"Mike, are you sure? Is it this company? Are we in the wrong place? ”

Mike's father, Jackson Sr., took his five sons to the entertainment company building newly arranged by Du Yongxiao, looked up, and said, "I don't remember that there is a record company in this building!" Don't underestimate me, I know this kind of thing very well, I have run many record companies, and I know everyone big and small! If nothing else, as soon as those bosses see me, they will invite me to dinner! ”

"Dad, since you're so good, why don't you sign a record company?"

"That's it, even the meal is invited, are they still reluctant to pay that little money?"

Old Jackson blushed, "Go, go!" You little bastards, little bastards only guess! Those bosses respect me so much, but they are embarrassed to sign me because they are too respectful! ”

"Oh, I see!"

"We get it!"

"Got a fart! Go upstairs! Old Jackson scolded, "If it weren't for the drag of you five little rabbit cubs, Lao Tzu would have become famous!" ”

Boom!

A few people went upstairs, turned left and right according to the telephone address, and soon found the newly established and hot "Polygram" record company.

"Huh? Isn't it, this is - the record label? The elder Jackson stared dumbfoundedly at the white tape at the door of his office, on which the words "Polygram Records" were written in Chinese and English.

"It should be here. It's just a record label here. Mike said cautiously.

The corners of Old Jackson's eyes jumped: "I suddenly had a bad feeling." ”

"Me too!" The four brothers said, then looked at Mike together: "This hunch is very strong. There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Mike swallowed, "What do you mean?" ”

"It means -——"

Call!

A gust of cold wind came in and out of the window.

Crash!

Blow away the pasted "Polygram" white paper.

Everyone looked at the Polygram "signboard" blown away by the wind, and then turned their heads to look at Mike: "It means that this company is too shabby." ”

Mike opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

Old Jackson sighed, "If you come, you will be safe, and then we will see how it goes." ”

As he spoke, Old Jackson turned and took the lead in knocking on the door.

Knock knock.

No response.

"Uh, isn't there anybody?"

Old Jackson had no choice but to raise his hand again-——

Knock knock.

Still no response.

"Dad, we're not going to be tricked, are we?"

"It's over, Mike must be lying!"

Everyone looked at Mike.

Mike's face flushed, and he didn't know how to explain it.

At this time—

"Excuse me, you're blocking the door!"

A voice rang out behind the crowd.

"Huh?"

When everyone looked back, they saw a middle-aged man standing behind them with a bucket and a rag.

He was in his forties, short and stocky, smiling, and Chinese.

"I'm sorry, this office is mine! You're in the way. "This person is Yan Xiong.

Yan Xiong saw that Old Jackson and the others didn't react, so he could only point to the office and then to himself, "It, my work, do you understand?" ”

"Oh!"

Old Jackson and the others hurriedly dodged away.

It's rude to block someone's door.

"Thank you!" Yan Xiong carried the bucket, opened the door, and pushed the door in.

Crunch.

The door was closed.

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned.

That's not right!

Old Jackson hurried over and knocked on the door.

Knock knock.

"Who?"

Crunch!

Yan Xiong opened the door, glanced outside, and was stunned: "Uh, why haven't you left yet?" ”

"We're here for an interview, no, we're here to sign a contract!"

"So many people for you?" Yan Xiong was stunned for a while, looking at everyone, as if Du Yongxiao had only told him about signing a contract, why did a lot of them pop up.

Seeing that old Jackson and others were going to squeeze inside-——

"Wait! Wait! ”

Yan Xiong hurriedly stopped them, "I'm sorry, everyone! Which of you is Mr. Mike Jackson? ”

"I'm his father!"

"I didn't ask you!"

"I'm his brother!"

"I didn't ask you either!"

Yan Xiong looked at everyone again.

"I am! I'm Mike Jackson! Mike hurriedly raised his hand.

Yan Xiong looked at Mike and nodded, "Okay, you come in!" ”

"What do you mean? We're here together! ”

"yes, why let him in, not let us in?"

