You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 402 Thank you!
Mingyue stared blankly at the "Work Registration Book". The work registration category was art work, and on the work sample was the cartoon "Demon Squirrel" designed by her.

But this is not the point. The point is that someone else’s name is written in the author’s position.

Mingyue was a little confused, "Who is Xia Lian?"

"She is the director and producer of our Kuaibo Film and Television Company." Qin Shaoyan replied.

"Then why is my work registered as hers?" Mingyue became furious. "What are you doing?!"

Every work designed by the creator is like his or her own child, which is the result of hard work.

Seeing your own work being named after someone else is like your own child being stolen. No one would be able to tolerate this.

"Don't worry, it's useless." Qin Shaoyan said slowly, "Just listen to me and let me explain."

"Well, keep talking." Mingyue glared at Qin Shaoyan fiercely, "Let me see what excuse you can come up with."

"I'm doing this to help you get back what belongs to you." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Let's put aside the registration of this work for now. This work was originally designed by you, but now it doesn't belong to you."

"What does this mean?" Mingyue asked with some confusion, frowning slightly.

Qin Shaoyan asked: "Let me ask you, in what environment did you create this work? Was it while you were working in the company?"

"No, this was created in my spare time." Mingyue replied.

"Then why did this work appear in Suoyin Company?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "And why did it become a work of Suoyin Company?"

"This..." Mingyue was a little confused. "Yang Li told me before that the company is in need of good works. If you have good ideas and share them with the company, you can get a share of the project."

"So you agreed to bring your designs to the company, right?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask, "Did you sign any contract with the company?"

"This..." Mingyue hesitated, "There is an agreement that states the proportion of the project."

Qin Shaoyan asked again: "Does the agreement specify who owns the copyright of this work?"

Mingyue understood at this time and was immediately shocked, "Are you saying that my work no longer belongs to me?"

"That's right." Qin Shaoyan nodded. "Since you and the company didn't make a clear agreement on copyright, it has become the company's property."

"This is impossible." Mingyue said angrily, "This is clearly my creation. I drew it stroke by stroke on my laptop. How can it become someone else's?"

"The problem is that Suoyin Company is using it now, and you also made some changes to the work during your time at the company, right?" Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "Even if you can prove that you created it independently outside of working hours, so what?"

"It's nothing more than a copyright dispute. They can take their time in the lawsuit without interrupting their ability to make money. If you wait for a few years, you won't be able to afford it anymore."

Mingyue was stunned for a moment. She was just an ordinary person who needed to work to support herself. She really didn't have that much time and energy to spend on a lawsuit.

What Qin Shaoyan said was cruel, but she had to admit that she could not get her work back.

Thinking of this, Mingyue's eyes began to turn red, and the joy of getting her bonus just now disappeared without a trace.

"You have indeed accumulated a lot of social experience, but you are still a novice when it comes to legal details." Qin Shaoyan patted Mingyue, "But you don't have to be sad now. Leave the matter to me. I will help you get back what belongs to you."

"Are you still worried about my presence? I can make the man and woman kneel down and beg you in a minute."

Mingyue wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and burst into laughter, "Are you going to find another group of people to act with you?"

"No, this is not an act, this is real." Qin Shaoyan patted the "Work Registration Book" in front of him meaningfully, "I promise to make them return your things to you obediently, and in an aboveboard way."

Mingyue was a little puzzled, "Then why does this work have to be registered under someone else's name?"

"Because I want to get you out of this first." Qin Shaoyan replied, "If your name is used when registering the work, the copyright dispute will become yours, and you don't have the time and energy to deal with it."

Mingyue was still very confused. "I still don't understand. You went through all this trouble, hiring someone to play double roles and hiring a lawyer to sue me, just to help me get back the bonus and the copyright of my work?"

"Even if you add these two together, they don't make much money, right? They're not even enough for the lawyer's fee, right? What is your purpose?"

"I do have other ideas." Qin Shaoyan said sincerely, "I want to play the role of a domineering CEO and conquer a huge empire for you to see what it feels like."

Mingyue was shocked. "No, buddy? What's your train of thought?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "I'm going to find a new place for you to live so that they won't come to our door."

"Change place?" Mingyue was puzzled. "I just paid three months' rent. Why should I change place?"

