Chapter 123 Great, no need to start over! (7000 chapters!)
When Yang Ruoqian was already in despair, the familiar voice of the system was like timely help!
For the first time, he felt that the system's cold voice was so kind.
Can the 2.0 version of the system save his life? Yang Ruoqian really doesn't want to start struggling again.
"Check the system upgrade content."
【Artist Training System 2.0】
[Host: Yang Ruoqian]
[Company funds 20060238.82 (5 million monthly quota, 5007000 star rewards, company profits and surpluses...). Company funds can only be transferred to the host's personal account in the form of wages, with a monthly limit of 2000. ]
【The host has successfully proved himself to be an excellent artist trainer through his impressive performance. Among the 8 artists, only 1 failed to become popular. However, if you want to grow into an entertainment giant, it is not enough to just accumulate fans. The host needs to consider the issue of traffic monetization while accumulating fans for its artists. This is the long-term way for the company to operate.】
[In order to help host companies achieve high profits as soon as possible, encourage hosts to make bold attempts, and simplify the increasing number of artist businesses, the system has been upgraded as follows:]
[The company's monthly quota has been increased to 10 million per month so that the host can better operate its artists]
[The profits and losses of all artists will be integrated. The system will only calculate the total profits and losses brought by all artists of the company and surrounding projects, and will no longer calculate the number of fans of a certain artist separately]
[The personal bonus settlement cycle has been changed to quarterly settlement. The settlement method has been changed from the number of fans to the amount of profit or loss brought by the artist project to the company. When there is a profit, the host can get a commission of 1/1000 of the profit. When there is a loss, both the host and the company can get a full subsidy for the loss! ]
Seeing this, Yang Ruoqian was excited.
"Looking at this 2.0 version, the system no longer counts the number of fans?!"
“Now we only look at the artist’s profits and losses?”
In other words, if the combined profit of all artists is 10 million, Yang Ruoqian can get a basic salary of 2,000 + a commission of 10,000 from the system.
If the combined loss of all artists is 10 million, Yang Ruoqian can get a basic salary of 2,000 + a subsidy of 10 million!
Why would they want a commission? They would just eat up the system subsidies! "And the profits are not calculated separately, but integrated together."
In other words, Yang Ruoqian no longer needs to worry about the data of a single artist. Even if there is a troublemaker who always makes money for the company, other loss-making projects can fill the gap of this profitable project...
Well, this 2.0 version of the system is obviously better than the 1.1 version.
Of course, given the nature of the system, there will definitely be more prohibitions.
Yang Ruoqian continued to look down...
【Notes】
[Investment in any project not related to the artist is prohibited! ]
[The host cannot transfer any of its businesses and subsidiaries free of charge]
[Unfair competition behaviors such as hiring online trolls, companies paying money to give gifts to their anchors, etc. are all violations! ]
[Don’t offer unreasonable salary amounts to artists! ]
[All violations of system version 1.0 are still valid! ]
Sure enough, just like version 1.0, any unorthodox methods will not work.
After all the precautions popped up, all system panels disappeared, leaving only the last option panel.
[The above are all the updates of version 2.0. Do you want to upgrade the version? Note: After the system is upgraded, the version cannot be rolled back. If the host refuses this upgrade, the system will always remain at version 1.1, and there will be no subsequent version changes.]
Yang Ruoqian didn't even think about it and chose to upgrade.
Each of the eight anchors recruited by the company in the past six months has left an indelible impression on him, and they always become unexpectedly popular in various ways.
Even if you try your best to remedy the situation, it is often like suppressing one problem but another one pops up. After all the hassle, you end up with nothing.
The only two anchors who made money, one gained followers after being poached by Yuefu, and the other rose to fame after resigning...
It is simply impossible to maintain stable long-term profits.
Of course, the reason why Yang Ruoqian chose to upgrade the system was not only due to psychological trauma, but also out of consideration for business upgrades.
If you choose not to upgrade the system, then each of the six anchors who remain in the company can only offer a maximum bonus of 5,000-500 yuan, and it is extremely difficult to reduce the number of fans.
Even if you form an e-sports team, with a dozen people to dilute the fans, you can only earn tens of millions of dollars in the end.
The so-called maximum bonus of 50 million is purely a mirage, out of reach.
