After sending Ni Ying home, Sun Hao went upstairs and quietly opened the door. Sun Hao thought that it was already very late and his parents should be asleep, but he didn't expect to see the light in the living room when he walked into the house. His father, Sun Jianming, and his mother, Huang Shufen, were sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Sun Hao to return.
"Dad, Mom, why aren't you sleeping yet? It's already so late." Sun Hao put down his bag and asked his parents who were sitting on the sofa.
"Haohao, I received a call from your homeroom teacher today. She said that you're going to B City tomorrow, right?”Seeing that her son had returned so late, her mother, Huang Shufen, was very worried, but she still asked about the most important thing first.
"Yes, Mom. If you didn't ask me, I would have told you. I was practicing band with my classmates some time ago. You know this too. We participated in a competition today and won the championship in City H. We'll be participating in the finals tomorrow.”Sun Hao was thinking about how to tell his parents that he was going to City B this time. Seeing that his mother already knew, he told her the truth.
"Haohao, Mom doesn't object to you participating in any competition. Mom also knows that you're very talented in music, but isn't it a little too far to go to B City this time?”Her mother, Huang Shufen, was still very happy that her son had a specialty. However, Sun Hao had never been too far away from her since he was young. This time, he had to go so far away all of a sudden. As a mother, she was still worried.
"Mom, don't worry. This time, many of us will go together. There's also Brother Li. He's the tutor you found, so don't you trust him? And a few of our classmates. We're all big kids now. Mom, you don't have to worry.”Sun Hao walked up to his mother, Huang Shufen, and sat beside her.
His father, Sun Jianming, was listening from the side. Although he was not worried about his son's safety because he had heard that this competition was national and that safety was guaranteed, Sun Jianming was most worried about his son's studies. So he said to Sun Hao, who was sitting on the sofa,"Haohao, I don't really object to you participating in any competition this time, but it will take at least a few days for you to participate in the competition. The final exams are coming up, you have to revise.”
Knowing that his father, Sun Jianming, was the most worried about his studies, Sun Hao thought for a moment and smiled."Dad, don't worry. You don't have to worry about your studies.”
"What do you mean don't worry? As a father, if I don't care about your studies, who will?”Although Sun Jianming knew that missing a week of classes wouldn't affect Sun Hao's grades too much, he was afraid that Sun Hao's grades would be affected if he kept doing this in the future.
"Dad, actually, I've already mastered the high school and even university courses.”Seeing that Sun Jianming was still worried about him, Sun Hao had no choice but to say this. Otherwise, Sun Jianmin would definitely not let him go.
"What is it? What did you just say? He knew all the courses in high school and university? When did you learn it?" When he heard Sun Hao say that he would take high school or even university courses, Sun Jianmin couldn't help but ask in surprise. Why didn't he know when his son started learning these things?
"It's like this. During the holidays, I read all the high school courses. Don't you have books from high school to university in your room? I'll go in and take a look when I'm free. I'll learn it after seeing it for a long time.”Afraid that Sun Jianmin wouldn't believe him, Sun Hao carefully explained to his father.
"You know all the university courses? I have a set of college entrance exam questions here. It's the same as the college entrance exam. Do it first and let me take a look.”After his father, Sun Jianming, finished speaking, he stood up and walked into his room. Not long after, he brought out a few papers and placed them in front of Sun Hao. He said,"These are the questions. As long as you can meet our admission standards, I won't care about your studies in the future.”
"Jianming, let's talk about it in the future. It's already so late, and there's no rush. The child is already so old. He won't lie.”At this time, his mother, Huang Shufen, came out to help. Although he didn't quite believe that his son was as noble as she said, he was still his son. No matter what, he had to protect him.
"It's okay, Mom. If I say I know how to do it, then I know how to do it.”Sun Hao picked up the roll of paper and saw that the questions on it were indeed similar to the college entrance examination. Since Sun Hao in the future did very well in the college entrance examination, these questions were not a problem. Therefore, he picked up the pen and began to do the paper.
