Hate The Bright Moon Chapter 44
byChapter 47
Hearing that the other party was an MCN organization, Chen Shilu asked Chi Huang to wear the newly purchased culottes and shirt.
Because of procrastination when going out, traffic jams on the road, and taking his time when he got to the place, Chi Huang became the last person to arrive.
There was a table of people in the private room waiting for him, and everyone looked unhappy.
The people from the agency were waiting to see each other in disgrace.
Jiang Chao’s apology to the other party was still on his face, but when he saw Chi Huang, he couldn’t help but became angry: “What time did I tell you, why are you here now?”
Chi Huang casually found an empty seat and sat down, and calmly took the menu in front of him: “There’s nothing I can do about the traffic jam.”
“You’re stuck in traffic and don’t know how to leave early?”
“How do I know there will be a traffic jam if I don’t go out?”
“Are you justified in being late?” Jiang Chao said angrily, wanting to criticize him a few more words to calm his long-awaited collaborator.
Unexpectedly, the boss of the other party stopped him and tried to smooth things over: “It doesn’t matter. Just come and ask the waiter to serve the food.” He turned to Chi Huang and said, “We ordered some in advance. If you want to eat anything, just order it.”
Jiang Chao looked up again and found that all the people in the organization seemed to have different faces. They all became pleasant-looking.
Chi Huang closed the menu: “You can just order. I’m not picky about food.”
“Then eat it first, and then order more if you don’t have enough.”
Jiang Chao quickly introduced him: “Chi Huang, this is the operations director, Mr. Wu, this is the artist director, agent He, and this is Assistant Cao…”
Chi Huang agreed, his expression going in from one ear to the other without any concealment, exactly the same as his usual perfunctory attitude toward Jiang Chao.If it weren’t for outsiders, Jiang Chao would have been unable to resist slapping him.
At this time, the food and drinks were served. Mr. Wu asked everyone to use their chopsticks, and Assistant Cao helped pour the wine: “This is the first time we meet, let’s all drink one together.”
Chi Huang held down the cup: “I don’t drink.”
His move really frightened people.
Seeing that the other party was a little embarrassed, Jiang Chao quickly lied: “That’s right, Chi Huang usually has strict physical training and cannot drink.”
The steps were handed over to me. Assistant Cao was very sensible and put on the teapot: “Yes, yes, I didn’t think carefully. How about using tea instead of wine?”
“I don’t like tea, is there any Coke?”
Jiang Chao knew that Chi Huang didn’t like this kind of occasion and social interaction, but it was related to his future development, so he couldn’t help but kick him secretly and wink to make him understand.
Mr. Wu thoughtfully asked him if he wanted to drink iced or room temperature. After saying hello, he asked the waiter to bring two more cans.
The others started chatting after a few glasses of wine.It’s just that the company’s talent scout accidentally saw Chi Huang’s game video and felt that his image and temperament were very suitable, so he invited him to sign a contract.
“It’s not me, Coach Chui Jiang. The strength of our company is obvious to all. If you look at the heads of various social media platforms, half of the names you can name are from our company.” Mr. Wu introduced the agent, “Have you ever heard of xxx, xx? It was all led by our Mr. He. We are also very optimistic about Chi Huang and asked Mr. He to take time out of his busy schedule to meet together and chat with us.”
“Yes, I know about your company.” Jiang Chao didn’t intend to push Chi Huang out casually. He had checked all of this beforehand.This MCN organization is also considered the leader in the industry. What the person surnamed Wu said is a little watery and can be considered true.
But he also has his concerns: “I think our organization is building internet celebrities, and ours is a racing driver. Is this appropriate?”
“It’s appropriate, of course it’s appropriate. The car itself is topical and visually impactful. Secondly, our driver’s appearance is so good. He has the potential to become a first-line internet celebrity.”
“I mean, I still want him to develop in a professional direction. He finally achieved some results in the competition he just completed, and I don’t want him to go astray.”
