Chapter 290: Separation

Chen Qiming waited in the lounge for nearly an hour.

Although it's only an hour.

But this has never been done before.

In the past, when he came to talk to Ge Fuhong, no matter how busy the other party was, he would basically see him as soon as possible.

But this time......

Originally, Chen Qiming was still very hesitant to pay for himself.

But this hour's waiting made him understand that buying himself was already a must.

Judging from today's situation, Ge Fuhong is obviously determined to transfer his contract.

Still, that's fine.

After breaking away from Fulong, perhaps his resources in all aspects may be much less.

But for Chen Qiming, it will definitely only be good.

……

"You came to me about your contract!

Let's talk about it! What do you think? ”

Ge Fuhong's office, after Chen Qiming came in, after the two of them exchanged a few polite words, Ge Fuhong asked bluntly.

Obviously, Ge Fuhong knew that Chen Qiming already knew that she was going to sell his contract.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming was not verbose, he said directly:

"Sister Ge, I won't go to Sony, if you have to transfer me to Sony, then I may have no choice but to break the contract!"

After a pause, he looked at Ge Fuhong, "I have cooperated with Fulong for several years, and you and I should be quite happy."

So, I don't want us to break up this way. ”

"Just say what you think!" Ge Fuhong did not have an angry expression because of Chen Qiming's words, but said as expected.

Chen Qiming glanced at her late at night, "I plan to buy out my contract myself!" ”

Ge Fuhong nodded, not surprised at all.

"I know, if you don't want to go to Sony, this is your only option!"

Smiling, she looked at Chen Qiming, "Sony thinks your contract for the next two years is worth 450 million Taiwan dollars, what about you?" How much do you think you're worth? ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help frowning.

From this tone, he had a hunch that Ge Fuhong was afraid that the lion would open his mouth.

"110 million yuan, I give so much!"

Chen Qiming said in a deep voice.

Without waiting for Ge Fuhong to speak, Chen Qiming raised his head and looked at her and said, "This is my bottom line."

You should know that the liquidated damages in the contract between us are actually about 100 million yuan. ”

As soon as Chen Qiming's words came out, Ge Fuhong's face suddenly became gloomy.

Chen's words were threatening.

Yes, it should be counted as a threat.

His meaning is very simple, 110 million is his bottom line, if Ge Fuhong doesn't accept it, then he won't talk about it anymore.

He will choose to default.

When Chen Qiming and Fulong negotiated the second contract, in order to avoid Chen Qiming being poached, Fulong raised the liquidated damages to 100 million.

That's a lot at the time, but now it'......

For Chen Qiming, breach of contract is also a path he can take.

It's just that, compared with a peaceful breakup, if you break the contract, it will have a great impact on his reputation and image.

Therefore, he does not intend to breach the contract unless it is absolutely necessary.

But if Fulong still doesn't agree after he bids 110 million, then there is really nothing to talk about.

He will simply choose to default.

And after Chen Qiming defaulted, it was actually not good for Fulong.

Because if Chen Qiming breaches the contract, then the two parties will definitely have to fight a lawsuit on this matter for a long time.

In the end, Chen Qiming will definitely lose the lawsuit, but if Fulong wants to get that money in a year or two, I'm afraid it won't be so simple.

"I need to discuss with the shareholders of the company and give you an answer within two days!"

Glancing at Chen Qiming deeply, Ge Fuhong said.

She regrets it a little now.

It's not that she regrets signing Chen Qiming.

The signing of Chen Qiming, even now, is the most beautiful thing she thinks she has done since she started her career.

Fulong barely invested too many resources in Chen Qiming, in exchange for an Asian-level superstar.

In the past two or three years, Chen Qiming has made more than 200 million yuan for Fulong, plus various other influences.

It can be said that it was Chen Qiming's joining that made her Ge Fuhong leap up and become a famous entertainment tycoon on Baodao.

Therefore, she has no regrets about signing Chen Qiming.

What she regrets now is that she should have set the liquidated damages a little higher if she knew this was the case.

"Then I'll wait for your good news!"

Chen Qiming stood up, and before leaving, he turned around and said:

"Sister Ge, it's still the same sentence, our cooperation in the past few years has been very pleasant, I really don't want us to be friends in the future!"

