Chapter 202: We... Cooperation may be suspended
Hearing the other party's chuckle, the secretary was slightly stunned.
As a young person who surfs the Internet all year round, I actually have another level of understanding of the word 'hehe'.
That's what wqnmlgb means in a pejorative sense.
The reason why the word 'hehe' is used instead of the derogatory meaning mainly reflects the attitude of young people who want to speak in a way and want to be euphemistic.
However, this is limited to the younger group of the Internet, because for many older people, hehe still means laughing.
But what is the situation now?
The boss of that small company actually said, 'Huh'?
The implication is to scold me, be speechless to me, and don't want to talk?
I came to communicate with you, you have this attitude?
Thinking of this, the secretary's already dissatisfied mood rose again.
"Mr. Meng? What are you? ”
Meng Shu on the other end of the phone quickly spoke, and his attitude was indicated in the first sentence.
[Unfortunately, no.] ]
After a pause, the voice continued.
[This young lady, we have always maintained a pleasant business cooperation with Infinite Net Entertainment, and the contract was also signed very satisfactorily at that time. ]
[Over the past year, we have both been helping each other and developing together. Now you suddenly come to me and ask for copyright, on the grounds that the poor supervisor I was dealing with had made a mistake in his work and wanted to correct the mistakes of both of us. I'm afraid I can't convince me of this reason. ]
[I'm very busy now, I have a lot of things to do, and there is an announcement to be made in a few days, I really don't have time to talk to you about this, please let your leader come and talk to me.] ]
When the secretary heard this, he knew that this was the rhythm of hanging up the phone, and hurriedly opened his mouth eagerly to keep people.
"So, Mr. Meng, I called to talk to you. On behalf of my leadership and the interests of Unlimited Internet Entertainment, I would like to discuss with you how to solve this matter. ”
"You have to know, this matter can't be solved without solving it, please cooperate with us, thank you."
Meng Shu on the other end of the phone smiled.
[I'm sorry, no.] ]
[However, I can explain to you why the copyright is on our side, not on your Unlimited Internet Entertainment.] ]
Meng Shu paused and continued to speak.
[You just said that all the companies that cooperate with your unlimited online entertainment have the copyrights of their products in the hands of your unlimited online entertainment.] ]
[Well, based on what I know about the industry.] It is very likely that this is produced by these small companies at your own expense. Because only if the publisher has contributed his own funds, can he have the copyright holding. ]
[It's like preparing a movie.] It is funded by the producer, and then the producer is found to share the risk, and then the director team is invited to shoot. In this way, the copyright is finally in the hands of the producer and the major producers who share the risk. The director team does not have copyright holding. ]
[Miss, do you understand?] Our only game is different, we don't need a penny from you Infinite Online Entertainment to help us develop the game from beginning to end, we have always been like an ally. When the game is finished, we just need you to help us promote it. So in this case, copyright is also reasonable on our side, I hope you understand. ]
Secretary:.
The secretary was silent.
What's going on with this little boss?
Did he think he was bargaining with some other small company of the same size?
What is the scale of Unlimited Online Entertainment?
Big business!
Are you attached to us, dependent on us, and want to take all the benefits?
Affiliation?
Are you really indispensable to your company?
Without the promotion channel of unlimited online entertainment, what should you do?
Even if another publishing company comes over and takes over, can you guarantee that they can make the same big upfront investment as we do?
I thought that everyone's calm communication would make the work better, so that you are good and I am good.
Although you don't have the copyright of the work, you can take the resources and channels, and the rest will be the same as before.
What are you doing with that IP?
When a family heirloom?
For a while, the secretary's originally unhappy mood calmed down slightly.
Because she knew that if this copyright issue could not be discussed, her leadership would not be able to do this business.
At the same time, this small company that does not know the height of the sky will most likely be treated coldly in the future.
Resources and technical support or anything, don't think about it.
"Mr. Meng, please pay attention. We, Infinite Net Entertainment, are talking with Amagi Pictures about a film and television business project. Did you know Amagi Pictures? Last year's popular movie "Black Teacher and Student Love" was produced by them. ”
"The content of the project is the film and television of the game. The main focus is to enhance the value of IP and present the game to the market in another form of entertainment that is more acceptable. ”
"This project was personally discussed by the leader, and the company attached great importance to it. We don't want to get stuck with you, so we ask you to cooperate. ”
"That's the only way."
[You use our company's stuff to negotiate business?] ]
Suddenly, Meng Shu's voice on the phone rose high and interrupted the secretary's words.
