While Yang Hua was preparing the materials in the kitchen, Han Jiayi ran upstairs to complain to Bai Renzong.

"Look at that person!" Han Jiayi pointed at Yang Hua and said dissatisfiedly, "As soon as he came, he occupied other people's kitchens, making him look like his own home! I have prepared lunch ingredients for you!"

"It's okay. He made the Buddha jump over the wall and it wouldn't be done well for a while." Bai Renzong comforted, and then observed Yang Hua at the kitchen door curiously.

Although it is a traditional Chinese food like Buddha Jumping the Wall, Yang Hua is still very skillful in processing, such as duck legs, pork claws, pork belly blanched, dried abalone, and dried sea cucumbers soaked, then stir-fry what should be fried, cook what should be cooked, and steam what should be steamed. Everything is in order.

Buddha Jumping over the wall is very troublesome. On the one hand, there are many materials, and on the other hand, the treatment method of each material is different. Finally, mix all the materials and simmer together for more than five hours.

At this time, Yang Hua also put all kinds of ingredients into the clay pot and then added some white wine.

"This wine is the key," Yang Hua said, covering the lid, "Then it will be simmered for six hours."

He looked at the time and continued, "I will come back to see the situation at five o'clock in the afternoon."

Speaking of this, Yang Hua pointed at Han Jiayi and scolded: "I warn you not to tamper with my Buddha's footsteps!"

"No! This is for Lao Bai to eat, how could I do anything!" Han Jiayi gave him an angrily blank look.

"It's better!" Yang Hua snorted coldly, then turned to Bai Renzong and smiled: "Xiaobai, bear with it, and you can drink it when I come again in the afternoon."

"Well, I'm not really a big deal..." Bai Renzong nodded, but Yang Hua came forward and pressed his shoulder, and seriously threw down the words "Take care!" and hurriedly pushed the door and left. It was obvious that he was in the restaurant that was urgent. After all, the kitchen of Lanwafang was completely centered on Yang Hua, unlike Yijiaxuan and Su Hui, the acting chef.

"If I hadn't seen him treat you sincerely, I would have..." Han Jiayi said, and gestured fiercely that he twisted his neck, looking like a ruthless little cat.

"So cute..." Bai Renzong touched Han Jiayi's head and smiled.

"You go upstairs to rest!" Han Jiayi pushed Bai Renzong toward the building, "I'm going to make lunch for you."

In the afternoon, Yang Hua came over to finish the Buddha's jump over the wall, and then hurried back to Lanwafang. Obviously, Lanwafang's business is indeed very good today.

But what really surprised Bai Renzong was Yang Hua's Buddha Jumping over the wall, which was much more authentic than the Buddha Jumping over the wall he had eaten outside. The Buddha Jumping over the wall in the Yuchenfang was a joke compared to this.

I don’t know where Yang Hua learned how to jump over the wall from this hand Buddha. Blue Ribbon Academy? It’s unlikely...

The advertising effect of Bai Renzong for Yijiaxuan and Lanwafang is gradually improving, which is particularly effective for Yijiaxuan. After all, Yijiaxuan's price is relatively affordable, and the full table of meat satisfies the diners' pursuit of affordability. On the evening of December 28th, not only was the store full, but there were more than 30 people in the queue.

After resting in the past two days, Bai Renzong also felt that his mental state was much better, but December was coming to an end.

So in the last few days at the end of the month, Bai Renzong took two business deals and then made up for the live broadcast time, and December ended like this.

On January 1st, it is still the usual dinner party at the beginning of every month.

"Come on, happy New Year." Li Mohan raised his cup with a smile, "I hope our Lao He is getting better and better, and I hope everything goes well in Bai Qiangwei Studio. In the new year, everyone will be healthy."

"Old He's complexion is indeed much better." Han Jiayi said with interest.

Although He Guang is still sitting in a wheelchair now, his body looks much stronger. He is not as huddled in a wheelchair like when he first saw him, and he can only rely on the wheelchair to support his body.

Now He Guang can sit upright and his legs can move. The most important thing is that he has become much more energetic and occasionally a smile can be seen on his face.

Bai Renzong was also very pleased to see that this family was getting better and better.

