Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

"Alright, then let’s wait and see," Chen Jincheng said with a smile. Since the other party had agreed, he didn’t bother mentioning signing a contract.

After all, President Lei was here as a witness, along with the senior executives of Rice Group. Unless the Internet Celebrity Young Master was willing to lose all face, there was no way he would go back on his word.

So, he was in a rather pleasant mood. After all, he was about to get another luxury car.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford the car. The main issue was that only 918 had been made worldwide, and every single one had an owner. People who could afford such a car rarely sold them, making it the kind of vehicle you couldn’t buy even if you wanted to.

’I’ve been driving the Lamborghini for a while; it’d be nice to switch things up.’

The Internet Celebrity Young Master saw his smile. "You think you’ve already won?"

"It’s a fact," Chen Jincheng replied with a smile.

"..." The Internet Celebrity Young Master was speechless.

The conversation then shifted back to Second-Life Star. President Lei asked a few questions about MCNs and discussed the influencer industry with Chen Jincheng.

Seeing the time was right, the Internet Celebrity Young Master spoke up. "Mr. Chen, President Lei, I’ve brought the contracts for the Black Cat TV streamers, along with the relevant agreements and procedural documents."

President Lei chuckled. "It seems Wang can’t wait to sign. In that case, President Chen, you two should get the contract signed."

"As you wish, President Lei," Chen Jincheng said with a nod and a smile.

The Internet Celebrity Young Master made a call. A moment later, someone came in from outside the banquet hall carrying a briefcase and handed it to him.

He took the briefcase, opened it, and said, "Mr. Chen, President Lei, all the streamer contracts have digital backups, which I will send to Second-Life Star. What I have here is the sales agreement and the related documents."

At this point, the Black Cat TV streamers also noticed what was happening and knew this was the critical moment.

Once the contract was signed, they would all officially be artists under Second-Life Star.

As the Internet Celebrity Young Master took out the documents, a senior executive from Rice Group stood up to help review them. He was the head of Rice Group’s legal department.

He also made a call, and a few members of Rice Group’s legal team immediately came over.

President Lei had clearly come prepared.

While the legal team reviewed the contracts and paperwork, Chen Jincheng and the others waited to the side, continuing their chat with President Lei’s group.

Furthermore, Rice Group’s legal team was extremely efficient. They quickly finished reviewing the contract and all related documents. Once they confirmed there were no issues, Chen Jincheng officially signed the contract with the Internet Celebrity Young Master.

In other words, as of this moment, the more than 6,000 streamers from Black Cat TV were officially artists under the Second-Life Star banner.

Seeing the contract was signed, President Lei turned to the Internet Celebrity Young Master. "Wang, now that it’s done, let’s get a group photo with everyone to publicly announce the successful handover."

"Okay," the Internet Celebrity Young Master agreed with a nod.

President Lei then waved to the nearby Black Cat TV streamers. "Everyone, come join us for a group photo!"

This was also part of the deal he had promised.

The Black Cat TV streamers had been waiting for this moment. Opportunities to take a photo with such influential figures were rare; for them, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Instantly, all the streamers gathered around, but they did so in an orderly fashion.

Chen Jincheng and the Internet Celebrity Young Master stood in the center, shaking hands. President Lei, the Rice Group executives, and a curious Lin Gou and Xue Qian stood behind the pair.

The Black Cat TV streamers, in turn, formed a circle around them all, while someone from Rice Group took the group photo.

Of course, the photo didn’t signal the end of the banquet. On the contrary, it marked the beginning of the real celebration, a time to eat and drink freely.

For the Black Cat TV streamers, in particular, the deal was done. Starting tomorrow, they would be embarking on a new journey.

After returning to the main table, Hong Tao approached Chen Jincheng, all smiles, and once again brought up his offer to poach him.

Chen Jincheng naturally declined, but he used the opportunity to make a counter-proposal. "President Hong, I’m very optimistic about Kuaishou, but the fact is, I’m familiar with the Tiao Yin ecosystem, not Kuaishou’s."

"So, how about this? I could try setting up a branch guild on Kuaishou and send some of my influencers over to test the waters."

Hong Tao’s face lit up. "Excellent. We’ll do it just as you say, Mr. Chen."

With this commitment from Chen Jincheng, he would at least have something to show for his efforts. If he returned empty-handed again, he really didn’t know how he would face President Chen.

Chen Jincheng smiled. "Alright. I’ll have Sister Hong coordinate with you to finalize the details for the branch guild."

President Lei watched this unfold with a knowing smile. He was aware of the short-drama platform and knew that the Second Life Star Official Website was currently siphoning traffic from Tiao Yin.

Once the branch guild was confirmed and the deal was set in stone, the moment the news broke, Tiao Yin would surely start to panic.

Time flew by amidst the clinking of glasses, and soon, the banquet began to wind down.

Sun Yifan immediately turned to Little Su Fei. "Quick, let’s leave first!"

Little Su Fei knew exactly what she meant.

Go wait for Chen Jincheng at his door, and then follow through with the plan to "deliver" her to him.

They pretended to be too drunk to continue, said their goodbyes to the other female streamers at their table, and left.

The other female streamers didn’t suspect a thing.

Back at the main table, President Lei and his group were also about ready to call it a night.

Only Chen Jincheng was completely unaffected.

With his current physical constitution and high tolerance for alcohol, it was as if he hadn’t had a single drop.

If he really let loose, he could drink President Lei and everyone else under the table until they developed bleeding ulcers.
