581 Mom-and-pop Aiyin Office
Whether it is to let people bring movies back to China, re-declare customs to enter Japan, secretly buy an offshore company, and then put 500 million US dollars into it, these things are all things that cannot be made public for Cao Zhiqiang.
In addition, Cao Zhiqiang's main work during this time, or the work on the surface, is to produce his second Japanese single - "Tsunami"!
That's right, this song is also plagiarized, but it is plagiarized from the song of Cao Zhiqiang's previous life of a Japanese band "Southern Star", and the lead singer is Yoshisuke Kuwata.
Cao Zhiqiang chose this song as his second Japanese song, in fact, there is no other reason, simply because the sales of this song are high enough.
In Cao Zhiqiang's past life, this single "Tsunami", which only appeared in 2000, was at its peak when it debuted, and it reached the top ten in the Japanese ORICON Trusted Chart for 41 consecutive weeks.
The sales of this single were naturally terrifying, with 2.935 million copies sold that year, making it the highest-selling single CD in Japanese history, and the total sales of the single reached 25 million copies, ranking third in the history of Japan's public trust charts.
If you don't count the 70s, then this song is the number one on the overall singles chart, and it can't even compare to a best-selling song in the 90s.
You know, it was in 2000, at that time, the Japanese music scene had begun to decline in all aspects, and this song could suddenly rise against the trend when the whole went downhill, and finally became the third place on the singles chart, which is completely ironclad proof of the strength.
Even Cao Zhiqiang's previous song "Jun がいるだけで", in terms of sales and influence, is not as good as this "Tsunami".
Since this song has such a good result, Cao Zhiqiang has no reason not to take it.
After all, he has made a good start, so the second song must make persistent efforts and create more brilliance, so that everyone can remove suspicion and affirm his status as a powerful singer.
Especially this song is written by Cao Zhiqiang himself, and the copyright is in his hands, so that once the sales of the song are high, his income will also be high.
Also, because of the results of the first song, Cao Zhiqiang signed a new VAM agreement with the production company Warner Pioneer at the time of the second song.
According to the VAM agreement, if the song can sell more than 300,000 copies in the first week, then "Aiyin Agency" will get 15% of the sales share.
If it can exceed 500,000 copies, "Aiyin Office" will get 20% of the sales share.
If less than 300,000 copies are sold in the first week, the sales share will continue to be maintained at 12%.
What needs to be explained here is that "Aiyin Office" is a partnership between Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori, and Akina Nakamori is a legal person's office, and there are currently two signed artists, one is Akina Nakamori, and the other is Cao Zhiqiang.
As for Cao Zhiqiang's original Sata office, the contract has already been terminated.
In fact, the person who proposed to terminate the contract was not Cao Zhiqiang, he was not so impersonal, and it was Masashi Sada who really proposed the termination.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Masashi Sada's liver disease has worsened, and his father has also fallen ill, so Masashi Sada's recent interest in continuing to go to the music scene has to recuperate first.
Fortunately, some time ago, Masashi Sada was promoted and forced to be hospitalized, which made it early to find out that his liver disease had worsened, and if he was not actively treated, it was likely to deteriorate into liver cancer.
Perhaps frightened by these remarks, Masashi Sada not only forcibly quit smoking and drinking, but also listened to the doctor's words and pushed away all entertainment, and even the Sada office chose to close temporarily.
Since Sada Masashi is recuperating from illness these days and can't continue to work, it can't delay Cao Zhiqiang's future, so Sada Masashi took the initiative to find Cao Zhiqiang a few days ago and proposed to terminate the contract with him.
Seeing Sada Masashi's situation, Cao Zhiqiang had nothing to say, so he could only comfort him a few words, and promised each other that they would be friends forever, so he signed a termination agreement with the other party.
After the termination of the contract, Cao Zhiqiang no longer belonged to the firm, and originally Sada Masashi wanted to recommend Cao Zhiqiang to go to the office opened by his friend, but Cao Zhiqiang refused.
Because Cao Zhiqiang suddenly found that in fact, he didn't need to sign with other firms at all.
The reason is very simple, that is, Cao Zhiqiang does not need it.
Generally, Japanese singers sign contracts with firms, mostly because the firm has strong connections and strength, which can better package and promote a singer, and then eliminate all kinds of cumbersome affairs for singers.
To put it bluntly, the firm is a service-oriented intermediary that can help singers better expand their contacts and business, so that singers can avoid the disturbance of mundane affairs.
But for the real power, there is no need for this at all.
