Chapter 76: Fang Tianming
On the second day of the state banquet, the Green Sea Residence, a teahouse located near the ancient royal garden, has a long history and still maintains the antique architectural style, surrounded by green bamboo forests, swaying in the wind like sea waves, is named after it.
In a single room surrounded by a green bamboo screen on the second floor, a young man and a man sat opposite each other, it was Jiang Li and Fang Tianming.
"So, your answer, or refuse?" Fang Tianming put down the delicate blue and white porcelain teacup, glanced at Jiang Li, his brows furrowed, and his displeasure was overflowing.
"Yes, it was a deliberate decision. Jiang Li looked at each other without fear and said seriously.
"Hehe, you don't think that Huaxia Records' reputation as the world's No. 1 is false, the consequences of refusal are not something you can bear, I think, with your current strength, it is not enough for others or Shili to risk offending Huaxia Records to protect you. Fang Tianming threatened again, this time it was more direct than last night.
Jiang was bitter in his heart, but he said quietly on the surface: "I am mentally prepared for the worst, but as Uncle Fang said, my current strength is not enough to watch, and it is not worth Huaxia Records' big fight, why do you embarrass me as a junior?"
This sentence is said very horizontally, showing the enemy to be weak, starting from the perspective of a junior, knowing it with reason, and moving it with emotion.
Fang Tianming said unrelentingly: "Even if you raise me, it's useless, you have a lot of potential, if you can't be used by me, it's better to strangle in the cradle, for the sake of you calling me Uncle Fang, you still have a chance to choose!
Jiang Li shook his head and said firmly: "Don't think about it, I have made up my mind." ”
"What a decision has been made!" Fang Tianming snorted coldly, his voice was violent, if it were someone else, he would probably lose his temper under the pressure of the other party at this time, but Jiang Li didn't, he controlled his nervous emotions.
Silence, deathly silence.
A verdant bamboo leaf was blown in by the wind from the window, and fell in Jiang Li's tea, swirling slightly, Fang Tianming glanced at it, and said meaningfully: "It's a pity that it's a good cup of tea." ”
Jiang Li's fingers trembled slightly, but he was still unmoved, and at this time, he suddenly heard the other party's laughter, which was a relieved smile.
He looked up inexplicably, and saw that the seriousness on Fang Tianming's face had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by an interesting teasing.
"Do you know who helped you relieve the pressure of Baiyu outside of Su Province last time?"
"Could it be...... Uncle Fang?" Jiang Li asked tentatively.
Fang Tianming was silent, it was a tacit acquiescence, but he was secretly observing Jiang Li's expression, because Fang Tianming had always been very curious about how that big man could pay attention to a little star in Su Province and give such a strange order.
"I didn't expect it to be Uncle Fang secretly helping, Jiang Li was really ashamed. Jiang Li was also observing the other party's expression, and after confirming that it meant affirmation, Fang Tianming was a person with a status and status, and he would not deceive him in this kind of matter, so there was no need for that at all.
"Hehe, by chance, I can't bear to see your musical talent buried, so now, are you willing to sign a contract with Huaxia Records?" Fang Tianming didn't see what he wanted from Jiang Li's face, so he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and took advantage of the situation to persuade.
Jiang Li pondered for a moment this time, but still shook his head and refused.
"Uncle Fang, Jiang Li is really grateful for your generous help, but I really can't sign a contract with Huaxia Records, you should know that I run a record company myself......"
"Oh, that flying bird, the development trend is quite haode, Huaxia Records can be acquired together, you can make a price, you can discuss within 100 million. ”
Jiang Li is embarrassed, how can 100 million be like a joke in the other party's mouth, and it really deserves to be the world's No. 1 Huaxia record, with a lot of money.
"Uncle Fang, don't make fun of me, how can I get into your eyes with my little trouble? Jiang Li will tell you the truth, I want to go my own way, start my own business, and I don't want to join any record company, so you don't have to worry that I will be used by others, just with the love you have helped me, I will not go against Huaxia Records." ”
"What if you're strong enough in the future?"
"If that day had happened, I would never have been the first to strike. ”
Fang Tianming looked at Jiang Li deeply, smiled again, and called the waiter to replace it with a new teapot and teacup.
"Since you've said so, it's okay not to sign a contract, but it's really damaging my face if you don't do it, so you have to compensate me. ”
Jiang Li couldn't cry or laugh, how could it sound like a child's temper, but he finally understood, I am afraid that Fang Tianming had guessed his decision before, and he had already prepared this move, instead of temporarily saving face.
Thankfully, it's just a temptation.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief and happily responded: "Please speak, Jiang Li listens." ”
"Huaxia Records is ready to strike while the iron is hot, release the winner of this year's Best Newcomer Award, that is, your record, select a few songs from the songs you have written, and the net income will be half for both sides, but all the publicity costs and costs will be borne by you, how about it?"
