After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 207 The Last Supper
"Hey, two little brothers, please come inside, there are private seats inside, what do you want to order, ring oil soft pocket, Missi circle, hairy crab rice cake, salt and pepper tenderloin, green pepper pork liver belly, loofah edamame, bacon lettuce, pickled Duxi, these These are our specialties.”

At the night market, Shen Guanchang had a smile on his face, with a pen and paper in his hand, and quickly wrote down. At the end, he bowed to two young men who were about his age, turned around and trotted, and handed the list in his hand to the proprietress.

Afterwards, he turned back with two bottles of beer, quickly opened the lid, filled the wine glasses for the two young men, and said courteously: "You two brothers, drink first, the cooking will be here soon."

At this time, a young man at another table shouted: "Madam, two more bottles of beer."

Without the proprietress' consent, Shen Guanchang raised his head and responded, "Okay, two bottles of beer, brother, wait a moment."

He said "wait a minute", but his footsteps had already moved, and after a while, he killed him with a bottle of beer in each hand.
Across the road, at a 45-degree angle, Li watched Shen Guanchang, who was busy walking through the booth, and nodded silently.

Shen Guanchang was the only male of the three generations of his grandfather's family, and he was pampered and raised. After coming to Shenzhen, Li Kai didn't treat Xue Bing like he did. He took special care of him, just wanting him to experience the baptism of society.

During the previous two meetings, Li Kai had already sensed the changes in Shen Guanchang, and now witnessing this scene with his own eyes, it is completely certain.

After more than half an hour, the three tables of guests withdrew one after another, and the booth was vacant.

Li Kai walked over, Shen Guanchang saw it, and was about to greet him, but suddenly froze.

Even though Li Kai was wearing a mask, he still recognized it and quickly approached, "Why are you here?"

Li Kai asked back, "When do you leave work?"

Shen Guanchang looked back, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why don't I ask for leave."

Li opened his head and nodded.

The two walked along the night market street.

Li Kai was quite full from dinner, but smelling the aroma of the oil pie, he couldn't help but feel a little greedy, so he bought two, one for each person, and said while eating: "Shen Guanchang, the milk tea shop plan you told me earlier Cancel."

Shen Guanchang snorted, and before he could say anything, Li Kai said, "It's not that I'm reluctant to invest in you, but I want to open a music studio and I want you to work with me."

Shen Guanchang blinked: "Studio, I don't know anything about music."

Li Kai pointed casually: "In the past, you didn't do anything at home, but you came to the night market to help, and you got it?"

Shen Guanchang choked for a moment, his face was a little embarrassing, he scratched his head and said, "Isn't this forced by life."

Li Kai took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over: "Here is the first 1 yuan, go buy a copy machine, buy a Walkman, and the rest will be used as living expenses for you. Don't do the two jobs now. The studio is currently In the preparatory stage, I need your efforts, starting tomorrow, I will run from bar to bar every night, record a song sung by the resident singer, and give me the tape within a week."

After all, he added: "When the studio is officially established, the usual salary will be calculated separately, and I will give you 800% of the shares. Don't think it is too small. A studio requires at least seventy-eight million initial investment."

For Xue Bing, Li Kai didn't need to talk about conditions, but for Shen Guanchang, he chose to make it clear in advance. This is a psychological distance, and the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

He and Shen Guanchang don't see each other a few times a year, and they don't communicate much!

Shen Guanchang was stunned: "Seven to eight million. Li Kai, are you kidding me?"

"It's not my money alone." Li Kai responded vaguely, and then said: "I want to make one thing clear to you. A company is a company. Everything follows rules. There is a system for rewards and punishments. You are my representative." Brother, there is no privilege, of course, you deserve it, no less, and even more than others."

Seeing Li Kai's stern eyes, Shen Guanchang also became serious and gave a guarantee.

Here, Li Kai started the preparations for the studio, and there, Qiao Li started a negotiation with Mr. Ren.

It was still the revolving restaurant where Mr. Ren invited Li Kai to dinner.

