Chapter 56 Can't Beat, Can't Beat at All (Gageng)

In Shanghai World Financial Center, in a private meeting room on the 86th floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel, Lin Bai, Zhang Xinyang, and Wu Wen were sitting separately.

Both Zhang Xinyang and Wu Wen brought assistants.

Lin Bai was alone.

His manager, Xiaowei, is from Xingchen, so it's really not good for him to appear on this occasion.

After all, it involves negotiations with a final value of at least 5000 million.

To say that the artist industry is really full of opportunities, from penniless to tens of millions almost overnight.

Talking about the 1200 million equivalent exchange contract before, with Wu Wen's guidance, Lin Bai didn't have too many disturbances.

Because we are talking about resource replacement that cannot be touched all at once.

1200 million is a string of numbers.

Right now it's completely different.

First of all, Wu Wen may become Party A, so I can't give advice.

Secondly, the signing fee of 500 million yuan will be credited immediately after signing the contract.

In the end, the liquidated damages are more than the signing fee, and the law allows up to five times.

That is to say, assuming that Lin Bai signs in Songle, once the contract is breached plus the signing fee, the total compensation will be 3000 million!
For example, when Lin Bai first signed the artist long-term contract similar to other industry school recruitment agreements, it also directly set a maximum liquidated damages of 5 times.

Speaking of which, the artist's long-term contract also includes an additional monthly payment of 2500 yuan for living expenses, which is slightly higher than the minimum wage standard in Yangcheng.

Counting from the month following the signing.

There is no need to refund this part of the living expenses for breach of contract, anyway, the maximum compensation for breach of contract is 60.

There are many details in it, and the starting point of the entertainment company is to safeguard the interests of both parties.

According to laws and regulations, unless the school artist voluntarily takes the initiative, there is no need to complete any artist affairs after signing the contract until graduation.

Professional training institutions have emerged as the times require, and their intervention allows both parties to save time and cost and get returns faster.

But another situation also emerged.

Most of the students at school sign a long-term contract with an artist, enter a training institution and then make their debut, and they will directly kick out the entertainment company.

As for the entertainment company voluntarily terminating the contract... Lin Bai has experienced it once, the artist does not need to lose money, and even the signing fee does not need to be refunded.

So, it finally evolved into the current situation——

If an artist at school develops well before graduation and doesn't like the entertainment company he signed with, negotiate to lose money so that they can get together and break up.

If the development is not good, honestly enter the company and wait to be popular.

In fact, no matter what, the artist itself does not lose much. After all, only the artist who initiates the termination of the contract will need to lose money.

It's not the kind of artist contract with a gambling nature.

In short, the long-term contract of student artists is an important cornerstone of the standardization, scale and high-quality of the blue star entertainment industry.

Students from first-class universities such as Yangcheng Academy of Art can be guaranteed earlier, and they are more daring to try, which promotes better development of the industry.

Moreover, the entertainment company signed the contract and paid the signing fee immediately, and the last time it was the most chic for a while, and then waited to join the company as a horse after graduation.

Needless to say, if you take the popular route and become popular.

If you are not popular, continue to enter the company honestly and wait to be popular. The key is that even if you are not popular, your income is far higher than other professions.

Therefore, the risk of entertainment companies will be relatively higher.

For example, if you encounter a talent like Lin Bai and you don't sign Xingchen in the end, you will lose your pants.

In contrast, liquidated damages set at 5 times is actually six!
It's just that the singer contract that Lin Bai is going to talk about now has a gambling nature.

…………

In the well-furnished private meeting room, the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

The assistants of Wu Wen and Zhang Xinyang each took out documents from their briefcases.

Immediately, the two looked at each other, and Assistant Zhang Xinyang said first: "Mr. Lin, we are old friends with you..."

"Xingchen's resources in all aspects are obvious to all in the industry. We have the ability and confidence to help you get better and better in your career as a singer..."

In the end, she reported the most basic conditions of Xingchen: "If Teacher Lin can sign a singer contract with us, the signing fee will be 500 million."

After listening carefully, Lin Bai murmured in his heart: "It's all 500 million? I'm afraid the two sides have already communicated."

Assistant Wu Wen opened the file, looked up at Lin Bai, and said loudly, "Ms. Lin, we..."

Wu Wen suddenly interrupted her assistant's narration, and looked at Zhang Xinyang: "Mr. Zhang, how about our cooperation?"

"Since Mr. Lin wants to talk to our two families, why don't our two families talk to Mr. Lin together."

