My 1999

Two days later in the evening, the two drove to Kaipodong, Gangnam District.

"Is this it?"

Li Xiuman asked.

After looking at the words "Meishan Tea House" on the plaque, Han Zhengying nodded.

"This is it."

The two parked the car and stepped inside.

A waiter came over.

"Do you two gentlemen have an appointment?"

Han Zhengying nodded, "Mr. Xu from Room No. 3 of Plum Blossom made an appointment with us."

The waiter flipped through the records and said, "You two, please come with me."

The interior of the tea house is full of antique decorations, the style is similar to that of China, and mixed with some local characteristics of South Korea.

It seemed very quiet while walking there.

Come to Plum Blossom Room No. 3.

"You two, this is it."

Han Zhengying knocked on the door.

A clear and young voice came over.

"Please come in."

Push the door open and go in.

A room of about ten square meters appeared in front of him.

There was a tea table in the center of the room, and sitting opposite the door was a young man wearing casual clothes and old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

The first time she saw him, Li Xiuman felt a rush of pressure.

He was very familiar with this feeling, often feeling it among the presidents and presidents of large companies.

But I didn't expect that a young man who looked young could have such a powerful momentum.

Next to the other party, there was also sitting a tall, muscular man with a crew cut, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, who was not angry or proud.

If the young man at the beginning had the aura formed by moving his Qi and nourishing his body, then the latter came entirely from the strong pressure brought by that powerful body.

It was Xu Liang and Huo Gang in the tea room.

Seeing the person coming, Xu Liang stood up and went to greet him.

Stretch out your right hand.

"Welcome, welcome, President Li, President Han, I have always heard their names mentioned by President Li Haizhen, and today I finally met them."

"President Xu is welcome."

"Please take a seat."

When the two parties sat down, Xu Liang placed two teacups in front of them and poured them tea.

"I ordered a pot of Dianhong. I hope you two like it."

After thanking him, Li Xiuman didn't hesitate, "President Xu, did you invite us here because of the lawsuit?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

"Appreciate further details."

"As for the lawsuit, I understand that you two are suing Hongmeng Music for infringement. We do have infringement, but the price of 50 million won is too high and we cannot agree."

"President Xu, your fault is obvious to all, and the court will definitely rule against you." Han Zhengying said seriously.

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Of course, we have no doubt about this. However, the court also has to follow procedures. From investigation and evidence collection to trial to judgment, it will take at least half a year. If there are many cases, it is normal to delay for a year.

If we appeal again, it will take even longer.

During this time, your company’s music has been on our website, making us money…. "

Han Zhengying interrupted: "We will pay additional compensation and let us give all the money you earn."

"It doesn't matter, I can give you the money, but we use your songs to enrich the music library of the website and attract more fans to become our users. The money we compensate you will be regarded as promotion fees."

Looking at Han Zhengying who looked dissatisfied, Xu Liang continued with a smile: "Don't sue us again, the court will not compensate you for your losses just because your songs have added users to us.

This part is not quantifiable. "

"Mr. Xu, disclosing pirated music company copyrights may affect your company's reputation.

Few fans are willing to pay for such a website. "Li Xiuman said seriously.

“President Li is right.

However, in the music community model adopted by Hongmeng Music Network, all users have the right to upload their own music works. We also strongly support users and maintain their copyrights.

However, out of respect for the fruits of others' labor, we will not remove songs at will unless we receive a complaint from the copyright owner.

However, because our company has very limited reviewers, it takes a long time to schedule the review, review it, and remove it from the shelves.

Therefore, we did not intentionally infringe on you. It is really a misunderstanding caused by limited funds and insufficient reviewers. I hope you can understand. "

Looking at this smiling face, Li Xiuman was filled with anger and wanted to go up and punch him hard.

But looking at the unkind look of the strong man with a Chinese character next to him, he had to suppress the anger in his heart.

"mean!"

"Shameless."

Xu Liang looked at the angry two people and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for your compliments. I will continue to work hard. However, anger cannot solve any problems.

If you two give up the compensation, we can start new cooperation, and then you will get more than the 50 million won compensation. "

Stopping the angry Li Xiuman, Han Zhengying asked: "I wonder how Chairman Xu wants to cooperate?"

"Our Hongmeng Music Network currently has 60 million users in China, South Korea, Japan, Greater China, and the entire Southeast Asia, and it is still growing at a rate of 11% every month.

If your company is willing to sign an exclusive cooperation agreement with us, we are willing to give 20% of the online share to SM Company.

