039: Signing fee of 5 million!
It turns out that he is not that greasy guy like Vice President Fang.
Because Jiang Mingjia was a woman, Xu Yao was much less defensive. She took Jiang Mingjia's business card, said a few compliments, and rejected Jiang Mingjia's invitation:
"I have no plans to sign with an agency for now."
If Xu Yao wanted to sign with the company, she would have done so a long time ago.
After the release of the video in which Xu Yao showed her face for the first time, several MCN agencies came to her like bees smelling nectar, all claiming that they could make Xu Yao famous.
Even Xu Yao was tempted by the conditions offered by two institutions, but after careful consideration, she rejected the invitation.
After rejecting the MCN agency's offer, Xu Yao established her own studio. Rather than relying on others for support, she decided to run her own business. MCN agencies are large and have abundant resources, but they sign a large number of people, of whom Xu Yao is just one. Xu Yao's own studio is small and has few resources, but it only has Xu Yao, and all the resources she can secure are dedicated to her!
The MCN agency that Xu Yao had rejected before was much more famous than "Jia Le Media".
Jiang Mingjia sensed Xu Yao's lack of interest in Jiale Media and couldn't help but laugh. "Is Miss Xu worried about Jiale's capabilities? Jiale is indeed a newly established agency, but precisely because of this, after signing with Jiale, Miss Xu will become a veteran anchor of the company. The company will allocate resources to Miss Xu, and anchors who sign later will not have this advantage."
The promotion manager for the makeup brand also chimed in, "Ms. Jiang has a very powerful background. If you sign with her company, you won't be fighting alone anymore. It's nice to be under a big tree. Miss Xu, why not listen to the contract terms that Ms. Jiang has proposed first?"
Xu Yao felt uncomfortable.
Xu Yao initially thought it was the quality of her account's content that attracted the cosmetics brand to discuss promotion. However, judging by current developments, the brand's promotion manager's approach to her had nothing to do with her account's content; they simply contacted her to connect her with Jiale Media. This also indirectly confirms the strength of Jiale Media and that Jiang Mingjia indeed has a strong background.
Jiang Mingjia, who has a strong background, put on airs. "Miss Xu, please listen to the conditions I offer. I came to you with sincerity."
Jiang Mingjia offered Xu Yao a seven-figure signing fee.
Even if Xu Yao fails to become famous later, she does not have to repay the signing fee that "Jia Le" gave her, and it will not be deducted from Xu Yao's income. This money is purely for Xu Yaohua!
Xu Yao didn't react at all, and her assistant Xiaoling even slowed down her breathing.
——"Jia Le" gave Sister Xu Yao a signing fee of 5 million!
As long as Xu Yao nods, 5 million will be available immediately.
Considering Xu Yao's current fan base and promotional offers, it would take more than two years for her to earn 5 million.
Although the MCN agencies that came to Xu Yao to discuss signing a contract were large in scale, the signing fees they offered were not good. Some offered Xu Yao a basic salary, while others, like "Jia Le", offered a one-time signing fee. The highest one promised to give Xu Yao a signing fee of 2 million, which was a far cry from "Jia Le".
Signing a contract with an MCN agency has its advantages and disadvantages. Xiaoling doesn’t know what Xu Yao will choose, but Xiaoling cannot refuse the temptation of a 5 million signing fee!
Xiaoling looked at Xu Yao nervously, but Xu Yao remained calm.
5 million is indeed a lot of money. It can buy a house of about 100 square meters in Nancheng. Even for Shenghai Garden, where Xu Yao currently lives, 5 million is enough for the down payment.
The reason Xu Yao was so calm wasn't because she'd had plenty of money before, but because the 5 million yuan she could use to buy a house in Nancheng wasn't even enough to pay off a fraction of the Xu family's debt! If Jiang Mingjia had offered her a hefty signing fee that would have been enough to pay off her debts, she would have signed with Jiale without hesitation, and she would have agreed to any number of years Jiang Mingjia wanted.
Unfortunately, Jiang Mingjia couldn't give Xu Yao the price she wanted.
When working for others, the boss would take away most of the money. In Xu Yao's situation, she could only work for herself to pay off her debts.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your kindness. I really don't have any intention of signing with an agency."
Xu Yao didn't want to create an unnecessary enemy, so she took all the responsibility for refusing the contract on herself. "I'm not very ambitious. I never thought I could become a phenomenal internet celebrity. My current fan base is the limit of my personal ability. If I shamelessly sign with 'Jia Le', I would be truly betraying President Jiang's kindness and expectations."
Jiang Mingjia frowned, "Don't you want to be famous?"
Xu Yao looked ashamed. "It's important for people to know themselves. I'm not as open-minded as others. You'd better not focus your energy on me."
Jiang Mingjia didn't really want to make Xu Yao famous. She arranged this meeting today just to get closer to Xu Yao.
It was the first time that Gu Jun accompanied a young girl shopping, and Jiang Mingjia wanted to know what attracted Xu Yao to Gu Jun.
Of course, if Xu Yao really agreed to sign the contract, Jiang Mingjia's 5 million yuan signing fee would be well spent. How many 5 million yuan could Gu Jun alone be worth? A mere 5 million yuan would secure Xu Yao's hand, and Jiang Mingjia wouldn't hesitate to pay. Once the contract was signed, Xu Yao couldn't refuse many things. Jiang Mingjia was the boss, so it wouldn't be easy for her to manipulate Xu Yao, a minor influencer. She had plenty of tricks to change her beyond recognition. Gu Jun would definitely not like Xu Yao, who was created like other influencers by an MCN agency!
Jiang Mingjia didn't expect Xu Yao to refuse.
Is it that the signing fee of 5 million is not attractive enough, or is Xu Yao's target Gu Jun, who is worth many 5 million?
Jiang Mingjia advised Xu Yao: "Miss Xu, a bird in the hand is worth more than a thousand in the bush. Instead of pinning your hopes on people or things that you can't reach even if you jump, why not hold on to what you can reach first? What do you think?"
Xu Yao didn't quite understand Jiang Mingjia's hint, and Jiang Mingjia didn't say anything else. Before leaving, she asked Xu Yao to think it over before contacting her.
Jiang Mingjia's attitude made Xu Yao very uncomfortable.
The makeup brand's marketing manager was worried that Xu Yao wasn't understanding the situation, so he tried to hint to her, "You won't regret signing with President Jiang. President Jiang has a strong background and connections, and if she were to start an MCN company, it would be a sure win. You joined Jiale in its early days, and President Jiang won't treat you unfairly."
Xu Yao asked the person in charge, "Mr. Jiang is so powerful, why does he have to sign a small blogger like me? With Mr. Jiang's financial resources, wouldn't it be better to sign an already famous anchor?"
This question stumped the person in charge.
Xu Yao pressed on, "It seems that President Jiang really saw my potential and condescended to sign me. President Jiang and I can come down and talk later. Should I sign the promotion contract with you now?"
Xu Yao wanted to let the person in charge know that if he wanted to be a middleman, he had to show something real. Xu Yao didn't want this person in charge to use the excuse of negotiating promotions to waste so many days!
