“I didn’t expect that she would do this.” Mary said to Xiang Nan.


    "Don''t be angry, I didn''t agree." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "My will is pretty strong."


    ?Mary smiled and said, "If I weren''t here, would you agree?"


    "Of course not. In this life, I only like you." Xiang Nan smiled, "There is no doubt about this."


    "Really?" Mary looked into Xiang Nan''s eyes and asked doubtfully.


    "Of course it''s true." Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, let''s not talk about it. Now let''s talk about it. After making so much money, how do you want to spend it?"


    “Yes, I made a lot of money.” Mary said in surprise.


    I really didn’t expect that I could make so much in one night, 20 million US dollars, I really made a fortune.


    "Think about how to spend it." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "How about going to a luxury store to spend some money? Buy some leather bags, leather shoes, clothes, and jewelry?"


    "I don''t want it anymore, I think I''m in good shape." Mary waved her hands after hearing this.


    ?She is not someone who pays much attention to food and clothing, and she doesn’t think there is anything good about bags, shoes, and jewelry. If she had to choose between a string of diamond necklaces and a string of shells, she would rather choose the string of shells.


    "You don''t have to save money for me. This much money can be spent for a long time." Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    “It’s better to save it first.” Mary still waved her hand and said, “There will be many places to spend money in the future.”


    Xiang Nan nodded, then exchanged the chips and returned to the room with Mary.


    …


    Turning around, Xiang Nan and Mary found the rest of the team.


    As expected, they all lost their chips yesterday.


    ?Perhaps someone starts making money, but as expected, they quickly lose it again.


    ?There are even a few who, unwilling to accept the loss, raised their own bets to play, and ended up losing nearly 10,000 US dollars.


    "It seems that you are really unlucky." Xiang Nan said, "In that case, don''t play anymore in the remaining two days. I don''t want you to throw all the money you earned here."


    When everyone heard this, they all nodded.


    “How are you, Dan, did you win or lose yesterday?” Agent Roy asked curiously.


    “I’m pretty lucky, I won some.” Xiang Nan nodded.


    “How much did you win?” Everyone asked curiously after hearing this.


    "It''s about ten thousand yuan. I only won two, and I''ll forget it if I''m satisfied." Xiang Nan explained.


    He is not telling the truth, because wealth cannot reveal its wealth. Except for Roy, everyone in the team is new. Especially those four bodyguards who had been with him for less than a week.


    Except for Mary, he could not trust any of these people, so naturally he would not tell them the truth.


    ?Otherwise, even if he is not afraid of kidnapping and extortion by those people, he is still afraid of causing more troubles and causing more trouble for himself.


    “You are really lucky!~” When everyone heard this, they all said with envy.


    ?Especially those who have won money before, they are even more envious and regretful. It would have been nice if they had known how to take it easy at that time.


    …


    Subsequently, Xiang Nan continued his promotional schedule.


    ??Having just finished an interview with a local TV station in Las Vegas in the afternoon, Xiang Nan was about to take the car back when he saw his agent Roy looking at him in surprise. "What''s wrong? I made a mistake in my performance just now?" Xiang Nan asked confusedly when he saw this.


    "Of course not, the performance was very good, but I have some amazing news to tell you." Roy said quickly.


    “What?” Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.


    "Mariah Carey invites you to sing, this is a good thing, can you imagine..." Roy couldn''t help but smile happily.


    Mariah Carey is one of the three major American singers and a true singing superstar. Although Xiang Nan has several hit singles, he is still not as good as Maria.


    ??As a singer, he is at best a little king, or a candidate. There are countless famous singers before him.


    ?Therefore, if Xiang Nan can write a song for Mariah Carey and spread it, it will be quite helpful to increase his popularity.


    “I won’t give you the invitation to sing, the minimum limit is to work together, otherwise I won’t consider it.” Xiang Nan said immediately.


    He has a bunch of good songs in his hands, but he doesn’t want to sell any of them. The reason is simple, because selling songs does not make money.


    In China, many songwriters earn very little.


    The theme song, opening theme song, and interlude of the TV series "Journey to the West" are widely known, and the singers who became famous for singing it made a lot of money. But songwriter Xu Jingqing didn''t get a penny.


    While the protection of copyright in the United States is good enough, songwriters are still the target of being squeezed and bullied. For a song under five minutes long, only 0.9 cents are paid to the songwriter for each copy produced.


    In other words, if 100,000 singles are sold, the songwriter will receive $900. In comparison, if a single sells 100,000 copies, the singer can earn about 400,000 US dollars, a huge difference of 500 times.


    A certain singer earned US$69 million during a world tour, with each performance earning more than US$1 million. In comparison, the authors of the songs she sang only received an average of more than one hundred dollars per performance, which was a difference of 10,000 times.


    It can be seen that the distribution of interests between singers and songwriters is really very different.


    ?That''s why Xiang Nan won''t sell the song.


    ??He would rather use it to support singing stars. At least he can make more money by then.


    …


    “You’ve really thought about it, that’s Mariah Carey.” Roy said in surprise, not expecting Xiang Nan to give up such a good opportunity.


    "I''m still Dan Crawford." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "That''s what I said."


    “Dan, if you think about it again, this opportunity is really rare.” Seeing what Xiang Nan said, Roy quickly advised him.


    Collaborating with Mariah Carey can open up the US market faster. When the time comes, you will become a well-known superstar, and you won’t be able to earn back much money.


    "That''s it, don''t say any more." Xiang Nan waved his hand.


    Mariah Carey should either work with him or not work with him, because he has no shortage of opportunities to become famous.


    He debuted at the beginning of the year, and it has only been more than half a year now, and he is already a popular singer. In another year and a half, he believes he can successfully reach the top.


    Hence, he did not have a strong motivation to collaborate with Mariah Carey. In line with that sentence, the rabbit on New Year’s Eve will celebrate the New Year just as well without it.


    It is precisely for this reason that Xiang Nan does not indulge her because he is strong without desire.


    ??Roy saw that Xiang Nan just disagreed, so he had no choice but to say nothing more.


    After all, he is just an agent, not Xiang Nan’s boss, and he has no right to interfere with Xiang Nan’s decision.


    In European and American countries, managers and artists have a cooperative relationship. If an artist is dissatisfied with his agent, he can be fired at any time, or he can even change his agency at any time.


    So in foreign countries, managers often have to coax artists. Unlike brokerage companies in Mainland China, Japan and South Korea, which simply use artists as slaves.
