National Tide 1980

Happy!

Ning Weimin is really happy!

To be honest, he couldn't believe that he had such good luck. This was a good thing that he could never dream of.

Someone as big as Zhang Qiang actually delivered it to his door.

This is like sitting at home with nothing to do, but turning into a money tree and settling in his house.

You know, Zhang Qiang is no ordinary person, her voice is so special.

It was a unique sound that coexisted sweetness and wildness, making it unforgettable.

If we use the words of the Internet era to describe it, it is cool and sweet.

Not to mention that mainland female singers have never been able to find a voice similar to hers.

Even thirty years later, the European and American music scene would still have to use special equipment to filter the sound in order to achieve her timbre effect.

Therefore, it was not accidental that Zhang Qiang became popular through covers from 1985 to 1987. It was also due to her unique platinum voice.

If you don’t believe it, just look at her contemporaries.

The male cover singers include Zhang Xing, Chang Kuan, and Wu Diqing.

Women like Tian Zhen, Cheng Fangyuan, and Li Lingyu, all of them are very good at stripping, and they all started by singing covers.

Even Na Ying made her debut a few years later by covering Su Rui's songs and gave herself the stage name "Su Bing".

There are also a group of popular local singers born in the Guangdong Music Café. It is very convenient for these people to come into contact with Hong Kong and Taiwan songs and then cover them.

But why are none of them as popular as Zhang Qiang?

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Qiang's voice sounds good as long as she sings songs with a bright rhythm. Even if you listen to it thirty years later, it will still be timeless.

Just as outstanding, equally exciting and dynamic.

How else could she be in her fifties and still be active at the forefront of the stage as the queen of disco?

In the domestic pop music scene, even Na Ying, who grew up listening to her songs, no longer sings.

There is no one else who can stand on the stage and sing at this age like her.

To put it bluntly, this is the real seedling of the Queen of Heaven.

She fell into Ning Weimin's hands. As long as she watered her and cultivated her, she would become a mountain of gold and a sea of ​​gold from now on.

The key is that this girl is still young and not famous, and she is in an era when tapes are the best to sell and singers can make the most money.

Ning Weimin didn't even dare to think about it. If he directly led Zhang Qiang to the European and American disco style, and then found an audio-visual publishing house to cooperate with her to release a few albums, how beautiful the scenery would be!

That is the sales volume of 20 million genuine albums that has been verified by history!

Without any publicity, it relies entirely on the self-propagation attribute of word of mouth, creating a sales miracle!

sales achieved in just two years!

Guaiguai, he doesn't need to think about the long term, just looking at the benefits in front of him is enough to make him excited.

This needs to be analyzed based on the capital game model. The whole thing was born just on the edge of the wind...that's what.

The risk is low, the investment is small, the return is high, and the cycle is short.

There is no risk period at all. The first investment is the development period. It enters the maturity period in one year and can be listed on the market in two years to make money!

The key is that there is no lock-up period!

Where can I find such a cost-effective investment project?

Think about how hard you have worked hard for several years, committing crimes despite the odds, and earning such a fortune in your life.

There may not be as much gain as using this little girl to make money.

Thinking again about the plan to conquer the East across the sea and harvest the leeks from the East, there is a high probability that they will obtain a sufficient amount of capital before implementation.

Ning Weimin couldn't help but thank God from the bottom of his heart.

Ouch! This red envelope you sent is so timely and of higher quality than monkey tickets!

One can imagine how happy he is in his heart and what his attitude towards Zhang Qiang will be.

This is good, once the identity is verified, just asking for juice is not enough. Ning Weimin asked the restaurant manager to get some Western snacks for the little girl.

He kept exaggerating that Qiang could sing well and made the little girl happy. He really wished he could treat this girl as his own sister.

Even for this reason, Ning Weimin is not very enthusiastic about the current cooperation with Monita.

I went back and exchanged a few casual words with Liu Xiaoqin, promising that I would keep my promise, and then I had no interest in talking further.

Even when facing Zheng Mingming, he just asked her to think about it carefully and give her an answer within a month.

On the contrary, in order to better package the little girl Zhang Qiang in appearance, Ning Weimin opened his mouth to discuss cosmetics with Zheng Mingming. He needed colorful and shiny eye shadow, lipstick, and nail polish.

After all, it's something that one person can't get much benefit from, but it's different here.

So for other people, it's a big or small embarrassment.

First of all, neither the restaurant manager nor Liu Xiaoqin expected that such a reckless little girl who just sang a few lines from Ning Weimin would be so appreciated and valued by Ning Weimin.

