Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 264

So Li Xiao only needs to light the flame at the bottom, and when he finishes cooking the two dishes, he can get a very hot bonfire.

The scorching bonfire warmed up the winter night, which was originally only in the early 10s, so Li Xiao was not too worried about the rapid cooling of the fat beef rolls because the temperature was too low.

And this feeling of suddenly having a warm place to rely on in the cold is really comfortable.

The contact between the fat cow and the tongue was crisp, because Li Xiao turned off the fire a little later.

As a result, the fat beef has a strong burnt aroma. Originally, he wanted to create a combination of crispy and tender, but now he finds that the burnt beef and enoki mushrooms full of fat and gravy are such a perfect match. .

Because Li Xiao put a lot of sugar in the ingredients, the taste of this teriyaki beef roll with enoki mushroom is sweet.

The inosinic acid in the fat of snowflake beef is sweet, the enoki mushroom itself is sweet, and the final sauce is also sweet.

The three kinds of sweetness are mixed quite well, but because the heat is really over a little bit, it does taste a bit strong.

Fortunately, the fat beef and enoki mushrooms are not seasoned in advance, and it is quite good with the fresh Mojit, and the sauce is very strong.

While drinking a small wine and eating meat, Li Xiao chatted with the audience in the live broadcast room. After eating the fat beef and lamb chops, Li Xiao realized that the time had unexpectedly reached 11 o'clock.

Looking at the audience in the live broadcast room, he didn't know when he had reached the 30 mark. He had a sigh on his face. It seemed that his recent popularity was indeed very high.

It’s just that he casually chatted with the audience, and there are so many rewards and so many viewers watching, so he can’t help but wonder if the live broadcast of other anchors is really so boring, otherwise, how could there be 30 How many people are here to watch yourself and chat with the barrage?
If other anchors know his idea, they will be pissed off. If they know his address, it may trigger many real-life PKs. After all, his statement is really shameless.

After extinguishing the burning bonfire and clearing away the tableware, Li Xiao said goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room.

After taking a look at today's tips, after most of the day, I actually received two 10,000+ tips, which is after deducting 50% of the platform's share.

He frowned slightly and thought about it. It seemed that no one sent many rockets in the live broadcast just now.

There were only two rockets in his memory, so he was asked to sing a song.

Of course, this request was resolutely rejected by Li Xiao, and asking him to sing was a bit outrageous.

I am just an ordinary food anchor, not those singing anchors.

Besides, Li Xiao himself has been tone deaf since he was a child. He is afraid that once he sings, at least half of his 30 online viewers will go away. He is not willing to do such a thing that digs his own grave.

After the live broadcast was turned off, Li Xiao was about to wash up and pick up her mother from the town tomorrow, but the phone suddenly rang.

He was a little strange, logically speaking, no one should call him at this time, after all, it was late.

He took out his cell phone and glanced at it, then frowned, a missed call from the capital.

He hesitated for a moment, but hung up directly, because he was thinking about his work mobile phone, and he thought that some restaurant found out the number of his previous work mobile phone, so he called him to invite work, or it was just something Weird sales pitch.

Then, less than a second after the call was hung up, the phone rang again, and it was the same call just now, Li Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Are telemarketers working so hard now?Normally, doesn't it mean that you refuse to hang up?
Although I haven't heard the sales content of the other party, but my meaning should be very obvious.

Since the other party was so patient, Li Xiao still decided to hang up on him. After all, the other party's patience and his own patience are two different things.

Thinking about hanging up again, the other party should have exhausted their little patience.

After all, a telemarketer needs to make hundreds of calls a day, and he thinks it is impossible for the other party to waste so much time on himself.

However, just as Li Xiao was about to put the phone back into his trouser pocket, the phone rang again.

Good guy, it's time to catch up with Sangu Thatched Cottage. Since you are so sincere and still working at 11 o'clock in the evening, just listen to what the other party wants to sell.

When the phone was connected, he heard a somewhat familiar voice from the opposite side, it was actually Xuanwu from Kitten's live broadcast.

Seeing Li Xiao finally picked up the phone, Xuanwu on the opposite side heaved a long sigh of relief, and Li Xiao could hear the helplessness of the other party through the receiver:

"It's me, I'm Xuanwu, don't hang up the phone, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest at such a late hour, I just saw you downloading the broadcast, so I came to you."

He was a little curious why the other party didn't call him from work, but he immediately realized that he was already 26 years old, and most companies should have started to take turns or even go on vacation.

However, for a company as big as Kitten Live, there may still be some employees who will stay behind.

Some people like Xuanwu who don’t need to stay behind are expected to be on duty 24 hours a day and accept tasks at any time. After all, there are too many emergencies on the live broadcast platform.

Knowing that the other party was not a salesperson, Li Xiao's tone became more polite. After all, he was the customer service staff who was connecting with him. He asked:
"It turned out to be Xuanwu Da Da. I thought it was a promotional advertisement. I'm really embarrassed."