Sun Hao's speed was very fast. In less than 20 minutes, he had already finished the first subject's paper. Sun Jianmin picked up the paper that Sun Hao had finished and looked at it. He couldn't help but be surprised because more than 95% of the questions on the paper were correct. Moreover, Sun Hao answered so quickly, which made Sun Jianming even more surprised.
"Dad, do you think I did okay?”Looking at his father's surprised expression, Sun Hao smiled and said to his father,""Dad, do you think I can go to B City now?”
"Alright, I didn't expect you to really have this knowledge. In that case, I won't object to you. However, you must be careful when you get there. Whether you get a place or not is secondary. The key is to pay attention to your safety.”Seeing his son working so hard, Sun Jianming was very pleased. Therefore, he didn't object to Sun Hao going to B City.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The next morning, Sun Hao arrived at Prince's Music Store early. When he entered, he saw that everyone had already arrived. They began to tidy up their things.
"Sun Hao, I won't be going to B City this time. I still have a shop here. Be careful there and try your best to get good results.”Seeing that they were almost ready, the fat boss walked out of the room and said to Sun Hao and the others.
"Thank you, we will take good care of ourselves. Just wait here for the news of our victory, haha.”Lu Yifei said to the fat boss with a smile.
"You're the most impetuous among these people. Learn more from Sun Hao and the others in the future.”Hearing Lu Yifei's words, the fat boss teased.
"Alright, we're almost done with our preparations.”Sun Hao turned around and glanced at Ni Ying, who was helping him pack his things, then said to the others.
"Please wait a moment." At this moment, the door of the piano store was opened.
"Please wait a moment." A person walked in.
Sun Hao looked in the direction of the voice. It was Song Ming, the manager of Golden Classic Records. He pushed the door open and came in panting. When he saw Sun Hao and the others, he immediately strode over to Sun Hao.
"Hello, Sun Hao. It's a good thing you didn't leave. I have something to discuss with you.”Song Ming looked very anxious. He didn't care about the people around him and said to Sun Hao directly.
"Oh? Mr. Song, why are you looking for me?”Could it be that he wanted to buy the copyright of the song 'Meteor Shower' from me? Sun Hao thought, but this song was definitely not for sale.
"Sun Hao, it's like this. Our company is now solemnly inviting your band to sign a contract with our company.”Although he had been rejected last time, Song Ming's goal this time was to sign the entire Haotian band, not just Sun Hao. It had never been a problem of not being able to sign if Sun Hao refused alone.
"Sign a band? We're going to B City soon. If it's about signing the contract, let's talk about it when we come back from B City.”Hearing that the other party was here to talk about signing the contract again, Sun Hao was a little impatient. However, with so many people in the piano store, it would be embarrassing for Song Ming. He could only delay it for a while and refuse when he returned.
"Our company gives you a salary of one million a year. This is already the treatment of an A-list band.”" What a joke." Song Ming thought," If I wait for you to go to B City and you win an award, I won't be able to get this number when I come back. It's easier to sign it now."
"Phew!" The members of the Haotian band all sucked in a breath of cold air. One million yuan, and it was a year's salary. On average, they could get more than 200,000 yuan a year. This was more than all the savings in their family. The crowd, who had never seen so much money before, was already a little tempted. Only Sun Hao's expression was still indifferent.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Song. We haven't considered signing the contract for the time being. We'll discuss it later. If it's possible, I'll take the initiative to call you.”Sun Hao said to Song Ming indifferently. One million to buy all four of them? He could casually borrow a few songs from the future, and in a year, it would be more than one million. However, even though he thought this way, he still had to put on a facade, so Sun Hao was still quite polite to Song Ming.
"We can still improve your treatment. As long as you can sign a contract with our company, everything is negotiable.”Song Ming couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Sun Hao reject his conditions. As early as when Song Ming came out, the manager had already told him that he had to sign the Haotian Band today no matter what. Although he didn't know why the manager insisted on signing Sun Hao and the others, he had to obey the orders of his boss. Therefore, Song Ming couldn't care about anything else and was ready to raise the price.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Song. We have to catch a plane and don't have time to chat with you here.”Sun Hao said politely to Song Ming, then turned to the crowd and said,""Alright, we should go. Everyone, take your things and get in the car.”