Hearing this, Zhang Xinyang immediately showed a warm smile: "Of course no problem!"

"This will save some trouble, and we can communicate more smoothly."

Zhang Xinyang almost didn't laugh out loud.

Last night when he learned that Wu Wen had blocked Lin Bai overnight, he was really out of breath.

Before Lin Bai signed the personalized contract with Xingchen, Wu Wen gave a lot of advice, and Zhang Xinyang said in front of Lin Bai that Mr. Wu was very harmful.

Zhang Xinyang also knew that Wu Wen and Lin Bai had a long relationship recently.

In the current three-party negotiation scene, he was very worried that Wu Wen would be 'harmful' again.

Zhang Xinyang also knew that Song Le's boss had been replaced by Wu Wen overnight, and he himself was just the general manager of Star Entertainment's Yangcheng branch.

At best, they are partners, but they do not have unlimited decision-making power.

Of course, Zhang Xinyang really didn't want to miss the talent of Lin Bai.

Wu Wen really didn't talk nonsense last night, assuming that Lin Bai signed Xingchen and became a first-line singer in two or three years, it would not be a problem to bring Xingchen a market value of 10 billion.

Yes, Star Entertainment is already listed.

Now he can be considered relieved.

The three-party negotiation becomes the first cooperation between the two parties, and the interests of the parties are the same. At least there will be no mutual disruption and party B's unlimited demands.

In business and business, earning a little is a little bit.

For this scene, Lin Bai had imagined it beforehand, and just now he was muttering in his heart, not very surprised, just kept smiling and didn't say anything.

As long as the two Party A didn't tell him to leave, he had enough time and patience.

The conference room was a little quiet. Facing Zhang Xinyang's gaze, Wu Wen looked at Lin Bai and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, can you wait a moment, I want to talk to Mr. Zhang first."

"Okay." Lin Bai smiled and got up to leave.

This is not surprising.

Normal, expected thing.

Wu Wen's assistant came out with Lin Bai, and politely led Lin Bai to sit in another private meeting room next door.

Seeing the hot tea just brewed, Lin Bai couldn't help but recall the time when he asked Li Lanhui for advice in the morning.

I first consulted Lu Man and the others. They said they had no relevant experience and could not give advice, and then bothered Li Lanhui.

During that phone call, Lin Bai explained the current situation thoroughly, mentioned Wu Wen's conditions in detail, and also expressed his own thoughts.

Li Lanhui on the other end of the phone simply dismantled the problem: "If the conditions given by Mr. Wu can be implemented in the contract, choose Songle."

"It is impossible for any entertainment company to come up with the same conditions."

"It's okay if you want to bring both of them in to talk together, but in general, they cooperate and talk to you unilaterally."

"In the end, you can only weigh the outcome yourself. There is no right or wrong, only pros and cons."

So Lin Bai had a good idea.

Don't think about the best result, just do it if you can negotiate without losing money, and don't sign it if you can't.

Anyway, the process of releasing songs is simple, and he is still a songwriter after all, so he can easily make friends with artists in the circle.

.........

At this time, in the conference room on the other side, Zhang Xinyang looked at Wu Wen and cut straight to the point: "Mr. Wu, please raise your hand this time."

"Our cooperation with Mr. Lin is not bad, and we want to establish a more in-depth cooperative relationship this time."

"Ms. Lin is also more familiar with Yangcheng, Hangzhou is a bit far away after all."

"Of course, we also hope to establish a better cooperative relationship with Solar."

What Zhang Xinyang said was more euphemistic, but the meaning was clear. Of course Wu Wen could understand.

In order to successfully sign a singer contract with Lin Bai, he is willing to release resources to Songle and give up a small amount of benefits for unequal exchange.

Wu Wen looked at Zhang Xinyang and showed a cold smile: "Mr. Zhang misunderstood, Song Le will definitely sign Teacher Lin."

"I will reach an agreement with Xingchen headquarters, and Songle will also open the studio to Yangcheng."

"What I mean is, please ask Mr. Zhang and Xingchen to act according to the contract they signed with Mr. Lin."

Zhang Xinyang: "..."

There is only one word in his head... Fuck.

He has never dealt with Wu Wen before, and he is not familiar with Wu Wen's style, but now he is instantly familiar with it!
Because Wu Wen didn't care about Zhang Xinyang's reaction at all, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a few words.

Then Zhang Xinyang's phone rang.

Zhang Xinyang saw the number, looked at Wu Wen with complicated eyes, listened for a long time after connecting, and finally said only one word: "Okay."

