The Enhanced Life of Rampage

Chapter 107 Gambling Agreement
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon on June 23, at the headquarters of Xiqin Video Network in Beijing.

In the conference room of the operation and maintenance department, all the engineers are gathered behind a computer.

"Did you come out?"

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes waited for a few minutes with staring eyes. After seeing the young employee sitting in front of the computer silently typing on the keyboard and walking back and forth anxiously for a few steps, he still couldn't bear it. Stop asking out loud.

"Hurry up! It will take some time to pull it out, Mr. Zhang, don't worry!"

"Can I not be in a hurry? The boss said that if you don't come out before 03:30 in the afternoon, I have to go out!" After hearing this, the middle-aged man named Mr. Zhang angrily reprimanded: "I have raised more than ten people." As an operation and maintenance person, if you pull data for more than ten minutes and there is still no result, what do you do for food?"

This annoyed remark obviously provoked a group of employees who were watching the theater, and all of them were ridiculed for a while.

"Mr. Zhang, you are not in this business and don't understand this stuff. If the amount of data is too large, it will take a lot of time to filter it. This is completely normal!"

"I don't know what the company thinks about transferring administration to technology!"

"..."

Manager Zhang obviously knew that he had committed public outrage, and wanted to apologize to everyone, but when he saw the soldiers under him criticize him in front of him, he suddenly couldn't hold back his face.

Fortunately, the required data finally came out. Following the series of numbers reported by the young man sitting in front of the computer, everyone didn't care about the ambiguity, and everyone present was stunned.

"Really...really?"

"Is there something wrong? Do you want to check again?"

"I read that he said that the cost is only 60 yuan? Can 60 yuan produce such a terrifying effect?"

Everyone said something to each other, and they all felt unbelievable about the data found by the colleagues on duty yesterday!
24 million views in 630 hours!
The total amount of rewards is 51!
The average user rating is 9.1 points!
"this is too scary!"

After muttering to himself, Manager Zhang suddenly realized that he still had business to do, and immediately ran outside, turning around and shouting, "Just to be on the safe side, pull the data again. Call me anytime with questions!"

······
In the top office, when Xiqin boss Chen Bingxuan heard the data that Manager Zhang said, he was also slightly absent-minded for a few seconds.

"Amazing!"

After sincerely admiring, Chen Bingxuan immediately dismissed Manager Zhang. At the same time, he picked up the landline on the table and dialed a short number, "I am Chen Bingxuan, help me check Chen Xi's agency and address information. If there is any information about him, The contact information is better, I want this person's information within 10 minutes!"

Business!

Chen Bingxuan smelled money!
You know, although the size of Xiqin is not too small among the domestic video sites, it is purely self-deceiving to say that it is one of the best. Not to mention the integrated media platforms of the previous provincial satellite TVs, just the one in Beijing. In other places, there are two that are bigger than their own!
The only thing that Xiqin is better than other websites is its unique barrage culture and highly free creative support. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Chen Xi chose to post the first episode of the program on their website.

But just posting the first issue doesn't mean that the following content will be played on their website!
You haven't talked about a buyout or signed an exclusive agreement with me. I'll be on the show wherever I fall in love!After it makes me feel bad, I can even post one issue on each platform!
Although the possibility of this was extremely small, Chen Bingxuan didn't dare to gamble, nor could he afford to gamble!

Half a year has passed in 2012. In the first half of the year, Xiqin spent more than 3000 million yuan to buy the exclusive network broadcasting rights of two popular costume dramas and a reality show variety show, and spent a lot of money. The effect was mediocre!
The level of the director is not in place, the gap between before and after is too big!
Many TV dramas and variety shows nowadays record a few episodes first, and then start selling the broadcast rights while continuing to shoot the subsequent content. This way, you can maximize the use of time and avoid any gaps!
The first few episodes were very detailed and the effects were great, but after the broadcast rights were purchased, the quality of the program dropped instantly!
The audience also changed from the initial expectation to the annoyance of hating iron but not steel!
Celery has become a blame man!
"Since I joined your platform, the quality of the videos has plummeted!" Most of the viewers commented like this!

In other words, on the surface, Xiqin Video Network looks promising and has a bright future, but in fact it is in a dilemma!
At this time, a show that was exclusively produced by Chen Xi and not supported by any sponsors suddenly appeared, and the audience responded very well. How could Chen Bingxuan not be excited?

"We must take it down! At any cost!"

······
Qingzhiyuan, Lingxi Studio.

Chen Xizheng stared at the reward amount displayed on his creator's backstage with an infatuated look on his face and giggled.

"51 rewards! This is still a day's worth!"

It's time to post!
It's no wonder he lost his composure. Even if this part of the account needs to be shared with the video platform, after deducting the messy taxes, he can still get a full income of more than 20 yuan!
Of course, compared to the 50 that Chen Xi earned from participating in CCTV's "Lecture", this money can be regarded as hard money. It is really hard work to stay up late and wear multiple jobs.But Chen Xi is still very proud, this is something made at a cost of 60 yuan!

"Sure enough, there is a golden house in the book. The ancients never deceived me!"

