Being in the modeling industry, my information is updated daily.

Chapter 131 I've Turned the Tables and Become the Boss, Don't Eat the Sour Radish!
August 2nd, 5:20 AM.

[Daily Intelligence 03 (Pink): Inside the garbage room next to Building 2 of Tianhai Residential Area, there is a dusty, unusually old-looking Red Star 502 radio with a large yellow croaker stuck to its bottom!]

Upon seeing this information, Lin Qingsong, who was lying in bed, got up without thinking, dressed, and went downstairs.

No wonder he was excited; anyone who saw this news would want to bring it home immediately.

This is a large yellow croaker!

He had found the small yellow croaker before, and while he was at it, he also looked up information about the large yellow croaker.

Ten small yellow croakers are worth as much as one large yellow croaker!

Inside the garbage room next to Building No. 2.

Lin Qingsong looked at the radio casually tossed on the ground, then looked up at Building No. 2 next to him.

There were no other distracting thoughts in my mind.

No doubt about it, this building is a dungeon where you can consistently farm loot!
The Red Star 502 was my country's first generation of independently developed vacuum tube radios.

The so-called "three turns and one sound" in the past, the "one sound" was the standard Red Star 502.

Something so meaningful could fetch hundreds of dollars even if you disassembled it and sold the parts.

Moreover, given its current condition, it could easily sell for over a thousand yuan after just a little dusting.

As a result, they just threw it away as trash.

Forget it, whoever lost it, it's now owned by the Lin family.

I put the radio in a bag and carried it home.

Lin Qingsong opened the precision instrument toolbox worth more than 10,000 yuan that he had picked up at the toll station before.

After rummaging through the radio and taking out a set of tools, a golden nugget that looked incredibly appealing appeared before his eyes.

Holding the large yellow croaker, a hint of joy flashed in Lin Qingsong's eyes.

According to online sources, a large yellow croaker weighs about 300 grams.

Based on current gold prices, this piece of gold should fetch at least 90,000 yuan.

Meanwhile, this radio in front of me could sell for hundreds or even thousands of yuan on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace).

Although only three pieces of intelligence were released today, and the other two were even white-level intelligence, which was not even as good as character intelligence.

But this one pink piece of information is enough!

This piece of information can be said to be the most valuable piece of information after the awakening system.

Whether it's the value of gold in a broad sense or the value of gold in a narrow sense.

They are all the most complete!

Putting down the gold nugget in his hand, Lin Qingsong turned around and opened the safe he had previously found at the film set halfway up the mountain.

After rummaging through the clutter inside, they pried open the bottom panel.

Looking at the stacks of US dollars piled up inside, Lin Qingsong reached out and gathered them aside before putting the large yellow croaker inside.

After examining it with satisfaction for a while, he tightened the bottom panel of the safe and put all the miscellaneous items inside.

After everything was back in place, Lin Qingsong reassembled the radio, took a picture, and skillfully hung it on a Xianyu (a Chinese online marketplace).

This app is really convenient; without it, I would have a lot of things that I wouldn't be able to sell.

He checked the time and realized it was almost six o'clock, so he took the protein powder and headed to the gym.

"Good morning, Qingsong."

At the entrance of the residential compound, Shen Xingyu stood there gracefully, waving to Lin Qingsong.

They made plans yesterday to work out together today and then go to a modeling audition together.

"Sister Yu, to be honest, I'll have someone teach you a few catwalk steps later, and then you can try it out?"

Looking at her long, slender, snow-white, flawless legs, Lin Qingsong couldn't help but offer another word of advice.

He was quite curious to see what Shen Xingyu's long legs would look like on the runway.

"Never mind, never mind." Shen Xingyu waved her hand to Lin Qingsong with a slightly embarrassed expression, "I'd better not disturb your normal interview. I'll just go and take a look today."

"It's actually not bad."

Lin Qingsong shrugged: "The brand manager I'm interviewing today is a friend of mine. If it doesn't work out, you can take a look first, and after the interview, when the space is empty, you can try walking around a few more steps."

"I see. We'll see then. I'm just going to take a look; I definitely can't let it interfere with your normal work."

That's what she said, but Shen Xingyu was actually quite looking forward to it.

