The highest floor of the Infinite Internet Entertainment Building is the office space of the chairman of the board of directors.

And this floor is also the symbol of the highest power of the entire company.

The people who can come here for the meeting are people who are important in the company and have a certain right to speak.

At this time, in the conference room of the University.

Chairman Liang had already sat in the main seat and did not say a word.

Behind him, there stood Director Pian.

Below, there are chief financial CFO, chief operating COO, chief technical CTO and others.

They were already sitting upright, waiting for the meeting.

Director Pian spontaneously poured tea for the higher-ups, and then stood aside, waiting for orders.

It didn't take long for the meeting to officially begin with the arrival of the president and CEO.

Just when the high-level executives thought they were going to discuss something big, Mr. Liang's first sentence stunned them.

"This termination contract, Leo, who gave you the go-ahead to do this."

Leo is the English name of Operation Officer Liu in the company.

In some medium-sized and large-sized companies, each senior executive will give himself a decent English name or flower name for the convenience of the title.

Only in this way can we avoid calling each other Mr. XX, or Mr. X.

In some foreign companies, from leaders to employees, English names are required.

As the name suggests, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates.

Therefore, in some foreign companies and large companies, ordinary employees also call their leaders by English names, rather than Mr. Chen and Mr. Li, which is the name of outsiders.

But in Infinite Net Entertainment, except for the people on the board of directors, no one dares to call Mr. Liang by English name or flower name.

Including the CEO himself.

"Uh... No one approved it, it was my own decision. ”

Hearing Operation Officer Liu's words, Mr. Liang snorted and seemed to be a little disappointed.

"What is your idea? In order to sell IP rights, the cooperation with Amagi Pictures? ”

Operation Officer Liu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

He looked around and saw that the other higher-ups were looking at him, uneasy and forced himself to calm down.

"Mr. Liang, I think the cooperation with Amagi Pictures is very promising. This can not only sell the company's game copyrights, but also cause the wind trend of game adaptation, and I believe that with Amagi Pictures' ability, it will definitely be able to do it. As long as they do, the rest of the companies should follow suit, and then the game rights won't have to go unattended like they are now. ”

"The current market needs a strong leader."

Mr. Liang raised his head and looked at Operation Officer Liu.

"I don't comment on your idea, but in order to cooperate with Amagi Pictures, you sold the game rights of other people's companies without authorization?"

"Even in order to maintain this business, he even played a clever trick to preemptively register other people's trademarks? Did you know that this is illegal? Didn't the legal department tell you? ”

"How much impact do you have on Infinite Online Entertainment?"

"What's more, you talked about Amagi Pictures, but you terminated the contract for the only game!"

Mr. Liang slammed the termination contract in his hand on the table, making the originally quiet conference room even more silent.

When several high-level executives heard this, their expressions were slightly surprised, and several eyes looked at Mr. Liang and Operation Officer Liu.

But they didn't have the mentality of watching a good show, but were extremely serious, thinking about the seriousness of this matter.

But at the same time, several high-level officials were also curious.

What kind of business partner is this, so important? So much so that Mr. Liang held a high-level meeting.

Could it be a large foreign company?

At this time, Operation Officer Liu also realized the problem and understood that Mr. Liang valued the small company very much.

But... Why?

Is there anything special about that small company?

Or is it said that the person and Liang are always related?

"Mr. Liang, there is absolutely no other meaning in the only game of termination, purely because the risk assessment is too big."

"Mr. Liang, I am considering the problem from the perspective of the company. That's why I chose to terminate my contract with the only game. ”

"When we work with them, we have to pay for the promotion of their game first. But in this case, if their games don't sell well, then our early advertising investment will not be able to return to the cost at all. You also know that the promotion fee is a huge amount, if the market fails, there is a copyright on our side, then it is acceptable, but there is not even a copyright, which is really not guaranteed. ”

"Therefore, I can't see any benefits that this cooperation can bring to Infinite Net Entertainment. On the contrary, there are risks everywhere. ”

When Operation Officer Liu said this, he looked at Director Lian and pointed the finger at her.

