Look at what you’re saying—if anything goes wrong, you’ll take the blame for me. That alone is proof enough of your affection.
“Wow, really? If you’ll take the fall if anything happens, that’s amazing. Since you said that, I’m going to go all out!”
Lin Guanqi asked Bai Ningbing one last time. If he didn’t take back his words, Lin Guanqi was really going to do it. After all, who wouldn’t be tempted by a chance to start a business without needing to spend a dime?
“Of course. As long as you’re having fun, what do these little sums mean?”
Bai Ningbing’s doting wasn’t something that could be measured by money—he didn’t even care about it at all.
To him, money was truly just something external.
“Alright then, since you said so, I’ll do it.”
Lin Guanqi, determined to go all the way, took the contract and headed to the Note Company platform.
As for Note Company, under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have accepted this proposal. But then they saw the Bai Group listed as a partner.
Their attitude changed instantly. After all, the Bai Group had invested a lot on their platform.
If they disturbed this big Buddha behind the scenes, it would spell trouble. On top of that, cooperation between the two companies would mean further support from the Bai Group, which could only be a good thing.
The person who came out to sign the contract immediately put on a different face.
“Ahaha, so that’s what it is! Isn’t this a case of floodwaters rushing into the Dragon King’s temple? We’ve actually just heard that an entertainment company is being set up and was looking to cooperate with us, and we’ve been quite eager to work with them too. Who would’ve thought the boss of that company is you!”
Strange. Why was Note Platform’s customer service being so polite?
According to the plot of a novel, shouldn’t they first look down on him, then have Bai Ningbing step in to save the day, and finally regret their decision?
This really wasn’t how the script usually went.
“So that’s it. I didn’t expect all the platforms to have already wanted to cooperate with my company. Since that’s the case, let’s skip the small talk and sign the contract directly. I can supply your platform with plenty of high-quality streamers, and I can even develop a new competitive track. I guarantee it’ll be much more profitable than your current model!”
Of course, Note Platform’s customer service was eager to sign the contract. After all, the Bai Group’s support was extremely important to them. Previously, they’d even tried to approach someone from the Pepsi Group to discuss a partnership, but they didn’t even get to see the person in charge—the assistant kicked them out.
Now, with this opportunity delivered to their doorstep, how could they possibly say no?
“Great, let’s sign the contract right away. As long as your company’s streamers join our platform, we’ll offer them nothing less than an A-grade contract.”
In the entertainment, that is, live streaming industry, contracts are divided into three levels: S-grade, A-grade, and B-grade. B-grade is for regular streamers, A-grade is for quality streamers, and S-grade is for customized talents. For him to offer such terms showed real sincerity.
Since the other party was being so generous, he couldn’t be stingy either.
“Alright, then let’s have a great partnership!”
“Of course, looking forward to working together!”
The two of them hit it off at once.
Who does business like this? Not a single round of bargaining—just a few words and the contract was finalized. What about those companies that wrack their brains to get a contract—wouldn’t this shatter their hearts?
Lin Guanqi happily took the contract and stepped outside.
Bai Ningbing was waiting patiently for him.
“Why are you so happy? Did you get the contract?”
“Of course, it’s all settled! And do you know what kind of contract they gave me? They offered A-grade or above right from the start—it’s super friendly to the people working under me!”
“An A-grade contract, huh? Not bad. But I feel like this company’s platform is pretty small. Are you sure you don’t want to consider another one?”
Bai Ningbing wasn’t joking. Their company had indeed invested a bit in this platform, but it was only a small amount, and not the main focus. Among all the entertainment platforms, this one had the lowest return rate, so naturally, the funding wasn’t a priority.
But now that someone important to him had joined this company, their investment strategy would have to change.
“Aiya, you just don’t see the potential. This company has massive potential for the future. And it’s not even about the future—I’m telling you, it’ll blow up this year. Do you believe it?”
A mediocre company collapsing overnight was common enough, but for it to become an overnight sensation—that would be tough.
“It doesn’t matter whether I believe it or not. If you can pull it off, that just means you really have talent. Besides, you probably didn’t know—this entertainment company has a partnership with our Bai Group. If you really make it big, who knows, maybe we’ll invest even more!”
No wonder they agreed so quickly. So that’s what it was—the moment they saw the words “Bai Group” on the contract, they agreed immediately. It seemed his backing had done the trick.
But so what?
If someone else had this kind of backing, they’d be able to sign contracts quickly too. So, it’s not really cheating, right?
At most, it just means his connections are better, right?
Besides, the other party treats him better, opening up a little shortcut. There’s nothing wrong with that, is there? Plus, his company really does have the strength.
Inside the company—
“Hey, sis, are you here to be an entertainment streamer too? This is the first time I’ve heard of this streaming model. Can you explain it to me?”
“I’m new here too, and it’s also the first time I’ve heard of this streaming model. You want me to explain it? Wouldn’t that be the joke of the century! When I first got here, I didn’t see anyone around, so I guess everyone here is newly recruited?”
“Yeah, I get that it’s a startup, but what I don’t get is that this person really started a company just by hiring people.”
“Heh, say what you will, but it seems like all the finance and other key staff were recruited first. Plus, the partner is the Bai Group—you should at least know that, right?”
“So that’s it. With the Bai Group’s support, even a one-person company could make it big. After all, two-thirds of the domestic business is owned by the Bai Group nowadays.”
“As long as you understand. Doing your best as a streamer here is better than anything. Plus, the company’s benefits aren’t bad—you can make eight to ten thousand a month, way better than other companies. And if you don’t have magic these days, it’s basically impossible to get a decent job elsewhere.”