Old Jackson and the others shouted.

Yan Xiong was just about to speak, but Mike said: "They are all my relatives, they don't enter, and I don't enter either." ”

"Ah, that's it!" Yan Xiong scratched his head, "I didn't expect you to be quite righteous!" Alright then, you all come in! ”

……

Humble office.

All that was left was a desk, an office chair, and an old reception sofa.

Old Jackson went in and sighed.

Several brothers shook their heads even more.

"It's shabby!"

"Is this a record label? How not like it! ”

"It can't be a leather bag company, right?"

Everyone was suspicious, and they didn't believe that such a company could sign a contract with Mike and pay three million dollars to buy out Mike for 30 years.

"Everyone, don't look at it! Have a seat! Yan Xiong looked like a big guy and pointed to the dilapidated sofa.

Old Jackson continued to smack, glanced at the sofa, rolled his eyes, and said, "I'd better stand!" The corners of his mouth showed a hint of disdain, obviously disgusted that the sofa was too old and dirty.

Yan Xiong smiled and said, "I wiped it!" Well, whatever you want! ”

Saying that, Yan Xiong made a cup of tea for himself, and said to Old Jackson: "I'm sorry, the company is start-up, everything is not ready, it is relatively simple, and there are not even extra teacups, so I won't invite you to drink tea!" ”

After speaking, he sat down, picked up the teacup, and blew the tea foam into the mouth.

Old Jackson shook his head again, already sure that his son had been deceived.

Also, Mike is considered the oldest, and he is not too good among his sons, how can he be looked at by others and give a signing fee of three million US dollars? It's not a myth, it's just too much of a joke.

In addition, Mike's four brothers also thought the same way, squinting at Mike together, slightly sneering.

Mike's cheeks were even more ashamed, and he felt uncomfortable, as if he was in a furnace, and his whole body was hot.

"Haven't asked -—— your surname yet?" Old Jackson looked at Yan Xiong, his tone was not polite, but there was a kind of indifference.

"Don't be surnamed Yan, Yan Xiong! You can call me Boss Yan, or Master Yan! "Yan Xiong is also one of the four major detectives in Hong Kong, he has never seen any scenes, drinking tea, with a rebellious face, but at this moment there is a hint of a big man's posture.

Old Jackson sneered: "It turned out to be Mr. Yan, I heard that your family ...... Excuse me, what's it called? ”

"Polygram."

"Oh yes, Polygram! Anyway, I'm also a mixed in the record industry, but I've never even heard of your company's name. Old Jackson picked up a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

"As I said, it was just established! To be precise-——" Yan Xiong paused, took a sip of tea, and looked at Old Jackson and the others: "It was only established today, and it was established half an hour before you came!" ”

"Ahem!" Old Jackson almost choked to death by Yan Xiong's words.

A few brothers also look at me, I look at you, and they can't help but sneer on their faces, "It's just established? Half an hour ago? My God! Hahaha! ”

Mike Jackson's face couldn't be more red, and he couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground.

Seeing this, Yan Xiong frowned: "Okay, everyone, since you are here, should you inquire about when my company was established, what is the specific matter?" ”

"I'm going to ask you specifically!" The corners of Old Jackson's mouth said disdainfully, "My stupid son said that your company is -—— right, what is the name of that big boss, Du Yongxiao, Mr. Du, promise to sign a contract with my stupid son!" ”

"Of course!" Old Jackson pouted, "My stupid son is relatively easy to trust people, he doesn't know that the rivers and lakes are sinister, yes, he thinks everyone is a good person!" But I don't know that I am always deceived, and I think it is the best to help people count money! ”

"Father, don't say that."

"What, am I wrong?" Old Jackson scolded, "Look at your current appearance, look at this company, what do you want, there is only such a person-" Pointing at Yan Xiong, "What future can you have?" Come here to sign a contract, and there is no place to sit! ”

"But -——," Mike explained.

