214. Give you one hundred million, cooperation conditions!(1/3)
Today is the first time that Zhang Yufeng has held a group company meeting.
There are not many senior executives left in the company now. Most of the supervisors of several department are just taking office, two of which were recruited by Zhang Yufeng himself.
When Zhang Yufeng walked in, everyone quickly sat upright and kept quiet and serious.
Zhang Yufeng sat in the main seat, glanced at it, and said loudly: "Today is the first time I have started discussing work matters with you. Now our group is facing many serious problems. Everyone, let me share your thoughts and opinions."
Huang Qing, a middle-aged man sitting on the left of Zhang Yufeng, was recruited by Zhang Yufeng himself. He was a department manager of the company behind Weibo. He did a great job and was poached by him to Shenteng Entertainment. He also served as the manager of the publicity and public relations and personnel departments. He was in power.
Huang Qing first raised his hand, saw everyone looking at him, and said, "Mr. Zhang, everyone, I think our top priority is to rectify the internal and arrange personnel. Let the major subsidiaries of the group enter regular operation. Secondly, it is to solve the hidden dangers of external public opinion. Personnel arrangements are already underway."
"Then what we have to do now is to solve external troubles. Now the impression of our group company is that we are all cancerous and bullying people maliciously! Especially the Voice program, which is called a stumbling block that hinders the development of China's music by many people. The Voice program next episode has stagnated completely and cannot be launched, and has been excluded and boycotted by almost the entire independent musician, as well as the boycott of several major musicians."
"If we don't solve these problems, the quality of our next Voice program may drop by at least two levels. At that time, the selected champions will lose face in the entire Chinatown when they participate in international competitions."
"As far as I know, to solve the entire problem, the key figure is Wang Xiao, the current number one internet celebrity anchor, who is the person who sued us in the Rongcheng Court."
The atmosphere in the office calmed down.
The elderly people in several companies naturally knew about this. Several previous management teams could be said to have indirectly resigned, so they didn't dare to say anything more.
Moreover, Zhang Yufeng publicly apologized to Wang Xiao in the name of the group company yesterday, which was his own decision and had not discussed it with others.
Zhang Yufeng knocked on the table and said lightly: "I know Wang Xiao, have met, and have worked with him. I personally negotiated his exclusive contract with Shenteng Music. I had already talked with his agent Zhu Ziqi yesterday. Everyone should know that I apologized to Wang Xiao on the official Weibo?"
Huang Qing nodded and praised: "General Zhang is decisive and courageous."
The general manager of a large group company publicly apologized to an internet celebrity anchor in the name of the company, which is also the first time.
Not to mention being an internet celebrity anchor, even many celebrities have never received such treatment.
Even if many companies lose the case, they will not apologize publicly even if they lose money. At worst, they will continue to sue, but they will not apologize publicly anyway!
Zhang Yufeng's public apology has caused a turbulence in the industry.
The melon-eating crowd was watching the show, and their peers were watching the show.
Zhang Yufeng said seriously: "We can't afford to delay. According to what I know, Oriental TV's most powerful voice talent show in China is already in contact with many high-quality independent musicians, and at the same time, it is also in contact with several major conservatories, hoping to reach cooperation with them."
Everyone in the office was shocked.
They obviously didn't know the news.
The Strongest Voice in China is a TV talent show launched by Oriental TV three years ago. It is also a talent show that follows the trend of music. It selects the so-called Strongest Voice, and its ratings are pretty good among second-tier variety shows and can make profits, so it has been produced for three consecutive years.
This time, the strongest voice program team seized the turbulent opportunity of the good voice and made a quick attack, trying to intercept the source of the good voice and improve their quality and grade, and then they will naturally have ratings!
A middle-aged man said, "Mr. Zhang, the strongest voice is not qualified enough, right? Do they have international competitions?"
Huang Qing: "They have the thickest contract."
The middle-aged man said disdainfully: "Without the reputation of ours, what's the use of just giving a contract?"
Huang Qing: "Their players make no less money than ours, and they don't have to be slaves. Their players are not as popular as ours, but their income is similar. Doesn't this tell the problem?"
The problem is that there are no middlemen to make a difference!
The middle-aged man suddenly fell silent.
Zhang Yufeng: "Okay! I'm already discussing a settlement with Wang Xiao, and I've made a public apology and acknowledgement of the facts. The rest is the amount of compensation."
"They need a total of 100 million yuan in contract liquidated damages and reputational compensation. Let's discuss now whether we can give this money, and whether we should give it!"
Everyone in the office stared wide!
A compensation of 100 million?
Huang Qing was slightly shocked, obviously not aware of this.
Moreover, this number is too large!
Immediately a middle-aged woman said, "Mr. Zhang, it is impossible to have 10 million yuan. We can compensate at most 10 million yuan. He is just an internet celebrity anchor, why should he compensate so much?"
Someone immediately agreed: "That's right, Mr. Zhang, even a first-tier superstar, it is impossible for us to get so much compensation. At worst, we can just go to a lawsuit. We will pay as much as the court sentences."
"Mr. Zhang, how did they calculate the compensation of 100 million yuan? Why?"
"Mr. Zhang, you can't start this, otherwise anyone who sees us in Shenteng Entertainment Group will think that we are rich and can bully you, and they all want to come up and take a bite!"
The office was filled with excitement.
