Chapter 446 Mu Shuangshuang terminates her contract

The game "Time Travel Romance" was originally scheduled to launch after its closed beta test in February.

After reviewing the finished product, Shen Xuewei felt it wasn't good enough, so she sent it back for further refinement.

This delay lasted until May, when the final product was presented to Shen Xuewei and finally received her approval.

In early June, the game was finally officially launched.

This is the company's first game targeted at women. If it succeeds, Shen Xuewei's net worth will be further expanded and enhanced through this game.

If the performance falls short of expectations, it means that the company will reduce its support for this game in the future, and Han Qianyu's promotion and salary increase will be canceled.

Fortunately, the game market is not very competitive, and its exquisite production ensured that the money the company spent over the past year was not wasted.

Even though Shen Xuewei had imagined very impressive figures beforehand, she was still taken aback by the nearly 400 million yuan in revenue in the first month.

The revenue of this one game in its first month was higher than the combined revenue of the other three games from Fengyu Technology in their first month.

As long as we stay true to our original aspirations and continue to develop this game well, the wealthy mothers who are the patrons of Time Travel Romance can be assured of a lifetime of riches and honor.

The following month, with the update of the dungeon card draw event, the monthly revenue officially exceeded 400 million.

Shen Xuewei was so happy that she would just sit there grinning all day long.

She personally sent Han Qianyu a notification of her promotion and raise.

She had just gotten home from the company and hadn't even settled into her seat when she received a call from Dai Keying.

"President Shen, Mu Shuangshuang is making a fuss about terminating her contract with us, saying she wants to go out and work on her own."

Shen Xuewei appeared in her office in Yunqi City on the same day she received the call.

Dai Keying stood in front of her and told her the whole story.

When employees reach a certain level of success and achievement, it's inevitable that they will want to go out and work independently.

Shen Xuewei had long anticipated this day, but when it actually came, and the person who wanted to terminate her contract and go solo was Mu Shuangshuang, the current top live streamer in the company, she still felt somewhat upset.

Mu Shuangshuang has shown outstanding performance in Taobao live streaming e-commerce.

Last year alone, her live-streaming sales exceeded 900 million yuan.

This year, due to the increased scale, her sales volume has exceeded 500 million yuan by the end of the first half of the year.

It's easy to imagine how impressive her sales figures will be in the second half of the year.

If she terminates her contract and leaves, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to Chuangying Juli.

At first, Mu Shuangshuang was grateful that Shen Xuewei was willing to discover and cultivate her talent. However, this gratitude changed as she had to give half of every penny she earned to the company.

Her fame is undeniable; as long as she's around, she'll keep making money.

The company trained her, but she has already made so much money for the company, and the company has recouped its investment. Why can't she go out and work independently?

The trigger for this idea was the payslip that came in July.

She worked hard live streaming for a month, so why should so much of her salary be deducted from her paycheck?

Shen Xuewei paused for a moment.

The money that was deducted from Mu Shuangshuang's account was not embezzled by the company, but was used to pay taxes.

The higher your income, the more you pay.

She knew that Mu Shuangshuang was heartbroken about that part of the money, and Shen Xuewei was also heartbroken about the part she had to pay!

Despite feeling sorry for her, Shen Xuewei could try to legally avoid taxes for the sake of long-term development, but she dared not evade taxes, given the numerous examples from her past life.

They were secretly relieved that they hadn't been caught, but if they had, they would have been finished.

In business, it's inevitable to offend people. Shen Xuewei has offended quite a few people, and there might be someone secretly watching her, making it impossible to guard against.

Since Mu Shuangshuang has already proposed terminating her contract and wants to go solo, Shen Xuewei knows that she can't persuade her otherwise.

She wants to terminate the contract, and according to the contract, she needs to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

She can afford the money, but the current point of contention with the company is the ownership of her account.

According to the contract, her account belongs to the company, and if she terminates the contract with the company, then the account will no longer belong to her.

When Mu Shuangshuang terminated the contract, she demanded that she take the account with her.

An account so deeply tied to the person is not really of much use to Shen Xuewei if she keeps it, but it's impossible to just let her take it away for nothing.

It's already August, and Singles' Day is just a few months away. Mu Shuangshuang is eager to start her own business and is willing to pay a high price to buy this account.

Shen Xuewei raised her price by 20% on top of her original offer, plus one additional requirement.

That is to have two new, seemingly clever live streamers from the company work as assistant streamers in her live stream for five months.

These five months cover the Double Eleven and Double Twelve shopping festivals in the second half of the year.

Mu Shuangshuang knew what the purpose was, but she was confident that her audience would not be stolen by the two newcomers, so she agreed to Shen Xuewei's conditions and completed the separation from the company.

When she left, she also took several of her frequently used staff members with her.

After she left, Lu Li became the top live streamer at Chuangying Juli.

Although Luli's sales were not as high as hers, they were not much worse.

In addition, the company has other streamers to support it. Although Mu Shuangshuang's departure had a short-term impact on the company, the company successfully incubated two accounts with tens of millions of followers on Douyin and began to generate revenue, which stabilized the morale of the employees.

Meanwhile, "Above the Thorns" finally premiered in September.

Filming for "Above the Thorns" wrapped up six months ago, and after completing production, the company began looking for a platform to broadcast it.

No television station was willing to buy the show, so it could only be broadcast as a web series on video platforms.

Several major domestic online streaming platforms include Qingkuang, Jinmang, Haiying, and Tudou. After extensive research and comparison of daily active users and other factors, the team finally successfully landed on Haiying.

This drama is a revenue-sharing production, and Tide Media, as the production company, has no copyright transaction relationship with the platform.

The platform only provides the platform for you to broadcast the show; it will not actively promote it.

The revenue of this drama comes from revenue sharing based on membership time, revenue sharing based on new membership acquisition, and revenue sharing based on advertising.

How much income one can earn depends on the performance of the show.

The first episode consists of four parts, with two new episodes released daily at 12 noon for members.

The production team had already made marketing preparations ten days before the show aired.

Tide Media doesn't have the budget for the kind of extensive advertising that involves flooding trending topics, so they can only try to capitalize on the popularity of the female lead, Xu Yue.

Even if it's controversial, it's still fame. As long as the show is promoted effectively, and the old stories are brought up again, Xu Yue has nothing to be afraid of.

As Xu Yue gained popularity, the production team released several high-energy trailers, raising the audience's expectations and scrutiny of the show.

At the same time, Shen Xuewei also arranged for the anchors of Chuangying Juli to promote the event on Douyin.

On the first day of its release, there wasn't even a featured spot on the homepage. If you wanted to watch the show, you had to specifically go to the TV series page to find it.

Those who were drawn to watch TV that day included Xu Yue's loyal fans and passersby who came to watch the drama after seeing it trending on social media.
