  Chapter 14 Black Belly

  Lin Zhibai woke up again at six in the morning. Today, he didn’t hear screams coming from his sister’s room. After reading the message in the address book, he realized that "Sorrow" finally rushed to the second place in the season list.

   Lin Zhibai is satisfied with this result.

   Click on "Sorrow" on Huoshaoyun, and he looked at the comments of the song with a relatively high number of likes.

   Hot review first.

"Raise a glass of wine, toast the sun and the moonlight, this is my day; toast to my hometown, and to the distant place, this is my year; toast to tomorrow and the past, this is my half life; toast to freedom with a toast Death, this is my life."

   The second most popular review.

  "Single cycle for ten days, life will always be unsatisfactory, but you always have to cheer up and start again. Where there is light, there is darkness. Life is a happy place, and after all, we have to go forward indomitably."

  The third hot comment.

  "A sober person often dies from anger and ignorance, and a numb person is often unscathed."

  The fourth hot comment.

   "What I love is not maybe the song, what I love is the faint confusion, the faint helplessness, the slightest hesitation, the strands of sadness in this deep and dark night. After dawn, I am still me, full of vigor and no sorrow."

  Hot review fifth...

The hot comments in the front row are very offensive. With such a strong sense of sight, Lin Zhibai couldn't tell whether it was Huoshaoyun or Netease Cloud in his previous life. Fortunately, the comments in the back were mainly in vernacular, but in fact No matter what the comment is, it is always an expression of love for this song. Those who don't like it rarely have nothing to comment and criticize.

   I don’t know the performance of this song, what kind of performance is it for my sister?

  At this moment, the sound of the system suddenly sounded in Lin Zhibai's ear.

   "Ding Dong."

   "Crimson."

  Lin Zhibai said hello in his heart.

   Scarlet's voice was the same as before, without any emotional ups and downs.

   "Congratulations to the host, your reputation has exceeded 100,000, reaching 160,000, and now you have a chance to draw a lottery."

   "Is there a mistake?"

  Lin Zhibai frowned, he clearly saw that the number of downloads of "Sorrow" has exceeded 16 million.

   As a result, the prestige was only settled to 160,000, and there was only one chance to draw a lottery.

  Crimson explained: "The system has a set of professional reputation calculation formulas. Every time the host gains 100,000 reputations, he will get a chance to draw a lottery."

  The final interpretation of the legend belongs to the system?

  Lin Zhibai pondered: "That means that my reputation has reached 160,000 now, and if I have another 40,000, I can get a second chance to draw a lottery, right?"

   Scarlet: "Yes."

  Lin Zhibai made a rough estimate.

  When the downloads of "Sorrow" break through 20 million, I should get another chance to draw a lottery.

   Looking at the current upward trend of this song, it should only be a matter of time before the number of downloads reaches 20 million.

  The season list is just the beginning for a song, not the end.

  Under normal circumstances, songs that can enter the season list will have particularly tenacious vitality. If the potential is strong enough, there may be a steady stream of new listeners to like and download them throughout the next year.

  Based on this calculation, the chances of the lottery draw given by the system are not too small.

  Because everything is the most difficult at the beginning, when I have more songs in the future, the accumulation speed will be faster and faster, and there will be more and more lucky draw opportunities.

   With this in mind.

  Lin Zhibai said: "First draw a wave of prizes."

  The voice fell.

A turntable appeared in front of Lin Zhibai's eyes. The turntable could not see clearly what was written on it, and the scrolling speed was very fast. After a few seconds, it gradually slowed down until it stopped, and then the system gave a prompt: "Congratulations to the host for getting the song "For Myself" Song"!"

coming.

  Lin Zhibai's eyes flashed, and he immediately clicked on the song.

  As Lin Zhibai's head felt a little numb, he already fully understood all the information about this song.

   This song has a great background, and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Song of the Year.

