Chapter 161: Negotiations Failed
No one is a fool, and everyone, no matter who they are, always has a scale in their hearts to weigh the gains and losses of their dealings with the world.
"I don't have much to ask, I only have one question and one request, the question is how much you Phantom intends to pay me, and the demand is that if we can sign a contract, I want full unquestionable command." Lin Feng said lightly. It's not worth it to argue with an employee of Phantom Whisper for this verbal cheapness, and he's not the president, so it's better to talk about something practical.
There will be verbal advantages at the negotiating table, but the fundamental thing is the size of the stakes.
"Command? Mr. Lin, do you mean that you have a problem with your style? This is negotiable. Director Ji frowned, a little dissatisfied with Lin Feng's directness and speaking form, but he still responded to Lin Feng's words.
"No, no, no."
Lin Feng shook his head and denied Director Ji's statement, "Director Ji, you have a little misunderstanding, I mean that I collaborated with your company on this album about Miss Tang Yun, everything is up to me, except for the pricing." ”
"What?"
Director Ji was stunned, this very talented young man is going to be anti-customer-oriented!
"Mr. Lin, isn't your request a bit excessive?" Director Ji restored his appearance, which was a little stunned because of listening to Lin Feng's words, to a state of not being surprised and smiling appropriately.
"I don't want the song to be ruined." Lin Feng said lightly.
"Mr. Lin, you said that you want to have full control of this album, I don't know Mr. Lin Feng, you can make a guarantee for the quality and sales of the album. For example, the mythical guarantee of the album made for Starlight Music. "Director Ji did not continue to dwell on the issue of control, but wanted a guarantee. You want the right, you can, give a guarantee first. When a large company or a big man deals with a partner, and the partner is relatively weak, they like to mention some conditions that can ensure that their own interests are not harmed.
In their eyes, Lin Feng is not weak, and his reputation is not small, but when it comes to some aspects, such as economy, power, etc., they don't pay attention to it.
"I'm sorry, I won't make any guarantees for this album, but I guarantee the album of Mr. Fang Lun of Starlight Music because they are both good Mr. Zhong and Chief Yang, and I do appreciate Mr. Fang Lun more, so I have that mythical guarantee. Since then, I've quietly decided that I'm not going to make any guarantees about album sales, because my name is a guarantee. ”
Lin Feng said softly, and the categorical tone in his tone made Director Ji deeply feel Lin Feng's resoluteness.
Listening to Lin Feng's words, the formula-like expression on Director Ji's face could no longer be maintained, his brows were deeply furrowed, and judging from the unevenness of his face, he seemed to be grinding his teeth, and his teeth were itching with hatred.
"Mr. Lin Feng, our company believes in your strength very much, and the company is quite satisfied with being able to cooperate with Mr. Lin Feng, so we will invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in Ayun's album, if Mr. Lin Feng does not give our company a guarantee, it is more difficult to control all the unquestionable albums." Taking advantage of the time to grind his teeth, Director Ji thought for a while.
"And my company believes that with the strength of our Phantom Music, it will not pull Mr. Lin and you back in some aspects." Director Ji added.
"Director Ji, I am responsible for my songs, and there is no trace of the possibility of the pearl being dusty." Lin Feng smiled, then put away the smile on his face and said solemnly.
How do I feel like my own child, and I can't tolerate criticism at all? Director Ji found a reference in his mind for Lin Feng's behavior.
In the private room, there was silence, except for the intermittent breathing of Lin Feng and Director Ji, Tang Yun and Director Ji's assistants didn't even dare to breathe, they were completely reduced to soy sauce. Although Tang Yun is the protagonist, after all, the protagonist's aura has not yet come, and the glory has not yet begun, so Tang Yun watched with his hands and eyes, remained silent, and resolutely did not come out.
After pondering for a while, Director Ji took a deep breath and made a decision.
"I'm sorry Mr. Lin, I can't respond to your request for the time being, this needs to be discussed in a meeting of the company, and we will talk about this issue next time we negotiate. Let's come to the first question. ”
"No problem, my request was a bit sudden, usually you always have to send a producer. Let's talk about the price you gave me in terms of songs, I have collaborated with Starlight Music on four albums, your company should have news, and it won't be too low, right? He said with a smile, laughing very playfully.
"This ......" Director Ji hesitated, he knew the cost of the song on Starlight's side, two fifty two hundred, and thought about the price given by his company, starting from 200,000, and the tentative price of 200,000 was embarrassed to say it now.
