My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1573 Discussion 2
The heavy rain in Foley Hill started a little after 6 p.m. last night and didn't stop until the early hours of the morning. When the city awoke from the night, the light of day reappeared in the sky.

Perhaps because of the rain, the light was much clearer than usual, and the streets of Bruce Town were much cleaner after being washed by the heavy rain.

Dilapidated bicycles passed through the street.

A young couple, each holding a drink, walked away into the distance, talking as they went.

In the living room, after having breakfast, Li Xiaohong got Taylor's agent Boche's phone number from Zhang You, contacted her, and arranged a meeting place. Then, Li Xiaohong headed to Taylor's agency.

It took about an hour.

Li Xiaohong arrived at a company located in the Foley Hill business district. After speaking with the receptionist, she was quickly led to a conference room, where a dark-skinned staff member brought her a cup of coffee with a smile.

It's hard to imagine that this somewhat run-down company is actually the management company of international singer Taylor Swift, but it's true. Apart from some tech companies, many companies with high market value abroad are quite run-down. They would rather keep their money in the bank than waste it on building a company building.

Unlike some companies in China that, once they make money, their first priority is to buy land and build skyscrapers. This is due to their mindset and values. In China, people value appearances, and even if the substance is lacking, they still have to coat the exterior with gold powder. Foreign companies, on the other hand, are more pragmatic.

Just like the Nautilus watch that Liu Fei bought for Zhang You, in China it would definitely be sold in a commercial building with a rented counter and a very stylish interior. In other countries, it would be sold in a store located on the street, a place that sells luxury watches.

However, this is not absolute.

It really depends on the individual.

Last night, after Zhang You went into the bedroom to check on the two children, he kissed Fei Fei on the lips twice. Li Xiaohong knew that Fei Fei would definitely not refuse after her postpartum period.

Therefore, Li Xiaohong really hoped that Feifei would return to China with her immediately after finishing her postpartum confinement and stop getting involved with Zhang You. If things continued like this, it would be truly over.

Seeing Fei Fei's hesitant look, Li Xiaohong knew that the chances were slim. She had already given all the advice and said all the right things, and now she could only let Fei Fei make her own choice.

Mistresses are ultimately not respectable.

It's just that Zhang You's parents had already passed away. If they hadn't, and the old couple were gone, Feifei wouldn't know what to do. If she went, it would have too much of an impact; if she didn't go, she would seem unfilial as a daughter-in-law.

Fortunately... Zhang You's actions didn't cause Fei Fei any distress, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Just as she was thinking about these things, a middle-aged woman walked into the conference room. Before she came, Li Xiaohong had done her homework and knew that this was Taylor's agent, Boche, who was also a top agent abroad.

She single-handedly propelled Taylor Swift from the countryside to the position of a top female singer internationally, which speaks volumes about her personal abilities.

Hello, Ms. Boche

Li Xiaohong smiled and extended her hand to shake hands with Boche.

Hello, Li.

Boche also had a smile on his face.

After the two sat down, Boche didn't immediately talk about "Love Story." Instead, he smiled and asked, "Li, Zhang's performance yesterday was absolutely fantastic! When I heard him sing '500 Miles,' you know what I was thinking? I was thinking, 'My God! This is real country folk!'"

"He truly possesses extraordinary talent in music."

Li Xiaohong readily accepted Boqie's praise of Zhang You.

And that's true. Anyone can say this guy is lazy, since he's been living off Jiang Yiren for ten years, but no one can say he's incompetent. He rose to become a kingpin in the entertainment industry and a tycoon in just two years since his debut. Looking back over the years, this guy is truly unique. Especially since Li Xiaohong probably knows more or less why Zhang You participated in "Voices from Abroad"—partly to accompany her husband Liu Fei, and partly to use the program to become a global icon.

In this way.

There's no need to worry about being targeted. Han Hui told me that when this guy was suddenly called to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, he thought someone was trying to sabotage him and was quite startled.

That's true.

Let alone Zhang You, who wouldn't be afraid of being watched by the "young master"?

If it weren't for these two factors, Li Xiaohong would know that Zhang You was unlikely to have traveled abroad specifically to participate in "Voices from Abroad," since this guy's talent wasn't limited to the music industry; he was also a top screenwriter and investor in China.

If you really want to make money, just write "Crazy Stone 2". With the first film's total box office of over 4.7 billion, even if the second film is slightly worse, it should still make 2 billion.

After deducting the revenue sharing with cinemas and Tianyu Entertainment, they can earn at least 500 to 600 million yuan. The key is that it doesn't take much effort; they can do it from home. They're not worried about making too much money at once and attracting attention.

Some people are incompetent at dealing with outsiders.

They're really good at messing with their own people!

Aside from movies, the fact that this guy could write such an excellent variety show as "The Voice" means he can write other good variety shows as well. Ultimately, this guy is still afraid of being messed with.

A few hundred million or a billion isn't much, but if it suddenly increases to several billion, it becomes extremely eye-catching, and then several billion quickly becomes 10 billion... Once this watershed is crossed, it's almost time to slaughter them.

The pigs are raised until they are ready before being taken to the slaughterhouse.

It's not that suckling pigs aren't eaten, but relatively few people are willing to slaughter them. It's different with big, fat pigs; killing just one is enough for the New Year.

“I’ve looked at his profile. Many of his songs are independently produced, which is similar to Taylor Swift. They are both very talented young people, and that’s probably why Taylor Swift admires Zhang and was willing to buy his cover of ‘Love Story’.”

Boche said with a smile.

Li Xiaohong gleaned two meanings from Boche's words.

The first layer is a gesture of goodwill, and the second layer is an expression of... Taylor was willing to spend money to buy the song "Love Story" simply because she admires Zhang You, not simply because the song is so good.

Obviously.

This is an attempt to lower the price.

Upon realizing this, Li Xiaohong, as the manager of pop diva Liu Fei… while she might not have done well in some aspects, her professional skills were not lacking. So, Li Xiaohong picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and then smiled as she put it down, saying, “Ms. Boche, first of all, I have to tell you that the reason Zhang You sold this song was because I felt that since he was developing his career abroad, he needed to cultivate good relationships with top female singers like Taylor Swift. That's why he agreed to sell it; otherwise…”

Li Xiaohong took out her phone.

Opening the domestic music platform iMusic, directly clicking on Zhang You's playlist, and pointing to the data, Boqie said, "The prices of the songs may differ, but the purchase volume speaks for itself. Zhang You's songs have all been purchased in over 20 million copies."

Li Xiaohong scrolled down and continued, "These are all over 30 million. These figures can't be faked. And... I think you also know how well 'Chilly Cha Cha,' 'Take Me to Your Heart,' and Zhang You's recently released 'Fairy Tale' sold."
