Chapter 408: Take Alpha

Hearing Xu Yiyang's question, Wu Zongxian shook his head.

Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and said: "The most taboo is to invest in the founder's part-time start-up company, you yourself are a star, and a well-known host, your career center is completely on your personal development, only a small part of the energy is on the record company, I invest in you in this case, there is no guarantee, in case your own career development is very good, you gradually give up the record company, then my money will not be wasted?"

Wu Zongxian thought about it, what Xu Yiyang said did make sense.

However, it is really impossible for me to devote myself to a record company now, after all, what I really care about now is my development in the entertainment industry, and I also want to become the first brother of variety shows in Taiwan Province.

Just when he didn't know how to explain to Xu Yiyang, Xu Yiyang waved his hand and said directly: "That's it, Brother Xian, I'll give you three million dollars to buy your company as a wholly owned company." ”

Wu Zongxian was excited in his heart, and asked, "Three million dollars, cash?"

"Yes. Xu Yiyang nodded: "Three million in cash, but I want to follow you in two payments, the acquisition will be given 1.5 million first, and you will continue to help me run this company for two years, and after two years, I will give you the remaining 1.5 million." ”

Saying that, Xu Yiyang said again: "Of course, I won't let you do it in vain, in the past two years, you have taken out a small part of your energy to manage the record company like you did before, and I will give you a salary of 500,000 US dollars a year, that is, within two years, you can get 4 million US dollars." ”

The entertainment industry in 2000 was far less pompous than later generations.

It's not an era where a big coffee can earn millions of dollars by casually participating in an event.

Today's artists have to be exploited by agents and brokerage companies, just like Nicholas Tse, although it is very popular now, a brand's endorsement fee is 2 million a year, but it may not be one-tenth of what is really in his pocket.

Although Wu Zongxian's coffee position is not low now, this guy is not an idol, so his main income is still in variety shows, and this income is not as good as imagined.

As for the record labels, they are not really profitable yet.

Four million dollars in two years is already a huge amount of money for him.

Moreover, far beyond his heart's expectations.

If Xu Yiyang gave him two million dollars, he would grit his teeth and sell Alpha Music.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he said to Xu Yiyang: "Mr. Xu, since this is the case, then do what you say!"

Xu Yiyang said: "In this way, let's sign a framework agreement first, you come to Zhonghai to find me in April, and I will sign a formal contract with you, but when the time comes, I hope you will bring these singers signed by your company as well, and I want to meet them." ”

Hearing that it would be until April, Wu Zongxian was somewhat disappointed.

He thought he would get $1.5 million right now.

However, he didn't know that Xu Yiyang's money was all in the stock market now, and if he gave him 1.5 million now, it would be equivalent to missing the gains brought by this 1.5 million, and he would lose at least 1.5 million to 2 million US dollars.

Therefore, it is natural to wait for Nvidia's market to pass, or most of the market has passed, and then cash it out to him.

Wu Zongxian is mainly worried about whether there will be any twists and turns in this matter a month later.

But he really can't say anything, it's just that he just waits for an extra month, which is not a big deal for him.

After thinking about it carefully, he was no longer worried that Xu Yiyang was playing tricks on himself, after all, he heard that he was Li Zekai's guest, and the face of the second young master of the Li family was here, and it was impossible to even go back on the matter of four million dollars.

Xu Yiyang said to him: "The reason why I have to wait until April is because I plan to go back to the mainland to register a music company first, and then use that company to buy your Alpha Music. ”

Wu Zongxian suddenly realized, and immediately said: "No problem, no problem, no problem, contact me at any time when you get it ready, and I will take Alpha's artist to Zhonghai to meet you at that time." ”

Xu Yiyang nodded, and the other party Junhui said: "Junhui, you go through the content of the agreement with your current brother, and if there is no problem, sign the framework agreement first."

The framework agreement is to sign a document on the intention first, and after the agreement is signed, everyone will discuss the more specific details, and then complete the formal agreement.

Wu Zongxian was also very simple and signed his name directly on the agreement.

And after he signed it, he began to plan how the four million dollars should be spent.

Prices are very low now, the purchasing power of four million dollars is quite amazing, you can buy a luxury villa in Hong Kong, and you can buy two in Taipei!

......

In Xu Yiyang's eyes, CRBT is a big business that makes money lying down.

