Cheng Ran asked Qin Xizhen and Chen Muyi to reveal their secret plan and what progress they have made. Qin Xizhen said that they currently have nearly 100 songs by top singers and about 500 to 600 other songs. This is almost the number they can negotiate with their own connections. If they want to achieve the goal that Cheng Ran originally set for them, 200 songs by top singers and about 3,000 songs of other types, they will have to acquire several major labels and independent labels to achieve the expected number.
Cheng Ran said that it was no problem, go ahead and buy it, if the money was not enough, he could make up for it. He was very happy when he said that, it turned out that spending money was a pleasure, especially when you know that spending money can be rewarded, the worry-free pleasure is much higher than simply spending.
Qin Xizhen said, "Why do you sound exactly like some investors who are looking for cooperation?" After all, after she appeared in the Di'ao advertisement, she received some invitations one after another. There was no shortage of people who wanted to show off their strength in front of her and win her favor. Although she didn't show any clues on the surface, she would inevitably frown in private. Maybe she wanted to be a capitalist and a big boss, and these factors were involved.
However, Cheng Ran expressed a tone of praise that others were looking for, "Great. That's quite manly. It's already started... Of course I'll ask you for help when I don't have enough money. After all, you just come up with a plan, and I'm the one running the errands. Don't you know that my legs are about to break..."
She sounds very delicate, but only those who have actually dealt with Qin Xizhen know how ruthless she is in business. At least the first-tier and quasi-first-tier domestic musicians at Ocean Music are all intimidated by her aura.
Of course, Cheng Ran was also impressed by the speed of progress on Qin Xizhen's side. This kind of thing really requires someone in the circle, especially someone with a certain amount of power, to make it go smoothly.
If Cheng Ran came, with a lot of money, he would not be able to get in. Just seeking to contact musicians and convincing record companies and labels to reach an agreement would be a task that is many times more difficult, and he might even suffer some losses. But if these were given to Qin Xizhen, who was knowledgeable and reputable, it would be much smoother.
Tenth Middle School had started evening self-study classes from seven to nine-thirty. When Cheng Ran got the notice, he thought that he might have less time to hang out at Tianxing Dojo, so he went to meet Xie Feibai when he was there.
Rongcheng Foreign Language School had started evening self-study a long time ago, but for Xie Feibai, it was just a cover. He came and went as he pleased, fully demonstrating the style of a generation of school bullies in Rongcheng Foreign Language School. Cheng Ran went to have dinner with Xie Feibai after school and found a long scratch on Xie Feibai's cheek, which had begun to scab. Cheng Ran couldn't help laughing, "Was it scratched by a woman? It seems that the battle was very intense."
Xie Feibai said angrily, "You were the one who was caught by the woman. I should go to school and earn money for the Internet cafe. Why would I spend my free time there?"
Cheng Ran laughed, "Why are you so angry? Why don't you just ask?"
"Ask Chanchan, I see you are just asking for guesses when we meet, don't think I don't know what you are thinking..."
"Why are you swearing so much now..." Cheng Ran frowned, "Is it like eating or drinking gunpowder with you?"
"What's the matter? I am just like this and I can't change it."
Cheng Ran laughed, "Did your parents use me as a role model to educate you again? What happened this time? Are you using my rank second in the grade as an excuse or something else? Are you better at business than you? There's nothing you can do. Is it so hard to admit that I'm a genius?"
"Get lost! How many times do you have to scold me for treating me to a meal? You'll die if you don't say a few words! Hurry up, I want to eat Jinse's air-shipped seafood."
"Eat your head, skewers, eat it if you want."
After Xie Feibai hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's eat from the old skewers in Shaocheng! I want two bowls of dry sauce!"
"What do I owe you? Why are you so bitter and resentful?"
A group of people were sitting in the skewers restaurant. Cheng Ran asked Ma Hongyu and others who were from the second floor who were considered small shareholders, "Why is Lu Ling not here?"
