The two arrived at the branch office.

Lin Yuan and Gu Dong got out of the car together and came to the front of a company. The four characters "Starlight Music" were hung on the wall of this company, but the scale could not be compared with the headquarter at all. Well maintained and somewhat faded with rust.

"The company has three floors."

Gu Dong introduced: "Recording studios and other equipment are all on the first floor, the second floor is mostly working areas, and the third floor is mostly offices. You are a representative sent by the head office and are on the same level as the general manager, so we have The representative's office has been arranged for you."

Lin Yuan nodded.

The location of this company is a little bit off, and the advantage is that the surrounding environment is not bad, it seems relatively empty, the company size of the three-story building is definitely not comparable to that of the headquarters, but I heard that the development of the branch company is not good, Lin Yuan also understandable.

The company does not have elevators.

The two can only climb stairs.

Lin Yuan didn't feel disgusted, but followed Gu Dong to visit the company with great interest. When passing by the work area on the second floor, many employees looked curiously at Lin Yuan behind Gu Dong.

"Gu Dong brought someone back?"

"Is that person a representative from the headquarters?"

"Why do you feel so young?"

"It's probably because he was young and easy to bully, that's why he was sent to us. The head office of our dilapidated company didn't pay much attention to it. The manager begged for several months before the head office was willing to send someone over. Now the manager obviously regards others as a life-saving straw, but he has forgotten how a straw can save a person who falls into the water..."

"I suspect the man is still a student."

"Now I'm starting to worry that the company is really going to close down this year. The headquarters sent a young man over here. He's obviously playing tricks on us. It's not easy to find a job these days. Have you all found a new home?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I am a loyal minister of the company!"

"I said you are fat, but you are still out of breath. Before you came to our company, you had a glorious record of changing jobs five times. If it weren't for our company's lack of people, the personnel department would not have hired you at all."

"..."

Naturally, Lin Yuan didn't know about the discussions in the company. He had already entered his office under Gu Dong's leadership. The space in this office wasn't too big, but the view was good. Looking out from the window, it happened to be a large lawn , which reminded Lin Yuan of his position in the headquarters.

There is a sign on the table.

Headquarters representative: Xianyu

There is a black desk, and there are fresh green plants in the corner of the room. Obviously, someone has taken care of it beforehand: "I can have a meeting later, and I will introduce you to the company's employees. The manager wants to hold a welcome ceremony for you tonight. He attaches great importance to your arrival!"

Gu Dong spoke with a smile.

And behind Gu Dong's smile, there is actually bitterness: "Dad always hopes that the headquarters will send someone over in his dreams. He probably puts all the company's future hopes on this representative, but what is the situation of the branch company?" One person can easily solve it."

"no need."

Lin Yuan directly refused.

He doesn't like things like welcome ceremonies. At this moment, he has more concerns: "How do I arrange my residence, is it close to Qizhou Art Institute, and it will be convenient for me to go to school in the future?"

Gu Dong: "..."

Her mood became more and more bitter.

This representative was still a student, and he had already made it clear on the phone when someone from the headquarters sent over. Zhou Ruiming even called the manager himself to repeatedly emphasize: "Xianyu's main task in coming to Qizhou is to study. Qin Yi's status as an exchange student has passed away."

The implication is very clear.

Don't give Xianyu too much work.

Pulling himself together, Gu Dong forced a smile and said, "Your residence is a little far from the company, but it's very close to your school. This is a special order from the headquarters. We've already rented the house for you. The cost will be borne by our branch."

"Thank you."

Lin Yuan felt relieved.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door. The specific content was not clear. Lin Yuan's office could only hear the general idea: "If your company can't do it, you can go to the headquarters. The reason why I signed the contract with you is because of Xingmang. It is signed on the name of the headquarters, and you have also promised us..."

The sound gradually approached.

Lin Yuan heard a middle-aged man's apology: "We will prepare a few more songs to send to you, which will definitely satisfy you. Didn't we cooperate well before? We attach great importance to your company's list ..."

The voice hasn't fallen yet.