Tonight, the person sitting opposite Mr. Ren was replaced by Qiao Li.

"Qiao Li, you have to understand that I am not only the general manager of Time Records, but also the chairman. Any decision I make must be based on the interests of the company."

During the meal, I just chatted about some gossip, and after eating the staple food, Mr. Ren got into the topic: "For you, I opened up and said that Li Kai is not me who really wants to hide, but the five giants. As for the reason, you know I know."

"One side is the compensation for the eight songs, and the other is the security guard Li Kai, but Time Records is going to be jointly suppressed by the five giants. If you are me, how do you choose?"

The corners of Qiao Li's mouth were raised slightly, with a hint of sarcasm, and said: "President Ren, there are more than eight songs, there is also Deng Yaxuan's transfer, including the three songs brought by Deng Yaxuan. I'm afraid it's also part of the compensation."

A strange look flashed in Mr. Ren's eyes, but it was fleeting. There was a smile on his face, but he didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "You can see clearly. When the five giants first came to me, it was Li Kai's first album release. Three weeks, and then his album is getting stronger and stronger, so it is natural to add some."

Qiao Li was noncommittal. After the meal, she asked the waiter to serve a cup of black tea, and took a sip of it.

"Although Deng Yaxuan is a little queen, the sales volume of her last album has dropped compared with the last one. Even though she is young and on the rise, the momentum is not strong. Let alone hit the top line, it is also a top line. It will be very difficult."

Qiao Li said slowly: "Mao Xingyu has a lot of potential to enter the second-tier with his first album, but the platinum of his first album also means that he needs at least two more albums if he wants to reach the top-tier."

"As for the eight to twelve songs of the big and medium players in the circle, three or five first-line songs are produced. That is the upper limit. It is not bad to actually produce two or three places."

Qiao Li snapped her fingers, and silently calculated: "All these add up, and the valuation is at most 2000 million, and there is still one and a half years left in Li Kai's contract with the company, and he has made it clear that he is willing to accept a large number of commercial performances." , if there is another album and endorsements, the company can also earn this amount.”

After a pause, he raised his eyelids: "No loss, no gain, but you want to offend Li Kai to death, Mr. Ren, I don't believe you can't figure out your real wishful thinking. There is no way to go, and we have to accept the olive branches extended by the five giants, and Li Kai's transfer will bring 3 million yuan in revenue to the company, even if we bargain, the final liquidated damages will not be less than 2 million yuan."

Hearing the last sentence, Mr. Ren was shocked, and finally changed his face!
However, before it was over, Qiao Li narrowed her eyes and said slowly: "Not only that, but banning Li Kai's works is also your request to the five giants. Only in this way can Li Kai be cornered!"

This time, Mr. Ren was completely shocked.

These two points are his deepest hidden thoughts, especially the second point, which is an ulterior secret.

Mr. Ren didn't answer, but just looked at Qiao Li fixedly, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze all of a sudden.

Qiao Li's expression was flat, and he looked at him and said: "You invited me to dinner because you expected that I would fight for Li Kai. You are wrong. If you think about these joints, no matter how much you fight, it will be futile. Why should I have a conflict with you?" ?”

Mr. Ren said in a low voice: "Then what is your purpose?"

Qiao Li is a wise woman, it is impossible to understand the truth that cannot be explained clearly, and since she has explained it clearly, she must have all the pictures.

"One of Li Kai defaults to double platinum, one defaults to four hundred gold, one of Tan Guangyue defaults to double platinum, one of Ning Lan defaults to double platinum, and this time, it is very likely that the default triple platinum will be achieved. , These five albums are all closely related to Li Kai."

Qiao Li looked down at the black tea in the cup, and said indifferently: "When I signed Li Kai, I used my own future as a bet. The position of music director is what I deserve, and the shares remain unchanged. Shares, I ask for three percent."

The music director is comparable to the vice president. The last one was two shares, [-]% of the shares. Hearing that Qiao Li wanted to increase by one point, a sneer flashed in the corner of Mr. Ren's eyes.

