Chapter 102 Further Squeezing the Other Party's Bottom Line
Chapter 102 Further Squeezing the Other Party's Bottom Line
"We have indeed felt your company's sincerity."
"However, that's not enough to meet our minimum requirements."
"Next, let's discuss how to end this pointless war of words."
After hearing Yang Yifang's offer, Ye Kai and Shen Jiayi both felt that the price was reasonable.
Huayi Brothers, as expected of a major player in the entertainment industry, offered Shen Jiayi a cooperation agreement worth millions in order to protect the artists under its management.
This cooperation agreement did not explicitly require Shen Jiayi to do anything, clearly indicating that they did not want to leave any leverage against them on paper.
Of course, Huayi Brothers Company was indeed confident enough in itself, believing that once Shen Jiayi received the money, she would not act contrary to the agreement between the two parties.
Based on the principle that negotiations cannot be concluded overnight, Ye Kai felt that he could take advantage of Huayi Brothers' eagerness to end this media war to ask for some more benefits for Shen Jiayi.
Such opportunities are rare, and we can't just let them slip by easily.
"Tsk!"
"The cooperation agreement our company proposed is already very sincere. If we want to make further demands on this price, I'm afraid my superiors will not agree. They would rather use other, more costly means to resolve this unexpected situation."
Yang Yifang was a little angry when he saw that Ye Kai and Shen Jiayi were still not satisfied.
Huayi Brothers offered a rare and generous deal: one million to settle the matter. Yang Yifang didn't believe they would add more money on top of that.
The reason for offering such a high price is simply because Shen Jiayi has officially entered the ranks of super influencers with tens of millions of followers this morning.
The financial compensation received by a KOL with millions of followers is vastly different from that of a KOL with tens of millions of followers.
"Mr. Yang."
"Given that the amount of cash compensation cannot be changed, we can also consider other ways to compensate Ms. Shen Jiayi for her economic losses."
"For example, could some of the brands that abandoned Yin Xiaotian be selected and given to Ms. Shen Jiayi?"
Ye Kai did not expect the other party to make further concessions on top of the one million compensation, so he changed his negotiation strategy and turned his attention to the endorsement contract.
Judging from the current situation, after the "backstabbing incident," dozens of brands rushed to sever ties with Yin Xiaotian, which is astonishing.
Before this, everyone knew that Yin Xiaotian was very popular, but no one expected him to be this popular and have such high commercial value.
No wonder that as soon as Yin Xiaotian got into trouble, regardless of whether it was true or not, a large group of people attacked him online. They were just too envious of his commercial endorsement contracts.
"That's impossible!"
Yang Yifang refused Ye Kai's request without hesitation.
They condoned their artists' attacks on Yin Xiaotian, all for the sake of securing those endorsement contracts.
If they give the endorsement contract that they finally managed to snatch from Yin Xiaotian to Shen Jiayi, wouldn't all their efforts in this scheme have been for nothing?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
If he dares to agree to such an unreasonable request, a large group of people in the company will immediately jump out and beat him senseless.
Nothing is absolute.
"Ms. Shen Jiayi is now a big influencer with over ten million followers. I believe that brands would be very interested in her. In a sense, as long as the channels are open, her endorsement effect may be stronger than that of celebrities in the entertainment industry."
Ye Kai did not give up his demands just because Yang Yifang refused. Instead, he began to explain the strong advantages of his side.
The significant value represented by tens of millions of active fans is something many brands can recognize, and they would not refuse to collaborate with Shen Jiayi.
Although those brands were endorsed by Yin Xiaotian, they might be more suitable to be replaced by other male celebrities. However, there are some brands that would not have any problem even if they were endorsed by female celebrities. This is Shen Jiayi's opportunity.
"this……"
Yang Yifang fell silent after hearing this.
He knew that Ye Kai's words made a lot of sense, but from his perspective, he couldn't accept them.
This time, although Yin Xiaotian was proven innocent, the brands that had terminated their cooperation could not get the endorsement back and could only find new spokespeople. Huayi Brothers can at least get about twenty endorsement contracts.
It's not entirely impossible to give up a few slots to the newly popular influencer Shen Jiayi, but it would require continued communication with the senior management of Huayi Brothers.
Yang Yifang himself clearly does not have the authority to make direct decisions.
"I need to communicate with the company first."
After pondering for a while, Yang Yifang finally relented.
Ye Kai had no objection; he could accompany Shen Jiayi to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant together.
Are you going to the capital?
Perhaps because she had become a top influencer with millions of followers, Shen Jiayi was in a good mood. She ordered a bowl of wontons and a fried egg at the restaurant, and then watched as Ye Kaiduan brought back a large bowl of noodles and various side dishes.
"Yes, the business expansion in Beijing is too fast."
"I have to go there in person to handle some related matters. Otherwise, if too much trouble accumulates over time, it will affect the normal progress of the project, and that would be a bit unfair to the other investors."
Ye Kai nodded, indicating that he did indeed need to go to Beijing, and there was a high probability that he would have to stay there before the start of the semester to deal with various issues related to his investment projects.
"Wouldn't it be too boring for me to stay in Xinghua City all by myself?"
The thought of Ye Kai leaving her for quite some time immediately made Miss Shen pout, her face full of unhappiness.
"That's not necessarily true."
"Once I've made all the arrangements in Beijing, you can go there and experience life in the capital."
Ye Kai chuckled and patted Shen Jiayi's bottom, extending a warm invitation.
"don't want!"
"I feel like if I went to see you, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den!"
Although Shen Jiayi was very tempted, she quickly realized that Ye Kai definitely had no good intentions.
If she went to the capital and relied on Ye Kai's wing, she would probably be completely devoured by him in no time. In less than three days, she would be completely transformed into Ye Kai's shape.
"Look at what you're saying... I wouldn't do anything reckless..."
Ye Kai clutched his chest, his face filled with grief and despair, expressing how heartbroken he was because Miss Shen had misunderstood him.
"Buzzing—buzzing—"
At that moment, Yang Yifang called again.
"We can give up two endorsement contracts."
"No more!"
Yang Yifang spoke very confidently to Ye Kai and Shen Jiayi over the phone.
