I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 27. Fighting for Jiang Chen at a sky-high price! How about I marry Jiang Chen?
Today, Liu Yujie sent someone to Xingyue Bar early to reserve a seat.

Zhao Haitang was on guard, and then he saw four familiar bosses from the same industry coming directly, so he knew that they were definitely coming for Jiang Chen.

She understood this, that colleagues are enemies.

If a singer like Jiang Chen appeared in the Mofang Bar next door, she would also try to poach him.

However, she knew that Jiang Chen had his own rules, and it was almost impossible to just throw money at him. She wanted to test it through Pu Yuexi, but the answer she got was a rejection!
While she was still figuring out a solution...

Her competitors won't wait for her.

The man in a suit at the head of the group, named Li Jian, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Haitang, I'm a fan of Jiang Chen, don't be so nervous. I can sing every song of Jiang Chen. I was watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast just now, but unfortunately I didn't finish listening to Jiang Chen's new song. So, I want to ask Jiang Chen if he can come to sing in my bar tomorrow? It's less than a hundred meters ahead, so I can finish listening to Jiang Chen's live performance."

"I don't like beating around the bush. I'll just say it directly. Ten thousand yuan a day! All the sales of roses will be given to you."

After saying that, Li Jian looked at Jiang Chen and said with a smile: "Jiang Chen, I spent more than 20,000 in your live broadcast room today."

Jiang Chen smiled back: "Thank you. However, I have not thought about singing in the bar for a long time. After I finish singing in Xingyue Bar, I may leave the Magic City. So, I think you don't need to worry about me."

After hearing this, Zhao Haitang's expression changed slightly.

She didn't want others to know that Jiang Chen was only a temporary resident singer at her place.

Sure enough, when Li Jian, Liu Yujie and others heard that Jiang Chen was only singing in the Xingyue Bar temporarily, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes. If there was no long-term contract signed with the Xingyue Bar, it would be easy to operate.

Zhao Haitang looked at Li Jian and said calmly, "Mr. Li, there is no chance for Jiang Chen to sing in your bar, right? There are only DJs and young ladies in your bar."

In this bar street, there are actually not many bars like the Xingyue Bar that have resident singers. There are only a few. Most of the bars are still brightly lit and bustling with DJs, which meets the expectations of most of the rich second-generations and young people who come here to have fun.

Sit there and listen to music and chat quietly?

Only a small number of petty white-collar workers would like such an environment.

Most people still want to come here to drink and dance to let off steam. It would be even more perfect if they could also meet a beautiful young lady or a wealthy second-generation man after that.

Li Jian smiled and said, "If it's not suitable, I can change it. As long as Jiang Chen is willing to come, I will fire the DJ tomorrow and remove all the spotlights at the scene overnight."

Liu Yujie stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li still needs to make changes, but our Mofang Bar doesn't need to make any changes. Jiang Chen, nice to see you again. I listened to your singing today and became your loyal fan. I know talented people like you have their own preferences. Since you want to travel, I invite you to sing in our bar for seven days. For seven days, I will give you 300,000 yuan in appearance fees, and all the flower sales will be given to you."

"In seven days, I will give you another car suitable for self-driving tours!"

Seven days, three hundred thousand appearance fee!
The other bosses around gasped when they heard this. More than 40,000 a day?

They can even invite some out-of-date stars to perform.

A popular internet celebrity with millions of fans comes to do a live broadcast and charges less than this price. Only internet celebrities with millions of fans can get this price.

Jiang Chen is just a new singing host with a few thousand fans. This price is absolutely sky-high compared to the number of Jiang Chen's fans and popularity.

However, after being slightly surprised, Zhao Haitang and several others did not think that the price was too high. After all, they had witnessed Jiang Chen's ability to attract fans and the loyalty of his fans with their own eyes.

The bar is packed every day and there are queues outside. The profits brought by this far exceed 40,000 a day!
Before Liu Yujie finished speaking, Zhang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is very courageous! Lao Jiang, I am also your fan and I like your music very much. I can see that your singing skills have improved compared to yesterday. You are a genius. I will join in the fun too. My bar is also next door, and its style is similar to Xingyue Bar. I don't like noise, I like to listen to music quietly."

"Jiang Chen, if you come to sing here, you will get 500,000 a week! The flower sales are also yours, and you can sing as long as you want, the price is the same. If you want to continue singing after a week, even if you want to sing for a year, I will give you this price. Twenty-six million a year!"

hiss!
This time.

All the bar owners around couldn't help but take a deep breath to suppress the shock in their hearts.

Li Jian and Liu Yujie, who had just made the offer, stared at Zhang Zhiqiang with wide eyes. The other bosses who had not spoken yet shut up. They were all frightened by Zhang Zhiqiang's price and dared not make any more offers.

Five hundred thousand a week, fifty-two weeks a year, twenty-six million!
Even if they sold their bar it wouldn't be worth that much money.

After all, their bars are rented houses and are not worth much.

The bar with the best business on their bar street only makes tens of millions a year at most. Does this mean that all the profits are given to Jiang Chen alone?
Even if the business is booming and there are queues every day, how much money can you make?
After all, the bar is only so big, and how many people can it seat when it is full? Not everyone is a wealthy person who spends money like water.

Zhao Haitang's palms were sweating from pinching his wrists.

She was afraid that Jiang Chen would agree.

After all, the price is really outrageous.

If she were in Jiang Chen's position, she would not be able to refuse this price.

The average first-tier internet celebrity can’t make that much money in a year.

