The current ratio between Hong Kong dollars and RMB is approximately 1:4, which means the officially designated exchange rate is 1 RMB and 4 Hong Kong dollars. However, black market scalpers have speculated this exchange rate to 37.5 RMB exchange rate: 100 Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 3 Hong Kong dollars for 1 RMB.
There is no way that China is currently experiencing a severe shortage of foreign currency. You can only exchange a small amount of foreign currency through official channels. Therefore, many people who use foreign currency channels on the black market have made huge profits.
Even if you exchange 100,000 Hong Kong dollars from the official website, it would be 25,000 yuan. A household worth 10,000 yuan is definitely a symbol of wealth in this era. If you exchange it on the black market, you will get one-third more money.
This is also the key to Hao Yifan's words. It is not 25,000 yuan for a song, but 100,000 Hong Kong dollars for a song. This gave Yang Dongxu a lot of benefits.
"It's not about money. Don't you know if I am short of money?" Yang Dongxu shook his head.
He did plagiarize these songs out of vanity to show off, but the ultimate goal is to enter the music market in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is a big piece of cake. At the same time, he has more to gain after establishing a firm foothold in the vague market. Big plans.
This song was prepared to assist this plan, so since there is no shortage of money now, Yang Dongxu has no intention of exchanging the song for money.
"Two songs, not one. How about you write a song first?" Hao Yifan looked at Yang Dongxu pleadingly.
"Did something happen that I don't know about?" Yang Dongxu frowned. He felt that Hao Yifan was a little abnormal today.
Although Hao Yifan kept urging him to write songs in the past, he was not as anxious as he is today. As for why Hao Yifan urged him to write songs, Yang Dongxu was a little unsure.
For example, the price at which Hao Yifan sold the songs was obviously not what he paid to Yang Dongxu, which meant that he made a lot of difference from it.
Regarding this, Yang Dongxu just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know. After all, he needed to use some of Hao Yifan's channels. At the same time, he didn't care about the money. He regarded it as a favor fee for Hao Yifan.
But today the song went directly to 100,000 Hong Kong dollars per song, which is a top price in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Even if "My Chinese Heart" is a big hit now, this price is a bit exaggerated.
Therefore, if Yang Dongxu released this song to Hao Yifan, he might not make any money, and he might even have to pay some money for it. Not making money but also getting songs, this is not Hao Yifan's character that always left Yang Dongxu with the impression of a shrewd businessman.
"This... that..." Hao Yifan's eyes became a little evasive for a moment.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Yang Dongxu shrugged indifferently. Although he is curious, he is not the one who is anxious now, so there is no need to rush to ask.
"I collected other people's money in advance." After a while, Hao Yifan gritted his teeth and said.
"Why don't you just give it back to others?" Yang Dongxu glanced sideways at him.
"It's non-refundable. The other party only wants the songs, not the money. Since they paid for the songs, they won't be short of the money." Hao Yifan said with a sad face.
When Hao Yifan said this, Yang Dongxu understood that this was obviously money from the gang. The gangs in Hong Kong are really gangs. If they say they will chop you to death, they will chop you to death. They are not the simple street gangsters that Yang Dongxu used to be. What's more important is that these gangs are still legal in Hong Kong.
"They shouldn't force you like this, right?" Yang Dongxu looked at Hao Yifan carefully.
The gangs in Hong Kong are indeed overbearing. In some news of later generations, many celebrities were kidnapped for filming and even knelt down, let alone facing ordinary people. But being domineering does not mean being unruly. After all, the general environment in Hong Kong is still very stable.
Yang Dongxu didn't know what Hao Yifan was like before, but he was definitely shaking in the past two years. Otherwise, how could he, an ordinary businessman, arrange those ships and goods so smoothly?
Therefore, in the past two years, Hao Yifan used the first pot of gold he earned from the mainland to improve his social status with great vision. This is why it is so convenient to do things in Hong Kong and he can continue to make a lot of money.
Therefore, facing such people with a certain social status, even Hong Kong gangsters can do whatever they want. After all, Hao Yifan is a businessman, not a star. His status is related to real interests, and he is not a star who can act and be squeezed by others. After all, not only the job of a star, but also his wealth and life are in the hands of gangsters.
In short, Hao Yifan is no longer a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by anyone, not even gangsters. Even if it works, you still have to pay a certain price, and you can't do it just for a song.
Therefore, even if Hao Yifan took the money first, as long as he returned the money and then found a peacemaker to have a drink with him, the other party would not take it from him.
After all, given his status, he has been given so much face. No gangster is willing to offend him because of a song. There are also rules in the world, right?
So Hao Yifan must be hiding something from Yang Dongxu, otherwise as a partner he would beg Yang Dongxu to owe him a favor. In the future, he would pay more than just 100,000 Hong Kong dollars for this favor. This is not in line with his usual style as a shrewd businessman.