Chen Xi was wiggling his butt in a noisy manner when the phone suddenly rang, and it was the phone number from the studio.

It was the first time that Chen Xi heard the landline phone ringing in the studio, and Chen Xi paid special attention to it. He picked up the microphone after correcting the tone, and said in the most negative voice he thought: "Hello, Lingxi Studio!"

"Hello, is Mr. Chen Xi there? Or is Mr. Chen's manager here?" A middle-aged voice came from the other side of the microphone.

"Er...you wait a moment!"

It seems that this is still a person who doesn't know the situation of his studio!

Influenced by the great success of the video, Chen Xi felt a little playful for a while. After blocking the receiver for a few seconds, he said in the same voice as before: "Hello, I'm It's Chen Xi!"

"..."

There was no sound from the other side of the microphone for a long time, probably the other party was also shocked by Chen Xi's coquettish operation, can they still play like this?
You don't even change your voice?It's too perfunctory!
After a long while, the other party's weak voice came again from the receiver, "Ahem...Mr. Chen is such a humorous person!"

Probably because he was afraid that Chen Xi would do something else, the other party didn't plan to give him time to talk, so he didn't stop talking about the reason for his call, "Let me introduce myself, I'm the general manager of Xiqin Video Network Chen Bingxuan, the main reason for calling Mr. Chen today is to discuss with your agency about your rights to broadcast "Chen Xi's Kitchen."

Celery?

Isn't this the platform for uploading videos by yourself?

For a 2G video, it took me more than an hour to upload it before it succeeded!
To be honest, if Chen Bingxuan hadn't called in time today, Chen Xizhen would have planned to change the upload location for the second issue.

I don't know if Chen Bingxuan will be more grateful for the timeliness of his actions when he knows the news!
"Ahem...then what, you continue to talk, I'm listening!"

After hearing the urgency in the other party's words, Chen Xi immediately stopped panicking!
Sit tight on the Diaoyutai!
I'll listen to what you have to say before deciding!
Chen Bingxuan didn't intend to play tricks on him, because Xiqin really needs one or two works that can open up the user market and attract active traffic. Obviously, Chen Xi's web comprehensive is very suitable, "Why don't we take the responsibility of your company Invite people as well, and the three of us can arrange a place to meet and discuss in detail?"

"Ahem... just tell me, what do you mean?" Speaking of this topic, Chen Xi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Shame!
Others still want to talk to my company, what are they talking about?
I am the only polished commander in my entire company!
"Mr. Chen can make the decision?" Chen Bingxuan obviously didn't understand what he meant. The situation was urgent, and the staff of the External Relations Department didn't do a too detailed investigation. They didn't get this part of the information in advance, and the message passed to him was just a sentence: " Chen Xi's agency is called Lingxi Studio!"

"If it's true, I'll tell you the truth!" Chen Xi slapped his chest loudly and just added, "Whatever I say is what the company is"!

"Okay, since Mr. Chen said so, I won't be verbose."

Chen Bingxuan saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he hesitated for a while and chose to tell the truth: "Although it is said that the shopping malls are full of half-truths, I might as well tell Mr. Chen about his family background. Xiqin's current situation is really embarrassing. There is an urgent need for a work that can help Xiqin get out of the predicament, so my next quotation is the highest psychological price of our company. Mr. Chen only needs to consider agreeing or refusing. I think this way is more beneficial to both of us. good."

It seems that he is still a decisive master!

Does this mean that either I succeed in taking it or I turn around and leave?

"Okay, Mr. Chen, tell me, let me listen first."

Chen Bingxuan was silent for a while, and seemed to muster up the courage to say his offer, "We, Xiqin, are willing to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights of Mr. Chen's web drama with an uncapped guarantee."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chen Xi was a little troubled.

Say it well, it's so winding, I didn't even get a number after listening to it for a long time, and everyone was stunned by you!
"It's like this. I just asked our technical staff to retrieve the background data and found that the 24-hour broadcast volume of your first episode was 630 million. Then we are willing to buy the exclusive broadcast rights of your program at a minimum price of 630 million. .”

After Chen Bingxuan explained the meaning of the guarantee, he continued: "The uncapped means that once our cooperation is reached, we will pay you a lump sum of 630 million as soon as possible, but this does not mean that your The exclusive rights to broadcast the program are only 630 million."

"The actual transaction price is based on the episode with the highest 24-hour broadcast volume in your program!"

As if he was afraid that Chen Xi still wouldn't understand, Chen Bingxuan gave him an analogy, "For example, you plan to record ten episodes in total. After all the shows are recorded, let's look back and find out that the seventh episode is 24 hours long. The number of broadcasts is the highest, reaching 1300 million, so our buyout price for exclusive broadcasting rights is 1300 million, and we will make up the remaining 670 million contract payment for you after the data comes out.”

"How do you like this approach?"

After Chen Bingxuan finished speaking in one breath, he began to wait silently for Chen Xi's answer.

