Chapter 408: Chapter 408 Sign a Long-term Contract_1

Now it was JAY’s agent who was dumbstruck. He was a bit regretful inside.

Did he set the price too low...?

However, he must be a man of his word. Of course, it wouldn’t be good for him to back out now. He forced a smile on his face, raised his thumb, and praised, "Manager Wang is indeed straightforward! Well...cheers to our cooperation!"

Actually, JAY himself felt a bit embarrassed, sensing that his agent was asking for too much.

He intervened and said, "Manager Wang, you are too polite. It’s a lot of money just for singing a song, I feel like it’s a bit exorbitant. How about this, I’ll also act as your company’s image spokesperson."

His agent wished he could silence him right then and there!

This silly boy, who negotiates business deals like this...?

Wang Ye chuckled, nodded, and said, "That’s a good idea. Let’s sign a long-term contract then. You’ll be our image spokesperson for our company in the Asia-Pacific region for ten years, and I’ll give you an additional 5 million CNY!"

At this, both JAY and his agent were overjoyed.

It’s not easy getting a brand spokesperson contract!

In fact, for celebrities, being a spokesperson is one of the fastest ways to make money in business contracts, and there’s none other like it!

Typically, such contracts offer a lot of money, and there’s not much work to do.

Under normal circumstances, they just have to show their face in the brand’s advertisements once a year, attend some press conferences, and it’s relatively easy.

But they could directly earn a large spokesperson fee, why wouldn’t they take it!

The two of them nodded at the same time, eagerly saying, "Sure, no problem!"

Wang Ye has effectively spent 6 million CNY to secure the company’s spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region for the next ten years, and he is the hottest star at the moment!

This amount of money for the Xiao Ying Group is just a drop in the bucket...

After discussing their collaboration, both parties were short on time, and the advertisement was about to be launched.

Therefore, Liu Mei arranged for her assistant to liaise with JAY’s side and took them to a pre-prepared recording studio to start recording songs.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye stayed behind to continue discussing business with Liu Mei.

...

After JAY and his group left, Liu Mei, slightly intrigued, asked Wang Ye, "Manager Wang, do you really see so much potential in this young singer? Our company has such a high publicity budget, can’t we find any other big-name stars? Having him as the image spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region, isn’t that..."

Clearly, Liu Mei did not think highly of JAY at present and felt that he was not qualified to be the company’s image spokesperson!

You should know that there are currently more than 80 million US dollars in the accounts of their division!

If converted to CNY, that’s about 700 million!

Can’t we just use a few million or tens of millions to invite a top-tier celebrity to be a spokesperson...?

Wang Ye just laughed. Of course, he couldn’t tell Liu Mei that in a few years...

No, not even a few years. JAY will be a sensation throughout the country in just a few months!

Spending 6 million CNY for him to sing the advertisement theme song and serve as the image spokesperson for ten years can be considered a real bargain!

Naturally, Wang Ye is not the type to exploit every small advantage, nor is he unwilling to spend money.

But considering JAY’s current status, this price is indeed reasonable.

As for the future, Wang Ye might compensate him in other ways, as long as the cooperation goes smoothly...

"I’ve heard his songs, and I’m optimistic about his future development. Perhaps he could be the next superstar in the music world!" Wang Ye said with a meaningful look.

Seeing Wang Ye’s firm belief, Liu Mei naturally had no further doubts.

When it comes to judging people, she knows she’s definitely not as keen as Wang Ye, who has built such a successful business in just one year. Meanwhile, she has been striving for decades, and has only achieved minor successes...

That’s the difference!

During the negotiation with JAY and his agent, Wang Ye did not reveal his true identity.

Or rather, he told them his "real" identity, but did not inform them of his "Russian identity"!

That is to say, in JAY’s eyes, Wang Ye is simply "Wang Ye", not knowing that Wang Ye is also "Mikhail"...

Also, when introducing himself, Wang Ye simply said he was in charge of a branch, responsible for business in the Asia-Pacific region.

Of course, JAY and his agent didn’t pay much attention to Wang Ye’s identity. As long as the contract was signed and sealed with the corporate seal, and the money was in place, that was all that mattered!

...

The work went smoother than expected, so Wang Ye decided not to stay in the capital any longer.

He planned to drive home the next day. Needless to say, he had been away from his hometown for a year...

No, actually, Wang Ye had been away from his hometown for quite a long time!

His emotions were a bit mixed at the moment.

Does he feel shy about returning home?

Maybe a bit.

Is he eager to return home?

Yes, he is...

Thankfully, he had spent a long time mentally preparing for this homecoming.

He had carefully considered all the possible scenarios and prepared corresponding solutions.

...

In the afternoon while discussing work with Liu Mei, Wang Ye asked Liu Mei to have someone help him with a task.

After so many years in the capital, Liu Mei did have some connections. She couldn’t handle big issues, but small ones were no problem.

Fortunately, what Wang Ye asked her to do wasn’t a significant task.

He asked Liu Mei to arrange for someone to source him several cases of Moutai liquor, specifically the fifty three-degree Feitian Moutai, twelve bottles per case!

In the year 2002, a bottle of Moutai cost just over three hundred. Of course, getting the real deal wasn’t easy...

At that time, fake liquor and cigarettes were everywhere!

Thinking you could buy genuine Moutai at the local liquor shop was just a dream!

That’s why Wang Ye had asked Liu Mei to get him a few genuine cases of Moutai, plus a pack of Chungwa cigarettes!

After all, he was going home for the New Year, and considering Wang Ye’s current status as a "student studying abroad", his parents would certainly make him visit relatives and friends according to hometown customs!

Visiting relatives obviously required gifts.

Wang Ye simply prepared gifts for the family visits in advance. A couple bottles of Moutai and couple packs of Chungwa cigarettes should suffice, right?

It saves his parents the trouble of buying things like milk, instant noodles, and sausages.

Although they seem like a lot, they’re actually not worth much money...

......

Liu Mei was very efficient. By the time they went for Peking duck dinner in the evening,

She received a call, and then cheerfully told Wang Ye, "Manager Wang, your order has been arranged. There are four cases of Feitian Moutai, each with twelve bottles, and a pack of fifty Chungwa cigarettes. They’re all in the trunk of your Mercedes Benz. The car has also been delivered to the hotel. I had someone thoroughly inspect and maintain it. You can drive it directly tomorrow."

That Mercedes Benz, ever since it was bought, no one has touched it by Liu Mei’s orders.

Because she knew that it was prepared for Wang Ye himself. Although it had been purchased more than two months ago, it was still a brand-new car, with the mileage not even reaching one hundred!