"This...this..." Being stared at by Yang Dongxu, panic appeared on Hao Yifan's face.
"If you don't say it, forget it. Anyway, the song doesn't exist now." Yang Dongxu guessed some possibilities in his mind, but was denied again, so he became even more curious looking at Hao Yifan's expression.
"Well... Mr. Yang, I'm sorry for you. I'm really sorry for you. You must save me." Hao Yifan suddenly collapsed and knelt in front of Yang Dongxu.
This made Yang Dongxu's expression finally change, "Let's do it and tell the story again."
"You must save me, you must save me." Hao Yifan reached out to hug Yang Dongxu's leg, but he dodged it.
"Tell me what happened, or get out of here." Yang Dongxu was really angry.
For a moment, he couldn't think of why Hao Yifan was apologizing to himself, but this matter was obviously related to him, and it might be serious, so Yang Dongxu was now a little anxious to know what happened.
"I said, I said..." Hearing the anger in Yang Dongxu's words, especially when he met those gloomy eyes, Hao Yifan was really anxious. If Yang Dongxu didn't help him this time, he would really go back. Hacked to death.
It's not complicated, it's very simple to say. After helping Yang Dongxu buy three songs and achieving good results, Hao Yifan also gained some status in the music world. Therefore, many starlets jumped on him, and several of them slept with him, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Therefore, he was naturally not satisfied with being just an agent, so he did not change Yang Dongxu's stage name 'Xiaoxu' because it would be easy to cause trouble. The song was famous and reported in newspapers, right?
But he put all the songs that Yang Dongxu asked him to sell under his own name, which means that Xiaoxu, the lyricist and composer, is no longer Yang Dongxu, but Hao Yifan.
There is naturally a huge gap between agents and talented creators. One is a part-time worker, while the other is the master. So after he released the news, there were even more starlets who wanted to be famous around him.
But there is no one who doesn’t get his shoes wet when he often walks by the river. If Yang Dongxu occasionally came up with a song or two before, he could still cope with it and continue to pretend. Now Yang Dongxu has not written songs for three months, and he even plans to not write songs for even longer, which will cost him his life.
Of course, those little stars are easy to get rid of, so it’s okay not to give Ge Ge some extra money. He has the capital now. But this time he gave a guarantee to someone who couldn't afford to offend him.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he gives a guarantee. At worst, he can drink wine to apologize like Yang Dongxu thought. He still has some face in Hong Kong and can fool him.
What's the most important thing about being a gangster? Money, power and face. He took the money, ate the food, and even slept with several famous female celebrities arranged for him. If all these could be solved by drinking wine and making amends.
He is clearly just an agent, but why does it mean that he is the original author of the lyrics? Treating people like fools, let alone the gang boss, even those friends who have a good relationship with Hao Yifan are not ashamed of him at all.
Whether you are in the world or doing business, reputation is very important. You actually fooled others, so what you didn't say about this matter cannot be solved by simply apologizing.
The reason why things that were well concealed in the past are revealed, has something to do with Hao Yifan being a little obsessed and self-aggrandizing. He fell in love with a famous female star, so he used his previous hook-up method of writing songs to fulfill his long-cherished wish and became a groom, which was very satisfying.
This female star is not something he could get away with by just giving some money to the little stars he used to play with, and he hasn't had enough of it yet, or he is in the process of being obsessed with it, and he doesn't want to leave this female star.
So several times when the pillow wind blew up and he couldn't get the songs from Yang Dongxu, Hao Yifan had to find a gunman to write them. This kind of thing is very common in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Not only songwriters and composers, there are many singers who spend money to buy songs and claim that they are their own original works.
But if you want good quality songs, it’s so easy to buy them? If you could easily buy high-quality songs from those gunmen, it proves that they have great talents and would have become popular a long time ago. How could they still remain unknown?
If you find a great lyricist with quality, the probability of good songs with quality is much higher. But how can someone be a shooter for you when they are already famous? This is not a matter of money. Since he is a great songwriter and is not short of money, if this matter is exposed, you will ruin his job, right?
Just when Hao Yifan was worried and wanted to spend a lot of money to buy a gunman, it was revealed that he had hired the gunman to write lyrics. Some of his colleagues who had previously disliked him jumped out and said that he was a liar, that he did not write those songs, and that all the songs were written by gunmen.
If you don't say that colleagues are enemies, Hao Yifan's biggest secret was revealed by this colleague. But that's okay. Although the reputation is a bit unpleasant, it doesn't mean that everyone will shout and kill.
But at this time, another news came out, saying that the song in Hao Yifan's hand was not written by the gunman, but a songwriter from the mainland took the song out and sold it to Hao Yifan as an agent. Not only did Hao Yifan monopolize these songs, he even paid less than one-tenth of the money to the original creators of the songs.
