Chapter 203: On behalf of the COO, I will personally talk about it!
Chapter 203 I will talk on behalf of the COO in person!
Supervisor Lian looked at the private chat messages in the company's internal communication software, and after thinking about it, he remembered who this so-called COO secretary assistant was.
It turned out to be the tall woman I occasionally met when I took the elevator in the morning.
All right, not familiar.
Unlimited Online Entertainment is a building with a large number of employees. Many people who have no experience with each other and the supervisor will not remember it.
Including this assistant to the secretary.
But what did she just say?
dead space?
Director Lian frowned and replied.
[If it is about operation and promotion, yes. ]
After hitting send, Director Lian directly cut the screen and started his own work.
After all, she is not only only docking the unique game, but also has many other projects in hand.
It can be said that being busy is not much easier than those developers.
But soon, the message notification sounded again.
The secretary replied.
Director Lian clicked on it habitually, and was shocked by the content above after just one glance.
[Okay, it’s such a pity supervisor. We are going to enter into a business cooperation with Tiancheng Films, intending to replace the protagonist of this game with an artist under their company. ]
[Currently the company's COO is already in negotiation, so it's not a big problem. Please arrange Skytropolis' request to see what you need to do, or what you need them to do. Please make a detailed Excel table, if you have a quotation, please bring the quotation together, thank you. ]
Director Lian couldn't believe the news he saw!
what's the situation?
The company's top executives appointed the protagonist of the only new game?
The other party is an artist under Tiancheng Pictures?
Do you want me to make a watch and arrange work?
Not a big problem?
Isn't that big?
We, Unlimited Online Entertainment, have no ownership rights at all!
What's going on at the top! ?
Supervisor Lian felt a little headache for a while.
She knows the COO. As a small middle-level and lower-level manager of the company, she has seen it every time there is a meeting.
At the meeting, his speeches were very constructive and developmental. In each report, the ways in which various projects can be profitable are named, which is quite appreciated by the CEO and Mr. Liang.
But now why does this person inexplicably decide the protagonist of "Dead Space"?
Could it be that he communicated with Mr. Meng privately?
Thinking of this, Director Lian did not reply to the secretary's message, but directly dialed Mr. Meng's phone number.
Rather than thinking about it here, it is better to ask directly.
She doesn't have the number of COO. For convenience, let's ask Mr. Meng nearby.
This matter is rather urgent, and it is too late to wait for a reply after leaving a message on the V letter.
So calling is the fastest!
Soon, the phone was connected.
There came a young voice that she had only seen once, but was extremely familiar.
[Hello, Director Lian, what's the matter? ]
Director Lian glanced at the internal information on the screen, and got straight to the point.
"Hi Mr. Meng, may I ask, has the protagonist of your new work "Dead Space" been decided yet?"
[Um? ]
Mr. Meng on the other end of the phone was suspicious, and then replied,
[No, actually, this game hasn’t been formally developed yet, and the protagonist and everything are still early, and we don’t have this plan yet. Our company is currently busy making another game. ]
After listening to Director Lian, he suddenly understood something in his heart.
She swallowed and asked softly again.
"Has anyone else from our company contacted you?"
[This, I actually don’t know. You know, I get several calls a day from my cell phone. Now I don't answer any unfamiliar numbers and landline numbers, so I don't know if there are any of you who are from Unlimited Online Entertainment. ]
Hearing this, Director Lian's already unsure heart immediately affirmed.
"So, you didn't get a call from our company about Dead Space?"
[no, what happened? ]
Director Lian was stunned.
Just a few words, let her understand that the company's top management has done an extremely wrong thing.
Without the consent of the only game, they made their own decisions.
However, there is still a chance to solve it now.
Before the high-level executives negotiated with the film industry!
"Okay Mr. Meng, I'm sorry to bother you. We're just asking for a routine question. Thank you for answering in your busy schedule."
"Please tell me if you have any questions, and we will help. Well, I won't disturb your work here. Goodbye, Mr. Meng."
beep—
beep—
In the office, Meng Shu looked at the hung up phone and frowned slightly.
