At the end of August, the airport.

Lin Xuan, Xia Fan and Sun Yaohuo sent Lin Yuan away together, this time Sun Yaohuo did not wear a mask and sunglasses, he has changed from the psychology of not wanting to be recognized, to the psychology of desperately wanting to be recognized by passers-by.

"It's a star, right?"

"Seems to be true!"

"What do you call it?"

Suddenly there was a muttering sound in the distance.

Sun Yaohuo straightened his chest, smiled and turned his head to look at the crowd, but the next moment his smile froze, because he saw several people rushing towards Xia Fan, some took pictures with their mobile phones, and some took out their notebooks and asked for autographs......

"Xia Fan!"

"Xia Fan!"

The excitement is theirs.

At this time, not long after Lin Yuan boarded the plane and left, Sun Yaohuo was already in this huge airport, feeling a burst of loneliness in advance, but he was a little numb and squeezed to the periphery by the crowd.

“......”

Lin Yuan wasn't very used to the feeling of flying on a plane, it wasn't that he was afraid of heights, but as the plane got higher and higher, his eardrums were a little uncomfortable, so he could only sleep as much as possible, after all, the journey was seven hours.

The ticket was booked by my sister.

She bought business class directly.

When Lin Yuan found out, it was too late, so he could only feel sorry silently, after all, the price difference between business class and economy class was not small, and the difference between him didn't know how many egg yolks Lin Yuan could eat.

At this time, the villa is close to handover.

The renovation cost Lin Yuan also came out.

Just let my sister be responsible for the specific operation.

And after experiencing this part of consumption, Lin Yuan has no money left in his pocket, fortunately, September is approaching, or there will be a new manuscript fee and song sharing in a few days, so Lin Yuan is not worried......

Seven hours later.

Lin Yuan arrived at Qizhou.

The sky was still bright on Qi Zhou's side, Lin Yuan slept half the trip, so that his head was dizzy when he got off the plane, he went to the check-in office to get his luggage, and washed his face in the bathroom, he was a little sober.

Qizhou, Yicheng.

This is the city that Lin Yuan arrived, as one of the most developed cities in Qizhou, this place has a time difference of about four hours from Qinzhou Suzhou City, it shouldn't be difficult for Lin Yuan to adjust.

He took out his phone and made a call.

This is the number that Lao Zhou left for Lin Yuan, saying that he can contact him after arriving in Qizhou, and someone will pick him up and go to the branch at that time, including the residence, which will also be arranged in advance by the people on the branch side.

The phone is connected.

The phone was a girl's voice: "May I ask you are Teacher Xianyu, I am waiting for you at the waiting gate on the first floor, the car is parked in the parking lot below, you can see me when you come out, I am wearing a red coat......"

"I see you. ”

Lin Yuan looked at the girl in the distance.

When the other party saw Lin Yuan's face, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she put down her phone and walked over, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "I am Gu Dong, an employee of Xingmang Branch, may I ask if you are Teacher Xianyu?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

Gu Dong was a little surprised in his heart, the representative sent by the headquarters was so young, which was really unexpected by Gu Dong, but Gu Dong had investigated some information about Xianyu before, and knew that the other party was a very powerful composer in Qinzhou, so he didn't dare to slack off because Lin Yuan was young: "Then let's go to the company first?"

"Good. ”

There are few words about envy fish.

The personality is relatively cold.

Gu Dong made a preliminary judgment in his heart, and took the initiative to lift Lin Yuan's suitcase: "You should be tired after taking a plane, hand over the luggage to me, the parking stop is below, you can follow me." ”

Lin Yuan did not refuse.

The car drove out of the airport, and Gu Dong introduced the situation to Lin Yuan: "In the future, I will be your secretary in the branch, you can tell me if you need anything, and I have a personal question to ask, is your real name Xianyu?"

