Truly a pair well-matched in treachery, each more deceitful than the last.

—————–

MAS Office of the President, Director Cheng is receiving a long-awaited guest.

He is genuinely busy.

“Miss Gu, I started with MCN, you can think of it as a service agency for internet celebrities, whether in America or in Hua Country, I have my MCN companies.

Ailing previously signed with an agency with a Hollywood background, which does not quite match her attributes.

She is a professional athlete.

If she signed with a sports agency, that would be normal, but it wouldn’t fully tap into her value.

So, I am your best choice, what do you think?”

Actually, at the beginning of January, his staff had already contacted Miss Gu’s mother.

But Miss Gu had been busy accompanying her daughter in winter training and had no time to talk, so it had been delayed until now.

“Director Cheng, I know your Shanhaiguan and MAS are influential MCNs in the industry, just that your commercial resources seem a bit…well, I am not saying you’re bad, just if my daughter wins at the Winter Olympics, then she would…”

Miss Gu is not very articulate, after all, she’s just a middle-aged woman.

Even though her daughter is outstanding, she inevitably lacks communication skills, especially in negotiations.

“Hahaha, I understand, I understand what you mean.”

“Here’s the thing, MAS and Shanhaiguan both have a specialized ‘Ice and Snow Talent’ marketing department, mainly responsible for marketing skiing-related internet celebrities.

In this niche field, we’ve captured the marketing highlights of the 20-year Winter Olympics and have prepared in advance.

On the other hand, as we discussed earlier, Ailing’s penalty for breach of contract is 3.4 million Dollars.

If breaking the contract doesn’t go smoothly, I can cover that penalty.

Of course, regarding the commercial resources, I understand your viewpoint, but you have to realize, Ailing hasn’t truly won yet; evaluating the quality of commercial resources at this point is a bit premature.

Considering Ailing’s interests, well, I think our signing conditions are already very generous.”

Magnanimity and grand promises, see how generous Director Cheng is.

The emphasis here is ‘the signing conditions are very generous’.

Miss Gu is still hesitant because what Director Cheng describes is indeed very generous.

“The signing bonus satisfies me, but I want to clarify one more time, this contract lasts three years, and after three years we can terminate it without any conditions, what does ‘without any conditions’ actually mean?”

People might wonder why Miss Gu is quibbling over the term ‘without any conditions’, but it’s quite a normal question as ‘no conditions’ can be very ambiguous in business contracts.

“Haha, I understand now, Miss Gu, MAS and Shanhaiguan are not focused on profiting from just one individual.

I have signed more than three hundred ice and snow talents which cover seven or eight countries and regions, including Europe, Asia, North America, and South America.

This large number of talents handles marketing in a collective manner, engaging in commerce, so I’m confident to let go if any collaborator gets a good development opportunity.

Imagine, if Ailing wins, we earn more; if Ailing doesn’t win, under our operation, due to her topicality and unique traits, she can also achieve great rewards.

Why I say that agency with Hollywood background isn’t suitable for her, here’s something you might not like to hear, but we must consider — if she doesn’t win, what’s her next step?”

What Director Cheng didn’t mention yet is the signing bonus—one million Dollars, which by itself is very generous and the real reason Miss Gu came today.

“Ding!”

Miss Gu is still hesitating when Director Cheng’s phone rings.

“Hello, Domo?”

Watching Director Cheng on the phone, Miss Gu is still indecisive.

She doesn’t know if changing her daughter’s signing agency is the right or wrong decision, this choice is so crucial, providing her with great psychological pressure.

“Yes, the name is Joel Dracula Institute, named after Wolf’s father.”

“Hahahaha, the old Joel is not dead yet.

He’s just bedridden and can’t move; don’t talk nonsense.”

“We’re not short of money; we put 5 million, Wolf contributes 10 million, and Magnus, out of gratitude, has also added 5 million.

That’s 20 million total, enough to operate the institute for two or three years.”

“Yes, that’s right, Joel Research Institute is really just a think tank, nothing special about it, no need to splurge; we are friends, I wouldn’t deceive you.”

“The office space is already set up within a Dracula Group property.”

“I understand, but that’s too polite, Domo, perhaps you should talk to your father first?”

“Alright, but we still have to pay rent, business is business.”

“Ah, look at you, spending two million a year, and then renting out such a large space to the institute for two million, what is this, going in circles to increase the National Tax Bureau’s revenue?”

“Alright, yeah, definitely next time, I’ve just been too busy recently.”

Director Cheng hangs up the phone, and his opinion of the old Crusoe quietly goes up by a notch.

This old fox has a keen sense of smell; as soon as the structure of Joel Research Institute was set, he smelled an opportunity to join the table.

His message is clear — I’m at the table with you; whatever you’re eating, include me!

“So, Miss Gu, how about your consideration?”
