Chapter 2247

July 31, 1994, this day is the 23rd day of the sixth lunar month, an ordinary Sunday.

The sky in Beijing was quietly drizzling with light rain. The fine, silk-like raindrops fell gently, covering this ancient and modern city with a thin veil.

The high temperature and scorching heat of the past few days were finally relieved and released at this moment. As the temperature dropped, people felt the long-lost coolness and comfort.

People who were originally a bit lazy and listless because of the heat seemed to have been injected with vitality again, and their spirits suddenly became energetic.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhou Andong didn't sleep. He wrote the script in the study until night. After dinner, while sitting in the courtyard smoking a cigarette, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and he was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes.

He was too lazy to go back to the back cover building to rest, so he simply greeted the two mothers, told them to accompany Qiuqiu at night, and help take care of the child if she made a fuss in the middle of the night. As for himself, he found a guest room nearby, fell onto the bed, and fell asleep in a few minutes.

This morning, just after seven o'clock, a loud howling sound suddenly entered Zhou Andong's ears, dragging him out of his beautiful dream.

He got out of bed in a daze, reached out and pulled open the curtains. Outside the window, in the courtyard, Su Su was excitedly running in the rain like a wild horse that had broken its reins.

Sister Wu was chasing after her, calling Su Su's name while trying to catch the naughty little guy. This chase lasted for a while, and finally Sister Wu was more skilled, successfully catching Su Su, the little monkey, and bringing her away in her arms.

Zhou Andong gave a light laugh, found a cigarette and lit it, then slowly walked to the window and pushed it open. In an instant, a breeze mixed with a damp breath rushed towards him, gently caressing his face, as if an invisible hand gently wiped away the remaining fatigue, making him feel refreshed and happy.

At this moment, the sound of a suona came from the instrument room. The tune was cheerful and festive. It was actually playing "Good Days". It didn't need to be thought about to know it was Watching Lao Si. Although her playing technique was still immature, it had made very significant progress compared to before. Obviously, the girl had been practicing persistently and hadn't been lazy.

In this way, Zhou Andong stood quietly by the window, smoking leisurely while listening to Watching Lao Si playing the suona.

At the same time, it was drizzling outside the window. The raindrops hit the leaves, fell into the grass, kissed the flowers, and threw themselves into the clear water pool, stirring up small ripples.

The picturesque rain scene and the sound of the suona blended together, making Zhou Andong look extremely comfortable and at ease.

Time passed quietly unconsciously, and I don't know how long it had passed. When Zhou Andong came back to his senses, he found that he had smoked two cigarettes in a row.

"Gurgle!"

His stomach suddenly growled. Zhou Andong rubbed his stomach, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, turned and left the room, and walked to the restaurant along the winding corridor.

Before he finished eating, Sister Wu came in, walked to his side and said softly: "Chairman, a call came into the reception hall, saying it was from Japan, and the person calling was Yuan Wanqi."

Zhou Andong knew immediately that it was Yuan Wanqi calling, and it must be that Sony Music Entertainment had a result. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the napkin next to him and wiped his mouth, then stood up and walked out, coming to the reception hall.

The receiver was placed on the coffee table. Zhou Andong walked over quickly, grabbed the receiver and said: "Wanqi, I am Zhou Andong."

Yuan Wanqi's voice came from the receiver: "Boss, the negotiation with Sony Music Entertainment ended successfully. Overall, it was quite smooth, and the contract has been initially drafted. From today on, we must start discussing the issue of VCD patent fees."

"It's July 31st!" Zhou Andong pondered for a while: "Try to negotiate all matters before August 14th. Sign the contract officially on August 15th, and hold a press conference to announce it to the public."

Yuan Wanqi was full of doubts in her heart and asked puzzledly: "Does the 15th have any special significance?"

"Yes!" Zhou Andong's eyes suddenly became deep, and he answered in a low voice: "In modern history, August 15th is a day with significant influence."

Yuan Wanqi's doubts grew heavier, but Zhou Andong didn't tell her what it was, and she didn't ask again.

"Okay, I will go all out and try my best to complete the signing smoothly on August 15th and officially announce it to the outside world."

"You only need to stick to the bottom line of 15 US dollars. As for other aspects, you can make decisions and handle them yourself, without reporting to me."

Zhou Andong finished explaining a few words to Yuan Wanqi concisely, and then hung up the phone. However, before he could stand up, the urgent phone ring rang again.

Zhou Andong glanced at the caller ID, and it was actually an overseas call again, and the attribution was still Japan. Then, Zhang Xuan's name jumped into his mind.

People who are in Japan at this time, except for Yuan Wanqi, are Zhang Xuan. She called, it is estimated that the cooperation with the Mitsui family has a result.

Zhou Andong pondered, grabbed the receiver again: "Hello, I am Zhou Andong."

"Boss!" Sure enough, Zhang Xuan's voice came from the receiver: "The cooperation between Overseas Trust Bank and Sakura Bank has been finalized. An hour later, I will meet with the other five shareholders to discuss subsequent relevant matters."

Although he had a guess in his heart, a smile still appeared on his face involuntarily when he heard Zhang Xuan's words: "The progress of this negotiation is quite smooth!"

"It's not just smooth, it's simply beyond imagination." Zhang Xuan couldn't help but laugh softly, and then explained: "To put it bluntly, we didn't even enter the formal negotiation, and both sides reached a consensus."

"Oh?" Zhou Andong raised his eyebrows: "It seems that the Mitsui family also attaches great importance to cooperation."

"Indeed!" Zhang Xuan said about what happened: "They left me alone for a week, and never gave me a clear answer. However, just last night, Mitsui Motonosuke suddenly invited me to dinner, and it was during dinner that the cooperation was determined."

Zhou Andong moved back two steps, letting himself sink deeply into the soft sofa. Then, he adjusted his sitting posture to lean back on the sofa back in a more comfortable and comfortable way.
