Chapter 286 Collecting Liquidated Damages
When they were in the room, no one mentioned what happened last night. It wasn't until they went to the restaurant for breakfast together that Ning Lan said: "Last night, did I tell you about the past?"

Hearing Ning Lan's probing tone, and seeing the uncertainty in her eyes, what did Li Kai think of, could it be that he drank some tea last night and couldn't remember what he said?
After being stunned for a moment, he nodded, "You told me why you were granted the title of Zhuntian Empress, and why you insisted on retiring."

Ning Lan snorted, lowered her eyes, her expression was still calm, she picked up a poached egg, and lightly took a bite of the egg white.

"Having such an experience, it is really sad to make money for Rolling Snow Records. In other words, I would make the same choice as you, either transfer or stop all business activities. Anyway, how much I lost , the company’s losses are only a little more.”

Ning Lan looked up at Li Kai's expression of not bowing down for five buckets of rice, her eyes flickered slightly, the corners of her mouth moved, and finally she just nodded slightly.

Li Kai immediately said: "By the way, sister Ning, have you contacted other record companies? The other party is only willing to pay 500 million liquidated damages?"

Ning Lan shook her head lightly: "Not yet. I signed the contract in January. There are still one year and five months left in the three-year contract period. I think there should be a record company willing to pay the 500 million liquidated damages."

"Sister Ning, you don't take yourself too lightly. You are a real queen. You can earn tens of millions for the company just by releasing a record, a round of tour, and a few endorsements a year. If you sign a three-year contract, that’s a base of 3000 million, even if you pay 500 million liquidated damages for you, it’s still a guaranteed profit.”

Hearing Li Kai's objection, Ning Lan's self-mockery flashed in the corner of her eyes, she sighed secretly, and said, "If I'm like Xu Qiaoling and only debuted for two or three years, then it's possible. The system has gone downhill, today's summer tour, except for Liu Mingliang and He Jingyun, the box office of other singers is lower than that of last year, and the record company will be very cautious when spending a lot of money to bring in big-name singers."

Li Kai agrees with Ning Lan's statement, but on the surface he doesn't think so: "Superior first-tier is super-first-tier. Guo Tianwang's new album has not reached the default two and a half platinum in a single month, and Li Tianwang's new album should also achieve the default double platinum." Platinum, and you are the new queen, at the pinnacle of popularity, stronger than not weaker than these two veteran kings, and you can maintain it for at least three years."

"Let me tell you, let alone 500 million liquidated damages, even if it is 2000 million, there may be record companies willing to pay it."

After finishing speaking, he changed the subject again: "Of course, this is just my personal judgment, and I dare not guarantee it 100%, but, I think, I have to try it, what do you think?"

Without waiting for Ning Lan to reply, Li Kai said again: "Didn't you say that you would listen to my words? Then I will make a small request now. Whether you are acting out of passion or you have made up your mind, at least stick to your oath." In half a month, record companies contacted each other, how about it?"

Ning Lan stared at Li Kai, remained silent for a moment, and replied: "Okay."

Li Kai smiled: "You won't break your promise, will you?"

Ning Lan shook her head lightly, her expression firm: "No."

After breakfast, the two left the hotel. Ning Lan said she wanted to go back and change clothes, so Li Kai took a taxi and took her to her residence first. Without waiting for her, she asked the driver to drive to the studio.

Su Ting was a little surprised by Li Kai's sudden arrival. She stopped her work and got up to make tea for Li Kai.

"Su Ting, there's no need to make tea. I'm going to the company soon. I have something to ask you."

Hearing what Li Kai said, Su Ting didn't force her, she walked to the sofa area and sat down opposite Li Kai.

Li opened the door and said straight to the point: "How much money is in the company's books now?"

Su Ting thought silently, and after a while, she replied: "More than 260 million, Feng Zhihao and his four albums sold a total of more than 227 million copies in a single month, with a total sales of more than 800 million. The studio will share [-]%. The day before yesterday For the ones that have just been settled, you need to look at the detailed ledger, and I'll ask the finance side to send it over."

"No need." Li Kai waved his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "Then about the transfer of Feng Zhihao, did the other party's agency talk to you, and when will they be able to pay the liquidated damages?"

Su Ting thought and said: "Feng Zhihao's transfer has been negotiated almost, liquidated damages of 350 million is no problem, now only Feng Zhihao's single share is left, and the one-time buyout price has not yet been negotiated. "

"You Xiaoxia and Liu Susu have also discussed the transfer once. The liquidated damages for three of them is 300 million, and for two, it is 200 million. Meng Wei finally decided to stay."

After a pause, he continued: "However, the other party has a request, that is, the name of the group Youth Charm must be transferred together. If they agree, the other party is willing to pay an extra 50."

Li Kai said decisively: "Give it up, it's just the name of a group, 50, it's a good deal."

Su Ting was silent for a while, then nodded. She also felt that Meng Wei was the only one left, and it was meaningless to keep this group name.

"In this case, the total is 600 million. The singles of Feng Zhihao and You Xiaoxia are divided into a one-time buyout. I roughly calculated that the total is 50, and the deduction is 550 million."

As she said that, Su Ting added: "Jiu Rui Group, Ade has already talked to Brother Ni. They have indeed received a call from the brokerage company, and they have made it clear that they will not transfer."

Li Jing let out a sigh, and calculated in his heart, the book is 260 million, plus 550 million, plus the 400 million compensation from Time Records, plus nearly 100 million in his bank card.
Add one piece for all, a total of 300 million, of which 200 million cannot be moved.

The three of Duoyun are about to release a single, and in terms of promotional expenses, the studio will subsidize them with 40 yuan each, and also need to reserve a sum of money for daily operations.

In addition, it is necessary to free up 100 million yuan to pay for the installment of the loan for the office building.
In other words, the ones who can really control freely are only 1000 million.

But Ning Lan's liquidated damages were 500 million.

After chatting for a few more words, Li Jian left without telling Su Ting of his intention to transfer Ning Lan to the studio, even he was not [-]% sure that it would be possible.

Otherwise, Ning Lan would not have contacted other record companies herself.

Leaving the studio, Li Kai walked and pondered. When he left the park, he had an idea in his mind. When he saw a public phone booth by the road, he walked over and dialed He Jingyun's copy machine.

Soon, He Jingyun called back.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Kai said, "Jingyun, how much money do you have?"

He Jingyun was silent for a moment, then replied: "There are more than 200 million in Kari."

Without waiting for Li Kai to answer, he immediately said, "How much do you want? If it's not enough, I can ask Sister Fang to ask the company to give me a share of the tour first."