The minimum guarantee is 630 million, with no upper limit...
To be honest, although Chen Bingxuan's visit was a bit abrupt and anxious, it can be seen from the way he quoted that he was not unprepared, or that this in itself was a subconscious choice of a successful businessman.

Seek profit and avoid harm!
Your next video is a crotch-stretching one, so I’ll spend 630 million. Overall, it’s not too bad. After all, you’ve released the first issue for free on our platform. To put it bluntly, this issue is actually worth it. , so even if the quality of the later ones is a little worse, it’s not unacceptable.

If you, Chen Xi, are full of energy and become bigger and stronger under the temptation of money, then we will be so happy!If you have the ability to produce a program with 24 million views in [-] hours, even if I, Chen Bingxuan, kneel in front of various investment institutions and beg, I will pay you [-] million!

why?
Because I earned nothing!

Is it worthwhile to buy a user for one dollar?

This is still the highest level, what about the other periods?There is no need to pay extra. After deduplicating users in each period, you will definitely get more than 1000 million users for 1000 million. If you spend [-] million, you may get [-] million users!

Even though many of them are old users of the Xiqin platform, Chen Bingxuan is not worried at all.

Let them see that we, Xicelery, can also have the exclusive right to broadcast such a high-quality variety show!
Show off your muscles abruptly!

Is it a loss?

It's not a loss in blood, okay?
And when it really came to that point, there was no need for Chen Bingxuan to beg his grandpa to tell his grandma to borrow money everywhere. Those investment institutions who heard the news would probably crush the tempered glass door of his office!

These days, there are plenty of people with ideas in their heads, and a lot of people with money in their hands, but why are there still so many people with good ideas but no rice to eat?Why are there still so many investment institutions that would rather keep the money in their hands than spend it randomly?
In the final analysis, it is still a question of evidence. You have to prove to me that the money I gave you has a purpose and is not just wasted!
The playback volume is the ironclad proof!
Therefore, the time interval between Chen Bingxuan getting the data and making a phone call was less than half an hour, but his way of quoting undoubtedly showed that he was a serious businessman.

Chen Xi's head turned quickly, and after thinking for a while, he figured out the problem.

It's not unacceptable!

You earn your users and traffic, I earn my money and reputation, everyone gets what they need!

"I believe Mr. Chen still has something to say? Why don't you say it together, let's decide whether to cooperate or not!" With a clear mind, Chen Xi was not dazzled by the benefits in front of him, but regained his composure.

"Ok?"

Chen Bingxuan was really surprised!
Indeed, he still had conditions that he didn't mention, but he didn't expect that the other party, as a star in the entertainment circle, would have such a quick thinking!

After admiring, "Mr. Chen must be a genius if he comes to do business!" After that, Chen Bingxuan added solemnly: "In order to ensure the integrity and reliability of our cooperation, I have two supplementary conditions!"

"First, the number of videos must not be less than seven!"

"Second, the average 24-hour views of all videos must not be less than 500 million!"

"If Mr. Chen can't complete the first point, then we will recover the 630 million paid to you according to the agreement. All the videos you have released are equivalent to giving us celery for free to attract traffic."

"If the second point cannot be completed, then based on the difference between the average play volume and 500 million, Mr. Chen needs to compensate us ten times the amount of money. For example, after all your programs are played, the average 24-hour play volume If the number of views is 490 million, then you need to return 100 million to us as compensation for the bet. If the number of views is 200 million, then you need to compensate us 3000 million!"

"This is also to ensure that the quality of your works can always be maintained at a high level. You can achieve 630 million in the first issue. I believe that as long as you work hard, the content in the future will only become more and more popular, instead of falling all the way. .”

The two supplementary contents mentioned by the other party did not arouse Chen Xi's disgust like the education and training institution he came to last time. They were indeed reasonable requests.

The first point is to ensure stability, and the second point is to ensure the quality of the program video. And judging from the values ​​set for the bet, Chen Xi also feels that the other party is relatively sincere. Basically, as long as Chen Xi does it with his heart , if nothing else, it is relatively simple to meet these conditions.

"Ok!"

Chen Bingxuan was listening carefully, for fear of missing a word from Chen Xi. When he suddenly heard a sentence in foreign language on the phone, he almost didn't react, "What?"

"I said ok! Good!" Chen Xi explained again.

"Oh! Huh?"

Chen Bingxuan feels very strange today!
First, it was the first time that I used this flat and straightforward way to do business with people, and then the person I did business with seemed to be a bit sloppy!

That's it?
After hesitating for a while, Chen Bingxuan still suggested: "How about, Mr. Chen, you can discuss it with the leaders of your company? After all, these matters involve not only the artist himself, but also the brokerage company to which he belongs."

"Hehe, don't worry!"

The matter was settled, and Chen Xi stopped teasing the other party, "In my company, I am the only one. I am the boss, I am the artist, I am the one who collects money, and I am the one who mops the floor and cleans the windows. Do not worry!"

"..."

Chen Bingxuan was in a daze for the first time today.

Don't blame him for not knowing much.

In fact, the artist I came into contact with today is a bit... so what...

So weird!

　Two in one, today is only [-] for this chapter, I am too sleepy, go to bed early~
