Chapter 34: Thomson Gave Up the Contract With US$1 Million Minimum Payment!

Thomson picked up the contract and looked at it. It was indeed different from the previous one. The difference was huge.

Nehemiah Douglas was also giving him an explanation.

“Thomson, this contract is interesting. The contract length is also 1 year, but there’s no guaranteed payment for this contract.”

“The gifts in the livestream are split 7-3. You will take 70% and the platform takes 30%.”

“The number of recommendations is the same as the previous contract. We’ll give you five recommendations a month, three small recommendations, and two big recommendations.”

“During the recommendation period, there will be big data being measured following that period. According to the rate of increase in fans, and amount of tips, you will continue to be recommended to those that present positive data.”

“At the same time, when your fans reach a certain level, there will be brands approaching you for endorsements or to do live commerce. You are free to make your own choices and decide if you want to accept these or not. The profits from such work will also be split by 7-3. 70% for you and 30% for the platform.”

“This contract does not list restrictions for livestream duration. You can start streaming at any time, or you can also not stream for a month. The platform will not give you a guaranteed salary, not a single cent. It will depend entirely on your hard work.”

Thomson listened to Nehemiah Douglas’ introduction. There was something interesting about this contract. It was like a bet between two parties.

The company had given him a platform and gave him a chance for exposure. But it will not give him a guaranteed salary.

If I have many fans this year and many brands approach me, my income will definitely be higher than the minimum of US$1 million.

If I do not make it, I will have to stay on this platform for a year. I cannot go anywhere else and will be restricted for a year.

Thomson was deliberating. He would get some tips every day. Not much, but enough for his own use.

He really wanted to go for it.

He spoke to Nehemiah Douglas,

“I have some interest in this new contract. I would like to make some suggestions.

“I agree with everything else. As for the tips, I want an 8-2 split. I’ll take 80%.

“In addition, I also want 80% of the profits from endorsement deals and live commerce.”

Nehemiah Douglas began to ponder after listening to Thomson’s requests.

Currently, no newbie streamers had dared to sign this new contract, because there was no minimum payment for this contract. This contract was for the big streamers.

However, the boss made an attempt and was curious if any new streamers would dare to sign this contract.

Nehemiah Douglas said to Thomson, “Mr. Thomson, I have no right to change the contract. I need to consult our boss. Please wait a moment.”

Thomson nodded. He wasn’t in a hurry. While the other party was on the phone, he was leisurely eating dessert and drinking coffee.

Nehemiah Douglas gave his boss a call.

When his boss received this call, he was also very surprised. There had yet to be a newbie streamer who dared to sign this contract.

Nehemiah Douglas had offered Thomson a very good contract, giving him a minimum payment ofUS$1 million. This was thinking very highly of Thomson.

Thomson did not disappoint Nehemiah Douglas either, choosing to sign this new contract as a newcomer. One had to know that this contract had no guarantee.

If Thomson performed well, he could make more requests to the platform.

It was indeed interesting. The boss of the platform agreed to Thomson’s requests and changed the contract. He also became extremely curious about this person.

Nehemiah Douglas hung up, feeling delighted.

Amending the contract was not a simple matter. Even the superstars on the livestream platform had yet to make any changes to the division of profits, Thomson had broken the precedent.

Nehemiah Douglas asked the colleague in charge of contracts to revise the contract and send it over.

When the people at the Quick Information Platform headquarters found out that there was a newcomer who wanted to amend the contract, they were very surprised.

All of a sudden, everyone in the company knew about Thomson’s matter.

When they heard that Thomson had given up on the guarantee contract, all of them gaped in disbelief, revealing looks of disbelief.

He was just a newbie streamer. His monthly guarantee was only US$500, and that was merely US$6,000 a year.

US$1 million was more than 166 times of US$6,000. It was also a sum that many ordinary people could not earn even over ten years.

At the same time, he was also the only newcomer on the platform who dared to sign this new contract.

They were mocking him.

“Gosh, Thomson must be an idiot. He must be a big fool to not want US$1 million.”

“That’s right. I previously signed a contract with a new female streamer. She looks very sweet and is multi-talented. She can sing and dance, that was why I gave her a contract with US$300,000 minimum payment . She has been thanking me the whole time.”

“I’ve recently signed a gaming streamer, an almighty in the League of Legends. His livestream already has 200,000 favorites and it is very lively there. I only gave him a contract with US$500,000 minimum payment and he’s already overjoyed.”

“Nehemiah Douglas is really too nice to Thomson. He gave him a contract for an A-lister-to-be, and Thomson almost ruined him. If Thomson doesn’t produce any results this year, Nehmea Douglas will be finished too.”

“I would love to keep an eye on Thomson. Who is he, that he dared to be the first to sign such a contract.”

“That’s right. He’s just a new streamer who has been boxing to pass time . The most ridiculous thing is that he still doesn’t know how to box yet. He definitely won’t succeed.”

…

The workers of the platform were all talking about Thomson. None of them believed that Thomson would succeed.

The person in charge of amending the contract sent the revised version to Nehemiah Douglas.

He went somewhere nearby and immediately printed out the contract.

The newest contract was amended according to Thomson’s requests.

Thomson confirmed the contract and had no objections to it. The two signed their names and put down their hand prints.

The contract took effect immediately. There were two copies of it, Nehemiah Douglas took one of them.

They said their goodbyes to each other. Nehemiah Douglas happily left for his office with the contract and went to the cashier to settle the bill as he did.

Thomson was still seated in the cafe enjoying the beautiful moment.

He was delighted. There were many people watching his livestream now. If there was a website for him to operate, he would definitely grow very well.

Of course, if Thomson was diligent, he could certainly film short videos and manage himself.

However, this was very tiring. He was occupied with boxing training everyday to increase the strength of his Combat Energy. In addition, he was a newcomer, so it would take him a lot of time to do things himself.

Leaving professional matters to the platform professionals was definitely the best arrangement.
