"Director Daquan, this cooperation is of great importance. We should take our time and not rush it. And what do you mean by tricks? Apple and Penguin adopted the same strategy and were also rejected. It's not surprising."
"You're talking about a sincerity of 300 billion. Is it so easy to decide on such a large investment?!"
"Our company's operating profit last year was only 265 billion. You came up and asked for 300 billion to buy out the copyrights of ten songs and sign a contract. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
Faced with his sneer and disdain, the other directors immediately became unhappy.
"What's wrong with 300 billion? Sony is Japan's company, and Zero Hour is Japan's piano master. As long as we can cooperate and join forces, I dare say the value of this contract is at least 3 trillion!"
When Director Daquan saw that they dared to talk back, he immediately became angry.
These short-sighted and stupid bastards have no idea how valuable zero time is.
The speed of Zero Hour’s rise is unstoppable.
What’s even more frightening is that Lingshi is different from those singers who become popular overnight and then fall in the blink of an eye. He has superb playing skills, amazing arranging ability, and unfathomable strength.
In his opinion, such a brilliant figure is destined to leave a profound mark in this era, and it is absolutely worthwhile to invest heavily in him.
He understands piano, so he knows that the ten piano pieces by Master Zero Hour, either adapted or original, have magic beyond imagination.
“Can he be worth 3 trillion?”
Upon hearing this, all the directors present sneered.
"Director Daquan, you're really going too far. I admit that Zero Hour is indeed valuable, but our company's turnover last year was only 138.06 billion. Can his single contract equal the turnover of our music department for more than two years?"
When President Yoshida saw how bold he was in speaking, he immediately became angry.
If this reputation really comes to light, and if the Sony Music Department fails to cooperate with Zero Hour in subsequent contacts, his dismissal will not be enough to atone for the crime.
"Is the value pure turnover? Is that how you calculate it?"
Director Daquan thought he had a very accurate view and was not afraid of his doubts at all, so he said sarcastically.
This guy really deserves to be the one who promoted Ohga Musashi. They are all birds of the same feather, relying on their fathers' qualifications in the company to get to the top and forming cliques and factions.
He has some ability, but not much, and until now he has not realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Then tell me, how is this calculated? 3 trillion, even if it's a 10-year contract, that's 300 billion a year, you're really brave to say that."
President Yoshida was even less afraid and mocked.
The reason he was able to sit on the position of president was not only due to the influence of his father, but also due to his ability.
Not to mention that Ling Shi is a pianist with no real honors, has never won any awards, and is just a pianist who has given full recitals in small places like Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
Even if he is a phenomenal pianist who has won many trophies and held dozens or hundreds of concerts, it is impossible for him to have such value.
"Piano craze, popular support, national support, groundbreaking arrangement, and phenomenal influence... That's all I can say. You'd better find a way to sign the contract. If you are really signed by another company, just wait and see."
Seeing that he firmly believed in the value of Zero Hour, Director Oizumi was a smart man and didn't want to waste any more words with him.
Total sales? This superficial thing is just a small profit compared to the value of zero hours.
He had already investigated and witnessed with his own eyes that the emergence of Master Zero Hour had aroused the enthusiasm of countless people across Japan to learn the piano.
Ling Shi was hailed as the God of Piano and was admired by countless people, who took pride in him and even worshipped him like a madman.
Zero Hour's influence is so terrifying that it has become a national public figure before it has even fully started operations. It will be a matter of time before the authorities step in to support it.
As long as Sony and Zero Hour are tied together, they will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
"I would have found a way to sign it even without you telling me... Director Daquan, there's really no need to pretend to know something you don't."
President Yoshida actually thinks highly of Zero Hour, but it's still funny to see him flattering it.
A contract worth 3 trillion, how dare this fat guy say that? Did he think he was talking about Zimbabwean dollars? This is Japanese yen!
If this matter were to get out, it would definitely be a laughing stock.
…
For Zero Hour Agency, having temporarily turned down contracts from three major companies, Sony, Apple, and Penguin, it does not mean that the work for today is over.
Because after the piano recital, there are still many businesses and companies seeking cooperation.
After nearly a week, a lot of proposals were accumulated. After Igarashi Runa screened them, she asked Kurosawa Hikaru to take a look at the ones she thought had good conditions.
"Kurosawa, do you think I'm not suitable to be a boss?"
Igarashi Runa sat on the sofa. She took off her high heels and was wrapped in flesh-colored stockings. Her plump and round legs were placed sideways. She looked at the profile of Kurosawa Hikaru reading the contract and suddenly felt a little depressed.
She was hit hard by what happened today... She originally thought that cooperation with super large companies like Sony, Penguin, and Apple were rare and good contracts.
Who would have thought that these three big companies seemed to be full of sincerity and offered sky-high prices, often hundreds of billions, but in fact they were ruthless and had big intentions.
"You are really not fit to be a boss."
Kurosawa Mitsuru, who was reading a cooperation plan, glanced at her sideways, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Eh..."
