News on November 17: Tianyancha App showed that on November 15, Hangzhou Weinian Brand Management Co., Ltd. added new case filing information, and the related case was Sichuan Ziqi In other civil cases involving Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., Liu Tongming and Hangzhou Weinian Brand Management Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Weinian was the defendant in the first instance.

It is reported that this is not the first time for Li Ziqi. Sued MCN agency Hangzhou Weinian. Previously, Li Ziqi had stopped updating videos for more than three months due to Weinian's violation of the signed contract.

On November 17, Hangzhou Weinian was sued again by Li Ziqi in a civil dispute.

"Li Ziqi sued Weinian." My deskmate mentioned this hot topic with an expected expression.

During the three months when Li Ziqi stopped updating, Li Ziqi may work with Hangzhou Weinian Technology Co., Ltd., a cooperative MCN organization. Company

Rumors of disputes continue to emerge, and rumors that the two parties are about to go to court have never stopped.

Interested people discovered Li Ziqi through commercial inquiry platforms such as Tian*Cha and Qi*Cha. Sichuan Ziqi Culture Co., Ltd., which is owned by *** Weinian, has 0 insured employees. The nature of this company is self-evident.

It is basically certain. What is interesting is that the purpose of registering Sichuan Ziqi Culture Co., Ltd. is to let Li Ziqi and Weinian *** both hold the IP "Li Ziqi".

But what is very subtle is that although the "Li Ziqi" brand IP belongs to Sichuan Ziqi Culture Co., Ltd., it is jointly held by Li Ziqi and Weinian ***. However, the previously popular "Li Ziqi Snail Noodles" IP belongs exclusively to Weinian, and Li Ziqi does not have any shares in Weinian, so Li Ziqi naturally cannot receive dividends from the profits of "Li Ziqi Snail Noodles" through equity.

Even people who don’t understand the shareholding structure can see that Li Ziqi himself, as the core figure of the "Li Ziqi" brand, is in a weak position in terms of profit sharing, even if he holds shares. The shareholding ratio of Sichuan Ziqi Culture Co., Ltd. is only 49. As the major shareholder, Wei Nian has the right to forcibly remove Li Jiajia (Li Ziqi's real name) as CEO and take over the company at any time.

Although the specific conflict between Li Ziqi and Weinian cannot be known, bringing the dispute to the court or even making it public has had a negative impact on both parties, and Weinian’s Byte was only invested in July. ByteDance has started the process of exiting Weinian. ByteDance admitted that it originally invested in Weinian mainly because it was optimistic about Li Ziqi.

Now Li Ziqi and Weinian are in disagreement, and Bytedance has decided to withdraw from Weinian according to the investment agreement.

Judging from the current situation, no matter what the outcome of the lawsuit is, a lose-lose situation is already foreseeable.

Li Ziqi is likely to find a new agency after the lawsuit is over. This will be another fierce battle with capital, which is a great challenge for Li Ziqi who wants to be a pure content creator. Long-lasting internal friction in the field.

And what about Wei Nian? Without the core character of Li Ziqi, what is the use of mastering Li Ziqi's trademark? It is always Li Ziqi's content that makes the audience buy it. Can Wei Nian really create a second Li Ziqi?

However, we are all just spectators in this matter. After all, playing games with capital is not something that everyone will experience. However, because of the equity incentive system, the proletariat can also become one of the shareholders of the company through its own labor. one.
