I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Qin Xian's expression at this moment was indeed full of surprise.

The main reason was that he had thought before that Penguin and Tudou Video were likely to agree to the profit-sharing model.

But he feels that the profit sharing ratio given by the two platforms is most likely 50-50, or a little higher, and he feels that 64 is already quite high.

Who knew that the two platforms directly gave a 70:30 ratio.

Are these two families not planning to marry each other anymore?
With a 70% share, if the show is average, or even a complete flop, it will almost be a loss.

Although Feng Ge's situation is special, the risk is indeed too high considering the share ratio given.

What's more, what he just said was that no matter how high the ratio given by the other two companies was, their kiwifruit would be 10% higher.

When Qin Xian heard that he was going to give an 80:20 split, he began to hesitate and feel conflicted.

……

"Boss Qin, does what you just said still count?"

Yan Rui's expression was a little awkward at this moment, mainly because he did not expect that Qin Xian would offer such conditions right away.

And it is obvious that he does not understand the current situation.

Without even knowing the current basic market price, they dared to offer conditions that were 10% higher than other platforms.

Even Xu Kong at this moment didn't take the other party's words seriously.

Mainly because of the 8:2 ratio, even he himself feels that it is a bit too dark.

Tudou Video, which has always been quite generous in the past, can only offer 73% at most this time, right?

Because if you only take 20%, if the drama doesn't become a hit, it is very likely that even the basic operating and publicity costs cannot be recovered.

……

"Of course it counts!"

What surprised the three of them, including Xu Kong, was that Qin Xian hesitated for a moment and then nodded decisively again.

"We at Kiwifruit are really here with the sincerity of wanting to cooperate this time!"

Qin Xian knew very well that in this new drama of Feng Ge, Xu Kong was only the screenwriter and producer, and he was neither the director nor the male lead.

It can be said that the risk is still quite large.

The possibility of losing money is quite high, even if it really becomes a hit.

The rate of return brought is still not considerable.

But he still agreed.

There was no way. Qin Xian himself knew that when he took the initiative to come to Fengge this time and bowed his head to apologize to Xu Kong, they, Kiwi, had to get Fengge's new drama.

Otherwise, everything before will be in vain.

And this opportunity to reconcile with Xu Kong was wasted.

It can be said that even if this drama causes them huge losses, they still need to get it.

This is the ticket for Fengge’s other new dramas in the future, as well as Xu Kong’s own dramas, to compete fairly with other platforms!
……

Xu Kong and Yan Rui both looked a little surprised.

The two of them really didn't expect that Qin Xian would actually agree to such a 28% profit sharing ratio.

To be honest, from the moment Tudou Video took the initiative to propose the profit-sharing model, it was all beyond Xu Kong's expectations.

Because there are almost no similar examples, either in the past or now.

The platform is generally the one that holds the initiative and is the stronger party.

It makes them look like shady businessmen.

No one from Xu Kong or Feng Ge had ever mentioned such a condition.

At first, I wanted to discuss it according to the normal copyright buyout model, and at most add a gambling agreement or something.

……

"Boss Qin, although I want to agree to your request directly, I still need to ask you clearly, can you really make the decision on this matter?"

Yan Rui spoke up to remind him.

After all, no matter how special Qin Xian's identity is, he is just one of the vice presidents of Kiwi.

The profit-sharing model is something that the platform is unlikely to accept.

What’s more, the ratio is as outrageous as 82.

"I……"

Qin Xian hesitated.

He can have a say in the budget for copyright fees, even for super large projects worth more than 500 million.

But this way of sharing revenue from advertising and paid memberships definitely sets a precedent.

Of course, he also knew that this matter had to be brought back for discussion among Kiwifruit's top management before a decision could be made.

Given his current relationship with those high-level officials, it is almost impossible for it to pass.

……

"I can decide!"

"We can sign the contract today!"

Qin Xian gritted his teeth and made the decision.

This must have something to do with the fact that he is the chairman’s younger brother.

Otherwise, if it were any other vice president of Kiwi, he would not be able to sign such a contract on his own.

Seeing this, Yan Rui couldn't help but look at Xu Kong.

Xu Kong also began to consider in his mind whether to agree or not.

The 80:20 split is indeed very tempting.

Moreover, he is considered to be someone who has seen the huge popularity of the drama "Squid Game" in its previous life, and the domestic share ratio is 80%.

