Chapter 86 is worth a billion
After Yui Shinmoto moved to New Century Entertainment, she quickly rose to fame in Japan and became a national-level actress.
The turning point was Glico's GG.
This was a project I took on during my time with LesPros Entertainment. It was already filmed when I transferred to another agency, but it hasn't aired on TV yet.
If it had been a few months later, let alone 500,000 US dollars, even 5 million US dollars wouldn't have been sold to Kenji Honma. But it was too late to regret it.
Fortunately, according to the transfer agreement signed at the time, the Singapore dollar was left in Les for safekeeping, which somewhat mitigated the loss for Kenji Honma.
Xin Yuan had been trying to contact Li Xiang, but Li Xiang deliberately ignored her. This time, upon learning that Li Xiang had come to Japan Island, she went directly to his door.
"Why are you avoiding me?" Shin-Yuan asked angrily from the doorway.
"I don't understand Japanese, close the door (in English)."
Li Xiang let Xin Yuan in, returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and watched TV.
Xin Yuan stood between Li Xiang and the television, staring at him, and questioned him again: "Why didn't you reply to my emails?"
?
""
"Which email address did you send it to? Did you send it to the wrong one?"
"It can't be wrong." Xin Yuan's English wasn't good, and he couldn't speak in complicated sentences. He took the prepared written materials out of his bag and handed them to Li Xiang. "Take a look for yourself. I'm going to sue you for copyright infringement."
WeTV is a pirated website. The defendant can't even be found. How can we protect our rights?
However, Shopee's Japanese goods section uses Singapore Dollar's image extensively as a spokesperson, without paying them or even signing a contract.
Some of them were filmed with the help of the new owner, who thought they would get away with it normally, but in the end, all they got was a performance fee and no endorsement income at all.
U-Love-Me was a bit more restrained; although they gave less, at least they gave something.
Li Xiang took the documents and looked them over.
It wasn't a lawyer's letter; it was written by Singapore Dollar itself, listing a whole bunch of demands.
In short, it boils down to two words: more money!
"What did you tell me when you were at my house that I would earn more? And now? I'm a big star now, but I don't earn as much as I used to."
Li Xiang chuckled and said, "I admit your actual income is a bit low, but to say you don't earn as much as before is a bit of an exaggeration."
"Really, no!" Xinyuan pulled something out of his bag again. "I brought my payslips. You can see for yourself how much I earn each month."
"Sit down."
Xin Yuan stood there without moving.
"Are you here to confront me, or to solve a problem?"
"I'm here to protect my rights," Xin Yuan muttered softly, sitting down on the sofa and keeping about half a meter away from Li Xiang.
The Singapore dollar payslip does indeed have a problem.
It wasn't just Li Xiang who was cutting her pay; her income from LesPros was also acting strangely.
According to the original transfer agreement, the Singapore dollar remained in Les and was managed by Honma Kenji, with the related income to be split equally between the two families.
Li Xiang had never been involved in the affairs on the Japanese island, and he wasn't quite sure how Kenji Honma was operating.
Did they only deduct from his Singapore dollar income, or did they also take away his share?
Li Xiang placed Xin Yuan's payslip on the coffee table.
"Are we in cahoots?"
"What?" Xinyuan was a little confused.
"Our own people have their own solutions; as for outsiders, we should handle things officially."
Xin Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "We can be on the same team for now."
"Since we're on the same side, let's not dwell on the past. I'll renegotiate your contract and adjust the revenue sharing ratio. You get 70% and I get 30%. Are you satisfied?" This is already the revenue sharing standard for top artists in Japan.
"Satisfied." Xin Yuan chuckled sheepishly, then cautiously asked, "Is it just for domestic orders, or are there overseas orders as well?"
"We have both, but internally, there's still a slight discount, you understand?"
"I understand."
"Am I better than Kenji Honma?" Li Xiang asked shamelessly.
