Chapter 852
If Andi really gets involved in the entertainment industry,
Dong Tian can only find a way to quickly dispose of those things he has done, and then find excuses to maneuver.
After hearing Dong Tian's question,
Andi did not hesitate and said directly: "Dong Tian, I do not want to get too involved in entertainment industry matters, but I want Tian Ai."
"Dong Zong..."
Dong Tian hesitated, his hand holding the phone trembling slightly,
Dong Tian knew what Andi meant by those few words; obviously, she already knew about those things he had done to Tian Ai,
but,
Tian Ai is currently Dong Tian's biggest cash cow,
at the very least, switching to another company could earn Dong Tian twenty million in breach-of-contract penalties,
which, for Dong Tian who is currently in a predicament and struggling desperately, is a lifeline, so Dong Tian does not want to give up so easily.
However,
Dong Tian also knew that since Andi opened her mouth so directly, she must not intend to pay the breach-of-contract penalty,
if it were five years ago,
as long as Andi spoke up, let alone Tian Ai, even if she asked Dong Tian to pack up the entire company and give it to her, Dong Tian would have been as happy as a fool,
but now,
Dong Tian has already sunk into darkness and has deeply tasted the happiness money and desire created for him; he knows that to maintain such a life he needs more money, so he will not let go easily.
After carefully simulating the outcome of the conversation with Andi in his mind,
Dong Tian smiled and said tentatively: "Sorry, Andi, Tian Ai is one of our company's most excellent artists; she has her own dreams and future, so as Tian Ai's boss, I cannot simply hand Tian Ai over to you; I must take responsibility for her..."
"You want to take responsibility for Tian Ai?"
Hearing this, Andi sneered coldly, knowing that Dong Tian was just making excuses,
and Andi herself did not want any connection with Dong Tian, nor did she want any exchange of favors,
as long as a matter could be settled with money, Andi did not want her and Dong Tian to have any further relationship whatsoever,
so,
Andi did not say another word and said directly: "Twenty million in breach-of-contract penalties; give me Tian Ai and all the contracts signed with your company!"
"This..."
Dong Tian hesitated for a moment and originally did not want to agree,
but after thinking carefully, he realized he currently had a huge funding gap, and two private loans were about to expire,
if he refused Andi at this moment,
Dong Tian would not only fail to get the money but might also offend Andi,
so it would be better to be straightforward, get the money first, and deal with future matters later.
So,
Dong Tian nodded and then said: "Alright, Dong Zong, when shall we transact? Shall you come to my company, or shall I bring the contracts to your company?"
"When work starts this afternoon, we will arrive on time."
Andi replied briefly with two sentences, then hung up the phone directly.
Dong Tian listened to the beeping sound coming from the phone,
and suddenly felt extremely sad; recalling the two words "we" that Andi had just spoken,
Dong Tian felt pain as unbearable as if more than a dozen rats were burrowing into his stomach, and he almost vomited,
looking at the Tian Ai manager in front of him,
Dong Tian's face darkened, and then he said: "Prepare yourself; this afternoon, Dong Zong will personally come to our company to discuss Tian Ai's matter."
The Tian Ai manager looked surprised: "Dong Zong... is that the Dong Zong you mentioned before? No, Dong Zong, how did Tian Ai get involved with Dong Zong? They are not from the same world at all!"
"Besides, Dong Zong, if we really sell Tian Ai, there will be very few artists left in the company who can generate revenue; we cannot give Tian Ai to them!"
The Tian Ai manager was extremely nervous and tried hard to dissuade Dong Tian from selling Tian Ai,
because she was not only Tian Ai's manager but also one of Tian Ai's oppressors,
only if Tian Ai continued to stay 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 item, to be disposed of by Dong Tian and the company,
and,
the long-term contract she signed with Dong Tian,
so she knew very clearly what her fate was,
either she spent her own money to buy her own fate and future from Dong Tian,
or, she would completely become a bottom-level employee, trampled and crushed repeatedly,
and although her contract breach penalty was not as high as Tian Ai's, it was still several million,
which was equivalent to forcing her to spit out all the money she had earned from Tian Ai over the years, then leave the company penniless and become a complete bottom-level waste; she definitely would not agree,
so, for her own life, she must find a way to keep Tian Ai in the company as much as possible,
so,
the Tian Ai manager thought carefully and then said to Dong Tian: "Dong Zong, I really think twenty million is a loss; according to Tian Ai's current worth and potential, it should be at least forty million, and with this forty million, we can fill most of the company's deficit, and we can also set aside some funds to sign new artists and replenish the company's blood!"
"Hmm?"
Dong Tian looked at the Tian Ai manager and then muttered to himself: "Raising the price temporarily, will Andi accept it? However, forty million is really more than twenty million..."
