Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 347 The Big Event of the Ueda Family

   Qiu Yuankang and Tao Zhiming chatted for a while, and they felt that they were particularly appetizing.

   Because Qiu Yuankang himself is a person who thinks about the entertainment market and is good at innovation. As for Tao Zhiming, with his advanced knowledge, coupled with the fact that he has already achieved fame at such a young age, in Qiu Yuankang's eyes, his reputation is even more well-deserved.

   He asked Kawai Sonoko and Kudo Shizuka to go to WanderDance's recording studio first, let Nakamura Keiji see their skills, and then chatted with Tao Zhiming about very specific things.

"President Tao, we also have a co-producer in the agency we founded before. He has lost interest and confidence in idol stars. Therefore, before disbanding, we must first let these active singers have a place to go. …”

  Tao Zhiming smiled: "I understand that through the final contract transfer, I hope there will be a return."

   Akimoto Yasushi smiled shyly.

Tao Zhiming asked: "Qiu Yuan-kun, you have indeed paid a lot to cultivate them. You should be confident in bringing these two girls here today. They meet the needs of WanderDance, right? Then, you and the producer treat them well. How much do you want to transfer out of the contract?”

Akimoto Yasushi said seriously: "Let's talk about Sonoko first. Her first single was once ranked No. 1 on ORICON's weekly chart. At the end of the previous year, she also released her own solo album for the first time, and she also successfully held her own solo concert. . Last year's single as the last member of the Kitten Club, with a total annual sales of more than 300,000 copies. This year's album is now also at No. 6 on the ORICON album chart!"

  Tao Zhiming looked at him with a smile, but did not speak.

   Kawai Sonoko is a bit like Sakai Izumi. Although she debuted as an idol, she is quite persistent in music.

   She quite resists being a pure idol.

   Kudo Shizuka is different, she is quite wild in the idol group, and her later fame is not comparable to Kawai Sonoko.

After listening to Qiu Yuankang blowing Kudo Shizuka again, Tao Zhiming asked with a smile: "Both of them are singers who have already achieved quite a lot, so they are not newcomers. They have paid so much, and now not only do they have to disband the Kitten Club, but also the office does not. Are you ready to do it?"

Akimoto Yasushi sighed: "It was still affected by Nakamori Akina's turmoil and subsequent discussions. In fact, I don't think it's a bad thing, at least it's more famous. But he has always felt the style I packaged, including the style of the lyrics. Very worried. It would be too difficult if I was alone to support it."

"Qiu Yuanjun's share of the firm's shares is not high?" Tao Zhiming understood, he still wanted to continue, even if the show was discontinued, the kitten club could not continue, but the solo singer could still continue to operate of. It's just that if it is someone else's money and the right to speak is greater, then he has nothing to do.

   "...Yeah, I account for 25%." After all, Qiu Yuanyao is not yet 30 years old. In the neon where he is very senior, although he can do things beautifully, he is still unable to gain control.

  Tao Zhiming knew in his mind: "The specific thing is that Qiu Yuan-kun is busy. So if these two are transferred to WanderDance, can Qiu Yuan-kun be the master of the cost?"

   Qiu Yuankang nodded, then hesitantly said: "If President Tao is optimistic about my model, you can also consider talking to him directly and simply buy his shares..."

Tao Zhiming waved his hand: "Then there's no need. Since the TV station has decided to stop the show, the Kitten Club can't go on, and many of its members don't actually have that much potential. Why should I buy the entire firm? Qiu Yuan Wouldn’t it be better for Jun to bring the team to a new platform and continue to do it? If the artist affairs are separated out, I can leave 30% of the shares for Qiu Yuan-jun.”

   Qiu Yuankang understood, nodded and said, "I can decide the cost of the transfer."

   The two began to talk about a very specific price. This small amount of money was no pressure on Tao Zhiming. Moreover, the two people brought over from Qiu Yuankang also showed that he had a very unique vision for artists.

   But what Tao Zhiming valued more was Qiu Yuankang.

   Yabo Origuchi is only good at the management of places such as dance halls. Keiji Nakamura and the others are only skilled workers in this industry. At present WanderDance, only Tao Zhiming can be responsible for the artist. And he has a lot of affairs. Although Sakai Quan Shui and the others are already well-known, WanderDance has not released albums or shows frequently, which is an anomaly in the industry.

  Tao Zhiming is also taking advantage of the times now. First, his size is already huge. Second, Qiu Yuankang's appetite at this time is not large. Third, the concept of the so-called "risk investment" in this era has not yet spread. Otherwise, Qiu Yuankang at this moment might be talking about letting him invest and giving him 20% or something.

