Colonel Parker immediately took out the contract, and at the same time took out a pen and shoved it into Bart's hand. He said, "Consider? Think no more! You've been thinking about it for so long, haven't you seen everyone else leave? I've missed out on so many companies, do you still want to miss my opportunity? ”

Bart immediately retorted: "They left after we rejected it, it's not that they didn't want to sign with us. As long as we want, we can still sign contracts with those companies. ”

"Oops! I also know that your son is very hot right now. But you must know that fame is such a thing, it comes when it is said, and it leaves when it is said. Being famous now doesn't mean you'll be famous in the future, isn't it? Therefore, I said that you still have to sign the contract as soon as possible, otherwise if you lose your reputation, you still want to sign such a good contract, then it will be difficult, difficult! ”

Colonel Parker was as clever as a tongue, and at that moment, he had convinced both the Carpenters. Bart picked up the pen and was about to sign his name when suddenly a hand next to him snatched the contract.

The hand reached so quickly and suddenly that almost no one noticed.

It was very fast, and the contract was in hand in one fell swoop.

"Alex!" The Carpenter soon saw that the owner of the hand was their eldest son.

When Colonel Parker saw him, a trace of unhappiness passed through his heart, but instead of showing it on his face, he said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be our future star Alex!" You've come just in time, we're getting ready to sign a contract. ”

"Why don't you go to school? It's not school time yet. Angel looked at the wall clock on the wall and immediately understood that her son had skipped school again.

"The stuff taught in school was boring, and I was going to fall asleep sitting there. Later, I thought, since it's time to sleep, I'd just go home and sleep. The teacher agreed with me and let me go. ”

Angel didn't get angry when she heard this, after all, her son was so smart, and the things taught in school had long been useless to him.

"You're back just in time, we're about to sign a contract with Colonel Parker, take a look."

"Sign a contract? I have to be there with Richard to sign, Colonel Parker, you're not being kind enough to do that! ”

Colonel Parker saw that things were changing, so he became anxious, and he smiled, "Aren't you going to school, I just convinced your parents." ”

Alex didn't say anything, he picked up the contract and flipped through it page by page. There was nothing wrong with his expression, but it still made Colonel Parker feel worried.

"The contract I gave was already the best deal. If you don't believe me, go and ask and see which company can give you such a good contract. Colonel Parker kept talking as Alex looked at the contract. One will say how strong the Rca company he represents is, and how good the contract is for newcomers.

After reading the contract, Alex looked into Colonel Parker's eyes and asked, "I took a look, and this contract is only with you, not with Rnetbsp; Colonel Parker nodded without changing his face and said, "yes, what's wrong with that?" Sign with me first, and then I can fight for the benefits of Rca for you. ”

Before Alex could say anything, he turned to the Carpenter and said, "You guys, you don't know much about the record industry. In this industry, you can't find a good broker. ”

When Bart heard this, his face changed greatly, and he stammered, "Then, then I...... Am I not exactly a broker? ”

Colonel Parker shrugged his shoulders and said, "You're an agent?" I don't think you even know what an agent is. Let me ask you, can you bring the two of them a sky-high contract? Can you give them a chance to be on TV? Can you? ”

Bart was angry and said angrily: "We don't need you to be an agent, we won't sign this contract." ”

Colonel Parker spread his hands and said, "Don't, don't do that." There's something to discuss, okay. Since you can be their agent, then you can be their agent. You win, how about we change the contract and sign it? ”

"What contract?" Bart asked, a little strangely.

"I still have a lot of company resources on hand, so why don't you authorize me, and then I'll help you connect with those big companies. For example, for companies like Rca, cBs can also be used. You can choose, if the conditions are met, you mention, and I will help you negotiate. ”

"Authorizing you to talk?" The Carpenter were a little ignorant of the concept, and they did not see any benefit to Colonel Parker here.

"Yes, as long as I have your permission, I can talk to those companies. It's much better than waiting for someone to come to talk like you, and the terms of such a negotiation are definitely better than talking about it yourself. ”

"Can you make sure of all the requests we make?" Angel asked.

