"Mr. Morinaka? Mr. Morinaka? ”

With a few soft calls from Mrs. Nakano, Cao Zhiqiang completely came back to his senses and knew that he had just lost his temper.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang smiled at Mrs. Nakano and said, "I see, it seems that Mrs. Nakano is not at ease, so you have to come and try me alone, right?" ”

Mrs. Nakano naturally nodded and admitted, "That's right, that's right. I know that this is a bit rude, but please forgive me.

After all, since my daughter came back, she has been clamoring to sign a contract as an artist, and it is still a little-known firm, of course I have to find out first. ”

Cao Zhiqiang glanced at Yuri Nakano, who seemed to be a good girl, and then said to Mrs. Nakano again: "Your concerns are right, I don't think what you did is wrong.

In fact, I think that your caution shows that you are very fond of your children, which I would like to see.

After all, frankly speaking, the firm is just a platform, and the essence of signing artists is also an investment.

Since it has invested in artists, it is natural to want artists to achieve something, so that the firm can gain fame and fortune.

But the problem is that after an artist enters the office, he can't hand over everything to the office.

The role of the firm, after all, is still an external factor, whether the artist can succeed, and the internal factor is more important.

In my opinion, the internal factors of an artist, in addition to their own talent and hard work, family members are also very important.

If the family can give comprehensive support, then the artist can certainly go more smoothly.

It's like letting your child go to school, you can't think that after handing your child over to school, you can leave everything to the school.

On the contrary, after handing over the child to the school, it is more important for the parents to be concerned.

After all, children belong to their parents, not to the school.

If the child is not motivated and has bad grades, the school will at most lose a good student, and continue to find other good students to come in without delay.

But for the parents of this child, this is a great grief, right? ”

"That's right!" Mrs. Nakano nodded with deep feeling, "I'm just this one daughter, of course I hope she can achieve something."

In addition, I also respect her choice, so I have to check for her within the scope of my ability, which is what we parents should do.

Originally, I thought that you would be very dissatisfied with what I did, and I even thought of an apology.

But I really didn't expect you to think so thoroughly.

Well, anyway, hearing you say that, I feel more comfortable handing over my child to you.

I believe that with a teacher like you, my family will definitely become an excellent person! ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile, and was about to say a few more kind words, but there was a sudden knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, and then subconsciously turned his head to the office door and said, "Come in!" ”

Soon, the door was pushed open, and a young man in a suit walked in, it was the male secretary assigned to Cao Zhiqiang, Furukawa Yoshiyuki.

Well, in fact, the firm has developed to the present, and there are already many employees below, and it has long been more than just two or three kittens.

Among them, the biggest change is the addition of a General Affairs Division.

The General Affairs Section is similar to the Logistics Department, which means that everything can be managed.

Speaking of the emergence of the General Affairs Division, I have to mention the changes in the Aiyin Office.

As for Aiyin Office, the original purpose of its birth was just to better avoid taxes, and to find a few errand runners who could serve Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori well.

Anyway, as for the Aiyin Office, there are currently only two signed artists, Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori, and the value of the existence of the firm is to provide various logistical support to Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori.

Among them, Akina Nakamori doesn't have much to do because of the relatively small amount of work, and generally only needs to be one person and go to the set to film with Akina Nakamori.

What really needs all kinds of running around and all kinds of troubles is actually the work related to Cao Zhiqiang.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang has released a lot of hit singles, related MTV, music TV commercials, and a movie from the mainland that has just ended, that is, "Love in the Rain".

This often involves contact matters with many other companies, such as copyright fees, labor fees, advertising fees, and so on.

In addition, the clothing brand that Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina engaged in, that is, "Sensen Clothing", although there is only one store at present, it also involves a lot of trivial work.

For example, clothing design, celebrity endorsement, finding a foundry home, etc.

Although later, Akina Nakamori invited a professional manager who has been deeply involved in the garment industry for many years to be in charge of "Morimori Clothing", but because there are still many brand cooperation with Aiyin Office, Aiyin Office still has a lot of things to do.

Not to mention, there has to be an on-call driver.

In other words, Aiyin is no longer a small office with only 4 staff members, but a small and medium-sized office with 11 staff members.

The reason why this is so, of course, is Cao Zhiqiang's idea.

In fact, a company of the size of Aiyin Office didn't need so many staff, four or five were enough, after all, the purpose at the beginning was just to serve Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori.

The reason why so many more people are recruited is that Cao Zhiqiang wants more redundancy.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang knows that Aiyin Law Firm cannot just be a service-oriented company serving Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori, and will eventually go out and become an independent large-scale brokerage company in the future.

In other words, the company must not only have service personnel such as secretaries, drivers, and errands, but also educational talents such as choreographers and arrangers.

In the future, Aiyin will not only be able to poach artists, but also train artists by itself, just like Korean agencies train trainees.

Only the kind of brokerage company that can cultivate the new generation by itself and make its own blood can be called an authentic brokerage company.

