Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three

The production base of Shenzhen Lesheng Audio Co., Ltd. is located in Shenzhen Industrial Park, 9 kilometers away from the company's headquarters. Most of the employees are migrant girls from Sichuan, Anhui, and Henan.Due to the suspension of production due to the Metrics incident, the factory area was deserted, and only security guards could be seen patrolling. Lesheng Company's audio technology research institute is located on the top floor of the speaker production workshop. At this time, Lin Yufeng and Zhao Qing are in the anechoic room watching the audio technicians test a top-level boudoir speaker that is still under development.The so-called "boudoir speaker", as the name suggests, is a speaker specially designed for ladies' life taste and female aesthetics. The appearance design is small, exquisite, and luxurious.

A song "A Dream Lost on the Seine" was playing, and Zhao Qing's cell phone rang, which was undoubtedly a noise in the anechoic room at this time. He immediately went outside to answer the call, and the people in the anechoic room continued Test the speakers. At the end of the song, an engineer said: "The instrument test indicators are good, but the sense of hearing seems to lack a bit of buffering, and it still seems a bit straightforward and not subtle enough." Although Lin Yufeng was facing troubles such as suspension of production and lawsuits, he was born in the business world after all. He was used to the ups and downs in the business circle, and he couldn't find the feeling of great joy and great sorrow.Today he was in a good mood. After listening to the engineer's sound quality evaluation, he said: "The medium and high frequencies have no roots and cannot stand up. This is not like a speaker problem. It is not enough volume, and the wall is too thin. Thick, floating but not flabby."

Another young box designer asked: "Chairman, is my red wood-grain curved panel okay?" Lin Yufeng didn't answer whether it's okay, but smiled and said: "You have to master a rule in this appearance design, you have to highlight the uneducated culture and tasteless taste in things for women, which means to show and show that she has cultural taste. As for the things for men, you have to stand out from the vulgar, and you have to be chewy." The young technician said in admiration: "Chairman, you are an aesthetic philosophy." Lin Yufeng then said: "Putting up, be careful that I will give you small shoes to wear."

The technician said: "I know that women should stand out and be eye-catching." At this time, Zhao Qing, who had just finished answering the phone, walked in and said, "Chairman, there is something wrong." Lin Yufeng followed Zhao Qing out of the anechoic room, and stopped under the glass window of the corridor more than ten meters away. Zhao Qing said: "There are people from Metrics Company, one is the chairman Ouyang Xue, and the other is the general manager Ye Xiaoming. They are in the reception room now, and Secretary Fang is receiving them. They received the indictment yesterday morning, and they are here to talk about peace. .”

Lin Yufeng was slightly taken aback. The Metrics Company rushed to Shenzhen to sue for peace only the second day after receiving the indictment. Zhao Qing smiled knowingly, and said: "Gelushi hopes to mediate out of court, and offer an approximate price. I can apologize according to the unpleasantness of the commercial friction, and give 100,000 yuan as an apology gift." Lin Yufeng said: "100,000? It's suitable to buy a lollipop, and Mr. Ding is not too shabby." Zhao Qing asked: "How to answer?" Lin Yufeng said: "There is no need to think about it? The opportunity to deliver it to your door has to be a show." He looked at his watch, and the current time was 3:15 in the afternoon. After thinking for a while, he said, "Go socialize first. , It was agreed that the representatives of the two parties will formally negotiate in the company's conference room at 9:00 am tomorrow, and then go to several media outlets to interview the out-of-court mediation on the spot tomorrow. Inform the public relations department to prepare several suitable gifts and send one to each reporter."

Zhao Qing said with some doubts: "Isn't the metrical poetry self-inflicted? Is there any trap here?" Lin Yufeng said: "If there is a trap, you have to accept the trick. Could it be that they come to the door to apologize and prove that we are wrong? Even if it is a commercial friction, the medical expenses for the abrasion have to be paid." Zhao Qing said: "In terms of losses, even eating all the metrical poems is not enough to fill in the gaps. 100,000 yuan, the gap is too big, and there is no platform to talk about. Are they really ignorant or just pretending?

Lin Yufeng said: "It's disgusting anyway, so I sent them back as a show." Deciding on the matter of dealing with the Metrics Company's peace, Zhao Qing immediately went to arrange work, and Lin Yufeng went back to the anechoic room to continue discussing with the audio technicians about the product development of boudoir speakers. Ouyang Xue has rarely left the ancient city since she was a child, and the farthest place she has been to is Beijing, in order to investigate and learn from the business model of characteristic restaurants.This time she came to Shenzhen for the first time to travel far, the first time to fly, and the first time to stay in a star hotel.Perhaps she does not lack the financial ability for this kind of consumption, but she really has never had the idea of ​​this kind of consumption.

