Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 160: Crazy Recruiting
Hongdu Normal University, Art Class.

Sixteen-year-old Yang Gangli was practicing vocal music in the classroom when she saw Teacher Li, who had just been called out by the director, hooking her finger at her with a mysterious look. "Yang Gangli, come over with the teacher."

"Forehead."

Yang Gangli thought she had made some mistake, so she obediently followed the teacher to the director's office.

There were a lot of people in the office.

Three of them didn't look like school teachers.

"Are you Yang Gangli?" The oldest of the three people was an employee poached by Xinghai from Warner. His surname was Chen, and his name was Chen Sheng. He was Chen Xing's cousin. When he heard the footsteps, he looked over with a scrutinizing look.

In an instant, my eyes lit up.

Well, it does look good.

Standard sweet style.

No wonder Mr. Huang personally named him.

"It's me!" Yang Gangli nodded.

"Ok!"

Sweeter!
This sound is sweet.

She has the potential to be like Teresa Teng!

Chen Sheng admired Huang Ze more and more. This girl, with her looks and voice, even if her singing skills were not good, she had the potential to become famous just based on these two points.

What is lacking is resources.

Besides, I heard that they are going to form a group, so singing skills are even less important. After all, it's normal for a group to have one or two people just for show.

Feeling relieved, Chen Sheng continued to ask, "Can you sing a song for me?"

"Teresa Teng's." As soon as the words came out, cousin Chen Xing added a qualification.

"Ah?" Yang Gangli looked at her teacher.

"just sing."

In the past few years, Teresa Teng’s songs were still banned, but gradually the control was not so strict. For example, a singer sang Teresa Teng’s "Returning to My Mother’s Home" on the 84 Spring Festival Gala.

Later, I became more open.

As Yang Gangli studied music, she could sing many of her songs. When she cleared her throat, a song from a tape she had just bought recently immediately came to her mind: "I Only Care About You".

"If I hadn't met you, where would I be?"

"How are your days going? Should we cherish our lives?"

After singing a song, Chen Sheng was completely fine. He smiled and asked, "Do you know Huang Ze?"

"Yes! Almost everyone who studies music knows him. I often listen to his songs."

"We are employees of his Hong Kong Island Records Company! We are here to sign a contract with you to develop your career in Hong Kong Island. Strictly speaking, we are preparing to develop you into an English singer and eventually promote you to the world."

"Just like Huang Ze, he became famous all over the world."

"And for your first album, Huang Ze will write the songs for you personally."

"As for whether our information is genuine or not, I think your school can still trust it. They immediately contacted Hong Kong Island through their connections and have already investigated."

"It's true." The United Front staff who followed over nodded.

"But I don't know how to sing English songs! My English level is just average among middle school students, barely passing the exam."

"That's enough." Chen Sheng nodded. "We will hire someone to give you English training and provide an English speaking environment. This is something we should consider. What you should consider now is to call your mother over so that we can discuss your contract."

"Mom." Yang Gangli felt a pain in her heart.

My father, an electrician, died shortly after I was born.

My mother was a textile worker who raised two children, myself and my sister, and never remarried. She lived a very hard life.

"If I sign, how much will I be paid?" "Food and lodging provided, monthly salary of 1,200 US dollars."

"Booo!" The whole office was shocked.

The eyes of the teachers in the school were full of disbelief.

Did I hear this wrongly?
One thousand two hundred dollars a month?
Many of them who are teachers can’t even earn 120 RMB a month!

According to the black market exchange rate, doesn't it mean that this student in front of me can earn ten years of my salary in one month?
One day is equivalent to three months of hard work.

This, this world.

They no longer knew what to say.

Speechless.

Chen Sheng knew that everyone would be shocked, so he kept a calm expression. He had a similar expression when he first knew this number.

This is not poaching. Is it necessary to pay such a high salary to an unknown person?
It was only when I thought of the person I dug in Neon that I understood.

After all, Japan's economy is quite developed. Its per capita GDP last year was twice that of Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island's was more than 7,000 US dollars, while Japan's was more than 17,000, more than double. Not to mention that Japan's economy seems to be growing even faster than Hong Kong Island.

The average salary of a white-collar worker in Hong Kong is about 4,000 to 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you think about it this way, spending 1,200 US dollars a month to recruit a Japanese person is not that expensive.

Maybe they don’t earn as much as others do now, and it is possible that they have to rely on their musical dreams to accept this salary.

I think Mr. Huang was worried that when the two people compared their salaries, they would feel uncomfortable, so it would be better to give them the same salary but not too big of a difference, so he made this offer.

"Ah? How much is this?" Yang Gangli felt that the number was a bit big, but she had no idea what it was exactly.

"According to the official exchange rate, it's nearly 5,000 yuan. At the black market exchange rate," Yang Gangli's teacher glanced at the director and the others, and then said, "It might be 10,000 yuan."

"Five thousand a month?" Yang Gangli's eyes widened. "Is that true?"

"of course it's true."

"Then I'll sign it now."

"Maybe your parents will have to come over. You are too young, and you need a guardian's signature." Chen Sheng said with a smile.

……

Compared to Yang Gangli, Kamachi Sachiko's side is much simpler.

She is already twenty years old and can make her own decisions.

Although the salary offered by the other party was not much, when he thought about what the other party said, that he was personally selected by Jerry Huang, and that the other party would personally produce songs for him and release them to the world in two or three years.

I have to say, she was moved.

I thought of the lyrics and music I usually write, and my musical dreams.

Thinking about my current job, reception in a real estate company, it cannot be said to be unrelated, but it can only be said to be completely irrelevant.

Without giving it much thought, she signed her name after paying a lawyer to verify the authenticity of the contract. After signing the contract, those people told her that the company also gave her a stage name, which was said to be given by Jerry Huang himself.

Her name is Izumi Sakai.

……

Both groups of people went very smoothly.

But Huang Ze doesn't know yet.

Because at this time he was not in Hong Kong Island, but in the United States, New York.

Since they had already started recruiting people and were preparing to let Xinghai Records release an English album in two years, Huang Ze was ready to poach him all at once.

Apart from this boss, Xinghai Records has no international fame. If you want to launch a group, Warner may not think you have the ability to do so.

Huang Ze planned to launch a singer before this to let Warner Records know his strength.

I am not only good at writing songs myself, I am also good at praising others!
Of course, if you want to promote someone, you have to find someone with talent. Huang Ze followed his memories from his previous life and asked someone to find a backup singer for rhythm and blues singer Brenda K. Starr.
