At the end of June, Zhang Shaojie sold the "Wharf" and fled victoriously, making a profit of one million.

2 million Hong Kong dollars with interest, not invested in the stock market again, but into Longteng Entertainment Brokerage Company.

"The company is finally rich!" Elune looked very happy and said, "Before, I was worried that the company was founded on a whim by you, and it might go bankrupt and dissolve because you no longer inject funds, but now people don't worry about it anymore!" ”

Zhang Shaojie nodded and said, "For the time being, there are only these 2 million!" More on the horizon! By the way, do you have any clue about those lists that were given to you last time? ”

Elune glanced at him and said, "How can it be so easy to find it all, Hong Kong is a vast sea of people." And the list you provided only has names, not more detailed information. However, I found out the whereabouts of a few people! ”

Zhang Shaojie asked, "Which people?" ”

"Huang Jiaju, Huang Jiaqiang, and Ye Shirong are some part-time bar singers, they usually have their own jobs, but sometimes, they will sing their own songs in some bars and song halls. Although it has a small reputation, it can be ignored if it is famous! ”

Zhang Shaojie said excitedly: "What! Did you find Huang Jiaju? ”

Huang Jiaju, Huang Jiaqiang, Ye Shirong, that's the beyond band!

From the 80s to the 90s, the most famous original music group in Hong Kong was the beyond group, which was centered on Wong Ka Kui, Wong Ka Keung, Wong Kwan Chung, and Ye Shirong, especially Wong Ka Kui is the soul of the Beyond band.

The formation of the band beyond is of great significance, injecting some innovative spirit into Hong Kong's impetuous music scene!

In the 60s and 70s, the music industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan used to cover songs from Europe, America, and Ben, and it was easy to become popular through this way of covering Western classic songs in Chinese.

Therefore, the music industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan, in terms of composition, has always been accustomed to plagiarism, often filling in some Chinese lyrics of classic songs that have been known in Europe and the United States, and then covering them into records to obtain profits.

However, beyond is a very unique company that insists on writing its own music, and the people in the band write their own lyrics, compose their own music, and then sing it themselves!

Initially, this thankless and completely original made the band, extremely niche, only able to perform in bars and earn very little appearance fees. However, with the persistence of the band beyond, more and more people identify with them, and by the early 90s, the popularity of this band has even surpassed that of first-line singers, second only to some superstar singers!

If it grows, beyond will become the most well-known original band in Asia!

However, on June 30, 93, when the Beyond group was promoting the record and singing live, the main singer Huang Jiaju accidentally fell from the stage and was seriously injured.

After losing Huang Jiaju, although the beyond group did not disband, it fell into a serious predicament because of the loss of the soul of the band. Although the band did not disband, a few years later, some of the band's main players went their separate ways. Although there are occasional reunions, the good times will not last long.

Although Zhang Shaojie knows that from a business point of view, beyond may not be as profitable as Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, and Jacky Cheung, but from the perspective of music innovation, a bunch of pop singers can't be compared!

Music is not fundamentally the same as movies.

The mainstream of the movie is fast food, and the audience likes the new and hates the old. Classic movies from decades ago, decades later, have also lost their appealing magic.

And the music, the classic music, is able to be alive all the time!

Zhang Shaojie met a female proprietress of a bookstore in her last life, she liked to listen to Chen Baiqiang's "I Like You" quietly in the bookstore in the early 90s, and in 2011, nearly 20 years later, her bookstore was still playing the classic song "I Like You".

Elune nodded and said, "Huang Jiaju and the others, although they are very young, they are very arrogant. I don't think just putting a brokerage contract in front of them is going to impress them! ”

Zhang Shaojie thought: "I can really integrate into their team, really like music, and sincerely communicate with them about ideals." I think that with sincerity, we can impress them. ”

Elune said, "Okay. However, my musical talent is not very optimistic and I am not up to the task. You need to find a musical genius to be able to speak a common language with them! ”

Zhang Shaojie muttered to himself: "Music genius? ”

"I know a guy who just signed a two-year contract with EMI Records, and he's a musical genius. Moreover, because it is a newcomer to sign a contract with EMI, the liquidated damages are only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. If we dig him up, we may be able to let this genius help us integrate into Huang Jiaju's team. ”

Zhang Shaojie was curious: "Who is this person?" ”

Elune said: "Chen Baiqiang? ”

Zhang Shaojie was shocked: "It's him, why did I forget to write him on the list!" Chen Baiqiang was born in 58 years, he has loved music since he was a child, and once sang a cover song in a TVB TV program, and later studied music in San Francisco, USA. When he returned to Hong Kong in '77, he immediately participated in the electronic piano competition and won the championship, and sang the English song "therockyroad" to win the third place in the "Pop Songwriting Invitational Competition", and in 78, he won the championship of the "Pop Songwriting Invitational Competition" with the English song "thesunrise".

