Chapter 90: I Don't Want Money
Chen Lu finally guessed that the brand trademark that Yi Yao wanted to register was Daoqin.
Chen Lu guessed that the word Daoqin obviously did not have a registered trademark, otherwise Yi Yao would not have thought of such an excellent brand trademark. Qin Yanshan is the non-genetic inheritor of Dao Qin bamboo weaving, and Chen Lu naturally knows how much gold these two words have.
If you can preemptively register the Daoqin trademark before Yi Yao, even if you can't bring down a touch of the studio, it will make a touch of the studio go through a predicament, not to mention, Chen Lu has the next step, which is enough to drag down a touch of the studio.
But now the question is who should register the trademark Daoqin?
Chen Lu knew that if she told Zhang Yunchuang about this idea, she would definitely be able to gain more trust from Zhang Yunchuang, but Chen Lu also knew that once the trademark was handed over to Zhang Yunchuang, everything would be out of her control.
Chen Lu thought of Mr. Wang, but she finally drew a line with Mr. Wang, and now her relationship with Li Xiang is gradually improving, and she doesn't want to fall into the quagmire again.
Thinking about it, Chen Lu didn't think of the right person.
When Chen Lu was embarrassed, Dong Zhi called him.
Since the last time Dong Zhi came to Beijing to look for Chen Lu and was driven back to his hometown by Mr. Wang, although Dong Zhi has no illusions about Chen Lu, Chen Lu's parents are unwell during this time, and Dong Zhi has always been helping to take care of them.
Dong Zhi called, just to tell Chen Lu to let her take the time to go home and have a look, Chen Lu's parents are not in good health.
Chen Lu knew that his parents' heart had been bad, and he was about to hang up the phone to call his parents, when he was suddenly stunned and asked Dong Zhi: "Dong Zhi, can you do me a favor?" ”
Dong Zhi was also surprised, she didn't expect Chen Lu to ask her for help one day.
Although Chen Lu's family background is not good, she is outstandingly good-looking, and she has had many suitors since junior high school. Dong Zhi is a neighbor of Chen Lu's family, and the elders have always had a good relationship. Dong Zhi has always liked Chen Lu, although Dong Zhi did not study well and failed to be admitted to university, Dong Zhi has always had a crush on Chen Lu. Later, Chen Lu returned to the county after graduating from university, and Dong Zhi's parents also asked someone to contact Chen Lu's parents to promote the marriage.
Although a lot of things happened later, and the two failed to get together in the end, Dong Zhi never forgot Chen Lu.
"You say."
Dong Zhi didn't even ask what was going on, and directly asked Chen Lu to tell him what he wanted to help.
Chen Lu also owes a little in his heart, although Dong Zhi even came to Beijing from his hometown in order to find Chen Lu, and inquired about Chen Lu's situation from community to community, but seeing Dong Zhi agreeing so happily, Chen Lu also knew that Dong Zhi was not as terrifying as she imagined.
"Can you help me register a trademark, don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will give you a sum of money."
Chen Lu can only use money to alleviate her debts.
Dong Zhi just smiled: "I don't want money, just tell me how to do it." By the way, take the time to come back and see your aunts and uncles, they miss you so much. ”
Chen Lu called her parents and knew that they had not given up on Chen Lu's marriage, and that physical discomfort had been an old problem for many years.
Chen Lu sent a sum of money to her parents and did not go back.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Chen Lu asked Dong Zhi to come to Beijing and registered a company in the name of Dong Zhi, and really grabbed the registration right of the Daoqin trademark.
Dong Zhi's family is very wealthy, at least in their local area. Dong Zhi had been helping out in the business of the auto repair shop at home before, but Dong Zhi had no interest in auto repair, and he had always been idle.
This time when he came to Beijing, Chen Lu originally planned to borrow Dong Zhi's identity to build a shell company, but Dong Zhi thought about it and decided to stay and try, so he asked for a sum of money from his parents to set up a very small milk tea shop in Beijing.
Seeing that Chen Lu was a little embarrassed, Dong Zhi comforted Chen Lu: "Don't worry, I don't have any other meaning to stay here, I really don't want to live in the auto repair shop, I haven't been outside by myself when I'm so big, I want to try how many pounds and taels I have, it has nothing to do with you." ”
Dong Zhi said this, Chen Lu had no reason to force it anymore, and took Dong Zhi to the neighborhood next to him to see the house.
Originally, Chen Lu planned to help Dong Zhi find a rental house within the Fourth Ring Road, but Dong Zhi said that the money was all given to him by his parents to start a business, and he didn't see any entrepreneur who could enter the Fourth Ring Road in the first place.
Chen Lu didn't think about it, Dong Zhi finally rented a partition room near the Tongzhou orchard, and what she didn't expect was that the house Dong Zhi rented was the one that Chen Lu lived in before. Although Dong Zhi went to see the house when there were already tenants inside, Dong Zhi gave the other party three months' rent and asked him to change places, and the other party saw that it was such a big bargain and did not take Dong Zhi's money, so he did a transfer with the landlord and left the house in a hurry without taking anything and luggage, for fear that Dong Zhi would regret it.
