You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 399

Although Mingyue spoke in a casual manner, she still felt upset inside.

Based on her experience, Yang Li had never thought of giving her a bonus, and that money would basically not be returned.

Although she was mentally prepared, Mingyue still did not plan to give up. After all, it was a huge sum of money, which she earned by working overtime on the project.

Why not give it to me?

Although Mingyue has just graduated from college for more than a year, she is not a newbie without social experience.

On the contrary, in her years of working life, she has met all kinds of weird bosses and clients, and has also encountered various tricks of withholding wages and bonuses.

Some money can be recovered, but for some there is no hope at all. Some bosses even run away and you can’t even find them.

Mingyue's working life has also allowed her to accumulate a lot of experience in asking for wages. No matter what, she can't just give up her own labor remuneration, so she has to try her best.

After sulking for a while, Mingyue cheered up, started organizing her work, and then ran to print out her resume to look for a new job.

After all, she had to make a living, and she had no intention of really clinging to Qin Shaoyan.

Just when Mingyue was busy organizing her portfolio, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and found it was a text message from Yang Li.

"If you come back to work now, I'll pretend nothing happened."

Mingyue frowned and replied without hesitation, "I resigned and will go through the resignation procedures tomorrow."

Yang Li didn't reply for a long time, so Mingyue ignored it and continued to busy herself with her own things.

The next day, Mingyue rushed to the company early in the morning and brought buns and water, ready for a protracted battle.

When I first entered the company, I found that most of my colleagues were there. Many of them were dozing off on the table. The few remaining ones who were still awake looked tired, as if they had not slept all night.

Mingyue walked over and greeted them, then came to Liu Yuanyuan and found that her head was still nodding in a daze, so she pushed her.

"Hey, Yuanyuan, have you eaten?"

"No." Liu Yuanyuan's eyes were a little dull, "Ah, Yueyue, why are you back?"

"I'm here to complete the resignation procedures." Mingyue frowned, and as she casually stuffed a bun to Liu Yuanyuan, she asked, "You guys stayed up all night again?"

"Wow." Liu Yuanyuan swallowed the bun in one gulp and nearly choked. She took a big gulp of water. "Yang Baopi was like a chicken with blood. He forced us to work all night. We finally finished the work at six o'clock."

"It's almost eight o'clock now. Why don't you go back to rest after finishing your work?" Mingyue asked.

"Well, Yang Baopi didn't tell us to go home." Liu Yuanyuan wolfed down the buns Mingyue brought. "I guess he will let us continue working."

"Is she crazy?!" Mingyue was shocked. "How could she do this?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but an old employee said that this wasn't the first time Yang Baopi had done this. She did the same thing last year." Liu Yuanyuan sighed and complained, "Even slave owners are not so cruel."

Mingyue found that she had underestimated Yang Li's harshness. Thinking of this, she suddenly looked around and asked, "Where is Yang Li?"

"She was here before dawn, but now I don't know where she is." Liu Yuanyuan was also a little confused.

Mingyue stood up and looked around but couldn't find anyone. Liu Yuanyuan had already fallen asleep on the table.

It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that Yang Li appeared in the company yawning. Then she saw Mingyue standing at the door of the office waiting for her, and her face suddenly darkened.

Yang Li pushed the door open and walked into the office. "You asked to resign on your own initiative. The company didn't force you to do so. Just sign and you can leave."

Mingyue frowned, "What about my salary this month?"

"You did not notify the company one month in advance of your resignation, so this month's salary will be deducted." Yang Li said casually.

Mingyue laughed out of anger, "This is the first time I've heard of salary being deducted for resigning."

"This is the company's policy." Yang Li said indifferently, "Sign it and leave."

"What about my bonus?" Mingyue asked, suppressing her anger.

"Didn't I tell you that your bonus will be deducted if you leave early?" Yang Li said confidently, "These are all company regulations. We are following the rules. You didn't object when the rules were announced before."

"Regulations are regulations, and contracts are contracts." Mingyue retorted, "We have to follow the contract. The contract doesn't say that bonuses will be deducted if you leave early."

Yang Li's expression changed instantly. "Okay, you want to follow the contract, right? Then go ahead and sue us. You can sue whoever you want."

Mingyue nodded, "Then let's meet at the labor arbitration."

"Okay, go ahead and sue me." Yang Li said proudly and arrogantly, "Little sister is too naive. We are related, so I'm not afraid of you suing me."

