Chapter 197: The Most Top-Secret Contract in Record History
The two didn't seem to be joking at all. At this time Tom. Jackson only reacted, the two people in front of him were playing for real, and they were really ready to throw off their sleeves. And Ye Feng's last sentence just now seemed to be saying, I want a TV interview tomorrow? There will be a negotiation the day after tomorrow! Could it be that the reality is that his opponent has already contacted this young man? That's why he didn't worry about not having a company to sign a contract at all?
Thinking of Tom. Jackson couldn't sit still. If he really can't sign Chen Chufan, it will be an absolute disaster for himself and the company. So although he still didn't agree with Ye Feng's conditions, he still stood up and said to the two, "Wait." Young man, how can you be so impatient? Since it is a negotiation, there will always be disputes, and it is always necessary to negotiate in order to produce results. Mr. Ye, I think your attitude is seriously irresponsible to your client. ”
"I don't have to worry about whether I'm responsible to my client or not, Mr. Jackson. Since Chen Chufan entrusted me with everything, he naturally had his reasons. As for the negotiations, didn't you say that there was no need to talk? Ye Feng's rhetorical question, which pretended to be suspicious, made Tom. Jackson wanted to rush up and beat him up.
When negotiating with Chen Chufan, Chen Chufan's youthfulness when he proposed conditions made Tom. Jackson is full of confidence in this signing. But after this Ye Feng was added, the result was completely different. Tom. Jackson had even begun to hate why he hadn't signed the contract while the iron was hot that day, and had to wait until today to put himself through this torment.
"Did I say I didn't have to talk about it? Absolutely not, you must have heard it wrong, Ye, there are no conditions that cannot be discussed! "Tom. Jackson reluctantly denied what he had just said.
And the two staff members next to Jackson also began to look at each other. It was the first time they had met Tom. Jackson would be so out of shape when he signed a rookie singer. Tom can't be blamed for that, though. Jackson, after listening to Ye Feng's conditions of expulsion, they also had the urge to roll their eyes.
"So you mean you can agree to this condition?" Ye Feng was very surprised. It seems that he is very interested in Tom. Jackson's willingness to accept his offer was equally incredible.
"Any condition can be discussed! Negotiation is a matter of patience, and I think we can take our time and negotiate the specific terms! "Tom. Jackson didn't dare to agree to Ye Feng's conditions, otherwise God knows what other conditions this kid would put forward that would make him unbelievable.
"Our time is precious. And in view of the particularity of my client's future return to China, this clause must be specified in the contract, otherwise I really think that there is no need for us to talk about it! "Facing Tom who has softened. Jackson, Ye Feng never gave an inch.
"Well, I said everything can be discussed." Tom. Jackson spread his hands helplessly.
After listening to Tom. Jackson's answer, Ye Feng smiled proudly and glanced at Chen Chufan. Once again, he was at the negotiating table.
"Then let's talk about the distribution of benefits." After Ye Feng sat down, he spoke directly.
"You two go out first, you don't need you here for the time being! I'll call you if necessary. "Tom. Jackson did not directly answer Ye Feng's words, but first waved back his two subordinates. He had a hunch that the less people knew about the contents of today's contract, the better.
When the two looked at each other and walked out of the conference room, Tom. Jackson said, "Wait, Mr. Ye, I can agree to the conditions you just proposed. However, it must be noted that all the event arranging companies negotiate with Chan in advance, and if the negotiation is successful, Chan can no longer refuse the arrangement of Universal. That is, these things must be communicated to us privately. The public cannot be let know that Chan can completely ignore the company's call. This is good for Chen, and good for the company! ”
"Okay!" Ye Feng thought about it, and then opened his mouth to agree. If you don't agree to this, it will seem that you are too insincere.
"Let's go next! Where did you just go? Is it about the distribution of benefits? "Tom. Jackson volunteered
A morning time. It's in Ye Feng and Tom. Jackson spent the time in the middle of the fight. Except for occasionally looking up at the red-faced two people who were arguing, Chen Chufan kept quiet very calmly.
And Ye Feng's tough attitude made Tom. Jackson had a headache. But the company's death order made him have to grind with Ye Feng here, and even he didn't dare to make the decision on the two conditions that Ye Feng put forward in the middle. I could only call Merka. On Feith's phone, go to the impromptu consultation.
