CHAPTER 514 THIS CULTURE IS BAD

Qin Mu just had to make a phone call and use Gao Cheng's name to make the boss of Star Entertainment so scared that he would personally send the tickets to him.

Qin Mu gloated in his heart.

This wine was getting more and more delicious, and the women next to him looked tastier than before too.

He knew that they would soon learn to work hard to serve him well.

"Connections are the most important thing to have these days. In Shenghai now, it's more useful to know someone from the Gao family than to know someone in the legal circle."

Qin Mu was glad that he had this connection.

Back before the Gao family had control over Shenghai, he was just drinking buddies with Gao Cheng.

But now that the Gao family had suddenly become the leader of Shenghai's illegal circle, Gao Cheng's standing had gone up by a lot!

He was now practically royalty!

Qin Mu had seen for himself how some governor had bowed deeply towards Gao Cheng!

"My family can also use this chance to increase our standing! HAHA!" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Meanwhile.

At Star Entertainment.

Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen had arrived.

Wang Wei didn't dare to arrange for anything special. He knew that Jiang Ning kept a low profile and didn't like all these bells and whistles.

The few of them sat in the office together and Wang Wei got tea for everyone. Lin Yuzhen, Ye Qingwu and Su Yun seemed to have endless things to talk about.

Jiang Ning just sat there quietly and listened to Wang Wei update him on how the company was doing.

But he wasn't interested in managing the company. Jiang Ning didn't care for a tiny little artiste management agency. It wasn't even worth much.

Tve already done my best to prepare for this concert and there won't be any problems. I've also talked to the PR department at Lin Group to use this chance and get exposure for Lin Group's new product.”

Wang Wei knew that Jiang Ning had bought this company over and made him the boss not only because he wanted to let Ye Qingwu sing in peace.

Any promotion that would be of help to Lin Group had to be done well.

"Alright then, you go ahead and get all these things done. You don't have to report to me, I don't understand any of these things anyway," Jiang Ning said with a laugh.

Wang Wei offered Jiang Ning a cup of tea. He knew that Jiang Ning trusted him, and he was grateful for that.

"Brother Ning, don't worry, I'll get everything done."

Wang Wei was very familiar with such things. He knew his way around this industry well, so there was no problem in leaving it to him.

"If you run into any troublesome matters that are difficult to solve, just let me know," added Jiang Ning.

Since this was something that required expertise, then he was going to leave it to the expert.

But what he could do was to help to resolve some tricky issues, or some tricky people.

"They're not really troublesome matters," Wang Wei laughed bitterly. "But there are many unwritten rules in this industry. It's not really troublesome anymore now that everyone is used to it. That's just part of the culture in this industry."

He paused for a while, then continued," For example, since we're having this concert, then we have to rent the stadium. But renting the venue isn't just a matter of money."

"Oh?" Jiang Ning really didn't know much about these things.

"We have to give them tickets too," Wang Wei nodded. "We have to give the management of the venue some tickets, give some officials tickets."

"Then there's also the security company, the fire department, the medical team..."

He shook his head. These were unwritten rules, but they were practically official now.

Even though it was true that the people who worked hard to make the concert successful should be rewarded and it was fine to give them tickets, in reality, the ones who received the tickets were always the ones in management. Those who did the actual work never got anything.

"How many do you have to give away?”

"At least 30%," replied Wang Wei. "At least 30% of our tickets have to be given away to the management level of these companies that make the concert happen."

"So much?"

Jiang Ning frowned.

That was as good as taking money from his own pocket.

He was the God of War in the East - why should he have to spend money on this area?

"That's how it is with the legal circle.”

Of course Wang Wei knew that this was as good as taking money out from Jiang Ning's pocket, but he didn't seem to have a choice.

Jiang Ning was powerful and extremely wealthy, but he was still from the illegal circle after all. It wasn't easy for someone from the illegal circle to tackle those from the legal circle.

"This culture is terrible," Jiang Ning shook his head.

He didn't say anymore. He took his phone out and made a call.

Wang Wei didn't interrupt him.

"Fei," said Jiang Ning. "There's a bad culture in Shanghai's legal circle. I'm holding a concert and I still have to butter up to them?”

"Yup, make them change their ways.”
