Chapter 328: Times Have Changed!

Lin'an, shining science and technology headquarters.

Gan Liangchen rarely set up a small tea house in his office and made kung fu tea.

The object of his hospitality was a middle-aged man with a slight bald head, and a capable woman in her forties was accompanying him.

"It is said that the tea culture is better in the southwest and southeast, and although the green tea in Lin'an is good, it is not suitable for making kung fu tea. Gan Liangchen washed the tea and made the tea, and said: "Song Dong is from Caiyun, and he has studied a lot of Pu'er, right? ”

"Please!"

Song Luding picked up a small cup and drank it all.

After tasting the sweet tea, Song Luding said with a smile: "This tea is sweet and has no astringency, and the chestnut fragrance is strong, it should have been stored for at least ten years, right?"

"I don't know good tea, so I drink it anyway. Gan Liangchen smiled and picked up the small half-cake Pu'er tea next to him, and looked at the package, "It was made 12 years ago, and Song Dong has good judgment!"

"Compared to eyesight, where can I compare to Gan Dong?" Song Luding sighed, "I have worked hard for more than 30 years, but I have created a company of 7 billion, and my net worth is only about 2 billion." But what about Gan Dong? It has only been more than ten years since he started his business, and now Shining Technology is the tenth largest group company in China's private sector, with a market value of more than 800 billion yuan, how many times is it that of mine?"

"The times are different, the mode of natural entrepreneurship is different, if I started a business in the era of Song Dong, maybe it won't reach your height. Gan Liangchen said, "To put it mildly, I also grew up listening to the songs of those singers in your company! This kind of feeling is not something that can be erased when you have money." ”

"Yes. ”

Song Luding laughed.

That's exactly what he's so proud of.

No matter how much money he has, in the history of pop music in China, his name has long been recorded in history.

The singers he has cultivated have grown up with generations of young people for more than 20 years.

"But times are different now, and our music industry has to adapt to the development of society. Gan Liangchen said, "What I told Song Dong last time, do you have an answer today?"

Song Luding's face sank slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth again.

He drank another cup of tea and let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Juan next to him smiled and said, "Song Dong, in fact, you can really think about it, we are very sincere." ”

"I know. Song Luding said, "A company with a market value of 7 billion, you are valued at 10.5 billion, and you directly raise the price by half to buy stocks, you really can afford me and know how to respect my hard work, but ......."

"In that case, what are you hesitating about?" Wang Juan still said softly, "We only need 20% of the shares, and everyone will share them proportionally, and you are still the largest shareholder of the company." You don't have to worry about us seizing power or anything, to put it mildly, such a small plate, we don't even think about controlling it.

If all the big companies have to occupy more than 50 percent of the shares of their affiliated companies or companies that invest in other people, how hard does this company have to be? How much money does it have to have? Aren't you tired?"

Song Luding smiled bitterly when he heard this.

He couldn't say anything to refute it.

"And I'm going to put it a little more seriously, the market isn't what it was a year ago, it's changed dramatically. Wang Juan said, "I have been in the music industry for more than ten years, and I am your junior, but I have never seen a music industry that is booming like it is now." Seeing that the capacity of the music market is getting bigger and bigger, and there are signs of exploding, don't you want to fight again?"

"Think!" Song Luding didn't hesitate at this point.

Wang Juan is also a famous music producer, and was later recruited by Shining Technology to become the director of a music channel.

What she can see, of course Song Luding can see.

Since last year, Guan Yili's "Tolerance" single exceeded 5 million online purchases and downloads in 200 hours, and the music market has developed by leaps and bounds.

Not only has the number of electronic albums and singles purchased by singers increased dramatically, but offline physical records have also rebounded slightly.

Even in previous years, sales of music products were growing.

For example, a superstar like Su Mo, his music was downloaded more than 50 million times on the Internet last year, including albums and singles, bringing rich profits to totem music.

The same is true for Song Luding's Phoenix Records, Tang Yuan bought several of Shen Huan's songs, and the cumulative downloads last year also exceeded 30 million times, and the albums and music of the previous twenty years were also downloaded 40 million times.

Because of these outstanding results, the annual reports of the three major music companies last year were very good, the dividends received by everyone are increasing, and the stock prices are slowly increasing.

It seems that as long as you follow the trend, you can continue to make money, and the form is very good.

But how did this kind of passive money-making get into Song Luding's eyes?

What he wants to do is to take the initiative to attack, rely on the group of excellent singers in his hands, occupy a large market share, and even master and formulate rules, so as to get more benefits.

But in this way, the problem also arises.

Doing all kinds of publicity and activities, including making albums, etc., as well as various operations on the Internet camp, all need money to support.

Unless he has kings and queens like Tang Yuan, Su Mo, Zhu Shengyu, Zhou Jing, and Xu Ping in his hands, then fans will naturally buy it.

Of course, even if it is the king and queen above, if it is a large operation, it is very likely to get more benefits.

Everything is inseparable from money, but Phoenix Records doesn't have much spare money, so many people, so much equipment, and all kinds of maintenance, etc., where not to spend money?

