“I’ve been thinking about that too.”
Bumsu smiled bitterly and said.
“huh. Like Heeyeon.”
I nodded.
“Heeyeon originally had her own channel. Not like me.”
Beomsu shook his head and said.
“is it.”
That’s right too.
“When you first start a channel, it won’t take a long time to settle in. Besides, tech YouTubers are even more so.”
Bumsu said in a cautious tone.
‘Tech YouTuber’ refers to YouTubers who mainly review high-tech products.
“It’s not like that. On our channel, no matter what video we upload, we start with 100,000 views.”
I nodded and said.
“huh. that’s right. Selling a new channel for no reason is not worth it.”
Beomsu said, and added quickly.
“And anyway, these equipment are not mine, they belong to our channel. So I guess using it on my personal channel could be a problem.”
“I see. It doesn’t matter.”
Even though I said this, I felt grateful for Beom-soo’s thoughtful thought.
“I thought about paying usage fees or sharing part of the profits with our channel, but that doesn’t sound like a good idea.”
“hmm. I thought of many things.”
“huh. If you and Heeyeon allow it, I want to create a category within our channel and promote.”
“I am in favor. Let’s also ask Heeyeon. Maybe it’s good.”
“huh. To be honest, your doctor doesn’t matter. our channel.”
Beomsu said this with the intention of respecting my position within the channel.
“no. Still, let’s ask Heeyeon formally. All team members have to agree on this.”
I made a statement that guaranteed the position of the team members.
“…”
Hearing that, Bumsu put on a slightly complicated expression.
“What’s wrong with your expression?”
“no. My thoughts are a bit complicated.”
The beggar scratched his head.
“what?”
“To be honest.”
Saying this, Bumsu quickly looked towards the mobile studio.
Heeyeon was in there editing a video to upload to her channel.
“huh.”
When I answered, Bum-soo cautiously continued.
“Because you are so good to me and Heeyeon. ‘Can I do this?’ There are times when I want to.”
“Puha.”
I burst out laughing.
“what. I was about to spit it out What did I do well?”
“no. In fact, you funded this channel all by yourself, and you did all the planning.”
“I haven’t done everything.”
However, it cannot be said that Bumsu’s words are completely wrong.
In fact, I’m almost done.
“But they treat me and Hee-yeon as if they really share the same stake. In fact, the distribution of profits is also doing that.”
“hmm.”
“A little while ago, Hee-yeon said that we should listen to her opinion, that in fact, only you need to allow it.”
“huh.”
“While I am grateful for that, there are times when I feel a little uncomfortable. And think like this.”
“What do you think?”
Beomsu looked me in the eyes and said.
“At first, without much thought, I suggested that we do the same, but now that we are looking at 2 million subscribers, wouldn’t we regret that thought? think like this.”
“Puhahahaha.”
I burst out laughing.
“Uh. hey. Do not laugh. I mustered up the courage to speak.”
It is true that he was courageous as a criminal.
If I had any regrets, I would take the fact that Beom-soo brought up the story first and say, “Yes. Shall we change the conditions we talked about at the beginning? He could have said, “I give you guys too much money than I thought.”
It would be best for Beom-soo and Hee-yeon not to give me the opportunity to bring up the topic.
“Do you not regret it?”
“huh. I have no regrets.”
Beomsu carefully asked, and I answered without hesitating even for a second.
“okay?”
“first.”
I spoke slowly.
“Since we filmed soon after reaching 2 million, it is true that the amount of income is very large.”
“huh.”
“Do you know how much money I inherited from my father?”
“Oh.”
When the word ‘father’ came out of my mouth, Beom-soo was startled.
Heeyeon and Beomsu both knew a while ago that I am the son of L Group Chairman Koh Moo-hyuk.
But this is the first time I’ve put my father’s name directly on my lips.
“hmm. there must be a lot Considering that he is a major shareholder of L Motors and L Electronics.”
After saying this as if muttering, Beomsu asked.
“How many billions? No matter what, it won’t exceed 100 billion, right?”
“ha ha ha.”
In fact, I never told you the size of my inheritance.
Within the limits of ordinary people’s imagination, about 100 billion would be the limit.
“okay. Well, let’s say that’s about it for now.”
“Uh. More than that?”
Beomsu said with tears in his eyes.
“hahahaha. won’t you teach me Anyway, let’s calculate that much and talk about it.”
“huh.”
“I did a lot if I were to share profits with you guys in proportion.”
“huh.”
“But what about 100 billion?”
“ah.”
He seemed to have a vague idea of what he was going to say.
“I’m still not sure if our channel’s total revenue exceeds 100 billion in interest income. Even if you only put it in a savings account with an annual interest rate of 1 percent, 1 billion a year, roughly 100 million a month, will come in because interest is earned.”
I said with a wry smile.
In fact, my wealth is several times 100 billion, so our channel revenue is far from following my wealth.
“Sure. wow. That’s a lot of money when you calculate it that way.”
The beggar nodded blankly.
“But I bet everything on YouTube. So, I think of the money I inherited from my father as an investment in our channel.”
“okay?”
Hearing this, Bum-soo looked surprised again.
