Ning Weimin suddenly mentioned the matter of finding someone across the strait, and the most direct result was that the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became more serious.
In view of the delicate relationship between the two sides, his remarks not only failed to reassure Teresa Teng, but also turned her to suspicion on the other side.
To be honest, there is a gap between this situation and the result Ning Weimin wants, but if he puts himself in his shoes, he can understand it.
For no other reason than to think about it, just like Ning Weimin will have someone supervise all his actions overseas and report to the country at any time.
As an artist, even if she is in Japan, Teresa Teng must be under the "care" of Baodao's special department at all times.
Ning Weimin boldly asked the other party for help in finding someone for his report. Of course he would be shocked if he didn't know who he was looking for.
How could Teresa Teng not be cautious about such a request that might contain some secret or special purpose?
So for Teresa Teng, with her connections and influence in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, doing such a thing should be twice the result with half the effort, which is far more convenient than others.
But Teresa Teng could not agree rashly.
Especially when I heard that Ning Weimin and these Mr. Song Dynasty were strangers, neither relatives nor friends.
Strictly speaking, Ning Weimin was just looking for an old friend on behalf of his teacher, so Teresa Teng had to think a little more and was full of worries.
No way, kindness has its limits, and emotions have logic.
Because according to common sense, if it can be used to find someone, it will be offset by Ning Weimin's huge financial support to help him run the award.
This kind of effort and reward are really not proportional, and it still seems to be contrary to common sense.
Even though Kang Shude was Ning Weimin’s teacher, after all, it had no direct connection with Ning Weimin’s own interests.
No matter how kind-hearted a normal person is, they will never exchange on such terms or pay such a high cost to help others.
So Teresa Teng took the trouble to inquire in detail about Mr. Song and the fundamental motive of why Ning Weimin went to find him.
But fortunately, what Ning Weimin said was true.
After seeing Teresa Teng's hesitation, he even took the initiative to reveal his emotional privacy in public, even though he was embarrassed.
In addition to explaining in detail to Teresa Teng that her relationship with Kang Shude is unusual.
Tell Teresa Teng that they are not relatives but are better than relatives. The two have been dependent on each other for many years.
He also confessed to Teresa Teng that he had indeed fallen in love with Keiko Matsumoto and that the two had already planned to get married.
However, their marriage was rejected by Kang Shude because of Qingzi's Japanese nationality.
I neither want to live up to my love, nor do I want to fall out with Kang Shude over this matter. After thinking about it, there is only one way to solve the crux of the matter.
To put it bluntly, he asked Teresa Teng to help find someone because he wanted to satisfy Kang Shude's long-cherished wish and impress him. He hoped to impress Kang Shude with the news of his old friend's whereabouts and make him agree to his hard work. own marriage.
And Mr. Song’s wife is also Japanese.
As long as he finds that Mr. Song has always been emotionally inclined from similar situations, it will be enough for him to get the support of this great god.
Kang Shude is an old-school person who pays great attention to respecting his teachers. He can't even listen to his master's words, right?
Even if you can’t find it, there is still hard work without credit.
As long as there is a clue, Kang Shude will be more sympathetic and there will be some relief.
So in this way, Ning Weimin's plea made sense, and Teresa Teng finally put aside her suspicions and concerns.
As for Minoru Funaki and Akira Okamoto, they also suddenly realized their suspicions about Ning Weimin's ulterior motives, and looked at him with respect and trust again.
But at this time, Teresa Teng, who accidentally caught the gossip, was restless again.
Although he expressed his willingness to try his best to help, due to his weird nature, he couldn't help teasing Ning Weimin. "Wow, it turns out it's for love. It's so touching. Your love is like a love novel. In addition, Matsumoto-san is really beautiful. He is the most beautiful woman. I didn't expect to be dating you. Ah. If this news is announced, Japanese men will probably kill you..."
"Haha, this must be said to be fate. As for the 'number one beauty', let's not talk about it. It's all a joke. Speaking of which, we Chinese have a lot of beauties. Like you, Hu Yinmeng is pretty good. ..."
"Hey, I find there is something wrong with you. Why do you only like women of our age? Do you want to see a psychiatrist? You are so hypocritical. He talks about being patriotic, but he wants to marry a Japanese wife. How can I be so open-minded that I won’t date a Japanese man? Hey, wait, tell the truth, you’re not interested in me, are you?
"Diva are essentially sketch actors" is absolutely correct. If a diva knows martial arts, no one can stop her.
"I...this...I..." Ning Weimin felt at a loss for words for the first time, "Yes, I beg you to let it go. I really beg you, don't elevate my love to the national level." Is that okay? I've had enough in Beijing. I don't want this to happen, but it's fate that makes me realize. I told you this, how I feel about this matter. My feelings about the country Japan are like, your father-killing enemy happened to have a beautiful and lovely daughter..."
