Era Records, located on a remote road in the old city of Blue Bay, Helen Road. Although it was a Monday morning, it was sparsely populated, quiet and cheerful

A very dilapidated wooden plaque with a sense of age hangs vertically on the side of the gate, with the words "Era Records" written in red letters on a white background.

Yang Ming's Bugatti stopped in the open space outside the door, and saw his secretary Sunny and He Lin from the Management Committee of the Shanghai Financial Center, standing side by side at the door waiting for him.

"Yang Dong, this is the representative sent by Song Dong, Sister He Lin. Looking at Yang Ming walking over, Sunny opened his mouth to introduce.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Sister Mumu, we know each other. ”

He Lin's WeChat name is Mu Mu, and she also smiled, "Song Dong knows that I know you, so he asked me to be in charge of the transfer of assets, and acquaintances are easy to do." ”

"That's it, it's hard work. ”

When the three of them were greeting, another chubby middle-aged man in a suit walked up, nodded and said, "Some time ago, I saw Teacher Yang Ming on TV who was talented and showed his might. At that time, I was still thinking, if we had a singer like Mr. Yang Ming in the records of our era, why can't we revive it? I didn't expect that Mr. Yang Ming would actually become my boss, what a surprise! Mr. Yang Ming, welcome!"

"This is ......," Yang Ming asked.

"This is Zhao Yongcai, the general manager of Time Records. ”

"Oh. Yang Ming nodded, shook hands with Zhao Yongcai and said, "Manager Zhao, I've heard that over the years, the business of Era Records is not ideal!"

Zhao Yongcai took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "The climate has been bad these years, and it is difficult for the record company to operate!

"Oh?" Yang Ming raised his eyes to look at him.

Zhao Yongcai said, "Era Records is under the hands of Boss Du, and it is not valued at all. Female singers were sent by him to entertain friends, male singers were also sent to bars to earn money, everyone wanted to leave, people's hearts fluctuated, and of course the business was getting worse day by day! If it weren't for the fact that Era Records had been established for a long time, this signboard and land were still worth some money, otherwise it would have closed down a long time ago!"

Yang Ming nodded when he heard this, this Zhao Yongcai was still a little bold.

If Zhao Yongcai pushes all the current business situation to the general environment, Yang Ming will dismiss him on the spot and dismiss him!

But he can find out that Du Jinrong's poor management is the main reason for the current situation, so this person still has a little idea and a little guts, so Yang Ming decided to take a look.

"Manager Zhao, then you can take us in for a visit. ”

"Boss Yang Ming, please, two please. ”

Zhao Yongcai led Yang Ming and the three of them into the record company, and after entering, Yang Ming found that the environment here was still good.

The asphalt pavement, with green spaces and flower beds on both sides, and a few buildings in between, is a bit like the garden of a large family before liberation, and it is a bit far from modern companies.

Zhao Yongcai introduced as he walked, "The Times Record Company was established before the liberation of China, and it is the oldest record company in China! When the gramophone was still used, the Era Records Company already existed, and it produced records! Mengdie, the most popular female singer at that time, was our Times Record Company!"

Yang Ming nodded, no wonder this place looks so ancient, it turns out that there is such a history.

But for record companies, such a long history not only does not have much benefit, but becomes a drag!

Who of today's young people would listen to songs from the early part of the last century, but now they have been listening to songs for seventy or eighty years! Even their grandmothers rarely listen to such songs!

Always stand on the credit book, do not want to forge ahead, there is no fresh blood to join, and then there is a Du Jinrong who kills chickens and eggs, and the era record is in such a predicament, which is a matter of course!

"This is our exhibition room and the wall of honor!"

Yang Ming and the three of them were taken into an old-fashioned room, where there were many display cabinets, and some trophies and certificates were placed, including a certificate of the Golden Record Award.

However, Yang Ming looked down and saw that it was a certificate from the 60s of the last century, and it has been sixty years now!

"Our Era Records ......" Zhao Yongcai opened his mouth and was ready to talk about the glorious history of Era Records.

Yang Ming interrupted directly, "Manager Zhao, these are meaningless, take me to the office and ask the finance department to prepare the reports for last year and the first half of this year." ”

He didn't come here to visit, and the history of the period records had nothing to do with him.

He is not ready to continue the glorious history of period records, he will open a new record label on top of it!

Zhao Yong knew that he had met a hard-working boss, so he hurriedly took Yang Ming to the office, and after sitting down, the financial staff sent the report.

With a simple glance at the report, Yang Ming smiled, "I lost money last year, and I continued to lose money in the first half of this year! Especially in the last two months, the operating income is 0." ”

Such a company is completely on the verge of bankruptcy and has no value in existence!

What does it mean that the operating income is 0, that is, it is not in business! I don't make a penny! Don't make a net profit, I don't even have gross profit!

Zhao Yongcai stood there embarrassed, and said helplessly, "Originally, there were a few male and female singers in the company, who went to various bars to sing, or took on some work for rural red and white ceremonies. But recently, the company's upper echelons have been turbulent, and Boss Du's mind is not on our side! The singers have all gone clean, and naturally there is no turnover!"

Yang Ming asked, "How could Boss Du allow you to lose money for a long time?"

Zhao Yongcai said, "The key is still this piece of land, which was owned by Era Records before the liberation of the People's Republic of China! Boss Du estimates that it is possible to demolish and relocate here, otherwise the company would have been sold long ago!"

"I see. Yang Ming nodded, but he added, "Du Jinrong's calculation is wrong. In my opinion, this is the old town, which has been classified as a historic area, and should not be demolished for a long time!"

"That's good. Zhao Yongcai breathed a sigh of relief, he had worked here all his life and already had feelings.

Yang Ming flipped through the report and said, "I just looked at the report, although it is a loss every year, but fortunately, the loss amount is not much!"

"That's it. Zhao Yongcai smiled bitterly, "Now we can't sell records these days, and we don't have any good singers here, of course, we are losing money every year! ”

Yang Ming put down the report and nodded slightly, although this Zhao Yongcai has no ability, he is a self-aware person.

As he said, the Era Records Company did not toss around, did not take out loans and invest in disorderly transformation, this is Zhao Yongcai's greatest achievement!

"Take a look at the personnel report. ”
