Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 583 Aine Office
It doesn't matter if someone brings the movie back to China, re-declares customs to enter Japan, secretly buys an offshore company, and puts [-] million US dollars in it. For Cao Zhiqiang, these things are all things that cannot be disclosed.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang's main work during this period, or on the surface, is to produce his second Japanese single - "Tsunami"!
That's right, this song is also plagiarized, but it is a song from a Japanese band "Southern Star" in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, and the lead singer is Yoshisuke Kuwata.

Cao Zhiqiang chose this song as his second Japanese song. In fact, there is no other reason, simply because the sales volume of this song is high enough.

In Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, the single "Tsunami", which only appeared in 2000, reached its pinnacle when it debuted, ranking in the top ten of Japan's ORICON rankings for 41 consecutive weeks.

The sales volume is naturally terrifying. The sales volume of this single was 293.5 million copies that year, which is the highest-selling single CD in Japanese history. In No.2500.

If you don’t count the 70s, then this song is a proper No.1 in the overall singles chart, and it can’t even compare to a best-selling song in the 90s.

You know, it was in 2000. At that time, the Japanese music scene had already started to go downhill in all aspects. This song could suddenly rise against the trend when the overall downhill went downhill, and finally became No.3 in the singles chart. Good grades are a solid proof of strength.

Even Cao Zhiqiang's previous song "Jun がいるだけで" is not as good as this song "Tsunami" in terms of sales and influence.

Since the performance of this song is so good, Cao Zhiqiang has no reason not to use it for doctrine.

After all, he has already made a good start, so he needs to make persistent efforts in the second song, and create another glory, so that everyone can get rid of suspicion and affirm his status as a capable singer.

In particular, this song was written by Cao Zhiqiang himself, and the copyright is in his hands. In this way, once the sales volume of the song is high, his income will also be high.

Also, because of the performance of the first song, Cao Zhiqiang signed a new betting agreement with the production company Warner Pioneer during the second song.

According to this betting agreement, if the song's first-week sales can exceed 30 copies, then "Aiyin Office" will get 15.00% of the sales share.

If it can exceed 50 copies, "Aiyin Office" will get a 20.00% sales share.

And if the sales volume in the first week is less than 30 copies, the sales share of 12.00% will continue to be maintained.

What needs special explanation here is that "Aiyin Office" is a partnership funded by Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina, with Nakamori Akina as the legal person. There are currently two contracted artists, one is Nakamori Akina, and the other is Cao Zhiqiang.

As for Cao Zhiqiang's original Sada office, the contract has already been terminated.

In fact, it was not Cao Zhiqiang who proposed to terminate the contract. He was not so impersonal. It was Masashi Sada who actually proposed to terminate the contract.

The reason is also very simple, that is, Masashi Sada's liver disease has deteriorated, and his father has also fallen ill, so Masashi Sada has no intention of continuing to go to the music scene in the near future, and he has to recuperate first.

It is also fortunate that Masashi Sada was forced to be hospitalized by some publicity a few days ago, and only then was he discovered that his liver disease was deteriorating early. If he does not actively treat it, it is likely to deteriorate into liver cancer.

Perhaps frightened by these remarks, Masashi Sada not only forcibly quit smoking and drinking, but also listened to the doctor's advice and turned down all the entertainment. Even Sada's office also chose to close temporarily.

Since Masashi Sada had to recuperate during this period and could not continue to work, Cao Zhiqiang's future could not be delayed, so Masashi Sada took the initiative to find Cao Zhiqiang a few days ago and proposed to terminate the contract with him.

Seeing Masashi Sada's situation, Cao Zhiqiang had nothing to say, he could only comfort him a few words, and promised to be friends forever, before signing a contract termination agreement with the other party.

After the contract was terminated, Cao Zhiqiang no longer belonged to the firm. Masashi Sada originally wanted to recommend Cao Zhiqiang to the firm opened by his friend, but Cao Zhiqiang refused.

Because Cao Zhiqiang suddenly discovered that he didn't need to sign with other firms at all.

The reason is simple, that is, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't need it.

Generally speaking, most Japanese singer signing agencies are because the firm has strong contacts and strengths, can better package and promote a singer, and also eliminates all kinds of cumbersome affairs for singers.

To put it bluntly, the firm is a service-oriented intermediary, which can help singers better expand their contacts and business, and free singers from the trouble of mundane affairs.

But for the real power faction, these are not needed at all.

