Chapter 1,152 Request(1/2)
"Oh, as expected of President Ning, your analysis is succinct. Forgive me for being stupid. I am really inexperienced in this kind of thing, so I asked such a stupid question. If it hadn't been for your answer, I wouldn't have done it anyway.
You will understand the mystery of it. I am ashamed, I am really ashamed..."
Ning Weimin's explanation made Zhoumumin convinced and satisfied, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
As for Ning Weimin, of course he doesn't have the same experience as him.
Since the problem is clearly explained, that’s all.
Instead, he took the initiative to hand over the menu and asked Minoru Funaki, who had not yet ordered anything, to order.
He also enthusiastically introduced the food to change the subject, and made all the unhappiness over in an understatement.
His generosity could be felt by Minoru Funaki, so after ordering fried noodles and fried dumplings, he changed his words to praise Chinese food and palace cuisine, in order to give Ning Weimin a high hat.
As a president, he is really a small fish in the Japanese entertainment industry.
Because in addition to its singers, Taurus Records also has female movie star Juju Yukiyo, actor Wata Tetsuya and others joining the company, but when it comes to who can make the most money for the company, Teresa Teng is undoubtedly the leader.
More than half of the total revenue of the entire Taurus Record Company comes from the sales of Teresa Teng's art works, which means that it relies entirely on Teresa Teng as a pillar to survive.
Apart from this, there are no other outstanding artists under Taurus Palace, so it is inevitable that we need to look for people everywhere, and we cannot help but take this award very seriously.
Therefore, it is commonplace to have a low profile. Now that Teresa Teng's career has been taken a step further by the care of a wealthy businessman like Ning Weimin, Minoru Funaki feels that she is extremely lucky.
To him, any kind of gratitude is deserved. It is absolutely true and deeply felt.
It was a coincidence that at this moment, the waiter brought over the snacks that Teresa Teng ordered in advance.
The bowl of rock sugar bird's nest that Ning Weimin requested for Teresa Teng was also among them.
Teresa Teng saw the waiter put delicious food on the table, but she immediately became excited, and she couldn't wait to taste it without being polite to others.
To be honest, Miss Teresa's passion for food is no worse than her passion for singing.
Teresa Teng on stage is very fashionable.
Teresa Teng at the dinner table, serving food.
However, there were other priorities. Since there were bird's nests, the spring rolls and wontons she ordered were a bit unpopular.
"Ah, this is the bird's nest. I have never eaten bird's nest in my life."
In full view of everyone, Teresa Teng picked up the small bowl made of bright yellow porcelain and did not let anyone let her go. She raised it to her mouth and took advantage of her excitement to eat it all at once, praising it as she ate it.
"Well, the bird's nest is cold. Even though it's a dessert, it's not greasy at all. I can't describe the taste. It's really delicious."
Her words were like those of an unprofessional gourmet. Although they were a bit exaggerated, judging from her expression, the happiness that could be squeezed into her heart did not seem to be fake.
This made Ning Weimin a little surprised and a little unbelievable, "How come you haven't eaten it before?"
The majestic Asian singer has been famous for so many years, but she has never eaten bird's nest! Who can believe it?
What's more, in his memory, Ning Weimin seemed to remember that among Teresa Teng's ex-boyfriends, one of them seemed to be the young boss of the Shangri-La Group.
The Guo family is one of the most wealthy businessmen in Malaysia, and Malaysia is also one of the famous producing areas of bird's nests.
When we first started dating, even if he wanted to please his girlfriend, this little girl from the Guo family should have prepared some nourishing bird's nests for her to replenish her skin, right?
Just like now, every time Keiko Matsumoto comes to have a meal, it's because of Ning Weimin who gives her a message in advance.
Even if he is not present, his subordinates will know that they should serve such a small bowl to please the big star.
For people whose wealth base has reached a small goal, this is the minimum operation and is not considered a luxury.
Moreover, many female celebrities in Hong Kong and Taiwan have the habit of eating bird's nest for a long time.
"Really not. I am a child from a poor family. When I first started singing on stage at home, my income from singing had to help my parents support a large family. I couldn't afford it at that time. Later, I finally became famous and the money I earned
I can afford to eat more, but I don’t have much time to eat properly. I always eat under the stage of the restaurant where I sing as soon as I finish singing. Even though they are very famous restaurants, I will also deliberately sit down with a box of barbecued pork buns.
I feasted off the stage just to feast on the little sisters who were still singing on the stage. But after all, it was not a banquet. There would never be any expensive dishes. They were all things that were easy to eat. It was nothing more than fried noodles and noodles.
How come it’s always abalone, ginseng, and belly?”
However, what is even more unexpected is that Teresa Teng actually went through all kinds of hardships, but the reasons are convincing.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. It was actually after I came to Japan that I started to like eating expensive things. As the number of invitations to appear on famous TV programs increased, my songs became hot sellers, and the awards from the company became more and more generous. In
Before that, roadside food stalls and even small dirty stalls were what I ate most. Oh, by the way, I once had a friend who knew the bird's nest king in Malaysia and once gave me a big bag of bird's nests. It's just that
I was very busy at the time and couldn't take care of food and didn't know how to cook, so I sent it to my parents' house and kept it in the room where the sundries were piled up. As a result, my brothers shook it on the ground when they were looking for things last year.