At this time, Teresa Teng was also amused by his appropriate description.
"Haha, you are such an interesting person. I will definitely go to the capital to see if I have the chance. If someone as interesting as you could be born, he must be in an interesting place. Okay, okay, so that you can get married as lovers, then I will Be a good person and agree to help you with this."
Ning Weimin breathed a sigh of relief, and his head was sweating because of embarrassment.
"Ashamed, ashamed, and ridiculous. But anyway, this matter not only allows me to repay my teacher's kindness, but it is also related to my personal happiness. It is really important to me, so thank you very much for your willingness. I'll leave it to you..."
"Don't thank me in a hurry, we have an agreement. The information you provided is too little, and the time between 1949 and now is too long. Mr. Song, I can't say whether I can find him or not. I can't guarantee when he will be found. I can only promise to do my best. If this matter doesn't go well, don't blame me... ”
“Of course, your words of ‘do your best’ are enough. ”
"Hey, now you say that, but I'm really worried that if you get nothing, you will hate me in the end. How about this? Let's make a gentleman's agreement. If I can't help you, the cost of operating the award will be No matter how much you spend, I will pay you back when the time comes..."
"You are really refreshing and fair. But it's not necessary. Don't worry, if it doesn't work out, I won't ask you for money. In that case, just treat it as a gift from a fan..."
" Gifts? This is too exaggerated. Many of my fans give me real money and give me anything. There are also many who directly seal the money in red envelopes or throw gold and silver on the stage. , there are even fans who make huge plaques with thousands of flowers every day and ask me to accept them. But I have never received such a gift from you. President Ning, you have to spend at least hundreds of millions of yen on this matter, right? Don't be such a rich man? If the mainland knows that you spend money like water, I am very touched, but because I regard you as a friend, I feel worried for you..."
"Haha , I am honored that you can consider me a friend. However, there is no need for you to worry. Yes, when it comes to the Record Awards, it is not so much a matter of knowledge, but more about who gets the money. Much. But in this kind of thing, the method of giving money requires a little skill - superb acting skills to make the money look like it is not money..."
"Oh? Acting skills?" Teresa Teng said teasingly. “Do we still need to pretend to give money and gifts?”
"Of course, it cannot be true. As long as the gift is given safely, the other party will accept it. Only by giving gifts in a special way can we not worry about the other party just taking money and not doing anything. This is another very important element of gift giving. "Forget it, let me tell you some more information."
"What do you mean?" Not only Teresa Teng was interested, but Minoru Funaki and Akira Okamoto also had bright eyes. , equally curious.
“Ah, I won’t go into too specific details of the negotiations. I’ll just give you a rough outline. In addition to talking about the Record Awards, my contact with Mr. Kaga of TBS also included We have discussed the broadcast of the mainland-produced TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" in Japan, as well as the future cooperation between TBS and Matsumoto Office in the filming of Japanese dramas. In addition, I will personally invest in Mrs. Kaga and help her open a high-end beauty salon. As for Mihara, the executive director of the Composers Association, I approached and negotiated as a lover of art. As long as he was willing to help us with the Record Awards, I would pay 20% higher than the market price afterwards. I bought most of his collection at a reasonable price.”
“The advantage of this is that not only can my contacts with these people not be criticized or questioned, but even if I spend a lot of money to smoothen the relationship. It’s not a loss in terms of running awards. For the TV station, I can accomplish many things at once, and some things I originally wanted to ask for have become a stepping stone and a touchstone. The future trend is also optimistic in the long term. Although the price of the artwork I bought from Mr. Mihara is a bit higher, in the long run, it may still be a profitable business. "
"And the most important thing is, I give them this kind of packaged business, just like holding a pair of chopsticks in my hand. The huge benefits generated by many things that can be cooperated will make this cooperative alliance unbreakable. The benefit is that it is unlikely to regret it halfway. It also leaves other people who are willing to pay high prices to canvass for votes. After all, the benefits of one thing are limited and cannot be compared with the benefits of multiple things. In fact, this is the case in big deals. There are very few isolated matters when it comes to interests, are you right?”
Hearing this, not only Funaki Minoru and Okamoto Akira's eyes shone, they felt like they were enlightened and were filled with admiration.
Even Teresa Teng found it thought-provoking and gained her knowledge.
He actually narrowed his eyes and deliberately looked on guard.
She also said it in Chinese.
"President Ning, you are so treacherous and treacherous. It's amazing. When I see you, it's like seeing Cao Cao in contemporary times..."
"I am Cao Cao? Then who is Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?" Ning Weimin was dumbfounded and responded in Chinese.
"Miss Teresa, my words may be a little offensive. But you have to control your mouth and don't keep talking such serious nonsense. Maybe you got married long ago..."
Then...then Teresa Teng burst out laughing, leaving only two Japanese people who didn't understand Chinese confused. (End of this chapter)
