Chapter 305 305. Huayi’s Crisis

Chapter 305 305. Huayi’s Crisis

That night, the meeting room of Huayi Group was brightly lit.

Even Wang Zhongjun, who had not been to the company for a long time, hurried over. However, everyone's expression was not very good. They were gloomy and did not talk to anyone. They rushed to the meeting room as soon as they entered the company.

The employees of the entire company also seemed flustered. They were a little absent-minded at work all day. The departure of Wang Jinghua and Chen Daoming, two consecutive bad news, made them feel bad even if they did not know the inside story.

After the secretary Xiao Li brewed the tea, he walked to the door of the meeting room and knocked on the door twice. After a long while, someone inside replied "Come in". With a nervous heart, Xiao Li just opened the door of the meeting room and was choked and coughed violently.

Xiao Li complained in his heart while coughing, what on earth was this scene in front of him?

She would ask the cleaning staff to clean the conference room carefully every day, and spray air freshener every time afterwards, so the environment of this conference room is definitely very good, but now, it is full of smoke, and Xiao Li even has a feeling that he can't see people clearly. How much did these guys smoke to cause such a scene?

Should I remind them, otherwise if it continues to accumulate, I am afraid that the fire truck will be called soon.

"Chairman, Mr. Wang, and all the directors are sorry." Xiao Li apologized while distributing the brewed tea to each leader in the room, resisting the itchy feeling of the smoke entering his throat. After distributing the tea, he deliberately opened the window, accompanied by a breeze, which made the smoke in the room lighter.

"Xiao Li, you have worked hard, you can go home now." Wang Zhonglei, who had been thinking in his seat, was brought back to his senses by the cool breeze. He glanced at Xiao Li and said directly.

"It's okay, Mr. Wang. I'll be waiting outside. If you need anything, just call me." Xiao Li shook her head. She used to be eager to get off work early, but this time she had no intention of going back.

Xiao Li carefully cleaned up the garbage on the table before leaving. The atmosphere in the meeting room after closing the door again became gloomy again.

"How many artists' calls were not connected." Wang Zhongjun, who was sitting in the main seat, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked.

"Seventeen, including Chen Daoming, Liu Jialing, Xia Yu, Hu Jun and others who unilaterally terminated the contract, and some second- and third-tier artists, including their agents and assistants, could not be contacted." Wang Zhonglei answered immediately after hearing Wang Zhongjun's question, and looked at his brother apologetically after he finished speaking.

On weekdays, Wang Zhongjun was in charge of the company's external affairs and Wang Zhonglei was in charge of the internal affairs. Now that something like this happened, Wang Zhonglei was naturally to blame, and he felt guilty for trusting his brother from the bottom of his heart.

Even when Wang Zhongjun arrived just now, he asked to resign, but Wang Zhongjun did not agree.

"Seventeen. I remember that Huayi has less than thirty artists in total."

"It's twenty-eight. A new artist was signed in the last two months." The head of the artist department wiped the cold sweat from his head and answered.

Wang Zhongjun glanced at him coldly and suddenly said, "You can go back and write your resignation report."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone sitting at the scene felt a chill all over their bodies, and the head of the artist department turned pale instantly. He wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but when he met Wang Zhongjun's cold eyes, he found that the words on his lips could not come out.

After mumbling for a long time, it finally turned into a weak sigh. The head stood up and bowed to Wang Zhongjun who was sitting in the main seat apologetically, and then stepped on heavy steps and left the meeting room frustratedly.

He knew that his future in Huayi was over.

Such a big thing happened in Huayi, and it was necessary to find someone to take the blame, and he was obviously the first one, and he would definitely not be the last one. Looking at the frightened appearance of the people who were still in the meeting room, you can know how scared they are at the moment.

"So who are the other famous artists in the company now?" Wang Zhongjun asked the second question.

"Li Binbin and Fan Binbin have not left, and there is also Ren Quan. Oh, and we also have Nie Wei. We have been in contact with Nie Wei!" As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, a supervisor quickly reported a few names.

If Wang Jinghua doesn't make a move, it's fine. But once she does, she is quite ruthless.

With the departure of Chen Daoming, Liu Jialing, Hu Jun and other big names, Huayi has actually become an empty shell. Almost all the big-name artists have been taken away, leaving only two or three small fish. It is simply a first-class domestic agency that has been directly hollowed out.

