Lu Dongjie saw Chen Meiling off and sat quietly in the office, scratching his head and smiling bitterly at a report.

What he has in his hand is a salary tax return form sent to him by the tax bureau, which requires him to fill in his income (income) for the year and then send it back to them.

Naturally, such a private thing cannot be borrowed from others, and must be filled in by oneself.

According to current standards, citizens with a monthly income of more than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars are required to pay salaries tax. Single people like Lu Dongjie have no children to support, so the personal part is not exempt.

The Inland Revenue Department has issued a total of 350,000 tax returns to taxpayers this year. Compared with the 4.47 million Hong Kong residents, only about 7% of them need to pay taxes. This gives us a rough idea of ​​the overall income level.

"Tuk tuk..." At this time, someone knocked on the door again.

"Come in." Lu Dongjie put the things back in the drawer and whispered back.

"General manager, this Miss Pan said she wants to thank you in person." Zhong Chuhong opened the door and came in.

"Hey, is it you?" Lu Dongjie raised his head and said with a surprised smile.

"Sorry, Mr. Lu, for bothering you again." Pan Yueyun smiled politely at Lu Dongjie.

Afterwards, she finally found out the true identity of Lu Dongjie, who had helped her the night before, so she felt it was necessary to pay him a visit.

Lu Dongjie is a well-known figure in Hong Kong, but not many people know him in Taiwan. It is probably people in the industry who pay more attention to him, and ordinary people basically don't know him.

Lu Dongjie has only released one Cantonese album so far, which is an album of New Year songs and an English single. Although it has been sold well all over the world, especially for people in non-English mainstream areas, it is not very famous.

"Miss Pan, please sit down. What would you like to drink?" Lu Dongjie stood up and greeted her politely.

"Mr. Lu, you're welcome. I'm just here to thank you today." Pan Yueyun quickly waved his hand.

"You're welcome, it's just a simple effort." Lu Dongjie smiled.

"I will go back to Taipei tomorrow, and I want to thank you in person before leaving." Pan Yueyun said hesitantly.

"What's wrong? Things are not going well?" Lu Dongjie looked at her and saw that she was hesitant to speak.

"A friend of mine introduced me to sing in a nightclub. Their manager asked me to audition for a few days on stage, but the response from the audience was mediocre, so they didn't hire me." Pan Yueyun said in a rather frustrated tone.

"Oh, Miss Pan, it turns out you are also engaged in the singing industry?" Lu Dongjie said with a slightly surprised smile.

"No, I'm not a professional singer. I just sometimes work part-time as a singer in a restaurant. I heard from my friends that the opportunities here are better, so I wanted to come to Hong Kong to try my luck." Pan Yueyun said frankly.

"Ms. Pan, although there are many nightclubs and opportunities in Hong Kong, it is not easy for everyone to stand up." Lu Dongjie comforted with a smile.

In the early 1970s, Mandarin period songs in Hong Kong were still very popular. Taiwanese singers such as Yao Surong, Qingshan, and You Ya were invited by major nightclubs in Hong Kong to perform on stage.

They may not be so popular in Taiwan, but they are very popular in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's economy and culture are relatively strong in Southeast Asia, and the political atmosphere on the island is relatively strong. In contrast, Hong Kong society, a free and open island, gives them a lot of room for activities.

With the increasing number of people-to-people exchanges between the two places, many people are very envious when they see so many Taiwanese singers and movie stars coming to Hong Kong to make money. This has also caused many Taiwanese girls to have dreams and look for opportunities to come here to develop.

But in Hong Kong, there are many types of nightclubs, such as Chinese-style restaurants, nightclubs, and karaoke bars, which are relatively clean, and the others are hard to describe.

An unknown little singer sings in such a nightclub. Whether the singing is good or not is secondary. The most important thing is to be able to drink and chat with the guests, and to temporarily act as a dancer.

Of course, if you find a big boss who is willing to flatter you, there will naturally be no shortage of opportunities. As for the price you need to pay, it is self-evident.

Pan Yueyun came to visit today and insisted on thanking him in person, which may not be due to some small thoughts.

After all, Lu Dongjie is not only a musician, he is also the owner of a record company.

If he takes a fancy to her and is willing to sign her, it will be a huge opportunity for her.

Universal Music Records, as everyone in the industry knows, although it is only a new company established less than half a year ago, it is the most powerful record company in Hong Kong. As long as it signs you and sends you records, it will definitely become a big hit.

.

Just look at two singers under Universal Music Records, one is Kuang Meiyun and the other is Zhang Yuanyuan. Both girls released albums for the first time, and both of them have sold more than 50,000 local records.

As for Kuang Meiyun's album, its sales volume in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other Chinatown areas were very good, making other record companies the envy of them.

Many singers have taken the initiative to contact Xu Ruoqi and expressed their willingness to join and sign with Universal Music Records, but Lu Dongjie never nodded in agreement.

Lu Dongjie has made predictions before, including the saturation of Hong Kong's record market and the level of consumption power of fans. The output of records produced by Universal Music Records must be an orderly and reasonable quantity.

According to the current sales cycle of an album, it takes about half a year, so Lu Dongjie will probably consider releasing the album locally around the end of the year.

Too fast and too intensive production will not help the market digest the quantity. It will only cause an imbalance in the industrial structure. In the end, you will only hurt yourself.

"Ms. Pan, do you have any works with you that you can let me appreciate? Maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Lu Dongjie suddenly asked when sending Pan Yueyun away.

"Yes, I usually record them myself." Pan Yueyun hurriedly took out a box of tapes from his bag and handed them to Lu Dongjie with both hands.

"Miss Pan, opportunities are reserved for those who are willing." Seeing her nervousness, Lu Dongjie smiled and encouraged her.

After hearing Lu Dongjie's comforting words, Pan Yueyun left Universal Music Records with excitement and anxiety.

"Hmph, you obviously came prepared, but you still pretend to be careless." Zhong Chuhong snorted after Pan Yueyun left.

"You have to take the initiative to fight for opportunities. Do you have to wait for the sky to fall?" Lu Dongjie couldn't help laughing.

"What's going on between you and that Chen Meiling? Are you hiding it from me again and are you hooking up?" Zhong Chuhong interrogated him condescendingly.

"When did my Hongdou girl become so jealous?" Lu Dongjie reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Hmph, who let you go around messing around with women?" Zhong Chuhong lay quietly on his chest, but her little hands were not polite at all.

"Everything was fine last night, why did you run away?" Lu Dongjie said helplessly as he rubbed her hair.

"Humph, you bad guy, I almost let you succeed." Zhong Chuhong's face turned red with shame, and she increased the punishment with her little hands.

"Then you just light the fire and don't put it out." Lu Dongjie yelled.
