Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

"The revenue share for 'A World Without Thieves' has been received. The total box office is over 4 billion, and I received more than 2.45 billion."

After a moment's thought, he instructed Xinghai to find a smelter that he could acquire.

Since he started collecting these materials, he has accumulated over a thousand alloy formulas.

One million per box; the more money you have, the wider your path becomes.

Three days later, Zhang Qiang accompanied him to Qingshan Smelting Plant.

The acquisition was a full purchase, with a total price of over 830 million.

After several days of reorganizing the factory area, he produced the first formula.

"We'll reduce the weight by 10% and increase the tensile strength by 5%. Let's start with this for trial production."

After leaving Qingshan Factory, he returned to Mingyang, and his pace quickened once again.

Rose is releasing a new song, and Metal Storm is also releasing an album.

The Mingyang platform has a uniform price of one yuan for all songs.

Currently, the music library is limited and entirely in South Korean, so lower prices make it more appealing to users.

In the morning, I led two teams in training; in the afternoon, I refined spirit stones.

That evening, Park Hye-yeon, Park Hye-min, and Kim Hye-soo worked together to practice the Chaos Yin-Yang Divine Skill once more.

"Once their strength is more stable, I'll take them to South Korea for a special event."

"Metal Storm will release ten songs at once, followed by a domestic tour."

"A top-tier singer can easily earn tens of millions from a single concert. This group will eventually be able to reach that level too."

News of "A World Without Thieves" breaking records keeps coming in, and cooperation offers are pouring in.

Film companies want him to direct their new films, theaters are actively seeking to distribute them, and even variety show teams are approaching him to discuss becoming regular cast members.

He declined them all, as he simply couldn't find the time.

After another busy half month, Rose Group released three new songs, while Metal Storm released ten songs simultaneously.

"The tolling of the bells signaled his return home, a moment that seemed tinged with a touch of melancholy in his life..."

"Holy crap? Ming Yang really pulled out all the stops this time! He can even make old Cantonese songs sound like this, who would believe it?"

In less than three days, the ten songs went viral across the internet.

"Is there more? Please update!"

"On the Mingyang Film and Music Platform, search for 'Metal Storm'."

"Aren't there only South Korean songs? I can't even understand the lyrics."

"Now we have... ten songs in Chinese, each one of which can be played on repeat."

"My favorite is 'Glorious Years,' followed by 'Truly Love You'..."

A metal storm swept across the country, and the number of users on the Mingyang Film and Music Platform exceeded 50 million overnight.

There is only one movie on the platform... "A World Without Thieves"; there are a total of 32 songs: 12 in South Korean, 10 in Cantonese, and the rest are all tracks by Lin Quan.

It wasn't that he didn't want to make Mandarin songs; it's just that the system didn't offer this option at all. Taiwanese, American, Taiwanese... none of them were available.

Science has national boundaries, and businessmen have their place of origin, but when it comes to making money, whoever pays the bill decides. Foreigners are willing to listen and buy, and Lin Quan doesn't stop them; he even plans to find newcomers who can sing in Miyabi and Kazakhstani to take orders.

"Mr. Wu, is there something you need?" Lin Quan asked, looking up.

"President Lin, the company can't hold on any longer..." Wu Cheng's voice was dry, his hand pressed against the door frame, his knuckles turning white.

"I'll refund your deposit and the remaining rent," Lin Quan nodded.

According to industry practice, if you terminate the contract early, the deposit is refundable, but the rent is not.

谷碸

With him, the deposit must be refunded. The rent? The contract clearly states it shouldn't be refunded.

But a person's reputation matters, and a tree's bark matters. Wu Cheng's eyes were dark and his shirt collar was frayed; he didn't care about the small amount. Two million was nothing more than the price of two blind boxes for Lin Quan. He'd lend a helping hand when someone else had fallen from grace, just for peace of mind.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin! Thank you so much!" Wu Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and his shoulders relaxed.

"I'll transfer the money right away. Is three days enough?"

"Enough, enough!"

Lin Quan accessed the Xinghai Payment backend, entered the amount, and pressed confirm. Less than eight minutes later, a notification popped up on Wu Cheng's phone that 3.07 million Chinese yuan had been deposited into his account.