"My name is Lin Yuan. ”

Gu Dong nodded, Xianyu was indeed a similar stage name: "Then I will call you Representative Lin in the future, or if you like others to call Teacher Xianyu, I will communicate with the company." ”

"Whatever. ”

Lin Yuan was concise and to the point.

Gu Donggan laughed twice, didn't speak again, and drove intently, while Lin Yuan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his sister, except for some time differences, there were not too many obstacles to the contact between the two sides.

After sending the message.

Lin Yuan downloaded several popular listening software in Qizhou, two of which are also popular in Qinzhou, and it can be seen that there are still a lot of places that are consistent on both sides, which makes Lin Yuan feel a little less uprooted.

Put on your headphones.

Lin Yuan listened to the song.

He listened to Qizhou's more popular music, the style and Qinzhou do have some differences, the overall quality is indeed not as good as Qinzhou, this point Qinzhou does not live up to the reputation of the hometown of music, and it is indeed more popular Qi language here, as far as Lin Yuan randomly played Qizhou hit songs, more than 70% of the works are sung in Qi language, and the remaining 30% are sung in Mandarin.

I don't know how long I've listened to it.

The two arrived at the branch.

Lin Yuan and Gu Dong got out of the car together and came to the door of a company, the walls of this company were hung with the four big words "Xingmang Music", but in terms of scale, it could not be compared with the headquarters at all, and even the company's name was a little faded and rusty because it had not been maintained for a long time.

"The company has three floors. ”

Gu Dong introduced: "The recording studio and other equipment are on the first floor, the second floor is mostly the work area, and the third floor is mostly offices. ”

Lin Yuan nodded.

The location of this company is a little biased, and the advantage of bias is that the surrounding environment is not bad, it seems relatively empty, and the scale of the three-story company is definitely not comparable to the headquarters, but I heard that the development of the branch is not good, Lin Yuan can understand.

The company does not have an elevator.

The two of them could only climb the stairs.

Lin Yuan didn't feel disgusted, but followed Gu Dong to visit the company with great interest, and when he passed by the work area on the second floor halfway, many employees looked at Lin Yuan behind Gu Dong curiously.

"Gu Dong picked someone up?"

"That person is a representative of the headquarters?"

"How do you feel very young?"

"I guess it's because I'm young and easy to bully.,That's why I was sent to us.,Our broken company head office hasn't paid attention to it.,The manager has been begging for a few months.,The head office is willing to send someone over.,Now the manager obviously regards people as a life-saving straw.,But forget how can a straw save people who fall into the water......"

"I suspect this man is still a student. ”

"I'm now starting to worry that the company is really going to close down this year, the headquarters sent a young man over, obviously perfunctory on our side, it's not easy to find a job these years, are you all looking for a home?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a loyal minister of the company!"

"I said you're fat, you're still panting, you have a glorious record of five job hops before you came to our company, if it weren't for the fact that our company was really short of people, the personnel side wouldn't have hired you at all. ”

“......”

Lin Yuan naturally didn't know about the discussion in the company, he had already entered his office under the leadership of Gu Dong, the space of this office was not large, but the view was good, looking out from the window, it happened to be a big lawn, which made Lin Yuan think of his position in the headquarters.

There is a sign in front of the table.

Headquarters Representative: Xianyu

The black desk, with fresh plants in the corner of the room, was obviously taken care of in advance: "You can have a meeting later, introduce you and the company's employees, the manager wants to hold a welcome ceremony for you tonight, he attaches great importance to your arrival!"

Gu Dong smiled and spoke.

And behind Gu Dong's smile, it was actually full of bitterness: "Dad dreamed that the headquarters would send someone over, probably putting all the company's future hopes on this representative, but the situation of the branch can be easily solved by one person." ”

"No need. ”

Lin Yuan directly refused.

He doesn't like things like welcome ceremonies, and at the moment he is more concerned about the question: "How to arrange my residence, is it close to Qizhou Art Institute, and it is inconvenient to go to school in the future?"

Gu Dong: "......"

Her mood grew bitter.

