Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 242
[Within 5 years from the signing of this contract, the kitten platform will provide an 8% salary increase every year. At the same time, Mr. Li Xiao cannot sign agreements, contracts or labor or agreements with other live broadcast platforms.If Mr. Li Xiao unilaterally terminates the contract within 5 years, he needs to abide by the 5-year non-compete clause and compensate 200 million yuan. For this reason, the kitten platform can use 35% of the salary as the compensation clause of the non-compete agreement. 】

To put it simply, within 5 years of signing this contract, Li Xiao has sold herself to the kitten live broadcast platform.

Li Xiao has no way to sign any service agreement with any company other than the kitten platform. For example, if Li Xiao wants to broadcast live on the Xiaoyu platform or the puppy platform, or even just post a video.

As long as it is without the consent of Kitten Live, once Li Xiao shows his face on other live broadcast platforms or videos, it will be illegal, and the liquidated damages he will have to pay at that time will be an astronomical figure.

The so-called non-competition agreement means that even if you terminate the contract, you will not be able to engage in any activities related to live broadcasting within five years, and you will not even be able to participate in self-media.

This point is a bit difficult, although Li Xiao doesn't have to live broadcast now.

But if you can’t even publish some food-making videos after leaving the kitten live broadcast platform, it’s a bit outrageous.

Although it is said that 35% of the monthly salary is given as compensation for the non-competition agreement within the 5 years, the compensation of 7000 yuan a month is like a joke to Li Xiao, who has 10,000+ for any live broadcast. .

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, and wanted to laugh it off, but after all, it’s [-]% more, so I should contact the other party, besides, it was Mr. Xuanwu who sent me the message last time, and the other party was quite polite to me .

Clicking on the other person's profile picture, Li Xiao sent a greeting for straight men
[Hello, Xuanwu, are you there? 】

The other side replied within three seconds.

[Yes, yes, hello, Mr. Li Xiao, is there any problem with the contract? 】

Xuanwu in the office hastily put down the cup noodles in his hand, even though it's not time for work yet.

However, he has never had the habit of taking a lunch break. The stupid bird flies first, and if he works two hours more than others, he will improve two hours more than others. He is not willing to waste this precious time for improvement on things like taking a nap.

Although Li Xiao was a little surprised when he saw the other party's reply immediately, he didn't think too much about it. After all, he was also working, so it was normal for the other party to be working as well.

[Hello, I want to ask about the contract signing period and whether the five-year non-competition agreement must be added? 】

Seeing Li Xiao's reply, Xuanwu showed such an expression as expected, and then he smiled wryly. Most of the contract problems occurred at this step. After all, for the anchor who can sign this contract, the previous salary and broadcast time There will be no major problems.

A salary of 2 yuan is something that even anchors of this level look down on. After all, the number of fans of an anchor who can sign this agreement is basically more than 300 million. Not to mention a live broadcast, tens of thousands must be there, and then an advertisement The promotion is tens of thousands or even more, how can it be possible to see a salary of 2 yuan a month.

Someone like Li Xiao who can receive a contract with only 180 million fans is completely different. If his live broadcast data hadn't crushed the 300 million-level anchor, he would never have received this contract at all.

Don't look at it as a 2% share, but the interests of the representatives behind it are astonishingly large. If Li Xiao had changed the contract [-] months earlier, the money he got would be hundreds of thousands.

And the length of the anchor's broadcast time represents the income of these anchors. Even if these anchors are unwilling to go online, the team behind them will urge him to go online, and the father behind them will also urge them to live more. .

So two hours a day and a monthly salary of 2 yuan are just cosmetic items, and they are dispensable terms, so usually no anchor will raise objections because of these two issues. The most common is the third condition, [3 years contract and a 5-year non-compete agreement].

You must know that the anchor industry can be said to be a bowl of youthful rice, and it is an industry with a very short life cycle.

Not to mention 5 years, some anchors can’t even survive 5 months, just like a flash in the pan, this month they are still ranked in the top 10 of the popularity list, and the next month they disappear, and this anchor can’t be found at all. This anchor seems to have disappeared from the world, and no one will remember him.

A 5-year contract plus a 5-year experience period basically binds the anchor's entire career to the kitten platform.

The reason for doing this is that these anchors will flee to other platforms after their own platforms become popular.

Of course, what he is afraid of is not you, but he is worried that when the anchor leaves, he will also take away a large number of loyal fans. That is the biggest harm to the platform.

For platforms, the number of users is the guarantee of their status. If a platform does not even have users who watch, then they are not far from bankruptcy.

Of course, the reason why Kitten Live dared to do this is because he is the leader in the industry. It really has the confidence to ask its anchors to do this.

And most anchors will also sign this agreement after bargaining.

After all, many anchors are also worried that their live broadcast career will not last long, if it becomes popular after a few months, it will not be popular.