Several men in suits passed by Lin Yuan's office, and stopped immediately when they saw the sign at the door of the office: "When did your Qinzhou headquarters send a representative over, and you didn't tell us."

The door didn't close.

The leader saw Lin Yuan standing in front of the desk at a glance, and then looked at the sign on Lin Yuan's desk, and immediately raised his voice: "Are you the representative sent by the Xingmang headquarters, please contact the headquarters for us, we Your branch can't do the order, let your headquarters do it, we signed the contract in black and white back then!"

"Our representatives just arrived..."

The voice of apologizing just now sounded, and then a middle-aged fat man appeared at the door. He looked a little embarrassed, and after bowing to Lin Yuan, he sent the group of people out of the company, and the voice gradually faded away.

Lin Yuan asked, "Who is he?"

Gu Dong said helplessly: "He is the general manager of the branch, Gu Qiangyun, and also my father. The group of people just now are the biggest customers of our branch. They have cooperated several times before, but this time, we have a Party A has always been dissatisfied with the work, so they came to the door to urge, this is not the first time this has happened.”

"Oh."

Lin Yuan sat down.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't respond, Gu Dong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After thinking about it, she felt that she had taken it for granted. How could it be possible for the headquarters to send someone over to solve the branch's plight?

"correct."

The chair under him should be new, and it feels very comfortable to sit on. In terms of the working environment alone, Lin Yuan likes it here. After getting used to it, Lin Yuan said: "Please send me the address of my residence later. .”

"Waiting for get off work."

Gu Dong said: "I'll take you there."

Lin Yuan nodded, saving a taxi fare.

At this moment, Gu Qiangyun, the manager of the company, came back. He knocked on the door and showed an apologetic smile: "I am really sorry to encounter this situation when I first joined the company. I am Gu Qiangyun from the branch office. Hello!"

He stretched out his hand.

Lin Yuan shook hands with the other party politely, and then asked curiously: "I just arrived, so I don't know much about the situation yet. Are there many branches like the one just now?"

Gu Dong: "..."

Gu Qiangyun: "..."

The atmosphere was embarrassing for a few seconds before Gu Qiangyun coughed and said, "It's not too much, not too much. The music companies here will encounter more or less squeezed orders. At worst, we will pay some liquidated damages. gone."

"Not much is how much?"

"It's only four or five orders."

Gu Qiangyun was sweating. Although the representative sent by the headquarters looked young, he seemed a bit fierce. He was very dissatisfied with our work. What should he do if he wants to file a complaint with the headquarters?

"Four or five orders..."

Lin Yuan didn't frown as Gu Qiangyun imagined, he only cared about the price of these Party A's orders: "Like the group of Party A just now, how much do they pay for a custom song with the branch?"

"80."

Gu Qiangyun replied.

This time Lin Yuan really frowned. The price of this order was too low. When he received the order for "Fish and Dragon Dance" at the headquarters, the other party paid 500 million. Why is the price of Qizhou's internal order so low?

Fire pit!

This is the fire pit!

Gu Qiangyun carefully observed Lin Yuan's expression, and seeing that he was still frowning, he felt a little heavy: "You may be used to staying at the headquarters. Xingmang is a top entertainment company in Qinzhou, but Xingmang Entertainment is in Qinzhou. Qizhou is actually a small music company, because the order rate is not very good, the highest price we have received for an order is 100 million, and only large entertainment companies can receive that kind of multi-million dollar order. Big order..."

"Success rate?"

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Gu Qiangyun was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Lin Yuan didn't know much about the situation here, he lifted his spirits and introduced: "Because there are a lot of film and television dramas here in Qizhou every year, and of course there are some game projects, so their The demand for music is also very large, top-level productions are generally customized from Qinzhou, but some small projects cannot afford Qinzhou's price, so we will find some small music companies in Qinzhou to cooperate with."

Lin Yuan was thoughtful.

Gu Dong next to him added: "However, the strength of our small music companies is limited, so if Party A is still dissatisfied with the songs we put out, our list will be dropped, and then the two parties will proceed according to the contract signed at the beginning. Negotiations are sometimes directly voided, and sometimes we have to pay liquidated damages.”

