Chapter One of the Night

   Chapter 101 Multimillionaire

   "Hello, second brother?"

   "Ah, it's me, is it Zhenghua? Why do you remember to call? Is there something wrong?"

Xu Zhenghua's second senior brother, Lu Liguo, worked in a factory. At first, he had no skills and did rough work. Later, he learned to drive a forklift. Now he is able to drive large goods. He is responsible for driving large vehicles between the two factories of the company. The truck was delivering, and he didn't have a mobile phone, so he could only call their work section to find him. Fortunately, after more than half an hour, he drove back and called.

Anyway, Xu Zhenghua was bored waiting in the car, and he only read two articles in half an hour, but he didn't take it seriously, "Well, there is something. I want to ask you, there is a driving job, you Would you like to do it?"

   "Oh...introduce me to work? I'm doing pretty well now!"

   "More money."

   "Oh...what kind of car? Will this work last long?"

   "As far as cars are concerned, you should definitely be fine, big trucks are so slippery!"

   "That's no problem, I'm sure I can drive a car well..." He hesitated and asked, "Is your boss looking for someone?"

  Second Senior Brother is just an honest and real person, but he is definitely not stupid.

   The response is fast!

"not me."

"Are you looking for someone to drive?" He was stunned for a moment, "Why are you paying that money! The driving test is very good, but if you can't, you can find Xiao Shi and let him do it for you. Although he is not in the traffic police team, he has a big face. He will definitely get it for you! You get a copy, and you want to drive your own car!"

  Xu Zhenghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained patiently, "Second brother, I'm going to start a company! I need to find someone who I can absolutely trust, who can help me keep secrets, and who has excellent driving skills at the same time."

"Oh……"

   He pondered for a moment, and his tone soon became relaxed, "It seems that you are really messed up! Hehe, I want to take care of the second brother! Well, eat with my brother, I have nothing to say, no shame!"

   "That's it, go through the resignation formalities when you go back! Let my sister-in-law quit her job too. I'll arrange for someone to rent a house for you here in the past two days. You can come here with my niece."

   "Ah? Your sister-in-law is going too?"

   "What you said... I brought you here and left my sister-in-law alone in the vacant room? Don't worry, I'll pay you the rent, you can rest assured to settle down here and help me drive a car for a few years."

"Hey...hehe, then...then your sister-in-law can't do anything in the past, she's only a little stronger than me, just a high school graduate, going to places like the imperial capital...but she can drive...you Looking for two drivers?"

Hi!

  Second Senior Brother, this person is really honest.

   In my memory, the second sister-in-law was also a sincere and simple person.

   He has limited knowledge and little ability, but he is very practical in life and work.

This is enough.

"Ang! Find two drivers, you both can come!" He couldn't help laughing, "My niece is only four years old, and after you two come here, you can't let others stay with the child for two years! "

  Lu Liguo smiled, "Yes! But...people like us can't go to work alone..."

   "The next time you earn by yourself, you will earn more than the two of you now. Don't worry?"

On the other side of the phone, Lu Liguo paused for a few seconds, "Okay, brother, I understand what you mean, the second brother turned around and dealt with it neatly, and went to find you. I'm going to have a meal with you!"

   "Hey, that's right! Come asap!"

Just after saying this, Xu Zhenghua raised his head and saw Guan Yulan and Senior Sister walking out of the building of Oriental Star - it seemed that the money was in hand, and they were both talking and laughing, so he hurried Said: "That's fine, then I'll hang up! Call before you come!"

   He quickly put away his mobile phone, opened the door to welcome him out, "Is it going well?" and glanced upstairs.

   Xie Shuyi said with a smile, "It went well, no problem!"

   During the conversation, she opened the document bag, took out a check and handed it over.

  Xu Zhenghua took a look and couldn't help but flicked his fingers, "Oh, not bad!"

Today is a good day to settle royalties. Not only Dongfang Star, but also Kojima Records have already agreed to settle it today, but comparing the two sides, Xu Zhenghua is even more worried about Dongfang Star and Zhao Tianping. , in order to avoid any accidents as much as possible, he chose to settle here first.