This made her pause slightly, and once again dissatisfied.
"Mr. Meng, I repeat, please don't interrupt me."
[I'm asking you!] Did you take our company's games to talk about business? ]
This voice is right.
His tone was like a bell.
The sudden change of momentum, and the two consecutive interruptions, made the secretary across the phone tremble.
At that moment, she felt as if she was facing her own leader, under pressure.
[Yes, or no?] ]
Meng Shu's voice came again, and its questioning flavor made the secretary's pride unacceptable. But in the face of this question, I don't know how to answer it.
"Mr. Meng Meng. Don't get excited. Let's have a good talk in peace, shall we?"
[Yes?] ]
The one-word question made the secretary feel an urge to hang up the phone.
But she knew in her heart that if she hung up like this, it would be a confirmation of not admitting herself.
Now the tone of the person in charge on the other side is full of invisible oppression that belongs to the leader, so she has to grit her teeth and insist.
Just as she was about to speak, a cold voice came from the other end of the phone again.
[You don't have to answer, look at you like this, there is no difference between answering and not answering.] I said how to cooperate, and suddenly came over to change the hexagram, and I did it for a long time to take our company's things to do business. ]
[Let me ask you, did Mr. Liang call you here?] ]
This question made the secretary speechless again.
At the same time, it also made her feel a little uneasy.
What's the situation.
This Mr. Meng. Do you know the chairman.?
No way... There are many small companies that cooperate with Unlimited Internet Entertainment. But their bosses are only exposed to the level of department heads and department managers at most...
Some don't even have access to department managers.
Not to mention the COO, CEO, and chairman.
But this Mr. Meng... It seems like. Have an intersection with the chairman.?
Just when the secretary didn't know how to answer, Meng Shu's next sentence completely confirmed her conjecture.
[You go and tell Mr. Liang that it's okay to talk about copyright, ask him to call me, or ask Director Lian to come and talk to me.] It's not just a random call to someone I don't know to let me do this and that, and work hard. ]
These words have two meanings, and the secretary hears them.
First, I only talk to people I know, even if it's a supervisor.
Second, you're not worthy.
The secretary, who was not stupid, bit her lower lip, and from the moment Mr. Meng's attitude changed, she only said one sentence weakly.
Now she is being pressed all the way, which makes her pride as the COO secretary unacceptable.
So, she took a deep breath and spoke softly.
"Mr. Meng Meng. If the leader's work is not going well because of your relationship. Do you have to take responsibility... Please understand... We reserve the right not to promote your products."
…
There was a pause on the phone, and then he spoke.
[Oh, really?] ]
The secretary swallowed his saliva, and when he felt that the other party was not so pressing, he also spoke.
"Yes... If it's a little more serious. We'll probably be direct."
After a pause, the secretary hesitated, as if considering whether to say the next thing.
But in the next second, her eyes were firm and she answered.
“… Directly terminate the cooperation...! ”
Silence –
The two were speechless.
The other end of the phone didn't seem to expect to say such a thing, and for a while, I didn't know how to react.
But the secretary's side was a little apprehensive.
For some reason, after these words came out, she had two moods that were entangled with each other.
One is to be relieved and liberated from the pressure of the leader's questioning just now.
One is anxiety, after all, adults are responsible for speaking.
Especially this kind of speech involving interests in the workplace, if you don't pay attention, you may have no future.
Although she added the word 'maybe', and it was only verbal, that warning should be fine.
However, the secretary is also very annoyed now, and at the same time has some awakening.
Suppose Mr. Meng. It is really possible to know the chairman of that their contract. It's special.
The secretary was stunned at the thought of this.
If that's the case, shouldn't this small company be treated like any other small company?
Just as the secretary's thoughts were fluttering, on the phone, Meng Shu smiled again.
[Hello, whether this cooperation should continue or not, in fact, it is not a big headache for us now.] ]
[Continue to cooperate, yes, let's make it easy.] It's okay to stop the cooperation, we do it ourselves, it doesn't matter. ]
[But I know you can't be the master.] ]
[So, you better go back and tell Mr. Liang and ask him to call me.] Or, ask your leader to give me a call. ]
[That's it, I'm busy, hang up first.] ]
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang busy.
Didn't wait for the secretary to speak.
She stared blankly at her phone, speechless for a moment.
This contact, not only did not get things done, but I was also questioned, and I was very aggrieved.
Recalling what had just happened, the secretary pursed his lower lip and dialed the phone number of the COO of the direct leader.
