After hearing Chen Geng's conditions, Yamada Zhuoji was actually secretly relieved in his heart, because in his opinion, Chen Geng's conditions were not harsh at all.

This time and that time!

Previously, Chen Geng begged the Dongying banking industry to lend money to him, and begged the Dongying industry to sell equipment to him, while the Dongying industry relied on this business to make a name for itself in the world, and everyone relied on this cooperation to get what they needed.

But now the situation is different, in Wolfsburg's blockade of Fernandez has long become a nominal existence, before said to cooperate with Wolfsburg Automobile major European automobile production line integrators have lowered their eyebrows and said that they are very happy to cooperate with Fernandez, and the current situation is that Dongying industry begged Chen Geng to purchase their own equipment.

From being begged by others before to begging now, the relationship is completely upside down, Chen Geng took this opportunity to put forward some conditions that are completely normal, and Yamada Zhuoji even privately thinks that Chen Geng's conditions are generous enough.

But since Chen Geng is easier to speak...... It seems that a gentleman can be deceived by him?!

Regardless of whether it was good or not, Takuji Yamada decided to make a small test: "Chen Jun, that's the case, after all, the loan is provided by our bank in Dongying, and the subsidy for interest is also borne by our Dongying enterprise, so in terms of the specific equipment procurement ratio, can we set a ratio?"

Since the loan is provided by Dongying Bank, this preferential treatment still has to be given, but Chen Geng knows too well the ability of the little devil to climb along the pole, and does not give Yamada Zhuoji a chance to climb along the pole, Chen Geng paid Yamada Zhuoji to Rosemary: "You can talk to Miss Rosemary about the specific details." ”

........................

Throwing this matter to Rosemary, Chen Geng didn't care, but just told Rosemary that in addition to pulling Dongying people and people from Huaxia First Heavy Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Corporation together to talk, and the equipment procurement share that Dongying people can get must not exceed 60%, the money for the acquisition of the Cleveland Browns team this time must also be taken out of the little devil's bag.

As for whether Rosemary can do it, Chen Geng has no doubt at all, as one of the best professional managers in the United States, if Rosemary can't even do this little thing, she doesn't deserve to take such a high salary and dividends from herself......

Well, he's entertaining guests.

The guests were Chen Geng's old acquaintances, the Carpenter brothers and sisters.

Looking at Karen Carpenter, whose complexion was obviously much better and her whole person was plumped, Chen Geng hugged her happily: "Karen, your complexion looks much better." ”

"Yes, I also feel that my current state is much better," Karen Carpenter was also very happy to hear Chen Geng's words: "Compared with half a year ago, I feel like I am 20 years old again." ”

Only after losing it did I know how valuable those things I didn't care about, or didn't notice, such as health, Karen Carpenter, who used to take mild laxatives for a long time in order to control her weight, now combines her own experience in many interviews and TV shows, and strives to instill a value in American girls: health is the best beauty, and there is no beauty more perfect than a healthy life - of course, for the magic of oriental medicine, especially "food therapy" This new treatment is even more popular.

Although the Carpenter brothers and sisters chatted about some interesting things that happened during their interviews from time to time during the chat, Chen Geng could still find that the emotions of the two brothers and sisters did not seem to be very high, this is not good, the Carpenter brothers and sisters have an irreplaceable role in their own planning, this is not good.

Touching his chin, Chen Geng simply asked directly, "Richard, Karen, you two should not have come here today just to chat with me, right?"

“......”

Richard Car's friend and Karen Carpenter glanced at each other, and both siblings were a little embarrassed.

They came to find Chen Geng, of course, not only to chat with Chen Geng, speaking of which, both of them are big stars in the United States, even if they can't be regarded as superstars now, but they are also first-line big stars, as long as they want, their work schedule can be full of 24 hours a day, how can there be so much spare time to chat with people?

Sure enough, something!

I'll just say, these brothers and sisters are so idle, Chen Geng said with a smile: "If the two of you encounter any problems or troubles, you might as well tell me." ”

"It's not troublesome," Karen Carpenter hesitated for a moment, finally spoke, and said to Chen Geng with some embarrassment: "That's the case, we found that in recent years, the people don't seem to like our music, and we have tried some styles, but whether it is our previous style or our current style, it seems that we can't please the fans, and some music critics have a bad evaluation of us......"

So that's it!

Chen Geng knew why the brother and sister came to him: this pair of brothers and sisters had encountered a career bottleneck!

In fact, it has not been a day or two since the Carpenter siblings encountered a bottleneck in their careers.

In the early and mid-70s, the "carpenter brothers and sisters" composed of the Carpenter brothers and sisters were undoubtedly a banner and representative of the American pop music scene and the world pop music scene, but since the mid-70s, with the development of the times, the public's personality preferences for music have also begun to change, and the style that was previously accepted and liked by the public, that is, the style that the Carpenter brothers and sisters are good at, has undergone earth-shaking changes all of a sudden.

The change came so suddenly that the Carpenter siblings were completely unprepared, and when they found out that they were suddenly not liked by the public, the brothers and sisters panicked. As we said before, Karen Carpenter almost lost her life by taking laxatives for a long time in order to keep in shape, and the reason why she wants to keep in shape is actually caused by this anxiety.

Someone said, since the style of the songs you write yourself is not liked by the public, and you can't write songs in a style that can be accepted and liked by the public, stupid, why don't you just ask those musicians for songs?

