《Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant》Sabotage
Advertisement
There were now only two companies left, Universal and Sparrow. However, everyone still ignored the representative of Sparrow Company, instead placing their hopes on Universal Music.
In terms of strength, Universal Records wouldn't lose out to Rock Records and Huasheng, they were even slightly better than these two companies in the international arena, after all, they were subsidiaries of the Universal Group. It was one of the music companies that many domestic and foreign singers dreamed of joining.
The middle-aged man representing Universal, tightened his tie and made his way over to Zhang Xiaohua.
Without a competitor, the representative of Universal Corporation had a lot of self-confidence and seemed to have a good grasp of the game.
"I'm the personnel manager of Universal Music. You can call me manager Li." Manager Li introduced himself proudly and then handed Zhang Xiaohua a business card.
"Human Resources Department?" Zhang Xiaohua wondered. When companies send out representatives, it's typically people from the Business Department. Why was a Human Resources Manager doing this job? Was the company short on people?
Throwing the business card on the table, Zhang Xiaohua cut directly to the main subject: "Manager Li must have seen and heard the previous negotiations. So if your company has the same conditions as the first two, then let's not waste anymore time. "
"Oh." Manager Li smiled, and then stretched out his hand, putting up five fingers: "We will buy it now, for five million! "
"Wow!"
Yuan Datong and Emma opened their mouths at once. Although they did not understand what the other person meant, it was enough to make them surprised by the number of 5 million. For them, this was already astronomical and the temptation was there.
However, Manager Li, felt that he had created a price that no one could refuse. No matter what the 5 million were used for, there was a high chance that it would not be rejected. Especially since he was offering such a price to a small humble company.
Manager Li confidently said, "Honestly, our company has taken a fancy to Miss Wang Jingwen, so we hope that she could be transferred to our company. In addition, we want to acquire the copyright of all the songs of your company and we will give your company the corresponding compensation. The 5 million is exactly the loss and copyright fee that we will give to your company."

After she heard this, Wang Jingwen was thrilled and felt that if this agreement were to set up, she would be ‘the person’ of Universal Corporation. Under the packaging and promotion of Universal Corporation, she could turn into a superstar of the Heavenly Queen level. It would be better than remaining within a broken company, at least.
Zhang Xiaohua showed a face of indifference.
It was no wonder that the Human Resources manager was used as the messenger. It turned out that they weren't looking for cooperation, but to buy their singer.
To try to steal his singer for only 5 million RMB? Now that was just a pipe dream. He could give Wang Jingwen a live concert in the future and that alone would earn over 5 million.
It was such a stupid and naive strategy and they still dared claim to be one of the best companies in the industry, with such thinking? Did they take him for an idiot!
"Emma, please send them off."
Zhang Xiaohua resolutely threw out a sentence, it looked like this sentence had become his slogan for today.
When he spoke, everyone was furious...
Yuan Datong had lost his temper as this kid was not only putting his future in danger but also the rest of the team’s future was at risk. Those were people who had joined the company because of their trust in him, he could no longer bear Zhang Xiaohua's attitude and choices!
"Send them out, your face!" Yuan Datong was extremely pissed, he grabbed the slipper from his foot and in one go, launched it towards Zhang Xiaohua.
Emma quickly rushed forward to stop him from launching the other one.
After barely ducking, Zhang Xiaohua spoke in a bitter tone: "Didn't you say I was the boss of this company? You act like this in front of outsiders? Do you even respect me at all?"
"Respect my ass!"
"Emma let me go, I must thrash this kid, until he learns a lesson" Yuan Datong had gone crazy, his face was full of bulging blue veins, and in his hands was the remaining plastic slipper.

"Boss, what do you expect in the end? You didn't sign with Rock Records, you don't sign Huasheng, and now people are bidding 5 million and you are still looking down on them. This is our futures and not just a joke for you to enjoy. I really can't support you on this one!" Xiaohai complained with a depressed look. The others also nodded in agreement showing strong disappointment and dissatisfaction with Zhang Xiaohua!
In particular, Wang Jingwen, she had hoped that Yuan Datong would break past Emma and slap Zhang Xiaohua with his slipper. It was so he would awaken from his delusions and accept the offer, so she could bail ship and join Universal.
Zhang Xiaohua shook his head helplessly. Seeing this situation, it seemed that if he didn't give an explanation today, all the trust they had built for him would be destroyed. Plus, that 'big headed' guy wouldn't easily let him escape without a few hits.
"In two months time, I promise that everyone could earn at least one million. If I fail, then my name isn't Zhang Xiaohua. Plus, I will personally get you each a slipper and take all punishments." Zhang Xiaohua suddenly opened his eyes and was serious. The words were strong and the attitude sincere.
As soon as he made his remarks, Yuan Datong felt that he wasn't lying so he nodded his head reluctantly.
The others were naturally more sceptical, but seeing Yuan Datong calm down, they nodded in agreement as well.
Manager Li eyes were enlarged and he looked at Zhang Xiaohua with disbelief. He evidently hadn't believed what Zhang Xiaohua said and he was also shocked by the others who had seemed to accept his words as truth.
Manager Li counted. This company had a total of eight people. Excluding Zhang Xiaohua, there were seven people under his command. In other words, he had to earn at least 7 million within two months.
Seven million RMB in two months? Even big companies like Universal Records were unable to guarantee that. This small company was just starting out and dared to claim to be able to?
Even though this company had Wang Jingwen, if he wanted to earn seven million in two months, with just relying on her strength alone, it was equivalent to dreaming.
After a brief silence, Yuan Datong put away the slipper and immediately looked up to Zhang Xiaohua with no good feeling.
Not until a moment later did he say: "OK, I'll trust you once more... But remember that this is people's lives you are playing with, these people I consider as my family and if you fail... Then there is no need to find me again."
When Emma heard this, she was deeply moved, and tears rushed down her face like a burst dam, leaving deep marks on her smooth pink cheeks.
Xiaohai and the rest could not help but shed tears as well as they looked towards Yuan Datong with appreciation. They all seemed to want to say something to him.
This was why they regarded Yuan Datong as the 'big brother'. Yuan Datong was such a person. He would rather go hungry than let his brothers go hungry. He was the type that stuck with you through thick and thin, and would in a heartbeat sacrifice everything to help his brothers.
Zhang Xiaohua knew what type of person Yuan Datong was.
In Zhang Xiaohua's eyes, Yuan Datong's ten centimetre long scar across his chest was enough to explain everything.
What can anyone say to a friend who was willing to sacrifice his life to save your own?
As he looked at where the wound was on Yuan Datong's chest, Zhang Xiaohua spoke: "If I fail, then I'm truly not worthy to be your brother."
