Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 40 Defeated by Money
Although Cao Jian's album is still hot, Yang Yuying's album has once again brought a wave of sweet songs to China after it was released.

Especially some middle-aged people, who used to like Han Baoyi and Deng Lijun, now hear Yang Yuying's songs as if they hear the sound of nature.

Coupled with the effective pre-promotion, the album's title song "Tell You Gently" quickly became popular across the country.

Middle-aged people like sweet songs, while young people prefer the duet "Summer Blown by the Wind" by Cao Jian and Yang Yuying.

Just these two songs made the album sell like crazy.

Can you not be crazy?

"Summer Blown by the Wind" is one of Lin Junjie's representative works. If this kind of song was released in the 1990s, it would be a dimensionality reduction attack.

This is also the reason why Li Qiang wants to sign Cao Jian as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, on the same night that Yang Yuying and Li Qiang had their conversation, Cao Jian was having dinner with representatives from PolyGram Hong Kong with his girlfriend.

"Mr. Cao, I didn't expect Miss Yang to be your girlfriend. You two are truly a perfect match."

Fang Zhengjie also saw the sales of Yang Yuying's album these two days, and also learned that the title song of this album was written by Cao Jian.

If you can write a song for others and make it sell well, you are definitely a talent.

As expected, the boss has good vision and is willing to pay a signing fee of 20 million Hong Kong dollars to poach this young man.

In response to Fang Zhengjie's compliment, Cao Jian smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Did you bring the letter of intent?"

"Brought it."

Fang Zhengjie took out a contract and a large suitcase, and opened them in front of the two men: "Mr. Cao, once you sign this letter of intent, the money will be yours. I have already exchanged it for RMB."

The Cantonese cuisine on the table was plentiful, but it paled in comparison to the huge box of money.

The impact of cash was terrible. Yang Yuying looked at the suitcase full of banknotes and was a little unresponsive for a while.

PolyGram wants to sign my boyfriend and actually offers so much money?
This should be more than one million, right?

The last time he signed with New Era, it seemed like we had to beg him to do it.

Shocked, Yang Yuying turned her head and looked at the contract in Cao Jian's hand.

When he saw the actual amount of the signing fee, he was shocked again by the number.

20 million Hong Kong dollars???
That's more than 17 million.

So much money?

No wonder Cao Jian said before that the other party gave too much.
There are indeed a lot of them. If it were me, it would probably be difficult to refuse.

If we get the share of his album "Walk Away with Style", we will have more than 20 million.
Yang Yuying felt that this was an astronomical figure.

After Cao Jian finished reading the contract, he turned around and noticed his girlfriend's gaze. He smiled and said, "Do you want to sign it?"

Yang Yuying blurted out: "Sign!"

This is more than 10 million yuan, which is something many people can never earn in their entire lives.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Cao Jian really didn't expect that when the whole box of money was placed in front of him, Yang Yuying, who had been crying because he was leaving, was defeated by the money.

It turns out that the power of money is infinite.

He signed his name on the letter of intent and gave Fang Zhengjie a copy of his ID card and other items.

Yang Yuying thought it was just a record, but she didn't know that it was something for PolyGram to help her get a Hong Kong identity card.

The meal was very enjoyable. Fang Zhengjie was in a good mood after completing the task. He kept praising Yang Yuying for her beauty and beautiful singing.

But she was not invited to PolyGram.

Because PolyGram is negotiating a contract with another beauty, Chow Hui-min, this year, the company will not sign two sweet girls at the same time.

After dinner, Cao Jian drove home with Yang Yuying.

Along the way, Yang Yuying turned back from time to time to look at the suitcase containing money in the back seat, as if she was afraid that it would disappear.

After a while, Cao Jian teased, "It turns out that my daughter Gangli is a little money-grubber. In just a short while, you've already looked at the box more than a dozen times."

Yang Yuying said angrily: "I'm not a money-grubber. This is our milk powder money!"

Although the two of them were already living together, she still felt embarrassed to say this about our child.

"I don't drink milk powder." Cao Jian said, glancing at Yang Yuying's perfect figure and plump chest, and said with a wicked smile: "Besides, our child should have no shortage of milk in the future."

"You're a scoundrel, a nasty villain!"

This made Yang Yuying blush again, and she raised her fist and hit Cao Jian several times.

"Ha ha."

After they played around for a while, Yang Yuying asked, "Dear, now that you have so much money, you won't forget me when you go to Hong Kong, right?"

Cao Jian immediately assured him, "How is that possible? If you're worried, come to Hong Kong to see me often. Besides, we have business here, so I'll come back often."

"I believe you."

Yang Yuying thought about it and it made sense. She secretly decided that she must do a good job in the clothing business.

This way, your boyfriend will naturally come back to visit you more often.

After two years, when the business has grown, I will get married and have children.
As she thought about it, she felt happy.

This year's Spring Festival is on February 15th, and there is still one week left until the Spring Festival.

The popularity of Yang Yuying's first album "Tell You Gently" continues to rise, and this girl's sweet singing voice has spread all over China.

There are two duet songs in the album, one is "Summer Blown by the Wind" sung by her and Cao Jian, and the other is "Heart Rain" performed with Mao Ning.

Unfortunately, this song "Heart Rain" was completely suppressed by Cao Jian's chorus song in the album and did not make any splash at all.

Many listeners who have heard Cao Jian’s songs before even felt that Yang Yuying and Cao Jian were a perfect match.

This makes the New Era feel helpless.

They originally wanted Mao Ning and Yang Yuying to form a "golden boy and jade girl" pair, but now it seems that this plan is a bit difficult.

Who can blame Cao Jian and Yang Yuying for being so sweet and charming in the song "Summer Blown by the Wind"? Both their singing and performance are so charming.

The current Spring Festival travel rush is not as terrible as it will be ten years later, but many people have already started going to the train station to buy tickets.

"Third brother, I may be back two days later for the New Year this year, so you go first."

Cao Jian had to send Yang Yuying home to celebrate the New Year first, so of course he couldn't accompany the third child back with her.

"Love comes before friendship."

The third brother was very unhappy. It’s been more than thirty hours, and you let me go alone?

"Haha, you're on the train alone, maybe you'll run into some pretty girls or something. Without me around, your strengths can be fully utilized."

"What kind of beauties could there be on the train? It's best if we go back together."

"Then after the New Year next year, I'll let you be the boss."

"Really?"

Cao Wei immediately perked up when he heard this: "Brother, don't worry about going to your sister-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year. Don't worry about your uncle. If you don't come back, I can go and spend the New Year with them."

"Haha, you, of course I have to go back, just two days later."

Cao Jian cursed with a smile and took out a plane ticket from his pocket: "Since you don't want to meet beautiful women on the train, this is the ticket I sponsored for you?"

"By plane?"

Cao Wei never thought about taking a plane.

Airline tickets are so expensive, more than 500 yuan per ticket, which is a month's salary.

However, he also knew that his cousin was now a big star and his songs were very popular, so this amount of money was nothing.

However, just as he was about to accept the ticket, he suddenly said, "I'm a little scared. What if the Baiyun Airport incident happens again?"

Cao Wei mentioned the hijacking incident at Baiyun Airport this year. The whole country knew about it at the time, which led to fewer people taking flights.

"Don't worry, we're safe."

Cao Jian handed the plane ticket to Cao Wei, wondering how this kid would brag about it when he got back.

I am now worth several million. Would it be considered a return home in glory if I go home for the New Year this year?