After finishing the call, Zhang Xinyang got up and adjusted his clothes, and said with a smile, "I wish Mr. Wu and Mr. Lin a happy cooperation."

Still so elegant and easy-going.

No way, can't beat, can't beat at all.

It's not a competition at all.

The rich second generation of the family directly made a big deal.

Zhang Xinyang really couldn't understand how a rich woman like Wu Wen would be interested in robbing people.

He didn't even understand why Wu Wen was so nice to Lin Bai.

It didn't hurt people last time.

This time, he directly played in person, and the conditions offered were generous even for a partner of a listed company.

Wu Wen didn't bother to care about what Zhang Xinyang thought, she was happy.

Who stipulated that she couldn't change from the initial admiration to the blogger cultivation camp?
The young people are lively and upright on the Internet to become bloggers.

She is in her thirties, unmarried, has no children, and has money and leisure. It is not easy to get involved online, and she cannot participate in real actions~
.........

Lin Bai was drinking tea in a leisurely manner, and began to think about making a rare trip to Shanghai to have a good time, since the company will reimburse him anyway.

Hearing the sound, I turned around and saw Wu Wen's assistant pushing the door, and then Wu Wen walked in without looking sideways.

Before Lin Bai could respond, Wu Wen said bluntly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"what?"

"Sign the contract if you don't."

"This one……"

"Go hire a lawyer yourself to connect with Songle's lawyer, and the lawyer Fei Songle will pay."

"I……"

Wu Wen pulled out a chair and sat opposite Lin Bai: "The main terms were discussed last night."

"You must become a first-line singer within two years. At that time, Songle will help you set up a studio and become a shareholder of Songle. The value of the shares will not be less than 60% of the capital value you created for Songle."

"Your cooperation with Xingchen is still the same, and Songle has newly acquired a music studio in Yangcheng to serve your singing and composing."

"Don't ask what it's like if you don't make it to the first line for two years. If you don't make it, you will pay 3000 million yuan. Don't think about losing a single point."

"Sign or not, give me a sentence."

Facing Wu Wen's gaze, Lin Bai said honestly: "The liquidated damages are too high, and the gains and risks are too great for me."

"You didn't understand those rules before, how dare you sign a contract with Xingchen?" Wu Wen glanced at Lin Bai, wondering.

Lin Bai replied honestly: "The 6 high-quality songs in three years are relatively simple, and I haven't talked about the breach of contract for the other 24 songs. At that time, I thought I made a profit."

This is the truth.

At that time, he was thinking that it would be enough to copy the 6 high-quality songs in stock, and he would not violate the contract if he wrote anything else and didn't make it to the top [-] of the new song list.

This is not properly earned!
Wu Wen didn't talk too much, and said bluntly: "Either you develop yourself, or the liquidated damages of your singer contract will be 3000 million."

"The treatment that Sole gives you should exceed the sum of the treatment that all other companies that are interested in you can give!"

"It is impossible for other companies to promise you a share of the capital value you create before you become top-notch. I didn't even talk to you about 55% and gave you 6% directly. You have to thank me for being rich enough."

"I believe you have consulted Teacher Li Lanhui, you can decide for yourself."

Lin Bai took a few deep breaths, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Indeed, unless you develop yourself, signing a singer contract is a gamble. In the end, if you don’t get to the front line as soon as possible, you will have to pay 3000 million yuan.

After all, the faster Lin Bai advances to the top line, the greater his value.

Song Le really gave a lot.

In fact, it is also equivalent to a cooperative mode. Song Le can earn some money from Lin Bai, but leave the bulk to Lin Bai.

For example, Song Le will give Lin Bai shares. Xiao Feng, who was a first-line singer before, did not have this kind of treatment.

Immediately, Lin Bai looked up at Wu Wen, who stretched out her hand directly: "Stop, don't be curious about how I persuaded Zhang Xinyang, and don't be curious about why I signed you at all costs."

In the end, Wu Wen got up from her side and said, "You did pretty well today, I know you should invite the two families to talk together."

"Although the result hasn't changed, it's good to know how to think with your brain."

Lin Bai: "..."

: In fact, Chapter 1 included this part of the setting at first. Later, I felt that it was too watery to let go of the beginning. After the modification, Mengxin kept forgetting. Now I add it, but it is an extra word count. For example, this chapter is 3700 words~
PS: Ask for tickets, ask for follow-up~ Save the poor Mengxin, if you don’t go up for follow-up, you will be gone~
