Xiao Niansheng said, "We can definitely make sothing out of this. Isn’t Mouyu in Jiangbei? You’re familiar with it."
"Yeah, my dad even asked about the prospects of live streaming. I wasn’t optimistic at the ti, and he doesn’t really understand this stuff, so he didn’t invest."
"Mouyu’s rewards can be cashed out once a week..."
"I’m not really sure about that, what are you trying to say?"
"Li Yang’s streaming contract is about to expire. Mouyu will definitely renew it. Then you should find a way to get Li Yang a better contract..."
"I’m supposed to get him a contract?"
Liu Yuheng felt like he would have to be crazy to do that.
The more money Li Yang makes, the bigger threat he poses.
Xiao Niansheng said, "Mouyu’s contract includes a signing bonus and a share of the rewards. You just need to make Li Yang sign a high-share contract with Mouyu, like an 80/20 or 90/10 split of the gifts. Then, I’ll find people who do money laundering to reward him, and once the amount is big enough, we’ll report Li Yang..."
"Hmm? Will that work?"
"I’ll set up the chain properly, and have those people contact Li Yang, with full surface-level evidence. Even if an investigation proves Li Yang’s innocence, we can make a big deal out of it to destroy his streaming career. The core is that when he has to return the money, he won’t have any left... Innocent or not, he’ll beco guilty..."
"How will he be out of money?"
"Just happens I know so people who run online scams, make him lose money, and he won’t have any left, right?"
Liu Yuheng pondered for a while, realizing this wasn’t an easy task.
However, dealing with dirty money is cheap, so it should be manageable.
The main thing is the scam, how to lure Li Yang in is the core point.
"Can we keep ourselves clean? This is illegal."
Liu Yuheng didn’t want to gamble with his future.
"I guarantee it, we won’t be implicated at all."
...
On Tuesday, shortly after changing its na, Mouya contacted Li Yang.
They knew Li Yang’s contract was about to expire.
Li Yang was the hottest ga strear, completely dominating the second tier.
Last month, Mouyu managed to secure $30 million in funding, thanks to Li Yang. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth that much.
Mouya urgently needed to make a na for itself and offered a very generous deal.
$35 million a year!
If Li Yang preferred, they could do a three-month contract: a $10 million signing bonus with a 60/40 split of the gifts, with Li Yang taking 60%.
Li Yang was really tempted by this offer. His contract had just a month left, and it was ti to look for a new one.
He was inclined towards Mouyu, not just because of the priority.
Mouyu had a larger audience, although not so many heavy supporters.
But if he went to Mouya, he’d have to deal with the existing guilds there. Without engagent, there wouldn’t be any big spenders.
At this point, Mouyu’s CEO Chen Jie contacted him.
"Li Yang, your popularity is insanely high. Our second most popular strear has only about 600,000 active viewers, while you consistently have over 1.5 million. Several streaming platforms are trying to poach talent, and I’m a bit anxious... How about we renew your contract early?"
Li Yang: "..."
Renew early, such a good deal?
"President Chen, my contract isn’t up yet. Aren’t you worried I might lose popularity over ti?"
"Hahaha, with your streaming content, no one on the entire internet can mimic you. How can we not believe in you? Besides, if your popularity drops, it would be our fault. Partnerships aren’t all about profit without any loss."
Li Yang: "..."
Damn, if only I didn’t know you guys eventually launder money and run casinos, I’d really believe you.
But right now, Chen Jie probably hasn’t thought about doing those things yet.