According to her understanding, Jiang Chen is just an ordinary worker who came to Shanghai from Chengdu. He was laid off a few days ago and started live singing. He now lives in a 10-square-meter rental house.

However, Zhao Haitang was unwilling to lose Jiang Chen at this time, so he quickly whispered to Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, if you are willing to stay in Xingyue Bar, I will give you one-third of the shares!"

Give shares?
Liu Yujie and others looked at Zhao Haitang and found it a little funny.

Zhang Zhiqiang asked directly: "Mr. Zhao, how much is one-third of the shares of your Xingyue Bar worth? How much can you get in a year? Twenty million?" Zhao Haitang was silent.

Her Xingyue Bar had only been open for over a year, and the total profit was less than five million. Even if it was sold now, it would probably only be worth a few million at most, and the valuable part was not her bar, but the transfer fee of the shop.

One-third of the shares of a bar are not worth much at all.

But that was all she could give.

Just when a few people were trying to find a way to compete with Zhang Zhiqiang.

Jiang Chen picked up his phone and checked the time. It was already half past eight. He shook his head and said, "Everyone, it's getting late. I have to go back and rest. Thank you very much for liking my work. However, I really didn't think about singing in a bar for a long time. I came to Xingyue Bar to sing because of a friend's invitation. I will not leave."

"Please don't bother me again about this matter."

"goodbye!"

Jiang Chen said this seriously, nodded to a few people, and quickly walked towards the subway station outside.

Han Qing also nodded politely to the few people, and then followed Jiang Chen's steps and left.

Zhang Zhiqiang wanted to try again to stop Jiang Chen, but seeing Jiang Chen's quick steps, he could only watch Jiang Chen leave like the others. The price he had just offered was already extremely high, and it would be impossible for him to offer a higher price even if he stopped Jiang Chen again.

Zhao Haitang said softly: "Boss Liu, I said yesterday that Jiang Chen is not the kind of person who can be moved by money."

Liu Yujie smiled and did not argue with Zhao Haitang. He just said, "Then let's wait and see. By the way, Mr. Zhao, I will come to patronize your Xingyue tomorrow, and I will reserve a seat in advance."

After saying that, Liu Yujie turned around and left without paying any attention to the other bosses. Since they had already torn their faces apart and were competing directly, there was no need to be polite.

Li Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, I will also come to Xingyue tomorrow to listen to Lao Jiang's live performance! I watched the live broadcast today and it ended before it was finished. I didn't get enough of it."

Zhao Haitang said with a smile: "Then you better come early to reserve a seat, otherwise it will be gone if you are late!"

Although he knew that they would have bad intentions tomorrow, Zhao Haitang did not refuse them as he was opening the business, as long as they spent money to reserve a table and consume.

Zhang Zhiqiang took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll come early tomorrow to reserve a seat too!"

After Zhang Zhiqiang finished speaking, he turned around and left, feeling very unwilling.

Twenty-six million a year is the boldest investment he can make.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen still didn't agree!

Zhao Haitang returned to the Xingyue Bar and saw that it was still full. The smile on his face lasted for a second before gradually disappearing. He found Pu Yuexi who was resting backstage and preparing to leave, and asked softly, "Yuexi, what can I do to make Jiang Chen stay in the Xingyue Bar and sing for a while longer?"

Pu Yuexi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know. He has his own ideas, and they are very firm. Magic City is not his hometown, and he may not come back if he leaves."

Zhao Haitang frowned slightly and said through gritted teeth: "How about I marry him? I will give him a home in the Magic City and let him stay there! He has no house, but I do."

Pu Yuexi's eyes widened instantly, and the cup in her hand fell to the ground. She reached out and touched Zhao Haitang's forehead: "Haitang, do you have a fever?"

Zhao Haitang reached out and slapped Pu Yuexi's hand away: "I'm serious, I don't want to go back to Beijing, I want to settle down in the Magic City. Jiang Chen is handsome, talented, and can bring bonuses to my career. He is a good candidate for marriage!"

Pu Yuexi was a little speechless: "Are you considering this matter from an investment perspective?"

This was the Zhao Haitang she knew, a strong woman who looked at everything rationally, including relationships and getting married and starting a family.

This is also the reason why Zhao Haitang has never been in a relationship. She is too rational. When the investment and return are not proportional, she refuses to invest.

And now, Jiang Chen made Zhao Haitang feel that his investment would be rewarded accordingly, so he wanted to go all in and invest everything he had.

From an investment perspective, if there are good investment opportunities, the more you invest, the more you will gain in the future.

Zhao Haitang: "Why not?"

Pu Yuexi shook her head: "Then it will never be possible for you and Jiang Chen. Han Qing has been pursuing Jiang Chen but has not succeeded yet. Also, my little sister Chen Xiaojia is also interested in Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen has not expressed his feelings. You are so strong and only want to develop your career. Jiang Chen has absolutely no interest in you. Even if you are beautiful and you bring two houses, three shops and a bar as a dowry in Shanghai, Jiang Chen will not agree..."

Zhao Haitang calmed down, took a sip of water, and shook his head, "I was impulsive!"

Pu Yuexi patted Zhao Haitang on the shoulder and said, "Jiang Chen can sing here for a week, which has brought you a lot of benefits. Other bars don't have this opportunity. When the singers from Beijing come, as long as their level is not too bad, we should be able to maintain a good customer base in a short period of time. When will the singers from Beijing come?"

Zhao Haitang sighed: "Three more days!"

…………

Jiang Chen and Han Qing got on the subway smoothly.

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone and uploaded the studio version of "I'm Blown by the Cold Wind for You" to Penguin Music, and then went to the backstage to check the data.
