After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Walter looked at Li Kai, was silent for a moment, relaxed his body, and sighed: "If I had considered it commercially, I wouldn't have refused so resolutely."

Wald shook his head, thinking about it a little, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and slowly said: "Terry has loved music since he was a child, and his biggest dream is to make his own music to infect and inspire more people all over the world. Just like his idol Meow King."

"Terry's musical talent is very high. After graduating from high school, he participated in an all-meter draft competition and got the third place. He was spotted by scouts and signed with Bill Brothers, the record company that ranked fifth in the United States at the time. It was released two months later. The first record has sold more than 3 copies, and the future is bright."

After a pause, the topic changed suddenly: "However, just a few days after the double full moon of record sales, Terry came home suddenly. I remember very clearly that it was on the night of Tuesday, June 1978, 6. I opened the door and saw His face was full of fury when he was at him. He told me that the top management of the record company came to talk to him and was willing to pay attention to him, but he had to follow the music route formulated by the company, and the music route formulated by the company was completely Cater to the trend of the time.”

"This is unacceptable to Terry. What he wants to do is his own music instead of catering to the trend, so he broke up with the company's senior management, and in a fit of anger, he gave up the share of the record as liquidated damages and suspended the contract. contract with the company."

"He wants to start his own company, because only in his own company can he make the music he wants without restraint."

"At that time, I was not doing well in a daily necessities company. I am also a music lover, and our relationship is very good. We chatted all night, and finally decided that the two brothers will work together to open a music studio. He concentrates on making music. Music, I'm in charge of promotion."

"We took out all our savings and borrowed some money from our parents and relatives. After more than a month of preparation, Walter Brothers was officially established on August 1978, 8, which was also Terry's birthday."

Wald's tone was very calm, but his inner emotions were not calm. He took a sip from the coffee cup, let out a breath, and continued: "In seven years, we have built a small studio to the full meter. The top 7 record companies are still fresh in my memory. At the GUEMY Awards in 3, the singers and musicians under the Walt Brothers won a total of 87 awards, which is the most glorious peak of the Walt Brothers."

"Terry told me very excitedly that he was very fortunate that he was impulsive at the time. His dream was to be a singer and songwriter, to use his works and singing to infect more people, and it was only after he founded Walter Brothers Understand that the company is his real dream."

"Because if after the contract with Bill Brothers is terminated, he will continue to follow the path of a singer and sign contracts with other record companies. Even if he becomes an international superstar like Meow King, he will have 2 million fans, but now there are dozens of singers under Walt Brothers. , the total number of fans exceeds 10 billion."

"That's why, his achievements in music are only international second-tier singers, and he is a famous songwriter. Later, he turned more energy to company management."

"Because no matter how great a person is in music, his influence is limited after all. Only when the company develops and grows can it truly influence the whole world." …

Speaking of this, Walter showed regret and grief on his face: "If that car accident took Terry's life, how could the Walter Brothers be so lonely as they are today."

With a long sigh, Walter put away his emotions, looked at Li and said: "Mr. Li, I have said so much, you should understand what Walter Brothers means to me, he is not only a company, but also carries a lot of responsibility. Terry's dream, although he is no longer here, but I will help him continue his dream, therefore, the shares in my hand will not be sold, nor will it be acquired."

Li Kai looked at him, was quiet for a moment, and said word by word: "Excuse me for asking, how long do you think this dream can last?"

Wald was stunned, and anger flashed in his eyes. In his opinion, this question was a denial of his personal ability, and even more contempt for Terry's dream.

Li Kai quickly said: "As far as I know, the debt of Walt Brothers has exceeded 5 million yuan, and the rating in the circle has dropped to C grade. The top 3 dropped to No. 8, and this so-called No. 8 is just false, because it only measures the size of the record company and its annual turnover, but does not take debts and losses into account.”

"Objectively speaking, the Walt Brothers used to be like a strong lion, and even had the ambition and capital to compete for the lion king, but now the reality is like a bruised lion, which may fall down at any time."

"I think your brother's dream should be to restore the former glory of the Walter Brothers, rather than lingering like this. Mr. Walter, are you right?"