Instead of trying to catch the moon in the water, it is better to upgrade the system and find new ways of playing.
It is not easy to reduce the fans of these old employees. If you increase investment in them, it will reduce efficiency and increase costs. Is it difficult to lose everything? How much can the 1.0 version of the system earn? If you work hard and are lucky enough to train a big loser, you can only make 5 million at most, and it is unsustainable.
The number of fans of an artist will always increase slowly, as long as it is not operated maliciously. In the long run, the bonus will become less and less.
Furthermore, with the current fame and reputation of Kuiguang Company, any anchor or artist who joins will bring a wave of traffic with them, and the chances of making big money are becoming increasingly slim.
But losses are different. With losses, you can spend money with just a flick of the finger. The company has 20 million in funds now. As long as it can lose all of it, the subsidy will be the full amount! A full 20 million! Even if the people under him can make some money back, at most they will just make a little less.
It’s not easy to make money these days, is it also difficult to lose money?
Didn’t I die suddenly because I lost so much money and worked so hard to make money to pay off my debts?
Although he has no skill in making money, Yang Ruoqian can proudly say that he is experienced in losing money.
Moreover, after the system upgrade, Yang Ruoqian and his Kuiguang Group will be qualified to truly enter the entertainment industry.
Compared with the entertainment industry, the level of money spent in the live streaming industry is just for fun.
If you want to lose money, you have to look at the entertainment industry!
And with the upgrade of the system, I think the loss of this money will increase...
The gloom in Yang Ruoqian's heart was suddenly swept away, and the uncomfortable feeling of being stabbed in the back by Yan Guang disappeared.
The future suddenly became bright! When my future was at its darkest, it was the system that saved me from the water and fire.
[System upgrade completed, welcome to use the new version 2.0! ]
[Now releasing the fourth-stage company expansion task: Build or purchase an office building that belongs only to the company: Kuiguang Building (note that projects not related to the company's artists will not be included in the profit and loss settlement of commissions or subsidies). This task has no time limit. 】
It’s just about not giving people any loopholes. It doesn’t matter.
There are too many projects related to the entertainment industry, and there are countless ways to lose money, so there is no need to take advantage of loopholes.
With his fighting spirit rekindled, Yang Ruoqian closed Steam, forgetting his previous idea of playing games with Chang Zhiqing, and began to work on a detailed plan to break into the entertainment industry.
The first step, naturally, is to set up a team.
He doesn't know enough about the entertainment industry, but that doesn't matter. He can hire a professional consultant who understands the entertainment industry's profit model, reject all of the consultant's opinions, and then hand it over to a layman to carry out the operations.
This not only saves you a huge loss, but also includes these two people in the operating costs, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
The current Kuiguang Group can at most be considered an agency responsible for operating and packaging artists. Many other affairs and activities still require cooperation with other companies.
For example, singers under Kui Guang have to cooperate with record companies, actors under Kui Guang have to cooperate with production companies, and so on.
Yang Ruoqian had two choices.
The first is to train singers and actors, and then open a record company and film production company to produce and sell their own products...
Or maybe just train artists and cooperate with other companies for other matters.
The two models each have their own advantages. If you produce and sell by yourself, the investment will be greater and the possibility of loss will be greater. But at the same time, if the project is accidentally successful, the profit level will be scary.
The system only allows the company to operate normally, and Yang Ruoqian himself is a layman. If he accidentally recruits some professionals and makes the business prosperous, it will be really ruined.
I don’t know how many projects’ losses will have to offset this profit point.
Therefore, the advantage of the second model becomes apparent - as long as Yang Ruoqian finds a company that is poorly managed or produces poor products to cooperate with its own artists, all accidents can be avoided.
Moreover, choosing the second option can also help you build relationships with people in the circle...
After making the decision, Yang Ruoqian opened his mailbox and first sent an email to all backstage employees. The content was roughly that due to the good business conditions of the company, it was about to officially enter the traditional entertainment industry and so on...
Of course, the content is also bound to give employees some toxic chicken soup and fake chicken blood.
Although the system has changed, the core has not changed. Yang Ruoqian's expectation for his employees is still to slack off when they can, enjoy themselves when they can, and do whatever they want except not working.
Yang Ruoqian, who graduated from a prestigious university, had a good score in Chinese in the college entrance examination. After he came up with an idea, he immediately opened a Word document and began typing with great passion.
