Secretary Liu is indeed very efficient.
In just ten minutes, all the copyright registration matters related to "Leaving Xiazhou" were completed.
It's important to understand that the copyright registration process for a work involves submitting an application, having it accepted by the copyright protection center, and then having it reviewed and registered by an examiner.
The entire process takes at least three days.
Even so, you still need connections in the government.
As for copyright registrations that are applied for entirely online, the review period is longer, taking at least fifteen working days.
During this time, He Chu kept trying to talk to Secretary Liu about personal connections and relationships.
The intention was clear: they wanted Secretary Liu to keep the matter a secret.
But Secretary Liu wouldn't pay him any attention.
If only I had known then what I know now.
In Secretary Liu's eyes, He Chu was no different from a prisoner.
However, he also had a hidden agenda.
To prevent He Chu from harassing Lin Rui, he pretended to agree and let He Chu stay in the office.
He wanted to avoid being seen by Lin Rui, who might then recall the previous unpleasantness and mention it to Xu Hongzhuo.
That'll be a lot of fun.
Perhaps truly terrified and at a loss for what to do, He Chu, without suspecting anything, slunk into the office.
Half an hour later.
Lin Rui signed the authorization letter with Xu Hongzhuo, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left the Xiazhou Art Association.
No sooner had he left than Secretary Liu truthfully reported what had happened to Xu Hongzhuo.
"This is outrageous!"
"The arts association is becoming increasingly chaotic and disorderly!"
"Go to the discipline group and report this matter to Committee Member Zeng."
"Tell him to start a thorough investigation immediately, and say it was my idea."
Xu Hongzhuo leaned back on the sofa, his expression unreadable.
But since the disciplinary team has been ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, He Chu's fate is self-evident.
Five minutes later, He Chu, looking utterly dejected, was ushered into the disciplinary group.
At the same time, Tianrui Entertainment released an announcement on Weibo, which shocked many people in the industry.
Chief agents He Qing and Xu Jinmao have left Tianrui Entertainment.
At the same time, He Qing and a large number of artists under Xu Jinmao's management also terminated their contracts with Tianrui Entertainment.
What's going on?
Is Tianrui Entertainment, which was thriving, about to go downhill?
With two top-tier agents leaving and a large number of artists terminating their contracts, is this a sign of things getting colder after the departure of these influential figures?
Entertainment companies of all sizes in the industry have been eagerly waiting to see Tianrui fail.
After all, the actions of this dark horse, Fusheng, have indeed threatened the interests of many people.
But no one expected that this collapse would come so quickly.
It was so unexpected!
Of course, while they were watching the show, they weren't idle either, immediately extending olive branches to He Qing and Xu Jinmao.
As for the artists who terminated their contracts with Tianrui, they were snapped up by the authorities.
Lin Yueyin, in particular, was the first to terminate her contract with Tianrui Entertainment.
Half an hour later, he announced on Weibo that he had joined Rolling Entertainment.
"Has something happened to Uncle He?"
"He didn't say, but he must be in trouble."
Lin Yueyin was on the phone with Ning Xiyuan.
"Cousin, you left in such a hurry without telling me beforehand."
Ning Xiyuan only found out about Lin Yueyin's contract termination with Tianrui after seeing it on Weibo.
"Back then, I declined multiple invitations from Tianyi, Rolling Stock, and Haitian."
"I only signed with Tianrui because of Uncle He's influence."
"Now that Uncle He has left, I naturally will not stay at Tianrui."
"I don't know where this small company gets the audacity to let Uncle He and Uncle Xu go."
"Do you really think you can support a company just by relying on your livelihood?"
"ridiculous."
Lin Yueyin still harbored resentment and grudges against Lin Rui for rejecting her.
"Cousin, I don't agree with what you said."
"Your junior is talented and has a good temper. Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"
Ning Xiyuan didn't say it, but she knew perfectly well what was going on in her mind.
My cousin is spoiled and pampered; it's probably because of her princess syndrome.
Hearing Ning Xiyuan openly criticize her for Lin Rui's sake, Lin Yueyin felt somewhat annoyed.
“Xi Yuan, if you say that, then we can’t even be relatives anymore.”