The market value of Time Records is hundreds of millions, and one point of shares is worth millions. What's more, if it can be promoted to a giant, it will at least quadruple, that will be millions.

Qiao Li has been in the company for less than two years, and the third deputy is always the original shareholder, which is 5.00% of the shares. It's a big mouth!
"The position of the music director is not decided by me alone. It has to be voted by the board of directors. As for the increase in shares, the same is true."

Qiao Li had expected that appointment would always be perfunctory and evasive, so she smiled inexplicably and said, "You want to leave the position of director to Gao Dongliang, right?"

Mr. Ren's eyes flickered slightly, this was another ulterior motive in him, he had considered Qiao Li in the past, but when it came to Li Kai's issue, Qiao Li kept at odds with him time and time again, as if she was getting closer and closer to him. Therefore, after Deputy Director Luo lost his qualifications, he thought of Gao Dongliang, the confidant among his confidants.

In order to pave the way for Gao Dongliang, this time, the distribution of the eight songs was handed over to Gao Dongliang!
"Gao Dongliang is in the top position, I must not accept it, but I have no choice but to accept it or leave the job"

Qiao Li pushed the cup forward, raised her head slowly, her eyes were as still as water, just like her voice: "Ning Lan's contract is for three years, and there are nearly two years left, but the liquidated damages are only 1 million yuan. , as long as Li Kai agrees to continue writing songs for Ning Lan, I believe that the five giants will be willing to pay the liquidated damages, and at the same time, they will not mind adding a small request to add a position of deputy music director for me."

After all, regardless of Mr. Ren's ugly face, he took his bag, got up and said, "Mr. Ren, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first. Thank you for your dinner. This is the last meal I will have with you as the deputy director." One dinner, next time, I will be the director!"

At the end of the sentence, I got up and left.

Mr. Ren shook his head abruptly and said, "Qiao Li, don't forget that you were only the deputy director of a second-tier record company back then, equivalent to a senior producer of Time Records."

Qiao Li turned her head and said, "Mr. Ren, are you trying to say that you are kind to me, and now I'm forcing you instead, is it ungrateful?"

No need for Mr. Ren to answer, a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth: "What about Li Kai, you know how much he has contributed to the company, but how did you treat him? As you said just now, your decision is based on The company's interests are in accordance with the rules, and my decision is to protect my own interests in accordance with the rules, and do not do to others what I do not want!"

After finishing speaking, he started again. This time, Mr. Ren didn't say anything more, and stared at Qiao Li's back as she disappeared at the door of the restaurant. Then he withdrew his gaze. His face was sometimes angry, sometimes helpless, and sometimes entangled. After a long silence, he closed his eyes for a long time. Take a long breath!

on Tuesday.

Li Kai came to the company on time, and Ning Lan and his group embarked on a promotional trip. Accompanied by Qiao Li, the leader was not there. Everyone looked relaxed, and the atmosphere was the same as usual.

Li Kai walked around the office area, greeted everyone, and then came to the lounge followed by Su Ting.

As soon as she sat down, Su Ting came over with a pile of newspapers.

Most of these entertainment newspapers were published yesterday afternoon, and a few were published this morning. Almost all of the headlines on the front page were occupied by Ning Lan and He Jingyun.

Ning Lan ranked first in sales last week, breaking 34 copies. People in the circle rationally estimate that Ning Lan has a [-]% chance of reaching the standard in a single month and defaulting to triple platinum. The key depends on this week. If the sales volume of the three of them increases significantly, Ning Lan is bound to dive
But the media will not be so rational. They will praise Ning Lan one by one, and directly put the hat of a queen on Ning Lan's head. The most ruthless, even compare Ning Lan's first week and second week to Li Kai. In the first week and the second week of the album, Ning Lan had more tens of thousands of copies. Based on this calculation, he directly gave a prediction of [-] gold by default for a single month!
And He Jingyun, when her first single was called the future Cantonese diva, after the fifth round of new song recommendations on the two charts last week, she directly put on the hat of Cantonese diva, but now, the hat of Cantonese diva cannot be worn, She was named the first Cantonese female singer in today's Chinese music scene.

