Chapter 204 Hehe
The secretary was full of displeasure. As a COO assistant, she had never received such treatment.
Because of the special position, whether she is in the company or outside the company, as long as she introduces herself as COO's secretary, basically visiting customers will give her face.
After all, this is Unlimited Online Entertainment, the COO's secretary.
So, it made her comfortable. Although the work is very busy, but also enjoy it.
Even the way she speaks on the chat software has begun to be a little 'indifferent', often giving people a feeling of questioning.
Now, the Lian supervisor actually ignored him directly.
This is too impolite!
Alright, since it is so difficult to ask you to do something, then I will go in person.
How could we, Unlimited Online Entertainment, release games for nothing?
Even the most basic work copyright was not negotiated, which shows that Lian's supervisor is not capable!
The secretary found the person in charge of the only game in the company's internal information, and dialed the number without saying a word.
As a result, the call was hung up immediately after two calls!
what's the situation?
The secretary looked puzzled and dialed the number again.
The result was the same as the first time, after two rings, the phone was hung up.
This made the secretary's uneasy mood even more unbearable.
Are you a small company that cooperates with our unlimited online entertainment so high-profile?
Not even answering the phone?
The secretary dialed the number a third time full of displeasure.
I thought that if you hang up on me for the third time, then don’t blame me for not reminding you, this is because you don’t answer the phone and don’t discuss it!
But fortunately, the call was finally connected this time.
Accompanies it with a slightly younger male voice.
[Hello. Who is this? ]
Listening to the voice, the secretary suppressed his dissatisfaction and put on a commercial smile.
Although she couldn't see the little boss on the other end of the phone, this change of attitude was learned from the workplace.
Cleared her throat twice, she asked softly.
"Hello, is this Mr. Meng? I am the secretarial assistant of the Operation Department of Unlimited Online Entertainment."
After speaking, the secretary waited for a reply. She didn't tell the other party what her last name was, because there was no need for that.
Just say what you do.
But what was strange was that the other end of the phone suddenly stopped responding after she finished speaking, which made her frown slightly.
Fortunately, the silence only lasted for a second or two, and the voice of the little boss Mr. Meng came again.
[Is the operation department calling again this time, okay, what's the matter with you Unlimited Online Entertainment? ]
again?
What's the meaning?
Did anyone else find him before me?
The secretary was thinking about it, and suddenly realized that it was Director Lian.
yes!
For things like copyright, will Director Lian, as the person in charge, not notify him?
I must have passed the air before I called.
No wonder I didn't reply to the news, it turned out that I have already explained it here.
If this is the case, then Mr. Meng must know about the copyright business that the leader is talking about, so he asked what's the matter.
Very good, then I don’t need to waste time explaining to him, let’s get straight to the point!
"Mr. Meng, it's like this. First of all, I would like to apologize to you for the negligence of our supervisor. Because of her business mistakes, you made a mistake in an extremely important regulation when signing the cooperation agreement with our company." .”
"is the product"
[What? ]
During the phone call, Meng Shu suddenly interrupted, expressing his doubts.
"Mr. Meng, please listen to me? Don't interrupt, thank you."
[Oh oh oh, I’m really sorry, sorry. ]
The secretary cleared his throat and continued what he said just now.
"Because of the negligence of our director Lian's work, there is a problem with the ownership of the product in the contract. Because it should be the copyright of our infinite online entertainment, because of the contract, it has become your only game."
"I hope you understand this."
After finishing speaking, the secretary spoke again without waiting for the reply from the small boss opposite.
"Mr. Meng, do you know that we, Unlimited Online Entertainment, have also released many products of other companies, whether it is games or other products. Without exception, the copyright belongs to us."
"It is impossible for us to do things for our partners in vain, otherwise we, Unlimited Online Entertainment, would not be able to achieve the current scale."
"The situation on your side is more complicated, that is, Unlimited Online Entertainment spends a large amount of money to promote your games through its own internal channels. We approve projects, formulate plans, and negotiate prices. That’s it. But in the end, it’s just a commission, and there’s no copyright, which is obviously unreasonable.”
"It's like a company of our size is spending time and energy as a middleman, and it's still at its own expense. To be honest, Mr. Meng, I can't even imagine the serious consequences."
"In case your game doesn't achieve good results in the market, then our method of promoting it out of pocket in the early stage is simply a bamboo basket. If we say that we have the copyright of the work, it's okay to say, after all, it is our own thing, and we have failed. It failed, at least the IP is here."
"But even the copyright is not ours, so we have to take such a big risk to promote the uncertainty. Mr. Meng, if it were your company, would you accept such cooperation?"
The secretary stopped talking, and handed the microphone to the other party.
Meng Shu, on the other hand, was a little funny.
He originally thought that the call was from Unlimited Online Entertainment wanting to inquire about game development.
I didn't expect it to be copyrighted.
Although the secretarial assistant Balabala said a lot, it can be summed up in one sentence.
‘Our cooperation model needs to be changed. '
Meng Shu in front of the computer was not familiar with the secretary of the Unlimited Online Entertainment Operation Department, and he didn't want to argue with her.
The questions she said now have been clearly asked when she was discussing cooperation with Director Lian last year.
At that time, he asked Lian the same way, saying that if the game does not sell well, the sales volume is very poor, what should I do if I can’t pay back?
Director Lian told him categorically that Unlimited Online Entertainment doesn't just publish games from one company. If you lose money, you can make up for it with profits elsewhere. After all, this is the way of doing business, there is no absolute net profit, and there are risks everywhere.
The reason why he chose to release Meng Shu's first game "Dark Forest" at that time was not only that its popularity and popularity had reached a peak in all aspects, but also because of its prospects in the horror game market.
is worth investing in!
Now, Unlimited Online Entertainment is betting right.
But now what?
Revisiting the past?
Want to calculate the general ledger?
Product ownership?
Meng Shu didn't bother to talk to her at all.
[Just say what you want to say, don’t ask me back. ]
He responded lightly, with a bit of boredom and fatigue in his tone.
Hearing this, the secretary directly opened the skylight to speak clearly, regardless of whether the little boss on the other end of the phone understood what he meant.
"It's very simple, Mr. Meng, considering that it was caused by the mistakes of our company's staff, the cooperation agreement between you and our company will continue to be implemented, and you just need to cooperate with us to deal with some problems."
"First, your company needs to hand over the copyrights of several current works, including but not limited to games, music, art, peripheral objects and other related products that our company participates in and distributes."
"Second, Infinity Online Entertainment will hold the copyright of all future products of your company, including but not limited to games, music, art, peripheral objects, etc."
"Third, after completing the above two items, your company can continue to enjoy our company's publicity resources and promotion channels."
"The above, that's it. Sorry for the inconvenience. I hope we can finish this matter as soon as possible, Mr. Meng."
On the other end, Meng Shu didn't show any expression on his face after listening to the secretary's request.
There was no sign of embarrassment at all.
Yes, just calm and indifferent.
After a while, he spoke slowly.
[Are you finished? ]
"It's over, is your company willing to cooperate?"
Meng Shu sneered, and jumped out two words.
[hehe. ]