It's like Cao Zhiqiang, if every song he plays is a hit, and then he himself becomes a real powerhouse, then he doesn't need to beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother, but the record company begging to come to him.
Of course, the firm also has the advantage of being able to avoid taxes reasonably.
Because if a singer signs a contract with a record company alone, the income generated will have to pay an expensive personal income tax.
Japan's personal income tax is a progressive tax, and the more you earn, the more you pay.
But if you have a firm, you are exempt from a lot of progressive taxes.
Of course, Cao Zhiqiang, as a foreigner who does not have long-term residency, cannot open a business office in Japan under current Japanese law.
So Cao Zhiqiang asked Akina Nakamori to open a firm in his own name, and Cao Zhiqiang was only a shareholder.
Foreigners are allowed to take a stake in a Japanese office, and there is no limit to the percentage of shares they can hold.
Therefore, the "Aiyin Office" opened in the name of Akina Nakamori is Akina Nakamori, and the president is also Akina Nakamori, but the chairman is Cao Zhiqiang.
The reason for this is the shareholding ratio.
The current shareholding ratio of Aiyin Office is 28 points, that is, Akina Nakamori accounts for 20%, and Cao Zhiqiang accounts for 80%.
Because Cao Zhiqiang occupies an absolute majority of shares, he is a well-deserved president.
Needless to say, when the money is divided in the future, Cao Zhiqiang can share more.
However, this shareholding ratio is only useful for money at present, and the specific executive power of the company is still in the hands of the legal person and president, that is, Akina Nakamori.
In the final analysis, Cao Zhiqiang does not have a long-term visa, so he can invest, and even have an advantage in shares, but he cannot hold an administrative position such as the company's legal person and president.
Therefore, even if Cao Zhiqiang occupies a larger proportion of shares, he only has the right to dividends and suggestions, but nominally he does not have the right to manage the firm.
This situation is common in many joint ventures in Japan.
For example, in many large groups in Japan, if you look at the proportion of shares in the company, that is, foreign capital accounts for more than 51 percent, but the actual control of the company is still in the hands of the Japanese, and most of the reason is that those foreign controlling parties do not have the status of Japanese nationals, nor do they have Japanese visas, and cannot hold positions in Japanese companies.
Similarly, there are Korean companies, such as the famous Samsung company.
Everyone knows that the controller of South Korea's Samsung Company is the Lee family, but in fact, the Lee family's shares in Samsung are only 2 percent.
But the Samsung family actually controls the huge Samsung family by virtue of these two percent of the shares, and even if foreign capital accounts for more shares, it actually has no real right to speak, and can only share the benefits.
There are reasons for this, such as cross-shareholding, but the biggest reason is nationality.
None of the foreign investors who invest in Samsung have Korean nationality, and according to the relevant laws, they cannot have actual control and management rights in Korean companies, such as the president and president.
Unless the president is also Japanese and has a lot of connections, the president cannot directly intervene in the company, and the president can only directly manage the company.
In short, this Aiyin office, in fact, to put it bluntly, is the husband-and-wife shop of Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori.
Originally, Akina Nakamori had no intention of opening an office, all in order to help Cao Zhiqiang, so he reluctantly opened an office and became the so-called president and legal person.
Of course, before that, Akina Nakamori first quit the Kenne office and became a freelance artist without the constraints of the company.
Originally, because the contract had not expired, it was impossible for Akina Nakamori to withdraw easily.
But because Cao Zhiqiang found President Yamamoto of Warner Pioneer, the president of Yanyin also gave President Yamamoto a face, and he didn't dare to make any requests, so he simply terminated the contract with Akina Nakamori.
After terminating the contract with Yanyin, Akina Nakamori turned around and took Cao Zhiqiang's money and opened an "Aiyin Office" in her own name, and then signed a contract with Cao Zhiqiang at the speed of light.
Akina Nakamori herself would not do these behaviors, she listened to Cao Zhiqiang's words to do them.
There's no way, Akina Nakamori is a typical love brain now, once she falls in love, she obeys her lover's words.
Not to mention giving money to Akina Nakamori and letting Akina Nakamori open an office, even if Cao Zhiqiang sold Akina Nakamori, even took her to snorkel, and then quietly killed her, it is estimated that she will die with a smile, and she will die without regrets.
Of course, Cao Zhiqiang will not let Akina Nakamori suffer.
Originally, Cao Zhiqiang wanted Nakamori Akina to take more shares, and even wanted Nakamori Akina to occupy an absolute majority of the shares, so that Nakamori Akina would justifiably become the company's largest shareholder and president.
