Chapter 280: Continued Ban
The multi-party stalemate under the negotiation to no avail, can only go to court, because the year is approaching, and the parties involved are heavyweight companies, clubs, players, all hope to resolve the dispute as soon as possible, quickly cut through the mess, so as not to affect the normal operation of the company and the club, Xuhui District People's Court is very efficient, received the complaint on Friday, and began to convene multi-party mediation on Tuesday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two companies moved out of the advertising agreement signed at the beginning, and the club, as the main body of responsibility, led the signing of the advertising contract of the two companies, and should not violate the regulations to sign endorsement advertisements for similar products, and the endorsement contract of Yunfei Group violated the first contract and should be revoked immediately! All advertisements for new products endorsed by Wang Feipeng will be removed from the shelves from now on!
Yunfei Group Co., Ltd. specially hired a lawyer, and immediately defended that Yunfei Group signed endorsement agreements with both clubs, and they did so in full accordance with the contract, without leaving the framework of the agreement, if the club forcibly terminated the contract, Yunfei Group invested a huge amount of money in endorsement advertising, even more than the sum of the two companies, and the loss was huge, and it will definitely make a huge claim for compensation!
The three parties did not back down from each other, and finally all the contradictions were concentrated on the two clubs of the main body of responsibility, and the club agents were forced to turn around, annoyed and angry, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, not to maintain the players, but to transfer the contradictions, saying that Wang Feipeng signed a contract with the two clubs and violated the player's contract, which led to today's dispute!
Wang Feipeng was angry when he heard it, and he was fighting to transfer it to him! Although he has been playing in two clubs for more than 1 year and has a deep relationship, he does not protect the interests of the players at the critical moment, but pours dirty water on him, and if he does not fight back, the responsibility will fall on him in the end!
At this point, Wang Feipeng also let go, took out the internal contract signed with the club, and moved out the main terms and emphasized: "I signed a contract with the club, and the two parties agreed that all the terms are limited to the sport and do not involve other sports, which means that I signed a contract with a football club and cannot sign a contract with other football clubs, but signing a contract with a basketball club does not violate the provisions of the contract!" ”
Everyone present was shocked, and the mediation judge asked him to submit the contract, and after reading it carefully, he was only halfway through it, and was immediately shocked by the content of the contract, which involved a wide range, high requirements, and the death of restrictions, unheard of! Players' salaries, bonuses, endorsements, and transfers are all covered to death, and there are strict confidentiality regulations!
As soon as the internal contract appeared, the two clubs suddenly died down, they knew that many overlord clauses of this contract, if leaked, far-reaching impact and serious consequences, but they didn't expect Wang Feipeng to take it out, violating the confidentiality requirements of the internal contract, which means that he will not get a penny of the salary deducted by the club, which is enough for millions, this is a ruined boat!
When he was in college, Wang Feipeng couldn't even fill his belly, and now he has a net worth of 5 million, which is not what it used to be, he is still used to living frugally, he doesn't have too much thirst for too much money, and he looks down on the salary of the club.
Although the internal contract contains many overlord clauses, but this is an agreement reached between the two parties, the mediation judge has no right to interfere, find the terms mentioned by Wang Feipeng, read carefully, sure enough, as he said, this contract has many names and clauses, but it left this loophole, it is really a thousand miles of river embankment destroyed in an anthill, with this clause, he cannot be held accountable for stepping on two boats! The mediation judge read the terms to everyone present, and for a while, all the parties involved fell silent!
As an economics student, Wang Feipeng did not have many objections to other terms, but he always insisted on adding this provision, which was to seek a way out for the development of both sides, and as a result, it did not promote two-way development, but played a role in advertising disputes!
When the club management first negotiated, they never imagined that a player would still have the physical fitness and skills to play another high-intensity professional sport after so many grueling games, so they let their guard down and let him take advantage of it.
When the advertising agreement was signed, it was clearly stipulated that it was not allowed to endorse similar product advertisements, and the club disregarded the interests of the business, signed a multi-party contract, violated the regulations, and must bear the corresponding liability for breach of contract!
