Chapter 404
Liu Yuanyuan looked at the false smiles of the two bosses, feeling very uneasy and kept silent.
"Yuanyuan, I'm usually not kind to you." Yang Li's smile was a little stiff, but she still tried hard to maintain it, and said gently, "Today you will do me a favor and do this to you. It's just a piece of cake."
"But Sister Yue won't let me tell anyone her phone number." Liu Yuanyuan looked embarrassed.
"We are not others." Yang Li continued to say with a smile, "I am her senior sister, or I recruited her into the company."
"You forced her away again." Liu Yuanyuan added.
“…” Yang Li looked embarrassed, “It was just a misunderstanding, and we later resolved the misunderstanding.”
“Since the misunderstanding was resolved, why didn’t you contact her yourself? Liu Yuanyuan asked, pretending to be ignorant.
Yang Li was choked again. She also wanted to contact her, but her phone number was blocked by Mingyue. She changed several numbers but couldn’t get through. She also didn’t reply to messages sent on QQ, otherwise She won't beg her employees by being coy.
Seeing Liu Yuanyuan pretending to be stupid made her angry, but she couldn't get angry.
Yang Li forced a smile and said, "Yuanyuan, after much thought, it would be more appropriate for you to contact me. After all, you are good friends, so it would be better for you."
"Don't worry, I will too. I won’t let you do this for nothing.”
Liu Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up, “Can you give me a salary increase?”
The smile on Yang Li’s face disappeared, “Increase. "Salary?"
"Yes, I think the newly recruited employees have higher wages than our old employees. Can you give me a raise as well?" Liu Yuanyuan asked cautiously.
"This..." Yang Li hesitated, "I'll go find Manager Huang to discuss it."
After hearing this condition, Huang Zong's first reaction was to refuse, "No! You can't open this hole and give her a raise." Do you want other employees to get a raise? If their wages have increased, have you calculated how much our costs will increase? "
"In this case, you give her five hundred yuan and don't mention the salary increase. "
Yang Li hesitated, "What if another old employee asks for a salary increase?"
"Then fire him," Huang Zong said without hesitation. "Now. There are so many people in the company, so we just need to recruit a few more people.”
"You will have to pay one month's salary if you fire someone." Yang Li was a little reluctant.
"Why are you still caring about such a small amount of money? You would rather lose a month's salary than let them have inappropriate thoughts." Huang Zong said coldly, "The vision must be big, and the pattern must be big! "
"Okay." Yang Li nodded.
Then he took out a red envelope, stuffed five hundred yuan into it, turned around and found Liu Yuanyuan, and handed the red envelope to her, "Take this red envelope first."
"Huh?" Liu Yuanyuan hesitated, "Senior, this is..."
"Manager Huang is not here. We will talk about the salary increase later. Please help me find Mingyue first." Yang Li said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will just talk to Manager Huang when he comes back."
Liu Yuanyuan nodded, "Then let me send a text message to Sister Yue."
......
"I didn't plagiarize!" Mingyue said categorically, "This matter has nothing to do with me."
Yang Li quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I'm not doubting you, it's just that this matter is too strange. I told you what happened just now, don’t you think the timing is too coincidental.”
"I thought you had already registered?" Mingyue retorted directly, "I haven't thought about copyright matters until now. I am busy looking for a job."
Huang Zong quickly interjected , "We really didn't doubt you. We came to you today just to find out more about this matter. After all, you are the original author. You should have evidence to prove that you created the Demon King Squirrel, right?"
"Yes. "The bright moon will He put his laptop on the table and said as he turned it on, "I created on this computer. The original file records are from the end of last year."
Huang Zong was a little excited. "Yes, yes, we need this. This is very important evidence."
While talking, Huang Zong wanted to reach out to touch the laptop, but unexpectedly, a hand stretched out from beside him and closed the laptop again. On.
Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "You two can just look at it, why are you trying to grab it?"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Huang Zong quickly explained, "I just want Mingyue to help us provide it. Evidence."
"Then why should my girlfriend provide you with evidence?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "I have never heard of such a weird thing in the world."
