Chapter 40: The Wisdom of Zuo Shanghua
(It's shameless to ask for a collection, to be added to the bookshelf.) οΌ
The next day.
Eight o'clock, Miracle Video Conference Room.
Three middle-aged men sat at the conference table, all with a hint of joy on their faces.
As early as ten o'clock last night, they received a call from Zuo Shanghua again, and they learned that the company had launched a new program with gratifying results. I came to the company in a hurry early in the morning.
It's not easy, the company has been established for so long, and there is finally a show that can be handled.
Zuo Shanghua was the last to come in, and put a copy of the text in front of everyone.
"Dong He, Dong Liu, Director Wang, this is Zhang Yang's resume and the contract we signed, you all take a look. β
Before she could speak, the three of them had already opened it and looked at it.
After a while, the two chairmen frowned in unison: "The copyright of this show is in his hands? The right to speak is also his? He also wants to share 50% of the profits? Xiao Zuo? What is going on with you? How can you sign such a contract?"
Zuo Shanghua smiled bitterly: "Boss, it's not that I shirk my responsibility, I really can't be blamed for signing such a contract." β
"Don't blame you, do you blame us?" said both bosses, with anger in their tones.
The company finally came out with a popular show, but you told us that this show has nothing to do with us?
"Boss, I already reported to you last time, this show was bought by Zhang Yang in exchange for advertising. The young man knew exactly what he wanted, and he made these conditions clear. If I didn't agree at the time, not only would the show not have a chance with us, but "Four Great Inventions and New Solutions" would definitely not fall on our heads. β
The two bosses frowned again.
Zuo Shanghua analyzed the three of them unhurriedly, "Now I can be sure that when he negotiated the conditions with us, he had already determined that this show would be popular." I even suspect that he already had the manuscript of this episode at that time. In the middle, he also went to pull commercials, but everyone didn't have any hope for this show like us, and there would be no advertisements in the first episode. β
"Yesterday, I carefully recalled the negotiation process with him at the beginning, and suddenly felt that the money was not his purpose, and this show should be what he really wanted. Not to mention that I didn't realize the value of this show at the time, even if I knew that this show would be popular at that time, it is impossible to negotiate these rights. There's no way he's going to let go. If we insist on those rights, his choice will definitely be to find another partner. β
The faces of the two bosses were not very good-looking. Obviously, they all remembered Zuo Shanghua's report some time ago. She did talk about it that day, but no one took it to heart at the time, after all, a newcomer can make such a big wave. But who would have thought that the show that had just become popular was actually his?
Director Wang suddenly asked, "What is the current click-through rate of this show?" β
Zhang Yang signed a contract with the company to do the show, and he knew it clearly. In the middle, because of the intervention of VV Video, he even pushed the flamboyant program back for a period of time to the left. Now that this show has come out, he is also surprised.
"This is the number I just got from the technical department. From 8 o'clock last night to 8 o'clock this morning, 12 hours, the click rate is more than 1.6 million. Zuo Shanghua handed a table to the three of them, "This is the result of removing duplicate clicks on the same IP." In other words, the show has been watched by at least 1.6 million real viewers. If you add in the repeat clicks, there are already more than 2.1 million. β
"1.6 million viewers?" all three were a little moved.
Zuo Shanghua said: "This is only a twelve-hour click, and I conservatively estimate that the twenty-four hours of clicks can break three million, and it is not impossible to reach the height of 3.5 million." β
"3.5 million?" The corners of the two bosses narrowed their eyes, and after a moment of silence, one of them said: "Can you go and talk to him about redoing a contract, for example, tell him directly how much it costs to do a show." β
Zuo Shanghua glanced at him and shook his head: "Dong He, it's impossible for him to re-sign the contract with us." Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken these rights away in the first place. Now this contract is the biggest benefit he can get. β
The two bosses looked at the contract in their hands and fell silent.
"Mr. Zuo, how do you know if you don't try?" Director Wang on the side suddenly spoke.
Zuo Shanghua glanced at him and said, "Director Wang, if it were you, would you agree? You can earn 1 million, but you can only earn 500,000 yuan by signing a copy upside down?"
"If you don't agree, put a little pressure on him. Director Wang said: "A hairy boy in his twenties, scaring and scaring will also compromise. If you really can't do it, modify the click-through rate to compress the profit on the table as much as possible. β
"Modify the number of jΓΉ?" Zuo Shanghua raised his eyebrows, "Director Wang, do you know what you're talking about? If you are not careful, this kind of thing will ruin the company's reputation, and you will even have to bear legal responsibility!"
Director Wang didn't care and said: "If you don't say it, how will he know? β
"Do you think it's worth it? Do you do this kind of small action for this benefit? Paper can never contain fire, and there is no impermeable wall in the world. If this matter is leaked, will you bear the consequences? Will you bear the legal responsibility?" Zuo Shanghua's tone was already full of anger.
Director Wang's eyes jumped and he didn't answer.