"Mr. Lin Feng, the price we give you for our company's songs is 300,000 yuan per song, which is lower than the remuneration you paid when you wrote songs for Starlight, but the price we paid you for the temporary production of song albums is 1 million. Please think about it and see if you are satisfied. Director Ji thought about it and decided not to say that he would add 100,000 yuan directly, and at the same time quoted the cost of the temporary hire, which was in the middle of the starlight, and neutralized it.
"Hehe, Director Ji, your company has a good calculation, the price of a song is reduced, and the production cost is in the middle, hehe."
Lin Feng opened his mouth with hehe and ended with hehe, and the two meanings made Director Ji a little embarrassed, of course, it was not shown on his face. Don't let the opponent see your bottom line and goals from your face, this is the most basic and of course the deepest kung fu in negotiation, after all, negotiators are also people.
"Mr. Lin Feng, my company thinks that our company has sent some elites to produce albums with you, you only need to command the overall situation, it doesn't take too much hard work, one million is really not low." Director Ji thought of the idea of killing two birds with one stone, because he asked someone to assist you, so it was a middle number, and at the same time, let someone assist, and Lin Feng's idea of being in charge of the production alone was shattered.
"Director Ji, I don't agree with your company's thoughts and opinions, my signboard is still under construction, I don't want to lose the capital for a little profit, and I hope that the albums that go out in my hands can carry my exclusive imprint." Lin Feng didn't have the slightest idea of cooperating with the bookkeeping of Director Ji or the abacus that Phantom Yu played very loudly. If the studio's sign is to resound in the world, you have to look forward.
Walking on the track of life, the immediate interests can often blind our eyes, and for this reason, we always regret not falling when we later pass by the greater interests of the long-term. There are some spots on the track of life, which are the tears we regret leaving at that time.
"This, Mr. Lin Feng, we can only wait until next time to discuss your questions and requirements." With the previous example, Director Ji did not grind his teeth this time and quickly made a response.
"Yes, if your company has a conclusion, just let Miss Tang Yun inform me, but your efficiency is faster, and I will go to Kyoto in a few days." Lin Feng said.
"Huh? Kyoto? Director Ji was stunned.
"The empire is about to start." Lin Feng smiled.
"Oh yes, yes, the Empire is about to begin. Mr. Lin, there are also producers from our company who participated, but not Mr. Xiang Lin Feng, the producers of our company participated in the form of a group, and I hope that Mr. Lin can give advice. After Director Ji suddenly realized, he invited.
Imperial Good Productions allows the group to participate in the competition by one person, after all, not every producer can write and play all the songs, as for the number of people is unfair, you can participate in the competition, and others can't be fair?
"Director Ji is polite, let's study together." Lin Feng said indifferently.
"So be it, we'll talk about it next time. Mr. Lin please. Director Ji picked up the chopsticks, and the dishes on the table were a little cold, and he forgot to eat them. But you can't waste it when it's cold, and it's shameful to waste it.
The main content of this meeting was not resolved, but wasn't it always the case in the negotiations? Director Ji didn't care, there was a time to talk about cooperation, but it didn't work out after half a year. Next time, I didn't expect it to happen all at once. It's just that this is just the habitual thinking of these businessmen, and Lin Feng likes it very much. If Director Guo Ji can agree to Lin Feng's request and properly improve Lin Feng's problem, this cooperation is likely to be solved at one time. It's a pity that negotiators who are not presidents always look ahead.
"Well, thanks. Miss Tang, Assistant Chen, move your chopsticks! Lin Feng picked up the quick chopsticks and said to the two who had been ignored for a long time on the side.
"Hey, okay. Thank you. Although Tang Yun was a little disappointed, she didn't have any overreaction, and what she needed most before success was to wait patiently.
……
……
The sun has set.
After eating what should be considered dinner, Lin Feng said goodbye to Tang Yun and Director Ji and his assistant, and walked towards the bus stop.
Slightly full, Lin Feng passed the bus stop without entering, and walked along the bus stop.
Maybe it's because the time to get off work is approaching, the pedestrians walking on the road can't help but speed up their pace, watching them hurry past them with toolkits or vegetable baskets in their hands, thinking about them going home to cook or eat, Lin Feng can't help but sigh a little at their good habit of going home when they get to the point.
The days make people get used to it, although the days of eating and sleeping at work and off work are monotonous, but all kinds of people in life make people's lives colorful, we should be grateful for life, for the people we meet every day of life, such as Director Ji who paid for dinner today, Tang Yun who started the matter, and the assistant who accompanied the guests, whether it is a friend or an enemy, whether it is familiar or strange, we should be grateful.
Looking at the crowd coming from south to north, Lin Feng thought about it, and suddenly felt that he should post a song, which was not only for the exclamation in front of him, but also for the momentum of participating in a good production.