Among them, the supervisor is mainly responsible. It is because of her negligence that our Infinite Internet Entertainment has become a person who purely pays to help. This business ability is really unprofessional, and the poor supervisor must be deeply aware of his mistakes. ”

"What!?"

Director Pian's eyes widened in exclamation, but he quickly covered his mouth and silenced him.

And Operation Officer Liu ignored it and still spoke to himself.

"The only game is that it's completely sucking our blood, and it's luck that makes their game successful. And luck may succeed once or twice, but it can't always succeed for a lifetime. I didn't know there was this cooperation before, but now I find out that for the sake of the company, I have to stop..."

"Do you think I don't know?"

Mr. Liang's sudden interjection interrupted Operation Officer Liu's endless talk, making his next words in his throat and unable to speak.

"Do you think I'm not aware of the terms of the contract? Do you think that this is a cooperation made by the merciful director? ”

Operation Officer Liu: ......

Isn't it?

If you knew, would you still allow this outrageous collaboration?

This is completely putting unlimited online entertainment at the center of risk!

If the huge promotion fee cannot be recovered because the other party's game does not sell well, it is completely unjust!

There's no way you're not aware of what's at stake, unless...

Deliberately!

For a while, Operation Officer Liu didn't know how to reply.

And Mr. Liang looked at the silent COO and snorted coldly.

"Why would I agree to such a contract, why would I agree to work with the only game, haven't you thought about it at all?"

Operation Officer Liu remained silent.

"I don't know, do you? Okay, I'll tell you. Because they have technology that we don't have! They have VR development technology that is not even available abroad! Here's why! This technology of theirs has led to their games being one of the few VR games on the market! ”

As Mr. Liang spoke, he suddenly stood up and looked at the meeting condescendingly.

And Operation Officer Liu's head hung lower.

"If they were just an ordinary game company, would we accept such a partnership? It's because they're not ordinary, they have something that others don't have. ”

"Before I first started working with the only game, I tested them and asked them to come up with a case worthy of our collaboration. They took it out, and now it's still hanging on our platform, called "21 o'clock"! ”

"VR has become as popular as mobile phones, and it is an electronic daily necessities. But because it's not a game console, it's always been a short board in the game field, it doesn't have a suitable game, and even foreign countries can't do it. ”

"But the only game that has done it, they have made a palace-level game in the VR field that is not famous abroad. What does it mean that they have such technology? It means that they have a market that no one can compete for! They have a whole market bonus waiting to make a profit! ”

When the CEO heard this, his eyes lit up.

Oh my God, this is really fake!

That company is so capable!?

For a while, the CEO's mind was full of thoughts, thinking about the benefits and benefits that might be generated by continuing to cooperate.

Previously, when Mr. Liang notified the senior management of the meeting, he had found him alone.

The main thing is to ask him why he passed this termination contract.

At that time, the CEO was confused and completely confused.

The termination document submitted by the COO mentioned that there was a risk of cooperation. He carefully read the contents of the document and found that the situation was true, so he approved it.

Logically speaking, that's fine.

Who would have thought that Mr. Liang called to ask about this, which also made the CEO understand that it was not simple.

I just didn't expect it to be so special!

What others don't have, the only game has! Then they will be able to harvest wildly in the market without any worries!

Because there are no competitors at all!

Working with them, even a little soup can be a good benefit!

On the other hand, the chief financial officer is also thoughtful.

As the person who holds the financial power of the company, she has seen several huge application for promotion expenses before.

And every time it's a game promotion.

Looking back now, it seems that the application form is the only game that Mr. Liang just mentioned.

She still remembers one of the times, because the promotion cost was as high as about 11 million, so she did not approve it directly, but refunded the order to let the applicant give enough reasons and give an analysis of whether it could be profitable.

In retrospect, this incident is a bit outrageous.

Because the company has never spent so much money promoting a game!

