"Since I said that I would sign them, then I will sign them for you. If you do not believe me, you can call your brothers and sisters from the troupe now. I will prepare the contract." Zhang Xiaohua said with certainty, he would bury his head afterwards to write up the contract.The reason why he agreed to Ling Ming"s request was not only because she was his ideal singer, but the key point was that this girl understood loyalty and valued it greatly.
After all, not many people would even remember their old helpers when given such a good offer to become famous, let alone risk their chance at changing their lives to help bring along those people. She risked losing her chance to get off the streets for those people.
Besides, there was nothing wrong with the company getting a song and dance troupe. It would need to be established sooner or later. It was better now than later, and this also allowed him to gain Ling Ming"s trust and favour.
"Thank you... Thank you, boss!" Ling Ming was very grateful. She kept thanking Zhang Xiaohua and then took out her mobile phone, making several calls.
An hour later, the room was full of people and many more had to wait outside because the room was just too small.
Zhang Xiaohua counted about thirty people; they were men and women of all ages, all full of vigour and vitality. Some of them were even wearing abstract clothes. With just a glance, he instantly knew that they were all artists.
"This is Boss Zhang. Those songs that w.a.n.g Jingwen sang were all written by him, she is also a member of this company. Everyone, say h.e.l.lo to Boss Zhang."
Ling Ming happily explained to the people who had just arrived, and before her voice fell, thirty people spoke in unison calling out to "Boss Zhang". Their voices were loud and powerful, soaring and deafening!
"Oh, this momentum is really good!" Zhang Xiaohua was very satisfied. He could not help but praise them and immediately asked, "What is the name of the troupe? Who is the head and what types of dances can you guys do?"
"Reporting to the boss, we are called "Thunder Song and Dance Troupe". I am the head of the group, my name is s.h.i.+ Yuan. We can perform many dance styles, such as modern, machine, figure, jazz and street dance. If boss needs it, we can also prepare a performance based on contemporary schools of dance, according to your requirements. These are our abilities; we will not let the boss down." s.h.i.+ Yuan patted his chest and gave a warm introduction.
Zhang Xiaohua carefully looked at s.h.i.+ Yuan, he was tall and muscular, with a long chiselled face and full of spirit, what a dignified appearance! Anyway... He felt that the name of the team was too rustic.
Zhang Xiaohua immersed himself in a moment and said: "From now on, you can call it "TSD Troupe Cooperation" or simply "TSD Troupe". If you do not mind, I will write the team"s new name in the contract. Then, you can sign it as their representative."
s.h.i.+ Yuan and his teammates looked at each other and reached a consensus through their eyes.
He heard s.h.i.+ Yuan say: "No problem."
The "TSD Troupe" was also officially established at this moment.
The next moment, Zhang Xiaohua handed the printed contract to s.h.i.+ Yuan: "Take a look, if there are no problems, you can sign the contract."
s.h.i.+ Yuan nodded and looked at the contract seriously. In order for other people to understand the contents of the contract, he read it out loud: "This contract is valid for five years. The TSD Dance Company will be responsible for carrying out all the tasks stated in the contract during the duration of the contract. All performances arranged by HuaXiang Entertainment Company promises that TSD Troupe will earn a performance fee of at least 300,000 Yuan...
As s.h.i.+ Yuan read up to this point, the members of the group could not help but feel at loss!
A performance fee as high as 300,000. This was already an astronomical price for the members. Taking into account that they usually went to those shopping malls or street performances, they earned on average 3,000 Yuan for each session. Only one hundred Yuan could be allocated to each person. If business was good, in a month like January, they could get up to 1,500 Yuan per person.
Yet now, their performance fee would be 300,000 Yuan. That was to say, when they performed, each member could receive a minimum of 10,000 Yuan in remuneration, which was a surprise to the members!
Yuan Datong was also shocked by this price!
They had never seen such an open-minded boss.
Yuan Datong once again went to Zhang Xiaohua"s side and whispered, "A performance fee of 300,000? Is it not a bit high? Even if they worked for w.a.n.g Jingwen"s concert, we cannot guarantee that w.a.n.g Jingwen"s concert will earn enough to pay off all the costs."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled brilliantly and said generously: "Since it is all from my own company, I am not going to be stingy as the boss. Like last time, when I said that I would make you guys millionaires, I succeeded right? Just have some belief. As soon as they step into the door of this company, this boss must treat them equally. Otherwise, the company will sooner or later split up."
Yuan Datong was silent, but in his heart, he felt that Zhang Xiaohua"s words were very reasonable. He knew that this kid would never do a lose-lose business. Since he made this decision, he must have his reasons.
"Well, you can figure it out." Yuan Datong did not say much. Zhang Xiaohua was the CEO. He had nothing to worry about.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Emma again and asked, "Do you have any opinions?"
Several people collectively shook their heads and expressed no objection. At the same time, everyone also firmly believed in Zhang Xiaohua. They believed that no matter what he did, there would be no reason for doubt.
"Okay, that is it. If you have no problems, please sign the contract."
Zhang Xiaohua made a statement, s.h.i.+ Yuan did not delay, and on behalf of the entire team, he signed along the dotted line, officially becoming HuaXiang Entertainment"s dance troupe.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?" s.h.i.+ Yuan"s mood was high and he could not wait to do something for this company. The other members were also beaming and looked good. They only waited for Zhang Xiaohua to arrange work.
"Where do you usually dance? Do you have your own dance studio?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.
"We cannot afford to rent a dance studio, so we usually rehea.r.s.e in the park or on the square." s.h.i.+ Yuan answered truthfully.
"Well, dancing in… the square? No, that is not allowed." Zhang Xiaohua was depressed. He did not want his company"s people to be disgraceful, so he immediately turned to Yuan Datong and told him: "General Manager Yuan, first give them 100,000 Yuan and let them rent a dance studio."
Yuan Datong"s face sank, and he instantly felt that his heart had been stabbed.
Well, to make money we must first spend money. But wasn"t this kid a bit over-reaching?
The company did not have any extra money at all. He clearly wanted him to spend money from his own pocket!
However, in front of such a large number of people, the big boss could not be allowed to be humiliated, so Yuan Datong nodded reluctantly and ran to fetch the money from the bank"s ATM before slipping back. When he came back, he had a newspaper in hand, when he opened the newspaper, a flash of red* was presented to the crowd. No more, no less, a full hundred thousand.
"You should take this money first, rent a better dance room and concentrate on practising. I will inform you in advance when there are any jobs." Zhang Xiaohua said seriously.
"The boss, how can this be done? We have not made any contributions to the company yet. If we get the money first, and so much money at that. It is not proper..."
"You should remember, from now on, you represent HuaXiang Entertainment. You cannot go back to the streets again afterwards. You will not go to the park or the square to dance. Let"s not disturb people, let alone lose face. This money will be the deposit the company gives you. Do not talk nonsense. Take it."
s.h.i.+ Yuan"s speech was interrupted by Zhang Xiaohua. At that time, everyone was speechless, and Zhang Xiaohua radiated his unique temperament. No matter what he said, he made people feel like they could not refuse to follow the rules of the word.
Since Zhang Xiaohua had already spoken so much, s.h.i.+ Yuan could only accept and carefully held the hundred thousand dollars in his arms. He solemnly asked Zhang Xiaohua: "Boss, do you have any other orders?"
"For the time being, you go back first. When I have a job for you, I will inform you." Zhang Xiaohua waved and smiled.
"Thank you boss and thank you General Manager Yuan! Thank you, all, we shall go first." s.h.i.+ Yuan greeted everyone, and then led the team members to leave.