In 79, Chen Baiqiang was favored by Baidai Company and became a signed singer

Of course, the current Chen Baiqiang, although he is a powerful faction, has created many classic songs for the time being, so he is still just a newcomer in the music industry.

Zhang Shaojie thought of Chen Baiqiang's unique taste of "I Like You"!

Even if there are thousands of love songs later, you can no longer find the unique temperament of this song.

"Good! I authorize you to dig Chen Baiqiang, 200,000 liquidated damages, ready! In addition, tell Chen Baiqiang that our brokerage fee is 20%, but if his annual income is less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars during the contract period, our company will pay him an annual salary of at least 100,000 Hong Kong dollars! Zhang Shaojie said.

Elune nodded and smiled, "Okay! But before this happens, there are still things that need to be approved, expand the company, such as hiring some new employees. Managers and artist trainers are needed! ”

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "Then digging Chen Baiqiang is even more successful!" He is a musical talent, born in a professional class, and some indiscriminate music teachers, but he can't fool the vision of the future prince of music! ”

Elune showed a strange look and said, "You seem to know Chen Baiqiang very well!" ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, you know, there are some secrets, you can't talk nonsense"

―――――― with the newly injected cash of HK$2 million, Longteng Entertainment Agency began to be a little angry.

On June 25, Zhang Shaojie advertised for employment, with a monthly salary of 3,500 Hong Kong dollars. At least 30 people came in one morning to apply.

The company's three veterans, Li Jie, Su Xiaowan and Elune, are responsible for selecting new employees.

Soon after, the company selected 5 people. Two men and three women. Among the men is a down-and-out advertising director Zhang Guhe, who has directed some commercials, but he has always wanted to direct movies, but no one has invested in them. In order to direct films, he even quit his position in an advertising agency, and recently came to apply for a job as an entertainment agent.

The other man is lawyer Chen Jiayi, as a regular company, legal consultant, it is a must.

The three women, Long Xuehui, are music teachers, and when they applied for the job, they used piano, guitar, harmonica and other musical instruments to play classic tunes, showing strong musical literacy.

Huang Wanqing is a talent in etiquette and has certain experience in the training of etiquette and temperament of artists.

And Zhou Shuying is a student girl, because of curiosity, she came to apply. However, she is rarely proficient in many languages, such as Chinese, Korean, German, French, and English. Moreover, he has a good foundation and can skillfully translate Chinese poems and novels into other Chinese languages.

After hiring five people at once, the company expanded to eight people.

The high quality of these people made Zhang Shaojie and others feel extremely surprised.

Su Wan'er lowered her head and whispered, "Can the quality not be high?" I recruited the head of the company's legal department from my father's company, and even used my connections to find top translation talents and etiquette talents from Hong Kong overnight through high-end talent hunting. If it's not time crunched, then no matter how powerful the characters are, I will have a way to dig them up."

Zhang Shaojie found Su Wan'er's broken thoughts, and said strangely: "Su Wan'er, do you have a problem?" ”

Su Wan'er was startled, and when she saw Zhang Shaojie looking at her, her face turned red, and she said, "Oh, there's no problem!" ”

"Then don't you introduce the company's environment, as well as the company's business scope and management articles to the newcomers!" Zhang Shaojie looked at her and said.

"Oh, okay, I've printed a few copies of the document, I'll send it to the five new ones, if you don't understand, I can explain it!" Su Wan'er stood up generously and said, "I am the secretary of the chairman of the company, I hope you will have a good job in the future and can like our career!" ”

Chen Jiayi, Huang Wanqing, and Zhou Shuying saw Su Wan'er and resisted the urge to shout "Miss".

Su Wan'er winked at the three of them naughtily, and at this time, after the three confirmed that she was indeed the eldest lady, she was assigned to work in this brokerage company that was not a third-rate company by an international group, and she was a little resentful.

Now everyone sees the eldest lady who was high in the group before, and she actually pretended to be a small secretary of the board of directors in this company. This resentment has dissipated.

Yes, serve a good lady, and she will definitely have a bright future after she goes back, after all, the boss of the company only has a baby daughter, and the company's career in the future will not be hers?

Zhang Shaojie naturally didn't know that the doorway of these people, shook his head, told everyone to work hard to do a good job, and drove away from the company again.

Su Wan'er looked at his back and said, "It's really annoying, people have done so much for you, but you never knew it." Brother Shaojie, if you know, how can you thank me in the future? ”
