National Tide 1980

"Oh, as expected of President Ning, your analysis is succinct. Forgive me for being stupid. I am really inexperienced in this kind of thing, so I asked such a stupid question. If it hadn't been for your answer, I wouldn't have done it anyway. You will understand the mystery of it. Ashamed, really ashamed..."

Ning Weimin's explanation made Zhoumumin convinced and satisfied, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

As for Ning Weimin, of course he would not be as knowledgeable as him.

Since the problem is clearly explained, that’s all.

Instead, he took the initiative to hand over the menu and asked Minoru Funaki, who had not yet ordered anything, to order.

He also enthusiastically changed the topic by introducing food, and made all the unhappiness over by understatement.

His generosity could be felt by Minoru Funaki, so after ordering fried noodles and fried dumplings, he changed his words to praise Chinese food and palace cuisine, in order to give Ning Weimin a high hat.

As a president, he is really a small fish in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Because in addition to its singers, Taurus Records also has female movie star Toju Yukiyo, actor Wata Tetsuya and others joining the company, but when it comes to who can make the most money for the company, Teresa Teng is undoubtedly the leader.

More than half of the total revenue of the entire Taurus Record Company comes from the sales of Teresa Teng's art works, which means that it relies entirely on Teresa Teng as a pillar to survive.

Apart from this, there are no other outstanding artists under Taurus Palace, so it is inevitable that they need to look for help from everywhere, and they cannot help but take this award very seriously.

Therefore, it is commonplace to have a low profile. Now that Teresa Teng's career has been taken a step further by the care of a wealthy businessman like Ning Weimin, Minoru Funaki feels that she is extremely lucky.

To him, no matter what kind of gratitude it is, it is all due, and it is absolutely true and deeply touched.

It was a coincidence that at this moment, the waiter brought over the snacks that Teresa Teng had ordered first.

The bowl of rock sugar bird's nest that Ning Weimin asked for for Teresa Teng was also among them.

Teresa Teng saw the waiter put the delicious food on the table, but she immediately became excited and was not polite to others at all. She couldn't wait to taste it.

To be honest, Miss Teresa's passion for food is no worse than her passion for singing.

Teresa Teng on stage is very fashionable.

Teresa Teng at the dinner table, serving food.

However, there were other priorities. Since there were bird's nests, the spring rolls and wontons she ordered were a bit unpopular.

"Ah, this is a bird's nest. I have never eaten a bird's nest in my life."

In full view of everyone, Teresa Teng picked up the small bowl made of bright yellow porcelain and didn't let anyone let her go. She raised it to her mouth and ate it all in her excitement, praising her as she ate.

"Well, the bird's nest is cold. Even though it's a dessert, it's not greasy at all. I can't describe the taste. It's really delicious."

Her words were like those of an unprofessional gourmet. Although they were a bit exaggerated, judging from her expression, the happiness that could be squeezed into her heart did not seem to be fake.

This made Ning Weimin a little surprised and a little unbelievable, "How come you haven't eaten it before?"

The majestic Asian singer has been popular for so many years, but she has never eaten bird's nest! Who believes it?

What's more, in his memory, Ning Weimin seemed to remember that among Teresa Teng's ex-boyfriends, one of them seemed to be the young boss of the Shangri-La Group.

The Guo family is one of the most wealthy businessmen in Malaysia, and Malaysia is also one of the famous producing areas of bird’s nests.

When we first started dating, even if he wanted to please his girlfriend, this little girl from the Guo family should have prepared some nourishing bird's nests for her to replenish her skin, right?

Just like now, every time Matsumoto Keiko comes to have a meal, it's because of Ning Weimin who tells her in advance.

Even if he is not present, his subordinates will know that they should serve such a small bowl to please the big star.

For people whose wealth base has reached a small goal, this is the minimum operation and not a luxury.

Moreover, many female celebrities in Hong Kong and Taiwan have the habit of eating bird's nest for a long time.

"Really not. I am a child from a poor family. When I first started singing on stage at home, my income from singing had to help my parents support a large family. I couldn't afford it at that time. Later I finally became famous and the money I earned I can afford to eat more, but I don’t have much time to eat properly. I always eat under the stage of the restaurant where I sing as soon as I finish singing. Even though they are very famous restaurants, I will also deliberately sit down with a box of barbecued pork buns. I feasted off the stage just to feast on the little sisters who were still singing on the stage. But after all, it was not a banquet, and there would never be any expensive dishes. They were all things that were easy to fill up. It was just fried rice noodles and noodles. How come it’s always abalone, ginseng, and belly?”

