026 Seeds

"It's getting late."

In the pure white negotiation room, there was almost nothing except the tables and chairs. Wade was still sitting in that position, looking at the two people in front of him with a blank expression.

In front of him, Hu Congming and Qiao Qiao were quickly flipping through the contract. Qianjin Entertainment's contract was very long and thin, with dozens of pages of paper and a small font size.

Just as Jojo was about to say something, Wade raised his hand and said, "I will ask again after reading it, I can't change a word."

Qiao Qiao had to swallow the words again, and this feeling was very bad.

Hu Congming has already picked out the most critical pages and showed them to Qiao Qiao: "The important ones are these... the contract period is ten years, the default fee is 15 million, and I don't understand this part very much."

Qiao Qiao glanced and said quickly: "This is a dynamic agreement. When the annual net profit we create is less than 1 million, we will pay our salary at the standard of 7,000 yuan per month, and bonuses will be paid according to the company system; when the net profit exceeds 1 million and less than 10 million, we will share the share; after more than 10 million, we will pay 55%."

"Okay, Lao Si, my mind is so clear at this time!" Hu Congming rubbed his hands excitedly, "No matter how you look at it, it's much better than Lu Jian."

"No... there is a key point inside."

Qiao Qiao himself did not realize that the seeds planted by Lu Jian in his head had taken root and sprouted.

He pointed to the three words of net profit and asked: "Mr. Wei, how is the net profit calculated?"

Wade made a page-turning gesture: "Penocide page, appendix."

Qiao Qiao quickly looked over and saw the explanation of net profit.

[Net profit: the artist's total income, the remaining part after minus the operating costs and taxes.]

"It's reasonable." Hu Congming had already picked up the pen, "The company spent money to hold a concert, and when calculating profits, it always had to pay off the cost."

"Well..." Qiao Qiao asked with her chin on her back, "Mr. Wei, for example, we joined the company and the company asked the teacher to train us. Is this a cost?"

Wade nodded.

"How do you calculate this cost?"

"I can't explain it clearly if there is a special department in charge."

"Will this cost be accumulated? For example, I didn't have a penny profit in the first year, but I used the company's training cost of 1 million yuan. Will these costs continue to accumulate year by year?"

Wade narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

Qiao Qiao's expression darkened and looked at Hu Congming.

Hu Congming's expression was very entangled: "It's okay... After all, Qianjin Entertainment has so many successful artists."

"Their contracts should be different." Jojo looked at Wade with some caution, "Right?"

Wade didn't agree and just asked, "Who taught you?"

"It's Lu Jian." Hu Congming scratched his head anxiously, "Fourth brother, don't listen to Lu Jian. This is a detrimental move he made, just don't want us to have fun."

Qiao Qiao murmured: "Everything that Brother Jian said really happened."

"Do you believe him or me!" Hu Congming said with some anger.

"This..." Qiao Qiao's reason just picked up was diluted by affection. "Boss, I just think that it's all right to think about it more. For example, the net profit here is bottomless. The decision on 'calculating cost' is in the hands of the company. They can play around with it. Maybe we will have no profit after ten years."

"It will be changed." Wade pointed at the contract gently, "If you upgrade, you will be changed."

Hu Congming's expression lit up: "Upgrade? Mr. Wei is talking about the level given by the entertainment evaluation department, right?"

Wade nodded: "You are not yet in the market, so you can only sign this. You must first prove your own strength."

Hu Congming then pulled Qiao Qiao and said, "So, the fourth brother, they are all standardized contracts, and the superstars are also here. After all, we are not famous, so we have to take our time. Moreover, Mr. Wei has promised that he can change the contract after he becomes popular in the future."

"But...if the promise is useful, why do you need a contract?" Qiao Qiao unconsciously expressed Lu Jian's advice again.

"Fuck, you were brainwashed by Lu Jian, Damn!"

"That person is right." Wade nodded and pointed at the contract, "A good contract depends on strength, and now this is the only one."

Qiao Qiao became increasingly entangled. He had no resistance to Wade himself, but the complicated terms in front of him seemed to be traps carefully prepared for him. At the end of these traps, one was a bait called "Big Red and Big Purple".

"I had a date half an hour ago and I was already late." Wade raised his arm and looked at his watch, "You guys have three minutes left."

Hu Congming suddenly became anxious. The opportunity to become famous and rich is right in front of him. If there are not, it’s right to sign it first. Anyway, the 7,000 yuan guaranteed. Will you talk about the future?

He looked at Qiao Qiao anxiously: "Fourth, Mr. Wei's time is precious, let's hurry up."

Qiao Qiao said in a little entangled manner: "Ten years have been too long..."

"Mr. Wei said it, and he can't change a word. After all, this is Qianjin Entertainment, a big company, so you have to trust him."

"But ten years is still too long..." Qiao Qiao looked up and asked, "Is it okay for three years?"

Wade frowned slightly.

Hu Congming realized that the ace producer must be the one who said it: "Oh, the fourth brother..."

But Wade actually spoke: "Seven years."

Hu Congming looked at Wade with his chin hanging, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

If the others from Qianjin Entertainment were here, they would be stunned. This may be the first time Wade gave in.

Qiao Qiao ignored these things and just clenched her fist and said, "Four years."

"Seven years, this is the bottom line, I will give it to you directly." Wade shook his head very slowly, "I won't say a word again, you still have two minutes."

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, thank you!" Hu Congming pulled Qiao Qiao excitedly, "Okay, stop the fourth brother when you see it's okay!"

Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth and looked at Wade, knowing that this guy would never let go.

He hates the feeling he is now, very annoying, but there is no doubt that this is the feeling of society.

I have been in it for a long time, but now I realize it.

This is completely different from the curiosity and love of rock. Everything in front of you is completely cold, realistic.

He was very resistant to these things, but he had to continue to grit his teeth and look through the contract: "There is also here, here we say we have to accept the company's arrangements, create, perform, accept advertisements, etc..."

He said, looking up again, looking at Wade: "Are you going to accept any arrangement? Even if you break up the band?"

Hu Congming felt cold in his heart and said nothing.

Wade just raised his hand and made a gesture of picking things, pulling it from the left side of his mouth and along the lip line to the right, just like pulling a lock.
