Chapter 21: 300,000!
After returning to the dormitory, lying on the bed, Li Bei thought about his plans for a period of time after. He is going to go to the library to quietly study programming languages for a while, and now he can basically understand those boring professional books, and it is estimated that after a period of study, he will be able to achieve his goal and analyze the functions of the mobile phone software. Through the analysis of these functions, Li Bei was able to understand the unlimited business opportunities in the future network era.
After that, there was military training two days later, the negotiation of the music contract on September 10 and some chores to do at the beginning of school, etc., thinking about it, Li Bei gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Li Bei went to the library to get a library card, found a book, sat in the library and felt it. Maybe because of the new school year, there are few people in the library, but the atmosphere of learning is very strong, and it is indeed a good place to study.
Soon after, the military training was about to begin, and the instructor team found by the school was actually the senior students of the local military academy in Jiangcheng, not much older than the freshmen.
Military training is actually a very boring thing, basically turning over and over all day is those few movements, or standing in a military posture. The summer Jiangcheng can make any person remember it deeply in this life, the hot sun is on the head, the hula thousands of people stand on the playground with green hats, and the eyes of the instructors on patrol are constantly staring back and forth, scolding who they see moving.
When he went back to bed at night, Chen Yaoguang had several blood blisters on the soles of his feet after a day of training because his military shoes were a bit big, and the others were not much better. On the contrary, Li Bei is much more relaxed, and this amount of exercise is not enough to tire him. It's just that the sun is so poisonous that I sweat all day.
"It's not going to work like this, we have to find a way." Li Jiang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly turned over and said. "Why don't we go find someone and get a sick note?"
"It's useless, who wouldn't have thought of that? In order to prevent new students from evading military training, the school will arrange for students who did not participate in military training to train with freshman students in the next academic year. Hu Jie said that he has inquired about a lot of things in the past few days.
"The old man has blood blisters on his feet, what about tomorrow's training?"
"Hey, hey!" Hu Jie suddenly smiled a little obscenely, "I've prepared it for the fourth child early, I went to the cafeteria to eat this afternoon and bought it back by the way, it depends on whether the fourth child is willing or not." As he spoke, Hu Jie took out a pack of sanitary napkins from under his pillow.
"Holy! Second brother, you're not kind! If you have such a good thing, I didn't tell us earlier, I have to remember you this time. Seeing the sanitary napkin that Hu Jie took out, Li Bei exclaimed, this thing is a military training artifact.
"Is there anything superfluous? Hand it all over, dick! "The boss threatened viciously.
"This, it's really gone, I still thought of it today when I saw the fourth foot hurt, but this pack is enough for us to use for a day or two, and then I'll buy it."
After that, this method unconsciously spread throughout the financial class, and all of a sudden, the boys gathered in the sanitary napkin section of the lakeside supermarket, which was a spectacle and a good story.
On the 10th of September, Li Bei asked the instructor for half a day off, on the grounds that no one could see the panacea excuse of stomach pain, but the instructor did not deliberately embarrass him, after all, he only asked for half a day.
The good thing that Universal Company gave Li Bei was in a star-rated hotel near Jiangcheng University, and this time he didn't choose to go directly to the café, but ordered a table of dishes and waited for Li Bei to come over. It may be that the results of the last few songs were excellent, which made Universal raise the grade.
At half past one in the afternoon, Li Bei left the school gate and quickly found this hotel. After entering, he asked the waiter to take him to the private room where he had made an appointment, and there were already several people waiting inside. Li Bei looked over, Huang Wei and Miss Zhang, who had met him last time, were also there, but there was a slightly obese middle-aged man, and Huang Wei and the three of them saw Li Bei coming in and hurriedly got up.
"Mr. Li, you're here, please take a seat!" Huang Wei stepped forward to greet him, and then introduced the slightly obese middle-aged man next to Li Bei: "This is Minister Wu of the creation department of our company, this time I am mainly here to make a judgment on your work and give a reference price." After the last cooperation, our company is now full of confidence in your work, but the process still has to go through a while, and this time the price is guaranteed not to disappoint you! ”
Li Bei nodded lightly, this time when he came over, he had already picked out more than a dozen songs to bring with him, and he was ready to see the price given by the other party to make a moderate move. All he needs is a start-up capital, hundreds of thousands of dollars is roughly enough, and there is no need to take out all the songs in his mobile phone, which is too hated.
A few people exchanged a few words of greeting, and ate a full table of dishes on the table. Li Bei hadn't eaten lunch yet, but he was very happy to eat now, and he didn't care about the expressions of the three people on the side.
After being full of wine and food, Huang Wei stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li, don't you know that you have brought all your songs?" ”
"Well, I brought some here, and the quality will definitely not be worse than the last time I gave you, but the price is ......"
"Of course, the price is easy to say, it's easy to say, we were already embarrassed to take advantage of you so much last time, at that time, it was mainly because you were still a newcomer at that time, and the work had not been tested by the market, I hope you don't mind. This practice has proved your accurate grasp of the domestic music market, and of course we will not let you suffer! Huang Wei patted his chest and reassured.
"So if it's music of similar quality to last time, how much are you going to pay?" Li Bei asked.
