Ding-dong, you have a new text message.
It was from the bank.
"Your account ending in 97434 has received 2,600,000 yuan."
Chen Yang stared at the screen in shock. He read it several times to make sure he wasn't seeing things, then opened the backend.
Sure enough, Drunk Under the Sky had sent him a message.
"Master Chen, the payment has been transferred. Please check and let me know if it's arrived."
"It's here."
"Good, I was busy this morning and missed the livestream. I'll catch up on the replay. See you later."
Chen Yang smiled. Drunk Under the Sky was indeed an interesting person. He had sent the money in advance without any worries that Chen Yang might not send the wild ginseng later.
Chen Yang opened the bank's app and stared at the balance. The string of numbers was so surreal. He had never imagined this moment would come so soon.
Just a few days ago, he was an ordinary office worker, with only 50,000 yuan in savings. And now—he had over 2 million yuan!
"Right, time to call my parents!"
"Now that I've made money, I can finally tell them with confidence."
Chen Yang had been waiting for this moment for a long time, but he never expected it would arrive so quickly.
He dialed his mother's number and spent over half an hour talking to her. When he told her that he had earned over 2 million, his mother didn't believe it at first.
In the end, Chen Yang transferred 2 million to her directly. Only then did she believe it.
But right after the transfer, his mom called him back, saying she would save the money for his future wedding.
Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh.
"Mom, I'm making money now. I can make several thousand a day just from livestreaming."
"You and Dad don't need to work anymore. From now on, I'll support both of you!"
"Consider this money my filial piety to you. As for a house and car, go ahead and pick one out. If you like something, just buy it."
After hanging up, Chen Yang didn't stop there. He immediately booked a tour for his parents, sending them on a travel group around the world.
His parents weren't educated and had worked hard their whole lives doing tough manual labor, all for him. Now that he had the ability to make money, he certainly didn't want them to continue working so hard.
Once he had booked the tour, he sent the information to his mom. Then, he went back to the livestream platform and began responding to the many private messages that had piled up in his inbox.
Chen Yang hadn't signed a contract yet. According to the platform's policy, without a contract, the earnings from donations were split 46% to him, and 54% to the platform.
Over the past few days, his total donations amounted to nearly 200,000 yuan. After the split, he only took home about 80,000 yuan—barely enough.
So signing a contract was crucial.
As Chen Yang began replying to the messages, the platform representatives saw his responses almost immediately.
"Finally, a reply!"
Yang Hai, from the Tiger Shark Livestream Platform, immediately sent a message: "Mr. Chen, hello! Here is my phone number. Can you give me a call now?"
Just as he sent it, Chen Yang replied: "Sure."
Since Yang Hai was the first to respond, Chen Yang decided to call him first. It was always better to compare the terms from different platforms before making a decision.
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.
"Hello, is this Mr. Chen Yang?" Yang Hai's voice came through.
"Yes, it's me. Hello."
"Great! So, our platform would like to sign a contract with you."
"Could you briefly tell me about the contract?" Chen Yang asked."Of course." Yang Hai was already prepared. "We'd like to offer you an A-level contract, which is the third-highest level at our platform. Most new streamers can only sign a C-level contract, which is the fifth level."
"The A-level contract gives you a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, and we'll cover three types of insurance. As for the revenue split, it will be 55% to you, and 45% to the platform. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Yang furrowed his brow.
For an average streamer, this was actually a decent deal. However, he wasn't just any average streamer.
From what he had seen over the past few days, his livestream performance wasn't bad at all.
He didn't care about the salary or insurance. What really mattered to him was the revenue split.
55%? That wasn't enticing at all.
"I'll tell you what my conditions are," Chen Yang said calmly.
"You have conditions?" Yang Hai was taken aback.
Usually, when streamers signed contracts, even B-level contracts were considered good, and no one ever made demands. But Chen Yang was already asking for more?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang grew a bit uncomfortable.
"Mr. Yang, do you mean that now that you've invited me to the Tiger Shark platform, I'm not allowed to make requests?"
"That's not what I meant, Mr. Chen. Please go ahead and tell me your conditions."
Chen Yang took a deep breath, "It's simple. I want the revenue split to be 82%."
"Impossible!" Yang Hai immediately rejected him. "Mr. Chen, 82% is the split for S-level streamers."
Chen Yang replied, "I believe my ability is enough to warrant an S-level contract."
"You've contacted me, which means you've watched my livestreams. You should be able to see how my streams are performing."
Yang Hai sighed, "Sorry, that's not possible. The best I can do is get you a 64% split."
Chen Yang replied flatly, "Then, forget it."
Yang Hai was stunned. "So you're not going to sign with us?"
Chen Yang's tone was firm. "I will never sign with a 64% split."
Yang Hai tried to convince him again, "Mr. Chen, you should think this through. Tiger Shark is one of the top three platforms in the country with a huge amount of traffic. If you sign with us, I can offer you more exposure. Remember, every successful streamer starts from the bottom. You can't expect to receive S-level benefits right away. S-level streamers are typically top-tier game streamers or music streamers. You're just streaming rural life."
"And frankly speaking, Mr. Chen, rural life doesn't have a precedent for going viral in livestreaming. No S-level rural streamers have emerged yet."
Chen Yang smiled lightly. "It hasn't happened yet, but now it will."
"Alright, I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye."
Beep beep...
Yang Hai stared at the phone in disbelief, his face turning dark.
He was fuming.
An A-level contract was the highest he thought Chen Yang could possibly get, but Chen Yang had immediately asked for an 82% split.
"Hmph! Does he really think he's a big deal? He's just a rural streamer. He got lucky with a wild ginseng. It's all luck, not talent!"
"Let's wait and see. He'll fail eventually."
