The negotiation team under Sheng Quan arrived at the research institute. As soon as they arrived at the door, they were faced with soldiers guarding the door with serious expressions.
them:"……"
Sometimes I really forget that the company I work for is an entertainment company.
Generally speaking, when Chinese people see fully armed military police, their first reaction is "so handsome" and "so safe", but when they think that they are here to negotiate...
They represent Xing Mang, Director Sheng.
.
No matter who the "opponent" they need to talk to is, they must be professional. From the time they received the call until now, they have been rushing to organize relevant information. Even just now in the car, they were reading and reciting at the same time, and they were quite confident.
These professionals couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to see what was happening, but at the same time they put on an expression that said, "We are not surprised at all by this scene. We are extremely calm."
Although I was thinking: Is that a real gun? What kind of instrument is this? It looks so cautious.
The leader of the negotiation team only smiled faintly and slowly took out his ID and handed it over: "This is our ID."
——They even checked IDs, fingerprints, and compared faces. For some reason I felt excited as if I was participating in a big event.
After being checked and let in, the group of people carried their briefcases and followed the military comrade who led the way on the wide road. They looked around and saw a sentry every ten steps. It was really a posture of "not even a mosquito can fly in". They were secretly excited, and a subtle sense of pride rose in their hearts.
How could they not feel proud that the company they work for is able to negotiate directly with the government?
Although I work for an entertainment company, it's a bit strange to negotiate compensation benefits with the government based on a research result, but the bonus has been tripled.
Sheng Quan saw from afar that the members of his negotiation team were full of energy, with steady expressions and firm steps, and they looked very confident.
She was worried that the team, which had always been engaged in business negotiations, would not be able to handle it.
President Sheng nodded in appreciation in his heart: He is indeed an outstanding talent that I carefully selected and cultivated.
Reliable!
With the help of a professional negotiation team, Sheng Quan successfully retreated to the second line.
While the "holographic technology" was being carefully tested again by experts, the negotiation teams also began a long week-long process.
This is normal. Although both parties are sincere, this is a big matter with many details. It is impossible for everyone to sit together and talk for 30 minutes to get it done.
For example, Xingmang Entertainment originally had a complete holographic operation plan. Should it continue with this plan? If it does, which aspects of holographic technology can be used specifically? Which ones can be studied in depth? Which ones are related to the military? The country will definitely continue to study it, but this involves the current results and products of the institute and the researchers who have participated in the research process.
Sheng Quan was willing to let them go, but the problem was that the protagonist of this incident, Ning Zhou, was unwilling to leave.
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
After all, anyone who spends just two days with Ning Zhou can see how obsessed he is with scientific research.
His poor health before was not because he didn't exercise, but because he had always been law-abiding in other things. However, once he was obsessed with research, he forgot to do anything else and often forgot to eat and rest.
Later, after Shengquan invested in him, they assigned him five assistants. In addition, his two senior brothers also kept an eye on him. Only then did he become rosy-faced and his body gradually improve.
Ning Zhou has always given people the impression that as long as he can be given a suitable scientific research environment, he will be happy to go there.
"Haven't you always wanted to work in a government department?" Ning Zhou's two senior brothers were completely confused: "I remember the teacher said that was your dream."
This dream is not uncommon, as most of the students at C University have the same dream.
“It’s a dream.”
After two years of getting along, Ning Zhou's relationship with his fellow brothers had improved a lot, and he no longer lowered his eyes to avoid their sight when talking to them.
But at this moment, he avoided the gaze a little nervously, and his fair and ruddy face, which was carefully adjusted by the nutritionist, showed some helplessness: "I don't want to, I don't want to leave."
After saying this, he turned around and faced the wall, refusing to turn back.
This is an obvious feeling of nervousness and anxiety.
In the past, Ning Zhou would not receive any response when he had such emotions. He had experienced such nervousness and panic countless times when he was a child, but he never received any care from his family.
This happened so many times that every time this emotion occurred, Ning Zhou would only feel more uncomfortable and anxious.
He just has communication and emotional barriers and has not yet realized that everything is different.
"It's okay, it's okay. If you don't want to leave, then don't leave."
Just as the two brothers spoke their words of comfort, one of the five assistants who had always been inseparable from Ning Zhou appeared in a flash.
"Don't worry, your wishes will definitely be the priority."
As the assistant spoke, he handed Ning Zhou's phone to him.
Ning Zhou doesn't like change, so his mobile phone is still the one his parents bought him when he first entered college. The good news is that by the time he was in college, old phones had been eliminated, and although this phone is old and slow, it is at least a smart phone.
