MTL - I Make Games To Scare Crying Players-Chapter 205 We...may discontinue cooperation
Hearing the other party's chuckle, the secretary was slightly taken aback.
As a young man who surfs the Internet all the year round, he actually has another understanding of the word ‘hehe’.
That is the derogatory meaning of wqnmlgb.
The reason why the word "hehe" is used to replace the derogatory meaning is mainly to reflect the attitude of young people who want to express their words in a eloquent manner and also want to use a tactful tone.
But this is only limited to the young people on the Internet, because for many older people, haha still means laughing.
But what's the situation now?
The boss of that small company actually said ‘huh’?
The implication is to scold me, to be speechless to me, and to not want to talk to me?
I came here specially to communicate with you, is this your attitude?
Thinking of this, the secretary's already dissatisfied mood rose again.
"Mr. Meng? Are you?"
Meng Shu on the other end of the phone spoke quickly, and the first sentence showed his attitude.
[Sorry, no. ]
After a pause, the voice continued.
[Miss, we have always maintained a pleasant business cooperation with Unlimited Online Entertainment, and the contract was signed very satisfactorily at that time. ]
[After this year, both of us are helping and benefiting each other and developing together. Now you suddenly came to me to ask for the copyright, the reason is that the supervisor Li with whom I was dealing with made a mistake in the work, and you want to correct the mistakes of both of us. This reason may not convince me. ]
[I am very busy now, I have a lot of things to do, and there is an announcement to be made in a few days, I really don’t have time to talk to you about this, please ask your leader to talk to me. ]
Upon hearing this, the secretary knew that it was time to hang up the phone, and hurriedly asked to keep someone.
"So, Mr. Meng, I called to talk to you. On behalf of my leader and the interests of Infinity Online Entertainment, I came to discuss with you how to resolve this matter."
"You must know that this matter cannot be resolved, please cooperate with us, thank you."
Meng Shu on the other end of the phone smiled.
[I still say that, sorry, no. ]
[However, I can explain to you why the copyright is on our side, not on your Unlimited Online Entertainment. ]
Meng Shu paused, and continued speaking.
[You just said that all the companies that cooperate with your Unlimited Online Entertainment have the copyright of their products in your Unlimited Online Entertainment. ]
[So, based on what I know about the industry. It is very likely that you Unlimited Online Entertainment paid for these small companies to produce it. Because the publisher can only hold the copyright if he contributes his own capital. ]
[It's like preparing a movie. Funded by the producer, and then find the producer to share the risk, and then ask the director team to shoot. In this way, the copyright is finally in the hands of the producer and the major producers who share the risk. The director team does not have copyright ownership. ]
[Miss, do you understand? The only game we have is different, we don't need you to pay us a penny from Infinity Online Entertainment to help us develop the game from the beginning to the end, we have always been like allies. After the game is finished, we just need you to help us promote it. So in this case, the copyright is reasonable on our side, I hope you understand. ]
secretary:.
The secretary was silent.
What's going on with this little boss?
Did he think he was bargaining with other small companies of the same size?
What is the scale of Unlimited Online Entertainment?
Big business!
You tend to cling to us, rely on us, and you still want to take advantage of all the benefits?
Allied relationship?
Do you really think your company is essential?
Without the promotion channel of Infinity Online Entertainment, what will you do?
Even if another publishing company comes to take over, can you guarantee that they can make the same large initial investment as us?
I thought that everyone's calm communication would make the work easier, so that you can be good to me.
Although you have lost the copyright of your work, you can still get the resources and channels, and the rest should be the same as before.
Why are you holding on to that IP?
Be a family heirloom?
For a while, the secretary's originally unhappy mood calmed down a little.
Because she knew that if the copyright issue could not be negotiated, her leadership would not be able to complete the business.
At the same time, this small company that does not know the heights of the sky and the earth will most likely be treated coldly in the future.
Forget about resources and technical support.
"Mr. Meng, please pay attention. Infinity Online Entertainment is discussing a film and television business project with Tiancheng Films. Do you know Tiancheng Pictures? They produced the popular movie "Black Teacher and Student Love" last year."
"The content of the project is the filming of games. The main focus is to enhance the value of IP and present the game to the market in another form of entertainment that is more acceptable."
"This project was discussed by the leader in person, and the company attaches great importance to it. We don't want to get stuck in your link, so we ask you to cooperate."
"Only in this way, then."
[You use our company's things to discuss business? ]
Suddenly, Meng Shu's voice on the phone became high and interrupted the secretary.
