《Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant》Cooperation
Advertisement
After washing his face, brushing his teeth, eating the meal, and then playing a game, he had been tempered until 10:00 in the morning. Only then did Zhang Xiaohua drive to the company.
Zhang Xiaohua knew that the only companies with ability to distribute were big companies, while HuaXiang Entertainment was still only a new name. No matter whether it was in finances or connections, they were not comparable to those big companies.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua could only go for the Plan B, striving to drive a hard bargain. At least that would let the big companies coming for negotiations realise that although they were just a small company, they wouldn't be taken advantage of.
In addition, the big companies were the ones who came asking for cooperation instead of the other way around, this gave them the initiative to jack up the price. At the same time,releasing the song for free would pass the impression that they didn’t lack money, which created a ‘you need me, but I don't need you’ situation. As long as the big companies misunderstood it for that, they would lose control of the negotiations.
...............
Opening the door and getting out his car, Zhang Xiaohua walked slowly into the company.
The studio was already full of people.
In addition to Yuan Datong, Emma and the rest, the others were divided into five areas of the room. Among them, four men in high-class suits all carrying superior temperament, seemed to have divided the room into sections claiming that areas as their own.
The last guy was a young man quietly squating in the corner, holding an old-fashioned bag in his hand. He looked to be 25 or 26 years old. Although he was in a suit, it was clearly of lower standard compared to the others, he looked extremely embarrassed. At the same time, his temperament gave away his lack of confidence in himself, especially when compared with the rest of the people around.
Zhang Xiaohua knew at a glance that the five people should be the representatives sent by the five record companies.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua coming, Yuan Datong hurriedly greeted him and whispered: "Big bro, this is what we have been waiting for over the last few days. How could you only arrive now? Do you know that these people were all sent by famous record companies? But you actually let them wait for more than two hours?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "They are still here aren't they? Why didn't they go two hours ago?"
"..."
Yuan Datong was speechless, but then he changed his mind, he felt that Zhang Xiaohua was right.

Zhang Xiaohua was late, but since the people from these large companies had chosen to wait, it means that this cooperation was of vital importance to them. Otherwise, based on the identity of these people, they would have been angry enough to slam the door and leave. Yet they were holding back their temper for more than two hours, what did that mean?
Wow, this kid really did have insight!
Seeing the touch of laughter on Yuan Datong's face, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help smiling.
At the same time, after Zhang Xiaohua's enlightenment, Yuan Datong was obviously more confident. Even with his head held high and straight, he and Zhang Xiaohua walked to the representatives of the big companies. They both solemnly introduced themselves : "I am sorry to let you wait for a long time. The person beside me is the head of our company, Zhang Xiaohua. As for the cooperation, we will be responsible for talking to you."
At the end of his speech, Yuan Datong once again explained to Zhang Xiaohua: "This is the representative of Rock Records. He is the representative of Huasheng Records. He is the representative of Universal Records."
Introduced up to here, Yuan Datong pointed his finger at the young man who had been hanging around in the back: "That is the representative of Sparrow Records, and he is also the owner of Sparrow Records!"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled at the young man and took the lead to say hello to him. However, he deliberately ignored the presence of other company representatives.
Although he hadn't heard of 'Sparrow Records', he didn't mind it, since the owner personally came to the place, it showed that those people attached importance to this cooperation, unlike the other companies, who only sent a representative, showing less sincerity.
"These are..." When the final group of people was introduced, Yuan Datong's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and it seemed to be difficult to say.
When Yuan Datong was silent, a middle-aged man actively extended a friendly hand to Zhang Xiaohua and smiled and said: "Xiao Hua, long time no see. I did not expect this company was originally opened by you, didn't think that we would one a day cooperate."
Zhang Xiaohua was overwhelmed with curiosity, and his eyes were full of doubts. He constantly walked and looked at the middle-aged man. However, no matter how he looked, he had no impression of him.
Why did this guy talk like they knew each other, it looked like he was just chatting breeze, long time no see my ass, rather you went to see a doctor you dog piss of example of a human.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled endlessly, it seemed like he had memory problems.
