Ye Qiu, reborn as the King's Avatar, and his younger brother and sister-in-law Su Mucheng

Chapter 148 Endorsements pour in, but the cosmetics endorsements are outrageous!
This kiss lasted for nearly fifteen minutes.

Ye Qiu only let go of Mu Cheng when she was out of breath.

At this moment, Mu Cheng's breath was fragrant, and her face was already flushed pink, making her extremely beautiful.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Ye Qiu still wanted more.

But then Mu Cheng smiled sweetly and said, "Alright, I've given you the reward. You should get up now. I won't bother you any longer."

Watching Su Mucheng turn and leave, Ye Qiu felt somewhat unsatisfied.

After a while, Ye Qiu finally smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "One day, I will completely win over Mu Cheng!"

After getting up and washing up, Ye Qiu arrived at the club.

A short while later, Chen Taohai found Ye Qiu: "You'll be very busy these days."

Chen Taohai had a smile on his face, clearly indicating that good news was coming.

"What are you busy with?" Ye Qiu asked, but he seemed to have already guessed most of it.

"This morning around seven or eight o'clock, I received several calls from people wanting to sponsor our Happy Club and have us endorse their products," Chen Taohai said excitedly.

Logically speaking, at his age, even if it's something to be happy about, he wouldn't show such excitement.

However, after so many years of establishing Happy, this is the first time he has secured a real endorsement deal. As one of the owners of Happy, he was naturally both nervous and excited.

Ye Qiu smiled faintly. Just as he had expected, Happy's commercial value increased after winning the championship.

Previously, they were just small sponsorships, earning a living. Now, they are starting to move into a commercial model, and real commercial endorsements will also be a thing of the past.

"What endorsements do you have?" Ye Qiu asked.

"So far, twelve sponsoring companies have contacted us," Chen Taohai said excitedly.

He was excited because the value of these endorsement contracts was truly tempting!

Ye Qiu chuckled: "What kind of products are they?"

"We have a local Hangzhou clothing brand, Meihang Clothing, as our spokesperson, which costs 150 million yuan a year. They also sponsor all members of our Happy Club with three sets of clothing for each of the four seasons."

"And there's our local Hangzhou beverage company, Haohe Zhenhang, which makes 150 million a year. They'll be bringing over a truckload of Haohe beverages later for us to drink every day."

“Our local Hangzhou computer parts company, Wenhang Computer, spends 150 million yuan a year and sponsors 100 computers and parts for us. Later, someone will come to replace their computer with a new one.”

"Then there are Hangzhou snacks, Hangzhou noodles, Zhenhang shampoo and shower gel, Midea Hangzhou watches, Hangzhou Pretty cosmetics, beauty and health products, etc. The endorsement fee is between 50 and 150 million yuan per year, and the total price for the twelve endorsements is 1550 million yuan!"

Chen Taohai said excitedly.

It's worth noting that last year, their total revenue from league ticket sales was only ten million.

Of these ticket revenues, 30% is taken by the league, 20% is taxed, and 40-50% is used for the teams' daily expenses and venue rentals.

So in the end, less than 10% remained.

In other words, they earned less than one million last year, and with the 400,000 bonus, they barely made one million.

It seems like a lot, but with so many people in the team, if each person splits it equally, it's only about 100,000 yuan.

One hundred thousand yuan a year, less than ten thousand yuan a month.

This is still the treatment of a player who is the overall champion of Honor of Kings.

It's easy to imagine that those teams that didn't win the championship, which already had little popularity and low ticket revenue, were eliminated in the first round.

Whether the money they earn is enough to cover the team's expenses is a question, let alone make any money.

But now, with twelve endorsements totaling 15 million, this money doesn't need to be handed over to Glory headquarters; it only needs to be taxed to the National Taxation Bureau, and the rest belongs to their team. After paying taxes on the 15.5 million, they'll still have about 9 million left.

Of the 900 million, 450 million can go to Happy Club Company, and the remaining 450 million can be distributed to the other members of the team.