"My girlfriend's work was preempted, and the company that fired her wanted her to provide evidence and bring the preempted work back to you."
"I just want to ask why? Aren’t you bullying honest people?”
"Uh, sir, you can't say that." Yang Li quickly smoothed things over, "We won't let Mingyue's help go in vain. If we can get the copyright back, we will pay a certain fee."
"How much does it cost?" ?" Qin Shaoyan asked directly.
Yang Li held out a finger hesitantly, glanced at Huang Zong, and then turned into five fingers, "Fifty thousand yuan."
"Haha." Qin Shaoyan sneered. He picked up his laptop and stood up to leave.
“One hundred thousand yuan!” Huang Zong shouted quickly, “We have something to discuss.”
"Five hundred thousand." Qin Shaoyan said expressionlessly.
"Impossible, this copyright is not worth the price." Huang Zong refused, "We would rather give up this cartoon image and develop another one."
"Hurry up and give it to me. It's a fixed price." Qin Shaoyan said with a sneer, "We can't get this thing back anyway, so we won't lose anything if we give it up."
" Huang Zong raised two fingers. , "This is the lowest price."
"Two hundred thousand is fine." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment, "But we also need the right to sign."
"Deal." Huang Zong nodded in agreement.
The two parties quickly initialed an agreement. Mingyue will appear in court to testify at the appropriate time. If the copyright can be recovered, Suoyin Company will guarantee the signature rights for the next month and pay 200,000 yuan.
Qin Shaoyan watched them sign and suddenly smiled, "Actually, it doesn't make much sense for you to file this lawsuit. The other party is obviously trying to trick you."
Huang Zong was startled and looked at it. Looking at Qin Shaoyan, he asked hesitantly: "What do you mean by this?"
"You just received a big order, and then someone grabbed the copyright before you even started work." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "But as soon as you started production, someone came to negotiate terms. So many things were put together. It can’t be explained by coincidence at all.”
"Of course we know this." Huang Zong frowned, "We suspect that there is an insider in the company, but we can't find anything."
"Of course you can't find it out in your own company." Qin Shaoyan said lightly. said, "Have you never doubted Party A's company?"
"Party A's company?!" Huang Zong was stunned.
"Obviously, how can the people in your company be sure that Party A will definitely choose the cartoon character of the Demon King Squirrel? What if he chooses something else?" Qin Shaoyan said seductively, "This must be the case. He took action after knowing Party A’s movements in advance.”
“Then the person who knows Party A’s movements must be someone within Party A’s team.”
Huang Zong was astonished at this moment and figured it out in an instant.
Yes, I thought about it for a long time and couldn’t figure it out. I didn’t expect that the problem was Party A’s side. "Actually, this is a very common thing." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "In fact, it is a disguised method of asking for bribes, with the purpose of avoiding internal supervision of large companies."
"Asking for a bribe?" Huang Zong suddenly realized.
He never thought about it before. After all, Party A is a big company. He never thought that such a foreign-owned private company would have such a thing.
"This can be considered a trick. They usually set up a company alone or invest in a company, and then hand over the company's projects to companies with related interests to operate." Qin Shaoyan explained to Huang Zong, Yang Li and others, "Such a company's The money flowed into their private pockets."
"The decision-making power of your project may not be in their hands, so they can only use this method to blackmail."
"Oh, Listening to you is better than studying for ten years! If Mr. Qin hadn't solved the problem, I would still be in the dark." Huang Zong said with admiration, "Where did Mr. Qin get his job?"
" Easy to talk about." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I work at the Olympic Publicity Network." "Huh?" Huang Zong was stunned, why had he never heard of this website? He immediately changed his smile. , said a few compliments to Qin Shaoyan and left.
Mingyue was holding back her laughter beside her, and she didn't laugh until Huang Zong and Yang Li walked away.
"You are such a bad person. I saw your serious explanation just now. If I didn't know what was going on, I would have believed your lies." Mingyue was overjoyed, "Look, you fooled them. Stunned."
"I'm not fooling them." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "I told the truth."