Then they can only live on their laurels, fishing for fish every day, relying on the rewards of some old fans or the promotion of some small businesses. After all, there is no popularity. Even if there are millions of fans, no one will pay attention However, big businessmen are also unwilling to spend money to hire such outdated anchors, and their income will definitely not be as good as before.

But as long as you sign this contract, you can get a pretty good salary every month for 5 years, which is pretty good for some anchors.

[Every contract has this non-competition agreement behind it, because you should also know that a 10% concession here is a lot, so of course it will also require its anchors to make certain commitments, all platforms in the industry Everyone has this requirement, not only our kitty platform has it. 】

Xuanwu quickly explained,

[Then I would like to ask, can the duration of the contract and non-compete agreement be shortened a bit? Because 5 years seems too long, is it possible to sign a one-year agreement? 】

a year? ? ?
Hearing Li Xiao's request, Xuanwu gasped and almost bit his own tongue. Other anchors talk about it year after year, and you've cut it down to a year.

This is not easy to handle, the other party's requirements are a bit too high, if only one year's contract and one year's non-competition agreement are signed, it is almost equivalent to not signing.

Although no one will remember this anchor after one year, but one year is too short, if the anchor becomes popular on other platforms one year after his contract expires, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to his old club?

But considering Li Xiao's current popularity, popularity and rising potential, he couldn't refuse him directly.

After all, the other party's popularity is very strong now, and it has been ranked first in the food area's popularity list twice in a short period of time, even more famous than many popular little fresh meats.

It is not too difficult to become a popular anchor in the gourmet area of ​​the kitten platform in time. After all, no matter the quality of the live broadcast or the anchor's own conditions, it has beaten other gourmet anchors.

He has watched Li Xiao's videos a few times, and they are really good. Although he can't see anything particularly good, once he opens it, it's very good, and he doesn't want to turn it off casually.

This actually proves how good Li Xiao's live broadcast quality is. After all, as a person who often watches live broadcasts and sees vomiting, it is unimaginable to be fascinated by watching an anchor's live broadcast.

He even deliberately made a comparison. Many of the star chefs who live broadcast on the kitten platform can't match Li Xiao's cooking level. Of course, this is from his layman's point of view. As for the real He can't be sure about the situation, but he doesn't need to be sure, as long as the audience thinks his cooking skills are very good.

He is not willing to be such a cash cow, and only signs a one-year contract with the platform, and it is even more impossible to sign a non-compete agreement for only one year.

One must know that Li Xiao had the return record of going from tens of thousands of fans to number one in the popularity list in just two months. This was achieved single-handedly without the support of the big capital guild.

If the other party leaves Kitty Live, takes a year off and then goes to another platform, as long as there is support from the Grand Guild, as long as there is sufficient financial support, it will not be too difficult to become popular again within a few months.

What I absolutely dare not accept is the term of the contract. It can be shortened a little bit. After all, this horrible development has been offset. I am afraid that a new sharing agreement will be signed every two months.

【It’s like this. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience caused to Mr. Li Xiao. If Mr. Li Xiao makes a strong request, I can apply for a one-year contract with the leader above. 】

Li Xiao smiled when he heard that the other party could apply for a one-year contract for him, but he frowned immediately when he didn't hear the other party's follow-up.

Good guy, are you playing word games on yourself?Only talk about the contract but not the non-compete agreement behind?

Without hesitation, he asked directly.
[Can the competition agreement be changed to one year? 】

The corner of Xuanwu's mouth couldn't help twitching this question, brother, we didn't mention it on purpose, we just can't say it so clearly, it hurts feelings very much.

But Li Xiao has already asked, and he has no choice but to answer directly. It is absolutely impossible to happen in a year. Even if he agrees to it, the higher-ups will definitely not sign it.

And if I agree to the other party, I guess my job will be gone.

If the other anchors knew that the non-compete agreement of some anchors was only one year, wouldn't they all be blown away?
[I'm very sorry about the non-compete agreement. There has never been a non-compete agreement with such a short period of time on the kitten live platform. 】

He said this very euphemistically. He neither said it can't, nor said it can't. He just said that there was no precedent for this before, but people with a discerning eye can understand what it means. This condition is too outrageous. , Let Li Xiao think about other conditions.

Although Li Xiao has no discernment, he is also a discerning person.

He immediately understood that the other party told him euphemistically that the kitten live broadcast platform had never had such a precedent, and he was not the one who could break the precedent.

Then Li Xiao had nothing to say, and he didn't want to embarrass the other party's messenger.

[Then I may not be able to sign this contract, so let's follow the previous share ratio. 】

Although the [-]-[-] share is [-]% less than this new contract, the money you get must be much less, but the previous contract regulations are indeed more free and comfortable, and the platform does not impose too much restraint on itself .