"Honma Ken said you like me." Shinmoto shifted slightly to the side, looking slightly wary. "There aren't any additional conditions for renewing the contract early, right? You'd better make that clear?"
"Yes, the only condition is that you can't switch jobs to other companies. You have to stay with me until your contract expires. If you have any complaints, you can raise them. As long as your requests are reasonable, I will try my best to meet them."
"You really like me?" Xinyuan felt that the conditions were so good that it was almost unreal.
"What are you thinking? My second child is about to be born," Li Xiang explained, half-jokingly. "Ever since I signed with you, I've had incredibly good luck."
"I used to be short of money, but now that I'm rich, it doesn't matter whether I earn more or less from you. I just want to be your friend. If you're happy, I'm happy too."
"Is it that simple?" Xin Yuan grinned.
Li Xiang said, "The most important thing between friends is loyalty. I'm doing well now, so I'm giving you a hand. Who knows, I might need your help someday. Can you really say no?"
Xin Yuan declared his loyalty, "Of course I have to help. Where else can I find such a good boss, no, such a good friend, without you?"
The Singapore dollar contract has more than five years remaining, which is no small sum.
"Honma Ken is no good friend. He not only swindled your money, but he probably swindled mine too. I'm busy right now and don't have time to deal with him. I'll settle the score with him later," Li Xiang said deliberately. "I have shares in Les, so I can check his accounts. Don't tip him off."
Xin Yuan quickly said, "I can't."
"Want to grab a meal together?"
"Are you asking me out?"
"Do you even understand men? I had no feelings for you to begin with, but if you keep being so wary of me, it might just ignite my desire to conquer you. Or are you doing this on purpose? If you're trying to hook me, I might consider taking the bait."
Before Li Xiang could finish speaking, his phone rang. He got up and went to the balcony to answer the call.
After finishing the call, he said to Xinyuan, "I was thinking of treating you to a big meal, but you're out of luck, I have plans."
Xin Yuan stood up and said, "Then I won't take up any more of your time, I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute, I'll call a car to take you."
"That's too much trouble."
"No trouble at all. It's a SoftBank car, might as well take a ride." Li Xiang extended his right pinky finger and reiterated, "Pinky promise, never to change. We made a deal, so if I need your help in the future, you have to help me out."
"Pinky promise." Xin Yuan readily extended his little finger, but his heart was pounding. What could a nobody like me, an actor, possibly do to help you?
Yong didn't say anything on the phone, just that he was coming to see Li Xiang.
Li Xiang didn't pick them up at the airport; instead, he booked a restaurant and invited Han Jiayin over as well.
Han Jiayin went to Hong Kong to purchase servers with the help of Brother Yong; they knew each other.
Yong is still on his way.
Only Li Xiang and Han Jiayin were in the private room.
"You must keep an eye on Xinyuan for me; she will be of great use to me in the future."
Han Jiayin: "You're a father now, and you're still thinking about playing around."
Li Xiang said seriously, "I like big ones, I don't like hers."
Han Jiayin couldn't help but laugh, "Natasha is quite big."
Li Xiang made a cross with his hand and said, "She's worth this much. We're outsiders on Japan Island, and there are many things we can't do. We all rely on her."
"How many are you gesturing?"
"One billion US dollars." Li Xiang said sternly, "Han Jiayin, if you can't keep an eye on her and she gets away, you're fired too."
"Is it really that serious? Can't we even consider the relationship between siblings?" Han Jiayin knew that Li Xiang was just saying it casually, but she also realized the seriousness of the matter.
Li Xiang countered, "Do you think you're worth a billion?"
'
Han Jiayin blurted out, "I'm worth ten yuan."
Li Xiang took out his phone, searched for a picture, and sent it to Han Jiayin, saying, "We can't rely on Xinyuan all the time. Find a way to poach this person. Don't worry about the cost. We need a backup in case Xinyuan gets out of control."
"Sis, I'm betting my entire fortune this time. Whether I can turn things around depends on these two. Pay close attention to them."