"But what?" Old Jackson sneered, "But the other party is willing to give you three million, right?" Don't you pee and look in the mirror, are you worth three million? ”

"yes, Mike, if you're worth three million, we're worth five million!"

The elder brothers were already unhappy with Mike, but at this moment they finally caught Mike's tail and said something cool.

Mike was dumbfounded by the words of his father and brothers.

Yan Xiong was drinking tea next to him and watching the play.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, he took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, coughed and said, "Excuse me, can I say a word?" ”

When they heard this, they turned their heads to look at him.

Yan Xiong pointed at Mike Jackson, "I heard all of you just now. You think we PolyGram are joking when we sign this Mike, and think our company is a joke, right? ”

"Isn't that right?" Old Jackson is not used to Yan Xiong, and when he looks at the company's cards, it belongs to the kind of small company that does not enter the stream, and there is nothing to do, except for tables, chairs and benches, and he doesn't even have a license, even a leather bag company.

Look at Yan Xiong again, what kind of big boss can a mere Chinese be? It's a swindler again! There are a lot of Chinese people like this in Chinatown! Worse than they are blacks!

Several of Jackson Sr.'s sons also looked at Yan Xiong with disdain, except for Mike.

For them, Yan Xiong in front of them is an insignificant Chinese, not a big boss at all.

Yan Xiong smiled slightly, he has been by Du Yongxiao's side for so many years, Du Yongxiao has the spirit of being a thunderbolt in his chest and calm like a mountain, and he has also learned three points.

"Maybe you're right!" Yan Xiong nodded, "But there is one thing wrong. ”

"Which point?"

"Mr. Du Yongxiao, President of PolyGram, he instructed me to sign a contract with Mike today no matter what! That's right, it's him! Yan Xiong pointed at Mike Jackson.

"Signing? What do you take? Is it saliva, or something else? ”

"Hahaha!"

The crowd laughed again.

Yan Xiong was not in a hurry, Ga, opened the drawer, took out a contract from it, glanced at it and handed it to Mike: "Na, this is my temporary draft to sign the contract, if you have no problems, you can sign it directly!" ”

Mike was stunned for a moment, "Huh? ”

Old Jackson didn't wait for Mike to make a move, grabbed the contract and looked at it carefully: "I want to see how your broken company can deceive me as a stupid son!" ”

"Oh, it's quite specific, sign a contract for 30 years, 3 million US dollars, and pay a deposit of 300,000 yuan before the contract is officially perfected...... Old Jackson sneered, "300,000, how did your company come up with this money?" Is it cash, or is it a check? After speaking, he looked at Yan Xiong with contempt in his eyes.

Yan Xiong smiled slightly, didn't look at Old Jackson at all, but looked at Mike and said, "It's up to Mike, if Mike wants a check, we will give the check, if he wants cash, we will give cash!" ”

"Hah!" Old Jackson was dying of laughter.

The sons also laughed back and forth.

You must know that 300,000 dollars in this era is not a small amount, especially for poor black people, they can buy a luxury villa in the neighborhood of New York.

"300,000 yuan, return the check, cash! I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, it's not that I deliberately laughed at you, the main thing is - tsk! Old Jackson looked at the humble office, "You're really ...... here." No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place to come up with $300,000! ”

"Dad, he can take out 300,000, I'll chop off my head!"

"yes, if Mike can get a deposit of 300,000, I'll walk backwards!" The second son also said with a smile.

Yan Xiong folded his fingers together, formed a pagoda shape, put it on the table, and looked at Mike: "Mike, you still read the contract first, if you want, we can sign it now!" ”

"Sign it, sign it with him!" Old Jackson handed the contract to Mike and encouraged, "I'd like to see how he gives you signing money!" ”

"yes, Mike, sign it! We're going to see how this big liar gives you money! Several brothers also encouraged, their eyes full of ridicule.

