Perfect Life

Li Qian casually found a decent-looking cafe on the street and walked in. While listening to music with headphones on, he turned his head from time to time to pay attention to the movement at the door.

About half an hour later, Li Jinlong pushed the door and walked in.

Li Qian took off his headphones, stood up with a smile, and waved at him.

Li Jinlong strode over and saw Li Qian stretch out his hand, he hurriedly stretched out both hands, grabbed Li Qian's hand, shook it firmly, and said directly: "Mr. Qian, long time no see, I am here to join you. ."

Li Qian smiled, shook the other's hand, and said, "Sit down and talk."

The two sat down separately, the waiter came over, Li Qian asked Li Jinlong's taste, and then ordered a pot of cooked noodles, and then looked at Li Jinlong with a smile, and asked, "Is it a little too impulsive? Huage is a big one after all. Company, you are also a producer of Wuxingwusu, and the future is very bright. My studio is only preparing for construction. To be honest, you are here to help me with the decoration. For you, it is too subservient."

Li Jinlong smiled and said frankly: "Huage just adjusted my salary not long ago, and now I can start to receive dividends from the album. Although it is a little bigger than a sesame seed, it is also a dividend after all, right? So, hehe , if I want to say it seriously, if I can get to this stage in Huage, based on my own ability, I should really be content, should I not think about changing jobs, resigning, etc. But..."

Just as the waiter came to serve tea, he paused until the waiter poured a cup of tea for the two of them and walked away, then he continued: "But, I know myself, I was ignorant when I was young. , I think I am very talented. But I have been in the circle for so many years. Especially after seeing your humble talent again. I completely understand that I am a person, and I really can't talk about musical attainments. Gao, so, even if I continue to be a producer, it is just a vegetarian meal, and I can’t talk about any achievements. On the contrary, I feel that I can handle some daily affairs.”

"You asked me to choose the president, make an idea, and set the direction. I can't, at least I'm mediocre, and I can't do well, but whether it's taking care of daily affairs, or doing trivial work such as albums, running errands, etc., how much am I? After a while, the contacts in the circle. There are also a little bit. So I thought, the most suitable position for me. Maybe I will find a genius like you, Qian Shao, to help you. To put it bluntly, I think now, I It should be someone's assistant. Haha, just as your studio is about to open, I'm just wondering if I can come over and give you a shot."

"With you here, the future of the studio will definitely be thousands of miles away. I can't hide this little thought from you. My advantage over others is that I knew you at an early age, so I'm shy. Come over with a face and take a seat first, I hope to be able to eat and drink with you in the future. We have known each other for a while, and we have dealt with it a few times. I can't guarantee anything else. Son, I promise a hundred hearts!"

Speaking of which, he didn't drink tea, he just looked at Li Qian.

Li Qian put down the teacup, smiled, and said, "I will dig the generals of Huage before my studio is opened... Will it seem a bit aggressive?"

As soon as he said this, a look of disappointment flashed across Li Jinlong's face. But soon, he still showed a smile and laughed at himself: "Qian Shao is joking, I have been working for more than ten years, and I have only just become a second-level producer. The album "Get Up" sold so cheaply, what a general... It's really a joke."

Li Qian smiled and swirled the teacup with his fingers unconsciously. Just when Li Jinlong's heart was getting heavier and heavier, he suddenly asked, "Resigned?"

Li Jinlong was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "I have already resigned."

Li Qian nodded, swayed the teacup for a while, and then said, "Come on then!"

Li Jinlong was stunned for a second when he heard the words, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he looked at Li Qian in surprise.

But at this time, Li Qian thought about it and said, "As for my studio, although I have also bought a place, it is not too small, but at the beginning, I was not going to do it much, so in this way, the administrative affairs will be My manager, Sister Qi, is in charge, and you take the lead in music matters, do you think it's alright?"

Hearing this, Li Jinlong nodded immediately, with a look of great excitement, "Thank you for your trust, don't worry, I'll still say that, put aside my ability, I'm absolutely 100% attentive. I have a lot of strength. , never out of nine!"

