With just a few casual words, I've swept the music scene.
Chapter 35 My brother is indeed a shrewd person.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ke thought of something and said, "Speaking of the word 'virtue,' I'm reminded of a saying."
"Oh?" All eyes immediately turned to him.
"And who is this?" Ding Linshan then remembered to ask.
When Wang Ke came in, Tan Donglai didn't introduce him. He assumed Wang Ke was just an ordinary employee of the East Asia Group, so he didn't ask.
But now that the other party has spoken, he feels obligated to ask as a matter of politeness.
"This is the songwriter who wrote the song for me!" Tan Jingjing said.
Logically speaking, Wang Ke was a guest from outside the city, and his status should be the same as Ding Linshan's. After entering the house, Tan Donglai should have introduced him to Ding Linshan.
But in Tan Donglai's mind, Ding Linshan was a great calligrapher and a distinguished guest who had to be respected, while Wang Ke was just a small business owner of an entertainment company who he had hired to write songs for his daughter. His status and position were incomparable to Ding Linshan's.
That's why he didn't make a special introduction for either party.
When Ding Linshan asked, he took the opportunity to introduce her, but his daughter was too inconsiderate and insisted on introducing her, which made him very embarrassed.
Tan Donglai could only cough once to cover his embarrassment, and then said, "This is Mr. Wang Ke, the president of Fanfu Culture. However, whether in the industry or online, everyone likes to call him President Fan."
"Hello." Ding Linshan smiled and nodded.
He was unfamiliar with the entertainment industry and naturally knew nothing about the "earth-shattering" battle against Yuting Culture.
Tan Jingjing then asked, "President Fan, what have you thought of to say?"
After a moment's thought, Wang Ke said, "The earth is receptive; a virtuous person should cultivate virtue and bear all things with generosity!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Linshan's eyes widened immediately!
"Can you explain?" he asked, somewhat agitated.
“The earth’s nature is one of solidity and harmony; a virtuous person should emulate this, cultivating their own virtues and embracing all things,” Wang Ke explained.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Ding Linshan clapped his hands excitedly. "What a wonderful 'great virtue carries all things'! Absolutely brilliant!"
Despite the abundance of books in his room, Tan Donglai's actual level of education isn't particularly high. He compensates for his lack of formal education precisely because of this; he displays so many books to maintain appearances.
Setting a corporate culture slogan is more about putting on a show, which is why they went to great lengths to get Ding Linshan involved.
Seeing Ding Linshan's agitation, he couldn't help but take it seriously and asked Wang Ke, "Where did you hear that?"
"Oh..." Wang Ke said shamelessly, "They are two aphorisms I wrote to motivate myself."
Original?
That's absolutely amazing!
Ding Linshan admired him inwardly, and his gaze toward Wang Ke became humble and respectful. He asked, "Could you tell me the other sentence?"
"As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement; as earth's nature is receptive, a gentleman should cultivate virtue and bear all things with magnanimity!" Wang Ke said.
His hoarse voice sounded so powerful and moving at that moment!
Ding Linshan's heart was instantly pierced by these two sentences!
"As heaven's movement is ever vigorous, so should a gentleman constantly strive for self-improvement; as earth's condition is receptive, so should a gentleman cultivate virtue and bear all things with magnanimity..." He recited it with rapt attention, then clapped his hands excitedly and exclaimed, "Well said! Well said! It can truly be called a timeless classic!"
Overcome with emotion, he picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote down the two sentences on the paper. The characters on the paper were like dragons and phoenixes dancing, powerful and magnificent, truly perfect.
After finishing the calligraphy in one go, he stepped back a few paces to look at it, and couldn't help but shake his head in admiration: "Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"
Tan Donglai couldn't help but praise, "Chairman Ding's calligraphy is absolutely superb!"
Ding Linshan put down his pen, went over and grasped Wang Ke's hands with both of his, and said excitedly, "This calligraphy far surpasses all my works in my entire life. It was Mr. Fan's wonderful words that inspired me and stimulated my potential! Mr. Fan, thank you! Thank you so much!"
Wang Ke smiled and shook his head: "It is Chairman Ding's skill that is profound, I dare not take credit for it."
Ding Linshan shook his head: "No matter how good the calligraphy is, without words to carry it, it's just a few words. It's thanks to your two sentences that my calligraphy can be passed down through the ages!"
Tan Donglai was momentarily surprised.
Will it be passed down through the ages?
That's such a high evaluation!
I never expected that Wang Ke, who works in the entertainment industry, would have such a high level of cultural knowledge. He's really amazing!
His attitude towards Wang Ke immediately changed, and he came over with a smile to express his gratitude: "President Fan, it is a great honor for Donglai Group to have your insightful words! Thank you, I am extremely grateful!"
Seeing how much the two elderly people admired Wang Ke, Tan Jingjing was also very excited.
The eyes that looked at Wang Ke now held many more stars.
Tan Donglai and Ding Linshan vied to praise him, while Wang Ke remained modest. After rambling on for a while, Tan Donglai said happily, "To receive a poem from the General Manager and a masterpiece from Chairman Ding is truly a great joy! In that case, I'll treat you to lunch, and we'll drink until we drop!"
When Tan Donglai invites you to dinner, of course no one will refuse.
At noon, the group of four arrived at a famous private chef restaurant in Linhai City. After taking their seats, Tan Donglai first thanked Ding Linshan, and then together with Ding Linshan, they thanked Wang Ke.
After a lively gathering and several drinks, everyone gradually became familiar with each other and relaxed.
By the end, they had all become friends.
"Brother, how should I thank you?" Tan Donglai asked with a smile.
"I do have something I'd like to ask you for a favor, brother," Wang Ke said with a smile.
“Speak!” Tan Donglai waved his hand generously.
"Flip Culture has just been established, starting from scratch, and we lack everything," Wang Ke said. "If you're willing to get involved in the entertainment industry, I'd like to attract some investment."
Tan Jingjing's eyes lit up immediately: "Dad, this is great news! With President Fan being so amazing, Fanfu Culture will surely last forever and dominate the world!"
Wang Ke thought to himself, "Why do these words sound so harsh to me?"
Do you think I'm some kind of weirdo?
Ding Linshan couldn't help but say, "Entertainment, entertainment, should be 'cultural entertainment,' but the current entertainment industry has abandoned culture and only entertainment remains. The reason for this is that there are too few people like you, Brother Tan! Brother Tan, if you can help me out, it will benefit the present and future generations!"
Tan Donglai slammed his hand on the table: "Then it's settled! I'll invest one billion first, what do you think?"
Wang Ke was naturally delighted!
Signing singers or producing shows both cost money!
Although "The Voice of China" has become popular, it's not time to make money yet. Relying solely on Luo Jun's previous investments, Fanfu Culture is finding it difficult to turn around its finances.
The fact that we've received a billion-dollar investment right now has solved our immediate problem.
"Thank you so much, brother! I'll drink this first!" Wang Ke raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.
He then said, "But even brothers should keep clear accounts. I can't let my brother invest this money for nothing. How about this, I'll give my brother 20% of the shares that will remain unchanged? What do you think, brother?"
Tan Donglai nodded and smiled, thinking to himself that this younger brother was indeed a shrewd person!
When doing business together, the biggest problem is not putting the accounts out in the open. If he makes things clear from the beginning, there will be no disputes when it comes to dividing the profits later.
This is the way to ensure long-term cooperation!