Sheng Quan didn't intend to force Ning Zhou to change his phone (although this phone was really slow, fortunately Ning Zhou didn't use social software), but she bought Ning Zhou a phone case to cover up the scratches on the back of the phone.
As soon as he got the phone, Ning Zhou, who had just shown signs of uneasiness, was quickly calmed down.
He carefully touched the cat pattern on the phone case and turned around slowly. The assistant took the opportunity to ask him: "Do you want to work in a national department?"
Ning Zhou nodded silently.
Assistant: "Are you worried that the new environment is too unfamiliar?"
Ning Zhou shook his head.
He raised his head again, holding the phone carefully in his hand, and looked towards the conference room: "Where is Director Sheng?"
Assistant: "Director Sheng will be here soon. You told me the same thing."
Ning Zhou looked up at him, then lowered his head: "It's different."
assistant:"……"
Ah~ Classmate Ning Zhou speaks the same as always~ Fortunately, Sheng Quan would come to see him every day, and not long after, she showed up with a glass of lemonade.
She has never been tactful in her communication with Ning Zhou, but this mode of communication is quite brisk.
Sheng Quan asked directly: "They said you don't want to leave, why? Isn't that your life goal?"
Ning Zhou looked at her and was willing to put down his phone at this moment, but he couldn't tell the reason: "I just don't want to leave."
Sheng Quan saw it: "Do you think this project is not yet completed?"
Ning Zhou thought seriously for a second and nodded: "I promised you that I would mass produce it."
“I can finish it within half a year.”
Ning Zhou finally found out why he didn't want to leave, and was a little happy, but also a little stubborn: "Let's make a deal first."
This "we" refers to him and Sheng Quan.
"They" were naturally the national scientific research departments that he had always longed for.
Sheng Quan found that he was not surprised at all that Ning Zhou thought this way.
What is said is one, what is said is two.
He is really capable of saying "I don't like you" to someone's face, because in his eyes, it is the same as saying "I'm hungry" when you are hungry.
Sheng Quan didn't intend to try to reason with Ning Zhou. This was the "rule" that Ning Zhou had been trying to maintain. He wasn't forced to do it, so why should he break it?
However, Mr. Sheng now has reason to suspect that the reason why Ning Zhou ended up like that in the original text might be that in addition to the poisonous materials, he was also deceived by others.
After all, he had been answering truthfully when they first met, and now they had only known each other for two years, and Ning Zhou was already like an easily gullible stray cat, revealing his soft belly to her without any defense.
If she was a little less self-righteous, as long as she said at this moment, "Yes, we have agreed on this, so you stay and work for me", Ning Zhou would definitely nod in agreement seriously.
Sheng Quan knew without guessing that Ning Zhou must have encountered a lot of things in the original text.
Just like every student who has just graduated from school, they are innocent and have no vigilance towards others. They open their trust without reservation. They are likely to be considered "easy to bully" and "easy to cheat". For example, the black taxis soliciting passengers at the entrance of the station are likely to target young people with fresh faces.
After being cheated and defrauded several times, these young people will grow up quickly like Sheng Quan did in the past, but Ning Zhou's illness prevents him from learning the knowledge about growth.
Mr. Sheng: So it’s better to leave it to the state for protection.
She patted Ning Zhou's shoulder gently, earning his trusting gaze.
"Yeah, let's talk about it first."
"So how about this, wait until they are ready for mass production, then you can report to the national department, okay?"
Ning Zhou's eyes lit up. He was very happy to be able to solve this problem that he thought was extremely difficult and he couldn't make a decision. "Okay."
Therefore, the negotiations were extended for another round because of Ning Zhou's decision.
Although Sheng Quan did not directly participate in the negotiations, she had to review almost all the compensation conditions . She had to hold eight meetings a day because it involved various companies under her umbrella, and management such as Gu Zhao also needed to participate.
They were busy and witnessed the various actions of the management, which used to be forced to make big moves. Naturally, the employees under Xingmang were curious about what was going on.
Everyone’s first reaction was: Is Mr. Sheng doing something big?
Generally speaking, as a company grows bigger, the presence of the chairman who is not directly involved in management will weaken in the eyes of employees. After all, there is a saying that "a county magistrate is not as good as an incumbent manager."
Subordinates will pay more attention to their immediate boss than to the chairman with whom they do not have much direct contact.
Employees of some subsidiaries may not even know the name of their company's chairman or president, but for companies under Shengquan, the chairman is definitely a star figure.
Whether it is her code of conduct, the generous treatment of employees, or her huge fame on the Internet, all together give rise to the so-called "Sheng School".