This made the restaurant manager quite uneasy and a little regretful. He didn't know if he had set a trap for himself.

Liu Xiaoqin suspected that Ning Weimin was deliberately letting things go, and seemed to have some evil intentions towards the little girl.

This made her even more suspicious that Ning Weimin had some unique hobbies that prevented him from falling in love like ordinary people.

Secondly, Zheng Mingming was also surprised.

Because it seemed to her that Ning Weimin didn't really care about whether they could reach a cooperation, but he was very interested in making a little girl a singer.

In addition, Song Huagui's attitude towards Ning Weimin was particularly amiable, which made her wonder whether Ning Weimin was a red-blooded guy with a good background.

How else could he act so willfully at Pierre Cardon?

But the problem is that Ning Weimin doesn't seem to be a loser, but more like a business genius.

It is indeed very smart to be so firm about the brand value without relaxing at all.

He even has his own unique understanding of cosmetics.

Even though it was just a casual comment, the special request instantly broke through the shackles of her thinking and gave her great inspiration.

She immediately realized that such shiny and colorful cosmetics were perfect for increasing her stage performance.

It will definitely be sought after by the entertainment industry, which contains certain business opportunities.

But the problem is that she doesn't know how to achieve it.

From her knowledge, it seems that there are currently no cosmetics with such effects in Hong Kong City.

So whether to develop independently or cooperate with Pierre Cardin has become a difficult choice.

For this reason, she couldn't help but admire Ning Weimin's open mind, and she vaguely felt that this young man needed special attention.

It's best to inquire carefully about his background before making a prudent decision.

In fact, even Song Huagui was inevitably surprised by Ning Weimin's shift in focus.

At first she thought that Ning Weimin was using Zhang Qiang as an excuse, and his attitude of not caring about the outcome of the negotiation was a deliberate negotiation strategy.

But then she stopped thinking that way. She discovered that Ning Weimin really cared about this little girl and really focused on her.

But having said that, Song Huagui's taste and aesthetics are first-rate.

Later, on the recommendation of Ning Weimin, I watched Zhang Qiang play and sing "Whispers" and "Assorted Vegetables" live on the guitar he brought.

She could also tell that this little girl was indeed very talented in music and had great potential for development.

Although she was not as happy as Ning Weimin, she was convinced that this girl was born to sing and would be the future spokesperson of domestic disco style.

It will definitely make a big difference in the operation of Maxim's restaurant and how its reputation will grow.

But she also admitted that Zhang Qiang's voice is a bit sweet and coquettish, and her singing style is a bit wild and very self-contained, so it would be no problem for her to perform on stage at Maxim's Restaurant.

And it can be said that he is the kind of singer she has been looking for, who can effectively complement Cui Jian's band.

After all, in the past, Maxim Restaurant could only use models to make up for the shortcomings of the Seven Ply Band's excellent style in the band's performance. With Zhang Qiang, there would be no shortcomings in the night's performance.

Therefore, Song Huagui did not force Ning Weimin to help Ning Weimin with Monita's matter today, but instead helped Ning Weimin.

She said that she had some cosmetics bought in Paris, France, which seemed to have the special effects requested by Ning Weimin and could be used by Zhang Qiang.

This naturally made Ning Weimin overjoyed.

As for Zhang Qiang, the only thing Song Huagui was picky about was that her English pronunciation was not very accurate and she said it needed to be improved.

As a result, Zhang Qiang was embarrassed to tell her, saying that she just listened to the tape recorder and used pinyin notation to practice singing.

It doesn’t even have lyrics, so it’s difficult to improve your English.

Song Huagui was too embarrassed to be picky anymore.

I feel more and more that this girl is a bit cute, maybe she really likes English songs.

In the end, Ning Weimin settled the matter with a smile.

"Sister, don't be afraid if there are no lyrics. It's easy to deal with inaccurate English pronunciation. I can take care of it. The important thing is... she sings really well. What do you think?"

In this way, today's meeting at Maxim's Restaurant ended without reaching the most important cooperation.

However, what happened in Maxim's Restaurant on this day had a particularly significant subsequent impact, and even affected the course of the original history.

On the one hand, after Zheng Mingming and Liu Xiaoqin left, Zheng Mingming invited Liu Xiaoqin to dinner at the Capital Hotel where he lived that night.

During the dinner, Zheng Mingming kept asking Liu Xiaoqin about Ning Weimin's identity and background, and his behavior, hoping to use this as a reference for subsequent decisions.