"Sure to make sure of your request, you don't have to worry about that. I'm here to speak on your side, for your sake, of course. Colonel Parker said with an oath.

"It looks like a good idea." When Bart heard this, he was a little moved, and he almost agreed. Luckily, Angel stopped him.

"Let the kids call the shots, Alex, what do you think? If you say sign, then sign! Angel decided to let her son come. They agreed to all the conditions they had put forward before, and it seemed that they no longer had any reason to object.

"It's okay to sign a contract, but you have to give us a license fee of 2o yuan, which is paid in one lump sum!" Alex said suddenly, and at the end he added: "Dollars! $2o million! ”

When Colonel Parker heard Alex's words, he looked as if he had been punched, and he was about to be happy, but he didn't expect to be poured a basin of cold water head-on.

“2…… 2o thousand? Colonel Parker wondered if he had misheard.

"$2o million?" The Carpenter couple were stunned by their son's offer, they never thought about how much 2o million would be, and originally thought that giving tens of thousands of dollars in licensing fees was already a high price. I didn't expect Alex to ask for a scary price!

The 2o million in this era is not the 2o million of later generations, nor is it 2o million yuan, but 2o million US dollars. In the fifties of the twentieth century, the purchasing power of the US dollar was still very strong. At this time, the Bretton Woods monetary system had not yet collapsed, and $35 was still worth an ounce of gold. In other words, $2o dollars is worth almost 5 kilograms of gold. Dollars, dollars, dollars is not a name for nothing.

"You're not mistaken, I'm here to help you. Why should I give you money? Colonel Parker exclaimed aggrievedly.

"Didn't you say you wanted us to give you a license, then you should give us a license fee. There is no licensing fee, so dare you to talk to us? In case the conversation collapses, or something happens, whose loss is it? ”

In the face of Colonel Parker's disguise, Alex was unwavering, and he refused to let go of this condition.

"Then your licensing fee is too high, is it really $2o? Can't be less? ”

"Yes, it's $2o million! Neither Richard nor I would have considered signing with any company until we got that amount! Alex shook this over, ignored Colonel Parker, and left.

"You...... You ......" Colonel Parker's smiling face froze, and he almost cursed. He wondered if he had been tricked by Alex, otherwise how could someone offer such a ridiculous price.

"I'm sorry!" Bart looked at Colonel Parker apologetically and explained, "Alex was born with his own opinions, and although he doesn't talk much, he always does what he decides. ”

"Since Alex and they have decided so, then we parents can't force them." Angel said with a look of pity on her face.

"Whew! That's it. Colonel Parker held back his anger and did not act as a pretend. But before leaving, he said, "You better think about it!" The conditions I gave were already the best, and I believe that no one would give such high conditions again. It's not that $2o can't be given, it's just that it has to be taken one step at a time. I'll give it to you sooner or later, even if it's 1oo thousand. ”

"Yes, yes, we'll talk to him!" The Carpenter couple nodded repeatedly, they also felt that Alex's price was a lion's mouth, and it was estimated that no one could afford to pay a license fee of $2o.

When Colonel Parker was gone, Angel suddenly said, "This guy is too cunning!" ”

Bart looked at her in surprise, wondering why she was saying that about Colonel Parker.

Angel glanced at Bart and said angrily, "You haven't seen it yet." He wants an empty glove white wolf! As long as he gets our authorization, when the time comes, he will go to other companies to sell it, and it is estimated that it will be more than this price! ”

"Can it really be sold for $2o?" Bart was a little moved when he heard this, and wanted to bring Colonel Parker back to talk.

"Don't underestimate Alex's value, I guess it's more than that."

"$2o million, I don't think I've ever seen that much money in my life."

"Alright, stop chattering. You're still dead, I think Alex has a plan in his heart, so let's listen to him. ”

Yes, during this time, Alex has already figured it out. It's better to work for others than to work for yourself, whether it's selling 2o million or 1oo thousand, it's all selling your future cheaply. He believes that as long as there is a platform, he can make millions of dollars.

Now all he was waiting for was an opportunity, a chance to soar. The risk of this opportunity is not small, but the reward should be large, and as long as it is successful, it will have a steady stream of funds all at once.