On the one hand, the club has signed a similar advertising agreement, on the other hand, the time is too tight, if it is according to the normal procedure, it is not only difficult to achieve, but also too late! So he used the strong network of M2 Bar to avoid the agent who negotiated with the two companies at the beginning, and found another agent who was not familiar with the previous agreement to negotiate, and brought them to M2 Bar respectively, poured wine hard, and found a few beautiful princesses to accompany them, repeatedly claiming that Yunfei Group operates business, leisure, and sports three kinds of wear goods, not just sporting goods, and there is little conflict with the previous contract. The club's career is thriving, win-win cooperation, mutual loss, who would be stupid to break the cooperation?
Stimulated by the wine and beauty, the club's advertising agents fell instantly, if they can negotiate a big advertising contract, they will get more bonuses, and most of the advertisements for looking for stars are sporting goods companies, there is a big advertisement in front of the press, and it is difficult to pick the right one in the back, and now there is Yunfei Group to take the initiative to send it to the door, and the advertising fee is not low, the conflict is not obvious, the agent is naturally overjoyed, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.
It is for this reason that the two clubs have signed two advertising contracts, and now the two companies can't find Wang Feipeng trouble, and the guns are turned to the club in unison.
When the mediation judge sees the escalation of the conflict, he recommends a one-hour break to allow the two parties to communicate with each other, find a balance, and then mediate after one hour. Wang Feipeng has always been on the same front with Yunfei Group, so naturally there is no way to compromise, so the two clubs and the agents of the two companies hid in the next room to discuss and study the compromise plan.
Time passed quickly, the mediation continued, the judge first asked the opinions of the two companies, and the agents sat together, and the requirements were also the same, and put forward three plans: one required the club to terminate the endorsement contract of Yunfei Group, terminate the endorsement activities of Yunfei Group, and the two parties continued to perform the previously signed advertising contract and no longer pursue relevant responsibilities; 2. If the club continues to perform the endorsement contract of Yunfei Group, they will terminate the advertising contract signed by the two parties, and require the club to compensate them for all losses, including advertising fees, publicity fees, brand impact fees, etc.; 3. If Yunfei Group is unwilling to terminate the endorsement contract with the club and requires the club to ban the advertising spokesperson, they can suspend the original advertising contract without claiming compensation.
What a cruel request! This is to force Wang Feipeng to break with Yunfei Group, but this is his company, how can he agree to such an impudent request? At the behest of Wang Feipeng, the lawyer representing Yunfei Group immediately refused to accept the termination of the endorsement contract, and if the club unilaterally requested the termination of the contract, they would make a high demand for compensation!
If you can't terminate the contract with Yunfei Group and avoid being claimed by the two companies, the only way out is to ban Wang Feipeng, the club and the two companies know that the boss behind Yunfei Group is Wang Feipeng, and only through the ban can he be forced to terminate the contract! If he doesn't accept the threat, the ban lasts for a long time, and when he disappears from the field, his star effect gradually loses, and when the time comes, the impact will be minimal.
Obviously, this is a negotiation between the club and the business, and the two clubs simultaneously proposed that they hope that Yunfei Group will automatically terminate the contract, and the club can consider giving appropriate compensation, and the club will continue to fulfill the original advertising agreement with the two companies, otherwise the club can only take measures to ban Wang Feipeng!
Everyone turned their eyes to Wang Feipeng, and the mediation judge first asked the opinion of the lawyer representing Yunfei Group, and the lawyer also turned his eyes to Wang Feipeng, waiting for his reply. If he agrees to their coercion and terminates the endorsement contract of Yunfei Group, all the advertisements and model displays he participated in will be taken off the shelves, which will be a fatal blow to the new products of Yunfei Group, and it will also cause great emotional damage to employees.
The new company has just opened, the new product has just been pre-sold, the new brand has just been established, and it is all based on him as the theme, if he agrees at this moment, the connotation of the new brand will be gone, and the popularity that has just gathered will quickly dissipate, and maybe it will cause a large area of returns! If he retreats at this moment, will these big-name companies die down? Definitely not, they will still press forward step by step, trying to drag down the new company! At this moment, he needs to have the courage to take responsibility, face difficulties, and lead his colleagues in the new company to work together to overcome difficulties!
