Chapter One of the Night

   Chapter 64 Too late

   "Husband, what are you looking at?"

While intoxicated with the sheet music that she just got in her hand, she watched it, hummed softly, over and over again, while she remembered the "catalog page" she saw that afternoon. Her intuition was unbearable, but An Xiaojing couldn't bear it. Finally, he put away his thoughts and turned his attention back to Xu Zhenghua.

   hugged him and rubbed his ears.

   This song "When Love is Approaching" is really good, it's not weaker than "Short Hair" at all.

   There are eight new songs on the catalog page!

  Although I don’t know where he hid it, those songs are all mine, and I must get them—she said to herself in her heart.

   That night, Xu Zhenghua made a phone call, and she was at the side less than a centimeter away, listening to the entire phone call from beginning to end, and then directly saw the power of the phone call.

   I have to say that this gave her a new understanding of the influence of the champion singles, especially the two consecutive champion singles - far more powerful than she thought before.

Liu Kai shrank the next day. When surrounded by reporters, he repeatedly stated that he had no intention of competing for An Xiaojing's manager position. The situation in the photo was actually of him having dinner with an old friend, and he also went there when he happened to meet him. I met my parents in that restaurant, so I invited them to sit down and chat together.

   so much.

  According to what Lu Ming heard, it should be Xipo Records, the parent company of Kojima Records.

   One of the six majors in the record industry, and there are even more powerful big media groups as their backers. No manager would dare to really offend them—they have even left the category of the record industry, they are chaebols!

   "Huh? Oh, magazines!"

  Xu Zhenghua turned over the cover and showed it to her.

   "Computer Lover".

   June 1993 issue.

   The cover character is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties.

   His eyes are deep, his eyebrows are unruly, and he is not angry and arrogant.

   On his chest, there was also a sentence written in large traditional characters next to the name of the magazine—

  Dialogue with Magee: The future of computer technology is on the Internet, and the Internet needs a browser.

In the main text of   , this old man named Magee has always emphasized this concept in the interview.

   His company is called Mosaic Technology Company, which was established last winter, and its main direction is the research and development of computer browsers. It should be pretty good for now.

   Anyway, computer technology is very popular now. As a new concept in computer technology that has just been put forward, the Internet has attracted a lot of attention.

   But Xu Zhenghua had already read the interview draft before, but what he was reading was a commentator article of "Oriental Daily" reprinted in "Computer Enthusiast" magazine.

The full text of    slammed the "Telecommunication Industry Reform Bill" that Wenyuange was discussing recently. The writing was very poignant and vigorous, and he directly denounced this bill as "a precursor to dictatorship."

   In Xu Zhenghua's opinion, he was almost scolding the thieves by pointing at the noses of the big guys in Wenyuan Pavilion.

   A wonderful essay.

  Unfortunately, I didn't understand it before, and Guan Yulan obviously didn't know much about the pros and cons of this type of media, so I never bought the "Oriental Daily", and I don't know how many wonderful articles I missed.

"Oh."

An Xiaojing deliberately used her enthusiasm to give a coquettish kiss or something. In just one day, she had already mastered the way to get along with Xu Zhenghua, but seeing that Xu Zhenghua's attention was obviously not on her at the moment , not even on the new contract he just signed today, he decisively canceled the plan.

   She wasn't interested in this magazine either. After getting close for a moment, she decided to walk away.

   continued to happily look at the score in his hand.

   But, Xu Zhenghua reopened the magazine, only read two lines, but couldn't help but turn back to the cover again.

   stared at the sentence for a while, then he smiled before reopening it.

   Yes, Mr. Magee, you are right.

I'm sure.

  The development direction of computer technology is definitely the Internet, and the Internet certainly needs a browser.

   However, in a few years or so, the concept will become so common sense that it is no longer worthy of being printed on the cover and made in large print.

   Even people in the future will think like me back then, that IE is innate. You see, after the system is installed, IE already exists...

  You can also choose to install a Firefox...

   Of course, the browsers in this time and space are not necessarily called these two names.

   However, the law is the law, the details may vary widely, but the general direction should not change much.

   And everything will be so fast that it may only take a few years!

   Of course, this is all just beginning now.

   And you who say this now are a great pioneer and guide.

   What a great time!

   Everything just opened his eyes.

   Everything is still in time.

  …

   "Wait, wait, my phone is ringing!"

   "Leave it alone!"

   "Oops, don't move, stop first, my mom!"

  Tsk! It's coming, you say!

   "Oh dear husband, wait for me to pick it up..."

   She acted like a spoiled child, but after pressing the answer button, the tone changed in seconds, neither salty nor light, "Hello, Mom?"

