Chapter 43 42. Playing with Fire and Getting Burned (Two in One)

“Even if you let me see it, I still can’t understand it.”

As art students, their temperament and talents are mostly focused on professional skills.

Looking at the densely packed small characters in front of him, which looked like hieroglyphics, Du Jianuo always felt...
I'm going to feel sleepy in the next second.

"Zhou Lu, Zhou Lu~ I really can't get into it. Can you sort it out for me and explain it from beginning to end?"

So, she stood up with a smile, walked to Zhou Mingyuan, and sat down confidently.

The slender and straight calves were crossed together, shaking up and down continuously, and the eye was filled with endless whiteness.

At the end of the whiteness is a lace-up sandal.

The straps are extremely thin, allowing the five toes to remain arranged in a stepped pattern when stretched out. The joints are naturally slightly curved, and the tips are lightly upturned. The nail polish embellishes them, giving off a crimson luster in the warm light.

I have to admit that Du Jianuo knows a lot.

From an ordinary person to a six-digit Weibo fan base, she certainly knows how to display and utilize the natural charm of women.

A beautiful woman who knows herself is a powerful weapon in herself.

The senior student's body fragrance filled Zhou Mingyuan's nostrils. There was a stack of contracts in front of the two of them, and the distance between them was less than one meter.

Someone gently put his arm around his right shoulder and then patted it. Zhou Mingyuan turned his head and just happened to meet Du Jianuo's smiling gaze.

No way, senior?

Do you really think of me as a young junior?

Zhou Mingyuan laughed secretly in his heart.

The deliberately prolonged voice, the meaningful title, the flexible movements, every detail reflects Du Jianuo's almost overflowing relaxation and confidence.

Looking at the entire Nanhu University, Du Jianuo has an absolutely huge lead in the number of suitors.

the reason is simple.

Cute, pure, sweet and other adjectives are nothing compared to sexiness.

The ultimate beauty among dancers is called sexiness that is within reach.

So when Du Jianuo found out that the legendary Zhou Lu was actually just a freshman, his original admiration and respect for him naturally disappeared a lot.

She admitted that Zhou Mingyuan was rich and capable.

But Du Jianuo has seen all kinds of rich and good-looking junior students.

Every time you just give him a slight beckoning, the other person will take the initiative to show his affection.

She even developed a kind of path dependence.

This time was the same. After releasing some availability, she expected Zhou Mingyuan to proactively provide advanced legal services.

I was really too lazy to read it, so I asked him to explain the contract word by word and page by page before convincing me to sign it.

Isn’t it easy to control the little boy?
"Hurry up, junior~"

Du Jianuo suddenly felt playful and stretched out his right foot, tapping the boy's trouser leg with the tip of his toes outside the thin strap.

However, he seemed to have no intention of accepting the challenge and just looked at him with a half-smile.

"Nono~"

Then, like Du Jianuo, he deliberately lengthened the address.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand and unceremoniously put his arm around the girl's waist.

"As for the contract, I understand if you're not interested in reading it."

The next second, he exerted force with his left hand and pulled Du Jianuo, who was already very close to him, into his arms, looking down at him from above.

"But don't be confused."

He tapped Du Jianuo's nose and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Sign it or not, no one is asking you to."

"Let me explain to you in person, do you know how much I'm worth per hour in consulting fees?"

"what"

The social distance was easily broken, and the man's angular face was right in front of her. Du Jianuo was so confused that she stood there.

wrong
This is different from what I imagined.

Something is wrong!

"Do you want to listen? If you do, just pay the interest."

Zhou Mingyuan didn't give her any time to react. He let Du Jianuo's breathing become heavier and heavier. Her body arched back in his arms and she gradually lost her balance.

He lowered his head and slowly moved closer.

"This can't be right!"

His mind was still processing what it meant to collect interest, when he saw Zhou Mingyuan getting closer and closer, Du Jianuo struggled left and right, and suddenly realized what was going to happen.

With her arms held firmly, the girl instinctively closed her eyes.

But a few seconds later, instead of the further action he had imagined, Du Jianuo felt a gentle breeze on his cheek, and his long eyelashes trembled constantly.

"Don't play with fire. You'll get burned if you do."

The man was serious, distanced himself from her, and tapped her nose again.

"."

Du Jianuo lowered his head, bit his lips, his cheeks suddenly turned red, and his emotions were surging.

It's over.

It turns out that the one being controlled is me.

"Is such that."

