Chapter 378 Johnny's Office
When Shi Lei woke up the next day, the girl had already left, and he walked out of the hot spring hotel refreshed, feeling that the trip was worthwhile.

"Old man, what are you going to do today?"

"I'm going to Johnny's office today. The place where I worked before specializes in male artists. Many famous male artists in the island country are under their company. Hu Bing, a very popular male artist in China, when he was in the island country, They are signed artists of their company." Weng Zhijian said while driving.

It seems that Weng Zhijian's mental state is not very good, it may be because he has worked too hard for two consecutive days, Shi Lei showed a sense of pride, look at his brother, his body is in good shape.

After Hu Bing's contract with Johnny's expired, he did not renew the contract, but turned to Hollywood for development.It can be said that when Hu Bing was the most popular in China, he chose to switch to Johnny at a sky-high price. He was the number one male model in China at the time, and he paid a sky-high price for a show.

Of course, Hu Bing's reason at the time was to study abroad, supplement knowledge, and enrich himself.The development in the island country was pretty good, but it was a pity that it didn't catch up in Hollywood, and finally returned to China.It is said that now I have set up my own small company in China, similar to a personal studio.

Johnny lost Hu Bing, the cash cow, and wanted to replicate Hu Bing's magic, so he signed a few more Chinese male models, trying to fill the vacancy left by Hu Bing.

It's a pity that these newly signed male models are not as popular as Hu Bing at that time, and their temperament and appearance can't be compared with Hu Bing at that time.

The most uncomfortable thing for President Johnny is that this is the first time for the company to test the waters of female artists. When signing these male models, they also signed a few female models along the way. They were all poached from the same company. .

Johnny has absolutely no experience in packaging and promoting female artists, and a newly hired gold medal manager also missed these female models.Not only did the modeling career gradually decline, but the songs and dances they rehearsed for them, and even the acting opportunities they won for them, all failed.

Now Johnny's is going to give up on continuing to develop the Chinese market, relying on those former male artists, he can still maintain his current position.The important thing is that due to the slant of resources, the company is not very effective in promoting other artists. On the contrary, the Burning Products company, which has been behind them, has the meaning of catching up from behind.

So the president of Johnny's decided to sell the contracts of these Chinese model artists to recover part of the loss.At this time, Weng Zhijian contacted them, wanting to buy the contracts of these artists, and the two hit it off.

"Models? Old man, the company doesn't have much experience in this field. Are you sure that if you buy them back, we won't lose money?" Shi Lei was a little confused. The company's main promotion is now actors and singers. Models are a bit biased, right?

"Mr. Shi, you don't have to worry about this. They are not only models, they have also learned a lot at Johnny's in the past two years, at least in terms of body and appearance. They have blown up many domestic artists. It is absolutely no problem to be a vase-like role. Guaranteed It will not make the company lose money. If they encounter a good role or opportunity, it is not impossible for them to become popular."

Shi Lei nodded, as long as Weng Zhijian has these considerations.Shi Lei planned to return to China after talking about these matters, leaving Weng Zhijian to deal with the follow-up matters.

"Also, Johnny's has a very good record company. There are several producers and songwriters of Chinese nationality. I plan to recruit them back and sign them under the company's banner to do the soundtrack of TV dramas."

"Producers and songwriters, what is their level? The music style of the island country is not the same as that in China. Can it adapt to the domestic market?" Shi Lei was a little worried. He is not a popular person in the island country, but he can do the same in China. Very hot.

"They used to be from domestic record companies. They came here to develop because the record company went bankrupt. The level is not top-notch, but it's not bad. It should be enough to help us make episodes for this TV series. And in Here, they are not taken seriously, after all, they will still be excluded. I have also contacted them. If I buy out their contract, they are willing to renew a long-term contract with Dongsheng Entertainment. I plan to use the model with Johnny Negotiate with these few people together, it will be easier to lower the price.”

"Well, it's fine if you think it's okay. The company's operation is up to you. When you encounter negotiations, you can ask me for a favor."

……

"Hi, Minister Yamada."

"Weng Sang, long time no see."

Shi Lei stood behind Weng Zhijian. His role today is Weng Zhijian's assistant.Anyway, he didn't understand Japanese, so he just followed suit, and he couldn't get in most of the time.So Weng Zhijian didn't introduce Shi Lei to Minister Yamada, and Minister Yamada naturally didn't pay much attention to Shi Lei.

The two chatted for a long time, then sat down and started talking about business.

Shi Lei couldn't understand what they were talking about, it was all in Japanese, and the speed of speech was quite fast, Shi Lei felt like watching an island country movie, but unfortunately he didn't like island country movies.