But it's unbelievable that it's been done again and again in that one game.

Now combined with what Mr. Liang said, it seems that he is really full of confidence in that company.

It's just that...

Several high-level executives looked at the COO with complicated expressions.

At the meeting, Mr. Liang continued to speak coldly.

"We don't have the VR technology of the only game for the time being, but we can invest in them! Use their technology to earn dividends in the blank market. In other words, working with a unique game is equivalent to a long-term investment with high returns and high returns! ”

"You've always said that risk cooperation, then you, as the COO of the company, you should know that investment itself carries risks. And after a year, it turns out that the original cooperation was right, look at how much profit and benefit the only game has brought us. ”

"Now, in order to cooperate with Amagi Pictures and earn more than 20 million, you have personally terminated the contract of the only game? also preemptively registered their trademarks and sued them, offending them to death? ”

"Tell me, what to do now? Well? ”

In the conference room, the executives were silent.

They didn't gloat, they didn't have the mentality of looking at jokes, they didn't even go to see the COO.

Instead, I'm thinking about what to do next to save the cooperation.

This high-level meeting, on the surface, looks like a revival, but in fact, it is a gathering of people to come up with a way to continue working with the only game.

The people present are not stupid, and they can see the essence through the phenomenon.

If it's really just to blame Leo, then there is no need to let the high-ups come to the 42nd floor.

Just give him a separate phone call.

Therefore, seeing that the COO has been speechless, the CEO frowns and thinks deeply, and then breaks the deadlock.

"Mr. Liang, I am also responsible for this incident to this point, because it is the termination contract that I passed. Leo, did you send this contract to the only game? ”

Operation Officer Liu shook his head and said no.

This made the CEO's face lighten.

"That's OK, this means that the only game doesn't know about this yet, and we can ask the legal department to destroy this contract."

"Also, Mr. Liang, is it possible for us to acquire the only game?"

Mr. Liang frowned, didn't speak, just looked at Director Pian.

The latter understood, and then spoke.

"I don't know, maybe not. But I will ask Mr. Meng if they have this intention. ”

The CEO nodded.

"Okay, that's it. If we can't buy them, then I'll be honest with them for this matter, and I think it's up to me to say it. Once they accept the apology, they are included in the list of key partners. ”

"Regarding the preemptive registration of trademarks, I will talk about it together, and the most likely thing is to transfer the trademark to them, which can be regarded as the sincerity of our apology."

Speaking of which, the CEO looks to the CFO and the CTO.

"And then there's the financial support, they definitely need money to develop the game, and we can provide upfront funding to help. By the way, you can also provide technical support and complete the game development, what do you think? ”

The financial officer and the technical officer looked at each other, pondered for a while, and then spoke.

"The question of funds, as long as the company allows it, remember the bill of lading."

"We probably don't have enough people in our tech department, and they all have VR development, so I don't think we can help much, at most provide some production experience."

The CEO nodded, since all departments cooperated, then the rest could be resolved.

"In the end, it's a collaboration with Amagi Pictures. Leo, you're still responsible for this. The copyright of the only game can be ignored, and now we have to ease the relationship with them. So you're going to ask Amagi Pictures if you're willing to change the game? I think the games that the company is developing now should be able to meet their requirements. ”

"Also, we must be honest about the situation, and we must make sure that they understand and accept our difficulties. If you don't negotiate it, you know that there will be liquidated damages, and this is your personal reason. ”

"Mr. Liang, is this method feasible? If I could, then I'd go and apologize to the only game myself. ”

Mr. Liang glanced at him, then at Operation Officer Liu, and spoke.

"I have talked to Mr. Meng a few times about the only game, and I know what kind of person he is. Although he is young, he is not stupid, and he is obviously a person who eats soft rather than hard. When you apologize on behalf of Infinite Internet Entertainment, put down the shelf and say it well, do you know? ”

"Besides, Leo, you're still too busy with the position of COO, I'll find you a helper."

Operation Officer Liu's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Mr. Liang in disbelief.

