Chapter 21 One person does things and one person is responsible

On the other side of the ocean, the Android Developer Conference has come to an end, and Hatsune's engineers will spend a few days working to communicate with Google's engineers about the hardware standards set by Hatsune, and the matter is completely over.

As for the other competitors, at this point, they have nothing to do, and the small factories that want to return to China can already go back to their own homes to find their own mothers.

Gu Mojie plans to stay for a few more days, chat with various California giants, and then return to China. On Quan Baoer's side, because the localized production team was almost ready, they were busy again and gradually entered a state of semi-construction.

On this day, just after finishing the MV for a recording and preparing to call it a day, Boa received a transatlantic phone call, which was Kim Tae-yeon's mobile phone number. She was slightly surprised, but she still picked it up, and the voices of Kim Taeyeon and Lim Yoona immediately came from the other end of the phone.

"Boer Oni, our biggest endorsement of the year has been cancelled, woooooooooo Did you hear that you offended people in the United States? We don't blame you, you have to be careful. ”

When she first received a call from across the ocean, Quan Baoer was in a good mood at first, after all, those were the little sisters she had brought with her for several years and were also trained by teachers and friends. However, after listening to the other party's short cry, she immediately felt like falling into an ice cave.

"What? How so? Whose endorsement is it? ”

Kim Taeyeon is one year older than Yoona, has more knowledge, and speaks in an organized manner, so she helped to say: "It's the endorsement of LG mobile phones that has been lifted." A few days ago, at our annual family concert in Hujiang, China, we encountered a boycott from the Black Sea, and the sisters were sad. It is estimated that LG found that our brand value had declined, so they found an excuse to remove the endorsement, in fact, we all know that you are not to blame for this, it is caused by our own strength and popularity. But I'm afraid that the other party will feel that the revenge is not enough, and they will continue to target you. ”

After Taeyeon explained the main causes and consequences, Yoona added next to her, "Yes, yes, and we, the producer who originally made the MV for "Chocolate LOVE", are the producers of the company's first album in the United States." It can be seen how much attention the company attaches to it and how much effort it has spent, and now not only the endorsement fee is gone, but the cost of the early investment is also lost. ”

The two little girls talked a lot of nonsense, and it wasn't until Bao'er's head was about to explode that they figured out the context of the matter and recognized the strictness of the matter.

Specially made a MV for a certain product of a certain brand, and put it on the album as the title song, it can be said to be the highest standard endorsement that singers can do - you don't see, the later generations of Girls' Generation have been popular for so many years, and have made so many albums and so many songs, and there is only one "Chocolate LOVE", it can be clearly seen that "it is specially tailored for LG's chocolate mobile phone".

This kind of endorsement, after receiving such an order, the advertising fee you can receive is enough to shoot dozens of TV commercials, and sometimes there is even a "sales increase part of the dividend" that can be taken - the other company will sign in the endorsement agreement, such as before the endorsement, how much is the annual sales of the product, after the endorsement, if the total sales of the product rises, the endorsement artist can take a few percentage points from the increase part.

This is simply a contract that lays golden eggs, but it was canceled by LG.

Bao'er is a person who has been in the circle for seven years, and of course she knows the weight of this. The nine little sisters of Girls' Generation, after suffering this heavy setback, have almost done it for nothing this year. The cost of the system invested in the early stage will be reversed, and other commercial performances will basically be washed away, and they will be able to earn a basic salary.

A heavy sense of guilt arose in her heart: "How can this be! That Gu Guangmo is so unreasonable! How can I secretly slander our company's artists for having a tendency to defect and change endorsements because of my personal relationship with Brother Jie! And it's just for me, why do you want to hurt the innocent and attack the little sisters...... They are actually vulnerable, they have just been killed by the Black Sea, and they actually make up for ......"

Bao'er gritted her teeth, cleaned up her image, changed into formal clothes, washed off her makeup, and put anti-wolf pepper water spray and electric shocker in her bag, and decided to negotiate with Gu Guangmo.

WEARING A FORMAL OUTFIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAIRED WITH HIGH HEELS, BUT WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE, SHE HESITATED AND SWITCHED BACK TO HER FAVORITE PAIR OF REEBOK'S LACELESS SNEAKERS. (Don't doubt it, she is wearing "Reebok", this is a historical fact)

She is a person who loves shoes, in addition to drinking and eating cold drinks, whenever she is stressed, buying shoes can be described as the third magic weapon to relieve pressure. Although there are five times as many high-heeled shoes in the shoe closet as there are sneakers, she still chooses to wear sneakers when she is forced to do so.

In particular, wearing sneakers makes it easier to escape.

……

In the supporting lounge next to the main lecture hall of the Villa Hotel, Kwon Baoer asked to meet Gu Guangmo, the prince of LG Group, without makeup.

She wasn't stupid enough to go directly to the other party's room, nor did she choose to find a private room in the restaurant. After weighing it, I finally chose this reception room - this is usually a place for the VIP in the main lecture hall to hold seminars, and to chat during the break, which is somewhat private, but not too private, and not afraid of being made out of line.