   By the way, there is another good point: after the neon bubble burst, the idol industry has been in a downturn for a long time. Throughout the 1990s, Qiu Yuankang was silent.

   For such a long time, using his talents well, Tao Zhiming can save a lot of worry in the artist training and management of WanderDance.

   In the end, Tao Zhiming only paid a total of 75 million yen to transfer the contract relationship between Kawai Sonoko and Kudo Shizuka to WanderDance.

   It's 500,000 yuan. Of course, this "transfer fee" can't be considered low. But Kawai Sonoko and Kudo Shizuka can start making money for the company as soon as they come, and they are indeed two good seedlings. Tao Zhiming is not only confident in the future, but also wants to sell well to Akimoto Yasushi.

   Let him get together with his former partners, and he can also have a sum of money in his hand to inject capital into the artist club that WanderDance spun off to get the shares that Tao Zhiming promised him.

  Tao Zhiming talked with him about this and said, "Qiu Yuan-kun, please finish the current affairs as soon as possible. Come to my side, there are many things to do."

Qiu Yuankang stood up and bowed: "I admire Mr. President's understanding of the entertainment industry. When dealing with current affairs, I will do my best to come up with a plan for the future, so as to live up to Mr. President. expectations.”

  Tao Zhiming smiled and walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm really looking forward to it."

   The plans that Akimoto Yasushi can come up with at this time are inseparable from the shackles of the times. But let him make a plan with his heart first, and then put forward his own opinions and suggestions when he comes, which is also a means to further deter him.

   You have to let him know that he does not lack good ideas at all, but only people who can do things. And if he can do things well and get enough returns, he has sufficient reasons to stay under his own banner.

   Kawai Sonoko and Kudo Shizuka were also called over, and Akimoto Yasushi said to them with a smile: "No need to be distracted by the future. Your new contract will be signed with WanderDance. Say hello to President Tao."

   Kawai Sonoko and Kudo Shizuka looked at Tao Zhiming together, the former had surprise in his eyes and was timidly reserved; Kudo Shizuka was more open, blinking his eyes and smiling cutely.

   "Please take care of the president in the future."

  Tao Zhiming nodded indifferently, and then said: "I heard that there is a final disbanding concert to be organized. After this is done, let's concentrate on new work."

   So Tao Zhiming went to WanderDance and went back to the 7th floor, Maehara Kyumina had one more thing to do.

   The splitting of the WanderDance business involves a lot of financial work.

   Fortunately, they are all under the banner of Tao Zhiming, and the major shares are on his head. What I talked to Daiki Suzuki at the beginning belonged to his interests, and it was originally limited to the distribution of operating profits in places such as dance halls; Yabo Origuchi took a share in WanderDance. This WanderStar belongs to WanderDance, and he also has a small share. Profits can be distributed, but there is one less thing to manage that he is not familiar with.

   Mina Maehara arrived at WanderDance, after all, she is the chief financial officer of the head office. WanderDance's independent finance team worked closely with her on financial audits.

  WanderDance will be in business for a year soon. Those rear-projection TV prototypes ordered by the Hokkaido Music Festival were installed in the lobby and several large boxes of WanderDance in one go, taking the experience to a new level. It is estimated that by the end of one year, the total business turnover will exceed 10 billion yen. After all, it is now the peak season.

   A dance hall can earn nearly 3 billion yen in net profit a year, and Kinoshita Xiufeng is convinced now.

  Tao Zhiming held another meeting with the architectural design club under Sumitomo, and when he returned to the Pan Tao Club, he saw that Maehara Mina was still busy there.

   "WanderDance's split plan?" Tao Zhiming walked up to her and sat down.

"Yeah. Since we are going to split up the artist affairs, we will actually have to redesign the holding structure." Maehara Kyu Mina seems to be much more capable than at the time. Lots of different types of things.

  Tao Zhiming nodded: "Then wait for you to make the plan first, and then I will adjust it."

Seeing that she was still busy there, and she didn't do anything else because she came back at this time, Tao Zhiming squeezed her chin lightly, and said, "When the few things at hand are finished, I will probably have to do it in October. Take a trip abroad, Miguo, Idali, and Xiangdao, you will come with me then."

   Maehara Mina was overjoyed and nodded.

  Tao Zhiming smiled: "rest first, and continue tomorrow."

   Among the four women that Tao Zhiming has maintained a stable relationship with now, apart from Hoshino Suzu, who wants nothing, Mina Maehara has received the least benefits. In fact, she is doing the most tedious work, and there are not even a few helpers who can be trusted enough.