“huh. If I had been thinking of simply earning a penny more and becoming richer than I am now, I probably wouldn’t have shared the profits with you guys. He might have been calculating like crazy and trying to take even a little more.”
“hmm.”
The beggar nodded.
“But I’m not doing YouTube to make 100 billion, I’m putting 100 billion in to grow YouTube.”
“Is that different?”
“huh. To grow a channel, it’s wise to give a lot of benefits to the people who work on it. Wouldn’t it be a little different from making money as the goal?”
“hmm.”
“First of all, what if I gave you 5% or 10% of our channel’s revenue instead of the way it is now?”
“Then I would have thought that it would be more advantageous to create my own personal channel in the long run, even if it is disadvantageous right now.”
The beggar answered right away. It seems to have been calculated that way too.
“You are honest.”
“Right. hahahaha. That I don’t feel the need to be independent. That it is not irrelevant to our channel’s profit distribution right now.”
“I just prefer that you guys feel a sense of ownership of the channel like that. Originally, if you want to grow your business, the best thing to do is to make people who work feel a sense of ownership. That way, you and I will try to grow the channel together.”
“Isn’t ‘ownership’ a very bad word?”
Bumsu said with a wry smile.
“okay? Why is that a bad word?”
I asked in surprise.
“The bad bosses always emphasize the sense of ownership and pamper the employees.”
“ah. It’s not that the owner’s mind is bad, it’s that the bosses are bad. Originally a very nice word?”
I said with a smile.
“That’s right.”
The beggar scratched his head.
“It’s a problem because they demand a sense of ownership while giving more work and less money, isn’t it a completely different thing to demand a sense of ownership while sharing profits?”
“Right. That is also true.”
“okay. I got colleagues who are full of ownership with money that is less than a month’s interest on my property. I think that is more profitable.”
“I can’t calculate how beneficial that is, but it makes sense.”
The beggar nodded.
In fact, the decision itself that I made after thinking about it is also what supports my thoughts.
“good. Then let’s go talk to Heeyeon.”
“huh. okay.”
* * *
“Amazing, Great.”
Heeyeon was sitting in the studio, and when she saw us come in, she turned her head and said.
“what?”
“The number of subscribers increased by 30,000 while you guys were out.”
“omg. okay?”
“huh. The moving studio videos uploaded this time are an explosion of reactions.”
Heeyeon’s face brightened.
“oh. Then, shall we monitor the reaction?”
I smiled and sat down in the studio.
There is enough space left even if you sit on three chairs in front of a large monitor.
“hey. good night. Three people can watch comfortably.”
The beggar smiled and said.
“I know. Last time, we just filmed the space, so I think we can take a video of the three of us actually using this space and upload it.”
“good.”
At my words, Bumsu nodded.
“Anyway, let’s see.”
– wow. How much is that?
– oh my god. look at that gear
– I don’t know the equipment, is it expensive?
– huh. There are a lot of things that make billion sounds. Do you think the price of the equipment will be more expensive than the price of the tea?
– You know equipment, but you don’t seem to know about motorhomes? Motorhomes aren’t cheap either.
– What is a motorhome?
– That’s called a motorhome because it’s not meant to be camping. Of course, camping is also possible.
There were many comments admiring each other while pretending to know each other.
Of course, there were also malicious comments like:
– express in one word damn money
– You mean the owner of this channel is the concubine’s son? It’s just that level. Spending money lavishly, not knowing how much money is wasted.
However, the percentage of such comments was gradually declining.
– hey. Be careful with your words. There are rumors about who the owner of this channel is, but none of them have been revealed. Don’t use the expression ‘son of a concubine’ carelessly and get financial treatment for nothing.
– Are you on the side of the concubine’s son?
– A bastard like a bastard opened up and ground it. I’m listening to you I’m worried that I’ll be sued for no reason, so I’m telling you, but I don’t even know how to thank you, damn it.
There were also a lot of comments responding to malicious comments like this.
– Anyway, in conservative Korea, YouTubers and Instagrammers live flexibly like that. i envy you.
“First of all, as our channel has grown in size, it seems that the comment ecosystem has formed quite soundly.”
This was the conclusion I came to after skimming through the comments on the car picking video.
“huh. There were a lot of them at first, but the number of bad guys didn’t increase anymore. There must have been a lot of influx of decent people.”
Heeyeon also nodded.
“good. Shall we monitor the video of the lake tour now?”
“huh. I took a look at that too, and the reaction was good.”
Heeyeon said with a smile.
“okay?”
It was a nice word.
– hey. Is the lake that pretty?
– Yes, the rising and setting of the sun is really pretty.
– It’s so good, but not many people go there?
– Because there is no proper accommodation. Besides, if you just camp, it’s uncomfortable to open. Lots of bugs too.
– ah. Because you have such a good camper, you can enjoy the lake trip properly.
– right. The lake trip is paradoxically rather more flex.
– It’s tight. I think this channel really captured the concept well.
“oh. Are there only really nice comments?”
The beggar asked in surprise.
“huh. I guess people’s hearts are getting softer. It’s the first time I’ve seen these reactions.”
Heeyeon also agreed.
“good. The number of views of these videos is rising like no joke. The mobile studio investment will pay off quickly.”
I nodded and said.
“huh.”
“Now then, let’s connect this video with L car!”
