(No one watched the video uploaded by station B...... AV number 7204056, or you can search for the UP master "Great Magister Certificate" at station B, I made a favorite, and put all the songs that have appeared in it)
"Why, you ask? I can't afford to pay their lawyers' fees. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Seeing the other party's big eyes blinking, with an innocent look of "I'm poor and I'm glorious", Goto Hongami was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and he really wanted to rush up and grab the other party's collar and yell, "Then you still hire so many!" β
It's like pooping on your face and forcing you to wipe your ass!
What's even more infuriating is that isn't it enough for you to hire a lawyer? I just invited twelve! It's all super famous! It's like saying "I don't believe you Sony"!
In the history of Sony's entrepreneurship, such a luxurious team of lawyers has never been sent a few times!
It's not just on your face, it's still twelve bubbles in one go!
I'm dignified, when have I ever been so angry! It's too much of a bully!
He just wanted to refute, but saw Li Shanhe say unhurriedly:
"This is the first condition, and if we don't agree, we can't continue the negotiations."
Seeing Li Shanhe's fearless appearance, Minister Goto closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Yes, I agree!" β
The tears I have shed now are all the water that I put into my brain at the beginning.
Minister Goto may not have heard of this phrase, but he must have felt it deeply.
Regret not being at the beginning!
After quickly signing a lawyer retention agreement and Sony's compensation agreement, Li Shanhe nodded with satisfaction:
"You're wise, so let's get down to the details of the contract."
The differences between the two sides were big from the beginning, and what Sony wanted to give was a rookie contract - even if there was a lot of preferential treatment, it could not get rid of the essence of the rookie contract.
In the contract, Li Shanhe's personal life was greatly restricted, and there were a bunch of prohibitive clauses. Although the signing fee below is generous, Li Shanhe is still very dissatisfied.
Thankfully, he's not alone. The advantage of a large team of lawyers is that they can be cited on the sidelines. The contract drawn up by Sony reached them, and it was quickly broken down into detailed explanations, and then relayed to Li Shanhe in plain words.
"All the copyrights to my songs had to be operated by a 'MAX_POWER' contract company registered in the Virgin Islands and granted to Sony for 1 yen."
"Why, you ask? The Beatles also started their own company to handle their copyrights, and I was just imitating my predecessors. β
"Don't fall in love? Who are you and I? My sister stripped naked and crawled into my bed, do you want me to not admit it after I get on? It's so insulting to my personality! β
"I'm going to be a rock star, a little scandal is nothing! This one is crossed! β
The negotiations are very reactive, and with the support of a strong team of lawyers, they can always find various legal treaties to illustrate. Sony's side was almost passively beaten.
Minister Goto gritted his teeth and tried to throw the contract in the faces of those lawyers several times. I'm the one who paid your lawyer's fees! Do you rub your employer to the ground like that?
Now, Sony is almost unilaterally begging the other side, and its own side has no useful chips other than money, so it can only retreat step by step.
How many years have you not experienced this feeling?
He exhaled, let the others go first, and took his assistant to the next lounge, poured a cup of tea and swallowed it, wiped his mouth and said, "Is there any news about the people who went to investigate at the headquarters?" β
The assistant hurriedly called the headquarters, and after a while, he said with a strange face: "The headquarters said ...... Details will be sent later. β
"How is it so fast?" Minister Goto was a little surprised, starting from the collection of intelligence, how could it take ten days and half a month, he was ready for a long-term war of resistance.
The only explanation is that the man was investigated by headquarters a long time ago.
He didn't have time to think about what it meant, and the fax machine was spitting out paper, so he quickly ran over, picked up the fax and looked at it twice.
At first glance, I fell into the "income" column, and I couldn't help but shrink my pupils:
-- Owns the company "Shanhe Co., Ltd.", the founder of the fax machine network business model, with a monthly net profit of 4.7 million yuan......
"No wonder, no wonder...... It turns out that he is still a big deal? He muttered to himself.
I was even more surprised when I saw the next line:
ββSerialized in "Shonen Jump" under the pseudonym "Ai Luo Wuyong", the original creator of many popular comics, is expected to earn 130 million in royalties a year......
130 million!
Goto never expected that the guy in the conference room who was full of cheap goods would still be a billionaire?
God, I said in front of a billionaire that I was going to smash him down with 500 million?
As soon as he thought of his arrogant speech before, sweat surged on his head, it turned out that this was the other party's confidence! What I did before was useless!
Bastard! What are you so talented for! Even if you start a company, you can even wear many hats, and you can earn 100 million in a year! Can't you just follow the example of other poor scum and visionless buns, kneeling down and begging for mercy from Sony's golden egg offensive!
The more he watched it, the more numb his scalp became, the other party was not short of money or fame, and it seemed that he came to sing rock and roll, which is to play tickets......
It's impeccable! Is it true that Sony doesn't even have the last bit of bargaining chips?
I really don't know what kind of mood people feel when the people at the headquarters send a fax.
Just then, the phone rang.
The assistant answered the phone and said, "Headquarters, there are instructions from the headquarters, and they have drawn up a contract ......."
---
After the break, the two sides sat down at the negotiating table again.
"Mr. Li, Sony has already paid you the lawyer's fees, so I hope you can show your sincerity." Minister Gotomoto's face was blank, and it was impossible to guess his inner thoughts, "I would like to announce to you that the framework of our company under this negotiation-"
Li Shanhe frowned, he had a bad premonition.
"First, you sign a contract of intent and make sure that you don't approach any other record company during the negotiations. This article is in force only for the duration of the negotiations. β
After talking with the lawyer, Li Shanhe nodded: "Yes, what's next?" β
"-- Article 2, I would like you to renounce your Chinese nationality and become a Japanese citizen."
Li Shanhe raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter, right?" Anyway, whether you are exploring the American market, whether I am Chinese or Japanese, it doesn't make a difference to you, right? β
I want to know the inside story, too!
"I'm just relaying orders from headquarters." Minister Goto said expressionlessly.
Seeing Li Shanhe's somewhat angry expression, the lawyer Hashiguchi hurriedly said, "Regarding this issue, please let me discuss it carefully with my client." β
"Please."
When they arrived at the lounge, the lawyer at Hashiguchi persuaded: "Mr. Li, I know you are a little angry, but this is the conspiracy of the other party, entangled in inconsequential small details. I suggest that you agree to the terms of the other party, otherwise the other party will have bargaining chips, which will be very bad for us. β
Li Shanhe's face couldn't guess his thoughts, he looked at the lawyer group behind him and asked, "Do other people also have this view?" β
"That's what we all agree on."
Li Shanhe's index finger tapped lightly on the table, although it was Sony's trick to extort chips, but I have to say, it was very effective.
"I'm not going to accept that." (To be continued.) )