Li Qian smiled, nodded and said "Okay", and then asked again, "Do you have a competition agreement with Huage?"

Li Jinlong nodded and said helplessly: "One year! Within one year, you are not allowed to engage in any work in music."

Li Qian nodded.

In fact, non-compete agreements are not only in the music industry, but also exist in many industries, especially those with strong technical expertise. The so-called non-compete agreement, the general rule is that if you resign or change jobs before the work agreement is fulfilled, then in order to prevent you from jumping to the opponent's side and attacking yourself in turn, but also to avoid revealing some business secrets, the company. It will be stipulated in the agreement that within a certain period of time after you leave the company, you will not be employed by other similar companies or even work in similar industries.

After thinking about it, Li Qian said, "So, anyway, you just quit your job, so take a break at home first, and at the same time, walk around the circle and help me find a few people. Like a singer with good qualifications, or a good standard. The musicians and the like, um, especially the arrangers, I know there are many underground arrangers in this circle, all of them have not signed with any company, and usually can't get any big jobs, they all rely on the record The company picks up some second-hand jobs. To be honest, they do a lot, but they don’t make much money. You can help me pay attention to them and contact a few good ones. Well, especially the soundtrack for film and television.”

Hearing the previous ones, Li Jinlong just nodded with bright eyes, but at the end, he couldn't help but widen his eyes instantly, "Soundtrack for film and television? Is there a way for our studio? Can we get this piece of work in the future?"

Li Qian smiled and said lightly: "I'm not sure, just walk and see. There should be some hope. Prepare in advance."

Li Jinlong nodded when he heard the words. Immediately, I was agitated.

Although he didn't have much contact with him, he still knew a little bit about Li Qian. He knew that even though Li Qian was young, he was very well behaved. . Since he mentioned it. That basically means that he has at least a certainty of success.

So he said a little excitedly: "Don't worry, Qian Shao, I've been in this circle for so many years, I can't say anything else, I know a lot of musicians and arrangers, and I promise to pick a few for you. Let you see it!"

Li Qian nodded, and then specially reminded: "Although there is a competition agreement, don't relax too much, you won't be idle for long. After a while, I will consider taking over the production of Wuxing Wusu's next album. It's the opening of the studio. At that time, it is estimated that your business will be a matter of casual mention. "

Paused. He affirmed, "It's as short as one month, and as long as two months."

This is equivalent to giving a positive answer. Within two months, Li Jinlong can officially go to work in Li Qian's studio. Of course, before that, he needs to get a few singers, musicians and arrangers.

But for Li Jinlong, this is already the best result.

As long as he thinks of the jaw-dropping brilliant achievements that Li Qian has created in the past year, Li Jinlong is full of confidence in his prospects after joining Li Qian's studio.

So, he didn't care about the cold tea anymore. After drinking a few sips, he chatted with Li Qian a few times. When he got up and left, even walking seemed to be a bit of a rush.

But when he left, Li Qian sat in the cafe for a while, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt awkward - he wanted to open a studio, but he also bought such a large area on purpose and paid a lot of money for decoration. Before doing it, of course, he knew that he was about to leave the days of solo practice. From now on, it would be equivalent to pulling the flag and standing on the top of the mountain. Even he felt that he was mentally prepared, but Li Jinlong's sudden appearance, But it suddenly woke him up.

Although the sparrow is small, it must have all the five internal organs.

With all the internal organs, it is obviously impossible to continue to be as casual as before, and rules and regulations must be established for everything.

And to be honest, in the two lifetimes, Li Qian disliked the rules and regulations the most.

what time to work? What time do you get off work? How many administrative staff need to be recruited in the studio? What do they do? What should their wages be? Bonuses, how should the incentive system of Shenma be formulated? How should the company be managed in normal times? Moreover, the studio has been established, and there will definitely be external work in the future. What kind of work will it take? How to give an approximate price to the outside world? Musicians, singers and arrangers are signed in, how to manage them?

And so on, and so on.

