Chapter 375: Sponsorship
Auction ends.
Wang Qiang initialed the contract with everyone, and the formal contract still needs to be signed by them and the "Voice" column group, and the money will first enter the account of the "Voice" column group, and then transfer it to the Guoxing trade account.
It sounds like a hassle, but it's a necessary process.
The brands that got the naming rights, special advertisements and team names were overjoyed, and the three heads of the remaining brands, Clinique, Kate Spey and Mark Jacobs, smiled bitterly that they had come for nothing and did not seize the opportunity.
The initialling of the contract was not fast.
Taking advantage of this time, Wang Qiang asked casually: "Everyone, do any of you know the audio equipment manufacturer?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads almost at the same time.
Except for Penny, the head of Kate Spade, she wanted to open her mouth at the time, but for some reason, she closed her mouth again.
Wang Qiang didn't pay much attention.
It wasn't until the contract was initialed that he got up and said hello to everyone, "I still have some things to do, you remember that I will send someone to China to sign a formal contract in two days." ”
"No problem. ”
"You go get busy first. ”
"We're going back to the company too. ”
The people of all the brands also packed up their things and walked out one by one.
Who should I go for audio equipment?
You must be able to afford the stage of a good voice!
Wang Qiang is still very serious about "The Voice", the first reason is that the voice in his memory is the classic of the classics, and he can't ruin the classics just because he plagiarized them, and second, he has collected so much money from brands, and he wants to create a live broadcast of awards that are a benchmark for luxury leather in China, so he naturally has to treat it well.
Audio equipment is the key to the key.
Why did every singer in "The Voice of China" seem to sing very well?
Tone repair.
If you want to repair the sound well, you must equip it.
In order to ensure the success of "The Voice", Wang Qiang put a lot of thought into it.
Just after walking around the corner with my father, a young woman's voice came from behind, "Hey, dear Wang, can you wait a moment?"
Wang Qiang heard the sound and saw that it was Penny, the senior vice president of Kate Sibei, and he blinked, "Ms. Penny, is there something wrong?"
"I'd like to talk to you about advertising. Penny stroked her ear-length blonde hair and smiled charmingly.
Wang Qiang said apologetically: "I have sold all the advertisements that can be sold, but there are really no more." ”
Penny licked her red lips and smiled, "Yes, you just didn't remember it." ”
Wang Qiang was puzzled: "What?"
"Sponsor ads. Penny reminded, "You didn't mention that in the ads you just mentioned. ”
Sponsored ads?
Ouch, you don't say I forgot.
He patted his head, a little annoyed, it was originally a money-making project, although it was certainly not as good as the title and special advertising, but at least the reserve price would not be lower than the name of the team.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Penny thought she didn't agree, and hurriedly added, "I know a sound equipment manufacturer, which is definitely first-class in the United States, as long as you want, I can even pull them to sponsor together, how about it?"
Wang Qiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Do you really know the audio equipment manufacturer?"
"What's there to fool you, hehe. Penny smiled and said: "The name of the audio equipment manufacturer is Well-Rounded-Sound, our company used to name other variety shows, the company sponsored variety show audio equipment, we have contact, the strength is very good, and I heard that they are entering the Chinese market recently, if you are willing to accept advertising sponsorship, I think it is very likely that they are willing to sponsor a good set of large audio equipment." ”
Set?
That's a lot of money.
Although Wang Qiang knows in his heart that a good voice does not require a complete set of large-scale audio equipment, but two or three sets, but even so, it can still save a lot of money.
He couldn't help but be tempted, pretending to be casual and asking, "How much money is your company going to sponsor?"
