Chapter 374
If Andy really intervened in the entertainment industry,
Dong Tian could only find a way to deal with what he had done as soon as possible, and then find an excuse to maneuver.
After listening to Dong Tian's question,
Andy didn't hesitate and said directly: "Dong Tian, I don't want to participate too much in the entertainment industry, but I want Tian Ai."
"Ms. An..."
Dong Tian hesitated, his hand holding the phone trembling slightly.
Dong Tian knew what Andy meant by these words. Obviously, she already knew what he had done to Tian Ai.
However,
Tian Ai was now Dong Tian's biggest cash cow.
At the very least, changing to another company could help Dong Tian earn a 20-million termination fee.
This was a life-saving straw for Dong Tian, who was currently in trouble and struggling desperately, so Dong Tian didn't want to give up so easily.
However,
Dong Tian also knew that since Andy spoke so directly, she probably didn't intend to pay the termination fee.
If it were five years ago,
as long as Andy spoke, let alone Tian Ai, even if Andy asked Dong Tian to pack up the whole company and give it to her, Dong Tian would be as happy as a fool.
But now,
Dong Tian had been immersed in darkness and had deeply tasted the happiness that money and desire created for him. He knew that to maintain such a life, he needed more money, so he wouldn't let go easily.
After carefully simulating the result of the conversation with Andy in his mind,
Dong Tian smiled and said tentatively: "Sorry, Andy, Tian Ai is one of the best artists in our company. She has her own dreams and future, so as Tian Ai's boss, I can't just hand Tian Ai over to you so simply. I have to be responsible for her..."
"You have to be responsible for Tian Ai?"
Andy smiled coldly upon hearing this, knowing that Dong Tian was just making excuses.
And Andy herself didn't want to have any intersection with Dong Tian, let alone any human relationship.
As long as things could be settled with money, Andy didn't want to have any relationship with Dong Tian anymore.
Therefore,
Andy didn't say another word and said directly: "20 million termination fee, give me all the contracts Tian Ai signed with your company!"
"This..."
Dong Tian hesitated for a moment and didn't want to agree originally.
But after thinking about it carefully, he now had a large funding gap, and two private loans were about to expire.
If he refused Andy at this time,
Dong Tian would not only not get the money, but might also offend Andy.
It would be better to be straightforward, get the money first, and talk about the future later.
Therefore,
Dong Tian nodded and said: "Okay, Ms. An, when do you want to trade? Should I come to your company, or should I bring the contract to your company?"
"When we go to work in the afternoon, we will arrive on time."
Andy replied briefly and then hung up the phone directly.
Dong Tian listened to the beeping sound from the phone,
and suddenly felt very sad in his heart. Recalling the word "we" that Andy just said,
Dong Tian felt as painful as if ten mice were drilling in his stomach, and almost vomited.
Looking at Tian Ai's manager in front of him,
Dong Tian said with a gloomy face: "Prepare, Ms. An will come to our company in person in the afternoon to talk about Tian Ai's matter."
Tian Ai's manager looked surprised: "Ms. An... is she the Ms. An you mentioned before? No, Mr. Dong, how did Tian Ai get involved with Ms. An? They are not from the same world at all!"
"Besides, Mr. Dong, if we really sell Tian Ai, there won't be many artists left in the company who can collect money. Tian Ai cannot be given to them!"
Tian Ai's manager was very nervous and tried hard to persuade Dong Tian not to sell Tian Ai.
Because she was Tian Ai's manager and one of Tian Ai's oppressors.
Only if Tian Ai stayed in the company,
could she continue to squeeze wealth for herself and the company from Tian Ai.
Once Tian Ai was sold,
she would immediately become a useless person and be dealt with by Dong Tian and the company.
And,
she also signed a long-term contract with Dong Tian,
so she knew her fate very clearly.
Either she bought her own fate and future from Dong Tian with her own money,
or she would completely become the bottom of the company and be trampled on in turn.
And although her contract termination fee was not as high as Tian Ai's, it was also several million.
This was equivalent to letting her spit out all the money she had earned from Tian Ai over the years, and then leave the company penniless and become a bottom-level waste. She certainly wouldn't agree.
Therefore, for her own life, she had to find a way to keep Tian Ai in the company as much as possible.
Therefore,
Tian Ai's manager thought carefully and then said to Dong Tian: "Mr. Dong, I really think 20 million is a loss. According to Tian Ai's current market value and potential, it should be at least 40 million. And with this 40 million, we can make up for most of the company's deficit, and we can also free up some funds to sign new artists and replenish the company's blood!"
"Mhm?"
Dong Tian looked at Tian Ai's manager and then muttered to himself: "Temporary price increase, will Andy accept it? However, 40 million is really more than 20 million..."
...
40 million is twice as much as 20 million,
and this is just the value expressed in cash.
And for Dong Tian,
if Tian Ai's termination fee was only 20 million,
then Dong Tian could only temporarily alleviate his private loan crisis, and there would be no other benefits besides that.
However,
if he could blackmail Andy and turn 20 million directly into 40 million,
then Dong Tian could directly pay off his 30 million private loans.
The remaining 10 million could be directly invested in a project, or, as Tian Ai's manager said, 2 million per person, and sign five new artists for the company first.
Then,
Dong Tian could select the next Tian Ai from these artists for cultivation and investment.
As long as it takes two to three years,
Dong Tian could cultivate another cash cow that is gradually growing for himself.
By then,
Dong Tian could get more and more continuous income by letting money make money and money make trees...
After comparing carefully,
Dong Tian suddenly felt that doubling the termination fee directly was a very good idea.
It's just that in this way,
Dong Tian would completely lose Andy's trust, and his relationship with Andy would be completely broken.
Choose Andy, or choose money?
Dong Tian lit a cigarette, somewhat indecisive.
Tian Ai's manager saw this and immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Mr. Dong, don't go against money no matter what. Only money can solve all problems in life. Mr. Dong, don't hesitate..."
Right!
Dong Tian took a deep puff of his cigarette and suddenly felt that what this manager said was very right.
In this world, 99% of problems can be solved directly with money.
The remaining 1% is just that the money you give is not enough.
Therefore, Dong Tian chose money.
