"I knew you would make the right choice." Li Ziheng said with a bright smile.
In fact, he had no idea before today. After all, Ye Ning was different from other people, and even he couldn't guess what she was thinking.
"But I still have a few requirements regarding the contract."
Ye Ning went straight to the point.
"Okay, you say it." Li Ziheng agreed readily, then picked up paper and pen and prepared to record them one by one. He was obviously mentally prepared for this.
"First, I need to have the rights to select songs for tape recording."
Ye Ning just said the first one, which made Li Ziheng slightly stunned.
Their company all has regular collaborators with composers, and the company has the final say on what songs the singer releases. If Ye Ning is agreed to this, it means that in the future, as long as it is a song that Ye Ning is not satisfied with, it will not be used.
It's definitely decentralization, which is definitely not good for them.
"Comrade Ye Ning, don't you believe in our expertise?"
"I trust my own judgment more. You also know that I can also compose music. As for what kind of songs are suitable for me, no one should know me better than myself, right? And what if you let me sing some random songs? But I don’t even have the right to refuse, so wouldn’t that mean I’m being manipulated by others?”
Ye Ning said it quite straightforwardly. She knew that Li Ziheng was a smart man.
There is no need to beat around the bush when talking to smart people.
Li Ziheng subconsciously retorted: "How could we let you sing messy songs?"
"Of course not now, but who can say what will happen in the future. So I need to have the right to choose the songs. If this is not possible, then there will be no need to talk about it later." Ye Ning's attitude was very determined.
Li Ziheng frowned and also questioned, "Then if you exclude all the good songs based on your own preferences, it will be a huge loss for us."
Ye Ning smiled, "Cooperation is based on mutual trust. If I guard against you and you question me, then naturally there is no need for cooperation."
Li Ziheng was speechless for a moment.
Ye Ning was not impatient and gave him time to think.
After all, she had already agreed to sign to them for three years, so there was no reason why they wouldn't give in even a cent.
Sure enough, three or four minutes later, Li Ziheng said, "Okay, I can agree to this."
Ye Ning got the expected result and continued to tell the second condition.
"If there is a conflict between my job and your job, priority will be given to my work in the art troupe."
"How to define this? Just like we have to do important publicity interviews for you here, and you have the job of performing on stage in the cultural troupe, shouldn't the cultural troupe be the main one?" Li Ziheng raised objections. After all, this scope is very real. It's too broad.
Ye Ning replied seriously: "If it's the situation you mentioned, of course you need to conduct a publicity interview first. I will decide which side to choose based on the priorities of both sides. Since I agree to cooperate with you, I also sincerely do so. There is no reason to ignore a promising future."
Li Ziheng felt a little more comfortable after hearing what she said.
"I can trust you."
"Article 3..."
"What else?" Li Ziheng really had a headache.
This woman is so shrewd that she has calculated everything.
Ye Ning completely ignored his helplessness, "Third, it's about the income I get from releasing songs."
Li Ziheng's expression gradually became serious.
The contract clearly states that during the three years of signing the contract with Ye Ning, in addition to paying her the corresponding salary for releasing songs, she will also be given an additional salary every month.
Although the amount of money is not large, it is definitely enough for her personal living expenses.
In other words, in addition to the salary from the art troupe, she will also get this part of the income, which is something that many people can only dream of.
But what Ye Ning said next made Li Ziheng look shocked.
"I don't want the fixed monthly salary."
This was the first time he encountered someone who gave money without asking for it, unless he was not clear-headed.
"I only need the remuneration I get from my work. As for when there is no work, we will not interfere with each other." Ye Ning thought very clearly. If you take other people's money, you will be controlled by them.
Of course she would not put such shackles on herself.
There was no reason why Li Ziheng wouldn't agree to this. Three years' salary was a huge expense. Since Ye Ning took the initiative, it must be the best.
Just as he was about to nod, Ye Ning's next words came out smoothly.
"I only want the salary from the song release and the commission from the tape release. Of course, if there are any other activities in the future, I will take 60%."
"..."
Li Ziheng froze in his seat for an instant, staring straight at Ye Ning, even wondering if there was something wrong with his ears?
She said it was normal to be paid for releasing songs.
And what does commission on tape releases mean?
And 60% of the proceeds from all future activities?
Doesn't this mean that for every penny earned from her, six cents should be given to her?
They signed her, built her, and promoted her in order to make her bring benefits to the company. In this way, the entire audio and video publishing house became working for her.
So is she kidding?
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
This time Li Ziheng's reaction was extremely strong, and he even refused emotionally.
Ye Ning's expression remained unchanged, and she also expected his reaction to this news.
After Li Ziheng's mood calmed down a little, she said calmly: "Director Li, the value I can bring to your company is absolutely huge. I just want to get 60% of these benefits." That’s it. Some things are completely immeasurable with money. If today’s contract cannot be completed, you won’t even get the remaining 40%.”
I want to get her value, but I don't want to share it with her as the client. How can such a good thing happen?
Li Ziheng's eyebrows were knotted. This is true, but no matter before or in the future, I'm afraid there will never be such a contract condition.
In their cooperative relationship, the audio and video publishing house should be the one who takes the initiative, but Ye Ning is really the one who takes the initiative.
"This is unreasonable! Take tape distribution as an example. In addition to the singer singing and recording, there are many follow-up procedures. From the production cost of the tape to the distribution cost, to the profits dispersed to various distributions, do you think a How much more can you make from a cassette tape?”
