Actor: Thank you.

"Whatever you want to eat, just order it."

Zhang Yuan pushed a menu with a satin cover in front of Yang Mi.

Yang Mile took it happily.

This chick from the capital city has good taste.

Take a look at the decoration of this place and the way the service staff are dressed.

The waiters all wore custom-made clothes. Although the brand could not be seen, the clothes were tied straight and the material was obviously good.

Yang Mi then realized that this place was not cheap.

"It's so expensive. You must have wasted your money." She opened it and took a look.

The recommended dish on the homepage is Didu Huangtanzi.

It is a dish similar to Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is considered a soup. It is cooked with chicken oil, so its color is golden.

This is why there is a distinction between men and women.

The food for women is mainly for nourishing yin and beauty, including fish lips, fish maw, bird's nest, pigeon eggs, etc.

The men's ones are mainly used for strengthening yang and replenishing qi, and include sea cucumbers, skirt edges, abalone, shark fins, etc.

In fact, it is just selling a pie, and the taste mainly depends on the soup stock.

Yang Mi had never eaten it before, and just wanted to try it when he looked at the price.

1999, one serving per person, almost turning the century.

Is it so costly to nourish yin and beautify the skin?

"Go ahead and order. The minimum charge for the private room here is 5000 per person." Zhang Yuan added helplessly when he saw her hesitation.

Among those who come here, only a few pay for their own meals like him.

Shop owners have to try their best to make money.

"Jia Jie, look, Zhang Yuan invited us to such an expensive place."

"You are very sincere." Yang Mi turned and glanced at Zeng Jia.

Zhang Yuan told Yang Mi when he contacted her.

I would like to discuss cooperation matters in depth with Zeng Jia.

The few of them had met several times before.

They are all in courtyards.

That's his home, so it must be kept confidential.

This time we are outside, so we chose such a secure place.

This was to prevent the news of their discussion from leaking out.

Zhang Yuan’s idea is actually very simple.

If Huayi can poach my people, I can also poach others!
Zeng Jia's contract with Rong Xingda will expire in one or two months.

Like Yang Siwei, she was also brought up by a top female agent in the entertainment industry.

Li Xiaowan certainly hopes that she can renew her contract and continue to stay with him.

But there is a reason why Rong Xingda is called a star training class.

Li Shaohong is so stingy.

People strive to move up, and when they become capable, they naturally want a higher income.

If I call you Master, you will have to eat me for the rest of your life.

Rong Xingda is discussing contract renewal with her.

But he never gave her conditions that completely satisfied her.

And she was not only in contact with Zhang Yuan.

We are in secret contact with many brokerage companies and entertainment companies.

But she is still different from Yao Cheng.

His contract is about to expire and he is looking for the next buyer.

Although in the entertainment industry where master-disciple relationships are particularly important, job-hopping has a bit of the meaning of "betraying the master."

But from a business and contractual perspective, it is completely reasonable and legal.

Zeng Jia is now in a situation where he is looking for a better job while still having a job.

While they were discussing it outside, things at home hadn't completely fallen out yet, so they just dragged it on.

In case nothing works out outside, I can still live in harmony with Li Xiaowan as a master and disciple for a few years.

Why did Zhang Yuan look for her?

First of all, a good teacher produces good students.

She and Yang Siwei are both disciples of famous female agents, so they can be of equal level.

Otherwise, the difference in strength is too great and it would be a waste of time.

Another point is very important.

Taking down Zeng Jia is actually equivalent to taking down Yang Mi!

It's not an appropriate description.

Yang Mi should be the woman closest to Liu Xiaoqing after Fan Bingbing.

Of course, both of them failed because of the same problem.

But Yang Mi is indeed the strongest female star after Fan Bingbing.

She is also a career-oriented person and a representative figure of hard workers in the entertainment industry.

Liu Xiaoqing is the most powerful and ruthless female lead.

Fan Bingbing is slightly weaker.

Yang Mi is even weaker.

But only relatively weakly.

Compared with ordinary female artists, Yang Mi is definitely a ruthless person, the kind of ruthless person who doesn't consider herself a human being.

Although there are some awkward scenes, she has the reputation of being the queen of bad movies.

But he was able to shoot four movies at the same time and only slept in the car and on the plane while on the road.

After the drip, I continued to work.

I did this for five or six years, but I didn't show off my wealth like those female artists did later, or do a lot of performance art.

She is ruthless, but she can also make money.

And there is an even simpler truth.

Such a "ruthless person" is the queen of traffic.

It is to become your own person and help yourself make money.

Or become an opponent and compete with your subordinates for limited resources.

Even an elementary school student can tell which is better.

During the contact, Zhang Yuan also discovered the characteristics of Yang Mi.

She is smart, clever, and has a complicated mind.

She is a woman with a very active mind, a sharp brain and strong opinions.

But on the other hand, she is a person who is very dependent on others.

These are the two more divided sides of her character.

But human nature is strange and hard to explain.

Otherwise, she would not have cooperated with Zeng Jia for a long time, but she didn't know that the other person had been guarding against her and treating her as a cash cow.

Many people think that Yang Mi is the boss of Jiaxing.