The benefits brought are at least more than 500 million in net income.

In addition, what is more important is the number of Kiwi users and influence, which are actually not bad compared to Penguin.

If the other party really offers an 82 ratio, it is indeed the best option now.

It can be seen that Qin Xian is indeed quite sincere this time.

No longer that condescending look.

Instead, he was begging for a chance to work with Feng Ge.

……

"Boss Qin, since you have done this."

"If we don't agree, it will be unreasonable."

Xu Kong took over and said, then stood up, walked towards the other party, and extended his right hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

Qin Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Xu Kong still held a grudge.

Even if we ignore the 10% profit, we still refuse to cooperate with them.

Now, at least the grudge between him and Xu Kong has been completely wiped out after this handshake and the agreement to cooperate.

……

Xu Kong's personality has never changed.

If someone shows respect one foot, he will return it ten feet.

Qin Xian did make Xu Kong very angry at the time.

But the other party has already gone to this point, and it would be a bit too much to make things difficult for them further.

We still have to save face when we should.

Moreover, in terms of Kiwi's size and its current position in the domestic video platform.

It is definitely not a bad thing for Feng Ge to repair the relationship with the other party.

This means there will be more options in the future.

I guess when Penguin and Tudou Video heard the news, they would feel like the sky has fallen.

The two companies have made perfect preparations for the copyright of "Squid Game".

Even Tudou Video has announced the company's first "super S+ platform resource allocation".

But in the end, he was intercepted by Qin Xian who suddenly appeared.

It was indeed a bit unexpected.

More than ten minutes ago, Xu Kong and Yan Rui had almost finalized the cooperation with them.

Although it is mainly for the so-called checks and balances rather than any platform resource tilt.

……

"By the way, you didn't tell Mr. Tu anything in advance, did you?"

After everything was discussed and Qin Xian left, Xu Kong couldn't help but ask a question.

"Qin Xian came over before we even got in touch."

Yan Rui also felt a little relieved.

The main thing is that if Qin Xian had come one minute later, this time they might have really cooperated directly with Tudou Video.

Most likely, they sent the message to Tu Qiaoer. …

"What? Vice President Qin came to Beijing by himself and went to Fengge headquarters?"

"Have you finished talking?"

It was not until the next day, when all the relevant contracts were signed, that Xu Weijie, who came on behalf of Kiwi Fruit, learned of this outrageous news.

What is certain is that among the company employees who followed him this time, there are definitely Qin Xian’s people.

Otherwise, how could the other party know that he had broken up with Feng Ge and rush over so timely!

"I must seek justice!"

"Didn't we agree before that I would be responsible for all of Fengge's business?"

Xu Weijie felt quite angry.

But I soon realized something was wrong.

According to Fengge’s previous response, they don’t really care about the amount of copyright fees.

I just want to cooperate by profit sharing.

Doesn't that mean that Qin Xian agreed to Feng Ge's conditions for profit-sharing cooperation?

Although I don’t know the distribution ratio yet.

But Kiwi has never given up its two most critical business revenues: advertising and paid membership.

……

Thinking of this, Xu Weijie couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

Qin Xian is obviously making the decision this time.

This is a great opportunity!

I feel that if it goes smoothly, I can really defeat the opponent completely!
The anger he had felt before about Qin Xian seizing power had mostly disappeared, and he began to start making some subsequent plans and intentions.

If he could fully accept all of Qin Xian's business, then the bad news of not being able to negotiate the copyright of Feng Ge's new drama would turn into a good thing.

……

"How could it be possible that they didn't cooperate with us?"

At the same time, in another hotel in Beijing, Zeng Xi also received some bad news.

In his opinion, a 70:30 profit sharing ratio is probably the limit.

Even if Tudou Video is willing to make every effort, it is unlikely to improve further.

What matters in the end is nothing more than some other conditions besides profit sharing.

The various benefits offered by Penguin are definitely the top resources that the platform can currently provide.

For example, during the broadcast of this new drama, the page was exclusively on the homepage for about half a month before and after the premiere.

This is something that was not available on their platform before.

It is said that it was specially tailor-made for Feng Ge.

Just talking about the number of users and influence of the platform, how can Tudou Video compare with them?

How can we lose this?

……

"Mr. Zeng, I got the news that Tudou Video didn't get the exclusive broadcast rights for Feng Ge's new drama..."

Zeng Xi was stunned by his subordinate's words.

"what?"

