Chapter 49 An unexpected visit
As for Sun Fangping's concern about her child's maturity that far exceeds his peers, Sun Fangping actually deliberately looked up information, fearing that her son might be a little abnormal. In the end, she could only come to the conclusion that he was a "genius."
It’s not that there haven’t been young geniuses in history, but when such a genius appears around you, especially when it’s your own son, you feel a sense of unreality.
But after all, he is her own son, so Sun Fangping just lacks a little bit of the feeling of dependence that a mother should enjoy from her son.
Regret, but more of pride.
"Then when you go to the Grammy Awards tomorrow, I will go talk to that company." Sun Fangping followed Zhang Chen to Piaoliang, but she would not accompany him the whole time. She had a lot of things to deal with, and this was just one of them.
"Well, I have to at least take 20% of their shares, and I will inject another batch of funds into the investment company." Zhang Chen registered a venture capital company "Light" in the United States a long time ago, which is specifically used to invest in companies that have not yet risen in the United States. On the surface, a native American is in charge, and a series of equity secrets are made behind the scenes.
It can only be said that it is best to keep it secret for a while. When this company enters the eyes of Wall Street capital, Zhang Chen will basically have no chance of remaining on the list of shareholders, but he can make every penny he can. As long as he takes precautions, the possibility of being cheated can be reduced a lot.
Ultimately, it is because the United States is too overbearing. If the capital it controls in this land is too strong, it will use bandit logic to forcibly seize the rights in your hands.
"You will have to start taking on some endorsements in the future, and the list of endorsements that were previously shelved can also be taken out." Sun Fangping mentioned another job of Zhang Chen.
"We didn't take the job before because it wasn't cost-effective. Now that we're famous enough, they offer a higher price," Zhang Chen explained with a smile.
"It's good that you have your own ideas, but you should be more careful when you appear in public in the future."
"Well, although there will be more restrictions, it is still an extra income."
"By the way, remember to contact Xixi. You will be going abroad for a long time this time, so don't forget." Sun Fangping originally wanted to go back to the room to adjust to the jet lag, but suddenly turned back and reminded her deliberately.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Chen was too mature that Sun Fangping poured all her maternal love, which had nowhere to go, into Liu Yifei, so much so that she would bring Liu Yifei to live at home from time to time.
Now Liu Yifei is being raised as her daughter, so Zhang Chen automatically becomes the "brother" who needs to care about his "sister's" emotions at all times.
Zhang Chen didn't mind this, but the time difference between the two sides was 12 hours. One just woke up in the morning and the other was about to go to bed. How could they communicate?
"I see. I'll leave her a message then."
Since he had promised to do it, he had to do it. Zhang Chen went to the study, turned on the computer, and logged into the installed Penguin.
He has currently told Liu Yifei to use this chat software. After all, compared to sending emails, the advantages of real-time communication software are still very obvious.
But what I didn't expect was that the first time I used the instant messaging software to chat with Liu Yifei, I ended up doing email work.
"I'm in the United States. How is yours?" Zhang Chen didn't know what to leave in the message. Normally, they saw each other every day at school, so there was no such thing as catching up on the past. He could only talk about his daily life.
After waiting for a while and seeing that she didn't reply to the message, Zhang Chen knew that she must still be sleeping, so he just waited and wanted to go back to the room to rest and adjust to the jet lag.
But Xiao Xue said Zhou Jianhui was visiting, so Zhang Chen had to brace himself and go to the living room to greet Zhou Jianhui. "Zhang Chen, long time no see." Zhou Jianhui saw Zhang Chen coming down from upstairs and stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Zhou, why are you here this time?" After shaking hands with him, Zhang Chen directly asked him the purpose of his visit.
"I just want to tell you that you may not win the Grammy award this time. I'm afraid you will be too disappointed." Zhou Jianhui said to Zhang Chen seriously.
"I know that my competitors this year are very strong, and I have been mentally prepared for it," Zhang Chen responded.
Not to mention that he had already won the Best New Artist award among the four major categories, so he had no chance. The other three awards: Album of the Year, Single of the Year, and Record of the Year were basically won by Celine Dion, Hill, and Madonna.
As for the pop category, his nominations are basically the same as Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" and Madonna's, so the possibility of winning is much smaller. So after all the considerations, it seems that Zhang Chen can only compete for the "Best Male Pop Singer".
This is because the two strong competitors are both female singers, which gave Zhang Chen a chance to catch his breath in this year's Grammy Awards.
"Mr. Zhou, I think you came here this time not just to tell me that the probability of winning is very small?" Zhang Chen took the coffee handed to him by Xiao Xue, took a sip and then said to Zhou Jianhui.
"Haha, there is indeed something else." Zhou Jianhui smiled when he heard it, but did not directly state what it was.
Zhang Chen was curious about Zhou Jianhui's look of wanting to say something but being too embarrassed to speak.
For Warner now, its layout in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong has begun to show results. It will probably soon completely acquire Feidie and become a record company completely controlled by Warner Music Group. The company's name will also be officially changed from "Warner Feidie" to "Warner Records".
At the same time, Zhou Jianhui will also monopolize power, and his voice in the Greater China region will expand rapidly. At this time, he should be busy looking for singers and expanding the company's business.
So although it is natural for Zhang Chen, as another signed singer of Warner, to attend the Grammy Awards, it is reasonable for Warner to coordinate some things, but it is still a bit of a high profile for Zhou Jianhui, the helmsman of Greater China, to come in person.
After all, last year was Zhang Chen's first time to attend the Grammy Awards, and Zhou Jianhui's position was not stable. Now that his position is stable, and Zhang Chen is participating for the second time, there is no need for him to follow his singers to the awards ceremony.
"Mr. Zhou, let's just be frank. I haven't adjusted to this jet lag yet." Zhang Chen felt that it was not a good idea to waste time like this. He had just got off the plane and was indeed a little tired.
"Hahaha, look at me, I forgot you still have to adjust to the jet lag. It's really my fault." Zhou Jianhui smiled embarrassedly.
Zhang Chen didn't believe that he had really forgotten. He would rather believe that Zhou Jianhui deliberately picked the moment when he was tired to launch a surprise attack and make him make a decision when his mind was not clear.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen instantly perked up and planned to listen to what Zhou Jianhui was doing.
