Cooperation Agreed (,)
The next morning, Lin Mufeng brought the proposal that Jiang Shuying had written after leaving the day before to Penguin. He found his classmate, Xiao Zhendong, who was the vice president of Penguin Video.
"Lin Zi, you're a rare guest!" When Xiao Zhendong saw Lin Mufeng, he immediately gave him a warm hug.
"I'm just afraid that I'll disturb President Xiao's work! You're amazing now!" Lin Mufeng teased.
"Get lost!" Xiao Zhendong punched Lin Mufeng's chest and handed him a Nine Five Supreme.
"Aiyo, as expected of President Xiao. This cigarette is of high grade!”Lin Mufeng smiled and lit his cigarette.
"F * ck, are you here to insult me?”Xiao Zhendong was speechless.
"Haha! That's right, as expected of President Xiao. He's smart!”Lin Mufeng smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Your grandpa!" Xiao Zhendong scolded him with a smile before he got down to business.
"CEO Li and I have already reported the matter that you told me about yesterday. He is very interested in this variety show that you mentioned. Tell me your specific thoughts!”
"It's actually very simple. Penguin will take the lead and let all of China's entertainment companies take out all of their capable trainees or artistes who have debuted but have not achieved any results for a talent show. In the end, 101 people will be selected as candidates to create 101. In the end, we will choose 11 from these 101 trainees and form a new 101 girl group. This is the proposal I made last night. You can take a look!”
Lin Mufeng took out a proposal from his bag and handed it to Xiao Zhendong.
"I say, Lin Zi, you're making a big scene! Choosing 101 of the most capable trainees from all the entertainment companies in China is the heart of all the major companies. In the end, you have to buy out the contracts of the 11 most outstanding trainees. Not only are you asking all the entertainment companies to work for you, but you're also not letting go of Penguin!”
Looking at the proposal in his hand, Xiao Zhendong was instantly shocked. At this moment, he finally understood why Lin Mufeng was nicknamed Crazy.
"Why do these companies train trainees? Wasn't it just to let them debut? Although only eleven trainees were selected for Creation 101, the other trainees had also gained exposure! After the show ended, these companies would go through simple packaging and allow these people to debut directly!”
"I'm helping them nurture their artistes. It's not too much to ask for the contracts of their eleven trainees, right? Besides, it's not like I don't want to pay."
Xiao Zhendong rolled his eyes. How much can the contracts of a few trainees be worth? You really have the nerve to say that.
At this moment, Xiao Zhendong finally understood what Lin Mufeng was thinking. This guy clearly had his eyes on the golden signboard of Penguin and was preparing to borrow the chicken to lay eggs!
If it was another company taking the lead, these entertainment companies might not give face, but Penguin was different. Among these entertainment companies in the industry, how many dared to offend a giant like Penguin?
"You got the 11 best artists, and the other companies got the benefits they deserved. What about us, Penguin? We have to fork out money and help you out, but it seems that we can't get anything other than advertising sponsorship, right?”Since they were talking about business, Xiao Zhendong, as the vice president of Penguin Video, naturally had to plan for his own interests.
"President Xiao, you're too much! Do you really think I'm a noob in the business world? What about VIP services? Don't tell me that you'll let people watch Create 101 for free! Isn't this a benefit?" Lin Mufeng rolled his eyes.
"Ahem, this, of course, won't be free, but compared to the effort of Penguin, it's not quite proportional!”Xiao Zhendong felt a little awkward after being exposed by Lin Mufeng.
"Alright, don't beat around the bush with me. Tell me! What else do you penguins want?" Lin Mufeng casually extinguished the cigarette butt. He did not want to continue arguing with Xiao Zhendong.
"We need 80% of the shares in your new company!”Xiao Zhendong said.
"Sorry to disturb you. Goodbye!”80% of the shares, why don't you go and snatch it?
"Hey, don't! Lin Zi, I was wondering why you were still so hot-tempered. We were just discussing!”Xiao Zhendong quickly pulled Lin Mufeng back.
Lin Mufeng rolled his eyes. Your heart is too black! So I've been working so hard and finally got 20% of the shares! Then why would I build a company!"
"I was joking just now! Look at how anxious you are!" Xiao Zhendong laughed awkwardly and said,"How about this? Lin Zi, I won't play games with you anymore! The new company Penguin has to have shares. I'll give you a bottom line! I can give you the controlling shares of the company. Penguin only needs to own 49% of the shares. What do you think?”
Actually, the reason why Xiao Zhendong requested to own shares in the new company was not because he valued the girl group, but because he valued Lin Mufeng as a person.
After knowing Lin Mufeng for so many years, others might not understand him, but how could Xiao Zhendong not?
Even though Lin Mufeng was just an associate professor at Yanying Entertainment, Xiao Zhendong knew that Lin Mufeng was not only good at acting.
Writing scripts, writing lyrics, composing music. He was proficient in almost everything.
When he was studying in America, Xiao Zhendong had seen Lin Mufeng sell a movie script to James Cameron, a Hollywood director, and two English songs to Taylor Swift, a country music diva.
The quality of Lin Mufeng's scripts and songs must have been very high to be able to catch their eyes.
And that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Xiao Zhendong knew that Lin Mufeng had at least a dozen such scripts. As for the songs, there were even more.
As long as Lin Mufeng was around, Xiao Zhendong believed that in a few years, this new company would definitely become a new upstart in the industry.
Lin Mufeng shook his head."Impossible, 20%. I can only take out 20% of the shares."”
"20% is too little. At least 40%!”Xiao Zhendong bargained.
"Looks like I can only find someone else to work with. Penguin isn't the only one in China who can do it. Although it's not as good as Penguin, it's not much worse.”After saying that, Lin Mufeng pretended to leave.
"Don't, don't, don't. Lin Zi, don't be in a hurry to leave! How about this! 30% is my bottom line!”
Lin Mufeng hesitated for a moment before saying,""30% is fine, but I need 15% of the advertising revenue!”
"Alright, deal!" It was just 15% of the advertising revenue. Xiao Zhendong agreed very readily.
" Phew." Seeing that the deal was finally settled, Xiao Zhendong instantly heaved a sigh of relief. It was really tiring to talk about cooperation with Lin Mufeng. F * ck, he always took it away to blackmail people.