"If you want to sue, we will fight you to the end. We will also sue you for leaving the company without permission and causing losses to the company. We will also ban you from the industry. We know many company bosses."

"Black or white, we don't care."

Mingyue stood up expressionlessly. She knew she was in trouble, so she turned around and left.

Yang Li sneered, "Little sister, you are still a little naive."

Just when she was feeling proud, Yang Li's boyfriend Huang Zong walked in and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Just now, an employee resigned and wanted a bonus, but I sent her away." Yang Li said casually, "She is still not convinced and wants to sue us."

Huang Zong didn't take it to heart at all, and asked directly: "Is the thing ready? I want to take it away."

"Almost there. Come get it this afternoon."

"Didn't you say it could be done this morning?" Huang Zong was a little dissatisfied. "Why do we have to redo it again?"

"Someone resigned yesterday, so we are short of staff." Yang Li explained, "I will recruit a few more people tomorrow."

"Hurry up, the TV station is urging us." Huang Zong said impatiently, "Director Yang from the TV station wants a 70% split this time."

"He wants 30%?" Yang Li was a little surprised.

"What are you thinking? They want 70%." Huang Zong said unhappily.

"He has such a big appetite." Yang Li then consoled him, "Seventy to seventy. He can make a lot of money with the city's subsidies."

Huang Zong said nothing.

……

It is indeed true that I will not get my bonus back.

Mingyue was in a very depressed mood, and even the chicken legs didn't taste good anymore.

My money...

Mingyue became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, so she took the Batong Line subway and prepared to go to Wudaokou for a walk.

After taking the subway and then the bus, Mingyue walked around and finally found the three-story building where the campus network company was located.

She looked around curiously, then walked in and found the front desk to ask, "Hello, is Qin Shaoyan here?"

"Who?" The girl at the front desk didn't react immediately. She was stunned for two seconds before she realized, "You want to see Mr. Qin." "Uh, yes."

"Do you have an appointment?" the girl at the front desk asked enthusiastically.

"No..." Mingyue was a little curious, "Do I need to make an appointment to see Qin Shaoyan?"

"Of course, our boss is very busy." The girl at the front desk said, picking up a pen, "You can't see Mr. Qin without an appointment. I'll register you and ask Mr. Qin's secretary."

The girl at the front desk carefully wrote down Mingyue's name, then picked up the phone and called the secretary Xiao Chen.

"Sister Chen, there's a woman at our front desk who wants to see Mr. Qin, but she doesn't have an appointment."

"Female? What's her name?"

"Her name is Mingyue."

"Hmm?" Secretary Xiao Chen's eyes lit up immediately. "What does she look like? Is she pretty?"

"Uh, beautiful." The girl at the front desk was a little confused. What happened to Sister Chen?

"Where is she? She hasn't left yet, right? Keep her calm, I'll be there soon." Secretary Xiao Chen put down the phone and hurried to the front desk.

When I came to the front desk and looked around, I immediately saw a beautiful woman with a gentle and quiet temperament sitting on the chair next to me.

Secretary Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he ran over and said enthusiastically, "Sister Mingyue, you're here. Come in quickly. President Qin is in the company."

"Ah." Mingyue looked at the other party with some surprise.

"I'm Mr. Qin's secretary. Mr. Qin is in a meeting and will be out soon. Please go to his office and wait." Xiao Chen enthusiastically pulled Mingyue inside. "Sister Mingyue, this is your first time in the company, right? Would you like something to drink?"

Mingyue felt very embarrassed by Xiao Chen, "No need, I'll just sit and wait."

Xiao Chen brought Mingyue into the office, diligently served her tea and prepared snacks, exchanged a few polite words and then left the office.

It happened that Xu Lei, the PM of the operation and maintenance center, passed by and saw Xiao Chen bringing people into the office and coming out again. He immediately approached him stealthily and asked.

"Hey, which beauty is this who comes to Mr. Qin to curry favor with him?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and walked away angrily.

Xu Lei was stunned, then walked away with a puzzled look on his face.

……

After receiving the news, Qin Shaoyan quickly ended the meeting and hurried back to the office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mingyue sitting on the sofa eating cookies.

"Hey, why are you here?" Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Why didn't you say hello in advance so that I could send a car to pick you up? Did you come here by bus?"

"Yeah." Mingyue nodded, then asked curiously, "Do you have a secretary?"

"How fresh." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "There's even an associate professor doing the bathing."

Mingyue was delighted and took small bites of the cookie without saying a word.

Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "You came to see me because you have figured it out?"