In the bleakest years of the music market, Phoenix Records fell into losses every year, if it weren't for the desperate concerts of Tang Yuan and Zhou Jing, the two kings and queens, it really felt like they couldn't hold on.

Now the situation is a little better, but it is difficult to spend all 100 million or 200 million for publicity, not to mention that like a big dog like Shanhai.com, a movie promotion will smash 200 million.

Seeing that other people's Internet companies have too much money to use, but they have no money to use, it is impossible to say that Song Luding does not have the slightest idea.

Some time ago, Gan Liangchen entrusted Wang Juan to visit Song Luding in Huhai to discuss the matter of Shining Technology's stake in Phoenix Records.

Shining Technology invested 2.1 billion yuan at the market value of 10.5 billion yuan of Phoenix Records, buying 20% of the shares in the hands of shareholders, instead of buying outstanding shares in the market, which is equivalent to giving them money.

Because the current market value of Phoenix Records is only 7 billion yuan.

After Shining Technology becomes a shareholder, they will also give Phoenix Records a five-year interest-free loan of 2 billion yuan to expand their business.

On the surface, shareholders, including Song Luding, have made a lot of money, not to mention cashing out at a high level, and the company can still get a lot of money.

But what Song Luding is worried about is that he originally only owned 30% of the shares, and if the shares are dispersed, Shining Technology will be much less than his own shares.

After two or three years, after they get acquainted, it doesn't seem to be difficult to kick themselves out.

This is why after the other shareholders agreed, Song Luding resolutely disagreed.

That's why Gan Liangchen invited him to Lin'an, and everyone talked about it face to face.

"If you want to, why don't we cooperate?" Wang Juan said, "In addition to our 2 billion interest-free loan that can be used for 5 years, Phoenix Records will also have the publicity resources of Shining Technology, and we will have a lot of preferential treatment for our affiliated shareholding companies!

Song Luding's lips moved.

Wang Juan is right, in terms of online video resources, Youyi.com is the first in Asia, and the basic disks of Phoenix Records are in Asia, if they have their promotional resources, it will be of great benefit to the promotion of the fame of its singers, the sales of electronic records and physical records.

But in this way, the influence of Shining Technology on Phoenix Records is even greater!

"Song Dong, have you seen the success of 'Meteor Girl'?" In silence, Gan Liangchen said slowly, "How much impact do you think they will have on the music industry?"

"Their model, if it works, is a disruption. Song Luding said without hesitation, "Lu Xiaofeng is really a genius! I can't imagine that a multi-person combination that everyone is not optimistic about will be made so popular by him! Now it depends on whether they can stabilize it, once they stabilize the basic market, within three or five years, the 'Meteor Girl' will be the cash cow of Shanhai Net." ”

"So do you think they will be able to stand firm in the end?" asked Gan Liangchen.

"It's hard to say. Song Luding said hesitantly.

"If I tell you that now Shanhaiwang has begun to prepare another variety show, which is specially tailored for them by Teacher Lu Xiaofeng, then would you still say that?" Gan Liangchen said again.

"What!?"

Song Luding was taken aback and blurted out: "What is the relationship between them? Is Teacher Lu Xiaofeng's idea so easy to get?!"

"There's no other reason, it's just throwing money!" Gan Liangchen said, "Do you know how much Zheng Rongrong paid to invite Shen Huan to act in a TV series?"

"The legend should be the sky-high price of 20 million?" Song Luding said uncertainly.

Gan Liangchen shook his head, his right hand was raised, and five fingers were spread.

"Impossible!"

Song Luding was so shocked that his eyes popped out, "Impossible! How many actors are there? It's not that he acts as an investor and invests in shares, 30 million is in the sky!"

But she still gave it, and Shen Huan confiscated the money for the variety show selection idea of 'Meteor Girl' before. But Zheng Rongrong later gave him 10 million directly. Gan Liangchen smiled slightly, "If it were me, and others treated me like this, I would do another variety show for them!"

Song Luding's mind was very confused.

He knew that Gan Liangchen would not lie to himself in this kind of thing.

But Zheng Rongrong is a big dog, it's really hateful!

It's all about money to get results!

But she's close to success!

Look at the current momentum of "Meteor Girl", it really crushes almost all singers!

If it weren't for Su Mo's recent concert, maybe Su Mo would have to be pressed down for the time being.

His own Tang Yuan is silently polishing his new album, but his momentum is too much weaker.

"Song Dong, think about it!" Gan Liangchen said in a harmonious voice: "Do you want to develop hand in hand with us, or do you hold your own Phoenix Record and watch others approach and surpass you step by step!" It's time to make a decision!"

"I see!"

Song Luding took a deep breath, "Now my heart is very messy, I'll go back and think about it...... Well, three days! Within three days, I will give you an accurate answer!"

"Good!"

Gan Liangchen stretched out his hand, "I hope we have a chance to cooperate!"

Song Luding shook hands with him, and obviously felt that Gan Liangchen was very hard and resolute.
