My wife is in my arms

Chapter 740 Black Friday
It's very simple.

Lin Bao'er wanted to act as a middleman to profit from the price difference, so she offered him 15 million. On the other hand, Rookie Music wanted to help Qin Tai buy songs from him, and they agreed to the price because they knew that such a high price was undoubtedly suitable for hype.

The key is this kind of hype.

It's not only effective but also quick.

Because anything... even just the title "sky-high priced dishes" can make it onto the trending charts of short video apps, and this sky-high priced song involves top singer Qin Tai, as well as him.

With two popular singers appearing, the hype is bound to skyrocket. When Zhang You didn't hear Lin Bao'er's voice on the phone for a long time, he knew that she should realize that what was hidden behind the "sky-high price song" was not just about earning her five million, but would bring Zhang You a lot of trouble.

"I'll contact the chairman of Cainiao Music right now."

After a while, Lin Bao'er spoke.

"Has the money been transferred yet!?"

Zhang You asked.

"He was hit."

Lin Bao'er immediately replied.

"Then it will be too late."

Zhang You said helplessly.

The fact that they transferred the money so quickly proves that they already have a plan for how to hype things up. Since Lin Bao'er has accepted the money, it means that the rest is up to them. For both reason and emotion, Lin Bao'er can't say anything more.

That's how things work in the business world.

If others follow the rules of the game and you can't beat them, it's because you're not good enough and you have to accept it. Besides, you can't win an argument with them in this kind of situation, no matter how reasonable you are.

You quoted a price, someone else paid it, and then they used the money from buying the song to maximize their profits. That's their skill. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being stupid and foolish, blinded by short-term gains.

In this incident, it seems that everyone made a profit, including Zhang You, whose song, originally worth 5 million, was sold for 15 million. Although he only received 10 million in the end, it was still more than double the original 5 million. Lin Bao'er, as the intermediary, also made a profit.

Cainiao Music may seem to have spent a lot of money, but in reality, once it gets hyped up, it will be the biggest beneficiary. In the end, Zhang You, who made an extra five million, is the one who is most hurt.

"What should I do!?"

Lin Bao'er also realized that she might have really let her guard down and tricked Zhang You this time.

That's why her tone became not only hurried but also a little flustered, and she believed that even if she wanted to return five million to Rookie Music, they definitely wouldn't accept it.

After Zhang You's reminder, she realized why the chairman of Cainiao Music was so willing to spend money... She couldn't help but admire him; he didn't know she was offering such a high price beforehand.

This also means that as businessmen, they realized that there was profit to be made here, so they readily agreed. Once Lin Bao'er understood this, she knew how big the gap was between herself and these seniors who had been in the business world for decades.

Thinking of this... Lin Bao'er seemed to realize it belatedly. You know, before they even started hyping it up, Zhang You already knew what they were planning to do.

This ability to anticipate the enemy's moves seems equally remarkable.

Realizing this, she inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

Since this guy could anticipate her moves, he must have a plan. Then, she heard Zhang You on the phone suddenly say, "How should I know what to do?! Anyway, you've caused me trouble, so you have to find a way to help me solve it. If you can't, do you want more? Didn't you make five million from me? Give me that five million, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

"..."

Lin Bao'er understood.

In short, he just wanted to get the five million back from her, the middleman. Standing next to Zhang You, Han Hui looked at him with surprise. This guy was really willing to risk his life for money. He knew how to do things at the rookie concert, but he just wanted to get the price difference back from Chairman Lin.

And Chairman Lin is really... mischievous.

As the head of a large entertainment company, to do something like this... Ah, love! It always needs to create a spark to ignite the light of love between two people.

Chairman Lin is probably in this situation.

It's obviously impossible for her to be short of five million; the implication is obvious—it's just a little fling between the two of them.

Jiang Yiren was also surprised that Chairman Lin would do such a thing, but unlike Han Hui, she didn't think as deeply. After a moment of thought, she understood why Chairman Lin did it.

I still want to make money.

It's true that Chairman Lin is wealthy, but she controls a company. If she hadn't encountered something that could easily earn her millions, she would have been fine. But since she has, she's already made a profit.

"Don't stay silent. Give me five million, and we'll be even. Even if I get killed by Rookie Music's hype, you don't need to send me a wreath."

Zhang You replied.

Tell me your solution to this problem, and I'll consider it.

Lin Baoer said with a smile.

"There's no other way, I have to tough it out. Five million is enough for me to last a long time."

Zhang You said seriously.

"I don't believe you. I'm hanging up. I won't return the five million. I earned it through my own abilities. If you need it for public relations purposes, do it as soon as possible... I don't think I need to ask; you can just give the order yourself."

Done.

Lin Bao'er then hung up the phone.

Afterwards, before she even left work, she directly dialed the phone number of the chairman of Cainiao Music. The two talked for about ten minutes before Lin Bao'er ended the call with a gloomy expression. Just as Zhang You had said, the other party was indeed going to use the "sky-high price song" to create some hype. She wanted to return the five million, but the other party refused.

They even said, "Zhang You's treasured masterpieces are only worth this much money."

Lin Bao'er placed her phone on the desk, stood up from her chair, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window wearing gray casual pants and a light brown collared blazer.

As dusk fell in the city, the afterglow painted the sky a warm yellow.

Several birds flew past the glass window and swooped down in the distance. These must have been birds that came out to forage at dusk. Soon, the birds turned into black dots and disappeared from sight.

Lin Bao'er crossed her arms, her face was pale, and her eyes, beneath her natural double eyelids, revealed a coldness and a lingering sense of frustration.

She truly hadn't expected that such a simple matter could lead to so many problems. If it weren't for Zhang You's phone call, she would still be basking in her own self-satisfaction.

She thought she had easily made five million, and was quite the business genius, but she never expected to be proven wrong so quickly, so quickly that... she didn't even have time to react.

Looking back now, what her father said was indeed a perfect match.

"In the business world, all seemingly tangible benefits often represent traps."

She still didn't quite understand what he meant.

Now that she's been hit like that, it's hard not to understand. And Zhang You... he's got a pretty sharp mind; he figured it out in no time. He seems more suited to be a boss than she is.