[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best, Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

Wald's face flickered, with anger, unwillingness, and depression intertwined. He gritted his teeth heavily and said, "No matter what, I won't sell the company."

Li opened his eyes calmly, took a sip of coffee slowly, and said in a low voice: "These years, Walter Brothers has been going downhill, which has proved that you, the top decision-maker, are not capable of bringing the company back to its former glory. Terry's dream will only get further and further."

As he said, he pointed to his nose: "You can't, but I can. I can help you continue Terry's dream and let Walt Brothers regain their former glory peak, and even an even more glorious peak."

The tone is flat, but there is a strong self-confidence that the mother can't doubt!

Let Wald, who was aroused by Li Kai's anger again, choke there.

"Where do you get your confidence? There is no record company in Huaguo that can make a name for itself in the international music circle."

"My self-confidence comes from the fact that I am the first international singer-songwriter. Huacan has only been established for more than two years, and its market value has exceeded 1 million yuan. It has 3 top-tier singers in the Asian region. I declared war on Chiyo before. The Old Boys challenged the K4 band, and the double full moon sales broke 10 platinum, surpassing the K4 band by more than 2 platinum, and the Four Dog Days challenged the Chiyo band. Now there are about 10 days left before the double full moon, and it has reached 11 platinum, surpassing the Chiyo band by 50 More than Zhang, Murphy is not a singer under Huacan, but a shareholder of Huacan. He challenged Laura. After a few weeks of album release, he surpassed the opponent by more than 2 platinum. Ranked fourth in the history of the music scene."  …

Facing the impressive achievements of Li Kai himself and Huacan's singers, Walter fell silent.

Li Kai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your brother Terry's dream is to grow the company so that he can influence more people, infect them with music, and bring them peace of mind when they are upset. Comfort, encourage them when they are frustrated, and light a guiding light for them when they are confused."

"If you refuse the acquisition, Walt Brothers will continue to bear heavy debts and struggle to continue. Your brother's dream will become more and more dull. One day in the future, it will completely disappear. Accept the acquisition and Walt Brothers will inject new vitality. , will make a comeback, restore the glory of the past, and even become more glorious, and let your brother's dream shine brightly."

"How to choose, Mr. Walder, you decide."

At the end of the sentence, Li Kai took a sip of coffee again, and after putting it down, he didn't say any more nonsense, but just looked at Wald with a tangled expression, waiting for his answer.

More than ten o'clock.

The three of Li Kai walked out of the clubhouse. Li Kai took a breath of the cool night air and stretched lazily. Su Ting's eyes were beating with excitement, and John had a sincere smile on his face.

Although the details of the acquisition have not been discussed yet, nor has a share sale contract been signed, but Wald's attitude has softened.

In particular, Li Kai promised that the capital injection into Huacan will only account for 4% of the shares, and the three top record companies in Huaguo will each hold [-]% of the shares, and at most one year later, the Walt Brothers will launch the listing plan.

Wald was very moved, so that it could prevent to the greatest extent the risk that Walt Brothers would become dominant after being acquired, the original shareholders would lose their right to speak, and the risk of a major internal shake-up would occur.

In fact, Li Kai never thought of changing the dynasty for the Walt Brothers, as can be seen from the record companies he acquired before.

What he wants is not to annex, but to join in the grand event!

It was very late, and the acquisition negotiations would officially start tomorrow, so I didn't find another place to drink and celebrate.

John sent Li Kai and the two back to the hotel and drove away alone.

While waiting for the elevator, Li opened his eyes and caught Su Ting staring at him from the corner of his eyes. He wiped his face with his hand and said with a smile, "Why are you staring at me? There are flowers on your face."

Su Ting pursed her lips and smiled: "Look at idols."

Li Kai rolled his eyes. As soon as the elevator door opened, he was about to step in, but Su Ting held his arm: "I don't want to go up yet, let's go get something to eat."

"You are hungry?"

"Fortunately, I want to go to the dessert shop last night to eat dessert."

After eating dessert in the middle of the night, Li was speechless, but seeing Su Ting's high interest, she did not refuse.

