Chapter 1168 1268. Alliance of Interests
It is natural for Boss Du to have ideas.
Just three days ago, Boss Du received the monthly financial report from HELLOGIRLS, and the eight-digit amount in the income column blinded her eyes.
This is just a financial report for one month, and the income exceeded 10 million, which is almost equal to the annual income of Xuanyi and her original group.
But Boss Du gritted his teeth again, because with so much money, their company can only get 4% of it, and this is because two members of their company were selected, otherwise the general agency would only get 2%.
Thinking that more than half of the 10 million went into the pocket of the Fanxing Group, Boss Du felt like she was robbed.
In her opinion, among the eleven members of the HELLOGIRLS team, the two girls in her family are definitely the top in terms of money. Maybe they can't compare with Zhou Duoduo who is protected by Nie Wei, but they can definitely be ranked second or third.
But now most of the money earned by the artists in their family has gone into the pockets of Fanxing. Isn't this robbery?
Thinking of this, Boss Du couldn't help but think again. If he could bring the two girls back to the company to lead the old group, the income would not be as exaggerated as HELLO GIRLS, but at least it would be no problem to double the income of the old group. The key is to save those members who are not so popular and give them a hand.
So it is imperative for the two groups to run in parallel. Even if the contract has been signed, Boss Du is ready to play rogue in the face of huge interests.
So in the past two days, Boss Du turned into a modern "Su Qin" and formed a temporary alliance with the brokerage companies that wanted the two groups to run in parallel. The purpose is to force Fanxing to make concessions and allow the two groups to run in parallel.
"Our first step is to hold our own artists in our hands!" At the oath-taking meeting, Boss Du waved his arms and said loudly.
Her method of playing rogue is very direct, that is, to trick her own artists out and take them away directly.
What if Fanxing can't find the artists at that time?
Beg me!
At this time, Boss Du can sit at the negotiation table and have a good chat with the representatives of Fanxing about the two groups running in parallel.
This rogue method is very unskillful, but after listening to it, several bosses present did not wait to admit that it is very feasible.
Taking the artist away is obviously a very immoral act, but it is like hitting a snake at its weak spot, directly hitting Fanxing's soft spot. No matter how capable Fanxing is, he will not surrender without the artist.
Of course, Fanxing can also sue several companies, but the process will be long. The case of contract disputes can take at least three months and at most six months. If one party wants to delay, it may take longer.
If this lawsuit takes half a year, even if Fanxing finally gets back the ownership of the artist, this temporary group will basically be cold.
No fan will like this kind of group whose members are never complete and may disband at any time. In the jargon of the fan circle, this kind of group has no team spirit.
Thinking about it this way, the bosses present all felt that after this method was used, Fanxing would have a greater chance of compromising.
Of course, everyone would definitely be retaliated by Fanxing afterwards, but that didn't matter. The artists under several companies combined might not make as much as those girls, and Fanxing would definitely not do anything to these girl idols, so what was there to be afraid of?
As for the life and death of other artists? Artists who couldn't make money could be abandoned at any time in the eyes of these bosses.
At the end of the meeting, everyone decided to act as soon as possible to avoid more trouble, and the harm would come if the plan was not kept secret. This matter was only known to the bosses who attended the meeting, and it was best not to tell anyone before the action was successful.
This was also the reason why Fanxing didn't receive any news. When the bosses involved their own major interests, they were still very tight-lipped. Moreover, because the time interval was very short, Boss Du had just finished the meeting the day before, and she called Xuanyi the next night to prepare to start her own action plan.
It was the call Xuanyi received before.
About twenty minutes later, a white Porsche Cayenne parked in front of the cafe. Xuanyi and Meiqi walked out together after seeing the car. They had ridden in Boss Du's car before, so they naturally recognized it.
What surprised them was that Boss Du actually sat in the driver's seat, without even a driver.
Xuanyi and Meiqi exchanged glances and felt that this matter was getting weirder.
"Meiqi, Xuanyi, come up quickly, I'll take you to a big meal." Boss Du greeted Xuanyi and Meiqi very enthusiastically. The two girls were not used to it. You know, in the past, Boss Du only had such an attitude towards the one in their group, and the two of them had never enjoyed it.
