Xia Tian looked at him in confusion and saw the foreigner's yellow hair, green eyes, and glasses. It was difficult to judge his age. He could say that he was in his thirties or in his fifties. Because foreigners generally age faster, after they passed the age of twenty, they looked the same as they were in their forties or fifties.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious." The foreigner said in English.

Since summer’s English has been returned to the teacher since graduating from school, so it is only half-toned. Reading English articles and connecting the context, you can still guess some meanings, but the dialogue is blind.

"Ixk has purple rice? (EXSCUSE_ME)" Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he said in English.

"Brother, he told you not to get it wrong. He was just curious." Xia Xue helped translate.

She attended an English school in middle school, and her teaching is mainly English, so her English level is much better than summer.

"That's it." Xia Tian nodded, "Grandma!"

"Really, can you be sure?" the foreigner said in surprise again.

Xia Tian was not very happy when he heard this. What's wrong with foreigners? Do you look like a liar?

"Of course." He nodded.

"Great! I'm a scout at Columbia Records. I'm very interested in your song. Are you willing to give it to me for use?" The foreigner smiled immediately.

Xia Tian blinked, then shook her head, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested."

The song "Kiss Goodbye" is a classic work by the singer Zhang Xueyou. It sold millions of copies back then, and it is also the most classic love song among Mandarin songs. Of course, such a good song is left to be sung by our own people, and it is a matter of a deal to leave it to foreigners. Besides, he doesn't lack that much money, so he can't sell this song.

"Please think about it again. This involves a big business of tens of millions of dollars." Seeing that Xia Tian refused, the foreigner quickly persuaded him again.

Xia Tian glanced at him speechlessly, thinking that foreigners really can't brag about taxes. A song has become a big business of tens of millions of dollars?! If it was so profitable, would Michael Jackson go bankrupt? With so many popular songs, wouldn't he become the richest man in the United States long ago?!

"What I said is true. Leave this song to me and I will help you operate it. Find big-name stars to sing, release records, play on the radio, make TV series theme songs, and make movie soundtracks... Your song will make a lot of money for you, believe me!" The foreigner tried his best to persuade Xia Tian when he saw that Xia Tian didn't believe it.

Xia Tian smiled.

The foreigner said it was indeed very lively. Seeing that he was so serious, Xia Tian decided to listen to his plan first.

"I'm a little interested, you keep saying it." He said with a smile.

"Okay! You authorize this song to me, and I will sell your songs to big-name singers. Your song is so nice, it will definitely be welcomed by big-name singers. Believe me! Once this song is sung by big-name singers, your song will become a hit." The foreigner said with a roar, "When the time comes, you will play on the radio, on the TV, and in the movies, everyone will listen to your songs, and will pay for you. With just one song, you may become a millionaire! Believe me, my friend, James has never lie!"

"Then what benefits will you get?" Xia Tian asked with a smile. He didn't believe that Americans are living Lei Fengs.

"Of course I have obtained the copyright of your song, and half of your income. Friends, don't look at me like that. This is the rules, it's not made by me." James said with a smile again.

Xia Tian blinked. Judging from what James meant, once he agreed to authorize him, the song would no longer belong to him. It would be handled by James or the Columbia Records behind him, and then he could share half of the copyright of the song.

It sounds good. After all, I don’t have that much energy to sell a song and it’s better to let it be managed by a professional at the record company.

However, there is no need to give him the song "Kiss Goodbye". One is a Mandarin song. How much sales can it be in the United States? Which big-name singer is willing to sing Mandarin songs? Two is a classic work by Zhang Xueyou. If he is handed over to Colombia, even if he loses control, Zhang Xueyou may not be able to sing this song in the future. Although he is still a god of singing without this song, he always feels that he will lack glory?!

"You're right, I'm interested in working with you." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Thank you, it's great! I can tell you, my friend, you made a pretty wise choice." James smiled happily.

Xia Tian smiled slightly when he saw him happy, "But I still can't give you this song."

"..." James' smile froze on his face, "Hey, friend, please don't fool me, okay?"

"Of course I'm not playing tricks on you. This song has special meaning to me, and I don't want to give it to you. But I have many other songs, and I can talk to you about those." Xia Tian smiled.

"So that's the case, OK!" James said happily when he heard this.

"Okay, then you can leave me a contact information. I will contact you in a few days." Xia Tian said again.

Although James was very active and spoke confidently, Xia Tian didn't know him very well after all, and he didn't know much about the American music scene, so he was going to watch for a few days before talking about it.