In fact, the relationship between her and Zeng Jia is a bit similar to the relationship between a manufacturing company and its sales champion.

She thought that she had worked so hard to make money over the years and had taken the company public, so she must be the hero and the person closest to the boss.

But she still read little history.

After any dynasty becomes stable, it will first kill its meritorious officials to offer sacrifice to heaven.

In the end, Jiaxing became Zeng Jia's private property.

Besides herself, the shareholders are her assistant and relatives.

Yang Mi's shareholding ratio was diluted by half by the other party using various means.

After all, she wasn't as smart as she thought.

And since Zhang Yuan planned to use Zeng Jia, he had to hold back.

After all, Zeng Jia’s greatest asset is actually Yang Mi.

If there is no Yang Mi, it would be like Hua Jie without Shuang Bing and Li Xiaowan without Zhou Xun, just an ordinary agent.

Therefore, when Zhang Yuan contacted Zeng Jia, he started with Yang Mi.

He has been in frequent contact with Yang Mi recently, and has also mastered the skills.

This girl, the more you ignore her, the more excited she becomes.

Women are different from men.

For women, especially young girls with little emotional experience, having physical contact and not having physical contact are two completely different things.

Even if they didn't achieve "penetration", Zhang Yuan had physical contact with her.

Since then, this guy has become a lot more clingy.

Send him messages often.

At first, he really didn't have time to pay attention to her.

After all, I’m busy with work, and there are more fish in the pond than I can catch them all.

But Zhang Yuan gradually discovered that he would run away after chatting with her for five or six sentences, but this girl would come to "harass" him actively every day.

Some people may have experience of raising cats.

It's the kind of cat that will run away if you hold it or pet it.

If you ignore it, it will come and touch you.

It's a bit like this situation.

I thought I was a good player, but actually my level was not very high.

So he thought that he could use the relationship between Yang Mi and himself to check and balance Zeng Jia.

On the other hand, you cannot treat others unfairly.

It will also help her suppress Zeng Jia.

This will form a pincer attack and achieve a balance.

After all the dishes were served, the three of them began to eat and chat.

Zhang Yuan and Zeng Jia talked a lot, all about work.

Especially his experience going to Hollywood.

After hearing that Zhang Yuan was about to join the second Hollywood team, Yang Mi showed a look of envy and admiration.

Then he asked in a sly voice.

"How much is the pay?"

"The first one was 100 million, and the second one was 150 million, both in US dollars," Zhang Yuan said bluntly.

In fact, I said it on purpose for Zeng Jia to hear.

"Wow, your two dramas combined make 250." Yang Mi exclaimed.

“You’re only 250!”

"Oh, I said it." After hearing the remuneration, Yang Mi looked at Zhang Yuan and felt that he looked even more handsome.

Zhang Yuan has been in contact with her a lot recently.

In fact, she also realized that the other party seemed to be deliberately paying attention to her and sometimes ignoring her.

She also thought about leaving the other person alone for a few days out of anger.

But I can't help but contact you.

And on average there are three to five days a month when I dream about playing with Zhang Yuan.

She even had to use a hair dryer to blow dry the sheets.

So when she heard that Zhang Yuan also had a strong intention to recruit Zeng Jia to join, she hurriedly began to do ideological work for her agent.

This was her original plan, and now it just happened.

Speak all the good things about Zhang Yuan.

But Zeng Jia was still hesitating.

First, Zhang Yuan is a moody person. Who knows, one day he might do something against CCTV again. My heart can’t bear it.

In addition, he and Hua Yi had just had a disagreement, and Yao Cheng also ran away.

She originally thought that it would be good if she could become Yao Cheng's agent.

But now that he is gone, and Zhang Yuan has never been her first choice, she becomes even more conflicted.

But Xiao Mi kept blowing the wind and saying good things.

She couldn't help asking several times.

"Are you with him?"

I thought to myself, you wouldn’t have slept with him, right?
And Yang Mi's answer made her feel that something was wrong.

She replied not "no" but "not yet".

That means she has this intention.

She understood that Yang Mi's upper body was directed towards her and his lower body was directed towards Zhang Yuan.

This is even more troublesome.

Even if I don't come, but Yang Mi is abducted by her, I will be at a loss!
"Ms. Zeng." Halfway through the meal, Zhang Yuan raised his glass solemnly.

"Today, here, I solemnly invite you to join my team."

"We can discuss any conditions and ideas."

"Now there are no outsiders, so you can speak freely."

He acted in a humble and generous manner.

Yang Mi immediately chimed in: "Yes, Sister Jia, you can say anything."

"Zhang Yuan is so generous."

Zhang Yuan gave Yang Mi a gentle, approving look, which made her feel sweet in her heart.

"Yeah." Zeng Jia didn't comment, just nodded slightly and said slowly: "I want to know the specific personnel situation on your side now."

"Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, Song Jia, Zhu Yawen, Zhang Tianai, Wan Qian, Jiang Xin and Zhao Liying." He listed all the members of his team in detail.

Ning Hao is the director and is not under the management of the artist's agent, so he didn't say anything.

Zeng Jia counted and found that there were nine artists in total, which was actually a considerable number.

