money trouble

Chapter 726

There is a video call between Wu Qian and Dwayne Johnson. Although the volume of the mobile phone is not loud, people nearby can still hear it. From the information between words, it can be judged that the relationship between Wu and Dwayne Johnson is indeed unusual. Otherwise, Dawn would not have offered to let Wu live in his mansion.

What is even more unexpected is that this young rich man actually bought Helios Island from the Morgan family and became the new owner of the top mansion in New York!

If it wasn't because the transaction was too hasty, and Moge Chase Bank presented the Sun God Island to Wu Qian with an apology, it is estimated that the news of the transaction has already appeared in the newspapers.

Through a series of information, everyone judged that this "fake fan" Wu who suddenly appeared is definitely a super invisible rich man, similar to a chaebol who hides in the dark.

After hanging up the video call, Wu Qian put away the phone, then reached out to Taylor Alison, and said, "Ms. Alison, may I have the honor to invite you for a drink..."

After finishing speaking, Wu Qian leaned forward, approached Taylor's ear, and said softly, "By the way, let's talk about the troubles you encountered."

Taylor Alison froze slightly after hearing Wu Qian's words. As a top star, she encountered a lot of troubles on weekdays, but she knew very well what troubles Mr. Wu was talking about.

For a moment, Taylor Alison was vacillating. She didn't know what Mr. Wu's specific intention was for inviting her. According to her understanding of the powerful, those big men would never give charity for no reason.

Taylor is a smart woman. Of course, Wu Qian is not just out to help when he sees injustice. He has a very clear purpose, but she can't think of that purpose, or dare not think of it.

Just when Taylor was still struggling, one of her assistants came to tell her that she had received news that her mansion in New York was surrounded by fans who had learned about the copyright incident, and the agency asked her to avoid it temporarily...

Taylor, who has long appeared on the Forbes Celebrity Earning List, has many luxury homes around the world.

In fact, Taylor has long expected that once the matter between her and the machine record company is exposed, countless fans will come out to support her. The concert tonight is to vaccinate the fans, but the effect does not look good .

Since the apartment cannot be returned for the time being, then...

"OK, Mr. Wu, I think I should get back a little copyright fee from you."

The corners of Wu Qian's eyes were slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "I have recorded Romani wines from half a century ago on the plane. I don't know which year or which vineyard you like. I will ask someone to pick it up."

What Wu Qian said about half a century is not an exaggeration at all. Romanée-Conti in the 80s did exist on his plane. There may be a certain year missing in the middle, but that doesn’t matter, because the missing year must not be a classic year.

Ordinary people can't learn the way the top rich people pick up girls, it can be said that it is beyond the reach.

Taylor is certainly no stranger to Romanee-Conti. Some friends in the circle have a special liking for this brand of wine, but it is unique to Wu Qian’s level, including the output of Romanee-Conti for half a century!

She remembered some things that happened some time ago, and suddenly connected several things together. The person in front of her should be the one who took away the shares of Romanee-Conti Winery from the islanders!

The more courteous Wu Qian was, the more fearful Taylor Alison felt. She said: "I believe that as long as it is a wine made by Romanee-Conti Winery, it will be amazing. I hope Mr. Wu recommends one."

Wu Qian snapped his fingers, turned his head to Rosalind and said, "Have someone pick up two bottles of 1989 Romanée-Conti and send them to Helios Island."

The aforementioned Romanee-Conti refers to the brand, and the 1989 Romanee-Conti mentioned here refers to the vineyard, the 1989 "Prince" wine.

When Taylor heard what Wu Qian said, she shrugged her shoulders with a very interesting expression. It is very likely that the other party chose 1989 not because of the wonderful wines of this year, but because she was born in 1989.

After ordering to get the wine, Wu Qian asked Rosalind to contact Bauer to pick him up.

Not long after the poor Powell parked the helicopter, he just took a taxi and walked towards the Empire State Building. He wanted to go to Taylor's concert, but he was told to fly a plane to pick up the boss.

But when Bauer knew that he was going to pick up not only the boss, but also Taylor Alison, he immediately became excited. He missed the concert, but caught up with the "exclusive interview", Ness!

At ten o'clock in the evening, the sound of the propellers of the helicopter broke the tranquility of Helios Island. The party in the Victorian-style villa has ended, and the restaurant has been restored to its original state.

In the living room, Wu Qian was standing by the window lattice with a big belly crystal cup. If you only looked at his back, he looked like a big boss, but if you looked at his face, he looked younger.

Taylor Alison sat on the sofa in the center, her slender legs leaning together, seeming a little prim.

For these long legs, Taylor insured them for 4000 million US dollars, which shows how much she attaches importance to these legs.

"Alison, to be honest, you are one of my favorite European and American female singers. The other one is a little fatter than you. You are friends, but she lives in the UK. As far as I know, she seems to be in the UK. There are more trophies at the Les Mers than you."

Wu Qian said with a smile.

Taylor knew that the other party was using a relaxed topic to relieve the relatively stiff chat atmosphere, but she accepted the topic very much, clapped her hands on her thighs, raised her fingers, and smiled: "Oh, I know who the sir is talking about , Adele Adkins, must be talking about her, right?"

Adele is definitely the daughter of the Grammys. She has won [-] Grammys in her ten years since her debut, five more than Taylor. The singer with the most general category awards.

Wu Qian nodded with a smile, and said: "Yes, I bought the Partridge Manor where she lived for a long time in England, and I hope to invite you and Adele to visit there together when I have time .”

After a simple off-topic chat, Wu Qian changed the subject and said, "Taylor, I appreciate your talent very much. Although I don't know much about American entertainment culture, the music you create makes me feel comfortable. , I believe this is the power of music.”

