Yuefu Group Headquarters.
Most of the senior leaders gathered around the conference table, and the atmosphere was tense.
Ever since the conflict with Kuiguang Group began, high-level meetings that used to be rare have now occurred once a month.
Even this time, a senior director with great authority and power attended the high-level meeting.
It is enough to see that the board of directors is extremely dissatisfied with Yuefu Group’s recent performance.
Because of the Kuiguang Group's affairs, Yuefu Group has carried out at least two large-scale personnel changes, the second one even involved some senior managers.
Many senior leaders who once had the final say in Yuefu Group have all resigned.
"The Worst Film Award, the Worst Actor Award... Is Kuiguang Group slapping you? It's slapping me in the face!" The director angrily slammed the table with the documents in his hand, "They even put the trophy online for sale. Did you know about this?!"
The trophies awarded to them were put up for sale on the second-hand market...
The leaders present at the meeting looked at each other and saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.
Ever since the failure of the last negotiation, the top executives of Yuefu Group had a headache whenever they saw the word "Kuaiguang". Just like a top student who failed the exam and didn't want to look at the score of the test paper, they subconsciously ignored all kinds of information about Kuiguang Group.
Someone immediately expressed his indignation: "They are going too far!"
"Too much?" The big director slammed the table again and sneered, "If you hadn't made bad movies in a row, how could they do this?"
How can a company succeed in all projects? If that's not a freak, what is it? It's normal to fail in one or two projects, or even fail in succession... Let alone domestic film production, even Hollywood giants like Marvel and DC often make flops and lose a lot of money.
If you make a bad movie, you will be criticized harshly and people will look for its flaws under a magnifying glass. No one can stand it.
But as a company manager, it is absolutely impossible for us to say this to the board of directors.
Saying it means incompetence.
A leader smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xue... As long as there is any negative news about Kuiguang Group, we will hype it up immediately."
"Negative news?! I don't care about negative news or not. As long as your performance and revenue go up, it doesn't matter how much negative news there is." Director Xue's hands were shaking with anger. "Look for yourself, our reputation is gone, and our revenue has plummeted! What I want is profit, understand? As long as the profit goes up, I can pretend not to see anything else!"
"Now that you can't produce results, eliminate the negative impact for me!"
"If you keep doing this, I'd rather contact Yang Ruoqian and find a way to buy shares in Kuiguang Group and invest in them..."
After saying that, Director Xue snorted coldly and left the meeting room.
While Director Xue was cursing, several leaders had already seen the trophy on pre-sale on a second-hand platform.
Each trophy is priced at 250 yuan, the products have been viewed more than a million times, and hundreds of thousands of people have clicked the "want" button.
The CEO of Yuefu Group wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Hurry up and contact the technical department and ask them to create a rush-buying software. We must buy these two trophies! We can't let them fall into the hands of ordinary people."
The chairman of Yuefu Group has long since stepped down as CEO and does not participate much in the company's internal management.
But the current CEO is undoubtedly the chairman’s confidant and a community of interests.
"Okay... I'll notify the technical department right away and ask them to do it as soon as possible." The leader in charge of the technical department quickly stood up, accepted the task, and fled out of the meeting room.
It is so unfair that those who purely make products and software have to be criticized because of these crappy awards and crappy movies!
Moreover, there are only three days left before the trophy goes on sale. To create such a snap-up app within three days, we must seize every moment.
Not to mention overtime.
"The public relations department has recently focused all its efforts on the Kuiguang Group... Aren't they going to release the movie 'The Richest Man in Jinhai City' recently? We'll be watching it negatively when it's released. Also, we need to find a way to improve our company's disadvantage in terms of public opinion."
The head of the PR department nodded with a wry smile: "No problem... but the prerequisite is that there must be black spots. As you know, our company does not have a social media with a lot of traffic, and the PR cost will be very high."
And most importantly, no matter how much money they spend on public relations, they cannot get the Leopard platform, which has the right to rate movies, to do so.
If one wants to discredit Kuiguang Group to the greatest extent possible, one can only pray that the movie "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" itself fails.
"You guys should pay attention to the cost issue." The CEO of Yuefu Group waved his hand. "If there is really no way to discredit them, forget it. Wait until next time. I don't believe they can always make a movie with a great reputation."
