Chapter 43: Push Waves
Looking at the business card in his hand, and then at the middle-aged man in front of him who claimed to be the president of the office, Shirakawa Kaede looked uncertain.
Could it be that he was really born with a superstar halo? Everywhere you go, you can be stuffed with small cards.
Ahem, the charm is too great, and it's also a distressing thing.
"Aizawa-san, I appreciate it, but I have no plans to debut as an artist."
ridicule is ridicule, but Shirakawa Kaede still politely refused. He has already planned his plans for the next few years, and the artist is not in the plan.
"I don't know, Your Excellency..."
"Oh, Kaede Shirakawa."
"Shirakawa-kun, please don't refuse just yet. Wait a minute... Kaede Shirakawa..."Hidezhen Aizawa suddenly felt that the name was somewhat familiar.
Kaede Shirakawa? Isn't the songwriter of the song "Dragonfly" in the izakaya just now Kaede Shirakawa?!
Aizawa Hidezhen's eyes widened, "Shirakawa-kun, that "Dragonfly" is..."
Shirakawa Kaede smiled and nodded, "I got it by chance, I smiled." ”
Well, Aizawa Hidezhen rushed up with a brisk stride, and no longer cared about any social etiquette. He grabbed Shirakawa Kaede's arm, as if he saw a treasure mountain.
Alas, alas, how can this still be used? Shirakawa Kaede took a step back vigilantly as he broke free of the other party's hand.
This guy doesn't have any special fetishes, right?
"Uh" Aizawa Hidezhen embarrassedly put back his hand that was raised in the air, and then carried forward the spirit of bowing, "I'm really sorry, I was rude just now." ”
"But Shirakawa-kun, please trust me. You have such creative talent, and you have excellent singing talent. Under the operation of Sun Music, he will definitely become a well-known singer-songwriter in the future. ”
Just now, the way Shirakawa Kaede's idol debuted has been silently replaced by Aizawa Hidezhen in his heart to debut as a singer-songwriter.
He is sure that Shirakawa Kaede will become another super idol after the new imperial three families composed of Hiromi Xiang, Hideki Nishijo, and Kenji Sawada.
He even has a unique advantage, being a singer-songwriter.
RB people highly respect people with creative talents, literature, film, music, no matter which field as long as your talent is recognized by the public.
Even if there is a loss of personal morality, everyone will choose to forgive you in the end.
But these can't tempt Shirakawa Kaede, he has seen more exaggerated and influential artists than this in later generations. But everything can't just look at the glamorous side, the intricacies behind it he thinks he can't figure it out now.
Otherwise, what's the point of being a puppet, the closure and xenophobia of these circles of RB are beyond imagination.
Don't you have a creative talent, but when you create, you may be limited to any theme you create.
For the time being, at least for the time being, he doesn't have the idea of doing that yet.
Aizawa Hidezhen saw that Shirakawa Kaede was still not moved, although he was eager to seek talent, but he was helpless.
However, his mind changed and he retreated, "Shirakawa-kun, if you can, can I commission your creation in the future?" ”
Shirakawa Kaede originally wanted to refuse, but for the sake of the other party's sincerity, he nodded again. "If there's a suitable one, no problem. However, there is no guarantee that it will meet your company's expectations. ”
"That's how it should be" Aizawa Hidezhen hurriedly said politely, fortunately, it wasn't for nothing.
Saying goodbye to the enthusiastic and somewhat over-the-top president, Shirakawa Kaede went home.
At the moment of turning around, I saw another person at the intersection not far away, with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in a white sweater, looking here.
It should be Aizawa Hidezhen's companion just now, and when the girl saw Shirakawa Kaede looking over, she met his gaze very boldly, without showing any timidity.
The big eyes are quite flashy, and Shirakawa Kaede left her with the back of her head, and left on her own.
Pu Chi Fazi snorted softly, he was really not a gentleman at all.