However, what is even more unexpected is that Teresa Teng actually went through all kinds of hardships, but the reasons are convincing.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, I started to like eating expensive things after I came to Japan. As the number of invitations to appear on famous TV programs increased, my songs became best-sellers, and the awards from the company became more and more generous. In Before that, roadside food stalls and even small dirty stalls were what I ate most. Oh, by the way, I once had a friend who knew the bird's nest king in Malaysia and once gave me a big bag of bird's nests. It's just that I was very busy at the time and couldn't take care of food and didn't know how to cook, so I sent it to my parents' house and kept it in the room where clutter was stored. As a result, my brothers shook it to the ground when they were looking for things last year, and used I stepped on them and turned them into powder. It was all ruined. If I had known it smelled like this, huh, I would not have forgiven them so easily..."

That's right, listening to Teresa Teng's words, the friend mentioned should be the young master of the Guo family.

Ning Weimin finally understood what was going on.

But the more this happened, the more complicated his mood became, thinking that Teresa Teng had the guts to refuse the conditions of the old lady of the Guo family and give up the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family in order to preserve her self-esteem.

At this time, Ning Weimin looked at this Asian singer who had never even eaten bird's nest and died in her forties. Ning Weimin felt both admiration and admiration, mixed with unspeakable sadness.

So he turned around and called the waiter again, asking someone to bring Miss Deng another bowl of bird's nest immediately.

But he didn't expect that this time, his enthusiasm and good intentions would hit a snag. Teresa Teng, who was enjoying the delicious food, immediately shouted stop.

"No, no, that's enough for me, thank you."

She waved her hand and lowered her wrist.

"What? Is this enough? It doesn't matter. Bird's nest is mild in nature, so eating a few more bowls won't hurt..."

"Nah."

Teresa Teng wiped the corners of her mouth, "I can't eat because I feel burdened. I want to ask some questions clearly first. Please answer me seriously, okay?"

If you are familiar with Teresa Teng, you will know that she has a rare serious attitude and is really getting down to business.

But Ning Weimin didn't know her well enough, so when he saw her slightly playful expression, he thought she was still being funny.

He said very easily, "No problem, please tell me."

As a result, she was careless and was unexpectedly attacked by Teresa Teng.

"I can't thank you enough for bringing me up to such a high level, but I don't know how I can repay you? What kind of repayment do you want me to give in return?"

"Ahem"...

Looking at Teresa Teng, Junning Weimin almost choked and waved hurriedly, "Hey, why did you bring it up here all of a sudden? And it's too early to say this. This matter hasn't been done yet. Wasn't it agreed upon at the beginning? ? Just leave everything to me, and when the matter is really done, I will speak to you. "

"However, at first I didn't expect that you would directly go to the people who were blocking me from winning the award, and actually succeed in canvassing votes. I originally thought that your kindness was limited to routine operations, so no matter whether things succeed or not, it's not a big deal for me. It would be just fine to help your restaurant with a few performances to attract business. But now that you have managed to get through the top leaders of the two organizers, things are really starting to take shape, and the cost for this must be a huge amount. According to my experience, the current record awards are all about money, money, money from beginning to end! It is definitely a big deal for you to create such a situation. I asked myself that there is nothing of equal value that I can give you in return, so I want to ask for a clear answer. A person like you who is good at making money can’t really engage in loss-making business, right?”

Don't really think that Teresa Teng looks sweet and has a clear and gentle singing voice. She is just a docile and good girl.

Bu Pupu came out to run around in the world at the age of thirteen, and was once the prospective daughter-in-law of the Malaysian Sugar King.

These few words were neither humble nor arrogant. Teresa Teng mastered the scale very well, and Ning Weimin was instantly impressed.

If Ning Weimin really had good intentions, then her move was aboveboard. She couldn't bear Ning Weimin's loss and asked him to put the exchange conditions on the table.

If Ning Weimin had any bad intentions, mentioning the vilification upfront like this was also a warning, reminding him that it was best to give up his unrealistic thoughts.

In short, she would not make Ning Weimin feel that his good intentions were betrayed, nor would she have any unrealistic expectations.

Seeing Minoru Funaki next to Teresa Teng raise his head, there was some unexplained speculation and wariness in his expression.

Even Akira Okamoto looked at him with eyes searching for the truth.