Zhou Mingyuan twirled the pen in his hand, straightened his back, and got down to business.

Strangely, Du Jianuo was still sitting in the seat closest to him, listening attentively.

"The agreement between the MCN company and the anchor should first be based on protecting the common interests of both parties."

“How can we protect the rights of anchors?”

Zhou Mingyuan pointed to the contract in his hand and continued.

"The anchor sets up a company, which is jointly owned by your parent company MCN and the anchor."

"This company will be used to operate personal accounts or IPs in the future. Both parties will contribute capital, with the parent company holding 70% and the anchor holding 30%. For example, the company's registered capital is 30 yuan."

"Wait."

Du Jianuo was stunned for a moment and raised his hand to interrupt.

“What if the anchor has no money?”

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. It can be deducted from the anchor's dividends, commissions, and bonuses until the registration capital is fully replenished."

Zhou Mingyuan explained with a smile: "Many people give shares to anchors right from the start, and once they do, they kill the company."

"This is the first step in the cooperation to ensure trust. Both parties must jointly invest and both parties must contribute money. There is no question of dry shares."

"Then, we categorize anchors into Category A, Category B, and Category C."

"You can't just give out dividends without a salary. You have to have a basic salary to ensure your living."

"After that, I will guarantee you an annual salary based on your level and allocate corresponding resources. For example, what kind of car I will provide you with, what kind of benefits I will provide you with, how many assistants I will assign you, and what level of assistants they will be assigned will all be agreed upon in our agreement."

The more Du Jianuo listened, the more excited he became: "Is there such a treatment?"

"Don't be impatient yet."

Zhou Mingyuan waved his hand.

"But this agreement wasn't signed between you and the parent company above you. It was signed by an agency next to your main operating company. Sign an agency contract first."

"So, there are two legal relationships between Jieyou Media and the anchor: the first is a shareholder partnership, with a 70:30 split. The second is a brokerage contract."

"This is why?"

At this point, Du Jianuo blinked his big eyes, feeling a little dizzy.

"The two companies have two different legal relationships in order to achieve equal shares but different pay."

Zhou Mingyuan said patiently, "Suppose we set a target of 50. This year, this anchor needs to bring the company 50 in turnover and 10 in profit."

"After reaching the target, the profit sharing ratio for the year will be adjusted to 40% for the anchor and 60% for the main company."

"I hold 70% of the shares, but I only get 60% of the profits; the anchor holds 30% of the shares but gets 40% of the profits. This is called unequal pay for equal shares."

"When the account reaches a certain stage of operation, the share ratio will gradually increase until it exceeds the 50% dividing line. For example, the anchor will get 70% and our main operating company will get 30%." "Is that so?"

Du Jianuo bit her lower lip lightly, circled her hair with her fingertips, and nodded as if she understood.

"Have you noticed? Only through this method can a virtuous cycle be formed between the two parties. When the anchor's dividend ratio reaches 70% and the main company's share reaches 30%, then the main company is essentially theirs."

"Human beings can only become more energetic if they work for themselves."

"But if the company always owns 70% and the anchor owns 30%, the anchor will always feel like he's working for you, right?"

"Uh-huh."

This time Du Jianuo understood.

"As your wings grow stronger and your fame grows, the temptations outside will become greater and greater. Of course, you will choose to leave me and go out on your own."

"You can't say that."

The new anchor's voice is getting smaller and smaller.

"So this kind of contract setup is a win-win situation. The more you do, the higher the turnover profit you create, and the greater the profit you make to the parent company."

Zhou Mingyuan snapped his fingers and finished his explanation with a smile.

"Professional, Zhou Lu is so professional!"

This time the name is not sarcastic.

If it weren't for the explanation, you really wouldn't understand. Du Jianuo was truly convinced.

No matter how old Zhou Mingyuan is, his mind, methods and conversation are all extremely mature!
of course
He also seems to be quite skilled in relationships between men and women.

Just based on the effortless sense of distance just now, I had to admit it.

He is so good at it.

“Professionalism is only one aspect.”

"Just like those MCNs at Tianyu Media, they don't understand or know how to do it. Furthermore, just having the structure alone is useless; you also need supporting agreements."

Zhou Mingyuan spread out his hands with an expression that showed he had everything under control.

These things are only considered novel in the MCN field. In fact, they are all left over from the past games between these brokerage companies, celebrities, and artists.

"That's why I'm drawing up these six agreements."

"The first is the 'Equity Structure Design Plan'. It is necessary to clearly stipulate how the equity structure between the company and the anchor will be established."