Team Happy has a total of eight members, including the owner. Ye Qiu and Su Muqiu each took the lion's share, one million each.

With the remaining 250 million, each of the other members can receive about 20, and the rest of the money will be distributed as bonuses to all members of the club.

People in the online game department work so hard all year round, but they can still get a year-end bonus of one or two thousand or three or five thousand yuan. This can be considered Ye Qiu's way of rewarding his employees.

In short, with these endorsements, Happy Entertainment embarked on the path to profitability.

These twelve endorsements alone can generate several million in net profit for Happy Entertainment in a year, which makes Chen Taohai extremely excited.

After listening to Chen Taohai's words, Ye Qiu couldn't help but laugh: "Uncle Chen, it seems that all the endorsements you've taken on are for local Hangzhou companies. Do you have a special fondness for local Hangzhou companies, or are there no companies from other provinces coming to us for sponsorship?"

"No, that's not it. Actually, sponsors from other provinces have come to me, but I can only help local businesses so that Hangzhou can develop better and better." As a native of Hangzhou, Chen Taohai witnessed the reform and opening up and watched Hangzhou gradually develop from a dilapidated city into the Hangzhou it is today.

As a native of Hangzhou, he wanted to do something for his hometown.

Therefore, when faced with the same brand sponsorship, Chen Taohai prioritizes local brands.

"Other sponsorships are fine, but what do you mean by this beauty and cosmetics company endorsement? There's only one girl in Happy, and she's a tomboy. How come someone is sponsoring our cosmetics?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.

In his mind, cosmetics have always been associated with women.

Apart from Duan Lingxi, the Happy team is full of rough men. They don't even know how to wear makeup, let alone use face wash.

What did the sponsors see in her? Just because of Duan Lingxi, they're willing to sponsor Happy?

"Well," Chen Taohai smiled a little embarrassedly, then continued, "The sponsors want you to wear makeup and endorse their face masks, facial cleansers, and other products. After all, you, especially you and Su Muqiu, are fair-skinned and handsome. If you endorse these products, not only will girls love them, but boys will also secretly buy them for themselves."

"But everyone knows that cosmetics are nothing but self-deception. Things like removing freckles and lightening spots are all fake. Even if those chemical drugs remove the stratum corneum and lighten the spots in a short time, they will still grow back after a while."

"That's true, but consumers are just buying psychological comfort, aren't they? Health supplements aren't medicines."

Chen Taohai smiled and said, "You tell everyone to get ready properly. Around ten o'clock, sponsors will come to ask you to shoot your endorsement ads."

"Okay, I understand." Ye Qiu nodded without saying anything more.

They just won the championship and are currently riding high on popularity, so sponsors are definitely looking to capitalize on this momentum and quickly launch their advertising campaigns.

That's why I'm in such a hurry.

While many of the sponsored products weren't exactly good, they weren't bad either.

As long as it's not something harmful, like LuLu milk powder, health supplements, money-saving apps, or fund software, Ye Qiu would absolutely not accept endorsements for anything that could harm people.

Ye Qiu had already told Chen Tao Hai about this beforehand, so Chen Tao Hai would also screen the products he was going to endorse.

Soon, the sponsors arrived at Happy Club one by one, and Ye Qiu and the others got busy.

Endorsements for things like clothing, watches, computers, and snacks are relatively easy to handle.

All you need to do is film a short video with the product.

However, the cosmetics endorsement was a bit speechless. They hired a makeup artist who then did a lot of work on Ye Qiu and his group.

The handsome Su Muqiu had been transformed into a sissy, and Ye Qiu could no longer hold back.
No wonder I felt disgusted and wanted to vomit when I saw those male celebrities with makeup on TV in my past life.

Seeing a cut on their finger makes them scream and yell, but eating a peach makes them feel cool and comfortable. It seems like all of this started with men wearing makeup.
　I've been picking corn in the field every day these past few days, so I don't have any drafts saved up!
