Chapter 161 Thank you, Minister Noda

Chairman Ka: "Is that so?"

Noda sensed something was wrong.

Watanabe's smile gradually faded.

Zhang Zhen squinted, realizing that something was wrong.

Li Zhaoyang: "Yes, if the filming location issue can be resolved, I might have more time to refine the music."

"This is indeed a difficult problem, but I'm not in charge of the film and television industry, so I can't help Representative Li much. Do any of you three have any good suggestions?"

Chairman Ka turned his gaze to Noda and the other two.

Since these three people kept referring to Li Zhaoyang, it was clear that they wanted to win him over, so we decided to give them the opportunity directly.

The three of them, Noda, remained silent, exchanging bewildered glances.

“I heard…” A wicked smile appeared on Li Zhaoyang’s face, but it disappeared the next second: “I heard that Sihai Group has signed contracts with a lot of scenic spots these past two days. I wonder if I could spend a little money to get Sihai Group to sign a suitable scenic spot as a filming location?”

Baka!

Fuck you!

Those damn bastards, so this is where they were waiting for us!

Want to reap the rewards without sowing?

Keep dreaming!

Noda Kazuto's anger gradually surfaced, but he couldn't let it out in front of Chairman Ka.

Watanabe realized to himself that things were going badly; they had fallen into a trap.

Zhang Zhen has realized that this is very likely orchestrated by that woman Zhang Shulan behind the scenes.

"Noda, speak up." Chairman Ka disliked Noda's silence. He had been calling him "teacher" just now, and now that there was a chance to win him over, why was he acting like a mute?

“I…” Noda Kazuto’s face was full of bitterness: “It…it is true, but those filming locations…”

“In that case, I’ll thank Noda on behalf of Chairman Ka for his generosity!” Li Zhaoyang pulled the chairman in, even emphasizing the words “Chairman Ka”: “I wonder how much Mr. Noda would ask for if he were to transfer a suitable 5A scenic spot to our Sunset?”

Noda Ito: o_o? ? ?

Baka yarou!

Did I say I wanted to transfer a venue to you?

How treacherous the Chinese are!

Damn it, you expect us, Sihai Group, to find you a location to photograph the sunset?

Noda Kazuto recalled the scandal of spending money to promote Starlight and Sunset a while ago.

It was Zhang Shulan's doing back then, and it's absolutely her doing now too.

Moreover, with Chairman Ka here, it would be inappropriate to ask for too high a price, and if the price is too low, wouldn't their Sihai Group be tricked by Wanxia again?

What a vicious plan! This bitch has a terrible conscience!

"Insidious Chinese, despicable Chinese, shit-eating Chinese!!" Noda Kazuto's inner thoughts were very complex, and he kept using his eyes to plead for help from Watanabe and Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen had no better solution. As a Chinese, he knew how terrifying Zhang Shulan was. This woman was probably well-versed in military strategy and the Thirty-Six Stratagems. She either didn't act at all, or when she did, she was so vicious.

Watanabe was more emotional, standing aside gritting his teeth. He had previously mocked Zhang Shulan for being reckless and Li Zhaoyang for being dim-witted.

In less than an hour, they suffered a huge loss.

As for the filming location, Sunset will definitely be able to resolve that.

The only thing to do is try not to lose out on the price.

If I lose out on the price again, I won't be able to sleep well tonight!

No!

How will I be able to sleep tonight?

Noda Kazuto considered that Chairman Ka was getting impatient, so he came up with a suitable price, but before he could speak, someone beat him to it.

"Free? How can that be?" Li Zhaoyang began his performance: "Sihai Group has solved such a big problem for us. We don't want to take advantage of the price, so I, Li Zhaoyang, will pay out of my own pocket to acquire the largest 5A scenic spot at three times the price."

three times?

Eat shit! Chairman Ka is right here. Why would I ask for double the price? This is clearly intentional.

"Um... no need for three times, that's not good."

