NovelEndChapter 233 Chapter 233 After the whole autograph debacle, Stanley still wasnt done.
He launched into a new round of complaints this time, about his pitiful paycheck.
We made you guys a few hundred million dollars, and youre givingthree million? How the hell does that add up! Nicolas let out a soft sigh, sounding like a disappointed dad.
Stanley ....
youre still too young.
You dont understand how expensive running a business really is.
Oh really? Stanley snerred.
How expensive could it possibly he? Unfared.
Nicolas began calmly listing expenses like he was teaching a finance seminar.
You only see the hundreds of millions in revenue.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut have you considered the massive costs? How many employers are on payroll! Your latest album made 150 million, sure but I paid Noelle 30 million in royalties alone.
Thats just licensing fees. What about marketing? Promotion! Online and offline campaigns? Logistics? Distribution? You think all that comes for free! Then theres the whole post production team, which isnt small, by the way.
When you divide it all up,, the actual profit isnt nearly as big as i looks.
Honestly.
I pulled sstrings just to get you a slightly higher cut.
Your other two handmates didnt even get as much as you His tone was calm, persuasive even logical Stanley suddenly found himself running out of ammunition.
But something still felt off.
He grumbled, Then why did you pay Noelle that much? Thirty million !! Thats like three million per song! Its not like shes slegendary composer or something.
And con, you two are a couple.
Isnt that just transferring money from one pocket to the other Why even bother paying her? At that. Nicolass smile vanished.
He straightened up, voice crisp and serious.
Stanley.
Thats not how things work.
Even brothers settle accounts fairly whats due to Noelle, she earns .
Just because shes my partner doesnt mean her work gets discounted.
Her songs are worth every penny.
You think youd be this popular singing someone elses lyrics? Half of your three million is thanks to her, and now you want to complain? Thats not just ungrateful, its insulting Stanley felt like hed just been slapped with a guilt stick.
Nicolas was giving him that classic Im not angry, just disappointed look, and it made his blood boil.
When he cin, Stanley had been ready to tear into Nicolas with righteous fury.
But now? Somehow he was the one in the wrong And about those 1,000 autographs, Nicolas continued, his tone light but unmistakably authoritative.
Thats part of your job.
If you stack off, we can dock your pay Stanley stood there fuming, practically radiating frustration He opened his mouth to snap back, but couldnt even form the words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNothing cout.
His righteous fire had been doused by a tsunami of twisted logNicolas gave him a casual wave. Alright, thats enough.
Go sign those autographs and deliver them to Noelle.
Ive already lost 30 million dollars just standing here listening to you m el complain. Stanley turned and stormed out, fists clenched, face stormy.
As soon as the door closed behind him, Nicolas couldnt help but chuckle.
Seriously, he thought, are all of om Noelles friends this entertaining? Its like bring gifted an endless supply of comedy content! Just as he was about to call Noelle and fill her in on Stanleys tantrum, his phone buzzes An incoming call.
He glanced at the screen.
It wa his relatives.
L Nicolas & unile faded.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he answered the call .