In other words, it is the white wolf of Huaxia Records' empty gloves, taking a handful from Jiang Li, but not only that, this is actually a win-win proposal, if this Jihua is a complete success, his fame will definitely skyrocket again, and he is now lacking a record sales that can be taken out, if he only relies on flying birds, he doesn't know that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
But......
Jiang Li suddenly realized an important question, so he asked cautiously, "Uncle Fang, how much start-up capital do I have to prepare?"
"Well, the publicity cost must be at least 30 million, otherwise Huaxia Records will not be able to get it, and the cost will be calculated according to the sales of 10 million copies, and there are other costs such as packaging and transportation...... In short, the start-up capital should not be less than 150 million!" Fang Tianming said lightly, with a hint of banter obviously hidden in his eyes.
Jiang Li's right hand shook slightly, and even the tea rippled, God, opening his mouth is 150 million, which is equivalent to the price of three birds, this is only the start-up capital, if the sales exceed 10 million, there will definitely be additional investment.
Fang Tianming's words are naturally not untargeted, 10 million tickets are probably a conservative estimate, this is likely to become the biggest gain in his life!
But the key is how to solve this 150 million start-up capital, otherwise everything is empty talk.
Seeing that Jiang Li was in a predicament and at a loss, Fang Tianming reminded in a timely manner: "For today's plan, you only have one way to go, take a loan." ”
Jiang Li raised his head suddenly, and listened to the other party continue: "With your current fame and assets, plus the guarantee of someone with status and status, you should be able to barely get 150 million from the bank, but I declare in advance that it is very risky to do so, because that is your entire net worth, and if you fail, you may be able to borrow money to live." ”
150 million is like a mountain pressing on Jiang Li's body, pressing him out of breath, what Fang Tianming said is true, this is actually a venture capital that gambles on all his net worth.
But Jiang Li doesn't have to worry about going into debt, because of the existence of the strong backing of the music palace, he should be able to repay his debts if he gets some new songs out.
Of course, Jiang Li would not rely on this to decide a huge deal involving 150 million or more without thinking about it, he pondered for a while and said, "If Uncle Fang can be my guarantor, I will accept this proposal." ”
"Oh, you're shrewd, but I won't carry this burden casually, unless the two of us sign a contract, if I advance the arrears for you, that part of the money will be counted as I lend you, that is, I will become your new creditor, are you still willing?" Fang Tianming smiled maliciously.
This is a very dangerous signal, if Fang Tianming secretly sabotages, it is easy to trap him with 150 million, and then take the opportunity to threaten and persecute him, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
Originally, Fang Tianming thought that Jiang Li might hesitate again and again, but Zuihou politely refused, but he didn't expect him to immediately say: "I am willing!"
It's like a wild horse that has escaped from the leash, coming with an indomitable momentum!
"Oh, weishenme?" Fang Tianming asked after taking a sip of tea, his eyes sinking slightly.
"Because I believe in Uncle Fang!" Jiang Li said categorically, even if there was some suspicion in his heart, after all, shopping malls are like battlefields, people's hearts are unpredictable, and many things can't be said clearly, but at this time, you must be decisive! Let the other party believe that you believe him!
Many times, conspiracy and trickery are just a temporary ghost trick, and in the face of Haoran righteousness, they will be self-defeating!
Desperate, unquestionable trust, and unreasonable self-confidence!
Stand up like a man!
This is what Fang Tianming saw from the current Jiang Li, and his heart defense was even a little loose because of this, so he thought it would be better to give some more benefits to the other party.
It's been a long time since I've seen such an outstanding young man, Fang Tianming said in his heart, if this son doesn't become a dragon, who can become it? As long as the opportunity is not too bad.
"Okay, I can be your guarantor!" Fang Tianming said happily, sonic shock roof tiles, "Come, have a drink, replace wine with tea, I wish us a happy cooperation, and we are all happy!"
"Please!" Jiang Li's eyes lit up, as if the heavens and stars were shining out of the black universe.
The teacups touched each other, and as soon as they were drunk, Fang Tianming immediately stood up, turned around and left, and said with a smile as he walked: "Jiang Li, I'll go first, remember to pay!" Haha, it's a good day, it's happy! By the way, I'll let someone contact you later, you pay attention." ”
Fang Tianming asked him to pay, obviously not to take advantage, but to show closeness.
Jiang Li smiled slightly, twisted the bamboo leaves that he had fished out of the teacup with his fingers, and blew them gently, the leaves danced, flew out of the window, were carried away by the wind, and flew to a higher place.
He also wants to seize this opportunity and soar into the sky!
When Jiang Li walked out of the middle of the green sea after paying, a strange call came to his mobile phone, because of Fang Tianming's previous greeting, he immediately connected, and heard a man speak with a little excitement.
"Hello Jiang Li, I am Fang Xuan, and in the future, I will be fully responsible for the related affairs with you on behalf of Huaxia Records, I hope we get along happily. ”