To prevent and resolve major risks, don’t become like Li Ziqi or Viya Xueli.

"The second one is the Shareholders Agreement of the project subsidiary. This one needs no explanation."

Shareholder agreement between MCN and anchor.

"Third, I'll set up another company and sign a 'Streamer Agency Contract' with you."

"The fourth one is very important."

Zhou Mingyuan paused and looked at Du Jianuo's expression.

"You need to sign an 'Intellectual Property Ownership Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement', which specifies who owns the account, who owns the intellectual property, and what confidentiality obligations you assume."

"Do I still need to keep it a secret?"

Du Jianuo's mouth opened into an O shape.

"I took on a case where a company's top anchor left and took away all the company's materials, accounts, and even trade secrets."

"We must not make the same mistake again."

Zhou Mingyuan stretched out a finger and shook it left and right.

"You are too cautious."

At this moment, Du Jianuo had almost forgotten that Zhou Mingyuan was his junior.

The midday sun cut through the window shadows and shone obliquely on Zhou Mingyuan's face, making him look as if he were radiant.

When a man is doing science popularization seriously, his look has a filter that makes it hard not to like him.

"The fifth one is the Dynamic Equity Agreement and Dynamic Dividend Agreement."

This is not difficult to understand. You get dividends based on your output, and you hold shares based on your output.

Zhou Mingyuan continued.

"The last one is called the Reverse Stock Acquisition Agreement."

"That is to say, one day, as the anchor, you hold 70% and I hold 30%. But when I attract investment, sell it in a package, and enter the capital market, I will in turn buy back your 70% stake, allowing you to cash out and make money with me."

"Can you understand?"

The man raised his fingers and tapped Du Jianuo's forehead with his eyebrows raised, looking like an older brother who was teaching and answering questions.

"Ah huh."

Du Jianuo didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

From aura to cognition, it has been completely suppressed.

"Making money from capital?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Du Jianuo reacted, raised his chin, and tidied up the flying hair on his temples.

Although I haven't earned any coins yet, it sounds so great.

Is this still the MCN company that I understand?
"Will have the opportunity next time."

Zhou Mingyuan smiled and said, "Just listen to these things."

"Don't think what I'm saying is simple. The process I'm describing is supported by a series of structures and legal provisions."

"Every step and clause here must be handled very carefully to form a closed loop."

"There's a reason why I'm telling you this."

"Eh, what's the reason?"

Du Jianuo held his chin and looked over blankly.

"I told you last time that Tianyu Media is cutting corners on the anchor's contract, and this matter isn't over yet."

The man leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs leisurely, and spoke slowly.

"Publishing articles in Legal Daily and Jiangcheng Daily, with only a bland criticism, do you think it will truly promote progress in the industry?"

“This is just the beginning of a win-win situation.”

"Next step. If I'm not mistaken."

"The Redwood District Court will hold a symposium with businesses and issue judicial recommendations to several media companies within its jurisdiction. They will certainly respond positively and take corresponding rectification and optimization measures."

Du Jianuo sat on the side, blinking in confusion, feeling like his brain was about to shut down.

What is win-win?

What is judicial advice?

Oh my god, it's so complicated.

"When the relevant news comes out, you can go with He Min."

Zhou Mingyuan stood in the sun and stretched lazily.

"What are you going for?"

The girl also stood up and looked at his back.

"He Min, of course, represents Mingli Company. You, on the other hand, represent the victimized female anchor. Once you've been on Jiangcheng News, it should have spread everywhere by now. Everyone in the industry will surely have heard of you."

"You two go visit these media companies."

Zhou Mingyuan turned around and put his arms on Du Jianuo's shoulders with an expression of trust and sincerity on his face.

"Senior, this task is left to you."

"Why hand it over to me?"

Du Jianuo still didn't understand.

"Take this ultimate enhanced win-win anchor MCN contract template from me."

A stack of A4 papers with explanations appeared in Du Jianuo's palm.

"Then, sell them at a high price!"

The rule of law requires not only addressing existing problems at the end, but also preventing them from occurring. To achieve this goal, judicial organs have gradually expanded their responsibilities from end-to-end governance to front-end governance in recent years, further highlighting the crucial role courts play in preventing disputes in social governance. Judicial recommendations are an effective way to resolve conflicts and achieve flexible governance. They address emerging issues and potential problems by issuing them to relevant departments, industries, and organizations, aiming to diagnose and prevent them before they occur.