It is precisely because of this concept that Cao Zhiqiang spent a lot of money in advance and recruited several choreographers and arrangers.

Among them, especially the dance teacher, I invited a professional dance teacher from Tokyo University of the Arts.

There is also an arranger teacher, who is also a professional music teacher at Tokyo University of the Arts.

Although these teachers come here to work part-time, their professional level is still very good.

After inviting these professional teachers, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly found that the students of Tokyo University of the Arts were also very good, quite cheap, and their respective levels were also good, so he recruited a group of female students majoring in dance and a group of female students who could play orchestral music.

Yes, they are all college students, but they are the kind of seniors who are about to graduate.

Universities in Japan are not allotted, and after graduation, you have to find your own way.

And art universities are actually one of the schools with the least outlets.

Now Cao Zhiqiang can recruit a group of college students in advance and sign an employment agreement with them, which is naturally a happy thing.

Cao Zhiqiang did this just to try to build a star-like dance troupe and an orchestra on his own.

In Cao Zhiqiang's view, Japan's current dance troupes and orchestras are too conservative and do not follow the idol route at all.

In other words, at this time, almost no one in Japanese dance companies and orchestras created them in the same way as star artists.

After graduating, those art students at Tokyo University of the Arts either changed careers to do something else, or became ordinary music teachers, or they were reduced to ordinary folk entertainment groups, with very low influence, and very few of them could really shine.

Although there is a Takarazuka song and dance troupe, the essence of this song and dance troupe is a product of capital, and the business model is not like the later Korean SM company, which is not to create a group of talented people in the way of creating stars, and then let them make their debut in combination.

The Takarazuka Orchestra is more like a kind of self-entertainment with high and low music.

It's just that the brand of the Takarazuka Orchestra is there, and there is capital to support it, and the source of students and channels are opened, so that it can be played.

But ordinary artists can't get in at all.

And frankly speaking, the kind of place like Takarazuka Song and Dance Troupe is really not a good place.

Because later generations have already disclosed the inside story.,That's a place to brainwash the girl.,The rules are strict.,Respect and order.,It's to wash the sister into a plaything like Yamato Nadeshiko who obeys men.,Once you don't obey.,You'll be expelled soon.。

Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want to engage in that kind of thing, and he has all kinds of good songs and songs in his previous life, and he also knows all kinds of Hallyu dance patterns in later generations, and he is not bad for money, so he can naturally try to play trendy things in advance.

It is good to use the Japanese to test the water first, but if it doesn't work, you can sum up the experience, and go back to do one in China.

Later, a certain boss Xu could play in the song and dance troupe, and I Cao someone could naturally play too, and he must play better than him.

However, he knows that in order to create an idol group, it is not enough to have outstanding talents, but also to be good-looking.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang learned the spirit of the Takarazuka Song and Dance Troupe and only looked for women.

In other words, whether it is a dance troupe or an orchestra, the first condition for joining must be a woman, not a man.

The reason why there is this rule is not because of Cao Zhiqiang's bad taste, or because he has some dead heart and wants to play in the harem or something.

The real reason is that this all-woman way is really eye-catching.

And the performance style of women on stage is indeed more varied.

Not to mention anything else, a woman dressed as a man can be very handsome and pleasing to the eye, but if you let a man dress up as a woman, it will be very disgusting.

It's not unreasonable for the Takarazuka Song and Dance Troupe to succeed, and the charm of Nianghua is irresistible, at least in the current Japan.

So, since you want to do it, of course, you have to make it look good and pleasing to the eye.

All women, of course, are a must.

Among female members, talent is not the first consideration, height, weight and appearance, this is the first consideration criteria.

Anyway, students who can be admitted to Tokyo University of the Arts will definitely be able to pass the talent class, after all, they have already passed the examination and screened once.

So what Cao Zhiqiang needs are the good-looking girls among them.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang organized these girls separately and dressed them all in masculine clothes.

For example, in the orchestra, all the girls don't wear skirts, they all wear men's tuxedos, and the hairstyle of their hair is also the kind of gentleman-like big back.

The girls in the dance troupe also wear masculine uniforms, such as military uniforms, police uniforms, and sailor uniforms, but they are all male versions without skirts.

Through this kind of all-motherization and contrast-neutral creation, coupled with good arrangements and choreography, as well as good songs and good songs provided by Cao Zhiqiang, as long as you practice more, you will be able to make a splash sooner or later and make your debut as a group.

Of course, this kind of girl's masculine style is not fixed, just to prepare for their debut, focusing on a sense of contrast.

When they become famous in the future, the style can be diversified, and it is not impossible to wear a small skirt.

And signing a dance troupe and an orchestra is equivalent to increasing the workload, so it is natural to increase the number of people, and it is okay to communicate with these people on a regular basis, or to be a prisoner.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang has spent a lot of money on organizing these people, and it is impossible to really support idlers, and the usual training amount must keep up.

In this way, it is necessary to recruit more people.

