Chapter 94

"Team Attributes:

Team Name: Starry Sky

Captain: Su Yuhao

Vice Captains: Jin Rixuan, Liu Zai Shi

Members: None"

The content was so straightforward that it was easy to understand its function at a glance. However, precisely because of this, Su Yuhao always felt that this panel was not as simple as it seemed.

"What's really going on with this panel? What else can it do? It can't just be for seeing the specific number of people in the company." Su Yuhao frowned, staring at the simple content, constantly guessing the specific function of the panel.

For some reason, Su Yuhao always felt that this team interface was very important, but at the moment, he didn't know how to use it. Although he had three rights to request a system explanation, he didn't want to use them for this. He wanted to uncover the mystery on his own. Therefore, he began to recall the scene when he first activated the team attributes.

After a moment of thought, Su Yuhao believed that joining the team required signing a contract. So, if he wanted to know the information of the members, would he need their consent? But how could he get their consent?

"Ah, how do I check the attributes of the members? Do I have to do it in front of them? System, can't you give me a response or at least a hint? Why are you always like this!" Whenever he couldn't think of a solution, Su Yuhao couldn't help but complain about the system. This wasn't the first time; since he started using the system, he always found himself complaining. Why? Because he always felt that the system was vastly different from what he had imagined. It was more like a real-world data representation. Apart from some household appliances, it could only provide information about his and others' relationships. Beyond that, it seemed to serve no other purpose. Instead, with each update, it left him with countless questions to ponder and think about. Moreover, it never took the initiative to explain anything. When he was at a loss, it would simply ask, "Do you want to use your system explanation rights?" This often left him speechless, which was why he would occasionally complain.

"Thinking is not as good as doing. It's the perfect opportunity since I have to conduct the selection process. I don't believe I can't figure out such a simple problem without your explanation, System." Su Yuhao encouraged himself, looking at his phone. He had long since gotten used to treating his phone as a substitute for the system.

August 24th, sunny, no wind, high temperature, unsuitable for travel.

On such a day, Su Yuhao had to go out to continue his work. Even though Liu Zai Shi was taking a break today, he still had to work because today was the day of the scheduled interviews, the first step in expanding the company.

Soon after reaching the building, Jin Rixuan drove up to Su Yuhao. This was as agreed, as Su Yuhao had no experience in recruitment, making Jin Rixuan the most suitable person for the job, given his long experience in the industry. Today's assessment would be conducted by Jin Rixuan, who would evaluate professional skills, while Su Yuhao would assess character, qualities, and other aspects.

"Brother Rixuan, good morning!" Su Yuhao greeted Jin Rixuan cheerfully as he got into the car.

"Good morning. Have all the candidates for the interviews been notified?" Jin Rixuan nodded and began his work process.

"Yes, here are the profiles of the candidates we're interviewing today. We're mainly recruiting five people: a manager, a makeup artist, a stylist, a personal assistant, and a company assistant." Su Yuhao, who was used to Jin Rixuan, didn't beat around the bush and directly introduced the day's work.

"Manager? Looks like you're planning to sign a second artist?" Jin Rixuan敏锐地察觉到了苏 Yuhao's intentions and began to inquire.

"Yes, I'm planning to sign some new talents. While this won't immediately boost our company's reputation, it will be beneficial for our future business expansion. Moreover, we can't always rely on Brother Zai Shi to generate profits for the company." Su Yuhao nodded calmly.

"Good, your thinking shows that you're maturing. It's a good approach. Actually, we could recruit more promising new talents this time, which would save us the trouble of constantly replenishing new members." Jin Rixuan suggested.

"However, our company's current situation might not support that. Brother, you know we don't have much capital. If we sign too many new talents, we might collapse early!" Su Yuhao said with some concern. He had thought about this issue before. He wanted to recruit a batch of people so he could expand his operations, but ultimately, the lack of funds froze his plans.

"No, we may not have money, but we can achieve this without spending much." Jin Rixuan shook his head and continued, "Actually, the treatment for new talents isn't as high as you think. Remember, this is Korea, not China. The salaries for new talents are pitifully low, and while managers' salaries aren't low, they live off the artists' share of earnings. So, even if we manage the managers, we can still have the artists sign profit-sharing contracts with them. This way, we can pay them without salaries." Jin Rixuan explained, having been through this himself.

"No salary? Can managers work like that? What kind of profit-sharing ratio do they have with the artists?" Su Yuhao asked, puzzled.

"You haven't experienced this yet, so let me explain. In Korea, the relationship between management companies, managers, and artists is such that the highest profit-sharing ratio between a management company and an artist is 50-50. As for managers and management companies, they appear to be in a subordinate relationship, but it's not that simple. Once a manager and an artist reach a cooperation agreement, the manager effectively becomes independent, though they are bound by a confidentiality contract with the management company. However, there is no economic relationship between them. At this point, the manager's salary is provided by the artist. The typical profit-sharing ratio between a manager and an artist is 70-30 for top artists, but for new artists, it can be as high as 30-70." Jin Rixuan explained to Su Yuhao.

"What? Why is the profit-sharing ratio so high for new artists? It seems very unfair to the artists! They work hard but can't keep most of their earnings. This..." Su Yuhao said, surprised.

"What's unfair about it? This is Korea! Or rather, this situation exists in any country. New artists are like 'three-no' products. Even if they have potential, they need investment before they can succeed. Management companies invest in their packaging, promotion, and future planning, while managers provide personal services, arrange schedules, and promote them through their networks. All of this comes at a cost!" Jin Rixuan said matter-of-factly.

Hearing Jin Rixuan's words, Su Yuhao fell silent. Although he had known that Korean artists' earnings were low, he now realized just how low they were.

Su Yuhao turned to look out the window, gazing at the posters of celebrities on the building, feeling a deep sense of pity.