The two bosses stretched out their hands and motioned for them to stop arguing: "Xiao Zuo, tell me what you think." β
Zuo Shanghua nodded, adjusted the situation, and said, "Since the contract has been signed, I think we will keep this relationship going." He already grabbed these rights in his hands before the show came out, and now that the show is on fire, it is impossible for him to let go, and it is impossible for anyone to let go. We don't need to say anything more, lest we turn him off. Modifying the number of jΓΉ such things is strongly opposed to me. I'm sure that if we really make a small move behind the scenes, the final result will definitely be that we lose our wife and lose our soldiers. β
"Two bosses, don't forget, the copyright of this show is now in his hands. If we really him off, he could have left him alone. If such a thing really happened on our side, a giant like VV Video would definitely poach him as soon as possible. Zhang Yang doesn't understand these numbers, it doesn't mean that his peers don't understand either, even if we do it secretly, there is a possibility of being discovered. At that time, it will not be a problem of one show. β
"We have cooperated with Zhang Yang so far, and we have obtained the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. That ad is going to air tomorrow, and we're definitely going to see a lot more visibility when it airs. In exchange for this fame at a price of 150,000 yuan, I think it is worth it. So far, the company has only contributed a little manpower, and the rest has been completed by Zhang Yang alone. β
All the core content of this show is provided by him, including the qiΔ in the later stage of the music segment, from a small subtitle to a large paragraph, all of which he did by himself. Zhang Yang's talent is the value of this show. Without him, even if he gave us the copyright, I don't think we would have been able to do it. Do you think we need to talk to him about the contract again, at the risk of losing a show?"
"Boss, you are investors, businessmen, and I understand that you value profits. But I'm an operator, and I think we need to look a little bit farther. The ability of this person is obvious to all. He has done a good job in advertising novels and videos, what do you think is the chance that if he is asked to do another show, what is the chance that it will become popular?"
"It's just getting started, and I don't think it's worth mentioning compared to Zhang Yang. We keep this person, is the biggest way to get benefits. If you keep people, you will keep the program, and the program will bring huge traffic to the company, and with traffic, it will benefit the entire company. Therefore, not only can we not turn against him now, but we also have to find ways to keep him. Because our peers will definitely poach him at any cost. β
""Zhang Yang Joke" is a brand-new program format, and there will definitely be peers who will follow suit in the future, no matter what the quality of their production is, it is certain that some viewers will be diverted. Zuo Shanghua looked at the two bosses and said sincerely: "Boss, I think at this time, what we have to do is not to squeeze the profits of Zhang Yang or do some small actions to kill each other. What we really want to do is to continue to maintain a close cooperative relationship with him, maximize the use of his talent for greater profits, so as to resist the counterattack of peers and enhance the company's popularity, I think this is the most important thing! β
"If we take the next step well, it will be a win-win situation with Zhang Yang. If we make a mistake, Zhang Yang will not lose anything, but we will lose a great opportunity to become stronger and bigger, and we may be left farther away by our peers! Boss, such an opportunity is not often encountered. β
Both bosses nodded thoughtfully.
Director Wang asked again: "Mr. Zuo, how do you guarantee that Zhang Yang will not be poached by other companies?"
"I can't guarantee it, I can only exchange hearts for hearts. Do you think we have a choice now?" Zuo Shanghua looked at him coldly.
"Even if we don't change the contract, should we sign another agreement with him or something?
"Let's take a look at the contract in hand. At the beginning of the negotiations, a three-month deadline had already been set, and the time was set by him. Zuo Shanghua's tone was a little helpless, she suddenly had a feeling that Zhang Yang had already calculated that there would be today's scene when he was negotiating, and he had blocked all the retreats in advance.
"So, I personally don't think he's going to leave during the contract period. As for the expiration of the contract, I am afraid it depends on our sincerity. In fact, Zuo Shanghua still has a thought that he hasn't said. A big reason why Zhang Yang chose them was Su Qingyan, as long as Su Qingyan was still there, he should not break the contract.
At least, that's what she thought.
If Zhang Yang heard this, I am afraid he would have cried and laughed, although he chose the miracle video Although Su Qingyan has a little bit to do with it, it really doesn't matter much.
The two bosses discussed in a whisper, got up and walked out: "You can watch and deal with this matter." You know better than us about business, so we won't interfere. Let's go first. β
Seeing off the two bosses, Zuo Shanghua returned to the conference room, took the materials and left directly.
"Mr. Zuo, I want to ask, if Zhang Yang is really poached by his peers, do you have any preparatory plans?"
Zuo Shanghua stopped and said lightly: "Director Wang, please remember your and my responsibilities. I am responsible for the big and small affairs in the company, and you are responsible for the external affairs. The reason why I called you here today is not because I have something to discuss with you, but just to inform you, that's all. β
Director Wang heard the anger in her words and said with a smile: "Mr. Zuo, everyone is for the benefit of the company, is it normal to have disagreements, don't make trouble." β
Zuo Shanghua said angrily: "Are you a disagreement?
"Don't say it's so strict, it's just a building yì, isn't it not adopted?"
Zuo Shanghua obviously didn't want to say more to him, and walked directly outside.
"I'm busy, let's go first. β
Director Wang smiled bitterly and spread his hands helplessly.