   Lyricist Li Zongsheng, composer Li Zongsheng, original singer Li Zongsheng, the godfather of music.

   Later, Pan Yueming, Yang Zongwei, GAI and others all sang it, each with its own interpretation.

  However, there was a popular saying in the music circle in the previous life that "you don't listen to Li Zongsheng when you are young". The group who pay attention to the season list must be mainly young people in Qinzhou. Young listeners are the most mainstream and core user group of the season list.

  Although there is no problem with the quality of this song, it is worth savoring again and again, but its style does not seem to be suitable for ranking...

   Forget it, let’s not worry about this issue for now.

   Right now, the question Lin Zhibai needs to consider is who to ask for cooperation.

   This song can no longer be collaborated with Lin Shouzhuo. No matter how amateur Lin Zhibai is, he knows that this young rookie is not suitable for this kind of song. This time, he must find a more experienced singer to cooperate with.

   When we go back to have breakfast, let’s talk to my sister about recording the song.

  …

   At 7:30 in the morning, the nanny made breakfast.

  When Lin Xi arrived at the restaurant downstairs, he saw that Lin Zhibai was already sitting there drinking soy milk, and he raised his head to say hello to her.

"morning."

"morning."

  Lin Xi sat down across the table, "After your recovery, you get up earlier than me every day."

   "Go to bed early."

  Lin Zhibai finished speaking and asked: "When will the download share of "Xiaochou" be released?"

  Lin Xi laughed, "It's usually issued on the second of every month. You took second place in the season rankings last month. In addition to the normal share, the company will also issue an additional bonus."

"How much?"

  Lin Zhibai was looking forward to it.

  Lin Xi pondered and said: "The extra bonus for the second place in the season list is 700,000, plus the sales share of "Sorrow" last month, you will get about 2.4 million."

  Only over two million?

  Lin Zhibai frowned slightly.

   This little money is not enough for him to carry out the second step of the plan.

   Regarding how to fight for family property, Lin Zhibai already has a rough plan in mind, and the early stage can be divided into two steps.

  The first step.

  Lin Zhibai wants to support a trustworthy person in the company.

  Lin Zhibai's first choice is Lin Xi, and his sister is one of his most trusted people.

Shinhwa Entertainment's performance is king. As long as Lin Zhibai helps her sister to improve the performance of the thirteenth music department, she should be able to get promoted smoothly in the future, and then she will have a few uncles and cousins. power-grabbing capital.

   Besides, my sister's ability to work is not a problem.

  Before recording songs in the thirteenth department of music, Lin Zhibai was not just recording songs, he also quietly observed the operation of the department, and got some useful information from side-by-side.

  After observing Lin Zhibai, I found that my sister has a deep control over the department, and the employees of the 13th music department who came into contact with her spoke highly of her. She is a very popular supervisor.

  As for the performance of my sister's department?

  Thinking about it, I know that my sister's department performance will not be very good.

   This has nothing to do with my sister's personal work ability, but with my family's situation in the company. Even if a capable person is suppressed by the high-level, it will be difficult to do things.

   And the second step of the plan...

   This step takes a long time to prepare, because Lin Zhibai has no money!

  He must accumulate enough original capital to reach the threshold of a small private equity fund.

  At the same time, Lin Zhibai had to choose someone to be the manager of his private equity fund, and he, the youngest son of a chaebol, had to hide behind the scenes.

Why?

  Because the foundation of Lin Zhibai's family in the mythology is too shallow!

If Lin Zhibai was only supporting his family and his brothers and uncles to seize power within the company, then there would be too little room for manipulation. You must know that those uncles have already occupied high positions in the group, and the cousins ​​also have certain words in the company. right.

  Official senior level crushes people to death.

  With the deliberate suppression of these people, my family members are always dancing in shackles while working in Shinhwa.