In this way, the entire contract was almost completely completed. Just as he was letting out a sigh, Ye Feng suddenly spoke again: "Okay, let's talk about liability for breach of contract." This is the last one, and we're almost done with our work for the day. ”
"Liability for breach of contract?" Tom. Jackson looked at Ye Feng strangely.
"Of course, you have agreed to so many of my excessive conditions, what if you feel that you have lost in the future and want to break the contract? Moreover, the liability for breach of contract on both parties in this contract is too light. But with $1 million in damages, don't you think that money is not worth Universal Music's position in the world's record industry? Of course, for the sake of fairness, if my client defaults, the price he pays can be increased accordingly. Ye Feng said it as a matter of course, but Tom on the other side. Jackson was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
Feelings, he also knows that his demands are excessive? Why didn't he say that when he didn't agree just now? Now we have to raise the compensation for breach of contract! Well, it is said that both parties will increase the amount of compensation for breach of contract at the same time, but with such a generous fucking contract, the singer will only breach the contract when his head is in water, and what contract will he violate? Looking at this contract, which is extremely free for a singer, Tom. Jackson couldn't even find any need for Chen Chufan to breach the contract, unless Chen Chufan's head was really in the water.
However, at this time, he was exhausted, and he really couldn't argue with Ye Feng, who had been defined as a brazen person. He didn't want to make any extraneous problems.
"Okay, so how much compensation do you think would deserve Universal Music's status?" Tom. Jackson asked weakly.
"It's just $10 million, although it's a small amount for Universal Music. But at least it's not a shame to say it! Ye Feng smashed his mouth and directly increased the liability for breach of contract tenfold.
"Alright! But this cannot be said, all the terms of this contract cannot be spoken. Therefore, I think that the confidentiality clause of this contract must be added, no matter who leaks any content in the contract, otherwise the leaking party needs to pay the other party at least five times the amount of liquidated damages. That's at least $50 million in damages! Even if the validity period of this contract expires or is terminated or terminated early, this article will always be in effect, and I think this should be fine! ”
This is Tom. Jackson reluctantly proposed additional terms. There is no way, once this contract is signed, it is absolutely a secret within a secret. If this signing contract for such a Universal record spreads, it will be an absolute disaster. It's still a trivial matter to lose face, let other artists know, and it's strange if they don't rebel.
"That's no problem! Besides, even if we leak this contract, no one will believe it! After everything was done, Ye Feng also felt a little tired, and he didn't plan to worry about anything. In short, after taking advantage of the cheap, you should always comfort others, otherwise you will be too unkind.
It's just that his comforting words are too straightforward, straight to Tom. Jackson felt the urge to vomit blood. He himself knows that no one will believe the terms of this contract? How did you bring it up just now, but it was so reasonable? Thinking that he would be signing such an unbelievable contract on behalf of the company, Tom . Jackson felt aggrieved, and he even regretted finding Merka. Faith took the initiative to get involved.
It's the same moth that Kalman poked out, but he's going to wipe his ass, Tom. Jackson cursed in his heart. As for Ye Feng in front of him? He didn't bother to pay attention to this Z man at all.
With a bitter face, I personally reprinted the changed contract. Let Chen Chufan sign the contract. Tom. Jackson immediately put the contract in his portfolio.
"Hopefully we will have a good time working together in the future, Mr. Jackson." Chen Chufan said with a smile.
"In your friend's words, you're going to have a great time! That friend of yours is a demon! But congratulations, there's never been such a generous contract in the history of Universal Music! "Tom. Jackson reluctantly showed a smile and responded in front of Ye Feng.
"Goodbye, then, Mr. Jackson!" Chen Chufan said goodbye.
"Goodbye! Remember that the phone must be turned on, and I will notify you immediately when the signing ceremony is booked! ”
"M people are just not kind, there is a special car to pick up when they come, and after the contract is signed, he will not arrange his car! Is this considered crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? Standing at the gate of Universal Entertainment in New York, Ye Feng began to complain.
"Actually, I can better understand Mr. Jackson's mood now, it's normal to be a little forgetful just after dealing with you. He didn't ask the security guards to kick us out, which was already very restrained! Chen Chufan seemed quite indifferent, although he had been reading the magazine, but it was actually a major event related to his future prospects, and it was impossible to care about it at all, so he was interested in Tom. Jackson's mood is understandable. In fact, he was a little embarrassed to face Tom with a frustrated face when he signed the contract. Jackson. (To be continued......)