The PR leader nodded: "Okay."
After arranging the basic work, the CEO sat back in the top seat and pinched his forehead.
Kuiguang Group is not willing to take any soft or hard tactics, it's really...
At the last meeting, some people wondered why the Kuiguang Group was targeting the Yuefu Group and how the conflict between them escalated.
After more than a month of investigation, a simple summary report has been submitted.
At the beginning, when the Kuiguang Group was just established, Ruan Min'er was expelled from the department in charge of live broadcasting in their Yuefu. As a result, she turned around and shined in the Kuiguang Group, allowing the YTG Club to have unparalleled influence and paying fan groups to this day.
The first grudge was created in this way.
The second time was when Lin Cao, who was the agent manager at the time, went to Kuiguang Group to poach people, but he dug up a big bomb and was eventually fired. However, after jumping to Kuiguang Group, he made great contributions to Yang Ruoqian. Now he has taken over Shao Yiqi and become the head of the entire live broadcast project of Kuiguang Group.
Now his status within the Kuiguang Group is only slightly inferior to that of other veteran figures. He is in a high position and has great power. After Lin Cao, who hates the Yuefu Group to the core, took over the entire live broadcast department of the Kuiguang Group, he has never stopped suppressing the Yuefu Group.
A series of operations such as grabbing market share, public relations, spending money to poach anchors, etc., have dealt a heavy blow to Yuefu Group's live broadcast business.
With Lin Cao's understanding of Yuefu Group, he can easily use various highly targeted means. The current large-scale live broadcast business of Kuiguang Group is also due to Lin Cao's crazy efforts to grab meat from Yuefu Group.
This can be considered the second time they have had a grudge.
The leader who fired Lin Cao at that time was called Zheng Weineng... He had been kicked out in the last large-scale personnel reshuffle within the group.
The speed at which Yuefu Group's live broadcast segment's performance declined is no different from a free fall.
As the top leader, Zheng Weinan was defeated miserably in the confrontation with his former subordinate Lin Cao, so it was reasonable for him to leave.
The third time, the CEO heard from various channels that Shang Qianyu once wanted to sign a contract with Yuefu Group, but was forced to leave his hometown and join Kuiguang Group under the coercion and inducement of a certain director.
Now, as a first-line actress, the face of Kuiguang Group and also a member of the organizing committee, Shang Qianyu must have considerable influence within Kuiguang Group.
One can imagine what her attitude towards Yuefu Group is.
The fourth time was when Yuefu Group paid someone to spread rumors about Kuiguang Group. As a result, the news leaked out from somewhere, and the legal department of Kuiguang Group got the key evidence. Not only did they lose the case, they also lost face...
Up to now, the internal investigation of Yuefu Group has not yielded any results and the traitor has not been found.
After three or four feuds, the Kuiguang Group has completely established its foothold in the entertainment industry, so the Yue family wanted to reconcile the two parties and share the cake together, but the Kuiguang Group did not appreciate it at all... In the end, this is the situation we have now.
"Huh..." The CEO of Yuefu Group recalled these terrible things and felt even more annoyed. "What is this? I don't know anything about such a small matter, but it turned into an irreconcilable contradiction."
What level of person was Ruan Min'er at that time? What level of employee was Lin Cao? What level of star was Shang Qianyu?
He doesn't even recognize these people's names when they are put on the table.
As a result, now that the matter has become a big deal, he, the CEO, has to deal with it...
Complaining as he was, he muttered to himself for a few words, then turned his gaze to another leader and asked, "I'm wondering if we can forge some trophies ourselves and put them on the market? As long as there are enough identical trophies, the impact of this incident can be infinitely diluted."
To downplay something does not necessarily mean to suppress it, it can also mean to dilute it.
The Worst Award trophy is not a high-value product and is very easy to forge. As long as there are more counterfeits on the market, the popularity of the genuine product will naturally decline, and no one will pay attention to it.
In this way, the ultimate goal of reducing heat can be achieved to a certain extent.
"President...I suggest you not to do this." A leader immediately shook his head upon hearing this.
The CEO asked, “Why?”
"Although this trophy is very rough and made of poor materials, I just had someone check and found that this trophy has applied for a design patent." The leader explained, "If we try to make a high-quality imitation, it is likely to infringe on the rights of the copyright, and then we will have to go to court again."
