Chapter 737: Monthly salary of 150,000, this work location isn't abroad, is it!

In this parallel world, there isn't much emphasis placed on short videos. Lin Yu spent the evening scouring through film and television dramas from the past few years and discovered that light comedies or humorous sketches were surprisingly few and far between.

In his previous life,

those were the spiritual food for a generation of people while eating and binge-watching. Unexpectedly, this massive cake had been left behind by the wheels of time.

This also meant that he was about to pick up a bargain!

The biggest difference between a studio and a media company is resource influence.

Therefore, winning the first battle is of vital importance!

The next day,

Lin Yu wasted no time and rushed to the downstairs of the Sohu Building in Zhongguancun, Haidian District.

"Mr. Lin, over here."

Dong Chengpeng was wearing an old leather jacket, with a slightly yellowed shirt visible underneath, looking completely out of place in the coffee shop.

He pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and greeted him in a low voice.

"Director Dong."

Lin Yu hadn't expected that as the originator of short videos, Da Peng would be living so miserably.

Just one glance was enough to see the restraint and humility in his eyes; an aura of insecurity enveloped his entire body!

"Heh heh."

Dong Chengpeng gave an awkward smile and nodded repeatedly, which counted as his response.

"Director Dong, I won't beat around the bush. Let's keep this brief!"

"I'm looking to establish a media company recently, and for the projects in the next half-year, I want to focus primarily on short film and television dramas."

"So, I'd like to see if you have time so we can discuss the terms of cooperation together."

Lin Yu said with utmost sincerity.

In the eyes of others, Dong Peng might not even be worth a fart.

But Lin Yu knew that this guy was definitely talented; when it came to controlling the flow of traffic, he could be considered a big-name figure.

Last night, Lin Yu had specifically searched for some short films that Da Peng had shot himself; the content, pacing, storyboarding, and editing were all very mature.

Everything was ready, all that was missing was an opportunity.

But in the domestic entertainment industry, some people might never wait for this opportunity in their entire lives.

One of the biggest lies in this world is that gold will always shine; in reality, a piece of dirty rag can keep it hidden from the light of day.

"Me?"

"Mr. Lin, you think too highly of me."

Although Dong Chengpeng looked quite dull,

this was merely a protective color for a smart person.

The eyes behind his frames were darting around; he was extremely cunning at heart.

"Brother Da Peng, I've watched all the videos you edited online, and I feel your ability to catch hot topics is quite good."

"I believe we will definitely be able to spark some cooperation."

"Of course, if you're not interested, I won't disturb you any further."

Lin Yu instantly saw through Da Peng's thoughts and directly employed a tactic of retreating to advance, rising to leave the table.

In this kind of situation, whoever lowers their posture first loses.

"Wait."

"Mr. Lin, I've seen that you've always been a variety show personality; what made you think of becoming a boss?"

"You can also see that I'm still employed at Sohu Media; leaving just like that isn't very good, is it!"

Da Peng was actually asking about the salary and benefits in a roundabout way. Although he was a host for a program at Sohu, Da Peng's life was not satisfactory; he was squeezed out and looked down upon in the company, and his salary could only maintain his livelihood!

In a place like Yanjing where every inch of land is worth gold, he was almost unable to survive.

"150,000."

Lin Yu gave a wry smile and said straightforwardly.

He could understand Da Peng's concerns;

coming to discuss cooperation out of the blue—there's no such thing as a free lunch falling from the sky.

"150,000!"

"Uh... okay, I'll do it."

Da Peng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

The annual salary Sohu was giving him now was 100,000, and the main issue was that the interpersonal relationships were too difficult to handle. Plus, the room for promotion was almost zero. As he grew older, if he didn't earn some money, he was afraid he'd have to go back to his hometown to farm!

"Brother Da Peng, let's get this straight first: my requirement is that the starting contract is for five years."

Lin Yu took out the contract he had prepared in advance and said solemnly.

In his previous life, he had seen too many contract disputes. If Da Peng became a hit, given his talent, he would definitely have thoughts of jumping ship to work alone; Lin Yu could fully understand that.

But he couldn't leave in the first five years; if he did, the company's foundation would inevitably collapse, and the momentum would fall apart directly!

To avoid this situation,

the contract explicitly stipulated compensation clauses and various commercial law provisions.

"That's fine."

"I can accept that."

Da Peng was actually hoping for the contract to be as long as possible; at least he would have an iron rice bowl for these few years. With Lin Yu being an internet celebrity worth nearly a hundred million, he surely wouldn't short him of these hundred-odd thousand.

"Holy crap!"

"Monthly salary of 150,000!"

After Da Peng saw the details of the benefits, he was so shocked that his glasses fell off.

As if struck by lightning, he stood frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.

An annual salary of 150,000 had already exceeded his expectations,

but this monthly salary of 150,000—what the hell is this situation?

"Mr. Lin, our work location isn't abroad, is it?"

Da Peng was so scared he put down the contract in his hand. At this moment, this A4 paper worth a million a year felt like a scorching hot potato that could cost him his life; he simply couldn't handle it!

"Hahaha."

"If you have that requirement, I can satisfy it too."

"Brother Da Peng, this 150,000 is just the beginning; I guarantee that your salary and benefits in the future will only go higher, never lower!"

Lin Yu was telling the truth here;

once the short dramas blew up, trying to buy out Dong Chengpeng with a mere 150,000 would be nothing but a pipe dream!

【Ding-dong】

【150,000 has been credited to your bank card】

【Current balance: 155,000 yuan】

After signing the contract,

Lin Yu didn't say a word and transferred the money directly.

Looking at Da Peng's state, he probably couldn't even afford to live anymore, so he immediately prepaid that month's salary to let him improve his living conditions.