  Xu Zhenghua was of course reluctant to go to the Oriental Star to fight with Zhao Tianping, so he signed a power of attorney in advance, agreeing to his personal accountant Xie Shuyi to sign and receive it on his behalf.

   Now it looks like everything is going well.

   He handed the check back and opened the car door, "Get in the car first, the sun is too hot!"

   So the three got into the car.

  Because Xu Zhenghua stayed in the car to blow the air conditioner, the car never turned off. Guan Yulan, as the driver, drove the car to the road first, which was equivalent to leaving the introduction and explanation to Xie Shuyi.

   Today is Xie Shuyi's first time as Xu Zhenghua's private accountant to audit and settle accounts on her behalf.

   Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and the other party did not play any tricks.

   The first settlement of "Qianqianque Song" was directly settled to the more than 3.58 million sales!

   It can be seen that even during the four-week card two period, the top ten of the B list is not given for nothing, it is really a big sale! Not to mention that the past two weeks have been consecutive championships...it's selling like crazy!

  Xu Zhenghua enjoys a total of 14% of the royalties in this single. After settlement, the total is about 3,008,000 yuan - a proper big check, it is worth playing it.

   According to a simple estimate, Jin Xiaoqing, who can only receive 5% of the royalties, also received a million check this time!

   Of course, Guan Yulan signed the check and took it away.

   "Perfect! The next one!"

  The journey of collecting money has just begun!

   Next is the office of He Jianliang, the vice president of Kojima Records.

   This time, Xu Zhenghua followed and took it by himself.

   And this time, there will be two copies - "Short Hair" has been sold for so long, and it could have been settled again. He Jianliang has recently paid special attention to flattering Xu Zhenghua. Guan Yulan mentioned it, and he agreed.

   As soon as he got out of the elevator and entered the corridor, he saw An Xiaojing and Lu Ming who had been waiting for a long time.

An Xiaojing had already wanted to come back and won He Jianliang's approval. Now that she knew that Xu Zhenghua had made an appointment with He Jianliang and the royalties would be settled on Tuesday morning, she had a reason to retreat in advance, so she took her with her last night. The Xuanfa team came back by plane.

Of course, as Xu Zhenghua had expected, she didn't dare to go back to their house or even stay in a hotel. She got off the plane and got into the car where her parents picked her up and went back to her big villa. went.

Not to mention the relationship between their father and daughter, mother and daughter, has indeed eased a lot, even if there are still some contradictions and knots that have not been resolved in time, under the constant attention of the media and paparazzi, she returned from a long trip. It is also absolutely impossible to live in a hotel - that is to tell people that something is wrong with her family.

   I don't know how she dealt with her parents. Anyway, this time, she only brought Lu Ming and the accountant they had met before, but her parents didn't show up.

   Xu was sleepy, An Xiaojing was dozing off on the bench.

   Here Xu Zhenghua got off the elevator, a group of three people walked over, Lu Ming gently pushed her, then she woke up, stood up, rubbed her eyes and smiled.

   In front of so many people, especially in front of He Jianliang's assistant and her accountant, the two of them greeted each other, hugged each other lightly, and then let go.

   She stood on tiptoe and took the opportunity to quickly lick Xu Zhenghua's earlobe.

   may be flirting.

   As soon as her ears were wet, she had loosened.

   looked at Xie Shuyi in surprise again.

   Here, Lu Ming came up to meet him, and when he shook his waist and shook hands with Xu Zhenghua, she already smiled, and walked over to Xie Shuyi, "Hello, you are..." She pointed to Xu Zhenghua behind her, "Is his senior sister?"

  Like Yuan Wei, she has picked up the photo on the piano countless times and looked at it carefully.

   I have a deep memory of the beauty of Xu Zhenghua's two senior sisters.

Xie Shuyi stretched out her hand with a gentle smile. The scene of this girl licking Xu Zhenghua's earlobe just now was invisible to the few people behind her, but it happened to fall into her and Guan Yulan's eyes, "Now I'm his accountant. My name is Xie Shuyi, Nice to meet you, Miss Ann."