Director Lian's behavior today is a bit strange, she has never made such a nonsensical call, it is really suspicious.
And when I hung up, I seemed to be in a hurry, as if I was afraid of staying too long.
Did something happen?
Mr. Meng frowned and glanced at the phone, but then stretched it out and ignored it.
He has been working with Unlimited Online Entertainment for a year, and he is still trustworthy.
Thinking, he put down his phone and began to devote himself to the production of the game.
At this time, Director Lian, who had just finished calling, unceremoniously asked the secretary assistant on the internal communication software.
[I just asked Mr. Meng, they haven’t received any notice about the replacement of the main character of “Dead Space”, and they haven’t even started the production of the game, let alone confirm the main character. May I ask what is going on? ]
[Also, please contact the COO immediately and tell him that we have not obtained the approval of the only game now, I am worried that this will affect our company and hinder his business! ]
After the message was sent, Director Lian began to wait for a reply.
This matter is a big problem, and it violates the contract with the only game.
There is no other company with potential like this.
If this matter is done without being clear, then if something goes wrong, let alone whether the only game will terminate the contract, Infinity Online Entertainment itself will not be able to get rid of the legal relationship.
So she is not in the mood to work now, thinking about finishing this matter quickly!
Soon, the secretary replied.
Its content made Director Lian immediately lose his temper.
[This is your problem, you are the supervisor, the person in charge of the game. You have to arrange work and convey the leadership's opinions to the game development team. You ask me what's going on, how do I know? ]
What is this called!
What I asked was why the COO made a claim without informing, but the words were a bit euphemistic, don’t you understand! ?
You are so wrong this time, it has nothing to do with me being responsible or not! ?
So Director Lian typed again.
[We don't have the copyright of that game at all, how to arrange it? ]
After hitting send, Director Lian said in his heart that it was unreasonable.
Don’t senior leaders know that Unique Game and us are just a cooperative relationship?
We are their publishers, nothing more.
We just earn a commission from their games!
No copyright at all!
Soon, the message came again, above, there were only four simple words.
[What's the meaning? ]
have to.
Director Lian understood that the secretary did not know the relationship between Infinity Online Entertainment and Unique Game.
That's right, even the COO doesn't know, so the secretary doesn't ask her to understand.
Maybe no one in the whole company knows the relationship between the two companies except myself and Mr. Liang?
Just as Director Lian was thinking this way, the secretary sent another message.
The above content confirmed the facts she didn't understand.
[You mean, this pre-promoted game project is not from Unlimited Online Entertainment? I checked the only game company, I don't understand, if this is not owned by the company, then why did the previous few games spend nearly 10 million in promotion fees? ]
Why?
Because it can make money!
Seeing the news, Director Lian really wanted to reply to her like this.
But if you think about asking, it will be very troublesome to explain. After all, if you want the other party to understand the value of the unique game, it is not something that can be explained in a few words.
Just as Supervisor Lian was having a headache, the secretary sent another message.
The content above made Director Lian sigh after reading it.
[I want to know how we talked about it when we cooperated with the only game. Why, as a publisher, we don’t have the copyright of the work? Please explain the problem and I will pass it on to the leader. ]
[Also, since they have cooperated with us, Unlimited Online Entertainment, it means that they need us. Now, because of our cooperation with Tiancheng Films, we ask them to change the protagonist of the game, do we have to get their consent? ]
[You are the supervisor, please take the corresponding responsibility. Tell the people who develop the game who is in charge. ]
Seeing these messages, Director Lian stopped replying.
Instead, he took a screenshot of all the news and forwarded it to Mr. Liang to see what Mr. Liang said.
The rest is not up to her to decide.
As for the secretary, who still hadn't received a reply after two hours, she sent a few more messages to 'question' the supervisor.
But the result remained the same, which made her extremely unhappy.
Okay, don’t cooperate, right?
Okay, then on behalf of the COO of Infinity Online Entertainment, I will personally talk to that small company!
No, I feel like a knife is being cut in my throat, which is really uncomfortable. I don't know if I can code the next chapter
