Chapter 130 Commercial Espionage
The next morning, there was a good teahouse near Kuyu Building.
Su Yu knew that Xu Wenjian liked to drink tea, so he made an appointment here.
At this time, when Xu Wenjian received a call from Su Yu, it was not difficult for Xu Wenjian to guess what Su Yu was for.
As the second person of Cool Fish, his schedule is quite tight. Unless he is temporarily blocked and said a few words, even if the internal departments of the company want to invite him to a meeting, they will have to make an appointment several days in advance.
After receiving a call from Su Yu, Xu Wenjian thought about it or decided to go to the appointment. Whether he could help was another matter. It was at least a way to make friends if he could come.
Fortunately, the teahouse is next to the Kuyu Building, and it takes only three or five minutes to walk.
"I'll go out." Xu Wenjian explained to the secretary, and no one took him downstairs alone.
The teahouse is called "Spring Tea No Dawn", and the environment and atmosphere are arranged very carefully.
As soon as Xu Wenjian walked up the second floor, Su Yu flashed out of a private room.
"Mr. Xu, here!"
Xu Wenjian said half-jokingly: "Miss Su, I came here after I turned down several important meetings. Next time I can't blame me for not paying attention to you."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you are really wronged. How dare I blame you?"
After entering the private room, Fang Tong quickly stood up and said hello.
"Hello Mr. Xu!"
"Yeah, it turns out that the best ex-boyfriend is here too." Xu Wenjian was not surprised at seeing Fang Tong at all, and said with a smile, "Xiao Fang, we're meeting again."
After sitting down, Fang Tong first poured Xu Wenjian a cup of tea.
"Mr. Xu, I heard that you like to drink Pu'er. The boss just said that a batch of special Pu'er had just arrived, so you can try it."
"Well...good tea!"
Xu Wenjian picked up the teacup and sniffed it, took a sip, then put it down and looked at Fang Tong.
"Xiao Fang, but I'll talk about it first. Today, I won't talk about the program. The specific project operation is the business of each center. They have KPI assessments, so I can't interfere too much."
Xu Wenjian set the tone at the beginning, probably because he wanted to break Fang Tong's thoughts.
He could agree to Su Yu's appointment, but he might not be able to agree to help. This is related to the interests of Kuyu's company and is not a matter of personal favor.
Fang Tong was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "No problem, listen to Mr. Xu. Let's talk about something else."
Xu Wenjian was a little surprised at Fang Tong's reaction, and looked at him with interest and asked, "Oh? What do you want to talk about?"
"It's better to... talk about some legal issues." Fang Tong took out a piece of paper and put it on the tea table.
When Xu Wenjian saw that it was the lawyer's letter sent by Haoyu to Tangdou Media.
It is said that it is not about the show, but what Fang Tong brought out is related to the show.
Xu Wenjian did not make any noise to stop him, but just looked at Fang Tong quietly.
"I heard that Kuyu's legal department also received a similar lawyer's letter?"
Xu Wenjian nodded. Someone must have reported this to him.
Fang Tong continued: "I worked in Haoyu for six years and knows Haoyu quite well. In his early years, Haoyu caused many lawsuits and suffered a lot of losses. So they formed a strong legal department and also entrusted services with the well-known Dalu. At first, I couldn't understand why with the professionalism of Haoyu's legal affairs, how could I not know that such lawyer letters are purely unnecessary and have no effect at all?"
Domestic intellectual property laws do not protect the prototype of creativity, so Haoyu's lawyer letter accused Fang Tong of embezzlement and violation of confidentiality agreements. Both of these articles are related to Fang Tong's personal personalities, and the lawyer letter should be sent to Fang Tong. Sending lawyer letters to Kuyu or Tangdou is purely funny and has no deterrent effect.
Fang Tong continued: "I was also confused at first, thinking that Haoyu just wanted to discredit me. It was not until I figured it out that I found out that things suddenly became simple."
"Oh? What did you find?" Xu Wenjian remained silent.
Fang Tong picked up a few cups and put them on the tea table, as if it was a sand table deduction.
"This project involves two platforms, Kuyu and Orange Video, as well as two suppliers, Haoyu and Tangdou. It seems that the two suppliers have conflicts on the project due to my personal professional ethics. Therefore, there is something like a lawyer's letter that attracts attention but has no use. If you remove the meaningless things, things will look much simpler."
As he said that, Fang Tong moved the teacups representing Haoyu, Tangdou and his own, respectively, and only two teacups representing Kuyu and Orange Video were left on the table.
"So, simplifying the matter is a new program in preparation for Cool Fish, which was suddenly taken advantage of by Orange Video. Haoyu and his lawyer's letter are more like smoke bombs that attract attention. What's important is that among them, Haoyu is a heavyweight supplier that is inseparable from all three major platforms."
Xu Wenjian's face gradually became colder.
Fang Tong's words were heartbroken, and even nakedly sow discord.
"Xiao Fang, what exactly do you want to say?"
""Good Luck in China" is a small project. If it weren't for the last time that it happened to match Mr. Xu's business linkage model, Mr. Xu would probably have no time to intervene in such a small project."
Xu Wenjian nodded.
Fang Tong continued: "I heard that Mr. Xu is more concerned about S-level big projects, and some S-level projects are even organized by you personally. It is rumored in the industry that Mr. Xu attaches great importance to the confidentiality of big projects, and many projects are communicated internally by code names. It is said that a talent show successfully deceived his opponents last year."
Xu Wenjian smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying it.
Yesterday when we were on KTV, we were talking about the mutual inquiries between competitors, but what Fang Tong said now is far beyond the scope of mutual inquiries, and to some extent, it can be regarded as a commercial spy.
People think that commercial spies are all movies and exaggerations in TV series are actually almost everywhere in the business world.
It is said that during the "Hundred Groups War", the competition between group buying websites was quite day-to-day, and they could do everything they could to get discounted prices from their competitors. Some group buying websites even found that several employees in their department were receiving double wages.
Before joining the company, they were recruited by another competitor to teach them how to pass the interview and successfully intervene in the other party before being responsible for delivering key information.
Of course, not many such things were exposed in the end, because no one's methods were necessarily clean, and most of them were handled in a low-key manner.
Similarly, there are no exceptions in the highly competitive video website industry.
For key projects at S level, each platform is very cautious, not only setting a confidentiality system, but also using code names to match them internally. Last year, Kuyu launched a new program, which has been concealing the name of a certain sports project, allowing competitors to get misinformation and quickly made a sports program to compete. It turned out that Kuyu actually made a dance program, which became a joke circulating in small circles.
After Fang Tong finished speaking, Su Yu, who was standing beside him, was amazed. She didn't know much about the variety show industry, but she didn't expect that the competition among them would be so exciting, just like a spy war drama.
"Really? There is something like this?"