"There won't be any delays," Lin Qingsong said with a smile. "After all, this is the second round, so it will be relatively easy. He needs a total of ten models, two of whom have already been selected. We only need to choose eight."

Although he had previously promised Eva and Elena that he would send them to Fashion Week.

But in reality, he, Eva, and Elena all knew that what they meant was that they were just recommending the two of them to participate in the second round of interviews.

Elena is a bit better off, since she's a model from his own company. He'll just give her a little word, and if it's not a big problem, his friend will just let it go.

As for Eva, his previous idea was to just let her be.

After all, changing the host once a night was already more than enough.

I wonder how many people verbally agree to something, only to renege on it the next day.

But a couple of days ago, the system refreshed and displayed a piece of information.

The above shows that Eva is already going through the process of terminating her contract with her parent company and is trying to find an opportunity to get herself signed.

In this situation, he wouldn't mind greeting everyone together.

You can't let people who are wholeheartedly devoted to your models feel disappointed.

With two pre-selected candidates and two others who made their own connections, it's highly likely that only six models will be chosen today.

It's hard for an interview not to go by quickly.

After exercising, the two went back to wash up separately.

Because Shen Xingyu had some things to take care of in the morning, Lin Qingsong drove to pick up Elena first.

When he arrived at the entrance of the model apartment, he had just parked his car when he saw a Russian girl standing alone, looking down at her phone.

"Eva?"

Quite by coincidence, this Russian girl is Eva, who will also be auditioning later.

"Lin?" Eva, who was waiting for the car, exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Lin Qingsong's name, "What are you doing here?"

The next second she exaggeratedly slapped her head, "Come on, my memory is really bad. Elena is a model in your company. You must have come to pick her up for an interview."

"And you? Who from your company is sending you off?" Lin Qingsong looked at her curiously. "Or are you going by yourself?"

Eva, like the crew-cut, big-nosed woman in her company, is quite the seasoned veteran.

This is the case.

If they have a case, the company will send someone to deliver it when they have time.

If they really don't have time, we'll just let them take a taxi themselves and reimburse them for the fare.

In most cases, they don't want the company to send someone to drop them off; instead, they prefer to take a taxi themselves, as it gives them more freedom.

Eva wasn't too polite either. Instead, she walked up to Lin Qingsong with a grin, opened the passenger door, plopped down, and said with a fawning expression:
"Hehe, the company told me to take a taxi myself, Lin, why don't you give me a ride when you drop Elena off?"

I glanced at the female model who had the same eye color and iris color as the dark-world actress, Rachel.

Lin Qingsong looked at her teasingly, "So, are you going to pay for my taxi fare?" Eva feigned shyness and said, "Lin, do you need me to pay now?"

"Is this payment method legitimate???"

Seeing her like this, Lin Qingsong almost thought he had installed a camera in the car.

The main character in this series isn't Chinese either.

“What’s so improper about payment!” Eva said, putting down her phone and smiling. “Or, Lin, do you want a special kind of payment?”

"This isn't a good idea. I'm afraid Elena will start fighting with you later." Lin Qingsong glanced at his watch and said helplessly, "After all, she's always been at odds with you."

“OK.” Eva shrugged. “Don’t worry, Lin, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

She also knew that her current status was different from Elena's.

But this difference should be eliminated this month!

After saying that, she changed to a serious expression and looked at Lin Qingsong, saying, "Lin, I heard that you also opened a modeling agency? Is that true?"

She actually came from the same place as Elena, but because she was a little older than Elena, she came to China a few years earlier.

As a result, not only are the two of them very familiar with each other, but their social circles are also very similar.

That's why she heard that Lin Qingsong had started a new company.

"it is true."

Lin Qingsong didn't hide anything, and at the same time, he could guess what Eva wanted to say.

really.

Eva quickly revealed that she wanted to terminate her contract with the parent company and join Lin Qingsong's company.

Finally, she also gave a rather experienced introduction to her own advantages.

"Lin, if we're talking about Shanghai standards, I'm basically somewhere between a B-level and an A-level model, and I have a wealth of experience in Shanghai over the years."