Liu Xiaoqin also remembered Ning Weimin's words, and Zuo instead tested Zheng Mingming's character.

He deliberately asked her how much profit she made from taking over the modeling competition business.

After the meal, Liu Xiaoqin followed Zheng Mingming back to his room and got an 18K gold necklace.

Liu Xiaoqin made the decision out of dissatisfaction.

Knowing that Zheng Mingming could earn at least ten or two hundred thousand yuan, she still felt that Ning Weimin, who took the initiative to give her fifty thousand yuan and reminded her that "it is necessary to be on guard against others", was more of a friend.

So he immediately blew Ning Weimin's name and deliberately exaggerated his status as a shareholder.

It is said that it is not easy to offend Ning Weimin, but if someone interferes with it, this matter will definitely become dirty.

Moreover, if he could not protect himself in the future, he would launch revenge on his connections and deliberately undermine the cooperation between Zheng Mingming and others.

It is suggested that Zheng Mingming should proceed from the overall situation and take a step back to broaden the horizons.

Anyway, Pierre Cardon promised not to interfere in the management of the joint venture company, and it was impossible for Ning Weimin to work in the joint venture company due to his position.

So what is more important than having actual control over the joint venture company?

Zheng Mingming was moved by her words and began to be inclined to compromise and agreed to all Ning Weimin's conditions.

On the other hand, Zhang Qiang returned home happily.

As soon as he saw his mother, he hugged her and proudly told her the good news.

"Mom, your star-making plan will finally succeed, and your daughter will become a singer."

Zhang Qiang's mother didn't believe it, but she was also infected by her daughter's happiness. I knew something good was going to happen.

"You're talking nonsense again. Where have you been today? Are you looking for a performance opportunity? Where are you singing? Tell mom..."

"Mom, you would never have imagined it. I can go to Maxim's to sing, every Friday and Saturday, two nights from eight to nine-thirty, five songs at a time, and they promised to give me two hundred yuan a week. How about it?" "

"How's it going? Oh, my daughter is great! Your performance this week is equal to our monthly salary. Is it true?"

"Haha, that's still fake. Oh my god, from now on, I'll be the one spending the money on you."

Zhang Qiang excitedly protected her mother's neck, and the mother and daughter were cheek to cheek.

"Oh, are you brave enough to go by yourself today? Is this really the case?" Zhang Qiang's mother was more excited than her daughter and was still asking.

"That's..." Suddenly, Zhang Qiang lay in her mother's arms and cried loudly.

This frightened Zhang Qiang's mother's face. "What's wrong? Okay...why are you wronged?"

"It's nothing, I'm happy. I didn't know it. At first, I got into trouble and was almost kicked away. But later, I met a good man, a big brother named...Ning. Not only did he promise to stay and sing for me, but he also gave me I’m about to release an album…”

"Publish an album? Big brother?" Zhang Qiang's mother felt even more dizzy, "Where can such a thing happen? You...haven't you met a liar?"

"Look what you said, even the restaurant manager was respectful to Brother Ning. By the way, Liu Xiaoqin was also there. She was aggressive with me at first, but later she became kind because Brother Ning was so kind to me. She even took the initiative to give me an autograph. .Look, look..."

As Zhang Qiang said, he took out a notebook from his schoolbag and opened it. On a white page, Liu Xiaoqin's name was signed.

Zhang Qiang's mother looked at the signature and her mind almost stopped.

It's so hard for her. Today, she is being punished by her daughter every time, and she really can't react.

But that's not the end yet, Zhang Qiang's most surprising words are yet to come.

"Mom, I almost forgot. Brother Ning is coming to our house at seven o'clock in the evening. He wants to see you and talk to you about my album."

"What? At night? Tonight?"

"Well, you should cook early..."

"Hey, you kid, why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier? What else are you going to cook? I can't prepare anything right now..."

To say that old age is still hotter, Zhang Qiang’s mother dug into her pocket and took out ten yuan.

"Okay, I'm cleaning the house, so don't be idle. Go to the small restaurant at the entrance of the alley to buy some steamed buns, and some fruits, soda and tea..."

"Oh well……"

"Remember, buy the ones that look good. If there are bananas, buy bananas. Don't pay attention to those little gangsters. Don't go back to those gangsters to cut you off, and you will go back to chatting with others and eating watermelon..."

"Hey, remember..."

Watching her daughter jumping away, Zhang Qiang's mother showed a complicated expression full of hope, but not sure whether she was happy or worried.