Just like Cao Zhiqiang, if every song of his is a big hit, and he himself becomes a real talent, then he doesn’t need to beg his grandpa to sue his grandma, but the record company begs to come to him.

Of course, there is another advantage of the firm, that is, it can avoid tax reasonably.

Because if a singer signs a contract with a record company alone, the income generated will have to pay an expensive personal income tax.

Japan's personal income tax is a progressive tax, the more you earn, the more you pay.

But if you have a firm, you can avoid a lot of progressive taxes.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang, as a foreigner without long-term residency, cannot open a commercial firm in Japan according to the current Japanese law.

So Cao Zhiqiang asked Nakamori Akina to open a firm in his own name, and Cao Zhiqiang was just a shareholder.

Foreigners can buy shares in Japanese firms, and there is no limit to the proportion of shares held.

Therefore, the "Aine Office" established in the name of Nakamori Akina, the legal person is Nakamori Akina, the president is also Nakamori Akina, but the president is Cao Zhiqiang.

The reason is the shareholding ratio.

Aine's current shareholding ratio is [-]%, that is, Akina Nakamori holds [-]%, and Cao Zhiqiang holds [-]%.

Since Cao Zhiqiang occupies an absolute majority of shares, he is a well-deserved president.

Needless to say, such benefits, Cao Zhiqiang will be able to share more money in the future.

However, this shareholding ratio is currently only useful for dividing money. The specific administrative power of the company is still in the hands of the legal person and president, Akina Nakamori.

This is also a matter of no choice. In the final analysis, Cao Zhiqiang does not have a long-term visa, so he can invest and even have an advantage in shares, but he cannot hold administrative positions such as the legal person and president of the company.

Therefore, even if Cao Zhiqiang holds more shares, he only has the right to share dividends and make suggestions, but he does not have the right to manage the firm in name.

This situation is common in many joint ventures in Japan.

For example, in many large groups in Japan, if you look at the shareholding ratio of the company, foreign capital accounts for more than 50.00%, but the actual control of the company is still in the hands of the Japanese. Most of the reasons are that there are no Japanese in the foreign capital controlling parties. I do not have a Japanese visa, so I cannot hold a position in a Japanese company.

There are similar Korean companies, such as the famous Samsung.

Everyone knows that the controller of South Korea's Samsung is the Lee family, but in fact the Lee family's share in Samsung is only [-]%.

But the Samsung family actually controls the huge Samsung family with this [-]% stake. Even if foreign capital takes up more shares, they don't really have the right to speak and can only share the benefits.

There are reasons such as cross-shareholding, but the biggest reason is the issue of nationality.

Foreign investors who invest in Samsung do not have Korean nationality. According to relevant laws, they cannot have actual control and management rights in Korean companies. For example, they cannot hold important positions such as president and president.

Japanese firms are a little different. Foreigners can be the president of the company, but the president is the one who has the final say. Unless the president is also Japanese and has a lot of contacts, according to the procedure, the president cannot The person who directly intervenes in the company and directly manages the company can only be the president.

Anyway, this Aine office, to put it bluntly, is the husband-and-wife shop of Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina.

Originally, Akina Nakamori had no intention of opening an office, but to help Cao Zhiqiang, she reluctantly opened an office and became the so-called president and legal person.

Of course, before that, Nakamori Akina quit Kenneth Office and became a freelance artist without company constraints.

Originally, because the contract had not yet expired, it was impossible for Akina Nakamori to quit easily.

But because Cao Zhiqiang approached the president of Warner Pioneer, Yamamoto, the president of Kenyin gave the president of Yamamoto a face, did not dare to make any demands, and simply terminated the contract with Akina Nakamori.

After terminating the contract with Yanyin, Akina Nakamori took Cao Zhiqiang's money and opened an "Aiyin Office" in her own name, and then signed a contract with Cao Zhiqiang at the speed of light.

Akina Nakamori would not do these actions herself, and she followed Cao Zhiqiang's advice.

There is no way, Nakamori Akina is a typical love brain now, once in love, she will obey her lover.

Don't talk about giving Nakamori Akina money, let Nakamori Akina open an office, even if Cao Zhiqiang sold Nakamori Akina, even took her to go diving, and then killed her quietly, she probably died with a smile, and she died without complaint regret.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang would not let Akina Nakamori suffer.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang wanted Akina Nakamori to take more shares, and even wanted Akina Nakamori to occupy an absolute majority of the shares, so that Akina Nakamori could justifiably become the company's largest shareholder and president.