Igarashi Runa said such discouraging words because she actually wanted him to encourage her, but she didn't expect that he agreed with her, and she immediately became sad.
"You're more suitable to be my wife than to be my boss."
Before she could think further, Kurosawa Hikaru added.
"I'm asking you seriously."
Hearing this, Igarashi Runa realized that he had set a trap for her and she felt embarrassed and annoyed, so she rolled her eyes at him.
"I am answering you very seriously."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't smile, he just looked into her eyes.
"… "
Igarashi Runa saw that he didn't seem to be joking and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
In fact, she was quite happy to hear this, even though she felt that no matter who Kurosawa Hikaru married, it would never be her turn.
After all, Kurosawa currently has four girlfriends, and she is the fourth one.
However, she was also a little sad... Because if he was serious, then what he said just now that she was not suitable to be a boss was also true.
Seeing that she was dejected and seemed to be really sad, Kurosawa Mitsuru put down the plan in his hand and started to move.
"Let me see what that expression is..."
Kurosawa Hikaru lifted his feet and placed them on the sofa, then lay down on her lap while speaking.
"Ah, what is covering my eyes? The sun and the moon are in the sky?"
Resting his head on her soft and elastic legs, Kurosawa Hikaru was surprised that he could not see Igarashi Runa's face and expression.
"Bad guy."
Seeing him making funny moves and saying meaningless words, Igarashi Runa was immediately amused and covered his eyes with her hands.
"Do you know why I said you are not suitable to be a boss?"
Hearing that she couldn't hold back her laughter, Kurosawa Mitsuru raised his hand, pulled her hands apart and asked.
"Why?"
Igarashi Runa was a little shy and always felt that this posture was embarrassing, but she was attracted by his words.
"We have been in business for so long, but you haven't hired any employees yet, and no one calls you boss. How can you be a boss?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't know what to say to her. As a boss, he had to do everything himself. In this firm, except for him as a partner, there was no one else to be seen. It was very cold and deserted.
"How is it possible that no one calls me boss? I hired eight employees and just arranged for them to work in other places. Because your identity is too sensitive, I dare not hire a large number of people, so the firm is currently adopting an outsourcing management strategy, such as the public relations team, accounting team, operation team, etc."
Igarashi Runa was a little unhappy and glared at him, but her glare was directed at her own chest.
After all, this guy was lying on her legs and was completely blocked by her fat dick.
If Kurosawa hadn't wanted to be a masked artist, the agency would have been bustling a long time ago. After all, when she was a gold medal agent, she had a wide network of contacts, and with money, it wasn't difficult to recruit people.
It's easy to recruit people, but it's difficult to keep it secret... Currently, the only people who know Zero Hour's identity are investors with clear and sincere intentions to cooperate.
"Outsourcing strategy... You are quite a good boss, and you just asked me what I do?"
Kurosawa Hikaru, who was resting his head on her legs, only felt the pleasant fragrance, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't understand what it meant.
Outsourcing, also known as resource outsourcing, resource outsourcing, and outsourcing, is one of the business activity decisions.
Companies do what they are best at and outsource other work to professional organizations that can do these things well. The key is to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
This is a very efficient form of business that can effectively solve the organization's manpower shortage problem, and it can also save costs and make good use of resources.
Because of the cooperation between different companies, if you don’t have good personal connections, the cost of trial and error is very high... because you cannot guarantee that your outsourcing partner is professional enough.
In short, the outsourcing strategy is to recruit the least core staff, save more money and utilize the services of professionals in the society.
"Because I didn't understand today's contract... I thought it was a very good contract."
Igarashi Runa was hit hard by what happened today.
If her artist wasn't Kurosawa, but was replaced by an artist who didn't know anything about the business... her decisions and opinions would be those of the artist.
When she was attracted by the sky-high contract of over 10 billion and lost herself in it, not to mention her losses, the artist's losses were huge.
After all, the artist could have gotten more money that he deserved, but ended up getting hurt by her.
"You have been a boss for a short time and lack experience. It is normal to make mistakes. But don't worry, Sister Qianhe and I are by your side and will help you solve your problems."
Although her expression could not be seen because the sun and moon covered her eyes, Kurosawa Mitsuru could guess what she was thinking.
In fact, he had thought about asking before how Miss Runa was able to become a boss as she had not been able to recruit anyone in such a long time.
However, now that I finally asked her, I found out that she had actually hired some employees and outsourced many projects, which made me feel relieved.
Because he was quite worried that Miss Runa was too sensitive about his true identity and it was not suitable to be exposed, so he did not dare to hire anyone and had to do everything himself. Sooner or later, he would be exhausted.
"Then I'll leave it to you from now on."
Igarashi Runa is not the type of person who likes to dwell on trivial matters. She asked that question just now simply because she wanted some encouragement. Now, hearing him say that, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Kurosawa was right. Unlike when she was a manager before, she always had to face many problems and troubles alone. Now, she has them by her side.