Ning Weimin has fully realized how shrewd and powerful this little woman is.

I know in my heart that this issue is not easy to deal with, otherwise it will definitely make people doubt my character.

There is no way, even if there is no time to make proper considerations, only by clarifying the general conditions quickly can both parties feel at ease and assured.

"Teresa, Teresa, you are really outspoken with your little temper. Well, in that case, I won't be polite. If this thing is done, there are some things I hope you can help as much as possible. For example Said, when the movie "Li Xianglan" is released, I hope you can also help support the platform and participate in publicity activities..."

"That's right, brothers have to settle their accounts..."

Teresa Teng smiled sweetly and didn't mind bargaining at all. "Yes, it's a small matter. I agreed. President Funaki will help me coordinate the time when the time comes. What else?"

Under her questioning, Ning Weimin thought for a while and then said.

"There are also some famous songs about you in Taurus Palace, as well as those songs that were popular back then. I want the copyright to cover and commercialize them in mainland China..."

Teresa Teng was still happy and did not consider Minoru Funaki's opinion at all.

"That's no problem, just make a list for me which song you like."

If not for anything else, just because in Japan and at Taurus Records, Teresa Teng is the undoubted queen, a god-like existence.

Not only does everyone respect her, she also has absolute control over her records, and even all employees are proud of her service.

However, even if Ning Weimin made such a request, Teresa Teng still did not rub sand in her eyes. She did not think this was enough.

"It's just that as far as I know, there is no such thing as copyright in mainland China. Even if I give you all my songs, you will still be at a disadvantage. Others just steal the songs and use them, and I can't sue them. . The authorization I gave you has almost no practical meaning to you. Do you have any other requirements?"

"There are more."

Ning Weimin pondered for a moment, "I hope that if one day your songs can be released in the mainland, or if you go to the mainland for commercial performances, then you can consider cooperating with me, or let me be the agent, at least Also let me be a middleman and take advantage of you..."

However, he did not expect that when these requests came out of his mouth, Teresa Teng would be so angry that she would jump to her feet.

It’s not that I dislike him for asking for too much, but I dislike that the demands he made are completely unreliable.

"Oh, you are so outrageous. This is all in the future. Not only is it difficult to determine the time schedule, but it is also hard to say whether such a thing will happen or whether it can be done. President Ning, even if I agree now, I will not tell you if I agree with you now. It doesn't make any sense for you to sign a contract. You should know how variable it is for me to perform in mainland China because of cross-strait relations. What do you want? Can you be more realistic and make a truly decent request..."

Well, luckily everyone is sitting down.

When they were standing chatting, she almost pinched Ning Weimin's waist, pointed at Ning Weimin's nose and said he was hypocritical or stupid.

Teresa Teng, who is so innocent and sharp, definitely refreshed Ning Weimin's cognition.

He could never imagine that the person in front of him would be the same person as the gentle, charming and sweet Miss Deng on stage.

But at the same time, I have to admit that she is really magnanimous and fair in dealing with things. She is worthy of being Northern Nier from her hometown in Hebei.

"Hey, don't worry. I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Seeing Minoru Funaki and Akira Okamoto casting suspicious glances at him again, Ning Weimin quickly explained.

"To be honest, these are really nothing. There is still something very important. I really hope you can help. It's just more personal and very troublesome, so it's a bit difficult to say. I also hope you won't refuse... "

When the clinker heard such vague semantics, the misunderstanding deepened.

Teresa Teng couldn't help showing an angry and funny look.

Just like when she received a love letter from a fan and was unexpectedly flirted with by a younger brother, she was so angry that she didn't know what to say and was a little speechless.

"You man, why are you...you...you have to be good."

That means you can be a human being, okay?

Just don't play tricks on my sister.

I don't want to give Ning Weimin any chance to have his wildest dreams.

As a result, the expressions of Minoru Funaki and Akira Okamoto became even more ugly, and both of them became expressionless wood-plastic clay tires.

At this time, no one dared to act rashly or interrupt at will.

However, Ning Weimin was wronged because he really didn't mean that.

On the contrary, he still wanted to keep his love and achieve a happy relationship with Keiko.

So before Teresa Teng said anything embarrassing again, he quickly declared, "No, don't misunderstand, this is actually simple. I just want to ask you to help me find someone on the treasure island across the strait. He is Si Nine years ago, my surname was Song. If he is still alive now, he should be almost 80 years old. This Mr. Song is my teacher’s teacher..." (End of Chapter)
