Chapter 247: The Concert (Part 4)

Zheng Qian was not going to the restroom.

Instead, he came directly to the backstage lounge.

"Who is in charge here?" Zheng Qian asked directly.

In the lounge, several agency managers led by Manager Nie Kai were stunned.

Who is this kid?

Looking at his flashy clothes, the expensive watch on his wrist, his youth, and his arrogant demeanor, he must be some local rich second-generation from Jiangnan, right?

So what if he is a rich second-generation?

They were an agency from Hong Kong, accustomed to dealing with business tycoons.

No matter how rich the people in Jiangnan are, can they compare to the economically prosperous Hong Kong?

Moreover, Zheng Qian was not a first-generation wealthy person, but a second-generation one.

Judging by his posture, he probably wants a photo and autograph from Superstar Zhang Ziyou, right?

Manager Nie Kai had seen many people like this.

Zheng Qian must have been bragging to some female companion off-stage that he had the connections and means to get a photo and autograph from the superstar—it was just a routine to pick up girls.

Generally, Manager Nie Kai wouldn't refuse such people; after all, if you want a private autograph and photo with the superstar, you have to pay.

And most of this money went into their own pockets.

It was the first time Manager Nie Kai and the others had seen such an arrogant rich second-generation.

Who among those who played this trick before wasn't respectful to them?

He didn't even knock on the door before walking straight into the backstage lounge?

How rude!

Do you think you can act like a king just because you spent some money?

Little brother, this is the entertainment industry!

Do you think the title of superstar is just for show?

It's debatable whether Zheng Qian's father is even as rich as the superstar!

"I am. What do you want?" Manager Nie Kai asked, glancing at Zheng Qian with disdain.

"Can you take song requests here?" Zheng Qian stepped forward.

Take song requests?

Everyone looked at each other.

So arrogant?

You have money, right?

"One hundred thousand per song," Manager Nie Kai said coldly.

Their original price was fifty thousand per song, but seeing Zheng Qian being so arrogant and dismissive, they raised the price by double.

Manager Nie Kai held a large amount of artist and industry resources in his hands.

He might not have much personal wealth, but these resources were worth more than gold!

Even if you have money, you can't get them!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold a position in the agency almost equal to the superstar.

Manager Nie Kai had seen countless rich people, all of them industry tycoons.

Accustomed to being treated with respect by those rich people, Manager Nie Kai didn't take Zheng Qian seriously at all.

"One hundred thousand?" Zheng Qian hesitated for a moment; he didn't expect Song Yaxian's guess to be so accurate.

This hesitation made Manager Nie Kai pause for a moment.

"It's like this: originally, having an artist perform on site only costs fifty thousand, but since you didn't book in advance, we have to charge a service fee and an expedited fee, so it's one hundred thousand per song."

"We have clear pricing and treat everyone fairly," Manager Nie Kai replied.

Zheng Qian: ??

This is hardly fair treatment.

This is just price-gouging!

The price jumped by one hundred thousand just like that.

If Manager Nie Kai hadn't explained it, Zheng Qian wouldn't have known.

Zheng Qian could afford one hundred thousand; in fact, he hoped the price would be higher.

"You might have misunderstood me. I don't want to request that female singer; I want the superstar to sing a few more songs for my friend."

"How much? You name your price."

After hearing Zheng Qian's words, everyone was stunned on the spot.

The agency managers led by Manager Nie Kai burst into laughter.

"Sure, so how many songs do you intend for the superstar to sing for your friend?" Manager Nie Kai asked with a smile.

By now, he was treating Zheng Qian like a joke, and this sentence was just to mock him.

"Ten songs."

Ten songs?

Hahahaha.

Everyone roared with laughter.

"Brother, you haven't had too much to drink, have you?"

"Requesting the superstar to sing for your friend?"

"It seems you can't afford it."

The superstar hadn't received any high-paying requests for performances at this concert yet.

Zheng Qian, on the other hand, wanted the superstar to sing ten songs at once.

It was hilarious.

The concert only had sixteen songs in total; Zheng Qian's request was almost half a concert!

"Fine, ten million per song; for ten songs, that's one hundred million."

"Do you have that much money?"

"We don't negotiate prices."

Everyone was already looking forward to seeing the look on Zheng Qian's face when he heard the price and watching him flee in panic.

But to everyone's surprise, Zheng Qian's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't flee in panic or rush out the door as they had imagined.

Instead, he calmly faced them and said something shocking: "Fine, give me the account number."

???

One hundred million?

Requesting the superstar to sing ten songs?

Could this kid be the son of the richest man in Jiangnan!

Singing for a friend—everyone guessed it must be a girl he hadn't won over yet.

He's willing to spend so much?

"You... are you joking or are you serious?" Manager Nie Kai's hand holding the water cup began to tremble slightly; he was truly frightened by Zheng Qian's financial power.

You have to know, back in the day, Big Brother Jack only cost two or three million for a duet.

Expressions of doubt flashed across everyone's faces.

"We require payment upfront."

"My mistake, not us, the superstar requires payment upfront." Manager Nie Kai had been stunned by Zheng Qian's boldness and almost let slip the truth.

"Then just give me the card number!" Zheng Qian said, feeling a bit impatient.

Zheng Qian knew they wanted money, so what was the point of dilly-dallying and not giving the card number?

It was just one hundred million.

Couldn't he afford it?

"Enter it yourself." Zheng Qian took out his phone and handed it to Manager Nie Kai, letting him enter the card number himself.

He's for real?

The second after Manager Nie Kai took the phone, his face turned pale and then flushed.

One, ten, hundred, thousand...

Manager Nie Kai silently counted Zheng Qian's balance.

Available balance... 15 billion???

Damn!

Manager Nie Kai had spent half his life in the entertainment industry and had never seen so much money!

This is, damn it, a real big shot!

"Hurry up and enter it, can you stop wasting time?" Zheng Qian urged.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm entering it now." Manager Nie Kai trembling entered a private account number.

After facial recognition, Zheng Qian transferred the one hundred million.

[Spent 100,000,000 Yuan, System Cashback 1,000,000,000 Yuan, Received!]

Another billion had arrived!

Zheng Qian hadn't expected to make money by spending so lavishly.

Now his net worth was roughly 16 billion, all in pure cash.

Adding in Qianhe Group, Zheng Qian's net worth was already nearly 20 billion!

Unexpectedly, he had earned so much money on this trip to Jiangnan.

Even Zheng Qian himself was a bit shocked.

Manager Nie Kai was very panicked.

He received a text notification that the funds had arrived.

This one hundred million felt a bit hot to handle.

The ten million figure from just now was just a number Manager Nie Kai had made up; how could he have expected Zheng Qian to actually pay it!

Can you act like a king if you spend money?

Normally, you can't.

But he gave way too much.

One hundred million!

As a superstar-level celebrity, Superstar Zhang Ziyou hadn't even earned this much money coming to Jiangnan for this concert.

He had to be served well!

"Handsome, may I ask your name?"

"My surname is Zheng."

"What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and bring a chair for Young Master Zheng!" Manager Nie Kai scolded the other managers.

Are you blind?

Why are you acting like idiots!

Manager Nie Kai bowed slightly and poured a cup of tea for Zheng Qian.

"Young Master Zheng, please wait a moment, I'll go communicate with the superstar right away."
