Chapter 5: The First Pot of Gold

In the early morning of the next day, Li Bei sat on the train to the provincial capital of Jiangcheng, and today he made an appointment with the people of Universal Music Company to meet at a time and place.

Sitting on the window seat, looking at the fast-moving scenery outside the window, Li Bei's eyes were a little distracted.

Thinking about the other party's attitude towards a half-grown child like him when he meets later, will he deliberately lower the price? Will there be some loopholes in the signed contract that he can't detect?

He didn't know any of this, although he was smart, he still saw too little of the world. Li Bei was a little apprehensive in his heart. But it soon calmed down again.

After all, in the end, what he voted for Universal Music was only three songs, even if he suffered a loss, it would not be a big deal to change his record company, anyway, there were dozens of music in his phone, which was enough for him to use, at most, it was just a little more troublesome to wait for a while.

The train moved forward smoothly, and the wheel connecting rod made a "clang-clang" sound from time to time in the process of rotating, which made people fall asleep.

Three hours later, the train arrived in Jiangcheng.

Out of the crowded railway station, standing on the lively and noisy streets of Jiangcheng. Li Bei remembered that a large number of photos in the mobile phone that could change his fate were shown in the mobile phone's location function, which were taken in Jiangcheng.

In the photo, he saw the skyscrapers in Jiangcheng City ten years later, which were rapidly jointing like bamboo shoots in spring, and the bustling scene of the street market being bustling with traffic.

Compared with the streets of Jiangcheng, which are still bustling now, it will no longer surprise Li Bei too much.

Li Bei suddenly thought that maybe he could infer the aesthetic needs of the public based on the changes in people's clothing in the future in those photos, which was another opportunity. Thinking of this, Li Bei sighed again. Now that he hasn't even taken the first step in his career, where does he have the energy to think about other things.

A taxi with an "empty car" sign drove over in front, Li Bei beckoned, and the car stopped.

"Where are you going?" The driver was probably a local, and he spoke with a strong Jiangcheng accent.

Li Bei said the location, and soon the taxi arrived at the destination in the driver's chat.

After checking out and getting out of the car, what appeared in front of Li Bei's eyes was a rather quiet and elegant coffee shop.

After entering, Li Bei found that there were not many people inside, and Li Bei guessed that this should be a relatively famous coffee shop.

Seeing Li Bei enter the door, a waiter came over and asked, "Sir, are you alone?" ”

"I've made an appointment, at table 9." Li Bei replied.

"Please come with me." After speaking, the waiter took Li Bei to a semi-enclosed window compartment on the side.

When Li Bei entered, there were already two people in the compartment, a man and a woman, who were probably in their thirties, and when they saw Li Bei coming in, the two got up, and the middle-aged man who looked more capable hesitated a little and said, "You are...... Mr. Li Bei Lee? ”

"yes, what's wrong? Think I'm too young? Li Bei responded with a smile.

"Huh! I really didn't expect Mr. Li to be so young, but as the saying goes, ambition is not at an old age, Mr. Li can create such excellent works at such an age, and he must have a bright future in the future! ”

"Where, it's just a little bit of inspiration that came to the trick, thanks to your company, I bother you to come to Jiangcheng in person." Li Bei casually said politely to the other party.

"No, no, as long as I have the level of your songs, even if I break my leg, I'm willing."

"Huh! Thanks a lot. Also, what is your last name? ”

The middle-aged man suddenly patted his forehead at this time, "Look at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself to you, your surname is Huang, a single name is a great character, and now I am working as a producer in the Universal Music Creation Department, and the young lady next to me is Miss Zhang from our legal department, the legal counsel responsible for our contract signing, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me and Miss Zhang." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man paused and summoned the waiter. "What would you like to drink?"

"Let's have a latte." Li Bei said casually.

While waiting for the coffee, Li Bei lowered his head and was thinking about something, and Huang Wei and Miss Zhang didn't bother when they saw this. The three of them fell silent for a moment.

A few minutes later, the waiter brought the prepared coffee, and Li Bei took a sip. Keep your head up.

"So, let's get straight to the point, I don't know what Universal paid me for these three songs?"

"Hmm...... The price we gave is 15,000 songs, this price is already our greatest sincerity compared to the new songwriters who are not famous, our purpose is just to have a good relationship with you, after all, the quality of those songs is really great, what do you think of the price?" Huang Wei thought for a moment and said.

Li Bei sat at the table and pondered for a while, he had already checked some information on the Internet when he came over before, this price is honestly not bad, even if he fights again, it is estimated that it will not be much higher than now, so he agreed.

Huang Wei and Miss Zhang on the side also showed a relaxed smile at this time, and they were also afraid that Li Bei would not understand the market and make a random price, which would lead to the loss of several excellent music.

Miss Zhang took out two contracts from the briefcase on the side, and soon several people discussed the details, and after signing and leaving the bank card number, Huang Wei smiled and said to Li Bei: "Mr. Li is really a happy person, and the company's finance will send the money to your card number as soon as possible." Also, take the liberty of asking, do you still have a song of this quality? ”

"Huh! There are some of them, but I want to wait until your company releases these songs before we think about selling them. Li Bei refused with a smile.

"Understood, understood! But to be honest, with the quality of Mr. Li's songs, it is very easy to become popular, at that time, it is estimated that many people will come to Mr. Li to invite songs, and the price of your songs will not be only now, I just hope that Mr. Li will give priority to our company at that time, and we will strive for it with the greatest sincerity. ”

"Definitely, then I wish us a happy cooperation?"

"Happy working together!"

After the negotiation with Universal Music, it is not easy to come to Jiangcheng once, Li Bei wants to stop by Jiangcheng University to have a look, which will be where he will study and live in the next four years.

Jiangcheng University is located on Luoyu Mountain on the shore of East Lake in Jiangcheng City, the capital city of H Province, founded at the end of the 19th century, with a history of more than 100 years, and is one of the oldest universities in China.

At the same time, as a national key comprehensive university directly under the Ministry of Education, Jiangxi University has always been among the top 10 in the national university rankings. From the perspective of the environment of the school itself, Jiangda sits on Luoyu Mountain, surrounds the East Lake, and the palace-like buildings of Chinese and Western styles are simple and elegant, majestic and magnificent, and is known as one of the "most beautiful campuses in the world".

Take a taxi to the front gate of Jiangcheng University, looking at a tall antique archway in front of you, the words "Jiangcheng University" are particularly atmospheric.

Walking into the school, the time is the end of June, it is the biannual college examination season, the students have not yet had a holiday, and occasionally you will see students walking on the historic school road of Jiang University in twos and threes.

After roughly turning the school around, Li Bei was fascinated by the beautiful and peaceful scenery, the landscape garden full of humanistic atmosphere, and the ancient buildings filled with a sense of historical vicissitudes.