"Which one is that?"

"Could it be Mango? Did Xu Kong really choose to cooperate with Mango because of his relationship with Wu Youxue..."

The first thing he thought of was, naturally, Mango Video.

In fact, among all the video websites set up by traditional TV stations, the only one that makes him feel threatened is Mango TV.

Relying on the exclusive broadcasting rights of so many self-produced variety shows that their TV station had previously owned, it has indeed attracted a large number of loyal viewers.

But if you really count it, in terms of the number of users and film and television copyright resources, even Mango has a huge gap with the three major video sites.

So although I was cautious, I didn't take the single page too seriously.

Who would have thought that because of Wu Youxue, they could actually snatch the exclusive online broadcasting rights for Feng Ge's new drama from them.

The fact that Xu Kong and Wu Youxue are good friends is no longer a secret in the circle.

The main reason is that it cannot be replicated. Wu Youxue is really too lucky.

This friendship existed before Xu Kong officially rose to prominence.

By now Xu Kong has become completely successful and no longer needs the so-called help and support from others, but he deliberately tries to build good relationships with others. His purpose is too obvious.

When Feng Ge first got into trouble, the Penguins also had this opportunity.

It’s a pity that I didn’t dare to bet all of it.

This is one of the things Zeng Xi regrets the most in recent years.

……

“It’s not a mango either…”

"It seems that their leader left the capital yesterday."

Zeng Xi thought so much in his mind, but was caught off guard again by his subordinates' words.

"It's not potatoes or mangoes, so what else could it be?"

He really couldn't think of a more reasonable answer for a moment.

"The news I got is that Qin Xian, the vice president of Kiwifruit, went to Fengge yesterday afternoon."

"Although I only stayed for about an hour before leaving."

"But today I went there for the second time, and this time I stayed there from morning till afternoon..."

Zeng Xi heard the names of Qin Xian and Kiwi.

I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Because of the conflict between Xu Kong and Qin Xian, he subconsciously thought that the copyright of the dramas produced by Fengge had nothing to do with its old rival Kiwi.

But now it seems that Qin Xian has taken the initiative to lower his head, and it is very likely that he has lowered his high attitude that has made people unhappy for so many years for the first time.

"Even if Qin Xian really goes to negotiate in person, the conditions..."

Zeng Xi couldn't help but think about it, but he knew that it was very likely that Kiwi had spent a huge amount of money this time, even with an 80:20 profit sharing ratio, to successfully obtain the exclusive domestic broadcasting rights for "Squid Game".

……

"This is not good news for us!"

Zeng Xi sighed helplessly.

In fact, in comparison, even Tudou Video or Mango TV got the copyright of this drama.

He wouldn't be as worried as he is now.

Because Penguin Video’s biggest competitor has never changed, and that is Kiwi.

The two companies have always been evenly matched in terms of various resources and number of users.

In the past two years, thanks to several dramas starring Xu Kong, the company has been able to gain a firm advantage over the other side.

This is also one of the reasons why Zeng Xi is so fond of Feng Ge and Xu Kong.

……

In fact, Zeng Xi himself is also very interested in this movie "Squid Game".

I even feel that its popularity might be able to catch up with the previous "The Beginning" and "The Bad Kids".

But what he was more worried about at this time was not the huge success of the show after it was broadcast on Kiwi.

But after this cooperation, it is likely that Kiwi will start to participate in the competition between Feng Ge and Xu Kong's new dramas.

What could be said to be their biggest advantage at the moment suddenly disappeared.

"You're so careless!"

"I did overlook the kiwi fruit."

"The main reason is that I didn't expect that someone with Qin Xian's personality would choose to bow his head."

"And you are so bold to gamble."

He felt that even Penguin Video couldn't achieve an 80:20 profit sharing.

But in order to repair the relationship with Feng Ge, Qin Xian actually made such a decision.

It must be said that although Qin Xian relied on his connections to get to where he is now with a character that doesn't understand the ways of the world,

But in terms of business capabilities and overall perspective, the other party's existence is indeed the key to Kiwi's success today.

……

"Our lives may not be so good in the future..."

Zeng Xi had to speak out the helpless reality.

Compared with Tudou Video, they do have their own advantages under the same profit-sharing conditions.

But if Kiwi also joins the competition for the copyright of Feng Ge and Xu Kong's new drama, Zeng Xi himself will no longer have the full confidence he had before.