In this city famous for gold panning, dream fulfillment and modernity, she feels that everyone is in such a hurry, and every pair of eyes is full of searching. It is hard to tell whether it is a kind of confident vitality or a kind of The anxiety of survival made her feel lucky that she had a job that she could handle with ease, so that she could enjoy an almost luxurious leisure. The preparatory contact with Lesheng Company was routine, and the two parties agreed to hold formal negotiations in the meeting room of Lesheng Company headquarters at 9:00 am tomorrow. Ouyang Xue and Ye Xiaoming left Lesheng Company by taxi and returned to Yuexiuyuan Hotel where they stayed.This is a three-star hotel located in the business district. Ye Xiaoming's room is on the 6th floor, while Ouyang Xue's room is on the 12th floor.

The taxi arrived at Yuexiuyuan Hotel, and the two got off. Ouyang Xue didn't mean to enter the hotel, but subconsciously looked at her watch and asked, "Mr. Ye, it's almost time for dinner. How do you arrange it?" The arrangement of "you" obviously means that "I" has already made arrangements. Ye Xiaoming naturally understood and said, "I'll eat whatever I want tonight. If you have something to do, you can go to it. I have to prepare for tomorrow's negotiation." Ouyang Xue said: "I don't know anything about negotiations, and I can't help you. It's rare to come to Shenzhen this time. Before I came, I checked a few special restaurants on the Internet and wanted to go."

Ye Xiaoming said, "Okay, you're busy, I'll go up first." Ye Xiaoming went back to the hotel, and Ouyang Xue asked for a taxi at the entrance of the hotel. The taxi had just started, and the driver asked, "Miss, where are you going?" Ouyang Xue said, "Gancai Restaurant." The taxi drove to Gancai Restaurant in less than 20 minutes. There were cars parked in front of the restaurant. Ouyang Xue got off the car more than 30 meters away from the restaurant. There are three large earthen vats with a height of more than two meters lined up on the side. At a glance, you can tell that the restaurant is a restaurant with Jiangxi earthen pot soup as its signature dish. From the decoration of the facade to the tables, chairs and tableware in the restaurant, it reflects the Authentic Jiangxi folk customs.According to the article on the Internet, the raw materials of Gancai Restaurant are airlifted from Jiangxi every day to ensure the pure flavor of Gancai.

