Chapter 1053: Human Development Depends on Awareness
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou..."
After Xuanzi finished speaking, seeing that the young boss didn't react, Wan Keying called out twice in a row, keeping her voice very low, for fear of disturbing the other person's thoughts.
After all, they are still 'guilty'.
"I'm thinking about the direction of your development, why bother?"
Hearing Xiaodi No. 2's shout, Zhou Anan glared at the other party to hide his distraction and changed his sitting position.
"Really? Then can I prepare for the next Mandarin album?"
Hearing the young boss say this, Wan Keying's eyes lit up and she asked eagerly.
Although her English albums had sold well in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Land of Sakura, and North America, with sales in North America still rising, there was not much response in mainland China.
In fact, the sales of "Jiangnanli" on the music website were higher than the sales of her album in mainland China. Wan Keying, who originally wanted to make a name for herself in her motherland, was eager to produce an excellent Mandarin album to sweep all major music charts in China.
"Your English albums are selling so well, why are you in such a hurry to release your Mandarin album? In the next few months, try to release a few English singles, get a few No. 1s, and I'll let you participate in The Singer next year."
Looking at the excited Xiaodi No. 2, Zhou Anan seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking, but directly rejected his self-planning.
Since flowers blooming inside the country are popular outside the country, Xiaodi No. 2 can definitely take the route of an international female singer. By leveraging the company's resources and getting a few number one spots on the North American music charts, she can be made into a role model for Chinese female singers to enter the international market.
At that time, let Xiaodi No. 2 return to participate in "Singer", and no one will be able to say anything.
Although this may seem like a shady operation, it is better than the previous program where an international female singer was forced to sign a contract and control the voting results behind the scenes just for the sake of gimmicks and so-called style.
“Can I participate in The Singer next year???”
After hearing the second half of the young boss's sentence, Wan Keying didn't care at all that the other party rejected her plan, and asked with surprise on her face.
If we were to ask which music variety show is the best this year, it would undoubtedly be the newly launched "Singer".
Even though Wan Keying had achieved some success and was a little proud, she still watched every episode.
Every time, she had to admit that the singers competing on stage were among the best in Chinese pop music.
Compared to those big Chinese singers, her singing skills still need a lot of improvement.
Wan Keying even planned a training plan for herself to step onto the "Singer" stage in three years based on her strength and popularity.
The young boss suddenly said that he would let her perform next year to compete with the top Chinese singers. Naturally, Wan Keying was extremely surprised and delighted.
"However, you need to strengthen your singing skills from now on."
Without answering the other party's surprised question, Zhou Anan went straight to the other party's next work focus.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Hearing the young boss's domineering decision, Wan Keying's heart trembled, and she nodded obediently in agreement.
"As for you, before the Mandarin album comes out, make two singles and test the waters on the website. Also, choose a theme song for the TV series that the company is filming recently."
Looking at Xuanzi who was looking at him hopefully next to Xiaodi No. 2, Zhou Anan briefly explained the arrangements.
Since we have met, it is fate, and we cannot favor one over the other.
What's more, Zhou Anan vaguely remembered that Xuanzi's musical talent was quite good.
The next few years will be a time when capital will dominate. Without capital support, it will be difficult to become popular relying on one's own strength.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Su Anxuan was inexplicably grateful for having more resources, as she did not expect.
She is very clear that the TV series produced by the company are all high-quality, and high ratings and good reputation are the basic skills. There are many singers in the circle who want to sing the theme song.
If we go by ability and popularity, she would definitely not be ranked among the female singers in the company.
"It's still early. Where do you want to go? I'll have someone take you there, but after tonight, you are not allowed to run around alone."
Zhou Anan looked at the time and thought it was still early and asked casually.
As for where they want to go and what the consequences will be, it depends on their understanding and choices.
"Mr. Zhou, how about we go sing karaoke?!"
Wan Keying, who had originally thought of being sent back to her agent, felt as if she had been pardoned when she heard the young boss's leniency. She excitedly shook the other's arm and made a suggestion.