More than ten minutes later, Yang Ruoqian silently grabbed the mouse, selected all the dozens of words he had written, and deleted them all.
Then he used his already limited balance to buy a one-month membership in Wenku and found a standard template article from it.
After replacing the key content with one click, Yang Ruoqian gave this mass email a title, titled "The company's future development, outlook on the entertainment industry, and expectations for employees."
After checking for typos and dates, Yang Ruoqian sent the group letter to all employees.
"After posting the chicken soup, the next thing is to think about who to recruit and what company to cooperate with."
After all, this was the first time in his two lives that he had set foot in the entertainment industry, so Yang Ruoqian still had to keep an eye on it. As for the live broadcast project, Yang Ruoqian could just decide the general direction and then completely hand it over to his subordinates.
To sum it up in twelve words: spend money lavishly, do small things, and do the wrong things.
As long as it operates normally, it's fine, but there's no mention of spending money wisely.
The operations of other companies are to spend a lot of money to buy traffic, buy hot searches, increase popularity, and use big data for precise delivery.
Yang Ruoqian could have changed his mindset, for example, he could have spent a lot of money to put Ruan Miner's video in the user group that doesn't play LOL, and spent a lot of money to put Huang Rushi in the beauty zone...
This can be considered a positive operation and will not be judged as a violation, but the streaming effect will not be significant, and it is a pure waste of money.
"The current plan is to recruit two more people, a professional operator and an amateur agent. Well, send the requirements to Lu Shuyuan..."
As he was thinking, memories of the past few days suddenly flashed through Yang Ruoqian's mind.
At the comic convention, the song was terrible, the singing was awful, the lyrics were terrible, but the guy sang it with such confidence.
At that time, he remembered, what was the name of the company?
It seems to be called Chengyu Media? The arrangement is bad, the lyrics are bad, and the ability to select singers is also bad...
Although Yang Ruoqian did not want to recruit a singer as his first artist candidate, all the above factors show that Chengyu Media is a very unreliable company.
It seems that such an unreliable company has the potential to become a partner of Kuiguang Group.
The more Yang Ruoqian thought about it, the more he felt something was right. However, adhering to the principle of caution, he still opened the browser and searched for the basic information of the company.
"Well, it's an Internet company with good financial strength and healthy business. It's also a listed company. It seems to be quite famous. I'm just ignorant."
After looking down, Yang Ruoqian was suddenly surprised.
"So you didn't get involved in the entertainment industry before. Did you expand your business into the entertainment industry recently?"
"The person actually in control is called Cheng Fei?"
Is that the cosplayer from before?
Yang Ruoqian still remembers that the singer called the young girl "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng", which was obviously referring to the leader.
He doesn't look like a reliable boss. He should be a second-generation rich man who inherited a family business or started his own business with a large amount of initial capital...
No wonder Chengyu Media is doing so poorly.
It turns out that I just entered this industry and I have an unreliable boss!
Yang Ruoqian was overjoyed - a company that suddenly expanded across industries would inevitably fall into problems such as management chaos, unfamiliarity with the business, low efficiency, etc.
Especially for a large enterprise with three-dimensional management and complex structure, the problem will be more serious and slower to solve.
Judging from the current performance of the young singer, Chengyu Media is probably at this stage.
Plus, you have a boss who is just playing around, so if you don’t lose a lot, who will? “Not bad, not bad. I’ll see how to contact them.”
Yang Ruoqian instinctively wanted to call his director and assistant Chang Zhiqing and ask her to do something, but he suddenly remembered that she was still on vacation at home and had not come to work at all.
"Forget it. The settlement period has become a quarter now, so these two days won't make a difference. Let's wait until she starts working."
"Let's settle the new agent and operations matters in the next two days."
…
At the same time, inside Chengyu Media.
In a spacious office, the tall Cheng Fei was wearing a white dress with her hair casually draped over her shoulders, but her eyes were very sharp.
In front of her were several employees who lowered their heads and accepted the scolding obediently.
"I asked you to train me a singer, and this is your answer?!"
"Look at the lyrics of this song. Even a middle school student could write it better than this!"
"And that kid's singing skills, where did you find them? Even if you go to a KTV and grab someone to sing on the mic, his singing won't be that bad!"