And with a lot of fanfare, He Jingyun swept the markets of Hong Kong Island, Baodao, and Guangzhou. Other Cantonese albums are collectively unsalable, and it is expected to set a record for the sales of single albums in the three places!
"Brother Zhang, last night, Sister Ning was on the main chart of the Fengyun chart, and He Jingyun was on the chart for two. In addition to the first and second titles of your album, you alone have seven songs."

Su Ting saw that Li Kai was reading slowly, so she hurriedly turned to the first few articles published this morning, and pointed to the front page of the article with an excited expression.

Seven out of ten of the Main Board of the Fengyun List is equivalent to two-thirds. This is another milestone record.

The previous record was also made by Li Kai, five songs were on the list at the same time!

Li opened his eyes and scanned quickly, shook his head and laughed, the media really got bigger and cooler, calling him the number one musical genius in the history of the domestic music scene!

"Brother Zhang, this time, your works will definitely not be able to be blocked. At the beginning, those famous songwriters were more famous than the other, but now, they are all mute."

Su Ting was in a good mood, her silver teeth were clenched tightly, and she had an expression of revenge.

Li stared at her, turned over a page of the newspaper, and said casually: "Yes, the work should not be sealed, but the rumors from last weekend are about to come true."

Su Ting didn't react, and blurted out: "What rumors?"

In the next second, his face changed in shock: "How is it possible!"

Li Kai, the company's Xuezang, seemed to her extremely absurd. Li Kai looked at her, turned another page of the newspaper, and told the story of Xuezang in a flat tone.

Su Ting's face was fickle at first, but finally she heard the confirmation from Ning Lan and Qiao Li, and her face quickly turned cold.

"These people are all suffering from pink eye disease, they are simply insane."

Li Kai knew who she was referring to, closed the newspaper, shook his hand and said, "This is just an excuse. These people are just adding fuel to the flames with a black heart, and they will have to pay the price in the future, so it's not worth being angry."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the seat opposite, motioned for Su Ting to sit down, and then said: "Su Ting, the matter of Xuezang should be close, you"

"Brother Zhang, I will accompany you. When the contract expires, I will go wherever you go."

Looking at Su Ting's firm eyes, Li Kai hesitated, and said: "I never ask about your private affairs, but now, I want to ask, if it is not convenient for you to answer, you don't have to answer. Do you have any questions?" Boy friend?"

Su Ting was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

Li Kai hesitated for a while, and said again: "Then you, what should I say, that is, do you have someone you like, or someone pursues you, you are still considering it."

Such a question is really difficult to ask, but Li Kai has to ask. If he wants to open a studio, especially if he entrusts him with important tasks, he must use someone he can trust. There is no reason for relatives, only Xue Bing is a friend, don't worry, Shen Guanchang doesn't communicate much, but he is his cousin, don't worry.

All three of them are men, which makes Li Kai more at ease.

He is kind to Su Ting, and he is also very kind to Su Ting. Su Ting is grateful for his kindness. He also trusts Su Ting, but there is a problem. Su Ting is a woman. Once a woman has a boyfriend, the bottom line of doing things will be infinitely lowered. .

This point, with Li Kai's rich experience, can't be more clear. A woman who is quite principled, because she likes a man, then starts to become unprincipled, and in the end, even do things that make people feel extremely chilling. In this situation , not less in society!
Therefore, whether Su Ting has a boyfriend, whether there is a man she likes, or pursues her, the man she is considering, this directly affects Li Kai's appointment of Su Ting.

Opening a studio requires a huge investment, which is related to his future, so don't be careless!

However, under Li Kai's deep research, under Li Kai's gaze, Su Ting's eyes drifted a little, her little face flushed slightly, and she was a little hesitant.

Li Kai saw it in his eyes, and he had the answer in his heart, so he couldn't help but sighed softly.
