"What? what do you mean? Kevin turned down the collaboration?"

When Thundercloud learned the news, his first subconscious reaction was how could it be?

Such a good cooperation opportunity does not require the company to pay any cost at all, from design to production to sales, all costs are borne by Real Me.

All the Dead Poets Society label needs to pay is to sign a licensing contract that grants Real Me the commercial rights to use Rayray's stage name and symbols, and will also receive 15% of the profits from the sales of the limited collection in all countries around the world.

And this licensing agreement not only has a three-year time limit, but also specifies in detail that the commercial rights are limited to the three categories of shoes, clothing, and accessories.

It's effortless, it's just money sent to your door for free, so why turn it away?

"Yes, Rayray, you also know Kevin, if it's something he decides, there's generally no chance of any change. ”

Martin, who had brought the news, shook his head and completely wiped out the last possibility.

Although it was also a very good opportunity for him to work together, the entire label was 100% owned by Kevin, and if it was something he decided, no one could overturn it.

"I know Kevin has always been strong, but... I just can't figure it out, why?"

Thundercloud muttered, suddenly remembering his reaction when he first mentioned it to Kevin.

"Sounds pretty good, you can put the relevant documents away, I'll look at them when I'm free." ”

At that time, Kevin seemed to be very busy, and he had been immersed in sorting out all kinds of documents in his hands, and after probably listening to the content of the cooperation, he didn't say much.

Neither said yes nor no, just asked Lei Yun to put the relevant documents on the table, and when he was free, he would take a look at them.

So Lei Yun didn't think much about it, put down the file and walked out of the office door, all the while patiently waiting for Kevin's opinion.

I didn't expect such a blink of an eye to be a week later, just after Mia asked twice, and Thundercloud couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, Martin came with the final result.

"Alas... Man, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Looking at Rayray's distressed expression, Martin couldn't help but want to say something.

As the earliest and closest contact with Rayray, he actually knows the complex relationship between Kevin and Rayray best.

And, a lot has really happened in recent times...

"Could it be that Kevin, he did to me..."

Looking at Martin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Thundercloud already had some speculations.

"Yes, Kevin he..."

At this point, the words came to an abrupt end, and Martin pursed his lips tightly and held back for a long time before finally speaking.

"I'm disappointed in you..."

······

"Disappointed..."

Unconsciously stirring the coffee in his hand, Lei Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Thinking about it, Kevin just talked a lot to himself not long ago, and he promised to focus on the production of stage music.

I didn't expect that it would only take long for me to play such a big ticket with Kevin behind my back.

Not only did he co-produce with Bieber privately, but he also handed over the work to other music companies for distribution, although the premise was that Kevin made it clear that he would not release this kind of music, but in the end, it would affect the relationship between the two.

It can only be said that the movement caused by this song is a little too big, and it has caused huge waves in the whole world, let alone in the small electronic music circle, so that Kevin can't do it even if he wants to turn a blind eye.

"Hey Thundercloud!Eh,Why is this expression?,Isn't it?。。 ”

As soon as Mia came, she could see that Thundercloud's expression was wrong, and she immediately understood something.

"You guessed it, I didn't bring the good news I expected. ”

He sighed deeply, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in his heart.

A lot of times, even if he's been hugely successful and has reached this point, he still can't do what he wants.

"This... Don't you know why it's convenient to tell me?"

Mia was dumbfounded, apparently the exact opposite of what she had hoped in her heart.

She wondered why any company would turn down such a zero-risk partnership.

"The reason... If I say I don't really know, would you believe it?"

After saying this, he couldn't help laughing, and Lei Yun really couldn't cry or laugh.

"I seem to get it. ”

For a moment, Mia seemed to think of something.

She recalled some of the things that Thundercloud had mentioned at the beginning, and asked tentatively, "It's Kevin's side... Did something go wrong?"

