Chapter 112 Gaining a confidant
"Qin Xi, Qin Xi, you are so generous! You can make the decision on such a big matter just by yourself? The salary for [The Biography of Yan Qing] is your highest income so far, which is more than 20 million! What on earth are you thinking?!"
Sister Meng was so anxious that she was spinning around in circles, she was extremely angry.
"I usually spoil you too much and let you make all the decisions on your own. You really think you are the boss! The boss of our company is Mr. Song! I am just your executive agent. You are now the most popular and commercially valuable artist in Meige. Your salary involves the company's huge interests, and I can't make the decision!"
Sister Meng became even more angry when she saw Qin Xi sitting on the sofa calmly.
"How can you still be so calm?! Don't forget, your current commission ratio with the company is still 3:7! Although your current development has far exceeded the company's expectations, President Song has previously revealed to me that he wants to sign a supplementary agreement with you to change the commission ratio to 5:50, but even if it is changed, it is still more than 10 million! Are you going to pay the company more than 10 million?!"
Sister Meng was so dry-mouthed when she spoke that Qin Xi still didn't seem to be interested. She was so angry that she sat down on the sofa.
"I can't control you anymore, go talk to Mr. Song yourself!"
Qin Xi quickly handed the thermos cup to Sister Meng, "Sister Meng, don't be so excited, drink some water to moisten your throat first, and listen to me..."
Qin Xi began to speak, "Sister Meng, since I entered the industry, you have been guiding me for so many years..."
Sister Meng ruthlessly interrupted and exposed, "It's only been three years. You're only 22 years old. Where do you get so many years?"
Qin Xi thought to himself, oh, he included his past life in this, and tried to make amends.
"Isn't three years long enough? Sister Meng, we have been together for three years. You should know my personality. Am I such a fool? I used my film pay to invest in the company. I had my own considerations..."
Sister Meng's expression eased for a moment, but then she immediately became alert, "Don't play the emotional card. What are your considerations? Tell me more!"
Qin Xi continued to speak calmly, "Sister Meng, please be patient and listen to me. My situation is just like starting a company, it's a technology investment. Although there is no immediate income, let's take a long-term view. As long as [The Biography of Yan Qing] is broadcast well, the copyright income will be continuous, not to mention some peripheral channel income. After a few years, the value of this will be highlighted, which must be much more considerable than the current one-time pay!"
"That's easy for you to say, but the premise is that [The Biography of Yan Qing] can really be as popular as you expected. The risk is too great..."
Qin Xi smiled confidently, "High risk leads to high returns, Sister Meng, I still say the same thing, we have been together for three years, and I always make decisions after careful consideration. If I do, I will either not make a move or I will make it to the expected level."
"The four dramas that have aired so far have proven that my success rate is 100%. If my previous decisions had not been successful, I would not have the courage and capital to make decisions for myself now!"
"I have already thought about the company part. After the broadcast of [Lone Eagle] and [Wanqiu Xing], I have received many business invitations. I can accept any suitable ones. In addition, I previously invested in 'Chuanxiang Food Carving' and now I have also received some income. All in all, it is enough to compensate for the salary of [The Legend of Yan Qing]!"
Sister Meng looked at Qin Xi with pity and helplessness, "I know you have a good vision, and you are where you are today because of yourself. But how can I not worry? People make mistakes, and horses stumble. In this circle, if you take a wrong step, you may very likely lose everything. The cost of silence is too high..."
Although Meng Jie is only 10 years older than Qin Xi, the deep relationship they have built over the past few years has made Meng Jie unable to help but regard Qin Xi as her own child. No one knows better than Meng Jie how much effort Qin Xi has put in over the past three years and how hard it has been to get to where she is today. Meng Jie really doesn't want Qin Xi to take too many risks.
Everything that happened in his past life was vivid in Qin Xi's mind, and he suddenly smiled.
"Life is full of risks and challenges, but in the entertainment industry, the risks and challenges are greater. I'm only 22 years old. If I don't fight and make a breakthrough now, when will I?"
"What I have now is far more than I imagined. It's okay to fail. Brother Di Shen said something very good: life is like a journey against the tide, and difficulties are what make people better. So I have nothing to fear. I just hope that for all the choices I make in this life, I will not regret it in the future..."
Qin Xi held Sister Meng's hand and looked at her expectantly.
"Sister Meng, I trust you just like I trust myself, so I also hope that you can trust me as much as you trust yourself!"
Sister Meng shook her head helplessly. She felt that if Qin Xi engaged in MLM, she would definitely be successfully promoted to the leader of MLM. Qin Xi had such beautiful eyes and a clever mouth that not only would men be attracted to her, but even a strong professional woman like Sister Meng would be bewitched by her.
"What kind of life is this? Your dream only works in front of me. Will Mr. Song fall for it? You should think about how to talk to Mr. Song!"
I thought the conversation with Mr. Song would be a fierce battle. Ten minutes later, Qin Xi came out of Mr. Song's office in a daze. The conversation just now made Qin Xi deeply feel the unique charm of a female entrepreneur who built her business brick by brick, started from scratch, managed hundreds of employees, and had hundreds of millions of assets.
"From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were not an ordinary person and would soar to the sky sooner or later. This feeling reached its peak when you were challenged by Aiko, but you spoke calmly and moved the entire crew. When I looked at you at that time, it was like seeing myself in the past."
President Song looked at Qin Xi with a smile, "I believe in myself, so I am willing to believe in you. Although our Meige has never invested in foreign dramas before, the company is different now. With young people like you, the company is developing better and better."
"You are so courageous? How can the company let you fight alone? I have asked the legal department to change the split between you and the company. From now on, all your income will be split 50-50 between the company and you, and your investment company will also split 50-50 with you."
"So you don't have to give the company any compensation. The company doesn't need half of your salary. Mei Ge and you will be the producers of "The Biography of Yan Qing" for once. You are Mei Ge's precedent!"
Qin Xi didn't say a word from beginning to end. It turned out that Mr. Song had already thought about it. With the company's solid backing and sharing the ups and downs with Qin Xi, Qin Xi suddenly felt very warm.
Qin Xi and Mr. Song looked at each other, and the mutual admiration in their eyes was worth more than a thousand words.
If you have a close friend in life, what more could you ask for?
With such a good Mr. Song and such a good Mei Ge, how could Qin Xi bear to let her become increasingly weak and deteriorate?
Two minutes later, Qin Xi rushed back to Mr. Song's office, his eyes more determined than ever before.
"Mr. Song, I have two years left on my contract with Meige. During these two years, I will continue to work hard to improve myself. I wonder if I will be eligible to buy shares in Meige after two years?"
"The company and I have been through thick and thin together, and I am willing to work hand in hand with the company and walk shoulder to shoulder with it!"