Gu Guangmo went to the appointment as scheduled. As soon as he saw Bao'er's appearance without makeup, he was slightly disappointed, and said coldly:

"What? Miss Kwon is suddenly free today? I remember you were so busy a few days ago, why didn't you get busy after you started filming the MV recently? Haven't you always been diligent? ”

Bao'er tried her best to control her feelings, and said without being humble or arrogant: "Gu Gongzi, I think you know my intention to come today." I didn't accept your invitation last time, and it was indeed rude on my part. But I want you to show your own bearingβ€”whoever you have an opinion about, just come at me, why hurt the innocent? Taeyeon and Yoona worked hard for three or four years before they got a chance to debut. Now you've just encountered a little difficulty, and you're in the middle of the ground. ”

Gu Guangmo is very calm, without the slightest intention of being angry, today's situation is the home field for him.

He is not the kind of idiot rich second generation in Xiaobaiwen, knowing that the other party has a backstage and still thinks he can get it, so he just hopes that he can humiliate the other party, and just vent his anger.

"Miss Quan doesn't seem to be sincere at all, is this the attitude that you should have when talking about things sincerely? But I'm very generous, and I can give you a chance to talk about your terms - you can tell me, if I want to let go of the endorsement contract of Girls' Generation, what will you give me in exchange? ”

Bao'er settled down and said calmly: "If you want to use the resources at hand to block it, then block me - my propaganda in South Korea, you can block it as much as you want, and it will be the price I paid for my faux pas." But don't do it to innocent people. ”

"Hehe, are you kidding? Who doesn't know that you mixed with Japan in your early years, and now you are mixed with the United States, and you don't need propaganda at all, and domestic fans will buy your account - I blocked you in South Korea, is it useful? Gu Guangmo felt that the other party was a little silly and cute, after all, she was a girl who had never studied in college, and she didn't know the meticulousness of the world's calculations, "Since I made a move, I must find the part that hurts the other party." With all your whimsical words, I can only think that you are insincere. ”

"Gu Gongzi! Is it really good to just fight for such a little will, regardless of the good business cooperation? Although Girls' Generation has suffered a boycott, it will definitely be more popular in the future. I'm an insider, I know what they're capable of, and you'll regret it. ”

Gu Guangmo was indifferent: "At least for now, it seems that there is no such opportunity." Even if it might be popular in the future, I don't care - you don't understand the world of rich people at all. You've disgraced me! ”

Bao'er smiled sadly: "I think I am also a rich man, and I have a family fortune of tens of billions of won since I was a child, this battle of will is not worth losing both sides - but my realm and you chaebol holding trillions of won must be too far behind, maybe we really can't understand each other." ”

She has a temperament that she can afford to let go, and now her horizons have been broadened, and she will not sell herself for a business of hundreds of millions of yuan. Let's talk about it, it's just to do some of the sisterhood of the junior sister, and break the innocent guilt in my heart.

Since Gu Guangmo is not a person who can be reasonable, Bao'er will definitely not talk nonsense, and leave in style. It's a big deal to look back and calculate, how much income the nine junior sisters of Girls' Generation have lost in this cooperation, and she will compensate them out of her own pocket.

Bao'er knows how to do it, and after a little estimate, she knows that the endorsement fee that each of Taeyeon and Yuna finally received is only a few million yuan, and the nine people together may need more than 20 million. This amount of money is Bao'er's income for half a year, and the big deal is to work hard for half a year.

She didn't make music for money, but for love, so she can naturally live freely. After packing up her things and carrying her bag in her hand, Bao'er got up and gave a final salute to Gu Guangmo, and then said goodbye and left: "I will compensate for the losses of my junior sisters myself, so be it." ”

"You! …… Okay, you are tough, you want to play 'money like dung' with me, right? Gu Guangmo himself didn't know why, it seemed that the reverse scale in his heart was angered. suddenly burst out and grabbed Bao'er's arm.

Since he was a child, he looked up to his uncle's family's money and longed to become the heir to the chaebol. And his uncle had an only son in his early years, that is, Gu Guangmo's cousin, but he died unexpectedly when he was a teenager, which gave Gu Guangmo a chance to succeed. His body has ups and downs, so he attaches great importance to money, thinking that it is the foundation of his glory.

Anyone who dares to put on an expression of "isn't there just a few stinky money" in front of him will make him extremely angry and occasionally lose control. In addition, this is Hollywood, Vanity Fair, where money and beauty are traded, and there are a lot of third-tier peripheral women who have slept in the past few days, so he is even more impetuous.

"Let go! Are you crazy! This is the United States, you dare to mess around......"

"I know I can't get on you, but I have the means to humiliate you by making you unable to examine your injuries and leave no evidence!" Gu Guangmo twisted Bao'er's face, pinched his neck and turned around, "I want to carefully identify your face, how many knives have you suffered!" ”

"Crackling~" There was a muffled sound, and Bao'er slipped against the wall with a red face and fell to the ground, panting violently on her chest, rubbing her choked neck. Then he quickly put the electric shocker back into his bag and ran away from the door. (To be continued.) )
