The car drove into a road restaurant, and Daniel Glass excused himself to go to the bathroom, giving Song Ya and Hayden a chance to talk alone. He was a standard white elite, wearing suits and ties, with tanned skin often tanned by the beach, with a well-proportioned figure and a well-behaved manner.

He was calm and winking. When he was in the car, Song Ya kept humming and haha ​​to deal with him and basically didn't answer any questions.

"What are you doing?"

The two of them sat in the carriage-style booth. Hayden pointed to the direction of the bathroom and said: "Last year, SBK was acquired by EMI. Do you know the specific amount? Three hundred million dollars! This is a big shot. You have no idea what a big opportunity is in front of you.

!Don’t be so mean!”

"FXXXYOU!" Song Ya usually seldom swears, but this time she was really anxious, "Did you hear something outside the door last time?! Really? Otherwise, you wouldn't think of bringing a big record company with you.

People come to me!"

"Yeah, that's right, I almost heard it all from outside the door."

Hayden readily admitted, "Pablo's opinion is right. We must bring in a big company to be responsible for distribution, otherwise Joe will mess things up. He doesn't understand the modern record industry at all."

"I don't care if he understands it or not! Wait, I think I need to explain it clearly to you."

Song Ya showed off to Hayden very seriously: "You are my agent and I am your employer. You cannot make your own decisions on some matters. At least you should ask for my opinion on the phone before bringing someone to see me!

If Lao Qiao knows that you brought a major record company to me, what will he think of me? He will think that I am cheating! Is that a matter of money? That is a matter of life! Haven't you seen this in Lao Qiao Music?

Those gang members?"

Hayden was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't think about it at all, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you..."

He clasped his hands together and said, "I still underestimated the... danger of Nancheng, but you have to understand that it is difficult for me to refuse Mr. Glass. I have more than just you as an artist. If I call you first and you disagree,

I can’t explain it to Mr. Glass in person..."

"never mind."

In fact, Song Ya deliberately exaggerated the seriousness to scare him, otherwise this manager might cause him some trouble in the future, "Your task now is to quickly get the song copyright and BMI membership for me, and the rest...

"

He saw Daniel Glass coming out of the bathroom and lowered his voice, "We'll talk about everything else later."

"What's the matter? Can I help?"

Daniel Glass sat down opposite Song Ya, "I came to APLUS with sincerity. Let's not talk about the album. I can make the decision to sign a singer contract with you first. It's up to you for two or three years. It's up to you whether to release it or not."

The film is up to you, as long as you sign it, we will pay you a salary, which of course is not much, about thirty to forty thousand dollars per year."

"Wow, this is so..." Hayden looked at Song Ya.

Song Ya glanced at him.

"Well, it's like this Mr. Glass..."

"Just call me Daniel."

"Okay, Daniel, my employer doesn't want to consider any business matters now. Before he..." Hayden looked at Song Ya: "Can I talk?"

Song Ya nodded.

"Before he gets the BMI membership." Hayden explained to Song Ya again, "The copyright will come down soon. I've already got it."

"BMI?" Daniel was a little surprised. He called the waiter over and motioned for the two of them to order something to eat first. "Their work efficiency has always been like that. If you go through the process, it will pass in about two or three months." He said to Song Ya.

: "You shouldn't face any resistance from joining the association based on the song "Secondhand Shop, right?"

"Probably not." Hayden answered for Song Ya, "But my employer is impatient."

"Are you impatient? Haha..."

After the two of them finished ordering, Daniel casually ordered a simple meal, took out another ten dollars, and asked the waiter to change it into coins, "APLUS, you grew up in a slum, right? How can you not be tempted by forty thousand dollars a year?"

, is not worried about the sales of Little Lowry's album, which is at stake. Isn't this a sign of impatience? You know, if his album sales fall to 100,000 copies, you can only get about 5,000 dollars in royalties."

"I'm used to being poor, and we poor people in Nancheng are naturally wary of people like you..." Song Ya pointed at Daniel, "We are naturally wary."

"I know, I know."

Daniel smiled. He took the food and coins from the waiter, walked to the jukebox in the corner of the restaurant, stuffed the coins in, selected the song, and returned to his seat, "Time is very precious for people like us.

So I will try hard to convince you as soon as possible."

'Yo!VIP!Ice ice baby...Ice ice baby...'

The jukebox is an old-fashioned one. The mechanical shelf picks out a vinyl record and slowly puts it on. Along with the very rhythmic music, a rap song plays.

"APLUS, do you know why I didn't choose a high-end restaurant to treat you to a big meal but chose a place like this? Because here is a jukebox, Vanilla Ice, a white man, our contracted singer, his album will not be released until the end of the year

It has just been released, but this single is already selling very well, and you can order it at any street store in Chicago."

Daniel said while eating, "Do you know what your boss, that old Joe, did wrong? He put his money on little Lori's useless album. I tried hard to listen to every song, but I'm sorry, except

Your Secondhand Store, I didn't do any of the other twelve songs. Do you know where Lowry's manager went wrong? He went to negotiate a deal with Warner. Oh my God, Warner Records with all the stars.

How many resources will be given to Lowry, a black guy from Chicago with mediocre talent..."

After Vanilla Ice's single was played, the clear girls' chorus rang out from the jukebox.

"Is this song familiar? Hold

on, the No. 1 single on the Billboard, the Wilson sisters and Phillips, three white girls, are also our signed singers. Their album is coming soon and will be released in June. Did you find anything? Yes, our SBK strategy

I always release singles first and then release albums after building momentum. This is exactly what you...APL

US's interests are completely aligned. For albums, you get one percent, for singles, you get one-tenth. As long as we can be responsible for the release of Lowry II's album, believe me, the other ten

After two songs, I will throw him into the trash can and put all my bets on the second-hand store song. I like second-hand stores, and I only want second-hand stores."

Song Ya listened and found that she was almost completely convinced. Is this a kind of hypnotic talk? Are the real elites so strong?

"I can even sign a betting agreement with you."

Daniel struck while the iron was hot, "As long as you help me get in touch with Lao Qiao and negotiate a cooperation, for the first one million singles, in addition to the royalties you deserve, I will give you an additional three percent share..."

"Based on five dollars for a single, three percent of a million copies is... one hundred and fifty thousand dollars?" Hayden calculated the number in his mind and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Yes, and if the sales volume does not reach one million copies in the future, I will still give you 150,000 dollars. You don't have to pay anything, just help me negotiate this business!" Daniel took out his check book and filled in ten thousand dollars. The figure was pushed in front of Song Ya's eyes, "This is the introduction fee I will give you personally. I just need you to help me arrange a meeting with Lao Qiao. This ten thousand dollars is yours."

Song Ya's fingers hidden under the table moved uncontrollably.

"I can't direct those people at BMI to do things, but I can help you recognize your own advantages, and even help you understand the way American society operates. In fact, you only need to rely on yourself to force those at BMI. Help people speed up their progress and secure their membership.”

Daniel's words became the straw that broke the camel's back.
