Wang Yongbo was holding Bi Fang’s hand tightly, with deep affection in his gaze.
If the two of them didn’t look completely different, Bi Fang might have suspected that this was his long-lost biological father.
Are you sure you’re here to recruit talent and not to recognize your kin?
Bi Fang’s initial impression of Wolf Fang TV was completely overturned. Had they not missed the opportunity, but were here casting a big spell instead?
Though the big move was powerful, Bi Fang wasn’t fresh to society; he wouldn’t be immediately crippled.
Half a year’s worth of tender venison is tasty but doesn’t hold a candle to solid gold and silver, right?
“I’m truly flattered by CEO Wang’s fondness. You must have waited for a long time, please, come in!”
Bi Fang was stunned for a moment but then quickly reacted, opened the door, invited Wang Yongbo into the apartment, and offered him the only chair.
Wang Yongbo looked around the rental apartment with a bit of surprise in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.
Then Bi Fang found a glass, poured a cup of water for Wang Yongbo, and said with some apology, “I really didn’t expect to have President Wang come all this way. I have nothing to offer here and hope you don’t mind.”
Wang Yongbo appeared very honest as he took the cup of water and waved his hand, “It’s nothing. A talent like Mr. Bi deserves our respect; this treatment is only what you should expect.”
As he spoke, Wang Yongbo took a sip from the cup, adding rather regretfully, “About the unfair treatment you received at Shark TV, we have heard of it too. We originally wanted to invite you earlier, but after careful consideration, we feared that our limited capabilities at Wolf Fang might affect your future, so we didn’t make a move. It wasn’t until we didn’t hear about you signing with anyone for such a long time that we gathered our courage to invite you.”
Bi Fang nodded as he sat on the bed. Now he understood why so many platforms had approached him, except for Wolf Fang.
It wasn’t a lack of information but self-awareness.
Now in the streaming business, any broadcaster with ambition aims for Shark, even if the terms are a bit less favorable, just to be there. As a result, Wolf Fang, already at a disadvantage, is doing worse and worse, now with traffic nearly a third of Shark TV’s!
But don’t underestimate this one third. If converted into specific numbers, that’s tens of millions of viewers!
Seeing Bi Fang lost in thought, Wang Yongbo couldn’t help but worry, “You haven’t already…?”
“No, I haven’t.” Bi Fang came back to his senses and told the truth.
“That’s a relief!” At this moment, Wang Yongbo didn’t resemble a savvy business elite but rather a street vendor who burst out laughing and slapped his thigh, saying directly, “Then, Mr. Bi, could you consider joining Wolf Fang? I admit, our traffic isn’t as big as Tiger Fang or Shark, but our sincerity is definitely greater than theirs!”
Bi Fang knew the main event was finally here and listened carefully.
“Because our contract terms are based on the number of your broadcasts!”
“Cough, cough.”
At this point, Bi Fang choked on his water, grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth, and looked at Wang Yongbo with skepticism, “Based on the number of broadcasts?”
“Absolutely!” Wang Yongbo seemed to anticipate Bi Fang’s surprise and stated bluntly, “Our executives specifically decided this, considering your broadcasting style, it’s impossible for you to do high-intensity streaming. Hence, we decided to improve your terms based on the number of broadcasts— once your traffic hits a certain level, our contract upgrades to match it! We won’t let you suffer a loss!”
Bi Fang was astonished by Wolf Fang’s boldness; a contract based on the number of broadcasts was something he had never even heard of.
The sincerity was extremely high. After pondering for a moment, Bi Fang probed, “What about resources?”
“Not to mention other resources, you’ll have the right to decide on three major promotional campaigns! Whenever you want it, it’s yours. Even if it means cutting a recommended slot from another broadcaster during their promotional cycle, I’ll do it for you!”
“Image rights…”
“All yours, take any endorsements or advertisements you like! If we intervene even once, you can terminate our cooperation unilaterally!”
