A little scoundrel

Chapter 25 Raising the Stakes and Extending the Invitation

Ye Ge is too awesome! Two hundred million in two years!

Two hundred million in two years isn't really that impressive, is it? I know game streamers are never short of an audience. Some make over a hundred million a year, more than Ye Ge!

They're on YuYu Live! You think Bilibili streamers rely on signing fees? They mainly earn from gift revenue and ad revenue sharing, which is much more than signing fees!

Doesn't that mean if Ye Ge goes to Bilibili, he'd make at least two hundred million a year? Damn, now Ye Ge won't be short of money to buy props!

That's great! Ye Ge, go to Bilibili! We'll follow you there!

Wherever Ye Ge goes, I'll go!

Seeing the Bilibili manager directly poaching from Douyin's live stream, offering astronomical compensation, the fans and viewers were all shocked. Beyond their shock, they all encouraged Bai Ye to sign with Bilibili.

At this moment, those streamers and internet celebrities who were just watching were filled with envy and jealousy.

Bilibili hardly ever gave streamers a base salary; it was all about gift and ad revenue sharing, which was already a substantial income.

But now, they were offering a sky-high signing fee of two hundred million! This signing fee alone placed them among the very top tier of internet celebrity streamers.

And what about the ad revenue, the gift revenue? They even said it would be according to Ye's requirements! What percentage split? Would Ye get six tenths? Or even seven tenths?

They couldn't even imagine it. In short, envy and jealousy!

Then, many people began racking their brains, thinking about how to piggyback on Bai Ye's popularity.

Just as Bai Ye was considering and the audience was stunned, the live stream room was once again abuzz.

A shocking yet familiar gift effect lit up: Angelic Guardian!

[YuYu Loves Diving sent out 100 Angelic Guardians]

YuYu Loves Diving: Ye, hello! I am Ma Wenying, the manager of YuYu Live. We do not agree to your proposed signing fee of three years for six hundred million; it's too little! It doesn't match your worth. We are willing to offer a signing fee of three years for eight hundred million. As for other gift and ad revenue sharing, we will proceed according to your requirements. Although YuYu Live's advertising is currently inferior to Bilibili's, with your joining and our collective efforts, we believe we will definitely surpass them.

After sending the message, YuYu Live manager Ma Wenying smiled proudly.

An annual base salary of approximately 270 million!

Bilibili, Douyin, dare you compete with us in ruthlessness?

Bilibili's Manager Jiang and Douyin's Manager Lü were indeed startled.

YuYu Live is so aggressive? Directly offering a base salary of 270 million?

If Bilibili and Douyin managed to sign Ye, it would only be a risk of 100 million base salary per year, and the other promised revenues would only be shared after Ye had earned them!

But with YuYu, regardless of whether Ye earned money or not, it was a tangible expenditure of 270 million per year!

This is madness!

Seeing YuYu Live also coming out to poach, the audience erupted again.

Holy cow! YuYu is making a huge move! Three years for 800 million, 270 million a year? Plus gifts and ads, even at their worst, it's at least 30 million a year! Three hundred million a year! Ye Ge is amazing!

It feels like if Ye Ge goes to YuYu, it's much more secure! It seems like he'll earn even more than going to Bilibili!!!

Damn it!!

Bilibili's Manager Jiang, seeing YuYu Live jump in as a troublemaker, was furious. He gritted his teeth and made a firm decision.

[biubiu sent out 100 Guardian Angels]

biubiu: Ye, we at Bilibili are increasing the signing fee to 300 million for two years. We sincerely invite you to our grand stage.

Another increase?

Holy cow! An extra 50 million per year!!!

Before the audience could recover from their shock, the live stream room stirred again.

[YuYu Loves Diving sent out 100 Angelic Guardians]

YuYu Loves Diving: YuYu Live is increasing the offer, willing to provide Ye with a signing fee of 900 million for three years! YuYu Live looks forward to you joining us to build this rising platform.

!!!

This is it, are the two major platforms publicly showing their animosity to snatch a person?

I knew Ye Ge was popular, but today I truly realized how popular he is!

It's probably only Ye Ge who can make Bilibili and YuYu Live spend such a huge price to openly compete for him, right?

Ye Ge, go wherever offers more. More money means more sufficient preparation for props!

Speaking of which, both Bilibili and YuYu Live have made their move! Where is our Douyin daddy?

Yeah! Douyin is our Ye Ge's home turf, aren't they going to make a statement?