"and many more."

Lin Yuan found a loophole: "What if Party A cheats for liquidated damages on the grounds that the song does not meet the standard? After all, whether the quality of a song is good or not is a very subjective thing."

"do not worry."

Gu Qiangyun smiled and said: "This kind of thing is impossible to happen, because most of the orders are directly voided, and only when facing Party A with a good reputation in Qizhou, we will add a breach of contract to the contract. Options, the amount is generally not too large, so that Party A will not risk our reputation to deceive us, and there is also a special audit association in Qizhou. When the two sides disagree with the result, they will enter relevant channels for judgment. The audit association is still very To be fair, if you are not convinced by the review association's results, you can release the song and accept the public's judgment."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Although there are still some subjective factors, it is enough to achieve this level. One hundred people listen to one song, and ninety people think that this song is not good, even if it is a subjective opinion, it is relatively objective. The vast majority of companies really pay attention to their reputation. If the company's reputation is damaged, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the circle.

"Actually."

Gu Dong further dispelled Lin Yuan's doubts: "Basically, there has been no dissatisfaction with the results of the Music Review Association. The members of the Music Review Association are all respected seniors in the music industry, and they all have professional establishments in Qizhou. This is their Work."

"understood."

Lin Yuan nodded: "So if we can increase the order completion rate, Party A's bid will become higher and higher in the future, and there may even be a situation where an order is several million?"

"Yes."

Gu Qiangyun would like to remind Lin Yuan that there are not many companies in Qizhou that can receive orders worth millions. If they are willing to spend millions to customize a song, why not go to a music town like Qinzhou? , but seeing that Lin Yuan's eyes became a bit fierce, he closed his mouth obediently.

It is good to have dreams.

Lin Yuan's mood improved, and it wasn't as bad as he imagined. He said, "Then let's increase the company's order completion rate first, and please send me the squeezed orders."

"what?"

Gu Qiangyun and Gu Dong looked at each other in blank dismay, how can you make it so easy, first increase the company's order completion rate, do you know that it takes several months before and after an order?

"Not available?"

Lin Yuan looked up at the two of them.

Gu Dong hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I'll bring all the lists over here. These lists are all in charge of the composition department, but because they haven't been completed yet, they have already entered the public pool, and everyone can take them. You can also accept them." You can see if there is a list that suits you."

"Ah."

Lin Yuan has already made preparations. Although the company's order price is not high at the moment, according to Qi Zhou, as long as the order completion rate increases, Party A's bid will also increase in the future.

He is ready.

1 Chapter Forty

5 minute later.

Gu Qiangyun said goodbye.

Gu Dong entered Lin Yuan's office with the order.

She introduced: "This is an episode order for a martial arts game. The biggest feature of our Qizhou is that the film and television drama industry is particularly developed, but in addition to film and television dramas, Qizhou's game industry is also No. [-] in Blue Star. Representative Lin plays games. ?"

Lin Yuan said, "Occasionally."

He played games with Xia Fan and Jian Jian before.

Lin Yuan felt that the greatest joy of playing games was to play black games. He didn't have much fun playing games by himself, so as everyone got busy, he basically didn't touch games.

"That's it."

Gu Dong is already used to Lin Yuan's speaking style.

It's normal for people from the headquarters to be cold and arrogant, after all, the size gap between the branch and the headquarters is heaven and earth.

Moreover, Representative Lin was probably a little dissatisfied that he was actually sent to Qizhou to clean up the mess of the branch.

Heart to heart.

She can understand.

After Lin Yuan took Gu Dong's order, he didn't intend to open it.

He got up and said, "Let's do this for today. Please drive me back to my residence first. By the way, I will go to Qizhou Art Institute for a while. I want to get familiar with the environment."

"OK……"

Didn't even look at it?

Gu Dong became more and more disappointed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it: "Representative Lin's luggage is still in my car, we can go straight away."

"Ah."

Lin Yuan went downstairs.