Hearing Sun Hao's words, the members of Haotian were still a little moved by Song Ming's words. However, since Sun Hao did not agree to sign the contract, they could not say anything. They carried their equipment and luggage and walked out of Prince's Music Store. They got into the car called by the fat boss who had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Student Sun Hao, wait a moment, Student Sun Hao.”Song Ming hurriedly chased after him, hoping to change Sun Hao's mind, but Sun Hao had already closed the door.
Looking at the car slowly leaving, Song Ming shook his head with a bitter smile. It seemed that he really couldn't explain today's errand to his boss.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The car was driving towards the airport.
Everyone was looking at Sun Hao. They didn't understand why Sun Hao had rejected the invitation of Song Ming, the manager of Golden Classic Records. However, Sun Hao was resting with his eyes closed at the moment, so it wasn't good to disturb him at this time. Everyone had their own thoughts. Only Ni Ying didn't think as much as everyone else. In her heart, everything Sun Hao said was right and reasonable, so she wasn't in the mood to ask so many questions. At this moment, Ni Ying was leaning on Sun Hao's shoulder, feeling his parting aura.
After a while, Sun Hao slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but laugh."Are you guys asking me why I rejected that manager's conditions?”
Seeing that Sun Hao started to speak, Lu Yifei was the first to say," Yeah, is there a need to ask? One million, big brother. That's one million yuan. I've never seen so much money in my life, and it's for a year. You, you, you…you prodigal child.”
"Yes." Song Chunfeng hit Lu Yifei's head and said,"How can you talk to Captain like that? However, Ah Hao, I'm also puzzled. Although I know you don't care about money, one million is not a small amount. Just like Lu Yifei said, to be able to transfer so much money in a year is already the treatment of an A-list band. We're working so hard now to become an A-list band. Since the conditions have been met, why not agree?”
"Big Brother Li, I know what you guys are thinking. I also know that one million is indeed not a small amount, but have you thought about it? Once we sign the contract, we will be bound. At that time, it was different. There were many things that bound us. Sometimes, we didn't want to do things, but we had to do them because of the contract.”Sun Hao explained to everyone.
Pausing for a moment, Sun Hao continued,""Moreover, we're different from you. We're still junior high school students. At the very least, we still have to go to school. But have you ever thought that we can sign a contract for a lifetime? So what we have to do now is to keep strengthening ourselves and keep working hard so that we can do better. If we sign the contract, we won't have so much free time now. Our level will stagnate. This was something that a small one billion yuan could not compare to.”
Actually, there was one more thing that Sun Hao didn't say. Sun Hao knew that Golden Code Company wouldn't last long before it went into a slump. At that time, let alone one million yuan, the company might not even be able to fork out 500,000 yuan or even 50,000 yuan. Wouldn't signing a contract with this company now drag everyone into the fire pit? Moreover, even if he signed the contract, it would not be one million yuan. Sun Hao was not interested in a one-time salary, but in the profit sharing. A fixed salary was only a fixed amount of money every year, but the profit salary was different.
For example, if Sun Hao and the others could release a record, according to the 10% royalty, a typical record would cost 30 to 50 yuan per chapter. Then, if Sun Hao and the others released a record and sold a million copies, that would be 3 to 5 million yuan in revenue. Moreover, if the record was of good quality and sold well, it was not impossible for the global sales to exceed 10 million. In that case, it would be tens of millions of yuan in revenue. In addition, when they became famous in the future, they would receive advertising endorsement fees, copyright additional fees, and so on. It was far from what a mere one billion could compare to.
Hearing Sun Hao's idea, the people in the car, including Ni Ying, nodded. Sun Hao was more specific.
" After hearing Hao's words, I also feel that it was right not to agree to the contract today," Song Chunfeng said." If we sign the contract, we won't be able to regret anything."”
"Hehe, alright, don't think about it anymore. We'll have plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. Don't worry too much about what's in front of us.”Sun Hao said to everyone with a smile.
As the few of them chatted, the car passed through the airport highway and arrived at City H Airport.