It was Akina Nakamori herself who rejected the proposal.
The reason is simple, that is, Akina Nakamori does not want her family to know.
According to Akina Nakamori, her family is very greedy, if she knows that Akina Nakamori is not only the legal person of this company, but also occupies the absolute majority of the shares, then the company is inconspicuous, once the company is prosperous in the future, they will inevitably come to find a bargain.
And Nakamori Akina believes that although this company was opened by her, the money was made by Cao Zhiqiang, and the future business planning or something, it must also be Cao Zhiqiang's operation, Nakamori Akina just occupies a seat, and does not understand anything.
Therefore, Akina Nakamori can't let her family deprive Cao Zhiqiang of the property that belongs to him.
Well, it's a very clear dish, in simple words, it's a girl extrovert.
In other words, Akina Nakamori loves Cao Zhiqiang very much now, but she doesn't have much affection for her own family, and she doesn't usually interact much.
It's just that Akina Nakamori was also very filial in the past, especially filial to her mother, so she secretly sent money to her mother every month.
But since living with Cao Zhiqiang, Akina Nakamori has not sent money back, this is that after Akina Nakamori and Cao Zhiqiang lived together, there was basically no work, and there was a lot of income missing.
In other words, Akina Nakamori's love brain is also targeted.
She just obeys the people she likes, and if it's not her lover, even if it's a blood relative, she can be cold-hearted.
For example, her brothers, sisters and sisters, she basically doesn't interact, and even in her previous life, she cut off contact with her family, which shows Akina Nakamori's determination.
But in the face of the man she likes, Akina Nakamori suddenly became like cerebral palsy and completely lost her normal judgment.
Cao Zhiqiang didn't know what to say about this, after all, strictly speaking, he was a vested interest.
Cao Zhiqiang can only try to be as good as possible to Akina Nakamori and try not to disappoint her, and there is no other way.
In short, after using the identity of Akina Mori in the love brain to open an "Aiyin Agency", Cao Zhiqiang became a signed artist of this office.
Since it is a mom-and-pop shop, and Akina Nakamori is obedient to Cao Zhiqiang's words, then the contract is naturally beneficial and how to come.
Of course, this mom-and-pop shop is not only Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori, but also recruits two female staff members to help Akina Nakamori handle daily business.
For example, some printing contracts, mailing contracts, docking record companies, running banks, and ordinary business are all done by those two female staff.
In fact, originally, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to find two men, after all, he was more durable.
It's Akina Nakamori who is not happy, afraid that Cao Zhiqiang will be jealous in the future, plus she is a woman, and she is not comfortable with strange men all day long, so she recruits all women.
Fortunately, at this time, there are many female office workers in Japan, especially female college students, most of whom are eager to have a serious job after graduation, rather than finding a man to marry early.
The desire of Japanese women to marry and become housewives after graduation is after the bursting of the economic bubble, especially after the 21st century.
In fact, Cao Zhiqiang asked Akina Nakamori, Akina Nakamori said that if she couldn't sing, she also wanted to be a housewife, but unfortunately for various reasons, she couldn't be a housewife early, she could only sing as an artist, and when she sang and sang, she liked the feeling of singing.
So now let Akina Nakamori choose, she is also very entangled, whether to retire and become a housewife, or continue to sing.
Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang didn't mind Akina Nakamori showing up and singing, and even encouraged her to go out to work, so Akina Nakamori didn't have to worry about it.
And after opening her own office, Akina Nakamori said on the surface that she didn't know anything, but in fact, she was excited, she did everything herself, and she laughed and laughed with the two girls she recruited all day long, and she was like sisters.
Of course, having said that, Akina Nakamori also has her own little Jiujiu, and the two girls she recruited are all fat and round.
That is, he looks young and has a good education, but he is only 1.55 meters tall, and he doesn't look good, at least Cao Zhiqiang doesn't have much appetite at first glance.
In fact, most Japanese women are not good-looking, at least in Cao Zhiqiang's aesthetic opinion.
It's just that Japan is a developed country after all, and Japanese women are also very good at dressing up now, and they look more fashionable at first glance, but once you look closely, Cao Zhiqiang soon has no appetite.
Nakamori Akina understood Cao Zhiqiang's aesthetics and deliberately reversed the operation.
The result is also very good, anyway, she doesn't have to worry about Cao Zhiqiang being hooked up by the female staff of her own office now.
Therefore, the love brain does not mean that there is no IQ, in some aspects, the love brain can be shrewd.