Things are not so simple, the biggest problem is that the "carpenter brothers and sisters" take the path of the band, the band, according to the tradition of this era, since you play in the band, then the songs sung by the band must be composed by the band members, not only the carpenter brothers and sisters, the Beatles, the Beetles, the spear flowers...... Whether it's a band that can be named or not, one of the things that everyone takes for granted is that as long as you play in a band, the band's songs must be written by yourself!

During the concert, you can sing some songs by other singers and bands that have been licensed, but the album you release must be your own original album.

Of course, you can also make appointments with those famous musicians and other bands, but in this way, your band's B column instantly drops by hundreds of levels, so even if it is hard now, the Carpenter brothers and sisters don't dare to ask other bands and musicians to ask for songs, and they don't ask others to ask for songs, their B grid is still there, and their new album has not yet come out, "Carpenter Brothers and Sisters" is still the most influential and well-known band in the United States, but once you go to ask someone to make an appointment, to put it mildly, "Carpenter Brothers and Sisters" is over.

"I see, so what do you mean...... Is it for me to help the two of you contact the music producers?" asked Chen Geng tentatively.

"No, no, no," before his brother Richard Carpenter could speak, his younger sister Karen Carpenter hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Mr. Fernandez, we came to you because we are now a little confused about the future, so ...... If you can, can you give us some advice?"

Understood, the aura of "Oriental Wizard" on his body began to work.

After seeing at a glance that Karen Carpenter's "life potential" was seriously insufficient, the two siblings thought that they were really magical wizards of the East, and after many attempts and could not find a direction for the future, they began to ask themselves for advice.

"That's ......"

Chen Geng's expression was a little embarrassed.

"Do you need to pay?" The Americans, who were accustomed to equivalent exchanges, thought he was asking for money when they saw Chen Geng's appearance, and Richard Carpenter hurriedly reached for his bag: "No problem, how much do you want...... Uh......"

Before he could finish speaking, Richard Carpenter felt that he could not continue.

Chen Geng looked at him coldly, and said honestly and unceremoniously: "Mr. Carpenter, do you think I am short of money?"

Of course, Richard Carpenter knew that Chen Geng was not short of money, but the current situation, he was nervous, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"The reason why I help you is because I feel that we are friends, so I am willing to help you, and if I can give you some help, I will be very happy and happy. But if it's for money......" snorted, Chen Geng looked at the Carpenter brothers and sisters honestly and unceremoniously: "Do you think you can be richer than me?"

This is nonsense!

No matter how rich the Carpenter brothers and sisters are, they can't compare with Chen Geng, who is already a multimillionaire. Realizing that they had misunderstood Chen Geng, the brother and sister hurriedly apologized to Chen Geng.

"There is no need to apologize," Chen Geng waved his hand and said, "The reason why I hesitated just now is actually because of ...... Anyway, maybe my method is a little unacceptable to you. ”

I see.

Only then did the two Carpenter siblings realize that the reason why Chen Geng was embarrassed just now was not for money, nor because of anything else, but that he felt that his suggestion might embarrass him.

Karen Carpenter hurriedly stood up: "Mr. Fernandez, no matter what your suggestion is, my brother and I are very grateful to you. ”

"Yes, yes......"

Richard Carpenter's reaction was not slow, and he hurriedly said that no matter what Chen Geng's suggestion was, his brother and sister were very grateful.

"No need to be like this, are we friends, don't be so polite," Chen Geng was a little embarrassed, he smiled and waved his hand: "Actually, my advice to you is, since you think this road is more difficult to walk now, why haven't you considered changing the road?"

"Are you talking about a different style?" Richard Carpenter didn't understand what Chen Geng meant, and said a little confused: "In the past few years...... For three or four years, Karen and I were tweaking our musical styles, but we were always ......"

"No, I'm talking about a different path, not to let you change your music style, but to let you change your way of working, such as ......" Looking at the Carpenter brothers and sisters, Chen Geng said slowly: "Have you considered making movies in the past?"

"Making a movie?!"

Richard Carpenter and Karen Carpenter looked at each other, both stunned.

Not to mention, the brother and sister have always thought about how to make music that can win the public's affection, and can change from a singer to become an actor?

"Don't you think about it?" Chen Geng asked with a smile: "You are singers, you should know that the acting career of a singer is actually much shorter than the acting career of an actor, you singers essentially rely on lung capacity and breath to eat, and you need to pay attention to the maintenance of your voice, once you are old, your physical function declines, and many songs cannot be sung, but actors are different, those actors who are still active in the film industry at the age of sixty or seventy abound." So, don't you think about it? While you're still very well-known in the United States. ”

"This ......"

The brother and sister looked at each other, both a little undecided.

Of course, the two know that what Chen Geng said is the truth, singers are a highly dependent on the body to eat, when they are young, no matter how difficult the song is, they can sing it, but once they are over 40 years old, their physical function declines rapidly, and the difficulty of singing some songs with high requirements for breath and lung capacity will rise sharply.

Of course, there are also a very few people with demonic physical fitness, who may still be able to maintain their peak state in their 50s, but there are too few such people, and with the physical condition of their brothers and sisters, neither of them thinks that they can sing some difficult songs when they are forty or fifty years old.

And just like Mr. Fernández said, while his brother and sister are still somewhat well-known, relying on this face can also attract their music fans into the cinema, making a good start for their entry into the film industry, and in a few years, the influence of their brother and sister in the music industry will further decline, at that time, I am afraid that it may not be appropriate for me to want to transform, from this point of view, if my brother and sister plan to transform, now is indeed the best time to transform.

It's just that Richard Carpenterka was still a little worried, and he hesitated for a moment, and finally asked what he was worried about......
