"Master Zero Time, please wait a moment."
At this moment, Ohga Musashi no longer acted like the vice president of Sony. He quickly stood up and chased after him in two steps.
One is walking, the other is running.
"Master Lingshi, I'm sorry, I'm blind. Please don't take it personally."
Ohga Musashi quickly caught up and apologized decisively.
As he said this, he reached out and tried to grab Kurosawa Hikaru's arm to keep him.
However, it was as if Kurosawa Mitsuru had eyes on his back, and he dodged his hand by turning sideways before it touched him.
"I have seen your company's attitude, please go back."
Kurosawa Mitsuru turned sideways and looked back at him with a cold expression.
It is very useful to do research beforehand. After some research, he has fully understood his own value.
His current situation is like a treasure mountain.
Why did Sony Music, Apple Music, and Penguin Music come to us on the same day? It’s probably because they have been watching and evaluating, but are wary of the other two.
The music market is limited. In this world where popular piano music is relatively mediocre, his piano music is of immeasurable value and can bring a huge influx of fresh blood and considerable traffic to the music market.
Although he just debuted, his Twitter followers have reached 60 million, and are still increasing at an exaggerated rate.
The music singles he uploaded on YouTube have the lowest number of views, "Croatian Rhapsody", at 270 million, and the highest number, "Adeline by the Waterside", which has soared to 600 million.
His existence is a phenomenon in the world.
That’s right, not just in Neon, but worldwide.
Although not all ten of his piano pieces are phenomenal, several of them are world-famous pieces from his previous life that have been popular for decades.
"I'm sorry, my attitude just now was wrong, but we came here with sincerity this time. The contract we give you is worth at least 13 billion, with an estimated value of more than 50 billion. This contract is one of the best in the world.
Ohga Musashi saw that he was obviously angry, but he managed to stop him, so he immediately calmed down and explained.
A contract worth at least 13 billion yen is an absolutely sky-high price even for the big names in the modern music industry.
What's more, 13 billion is just the starting point, and its value may be even higher.
You know, as long as Master Zero Hour signs this contract, his net worth will directly soar to 13 billion yen.
"You need to understand one thing: it is your company that wants to cooperate with me, not me that wants to cooperate with you. In other words, what you need to do is to impress me with your company's conditions and make me take a fancy to your company's cooperation. At present, I am not very satisfied."
Kurosawa Mitsuru was a head taller than him, and when he saw him mention the amount of the contract, he became more confident and said in a cold voice.
"Are you not satisfied with a 13 billion contract?"
Ohga Musashi's heart skipped a beat and his expression changed.
In fact, he knew that he came here to discuss cooperation on behalf of Sony, but after seeing the beauty of Igarashi Runa, he was so overwhelmed by her that he forgot everything else for a moment.
The reason why he dared to show his displeasure just now was because no matter which artist, president or boss of which agency, they were all very respectful when they saw him, fearing that he would refuse to cooperate, and they would even lower their conditions and give gifts privately to ask for cooperation with Sony.
What's more, a 16-year-old idol artist and a 30-year-old beautiful female president even added his contact information and stayed overnight in a hotel with him in order to get him to agree.
This is a very common operation. The entertainment circles of all countries are the same. It is not easy to get into the entertainment circle... Not to mention that there are agencies going bankrupt every day, at least there are countless artists who are in very difficult situations every day.
It is precisely his successful experience that made him come to discuss cooperation under the name of Sony Music this time, and he came with a contract worth at least 13 billion yen, conservatively estimated at 50 billion yen, with sufficient confidence.
Especially after he arrived at the Zero Time Agency and saw how shabby the appearance of this small company was, he was even more certain that both Master Zero Time and Runa Igarashi would beg him to sign the contract.
You know, this is a contract with a guaranteed minimum of 13 billion and an estimated value of 50 billion... Faced with such a contract, no matter who it is, they would be eager to sign it as soon as possible.
"I am very dissatisfied with your attitude just now. Go back."
Seeing his reaction, Kurosawa Mitsuru was too lazy to waste words with him. He just glanced at the two people who were accompanying him and spoke lightly.
In fact, he had just heard Ohga Musashi's attitude of making things difficult for Miss Runa outside the door, and he completely gave up the idea of cooperating with Sony.
Perhaps the conditions offered by Sony are very generous, but perhaps considering that he is a local artist in Japan, based on the industry market conditions, the conditions offered are actually the lowest.
Whether it is Penguin Music or Apple Music, the conditions are actually more favorable. After all, the industry conditions in different countries are different.
Apple Music, in particular, is wealthy and powerful, and its purpose is obvious, which is to snatch the throne of the number one music software in the streaming media market from Sony Music.
Putting this matter aside, he was not actually talking to Ohga Musashi, but to the two people who were following him.