Seeing Aizawa Hidezhen's somewhat regretful expression, Wakamatsu Muneo quipped, "Aizawa-kun, how did you get it?" ”
"It's not like nothing," Aizawa shrugged, and then told the two about Shirakawa Kaede.
"I didn't expect that the song "Dragonfly" was written by him." Such a result was also unexpected by Wakamatsu Muneo.
He is in the production department of Sony Music Records, so he naturally understands how difficult it is for a song to sell well, and the large amount of attractive income behind it.
However, the piece of jade he found was not bad, and Wakamatsu looked at Puchi Noriko.
At this time, Puchi Fazi was still trapped, and the young man just now was shocked by the songwriter of the recent hit song "Dragonfly".
A pair of big eyes flashed twice, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Fazi, let's go." Wakamatsu said hello twice before she came back to her senses.
This time, she came to Tokyo completely on leave, and she will return to Fukuoka tomorrow to continue her studies.
As for the next time I come to Tokyo, it will probably be a month away, and my father will be here on a business trip at that time, so I hope everything will go well.
…
Returning from Shibuya, Shirakawa Kaede hadn't sat down yet, and the pager in his pocket began to vibrate again.
Glancing at the number on it, he smiled happily.
Walking over to the landline, he found the business card he had collected last time and began to call back.
"Watanabe-san, I'm Shirakawa."
The phone was picked up, and Kaede Shirakawa was the first to say hello.
"Shirakawa-kun, it's me. I wonder if Shirakawa-kun is still interested in the Blackstone record player? ”
"Watanabe-san, is there a problem with Ling Zun?"
"Uh, don't worry. I'm trying to convince my father that there will be no problem. Well, that's it! ”
As if afraid that Shirakawa Kaede would not believe it, Watanabe Kazumasa specially accentuated his tone. But in Shirakawa's eyes, this was more like comforting himself.
"I take the liberty of asking, I don't know why Watanabe-san and Lingzun have such a big difference? Of course, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer. ”
Shirakawa Kaede is also curious about why one desperately wants to sell, and the other desperately wants to keep.
"There's nothing you can't say,..."
After listening to Watanabe Kazumasa's explanation, Shirakawa Kaede understood what was going on.
The old Watanabe's company started out as a supplier of parts for other record player companies. But with more contact, coupled with the considerable profit margin of the whole machine, the old Watanabe also began to make up his mind to make his own brand of record players.
Thanks to the economic upturn, the national consumption capacity has improved.
After a few years, not to mention how well-known. At least steadily, feeding a factory is not a big problem.
Later, just as Shirakawa Kaede guessed, the old Watanabe, who had worked for half a hundred, suffered a stroke. Unable to maintain the company's operations, the family business can only be handed over to Watanabe, who is uncertain.
However, Kazumasa Watanabe is not interested in record players at all, and he is obsessed with the stock market.
Less than a year after taking over the company, the cash on his books was almost gone. No way, the cash flow is insufficient, but the product can't be left out.
In the end, I can only replace the production with second-level parts under the introduction of friends. The price is the terrible failure rate.
In fact, Kazumasa Watanabe didn't know that the second-level parts introduced by those friends were not cheap at all. It's just that he has no intention of running it, and he doesn't care about these at all.
Because of the problem of product failure rate, Kowatanabe has recently been troubled by the constant complaints about phone calls, and the idea of selling Blackstone record players has become stronger and stronger.
"It's just that my father's business philosophy is different, and in the future, the financial market is the foundation of RB's economic growth."
Hey, you're such a clever little ghost.
Shirakawa Kaede silently gave him a thumbs up.
"Please rest assured that the Blackstone record player has accumulated a good reputation for several years and is absolutely reliable. Father, I will convince him as soon as possible, please be sure to wait for my good news. ”
Hanging up the phone, Shirakawa Kaede didn't believe a word about the good reputation in Watanabe Kazumasa's mouth.
But old Watanabe is a problem there, do you want to help him?
"Torotaro, what has Ota been up to lately?"