Mr. Sheng is on the hot search? Praise! Mr. Sheng has done something big? Proud! Mr. Sheng has bought an e-sports club? Support!
The unity and concerted efforts of this company are something that is really envied by its peers, but some people also think that Sheng Quan's actions are too disorganized.
It is obvious that Xingmang Entertainment needs to invest a lot of energy in its current development, otherwise it will easily fall into a bottleneck. As a result, she suddenly went to support an e-sports industry that is almost unpopular.
Now all the companies under Xingmang are making frequent moves, but everyone involved is keeping their mouths shut (signing confidentiality agreements) and refuses to reveal a single word.
How could this happen? Isn't that a problem with the company?
Inevitably, some people speculated whether Mr. Sheng, who was wealthy and capable of planning, had finally fallen from grace.
After all, although everyone jokes that in China's entertainment industry, the entertainment industry and the e-sports industry each account for half of the market, the entertainment industry has become more and more active in the past three years, while the e-sports industry has become more and more dead.
Many people had a lot of speculations in their minds, but no one dared to run to Sheng Quan and say anything. After all, even if the 3 billion yuan was wasted, Xingmang Entertainment is now one of the top three companies, and Sheng Quan's personal assets can still beat them.
Apart from anything else, the mechanical dog that is selling like hot cakes right now is a hen that lays golden eggs!
Of course, although they still smiled and didn't say a word, those businesses that were originally in contact with the Water Breaking Club for cooperation also began to wait and see.
The rights to broadcast the game from the perspective of the water-breaking club have also gone from being fiercely contested among major TV stations in the beginning to being hesitant now.
The one who finally won the live broadcast rights was Jinju TV, which never gave up or hesitated and was willing to make concessions with full sincerity.
"Kumquat Terrace?"
Sheng Quan listened to the report and remembered: "Team Tan and his team participated in the variety show on Kumquat TV, right?"
He Xi: “Yes, they are very sincere.”
Sheng Quan had searched for information about Kumquat Channel before. This channel has a much deeper foundation than the previous Strawberry Channel, but its competitiveness has obviously declined in the past two years.
"So much profit?"
After reading this, Sheng Quan understood why Jinjutai was so determined. They were unwilling to see themselves gradually slipping out of the top three and wanted to fight hard.
Originally according to the current situation, Po Shui would not be able to receive such high-standard treatment from a TV station, but since Jinju TV sees Po Shui as a hope for a comeback, it is natural that all parties will cooperate as much as possible.
Sheng Quan originally thought that he would have to pay some price to negotiate such treatment, but he didn't expect that the not-so-small Kumquat TV would be even more proactive than Strawberry TV.
As expected, there are gamblers in every industry.
If this succeeds, it will be a win-win situation for both parties. But no matter what, Sheng Quan will benefit more, so she will naturally return the favor: "You can add one more thing. The Poshui team is willing to cooperate with Jinju TV's promotion."
In Kumquat Station, some managers were happy about the response to the water breaking, while some were unhappy.
"We've spent so much resources, and in return we get team members to cooperate with us in promotion? If these resources were converted into money, we wouldn't be able to hire any big-name star."
"Don't say they will become famous overnight if they advance. Our country's team hasn't advanced to the semi-finals in several years! Yes, Director Sheng has a Midas touch in the entertainment industry, but her Midas touch can't be extended to e-sports, right?"
The director drank his coffee in silence. He knew that the other party had no bad intentions and that his opposition was only for the benefit of the station. He was under a lot of pressure to make such a decision.
If you fail, everything will be lost.
But the status of Jinjuetai is precarious. Rather than falling silently little by little, it is better to go all out. If they succeed, they will get great glory. If they fail, at least they tried to seize the best opportunity at the moment, which is the global competition.
The extremely anxious manager left angrily, thought for a while, and then called a foreign friend he knew in the lounge who specialized in interviewing e-sports related topics.
"My water broke?"
A foreign friend who had lived in China for two years answered directly in Chinese: "I haven't heard of it. Why are you asking this?"
After the management said this, the foreign friends were very sympathetic: "Well, I think this is a difficult matter. You don't know, this year is really crazy, the competition is fierce, country A alone has two super teams, it's so brutal."
"You Chinese nation, you can't fight in the first place. If you keep the current situation, I don't think it will work."
Management: “…”
Yes, foreign friends lived in Northeast China for those two years.
After asking about the international e-sports situation, he was completely discouraged.
Then, the promotion round started again.
When domestic e-sports fans have become accustomed to not having much hope.
——Team Breaking Water wins the victory.