You two, the price of a song in our company ranges from 400 won to 1,200 won.

The median is 800 won.

At that time, even if one-tenth of the users subscribe, your company will receive a 20% share of 960 million won.

And this is only now. When the number of users on Hongmeng Music Network increases, your share will be even higher. "

After a pause, Xu Liang emphasized his tone.

"One side is 960 million, and the other is 50 million. I think you two should be very clear about which is more important."

After finishing his words, Xu Liang took a sip from his tea cup and looked confidently at the two struggling people opposite him.

In fact, Hongmeng Music Network currently does not have 60 million users. Counting the newly opened Japanese market, the total number is just over 30 million, and most of them are users in mainland China.

Because the copyright laws and regulations in Mainland China are not perfect enough, the income from genuine downloads is very meager.

but.

Hongmeng is not a listed company and has no need to disclose its operating conditions.

Li Xiuman and Han Zhengying also had no way of understanding.

The opacity of information makes Xu Liang's words sound bluffing.

"President Xu, this matter is very important. We need to go back and discuss it before we can give you an answer."

"Of course, that's your right."

"Then let's take our leave first."

"Walk slowly."

——

Return to the luxury apartment in Cheongdam-dong.

After replying to the emails sent by the company today, Xu Liangcai turned off the computer.

Sun Mingzhen brought over a glass of water.

"Thanks."

"Do you think Lee Soo Man and Han Zhengying will agree to our conditions?"

"Of course. In just a few years, SM has been able to develop to where it is now. Obviously they are smart people.

Of course, smart people will not give up the opportunity to make money.

But there is a high probability that they will negotiate with us for a period of time on the share, and then you will be responsible.

Tell them our company's sharing standards. "

Sun Mingzhen nodded.

Since the development of Hongmeng Music Network, the sharing standards have changed several times.

At first it was a fixed share, but now it is a floating share.

Depending on the popularity and release time of each song, the share will be different, with the highest being 50-50.

However, to get the highest share, you must download it more than one million times. This standard is also the internationally accepted standard for a 'platinum album'.

In fact, more than 95% of songs cannot reach this number.

"By the way, my sister is coming over in a few days. I'm worried about her living outside alone, so I want her to stay at our house."

"Your sister? Why didn't I know you had a sister?"

"You never asked me who was in my family." There was a hint of resentment in Sun Mingzhen's tone.

"It was my mistake. Otherwise, it's almost New Year's Day. I'll go back with you to see your parents."

Sun Mingzhen's eyes widened in disbelief, "You...are you willing to meet my parents?"

"certainly."

He put his arms around her slender waist and hugged her soft body into his arms.

"You are my woman now, and they are also my father-in-law and mother-in-law. It's time to meet. What, you don't want to?"

Sun Mingzhen shook her head quickly, with excitement in her expression.

"No. I...I just didn't expect you to say that."

She originally thought that she was just a shady lover, but now Xu Liang's promise far exceeded her original expectations.

Seeing her like this, Xu Liang also had a smile on his face.

A woman with low expectations only needs a little satisfaction to gain her gratitude and love.

If children are added to strengthen it, Sun Mingzhen is not afraid of escaping from his control.

"By the way, you haven't told me about your family yet?"

Nodding, Sun Mingzhen organized her words.

"Besides my parents, I only have one younger sister. Her name is Yanzhen. She is 18 years old and is a sophomore in the film department of Seoul University of the Arts in Seoul."

"Is your sister still a movie actress?"

"She is still a student now and will definitely become an actor in the future. However, the entertainment industry is a mixed bag and I don't want her to take this path."

Sun Mingzhen frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with her sister's choice.

"Eighteen years old is considered an adult, so don't interfere too much in other people's decisions."

Sun Mingzhen nodded, but it seemed that she didn't listen.

This is also understandable.

If it were him, he would definitely interfere with Xu Meng's future choices.

"My father is a bus driver and my mother is a movie projectionist. When we were young, my sister and I never had to spend money to watch movies. Maybe it was because of this that Yan Zhen fell in love with acting."

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, do you have any preferences?"

“My dad drinks wine occasionally and likes fishing.

My mother doesn’t have any special hobbies, if family ethics dramas count, this is her hobby. "

Xu Liang nodded, "Come with me tomorrow to buy them some gifts."

"Um."

"It's getting late, it's time for us to rest."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the bedroom with Sun Mingzhen in his arms.

"Can we have a day off today?" Sun Mingzhen begged.

"no."

Are you kidding me? I was unsatisfied yesterday, why don’t I make up for it today?