And the latter, just walked out of the conference room without looking back...

...

...

"So, did the COO who made a mistake receive such a punishment?"

In the only game office, Meng Shu leaned back in his chair and spoke flatly.

A steady male voice immediately came from his phone.

[In addition to this, a fine was also imposed.] However, this is an internal matter of Infinite Internet Entertainment, and it is not convenient to say more. The reason why I tell you is mainly to prove the sincerity of our apology, and I hope you don't disclose it. ]

[This matter is indeed wrong with our unlimited online entertainment, and we will conduct systematic training for senior management.] We also deleted the v-blog on the Internet, and re-posted a v-blog to explain and eliminate the impact. ]

[This matter started because of unlimited online entertainment, and naturally it was also solved by us internally.] I'm really sorry, Mr. Meng. ]

[Also, do you accept and understand us about the several scenarios I mentioned earlier?] We really hope to continue to cooperate with you, and on the basis of the year-long cooperation, please forgive us for this mistake. ]

Hearing this, Meng Shu sighed.

After the notice broke out on the v-blog, he expected that Unlimited Internet Entertainment would come forward to solve the matter, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

I just didn't expect it to be solved that night, that is, now.

This speed is still quite fast.

Even the CEO himself called in person, and the sincerity was still there.

As for the punishment of COO, Meng Shu, who came over, knew what this meant.

The intention of an important position that was originally independent suddenly arranges a helper for you.

He also thought that Unlimited Internet Entertainment would not punish him because the other party was an executive, but he didn't expect that Mr. Liang was still a real person.

But it also shows that they attach great importance to this cooperation.

That being the case...

The idea of opening my own publishing department can be slowed down.

After all, the VR version of Dark Forest is almost finished. At this time, the issue of issuance will be a bit troublesome.

Although he now has the ability to issue it on his own, time does not allow it, and the recruitment of new employees also needs to be carefully screened.

So let the distribution work go to Infinite Internet Entertainment for the time being.

However, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, he has to set up the distribution department anyway, but he has to take his time.

When the time comes, you will be on the right track, and you will be able to publish completely independently and no longer rely on unlimited online entertainment.

"When are you going to hand over the trademarks?"

[I'm sorry that Director Pie will explain this to you in detail, but I'm sorry.] ]

"What kind of financial support and technical support are you talking about, is there a time limit?"

[No, as long as you have been an important partner of our Infinite Internet Entertainment, you will always be supportive.] ]

"Is there any difference between the key partners and the previous ones?"

[Please rest assured that Director Mercy will tell you in detail that the treatment is not just the way it used to be.] ]

Meng Shu nodded, okay, I didn't expect this misunderstanding to end when I was busy developing the game.

It's fast, and it's fast.

Fortunately, I didn't let myself be too distracted by chores, and the efficiency of unlimited online entertainment was okay.

The key thing is that he saw Mr. Liang's attitude, which made him very satisfied.

"Okay, I get it. Just hope that such a misunderstanding doesn't happen a second time, I don't have time to play this kind of game. ”

[I'm really sorry Mr. Meng, and thank you for accepting our apology.] ]

Meng Shu picked up the water cup and took a sip.

After a few more words, he hung up the phone.

Now, because of the daytime V blog notification incident, his private message exploded again on the original 99+.

And in one day, more than 10 strange numbers called.

Nine times out of ten, it was from various companies, and he didn't answer any of them anyway.

The problem is that the aftermath of this could be exploited by those who have the right intentions.

Even if Infinite NetEntertainment deleted the v-blog and re-issued a new notice to eliminate the impact. But what happened happened happened, and it's still being discussed online.

Conspiracy theories are even starting to erupt.

But because of this, the popularity of the only game has expanded by another point.

Everyone knows about it, and Infinite Net Entertainment apologizes to the only game.

However, in order to prevent the increase of negative news, Meng Shu decided to send a notice to shift the downwind.

As for what to post, he already has an idea.

Now, it's time to tell players what's next.