This representative is still a student, and when the headquarters sent someone over, he had already made it clear on the phone, and Zhou Ruiming personally called the manager to repeatedly emphasise: "The main task of Xianyu coming to Qizhou is to study, and he went over as an exchange student of Qin Yi." ”

The implication is clear.

Don't give Envy too much work.

Perked up, Gu Dong smiled a little reluctantly: "Your residence is a little far away from the company, but it is very close to your school, this is a special order from the headquarters, we have helped you rent a house, and the rent cost will be borne by our branch." ”

"Thank you. ”

Lin Yuan was relieved.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, the specific content was not clear, Lin Yuan's office could only listen to a rough idea: "If your company can't do it, you can find the headquarters, the contract signed with you was signed in the name of the Xingmang headquarters, and you also promised us ......"

The sound gradually approached.

Lin Yuan heard a middle-aged man's apology: "We will prepare a few more songs to send to you, we will definitely satisfy you, didn't we cooperate very well before, we attach great importance to your company's list......"

The voice has not yet fallen.

Several men in suits passed by Lin Yuan's office, and when they saw the sign at the door of the office, they immediately stopped: "When did your Qinzhou headquarters send a representative over, and you didn't say a word to us." ”

The door was not closed.

The leader saw Lin Yuan standing in front of the desk at a glance, and then looked at the sign on Lin Yuan's desk, and immediately raised his voice: "Are you the representative sent by the Xingmang headquarters, please help us contact the headquarters, our list can't be done by your branch, let your headquarters do it, we signed the contract in black and white!"

"Our representative has just arrived in ......"

The voice that had just apologized sounded, and then a middle-aged and slightly chubby man appeared at the door, his expression was a little embarrassed, and after bowing to Lin Yuan, he sent the group of people out of the company, and the voice gradually faded away.

Lin Yuan asked, "Is he?"

Gu Dong said helplessly: "He is Gu Qiangyun, the general manager of the branch, and also my father, just now that group of people is the biggest customer of our branch, and they have cooperated several times before, but this cooperation, they have been dissatisfied with the works we have produced, so they will come to urge, this is not the first time this situation has happened." ”

"Oh. ”

Lin Yuan sat down.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't react, Gu Dong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart, and after thinking about it, she felt that she was taking it for granted, how could it be that the headquarters sent someone over and the predicament of the branch could be solved?

"That's right. ”

The chair under him should be new, and it feels very comfortable to sit on, in terms of the working environment alone, Lin Yuan likes it quite a bit, Lin Yuan got used to it a little before saying, "Please send me the address of my residence when you go back." ”

"Wait for the end of work. ”

Gu Dong said: "I'll send you over." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, saving a taxi fee.

At this time, Gu Qiangyun, the manager of the company, came back, he knocked on the door, and showed an apologetic smile: "I'm really embarrassed to encounter this situation when I just entered the company, I am Gu Qiangyun, who has experienced the branch, hello!"

He held out his hand.

Lin Yuan shook hands with the other party politely, and then asked with some curiosity: "I just arrived, so I don't know much about the situation yet, is there a lot of single branches like just now?"

Gu Dong: "......"

Gu Qiangyun: "......"

The atmosphere was embarrassing for a few seconds, and Gu Qiangyun coughed and said: "It's not too much, it's not too much, the music company here will more or less encounter the situation of list squeezing, it's a big deal, let's compensate some liquidated damages." ”

"How much is it?"

"It's just four or five orders. ”

Gu Qiangyun's sweat flowed, although the representative sent by the headquarters looked young, he seemed to be a little fierce, this is very dissatisfied with the work on our side, what should he do if he wants to sue the headquarters?

"Four or five single ......"

Lin Yuan didn't frown as Gu Qiangyun imagined, he only cared about the price of these Party A's orders: "Like the group of Party A just now, how much do they pay for customizing a song with the branch?"

"Eight hundred thousand. ”

Gu Qiangyun replied.