This made her pause for a moment, dissatisfied with the emphasis again.
"Mr. Meng, I'll say it again, please don't interrupt me."
[I'm asking you! Did you Unlimited Online Entertainment use our company's games to discuss business? ]
This voice is serious.
His tone is like a bell.
The sudden change of momentum and the two consecutive interruptions made the secretary, who was separated by a phone call, tremble.
At that moment, she felt as if she was facing her own leader and was under pressure.
[Yes or no? ]
Meng Shu's voice came again, and the questioning flavor made the secretary's pride unacceptable. But faced with this question, but do not know how to answer.
"Mr. Meng Meng, please don't get excited. Let's talk calmly, shall we?"
[yes? ]
The one-word question made the secretary feel an urge to hang up the phone.
But she knew in her heart that if she just hung up like this, she would confirm without asking herself.
Now the tone of the person in charge on the opposite side is full of invisible oppression like a leader, so she has to grit her teeth and persist.
Just as she was about to speak, a cold voice came from the other end of the phone again.
[You don’t need to answer. Seeing you like this, there is no difference between answering and not answering. I said how to cooperate well, so I suddenly ran over and changed my mind. After a long time, I used our company's things to do business. ]
[Let me ask you, did President Liang ask you to come here? ]
This question left the secretary speechless again.
At the same time, it also made her feel a little uneasy.
what's going on.
This Mr. Meng...does he know the chairman?
No way... There are many small companies that cooperate with Unlimited Online Entertainment. But their bosses are at most at the level of department heads and department managers...
Some even have no access to department managers.
Not to mention COO, CEO, and chairman.
But this Mr. Meng... seems to have an intersection with the chairman.?
Just when the secretary didn't know how to answer, Meng Shu's next sentence completely confirmed her guess.
[Go and tell Mr. Liang that it’s okay to talk about copyright, and ask him to call me, or ask Director Lian to come and talk to me. It's not just asking someone I don't know to come and let me do this and that, and work hard without complaint. ]
There are two meanings in these words, and the secretary can hear them both.
First, I only talk to people I know, even if it is a supervisor.
The second type, you are not worthy.
The not-so-stupid secretary bit her lower lip tightly. From the moment Mr. Meng's attitude changed, she only said a word weakly.
Now she is being suppressed throughout the whole process, which makes her pride as the COO secretary unacceptable.
So, she took a deep breath and spoke softly.
"Mr. Mengmeng, if the leader's work is not going well because of your relationship, do you want to take responsibility... Please understand... We have the right not to promote your company's products."
…
There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then he spoke.
[Oh, is it? ]
The secretary swallowed her saliva, and when she felt that the other party was not so pressing, she followed suit.
"Yeah... Seriously. We might be direct."
After a pause, the secretary hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering whether to say the next thing.
But in the next second, her eyes were firm and she spoke.
"... directly terminate the cooperation...!"
Silence—
The two of them had nothing to say.
The other end of the phone didn't seem to expect to say such a thing, and for a while, he didn't know how to react.
But the secretary felt a little uneasy.
For some reason, after saying this, she had two emotions entangled with each other.
One is relieved, freed from the pressure of the leadership questioning just now.
One is anxiety, after all, adults are responsible for speaking.
Especially this kind of speech that involves interests in the workplace, if one does not pay attention, the future may be gone.
Although she added the word 'possible', and she only said it verbally, it shouldn't be a problem to raise a warning.
But the secretary is also very annoyed now, and at the same time has some awakening.
If it is really possible for Mr. Meng to know the chairman, then their contract is rather special.
Thinking of this, the secretary was stunned.
If this is the case, shouldn’t this small company be treated like other small companies?
Just as the secretary's thoughts were racing, Meng Shu laughed again on the phone.
[Hello, whether this cooperation should continue or not is actually not a big headache for us now. ]
[Continue to cooperate, yes, let's make it easy and convenient. It's okay to suspend cooperation, we do it ourselves, it doesn't matter. ]
[But I know you can't be the master. ]
[So, you should go back and tell Mr. Liang to call me. Or, ask your leader to give me a call. ]
[That's it, I'm very busy, so I'll hang up first. ]
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang with a busy tone.
Didn't wait for the secretary to speak at all.
She stared blankly at the phone, speechless for a moment.
This contact not only failed to accomplish anything, but I was also questioned for a while, and I was very aggrieved.
Recalling what happened just now, the secretary pressed his lower lip tightly and dialed the phone number of the direct leader COO.