"Although you need to pay a termination fee to help me terminate the contract with the parent company, I still have long-term contracts with several brands."

"So this is definitely not a losing deal!"

After finishing speaking, Eva looked at Lin Qingsong with great trepidation.

"So how much is the termination fee?" Lin Qingsong remained calm.

After seeing the news that day, he had already decided to sign Eva.

Although he always jokingly referred to these people as "old hands," in reality, these "old hands" are the backbone of a company.

Their potential may not be as great as that of newcomers, but they can consistently bring profits to the company.

Of course, this is on the premise that the penalty for breach of contract is not much.

If he had to pay a penalty of several million, he would never pay that unless he'd been shot in the head.

Eva, having planned this for a long time, spoke without hesitation:

"If they make me pay a penalty for breach of contract, it might be two million, but if it's a normal termination, I only need to pay four hundred thousand."

"So you have a way to get them to terminate their contracts with you instead of making you pay a penalty?" Upon hearing the two million, Lin Qingsong couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

That's a lot of money.

If he really had to pay a penalty for breach of contract, he definitely wouldn't sign the contract.

“I can’t help you, but you can.” Eva looked at Lin Qingsong expectantly after saying this. “I heard that you have a good relationship with Ivanov. If he can speak on my behalf and pull some strings, I’m sure I can terminate my contract with the parent company normally.”

"What? Ivanov?" Lin Qingsong couldn't help but look at Eva, asking in a doubtful tone, "Are you sure Ivanov has that much power?"

In his impression.

Ivanov was the kind of guy who would rather die than shave his leg hair on the first day, saying it was a man's dignity and what he was most proud of.

The very next morning, a silly old Russian man with bald patches on his legs and a bright red nose appeared.

The only unusual thing about him is that he's quite clever; he even thought of selling his beauty pageant rankings for money.

“Of course!” Eva nodded vigorously. “Although Ivanov is only a school leader, his family is quite famous in our area.”

"I see. So do you think this is difficult for him?"

Lin Qingsong didn't agree immediately, but instead asked Eva another question.

Although he had met Ivanov in Sanya and even shared drinks and spoils.

But to say I'm particularly familiar with them, that's not the case.

It's best to find out more about these things before bringing them up; it would be foolish to just say it rashly.

Since Eva was able to find out about her relationship with Ivanov, it means she had already thought things through.

“Not difficult!” Eva shook her head directly and said, “Although Ivanov is not highly regarded in his family, our company will definitely give him face if he asks!”

"I understand." Lin Qingsong nodded slightly. Eva's words revealed quite a lot.

This is in light of the fact that Ivanov was willing to personally travel to Sanya to lead a team for a mere tens of thousands of dollars.

This is enough to illustrate one point.

That means Ivanov is not only disregarded by his family, but he is also likely short of money.

In that case, you can just talk to him about money.

After thinking it through, Lin Qingsong looked at Eva and said:
“Eva, if you really want to continue your previous modeling career, you’d better sign with Shining International.”

Not only is Aoki International's current tentative strategy focused on the low-to-mid-range market, which doesn't quite align with Eva's current strategy.

Another point is that Qi Nan has already spoken with him privately.

When he opens his studio in September, he will be able to hold a portion of Shining International's shares.

in other words.

He is now the boss of Shining International.

In that case, it would be better for Eva to sign with Shining International, which aligns with her future career path.

Of course, he wouldn't give up on Aoki International either.

The high-end market has its advantages.

However, the low-to-mid-end market also has its advantages, the most obvious of which is faster checkout.

Cash flow is of paramount importance to a company!

Eva looked at him with a puzzled expression, wondering why Lin Qingsong said that. "Lin, I want to follow you."

“In September, I will hold a stake in Shining International, so you will be following me wherever you go.”

This is not something that needs to be kept secret.

Qi Nan will announce this news at the summary meeting this month.

"I see." Eva said with a smile, "Lin, then congratulations in advance!"

Just then, Elena also came out of the apartment building.

Upon seeing Lin Qingsong's car, she excitedly walked over and prepared to open the passenger door.

She couldn't open it no matter what she did. Before she could ask, she saw the passenger window slowly roll down.

A familiar face then appeared before her eyes.
