Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 143 But I Have 20 Billion! [66 Updates]

Why are they so confident that they can thoroughly understand Xia Shen? Isn't it because of copyright issues?
For artists, copyright is the most important thing; everything else is less important compared to it.

And now Xia Shen is telling her that he owns the copyright to all of Xia Shen's songs?!

Aren't these words supposed to be read together? Although each word is Chinese and she recognizes each one individually, why can't she understand them when they're put together?
Can these words really form a string of Chinese characters? They're not even in the dictionary!

Clearly, given Xidie Entertainment's consistent practices, the current situation has completely exceeded her expectations.

However, Xia Shen stood up directly and sneered, "Since you are so eager to get that 100 million yuan penalty, then I can transfer it to the company account today."

In other words, effective today, our contract is null and void. Your company is hereby prohibited from accepting any cooperation offers or conducting any promotional activities in my name. Otherwise, I reserve the right to pursue legal action against your company. As the saying goes, "I warned you."

After saying that, Xia Shen didn't give the other party time to react and turned to leave the office.

After packing his things in his lounge and studio, he carried a large suitcase to the company lobby. Before leaving, he also took a gold-plated trophy from the most conspicuous shelf in the lobby.

It was none other than the trophy for the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Award!
"mine!"

He simply took the trophy and dragged his suitcase away in full view of everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything first.

Only a small number of former visual effects employees who weren't laid off and were still able to stay at the company secretly took out their phones. It was unclear what they were doing, but they were also glancing around at the people next to them, as if they were doing something shady.

In the office.

At this moment, the woman finally realized what was happening and stood up with a gloomy expression.

She knew that things had finally spiraled out of her control.

Especially shortly afterward, the finance department immediately sent her a private message.

Xia Shen really transferred the 100 million yuan penalty to the company account instantly! And there was even a note clearly stating that it was a penalty!

She took a deep breath, opened her phone's contacts, pressed the number, and said after the call connected, "Hello, Chairman, something terrible has happened!"

"What did you say??"

In the office, Ai Xin Hengsheng stood up abruptly, raising his voice.

The more he listened, the gloomier his expression became. After a long while, he roared, "Baka!"
"What a bunch of good-for-nothings! What a bunch of good-for-nothings! How could this happen?!"

The reply on the other end of the phone was: "Chairman, we didn't expect things to turn out this way either. I just urgently pulled out a lot of people to look through the contracts, and we found Xia Shen's contract at the very bottom. It's exactly as he said. He owns all the copyrights, and the company only has the right to share the online revenue. In other words, we don't even get any copyright usage fees! The revenue is 95% less than expected!"

"So, Liao Jun didn't tamper with the accounts?" Ai Xin Heng Sheng said through gritted teeth.

"It's highly unlikely that this is really all the funds on the books," the reply came from the other end.

"Useless!" Ai Xinheng was furious.

Of course, this time his target wasn't the dispatched general manager, but Liao Jun.

He had originally thought that this young man in his early thirties had managed to build a small company with a registered capital of only 100 million yuan to this extent in five years, which showed he had some business acumen and talent. If he hadn't been in the way of him, he would have been a talented individual, and he could have gotten a little closer to him to see if there was any opportunity.

To my utter surprise, this was how they actually conducted their business.

"Fuck you, no wonder your company is just a small company. With someone like Xia Shen around, it's still a small company. You deserve to be poor your whole life, you piece of trash!"

He was furious; he simply couldn't understand why someone like Liao Jun existed.

To be fair, if it were him, the visual effects alone would be worth tens of billions by now.

There's such a money tree to be had, but we don't know how to use it!
Now it's all over. He can't control Xia Shen at all. Xia Shen's penalty for breach of contract is only 100 million yuan. This amount is just a drop in the bucket, not only for him, but also for Xia Shen.

He acquired this company, but then his biggest asset simply disappeared.

So what value does keeping the visual effects have for him?

It lost all its value on the spot!
but
"The person who can make me suffer a loss hasn't been born yet." Ai Xin Hengsheng narrowed his eyes.

This matter won't just end like this. He suffered a loss, which is intolerable, so he'll get it back from somewhere else.

