Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Iwasaki Junko's girlish behavior made Li Shuo seem really stingy.

But he was thick-skinned enough, and he chuckled and said, "The change from Li Shuo to Sony Li Shuo is probably part of your cultural strategy, right?"

"So what? But this kind of cultural strategy may not work for 10 or 20 years. If you are confident, why not swallow this poison pill wrapped in honey? Ten years later, when you have power comparable to that of the Iwasaki family, won't you be able to crush the poison pill with one finger?"

"Besides, I, Junko Iwasaki, swear that this poison pill will not cause any harm to you!"

It can be seen that Junko Iwasaki is really angry:

Most of the people she met were like Yu Chengcheng, who didn't care about Japan's cultural strategy and just wanted to get the investment first. Unlike Li Shuo...

Li Shuo narrowed his eyes. He was moved by Iwasaki Junko's "10 years later". In fact, it doesn't have to be 10 years. According to his current speed, in 3-5 years, as long as he can gather a group of elites to run his forces, he can become a super force comparable to the Iwasaki family!

"Okay, I agree to the second condition!"

Thinking of this, Li Shuo agreed readily.

Of course, deep down in his heart, he was thinking about "negotiating the details of cooperation" in the future, and adding "Li Shuo's original works refer only to Li Shuo's works, and do not include cooperative works or studio works." In addition, "cooperative operation" needs to be designated to be the responsibility of Shuoguo Culture, and so on.

It is natural to speak magnanimously in front of a woman, but when signing a business contract, you must be stingy: It is the people under you who are very picky about every penny, what does it have to do with me, Li Shuo?

Iwasaki Junko, who was born in a noble family, naturally did not expect that the man had bad intentions. She immediately picked up the teacup happily: "Mr. Li is straightforward. Come, I will use tea instead of wine to toast you. I wish you a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Iwasaki Junko smiled happily and said, "Actually, calling Li Shuo is not purely about the SC Club..."

Li Shuo asked in surprise: "Is there any news about the Yohen Tenmoku?"

"I have contacted Kamimura Tomiaki and learned about the situation. The local people of the family did use improper excuses to keep the national treasure... In my name, I can naturally borrow Yaobian Tianmu to Lenghai..."

"So, about the cooperation?"

This was a matter of Li Shuo asking for help, so his voice became lower.

Iwasaki Junko was quite generous and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Li has agreed to sign a contract with Sony, then we are one of our own. Exhibiting Japanese national treasures in China will also greatly benefit the spread of our Japanese culture. I will do my best to promote this matter, and Mr. Li does not need to worry."

What the hell? I'm lending you the national treasure, but you're the ones who benefit?

Li Shuo didn't quite understand this "cultural invasion of China" thinking, so he didn't ask much at the moment. He just talked to Junko Iwasaki about the details of the cooperation with Sony Agency.

According to Junko Iwasaki, Sony Agency is actually a subsidiary of Sony Music, and its contracted artists are mainly singers. Therefore, it has a large number of stars. The most prosperous period was in the 80s when Michael Jackson was alive. At that time, he dominated the world and was invincible.

Today, it also has two world-class divas, Britney and Beyoncé, as its flagship. In Greater China, it has a number of singers, including Cyndi Wang, Yilin, and Ruoxuan. It can be said that in terms of singing art, it is still the strongest agency, bar none.

Because of Li Shuo's special situation, he can be promoted to A-level contract immediately after signing. It sounds like nothing, but Iwasaki Junko gave him an example, saying: "Today, 2PM, the top boy band in South Korea, has its international music affairs handled by Sony Entertainment, and the company has issued an A-level international agreement to this boy band..."

Li Shuo doesn't like boy bands, but he has heard of this group more than once, because many of its members later hooked up with their own screen-licking goddesses, from Lin Yuna in the beautiful legs era to the second and third generation girl band members... Even many girls in the drama school are familiar with the 2PM group, and they will call them "Oppa" when they mention it...

Seeing his expression change significantly, Iwasaki Junko asked casually: "Why? Have you heard of this group?"

Li Shuo pretended to be calm and said, "I've heard of it... After all, the Korean wave is sweeping across Asia now, and I'm from an art college, so I naturally know these 'oppas'..."