Of course, since they participated in the show and became popular, Boss Du's attitude has also changed, but it was the first time that he was so enthusiastic like today, which made Meiqi and Xuanyi feel very uncomfortable, that is, it felt very fake.
Boss Du didn't know what the two little girls thought in their hearts, but she felt that her smile was a bit fake, but there was no way, to deceive the little girls, you have to give them candy first.
Although Boss Du is very confident in her methods and does not believe that her artists dare to disobey her, the more cooperative the artists are, the more beneficial it will be for her next actions. At least she cannot let the two girls leave the group temporarily with resentment, so she specially prepared this big meal in order to reason with them during the meal and make them cooperate willingly.
But how could Boss Du know that when she saw her own family at this moment, her heart had already drifted to the stars.
When Boss Du treats guests, he must have enough face. Counting Meiqi and Xuan Yi, there are only three people in total, but they ordered a total of twenty dishes and even opened a bottle of red wine worth tens of thousands.
Boss Du also personally poured red wine for Xuan Yi and Meiqi, which made the two girls feel quite flattered. However, the more this happened, the more wary Xuan Yi and Meiqi became. They always felt that Boss Du was a weasel giving New Year greetings to the chickens, and they were not safe. What kind intentions.
Sure enough, during the meal, Boss Du spoke.
"Meiqi, Xuanyi, how have you been in the group recently? You must be a lot unaccustomed to the new company." Boss Du asked the two girls with a smile.
Meiqi and Xuan Yi shook their heads at the same time, and it was Xuan Yi who said, "No, Sister Du, the group members and staff take good care of us, and the living environment is also very good."
This is a very standard answer, but Boss Du is very dissatisfied. What she hopes most is to hear Xuan Yi and Meiqi complain about the bad things of Fanxing, so that she can use this as an excuse to bring the two girls back to her company.
"No matter how well they take care of you, it's better to be comfortable in your own company." Boss Du said to himself, and without waiting for Xuan Yi and Meiqi to answer anything, he decided directly: "How about you guys go with me tonight? I’ll go back to the company, we’re in the same city anyway, so it’s not far away.”
When Meiqi and Xuan Yi heard this, they felt a little panicked. They couldn't guess what the bold boss Du was thinking one day, and instinctively felt that it was a bit strange to be taken away at this time.
"No, Sister Du, Xuan Yi and I have a magazine shoot tomorrow morning." After regaining consciousness, Meiqi subconsciously refused, and Xuan Yi nodded quickly.
"As for the magazine shoot, it doesn't matter if it is postponed for a day and a half. You and I will take this opportunity to go back to the company and meet your old teammates. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I also miss you Xiao Cheng. I miss you every day. I miss you so much, it’s just a good time for you to have a good chat.”
"Ah, you are worried about Fanxing. Don't worry, I'll go and ask for leave for you." Boss Du said with a smile, looking at Meiqi and Xuanyi dotingly like a grown-up parent.
But for some reason, when she looked at the two girls, they were like Little Red Riding Hood being targeted by the big bad wolf, and they felt creepy.
Both girls are not stupid. Judging from Boss Du's actions, it is obvious that they have unusual thoughts. Today's late-night snack must have a purpose. Although it is not clear what the purpose is, it is definitely not a good thing.
The two girls became wary.
"Sister Du, I want to go to the bathroom." Xuan Yi rolled her eyes and said suddenly.
"Go ahead, why are you asking for instructions on this matter?" Sister Du smiled and waved her hand, not caring, but in fact she was very satisfied. She liked the attitude of her employees and artists asking her for instructions no matter how big or small the matter was. This gave her the satisfaction of being in control.
After Xuan Yi hid in the bathroom stall, she immediately took out her mobile phone and called Mei Sa.
"Sister Meisha, I feel like Boss Du wants to take me and Meiqi away. Now I'm making excuses to go to the toilet before I can call you. Why don't you call me or Meiqi later and find an excuse to pick us up?" Let's go." As soon as the call was connected, Xuan Yi took the time to say.
"I understand. We are at the entrance of your hotel now. You go back to eat first and delay it as long as possible. Do you remember to turn on the recording?"