"They're both surnamed Lin, how come he's such a terrible person?"
"Just you wait and see, Tianrui will be finished very soon."
"The entertainment industry is a capital market. Tianrui is currently severely damaged. It lacks both personnel and funds. Which of the three leading companies is not richer than it?"
"Soon, the three leading companies will take action against Tianrui."
At this point, Lin Yueyin still seemed unsatisfied: "At that time, that bastard Fusheng will also be in trouble. Xiyuan, I advise you to resign as soon as possible. I can introduce you to Rolling."
"We'll see. I'll think about it carefully."
After ending the call, Ning Xiyuan looked at the lifeless composition department with a hint of worry.
As a top student from Xiazhou Conservatory of Music, and with a family background in business, Ning Xiyuan is not a brainless person.
As Lin Yueyin mentioned, people within Tianrui are in a state of panic and are on the verge of collapse at any moment.
Haitian, Tianyi, and Rolling, the three leading companies, are eyeing Tianrui Entertainment covetously, lurking in the shadows at any moment to seize its remaining value.
Faced with such internal and external troubles, has Zhou Rongze come up with a solution?
Not only was she watching, but the entire entertainment industry in Xiazhou was watching as well.
Tianrui Entertainment was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.
"Are we just going to let them go like that?"
"The penalty for breach of contract alone is a huge sum of money."
Zhou Rongze felt a pang of regret.
So many artists have left at once, including eight second-tier artists.
That's not the point. The key point is that this was a unilateral termination of the contract by the company, and the artists do not need to pay any penalty for breach of contract.
"Do you think I, Li Donglai, lack such a small amount of money?"
Li Donglai spoke calmly.
Zhou Rongze glanced sideways at Li Donglai, cursing inwardly that the well-fed don't know the hunger of the starving.
Seemingly sensing Zhou Rongze's ulterior motives, Li Donglai's lips curled up: "Too small-minded, too narrow-minded."
"I just received news that in three days, the Arts Association will officially announce the birth of the first piano master in the history of Xiazhou."
"Reporting on Lin Rui?"
Zhou Rongze frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
“They are very clever; their reporting only stays within the scope of Fusheng’s identity and doesn’t go beyond that.”
Li Donglai immediately saw through Zhou Rongze's concerns.
"That would be a huge good thing for both Lin Rui and the company."
"I can understand getting rid of He Qing and Xu Jinmao; it's a way to eliminate destabilizing factors."
"I really don't understand why they're in such a hurry to terminate their contracts with those artists, even at the cost of forfeiting the breach of contract fees."
Zhou Rongze still harbored resentment.
"capital."
"There is a sentence in my dictionary, Li Donglai."
"Never adapt to the market, but explore it. If you can't explore it, then create it."
"I deliberately created the illusion that Tianrui was about to collapse, so that I could have a chance to consolidate the company's shares."
"Compared to the paltry sum of the penalty for breach of contract, the impending surge in market value is what I'm really looking forward to."
"We only have three days; it's a race against time."
"Therefore, there is no need to waste time on the issue of liquidated damages."
Zhou Rongze gave Li Donglai a deep look, feeling a chill run down his spine.
horrible!
No sooner had the investment agreement been signed than Li Donglai began scheming against the members of the board of directors.
To be honest, given Tianrui's current internal and external troubles, acquiring their shares at market price, or even slightly below market price, is not a pipe dream.
No, it's highly likely!
We're all in business, and none of us are fools. The only difference is who has a higher IQ and can see further.
"You deserve to be recognized as the richest man in both Huazhou and Xiazhou. I'm convinced."
Zhou Rongze was convinced, both outwardly and inwardly.
If possible, he would never want to stand on the opposite side of Li Donglai in his entire life.
This person is cunning and adept at understanding human nature.
"Does telling me this mean I can also get a piece of the pie?"
Indeed, compared to the soaring stock price, that small amount of penalty fee is nothing!
Zhou Rongze stopped complaining and transformed back into a shrewd businessman.
"I adhere to principles in both my personal life and business dealings."
"I, Li Donglai, only own 50% of Tianrui's shares."
"Take as much of the rest as you can."