Wang Feipeng stood up, towering and upright, his eyes were bright, exuding a stunning light, his voice was loud and sonorous: "Yunfei Group will not take the initiative to terminate the contract, I will continue to endorse all the products of Yunfei Group, what measures the club takes against me, I have no right to interfere, I hope not to sacrifice a courage and a hope for the sake of immediate interests!" ”
Although Wang Feipeng plays a pivotal role in the team, but in the face of the two giant businessmen, as well as the huge pressure of the Basketball Association and the Football Association, after the negotiation failed, the club can only take the punishment of ban, they believe that as long as the ban continues, he and his new company will definitely compromise, without the support of the interpretation of the field, he and his new company will be difficult, unable to move an inch!
In the short term, the team's performance is affected by the point, if the two major financiers are offended, the future troubles will be endless, and the relationship network involved in the back is too large and too complicated, and even affect the future development of the club!
The two companies also believe that no matter which path Wang Feipeng takes, either the endorsement contract will be terminated or banned, and the development of Yunfei Group will also come to an abrupt end, losing its vitality and prospects, and the threat to the company has been lifted! And they most want him to be permanently banned, on the surface, the players who can't be used by them, no matter how powerful and popular, they can't enjoy the dividends of his fame all over the world.
In fact, at the beginning of the incident, the two companies got hints from the network behind them to do everything they could to keep the kid away from the ring, and they also provided a lot of valuable information. I thought that Wang Feipeng's hegemony in the sports world today would be difficult to shake even if the two companies joined forces, let alone keep him away from the arena!
But with the development of the incident, they saw hope, first of all, in public opinion, the condemnation and criticism overshadowed the voice of support, and then the appeal submitted to the Football Association and the Basketball Association was also supported by some officials, and put pressure on the club through normal channels!
At this point in the incident, the network behind him also provided a solution to the problem, which was supposed to make him entangled in lawsuits and then banned, but he didn't expect to take out the internal contract and state that it would not involve other sports to resolve the crisis.
In the end, they bite the ban and threaten to lure the club, and he will definitely compromise. But in fact, they have long judged that with Wang Feipeng's personality and the status of the new company in his heart, he will definitely not compromise and slide into the abyss of being banned step by step!
In the afternoon, under the urging of the merchants, the two clubs issued an internal ban statement at the same time, claiming that Wang Feipeng set up a company to develop new products during the competition, devoted himself to product publicity and marketing, and privately expanded the endorsement content and projects, which not only seriously affected the training and games, but also had a bad impact on the club, so he was temporarily banned, hoping that he would change his mind as soon as possible, actively participate in the team's training and games, and make due contributions to the team, club and national team!
This is also the sinister intention of the network behind the two businesses, which is to force Wang Feipeng to comply, in essence, deepen the contradiction between the club and him, force him into a dead end, and cut off his hope of returning to the club! The internal statement is only for the team's coaches, players and parties, and there is no way for the outside world to know, but the news of Wang Feipeng's continued ban was quickly spread and caused an uproar on the Internet.
According to insiders, the club adopted a ban and sacrificed Wang Feipeng in exchange for the two companies to withdraw the lawsuit, and the two parties reached a settlement, which is a new star carrying the hope of Chinese football and basketball! Hope to go out of Asia and go to the world! There was a lot of scolding on the Internet! They have condemned the immoral behavior of the club and the business, abused the inaction of the Football Association and the Basketball Association, and allowed the club to trample on the sports eagles that have just taken off~
However, businesses, clubs, basketball and football associations collectively remained silent, only Yunfei Group continued to broadcast advertisements endorsed by Wang Feipeng, and fans gradually turned this anger into sympathy, and regarded the purchase of his endorsed products as silent support and encouragement to him, and also spontaneously actively promoted new brands and new products on the Internet, which once again stimulated the pre-sale volume of Yunfei Group!
In just one week, the pre-sales volume of the three major brands of Yunfei Group approached 10 million pieces, and the sales exceeded 1 billion yuan!