   "Xiaojing! Come out, Mom and Dad are already at the gate of your school."

  An Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, "Ah? What are you doing here?"

"Why? Come and pick you up! Really! How many days have you not been home? Is that still your home? Are we still not your parents? Come, come, come out, let's go home, parents still I have something to discuss with you, what happened to you recently, and you want to go home!"

   "Uh... what to discuss? Mom, I'm busy!"

   She suddenly raised her head and stared, realizing that it didn't work, and became pleading again.

   finally covered his mouth.

"Let's discuss your business! You don't even know, your parents are heartbroken for you. And we recently discovered that in this circle, no one really can be trusted, especially those agents! Like that Liu Kai, I said it well before, I want to take you to a big company, but now it's better, I don't admit it, I'm so angry!"

"Well…"

"So my parents discussed it. That Liu Kai can't be trusted anymore. Your current manager, Lu Ming, is even more useless. So after my parents discussed it, you dismissed Lu Ming directly. We'll just lose their money. , and then, let your father be your agent, look, how good is this? He is your father, and anyone will cheat on you, but only your parents will never!"

"Well…"

"Also, as Liu Kai said before, he estimated that the sales of "Short Hair" must have exceeded 2 million copies. Your father said, we should go to Kojima Records to urge us to split the account. These record companies Oh, they can be delayed as long as they can. If you don't rush, they will pretend they don't know. Of course, the money must be in their own hands to be safe! Besides, Mom and Dad have already planned, and the house will only need to be redecorated. Well, although the money is not enough, it can be done first... Are you listening?"

   "Um... listening."

   "Well, but... what's wrong with you? Sounds weird?"

   "I'm fine, I was exercising just now!"

"Oh...but I called that Lu Ming, that trash, as soon as I mentioned the matter of urging and splitting the account, he hesitated, really! That's it, you come down, let's go home and discuss it, let your father Be your agent, and then he can rush and split the accounts for you, right? That's money!"

   "Mom, I have something to do, so I'll hang up first. If I don't go back, go back! I have something to do today!"

   "Huh? Hey, hey, hey..."

  …

The next morning, Lu Ming drove the car directly to the underground garage here, picked up Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing, and then went straight to Xiaodao Records—they have been so good in the past two days that they have been mixing oil in honey. I have been on leave for several days in a row. Usually, Xu Zhenghua still goes out to buy a meal.

  Uh...mainly researching new songs.

  Lu Ming made an appointment with an accountant to help check the bill when he came.

  Xu Zhenghua did not even bring an agent this time, and settled the bill himself.

   As soon as the contract for "When Love is Approaching" was signed, Kojima Records immediately became very refreshing and gave the green light all the way.

There is nothing wrong with the account, Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing each signed their own copy.

   So they each received the second share of "Short Hair".

   One large check per person.

   The settlement this time has ended at more than 2.43 million copies. After deducting the more than 1.15 million copies of the previous settlement, the total number of album sales that need to be settled is a little more than 1.28 million copies.

   Xu Zhenghua got 800,8500 yuan, An Xiaojing was less, only 385,000 yuan.

  To be reasonable, there is a high probability that within two weeks, Xu Zhenghua will settle again.

   With the current momentum of "Browning Eyes", it will definitely sell faster than "Short Hair", and it will sell more.

   Of course, in order to settle the royalties of "Beautiful Dance", we have to go to Du Xuelan's manager Liu Ju.

all the best.

  Lu Ming also drove the car again, dragged the two to the bank, deposited their respective checks, and deposited them.

   On the way, An Xiaojing sighed inexplicably, "It's really cool to save money."

   But Xu Zhenghua didn't ask deeply.

   He knew that the girl's parents should still be planning to get the money.

   Comrade Lu has been very attentive recently. He has been sent to the underground garage, and he even opened the door and went down to inquire. Then he said cheerfully: "No one, get out of the car." Then he looked at the two of them eagerly.

   As a result, the two of them got off the car and left, Xu Zhenghua said "Thank you Lao Lu" anyway, An Xiaojing simply waved her hand, hugged Xu Zhenghua's arm, and went upstairs.

   From start to finish, no one said to call him up for a sip of tea.

   He didn't dare to complain.

  There is no elevator, so the two young people walked up the ladder, turned around the corner on the second floor, and looked up. The two who were talking and laughing in a low voice raised their heads almost subconsciously, and then they were all stunned.

  Yuan Wei was standing there looking down.

   looked both shocked and at a loss.

   Look at this, look at that, it seems that everything is clear.

  Xu Zhenghua smiled and took the initiative to step up a step. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly lowered her head, "I suddenly remembered something, I'll go first."

  Then quickly walked downstairs and passed by.