Just as Noda was about to add that about 30% over would be fine, that shameless bastard Li Zhaoyang ran over, grabbed his hand, and said gratefully, "No money? Noda-kun, you are the most conscientious capitalist I have ever met. The largest 5A scenic spot is actually giving us a free filming location. That's great, Chairman Ka. Noda-kun has solved our problem of the sunset!"

Baka!

You slut!

When did I say I was giving it to you for free?

I only said I didn't want it to be tripled, not that it would be free!

How could the people of China be so insidious?

"No... Chairman Ka, I didn't..." Noda Kazuto saw Chairman Ka smiling and nodding at Li Zhaoyang and himself, and realized that it was no longer appropriate to bring up the price at this time.

The most crucial thing is that Li Zhaoyang is really ruthless.

Before Chairman Ka realized what was going on, Li Zhaoyang went even further, adding, "After all, a 5A scenic spot is a major tourism project, and we at Wanxia can't just take it for free. How about this, if Sihai Group wants to shoot any big annual movie next time, we at Wanxia will take care of your biggest movie music order. It's the biggest order, you know, and we absolutely won't let Sihai Group suffer even the slightest loss!"

day!

We're giving you a free travel package, and you still want our group's largest film and music order?

You're dreaming!

Do people in China all like to daydream?

Seeing such a harmonious scene, Chairman Ka quickly waved his hand and said, "Noda, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? Your company is now in a win-win situation, right? The biggest movie music order has been given to Wanxia. With Representative Li in charge, you definitely won't suffer any losses."

Noda Ito:? ? ?

Chairman Ka, are you serious?

Chairman Ka, I'll f*** your mother!

The largest orders are usually placed with music companies that Sihai Group has been interested in and has been cooperating with for a long time.

With just one sentence from Li Zhaoyang, he's now bound to the Four Seas.

Moreover, this was witnessed by Chairman Ka.

In this way, if Sihai Group wants to make moves against Wanxia in the future, it will have to avoid Chairman Ka.

But Chairman Ka is the head of the American Writers Association. With such a high status, how could he possibly avoid it?

Alternatively, once the order is completed and the basis for cooperation is lost, Sihai Group can openly pursue Wanxia.

Cheap goods, cheap goods, cheap goods!!!

Witnessing everything, Zhang Shulan was deeply shocked. When did Zhaoyang become so shrewd?

I thought it was just about solving the problem of the filming location, but with just one sentence, it also solved the problem of the Sihai Group's potential retaliation against Wanxia.

This is the largest order they've ever received. With this cooperative relationship in place, Sihai Group can't openly retaliate against Wanxia.

This kills two birds with one stone!

Of course, unless Noda Kazuto simply denies it, since no contract was signed anyway.

but.

Does he dare?

Chairman Ka is a witness.

Unless Noda doesn't want to work in the music industry anymore.

At this moment, Noda was inwardly wanting to kill Li Zhaoyang's entire family, but he had to force a smile on his face: "Chairman... Chairman Ka, the biggest film music order, how about... how about we just forget about it? Just give us the filming location..."

His voice trembled as he spoke.

It's like a mute eating bitter melon; now I have a bitter pill to swallow but can't express it.

"How can we just let it go? Do you want to let the sunset take your filming location for free?"

Chairman Ka thought to himself, "How can Noda have such low emotional intelligence and be so bad at interpersonal relationships? He's already said all this, does he want Representative Li to owe him a favor?"

That's quite a scheme.

Chairman Ka didn't want his association's representatives to owe him favors.

Human relationships are something that, while not necessarily expensive, cannot be measured in monetary terms.

Therefore, the best option is to use something else to replace compensation.

"I..." Noda Kazuto gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and used all his strength to suppress his anger, forcing a smile as he said, "...Okay...Okay, Chairman, I...I understand."

He felt completely powerless, but was seething with rage.

Li Zhaoyang: "Minister Noda, let's start signing the contract in a bit. With the contract, you'll surely feel more secure, Minister Noda."

Noda Ito:

You despicable Li, you have a terrible conscience!