  Today he stayed in the club building. After she was content to hug her softly, Tao Zhiming asked: "Shengu Lizi lives with you, what do you think of her during this period of time?"

   "Pear?" Mina Maehara moved in her heart, "Although her expression is always flat, she is meticulous in her work. If there is anything special, it is to be very cautious..."

  Tao Zhiming remembered his previous impression of her, and always felt that with her personality, she should have undergone some severe training before showing the M side.

So he said: "You do need more help. No matter how cautious she is, you can test her and mention it to her. If you help her make suggestions to me, let her come here from No. 1 Persuasion Bank. Is she willing to come to work?"

   "Do you know anything about her?" Maehara Mina changed his expression again, "How should I try? What should I pay attention to?"

  Tao Zhiming thought that of course he knew something, and he had a deep understanding: "I just think that if I work here, I should be happier than she is in the First Quanye Bank."

"…I understand."

   Early the next morning, Tao Zhiming left first, ready to go home to see Hoshino Suzu and the children.

   And halfway through, he received a phone call from Ueda Xana, the voice was very pleasant: "Dalang...I may...Is it successful?"

   "What?" Tao Zhiming didn't react for a while.

   "It's been a month, and it's been two days, two days! That hasn't come yet!"

   Tao Zhiming was happy, and he also emphasized that two days had passed, and only two days had passed.

   But this is indeed a possible good news, Tao Zhiming said immediately: "In this way, I will pick you up later, and then go to the hospital to check."

  The Ueda family has been worried by this possible good news. Ueda Masahiro is okay and can barely hold it, but Ueda Haruko has already made her daughter the focus of her care.

"You have to be very careful, and it's hard to adjust your body. The first few months are very important." Haruko Ueda urged, and then wandered around the room for a while before saying, "I'm going to buy something special. Ingredients!"

   "Mom, I'm not sure yet!" Ueda Xana seemed to return to the feeling when he was a very young girl and was treated as a baby by his parents. He was overjoyed and worried, "If I go to check it out..."

   "Definitely yes, you are already very regular now." Ueda Haruko looked very determined, and then suddenly said, "No, I want to accompany you to the hospital for examination."

   Ueda Masahiro saw his wife walking in front of him and said, "I'll tell you which ones to buy, will you buy them back?"

   Then frowned immediately and said, "No, you don't know how to buy ingredients."

   Ueda Masahiro was stunned, thinking that I did not buy it.

   "Wouldn't it be enough to make a phone call and have someone deliver it?" Ueda Masahiro thought to himself that others would send the Ueda's food for errands.

   Ueda Haruko suddenly realized: "Yes! Yes! You still have a way!"

   After he finished speaking, he leaned forward and kissed him on the face, and then excitedly walked over to the phone.

   Ueda Masahiro was pampered, did this woman become stupid with joy?

   He actually wanted to know the results as soon as possible, but he coughed and said to his daughter, "After the test results come out, make a phone call to the gym, I'll go first."

   Ueda Xana nodded, then began to worry again, and when her mother came back, she asked, "If it's a girl... what should I do?"

   Ueda Haruko was also stunned, of course it doesn't matter, but this also involves the agreement between her husband and Dalang...

   She was only stunned in her heart, and immediately smiled and comforted: "It's okay, the girl is fine too..."

   Tao Zhiming, who arrived at Ueda's house after going home first, was amused when he heard this worry: "I don't know the result. Besides, if it's a girl, it's fine, would I care about that?"

   Ueda Xana pursed his mouth, of course you don't care, anyway, someone will give birth to you.

Tao Zhiming looked at Ueda Haruko, and said embarrassingly: "If you are a daughter, you will be spoiled like a princess. Moreover, if she is really pregnant, it means that her body is well nourished, and there will be a second and a third. Mother, the more children the better, right?"

   Ueda Haruko smiled and nodded, pinching Ueda Xana's hand: "Don't worry too much, have you forgotten the doctor's advice?"

   The director of the hospital, who had just sent Hoshino Suzu's mother and son out of the hospital not long ago, saw Tao Zhiming bring someone over to check whether she was pregnant or not. This time, it was his most well-known fiancee, the eldest lady of the Ueda family.

   He didn't know if this Miss Ueda knew, anyway, he pretended not to know.

The results of the    test came out soon, and the doctor in charge of the test said with a smile: "From the results of the blood test, it is indeed a sign of pregnancy. Of course, if you want to be fully confirmed, it will take some time."

   Ueda Xana asked anxiously, "Is that a boy or a girl?"

   This sentence made the doctor confused, and after a while, he said, "How can you be sure now?"
