Rock and Roll: Glorious Years

It was 4 p.m. in China at this time.

Zhu Yan, who was working at the radio station, received a link and a document from Wang Wenhui. Ever since receiving Wang Wenhui's previous message, Zhu Yan had been carrying this phone with him at all times.

After watching Olaf's video, Zhu Yan sent the link, the file, and Wang Wenhui's contact information to Bian Lang, and briefly explained their relationship.

After watching the video, Bian Lang and Chen Shuting excitedly opened the file. After reading it, Chen Shuting began to search online to verify information about Wang Wenhui's company.

After confirming that everything was correct, she said with some regret, "This company does have the qualifications to represent Chinese music copyrights in Europe, but I feel that their past business practices are not very suitable for us."

Bian Lang's emotional thinking as a two-generation rock musician made him very fond of Wang Wenhui, who always took the lead. Moreover, the fact that they were from the same hometown naturally gave him more trust than others: "I think we can give him a try, set a deadline and a goal for him, and take back the agency rights if he fails to achieve them."

"Aren't you going to wait and see what other companies are available?" Although Bian Lang's words were almost a confirmation, Chen Shuting still asked.

"We can't wait any longer. Although our song has this much buzz right now, the companies we've approached are either wary of Goose Egg or clearly trying to make a fortune off us. They're definitely not as efficient as Wang Wenhui, who was able to find Olaf to help us generate buzz right away. His dedication and execution are on par with you, Sister Chen!"

Having said that, Chen Shuting continued, "Alright, since you've praised me so highly, I'll go find your brother-in-law to draft the contract now."

Two hours later, at 12 noon Berlin time, Wang Wenhui, who had already returned to his apartment, received a thank-you call from Chen Shuting, along with a copyright agency contract.

Although his desire for this agency rights surpassed all his previous business dealings, and his dedication was completely different, he was still very uneasy about the situation of his own company. But the moment he received the contract, he jumped up from the chair in his study, rushed to the kitchen, and took out the hometown peach blossom wine that he usually couldn't bear to drink from the refrigerator.

"Luyao, we got the authorization! Let's have a celebratory drink!"

Cai Luyao, who had drunk quite a bit with Hannah that day, was already in bed getting ready to sleep when she heard Wang Wenhui's shout. She was startled: "Really, Wenhui? How come they're moving so fast over there?"

"Rolling Stone Studios contacted me directly, and they've already sent me the contract!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Luyao, whose mind had been dominated by drowsiness, instantly lost all sleepiness, got up, put on her bathrobe, and walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing the two glasses of rose-red peach blossom wine already placed on the table, she couldn't help but chide her, "Look how happy you are. Don't drink it yet. Read the contract first so you can give them a reply."

Wang Wenhui was so happy that he was almost too excited. Only after his wife reminded him did he print out the contract, and the two of them carefully reviewed it at the dining table.

The cooperation method and profit distribution are all in accordance with industry practice, and Wang Wenhui has no objection to this. As for the condition that it must be launched on mainstream European music platforms within a week, Wang Wenhui understood it after a little thought.

"This is a test for me and the European music market. If it works out, we can probably get the licenses for these bands later." Although the time was tight and the task was heavy, Wang Wenhui felt that this challenge filled him with strength and fighting spirit.

After drinking celebratory peach blossom wine with his wife, he went into his study alone and began to formulate a plan to contract the project with Holman Company.

He didn't close his laptop until dawn, took a shower to refresh himself, kissed his still-sleeping wife, and then left with the printed proposal.

When he caught Walker outside the Hoffman Corporation building, Walker said helplessly, "Wang, I've done everything I can to help you. You know what Olaf is like..."

"Walker, I'm here today to discuss business." Hearing this, Walker chuckled, "Aren't you being a bit too greedy? I already agreed to it at the party, and it's currently going through the formalities..."

Having learned from his experience, Wang Wenhui interrupted Walker before he could finish speaking, saying, "Walker, listen to me, this isn't about the kids. I'm here for the copyright of The Rolling Stones!"

Hearing this, Walker asked in surprise, "Are you serious? You got the license from The Rolling Stones?"

"The documents are all here, the specifics..." Before Wang Wenhui could finish speaking, Walker took the documents from his hand and said, "Wang, you're a really diligent guy. I'll look at the documents when I have time, but there's an important meeting waiting for me right now. Go back and wait for my news."

After saying that, he grabbed the documents and hurried into the company building. Although he said that, Wang Wenhui didn't leave. Instead, he sat down in the coffee shop next door, ordered a hot cocoa, and started using his internet to check back for news about the Rolling Stones in China.

Although it's 3 a.m. in China, the video of Olaf being uploaded back to Bilibili by the Little Witch has sparked another wave of excitement among rock music fans on the site!

"This is the first time Aoshen has commented on Chinese rock music, right?"

"Look at his shocked expression. He must not have expected that there are so many excellent rock bands in China. But his analysis is so professional. This time, the Chinese Rock 29 did a great job. They really brought honor to China."

"Look at the capital these infighting dogs have. What is vision? What is an international perspective? Egg, let's see how you pay for your arrogance this time!"

"Cloud Village and Shrimp are probably laughing their heads off this time. I wonder how many foreigners will use VPNs to listen to the original version!"

As this netizen pointed out, both NetEase Cloud Music and Xiaomi are practically rolling in the air. This wave not only cracked off a piece of the eggshell but also netted a significant portion of the yolk. Furthermore, they've gained a considerable number of users with foreign IDs, though none are numbering in the tens of thousands. But this is a promising start, giving both music platforms hope for overseas expansion.

Especially with shrimp roe, they've moved beyond just thinking about it and have already sent a preliminary cooperation agreement to Hoffman.

Walker was in the meeting room looking at the cooperation materials distributed by the administration. Ignoring what others thought, he took out his phone and used a VPN to check out the homepage of Xiazi Music. When he saw that the song "Dye the Night Black" recommended on the homepage was written and composed by Hua Le, he clicked on it out of curiosity. After counting the number of downloads, he realized that the number 3 was followed by a five-digit number. When no one was paying attention, he secretly put on an earphone and bought and downloaded the song to listen to it.

Olaf, who was sitting next to him, saw this and leaned back, glanced at his phone screen, and then put on a playful smile.