However, Wang Zhongjun was a little surprised that Li Binbin and Fan Binbin, the two golden flowers brought out by Wang Jinghua, did not leave. This is actually a blessing in disguise.

These two girls have great potential. Although they are not yet in the first-tier, they are also quasi-first-tier, and they are well-known and have qualifications in the circle. If the company is dedicated to supporting them, it will not be too difficult for them to enter the first-tier.

As for the last Nie Wei, Wang Zhongjun's face flashed with complexity when he heard this name.

Wang Zhonglei, who was standing by, had been listening silently. When the supervisor mentioned Nie Wei's name, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Is Nie Wei's contract still being discussed?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone on the scene was shocked, and the supervisor, whose expression was slightly relieved, became nervous again in an instant.

"No... no, since Nie Wei bought the company's shares, the contract negotiations have been stranded." The supervisor said in a trembling voice.

When he said these words, the expressions of everyone present became solemn.

Now, with Wang Jinghua's sudden move, Huayi's reputation has been almost eliminated. Counting from top to bottom in the company, everyone suddenly discovered that Nie Wei was the only one left who could be the pillar.

Because now the only top artist recognized by the company in the industry is Nie Wei.

But at this time, everyone remembered that although Nie Wei was a shareholder of the company, his brokerage contract had not been negotiated. Calculating the time, it was estimated that Nie Wei would be completely free in a few days.

"How much are the liquidated damages in Nie Wei's contract, and what about Chen Daoming? Has anyone figured it out?" The conference room fell into silence again, and after a long while, Wang Zhongjun asked.

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei sighed, his expression obviously bad.

"In terms of contracts, we lacked experience. At first, we only focused on the length of time issue. As for the termination fee, it was set to be three times the signing bonus. However, the signing bonus we gave was not much at the beginning. The most we gave was Chen Daoming, who only gave 300,000. Now, Even if we file a lawsuit, we can get back at most 900,000..."

Wang Zhonglei didn't say anything below, but everyone at the scene understood what it meant.

Chen Daoming is now worth at least tens of millions, and his status in the entertainment industry cannot be bought with more money. Therefore, even if he gets the termination fee from the lawsuit, it will undoubtedly be far from enough compared to what he has lost.

"Who drew up the contract in the first place?" Wang Zhongjun glanced at everyone below with a gloomy expression and asked coldly.

"It's me." A middle-aged man in a suit stood up. He didn't ask Wang Zhongjun any questions. He just glanced at Wang Zhongjun lightly and said directly: "I will write the resignation letter immediately and give it to you tomorrow. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and left the conference room, ignoring the increasingly gloomy expression on Wang Zhongjun's face.

As a well-known magistrate in Beijing, he not only serves as a legal consultant for Wang Zhongjun's company. Although this matter will affect his reputation a little, the original contract did not find any legal problems, so Wang Zhongjun continued to be angry. It's impossible to cause trouble for him.

What's more, another employee has already given him a more generous salary and asked him to be a legal consultant. His heart is no longer in Huayi Company.

The sudden resignation of the company's legal counsel made Wang Zhongjun furious, especially the other party's attitude. Looking at him was like looking at a grasshopper after autumn, as if he was going to be doomed this time. This was even more... Wang Zhongjun was very angry.

But no matter how angry he was, he still showed no emotion on the surface. Except that his expression was a little gloomier, it was no different from before.

"Let him go, he is not in his heart, Huayi doesn't need this kind of person." When he said these words, Wang Zhongjun's eyes were like knives across the faces of everyone present, and everyone's expressions were very interesting. I also remembered it in my heart, some were solemn, some were anxious, some were calm, and naturally there were also many who felt guilty.

A meeting ended without any resolution. The key was that the deal was done. Now all Wang Zhongjun could do was to make amends. In addition to continuing to make phone calls to these artists and managers, Wang Zhongjun also called Wang Zhonglei into the office.

The moment Wang Zhonglei closed the door, Wang Zhongjun immediately asked Wang Zhonglei: "What's going on with Nie Wei's contract?"

When he said this, Wang Zhongjun had a rare expression of anxiety.