"I'd love to help you with your troubles with Robot Records, but at the same time..."

While speaking, Wu Qian turned around, held out his hand holding the wine glass to Taylor Alison who was sitting, and said, "At the same time, I hope that you can help me when I need your help in the future."

Taylor Alison heard that her legs tightened, and she could see that the muscles on her thighs were exerting force. She stood up quickly and said, "With Mr. Wu's energy, is there anything I can do to help?"

Taylor didn't say "I don't need help" so hypocritically, because she really wanted help in the dispute with the machine record company, but she didn't understand how she could help the big man.

Wu Qian walked up to Taylor, bent down and picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and handed it to her, saying: "Everyone has their own energy, I'm sure you can help me, please don't be humble in this regard."

On the way back to Helios Island from Midtown, New York, Wu Qian had a better understanding of Taylor Alison's influence. The number of fans showed very scary information, so he decided to recruit the star.

The appeal of idols is terrible, and the influence on fans is also considerable. If Taylor Alison can be drawn into the camp, Wu Qian believes that it will play a huge role in the link of votes in the future!
Taylor sat back on the sofa. She felt a little strange. At first she accepted Wu Qian's invitation to come to Helios Island. She thought it was just a simple socializing, a drink and a chat about interesting things in the entertainment industry. expected.

Wu Qian did not continue to dwell on the topic of "helping", he said: "I know you have been trying to change the unspoken rules of the music industry, and want to change the imbalance between creators and the music industry, so haven't you thought about it, Be the owner of the record label yourself, the one who sets the rules?"

Be the one who makes the rules!

What a tempting sentence, but how many people in the world can do it...

The unspoken rules of an industry cannot be easily reversed by just one person.

Some people fight for the rights and interests of some people all their lives, and in the end until they dedicate their lives, it is difficult to achieve significant results. Even if he is written into the history books, the things he tried to change still have not been completely improved.

If speech is not supported by wealth and strength, it will always appear so empty and powerless!

After leaving Machine Records, Taylor Alison signed with Universal Records. The contract was valued at 5000 million U.S. dollars, becoming the singer with the second highest contract price. The first was the legacy of King Jackson, who signed a contract with [-] million U.S. dollars Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

In fact, with Taylor's wealth, it is more than enough to start a small record company by herself, but she didn't do that. There are many reasons, which are very complicated. Some resources can not be done with just a small amount of money. Yes, hundreds of millions of dollars are just a small amount of money.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, even I am in trouble. I can only use my own personal experience to influence friends around me, and influence those art workers who still insist on creating under unequal treatment. I have not empowered art workers. power, I don't have..."

Taylor Alison said with a touch of frustration.

Wu Qian took a sip of wine and said, "In the entertainment circle, your status is already very high, and in music, your achievements are also very high. You speak for a group of people, but if you want to make this project You need a higher status, am I right?"

This is indeed the case. According to the statistics of large social software, Taylor Alison has more than [-] million fans around the world. This is a terrifying number, and various music awards are also soft.

But personally, she is still subject to the regulations of the record company.

"If you don't even have the ability to resist unspoken rules, what can you do to help those art creators who have the same fate as you?"

Wu Qian said, he continued to walk back to the window, put the wine glass on the window sill, and then gently opened the window, a gentle night breeze blew into the living room, with a faint smell of sea water, the air in the room seemed to be instantly become free.

Wu Qian's words made Taylor fall into deep thought. She completely denied her previous thoughts. Wu Qian invited her to "have a drink". How irrelevant.

"Mr. Wu, I agree with your point of view very much, but..."

Taylor wanted to say, but knowing some things is useless, what is needed is the power to change the status quo, and she does not have this power.

Wu Qian turned around and said with a smile: "You can agree with my point of view, very good, if I say, I will give you a status that can change the unspoken rules, a power that can break the rules, but you must be loyal to Me, do things for me, would you like to?"

Taylor's expression froze. With a straightforward personality, she was very resistant to this feeling of being restricted, but she was also very curious about Wu Qianyue's status and power.

Wu Qian seemed to understand what Taylor was thinking. He didn't wait for the other party to ask questions, and said directly: "I don't know if you have the energy to manage a record company, such as the Universal Music you are signing now."

"watt!?"

Taylor stood up with a huff, her red lips parted round, and she looked at Wu Qian in disbelief, as if she was watching a horror movie.

Universal Music is the largest record company in the world today, ranking first among the three major record companies in the world. Founded in 1912, it has the world's largest music content library, ranging from classical to pop, from rock to jazz.

The company has many subsidiaries, including the world's three major tenors Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras, as well as Taylor Alison, Reddy Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, etc. A world-class pop superstar, he also has countless well-known Chinese singers.

According to Taylor's understanding of Wu Qian's words, the other party seems to be a senior executive of Universal Music, who has a great right to speak and can be appointed and removed within the group to a certain extent.

"Mr. Wu, I just have some very idealistic ideas. These ideas are aimed at balancing the interests of creators and music companies. I think my ideas may not be conducive to the revenue of record companies to a certain extent... "

Taylor said very frankly that her idea is to increase income for creators. If it does not increase the burden on consumers, then only the brokerage company will make it possible to realize it. It is indeed a very difficult "dream".

With a faint smile on Wu Qian's face, he looked unfathomable, he said: "Let's put those things aside and talk slowly, you haven't answered my previous question, I will help you realize your dream, you are loyal to me, this sum Deal, is it a deal?"

Looking at the smile on Wu Qian's face, Taylor felt a sense of confusion. She didn't know Wu Qian's exact age, but in her opinion, at least he would not be older than her, but when facing Wu Qian, she felt that It's like facing a deep-minded, cunning sophist.
