Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 282 This move was simply too clever.

In a room in the publicity department of the French World Cup organizing committee, Cao Jian's passionate and rousing song stunned everyone present.

Cao Jian's woman both loves and admires her man.

In their hearts, their men's talents have completely exceeded their imagination.

The foreigners were also incredulous. They never imagined that a country that couldn't even qualify for the World Cup would have someone write a song so perfectly suited to the World Cup.

After the song finished, the person in charge of World Cup promotion asked, "Mr. Cao, you can play football?"

"Not really, I just watch it often."

Cao Jian's skills are only good enough to fool Zeng Zhiwei and the others, but in the World Cup, it's laughable.

"No wonder, this song is practically tailor-made for the World Cup."

The foreigner's praise made Cao Jian's women feel proud.

No matter how much you praise him, Cao Jian is pragmatic. He took the disc out of the machine and said with a smile, "How much are you willing to pay to make this song the promotional song for the World Cup?"

"The song is yours, name your price."

The person in charge thought to himself that China was still very poor, and if he offered a price himself, it might not be too high, and he might even be able to save some money.

Sure enough, Cao Jian held up two fingers.

"Two million? In US dollars or francs?"

Two million US dollars is acceptable, and the other party is even thinking that if the other party said francs, then they would make a fortune.

The franc was worthless; one US dollar could be exchanged for more than eight francs.

But Cao Jian said, "Twenty million, US dollars!"

"what?"

The person in charge of World Cup promotion, along with all the French foreigners present, were completely stunned by this number.

The business department head who had previously signed the advertising contract with Cao Jian almost swore.

You bought several ad slots, spending 20 million. Are you now planning to recoup your advertising investment with a song like this?
That was an incredibly clever move.

But even though your song is good, it's not worth that much, is it?
Even Cao Jian's woman felt that the price was a bit too high.

Cao Jian slowly said, "If you buy this song, it will definitely be broadcast on TV. You can also sell it to other countries and make a profit. Moreover, with 20 million, I can sing this song at the opening ceremony with my own team."

Even so, twenty million US dollars is still too much.

Although the other party felt that Cao Jian was right, and that he earned a considerable appearance fee for performing on site.

Cao Jian laughed and said, "If you think it's too much, five million US dollars is fine too. However, I will take 40% of the revenue from selling to other countries' TV stations. You can decide for yourselves."

"It's dark."

These words silenced several French people.

They are very satisfied with their song "The Cup of Life" and it is very suitable for the World Cup. Any country in the world that broadcasts the World Cup will definitely be willing to buy the broadcasting rights to this song.

If you give him 40%, he might get even more.

If we don't buy it, this person will release an album ahead of time and steal the spotlight from the World Cup.

The group whispered among themselves, rattling off a string of French, before one of them finally bargained, "Ten million."

"It's 20 million, not a penny less, and the money and copyright for my album will still be mine."

"Mr. Cao, you are simply too shrewd."

The Frenchmen, feeling helpless, looked at the Chinese man and finally agreed, "Twenty million it is, I promise you."

"Sign the contract."

Cao Jian got his wish: advertising for free and even getting to appear at the World Cup opening ceremony. This promotional effect was better than producing more than a dozen TV series and movies.

Chen Hong, Zhang Baizhi, and the others standing nearby were momentarily stunned when they saw that the other party had actually agreed.

In the blink of an eye, they earned back the $20 million they had spent.

This is something only a man could pull off.

Wow, that's really amazing.

"Honey, you were amazing today! You made twenty million dollars in the blink of an eye."

"It's mainly because my husband writes good songs; they make me want to sway to the music."

"Of course, he's not that great, but he's the kind of person who can make so many of us sisters follow him without hesitation."

Women admire strength. Even if her man is a womanizer, he is truly capable.

Women who follow men like that, even if they have many sisters, will not regret it.

Back at the hotel, Cao Jian faxed the contract back to Hong Kong, and someone would take care of the rest.

After finishing the important business, all that's left is to have fun.

Shopping, strolling around, looking at all sorts of things, and even went to England to visit J.K. Rowling.

This woman had already written most of the first book of Harry Potter. After reading the draft, Cao Jian felt that it was similar to the original work, so he gave some suggestions.