Later, he still couldn't hide his "grievance" in his tone. Iwasaki Junko covered her mouth and chuckled, saying: "South Korean idol groups are indeed very powerful, but if they want to enter the international stage, they need to give up part of their profits to international capital. Sony Agency is one of the best channels... However, they are internationally signed after all, not our own. According to the internal classification, you will be able to surpass them in the future..."

She smiled mischievously and said jokingly, "If there is a girl in your drama school who is after these boy bands, you can call the 2PM leader directly and ask them to mail you a handwritten signed photo. You can also show off your abs more..."

Li Shuo felt a chill and asked, "Junzi, I didn't expect you to have this hobby? I have abdominal muscles myself, but it's hard for me to imagine what's so good about them, let alone seeing other men's abdominal muscles..."

As he said this, he lifted his hand downwards, revealing half of his abdominal muscles.

This thing spit out a looming temptation, plus Li Shuo's muscles are now quite perfect, not exaggerated but with clear lines, so Iwasaki Junko's eyes lit up instantly, and she was stunned on the spot...

In fact, the ladies of wealthy families rarely saw someone as direct as Li Shuo in exposing his chest and muscles. Moreover, he was extremely charming. For a moment, Junko Iwasaki's face became visibly rosy.

About 3 seconds later, she decisively changed the subject and said, "I know you plan to publish your work with Shuoguo Culture. After signing with Sony, you need to strike a good balance between the two companies..."

Li Shuo naturally couldn't understand what "male beauty temptation" meant. After listening to Iwasaki Junko talking about business, he thought for a while and replied: "I have a stage name in Shuoguo Culture, called Li Jiulin, and most of my cultural works are also extended from the name Li Jiulin... In this case, I signed a contract with Sony and can also use a new stage name..."

At this point, he paused for a moment, trying to dig out a suitable name from his mind, and finally said:

"I'll use X as my stage name at Sony... From now on, all the works created by MR-X can be published by Sony..."

His name is completely copied from the idea of ​​the future world's richest man, Marco Polo. In the future, he will change "Twitter" to "X". A simple single-letter name is easier to remember and more impressive.

"MR-X" will also be a very easy-to-understand international code name, very suitable for a multinational company like Sony.

Then, he briefly proposed some conditions, such as the copyright of works published under the pseudonym Li Jiulin would belong to Li Shuo Studio, but Sony would also need to allocate certain operating resources, and in return, the international business of the copyright produced by Li Jiulin could also be handed over to Sony for operation...

In fact, it means "what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine." Perhaps Junko Iwasaki was seduced by the beauty, or perhaps she really didn't care about these things, and she actually agreed to all these conditions.

During the chat, Chef Yoshino of Iwasaki Cuisine came over and brought the tuna sashimi he made himself. Li Shuo took a bite and found that it was really different from what he ate in ordinary Japanese restaurants. The slices were thinner and tasted more tender. The sauce tasted top-notch. For a moment, he couldn't help but praise it. Chef Yoshino smiled from ear to ear. Humans are strange animals. Because Li Shuo pointed out his faults during his first meal, he paid special attention to Li Shuo's evaluation. Once he received praise, he would immediately be excited.

He said repeatedly: "Mr. Li, you are a true gourmet! If you have time, please be sure to attend the food tasting meeting next Wednesday. I will show you the best Japanese cuisine at the meeting."

Li Shuo had received an invitation from Iwasaki Junko before, so he was quite interested and nodded, "Of course, I'm looking forward to Master Yoshino's cooking!"

After this little episode, the atmosphere at the table became more harmonious. Iwasaki Junko shared some of her past experiences with Li Shuo and inadvertently revealed the current situation of the Iwasaki family.

As Dong Shanchuan introduced to Li Shuo, after the end of the "Golden Age", the Iwasaki family lost control of the 30 Group and the family was divided into two.

The local faction is trying to survive by defending the four islands of Japan, but because there are still a large number of industries left in the mainland, it is in a situation where a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

The overseas faction scattered and spread all over the world. Based on the region, they are divided into North and South America and Europe, and these three forces are the most powerful.

Junko Iwasaki is actually from the "local faction" and is the eldest granddaughter of the current head of the local Iwasaki family. However, she was sent to China after she became an adult and became the "overseas faction". In the past three years, the overseas faction's China branch has also risen rapidly under the leadership of Junko Iwasaki and has become the fourth largest force after the three major forces.

