"I can get Japanese citizenship whenever I want. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Chinese nationality alone is something that cannot be exchanged for money and power. Scarcity is expensive, and I think you should be able to understand the difference. ”

Lawyer Hashiguchi shook his head: "Your choice is too unwise. ”

"Hashiguchi, put yourself in your shoes, if the United States gives you a green card, can you give up your Japanese citizenship casually?"

Lawyer Hashiguchi's eyes lit up: "I can't ask for it!" ”

Li Shanhe was choked, and when he looked at other lawyers, he also had an expression of "if you dare to give me a green card, I will dare to immigrate".

…… Well, it's a waste of saliva to talk about values with a lawyer.

Back at the negotiating table, Li Shanhe did not directly state his views, but listened carefully to Sony's next statement.

"-- Article 3, for the preparation of the concert and the release of the album, you must follow Sony's arrangements and attend the event and publicity."

"Fourth, you must write more than two songs a year."

After the other party finished announcing, Li Shanhe knocked on the table and said:

"That's it?"

"Yes, for more detailed terms, the head office authorized me to negotiate with you."

Li Shanhe scratched his head: "However, there is a key place that has not yet been said." How is the signing fee calculated? ”

At the mention of the signing fee, Minister Gotomoto's scalp was numb, facing a billionaire, how much money did he have to impress the other party?

"Mr. Li, 500 million is already all the money that Sony Records can come up with! If this money is used, it must also be reported to the headquarters and voted on by the board of directors. If your offer is too high, even if you can sign a contract, you won't be able to pass the board! ”

"I know, I'm going to rely on Sony to get food in the future, how could I do such a despicable thing as taking the opportunity to blackmail?" Li Shanhe blinked his innocent eyes, "Can you see one million?" ”

Nani?

Just a million?

Minister Goto couldn't believe it, as long as it was such a little money? I'm afraid that Sony's payment to your lawyer team will be higher than your signing fee, right?

He was ready to be slaughtered severely, but he didn't expect to be so merciful. Sure enough, I'm still young, and I can't pull my face. That's the disadvantage of not having a broker.

Just when he was about to nod his head in agreement immediately, he only heard Li Shanhe slowly speak:

"Yes, a million, one per year."

Minister Goto stood up in surprise: "No, it's impossible!" ”

"Why not? It's a good thing to avoid the financial pressure of your Sony. ”

Minister Goto squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Li, one million is too little, how can you be worthy of your status, let's sign for a few more years." ”

Money is important, but not the most important thing.

The headquarters instructed him to extend the contract as long as possible! Everyone understands this truth, taking advantage of the fact that the other party is not well-known, he quickly signed it, and after he is promoted to a superstar in the future, the annuity given to the other party will remain unchanged, but the money the company makes on him is dozens of times!

Compared with the future benefits, the signing fee is a fart!

Li Shanhe scratched his head: "Hey, didn't I say it before?" The rights to all my songs are operated by my company, Max_power, and are exclusively licensed to Sony Records. Of course, only a small fee is charged. ”

A little bit of a fee?

Minister Goto is a little unsure.

Li Shanhe grinned, and a mouthful of tiny white teeth shone brightly: "Mr. Goto, you must know that 1 platinum record is worth 1 million sales, even if it only charges a $1 licensing fee, it is 360 million yen." Do you think my songs can sell 1 platinum, or even 2 platinum or 3 platinum? ”

Minister Goto was speechless.

He never thought that making a record would have such an exaggerated profiteering, because platinum records are an honor that can only be enjoyed by top singers! Most singers are struggling to make ends meet, living on the stars leaking through the fingers of the record company.

But in Li Shanhe's mouth, it seems that he takes a platinum sale, which is as simple as eating and drinking.

Although he felt very unhappy, Minister Goto also had to admit that the other party did have this strength.

In this way, the signing fee of 500 million is really nothing! 2 platinums a year is more than that!

He got up and said, "Please let me consult the headquarters." ”

"Can't you settle a contract for a million?" Li Shanhe smiled, "Please." ”

After sending Li Shanhe's words to the headquarters, there was also a long silence over there.

The headquarters is also having a headache, facing a billionaire who is not bad for money, it is Sony who begs him, not him who begs Sony. In this negotiation, our side does not have any bargaining chips at all! The other party didn't put Sony on the board and disemboweled, they were all merciful!

After waiting for a long time, just when Minister Goto was a little impatient, a new fax arrived.

He glanced at the instructions above, sighed, and returned to the conference room.

He was talking about how to fight for more interests, but he saw Li Shanhe standing by the window of the conference room, and said with a smile:

"Minister Gotomoto, it seems that there are quite a few familiar faces out there."

Minister Gotomoto's heart suddenly burst out, and he walked to the window to see that the sneaky ambush on the side of the road was not the old opponents of Poli Kanin!

There are also familiar figures from EMI Records, Vap, Warner Bros. and other old rivals.

He closed his eyes and knew that his side had lost, and he was defeated. From beginning to end, the initiative in this negotiation is not in Sony's hands, and it can only be kneaded by others.

Headquarters is still thinking about developing a framework to limit it...... What a stupidity!

"Mr. Li, I'll get straight to the point. The differences between us are too great, so Sony has tailored a 'minimum contract' for you. ”

"Oh? Minimum contract? ”

"Your request, the contract is signed once a year. We want you to be as stable as possible. Therefore, to sum up each other, Sony guarantees that the signing fee and licensing fee of each year are only higher than the previous year; Similarly, when facing a poaching crisis, Sony has the right to sign a contract under the same conditions. ”

In other words, as long as other families come to poach him and leave, Sony can't leave as long as they give the same price.

Li Shanhe nodded: "What about the other parts?" ”

"The signing fee and the license fee, as well as your obligations and Sony's investment resources, can be negotiated in detail in the future, and I think this minimum contract is beneficial to both parties and leaves enough space."

After discussing with the lawyers, Li Shanhe finally agreed to this proposal.

As the other party said, there are many negotiable places in this contract, and only the minimum constraints on both parties are made. The current contract is the most satisfying for both parties.

When Li Shanhe signed the contract, Sony's side cheered.

This contract is significant, and it means that Sony Records' expansion in the United States has a solid foundation. Even if Sony Records can't make a profit, the advertising effect will be visible in the following years, opening up territory for the electrical sector!

Minister Goto is also exhausted, how long has it been since this difficult feeling? Since Sony's founding, it has smashed a world with money all the way, which is really a difficult opponent for a long time.

"Teacher, please stand here and take a group photo together."

In the future, it will be a colleague of a company, and everyone will shout "teacher" one after another.

Li Shanhe smiled, put on the wig, let the hanging hair cover half of his face, and looked like a handsome guy with a cold face, so he took a photo in front of the camera with everyone.

With a click, the photo takes shape.

Soon, this photo appeared on the front pages of major newspapers the next day.