Anyway, the trademark has been registered, which still gives Chen Lu confidence.
During that time, the progress of the Black Springs community was relatively smooth. Although online sales have fluctuated, there has not been much decline overall, and overall sales have remained at a good level. Because of the stability of the online market, the offline sales of editor-in-chief products have also increased to a certain extent. Zhao Defa is a large bamboo weaving dealer in the south, and with his help, more and more merchants have found Qin Yanshan and want to cooperate with Qin Yanshan in the bamboo weaving business.
For a while, the Black Spring community seemed to have completely walked out of the previous predicament, and the smile on the face of every bamboo weaver was so real and pleasant.
After more than a month of operation, the number of fans of the bamboo weaving account has exceeded two million, which is indeed commendable for a new account.
Although Li Xiang's mother Chen Jiamei's condition has not improved significantly, it has not deteriorated further, with the company of Chen Lu and Li Xiang, Chen Jiamei's mood has improved a lot, and Li Xiang has no such a big burden in his heart.
Because of the increase in the number of followers of the account, the person who has changed the most is actually Meng Chen.
From an ordinary graduate of the Acting College, Meng Chen has become a small Internet celebrity with millions of fans. The number of users of the reading platform is very wide, coupled with the huge traffic of 400 million daily active users, Meng Chen has gradually gained some fame, and even the elders and relatives in his hometown have begun to contact Meng Chen frequently.
There must be expansion under the great changes, and for a while, Meng Chen was indeed a little inflated, and he didn't cooperate well when filming videos, and even asked Qin Mo to be matched with an assistant.
Qin Mo also took care of it in her heart, she didn't expect Yi Yao to make such achievements in more than a month, and before the economic contract with Meng Chen could be signed, Meng Chen already had a little fame.
Yi Yao didn't pay much attention to this matter, after all, she had been an operator in Yunchuang for so long, and she had experienced too many things that the little anchor had started to flutter when she had some achievements.
On this afternoon, Li Xiang originally planned to shoot a set of grizzled kitchen shots, but Meng Chen refused to accept the plastering on his face, and several people confronted each other for more than two hours, and finally Zhang Bin went to find Yi Yao.
Yi Yao went to the scene, but he didn't criticize Meng Chen, but said to Li Xiang: "The bottom of the pot is gray and hurts the skin, why don't you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all?" ”
Seeing Yi Yao help him speak, Meng Chen's attitude became even more arrogant, but Li Xiang and a few people were stunned in place, and they were also a little dissatisfied with Yi Yao.
Yi Yao interrupted the filming and took Meng Chen back to his studio on Dawang Road.
As Meng Chen thought, Yi Yao took Meng Chen back to the company this time for the sake of economic contracts.
However, Qin Mo had promised Meng Chen to give her time to think about it, but Yi Yao did not intend to regret it, but asked Meng Chen if there was anything in the contract terms that needed to be deleted or changed.
Although Yi Yao and Qin Mo had given Meng Chen a lot of help before, Meng Chen knew that she was now qualified to negotiate with Yi Yao. Therefore, Meng Chen proposed that the contract period be changed from three years to two years, and the profit share should be increased from the previous 7% to 20%.
Although these requirements seemed excessive, Meng Chen had already lowered the bottom line in her heart, and she originally wanted to increase the share to thirty percent.
In addition, Meng Chen also wanted to add the matter of matching an assistant to the contract in the morning, which was equivalent to a touch of the studio's own expense to hire a person to be Meng Chen's life assistant.
Yi Yao didn't object or agree, but just asked Meng Chen to tighten all the conditions he could think of into the contract sample, and then discuss it.
The two chatted until the evening, and when it was time to eat, Yi Yao got up very happily: "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
Meng Chen thought that Yi Yao would invite him to a big meal, but he didn't expect that Yi Yao took Meng Chen to the stall at the entrance of the Beijing Academy of Performing Arts and ate the spicy crayfish they ate when they met for the first time.
Meng Chen already knew what Yi Yao meant, and Yi Yao did this just to remind Yi Yao not to forget what she was like before, and it was not her own credit that she could have today's results.
Meng Chen was already a little happy in her heart, and Yi Yao's doing this could only show that she was showing weakness.
"After eating this meal, you rest for a few days, I printed two copies of the contract sample, you take this one back and take a good look, if there is anything that needs to be changed, we will communicate later."
Yi Yao said calmly.
Meng Chen never expected Yi Yao to offer to let her rest.
"Rest? How do I shoot a video when I'm resting? How do you get a live broadcast? Meng Chen looked a little nervous, she seemed to have seen from Yi Yao's expression that Yi Yao had already prepared.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged everything, you can rest and rest these days, and you don't have to think about anything about the account. That's right......"
Yi Yao couldn't drink when she drove the car, so she picked up the drink next to her and took a sip before saying, "Meng Chen, no matter what decisions you make these days, I will definitely support you." ”
Meng Chen was caught off guard, she never thought that Yi Yao would give her such a big disadvantage at such a critical time.
Could it be that Yi Yao really wasn't worried about Meng Chen finding another way?
Yi Yao really thought that other MCNs would not accept Meng Chen?