Zhang Yufeng glanced at the people named Huan, who were basically old men from the past, and said softly: "Then let me tell me. Why did you suppress and slander Wang Xiao for no reason? Wang Xiao is our own anchor, and you actually suppress your own anchor and lock your own anchor's data?"
"I forced Wang Xiao away, what is the current situation of the Divine Soldier?"
"Hu Xiaocheng, Ma Hua and others took advantage of the tricks and wanted to hack Wang Xiao's music copyright. They just slandered and suppressed him. Why is this? Do you know how valuable Wang Xiao's music copyright is? The copyright value of each song is not less than 100 million!"
The office was quiet again.
The few people stopped talking and looked bad.
The Divine Weapon is now facing the brink of bankruptcy and is unable to make ends meet. If it weren’t for the group company’s spending money, they would have been unable to pay their wages!
However, everyone was also shocked that Wang Xiao’s music copyright was so valuable.
They would not doubt Zhang Yufeng's words, because Zhang Yufeng said just now that it was an exclusive copyright contract he personally negotiated with Wang Xiao, so he naturally had a clear understanding of its value.
Zhang Yufeng: "My philosophy is to be people-oriented and win-win cooperation. Whether it is the anchors under our company or the musicians we work with, they are collaborators, not slaves, and can be suppressed by us. So, I announce a few things today."
"First, comprehensively modify the contestants' contracts on the Voice. We must take fairness and respect as the principle, so that the contestants can enjoy the greatest freedom of performance, copyright freedom, and respect."
"Second, our two live broadcast platforms merged into one."
"Third, reach a settlement agreement with Wang Xiao as soon as possible."
"Fourth, go to contact several major music academies and strive to reach cooperation again as soon as possible. The next issue of Good Voice production must be formalized as soon as possible."
Everyone below recorded it quickly.
Huang Qing whispered: "Mr. Zhang, what should I do if Wang Xiao's compensation?"
Zhang Yufeng: "I will be responsible for this matter."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Such a huge compensation and the other party is so strong that neither of them is willing to take over this hot potato. If anything happens, they will definitely take the blame.
After talking about some details, Zhang Yufeng announced the end of the meeting and took Huang Qing back to his office.
Zhang Yufeng personally poured Huang Qing a cup of tea and said helplessly: "Old Huang, you said, if we pay a huge price to reconcile with Wang Xiao, how much profit can we bring if we cooperate with him in the future?"
Huang Qing took the teacup with both hands and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhang, you have said everything. You are familiar with Wang Xiao and have met you. You should understand better than me. Personally, I like his music very much. His music surprised me. He is a musician who is serious about music. But I didn't expect that he is still a poet. I also like the song "Oak Tree" he posted yesterday."
"If we can cooperate with him on the Voice in the future, how much profit we can bring depends on his popularity, and he is an alternative. He does not hype or sell his face, and it depends entirely on his own works to speak, so in the final analysis, it depends on whether he can continue to release good works in the future!"
"If he cannot continue to release good works in the future, he will certainly be able to make a living by relying on the good works he has accumulated now, but it will not be possible to maintain his current popularity, and it will be even more impossible to continue to increase."
Zhang Yufeng thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Okay, go and do your business."
Huang Qing got up and left to go to work hard. He is now responsible for two major aspects: publicity and personnel, and he is the busiest person.
After Zhang Yufeng asked Huang Qing to leave, he took out the phone and called out, and quickly answered: "Senior brother, it's me."
A voice came from the phone: "I know, I just finished the meeting. I saw your public apology yesterday, and I was very courageous. Everyone here is looking at your achievements."
Zhang Yufeng rubbed his eyebrows: "Senior brother, Wang Xiao asked for 100 million compensation, and he would not let go without regressing. If he could not reach an agreement, he would really sue. The new episode of the Voice of China may also stagnate. Will we give this money?"
He was silent for a few seconds on the phone, and then said, "You make your own decision. Such a large amount of money will have a great impact. Even if you give it, because you have just taken office, the headquarters may not remove you because of this, and will continue to give you a chance. However, if you spend such a large amount of money and have no results in the future, you should know the result."
Of course Zhang Yufeng knew the result!
He will be responsible for spending such a large amount of money, no matter what the reason is.
If he doesn't achieve results within one or two years, he will leave and he will completely stay in the entire Shenteng Group system. Shenteng Music cannot go back, so he can only leave Shenteng Group completely!
But!
This mess!
How to achieve results within one or two years?
It would be nice to be able to stabilize.
If you want to achieve outstanding results, you will have great opportunities!
Wang Xiao’s shadow appeared in Zhang Yufeng’s mind, and his mind gradually became firmer: “Senior brother, I decided to take out this money.”
The voice on the phone was silent for two seconds again, and then said, "Just make a decision, I can help you withstand the pressure for the time being."
Zhang Yufeng was moved and said, "Thank you for your support, senior brother."
The two are two different classes in the same school. They have only met several times, but the other party supports him as the general manager of a group company. At the same time, he also gives him such great support. Zhang Yufeng feels that even his own brothers cannot do this.
If he fails this time, his senior brother who has entered the senior management of the Shenzhen Teng Group headquarters will be affected!
So, he must succeed.
"I believe in your ability. You are the kind of person I have seen very few. You have abilities, dreams, and a more sincere belief! I have become a pure businessman, Yufeng, I hope you can succeed."
The senior brother's voice on the phone was very sincere.
Zhang Yufeng smiled: "I will definitely succeed."
Put down the phone!
