Peninsula, starting with being neighbors with Lee Kwang-soo

Chapter 12 Negotiations Successful, Let's Go See the Powder Black!

The main reason he wanted to become the producer was that he knew all the arrangements, choreography, and everyone's parts, and he didn't want his intrusion to change anything.

Neither of them had any objections to the latter. They were more than happy that Qin Wen was willing to be the producer, since who could understand their work better than the songwriter?

The main issue was the first one; they were a bit hesitant. Yang Juhua thought for a moment and then began to explain his plan, "Mr. Qin, would you be interested in debuting?"

"Huh...?" Qin Wen was taken aback. He originally thought they would object to copyright or revenue sharing, but he didn't expect this old guy to make a feint and ask him if he was willing to debut.

"Mr. Qin, you have a great appearance, which fits the image of a cool and handsome man and a cold genius," Yang Juhua suggested with a smile.

"No, President Yang, don't you know I'm Chinese? At this point in time, even if I pulled out all those 'FAKE LOVE,' 'Blood Sweat & Tears,' and 'Spring Day,' I might not be able to save it."

Qin Wen didn't realize that he had accidentally mentioned BTS's top hit song. Although he hadn't followed K-pop before, he had heard BTS's hugely popular hit song that topped the global charts.

"Hmm...? What's this about FAKE LOVE and Blood Sweat & Tears? I've never heard of them before. Mr. Qin, do you have any songs like that?"

Yang Juhua was taken aback at first, then, realizing something, she quickly asked,

"And from what you're saying, Mr. Qin, it seems like these later songs are even better than the first three?"

"Ugh... this stinky mouth of mine, it's like a sieve," Qin Wen cursed himself inwardly, then thought for a moment and said...

"Yes, but I haven't finished it yet. As for the quality, I can only say it's no less than the previous three songs. It's just that these are songs for a boy band, so the market for making money and reaching a wider audience is much larger than for girl group songs!"

"Holy shit x2!" Yang Juhua and Park Hongjun both cursed at the same time. This time, Park Hongjun didn't wait for Yang Juhua to speak first.

"Um, Mr. Qin, once you've finished writing, could I listen to it first? You know we're both musicians, and I'd like to hear it as soon as possible!"

"Uh... okay!" Qin Wen nodded helplessly.

"Mr. Qin, if you don't want to debut, would you be interested in becoming YG's in-house producer?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you top-notch treatment!" Yang Juhua tried to win him over again. He had a premonition that if he couldn't win him over this time, he wouldn't have another chance!

"Don't rush, I just arrived, and I still have to go to Seoul National University to register. I don't know how busy I'll be with my studies. Let's take care of these things first!" Qin Wen laughed it off.

"Well... okay!" Yang Juhua nodded with some disappointment.

He then reverted to his businessman's nature, saying, "Mr. Qin, your asking price is too high. I can only offer you 20% for the copyright and 10% for the song revenue. This is my maximum sincerity!"

"President Yang, this is not sincere at all. You know the quality of the song. 40% for copyright and 25% for the song itself is my bottom line!" Qin Wen shook his head and gave another number.

"No, it's still too high, Mr. Qin. You need to understand that a complete song has many aspects."

Operations, dance, music video shooting, promotion, and artist support all require significant investment.

"With the copyright at 25% and revenue sharing at 15%, we can't add any more!" Yang Juhua disagreed!

"Leave the dance, the music video, and everything else to me. I've been thinking about these things for years."

"35% for copyright, 25% for the songs, that's the minimum!" This time, Qin Wen looked at Yang Juhua very seriously.

Seeing Qin Wen's firm attitude, Yang Juhua knew that this was his last line, but she still wanted to negotiate a little more!

For the next half hour, the two argued back and forth, each trying to prove their point!

"In this way, we can sign an agreement whereby I guarantee that after their debut, they will break the record for number one music show at the fastest speed and achieve at least eight consecutive wins."

If I fulfill these conditions, I'll receive 35% of the copyright and 25% of the song revenue. If I fail to meet them, then as President Yang said, it's 25% copyright and 15% revenue!

Qin Wen changed his approach to the negotiation!

Yang Juhua and Park Hongjun both looked at him in surprise; they hadn't expected Qin Wen to be so confident!

Park Hong-joon sensed that Qin Wen was young and impetuous, and wanted to remind him, "Mr. Qin, you may not know this since it's your first time here..."

But Yang Juhua interrupted him, "Alright, Mr. Qin, your youthful spirit and daring are truly admirable! It's a deal!"

After saying that, she extended her hand and shook hands with him.

Qin Wen was disdainful in his heart, but he still reached out and shook hands with him, and nodded kindly to Park Hong-joon.

Park Hong-joon shook his head. He genuinely thought highly of this young man and didn't want him to fall into this trap, but Qin Wen had already confirmed things with Yang Juhua, so he couldn't say anything, since he was with the company.

Qin Wen knew what Park Hong-jun wanted to say, and he also knew what Yang Juhua wanted to say, but he didn't care. He knew how capable those little girls were.

Yang Juhua then quickly drew up a contract, fearing that Qin Wen would renege on his promise!

20 minute later.

Qin Wen took the contract and started reading it, but in his mind he was actually thinking, "Idiot, can you check if there are any problems with this contract?"

[Reporting to Master, the contract is fine.]

Hearing what the mentally challenged person said, Wang Nan was somewhat surprised that Yang Juhua hadn't done anything wrong. The internet was full of people saying that the contract was a servitude contract, but it seemed that wasn't entirely true!

What he didn't know was that Yang Juhua took into account his Chinese identity, his status as an international student at Seoul National University, and her optimism about his future songs, which is why she didn't cause any trouble with the contract!

After all, the incidents involving Han Geng, Lu Han, and Qian Ge are still fresh in our minds!

After the contract was signed, Yang Juhua once again materialized the image of a chrysanthemum, saying, "Welcome, Mr. Qin, to our team!"

Qin Wen was speechless. Why was Yang Juhua always secretly causing trouble? He smiled and said, "Thank you, President Yang. I, this 'temporary worker,' will shamelessly agree!"

Yang Juhua paused slightly, then smiled again and said, "Mr. Qin, from now on, when we eat together, you can call me Brother Xianshuo, and I'll call you Qin Wen, okay?"

"Damn it, that old fox is really something, always trying to get me into this place. If I hadn't drawn Pink and Black, I wouldn't have even entered this den of thieves!"

Qin Wen nodded; he couldn't refuse this kind of approach!

"Qin Wen, I don't know when you plan to start working. To be honest, I plan to have them officially debut on August 15th."

"There's still a month and a half left, time is tight!" Yang Juhua secretly reminded Qin Wen.

"Tomorrow, I'll officially start work first thing tomorrow morning!" Qin Wen thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I'll put your employee ID at the front desk tomorrow. Just look for them, and they'll take you to your production studio and BLACKPINK's practice room!" Yang Juhua nodded.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then. I'll be going now," Qin Wen said, standing up.

"Okay, I'll take you!" Yang Juhua said politely.

"No need, I can't keep troubling Hyunseok-hyung, I can manage on my own..." Qin Wen wanted to say that he would leave on his own.

Park Hong-joon finally seized the opportunity, "I'll give you a ride!"

"Uh... okay!" Qin Wen really didn't dare to communicate with him, afraid that he would give himself away if he wasn't careful.

The two walked out, meeting Yang Juhua's gaze.

"Brother Hongjun, could you take me to BLACKPINK's practice room?" Qin Wen said, as if something had occurred to him.
