Chapter 271: The shopkeeper bullies

Because of the time difference, it was daytime before Cao Wu got on the plane, and it was still daytime when he got off the plane. Half a day had passed for him, but the date was still the same day.

Back at the hotel, Cao Wu went straight to Niu Li's room, where Lele and the others were also waiting for him.

Knock knock!

It was Batu who opened the door.

Entering the room, Cao Wu found that Minister Dong of the marketing department was also there, and everyone was silent, just nodding at him.

Finding a random place to sit down, Cao Wu asked, "What's the matter?"

Everyone looked at each other, Minister Dong coughed, and said: "That's right, at 23:12 on the evening of the 23rd Beijing time, our department received an accountability call from the marketing department of Columbia Records, asking why we didn't contact his staff to report the itinerary of the Black Hole Band. After learning that the Black Hole had not yet arrived in the United States, they quickly issued us a lawyer's letter. ”

"The general content is to accuse us of not cooperating with the Colombian side's publicity plan as required, resulting in changes in the recording of the program, and the inability to carry out the publicity in a timely manner, which is a breach of contract, and requires us to compensate for the loss of breach of contract. ”

"It's nonsense, "The Ellen Show" is their own show in Colombia, and it has been connected for a long time, how can there be changes?

Cao Wu was a little puzzled: "Haven't we always cooperated well? Why do you suddenly want to mess with us?"

Niu Li spoke: "We went to Colombia and met Scott, but this is not what he meant, it is what he meant. ”

"Which one is above?"

Minister Dong sighed and said: "Isn't there a director in their marketing department? It's called Albert, who was transferred from the head office, and has only been in office for a week, and has made a lot of moths, not only us, but several of their propaganda and sales departments have also been made up, but we are the main target." ”

"Have you seen him?

"No, I've been dating until now, I haven't seen each other, and I haven't burned incense. ”

"Then what is the reason? The new official is not such a burning method, right?"

Niu Li laughed and said disdainfully: "What else can it be? Most of the problems in the business field are due to money." I think the 'Airborne Troops' are probably not satisfied with our profit-sharing ratio. ”

"Wasn't the profit sharing negotiated a long time ago?" Cao Wu frowned and asked: "The Black Hole Band has zero appearance fees to cooperate with the publicity, and Xinghai Culture has paid money to distribute the goods, but just borrowing their publicity channels, they will pay 60% of the net profit, which is not satisfactory?"

"The leaders who came out of CBS are used to being domineering, and the album has been selling well during this time, and I want to regret it and talk about it again!"

"What a fucking shopkeeper!" Batu scolded angrily.

Minister Dong shook his head helplessly: "But what can be done? We have no foundation here, we can only rely on others, who makes people the head of the land and have channels? Alas! It seems that this time we have to admit it." ”

"Who said that?" Niu Li suddenly spoke, her eyes sharp: "You must not give in to this matter!"

Everyone was stunned, she sat up straight, leaned back in her chair, and said solemnly: "Why did they suddenly change Pacific Time to Beijing Time? Why didn't they contact us in advance on the day of the appointed time? They didn't come to Xingshi until the appointed time passed? They did it on purpose and wanted to trick us." ”

"That's right, but album sales still have to rely on them, right?" Minister Dong said busily: "We have just entered the American market, and our foundation is unstable, so it's best not to be rash, and when the black hole is firmly established in the United States, there will be an opportunity to clean them up in the future." ”

Niu Li shook her head: "Why do they dare to pit us so blatantly? It is because they see that our foundation is unstable, they dare not resist, and they want us to be stabbed silently." However, they misread Xinghai Culture!

Niu Li stood up and paced back and forth with her arms crossed: "From the beginning of our negotiations with them, our direction was wrong. ”

"Xinghai is the first time to cooperate with an overseas company, and it is such a large company, in the process of preliminary negotiation and hospitality, we put our posture too low, so we let people look down on it. ”

"After the cooperation began, our public relations work was carried out too frequently, and in the eyes of others, we were a Chinese land company with a lot of money and only gifts. ”

That's why they are so arrogant and overwhelming. ”

"We've retreated enough, and if we retreat, it's time to retreat. ”

She suddenly stopped and said seriously: "There are many Chinese bands that have come overseas to develop, why are there not many of them? It is not because of the music itself, but because of the weakness of commercial means!"

"What we want to do is to be the first Chinese band to shoot overseas, and when we come out, we represent the face of Huaguo!"

"It's a big bully in the Colombian store, and it's backsliding, so we still have to live on it?"

"Minister Dong, you go to talk to them tomorrow, if you don't see that Albert, you won't see it, bring me the words, they didn't do it properly, we rushed to New York before the program was recorded, it was they who canceled the program recording, and they breached the contract first!"

"We Xinghai are in line with the business attitude of win-win cooperation, and we are not to blame for the past, and hope to continue to cooperate, but if they insist on going their own way, then we have to see each other in court!"

"This ......" Minister Dong was dumbfounded: "Wouldn't it be too resolute?"

"Must be resolute!" Niu Li waved her hand: "I still don't believe it, the cooperation between the two companies is still stuck by a marketing director?"

After a moment of silence, Minister Dong nodded: "I know." ”

Niu Li walked to the window with her arms crossed, frowned, and said: "When you go to talk tomorrow, take a tough attitude, remember one thing, you not only represent our Xinghai culture, but also represent Chinese rock, and you must not let people look down on you!"

"Understood!" Minister Dong swallowed and asked tentatively, "If the talks fall apart......

"If the talks fall apart, I'll fight a lawsuit with it! What are you afraid of? Just enrich the company's legal department. Niu Li snorted lightly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "The three major music companies, as well as Universal and Warner, it's really not good, let's find Sony, BMG to cooperate, Nuo is a big United States, and it can't cover the sky with one hand!"

"Sister Li is domineering!" Lele clenched his fist and waved.

Smiling, Niu Li looked at Cao Wu and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Ate a little bit on the plane. ”

"Let's go together. Niu Li picked up her coat and said to Minister Dong: "After eating, inform the people who came this time to have a meeting in the conference room at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Xiao Guo will contact the people in the hotel." ”

"Roger. ”