All kinds of things are mixed together, Li Qian originally thought it was far away, he can wait until the decoration is done over there, and the studio has set up a grass-level team, and then slowly start to do it and accumulate it. , but now, he suddenly discovered that, no, administrative staff can be recruited after opening, and musicians can also contact them slowly in the future. At present, under the circumstance of less business, if they just sell songs and make songs like before, It’s easy to practice alone, but there are some things that can be established if you don’t plan, no matter how much you don’t like it, you still have to start thinking about it and start doing it.

But unfortunately, Li Qian in the last life was practicing solo from beginning to end. Whether he was an underground singer or musician at the beginning, or started to receive music for film and television, and then started to film TV series, he was a solo practice. mode, and even waited until he had filmed several TV series before he started to have his first agent. So at this time, let him fiddle with these things, he really feels a little overwhelmed.

Well, basically, once you leave the music itself, or film or TV production itself, he becomes a layman, a near-no-know rookie.

He sat in the teahouse for a long time by himself, thinking over and over for a long time. In the end, he still had to sigh, "Okay, let's go and find Qi Jie."

It is more appropriate to leave these things to Qi Jie to worry about.

Although she is very amateur in music, she has officially worked in the unit anyway, and she has been reading many professional-level tomes in the past six months. on this sort of thing. It must be someone who is more experienced and has more say than himself.

So he paid the bill. Drive straight to Liao Liao's house.

Qi Jie currently has no residence in Shuntian Prefecture, and temporarily lives in Liao Liao's house.

As a result, when Li Qian arrived, Liao Liao and Huang Wenjuan happened to be pulling Qi Jie to go out. Seeing Li Qian frowning and looking worried, Qi Jie asked what was wrong, but Liao Liao said carelessly: " What else can he do, he must be worried about the start of school soon. He is going to military training, thinking about what excuse to find an excuse to escape from military training?"

Li Qian was originally looking for Qi Jie to talk about the serious business, but when he asked Liao Liao to say so, he couldn't help laughing. After thinking about it carefully, it was really, military training. It's a very annoying thing, especially, I had already participated once in my previous life. I really don't want to suffer that sin again in this life.

But this time, he asked Liao Liao with a smile. "When did you come back? What are you going for?"

Liao Liao said: "I just came back yesterday, business performances are not tiring, but flying back and forth is tiring. I ran two places, and when I came back, I slept for more than ten hours and didn't want to move. It is said that He Runqing needs a year to At least 20 or 30 commercial performances, I really don't know how she survived!" As she spoke, she grabbed Li Qian and said, "Come on, you too, go see my new house!"

Li Qian was surprised when he heard the words, "House? Did you buy a house?"

Liao Liao said with a smile: "I haven't bought it yet, but it is said that the house is good. I want to see it, and I will buy it immediately!"

Speaking of which, two albums have been sold in succession. Although Changsheng Records has made a lot of money, Liao Liao, as a singer, must have received a lot of commissions. Simply speaking of her first album "Liao Liao", it has been It has sold nearly 5 million copies, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to exceed 5 million copies before the end of the year. Liao Liao's 10% share from this album is as high as 5 million!

And this album "The Sound of the Wave" is said to have sold 4 million copies, and it will easily pass 6 million copies before the end of the year, which is obviously a lot of money. And she doesn't have any extra consumption. The major expenses for this year, that is, spending less than 200,000 yuan to buy a Mercedes-Benz commercial car is still considered a piece, so the money is naturally saved.

In the current Shuntian Prefecture, although the commodity economy has been in operation for many years, house prices have been rising steadily in recent years. To seven or eight hundred square meters, it is only about five million yuan to buy a set. If the angle is a little bit off, or the area is a little smaller, a set of villas is two or three million yuan. Even if you go to the suburbs a little bit, a villa is less than one million. Taking Liao Liao's current net worth, of course, there is no pressure to buy a house like this. Naturally, this is a bold statement.

So Li Qian was helpless, and before he had time to say a few words, he had no chance to mention the things he was thinking about, so Liao Liao pulled him into her business car and accompany her to see the house.