In short, it sounded quite complicated, and Li Shuo didn't listen to it. He just acted as a qualified listener and chatted with Iwasaki Junko...

After dusk, a table of Iwasaki cuisine was completely devoured by Li Shuo, and then he stood up to say goodbye...

After leaving Iwasaki Cuisine, Li Shuo suddenly felt that he seemed to have more and more things on hand. He had just completed the "investment in SC Club" among the "three things", but it turned out to have led to Junko Iwasaki and her family, and even the so-called cultural invasion strategy. He didn't know what kind of waves the other two things would cause.

With this in mind, 918 did not go back directly, but turned to Lenghai New District. Half an hour later, it arrived at Si Jiawen's villa: the core condition for investing in SC Club is that Li Shuo opens up a large open space in front of the main entrance of the Drama Academy to build the SC headquarters. Li Shuo has sufficient power in the Drama Academy and can be used at any time, but in the wider government departments, he still has to rely on Si Jiawen's relationship.

Because he didn't contact her in advance, Li Shuo was turned away this time. Si Jiawen is going back to visit her family tonight. Of course, Li Shuo knows the password of the door lock, but letting him live here alone is simply torture for the "big boss" and "perfect male god"!

Standing in front of Si Jiawen's villa, Li Shuo was hesitating, when he suddenly saw the lights on in the villa opposite from the corner of his eye. An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he picked up the phone and dialed Yu Nuannuan's number.

"Miss Yu, what are you doing?"

"Hey, busy man, you finally called me back..."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"I called you this afternoon, didn't you see it?"

"Um, I was busy with something important, so I might have overlooked it... I'm across from your house..."

Three minutes later, Yu Nuannuan, wearing silk pajamas, opened the fence of her villa. She glanced at the dark lights opposite and suddenly realized something. She teased Li Shuo, "Did you think of me, your backup, because you were blocked outside the door, great lover?"

Li Shuo smiled bitterly: "Miss, please stop mocking me... I just happened to pass by here, and Si Jiawen was not here, so I came over to bother you..."

"Welcome, Mr. Li, to my girls' dormitory..."

Yu Nuannuan turned sideways and continued to tease while welcoming Li Shuo into the villa.

Her "dormitory" is actually three times more luxurious than Si Jiawen's villa. After entering the room, one can see the ceiling that is over 6 meters high and the huge crystal chandelier hanging down from the floor.

Perhaps to welcome Li Shuo, all the lights were turned on at this time, and the entire living room was illuminated in every detail. Li Shuo followed Yu Nuannuan to the living room, who served him a cup of black tea at a suitable temperature and then sat opposite him.

Then, Yu Nuannuan remembered that she was wearing a loose nightgown, so she crossed her legs, leaned back slightly and said, "Young Master Li..."

Li Shuo quickly waved his hands: "Stop it, Nuannuan, please speak properly!"

"Okay, Li Shuo, you didn't come here just to chat with me, right?"

"I have nothing else to do, so of course we can just chat..."

"Tsk, are you here to ask about the mansion? I got rid of Qi Tianlin two days ago, but that guy was slow to act and hasn't given me any news yet..."

As she spoke, Yu Nuannuan pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. The last time they met, Yu Nuannuan promised to find Li Shuo a luxury house that would satisfy his personal taste.

Li Shuo smiled and said frankly: "I happened to meet Qi Tianlin today. He seemed to have mentioned the matter of buying a house, but we were discussing investing in the SC Club at the time, so we didn't talk about it in depth..."

"Oh?"

"Then I met Ms. Iwasaki Junko again, and we discussed the matter of investing in the SC Club. Overall, I'm afraid I will have to get on board the Japanese capital train in the future..."

At this point, Li Shuo gave a bitter smile: He had actually been guarding against this, but he didn't expect that he would eventually accept Junko Iwasaki's investment.

All we can say is that this is how things are in the world. When someone forces people to invest money, few people can really say no.

Yu Nuannuan also understood this deeply, but she quickly laughed and said, "Look at what you said, it seems like you have suffered a great loss. Isn't it just accepting the capital of the Iwasaki family? There are too many people in the country who want to take it but are not qualified... As far as I know, Qi Tianlin really wants to cooperate with Iwasaki Junko, but Miss Iwasaki doesn't think highly of racing culture, so she gave this qualification to you. She values ​​you more than you can imagine..."
