Chapter 40: Gambling
The unexpected came suddenly.
As a professional and experienced lawyer, Cheng Jinming instantly integrated the information flow in Ge Qingquan's words, and combined several key points, and suddenly felt a pound in his heart.
Zheng Qian's works became popular in Hong Kong and topped the RTHK song list.
Under all considerations, the operation team of Lanke Home is still very optimistic about Zheng Qian's potential and believes that Zheng Qian has the appearance of a hidden dragon.
Combined with Zheng Qian's entry into the top ten of "Singer", and there is a great possibility of winning the championship, he will also participate in the Chinese version of "American Idol" in the future......
Zheng Qian, the future is limitless!
Cheng Jinming's hands clenched suddenly, and he raised his head to look at Ge Qingquan: "Mr. Ge, I have a proposal." ”
"You say. Cheng Jinming nodded.
Cheng Jinming looked at Zheng Qian, then turned around and said, "I think we can sign a gambling agreement." ”
Ge Qingquan became interested: "How to bet?"
Cheng Jinming said: "Wait a minute, let's discuss." ”
Then he got up, left the conference room with Zheng Qian and the others, and returned after a while, Cheng Jinming said: "We can bet on Zheng Qian's ranking in the show "Chinese Idol", so that the ranking is linked to the signing fee......"
Ge Qingquan quickly understood Cheng Jinming's so-called gambling conditions.
If Zheng Qian achieves the top ten results in "Chinese Idol", each additional ranking, the signing fee will increase by one million, so as to accumulate to the top three, if Zheng Qian achieves the top three in the show, each time he improves his ranking, the overall signing fee will be doubled, that is, the guaranteed signing fee of 4 million and the ranking signing fee of 8 million, a total of 12 million, if he wins the second place, it will be doubled to 24 million, and if he gets the first place, it will be doubled to 48 million, and Zheng Qian will automatically renew the contract for two more quarters.
In other words, as long as Zheng Qian wins the first place, he can get a signing fee of 48 million, and the endorsement period will be extended to one year.
This made Ge Qingquan's brows furrow, and his legal team manager snorted coldly: "It's quite beautiful, what if you don't get the top ten?"
"If I don't get the top ten, my endorsement fee will be halved. ”
Zheng Qian took the initiative to speak.
Ge Qingquan looked at Zheng Qian and smiled: "Mr. Zheng, I am very interested in the gambling conditions you proposed. However, 48 million and 4 million are a full tenfold increase, which is too much for us to expect, and if this is the case, we can take out 48 million and find the final champion to endorse. Even at this price, we can also go to a superstar of Andy's level to endorse. ”
Zheng Qian touched his nose to hide his embarrassment, what the other party said did make some sense, when he was discussing it just now, he actually felt that this gambling agreement was not very reliable, with this nearly 50 million endorsement fee, there are many superstars in the whole country who are willing to endorse, why should people look for him?
But lawyer Cheng Jinming insisted on throwing out this condition.
According to Cheng Jinming, this is a negotiation, there is a lot of room for bargaining, throw a blank check first, and then you can bargain.
Ren Xin was a little worried that after this condition was said, the other party would throw off his hand and leave, after all, it was a big order that was finally sent to the door.
In the end, it was Lin Qianqian who made a decision: "Capital is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, since they came to us, it means that we still have cooperation value, gamble!"
In the conference room, everyone sat down again one after another, and Cheng Jinming said: "Mr. Ge, you also know how popular "Chinese Idol" is, with an investment of hundreds of millions, and the advertising placement alone is about to return to its original cost, and it is broadcast on Xiangnan Satellite TV in prime time, the publicity and distribution are all first-class, and the ratings must be extremely high, and the popularity of the top three will definitely be national, and the brands that want to cooperate with them to endorse are definitely lined up, and the most important thing is that our Mr. Zheng is fully capable of ......"
At this time, Ge Qingquan suddenly interrupted Cheng Jinming's words, picked up the teacup and took a sip, before he said slowly: "Mr. Cheng, I personally really think this gambling agreement is quite interesting, and it is quite fresh in China, so I am willing to try it." ”
"However, the content of the agreement needs to be changed. ”
Ge Qingquan knocked on the table, raised his voice and said: "The bet is divided into three stages, the first stage, if Zheng Qian can enter the top ten, but fails to enter the top three, the four million endorsement fee will be halved, the second stage, Zheng Qian can enter the top three, the endorsement fee will be doubled, and in the third stage, if Zheng Qian can get the first, the endorsement fee will be increased tenfold." ”
Cheng Jinming glanced at Lin Qianqian and the others and asked, "What if you don't make it to the top ten?"
"Then pay becomes unpaid, cancel the endorsement fee, and obliged to endorse our blue customers for two quarters. ”
Ge Qingquan regained his composure and said lightly: "Of course, I am very optimistic about Mr. Zheng's ability, and we have carefully studied Mr. Zheng's information. The top 10 is certainly not a big problem, but we would love to see Mr. Cheng finish in the top three, or even number one, which will be good for both of us. ”
Cheng Jinming frowned.
Top three?
This is too difficult, there are too many uncertainties, and if you fail to enter the top ten, you have to endorse it obligatorily......
Cheng Jinming had faintly regretted proposing the gambling agreement at this moment, and it was good to earn more than four million steadily.
Lin Qianqian also felt the difficulty, the recruitment of contestants in "Chinese Idol" is for the whole country, with a population of 1.3 billion, even if the waves are sweeping the sand, there must be more than Zheng Qian......
"How? Sign, or not?"
Ge Qingquan didn't give Zheng Qian and the others time to think, and continued to speak: "If you agree, I will let someone draft the contract." ”
"Sign!"
Zheng Qian suddenly raised his hand: "But I have a request, can I pay two million in advance?"
Ge Qingquan looked at Zheng Qian, then at Lin Qianqian and the others, and smiled: "Of course you can, then I will make the decision, pay Mr. Zheng two million endorsement fees in advance, and I also hope that Mr. Zheng can achieve good results in "Chinese Idol"!"
They have investigated Yuexiang Entertainment Company and know that the company's rental capital chain is in a tight state, so they are not surprised by Zheng Qian's proposal, and they don't care much about it, because according to their investigation, this Lin Qianqian's parents still have some ability, and their family is big, and they can fully support the operation of this company, and these two million can't run away.
Moreover, Zheng Qian's own value is enough to support this company, so they didn't expect that for Zheng Qian and others, if they didn't win this endorsement, the stormy Yuexiang Entertainment Company might collapse immediately.
If they knew, I'm afraid they would have made the conditions even harsher.
Subsequently, the two sides discussed the details of the contract, and Ge Qingquan also promised to provide free advertising operations for Zheng Qian during the competition.
He is actually very comfortable, because according to his understanding and speculation of this game, if it is a few days later, after Zheng Qian participates in the competition, all relevant endorsements must be approved by the event organizer, and in the second half of the game, even all the contracts of the players will be taken away by the user.
All of them thought of starting first, finding the potential stocks among the contestants of "Chinese Idol", regardless of whether they could go to the end, and then sign it.