At this moment, not to mention ordinary viewers, even Song Qianqian and Wang Jingli, the manager of Tianlan Entertainment Company, were stunned.

Is Ye's market value really this high? Even the top-tier celebrities don't have such treatment as him, do they?

Those female internet celebrities who thought they had some good looks were now dry-mouthed and hot-eyed as they looked at Bai Ye.

If they could be his girlfriend for a while, not only would their food, housing, and entertainment be covered, but they would also gain unprecedented massive traffic!

Become famous overnight!!!

Looking at Bai Ye from the live stream room, their eyes were emitting green light!

At Douyin headquarters, Manager Lü's expression was solemn as he watched Bilibili and YuYu Live aggressively raise their offers to snatch the talent.

If they continue to compete like this, it's the three parties who will lose, and the one who ultimately signs Ye will inevitably pay a heavy price!

We can't keep raising the price. We need to come up with a condition that interests him and is irresistible!

Suddenly, a flicker of light flashed in Manager Lü's eyes, and he excitedly picked up the phone.

Hello, General Manager? Have you seen Ye's current situation?

Mm! Ye must stay with our Douyin. Are there any solutions?

Yes! We can add an annual salary to the conditions he proposed, and also provide him with overseas markets!

Manager Lü said excitedly: With his magical magic and superb talents in various aspects, I believe he will surely become a global sensation! General Manager, this might also be an opportunity for Douyin to further expand its overseas market!!!

Good, let's do this! We will handle the overseas accounts and all related matters for him!

Manager Lü's heart pounded rapidly as he watched Bilibili and YuYu fighting tooth and nail in the live stream.

One had already offered an annual salary of 180 million, and the other 330 million!

At this moment, the number of viewers in Bai Ye's live stream room had reached over 13 million, setting a new historical record!

Just as everyone was still focused on the fierce competition between Bilibili and YuYu, their long-awaited Douyin daddy also joined in.

They didn't use a "god-tier" account but directly issued an official announcement:

[Douyin Official: Hello! Ye! Your magic and all-around talents are breathtaking! Douyin is willing to invite you to officially sign with a signing fee of 360 million for three years. Regarding gift and ad revenue sharing, we will also allocate it according to your requirements. Additionally, Douyin supports you in opening up overseas markets for simultaneous live streaming domestically and internationally.]

Holy cow!!! Douyin daddy is here too!

360 million for three years, only 120 million a year, that's not good!

Yeah! Bilibili has offered an annual salary of 180 million, and YuYu is even offering 330 million!

??? Brothers, didn't you see the highlight? Douyin daddy is going to help Ye Ge expand into overseas markets! And it's simultaneous live streaming!!!

Simultaneous? Holy cow! Doesn't that mean we'll be able to see foreigners in our live stream rooms from now on? Awesome!

It seems like Douyin daddy is going to create a dedicated account for Ye Ge? A dedicated account for both domestic and international use? Holy cow, that would be amazing!

Only Ye Ge could have such treatment, right?

Understanding Douyin's move, the netizens were all stunned.

Douyin is divided into a domestic version and an overseas version, and the two versions are not interoperable. For domestic streamers to appear on the overseas version, they must cross networks and create new accounts!

And now, Douyin's intention is to create a dedicated account for Bai Ye, making it convenient for simultaneous live streaming both domestically and internationally!

What kind of treatment is this?

Unprecedented!

Seeing Douyin make such a big move, the managers of Bilibili and YuYu Live fell silent.

This condition was something they couldn't compensate for with money, but they still had to try.

They knew that the moment for Ye to choose a signing party had arrived.

[biubiu sent out 100 Angelic Guardians]

biubiu: Bilibili increases the annual salary to 250 million per year.

[YuYu Loves Diving sent out 100 Angelic Guardians]

YuYu Loves Diving: YuYu Live is willing to offer an annual salary of 400 million.

The two major platforms also released their final trump cards.

Netizens discussed enthusiastically.

Actually, I think Bilibili is quite good. A base salary of 250 million is more than enough, plus all the commissions!

YuYu is also not bad! At least it guarantees an income of 400 million annually.

Douyin daddy saying they'll help Ye Ge open up the market, but they also want Ye Ge to help promote their market, right? After all, with Ye Ge's capabilities, he'll definitely be a hit abroad too!

All three are very good, it's hard to choose!

Which one will Ye Ge choose? Actually, no matter which one he chooses, we will support him!

At this moment, everyone was looking at Bai Ye.

Which one will he choose?