  So Lin Zhibai needs to help his family internally with a public identity, and at the same time quietly establish an investment institution, manipulate it with the mask of a private equity fund, and participate in the operation of Shinhwa from the outside to achieve the purpose of helping his family.

  System in hand.

  Lin Zhibai has the confidence.

  At the same time, Lin Zhibai doesn’t have to worry about his external identity being discovered, because the basic business rules of Blue Star are very similar to those of Earth, with only a few differences.

  Lin Zhibai can completely control investment institutions through private equity funds. No matter who checks the most, he can only find out the nominal investor of the private equity fund.

  As for the actual funder?

  Sorry, we are a private equity fund and have no obligation to disclose it to the public.

  From this perspective, Lin Xi's evaluation of his younger brother's "black belly" is not an exaggeration.

  It's just that Lin Xi at this moment doesn't know that her black-bellied younger brother has so many calculations in her heart, she stares at Lin Zhibai with great interest, "How do you plan to squander such a large sum of money?"

   "Still considering."

  Lin Zhibai didn't want to reveal his plan, after all he was still a seventeen-year-old boy in the eyes of his family.

  Lin Xi teased: "I thought you would consider buying a sports car. Most of the second generation of wealthy families at your age like to play with cars and women. Wouldn't it be beautiful to drive a luxury car with your sister in black silk?"

   "I don't have a driver's license yet."

   "You can learn without a driver's license, and I can teach you by hand, my sister's driving skills are thief six."

   "Are you serious driving skills?"

   "I have a driver's license!"

  Lin Xi changed the topic suddenly: "Do you still have the song in your hand?"

  Lin Zhibai sighed softly: "Your abacus has come into my bowl."

  Lin Xi giggled.

  My younger brother has proved through "Sorrow" that he does have the ability to create music.

   And Lin Xi, who has been in the industry for so many years, of course knows that works of the quality of "Sorrow" are often hard to come by. Composing music requires both talent and inspiration.

  But Lin Xi didn't expect his younger brother to come up with another song of the level of "Sorrow".

  She just thought that if her younger brother still had stock, the requirements were not too high, if he could meet half the standard of "Sorrow" he would be qualified!

  If there is no stock, based on Lin Xi's experience, after a composer completes the creation of a song like "Sorrow", it often takes several months to accumulate if he wants to write another qualified new song.

  Even this song "Dissipating Sorrow" may be Lin Zhibai's short-lived brilliant moment.

  Lin Xi has seen too many composers who disappeared like meteors in the circle. They often disappear completely after writing a work that astonishes countless people.

"I…"

  Lin Zhibai was about to say that he still had a song in his hand, but a pleasant system prompt sounded in his ear: "Congratulations to the host for triggering a new mission!"

  The next moment, several lines of subtitles appeared in front of Lin Zhibai's eyes.

  【Task Name: Hitting the Season Ranking】

  【Mission content: Too many musicians in the industry who passed away in a flash turned into shooting stars, which makes people wonder if you are also a flash in the pan. In the name of Baidi, the host, in the name of Baidi, leads the thirteen mythical music to hit the top ten of the season rankings again! 】

  【Task Remarks: If the host reaches the top of the season leaderboard, he will receive additional rewards. 】

  Lin Zhibai Le is gone.

   Is this wave of whoring the system free?

   Regardless of whether the system has tasks or not, he will release songs next.

   But this mission prompt is very interesting, will there be additional rewards for being number one on the season leaderboard?

  Lin Zhibai felt that this additional question was a bit difficult. The style of this song is very special, and it is not dominant in the charts. How could he be number one in the season charts?

never mind.

  I don't think so much anymore, the worst thing I can do is to give up this additional question, just take over the task first, Lin Zhibai thought slightly, and looked up at his sister.

   "Have you finished eating?"

"ah?"

  Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to hear Lin Zhibai's implication, and suddenly got up and said:

   "You wouldn't..."

  Lin Zhibai wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully, "Let's go to the company together after eating."
