Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

"condition!"

Lin Shu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, asking about the contract terms.

Lin Shu had conducted a detailed assessment of the overall environment surrounding YY Live's signing in 2012, as well as his own value.

To be honest, he was a little curious about what kind of conditions the other party would offer him.

"Okay, Mr. Lin is a straightforward person."

On the other end of the phone, the manager surnamed Zhou chuckled, his tone becoming more straightforward, "Then I won't beat around the bush. If Mr. Lin could join our YY as Emperor..."

Ten minutes later.

Lin Shu held his phone, remaining silent, but a hint of barely suppressed surprise lurked deep in his eyes.

Yes, I was surprised.

According to Manager Zhou, the conditions offered to him by YY, or rather the 90001 guild, went far beyond what the word "generous" could describe.

On a small scale, it was generous; on a larger scale… he even felt it was a bit outrageous.

First, there's the issue of identity and ranking. Lin Shu received the platform's highest-level Platinum-level streamer certification.

Furthermore, after being affiliated with YY Live's top guild 90001, they will create their own separate live streaming sub-channel.

In terms of salary and resources, they are also top-notch.

A base salary of four thousand yuan—in 2012, this was an absolutely top-tier figure in the live streaming industry.

In addition, there are homepage recommendations, top placements in the LOL section, and official account reposts – a complete package of services.

The minimum subsidy for a video is 1,000 yuan; as long as the video can be produced, the platform is willing to pay.

The gifts were split 60/40, with Lin Shu taking the lion's share.

This is not over yet.

In addition, the guild provides equipment support including sound cards, condenser microphones, and high-definition cameras.

The most outrageous requirement is the minimum live streaming duration: at least 60 hours per month, which averages out to two hours per day.

Two hours of live streaming per day?

Isn't this just like playing around?

In the future, there will be resources recommended for YY official event commentary; as long as he wants to be on the platform, it will be arranged.

What?

Hearing the other person's description, Lin Shu almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Are you sure you're not joking?

When did capital become so kind?

Only those within the family know their own situation. He is indeed currently the top player in the Chinese server, and his peak-level tutorial video has indeed gone viral. But when it comes to things that can truly be used as bargaining chips, there are very few to count.

You should know that if the other party really wants to lower his price, there are plenty of ways to do so.

For example, they could arrange for a group of actors from the film crew to snipe him in high-ranking matches, annoy him for a period of time, cause his score to drop, and temporarily fall out of the top spot.

Alternatively, leveraging the influence of the guild on YY.com, limiting the majority of recommendations for their videos would be perfectly feasible.

Not signing a contract means they're not part of our company. If it really comes to the point where they switch to another platform, YY Inc. will definitely handle it the same way.

Capital has many ways of manipulating you.

But the other person didn't play.

Not only did they not play the game, they also handed over a contract overflowing with sincerity.

Is YY, or rather, Huya in the future, optimistic about itself and hoping to use this Rank competition as an opportunity to conduct broader marketing and directly solidify its position as the leader in game live streaming?

Or was it some young master or princess from YY Inc. who also liked playing League of Legends, took a liking to me, and then used my personal weapon's built-in little bit of capriciousness?

Honestly, compared to the former's plausibility, Lin Shu was more inclined to believe the latter.

However, Lin Shu quickly gave up on his wild thoughts.

Who cares? The conditions they offered are generous, which is better than harsh ones, right?

In today's live streaming market, signing with YY and joining 90001 to obtain an exclusive sub-channel is definitely better than other platforms and guilds.

There's nothing to worry about.

"Of course, if Mr. Lin has his own ideas about certain clauses in our contract—for example, if he feels uneasy about them being too lenient and wants to give up some—then we can appropriately increase the signing bonus..."

"No, no need."

Lin Shu interrupted without even thinking.

He's not out of his mind to set himself up for a signing fee of ten or twenty thousand.

"Okay, I'll send you the letter of intent first. I'll bring a dedicated staff member to you in person to formally sign the contract by tomorrow evening at the latest."

"grateful."

Lin Shu put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, let out a long breath, and slumped down as if all his energy had been drained.

at last.

This can be considered a significant step forward.

He closed his eyes, and images of the past few days flashed through his mind like a movie—from being reborn with only eight hundred yuan left in his pocket, to eating instant noodles in internet cafes, saving money to buy a computer by writing orders, renting a room, climbing the rankings, reaching the top of the national server, and posting his first video...

He walked this path with extreme caution, taking each step with utmost care.

They feared that their business would fail halfway through.

But it seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke on him.

He gave himself a hellish, impoverished start, yet he also provided boosters for every step he took on his journey.

When money is tight, orders come in, and the order boss even gives extra tips. When climbing the charts, the individual's performance is phenomenal. When releasing videos, connections get them featured on the platform. When negotiating live streaming contracts, investors offer lucrative deals...

Lin Shu opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling, and unconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth.

"When things are going well for you, you'll be surrounded by kind people."

He suddenly thought of this sentence.

That's quite right.

……

The moment Lin Shu sent the letter of intent back to Manager Zhou, YY's marketing and publicity department sprang into action at lightning speed, as if the gas pedal had been floored.

How fast is the movement?

In the Duowan Box app, a red banner with white text and bold, enlarged font suddenly appeared at the top of the homepage.

[Top Chinese player Emperor joins YY! Watch the 2600-point Chinese server number one teach you how to play!]

Scroll down, and you'll see a series of screenshots from Lin Shu's account backend, all showing his MVP victory record.

The most eye-catching thing was the ranking screenshot, which clearly displayed the number "2613". It just stood there, attracting attention.

Meanwhile, Lin Shu's tutorial video, which has become the No.1 video on the Duowan Box with the highest number of views, was also displayed below the push notification by the staff.

That's not all. In addition to the pop-up notifications prepared by the YY Live client, major e-sports forums have also been busy.

Whether it was paid online commentators or simply spontaneous fan activity, overnight, countless high-quality discussion threads related to Emperor sprang up like mushrooms after rain, with titles becoming increasingly outrageous—

"Emperor joins YY, the live streaming industry welcomes another true dragon!"

"The man who killed in the national uniform, he's here!"

"The top player in the Chinese server has finally shown their face!"

"The entire league is waiting for the broadcast time!!!"

是 的

As countless players meticulously scrolled through the information, their feet practically worn out, they discovered a very strange phenomenon—

With so many push notifications, so many discussions, and so much traffic being poured in... not a single word was mentioned about the two crucial pieces of information: which channel Emperor is on and when he will be live streaming.

Yes, not a single one.

Even if you read every post, every pinned post, and every pop-up repeatedly, you still won't find the answers to these two questions.

It's like a group of people shouting all over the world with a megaphone, "The master has arrived!" But how do you find this master?

Oh, I don't know!

They're just keeping you hanging on.

It's meant to make you guess.