"You know, I think we need to seriously consider the combat effectiveness of the legal department of Kuiguang Group. Especially since we are not in the right in this matter."
"If we try to avoid the design covered by the patent, the counterfeit trophy won't be too similar and won't be able to play the role you mentioned."
Ever since it adopted the name of "Jinhai Pizza Hut", the legal department of Kuiguang Group has never dealt with any major disputes. Now I heard that they have begun to go crazy.
It would be unwise to deliver it to your door now.
The CEO's mouth twitched. Kuiguang Group was really idle and bored. They actually applied for a design patent for a trophy that cost no more than 200 yuan to make...
"Forget it! Let the technical department handle it." The CEO looked annoyed. "Hurry up and handle it... The most important thing is that we must make a good movie next time! As long as there is money to be made, any contradictions and mistakes can be covered up."
On the other hand, as long as you can't make money, even breathing is wrong.
…
At the same time, unlike the Yuefu Group which was in turmoil, the Kuiguang Group was calm.
The filming of "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" has been completed, and the anti-fraud promotional video will be produced next quarter. The pace of the entire company has slowed down a lot.
The great success of the Academy Awards has raised the influence of Kuiguang Group in the entertainment industry to more than one level, and made the Kuiguang Group's name more and more famous.
Now the work enthusiasm of the company's employees is unprecedentedly high.
Except for a certain president who plays games in the office.
"Boss Yang." Qi Mu knocked on the door of Yang Ruoqian's office and walked in on high heels. "I just received a call. Xue Jin, the director of Yuefu Group, wants to contact you to discuss investment matters with you."
Yang Ruoqian turned off the game expressionlessly and switched to his work desktop at the speed of light. He said emotionlessly, "The director of Yuefu Group? Don't pay attention to him."
"What this director wants to tell you has nothing to do with Yuefu Group." The secretary held the document to her chest and smiled, "According to what he said, he wants to invest in Kuiguang Group and become a director of Kuiguang Group."
Kuiguang Group refuses any investment...
Not to mention adding a few more directors.
With a few more outsiders on the board, how would he make those outrageous decisions in the future? In order to cooperate with this system, Yang Ruoqian had to make the final decision in Kuiguang Group.
"Reject him, and reject any future requests for shares and investments." Yang Ruoqian warned, "Qi Mu, Kuiguang Group is not short of funds at all and does not need financing. Our first priority now is to find entertainment projects that can be invested in and spend the money."
Now the first thing Mr. Yang does when he opens his eyes every day is to worry about how to spend the money he has. And yet there are still people who are so blind as to give him money?
No eyesight at all.
Qi Mu also expected Yang Ruoqian to make this decision, and nodded gently: "I understand. There is one more thing. I just met Shang Qianyu at the door. She seemed to want to discuss something with you. Do you have time to see her?"
When the two entered the room, Shang Qianyu politely followed the first-come-first-served rule and let Qi Mu enter the office first.
"Shang Qianyu..." Yang Ruoqian felt a headache when he heard the child's name, "Let her in."
It's strange, because usually this kid contacts directly by phone or WeChat, and rarely goes through the formal process so seriously.
Did something happen? Soon, Qi Mu left and Shang Qianyu walked in from outside with a document in his hand.
Yang Ruoqian was very familiar with this silly kid, so he didn't put on airs and asked directly, "What's the matter?"
"Hey, boss, contract, contract!" Shang Qianyu put the contract on the table a little embarrassedly, "Do you still remember the contract we signed before?"
contract……
Yang Ruoqian was excited - could it be that this silly kid finally got it and was ready to ask for a higher profit share and more company resources? That's great! As long as the profit share ratio changes, Kuiguang Group will make a lot less money every month!
This kid has a future! Mr. Yang's expectations were high: "What's wrong with the contract? If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't be shy or polite!"
Shang Qianyu rubbed his hands together and said expectantly, "I think this three-year contract is too short. I've already made it, hehe...why don't you consider extending it for a few more years!"
More, how many more years?
Mr. Yang, who was originally expecting a sky-high price, was stunned.
Three years is too much for this bully clause, and they still want to renew the contract? !
Looking at the system's "passive operation" warning, Mr. Yang finally said with despair: "...Continue!" (End of this chapter)