"Okay, give your agent a call."
Glancing at Xiaodi No. 2, who was inexplicably excited and jumping up and down with a slight shake, Zhou Anan nodded and agreed to the other party's suggestion.
He said that this Xiaodi No. 2 has a high level of awareness and his efforts in cultivating him are worth it.
"I'll call right away."
"What, you're with Mr. Zhou???"
Sister Sang, who was waiting in a cafe on the shore, received a call from her own artist. She was struck by lightning and almost lost control of the phone in her hand.
As an agent, she naturally knows the company's rules and regulations better than her own artists.
Needless to say, allowing an artist to go on a cruise alone is a violation of the company's repeatedly emphasized policies.
The most important thing is that he was caught on the spot by the company's boss behind the scenes, so he was bound to be punished and might even face dismissal.
"Well, Xuanzi and I have both had our bonuses deducted for a quarter. Sister Sang, you may also have your bonus deducted. I'm sorry."
Glancing at the young boss who was leaning on the railing with Xuanzi enjoying the sea breeze not far away, Wan Keying apologized in a low voice.
All this was caused by her insistence on going on a cruise ship.
Compared to Xuanzi, Sister Sang suffered a huge loss.
"That's good. That's good."
Sister Sang heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that the boss behind the scenes had already made the punishment decision.
Although it is a bit painful to deduct one quarter's bonus, it is much better than being fired.
Thinking of some new systems that the company has recently implemented, Sister Sang's mind changed, and she said, "Be sure to accompany Mr. Zhou to eat and have fun."
"I know."
After listening to her agent's unnecessary words, Wan Keying hung up the phone and walked towards the two people not far away.
Perhaps the effect of the alcohol had not yet worn off, for when Zhou Anan and others arrived at the villa on Xiangdao Road in Deep Water Bay, the two sleeping girls had not yet woken up.
I don’t know what brand of wine it is, maybe he can ask the manager of Sakura Country when he has time.
How could he be that kind of person?
"Mr. Zhou, your villa is very expensive, right?"
Looking at the villa with its own garden and swimming pool in front of her, Su Anxuan asked with surprise while standing in the luxurious living room and looking around.
In this port city where every inch of land is valuable, owning a villa is the dream of countless people.
"It's not expensive, only 200 million."
After taking three bottles of water and handing over two, Zhou Anan continued, "I have asked someone to debug the equipment, and we will be able to sing soon."
Because he didn't know which villa he and Miss Wang would move into, Zhou Anan asked someone to clean the three villas he had bought before.
This money is well spent.
Since we are going to sing karaoke in this villa on Xiangdao Road, Miss Wang must have arranged it at one of the other two places.
"Two hundred million?"
Hearing the young boss's nonchalant answer, Su Anxuan and Wan Keying, who were drinking water, looked at each other and secretly smacked their lips in amazement.
Look, look, this is the real boss.
The two hundred million yuan, which they may never earn in their entire lives, sounded like two dollars for a piece of chewing gum to each other.
It seemed as if the water in the swimming pool had a golden luster.
"Don't think that 200 million is a lot. The company will have an investment opportunity for all artists. As long as you get on board, a return of several dozen times will basically not be a problem."
Seeing the gleam in the eyes of his two young female singers, Zhou Anan smiled and revealed some information to them. Anyway, he would announce the establishment of the private equity fund to everyone soon after he returned this time.
"What chance?"
Upon hearing this good news, Wan Keying approached the young boss with shining eyes and asked with her hands clasped together.
Who would dislike making money?
"Mr. Zhou, the equipment has been debugged."
At this moment, the private butler arranged by the Excalibur Guards came to report.
"Let's go and sing."
The other two girls were sleeping soundly in the guest room. Zhou Anan took her two young female singers to the luxurious private KTV in the villa.
I don’t know if it’s because she was born abroad, but Wan Keying was very outgoing. After singing just two songs, she asked her young boss to dance with her.
…
The funds have been tough in the past two days... I tried to bottom-pick halfway up the mountain, and there are always higher mountains than the last!