"You really think you can get away with it by running away?"

Who is he? He's a big shot in the industry, a true tycoon of capital who controls a vast amount of resources.

The consequences of his anger can be very serious.

Now, he's set his sights on Xia Shen! All he needs to do now is watch Xia Shen's next move. He'll need to use some resources to get his revenge.

Since he won't accept the toast, then don't blame him.

Meanwhile, following Xia Shen's departure, he personally released an announcement online.

News of Xia Shen's termination of his contract with Visual Effects Culture spread quickly.

This also sparked a heated discussion among fans.

"Congratulations. Actually, it's good that she left. Xi Die's reputation is really bad."

"So you're saying Xia Shen's copyrights are all in your hands? Holy crap, that's great! That's how it should be! Without the threat of copyright issues, he's not so easy to manipulate anymore."

"So, where is the next destination? Is it really July? Actually, that's fine. July has the best reputation among the big wealthy families, and Zhou Yumeng is there too, so there's a basis for cooperation between the two sides."

"Won't these domestic companies go crazy now? They'll all be fighting tooth and nail for it."

In fact, these domestic companies have really gone mad.

They received the news the instant Xia Shen announced his termination of contract with his original company.

Then all parties reacted quickly, organizing their companies to go and discuss the matter in detail with Xia Shen.

We must bring Xia Shen into our company!

This is China's first person to be included in the world's top 100! Although not a gold-medal producer, he's better than one!
No gold-medal producer has his weight!
Moreover, she has multiple career paths, including being an artist! She can sing and perform!
Not only is he good at serious things, he's also good at shady things!
This is very scary.

However, Xia Shen personally responded to the speculation from netizen 'Xiao Xiao' about his trip to July, directly denying it.

Xia Shen replied directly: "I have no plans to work for anyone else, nor do I intend to sign with any company."

This has sparked a flurry of speculation among fans.

"Does this mean he's going to become an independent musician?"

"It's not impossible. Many big shots in China are like this. When they don't have many resources or much room for development, it's definitely better to sign with a company. But once they have opportunities, going independent is also a great option."

However, what they didn't expect was that at that moment, Xia Shen, Liao Jun, Lao Chen, Tian Min, and Chen Bili were all gathered together at a roadside food stall.

Both Tian Min and Chen Bili looked exhausted and stressed.

It's fair to say that, apart from Xia Shen, everyone else isn't in a very good state, especially Liao Jun, who seems much more dejected compared to the previous period.

"It's so different now that we're reunited. So many things are different now, and you won't be able to call me boss anymore," Liao Jun said with a wry smile. Then he looked at Xia Shen and asked, "What are your plans for the future? I guess I'll sell my house in China and probably settle down abroad."

"I?"

Xia Shen smiled and said, "I don't have any plans. You might have to call me boss from now on. You won't be able to go abroad either."

"Huh?" Liao Jun was stunned.

"Since everyone else has been kicked out... wait, you two haven't."

He looked at Tian Min and Chen Bili, and waved his hand: "Oh, it doesn't matter, they're all out anyway, so..."
Are you interested in getting back on board? The same crew, only this time I'm the captain. A world top 100 company like mine, without my own record label, that wouldn't make sense, would it?

Liao Jun was so surprised that he couldn't say a word.

Tian Min scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? I'd like to, but I have a penalty for breach of contract."

"It's only ten million, I can afford it." Xia Shen waved his hand dismissively.

"?" Tian Min slowly typed out a question mark.

Then he looked at Chen Bili: "And you, you can come along too. I said before that you have a very good voice. As long as you don't write your own songs, you are worth nurturing. So I found the two of you. I can pay the 2000 million yuan breach of contract fee for you."

"The company only had a little over 20 million in its accounts before."

Liao Jun said, "Are you going to start a company? That will require a lot of money."

I understand how you feel, but you've never run a company before, and the environment in China is different. Shouldn't you reconsider? I know you might have some money, maybe even more than me, but it's really different!

“But I have 20 billion,” Xia Shen said directly.

"Huh??!" Liao Jun was stunned: "No? How many do you have??"