As long as the technical problems are solved, the copyright of the song is solved, and the rest is just lying down and waiting for the money.

In the next two years, the number of domestic mobile phone users will reach 1 or 200 million, at least tens of millions of people will use CRBT, and the monthly CRBT information fee will be at least 100 million or 200 million.

That's two or three billion yuan a year.

Twenty or three billion, how much can you share?

With the current sharing mechanism of telecommunications, that is, mobile to service providers that has not yet changed its name, it will at least share half of it, with a scale of more than one billion.

So how much does it cost you for a year?

First and foremost, copyright is the big one.

Hong Kong record companies, adding up to millions of Hong Kong dollars a year;

Domestic record companies estimate that 5 million yuan can be taken down.

If you add it up, it will be more than 10 million yuan a year, less than 15 million yuan.

The second cost is development and operation.

It doesn't take much money to develop, and this thing itself is not a very difficult thing to do, it is nothing more than to develop a website, so that users can go up and set up their own songs and ringtones, which is all counted, millions of them are remarkable.

The operating cost is not high, this thing does not need to go out for business, does not need to do any additional promotion, only needs technical personnel to maintain stable operation.

Therefore, it adds up to a cost of more than 20 million yuan a year.

However, the cost of more than 20 million can leverage more than one billion profits, which is almost the same as grabbing money.

But the carrier business itself is so powerful.

Wait another ten years, when everyone starts listening to songs online with smartphones, and then you will be even more happy.

Almost all the copyrights of Chinese songs are in their own hands, so they are really lying down to make money.

The point is, these record company people don't know how much profit they give themselves.

It is estimated that on the day when their ringtones were launched, these record company bosses who now think they are fools will dance and scold their mothers in the office.

If you wait for the advent of the smartphone era and the protection of mobile phone music copyrights, these record company owners are afraid that they will regret hitting their heads against the wall.

Because, they not only gave themselves the copyright of all the music mobile phones now, but also gave themselves the copyright of all new songs in the next 30 years.

Thinking of the CRBT system, Xu Yiyang immediately thought of Liu Mingchao's fellow brother, the founder of the future WeChat, Zhang Xiaolong.

Xu Yiyang wanted to dig Zhang Xiaolong before, but his strength was not good and he couldn't dig it.

But now don't worry about money, soon you will have hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, which is really terrible.

Now there may be some billionaires worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the mainland, but the value of these people is calculated by market value and valuation, and there is a lot of water.

When the time comes, these hundreds of millions of dollars will be lying on Citibank's account, and they will not show their mountains or dew.

Even, on a list like Forbes, you won't know that there is a young Chinese man who has opened an account in Hong Kong with hundreds of millions of dollars in it.

When the time comes, he will take some money out casually, buy Zhang Xiaolong's Foxmail, and then let him come to work in his company.

If memory serves, he will sell Foxmail to Boda in April this year, and the announced selling price is 12 million yuan, but it is estimated that there must be a certain amount of moisture, and both the acquirer and the acquired party like to brag about it these years.

A million deals, I can't wait to blow it up to five million, and put gold on everyone's face.

Therefore, Xu Yiyang estimates that the money that Zhang Xiaolong can actually get at that time will be seven or eight million at most, and there may even be some shares given by Boda to make up the amount.

Xu Yiyang thought very simply, I won't bargain with you Zhang Xiaolong, I will accept you with 15 million cash, you will come and work for me for five years, and I will give you another 3 million basic salary every year.

In other words, if you take your own line, you can get 30 million.

He believes that Zhang Xiaolong should not refuse.

So, he called Liu Mingchao and asked him: "Mingchao, what is your senior brother Zhang Xiaolong doing now?"

Liu Mingchao said: "I just spoke to him on the phone a few days ago, and he is now negotiating with two companies interested in buying Foxmail, and it is said that it is almost finalized. ”

"Good. Xu Yiyang said: "You call him, just say that I am willing to spend 15 million to buy his Foxmail, and the cash transaction will be paid off at one time, but he must come to Jiayang Technology to work for five years, if he is interested, let him call me." ”

Liu Mingchao said in surprise: "Mr. Xu, you're not joking, are you? Fifteen million received Senior Brother Zhang's Foxmail and asked him to come to Jiayang Technology?"

"Yes. Xu Yiyang asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Mingchao said excitedly: "If Senior Brother Zhang can come, it will be great!