……

After leaving Fulong Company, Chen Qiming did not choose to return to Fulong Records to record songs.

The family is about to break up, and he won't record those two records until the dust settles.

Those two records had already been planned before that.

Many of the songs in it are songs received by Fulong's contacts, plus other preliminary investment.

These two albums, Fulong will definitely not allow Chen Qiming to take them away, but will release them on Fulong's side.

So, until the matter is not resolved, he will not record it.

If you don't go to record songs, you certainly can't be idle.

On the one hand, Chen Qiming contacted his contacts to prepare his funds, and on the other hand, he contacted several media in Baodao in his private capacity, and directly announced in public that he was going to pay for his contract.

[Popular singer Chen Qiming said he was ready to buy his future contract with Fulong Records]

[A wave of unsettled waves has risen again and again, and the separation of Chen Qiming and Fulong is a foregone conclusion]

[Counting the rifts between Chen Qiming and Fulong]

In the afternoon of the same day, the news that Chen Qiming planned to buy out his contract for the next two years spread all over Hong Kong and Taiwan with lightning speed.

In order to chase the news, a large number of reporters surrounded Chen Qiming's well-known villa in Taipei.

Chen Qiming did not ignore these reporters who came to interview, but accepted private interviews with many reporters.

And that's why it's done.

Chen Qiming has only one purpose.

He wants to dispel the thoughts of the giant companies that have ideas for him.

He openly stated that he wanted to buy his own contract in order to tell these giant companies that he was firm in his idea of independence, and that it was better not to get involved in the matter between him and Fulong if it was not necessary.

Chen Qiming also had to do the same.

Sony's investment of 100 million yuan to buy his contract for the next two years cannot be hidden.

Sony is like a floodgate, and when it is opened, the flood will rush in.

With Sony's beginning, it is difficult to guarantee that other giant companies in the future will also spend a lot of money to buy his contract from Fulong for him.

If someone bids higher, Fulong is really likely to trick the other party, sell Chen Qiming's contract to them at a high price, and then let Chen Qiming deal with them.

That night, Chen Qiming received several phone calls.

Among them is the phone number of Polygram Zheng Donghan.

In addition, Rolling Stone also called.

For these calls to inquire about the news, Chen Qiming did not refuse, answered them all, and warned the other party not to touch his contract.

Chen Qiming's warning was not malicious.

Rather, well-intentioned.

If these record giants don't know anything and directly pay a higher price than Chen Qiming to buy his contract, then they will lose 100%.

Because Chen Qiming has already said that he wants to be 100% independent.

Even if another company gets his contract, he will still have to leave.

And how to get out of it?

Naturally, it was a breach of contract.

According to Chen Qiming's contract with Fulong, he only needs to pay 100 million yuan in liquidated damages for breach of contract.

And if anyone bids 1.2 or 130 million to buy Chen Qiming's contract, Chen Qiming will breach the contract at that time, and the other party will lose at least 20 or 30 million.

Therefore, Chen Qiming is helping them.

Of course, Chen Qiming is also helping himself.

If his contract is bought by other giant companies, if he breaks the contract, he will 100% offend this company.

And the energy of these giant companies is very huge, and Chen Qiming doesn't want to offend them unless it is necessary.

……

Hong Kong, Polygram Records.

After Zheng Donghan hung up Chen Qiming's phone, he couldn't help wiping his sweat.

"Damn, Ge Fuhong's cheat, he was almost cheated!"

In the afternoon, he received news that Sony had invested 100 million to buy Chen Qiming's future contract, and Fulong was relieved.

As soon as he got the news, he immediately cheered up.

He calculated that 100 million to buy Chen Qiming's contract didn't seem to be a loss, and it was even okay to mention tens of millions more.

Therefore, he immediately called Ge Fuhong to inquire about the progress of Fulong's negotiations with Sony.

At that time, Ge Fuhong told him that the two sides were negotiating well, but if PolyGram made a higher bid, they would consider Polygram Fulong.

So, Zheng Donghan said at that time that he would talk about it in detail tomorrow.

And when he was about to go to Baodao to talk to Ge Fuhong about this in person, there was another news from Baodao that Chen Qiming planned to buy out his contract.

As soon as he heard the news, he immediately felt bad.

Chen Qiming paid for his own contract.