"Which sentence?" Mingyue asked curiously. road.
"Every sentence is true." Qin Shaoyan replied.
"Exactly." Mingyue rolled her eyes, "You just said that you were from the Olympic Publicity Network."
"I didn't tell lies. I am indeed from the Olympic Publicity Network." Qin Shaoyan explained. He said, "This is the first website I created. The campus network started from this website."
"Huh?" Mingyue was a little stunned.
……
Suoyin Company Conference Room.
Xia Lian looked at the evidence presented by the other party with a disdainful expression, and pushed it away, "These evidences have no effect."
"What do you mean it has no effect!" Huang Zong said angrily, "This The Demon King Squirrel belongs to us."
"But the copyright belongs to us," Xia Lian said calmly.
Huang Zong was immediately discouraged, but he still said stubbornly: "We have evidence, and we can file a lawsuit to get it back."
"You have no chance of winning the case." Xia Lian's expression remained the same. Insipid, "Besides, what will happen if you win? You can't afford to delay."
Huang Zong was furious, "We can give up this cartoon image and develop something else, and you won't get a penny."
"How about that?" Xia Lian asked, "We have no losses anyway. "
"We are just betting that you have no way out."
"..." Huang Zong felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer, and he was completely stunned.
The other party was right, he really had no way out.
Huang Zong growled, "What do you want?"
Xia Lian smiled slightly and said softly: "Shares."
"Shares?!"
"Yes, shares of Suoyin Company." Xia Lian answered in the affirmative.
Huang Zong suddenly calmed down at this time. The other party came for his company's shares, which meant that the man named Qin was right.
The other party must be inseparable from Party A. This is Chi Guoguo's request for bribes!
Huang Zong said bitterly: "Don't think that I don't know what you want to do. I know your details. You are blackmailing and asking for bribes!"
"No. Xia Lian corrected, "Our boss said this It’s called win-win cooperation.”
Huang Zong laughed angrily, “I don’t see the win-win situation?” I'm worried about the buyer," Xia Lian said with a smile.
Huang Zong was startled, and then realized what the other party meant.
This means that as long as you give the other party shares, YouTube contracts will continue to come in the future.
It is not impossible if this is the case.
The matter has come to this, and the only difference between the two parties now is how much shares to give rather than whether to give them or not.
"How much do you want?" Huang Zong asked hesitantly.
"51%" Xia Lian replied.
"No, absolutely not. I would rather not do it than hand over the company to you." Huang Zong stood up and refused.
“It can be discussed.” Xia Lian laughed.
The two sides got into a fierce tug of war, and in the end Xia Lian got 33.33% of the shares.
Huang Zong's face was gloomy. He slumped in his chair and sighed. He was devastated by losing one-third of his shares for nothing.
Xia Lian took out the share transfer agreement and pushed it in front of the other party, "Boss Huang wants to be more enlightened. Although you have transferred the shares, you will earn more in the future. In business, you must understand the principle of steady flow."
Huang Zong You signed the agreement feebly. He understood the reason, but he still couldn't bear it when the matter came to pass.
The other party quickly left with the agreement, but Xia Lian did not write a bad check.
Huang Zong immediately knew what it meant that Suoyin Company no longer had to worry about contracts, because Edward soon came to see him again.
"Huang, the company has decided to develop another two-dimensional cartoon."
"Ah?!" Huang Zong was stunned, "Two-dimensional cartoons?"
"Yes, the company has a huge appetite, so much that you can't imagine." Edward said with a smile, "Not only do we need 3D animation is also needed for 2D animation.”
“But...” Huang Zong was about to cry, “We have only done 3D animation. Animation."
"It doesn't matter, you can recruit new employees." Edward said nonchalantly, "If it doesn't work, we can outsource it."
"The company needs 10,000 minutes of 2D. Cartoons, within 5 to 10 minutes, you can do whatever you want.”
"But the quality must be high!"
Huang Zong had no choice but to agree. At this time, he no longer considered whether the company could complete the task
The worst case scenario was outsourcing. Let’s sign the contract first!