Then, as more and more new people were hired, the flat management of the original president and secretary was no longer possible, and one more department had to be created, that is, the General Affairs Section, and then the General Affairs Section would manage the staff of those offices.

In short, the largest department of Aiin Office is the General Affairs Division.

It doesn't matter if it's a secretary or a driver, as long as it's in charge of logistics, it's all under the control of this general affairs section.

As for the General Affairs Section, the president is nominally directly in charge of Akina Nakamori, but in fact Naomi Hosokawa is in charge.

And Naomi Hosokawa, who was originally Akina Nakamori's secretary, was a top student who graduated from the University of Tsukuba.

The University of Tsukuba is not well known, but in Japan, although this university is not as good as the University of Tokyo, it is actually a very good university, similar to the later 985 universities in China.

Having said that, this Furukawa Yoshiyuki, who also graduated from the University of Tsukuba, is just a history major, so it is not easy to find a job.

Of course, if this guy goes back to the countryside, he should be able to find a good job with the name of a graduate of the University of Tsukuba, at least he should be able to become an elementary school teacher.

But the question is, who wants to go back to the countryside when they come to Tokyo?

And Furukawa Yoshiyuki is Hosokawa Naomi's apprentice, and later after a class reunion, Hosokawa Naomi took the initiative to recruit him for some reason, so he came.

Whether there are other cats in this, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't know.

For now, Furukawa is one of the few male employees in the firm, and the youngest and most educated male employee, with a master's degree in history.

Maybe because of his master's degree in history, he has a first-class level in word processing, and he has no problem quoting classics, especially because he knows a lot about Chinese history and allusions, and he can talk to Cao Zhiqiang.

In addition, he can drive, he looks okay, and he is very delicate, so as long as Cao Zhiqiang comes to the company, he basically works as a secretary for Cao Zhiqiang.

As for the time when Cao Zhiqiang was away, it was of course under the direct management of Naomi Hosokawa of the General Affairs Division.

Then, with Furukawa's precedent, others recommended their friends and relatives to work.

After all, Aiyin Office has less money and more atmosphere, and finding friends to come over to work can better form gangs.

Originally, Akina Nakamori was not happy to find so many people, but Cao Zhiqiang felt that it would be good to have a few more people, at least they could take turns to work and add more redundancy.

In this way, if the firm expands in the future, there is no need to worry about no one being available.

Among them, Cao Zhiqiang did not come to the company often, so he did not have an exclusive secretary, but when needed, he transferred a person from the General Affairs Department to be the secretary.

"Furukawa." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Yes, President."

Furukawa Yoshiyuki bowed first, and then raised his head in a proper manner.

"Professor Ishiyama just called and said that he liked the piece you gave him last time, and that he had already asked the girl orchestra to step up rehearsals.

Now that the orchestra has rehearsed that piece very well, I hope you can go over and see for yourself if you have time to see what is left to chance.

If that's all right, I'd love to show you in person, and he's looking forward to seeing you in person. ”

"Oh, yes." Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "It's only been three days, so it's been rehearsed so quickly?" ”

Furukawa Yoshiyuki smiled slightly: "This, I don't know, but Professor Ishiyama said so, and it's no longer a problem." ”

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Okay, in that case, if you go back to the phone, just say that I will go over and see it in person, in addition, hurry up and prepare the car, I will go to Dongyi immediately." ”

"Yes, understood." Furukawa Yoshiyuki nodded, "I'll go and prepare!" ”

After speaking, Furukawa Yoshiyuki bowed to Cao Zhiqiang again, and then exited the office.

As soon as Furukawa Yoshiyuki left, Mrs. Nakano immediately said, "Mr. Morinaka, since you have something to do, let's get busy first, and we'll make an appointment next time?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What's next time, what's so difficult about signing a contract, isn't it just a matter of signing." ”

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to pick up the contract, wrote his name on the part he wanted to sign, and then handed it directly to Yuki Tianhai: "Come, sign the contract." ”

Amami Yuxi blinked, immediately took the pen with a smile, and then signed his name wherever Cao Zhiqiang asked for without looking at the contract.

In this way, it is officially signed.

After the signing was over, Mrs. Nakano wanted to take her daughter away, but Cao Zhiqiang suddenly said: "Alas, wait, don't worry!" Mrs. Nakano, Miss Yuri, are you free now? ”

This time, before Mrs. Nakano could speak, Yuki Amami spoke first: "Not busy, is there something wrong?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "If you are not busy, why don't you go to Tokyo University of the Arts together to see the performance of an orchestra under our firm?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Yuki Amami nodded hurriedly, "Of course I'm happy!" ”

Seeing that her daughter had already agreed first, Mrs. Nakano smiled bitterly, and then nodded to Cao Zhiqiang: "Yes, if we can, of course we are happy to go over and have a look." ”

"That's great!" Cao Zhiqiang stood up with a smile, "Let's go together, even if it is, let you feel the true strength of our firm in advance!" (End of chapter)