"Three million. I approved three million in funding, but now I can't even find a qualified singer?"
"If I hadn't happened to be visiting a comic convention that day and bumped into a singer from our company, how long would you have wanted to fish in troubled waters?"
Cheng Fei's anger had reason.
As a rich second-generation with a family background similar to Shao Yiqi's, Cheng Fei's personality can almost be said to be two extremes from Shao Yiqi's.
Shao Yiqi is a pure fun-loving person. No matter he is playing badly or working hard, he only follows one principle in everything he does - just have fun.
But Cheng Fei is different. She finally got a large sum of initial capital from her father and resolutely stepped into the entertainment industry that the company had not yet entered, just to prove her strength.
But now that the first project has turned out to be such a mess, how can she have the face to contact her father?
Although three million is nothing compared to her startup capital of over nine figures, this first project suffered a Waterloo, which is embarrassing for everyone.
The project manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to muddle through: "Boss Cheng, you have just entered the entertainment industry, and there are many things you don't understand yet. This, this, this, can't be rushed. Please give us another two months, and we promise..."
"I don't understand a lot of things, but I'm not deaf yet." Cheng Fei sneered and sat on the chair. "Two more months? I'll only give you two hours."
The person in charge was horrified: "You, you have to give us two weeks no matter what. What can you do in two hours?"
"You misunderstood what I meant. What I meant was that you good-for-nothings have two hours to pack up your things, collect your wages for the past few months from the finance department, and get out." Cheng Fei's tone was still cold.
I was so scared... It turns out that I was not asked to find a new singer within two hours...
wrong.
Get out of here!
The person in charge stared with wide eyes at the woman sitting in the upper seat. She had delicate features, an oval face and looked quite gentle. He couldn't believe that such heartless words could come out of her mouth.
He felt that he could still save the situation: "Boss Cheng, I..."
Cheng Fei, unable to bear it any longer, slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Get out! All of you, get out! If you don't get out, I will ask the security to ask you to get out!"
The person in charge finally left the office in a rage.
After cursing, Cheng Fei took two deep breaths.
I have to form a new team, and nothing can go wrong this time.
Moreover, it is best to find an agency to cooperate with.
The singers selected from Shanghai Society are indeed too unreliable.
"Ah, my father really tried his best to make me give up." Cheng Fei finally calmed down and shook her head while sitting on the chair. "He gave me a large sum of start-up capital, but he also contacted most of the famous agencies and told them not to cooperate with me... Is he determined to throw money into the water rather than let me get involved in the entertainment industry?"
"I want to..."
"You can block the big agencies, but can you block the small ones?"
Cheng Fei turned on the computer and began searching for local small and medium-sized brokerage companies in Jinhai.
"The reputation of this artist is not very good, forget it."
"What the hell, they have the nerve to make movies with this quality, they deserve to be on the verge of bankruptcy."
"Can you please stop singing? It's hurting my eyes."
"Hiss... So this is an agency. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was a nursing home."
After screening for a while, Cheng Fei became more and more dissatisfied.
What kind of monsters are those who come out of small brokerage companies? Suddenly, an extremely ugly and perfunctory company homepage caught Cheng Fei's attention.
"Kuiguang Group?"
…
The weather in Pengcheng in early winter is very good, with bright sunshine and gentle breeze.
This is especially true for Lin Cao, the former head of Yuefu anchor management.
Lin Cao stood on the street, his mood was just like the weather, extremely comfortable.
After months of wrangling, I finally got N+1 compensation from my old employer! Although the process was full of twists and turns, I finally got the money.
This was the fruit of victory he had obtained after several months of hard fighting!
"You are really cruel, Yuefu..." In the breeze, Lin Cao lifted his collar, with a hint of hatred in his voice, "Isn't it just a loss of money? Why do you target me like this?"
He couldn't help but think of Zheng Wei's sinister and cunning face.
However, I heard that Yue Mansion also suffered retribution recently. In order to suppress their competitors, they engaged in vicious competition, and ended up sending spies to the rival company, but the spy himself exposed it with an attitude of almost dying together.
This incident caused an uproar, and countless anchors and employees who had been disgusted by Yuefu jumped out one after another. For a while, they were criticized by thousands of people, and they were busy with public relations all day long, refuting rumors here, spending money there, clarifying here, and drawing a clear line with temporary workers there...