It is a miracle that he can support so many people on his own.

"Do you have an agent now?"

"Correct."

"If I join your team, which artists will I be responsible for?"

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly.

This person is quite professional and hit the nail on the head.

This question is the key to her work and her earnings.

"I will give you the management of Zhang Tianai, Wan Qian and Zhao Liying."

These three are young female generals and are not very famous.

Handing over these three people will not have much impact on Yang Siwei's income, so as to avoid her being resentful.

Moreover, the people he left for Yang Siwei were all talented actors with great acting skills.

The three that have been grouped together are all in the early stages now, and they all have good images and are of the same type.

It is also convenient to hand it over to the same agent.

"Who is Zhao Liying?" Zeng Jia asked puzzledly.

She had done her homework in advance and knew Zhang Tianai and Wan Qian.

"He's a newcomer. I just poached him from Huayi."

Zeng Jia was speechless for a while.

Yao Cheng was poached away, and you poached someone I've never even heard of.

That’s a huge loss!
In fact, it is not certain who will suffer the most losses.

Zeng Jiayi discussed the issue.

These three...are not as good as Yang Mi who is staring at Zhang Yuan eagerly.

The condition that Li Xiaowan offered me was that after the contract renewal, I would take full control of Chen Kun’s business affairs, and I would continue to lead Yang Mi.

The three of you combined are not as good as Yang Mi.

If I come to your side, won’t it be like Wang Xiaoer’s New Year, which gets worse every year?
"I see..." Zeng Jia was a real estate agent after all, so she wasn't so blunt in her words and deeds.

Even if he was dissatisfied, he did not show it on the spot.

Even if it's for this private room and the table full of food, I can't just turn my face away on the spot.

But she had lost interest.

I drew a big cross in my mind for Zhang Yuan.

But just as she was planning how to negotiate with the other companies.

Zhang Yuan threw out his chips.

That is what he and Cheng Hao said, an offer that the other party cannot refuse.

"In addition to the three above, I will also provide you with an agency contract for one more person."

"Whose?" Zeng Jia was curious, but recalling the recent news.

It seems that Zhang Yuan hasn't heard that any big shot is coming.

But she and Yang Mi soon widened their eyes.

Because they both saw that Zhang Yuan pointed his finger at themselves.

"mine!"

Just these two words, although spoken softly and slowly, exploded in Zeng Jia's ears like thunder.

"your?"

From Cheng Hao, to Bao Qiang and the others, and then to Yang Siwei, they all forgot one thing.

He is the boss of the company.

But at the same time, he is also the highest-paid artist in the company!

He was willing to be killed and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

In fact, when a crisis occurs, it can be both a danger and an opportunity.

And now, Zhang Yuan put his most important asset, himself, on the negotiating table.

Zhang Yuan seldom gambles, but when it comes to gambling, no one dares to bet more than him.

"I will sign you to a three-year contract."

"In the next three years, you will handle all my activities as an artist, including film contracts, business, endorsements, and events."

"You can get 3% of my profit as your income."

When Zeng Jia heard the number 3%, he thought it was too little.

But when I thought about it, I found that it was not right!
Zhang Yuanguang’s film pay so far this year has reached 250 million US dollars!
Converted into Chinese currency, it is equivalent to 2000 million!

Just for this part of the film remuneration, 3% is 60!
This does not include his business and endorsement income.

Adding up his total income, this share is enough for him to easily make a million dollars a year!

Zeng Jia recalled the conditions given by her master Li Xiaowan.

Compared with Zhang Yuan, Kun Kun is just a chicken!
There were three people tied together in front, and they were no match for Yang Mi.

But now even if Chen Kun and Yang Mi were tied together, they would still be no match for Zhang Yuan!

For a contract like this, let alone three years, it’s best to sign it for life!

Three years... Zeng Jia repeated the numbers on both sides and suddenly realized.

She understood why Zhang Yuan set the contract term at three years instead of one or two years.

Zeng Jia looked at Yang Mi beside her.

There are still three years left in Xiao Mi and Rong Xingda’s contract!
He was determined to get Yang Mi and me, and he wanted to bring us to the company.

When Yang Mi came, he got away and handed Yang Mi's contract to himself.

Similarly, if Yang Mi didn't come, he would have to pack up and leave as well.

Smart people will understand without any explanation; they will understand just by thinking about it.

Seeing that she understood, Zhang Yuan continued speaking.

"But I have conditions."

"The three artists other than me will all have performance targets under you."

"If you can't finish it, you won't get my share."

I can give the money, but it's not so easy to take.

"I understand!" Zeng Jia gritted her teeth.

She understood Zhang Yuan's ambition.

Not only does he want to eat himself, he also wants to eat Yang Mi.

There are risks, and they are not small.

After all, it’s not easy to lead newcomers.

But the temptation is too great!

Not to mention the profit sharing.

The title of Zhang Yuan's agent alone was enough to fascinate her.

Even if you leave one day, if you change jobs using this gimmick, your salary will skyrocket.

Zeng Jia now looks at Zhang Yuan with a more passionate look than Yang Mi... (End of this chapter)