Mike Jackson glanced at the contract, "Uh, thirty years? Looking up at Yan Xiong, "Isn't it too long?" ”

Yan Xiong smiled slightly: "Mr. Du seems to be this condition when he talks to you, of course, he also asked me to add one point, that is, if you are really popular in the future, you will be given dividends, as well as company shares!" Are you satisfied? ”

After all, Mike is young, and he is a little disgusted with signing a contract for thirty years, which feels like a "deed of sale".

But now when I heard that Du Yongxiao had a supplement, gave him dividends, and there may be company shares in the future, I felt slightly more comfortable.

Old Jackson was still watching the joke on the side: "Wow, that Boss Du is so kind, dividends, shares - just this broken company?" Gee! The corners of his mouth are raised, and his eyes are disdainful.

Hesitated.

"I'll sign it!" Mike gritted his teeth, stepped forward, took the signing pen handed over by Yan Xiong, brushed it, and signed his name.

After signing—

Yan Xiong picked it up and looked at it, nodded, and was very satisfied.

Then he looked up at Mike: "According to the contract, I will pay you a deposit of 300,000 US dollars first, and the rest of the money will be paid gradually after the contract is officially completed, don't you mind?" ”

"Don't mind."

"That's good-——" Yan Xiong opened the drawer and put the contract away, and looked at Mike again, "Now you decide, do you want a check, or cash?" ”

"Cash, of course!" Jackson Sr. said in place of his son, "Checks are not insured!" Have the ability to take out cash! ”

When Mike heard this, he hesitated and said, "Cash!" ”

"Good!" Yan Xiong reached into the drawer, and—

Bang Bang Bang!

Take out three dollars!

"There are 100,000 here, a total of 300,000, take it!"

Rumble!

The scene exploded.

"How so?"

"It's ...... Three hundred thousand? ”

Old Jackson was so surprised that he almost crouched on the ground.

The elder brothers' eyes widened as if they had seen ghosts.

Mike Jackson was also stunned, stupidly looking at the new dollars on the table, thick, green, and even sprinkled with the tempting smell of ink.

It's not that he didn't suspect Du Yongxiao, especially when he saw that this company was so shabby, and even "unsightly", his suspicion was even greater, but now-——

Yan Xiong was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone in front of him.

He crossed his legs, leaned back in the boss's chair, picked up the teacup, and drank deliciously, feeling refreshed in his heart.

"Count them!" Yan Xiong put down the teacup unhurriedly and pointed to the dollars, "Don't say that I cheated you with counterfeit money, these are all real money!" ”

Yan Xiong's posture was even higher, and he was simply condescending.

Old Jackson couldn't care so much at the moment, and even felt that Yan Xiong's high posture was right.

Before Mike could make a move, Old Jackson hurried forward to count the money.

Those brothers were about to step forward, but they were pushed away by old Jackson, "Don't move! What if the number is wrong? ”

"There is great power in numbers, we will help you!"

"Help, don't move!" Jackson Sr. was afraid that his sons would snatch the money away, so he protected the money and didn't let them do it.

The sons could only watch.

"Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand-—— not right, double count! Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand—"

Poor old Jackson has never seen so much money in his life, and he always counts wrongly.

"No, Dad, you can't count, why don't we help you!"

"Get out of here!"

"Oh!"

Momentary –

finally waited for old Jackson to count the money, then he exhaled deeply, picked up the money and took a deep breath in front of his nose, closed his eyes, and looked ecstasy.

The sons looked at him angrily, and they also wanted to touch the dollar and suck the banknote.

Only Mike was still stunned, 300,000, really giving? So I'm signing this time-

As if to understand Mike's thoughts, Yan Xiong leaned back on the boss's chair, took a sip of tea and said: "Since you have already received the money, then the signing of the contract has become a foregone conclusion, and you will regret it, but you have to pay liquidated damages." ”

"No remorse! How can you regret it? Old Jackson said, "From now on, our Mike will be sold to you!" Haha, I'll take the money! ”

"Dad, I'll help you collect it!"

A few brothers rushed up again.

"Fuck off! I don't need your help! ”

"No, how do you get so much money?"