Xuanwu on the other side, although he could hear Li Xiao's tone was really apologetic, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help twitching. He suspected that Li Xiao was insinuating that he was a salesman, but now he had to ask for help, so he couldn't help it. Don't bow your head.

After all, the higher-ups had issued an ultimatum that Li Xiao must be signed years ago.

After all, Li Xiao's popularity is rising day by day, and the situation seems to be getting out of hand.

In the past two days, it has been ranked first in the popularity list. However, what makes Kitten Live very worried is that Li Xiao has not yet signed a new contract with the platform under such circumstances.

Although Li Xiao said before that the reason for not signing the contract is that he likes freedom, but this reason is too ridiculous for them. They don't understand what reason can be worth hundreds of millions?

After all, Li Xiao's contract share is 100-10 now, and after the change, it will be [-]-[-], and every [-] million tips can add [-] yuan. How could someone refuse such a business?
In their eyes, the only possibility is that Li Xiao has actually already contacted Xiajia, but he is still stabilizing his popularity or is negotiating terms with Xiajia.

After all, with Li Xiao's current popularity growth, as long as it stabilizes for a period of time, it is still very easy to break through the [-] million mark.

After all, in just a few days, his number of fans has exceeded 350 million, and he is approaching 400 million with hundreds of thousands of fans every day.

At this rate, his fans will exceed 1 million in less than two months.

At that time, Li Xiao became a first-line anchor properly. After all, he has tens of millions of real fans, which is much better than those Internet celebrity anchors who show tens of millions, but in fact only have a few million real fans.

After all, as the official backstage, it is too easy for them to know which anchor has swiped the data.

Li Xiao's real popularity is real. He didn't even have the support of the guild, so he just killed him out of nowhere.

It has a bit of the demeanor of the kitten sauce back then. You must know that the reason why the kitten sauce became popular so quickly was because of the baby-faced and big-breasted figure of the kitten sauce and the fact that it has accumulated a lot of popularity in the dance area.

Moreover, female anchors have more advantages than male anchors. Compared with the two, Li Xiao's climbing speed is even faster.

After all, Li Xiao's live broadcast room does not have the support of those local tyrants with more complex ideas. Such popularity is basically achieved by relying on real strength.

Moreover, Kitty Sauce's popularity has also declined sharply recently. The main reason is of course that those big brothers who have been chasing him all the way have invested for a long time, but have not seen any results, so they all retreated.

After all, other people's investment needs to be rewarded, but Xiaomaojiang's side is like a bottomless pit. Apart from chatting with big brothers, there is no other service at all.

This makes those big brothers very uncomfortable. They have a dozen rockets, and a dozen rockets brush, of course, not just to listen to you sing and dance or call you big brother twice.

So over time, the reputation of Xiaomao began to spread in the circle of big brothers, so fewer and fewer big brothers began to reward Xiaomaojiang, so Xiaomaojiang's recent popularity began to fall off a cliff.

Although the live broadcast room can still maintain tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of viewers, the popularity list has long since disappeared, and the top 10 position has long been lost.

However, Xuanwu is also used to this kind of thing. After all, people are not happy every day, and flowers are not popular every day, and it is more normal for things to happen in a place like the live broadcast industry that is changing with each passing day.

But Li Xiao is completely different. He got the position by himself, without any reward from his elder brother. This is why Li Xiao only has 300 million fans, and Kitty Live is anxious to change the contract.

You must know that Kitten Sauce had more than 1000 million fans at the beginning, and there were only more than 20 online viewers in the live broadcast room.

Moreover, Li Xiao only has more than 300 million fans, and he has achieved this level. It can be seen that the fan loyalty of his account is very strong, and the proportion of real active fans is very high.

Xuanwu took a deep breath, and said straight to the point:

"It's like this, the matter is indeed a bit urgent, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for Mr. Li Xiao at this point in time."

Hearing the tone on the other side became serious, Li Xiao also stopped what he was doing, sat down on the chair, and asked with a frown.

"I don't know what is it that made Xuanwu look for me so late?"

"It's like this. The leader above asked again today. If Mr. Li Xiao doesn't sign a new contract as soon as possible, the above will consider terminating the old contract with Mr. Li Xiao, so I hope Mr. Li Xiao will not let me Difficult to do."

???

!!!

Li Xiao felt a little baffled, why should he terminate his contract? ? ?
However, in a blink of his mind, he understood why the other party did this, because he was afraid that he would grow too fast, and without a new contract to restrict him, he would probably leave with huge traffic.

He had seen such a situation before, but the anchor switched jobs after signing the contract.

However, the platform of the job-hopping party paid a huge liquidated damages for this, so the anchor did not need to bear any legal responsibility and could continue to broadcast live on the new platform.

And this anchor with tens of millions of fans has indeed brought a lot of traffic to the new club.

Let this new live broadcast platform change from a small and unknown platform to a professional platform dedicated to e-sports game live broadcast.

