Chapter 140 Representative Lin

Chapter 140 Representative Lin

At the end of August, the airport.

Lin Xuan, Xia Fan, and Sun Yaohuo sent Lin Yuan away together. This time, Sun Yaohuo did not wear a mask or sunglasses. He had changed from not wanting to be recognized to eagerly wanting to be recognized by passers-by.

"Is it a star?"

"It seems to be true!"

"What does it seem to be called?"

Suddenly there was a murmur in the distance.

Sun Yaohuo straightened his chest, smiled and turned his head to look at the crowd, but his smile froze in the next moment, because he saw several people rushing towards Xia Fan, some of them took pictures with their mobile phones, and some took out their notebooks to beg for help. sign……

"Xia Fan!"

"Xia Fan!"

The fun is theirs.

At this time, not long after Lin Yuan boarded the plane and left, Sun Yaohuo was already at the huge airport, feeling a wave of loneliness ahead of time, but he was pushed to the periphery numbly by the crowd.

"..."

Lin Yuan is not very used to the feeling of flying. It's not that he is afraid of heights. It's just that as the plane gets higher and higher, his eardrums feel uncomfortable. He can only sleep as much as possible. After all, the journey is seven hours long.

The air ticket is set by my sister.

She bought business class directly.

It was too late when Lin Yuan found out, so he could only feel distressed silently. After all, the price difference between business class and economy class was not small, and the difference between the difference did not know how many egg yolks Lin Yuan could eat.

At this time, the villa is about to be handed over.

Lin Yuan also paid for the renovation costs.

Just let my sister take care of the details.

And after experiencing this part of the consumption, Lin Yuan has no money left in his pocket. Fortunately, September is coming, and in a few days, new manuscript fees and song sharing will arrive in the account, so Lin Yuan is not worried. Worry……

Seven hours later.

Lin Yuan arrived in Qizhou.

It was still bright here in Qizhou. Lin Yuan slept through half the trip, so that his head was dizzy when he got off the plane. He went to the check-in office to pick up his luggage, and washed his face in the bathroom. A little sober.

Qizhou, Yicheng.

This is the city where Lin Yuan arrived. As one of the most developed cities in Qizhou, there is a time difference of about four hours between this place and Suzhou City in Qinzhou. It should not be difficult for Lin Yuan to adjust.

He took out his cell phone and made a call.

This is the number that Lao Zhou left for Lin Yuan. He said that he can contact him after he arrives in Qizhou, and someone will pick him up to go to the branch office, and let the people in the branch office arrange it in advance, including the residence.

The phone connects.

It was a girl's voice on the phone: "Excuse me, you are Teacher Xianyu, I am waiting for you at the waiting gate on the first floor, the car is now parked in the parking lot below, you can see me when you come out, I am wearing red coat……"

"I saw you."

Lin Yuan looked at the girl in the distance.

Seeing Lin Yuan's face, the other party was obviously stunned for a moment, then she put down her phone and walked over, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "I'm Gu Dong, an employee of Xingmang Branch, are you Teacher Xianyu?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

Gu Dong was a little surprised that the representative sent by the headquarters was so young, which was beyond Gu Dong's expectation. However, Gu Dong had investigated some information about Xianyu before and knew that the other party was a very powerful person in Qinzhou. Therefore, he dare not neglect Lin Yuan just because he is young: "Then let's go to the company first?"

"good."

Xianyu doesn't talk much.

The personality is relatively high and cold.

Gu Dong made a preliminary judgment in his mind, and took the initiative to lift Lin Yuan's suitcase: "You should be tired after taking the flight all the way. Leave the luggage to me. The parking lot is just below. Just follow me."

Lin Yuan did not refuse.

After the car drove out of the airport, Gu Dong introduced the situation to Lin Yuan: "From now on, I will be your secretary in the branch office. If you need anything, you can tell me. Also, I have a personal question. May I ask that your real name is Xianyu?" ?"

"My name is Lin Yuan."

Gu Dong nodded, and Xianyu was indeed a name similar to his stage name: "Then I will call you Representative Lin from now on, or you can call someone Teacher Xianyu if you like, and I will communicate with the company."

"casual."

Lin Yuan spoke concisely.

Gu Dong laughed dryly, didn't speak any more, and concentrated on driving, while Lin Yuan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his sister. Apart from the time difference, there were not many obstacles to the communication between the two parties.

Send message.

Lin Yuan downloaded several popular music listening software in Qizhou, and two of them are also very popular in Qinzhou. It can be seen that there are still many similarities between the two sides. This made Lin Yuan feel a little bit less in the mood of leaving his hometown. .

Put on your headphones.

Lin Yuan listened to the song.

What he listens to is Qizhou's popular music, the style is indeed different from Qinzhou, and the overall quality is indeed not as good as Qinzhou. In this regard, Qinzhou has lived up to its reputation as the hometown of music, and Qi language is indeed more popular here. , Of the popular Qizhou songs played by Lin Yuan randomly, more than 70% of the works are sung in Qi language, and the remaining 30% are sung in Mandarin.

I don't know how long I have been listening.

The two arrived at the branch office.

Lin Yuan and Gu Dong got out of the car together, and came to a company. The four characters "Starlight Music" were hung on the wall of this company, but in terms of scale, it couldn't be compared with the headquarters 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."

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."

"Thanks."

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 has not yet fallen.

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 is not closed.

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 holds 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 awkward for a few seconds before Gu Qiangyun coughed and said, "Our company hasn't received a new order for two months, and that was the only one we had just now."

"Too little."

"Our small company."

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?

"knew."

Lin Yuan didn't frown as Gu Qiangyun imagined, he only cared about the price of the order: "How much will Party A pay for this order?"

"Eight hundred thousand."

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 five 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 like one million, only a large entertainment company can receive such a 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 the local area to cooperate."

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.”

"etc."

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.

"In fact."

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 order to have a look."

"ah?"

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 to complete an order?

"Not available?"

Lin Yuan looked up at the two of them.

Gu Dong hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I'll bring over the list right now. This list was originally in charge of by a special person from the composition department, but because it has not been completed, it has entered the public pool, and everyone can take it. Take a look. Is it suitable for me?"

"Um."

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.

Because it is a 5,000-word chapter, I planned the plot by the way, so the update is relatively late.

keep writing.