An Xiaojing didn't have the slightest bit of celebrity air, and she immediately showed full enthusiasm. At the same time, a blush appeared on her face. Of course, she knew that the scene just now was seen by this woman. At this time, she stretched out her hand and smiled, "Ah, hello, Senior Sister! I've seen your photo on his piano for a long time! Your real person is more beautiful than the photo!"

   Xie Shuyi's smile remained unchanged, "Thank you!"

Everyone chatted for a while, and Lu Ming ran over and gave Xie Shuyi some flattery. After getting to know him, Xu Zhenghua's face gradually turned ugly, and he asked He Jianliang's assistant, "What about President He? Jing is waiting outside? Let's just keep waiting like this?"

   This is very shameless!

The assistant was embarrassed by his question, and hurriedly explained, "Mr. He has something to do temporarily, so he went to our office, Mr. Zhou, and he instructed when he left that you should go to his office to rest when you come, but just now Miss An said, Since they are not there, they can just wait outside for a while, and then..."

  Okay... But, after the settlement was settled in the morning, I suddenly went to work on other things. What does this mean?

  Xu Zhenghua looked back at Guan Yulan.

   Guan Yulan silently shook her head slightly.

   It seems that she doesn't know either.

  Then just have to wait.

   Xu Zhenghua also chose not to enter He Jianliang's office - the owner was not there, so it was a bit taboo to enter.

   just sat down and chatted with Lu Ming.

  Don't talk to An Xiaojing - in front of a large group of people, you can't kiss or hug, but if you want to say something fake, it's boring, it's better to gossip with Lu Ming, naturally.

  An Xiaojing obviously meant the same thing. After sitting down, she took Guan Yulan and Xie Shuyi to chat with her—as long as she played it normally, her brain and emotional intelligence were absolutely sufficient to deal with this situation.

   As a result, the wait was more than twenty minutes.

Xu Zhenghua, who was waiting for   , became more and more impatient.

  If An Xiaojing hadn't been waiting here, he would have decided to go to Liu Ju's office first-according to the agreed time, Chen Bangdao and Du Xuelan would have arrived by now.

   "Zhenghua, Xiaojing... I'm sorry for the delay! I've been waiting for a long time!"

More than 20 minutes later, He Jianliang came out of an office not far away, almost at the end of the corridor. He walked in a hurry, first shook hands with Xu Zhenghua and greeted them, but then said, "Zhenghua, come with me first. !" He turned back to An Xiaojing and Guan Yulan and said, "I'm sorry everyone, wait a moment! I'm sorry!"

   He then put his arms around Xu Zhenghua's shoulders and opened the door directly into his office.

   Xu Zhenghua's expression has sunk.

  Look at this performance... Didn't he smell something?

  Can't...?

   is a good concealment!

Venus Records has also been working hard to keep things within a very small range, and the key is that the contract has been signed, everyone is already their own, and they shouldn't have any motives to deliberately spoil their own affairs. .

   But obviously, something went wrong.

   "Zhenghua, sit down, sit first, I won't be polite to you!"

Pulling Xu Zhenghua to sit down on the sofa, he directly waved his hand to drive away the assistant, and unbuttoned a button on his chest by himself, "It's not the first time we've worked together as brothers, and cooperation has always been very pleasant, so I have something to say. Straight up...if, I mean if! If Xipo Records wants to dig you up..."

  Xu Zhenghua suddenly widened his eyes.

  What the hell?

He Jianliang quickly explained, "Don't think too much, it's the news that I gave you a quote, and I don't know how it got to Xipo Records. They suddenly started to care about this matter, and just gave us a call from President Zhou, And it was the boss at the top, Mr. Cai. However, I discussed it with Mr. Zhou, and our attitude is very firm! Even if it is Xipo Records, we will never give in..."

He suddenly grabbed Xu Zhenghua's hand with an extremely eager attitude, "Zhenghua, we really want to sign you, come to Kojima, okay? Although we are not a big company like Xipo, I am here for you. I promise that the conditions and treatment we give you will never be worse than Xipo Records! It will even be better!"

"Uh……"

   "The key point is that although our company is small, there are few broken things!"