Therefore, it seems understandable for the other party to be on guard against themselves. After all, the platform is the capital side that has a greater say than the anchor.

But isn't it a little too much to threaten to take back one's own contract?
You must know that the contract you signed before does not have any restrictions on the anchor, but also does not have any requirements on the platform.

Once the old contract is withdrawn, then Li Xiao's reward share in the future will become 4% or [-]%, but Li Xiao will get [-]% and the platform will get [-]%.

This will result in a difference of [-]% of the share, which is probably unacceptable to anyone.

But when Li Xiao remembered the various restrictions and requirements in the new contract, he frowned.

He fell into silence, thinking whether to make concessions for the [-]% share or stick to the principle and let the contract return to its original form?

In fact, he was very hesitant. After all, a reward of 100 million would be 20 less.

20 is not a small amount. It can buy a pretty good car, and even pay a down payment for a commercial house with a low price.

But when he thought of the 100 million he got by clocking in yesterday, Li Xiao instantly gained confidence.

He spoke softly, with a firm tone:

"Since the higher-ups have notified you, I don't want to make it difficult for you here."

Hearing the first half of Li Xiao's words, Xuanwu was ecstatic. He didn't even think that he would take a surprise operation on a whim at night and directly take down this seemingly difficult bone. It seems that he can live a good life this year. It's been a good year.

However, the second half of Li Xiao's sentence made his heart feel cold.
"Since it's not easy for you to do, then just change back to the old contract, my four, your platform six."

"If there is nothing else, I may have to hang up first, after all, it's a bit late."

After waiting for a few seconds, he didn't hear any response from the other party. Li Xiao couldn't help shaking his head. He was so talkative before, but now he has become so indifferent because he doesn't want to sign a new contract. It's really realistic.

He tapped the red end button lightly and tucked the phone back into his pocket.

Then he walked towards his bedroom as if nothing happened, like this thing that affected 20% of his income was an insignificant thing.

On the other side, when Xuanwu heard the beeping sound from the phone earphone, he realized that Li Xiao on the opposite side actually hung up the phone directly.

Then he came back to his senses, I'll go, what did he say?
He actually agreed to redo the contract into a [-]-[-] split. What kind of fairy operation is this?
Xuanwu has been in the industry for seven or eight years, but he has never met such a person, and the opponent's set of old punches directly fooled him.

He was still thinking about the other party, and he might make various requests, such as re-discussing the contract period and the time for the non-compete agreement after the contract is terminated.

For this reason, he has discussed with his leaders for a long time, and finally changed the five-year contract period and non-employment agreement time into two years.

The time that Xuanwu wanted to come to this kind of time was short enough, after all, it was only two years, and he obediently broadcasted here for two years, and he could let him live broadcast on other platforms at will.

This condition is already quite generous in his mind. If his data is not enough to explode, it is impossible to apply for such a condition.

However, this time Li Xiao didn't talk to him about anything at all, and he agreed directly, but what he agreed to was not a new contract, but a C-level contract, which was a [-]-[-] split contract. , platform six.

At first glance, this contract seems to be more beneficial to the platform, after all, the platform gets more money.

But this kind of contract has no binding force on the anchor, and the anchor can change jobs if they want to, and the platform has nothing to do with it.

Such a top streamer is assigned a contract with an [-]th-line anchor, but such a contract has no binding force on the anchor. If the anchor wants to change jobs, he will hop, and the platform has nothing to do with it.

Now I'm doomed, with such a top streamer in my hands, it's a question of whether I can keep my job.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly wanted to call Li Xiao again to have a detailed conversation with the other party, but found that the other party's phone had been turned off.

Obviously, the other party didn't think the conditions were inappropriate, but just didn't want to talk about it.

Of course, this is Xuanwu's misunderstanding. In fact, the shutdown is because Li Xiao's work phone has run out of power, so it automatically shuts down.

If Xuanwu could propose a one-year contract and a one-year non-compete agreement after breaching the contract, then he would be very happy to sign it.

And today Li Xiao also discovered that another benefit of live broadcasting is not only that it can earn a lot of money.

There is also a large group of lovely audiences to accompany me. When I make the audience happy during the live broadcast, the audience is actually accompanying me. This is a mutual behavior.

After washing up, while chatting with Jiang Yingxue, I checked the live broadcast of other anchors.

He was surprised to find that most of the anchors seem to have extended the live broadcast time recently, but this didn't surprise him too much.

After all, it is also time to prepare for the Chinese New Year, and both the anchor and the audience have more time.

The audience has more time to watch the live broadcast, so the corresponding anchor will definitely spend more time taking care of his audience, and the extension of time becomes a matter of course.

It's just that he didn't know that the fundamental reason why everyone's time began to gradually extend was the involution initiated by him, the instigator.

If it weren't for his daily live broadcast for so long, others would not take the initiative to increase the live broadcast time.

After all, you can make money while lying down, and no one has to work hard to make money.