"It's open." Xuan Yi replied.
"That's fine. If you feel like you can't hold on any longer, call me right away. If you get through, you can hang up. I'll call you right away." Misa didn't act rashly. She suddenly felt that this was also an opportunity, and she could perfect it once. Opportunity to resolve Xuan Yi and Meiqi's contract.
There must be a reason why Boss Du wants to take Xuan Yi and Meiqi away so eagerly. He may be harboring some bad ideas.
If Xuan Yi can record everything that boss Du said, she might be able to find something useful that can be used as a key trump card to terminate the contract in the future.
As soon as Xuan Yi opened the box door, she heard Meiqi's voice.
"Sister Du, why don't we forget it tonight? The magazine we are going to shoot for tomorrow morning is "Beauty", and it is also the monthly cover star. And because of the relationship between the two of us, the whole team has to wait for a long time. I am really embarrassed. ah."
Xuan Yi walked into the box calmly, greeted Sister Du with a smile, then sat down next to Meiqi, and gently tapped Meiqi's legs under the table with her fingers. The latter immediately understood and knew that Xuan Yi Yi had already called Meisa, and she was relieved.
Just when Xuan Yi went to the bathroom, Boss Du asked Meiqi to go back to the company with her after dinner. How could Meiqi agree, but she didn't dare to refuse openly, so she had to continue to shirk it.
Boss Du didn't doubt it. After all, "Beauty" magazine is indeed very powerful. It is a domestic first-line women's fashion magazine, and its covers have always used domestic first-line stars. For example, this year's annual cover of "Beauty" is Zhou Xun.
When encountering a magazine like this, little idols like Xuan Yi and Meiqi naturally don't want to miss it.
Boss Du is even deeply envious of Fanxing in his heart. He can even find such resources for HELLOIRLS. It is indeed a big company. Although Y Entertainment has a good scale in the industry, it is far behind compared with Fanxing. Especially The resources are simply out of reach.
Envy aside, the opportunity was rare, but for the sake of profit, Boss Du didn't care about the girl's thoughts and was ready to show his hand directly.
"Xuanyi is back, so I'll tell you the truth. I plan to continue to implement the original plan of 'two groups in parallel'." Boss Du said it directly without hesitation.
This scared Meiqi and Xuanyi. Is Boss Du crazy? After all, the contract was signed in front of so many media and even tens of millions of live viewers. The number of people who witnessed the video was at least hundreds of millions. How could Boss Du dare to mention this matter again?
Soon the two knew who gave her the courage.
"I'll tell you the truth. The company needs you. It's imperative to run two groups in parallel, so I hope you can help me push this forward. Of course, I won't make it difficult for you. If you want to help me, it's very simple. Come back to the company with me. I'll arrange for you to go on vacation to Korea. No matter what the result is in a week, I will give you a satisfactory answer. How about it?"
"Sister Du, didn't we sign a contract at the beginning? It's illegal to do this." The two girls were a little dumbfounded. After a long time, Xuanyi carefully advised.
"I know this is not in line with the contract, but think about the company and your future development. Your roots are in our group after all. If our group continues to be so cold, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on until you come back to the company."
"And you can just treat this as a trip. I'll take care of the rest. And as long as you agree, we are willing to give you another 10% of the profits in the profit-sharing contract signed between the company and you, and we are willing to give you a lot of resources during the contract period. I have prepared the contract and put it in the car. You can take a look when you come back to the company with me. If you agree, you can sign it directly." Boss Du said with a smile.
She knew very well that there is no free lunch in the world. In order to make the two girls cooperate, she was also prepared to bleed heavily, and she also prepared a new profit-sharing contract for this purpose.
Although it was only a 10% increase, the original contract between the two girls and the company was 9:1. This increase directly doubled the girls' income. Boss Du felt that he was very generous.
But after she finished speaking, she didn't see what she expected. The two girls didn't feel moved at all. Instead, they frowned and looked worried.
Under the table, Xuanyi took out her mobile phone and quietly dialed Meisha's number.
Thanks to TaoDEtie, Fantasy Paradise and 0773 for their generous rewards.