"Our old man is quite arrogant, so he doesn't have many friends. Since he got sick, you are the ones who are still in contact with each other." Li Mohan sighed, "So, to your sister-in-law, you are like real family members. Whether you work in the same studio or not in the future, I hope you can continue to maintain the same contact you are now."

"Absolutely, sister-in-law." Bai Renzong replied with a smile, "The studio may not be able to keep working, but it is guaranteed to have such a dinner at least once a month."

"That's good, that's good." Li Mohan smiled with relief.

At this time, Wang Bei suddenly interrupted: "Okay, okay, I should say something happy in the New Year. Let's talk about the income from last month? Last month, because they were mainly helping Yijiaxuan and Lanwafang to develop Christmas packages, the frequency of videos dropped significantly, but! The issue of the Christmas package reviews of the three restaurants was on the homepage, and the popularity was particularly high!"

"So what is the profit?" Han Jiayi pinched Wang Bei's ear, "Don't keep it a secret every time you are a girl."

"Oh, Sister Jiayi, this is the highlight of every month! Can you stop interrupting me?" Wang Bei said coquettishly, then adjusted for a while, and continued: "So, the studio's income this month is..."

Wang Bei cleared his throat and smiled proudly, "Four,260,000!"

"So much!" Han Jiayi was stunned for the first time, and then came to her senses: "Oh——! The live broadcast income has arrived."

The live broadcast for a quarter has ended, so the live broadcast revenue of the Maowu platform has also been distributed.

The basic salary for three months is 3 million, plus the share of the gift income, which is about 3.5 million. This gift flow seems to be a lot, but the 100,000 of them were made by them to collect the gift flow. The remaining part comes from the gift flow on the day they just started broadcasting.

Like Prince Jiuxuan, who had worked with before, because of the excellent cooperation effect, he came to the live broadcast room to send a gift of 10,000 yuan.

Even the manager of the deaf and mute hotpot restaurant Bai Renzong recommended before came to send a "luxury cathouse" to thank him, saying that Qipinju is now overcrowded every day.

"Hehe, make a fortune." Wang Bei smiled proudly, "Everyone makes a fortune together!"

"Mumu, let's make more than 2 million yuan at once!" Bai Renzong said happily, "There is still two million yuan to deduct personal income tax."

Because Han Jiayi was busy with restaurants last month and had hardly participated in live broadcasts and videos, 60% of the income was his, but he no longer cared about this. He and Han Jiayi would become a family sooner or later, and there was no need to be so detailed.

"Congratulations, I finally made money." Han Jiayi smiled and touched his head, "My restaurant's profits have also increased in the past few months."

According to the final statistics, starting from July, Bai Renzong's total income this year was deducted by 2.5 million yuan after tax, while Han Jiayi received more than 600,000 yuan, and He Guang and Wang Bei also had more than 400,000 yuan.

This money will surely allow everyone in the studio to have a good New Year.

"Why is Xiaobai planning to spend this money?" He Guang asked with a smile.

"Save it first." Bai Renzong sighed, "I feel that there are quite a lot, but in fact I can't even afford a house."

"Isn't I still there?" Han Jiayi gently hit him with her elbow on the side, and asked with a smile, "Work together."

"It's right." Bai Renzong hugged Han Jiayi's shoulder and pulled her into his arms. "Next year, everyone will work hard together?"

"Work hard! Make a lot of money!" Wang Bei smiled happily, and everyone clinked their glasses again.

2020 is here.

On January 2, the first thing Bai Renzong did was to bring Wang Bei, Han Jiayi and their legal counsel to Yu Yang, the head of live broadcast operation of Maowu, and prepare to renegotiate the contract remuneration.

After all, compared to the 12 million contract that year, Bai Renzong's popularity is no longer the same as before.

The headquarters of Maowu Platform is in Beichang City, so Bai Renzong used to be quite convenient.

"Well, this is a new contract, please take a look?" Yu Yang did not beat around the bush and handed over the new contract directly.

Bai Renzong first asked their legal counsel to take a look and confirmed that there were no illegal overlord clauses.

"There is no big problem. What should be noted is that if there are serious breach of contract such as job change, you will need to compensate twice the penalty for compensation." After careful reading, the lawyer explained in a low voice to Bai Renzong.