"The contract with Nie Wei was not going well at first, so I thought of another way." Wang Zhonglei replied, but was interrupted by Wang Zhongjun before he finished speaking: "Your way is to tie up Nie Wei with shares." only?"

Seeing Wang Zhongjun's disappointed face, Wang Zhonglei lowered his head.

But having said that, Wang Zhonglei felt that what he did was not wrong at first. Shares are indeed the best way to connect artists and the company. The best example is the company's director Feng Xiaogang. He holds a large number of shares in the company, so No matter what happens to the company, he will always stand by the company.

Nowadays, Huayi has no wall to defeat and everyone is pushing it. I have to say that Feng Xiaogang's sea-fixing needle definitely played a big role.

"Your method is not wrong." While Wang Zhonglei was waiting for his elder brother to reprimand him, Wang Zhongjun suddenly spoke. This sentence made Wang Zhonglei confused.

I did nothing wrong, so why did the elder brother look disappointed just now?

Seeing the confused look on his brother's face, Wang Zhongjun said with hatred: "Your method is right, but it is too petty. You want to tie up a person with only nine shares. Are you thinking too simply?" Well, if you give Nie Wei 10% of the company's shares, or even more, do you think he will express his position directly now? "

Wang Zhonglei was completely stunned at this moment. Wang Zhongjun's words were like a thunderbolt in his mind, making him stunned.

However, when he gradually calmed down and thought about Wang Zhongjun's words seriously, he found that they were not unreasonable.

It's easy to say, but Wang Zhonglei is still unwilling to give up so many shares at once, so this is why Wang Zhongjun feels that Wang Zhonglei has always been a bit petty.

In Wang Zhongjun's view, if the company collapses, the shares will become worthless. Even if you hold all the shares, they will be useless paper. But if you give up part of the shares, you can gain another A strong ally, then it is worth giving up this share.

Maybe even giving up this part of the shares will make the shares in your hand more valuable.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the other party will not threaten its control of the company.

"What should we do now?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

"Call Nie Wei and ask him to come to the company. I will talk to him personally." Wang Zhongjun knew very well that it was not enough for the company to have only one Feng Xiaogang. Nie Wei had to sign him. This would not only stabilize the company's internal mood, but also externally. Let the public have a change, at least it will not make the public think that Huayi will never recover after this blow. They are also capable of signing the current extremely popular first-line stars.

"Okay, I'll fight right away."

When Nie Wei received the call, he was having dinner with his family at home. At the dinner table, he suddenly proposed the idea of ​​moving out, and the whole family started a discussion about it.

First of all, what is surprising is that the person who opposes the most fiercely is not Nie Wei's mother Su Qing, but his younger sister Duoduo.

Ever since Nie Wei proposed the idea of ​​going out to live, the little girl hugged Nie Wei's arm and cried loudly. It took everyone a while to persuade the girl to stop.

"Why do you suddenly want to live out again?" Zhou Aiguo asked.

"Uncle, I'm twenty-one, and I'm already twenty-one. Besides, I have my own career now, and it's not convenient to be at home all the time." The reasons Nie Wei said are also true, especially the recent news about iFlytek After going public, the influx of a lot of external capital made the company's affairs a lot busier.

Although Nie Wei only cares about his own game department, due to the development of new games, Nie Wei has a heavy workload recently. Many times, he even holds video conferences until midnight, and his mother Su Qing has to wait until she returns. She went to sleep only after Nie Wei lay down, which made Nie Wei feel that her life had disturbed her mother.

Of course, there is another reason. Nie Wei has recently become more and more aware of the importance of personal privacy, for example... so moving out will undoubtedly be a lot more convenient.

"Okay, but I'll arrange the place." Zhou Aiguo said, and then looked at Su Qing aside: "My company has a real estate near home, and we can move in in half a month. By then, I will be very nervous. One set, the place is not far from home, just three stops away, it only takes more than ten minutes to drive.”

Nie Wei looked at Zhou Aiguo speechlessly. With such a short distance, what if my mother always comes to check on her?

But Su Qing didn't know what Nie Wei was thinking. She fully agreed with Zhou Aiguo's proposal to get the best of both worlds.

Just as Su Qing was talking about when she and Zhou Aiguo would go look at the house, Nie Wei's cell phone suddenly rang. When he took it out, he saw that it was Wang Zhonglei calling.