The Yue Mansion became the target of public criticism and was surrounded by enemies.
The overwhelmed Zheng Weinan finally had no time to care about a small fish like Lin Cao. He decisively transferred the compensation and then transferred his valuable legal and public relations personnel to deal with the current crisis.
According to news from a former colleague, Yuefu Group had a bad New Year's Day because of this incident. The impact was so bad that it even affected their entertainment projects.
As the director, Zheng Weinan was called to the board of directors and scolded. If it weren't for his past contributions, it would not have been impossible to replace the leader on the spot.
Lin Cao was in such a good mood now, not only because he got his compensation, but also because he was gloating over Yue Fu's misfortune.
"Hey, it's almost Spring Festival, where can I find a job?"
It was not easy for him to find a job since he was fired from a large group like Yuefu and was holding a grudge against it. Other companies would probably not dare to hire him after doing a quick background check.
But now Yuefu’s reputation has seriously declined. Even if the public relations team handles it urgently, it will be unlikely to eliminate the negative impact in a short period of time.
Being expelled from Yue Mansion could actually be a temporary advantage for Lin Cao.
I must find a new job during this time...
Thinking this, Lin Cao took out his car keys and got into his car.
The housing prices in Pengcheng are too shocking. Even after working for so many years, he still hasn't made up his mind to take out a loan to buy a house. He only bought a car for transportation at a price of around 100,000 yuan.
Now it seems that it was a very wise decision.
If I had a mortgage, I would have to stop paying it in the next few months, and it would be of no use even if I received N+1 compensation later.
After driving back to his rented house and having a simple bowl of noodles with臊子, Lin Cao took out his mobile phone and casually opened an online recruitment platform.
In fact, for elites like him, generally speaking, they would not look for jobs on online recruitment websites...
However, Lin Cao was a person who liked to think more, so he logged into his account with the idea of trying his luck and having a good meal.
The next second, his eyes froze.
Because big data directly recommended a very familiar company to him.
"Kuiguang Group..."
Lin Cao fell silent.
When he was still working at Yuefu Group, this small company headquartered in Jinhai repeatedly opposed Yuefu and even deliberately set a trap for him. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was the culprit for his loss of his job...
But after all, he was the one who provoked the other party, and now he was tricked in return. Lin Cao accepted the defeat sincerely.
Should I submit a resume to Kuiguang Company?
It’s not that Lin Cao had any good feelings towards this small company, but he really hated Yue Fu - not only had Yue Fu disgusted him for nearly half a year, but it also frantically smeared his image in many of its peer companies.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been running around for so long without finding a suitable job.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I just don't know if Kuiguang Company will take me in...
Just as he was hesitating, Lin Cao received a new email on his mobile phone.
Lin Cao looked down and saw that the title and content of the email were very simple and direct.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. We have received your resume and now sincerely invite you to come to our company for an interview!"
This company is a newly opened MCN in neighboring Yangcheng, but the capital tycoons behind it have strong financial resources and extensive connections, and they are in urgent need of talent.
The minimum monthly salary offered is 22,000 yuan, and the commission is negotiable.
Now that I have been invited for an interview, the position is basically a done deal, and the only uncertain factor is the salary and benefits.
If the Yue Mansion hadn't been busy cleaning up its mess recently and hadn't had time to keep an eye on him, this interview invitation would never have fallen into Lin Cao's hands.
Now, Lin Cao has two choices.
The first job was in the next city in the same province, with high salary and benefits, and a bright future.
For the second job, I would go far away to Jinhai, where I would work with a boss I once had a bad relationship with, and I might even run into former subordinates I had fired. The salary and benefits are uncertain, but they will most likely not be better than those in Yangcheng.
How to choose? Even a child can answer this simple multiple-choice question.
We are all adults, why should we give up immediate benefits just to get angry with others? Lin Cao didn't hesitate for a second, opened his phone directly, decisively rejected the interview invitation from Yangcheng MCN next door, and then sent his resume to Kuiguang Company.
"Yuefu, right? I will never forgive you!"
If I don’t get rid of this anger in this lifetime, I’ll have to write my name, Lin Cao, backwards!
(Thanks to Hammer is done for the reward, thanks to the countless monthly tickets, and thanks to the boss! Today's 10,000-word update is presented!)
