When it rains, it pours. Although Audi itself is the biggest capital and won't be swayed by capital, they couldn't resist the other party offering compensation and still wanting to snatch the endorsement for the Hope Legendary version.
On one side is a top stream, bringing their own compensation. Casually posting a Weibo post would directly break the Guinness World Record for reposts. Taking a selfie next to a trash can would turn that place into a scenic spot. Annual Most Popular Male Singer. On the other side is just a Best Crossover Singer.
If people voted with their feet, they would also choose the top stream.
Although those two songs were indeed liked by the higher-ups, compared to the top stream, the top stream was still a bit more alluring.
Hope isn't favored by big-name stars. It only sells a few dozen cars a year, and it's impossible to give a high endorsement fee.
50 million for 3 years, for a top stream, this is lowering their worth.
After all, they can get 80 million in remuneration for one TV drama.
What's 50 million? Even slightly lower-tier traffic stars start at 60 million, and only for two years.
Hope was directly dazed by the traffic. 50 million for three years, and it's a top stream.
As soon as they completed the signing, Hope's official Weibo directly gained 3 million fans.
Accumulated fans across all platforms increased by over 10 million.
This isn't a fucking splendid fortune. As for Jiang Hua, that's all past tense.
The meme of buying Hope to find your first love is outdated. Now it's driving Hope, enjoying an extraordinary life.
This positioning is very precise.
But Jiang Hua wasn't too flustered.
In the hotel, he was packing his luggage. In his card lies a cold 30 million compensation.
Who the fuck do you complain to about this? Being an endorser for less than a month and earning 30 million.
Originally he could have asked for more, but Audi isn't an ordinary company.
If they really take you to court, it won't be settled in less than three to five years.
Second only to Disney's legal department, they aren't joking with you.
As long as you terminate the contract, 30 million will be in your account immediately. With such a good deal, Jiang Hua agreed without a second thought.
Now another 30 million has arrived. The company's book funds are very ample.
At least enough for their company to collectively slack off for a long time. He doesn't want to strive anymore.
"Ah, Jiang Hua my bro, you're really not easy to find."
NetEase Cloud Music's president Zhang Jian walked in again with his little secretary. He's basking in glory now.
At headquarters, he's gradually gaining a voice too. NetEase Cloud Music is still some distance from its peak now.
But compared to the first half of the year, they're now firmly sitting on the throne of the second largest music platform.
The number of VIP users directly increased by tens of millions. These are real paying users.
The source of everything is the young man in front of him.
"Aiya, President Zhang, you're a rare guest. How do you have time to see me? Are you here for a meeting?"
President Zhang waved his hand, not standing on ceremony, and sat down on his own.
There's no need for those formalities with Jiang Hua. They can be considered to have come out of the same pit.
NetEase Cloud Music was almost thrown into the company's little black room. Jiang Hua's current situation is also similar to NetEase Cloud Music's past.
"Little Jiang, you're not being a good friend. You're being bullied but don't find your own people. I'm very angry."
After saying that, he picked up a bottle of water from the table and took a swig.
He really doesn't stand on any ceremony.
Jiang Hua laughed loudly, "What bullying? 30 million in hand. I actually hope there will be more such suckers."
Zhang Jian shook his head. This kid still has a carefree demeanor.
Sometimes he feels this isn't a young man. In this situation, he can still laugh.
Is 30 million a lot? It's just enough for the platform to add a few large servers.
Jiang Hua put his bag to the side and sat down with a smile, "Say it, what's the matter this time? Let me say first, I can't go to your company's annual meeting. I'm going home for the New Year this year."
President Zhang pretended to be disheartened.
"I didn't expect this is how I am in your heart. Can't I come see a friend if there's nothing?"
Jiang Hua was really speechless. He considers his own skin thick, but this one's skin is much thicker.
No wonder he can be a president.
Jiang Hua doesn't have time to chat idly with him. The Forty-nine City trip has already ended. It's time to set off back to Hangcheng.
After all, work at the end of the year is quite busy.
"I have a flight in the evening. There's still an hour now. If you really came to see me, let's have a meal. If there's anything, let's talk after the New Year."
President Zhang was speechless. This person has no sense of romance at all. No wonder he's still single.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. I've been promoted. I'm now in charge of the company's big entertainment project. I want to ask if you're interested."
Fuck, he's already promoted. The big entertainment project is the hottest thing recently.
Many big companies are entering.
But Jiang Hua isn't optimistic. This track is already dominated by one.
It's not a situation of one strong and many average, but one strong and many weak. Tencent occupies most of the market.
Even Alibaba will be defeated.
Jiang Hua shrugged, "I'm not optimistic about you guys. This isn't a good business."
What kind of talk is this? President Zhang is unhappy. He came full of confidence, thinking of your benefit.
How can you pour cold water on me?
"Enough, I know this road isn't easy. But headquarters has given a lot of resources. I believe it will definitely succeed."
Jiang Hua pondered for a long time and suddenly asked,
"Have you thought about changing tracks? How about we do a big entertainment project overseas?"
"Overseas?"
This isn't easy to do. The company's positioning is to first establish a foothold domestically, then expand overseas.
Directly giving up the domestic market goes against the higher-ups' plan.
Jiang Hua started his persuasion technique again.
"Think about it, is there still a market domestically? Qidian and Tomato occupy both ends of paid and free websites. Several video websites are also occupying the market. As for the traditional entertainment circle, it's also full of giants. It's too late now."
"But overseas is different. Although there are also giants everywhere, in entertainment, they are all traditional publishing giants. Internet giants are focused on more profitable industries."
"We can make a Qidian, or even make a TikTok app."
Fuck, President Zhang was shocked. Jiang Hua's idea is too bold. He has always thought Jiang Hua was a genius.
Of course, only in regards to music. But this guy's business sense is really strong.
As a high-level executive of a top internet company, his business sense is also very strong.
But the common problem of big companies is that if this project is to pass, it needs countless meetings.
The ship is big and hard to turn.
He frowned and thought for a long time, then slapped his thigh and said, "I'll do this. Tell me your plan."
Jiang Hua was dumbfounded. What do you mean you'll do it?
President Zhang said helplessly, "The company has already decided to start the big entertainment project. Your overseas plan is also included, but the timeline will be very long."
"But if we break away from the company and do it ourselves, this can start very quickly. You've convinced me."
