A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After listening, Su Fan immediately said, "Okay."

Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment.

He had prepared a lot to say about copyright, fees, and cooperation methods, and was even prepared to bargain, but the other party only said two words: "Okay."

That was so satisfying.

Uncle Qi chimed in, "Xiao Fan, don't give me face. Just talk things out as you see fit. If you're unsure about business matters, you can ask someone to help you negotiate."

Qi Tongwei's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "You really are my uncle!"

Su Fan laughed and said, "Uncle Qi, we need to understand that my original purpose in creating the song was to attract customers to the bar. Now that the goal has been achieved, the rest is just icing on the cake. Since the authorities need it, I certainly have no objection."

Qi Tongwei felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. He said, "That's true, but given how popular these two songs are, major entertainment companies will definitely come knocking on our door. The conditions they offer will certainly not be low. How about this, we sign a temporary authorization first, and then we can renegotiate a formal contract after you sign with a company."

Qi Tongwei's words were already quite sufficient.

In principle, obtaining a long-term license in one go is both convenient and reliable.

However, Qi Tongwei did not take advantage of the situation; instead, he put himself in Su Fan's shoes and considered her needs.

In case Su Fan signs with an entertainment company in the future, having this official contract in hand will give him an extra bargaining chip during negotiations.

Su Fan, however, seemed indifferent: "Director Qi, there's no need for that. These are two separate matters. Let's just sign the official version."

Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment: "But this might not be the best solution for you, what if in the future..."

Su Fan interrupted him: "I'll say it again: the initial goal has been achieved, and everything else is just icing on the cake."

What Su Fan didn't say was that official endorsement is much more reliable than entertainment companies. If you can get in touch with the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, who would still care about those entertainment companies?

But those present clearly didn't think that way. In their view, signing with an entertainment company, releasing albums, and appearing on shows were the proper way out. No matter how high the official licensing fee was, it couldn't compare to the resources in the entertainment industry.

Now, Qi Tongwei felt even more guilty: "Well, Xiao Fan, I thank you on behalf of the organization, but don't worry, I will definitely fight for the greatest benefit for you."

Su Fan waved his hand: "No need, the license for this song is free."

The café was silent for two seconds.

All three people looked at him at the same time.

Uncle Qi's hand, holding the coffee cup, froze in mid-air.

The equation is gaping open.

Qi Tongwei doubted that he had misheard.

"Free?" Qi Tongwei repeated.

Su Fan nodded: "Yes, it's free."

Qi Tongwei was completely dumbfounded.

He had done his homework before coming. Given the current popularity of these two songs, the licensing fee would be at least six figures. He was prepared to apply for special funds from his superiors and even thought about how to explain the necessity of this budget to the finance department.

They said it was free.

This is like going to a restaurant, ordering a table full of dishes, and then the owner says it's on the house when you pay the bill.

This unexpected windfall left Qi Tongwei with a sense of unreality.

Su Fan looked at the three of them and said, "I know you're curious why I did this. I can only say that while you may seem to have gained something, I definitely haven't lost anything."

Qi Tongwei stared at him for two seconds, but couldn't find any flaws in his face.

At this moment, Uncle Qi said, "Although I don't know what you're thinking, this is a great thing for Dawei. I won't say more. If Xiao Fan and his brother encounter any problems in Sichuan Province and need any help, just let me know."

Su Fan said, "You guys go ahead with your work, I'll find somewhere to upload the song."

After Su Fan left, the coffee shop was quiet for a while.

Qi Tongwei stared at the doorway, still feeling it was all too real: "Uncle, is that really the decision? It feels like a dream."

Uncle Qi leaned back in his chair, deep in thought: "I'm getting more and more curious about what this kid is really planning."

Fang Cheng chimed in, "Xiao Fan has his reasons for doing things. Today, an entertainment company called him, and he refused without even thinking about it. Although I don't know what he's up to, he doesn't make decisions without a reason."

"An entertainment company?" Qi Tongwei turned his head. "Which one?"

Starry Sky Entertainment.

Qi Tongwei raised an eyebrow. He thought that at most some small and medium-sized companies would come, but he didn't expect it to be Xinghan, which is one of the top companies in the country.

"Then why didn't he agree?"

Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment: "He said that company is related to the bar next door."

Uncle Qi interjected, "You mean Wang Hai's older brother, Wang Chuan?"

Fang Cheng was taken aback: "Uncle Qi, you know?"

Uncle Qi nodded: "The one who wanted to take over your shop was Wang Hai. He has an older brother named Wang Chuan, who I heard works as an agent in an entertainment company."

Only then did the equation connect the events before and after, revealing an unexpected connection.

"Then he came to find Xiao Fan..."

The equation was only halfway through its explanation when it was abruptly stopped.

Qi Tongwei continued, "They probably admire Xiao Fan's talent, but we can't rule out the possibility that they want to control him."

Uncle Qi reminded him, "Those two brothers surnamed Wang are very cunning, so you should be careful. But don't worry too much, they're shrewd and won't suffer a loss."

After saying that, he turned to Qi Tongwei and said, "Also, if that Wang guy tries anything funny, you should help him out."

Qi Tongwei nodded: "Don't worry, Xiao Fan has helped me so much, I definitely won't watch him get pushed into a fire pit."

Fang Cheng felt a little more at ease after hearing this, but he still had an inexplicable unease.

At the same time, on the other side of the city.

Wang Chuan, who had been rebuffed by Su Fan, was reporting the matter to Shen Yi'an.

Wang Chuan is Shen Yi'an's agent.

Shen Yi'an is a well-known artist in the entertainment industry.

Besides being an entertainer, he also does some business with the two Wang brothers.

Among them is a bar located on Yulin Road.

They've been planning this for a while now on Yulin Road, aiming to turn that area into a bar street and attract investment from people in the industry.

Once this network of relationships is established, Shen Yi'an's status in the industry will definitely rise accordingly.

That's why there was the scene at the tavern where they suppressed Fang Cheng earlier; the purpose was to make him back down.

After Wang Chuan finished speaking, Shen Yi'an asked, "You mean, that guy surnamed Su doesn't care about you?"

"Yes, he didn't give me a chance to speak at all."

Shen Yi'an leaned back on the sofa and tapped his fingers lightly on his knee twice: "You're really young and impetuous. Whether you can sign the contract or not is a small matter. We must get the copyrights to those two songs."

Wang Chuan nodded: "I will arrange that."

Shen Yi'an instructed, "The bar street project also needs to be expedited. I've already talked to most of my friends in the industry, and now I'm just waiting for you to clear the road."

Wang Chuan hesitated before saying, "That guy surnamed Su is currently very popular, should we wait until this hype dies down before...?"

Shen Yi'an interrupted him: "Wait? Wait until he gets signed by another company before making a move? Or wait until he sells the copyright to someone else before regretting it?"

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
