I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!-Chapter 53 - Joining the Guild_1

Half an hour passed, and all three stopped eating, completely satisfied.

The table was littered with lobster shells and pigeon bones, and even the vegetables were completely finished.

“Burp!

It’s really too good!” Chen Yuyan burped contentedly, then sighed with appreciation.

“Haha, Shen Dong, Yuyan, whenever you want to eat something delicious, just give me a call.

I’ll take you out, guaranteeing no repeats and that it’s absolutely delicious,” Li Kaiyao laughed.

“By the way, Yao, how’s the short video thing going?” Shen Dong asked after taking a sip of tea.

“Not too well, sharing supercars only attracted a small number of people, and it’s been difficult to increase the number of followers.

I’ve thought of some strategies these past few days, tried some pick-up scenarios, but they didn’t have any noticeable effect.”

“I originally thought that every man dreams of supercars, so sharing them should attract a lot of followers, but it didn’t turn out that way.”

“It seems this industry is really quite deep; I haven’t managed to grasp its pulse yet,” said Li Kaiyao shaking his head, a bit dejected.

“Yao, actually short videos aren’t that hard to do.

It’s not difficult to go viral; you just haven’t found the right direction,” Shen Dong said with a smile.

“Shen Dong, have you studied this?” Li Kaiyao asked incredulously.

He couldn’t afford to take Shen Dong’s words lightly.

After all, Shen Dong had made tens of millions in the futures market and then tens of millions more in the antiques market.

At a young age, he had made a fortune in two major fields.

Moreover, Li Kaiyao had witnessed Shen Dong appraising Zhou Chengyu’s vase himself.

His demeanor was like that of many seasoned masters of antique appraisals.

Zhou Chengyu later told him that he sought out master appraisers for an evaluation, and their verdicts matched Shen Dong’s.

This showed the depth of Shen Dong’s expertise in appraising antiques.

If Shen Dong said his short videos were not on the right track, it was definitely worth paying attention to.

Maybe with just a few pointers from Shen Dong, he could find the right direction, and his short videos would go viral.

“Yes,” Shen Dong nodded and said, “After you mentioned short videos to me last time, I started researching them.

In fact, I’ve also established a company and a guild.”

“What?

You’ve set up a company and a guild?

Are you entering the field of short videos?” Li Kaiyao was stunned.

“Yes,” Shen Dong nodded again, seriously saying, “Yao, I’d like to invite you to join my guild.

I’m confident that I can turn you into a star who’s popular across the entire network.”

“If you’re willing to join, the guild will split the income fifty-fifty with you.”

Such terms were very generous.

The current split for hosts signed with Dongyan Media was seventy-thirty, with the guild taking seventy and the host taking thirty.

This was the normal ratio for all major guilds, and Shen Dong naturally had no intention of breaking this rule.

However, for certain special hosts, they would raise the income split, like in the case of Li Kaiyao.

It was because of their personal relationship; otherwise, it would be according to the seventy-thirty split.

“Okay, I’ll join,” Li Kaiyao readily agreed after thinking it over.

He got into short video creation because he wanted to try something new, and he believed that if done well, it could make money quickly.

Anyway, it didn’t require much investment, so he could do it however he liked.

Since Shen Dong said he could turn him into an internet sensation, why not trust Shen Dong?

After all, he was going to do it either way.

Moreover, Shen Dong even offered him a generous fifty-fifty split, which could be considered very conscientious.

Although his current following wasn’t large, it was something, and there had been guilds contacting him, wanting him to join.

He inquired and found out all those guilds offered a seventy-thirty revenue share.

“Alright, that’s settled then,” Shen Dong said happily.

He had also thought of some arguments in case Li Kaiyao didn’t agree and was prepared to persuade him thoroughly.

Unexpectedly, Li Kaiyao agreed so readily.

At this point, Chen Yuyan finally understood why Shen Dong had invited Li Kaiyao for a meal.

It was to invite Li Kaiyao to join the Dongyan Guild.

She felt a bit puzzled inside.

How could her husband claim he could make Yao an internet sensation?

Where did this confidence and assurance come from?

She knew well that becoming popular wasn’t something that followed any rules; it wasn’t something that could be achieved just by wanting it.

Harboring such doubts, she didn’t voice them but decided to ask about it when she got back.

“Mr.

Shen, from now on I’ll be counting on you for my meals, haha,” Li Kaiyao laughed.

“Yao, don’t call me Mr.

Shen.

It makes me feel uncomfortable all over.

Just call me by my name, otherwise, I can’t communicate with you normally,” Shen Dong said with a wry smile.

“Alright then,” Li Kaiyao naturally had no objections.

“Yao, if you’re free tomorrow, come to my company to sign the contract.

Once it’s signed, I’ll arrange for you to shoot a new video.

I can guarantee that as long as you make this video, you’ll definitely become a bit famous,” Shen Dong said.

“No problem.

Where is our company located?” Li Kaiyao asked.

“It’s on the twentieth floor of Fuli Building, Dongyan Cultural Media Co., Ltd.,” Shen Dong replied.

“Great, I’ll be there at nine tomorrow,” Li Kaiyao nodded.

Seeing Shen Dong so confident, saying that shooting a brand new short video could make him a bit famous, he was truly looking forward to what Shen Dong would have him shoot tomorrow.

After finalizing the arrangement, Li Kaiyao inquired about the company’s situation.

As a new employee of the company, it was necessary to understand the company’s background.

Shen Dong briefly explained the situation.

“I really didn’t expect you to be so decisive, directly acquiring a guild, especially in Jing City,” Li Kaiyao exclaimed.

It seemed that Shen Dong was really optimistic about the development of short video platforms.

He had a very resolute character; once he saw potential in something, he went for it without any hesitation.

Closing in on nine o’clock, the three of them left the restaurant.

The meal had cost eight thousand yuan.

The grilled lobster was the main expense.

Expensive as it was, it was all worth it in the end.

Signing Li Kaiyao, a host who was likely to become very popular, what was eight thousand yuan?

He would be able to earn it back quickly.

Just as they walked out, Li Kaiyao received a phone call, telling Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan that he needed to go back and take care of some business in the store, and left in a hurry.

Shen Dong’s Porsche was parked a bit further away, and he started walking in that direction with Chen Yuyan.

Just then, a voice called out.

“Shen Dong!”

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Dong turned his head and saw Dong Junjie, Chen Yuting’s half-brother from another father and mother.

Dong Junjie was accompanied by three others about his age, whom Shen Dong had never met.