After leaving the hotel, I walked for a while and came to the dessert shop.

Su Ting took the initiative to take the menu, ordered a couple's double ball ice cream, returned the menu to the waiter, and then said to Li: "One person, one single ball, if it costs 12 yuan, and a double ball is only 10 yuan. It would be a waste of money.”

Li smiled and nodded.

Soon, the double balls of ice cream were served, and Li Kai asked the waiter for an extra plate, but before he could share a ball, Su Ting suddenly said, "Brother Zhang, I heard that you and He Jingyun have already received their marriage certificates." …

Li looked at Su Ting's inexplicable eyes, and his heart tightened.

In his previous life on Earth, he had two short-lived love affairs, and he was reborn in this world. Over the years, he has met more women. He dare not say how much he knows women, but there are some things that he can still feel keenly.

Some words, if said, would be really embarrassing
Li Kai did not simply nod his head and return the right to speak to Su Ting, but said carefully: "Yeah, she and I are not in a secret relationship, we have met the parents of both parties, if it weren't for the age of marriage, last year she and I were not engaged, but"

Su Ting stopped him: "I just want to make sure, you don't need to explain so much, why, are you afraid that I will confess my love to you accidentally?"

Li Kai was choked and coughed twice.

Su Ting pointed at the double scoop ice cream with a spoon, and said with a narrow smile, "Did you see me order a couple ice cream, and you're going to be dreaming."

Li opened his face and couldn't help it: "How can I explain so much, I just am."

"What is it? To cover up your guilt?"

Su Ting blinked: "So, you have love for me"

Li Kai interrupted: "What is it? The more you say it, the more outrageous it is. Am I that kind of person?"

Su Ting thought about it seriously, nodded, and saw that Li Kai's face was a little dark, and then said: "It makes sense, I want to discuss something with you."

"what's up?"

"You recognized Qiao Li as your sister and became a family. I'm quite envious. Can you recognize one more sister?"

Such a weird request confused Li Kai.

Su Ting frowned slightly: "I have the same position and shares as her in the group. Is it because he is your manager and I am just your assistant? Therefore, I am not as important as her in your eyes?"

Li Kai shook his head quickly: "You and Sister Li are the people I trust the most."

"That"

"But in my mind, I've always regarded you as my younger sister, and it's really awkward for me to recognize you as my older sister."

"Okay, a younger sister is a younger sister. The older sister has to take care of the younger brother. The younger sister is taken care of by the older brother. I wish for it."

After Su Ting finished speaking, she smashed two ice cream balls into eight or nine pieces with a spoon, scooped them into the plate in front of Li Kai, and said, "These two ice cream balls are the same color, let me tell you, It should be named Brother and Sister Harmony, in the heart of the younger sister, the older brother holds the most important weight, therefore, the older brother eats a big portion, and the younger sister eats a small portion.”

At the end of the sentence, two-thirds of it arrived on Li Kai's plate, and then Su Ting scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

Li Kai looked down at the large portion on his plate and was silent for a while before moving the spoon. Instead of rushing to eat by himself, he scooped back two pieces back to Su Ting's plate. In this way, the two portions were almost equal. , and then took a spoonful into his mouth.

For the next acquisition negotiation, Su Ting was in charge, and Li Kai didn't stay any longer. At noon the next day, he went to the airport and boarded the flight back to China.

One day later, Saturday night in China and Saturday morning in America.

The top [-] list changed again.

The latest singles chart.

"My heart will go on" and "I Wiys Love You" won the first and second place in the list.

And a new face appeared in the third place, who didn't even appear on the top [-] list last week, almost airborne.

Impressively, it is the title song of Tan Guangyue's first album, the theme song "you feel the love tonight" of "The King of the Jungle".

Tan Guangyue's duet with Murphy's second album, "A orld", also entered the list for the first time, but its ranking was only 72.

Given that Murphy's current popularity is definitely not inferior to any international first-line singer, this song didn't even make it into the top 50. In a sense, it was an upset.

And this unpopular production, Tan Guangyue's album promotion, is obviously "indispensible" for Omi to lose one or two promotional resources.