It was Akina Nakamori herself who turned down the offer.

The reason is simple, that is, Akina Nakamori doesn't want her family to know.

According to Nakamori Akina, her family members are very greedy. If they know that Nakamori Akina is not only the legal person of this company, but also occupies an absolute majority of the shares, then the company will be inconspicuous. Once the company flourishes in the future, they will definitely Will come for a bargain.

And Nakamori Akina thought that although she opened this company, Cao Zhiqiang paid for it, and Cao Zhiqiang must be in charge of future business planning, Nakamori Akina just took a seat and didn't understand anything.

Therefore, Akina Nakamori cannot allow his family to deprive Cao Zhiqiang of his property.

Well, this is obvious. In simple words, girls are extroverted.

That is to say, Nakamori Akina loves Cao Zhiqiang deeply now, but she doesn't have much affection for her own family, and she doesn't have much contact with her.

It's just that Akina Nakamori was also very filial in the past, especially her mother, so she secretly sent money to her mother every month.

But since living together with Cao Zhiqiang, Nakamori Akina stopped sending money back. This means that after Nakamori Akina and Cao Zhiqiang lived together, they basically didn’t have much work and lost a lot of income. Second, Nakamori Akina started to turn to Cao Zhiqiang , No longer blindly fill in the money at home.

In other words, Akina Nakamori's love brain is also targeted.

She just obeys the words of the person she likes. If it is not her lover, even a blood relative, she can face it coldly.

For example, she basically has no contact with her older brothers, sisters and sisters. She even cut off contact with her family in her previous life, which shows Nakamori Akina's determination.

But facing the man she likes, Nakamori Akina suddenly has cerebral palsy, completely losing her normal judgment.

Regarding this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't know what to say, after all, strictly speaking, he was a vested interest.

Cao Zhiqiang can only try his best to treat Akina Nakamori as well as possible, try not to let her down, there is no other way.

In short, after using the identity of Akina Mori in the head of love to open an "Aiyin Agency", Cao Zhiqiang became a signed artist of this agency.

Since it was a husband-and-wife shop, and Akina Nakamori obeyed Cao Zhiqiang's advice, the contract was naturally as favorable as possible.

Of course, this husband-and-wife shop is not just Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina, but also recruited two female staff to help Nakamori Akina handle daily business.

For example, some printing contracts, mailing contracts, docking with record companies, running banks, and general business are all done by the two female staff.

In fact, originally, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to find two men, after all, he was more patient.

It was Akina Nakamori who was not happy, because she was afraid that Cao Zhiqiang would be jealous in the future, and because she was a woman, she would feel uncomfortable with strange men all day long, so she recruited all women.

Fortunately, there are also many female office workers in Japan at this time, especially female college students. Most of them are eager to have a serious job after graduation, instead of finding a man to marry early.

The situation where Japanese women desire to marry and become housewives after graduation is something that happened after the economic bubble burst, especially after the 21st century.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang asked Akina Nakamori. Akina Nakamori said that if she couldn't sing, she would also like to be a housewife. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, she couldn't be a housewife early. She could only sing and become an artist. I like the feeling of singing.

So now Akina Nakamori is asked to choose, and she is also very entangled, whether to retire and become a housewife, or continue to sing.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang didn't mind Nakamori Akina singing in public, and even encouraged her to go out to work, so this made Nakamori Akina not have to worry about it.

And after opening the office, Nakamori Akina said on the surface that she didn't know anything, but in fact, she was so excited that she did everything by herself, laughing and laughing with the two girls she recruited all day long, like sisters.

Of course, having said that, Nakamori Akina also has her own little Jiujiu, and the two girls she recruited are all round.

That is to say, looking at young people with good education, but they are all less than 1.5 meters five, and they are all ugly. At least Cao Zhiqiang has no appetite at first glance.

In fact, most Japanese women are not good-looking, at least in Cao Zhiqiang's aesthetic view.

It's just that Japan is a developed country after all, and Japanese women are also very good at dressing up. At first glance, they are more fashionable, but once you look closely, Cao Zhiqiang quickly loses his appetite.

Akina Nakamori had figured out Cao Zhiqiang's aesthetics, so she deliberately reversed the operation.

The result is also very good, anyway, she doesn't have to worry about Cao Zhiqiang being hooked up by the female staff of her office now.

Therefore, a love brain does not mean that you have no IQ. In some respects, a love brain can be shrewd.