“Salary…”
“An annual salary of ten million, only going up, never down, and we can pay a quarter in advance! Regarding gifts, split 30/70—30 for us! If you become a top broadcaster, it’ll be 20/80; and if you become the number one on Wolf Fang, then 10/90! If you become the top in the streaming world, we won’t even take a share!”
“Sss!”
Bi Fang took a sharp breath, stunned by Wang Yongbo’s terms.
It wasn’t just half a year’s worth of venison—he was being offered Red Hare and even the legendary beauty Diao Chan!
After pondering for a while and finding no reason to refuse, Bi Fang still had one question that he couldn’t hold back, “CEO Wang, with such terms, do you trust me that much?”
Wang Yongbo, however, burst into laughter, “So what? Even though our Wolf Fang is on the decline, we can still afford this loss. How much worse can it get? Since we’ve been losing for so long, we don’t care about one more loss!”
After he finished laughing, his expression became serious again, “Mr. Bi, don’t think we’re fools. In fact, I’ve been paying attention to you for a while. I’ve watched your videos on B Island at least three times and learned about the difficulty of being a Wilderness Survivalist. I am very confident that you are truly capable, not someone who could achieve this by being pushed like Shark does.”
“Shark and Tiger Fang have massive enterprises; they don’t care about a single streamer like you, but we do. We’re lacking someone who can carry the banner of live streaming, so we’re willing to believe in you and pin our hopes on you. This is our sincerity. Please do consider joining Wolf Fang TV!”
Wang Yongbo once again grabbed Bi Fang’s hand, his eyes full of sincerity.
This time, Bi Fang didn’t try to pull away, he fell silent.
Wang Yongbo wasn’t the least bit impatient either, quietly waiting, or rather, anticipating, the answer he desired.
Bi Fang had to admit, he was tempted; everyone hopes to achieve outstanding results in challenging endeavors and to surpass others.
This was a need for self-fulfillment.
Wang Yongbo’s offer was undoubtedly the greatest recognition for him.
Bi Fang liked adventure and sharing it with others; perhaps this was the fundamental reason why the System had chosen him. And now, Wang Yongbo was undoubtedly offering him an excellent opportunity.
While Wolf Fang TV’s traffic couldn’t compare to Shark’s, it was definitely much better than the other platforms, and compared to Shark’s offer, which was a joke, it was not just better but ancestral treatment!
A full ten minutes passed, the two men just holding hands like this, one gazing into the eyes of the other with deep feeling.
Ultimately, it was Bi Fang who couldn’t stand it anymore; the offer was too generous, he couldn’t refuse. He gripped back firmly and smiled, “Then I will definitely try my best and not disappoint Wolf Fang TV!”
Wang Yongbo’s face lit up with surprise, “Mr. Bi, you’ve made a wise choice. I assure you here and now, Wolf Fang TV will never let you down!”
Afterwards, Wang Yongbo immediately pulled Bi Fang to print out the contract as if he was afraid Bi Fang might run away.
After confirming there was nothing wrong with the contract, Bi Fang didn’t hesitate, signed his name, and handed it directly to Wang Yongbo, who carefully smoothed out the corners of the contract and then stuffed it into his briefcase, satisfied.
With the live streaming platform issue resolved, Bi Fang breathed a sigh of relief and shared the news in the fan group. Many people said they would definitely go to support him on Wolf Fang, and some even said they had uninstalled Shark and from now on were lifelong fans of Wolf Fang.
In the following days, Bi Fang finally returned to a normal life trajectory. Before the next task arrived, he managed to increase his strength by a point.
This was a pleasing progress, for in terms of total value, he was now at a normal level. His next live stream would certainly not be as difficult as the last one.
It was on this day that the long-missed voice of the System finally rang out again.
[Ding! New task activated. You can check it in the task bar.]
Twelve days.
It had been twelve days since the last task until this one.
Bi Fang silently took note of this time. If the third task also had the same interval, then he could determine the cycle of the System’s task releases.
He opened the task bar.