Penny held out a finger, "A million dollars." ”
If there was only one sponsor, Wang Qiang would definitely raise the price, but considering that the other party would also introduce the influence equipment supplier and continue to sponsor, he agreed after thinking about it and said, "Okay, but I want to trouble you to help introduce the audio equipment manufacturer." ”
"Okay. Penny smiled sweetly, she was beautiful, but she was actually a scheming woman, otherwise she would not have become a high-level executive of Kate Sibei at the age of twenty-six or seventeen, such as sponsors, she could have raised it directly at the meeting, but if she did so, the other two brands that did not compete for advertising would definitely compete with her, so it was better to take this opportunity to sell personal favors to Wang Qiang at the same time, and it was logical to become the advertising sponsor of "The Voice".
……
It's almost evening.
Wang Qiang and Penny came to Well-Rounded-Sound in Brooklyn, but their father stayed at the hotel to keep the agreement that The Voice had planned and initialed.
Inside.
Meet the company's owner, Adams Johnson.
"Dear Miss Penny, is this Mr. Wang Qiang, a famous Chinese entrepreneur you introduced?" Adams Johnson, a white man in his fifties who was already bald with a big belly, asked with a smile, and then directly stretched out his hands and hugged Wang Qiang, "Dear Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
On the way here, Penny had already spoken to Adams Johnson on the phone and explained the situation in general.
For the understanding of Westerners hugging to tell the truth Wang Qiang doesn't like it very much, he is still used to shaking hands, but people express enough kindness, and he can't refuse, so he had to hug it, and after parting, he said: "Mr. Johnson, it's an honor to meet you." ”
A little polite for a while.
Quickly getting to the point, as Penny had previously introduced the situation, Adams Johnson asked, "What kind of sound equipment do you need?"
In fact, I didn't know much about this Wang Qiang, so I had to say: "I'm going to hold a large-scale singing talent show, which requires a lot of audio equipment." ”
"I kind of know how many things you're needing. Adams Johnson's company, which obviously works with variety shows on a regular basis, smacks his lips: "First of all you need several types of consoles, such as SD5, SD7 and SD8 and so on, you also need a large sound surround, microphones are also essential, well, if someone wants to dance and sing at the same time, wireless microphones are also needed, I have the world's top equipment here, in addition, our company also operates stage lighting equipment, dozens of moving head beam lights are definitely needed, active crossover stage monitors and so on and so on, according to the scale that Miss Petunia told me, I think these devices can get at least three million dollars. ”
Three million dollars?
That's nearly 10 million RMB more than I expected!
Wang Qiang was secretly speechless, and finally knew that the sound of 20 million audio equipment was not an exaggeration, and now the technology is not so developed, the price of audio equipment is more expensive, hearing Adams Johnson's offer, he wanted to grit his teeth and agree, the time is too tight, and he has to rush back to China to do a lot of things, he has no time to find other audio equipment manufacturers to understand the situation.
"Well, three million dollars......" he said he had promised.
Who knows that Adams Johnson interrupted with a smile: "But Penny said that she is very optimistic about the talent show you are going to hold, she said that the ratings will be very high, and my company wants to enter the Chinese market, so as long as you accept our sponsorship, I can lend you the audio equipment, the ratings are high to a certain point, and it is not impossible to give it away for free, and you can also send professionals to help maintain the equipment, which is also free." ”
Whoever refuses such a good thing is a bastard, but Wang Qiang still kept a heart, "There is no problem with sponsorship, and you can also talk about how much the ratings will be given away for free, the key is that I want to see how good your audio equipment is." ”
"Yes, I'll take you to see it now. Adams Johnson stood up.
Next, Wang Qiang and Penny followed Adams Johnson to the product laboratory to try to distinguish whether the sound equipment and stage lighting were good or not.
Not to mention, it is worthy of being a well-known equipment manufacturer in the United States.
At least in the eyes of Wang Qiang, an amateur, whether it is the audio equipment or the stage lighting, it is perfect.
After reading it, the two sides also initialed the sponsorship contract.
Another three million dollars remained.
If the rating exceeds 8% according to the contract, you can also earn a complete set of "The Voice" sound equipment and stage lighting props!
I have to say that this trip to the United States is worth it.