Among Xie Feibai's former friends, Lu Ling was a lively girl, and Cheng Ran had a deeper impression of her. But Hu Rui said that he hadn't had the chance to tell you, Brother Cheng, that Lu Ling had gone abroad. Her family sent her to study in Australia. We had gotten the news before, and she said that everyone would get together before she went abroad, but she left in a hurry and didn't have time. She left with her mother and relatives in Guangzhou, and they took her there. Even we didn't have a final dinner with her.
Ma Hongyu said, "Her father was originally the president of the Menxia Reservoir Power Company. Her uncle's family has already immigrated there. When her father retires, he will also go there. Her mother will live there first to take care of her. She said that they have bought a house with a yard and green space of 100 to 200 square meters. Later, the whole family decided to immigrate there. In the end, Chengdu is just her hometown across the ocean. I guess she will live there after she finishes her studies, and the next few generations will live there. But it is said that it is a developed country with good air, blue sky, large space, and you can play with guns and hunt. It's great!"
"Oh, a comfortable life. It's a very comfortable life after all. Lu Ling's family is rich and has the conditions. If our family works hard in this life, I wonder if we can also get out." Hu Rui said with anticipation.
Deng Wei showed a contemptuous expression, "Going abroad for fun is fine, traveling around the world is fine, but if you say you want to immigrate, your descendants will all become citizens of someone else's territory. Forget it, I still like our country in this life. After all, when it comes to the richness of history, there are the splendid culture of five thousand years, Tang poetry and Song lyrics, which other countries don't have."
Then several people started arguing with each other. Some said that the history was not that long, some said that the systems in foreign countries were such and such, some said that they were more free and developed, and some said that people with yellow skin and black eyes could not give up their blood, otherwise why would there be the saying of returning to one's roots.
Several people talked about my own things and my own. After all, we were all boys who had just turned 18, full of longing for new things and summarizing part of life.
But Cheng Ran knew that people like Lu Ling, who used to play together almost every day, would probably only see each other a few times in the rest of their lives, or even rarely see each other again. This sudden separation might not be something they could realize right away, but in fact, it was the first time that such a significant mark was left on them.
In fact, these are the things that everyone in front of us will face in the future.
During this meal, everyone drank beer and talked and laughed. Sometimes they would talk about the past and interesting scenes in the future, but Lu Ling did not join in the jokes about losing a lot. Although the overall situation was pleasant, everyone knew that something was missing.
After dinner, Cheng Ran came out to pay the bill. The five of them drank two bottles of beer, and the total bill was 120 yuan. In addition, Xie Feibai really ordered two secret dry sauces priced at three yuan. Cheng Ran couldn't help but think that this era is still really lovely.
After going out, Ma Hongyu secretly pulled Cheng Ran and said that Feibai didn't let us say it, but I think Cheng Ge'er, you still have to know about this, you must not say that I said it. Didn't you have the incident with Wu Lei of Tenghua Company during your summer vacation? Wu Lei's father's assessment of Tenghua Company was said to be directly hit back by your Fulong, which caused a big fuss. Wu Lei's father Wu Liwei cleaned up your family, but Wu Lei is said to have spread dirty words to get revenge on you. He is a relatively open person, and this kid has some problems with his brain, it is hard to guarantee that he will not be extreme and take a drastic approach. Feibai thinks that he might really cause trouble for you in private. He looks down on Wu Lei, so he went to find him some time ago. We all accompanied him. At that time, we blocked the kid in a car repair shop. Feibai said, do you know who you are, Cheng Ge, he dares to cause trouble for you, who is he? Give him a choice today, either let Wu Lei call people, call as many people as you want, I thank Feibai and wait for you here.
How about we fight one-on-one? You can use a knife or fists to solve it. If you stab me, I won't stop you from going to Cheng Ran. But if you can't even move me, and you dare to talk about going to Cheng Ran after today, I'll have someone cut off your arms and legs.
Seeing Cheng Ran frowning, Ma Hongyu said again, Wu Lei dared not use a knife, and then the two of them fought alone, and in the end the guy fell to the ground, and the wound on Xie Feibai's face was caused at that time. He really doesn't bully others for no reason.
