Chapter 484: An Ancient and Not Clever Deception
It would be nice if there was a surprise.
This is probably not only Hao Ping's desire, but also the desire of more people.
For example, Takami Ohara.
The weather in Tokyo is already milder than in Hokkaido, but the early morning of late November is the coldest time of the day, and few people can stand it. Takami Ohara gently held his hand to his mouth and sighed twice to warm his hand.
She made an appointment today.
This is Minato-ku, Tokyo, and the villa of the Uehara Foundation is located here. But Takami Ohara didn't come to Uehara's house today, her goal was the building in front of her.
1-7-1 Konan, Minato-ku, Tokyo, is the building where Sony Corporation is located in Tokyo. As one of the world's top record labels, the star-studded names behind it undoubtedly prove that Sony is guilty of a heinous crime...... Well, it's the wealthy.
Although the weather was a little cold at this time, Takami Ohara's mood was hot.
One by one, she fantasizes about the names behind this building, and perhaps it won't be long before she joins them as one of the most recognizable singers in the world. Thinking about it, she was still a little excited.
- No, Takami Ohara!
This will not work, such thoughts will make you arrogant. Even if the original plan succeeds, the singer's path will not be achieved overnight, and he will definitely have to go through a lot of hardships, so he can't be excited from now on, and he must be prepared to the fullest.
Also, if you get too excited, you won't have a good impression.
She breathed a sigh of relief, hid in the corner of the building to avoid the cold winter wind, and relaxed the guitar bag she was carrying, giving her somewhat strained shoulders a rest.
Mr. Hirano, I'm a little late.
……
……
Matsushita Shimizu looked at the girl squatting in the corner with a little curiosity.
This is the headquarters of Sony Music, and there are often many people with dreams and delusions who come here with the idea of pie in the sky, hoping to become Sony's signed artists. Girls like this are not uncommon.
For such a person, he not only finds it boring, but even finds it a little funny.
But what is surprising is that after she walked here, the girl did not react, but continued to squat in the corner, occasionally raising her head to glance at the passers-by, and then continued to squat in the corner of the wall and breathe cold.
It didn't look like waiting for an opportunity, but like waiting for someone.
"Did you make an appointment?" He thought so, but it still felt strange.
After thinking about it carefully, it is true that there is no impression of this girl in my memory, but if it is a newly signed artist under Sony Music, it should not appear here. Could it be that they are going the wrong way?
With this in mind, she walked over quietly.
"Hello."
The girl squatting in the corner seemed a little overwhelmed, and looked at her with a little trepidation: "You...... Hello. ”
The girl in front of her was sure that she didn't recognize her, which made her even more strange, "I see you've been squatting here for a long time, is there something wrong?" ”
However, the girl in front of her seemed to have misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I'm not doing strange things here, I made an appointment." He's coming right away......"
I really made an appointment.
She looked back at the building behind her, and then at the girl in front of her strangely.
After a while, he sighed and asked, "Are you waiting for a Sony employee?" ”
"Yes......" Takami Ohara thought for a moment, not knowing whether to continue answering. After all, her situation is not above board.
"Tell me the name, I'll help you ask." Matsushita Shimizu has basically confirmed that the girl in front of her is probably in the wrong place, she didn't suspect that the girl in front of her was lying, for a while she learned micro-expressions out of interest, and it could be seen that this girl was not lying.
So it's really a newly signed artist? But how did you get here?
"That...... It's Mr. Hirano. Takami Ohara thought for a while, that Mr. Hirano was already more than two hours late, and it would be great if he could help ask, so he had to trouble this kind sister in front of him.
"Hirano...... This surname is all too common. Matsushita Shimizu sighed slightly, the girl in front of her looked a little stunned. Such a child, even if he signs a contract, is not necessarily easy to mix.
"Ah...... I'm sorry. Only then did Takami Ohara react, "It's Mr. Kazuo Hirano." ”
Kazuo Hirano, this name is unfamiliar.
"Wait, I'll help you ask." Out of caution, Matsushita Shimizu didn't take the girl directly inside, but only let her stay where she was and go in to help ask.
"Yes, thank you so much."
……
……
"Kazuo Hirano, who?"
Matsushita Shimizu's acquaintance looked at her and asked a strange rhetorical question.
"Could it be someone from another subsidiary?" Matsushita Shimizu subconsciously sensed that something was wrong, but still asked more.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask for you."
Although I don't know why Matsushita Shimizu is curious about this matter, her acquaintances still help her deal with this matter.
Soon back, though.
"I asked people from other subsidiaries, and there were a total of 23 people with the surname Hirano, but there was no one named Kazuo Hirano."
"No?" Matsushita Shimizu said strangely.
"I'm sure there isn't." The acquaintance nodded, "At least, there is no one here in Tokyo." ”
……
……
"It can't be!"
The little girl in front of her was a little excited.
"How can there be no such person, obviously there is, obviously there is......"
Matsushita Shimizu wanted to see the change in her expression, proving that she was lying. In this case, at most, she was deceived once, and there was no serious loss.
However, the expression of the girl in front of her made her have to think in the worst direction.
She looked at the excited girl in front of her with a little distress, and then sighed slightly.
The agent knows about it, and I'm going to say I'm nosy.
"Don't worry, calm down." Matsushita Shimizu soothed, "You tell me what the situation is first." ”
That being said, Matsushita Shimizu has basically determined the truth of the matter, and it is really ancient and classic...... What about deception.
"That...... Mr. Hirano clearly said that he could help me find a way to sell records through Sony's channels...... Then ......"
Perhaps it was Matsushita Shimizu's precise and direct instructions that gave Takami Ohara a direction in front of her, and the girl began to slowly recount her experience.
However, the process, as Matsushita Shimizu thought.
The story is old-fashioned and boring, a girl with a dream of being a singer is deceived by a man who claims to be able to go through Sony's music channels, and the deception is not very clever, and even a little inferior.
But there will always be people who are fooled.
For example, the girl in front of you.
"Mr. Hirano said that as long as he gives him a little money, he can get through the channel, let me wait for him here today, and he will take me to meet the manager in charge of record publishing......" Takami Ohara's voice was already trembling slightly, but the girl was still a little strong and did not cry.
So, the words are still extremely clear.
It's just that......
Matsushita Shimizu sighed softly, she didn't know what to say.
However, looking at the girl in front of her, she knew that if she didn't tell the truth, this girl might never admit the reality...... In that case, you might be fooled a second time.
It is not uncommon to be deceived in a row.
Out of this consideration, Matsushita Shimizu was ruthless and said: "Although I can't be sure that there are no such people in Sony who collect money to do things, but ...... The money you give is simply not enough to get through this. ”
"The channel of a record costs several times, or even dozens of times, the amount of money you give. Not to mention Sony's channels...... There is no doubt that you have been scammed. ”
"And ...... This is Sony's headquarters, and the people here are not responsible for what you say. ”
Matsushita Shimizu said: "The crook left the address here, which means that he doesn't even know where the door of Sony Music is open." ”
