Minister Dong took people to the Columbia company for an afternoon of talks, but in the end there was no consensus, but he made an appointment with Albert.

The next day, Niu Li and Minister Dong went to Colombia again for negotiations.

"Notify the Legal Department!Draft the termination agreement!" Niu Li said to Xiaobai with a black face, and when she came out of the Columbia company.

"Okay. Xiaobai hurriedly went to call, and Minister Dong hurriedly followed Niu Li's side, frowning.

Sitting in the car, Niu Li was still angry, and couldn't help but scold: "What's the matter!"

Several people in the marketing department were also indignant.

Niu Li rarely made such gaffes, but it was purely because that Albert was too much.

The appointment with Albert was nine o'clock in the morning, and they arrived in Colombia as soon as they went to work at eight o'clock in the morning, but after nine o'clock, Albert's secretary said that he was going to attend a high-level meeting on an impromptu basis and asked them to wait a little longer.

Until noon, the meeting was not over, Niu Li had to ask someone to go to a nearby fast food restaurant to order something, solve the Chinese food directly in the reception room, and then continue to wait.

It wasn't until half past three in the afternoon that they met the legendary Albert.

According to the rank of both sides, Niu Li was condescending to see him, but the pot-bellied Mr. Albert not only hung them out all morning, but also opened his mouth as soon as he came up, demanding that the profit sharing ratio be changed to two to eight.

It's nothing short of a robbery!

Niu Li almost broke out on the spot, but for the sake of cooperation between the two parties, she still held back her emotions and talked to him.

But that guy thought that Xinghai was weak and bulliable, and he didn't want to drop a percentage point, so Niu Li blew up directly.

"Let the legal department contact the best law firm in Modu, Lao Dong, you can also contact the better lawyers here, consult, and prepare to litigate with them." ”

"Do you really want to fight?" asked Minister Dong worriedly.

"Why don't you fight?" Niu Li had a cold face: "The reason why his attitude dares to be so arrogant must be the meaning of the high-level behind it." Let us enter the pit first, and then close the door and let the dogs go, Colombia has a good calculation! But this will make us submissive, which is too underestimated!"

"Lao Dong, during the early negotiations, I remember that Warner also contacted us, looking for their contact information, and making an appointment to talk, the sooner the better. ”

Seeing that Niu Li had already made up her mind, Minister Dong stopped persuading and directly carried out her orders.

Back at the hotel, Cao Wu and the others who were waiting also learned the news.

"Don't talk about it?"

"Don't talk about it. Niu Li had already adjusted her mood and calmly analyzed: "They have a great appetite, and if we continue to talk, we will only make concessions to end the game, but how much? I don't want to give up a percentage point." ”

"They threaten us with lawsuits, so let's fight! I can see clearly, if you want to gain a foothold in the United States, you must not be afraid of things, otherwise you will always be controlled by others. ”

"Is the propaganda out there?" asked Batu, scratching his head, sitting at the head of the bed.

"Why don't you do it?" Niu Li smiled: "The reputation of "Rock or Bust" has been hit, and the number of plays, downloads and rankings are all increasing rapidly, otherwise why do you think they are in such a hurry to find trouble?"

Lele was a little puzzled: "I can't figure it out, isn't it better to maintain cooperation with us? Why only focus on immediate benefits? The album sells better, don't they make more money?"

"I couldn't figure it out before, but after meeting Albert today, I realized that here, after all, we are foreign people. Niu Li sighed and said to Minister Dong: "Draft a notice and convey to the company that contracts involving transnational cooperation in the future must be signed in China, otherwise they will not be signed!"

After the talks with Columbia collapsed, the Black Hole Band's promotional itinerary also came to a halt, but the early publicity still had a certain effect, coupled with the super high quality of the album itself, word of mouth was gradually fermenting, and more and more people noticed the album.

At Columbia Records' headquarters, in the office of the director of marketing, Albert was smoping a cigar with Scott, the director of publicity.

"Al, there's been no news from Xinghai Culture for two days, are we pushing too hard?" asked Scott.

"This is the United States, we are the oldest record company, we have been in the music industry since the first generation of gramophones, and we can say that the whole market is ours, and if they want to come and eat the cake, they have to work with us. ”

Scott hesitated and asked, "What if they do choose to go to court?"

Scott...... Scott!" Albert took a confident puff of his cigar and slowly exhaled the smoke before he said: "The Chinese are as smart as the Jews, but smart people have a shortcoming, that is, they believe too much in their own wisdom and want to solve everything with their brains. But in this world, fists are always better than brains. ”

"I have dealt with Chinese people a lot, they are very timid and like to use some means, but in the face of real strength, those methods are just sideways. ”

"That lady cow is a smart person, and her angry departure is just a posturing, and she will figure it out. Wait a few days, and they will come to us and hope that we can reduce our profit share and then we can re-sign the contract. ”

Knock knock!

Albert's secretary knocked on the door and came in, bringing in a fax.

"Director, this is a fax from Huaguo Xinghai Culture. ”

"Look! they're more eager than I thought!" Albert said triumphantly, taking the fax.

Casually looking at the fax, his face quickly changed, and after reading the fax, he was furious and slapped the fax on the table.

"How dare they!" Albert was as angry as a bull: "Are these yellow-skinned monkeys crazy? They dare to threaten me with the termination of their contract, do they know who they are facing? We are Colombia!"

The secretary did not dare to speak, and stood aside without saying anything.

Scott took the fax and looked at it, his brow furrowed.

"Albert, it looks like we've touched their bottom line. ”

"No! It's their plan!" Albert sat back, a large puff of smoke wafting away, and he said viciously: "They are bluffing! The place where the contract was signed is in New York, and if there is a dispute over the contract, it will be submitted to the court in New York for judgment, this is our territory, and they have no chance of winning! They should understand this!"

"Lisa, go through the stamping process, stamp this termination agreement, and fax them back!" Albert's face poked out of the smoke, like an evil dragon: "I bet I'll get an apology call from them within a minute of receiving the stamped agreement!"
