My wife is in my arms

Chapter 775 English Songs Part 4
"impossible"

In a private room at a hotel, several people were seated. Among them, a middle-aged man in a black suit directly refused, saying, "Teacher Zhang, the profit sharing you're proposing is something that even other companies, let alone Ai Music, could never offer at 30/70."

"hehe"

Zhang You chuckled twice.

Neither Jiang Yiren nor Han Hui spoke.

Allowing Zhang You and the representatives sent by Ai Music to discuss song revenue sharing is something that seems to be something few singers in the music industry can do. As for Jiang Yiren, before last year, she even had difficulty getting a homepage recommendation on the Ai Music platform, let alone getting Ai Music to make concessions on revenue sharing.

however.

Zhang You did it.

From now on, all songs for which he owns independent copyrights will be exclusively licensed to the AiMusic platform. AiMusic is willing to change the original 50/50 split to 40/60.

As an agent in the industry, Han Hui knew that this was already the limit for a singer; there was no precedent in the music scene for going any higher.

But Zhang You was still not satisfied and actually wanted seven.

This number is truly alarming; it's practically snatching food from the jaws of a tiger on the iMusic platform, so Han Hui feels that the chances of reaching an agreement are slim.

However, she is not Zhang You's manager. Yesterday, she privately helped him accept an interview program, and when she came back, she was said to be "meddling in other people's business" and was explicitly forbidden from helping him accept interviews without his consent.

Thinking about this incident, Han Hui felt both angry and aggrieved.

Why did she do that?!

It was all because of Yiren's sake that she got him a job to explain the "sky-high price song". You know, she even did some favors for this job. In the end, Zhang You made a big show of it, and she didn't get any benefits and just got scolded.

Seriously... I'm just being a jerk.

"Teacher Zhang, we came with sincerity..."

The representative from iMusic, who had just spoken, was about to speak again when Zhang You raised his hand to interrupt him. Zhang You smiled and said, "To be honest, the reason I'm willing to talk to you now is because some of my songs have been actively promoted and recommended by the iMusic platform..."

Noticing that the representative was about to speak again, Zhang You continued, "Let me finish. I heard that the iMusic platform is expanding into overseas markets and has acquired quite a few song copyrights by now, right? That's a significant investment. The overseas iMusic platform launched last Christmas, and from what I've heard, it seems that not many overseas singers release songs on the iMusic platform, right?"

Faced with Zhang You's question.

The representatives of the music lovers did not look too good.

Clearly, Zhang You has hit the nail on the head regarding the current state of the iMusic platform overseas. However, this is no secret; anyone who wants to understand this situation can find out. But they don't understand why Zhang You brought it up!

"Teacher Zhang, this has nothing to do with what you were talking about with us."

The middle-aged man in a suit said in a deep voice.

If it weren't for the media reports this morning that other music platforms were contacting Zhang You, and the chairman having some concerns, sending them over to talk to Zhang You... and anyone with eyes to see would know that this was just a smokescreen released by Zhang You.

What other music platforms?!

Even if they do come into contact, so what! With 200 million users, such a massive consumer base means that even if other platforms increase their revenue share to 80%, he knows better than anyone how to choose. AiMusic isn't a case of a large company bullying its customers; that's a clear and undeniable fact.

However, since they have objections to the revenue sharing, Ai Music cannot turn a blind eye, after all, this person is now qualified to make such a request.

As before, they were prepared to accept a 40/60 split, as this was already the biggest concession Ai Music had made. Unexpectedly, this person was still not satisfied, which made him lose patience to continue the negotiation.

"You think it has nothing to do with me!?"

Zhang You chuckled and countered, "Don't tell me that the song 'She' is going to release at midnight tonight hasn't been evaluated internally, or are you not planning to release this song, which I've adapted into pure English, on the international music platform AiMusic?!"

Seeing the sudden change in their expressions, Zhang You didn't care. He continued, "You all know very well how good this song is, yet you're pretending to be clueless. Fine! Don't release this song tonight. I'll deal with the international music platforms. Your music platform may have a huge user base here, but internationally… local platforms are the bosses. Rather than letting you take 'She' abroad and make a pittance, I'd rather release it directly on an international platform."

"..."

The representative from the iMusic platform immediately fell silent.

Before the others could react, Zhang You continued, "I'm willing to grow together with the AiMusic platform. As I just mentioned, it's thanks to your platform that my songs have received so much support. I, Zhang You, am always grateful. You've been so good to me, how could I release English songs on foreign music platforms for profit? But since I've made such a big sacrifice, shouldn't your AiMusic platform also show some appreciation? Thirty percent is more than enough. I'm grateful, but AiMusic should also know how to be self-sufficient."

Jiang Yiren's shoulders trembled slightly.

She felt both angry and amused.

My husband... if he's going to talk business, he should just talk business. Why bring up gratitude? If he really knew how to be grateful, what was the point of all those years of domestic violence? Was it just another way of expressing gratitude?
Then, before the representatives from the Love Music platform could speak, her husband continued, "Relationships are built over time. I have feelings for Love Music, and I hope Love Music is interested in me. Love is mutual; if only one side is involved, all you'll get in return is disappointment, and that's not good."

"..."

Han Hui thought it would be a good thing for Zhang You to go into crosstalk.

The conversation veered off from discussing business to "gratitude" and "self-awareness," and then moved on to "love." The logic seemed plausible, but the tone... was stale.

"Seventy percent impossible..."

however.

Just when she thought the music platform wouldn't agree, just as she expected, the middle-aged man from the music platform who had been talking to Zhang You that night was about to refuse when he was interrupted by a voice from behind him.

The woman who had recently acted as his assistant or secretary suddenly looked at Zhang You and said, "The iMusic platform can agree to your request."

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, his expression filled with disbelief.

Then, his face instantly lost all color. He realized that he had encountered a backstabbing in the workplace, and that the fact that the woman interrupted him during the discussion meant that she must have obtained authorization from higher-ups.

Zhang You glanced at the middle-aged man, then at the young woman who had suddenly spoken.

He couldn't help but laugh.

"You big companies are really interesting. One person talks business face-to-face, but the one who actually makes the decisions is hidden away."