After talking for a while, Weng Zhijian turned his head and leaned into Shi Lei's ear, and whispered: "The other party agreed to sell us the contracts of those record company employees, but the price is a bit high, and we will completely follow the contract, so the money we have to pay is not A small amount, for those three people, we will pay about 300 million. There are also nine models and artists, three men and six women, each of whom has a contract of 30 yuan, all in RMB. This is what I talked about for a long time. They agreed to halve the results."

A total of nearly 300 million, which is too high.Didn't it mean that those models and artists were burdens they didn't want and planned to get rid of?When they signed contracts with those models, they had a guaranteed minimum income. Dongsheng Entertainment had to execute the contract when they bought it back.Ordinarily, Dongsheng Entertainment can be regarded as helping Johnny to relieve pressure, so the price is also high?
And the people from the three record companies, didn't they say that they are not valued very much, and the contract also costs 50 yuan?Damn, resignation actually has to pay such a high liquidated damages.

The people from the three record companies all signed long-term contracts. Although they did not sign life-long contracts like the locals in the island country (until the retirement age, and cannot be dismissed for no special reasons), the contract years are relatively long. The conditions are naturally high.

Shi Lei leaned into Weng Zhijian's ear: "Ask him, how much is the minimum price to buy out these people together? After he finishes speaking, don't say anything, just keep your head down and think about it. I'll observe his facial expression .”

Weng Zhijian nodded and said this to Minister Yamada.Minister Yamada pondered for a while, and also said his latest offer.

Minister Yamada thought: Weng Zhijian took the initiative to contact us, indicating that they need these people very much.It just so happens that the company is planning to lay off employees. We planned to lay off those few Chinese, but now we ask them to pay liquidated damages. The president will definitely praise me, and maybe I will be promoted.As for those few Chinese artists, because of the country’s factors, they can’t make money for the company at all, and they have to take up the company’s resources. The president has also instructed them to find a way to get rid of them. Unexpectedly, Weng Zhijian fell in love with them ,That's great.In my opinion, these people are only worth 100 million yen, as long as they meet the company's minimum standards. Now I ask him for 4000 million yen. Is it too cruel to scare them away?

Shi Lei moved closer to Weng Zhijian's ear and asked softly, "How much is 100 million yen in RMB?"

"4000 to 2000 yen. Just now, Minister Yamada offered [-] million yen. How much should we counter-offer? What do I think of [-] million yen?" Weng Zhijian asked.

Shi Lei shook his head: "Johnny's Records is planning to lay off employees, and those three people are among the layoffs, because they are temporary workers, not permanent employees. So even if we don't mention it, they will lay off those three people. The three people need to pay a compensation, so these three people should be given to us for free. We helped them solve their troubles and can negotiate a peaceful termination of the contract. As for the nine artists, Johnny also plans to get rid of them. You said it before. But your news is outdated. They must be eager to get rid of them, because those people can’t make money for the company. It’s just that the relationship between our two countries is tense. As long as we give money to those people, they will sell them to Us. You tell him, these people, give [-] yen each to buy their contracts."

Weng Zhijian looked at Shi Lei in surprise, are you joking?No matter how bad the level of those three record companies is, can they terminate the contract peacefully?And the contracts of these artists, one hundred thousand yen, what is the difference between the free money?And how did he know all the news he said? How can you tell so many things by looking at other people's expressions?
"Tell him, if he doesn't agree, we will leave."

Before Shi Lei and the others left, Minister Yamada stood up first and yelled at Weng Zhijian angrily.Shi Lei didn't need a translator, but he could understand what he meant, it was just Weng Zhijian's insincerity, how good their artists and employees were, and so on.

Shi Lei stood up and glanced at Weng Zhijian.Weng Zhijian gritted his teeth, who told Shi Lei to be the boss, let's go, the negotiation fell apart after he made an offer, and he knew that he should stick to it just now.

After Shi Lei and the others walked out of the company, Weng Zhijian was about to say something to Shi Lei when the phone rang suddenly. It was Director Yamada.

"Boss Shi, he said that the company's minimum requirement is 100 million yen, including everyone, and I agree." Weng Zhijian looked at Shi Lei with admiration. That Minister Yamada actually agreed to this ridiculous contract. Isn't this equivalent to giving these artists who have been trained for two years to Dongsheng Entertainment for nothing?

Shi Lei showed a smug smile, and patted Weng Zhijian on the shoulder: "You've done a good job, pay attention to the contract issues, I'll go back tomorrow first, you stay here and finish the matter quickly. Can not leave you."