Listening to Li Bei's words, Huang Wei lowered his head and thought about it, and looked vaguely at the meaning of the intention of Minister Wu of the Creation Department on the side, and saw Minister Wu nodding his head briefly and forcefully, so he raised his head and said firmly, "Fifty thousand!" The price we gave you this time was 50,000, the last time we gave you the price was 15,000 songs, this time we tripled for you, and the bid was 50,000 songs, but the quality of the songs can't be worse than last time, do you think? ”
Li Bei's mind turned, this price is already very good, his expectation is actually more than 35,000 can be accepted, this time each song is 15,000 more than expected, which is also good.
Thinking of this, he agreed, "Yes, just for this price." After speaking, he clicked from a stack of more than a dozen pieces of paper in a small bag beside him, took out six of them and handed them to Minister Wu who was sitting aside, Minister Wu's eyes glanced at Li Bei's movements, and his pupils contracted slightly. If the quality of the music on the pieces of paper handed to him by the boy on the other side can reach the level of the last time, then it means that he still has at least a dozen songs of the same quality in his bag, so it is almost certain that this is a genius songwriter! Not just genius, but prolific! Such a talent must pull him to the company at any cost!
Thinking of this, Minister Wu finished the lyrics handed over by Li Bei, and several other people in the private room were silent at this time, quietly waiting for Minister Wu's results.
Minister Wu sat on a chair and looked at the lyrics and music score in front of him, and fell deeply into the world created by the song, as if no one was playing the beat and humming the melody in the score.
It took a long time for Minister Wu to come back to his senses. At this time, no one knows the excitement in his heart. "Mr. Li! Please be sure! You must come to our office! An excellent songwriter like you should not be buried in the folk, and our company will provide you with the best creative conditions. As one of the shareholders of the company, I can still speak in the company, as long as you come, the position of music director will be yours immediately! Minister Wu didn't care about anything at this time, and directly promised Li Bei the greatest promise he could make. As someone obsessed with music creation, he knows how terrifying the talent of the teenager in front of him is. It can be said that as long as he is pulled on the big ship of the world, the company will soon be able to rise steadily until it has the status of the leading domestic music company, and even has the spare strength to march internationally. That's the unattainable dream of many domestic music companies!
Huang Wei was also surprised at this time, he didn't expect Minister Wu's evaluation of Li Bei to be so high, but he also chimed in with great insight: "Yes, Mr. Li, in fact, I didn't tell you the whole situation before. Minister Wu is not only the head of our global creative department, but also the largest shareholder of our company, but Minister Wu does not like to do management, prefers the pursuit of music creation, so he hung a position of creative minister in the company, his promise to you is definitely possible, I hope you can see our sincerity. ”
Li Bei shook his head lightly at this time, "I'm just a student now, it's impossible for me to come to your company to take on any position, not to mention that music is just my hobby, not life." If I have to join your company, maybe even the current inspiration will be lost, I see your sincerity, if there is any good music in the future, I will definitely give priority to you, thank you for your attention. ”
Li Bei finally refused, but he knew what he was doing, these songs were all copied by himself according to the music in that mobile phone, and he really wanted to be in a high position in a large company, and sooner or later he would be seen at his own level, how would he explain it then? How do you get mixed up? Even this time, after he scraped together the money, he didn't have the idea of selling those music again. Although he was indeed touched by Universal's sincerity, he had to refuse.
After hearing Li Bei's refusal, Minister Wu could see that Li Bei's attitude was very resolute, and he even said the most important thing for a songwriter, such as the disappearance of inspiration, and it was estimated that he couldn't change his mind no matter how much he said. I had to say regretfully: "That's really a pity, or our company doesn't have this blessing, we can't invite a genius songwriter like Mr. Li." But if you want to think anything in the future, the door of our company is open to you at any time! In the end, Minister Wu couldn't help but leave a way back.
The atmosphere between several people at this time became more and more friendly, Miss Zhang on the side took out the contract, Li Bei looked at it briefly, and signed his name with a pen, and each party kept one copy of the contract in duplicate.
After signing the contract, Huang Wei said to Li Bei: "Please also ask Mr. Li to wait patiently for one to two days, we will notify the company's financial staff to settle your accounts as soon as possible, if you have any new works next time, you must come to contact us, our sincerity believes that you have felt it, and I hope we can continue to cooperate with you." ”
Li Bei nodded and said, "That's it, I came to see you this time or ask for leave, and now it's time to go back and say goodbye!" ”
"Walk slowly!" Minister Wu and the three of them hurriedly got up to see each other off.
After Li Bei left, Minister Wu looked at Li Bei's back in a daze. Miss Zhang on the side asked Minister Wu with some doubts: "Mr. Wu, is that Mr. Li really such a genius worthy of your commitment and respect?" She didn't understand how Mr. Wu, who had always been above the top, could make such a promise to a young man, even if the songs written by that teenager were really good, but as a large company, Universal was not short of talents who could write excellent songs.
Minister Wu came back to his senses a little at this time: "What do you know! Didn't you see that he had at least a dozen songs in his bag when he took out these songs? Do you know what this concept is? This shows that he has written at least twenty excellent songs in a short period of time, which is a true genius, but it seems that he prefers a freer environment. ”