That is clearly releasing a signal to the outside world, Chen Qiming seems to be saying: Don't buy me, I won't do anything for you if I buy it.

Sure enough, after he called and asked Chen Qiming, Chen Qiming personally confirmed the news.

"Cancel the plan to buy out Chen Qiming's contract, we won't get involved!"

……

"I've really grown up and learned smart!"

In the luxurious villa, Ge Fuhong put down the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

"Do you need me to find someone to warn him, being a big star, I really think I'm amazing!"

Opposite Ge Fuhong, a man wearing glasses and a scar on the corner of his mouth spoke.

"It's not necessary, it's a pleasure to work with.

Moreover, when it comes to his position, your method of finding people to scare him will not work.

If one is not careful and provokes him, we will not be able to end it in the future! ”

Next to him, Wu Dun, who was smoking a cigarette, glanced at the newspaper and said.

After speaking, Wu Dun looked at Ge Fuhong, "What do you think?" ”

"Let him go! 110 million, we won't lose anything! ”

Ge Fuhong pondered for a while and spoke.

"It's a pity, such a big golden egg!"

When Scarface heard this, he couldn't help but say with pity.

"There's no pity, this golden egg has broken its shell, and it doesn't have much effect on keeping it, but it is easy to be bitten!"

Wu Dun took a hard puff of the cigar in his hand and said.

After a pause, he said again: "Actually, it's not bad to let him go, where is our friendship with him, and there are opportunities to cooperate in the future."

He's a smart guy and wouldn't refuse to work with us! ”

……

The effect of releasing the news that he wants to be independent is obvious.

For just one day, all the big companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan kept silent about poaching Chen Qiming again.

Even Sony, after learning that Chen Qiming would not come to Sony, and might even breach the contract for this, directly stopped contact with Fulong.

The day after Sony stopped contacting Fulong, Chen Qiming received a phone call from Ge Fuhong agreeing that he would buy his contract for 110 million yuan.

Ge Fuhong's consent also made Chen Qiming feel slightly relieved.

To tell the truth, he was still very afraid.

Others don't know Ge Fuhong's interpersonal background, thinking that she is just an ordinary businessman, but Chen Qiming doesn't know yet!

Being able to be friends with Wu Dun, rather than a subordinate, is not a simple ordinary businessman with that background and ability.

In the past few days, in order to avoid being black-shot, he spent a lot of money and hired a bunch of bodyguards.

In order to prevent Fulong's shareholders from making stupid moves.

And now it seems that Fulong is clearly still thinking of friendship.

After Fulong's side agreed to let him go, Chen Qiming certainly couldn't leave immediately.

There is still a need for negotiations.

For example, the copyright of the song, or the record income in the following years, etc.

In the end, the negotiated condition was that Chen Qiming's copyright of all his songs would be taken away by him, but in the next three years, the proceeds from the records he had released would belong to Fulong.

In fact, to put it simply, the proceeds from records like "Too Soft Heart" that are still on the market will belong to Fulong.

In addition, in the past three years, several records he has previously released, Fulong can release compilations.

This is similar to the conditions when Chen Qiming negotiated with Fulong about copyright ownership before, but because Chen Qiming is leaving now, he can only give up his part of the income.

At the same time, Chen Qiming needs to cooperate with Fulong to complete the production of the two records that Fulong is currently producing.

Overall, Chen Qiming's loss is a bit big.

But it's also a must.

Split up halfway, that's the price.

In the following days, Chen Qiming cooperated with Fulong to record the two records.

On the other hand, they occasionally fly to other regions to participate in some awards.

Hong Kong's Top 10 Songs, Top 10 Chinese Golden Songs, Singing Music Scene, etc.

Besides, these several awards.

On February 12, he also flew to the United States to attend the 1994 Grammy Awards.

He was shortlisted for a total of three awards.

Best Pop Newcomer Award in a Pop category.

One Blues category for Best Song was finalist.

One was nominated for Best Song in the Country Music category.

All three awards are considered heavyweight awards.

Therefore, when Chen Qiming left for the United States, he also received calls from many friends.

It's all about cheering for him, hoping that he can win the award.

Grammy!

The most authoritative music award in the world!

If only I could win an award.

Needless to say, as long as Chen Qiming wins the award, then he will be the first person in the Chinese music scene to truly deserve his name.
