Chapter 161: The Golden Couple, Perfectly Matched (Part 2)

“Online shopping? Isn’t there already Yiwugo? Moreover, Yiwugo is backed by the powerful E-Bay Company from America; its strength is formidable! His new company wants to compete with Yiwugo, isn’t this like using an egg to hit a stone?” someone’s words were full of mockery.

“You can’t say that! Before the development of the uu chat software, weren’t there many similar chat software on the market? Especially the chat software from Tencent, which already had two hundred million users! Yet, not long after the uu chat software was released, it acquired Tencent.”

“It’s a miracle in the history of the internet! A newly established internet company, in just a few days, acquired another internet company that had been established for four years! It’s like a snake swallowing an elephant!”

“Your analogy isn’t quite right! The reason why Li feng Network Company is so powerful is because of the high technical content of the chat software it developed! Even Tencent couldn’t replicate it! If they could, with their two hundred million users, they could definitely crush Li Feng Network Company!”

“How is this Tang Feng so awesome! He’s literally a versatile genius! Besides not being able to give birth, what is there that he can’t do?”

“That’s hard to say. Maybe one day he’ll make a major contribution to medical science, and then men can also give birth.”

“If men could really give birth, do you think many women would have men give birth?”

“Enough with the nonsense! I need to go back and check if the song Tang Feng sang is really original!”

“Remember to post on the BBS after you check!”

By this time, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli had already left the auditorium.

Su Ming and others approached them!

“Big Brother, what’s the name of the song you just sang? The auditorium was so noisy before you sang, I didn’t hear the announcement clearly,” Su Ming eagerly asked.

“‘Blue and White Porcelain,'” Tang Feng answered.

“The song’s title and lyrics really complement each other! Big Brother, I have to say, you’re truly talented! It seems, we are witnessing the rise of a singer,” Zhu Zihang didn’t hold back his praise.

“Zihang, don’t praise blindly! Big Brother’s singing level should be considered top among pop singers. As for being a singer, it’s a bit lacking,” Zhang Hao hurriedly said.

“Whether a singer or a pop singer, it doesn’t make much difference to me. I just want to create more popular songs. After all, in my view, art serves the public,” Tang Feng said lightly.

“Big Brother, your mindset is really extraordinary! I feel soon many record companies will come to you for cooperation! You can seriously consider which record company to sign with,” Su Ming suggested.

“I won’t sign with any record companies! If I want to release a new album, I can establish my own record company. If I cooperate with other record companies, they would definitely take a large share of the profits,” Tang Feng shared his thoughts.

“That makes sense,” Su Ming nodded, “Later, you can also sign some new singers! This way, you can definitely make more money.”

“Making money is not the most important thing for me! My idea is to sign some new singers and then write songs for them. I will create songs that suit their voices better,” Tang Feng said lightly.

“Tang Feng, your idea is really good! I’ve noticed that a singer’s signature song always matches them very well,” Ning Xiao agreed.

“Xiaoli, the calligraphy work you created tonight is also very excellent!” Yu Li naturally shifted the topic to Su Xiaoli.

“It’s okay. It’s mainly thanks to Tang Feng,” Su Xiaoli smiled shyly.

“Your collaboration is truly stunning! I hope to see more of your collaborations in the future,” Guan Qian sincerely said.

“Definitely! There will be!” Tang Feng nodded.

“It’s getting late! Let’s go for supper!” Su Xiaoli quickly changed the subject.

“Sure! Let’s go for supper!” The group cheerfully headed to a nearby barbecue restaurant.

Naturally, they had another feast!

Just after they finished their late-night snack, Tang Feng’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, seeing an unfamiliar number.

He hesitated for a moment but eventually pressed the answer button.

After all, not many people knew his phone number. It would be somewhat awkward not to answer if it was someone he knew.

“Hello! May I speak to Tang Feng?” a stranger’s voice came from the other end.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “Who’s this?”

“Hello, Tang Feng! I’m Song Lei from Brilliant Records! I’m calling to see if we can arrange a time to sit down and talk,” the person explained his intention.

“Are you planning to sign me?” Tang Feng guessed.

“Yes,” Song Lei nodded, “Our company indeed intends to do so. If you agree, we can set a time to have a good talk.”

“How did you get my contact information?” Tang Feng was a bit puzzled.

“A friend of mine, who is a teacher at your school. She didn’t have your contact information, so she asked another friend for it! As to whom she got it from, I’m not quite sure,” Song Lei answered.

“Sorry, but I’m not interested in collaborating with any record companies,” Tang Feng politely declined.

“Tang Feng, don’t rush to refuse. Let’s meet and talk about it! Maybe you’ll be interested in what I have to offer,” Song Lei spoke calmly.

“Mr. Song, have you been in the record industry for many years?” Tang Feng asked.

“Yes,” Song Lei nodded, “I’ve been in this field for about fifteen years.”

“Fifteen years is not a short time. How about this? I plan to establish a new record company, and you can come over as the general manager,” Tang Feng negotiated.

Song Lei was stunned by the proposal!

He even doubted if he had heard correctly.

After all, he called Tang Feng to get him to sign with his record company.

But Tang Feng wanted to poach him directly!

This was getting interesting.

“Tang Feng, the record industry is quite complex. You’ve just started university and are inexperienced. There’s no need to enter this field. With your singing talent and songwriting skills, it’s better to sign with a professional record company,” Song Lei earnestly advised.

“You’re right!” Tang Feng nodded, “I agree with you! That’s why I want to establish a record company and then sign with it. This way, most of the profits would be mine.”

“I understand your point. You don’t want the record company to take too much profit. But without the operation of a professional record company, even if your songs are good, you might not make much money,” Song Lei reminded.

“That’s why I want to establish a record company and have you manage it. Don’t worry, I won’t treat you unfairly! I’ll give you shares!” Tang Feng spoke generously.

“But… Tang Feng, if the record company only has you as a signed artist, wouldn’t I be your exclusive consultant?” Song Lei worriedly asked.

“Of course not! You’re the head of the record company, not my exclusive consultant. Besides, the company won’t only have me as an artist; more artists will join later,” Tang Feng explained.

“When are you free? Let’s meet and talk about this in person. Discussing this over the phone doesn’t seem right,” Song Lei suggested.

“Sure! Let’s meet tomorrow morning at 8 at the south gate of Jingcheng University,” Tang Feng readily agreed.
