《Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant》Last Option

Yuan Datong did not say anything, but once again chose to believe in Zhang Xiaohua, so he nodded to Emma and motioned for her to act according to Zhang Xiaohua's instructions.
Emma wiped her wet eyes, since Yuan Datong chose to believe Zhang Xiaohua, she would also follow. Not to mention Xiaohai, everyone had the same thought 'since big brother was on board, what else can we say?'
At present the only one who still felt anger in her heart was Wang Jingwen.
There was no wonder.
The conditions offered by the three major companies were great, each one being better than the previous one. Any of these company could easily make Wang Jingwen an international star. However, Zhang Xiaohua once again strangled her great opportunity. For this reason, she had started to develop a deep hatred for Zhang Xiaohua.
Today, Wang Jingwen realised that she was nothing but a vase, a decoration of this small company, someone who was only used to be the face of their songs and had no other use. She had near to absolutely no power within the company. While others had rejected, insulted and attacked Zhang Xiaohua, they got away scott free and she was told to 'shut up' for voicing her opinions.
Wang Jingwen scowled at Zhang Xiaohua with an eye full of hatred. She couldn't help but grip her hands into a pair of fists, and at the same time she secretly determined that once she had the opportunity, she would leave this company!
At this time, Emma was already in front of Manager Li, politely she requested: "Manager Li, if you would please follow me, I'll send you out."
Manager Li was completely silent. These people were infuriated a minute ago, how could they be so calm now?
Surely they couldn't really believe that this boss had the ability to earn 7 million RMB for them within just two months?
It seemed that these people were still too young and naive!
A business wouldn't be successful just cause you had trust and loyalty. If there were no large groups backing them, even if they could write good quality songs, they wouldn't be able to do much with them.
Disappointed, Manager Li left, being led by Emma.
When the representative of Universal Corporation exited the building, all of a sudden they felt that the previously crowded room felt eerily more spacious.
The only company left was Sparrow Records company's representative, but no one was optimistic about this.
Large companies like Rock Records, Huasheng, and Universal couldn't even enter the eye of Zhang Xiaohua. How can a small company with no fame and little to no status be able to enter his eyes.
Emma, instead of awaiting Zhang Xiaohua's instructions, spoke directly to the Sparrow's representative: "Sir, please follow me if you would, I'll lead you out."
The representative of Sparrow Records was completely red in the face, he nodded amiably and didn't speak. He actually turned to go, showing no desire to discuss terms.
Perhaps this person already had self-knowledge, even the three leading companies, were not seen by this small business. What's the face of the small company behind him? Negotiation?

Instead of disgracing himself, it was better to withdraw early.
When the representative of Sparrow Records was about to exit the studio, the voice of Zhang Xiaohua suddenly sounded: "Brother, since you called all the way here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Come, let us talk about cooperation."
For a time, everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Xiaohua and couldn't help but swear in their minds!
Looking back at Zhang Xiaohua, they were puzzled. When those three major record labels took the initiative to give him such a good offer, he had refused. Now, he had taken the initiative to request cooperation with this Sparrow Records?
"What kind of game is this kid playing?" Yuan Datong was full of doubts, he wasn't sure whether he should laugh or cry. However, since Zhang Xiaohua had made a promise and said that he would bring a lot of profit to the company within two months, Yuan Datong stayed silent and continued to watch.
After he had heard Zhang Xiaohua's words, the representative suddenly paused and after thinking for a moment, he slowly turned around and said in a weak voice, "Are you talking to me?"
Zhang Xiaohua licked his lips: "I'm so eager to work with you but you are rushing to leave. Do you look down on our company? Or is it that you don't want to cooperate with our company?"
Although it was a joke, the representative of Sparrow Records was panic-stricken. He completely regarded Zhang Xiaohua as a powerful boss: "Please don't misunderstand Boss Zhang. I didn't mean that. It's just that your company's requirements are too high and your lowest requirement already exceeds the bottom line of our company. I just don't want to waste Boss Zhang's precious time, lest your company loses money!"
"Oh, haha, haha..." Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "If you really wanted to go, would you have waited until now? You see, at the moment, the people in the three big companies are gone, but you stayed. Which means you're the right partner for us. I'm very confident and well, we're all peers here, so you don't have to be so polite. Oh yes, I still don't know your name?"
"Oh, Boss Zhang, you can call me Zhou Yi."
Zhou Yi took a business card from his bag and handed it to him, with both hands.
"The Chairman and Business Director of Sparrow Records, the company's business scope included record production, record distribution, outlet sales and video recording..." Looking at the row of small characters on the business card, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised in his heart, but his face was as cool as a cucumber.
He asked: "I wonder if Chairman Zhou can describe what your company's size is like? How many pieces of record can be produced per month? Is there any distribution right? Where are the sales outlets distributed? As for the staff, Is there a clear division of labour?"
Speaking of the company's issues, Zhou Yi was not ambiguous and reported with ease: "Without boasting, our company's registered capital has reached 500,000 yuan, and we have all the rights to distribute audio and video. However, because of the equipment, our company can produce only 300,000 pieces of records per month.The sales outlets are distributed in some small-scale shopping malls and a few audio and video stores. Our company has a clear division of labour and has dedicated staff responsible for different areas. For example, video recording and post-production, production of records and sales outlets, all of which have special management."