He grabbed Xu Zhenghua's hand tightly with one hand, and clapped his chest with the other to make a promise, with an unbelievably sincere attitude, "With me here, I'll take care of everything for you, and you can just be responsible for making music, right? No one else will. I know, I know, you are an artist, and you are a top-notch creative artist, you actually really hate those **** things, right?"

  This...you don't actually know.

   Not only am I not an artist, but I'm also the best at dealing with those scumbags!

   I am an artist purely by force.

   Just to make money!

   Doing business is my true job!

   Of course, this life may not necessarily continue.

   At least in the last few years, I don't plan to do it, because there is a clear wave coming.

   That one got rich too fast.

   Catch up with a spray and just lie down and win.

   "Mr. He, I understand your feelings. But, in fact, until now, I haven't received any news from Xipo Records that you mentioned. No one has contacted me, I promise!"

  Xu Zhenghua also played the same thing as chest pats, and took advantage of the situation to bring the topic back, "But can we not talk about this today? I understand what you mean, but Xiaojing and the others are still waiting outside!"

   Today's theme is settlement, man!

   First settle the money that should be given to us, and then I can showdown with you!

   As for Xipo Records... sorry, they're late!

   But who made Liu Junxian have savage eyes and a smart nose, and take the initiative to do things!

   He had already found me at such an early age, and his attitude was so sincere. Given that everyone's strengths are about the same, then of course I would choose the familiar and not the student!

  I'm sorry, although you were already in the bureau, but I never told you!

   "Um... well, then... settle first?"

   It's not easy!

   Looking at his expression, it is estimated that he is still struggling inside!

   was hesitant.

After all, the settlement of "Short Hair" and "When Love is Approaching" is not a small amount. It is his advantage to hold the money in his hand, but at this moment, it is impossible for him to directly cheat and not settle the settlement. .

   Wouldn't that be like tearing your face off?

  So, settlement.

   opened the door, hula la, six or seven people poured in together.

  He Jianliang was very preoccupied, and he invited the people from the accounting department to take the sales account book and handed it over to the two accountants who came here to check the account book. He sat back at the desk and lost his mind.

  This settlement was also agreed in advance, the accounts must have been carefully prepared, and there would be no problems easily, at least it would not be easy for you to see - even if there were problems, it would take a long time to find out.

  For example, the account of that channel has been over five months old, and it has not been counted yet?

   Now, these accounts are fine.

   So the settlement begins.

   "Short Hair" has been settled to more than 2.43 million sheets last time, and this time, after checking the account, it has been settled to more than 3.34 million sheets - over 910,000 sheets, Xu Zhenghua took 10.5%, and can settle 574,000 yuan.

"When Love is Approaching" belongs to the first settlement, and the sales momentum of this single disc is quite good, so the first settlement is directly more than 2.18 million copies - this Xu Zhenghua is already 15% of the royalties, After some calculations, the settlement was 1,963,000 yuan.

   Add the two together, 2.538 million yuan.

  An Xiaojing can get much less, of course, her royalties for both songs are only 5%.

   In the end, it’s probably less than 930,000.

   However, through the actual combat of the four songs, Xu Zhenghua gradually concluded some rules.

   In the record market anywhere, there is no doubt that the main consumers are teenagers, because they have the most time and the least worries. Some of them have a lot of time and spare time to listen to songs and chase stars.

   But the way of youth popularity, at least in the current domestic market, is not the best-selling.

   is very simple, the social economy is developed, and the domestic weekends are generally closed. After you have money, everyone is willing to spend money to pursue higher spiritual enjoyment - so, the adult record consumption market is really not small.

Teenagers, however, will be moved by good adult lyric work, but adults generally don't like teenage pop - no matter what style, it's definitely still you love me, I love you, and you don't love me. It's such a silly thing to love you, but the love of an adult is no longer that of a teenager.

As a result, after the two-week consecutive championship of "Thousand Thousand Que Song", the first settlement, the confirmed sales data has reached more than 3.58 million copies, and it still has strength to this day. Although "Short Hair" once exploded It’s also popular, but it has been on the market for so long, and the total sales volume is only 3.34 million!

   Next, "Thousand Thousand Que Song" broke through the single sales of 5 million copies all the way, there is almost no doubt about it, no matter how high it is, it is still worth looking forward to, but the popularity of "Short Hair" has basically passed.

Next, if An Xiaojing's new album does not include this song and sells it as a single disc, it will surely sell 4 million copies of this line slowly, but once the album is released, the sales of the single disc will increase It definitely fell off.

   In terms of time progress, as long as An Xiaojing's album is not too procrastinating, the possibility that the single "Short Hair" has sold 4 million copies is infinitely close to zero.

   "When Love is Approaching" is also a similar fate.

   The next three million copies are definitely not a problem, but four million... don't even think about it.

  The bill is fine, Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing signed on their respective ledgers to confirm.

  The check is in hand.

   He Jianliang's eyes were full of expectations, and it seemed that he really wanted to pull Xu Zhenghua to stay and continue to chat.

  An Xiaojing also frequently looked over and gave her a wink.

   But it was obvious that Xu Zhenghua was not free for the time being. He smiled at He Jianliang, but told An Xiaojing, "Then let's go first, and there is still no settlement for "Beautiful Eyes"!"

   So he gave An Xiaojing a look when he was going out. He took Xie Shuyi and Guan Yulan and went straight to Liu Ju's office - sure enough, Chen Bangdao and Du Xuelan were already waiting there.

   So Xie Shuyi watched Xu Zhenghua sit with Du Xuelan again with her own eyes. The two of them almost had their heads next to each other, whispering together, and chatting very hotly.

  Du Xuelan is different from An Xiaojing. First, her personality dictates that she never cares about the opinions of unexpected people. Second, the two of them have a clean heart and can calmly ignore any gaze from the outside world.

   Even in front of many people, she can bite her ears with Xu Zhenghua without any scruples.

The    accounts are also fine.

After signing   , Xu Zhenghua got the fourth check today.

It is already the second settlement of "Beautiful Dance". Xu Zhenghua still clearly remembers that the last settlement was about the sales volume as of June 20. At that time, more than 1.83 million copies were settled, and this time it was settled until August 8. , that is, last Sunday, a total of nearly 50 days have passed, and the total sales of this single disc has actually reached more than 4.86 million copies!

   We are only one step away from 5 million sales!

   This song is Xu Zhenghua's second song. There were many twists and turns before signing it. When it was finally negotiated, he could only get 14% of the royalties. This time, he got a total of 2.547 million yuan.

   After the business was done and the check was put away, Xu Zhenghua was satisfied.

   These four pieces are added together, and you can quickly calculate them in your head. It should look like a total of 8.09 million in total—hey, plus the previous 2 million or so deposits, my brother is already a multi-millionaire!

  Du Xuelan ignored her own check, handed it over to Chen Bangdao, but instead said to Xu Zhenghua, "Do you have anything to do this afternoon? Go to my place to unpack the box?"

   I really miss it!

   They should have just returned from Qiongnan and Xinqiongzhou for a day. It seems that this trip is not very tiring.

   But Xu Zhenghua pulled the curtains of Liu Ju's office window, glanced down, and pointed to Du Xuelan, "Look, look, do you want to have an affair with me? Watching a movie at this time?"

  Chen Bangdao couldn't help laughing.

  Du Xuelan pursed her lips in disappointment.

   She and An Xiaojing are both very popular, and they both just came back from a publicity campaign outside. They are hot and tight, and each has a large group of paparazzi behind them as their tails. It's alright, the two groups are meeting downstairs.

   When he came up just now, Xu Zhenghua rushed in with great strides. There were already quite a few paparazzi at that time. Later, after waiting in He Jianliang's office, he also looked down from the window like this, and there were more people.

   And it feels like the two sides are still chatting very hot, it seems that they are exchanging experiences!

   But now the people have become a lot less.

So Xu Zhenghua instructed her, "You go, you go first, An Xiaojing takes her group away, and you take your group away! Hurry up... I promise, I'll put on my night clothes when I look back, and in the middle of the night. At the third watch, fly to your house and accompany you to unpack your package!"

  Du Xuelan's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and pointed at him, "You said it! Night clothes!"

"Uh……"

  I just describe it, describe the feeling of that night diving into a boudoir!

   Is this also true?