"I'm not asking you to change houses. Anyway, you should hide for a few days. Don't let them find you easily. You just need to show up at the right time." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment and took out a bunch of keys and handed them over. "This is the house I just bought. You can live there."

Mingyue stared at the key in Qin Shaoyan's hand in a daze, her eyes shining brightly, and suddenly she smiled, "Are we living together a little too fast now? Is this also part of your calculation?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood." Qin Shaoyan explained sincerely, "I just transferred the ownership of the new house I bought, and it hasn't been renovated yet. I'm still living in the original rented house. The new house is empty anyway, so you can just stay there for a few days."

"Okay." Mingyue reached out and took Qin Shaoyan's key.

Qin Shaoyan stood up with a smile, "Let's go home first."

After helping Mingyue pack her luggage, he sent her to Dongshengyuan, the community where his house was located. After settling her down, he returned to the company.

At this time, several trusted and core members of the company were already in place in the conference room, eagerly awaiting Mr. Qin's return.

As soon as he entered the conference room, Qin Shaoyan ignored everyone's meaningful looks and walked to the whiteboard seriously, "Okay, now let's start reporting the progress. Director Dong, you start first."

Dong Songting immediately replied: "We have already prepared the legal documents, including the indictment and lawyer's letter. We can start at any time."

"Very good." Qin Shaoyan looked at Edward, "How about you?"

"My talks with Suoyin went very smoothly and we will be able to sign the contract tomorrow." Edward then asked, "What if the other party asks us to pay a deposit?"

"You can give it." Qin Shaoyan replied, "One million US dollars will be enough."

Edward was a little surprised, "Isn't that a bit too much?"

"For a $20 million contract, a $1 million deposit is not too much." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "You have to be willing to bait the fish. How can they work obediently if you don't pay them first?"

"Don't worry, we will make them pay back with interest later."

"Don't worry about the money. Your first priority is to get Suoyin Company started immediately and force them to expand the company." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "No matter if they cheat or rob, they must recruit employees."

"We also need to be strict in recruiting and recruit more talented people, and not let unqualified people fill the positions."

"We must make good use of the contract and force those two dogs in Suoyin to work hard. Let them catch as many animation talents as possible in Beijing!"

"Okay, Boss!" Edward nodded seriously, "I'll try my best to keep an eye on them."

Qin Shaoyan looked at Kou Hongfei again, "Boss Kou, you have to work harder and get in touch with Yiku.com and Sohu Video. Suoyin Company also needs you to run around more."

"No problem, Mr. Qin." Kou Hongfei agreed immediately, "It's nothing more than running a few more times." Qin Shaoyan's sharp eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the conference room, "Everyone, whether you can grasp the future of the animation industry depends on this one move!"

Zhang Pingyi, who had been silent the whole time, sighed faintly, "People in the animation industry are really unlucky to meet you."

"What are you talking about!" Qin Shaoyan said righteously, "I am doing this for their own good. A short pain is worse than a long one. Temporary pain is for future sublimation. If they knew, they would understand my good intentions."

"Besides, the animation industry is doomed to fail if it continues to rely on fraudulent subsidies. I can't watch them sink."

"Mr. Qin is truly a person of great love and kindness." Zhang Pingyi sighed.

Qin Shaoyan ignored Zhang Pingyi's sarcasm and asked directly, "Is the modified version of "Plants vs. Zombies" ready?"

"It's done." Zhang Pingyi immediately became serious. "The testing team is now looking for bugs and conducting playability tests. After they finish the test, they will see if there are any values ​​that need to be adjusted. Then we can release it."

"Let's release it in November." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment, "Then I'll have people promote it on several major gaming websites to ensure that players can download our genuine pirated games."

"By the way, I'm considering whether I should make a game platform myself, similar to the HaoFang battle platform, so that similar games can be directly posted on it in the future."

Zhang Pingyi thought about it and refused directly, "Forget it, I have too much work to do now. The game platform is more troublesome, I will talk about it after I am done with this for a while."

"I'll help Teacher Fan finish the first closed beta version of "Warring States" first."

"Okay." Qin Shaoyan didn't care. It was a bit early to consider the game platform now. The most important thing at the moment was the online game "Warring States". "I trust you to do the work. I'll do it according to your wishes."

……

On a sunny autumn day, yellow leaves fell all over the ground, and a cool breeze blew the leaves into the air.