Bai Renzong nodded, then looked directly at the final basic salary of the contract, which was "two five million".

Bai Renzong smiled slightly and handed the contract back: "Brother Yang, it's not that I am a person who forgets my righteousness when it comes to profit. You know, the kennel was 15 million, but I still come to you."

"Yes, yes, we also know that this is your trust in our platform, but we have also invested a lot of resources in you. Otherwise, even if you have the foundation of a UP host, the live broadcast popularity will not be so fast, right?" Yu Yang nodded and smiled, "In this way, if you have any requirements, just ask. As long as it is reasonable, we will definitely find a way to satisfy you."

Bai Renzong sneered in his heart: It sounds so nice...

In fact, this is a common trick of live broadcast platforms, and it is said that the investment of resources that are rightfully needed is a gift.

But in fact, the reason why the live broadcast platform gives him resources to promote it is because he proves his value and proves that he is worth investing. Otherwise, the live broadcast platform will not do good deeds for no reason.

The ZB family has this kind of virtue. They always say that "labor income" is a matter of self-mercy, so that Bai Renzong will not be deceived.

Therefore, Bai Renzong replied bluntly: "Oh, there is no requirement, it's just the live broadcast reward. It's not that I'm greedy, my popularity is much higher than that at that time. Most of this popularity comes from my videos on D Station, and you should know it in your mind. In fact, the kennel platform has contacted me before and offered me a price. The price given by others is 42 million a year."

Although Yu Yang's face was quiet, Bai Renzong knew that he had been a little shaken: After all, the price difference was too big.

Of course, Bai Renzong also used some tricks. The kennel did contact him at the end of December and said that he would issue a contract of 42 million a year, but the requirements remain unchanged. He and Han Jiayi must appear at the same time for more than 70%.

In other words, he and Han Jiayi were signed for 42 million...

But the cat house didn't know about this! So Bai Renzong could naturally use it as a bargaining chip.

"That, I don't need to remind you that you are illegally changing jobs, so you need to compensate me, right?" Yu Yang said with a smile without a smile, looking fearless.

Bai Renzong narrowed his right eye and looked at Yu Yang's attributes. "Pursuit of careful calculations" accounted for 30%, "bullying the weak and afraid of the strong" accounted for 23%, and "loving money like life" accounted for 18%.

After reading the attributes, Bai Renzong knew that he had to be tougher.

"I know." Bai Renzong nodded, "I'll calculate it for you. My current contract is still 12 million a year. Even if we change jobs in violation of regulations, according to the contract, we will pay twice the compensation according to the remaining contract period, that is, 18 million. For tentatively, we will have 24 million more, right? Your new contract is only 25 million..."

When Bai Renzong said this, he showed a embarrassed expression, meaning: It’s not that I don’t talk about feelings, but they really gave too much.

The smile on Yu Yang's face disappeared, obviously thinking about whether this account was worth it or not.

Bai Renzong is still very clear about the unspoken rules in the live broadcast circle.

If he chooses to continue live broadcasting on Maowu platform until his one-year contract expires, and then go to the kennel, then Maowu platform will choose manual control during the next live broadcast period, suppressing him by reducing resource investment and maliciously banning live broadcast rooms. The purpose is to reduce his popularity and traffic and make the network gradually forget him.

When Bai Renzong switched to the kennel, his popularity would be far less than that when he was on the Cat House platform, which not only reduced his own losses, but also reduced the returns of his competitors.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of trick that harms others and does not benefit oneself.

But this set of conversations with Bai Renzong is not working because he has the main business of UP host. Even if he doesn't broadcast live, the videos from UP host can maintain his traffic and the revenue can also support the studio's operation.

So Bai Renzong knew that he could never choose to broadcast live in Maowu silently until the contract ended before changing his boss, but instead expressed his tough attitude of "either give a reasonable price or change jobs."

Bai Renzong didn’t say that the offer price must be higher than the kennel, at least it cannot be much different, right?

It’s acceptable to get more than 30 million, 25 million... It’s a bit like sucking bones and marrow.

"I will discuss this with the superiors again, how many days will it take." Yu Yang replied with a smile, "You can go back first today."
Chapter completed!