"This... ”

Thundercloud frowned and was silent, picked up his cup and took a big sip of coffee, smacking his lips twice.

He didn't want to mention this very ** thing, but after thinking about it, he found that there seemed to be no one to talk to.

"Okay. ”

As if suddenly made up his mind, Thundercloud drank all the coffee in his cup in one gulp, and simply took it all out.

An hour later...

"I think I should know what the problem is. ”

Mia's words immediately aroused Thundercloud's curiosity, and he quickly straightened up and listened carefully.

"The problem is that you put your new song on another company to release it!"

Lei Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

"No, the crux of the matter is not here, it is Kevin who does not agree to release it in the Dead Poets Society, so I will release it on other labels. ”

After all, this is a joint production with Bieber, even if Thundercloud doesn't consider finding other labels to release it, but the question is whether Bieber will agree?

Is it possible to make your comeback work without finding a big music company to release it with all its might? ?

So knowing that Kevin would not agree to the release, Thundercloud let it go and handed it over to Bieber to arrange.

"Here's the crux of the matter!"

Mia smiled dumbly, seemingly surprised at how innocent Thundercloud had been.

"You have to figure it out, Kevin is first and foremost the owner of a label, he's a businessman!"

In a word, it is like a twilight drum and morning bell, like thunder!

"What is most important to a businessman? It is profit! You said before that you have differences in ideas or something, but that is not the most important thing!"

Mia looked at his somewhat dazed expression, and subconsciously straightened her back, as if she was going to teach Lei Yun a good lesson today.

"No matter how different the ideas are, as long as you can bring benefits to the company, Kevin will not be too serious, otherwise with Kevin's strong character, will you be allowed to challenge him again and again?"

Thundercloud opened his mouth, but found that he was powerless to refute.

"But if Kevin finds out that he can't control you, and you might switch to another company, do you think he'll be able to sit still?"

In the face of this discourse that directly puts interests on the table to calculate and measure, Lei Yun subconsciously found it difficult to agree.

"But, me, the relationship between me and Kevin... It's not just a relationship of interests, we are the kind of relationship that is also a teacher and a friend, a friend! Kevin, he shouldn't be. ”

Thundercloud searched his stomach and tried to refute it.

"Don't be kidding, if you didn't have these talents, would Kevin spend so much money to train you?

"You keep saying that it is a benefit, so you tell me, why does Kevin refuse in the face of this kind of good thing without any risk?"

Yes, if Kevin is just greedy for profit, then how can he turn away the benefits sent to the door?

"Alas... Isn't that understandable, and it's not sure how much benefit the future cooperation will bring? Do you know how much business value you have now?"

Mia held her forehead with one hand and seemed a little speechless.

"Think about it, in Kevin's eyes, you've started to co-produce with other people, and you'll contact the company for distribution, and now you'll also contact commercial sponsorship cooperation!

"It is precisely because you took the initiative to bring up this matter that Kevin feels even more crisis, and he will feel that he is losing control of you more and more!

Speaking of this, Mia suddenly sighed.

"Speaking of which, it's also my fault, I shouldn't have directly bypassed the company to contact you, do you believe it or not, if I contacted you through the company again, Kevin would definitely agree to this cooperation?"

It is precisely because of her cooperation with Kevin that Mia knows Kevin too well.

"I... ”

Mia's series of rhetorical questions smashed the thundercloud's head dizzy, and he was speechless for a while.

"Ugh..."

Looking at Thundercloud's devastated appearance, Mia wanted to say something, but suddenly she couldn't bear it.

"Maybe I'm thinking a little extreme, but at the end of the day, I want to say only one thing. ”

Thundercloud raised his head, only to find that Mia in front of him was suddenly a little unfamiliar.

"Don't trust anyone, including me, to protect your own interests better than anything else..."

Turning his head to look out the window, why is the afterglow of the sunset a little dazzling?

Mia didn't know when she left, but the words she left behind kept echoing in her mind...
