of course, zhou juelun was no longer in need of money now, and although the price zhang menglong offered was hard to refuse, his priorities had shifted from career and creative work to life and family. even if he never worked another day, he could remain a happy millionaire, so he turned down zhang menglong's invitation. however, he promised zhang menglong that should he hold a concert in the future, he would reserve the best seats for him, or if they both had time, they could also meet up to sing together. "alright, 2.5 billion has reached your account, and i've already paid the taxes for you." "mr. zhang is so generous!" paying taxes on 2.5 billion would usually result in a staggering amount, and most singers and actors employ various methods to avoid or evade taxes. zhang menglong voluntarily paying taxes and even covering it himself was indeed a breath of fresh air. "juelun, the money is in your account," zhou juelun's assistant said. with 2.5 billion credited, even zhou juelun couldn't help but smile. even if his former company took a share, this money was enough to double his personal assets—a single deal equivalent to all his past efforts; how could that not make him happy? having signed the contract, this meant that from now on, aside from zhang menglong's company, any other party distributing zhou juelun's works online would be infringing copyright. be it tengxun music or any other platform, they had permanently lost their competitive edge over zhou juelun's output. even because zhang menglong had bought the cover rights, as soon as their existing rights expired, those songs would be forced off the shelves, or else they would face a lawyer's warning from zhang menglong. "by the way, are we still going to the next event?" zhang menglong asked. "not going anymore," zhou juelun said with a smile, "since the rights have been sold to mr. zhang, there's no need to go." "dani," zhou juelun told his assistant, "buy the tickets, we are going back." "no need for that trouble," zhang menglong said, "hong yi, arrange it for me, send director zhou back with my private jet, and on the way back, help me bring a genuine oyster omelette." "mr. zhang, that won't be necessary," zhou juelun thought zhang menglong would have a private plane since he himself owned a private plane worth over a hundred million, but he cherished it too much to use it just to send a guest. "no worries, it's alright, i have more than a dozen private planes in modi city." "more than a dozen..." "don't feel burdened, i mainly want to eat the oyster omelette, sending you back is just incidental." using a private jet to fetch takeout for an authentic oyster omelette? are you kidding me? zhou juelun and his assistant could never comprehend the thought processes of someone like zhang menglong, which they considered outlandishly lavish. with that kind of money, one could hire a chef specializing in oyster omelettes to cook for him full-time. "haha, actually, i do have a chef," zhang menglong said, "i just forgot to bring him from jiangnan city, the chefs from bao island province here went home to visit their families for a couple of days." "damn it!" ding yuxi slammed his phone hard onto the ground. acquiring domestic artists' copyrights wasn't hard, but foreign ones, that was a whole different story. not to mention anything else, two years ago, domestic platforms had already lost the rights to the group called "big bang." but zhang menglong actually managed to buy them, and for 10 years! "awesome! boss zhang is just boss zhang, so dominant!" "holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! finally, a platform like this has emerged; i've been waiting for years!" "no need to recharge for vip to listen! my god! even if it requires recharging vip, i would still be willing!" "wuwu, my youth is over." "okay, i've already deleted tengxun music and wangyi music." "the one above, i deleted them too, and also left a 1-star bad review!" experience tales at empire "hahaha!" "damn, has music forest been bombarded yet?" "what is he aiming for, spending so much money and not charging?" "aiming for you not taking a bath!" "aiming because you are handsome." ... "boss ding, our app's download volume is plummeting!" "the rating has also been brushed down!" "boss ding, think of something quick, at this rate, by the time our purchased copyrights expire, our platform will collapse!" "he is simply a madman!" ding yuxi suddenly remembered zhang menglong's words, this was not going to be an easy matter to resolve!
