After the representative of New Century left, there were only four recording companies left. But in the eyes of everyone, there was actually only three companies left. They were — Rock Records, Huasheng, and Universal.
As for the representative of the Sparrow Records Company, he was directly recognized as air due to his lack of presence.
This ti, the representatives of Rock, Huasheng, and Universal were all showing their hostility towards each other. The negotiations hadn’t even begun yet, and there was already the strong sll of gunpowder in the air.
The negotiation table was their battlefield, and contract offers were their bullets.
So from this mont onwards, it was a battle royale which allowed only a single survivor. Today, it was destined that only one company would remain as a partner of HuaXiang Entertainnt which was a potential cash cow. Who wouldn’t want a piece of the action?
Once one of the companies entered into a partnership with HuaXiang Entertainnt, it also ant that the other companies wouldn’t get their share of resources.
To put it simply, today, these recording companies didn’t actually co to HuaXiang Entertainnt for real cooperation but as a way to reach Wang Jingwen, the current supernova that exploded into the music scene.
No matter which company owned her, she would add strength and fa to the company. Of course, the main purpose of these major companies was to just use her current fa to make money while Wang Jingwen she was still popular. It was all about personal interests, naturally.
"Well, everyone, welco to our company. Before we talk about cooperation, I would like to let everyone listen to our company’s latest work. After you finish listening, it won’t be too late to talk."
Zhang Xiaohua who was the host spoke first and then winked at Yuan Datong.
Yuan Datong noticed imdiately and went to the safe and took out the master tape, inserting it into the computer drive, and reproduced the already recorded album, all five songs continuously, one by one.
The representatives of the three major companies were all overwheld, and their hearts were longing for more. No matter if it was the spirit or mind, they all went completely silent in the distinctive yet refreshing lody that lingered around them.
When Wang Jingwen’s magnetic and affectionate voice rang, the mont was like the spring breeze. It struck a chord in their hearts and brought them back to their childhood when they dread of becoming millionaires and other nonsensical dreams and ideas they had always wanted to pursue. The lody almost urged them to indulge and act on their dreams.
As the music’s final note fell, the people still couldn’t return to earth. Their eyes flashed with brilliance. Among them were many emotions that seed to evoke many mories in them, and it seed that they did not want to let go.
The lody brought forth a beautiful mood that lingered in the room, it was completely unforgettable.
"So, are you satisfied with the works of our company?" Zhang Xiaohua was sitting in a chair behind a desk, playing with a pen in his hand and smiling at the three companies representatives. He seed to not feel any tension in negotiating with the big companies. Obviously, he already had enough decision power and took over the pace of the negotiations.
At this ti, in the minds of the representatives of the three major companies, this small, inconspicuous company had already changed its face. Although the decorations here were simple, it gave them a feeling of grandeur, and the initial impression of the company was wiped from their minds. If they had to use one sentence to describe this company, it would have to be: "pretending to be a
pig, to eat the tiger".
When they first t Zhang Xiaohua, the representatives of the three major companies only thought that he was a juvenile youth who got lucky, scored a hit, and dared claim to be a boss; after all, he was still in his 20s. What a joke!
However, after just seeing Zhang Xiaohua’s anger, the representatives of the three major companies had a new impression on him.
Seeing this kid looked down even on New Century, his demolition of the representative had deterred and crushed their confidence.
Now he had delivered the fatal blow — those five songs. The representatives now involuntarily saw Zhang Xiaohua as soone on the sa level as their own bosses.
At this ti, the representatives of the three major companies looked at each other, and the hostility between them was complete. Imdiately afterwards, everyone stepped forward, swarming around Zhang Xiaohua. The scene was comparable to a 100-ter race.
As a result, the representative of the Rock Records who had the advantage of making the first move was the first one to reach Zhang Xiaohua, and he imdiately took out a contract from his bag, giving it to Zhang Xiaohua. "Boss Zhang, you first take a look at our company’s contract. As for the cooperation, we can discuss any issues."
At the sa ti, the representatives of the two companies; Huasheng and Universal, were filled with hate, swearing at him in their minds:
"God damn it, what a son of a bitch! How am I ant to go back now? He actually dares to rob , this granddaddy, from his promotion, hmm... wait till we reach the parking lot."
Zhang Xiaohua bowed his head and snorted his nose. His face was calm and blank, but in his heart, he was rejoicing.
Picking up the contract book, Zhang Xiaohua seriously began to read it.
But after just two minutes, Zhang Xiaohua’s face beca dignified, as if he was not looking at contract, but a demonic novel.
"Hmm!" Suddenly closing the contract, Zhang Xiaohua threw it on the desk. He looked at the representative of the company, and asked, "Why don’t you just rob a bank instead?"
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua was satisfied with the contents of the contract for the most part. The company not only offered to be responsible for recording an official music video but also making copies of the song and to take care of the packaging and promotion for them. Even arranging concerts and other comrcial activities, plus their company was a large brand na, so sales shouldn’t be an issue.
But at the end of the contract, it was written that all comrcial inco must be divided so that Rock Records would receive 90%, while HuaXiang Entertainnt would only receive 10% of the profits. However, in Zhang Xiaohua’s view, the proportion of the two parties were exactly the opposite.
"If Boss Zhang has so opinions, please put it forward. I will report them to the company’s top managent as soon as possible. I believe that with your company’s strength, our company won’t treat you unfairly in terms and conditions!"
Zhang Xiaohua grinned: "You all proposed that you should receive 90% of the profits right? Even if I have conditions, can you satisfy ? 40% or 60% should be your bottom line, right?"
"Uhh!?" The representative of the Rock Company was red with embarrassnt, the contract he had produced was prepared without realising the strength of HuaXiang Entertainnt. Presumably, even if it was divided into 40% or 60%, the company would agree, but as Zhang Xiaohua said, this should be the company’s bottom line.
"Well... we will account for 60%, and your company will account for 40%. I think there should be no problem. If it all goes well, we can talk about the records below." The representative of the Rock Company readily agreed. There were still two companies behind him waiting to snatch this golden goose away from him. Therefore, the representative of the company took the lead and decided to get the contract first.
At this ti, Yuan Datong and Emma’s faces had already exploded with wide smiles...
It was no wonder that the Rock Records Corporation was such a big company. They were quite decisive when needed.
Yuan Datong could not even think that one day he could cooperate with such a big company. But now, not only did they beco partners with Rock Records, they also reached a high-return agreent of 40% of every yuan made. This was the stuff of his dreams!
Especially Wang Jingwen, although she was more inclined to cooperate with the industry leader that was New Century Entertainnt, she didn’t have the right to speak on such matters. Moreover, New Century Entertainnt had been completely rejected by Zhang Xiaohua, and no matter how much she advertised for them, it would be useless. Fortunately, Rock Records strength was also not weak, if she could work with them, it would also be a good thing.
Unexpectedly, when everyone was happy to be able to reach cooperation with Rock Records, they heard Zhang Xiaohua suddenly say to the representative of Rock Records, "I’m sorry, the conditions you have set out are beyond my bottom line. I can’t cooperate with your company."
At the sa ti, Zhang Xiaohua turned around, and looking at Emma again, he blankly said, "Emma, please help send him off!"
