Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 400: One Sponsored Post, 500 Yuan

Chen Yiyang listened to Chen Gao’s explanation and felt that Chen Gao made a lot of sense.

Bone conduction headphones are indeed a huge market.

At this stage, bone conduction headphones, like new energy vehicles, have significant shortcomings compared to traditional headphones and vehicles.

However, they have enormous application scenarios in specific environments.

What’s more important is that the traditional headphone powers have no intention of entering the bone conduction headphone market right now.

If Shaoyin can seize this market in advance, it will be difficult for those big-brand headphone manufacturers to enter and capture the market later on.

"I’m willing to invest." After confirming the future prospects of bone conduction headphones, Chen Yiyang stood up and shook hands with Chen Gao.

The next day, Chen Yiyang rarely had some leisure time to stroll outside.

Then he saw someone calling him on his phone with an unknown number.

Chen Yiyang initially thought it was some kind of nuisance call and was ready to hang up.

But looking at the number, it seemed like a legitimate personal phone number, so he thought for a moment and decided to answer.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I wonder if you still remember me. I’m Sui Pei."

Sui Pei?

Chen Yiyang quickly recalled, this was the food broadcaster he met in Thailand.

"I remember, I remember. What’s up?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"Do you have time to have a meal together? There’s something I want to consult with you."

"No problem, you’re the food blogger, pick a place."

Chen Yiyang didn’t have any objections to meeting Sui Pei. After all, a food blogger should choose a restaurant with good taste.

When they talk, it will be more relaxed and less guarded.

So after receiving the address from Sui Pei, Chen Yiyang went by car.

"It’s a pity." Chen Yiyang said after sitting in the restaurant, "I have a friend who’s a foodie, but this time she didn’t come to the Imperial Capital with me, otherwise I would definitely bring her to try the restaurant recommended by a top food blogger like you."

"There will be opportunities in the future." Sui Pei smiled and said.

This time, Sui Pei only brought one person with him, the Xiao Li whom Chen Yiyang had met once before.

After all three had sat down, Chen Yiyang first asked, "You called me because you want to change your MCN company?"

"Yes, my contract with the original company is about to expire, but after discussing with Xiao Li, we decided not to sign with another MCN company. We plan to go out on our own."

"Why did you think so?" Chen Yiyang was a bit puzzled. "According to what you’ve said before, you and Xiao Li basically handle the video scripts.

But if you go out on your own, dealing with business orders and finding resources, two people are obviously not enough."

"The main reason is that the MCN company’s commission is too harsh." Sui Pei considered and continued, "For instance, previously, we only got five hundred yuan from a business order. I think independently, we could take fewer business orders but at least keep all the money."

"A business order for fifty thousand sounds pretty okay." Chen Yiyang instinctively replied after hearing what Sui Pei said.

But Sui Pei quickly corrected, "It’s five hundred."

"Wait, how much, five hundred?!" Chen Yiyang was stunned.

"Yes, five hundred." Sui Pei emphasized.

"A blogger of your scale should surely get several tens of thousands of yuan per business order. The company only gives you five hundred?!"

"That’s about right, because when I signed, I hadn’t started in this field yet, so I didn’t think there was any problem with the contract back then."

"You definitely shouldn’t sign with the company again." Chen Yiyang was somewhat amused and incredulous.

He truly was seeing for the first time a blogger with millions of followers who gets five hundred yuan per business order from a company contract.

That’s basically working for free!

"So what did you come to me for this time?"

"Mainly to consult on whether, after our contract with the previous MCN company expires, creating a new account would violate the non-compete agreement."

Sui Pei sought out Chen Yiyang mainly because he had an MCN company, having signed several top bloggers, and surely had professional legal staff. Chen Yiyang only needed to consult with them about such issues.

But after hearing Su Pei’s query, Chen Yiyang didn’t call his legal staff.

After establishing that MCN company, he hadn’t been too concerned yet studied the legal aspects for some time.

So he asked Sui Pei, "Did you sign an employment relationship contract or a non-employment relationship contract?"

"Let me check." Sui Pei found a previously saved contract photo on his phone and then replied, "It’s a non-employment relationship contract, my relationship with the MCN company is a brokerage contract."

"Then basically, there shouldn’t be any issue." Chen Yiyang told Sui Pei, "The Labor Law currently stipulates that non-compete agreements generally only apply to senior management, senior technical personnel, and those with confidentiality obligations who signed employment relationships."

"Does that mean the non-compete agreement in the contract that Su Pei signed with the MCN company is invalid?" Xiao Li interjected at this moment.

"It’s not entirely accurate to say that." Chen Yiyang thought and replied, "Clearly defined regulations must be followed legally, but those that are not explicitly stated might still require adherence."

Chen Yiyang felt his words were too abstract, so he explained more practically, "Regarding whether to comply with non-compete clauses within non-employment cooperative relationships since there are no explicit legal provisions, it remains disputed currently.

Once while chatting with our company’s legal personnel, they mentioned local courts are fifty-fifty on the stance towards non-compete agreements signed between influencers and MCN companies.

Among all the cases, forty-three percent deemed non-compete agreements valid, while forty-seven percent judged them invalid.

This means whether you’ll breach the non-compete agreement upon contract termination and going solo depends on the local court’s stance."

"Oh, I see." Su Pei and Xiao Li’s faces showed slight gloom over their initial joyful expressions.

If they meet a local court ruling that declares the non-compete agreement valid, it might complicate their independence afterward.

Seeing their expressions, Chen Yiyang considered his current live-streaming sales company lacked a food blogger for occasionally recommending food products.

So he suggested, "If you want to go independent, you can avoid signing with my company, but we can collaborate."

"How would collaboration work?" Sui Pei seemed intrigued.

"At least once a month livestream and sell goods in my live-streaming sales company. Payment will be divided according to that day’s live-streaming sales performance, and my legal team can also provide you with legal assistance."