He also thought about it clearly, how much money he would get for doing so many things, if he didn't want to bear the shackles, but also wanted to get more money, that would definitely be impossible.

After all, the other party also needs to take certain risks to promote themselves. Is it impossible to make a anchor popular and let him change jobs at will to make wedding dresses for others?Li Xiao can't even do this kind of thing, let alone a big group.

That being the case, choose a contract that takes less money but is more free.

!!!

Seeing Li Xiao's reply, Xuanwu was so frightened that he almost jumped up on his chair. What was going on, why did the conversation collapse after a disagreement? ? ?

Hey, hey, no one talks about things like you do, right?

Don't you come and talk about terms in such things as negotiations?
If you think 5 years is too much, I will reduce it to 4 years. Do you think 4 years is still too long? If you want three years, we will grind it back and forth slowly, and then talk about a number of years that everyone is satisfied with?

Why did this disagreement just end? ? ?
What kind of negotiation skills?Go to other people's stores to buy clothes, and you can cut 1000 yuan of clothes directly at the fracture, and you can cut it to 100 yuan.

The boss only said one thing, beauty, our purchases are more than 100 yuan.

The boss means to ask you to add more, not to say that you can’t sell it, good guy, if you can’t negotiate this 100 yuan, you just turn around and leave. You don’t even want to talk about it. What kind of fairy bargaining is this?
Xuanwu was frightened by Li Xiao, so he quickly stated his bottom line. If it was really because of his work mistakes that the rookie in the food area left Kitten Live and went to another platform, then he would be doomed up.

Xuanwu knew about Li Xiao's current contract, but there was no contract period and no so-called non-compete agreement. He said that if he wanted to leave, he would leave, and if he wanted to stay, he would stay. There was no way for Kitten Live to control it.

[Wait a minute, some talk, some talk, don't worry, calm down, at least we have signed a non-compete agreement for two and a half years here, I know what Mr. Li Xiao thinks about two and a half years?This is the treatment of a big anchor with more than 1 million fans. If you agree to a two-and-a-half-year non-competition agreement, I will immediately go to the leader to help you argue and continue. Today I am staying in the supervisor's office , and help you negotiate the past two and a half years. 】

The anchor that Xuanwu said had more than [-] million fans actually had a relationship with Li Xiao once, and that was Xiaomaojiang who was still in college.

Two and a half years?Li Xiao only hesitated for a few seconds, but still shook his head, two and a half years is still too long.

[Since this is the case, don't bother, I will continue to divide according to the previous contract, and I will disturb you to rest, goodbye. 】

Hearing this sentence, Xuanwu gasped again. He inserted 10 fingers into his hair, and a few hairs fell out again. Do you want to go in single-handedly as a dark horse?
Hey hey hey, goodbye! ! !

Brother, you think two and a half years is not enough, but you can say a number?

Is the relationship asking me to keep the price down for myself?

[Wait a minute, Mr. Li Xiao, wait a moment, how about this, you tell me the number of years you want in your mind, and I will see if there is a way to fight for it with you? 】

[The contract period and non-competition agreement are both one year, is this okay?In fact, I have no other ideas, but I feel that the non-compete agreement is too long, and I feel too unfree. 】

a year? ? ?
What the hell is a year? ? ?

Do you really want to sign once a year? ? ?

Even if the contract can be signed once a year, but you still need a one-year period for the non-compete agreement? ?
How is this possible? If it is really a year, the leaders above may really want to kill themselves.

[Mr. Li Xiao, don't be joking. The number of years is really difficult. Not to mention the leaders above, even I can't apply for you. 】

After hesitating for a while, Xuanwu continued typing and asked
[Has Mr. Li Xiao already contacted other live streaming platforms?Or did Mr. Li Xiao already have other career plans?Of course, this is purely my personal curiosity, and Mr. Li Xiao doesn't need to answer if it is inconvenient. 】

[Not really, the main reason is that I have more funds in my hands now. There is actually not much difference between [-]% and [-]% for me. After clearing it, I will feel very unfree, so I might as well Don't sign it directly, and keep the original [-]-[-]%】

???

not free?Brother, do you know how much you can get in exchange for not being free?
If people outside can find a way, they will cry and beg for everything, and the kitten will live broadcast it to them. This kind of unfreedom, the share of the extra steps, just the basic salary of 2 yuan per month will make many people Got a head start.

He did a rough calculation before. If Li Xiao had signed the June Fourth share instead of the Fifth Five-Year share last time, the extra money in his hands would be about 98 more, close to 100 million. Spread out evenly, the monthly increase is close to 50.

Brother, your freedom is really valuable.

Xuanwu scratched his hair again, and accidentally tore off a few more. He wanted to cry, but now it was important to sign the contract, and his hair was still available. He was about to continue enlightening, but found Li Xiao Over there unexpectedly already unknowingly.