"No, I quit." Mingyue was a little depressed. "That boss asked us to work overtime all night, and I refused so the negotiation fell through. She also deducted my salary and took my bonus."

Mingyue felt more and more wronged as she spoke, and emphasized: "It's more than 10,000 yuan!"

"What?!" Qin Shaoyan immediately became furious, "What kind of black-hearted boss is this?! He is such a jerk!"

"There's more to it than that." Mingyue finally found a place to vent her resentment and told him everything that happened today.

Qin Shaoyan's face darkened after hearing this. Even as a passerby, he felt that Yang Li was a piece of shit, not to mention that the protagonist of the incident was Mingyue.

"Too lawless!" Qin Shaoyan sneered, "Do they think no one can control them?"

If you are an ordinary worker, there is really nothing you can do and you can only suffer in silence.

At that time, there was no such thing as destroying the business environment. There was only inaction and lack of care. The social atmosphere was incomparable to that of 20 years later, and the administrative agencies were even more incomparable. Moreover, their style of doing things was particularly unscrupulous.

Normal rights protection simply doesn’t work and is too costly unless you have connections.

It was not difficult for Qin Shaoyan to find connections, but he could not swallow this anger in his heart, so he had to discipline the other party no matter what.

"Mingyue, what is the main business of the company you work for?" Qin Shaoyan asked seriously.

"Our main business is animation."

"Are you making money?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.

"It's not profitable." Mingyue answered while eating a cookie, "It's mainly for fraud."

"Hmm?" Qin Shaoyan was a little curious, "How do you cheat?"

"Didn't the Radio, Film and Television Bureau issue some regulations last year to allow private capital to participate?" Mingyue began to explain to Qin Shaoyan, "Then various places issued policies to provide certain subsidies for cartoons."

In 2004, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television issued a "Several Opinions on the Development of my country's Film, Television and Animation Industry" and also formulated a series of policies to encourage the development of the animation industry.

At the same time, market access conditions have been relaxed to encourage non-public sectors of the economy to enter the film, television and animation industries.

Many foreign and private companies have entered this blue ocean market, and the industry has indeed ushered in a wave of "spring".

However, this spring that many practitioners had been looking forward to did not bring them much warmth. Apart from a slight increase in salary, that was nothing more.

Mingyue counted on her fingers, "Big cities like Lin'an, Jinling, and Shanghai all have a special broadcast award, and the standards are similar in different places."

"For example, the reward for 500D animation broadcast in prefecture-level cities and above is 1000 yuan per minute, and 100D animation is 200 yuan per minute, with a maximum of 2000 million yuan. For broadcast on CCTV, the reward is doubled on this basis, with a maximum of 3000 million yuan. Jinling has the highest reward, which is yuan per minute for D animation and yuan per minute for D for broadcast on CCTV."

"In addition, the TV station also has to pay for the purchase of cartoons, but this amount of money is very small. The production cost of cartoons is very high, and relying solely on this purchase fee will result in a loss, so everyone basically has to rely on subsidies."

Qin Shaoyan frowned, "So all animation companies rely on subsidies to make money?"

"Not really." Mingyue explained, "You have to have connections, otherwise the TV station won't buy your film."

"There are too many animation companies, but only a few can get on TV. Some animation companies even ask TV stations to broadcast their films for free."

"Take 800D animation for example. CCTV paid about 1000 to 400 yuan per minute when it purchased it. Now there are too many movies, so the price has dropped to 500 to yuan per minute. There are also many movies that CCTV broadcasts for free without paying."

Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment and asked, "How much can the animation company earn?"

"It's hard to say." Mingyue thought for a while, "A 30-minute animation of medium to high quality costs about 40 yuan. If it's a crude and knockoff animation, the cost is much lower, 1 yuan per episode can be made. The unit cost of a long animation is lower than that of a short work, and the production cost of 3D animation is not much higher than that of 2D animation. Through water injection, delay and conversion, it can be made at a very low cost."

Qin Shaoyan was somewhat stunned. "So the animation company didn't make much money after all this trouble."

"That's not enough." Mingyue was puzzled. "It only costs a few hundred thousand to make a 20-episode animation. If it is broadcast on a provincial TV station, we can get a subsidy of 100 million. After deducting the cost, we can make or yuan."

Qin Shaoyan smiled. To him, hundreds of thousands of dollars was still money, but in the eyes of a small company, it was indeed a very good profit.

People with narrow vision and greedy hearts are very easy to deal with.