"Mr. Cao, your suggestion is excellent. I have a feeling that you have read this book before."

After listening to Cao Jian's suggestions regarding the plot, J.K. Rowling was impressed and even suspected that the person in front of her had read the book. Cao Jian had indeed read it, but that was a secret he couldn't reveal, so he simply smiled and said, "Hehe, can it be published by the middle of next year?"

"No problem, this book can be finished in three months."

"That's good."

Upon hearing that this book, worth billions, could be published this year, Cao Jian's eyes seemed to see a mountain of gold.

Before leaving, he discussed his ideas for the next few books with J.K. Rowling, hoping that she would finish writing the first book and quickly start writing the second.

"dong dong dong"

I arrived in London on the first day of 1997.

As the New Year's bells rang, Zhang Baizhi leaned against Cao Jian and thought to himself, "I'm eighteen now, let's see how you refuse me now."

After celebrating the New Year, everyone returned to the hotel.

During this period, apart from Cao Jian, the others each had their own room.

He can choose whose room he wants to stay with at night.

But that night, as soon as the group returned from outside, Zhang Baizhi pulled Cao Jian aside and said, "Godfather, come to my room, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Cao Jian asked the question knowing the answer already, deliberately teasing the girl.

"Of course it's important, Godfather, come in quickly."

Without saying a word, Zhang Baizhi grabbed Cao Jian's arm and pulled him into his room.

Seeing this scene, the other women tacitly chose to return to their own rooms, thinking to themselves that tonight, the world would lose another young girl.

Pulling Cao Jian into the room, Zhang Baizhi closed the door and then wrapped his arms around Cao Jian's neck: "Godfather, can you take me with you when you perform at the World Opening Ceremony?"

"you?"

Cao Jian originally thought that this girl would be straightforward, but he didn't expect that she was thinking about how to become famous.

But it's not her fault. Who wouldn't want to be on such a big stage as the World Cup?
"Can't I? I can sing too."

Seeing the mocking look in Cao Jian's eyes, Zhang Baizhi was very unconvinced.

"Can you dance?"

"I"

This question really stumped Zhang Baizhi.

She loved singing since she was a child, but her mother didn't train her in dance, so she really can't dance.

But the little girl was unconvinced: "If I can't do it, I can learn!"

"Then dance a short segment and let me see."

"Just take a look."

Zhang Baizhi took off his coat, revealing his almost perfect figure. After a moment of preparation, he casually and gently began to sway.

After twisting and turning for a while, seeing that Cao Jian didn't react, she suddenly laughed and said, "Godfather, do you want to know what I'm wearing under this shirt?"

Originally, the girl meant to remind Cao Jian that under those clothes was the underwear they had bought together last time.

But this line, and the girl's current expression, reminded Cao Jian of the infamous flops "The Promise".

"Please don't say anything more, I don't want to know."

Cao Jian was really afraid that this girl would cause trouble in the future, so he quickly stopped her.

Seeing that his godfather was so clueless, Zhang Baizhi stopped dancing and plopped down in Cao Jian's lap: "You're so mean. I can't dance, and you're forcing me to dance."

"Since you want to accompany me to the World Cup opening ceremony in the future, you should learn if you don't know how."

Cao Jian hugged the girl's lower back and felt her exceptional softness; the Four Softest Things in the World truly lived up to their reputation.

“They will go back and study.”

Zhang Baizhi was very well-behaved, hanging on Cao Jian's neck: "Godfather, I've grown up now, don't you really like me?"

"Like it."

"If you like me, why don't you ever touch me? There's a girl in my class who also has a sugar daddy, and they often live together."

Zhang Baizhi had actually liked Cao Jian since he first fell in love.

In her heart, this man was tall, handsome, and capable, perfectly matching her ideal lover.

Although my godfather has many women around him, it also shows that he is really outstanding.

Tonight is the first day of the new year, such a meaningful day. She will give herself to the man she loves, and her wish will come true.
“I’ve been waiting for you to grow up.”

Cao Jian knew that once he entered the little girl's room, he would never be able to leave.

Besides, Zhang Baizhi is so beautiful, of course he wouldn't want to leave.

Holding the pretty young woman in his arms, gazing at her beautiful and innocent face, Cao Jian smiled and said, "Since you say you've grown up, then I must check you out."