Perhaps it was the relationship between two similar creatures, looking at Zhou Yi, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have seen the previous him in this kid, for a time it brought back a lot of bittersweet memories for him.
"If I'm not mistaken, are your company's colleagues university classmates? Since you couldn't find jobs after graduation, you came together and set up a new company in partnership, not aiming to seek wealth but to seek warmth?" Zhang Xiaohua suddenly spoke up and asked a question that had nothing to do with business.
Zhou Yi lost his voice, it seemed what Zhang Xiaohua said was right.
Indeed, Zhou Yi was a college student who could not find a job after graduation. He contacted a few university friends with the same fate and they had invested in a record company to try their luck and although it wasn't anything spectacular, they had done well for themselves.
Zhou Yi didn't understand how this Zhang Xiaohua, who was obviously around the same age as himself, was so different. He seemed to have experienced many things and he was not only mature and calm in the face of everything, but also had such a unique temperament. This attitude to life was seemingly out of tune with his age. However, he felt that, if he could start a partnership with him, the future would not be too bad!
"I dare to ask Boss Zhang, how did you know the situation at the company?" Zhou Yi could not help but ask out of curiosity.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and laughed without saying anything, it was slightly bitter as all his memories of his previous life had came back at him:
'I remember back in the last life, I worked my ass of just to get by. I had to do three to four jobs every day just to earn enough to sustain myself, while I pursued my dream to become a singer on the side. All that and I died on the day of auditions, right before my chance at fame, life really was cruel.'
Without strength, you could only rely on others to succeed and be forced to watch as others enjoyed their life, while you struggled to survive.
Zhang Xiaohua naturally understood Zhou Yi very well. If he were to go out and run a business, in his previous life, would he be just as timid?
Regardless of the world, wealth always flowed in the hands of the powerful - This was the natural law of society.
Now that he had the ability to help those like him in his previous life, why not help them?
Plus, the company had a lot of things that would require the help of others and in according with their own plans, in order to develop the company and truly become a powerful force to be reckoned with, they would need to cooperate with a company like Sparrow Records. Then they could slowly take over and incorporate them into their company. This would allow them to quickly create their own industrial chain, before other companies started to suppress them, as then it would be too late.
Otherwise, in the future, they would have to keep relying on the big record labels to sell their records for them and they would only be able to watch the faces of those big companies forever, never being able to reach the same level. All though those companies might be smiling on the surface, they would naturally have their own agendas and schemes below the surface. How could they allow their money tree to rise up and threaten them? They would be suppressed immediately in order to force them to keep reliant on them. Then what would be the difference between this and his previous life?
Instead of working for others, it would be better to be the main boss and take charge of the situation, to control others and the rules at all times!
Zhang Xiaohua looked up at Zhou Yi and went straight to the point: "I can sign a contract with you on behalf of HuaXiang Entertainment at any time, but I have a few small conditions."
When Zhang Xiaohua made his remarks, Yuan Datong and co suddenly became paralysed.
This kid refused to cooperate with those big companies, who had taken the initiative to come to them, but he decided to cooperate with a small company, which barely had any strength. His thinking really was far beyond normal people's understanding.
While everyone was completely at a loss, Zhou Yi was overjoyed and quickly responded: "May I know what conditions Boss Zhang has? Our company will try its best to meet your needs."
"I only have three conditions:
First, I want to be the director of all music videos. You only need to provide the technical staff and necessary equipment, and also be responsible for the post-production.
Second, I ask that you produce 300,000 records within half a month, instead of once a month. The unit price of the records is determined by us and then distributed through your sales outlets. As for the deposit, we can use the copyright of the song as a mortgage.
Third, all the proceeds must be allocated in accordance with a seven to three ratio. We take seven, and you take three. If Mr. Zhou has no objections, I can print the contract right now."
Zhang Xiaohua had represented HuaXiang Entertainment and he had presented all his conditions to the other party.
Now, it was just a matter of 'Yes or No' from the other party.

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii
