Starting with One Billion, I Donate It All

"May I ask, what is your dream?"

"To become a philanthropist!"

"Great! Then, as a philanthropist, if you had one million, would you donate it?"

"Yes!&#...

Chapter 23 Declaration of War

This return on investment is really gratifying.

"There are still four days left. If I withdraw the money, the principal plus interest will be over 300 million!"

Hu Yibao’s initial small goal was to earn 1 billion yuan and then donate it.

Improve the E-grade return rate to D-grade.

This goal.

It is estimated that it should be completed in the first half of the year.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Although he was still energetic, Hu Yibao still forced himself to sleep.

The work and rest schedule must be adjusted.

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

I can't sleep for another day!

I am a celebrity now.

You have to set an example for the public by going to bed early and getting up early.

Five o'clock in the morning.

The sun hasn't come out yet.

The official website of QQ Music has already released an announcement.

After a night of negotiations, Mr. Hu Yibao's three Chinese-style songs have been bought out by our platform.

This announcement instantly caused an uproar in public opinion.

"QQ Music, they acted really quickly and snatched up three Chinese-style songs overnight."

"It's over! I really need to become a member to listen to music from now on!"

"Hey, how come Hu Yibao has reached a cooperation with QQ Music? My QQ Music membership just expired, and I just renewed my Yiyun membership for a year."

"How much did it cost in total for these three songs? One million, right?"

"I just learned from a special channel that QQ Music spent nine figures on these three songs."

"Holy crap, three songs for over 100 million? Holy crap, is this real? Most of the masterpieces by internationally famous singers can't even be sold for that much!"

"Don't be surprised, this is the price after tax. Wait a minute! QQ Music will make an announcement soon. This is just a declaration of sovereignty."

"Declaring sovereignty? I think it's more like a declaration of war. Nowadays, the music scene is dominated by QQ Music, Yiyun Music, and Gouku Music, with up-and-coming music like Qianqian Music also on the rise. QQ Music is clearly trying to capitalize on the Chinese-style music created by Mr. Hu Yibao to dominate the scene!"

"I agree. This announcement seems to be aimed at us netizens, but it's more likely aimed at music platforms like Yiyun. It's a declaration of war, and Yiyun and the others have no choice but to accept it, otherwise they'll be quickly left behind by QQ Music."

“The music world is in a war!”

“…”

When conspiracy theories about the impending change in the Chinese music scene were rampant, the official QQ Music released another announcement.

"[Response to Netizens: Regarding the Notice of the Buyout Price for Mr. Hu Yibao's Three Songs]"

The announcement is not long.

There are only three paragraphs and a few hundred words.

"Our company, early this morning, bought out Mr. Hu Yibao's [Dongfeng Po], [Blue and White Porcelain], and [Jiangnan] for a total of 140 million after tax, and reached a long-term cooperation agreement."

"Our company has always been committed to inheriting the finest Chinese culture and has always sought to bring Chinese culture to the world. As the first three Chinese-style songs unique to our country, purchasing them for 140 million is not considered an excessive price within our company."

"At the same time, we also hope that more original musicians can join QQ Music and work together to inherit and spread Chinese culture."

Three songs.

One hundred and forty million after tax!

This price not only stunned the onlookers, but also shocked the bigwigs in the circle.

"This is really a big deal!"

"One hundred and forty million for three songs. My goodness, an average person wouldn't be able to earn that much in ten lifetimes!"

"I never thought that singing could make so much money!"

"This must be the sky-high price for song transactions in our country!"

"That should be it! A year ago, a large company bought out a top foreign singer's hit song as its corporate song, and it only cost 30 million."

“…”

QQ Music’s two consecutive waves of operations have shocked the market.

Who would have known that not long after the buyout price was announced, QQ Music released another announcement.

"【Chinese Style Song Writing Competition】"

"In order to better promote Chinese culture and let Chinese-style songs represent China, go out and face the world."

"Our company has decided to hold the first Huaxia Style Competition. The first place winner will receive a 50 million contract and various resources from the Penguin Group. The second place winner will receive a 30 million contract and various resources from the Penguin Group..."

This is indeed a big move.

It directly expressed the determination of QQ Music to the outside world.

"QQ Music is showing its sword!"

"For now, it's a good thing. This kind of song writing competition is indeed conducive to the spread of Chinese culture."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, at least some of the audience have started to read poetry and songs and learn some ancient history."

“QQ Music is still awesome!”

While netizens were shouting "QQ Music is awesome" and "QQ Music is domineering", other music platforms were already in chaos.

Yiyun Music Headquarters.

President Li Xu looked at the three notifications from QQ Music on his phone and slammed the phone to the ground.

"One hundred and forty million for three songs, that's a really big deal!"

"Cheng Wen, this guy, can't help himself and is about to take action!"

"Since you want to start a war, then I will continue. This is just the beginning, and it's not certain who will win."

“…”

The employees outside the door were all trembling when they heard Li Xu's roar.