At least you have to confirm James' identity first, then hire a lawyer for yourself, and then sign a contract with him after you are ready. Otherwise, you have to count the money for someone to sell him.

"..." James glanced at Xia Tian speechlessly, "Okay, this is my phone number, remember to call me. Your friend, James, will serve you wholeheartedly."

"Okay, thank you." Xia Tian smiled.

Seeing that his elder brother was so lucky, he could meet Columbia Records scouts on the plane, and he was almost signed by someone, so he couldn't help but be proud of him.

"Brother, you are so awesome. No matter where you go, you are like fireflies at night, so vivid and outstanding!" Xia Xue giggled.

"Do you think I am a domestic Lingling paint?" Xia Tian smiled.

"Ah? Who is that?" Xia Xue blinked.

"Oh, that's an ordinary pork guy, but he's hidden. He holds a kitchen knife made of Tianshan cold iron, weighing 49 pounds. He went to Longtan alone, not only defeating the golden spearmen who smuggled national treasures, but also holding the beauty and winning the title of national hero!" Xia Tian said seriously.

Xia Xue listened very seriously at first, but at the end she realized that it was the eldest brother who was making trouble. She couldn't help but pound him with a angrily.

...

Along the way, James actively won over the summer again and promised him many bright and great benefits.

But Xia Tian was unmoved at all. Without understanding, he would not sign a contract with James rashly.

After sixteen hours of flight, the plane finally landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

After getting off the plane, Xia Tian bid farewell to James Yiyi, and then took Xia Xue to check in to the Hilton Hotel.

The hotel was booked before coming.

"First go back to the hotel to rest. The jet lag is over. Let's go to Disneyland tomorrow, we will go to Hollywood the day after tomorrow, and then go to Silicon Valley the day after tomorrow. Then visit several universities around and have an impression first. In this way, when you look back and study abroad, you won't be silly and don't know which one to choose." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xia Xue nodded.

"Okay, then that's it." Xia Tian smiled.

After checking in at the hotel, Xia Tian called Hong Kong first, one reported safety, two asked about the company's affairs, and three asked about information about the American music scene.

"Brother Tian, ​​the company is operating normally now. Miss Zhang Aijia and Mr. Luo Dayou from Taiwan called and said that the bidding for the song "Tomorrow Will Better" has been completed, and they will come to Hong Kong to develop in a week." Chen Yixinhui reported.

"Very good, those two are VIP guests in the company. You must treat them well and don't be rude." Xia Tian reminded.

"Of course, Brother Tian." Chen Yixin said, "Pet Fong called and said that he would help you trade twelve times today and he had already earned 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. He asked me to ask if you want to invest additionally. Now is a good time to trade futures."

"I made 500,000 in one day? I have some skills!" Xia Tian was stunned and said in surprise.

I didn’t expect that futures trading is so profitable. No wonder so many people flock to it. However, futures trading is also quite dangerous. Xia Tian remembers watching "The Great Times" before. Ding’s Wukang suffered a loss because of futures trading. In a day, he went from billions of dollars to billions of dollars in debt. In the end, the father and son were desperate and had to jump off the building.

"Forget it, I won't add more funds, let him use that 10 million first." Xia Tian thought for a while.

At least he knows some inside information about foreign exchange trading. But speculating on futures index trading is completely a slight dizzy. The risk is too great, so there is no need to take this risk.

"Yes, Brother Tian." Chen Yixin nodded.

"Is there anything else?" Xia Tian asked again.

"Not yet, Brother Tian, ​​if you have something to do, I will tell you again." Chen Yixin said.

"Okay, by the way, I'll find lawyer Feng Xile and ask her to help me collect the contract for American song copyright and tell her I want to use it." Xia Tian reminded again.

Feng Xile is the legal counsel hired by their Tianxia Pictures Company. He graduated from Yale Law School in the United States and knows very well about American law.

"Brother Tian, ​​what do you want to do?" Chen Yixin asked curiously when he heard this.

Xia Tian talked about what happened on the plane.

"Wow! Brother Tian, ​​you are so awesome. Sing a song casually and you will attract the attention of the scout. It's so awesome!" Chen Yixin said in admiration after hearing this.

How many Hong Kong singers can't even develop in Europe and the United States? He actually succeeded with just one song. If you say it, how many people are killed?

"Okay, help me get it done as soon as possible." Xia Tian smiled.