"Do I even know who you are?" he said with a teasing smile.
The middle-aged man’s expression gradually became an embarrassed smile, he could only stand speechless with his hand stretched out to Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua tried thinking of the identity of the person in front of him, while maintaining an air of casualness.
If this guy was a relative of his family, wouldn't he be embarrassed to hell then?
But seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was clueless, Wang Jingwen suddenly stepped forward and made the introduction: "Boss, this is Manager Xu of New Century Entertainment. This New Century Entertainment also has the intention to cooperate with us. The conditions are also very generous. Boss, this is a rare opportunity!"
Zhang Xiaohua breathed deeply and gave Wang Jingwen a grateful look. He thought it was fortunate that she introduced them, otherwise they would both probably have to stand there in awkward silence.
However, even if he knew the other person's identity, Zhang Xiaohua wouldn't look well upon the other person. No, it should be said that he was going to target this manager Xu, as well as the whole of New Century Entertainment, and the current helm of New Century Entertainment, which was the Cao family.
Although Zhang Xiaohua also held shares in New Century Entertainment, in his eyes, Cao Dequan was his ultimate enemy.
Now that they came running up wanting to cooperate, he would naturally refuse.
Therefore, he also did not need to discuss with this manager Xu.
"Manager Xu is it? Hehe..." Zhang Xiaohua immediately spoke to the manager, although his laugh was very unnatural, but Xu seeing him laugh also quickly broke into laughter to match him.
Unexpectedly, while Manager Xu's smile was beginning to appear, Zhang Xiaohua's face sank in vain. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he decisively dropped the following words: "Emma, help me send this visitor out."
The audience was shocked!
Both the representatives of Rock Records, Huasheng Records and Universal Records, were all stunned. In their view, the New Century Entertainment seemed to have gained a lead in the negotiations, after all they seemed to have a connection with Zhang Xiaohua and even Wang Jingwen spoke up for them, the people of the three major companies were already feeling downcast before as if they had already failed, but the reversal could only be called godly.
Although the five companies were all well known companies, namely Rock Records, Huasheng Records, and Universal, and were at the forefront as the most famous record companies in Asia, they couldn't compare to New Century Entertainment in Huaxia, who had taken over most of the market share in the country.
Today, however, the New Century, known as the giant in the entertainment industry in Huaxia, was actually ignored by the owner of this small company. There was no room for even a little negotiation. The representatives of the three major companies were surprised and worried. Having panicked thoughts: even the New Century with such strength wasn't even the in the eyes of this boss, then what about their own companies, ah!
"Xiao Hua, let's talk about this. You can't let me go so empty-handed. Let's talk about New Century Entertainment. All your dad's hard work, you are still a shareholder of the company." Manager Xu sweated and pleaded in a hurry. This was a task that the company's top executives handed over to him. If he didn't have any results to show for it, his job would be at risk, how was he meant to explain he got kicked out as soon as he introduced himself.
However, in Zhang Xiaohua's view, this also revealed a problem, indicating that New Century had already reached the point of 'seeking the best', even though they controlled most of Huaxia entertainment industry they still weren't negligent or Cao Dequan wouldn't not send someone to request cooperation with a small company.
"Go back and tell Cao Dequan to prepare my dividend for this month's shareholders. I will go fetch it when I have time. In addition, today is not your fault, it’s just that I'm not willing to cooperate with Cao Dequan. If you really want to talk, you can ask Cao Dequan to come here and talk to me in person. By the way, tell him it was me who sent this message." Zhang Xiaohua said, afterwards he turned to Emma and urged her: "What are you doing not sending this guest out? "
"Oh." Emma hurriedly responded, and swiftly went to the front of Xu. In order to cooperate with Zhang Xiaohua, Emma also did not give him a good look, and said indifferently: "Sir, this way, please."
Manager Xu shook his head helplessly, although he was unwilling, but since Zhang Xiaohua spoke already, it wouldn't be beneficial to stay any longer.