This time Lin Yuan's brows really furrowed, the price of this order was too little, when he received the order for "Fish and Dragon Dance" at the headquarters, the other party paid five million, why was the price of Qizhou's internal order so low?

O fire pit!

This is a fire pit!

Gu Qiangyun carefully observed Lin Yuan's face, and saw that he was still frowning, and his mood was a little heavy: "You may be used to staying at the headquarters, Xingmang is a top entertainment company in Qinzhou, but Xingmang Entertainment is actually a small music company in Qizhou, because the success rate is not a very good relationship, the highest price order we have received is one million, only a large entertainment company can receive that kind of big order worth millions......"

"Success rate?"

Lin Yuan's heart moved.

Gu Qiangyun was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Lin Yuan didn't know much about the situation here, he mentioned the spirit and introduced: "Because there are a large number of film and television dramas here in Qizhou every year, of course, there are some game projects, so the demand for their music is also very large, and the top productions are generally customized from Qinzhou, but some small projects can't afford the price of Qinzhou, so they will find some small music companies to cooperate with in Qinzhou." ”

Lin Yuan was thoughtful.

Gu Dong next to him added: "However, the strength of our small music companies is limited, so if Party A is not satisfied with the songs we come up with, our list will be yellow, and then the two sides will negotiate according to the contract signed at the beginning, sometimes it will be directly invalidated, and sometimes we will have to pay liquidated damages." ”

"Wait. ”

Lin Yuan found a loophole: "What if Party A defrauds liquidated damages on the grounds that the song is not up to standard, after all, the quality of a song is a very subjective thing." ”

"You can rest assured. ”

Gu Qiangyun smiled: " This kind of thing can't happen, because the vast majority of the list we are directly invalidated, only in the face of Qizhou has a better reputation of Party A, we will add the option of breach of contract in the contract, the amount is generally not too large, so that Party A will not risk the credibility crisis to pit us, and Qizhou also has a special audit association, both sides do not agree with the results will enter the relevant channels for judgment, the audit association is still very fair, if you are not convinced by the results of the audit association, you can release the song and accept the judgment of the public。 ”

Lin Yuan nodded.

Although there are still certain subjective factors, it is enough to do this level, a hundred people listen to a song, and ninety people feel that the song is not good, even if it is a subjective opinion, it is relatively objective, and the vast majority of companies do pay attention to reputation, if the company's reputation is bad, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the circle.

"Actually. ”

Gu Dong further dispelled Lin Yuan's doubts: "Basically, there has never been a situation of dissatisfaction with the results of the Music Review Association, the members of the Music Review Association are all respected seniors in the music world, and they all have professional establishments in Qizhou, this is their job." ”

"Understood. ”

Lin Yuan nodded: "So if we can increase the order rate, Party A's bid will be higher and higher in the future, and there may even be a situation where an order is several million?"

"Yes. ”

Gu Qiangyun wanted to remind Lin Yuan that there are few companies in the entire Qizhou that can receive millions of orders, and people are willing to spend millions to customize a song, why not go to Qinzhou, a hometown of music, but seeing that Lin Yuan's eyes were a little bit sharp, he closed his mouth obediently.

It's good to have dreams.

Lin Yuan's mood improved, it was not as bad as he imagined, and he said, "Then let's increase the company's order rate first, please send me the squeezed list." ”

"Huh?"

Gu Qiangyun and Gu Dong looked at each other, how did you say this so easily, first increase the company's order rate, do you know that a list will have to grind for several months?

"Isn't it convenient?"

Lin Yuan looked up at the two of them.

Gu Dong hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I'll take all the lists, these lists are all in charge of the composition department, but because they have not been completed, they have entered the public pool, everyone can take them, and you can also see if there is a suitable list for yourself." ”

"Hmm. ”

Lin Yuan is ready, although the company's order price is not high at the moment, according to Qi Zhou, as long as the order rate increases, Party A's bid will also increase in the future.

He was ready.
