Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness?
Chapter 116 - Establishing a CompanyChapter 116: Establishing a Company
Keira Knightley’s sudden suggestion stunned Bell.
“Are you kidding? How can we decide on such a big thing like starting a company?”
Bell shook his head with a laugh.
To his surprise, Keira Knightley looked serious.
“Do you think I’m joking?”
On the sofa, Keira Knightley looked at Bell solemnly.
Bell finally understood that the other party really had this thought.
“This matter isn’t as simple as you think.”
“Moreover, to open a good company, there are many things to prepare. I don’t have manpower or connections now. Opening a company now is like throwing money.”
Bell spread his hands helplessly.
It was not that he had not thought of this, he was not really an eight-year-old child after all. He had naturally thought it through thoroughly.
Bell had thought of the same question that Hanks had asked.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Bell’s words, Keira Knightley said, “Let me resolve these things.”
“You will have absolute control over the new company. Regarding the manpower issue, it will be resolved in a month.”
“What do you think?”
Keira Knightly looked at Bell and waited for his answer.
“How much do I need to invest?”
After the money earned from the show and the stream, Bell had some cash.
There were at least eight million in his bank account.
But Bell did not know how much Keira Knightley wanted for the company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough they could be considered friends now, there was a difference in status.
After all, she was a top female celebrity.
Her net worth was easily over a hundred million.
With his current financial strength, he might not be able to afford her plan.
However, Keira Knightley surprised Bell again.
“We can set up a small company first. About five million should be enough for the start.”
Bell couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.
Five million was barely enough if it was just to open a physical company.
But it was clearly not enough to start a video platform company.
Even with Bell’s popularity, the company still had to find a large number of top streamers.
Expand the company’s audience.
As for Bell’s Wilderness Survival, it could only be said to be an edge.
It could attract some audience to the platform.
“5 million is probably not enough to open a video platform company.”
“After all, if we want to poach a slightly famous streamer, we will need to spend millions.
If it were more famous streamers, we will need tens of millions.”
Bell said helplessly.
But then Keira Knightley stood up.
“I’ve thought about this for a long time. If you open a company, as a shareholder, I’m willing to move in for free. I believe Natalie and Anne have the same thoughts.”
“As for Scarlett, there’s no need to mention it. With the four of us staying here, I believe many celebrities and streamers will join us without demanding a high price.
They might even join for free.”
Bell finally understood what she meant.
“How can that do? With your reputation, once the platform can’t be built, the four of you will be affected.”
Bell understood that the other party was preparing to help him.
But there was a certain risk in this matter, and Bell was not willing to involve them.
Unexpectedly, just as Bell finished speaking, several voices sounded from the door.
“I think this is feasible. We usually have nothing to do. Video platforms are so popular now. If we open a company and manage it well, we can earn some pocket money.”
A million was treated as pocket money.
They were top celebrities after all. Their income was definitely extremely high.
At some point in time, Scarlett, Natalie, and Anne were already standing at the door.
They had heard what Keira had said earlier.
Although they did not know why Keira suddenly wanted to open a company with Bell, the three of them could tell that this matter should be related to Bell.
They really liked Bell.
Not to mention whether they had feelings for him, just Bell’s performance in these few days was enough for them to invest in him.
“When did you guys come? You didn’t even make a sound.”
Bell was speechless.
His room really had no privacy.
Scarlett smiled and walked to Bell.
“I think Keira’s suggestion is good. You are getting more and more traffic, but you still have a lot of potential. No matter which video platform you go to, they won’t be able to bring out all of your value.”
“Instead of creating wealth for others, it’s better to create wealth for yourself.”
“How about it? We can help you as long as you agree.”
“From now on, you’re the boss of the company. Don’t forget to give us dividends when you earn money.”

In fact, when Bell signed the contract before, she had such thoughts.
But at that time, it was not obvious how much potential Bell had.
Moreover, Bell did not seem to have the intention of starting a company, so she had not mentioned it.
But now that it was mentioned by Keira, Scarlett decided to help.
Of course, she had her own selfish motives.
If Bell and the others opened a company together, wouldn’t they have more time together?
This thought popped into Scarlett’s mind.
Natalie and Anne nodded in agreement.
“Sure, I have no objections. If Bell wants to start a company, like Keira said, I can move in as a shareholder,” said Natalie Portman.
“I have no objections,” said Anne Hathaway.
The four people in the room looked at Bell, waiting for his answer.
Faced with their gazes, Bell smiled helplessly.
“Alright, in that case, let’s have a happy cooperation.”
Hanks got off the plane and returned to the company.
He returned to the office to sort out his emotions.
Then, he walked to the leader’s office with the contract.
“Sir, I’m back.”
The middle-aged man was surprised.
Hanks returned much faster than he thought.
“You’re back? What did Bell say? How long has this contract been signed for?”
Hanks shook his head.
“I’m afraid we have to be prepared to lose Bell.”