Ouyang Xue chose a seat in the restaurant and sat down, and ordered a crock pot stewed soup, a Gannan lotus-flavored braised pork, and a Nanchang fried rice noodle for the main course.In fact, she is not here to eat, but to stay here for a reason to eat, to observe other people's business philosophy and service characteristics, ranging from the creativity of the dining environment to the details of every movement of the waiters.She believes that she can do nothing but open a restaurant, so she has a special feeling for the catering industry, or gratitude.This industry allows her to go from selling wontons at a street stall to opening noodle restaurants and hotels, allowing her to develop gradually from a very low threshold. She took a sip of the stewed soup in the crock pot, the taste was delicious and thick, it was really good, it seemed to be very different from the so-called stewed soup in the crock pot in the ancient city.While eating slowly, she looked around carefully. After more than 20 minutes, she didn't drink a few mouthfuls of soup or eat a few mouthfuls of vegetables.She didn't dare to eat enough, so she had to save some stomach for the next few restaurants. However, she was unconsciously distracted. After all, she was the chairman of Metrics Company. After all, something happened to Metrics Company. After all, she came to Shenzhen to negotiate with Lesheng Company. Although she doesn't care about the success or failure of "Summation", because that is not something she can care about, she has already decided this from the motivation and conditions of joining the company.However, things other than the success or failure of the summation had to make her think. A faint premonition seeped from the bottom of her heart from time to time. This premonition told her that Ding Yuanying, Ye, Feng, and Liu could not go far. , an obvious sign is that they have completely rejected Ding Yuanying.This means that she can't go far with these three shareholders, because Ding Yuanying is her equity agent.Because of this, Ye Xiaoming neither notified Ding Yuanying nor her immediately after receiving the indictment, but first discussed with Feng Shijie and Liu Bing and then notified her of the so-called director long. She was thinking, according to the logic of Ye, Feng, and Liu, as long as this lawsuit is fought, winning or losing will be death, and the only way out is to avoid litigation.So, what if this time the sum fails? She seemed to have seen what was coming. At 8:50 a.m. the next day, Ye Xiaoming and Ouyang Xue came to the headquarters of Lesheng Company as scheduled, and walked into the conference room under the guidance of the manager of the public relations department of Lesheng Company.As soon as they entered the door, both Ye Xiaoming and Ouyang Xue were stunned at the same time - there were not only the negotiators of Lesheng Company in the meeting room, but also several media reporters, and the number of reporters far exceeded the number of negotiators.After several dizzying spotlights flickered, Ye Xiaoming and Ouyang Xue sat down at the negotiation table. The negotiators of Lesheng Company are Chairman Lin Yufeng and General Manager Zhao Qing. The job specifications and the number of representatives are the same as those of Metrics Company. A small company of respect.Both Lin Yufeng and Zhao Qing are people who often go to business scenes, and they are already used to things like cameras, flashlights and microphones, and their demeanor and demeanor are so calm and decent. Ye Xiaoming and Ouyang Xue had never seen such a situation before. Facing the cameras and microphones, they were already under psychological pressure beyond the subject of the negotiation before the negotiation even started.Perhaps due to the difference in expectations and attention levels, Ye Xiaoming's demeanor was a little more cramped, while Ouyang Xue was more regretful and sullen when he was nervous. Ouyang Xue restrained her emotions and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by inviting so many reporters?" Zhao Qing calmly explained: "This lawsuit is the first anti-unfair competition case in China's audio industry. It has attracted widespread attention from the society and the media, especially from industry insiders and audio enthusiasts. This is normal." Lin Yufeng didn't have the airs of a famous person in the audio industry at all, and said politely: "Miss Ouyang, Mr. Ye, you are welcome to come to our company, let's start." Ye Xiaoming didn't expect Lin Yufeng to participate in the negotiation. He was a legendary figure, a height that he couldn't touch, but now he sat at the same table as an opponent to negotiate with this person on an equal footing. Regardless of the outcome of the negotiation, this For Ye Xiaoming, it has undoubtedly become a symbol. Ye Xiaoming spoke out his pre-prepared opening remarks cautiously and earnestly, and said: "Mr. Lin, as an ordinary fancier and a former agent of the Lesheng brand, I admire you and the Lesheng company very much. First of all, I would like to thank you Lesheng Company once supported Yafeng Audio and Metrics Company, thank you! No matter what the reason is, it has objectively caused friction between our two companies. Willing to make appropriate compensation." Zhao Qing said: "Chairman Lin and the company dare not take the word admiration, please take it back. I noticed that Mr. Ye used the words 'me', 'fault' and 'compensation' in his conversation, We believe that we are negotiating with Metrics, not you personally. If your company does not think that your behavior is unfair competition, then there is no apology and compensation. If your company thinks your behavior is unfair competition, then It is not the nature of compensation, but the nature of damages. We can accept apologies and compensation, but we cannot accept vague apologies and compensation." Ye Xiaoming was very regretful. He originally wanted to use the word "we" in his speech, but when he was nervous, he omitted the word "we", which became a big joke.He wanted to explain the missing "men", but he was afraid that the description would become darker and darker. Maybe it would be better to ignore the past.What made it even more difficult for him to deal with was that the other party pushed the problem to the extreme of either-or, neither this nor that, leaving no room for maneuver. Ye Xiaoming could only choose to remain silent. Zhao Qing said calmly: "Okay, let's put the dispute aside and continue to discuss the following issues. Let's assume that the meaning of the word 'compensation' is uncertain, so how does your company plan to quantify this compensation?" Ye Xiaoming replied: "100,000, this is the limit we can bear." Zhao Qing smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Ye, I understand your feelings. We also place our hopes on negotiations, but we cannot ignore the carrying capacity of the negotiation platform. We regret that the distance between each other is too large, so big that we propose negotiation Conditions become meaningless. Therefore, some of our cognitive deviations still need to be corrected by law.” Zhao Qing's words are tantamount to announcing that the negotiations have broken down. Ye Xiaoming murmured to himself in his heart: Pug acted like a wolf in this matter, and now he is really being beaten like a wolf.He made some preparations for this negotiation, such as how to create a positive tone in the opening speech, how to obtain various information through the other party's body language, and how to avoid deadlock... However, the scene in front of him told him that his preparations were superfluous. Ouyang Xue felt that she was sitting there like a clown being fooled, and only then did she realize how big a mistake she had made in agreeing to "summation".Thinking about why my eldest brother asked her to use a short name in the first place, it was for controlling rights, decision-making power and veto power.If it is something that everyone can understand, then there is no need to hire an expert.Did Big Brother not foresee this lawsuit before making the decision?impossible.The eldest brother started to reserve speakers for the audio exhibition a year ago, so he must have his consideration.Now death or not is just the judgment of Ye, Feng, Liu and Lesheng Company, at least the eldest brother has not yet judged. Even if it is death, since the result of seeking peace or not seeking peace is death, then why die so recklessly?Shouting a few slogans before dying is at least a kind of integrity. Ouyang Xue set her sights on Lin Yufeng, the most powerful person in Lesheng Company, and said calmly: "Mr. Lin, your point of view is that you can definitely win this lawsuit. I don't think so. Think about it, if you What if you lose the case? Then the current negotiation is valuable to you.” "Losing the lawsuit?" Lin Yufeng said to himself, stood up calmly, walked to the window and pointed to the window, and said something not very gentlemanly in a gentleman's tone and style: "If the axiom is gone, I will Jump from here." Lin Yufeng was followed by the reporter's camera lenses, flashlights and microphones. The influential figures in the audio industry spoke amazingly, and everyone knew that the "here" Lin Yufeng was referring to was the window on the 9th floor of the Babylon Building. Lin Yufeng locked in this show negotiation with one word.