"Anyway, it's useless for me to save money. I want to make some investments and invest in individual stocks, but I've been rejected by people! Yes, I'm going to buy a big villa! This lady wants to enjoy life! I have to spend money like crazy!"

A few people got into her Mercedes-Benz commercial car together, Huang Wenjuan was in charge of driving, Li Qian was in the passenger seat, Liao Liao was a little bit arrogant and shouted: "Juanzi, let's eat donkey meat and burn it later, but it's okay, Let's eat one and bring one!" He also patted Qi Jie and said, "You too, Miss Ben treats you!"

As she said that, she couldn't stop squinting at Li Qian.

Li Qian raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look back, and the two looked at each other. Li Qian smiled and asked, "Have you listened to cross talk recently?"

Liao Liao was stunned for a while, then suddenly raised his leg and kicked Li Qian's seat back, and stopped talking.

…………

The house is really good.

In the East Fourth Ring Road, it is slightly north. It is very convenient to go to the airport in the northeast. If you go south to the Fourth Ring Road, it will be closer to the studio. However, it is not a commercial area nearby, and there is still a distance from the Fourth Ring Road. Before entering the community, Huang Wenjuan drove I drove the car around the neighborhood for about a circle, and found that the surrounding area is convenient and not noisy at all.

This role, this environment, can't be picked.

The community has just been built for more than a year, and the houses are still being sold one after another. Many people have already moved in. The surrounding construction is also well done. Large villas, single-family, European-style, two and a half floors up and down, you can build your own greenhouse on the third floor. Flowers, you can also build an open-air swimming pool, if you want to be really cool, you can build a helipad by yourself and no one will care about you.

There are two large garages next to the villa, and there are four exclusive parking spaces outside. The whole house is not a garage. The building area is nearly 700 square meters, and the asking price is only 5.58 million, and the sales manager took a look at the house. The person in question was actually the famous singer Liao Liao, and immediately said that he could ask the boss for a 10% discount. If Liao Liao could check in within a year, it would be as low as 20%. The condition is that the other party needs to mention Liao Liao’s check-in when promoting thing.

Of course, without authorization, people will not publicize and publicize it publicly.

The four of them wandered up and down, and they were very satisfied. The materials used were very solid. The walls, windows, and stairs were all made very solid and exquisite. What's even more rare is that Liao Liao took a fancy to it at a glance.

So, Qi Jie came forward again to be responsible for bargaining.

But her bargaining was so ruthless that the sales manager couldn't make the decision. In the end, the sales manager reported back, and the general manager of the other party heard that Liao Liao was really buying a house, and rushed over at that time. This time, there was no need for Qi Jie to bargain, the other party directly gave a terrifying offer: 40% off!

A large villa of 700 square meters in the Fourth Ring Road, the garage is given away, and the final price is: 3.3 million!

This price is already so low that Qi Jie is too embarrassed to bargain again!

But Liao Liao blinked and suddenly said that he wanted to see something else, and then let the sales manager take it with him, and the group wandered to see the other two villas for sale.

The general manager of the other party didn't know whether he was afraid that Liao Liao would not buy it or what happened~www.wuxiaspot.com~ at that time, he made a final promise that no matter which one of Liao Liao's prime ministers was selected, he would get a 40% discount! If you buy two buildings, the second building can also be taken with a 20% discount!

This was obviously in Liao Liao's arms, but she blinked a few times, and in front of the expectant general manager, she didn't nod her head on the spot, just said to think about it, and then pulled Qi Jie and bit her ear for a while .

Then Liao Liao took Li Qian and Huang Wenjuan into the villa and looked around, leaving only Qi Jie outside.

But when the four of them finally finished their house-seeing trip, got into the business car and started to go back, Li Qian realized that just now, Qi Jie actually bought three villas on behalf of Liao Liao!

Hearing this news, Li Qian was taken aback and quickly asked, "Why did you buy so many houses? Where did you get so much money?"

Liao Liao's eyes narrowed, "I want you to take care of it! I'm happy!"