They stepped on it and turned it into powder. It was all ruined. If I had known it smelled like this, huh, I would not have forgiven them so easily..."
That's right, listening to Teresa Teng's words, the friend mentioned should be the young master of the Guo family.
Ning Weimin finally understood what was going on.
But the more this happened, the more complicated his mood became, thinking that Teresa Teng had the guts to refuse the conditions of the old lady of the Guo family and give up the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family in order to preserve her self-esteem.
At this time, Ning Weimin looked at this Asian singer who had never even eaten bird's nest and died in her forties. Ning Weimin felt both admiration and admiration, but also mixed with unspeakable sadness.
So he turned around and called the waiter again, asking someone to bring Miss Deng another bowl of bird's nest immediately.
But he didn't expect that this time, his enthusiasm and good intentions would hit a snag. Teresa Teng, who was enjoying the delicious food, immediately shouted stop.
"No, no, that's enough for me, thank you."
She waved her hand and lowered her wrist.
"What? Is this enough? It doesn't matter, bird's nest is mild in nature, so eating a few more bowls will not hurt..."
"Nah."
Teresa Teng wiped the corners of her mouth, "I can't eat because I feel burdened. I want to ask some questions clearly first. Please answer me seriously, okay?"
If you are familiar with Teresa Teng, you will know that she has a rare serious attitude and is really getting down to business.
But Ning Weimin didn't know her well enough, so when he saw her looking slightly playful, he thought she was still being funny.
He said very easily, "No problem, please tell me."
As a result, I was careless and was unexpectedly attacked by Teresa Teng.
"I am really grateful that you have elevated me to such a high level, but I don't know how I can repay you? What exactly do you want me to do in return?"
"Ahem"...
Looking at Teresa Teng, Junning Weimin almost choked and waved her hands hurriedly, "Hey, why did you bring it up here all of a sudden? And it's too early to say this. This matter hasn't been done yet. Wasn't it agreed upon at the beginning?
? Just leave everything to me, and when things are really done, I will speak to you. "
"However, at first I didn't expect that you would go directly to the people who were blocking me from winning the award, and you would actually succeed in canvassing for votes. I originally thought that your kindness was limited to routine operations, so no matter whether things succeed or not, it's not a big deal for me.
It would be just fine to help your restaurant with a few performances to attract business. But now that you have managed to get through the top leaders of the two organizers, things are really starting to take shape, and the cost for this must be a huge amount.
According to my experience, the current record awards are all about money, money, money from beginning to end! It is definitely a big deal for you to create such a situation. I asked myself that there is nothing of equal value that I can give you in return, so I want to ask for a clear answer.
A person like you who is good at making money can't really engage in loss-making business, right?"
Don't really think that Teresa Teng looks sweet and has a clear and gentle singing voice. She is just a docile and good girl.
Bu Pupu started out in the world at the age of thirteen and was once the prospective daughter-in-law of the Malaysian Sugar King.
These few words were neither humble nor arrogant. Teresa Teng's grasp of the scale was so good that Ning Weimin was instantly impressed.
If Ning Weimin really had good intentions, then her move was aboveboard. She couldn't bear Ning Weimin's loss and asked him to put the exchange conditions on the table.
If Ning Weimin has any bad intentions, mentioning the vilification upfront like this is also a warning, reminding him that it is best to give up his unrealistic thoughts.
In short, she would not make Ning Weimin feel that his good intentions were betrayed, nor would she have any unrealistic expectations.
Seeing Minoru Funaki raised his head next to Teresa Teng, there was some unexplained speculation and wariness in his expression.
Even Akira Okamoto looked at him with eyes searching for the truth.
Ning Weimin has fully realized how shrewd and powerful this little woman is.
I know in my heart that this issue is not easy to deal with, otherwise it will definitely make people doubt my character.
There is no way, even if there is no time to make proper considerations, only by clarifying the general conditions quickly can both parties feel at ease and assured.
"Teresa, Teresa, your little temper is really straightforward. Well, in that case, I won't be polite. If this thing is done, there are some things I hope you can help as much as possible. For example
Said, when the movie "Li Xianglan" is released, I hope you can also help support the platform and participate in publicity activities..."
"That's right, brothers have to settle their accounts..."
Teresa Teng smiled sweetly and didn't mind bargaining at all. "Yes, it's a small matter. I agreed. President Funaki will help me coordinate the time. What else?"
Under her questioning, Ning Weimin thought for a while and then said.
"There are also some famous songs about you in Taurus Palace, as well as those songs that were popular back then. I want the copyright to cover and commercialize them in mainland China..."
Teresa Teng was still happy and did not consider Minoru Funaki's opinion at all.
"That's no problem. Just make a list for me which song you like."
If not for anything else, just because in Japan, at Taurus Records, Teresa Teng is the undoubted queen, a god-like existence.
Not only does everyone respect her, she also has absolute control over her records, and even all employees are proud of her service.
However, even if Ning Weimin made such a request, Teresa Teng still did not rub sand in her eyes. She did not think this was enough.
To be continued...