At this moment in Suoyin Animation Company, the atmosphere was as warm as summer.

A brand new red carpet was laid from the company's entrance to the office, with red decorations everywhere. Not only were there couplets posted at the entrance, but there were also four flower baskets placed at the entrance.

The boss Huang Zong was wearing a newly bought suit, his eyes were almost invisible from laughing, and he shook Edward's hand enthusiastically.

Standing on one side were representatives from Qvod, Yiku, and Sohu Video. Under their witness, Soyin Animation Company and the American TNB company reached a cooperation agreement.

After signing, Yang Li held up the borrowed camera and took pictures frantically. Her fingers were shaking with excitement as she pressed the shutter button.

This is a big deal.

A contract of 20 million US dollars!
As long as the contract is completed, Suoyin Company will take off and become the largest animation company in the country.

And today is the turning point in the fate of her and Mr. Huang. From now on, they will become billionaires.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Damon, thank you for your recognition of our company. I hope we can have a smooth cooperation." Huang Zong said in a trembling voice, wishing he could pounce on Edward and kiss him hard.

"I also hope that our cooperation will go smoothly." Edward took out a check from his pocket. "This is the first deposit, one million US dollars."

Huang Zong's attention was instantly attracted to it, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out to take it.

Unexpectedly, Edward pulled his hand back and said, "But this deposit is conditional."

"Please tell us, we will definitely satisfy you!" Huang Zong immediately patted his chest and guaranteed.

"How many employees does your company have?" Edward asked.

"Well, there are more than 200 employees." Huang Zong said a little guiltily.

"Well, I want to see these two hundred employees before I can give you the deposit." Edward said seriously, "You have to assure me that you have enough production capabilities and enough staff to complete the contract."

"That's no problem!" Huang Zong agreed immediately.

"In addition, we will send a supervisory representative to your company to monitor the progress and quality of the entire project." Edward asked, "Is there a problem with this?"

Huang Zong didn't dare to say no, so he agreed, "No, the supervisory representative is welcome."

"Very good, then when can I see your employees?" Edward asked, "It seems that there are only a few dozen people today?"

"Well, because of the limited office space in our company, other people are working in other places." Huang Zong explained quickly, "I will gather them here later."

"OK, I hope you can keep your word." Edward said in stiff Chinese.

Huang Zong felt a little panicked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down.

After being busy for half a day, Edward and others finally left.

Huang Zong sat down on the chair exhausted. "I say, Ali, you have to find people quickly. You have to gather 200 people at all costs."

"Ah?!" Yang Li was shocked. "Where can I get two hundred people?"

"No matter what, go borrow, invite, hire, and gather the people first!" Huang Zong sat up straight. "This is related to the one million deposit. Go borrow a few from other companies first to make it look good. As long as the one million deposit is in hand, we will start recruiting people right away."

Yang Li thought about it, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll contact them right away."

Huang Zong stood up and took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out a few hundred-yuan bills and handed them to Yang Li, "Take it, bring some gifts when you go to invite people, now is not the time to save money."

"Okay." Yang Li took the money and suddenly asked, "Honey, when are we going to get the marriage certificate? Should we finalize this?"

Huang Zong's eyes flickered. "There are so many things going on in the company right now. How can I have the time to do it?"

"It's going to be delayed any longer." Yang Li looked a little disappointed.

"Hey, don't be like this." Huang Zong immediately hugged Yang Li and said gently, "I'm working so hard now for you, so that you can live a good life. Now we have received such a big business, and our dream is about to come true. We can't let it go to waste."

"Don't worry, we'll have the wedding after this busy period. I'll take you to the Maldives, the United States, and Europe for your honeymoon."

After coaxing her for a while, Yang Li left with a smile on her face.

The two men spent two days treating and giving gifts, and managed to gather more than a hundred people. They then politely invited Edward to come for inspection.

Edward was very satisfied after seeing it, and then said, "You need to move to a bigger office space. This one is too small."

Huang Zong was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed: "No problem, I'm already looking for a new office space."

"No need, I've already found it for you." Edward said with a smile, "It's over at Guomao. I've rented a whole floor of an office building. I'll deduct the rent from the deposit."

"Ah?!" Huang Zong was stunned.

"Don't thank me, this is what I should do." Edward said in standard Mandarin.

Thank you sir!