Old Jackson didn't care about this, and just stuffed the money into his jacket pockets and pants pockets! Stop!

Yan Xiong glanced at him with disdain, "I'm sorry, if you collect the money, can you leave first, there are some things I still have to talk to Mike." ”

"Of course, hehe, you can continue!" Old Jackson patted the money stuffed in his pocket.

It's good to have money.

As for selling his son, he was used to it.

"If you talk about anything, call me! Especially when it comes to money, be sure to call me! I'm a father, and I have to give my stupid son a little advice! Old Jackson said to Yan Xiong with a grin.

Yan Xiong nodded.

The elder Jackson immediately turned around with his four sons and prepared to leave.

Suddenly—

"Wait!" Yan Xiong shouted from behind.

"Uh, what's the matter?" Old Jackson turned around and was stunned.

Yan Xiong smiled, put down the teacup and said, "I'm sorry, I seem to have heard someone say just now that if I can come up with 300,000 US dollars, someone will chop off their heads!" There are still people who have to walk backwards! ”

Yan Xiong's eyes squinted at the elder Jackson's eldest son and second son.

"Huh?"

Two people in a row.

Old Jackson was also stunned.

No one expected that Yan Xiong would "find fault" at this time.

Yan Xiong returned to his true colors as a "smiling tiger", looked at the two with a smile, and said nothing.

"Mr. Yan, that -——" Old Jackson just wanted to relieve his son.

Yan Xiong said: "I am in business, and businessmen pay the most attention to credit!" Especially for us Chinese, there is a saying - one word and nine pins! ”

Old Jackson was dumb, and looked at the eldest and second sons helplessly.

The two sons were extremely embarrassed at the moment, their cheeks were even redder than Mike Jackson just now, and they were so hot that they wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

Seeing this, Yan Xiong suddenly laughed, got up and said, "Laugh with you!" I'm not a murderer, and I'm not a pervert, where do I like to watch people chop their heads off! As for walking backwards, that's what animals do, so where can people do it? ”

Yan Xiong's words were carried with a gun and a stick, and the two of them were directly red-faced, and they were even more speechless.

"Alright, let's go! I don't send it! Yan Xiong waved his hand, his posture arrogant.

Old Jackson was so busy with his sons that he didn't even dare to look back.

……

Crunch!

The door is closed.

Over here—

Yan Xiong looked at Mike standing dumbfounded, "All your money has been taken away, don't you feel distressed?" ”

Mike let out a "uh", shook his head, and nodded again.

It's false to say that he doesn't feel distressed, after all, that's the price of selling his body for thirty years.

Yan Xiong smiled, "No wonder Mr. Du is optimistic about you-—— Mike, you're very interesting!" ”

Mike Jackson smiled wryly: "It's not interesting, it's stupid." ”

"Sometimes, it's a blessing to suffer!"

As he spoke, Yan Xiong opened the drawer again, took out six thick and solid dollars from it, put it on the table, and then looked up at Mike and said solemnly: "Here are 600,000, take it!" ”

"Ah, you're—" Mike looked at the six dollars in front of him in disbelief.

Yan Xiong pointed to the money and said, "I didn't give you these, Mr. Du gave them to you!" He said that I must give you this money, and the right to deduct it from your money later! ”

"But-——" Mike's eyes showed incredulity, "but he's not afraid that I'll run away?" ”

"Runaway? Why did you run away? Yan Xiong smiled, sat down again, picked up the teacup and said, "If you run away, can you still meet a big boss like Mr. Du?" Can you still meet someone who thinks highly of you like him? We have a saying in China that Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have it! You should understand the meaning of this sentence? ”

"Uh, I'm sorry, I don't read much, I don't understand."

"Uh, you don't understand? Then I'll explain it to you-——"

Soon, Mike understood that Du Yongxiao was his own Bole! And the only one who believes that he can become a superstar!

Looking at Mike, who was still pondering, Yan Xiong smiled and said, "So, I'll teach you one more sentence, we Chinese talk about -——."

"The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring!"