The other man, judging by his appearance, temperament and outfit, as well as the tone of his voice just now, is probably a lawyer from Sony's legal department.
The Legal Department may not seem to be a high-ranking position in any company, but it actually has great power.
What he said should be completely conveyed by the lawyer, which will definitely make Ohga Musashi suffer.
The internal competition among large companies is terrifying, let alone Japanese companies, where the methods are extremely cruel.
"Master Zero Time, I'm really sorry. Please forgive my disrespect just now. I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that you are too young. I never thought that Master Zero Time would be so young."
Ohga Musashi followed his gaze, looked back, and saw Amuro Nakano from the Legal Department. His body trembled involuntarily, a chill rose in his heart, and he immediately bowed and apologized.
When a person claims to be law-abiding, it is often a sign of a lack of humanity.
Every lawyer in Japan is completely inhumane. They only look at the results, not the process.
That's right, in his business negotiations, as long as the contract is concluded, no matter whether he wants to use his authority to impose unspoken rules or do anything else, the lawyer will not ask, but will just turn a blind eye and laugh it off.
If he fails to reach an agreement, because the parties are not satisfied with the terms of their contract quotation, he can go back and report to the board of directors, explain the matter, and see if they would consider increasing the price.
The most terrifying thing is that if the negotiations fail due to his fault, this guy will definitely not care about their past friendship and will report the whole process to the board of directors.
"It's meaningless for you to do this."
Kurosawa Mitsuru glanced at him and said indifferently.
After he was reborn in Japan, he considered various careers, including being a lawyer.
But after much thought, he felt that being a lawyer was too inhumane. It was a sharp weapon for the rich and a nightmare for the poor. Although they might not commit crimes, they would cause unimaginable harm to others. In the end, he chose the path of a banker.
"Master Lingshi, I am a rather stupid person, so I beg you to speak clearly."
Ohga Musashi only felt that the lawyer was staring at his back. He broke out in a cold sweat and felt terrified. He knelt down on the spot and expressed his deepest apologies and sincere request.
"I'm not the one you should apologize to."
It was the first time that Kurosawa Hikaru saw Dogeza. He was a little surprised and looked up at Igarashi Runa who was standing beside him.
Facing his gaze, Igarashi Runa's mouth curled up slightly... She felt very happy and blessed.
It must be said that Kurosawa Mitsuru helped her to hold up the sky and vent her anger, which made her feel safe.
Although Ohga Musashi was rather lustful and liked to take advantage of his power, he was able to become the vice president of Sony Music Entertainment, and he was also a shrewd man. He heard the hidden meaning in the words and reacted immediately.
"Ms. Igarashi, I'm sorry. I offended you just now. Please forgive me."
The next moment, Ohga Musashi stood up and walked towards Igarashi Runa. When he was one meter close to her, he knelt down again and even kowtowed.
He had already figured it out. Master Zero Time was probably already angry when he heard him making things difficult for Igarashi Runa before he walked into the office.
That's why Master Zero's attitude was so decisive, even more overbearing than him, not polite at all, he didn't want to talk after just a few words and just turned around and left.
His doubts just now were nothing at all. The reason why Master Zero Time was angry was that he made things difficult for Igarashi Runa.
"!"
When Igarashi Runa saw him kneeling down and kowtow, she was stunned.
In fact, she had seen Dogeza... After all, the service provided by the waiters in the hot spring hotel was just like in ancient times, with a servile attitude, and they would kneel down to greet customers.
However, it was the first time for her to see a monk kowtow and admit his mistake... because this highest etiquette can only be seen in TV dramas and is basically not seen in daily life.
"Ms. Igarashi, please be magnanimous and forgive my rudeness just now."
Ohga Musashi threw away all his attitude and dignity.
Because the higher your status and the richer you are, the more you care about all this.
He could only place his hopes on her, because women were more likely to be soft-hearted than men.
A man who is so angry that he risks his life for a beautiful woman can only be stopped by her.
"Ms. Igarashi, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me."
Ohga Musashi was frightened and tried his best to seek forgiveness as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Seeing him kowtow desperately, Igarashi Runa had already vented all her anger. She looked to Kurosawa Mitsuru for help, not knowing what to do.
"Mr. Ohga."
In response to her request for help, Kurosawa Hikaru spoke.
"Yes, I'm here."
Hearing that he finally gave in, Ohga Musashi turned around excitedly and knelt on the ground facing him.
"Did you make a mistake?"
However, Kurosawa Hikaru's eyes were still cold, not as gentle as he expected.
"A mistake?"
Ohga Musashi was stunned and found that his voice was very cold.
"You should apologize to the board of directors who made the decision to cooperate with you."
Kurosawa Hikaru looked down at him from a distance and reminded him.
Once these words were spoken, the result was also announced.
This cooperation has fallen through, it is a done deal and there is no way to reverse it.