"Okay," Lin Quan said.

"I won't say much more. If you ever need my help, just let me know." Wu Cheng didn't linger and turned to go downstairs.

New companies are registered every day, and old companies are deregistered daily. No matter how big the brand, one wrong decision can shatter it into pieces.

Lin Quan sat at his workstation for three minutes, then dialed the administration number: "Move Metal Storm to the thirteenth floor."

The four members of the band used to be on the fourteenth floor, crammed into a corner of the Mingyang Film and Television Company. Now, only one film crew is shooting in the film and television department, leaving most of the floor empty.

The sixteenth floor of Mingyang Building: Lin Quan, Park Hye-yeon, and others' office and residence;

Fifteenth floor: Mingyang Law Firm;

Fourteenth floor: Mingyang Film and Television Company;

Thirteenth Floor: Mingyang Music Company... Currently, it only has one band, Metal Storm.

"I'll take over as the manager for Roses for now. As for Metal Storm, we need someone who can run fast and negotiate."

Ten highly popular songs propelled the band to the top of the Huangzhou popularity charts. Promotional calls poured in from all over, with promoters immediately asking about tours, private bookings, and revenue sharing.

Lin Quan didn't want to rely on luck. He had Xinghai screen for seven days and selected Zhao Yang... 42 years old, had led five bands, had never had any scandals or failed projects.

"President Lin, we're not losing out by giving away tickets for free?" Zhao Yang stared at the proposal, his brows furrowed.

"Three million per event? That's too shabby. If it's less than ten million, there's no point in even discussing it. We'll rent the venue ourselves, cover the initial investment, and recoup our costs faster than blinking an eye."

"Could you elaborate?"

"How do celebrities make money? By being recognized. All three shows are free, tickets are issued by lottery. Only registered users on the platform can participate... Those who win the lottery may not go, but those who don't are more eager to check the results on the platform." Lin Quan tapped the table. "Winners resell their tickets at a higher price, while those who don't win wait to grab them. Once the transaction records are released, we'll know exactly what the ticket prices will be for the next show."

He paused for a moment: "I've heard stories of people holding concerts with seven audience members and fourteen security guards; and others who set ticket prices at a thousand yuan but couldn't even sell tickets for ten yuan each, so they had to bring in random passersby to make up the numbers."

Metal Storm was built by his own hands. He didn't care how loud it was, but he absolutely couldn't become a laughing stock in the industry.

Zhao Yang tapped his fingers lightly twice on the edge of the table, suppressing a smile: "Where should we hold the first show?"

"Haicheng".

"The second match?"

"Chongqing City".

"The third match?"

"Huadu".

"What about Yuecheng?"

"Yuecheng is here to collect money."

Zhao Yang flew to Haicheng that afternoon to discuss the venue.

Lin Quan returned to the sixteenth floor, glanced at the six South Korean female artists practicing their voices in the rehearsal room, and then closed the door tightly.

Lin Jiancheng and Hu Xingang just sent me photos; the background is an Icelandic black sand beach. They won't be back until next month.

After lunch, Lin Quan ate with Park Hye-yeon and the others, and they helped him take a hot shower. Afterward, he went to the office and had Xinghai issue an announcement.

The announcement was concise: To thank users and fans, Mingyang Company is fully funding... Metal Storm Band's national tour, starting in Haicheng, with three free concerts; tickets will be distributed through a lottery, and winners will enter with their electronic vouchers.

Both official accounts of the Metal Storm and Rose duo are operated by Xinghai.

The next morning, Lin Quan filmed a short video of the four band members. The footage was unedited, simply recording their impromptu ensemble playing during rehearsal breaks, their jokes while tuning, and moments of them nodding to the camera. After the video was uploaded to the Mingyang Film and Music platform, a comment section and a ticketing portal were simultaneously opened.

The news quickly went viral, flooding the comments section.

"Really free? All three matches are free?"

"Even if it's exempted, it's all for nothing if I don't win the lottery."

"I'll buy it! Anyone have tickets for sale? First row, one thousand each."
