Chapter 114: The Thoughts of the Platform
“Hello, Mr. Bell, I’m sorry about earlier. I was a little too anxious.”
“We did not know that you had already signed with another video streaming website.”
“Sorry to have disturbed you.”
The person who called this time was still the person from the Ipanda broadcast website.
But this time, Bell did not hang up. He wanted to hear what the other party meant.
Moreover, Hanks was beside him.
Since Twitch wanted to play some tricks with him, he did not mind giving them more pressure.
The other party said, “It’s like this. I’ve seen that your Wilderness Survival round has just ended. There shouldn’t be any other programs to record in the short term. I wonder if you are willing to participate in a program alone? This program will be funded by our platform. What do you think?”
Bell was surprised. He had not expected the other party to suggest such a thing. Normally, after knowing that he had signed with another platform, shouldn’t they increase their chips and try to poach him?
In the end, the other party actually wanted to invite him to record a program.
“Of course, if Mr. Bell is not satisfied with your current platform, we can negotiate. We can talk about this face-to-face. The price we offer will definitely satisfy you. As for the breach of contract fee, you don’t have to worry at all.”
The phone’s volume was loud, and Hanks heard it clearly.
Hanks trembled.
He stared nervously at the phone in Bell’s hand.
Bell smiled.
He looked meaningfully at Hanks.
“Hehe, I won’t consider changing the platform for now, but we can discuss the recording.
Why don’t you send me the details of this program? We can discuss it in detail later. ”
Hanks heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Bell did not plan to move to other platforms.
The live-stream contract for Bell was only three months.
If Bell wanted to leave, he did not have to bear any penalty.
After all, when the contract was over, it was Bell’s freedom to choose anyplace he wanted.
But at the same time, Hanks felt some pressure.
It seemed like he was right to come personally this time. This was definitely not the only platform to try to rope in Bell.
If he were like in the past, feeling that he could bargain with Bell just by holding the contract, the result would be obvious.
On the other end of the phone, the person was overjoyed to hear that Bell had agreed to the program.
“Then, Mr. Bell, I’ll contact you after the program content is confirmed?”
Although he did not successfully sign the contract with Bell, it was not bad to be able to collaborate with Bell.
After the two of them exchanged numbers, they hung up. Bell turned and looked at Hanks.
Hanks looked at Bell awkwardly.
“Mr. Bell.”
Hanks felt that the other party might already know his intention.
But Bell did not intend to expose him.
“Alright, Mr. Hanks, show me the contract.”
Hearing Bell speak again, Hanks did not dare to delay and quickly took out the contract.
“Mr. Bell, look at this contract.”
Bell looked through the contract.
There were not many changes to the contract.
However, the basic treatment for Bell had increased.
Moreover, the platform promised to direct traffic to Bell.
At the same time, it seemed to be to motivate Bell, giving him clear conditions.
After reaching a certain number of fans, he would be promoted to a shareholder.
This was not much different from what Bell had thought before.
It basically required him to reach 100 million fans.
However, Bell noticed that there was no specific time on the contract. Instead, there was a blank space. Clearly, this was the goal of Hanks’ trip.
‘Looks like the effect of this live broadcast is really good. It made them quite impatient.’ Bell thought to himself.
He looked at Hanks. “Mr. Hanks, I’ve already read the contract. There are no other problems. The only problem is the time of the contract. I wonder how long the contract duration will be?”
Hearing Bell’s words, Hanks froze and revealed an awkward smile.
“B-Bell, what about one year? No, no, no, six months is enough.”
Although Bell was only an eight-year-old child, Hanks felt more pressure from him than from his leader.
This made him feel helpless.
The mission he received was to sign one year’s contract with Bell.
But judging from the current situation, it was clearly impossible.
It was not realistic to rely on the contract to restrain Bell. With Bell’s current reputation, many companies were willing to pay the penalty fee for him.
After hearing about the signing period of half a year, Bell did not nod in agreement. He continued to look at the other party with a smile.
Hanks panicked.
“Mr. Bell, why don’t you decide?”
Hanks was helpless.
How was this an eight-year-old child?
He felt like his thoughts had been read by the other party.
He had no initiative in front of Bell.
“Mr. Hanks, I think we should sign it for three months.”
In fact, Bell was not concerned about these basic salaries.
He knew that his greatest gain was the share of the traffic.
The duration of the contract was Bell’s bottom line. Only in this way could he maintain the initiative and have a way out at any time.
Hanks looked troubled.
“Mr. Bell, three months is too short.
I believe even if I don’t say it, you should know that this three-month contract has no binding effect on you.
After all, the platform also needs to consider the risk benefits. ”
“Even if the higher-ups agree, the directors will not agree to such a contract. The contract given now is the best the company can offer, Mr. Bell.”
Hanks looked troubled, and the meaning of his words was clear.
Although the higher-ups had the right to decide on some ordinary or high-level contracts, at Bell’s level, it was not something they could decide.
The terms of signing the long-term contract were clearly requested by the directors.
Bell shook his head inwardly.
“Maybe I should change companies.”