Mr. Wu immediately said: “I understand. Our contract does include live broadcasts and some offline activities. In fact, these only take up his spare time. Moreover, the specific time can be negotiated, as long as it does not affect training and competition.”
Jiang Chao pretended to be a good guy for a long time. Since the contract was discussed, he also knew to fight for the best interests of Chi Huang: “We are still considering that several multinational engine manufacturers also hope to invite Chi Huang to join their teams. From a professional development perspective, joining a first-line team is definitely a more advantageous choice.”
Everyone knows that the purpose of proposing a competitor is just to raise the price. The man surnamed Wu was silent for a while, and then manager He said: “How much signing fee did the manufacturer over there give Chi Huang?”
The manufacturer’s team is also a first-line factory team, and it is a place where all professional motorcycle riders want to join.Chi Huang is still a newly-minted newcomer, and his bargaining space is relatively limited. At most, he can only negotiate an annual salary of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.
Jiang Chao was still thinking about how to raise the offer, so he boasted directly over there: “As long as Chi Huanghe signs a contract with us today, we can immediately pay him a one million signing bonus to show our sincerity, and give him a non-responsible basic salary of 20,000 yuan every month to protect his daily life. The bulk of his income will be divided into advertising, commissions for goods, and remuneration for commercial activities, and we also have resources for film and television activities. Based on this calculation, his annual income will not be less than 5 million yuan, and the upper limit cannot be estimated.”
Jiang Chao was obviously a little bit stunned by the “huge sum of money” that fell from the sky. Money that he had never seen in his life was right in front of him. As long as Chi Huang signed the contract, they would get one million immediately.
He was still dazed, and Manager He took advantage of the victory and said, “Have you ever thought about Chi Huang’s longer-term development?”
“How long?”
“For example, after retirement. We all know that he can’t have a bowl of rice as a racing driver for the rest of his life. How long can he continue to do so? Ten years, fifteen years. You are a professional. You must know better than me.” Manager He squinted his fox-like eyes.
Jiang Chao was obviously not happy to hear this and retorted: “According to what you say, I can’t be an internet celebrity for the rest of my life.”
“It doesn’t take a lifetime, just a few years is enough to achieve financial freedom. When he makes enough money, he can do whatever he wants. He can take the money and continue to devote himself to the racing career, even if he is a coach and leads a team like you, he no longer has to worry about money.”
For a time, all the ups and downs of building a team in the past appeared before Jiang Chao’s eyes.All the hardships and hardships come down to the fact that I have no money.
He was a little moved and raised his arms to Chi Chi: “What do you think?”
Chi Huang raised his head from the pile of crab shells. The others were busy talking, and he almost ate the steamed king crab by himself.
He licked his mouth and said, “It tastes very fresh and sweet. You should try it too.”
Jiang Chao: “…”
Mr. Wu laughed loudly: “Just eat it if you like it. Why don’t you ask the waiter to bring another one?”
“No, no, no,” Jiang Chao said quickly, “Don’t just focus on eating, I’m asking you about signing a contract to become an internet celebrity.”
Manager He took out the contract at the right time: “You can take a look at the signing conditions we gave you first. They are really generous. We come here with full sincerity.”
Chi Huang took the contract, rolled it up and stuffed it into the large trouser pocket of his hakama without even looking at it.
This made the people in the agency look a little ugly: “Aren’t you going to take a look?”
“I feel a little dizzy now that I’m full. I’ll fall asleep when reading something with so many words.”
“Why don’t you let Coach Jiang look at it for you? After all these years of your relationship, he must be thinking about you.”
Jiang Chao was worried about his unreliability and asked Chi Huang to give him the contract.
Chi Huang blocked his hand and said to the people in the agency: “I’m really sorry, neither Lao Jiang nor I can make the decision.”
“Then who can make the decision?”
“My mother. I have to take the contract home and show it to him first.”
