The whole word is no advertisement] Chapter O48 Li Yan's third carriage
"What are you holding in your hand?" the fat girl was very interested in Li Yan holding a roll of printer paper in her hand.
"Look at it. Li Yan threw the printing paper in his hand onto the fat girl's table, as if throwing a roll of waste paper.
"Contract for the assignment of copyright. The fat girl spread the printer paper flat on the table, and now it was two pieces nailed together, and on top was a copyright transfer contract.
"Party B transfers the copyright of the song in the appendix of the contract to Party A for free......" Skipping many public terms at the beginning of the contract, the fat girl directly found the most critical terms of the contract.
"In a copyright transfer contract, I transferred the rights of some songs I had written before to Beijing Times Entertainment Records. Li Yan explained.
"You are so generous, so many beautiful songs are transferred for free, and you don't feel distressed?" asked the fat girl.
"You're so stupid when you're your boyfriend, where would I do this kind of loss-making thing, you look at the next contract. Li Yan reached out and took a contract pressed underneath and took it to the top and smiled.
"Draft contract for the equity transfer of Beijing Times Entertainment Record Company. The fat girl looked at the title of the contract, and then also found the most important clause in it: "Article 17: Party B injects 3 million yuan into Party A, and Party A transfers its shares of no less than 4o but 49 to Party B ......"
"Injecting 3 million to get more than 4o% of a record company is already very cheap, and the first contract is just a bargaining chip, and this contract is what I value. Li Yan explained with a smile, he remembered the meeting between Wu and Zhang Xingsong.
In a luxury private room of the old yellow restaurant, Li Yan and Zhang Xingsong talked for a long time, Zhang Xingsong is a native of Beijing, in Beijing dialect is a player in Beijing City, after graduating from university, he was assigned to a group of workers under the school, after less than a year, he quit his job, and a few players from the old Beijing City went to Shenzhen to do business, and after some savings, for his own music, he returned to Beijing to open a record company called Beijing Times Entertainment.
But in the early 9o's, the domestic record company was greatly impacted by Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music, and his company strength was very weak, although his company also signed a few singers and had a few records, but in China, the market flooded with Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music has never set off much "waves" and "flowers".
In the private room, Zhang Xingsong drank a few taels of wine, and poured bitter water on Li Yan while the wine was strong, telling him about the poor environment of the domestic record industry and the current situation of his company.
"Brother Zhang, is the reason why your record company is struggling just because the domestic environment is not good, as far as I know, there are many excellent pop songs in China, and the popularity of these songs is not weaker than those Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs. At that time, Li Yan asked Zhang Xingsong.
"The general environment is on the one hand, the most important thing is that the company does not have particularly "colorful" singers, and on the other hand, insufficient funds are also an important reason. Zhang Xingsong said.
"Brother Zhang, I think excellent singers also need to be cultivated, a popular pop song can often make a singer popular, I don't know if you agree with this point of view. Li Yan said, he remembered the many singers who relied on a song to become famous in the world.
I couldn't agree more, but the problem is that the company doesn't have its own songwriters, and the songs written by well-known songwriters don't have the turn of our small company. Zhang Xingsong said with some frustration, "Once I complained to my old classmate, your teacher, she gave me a surprise, she sent me a few songs, when I saw those songs, I could foresee that once they were launched, they would be popular all over the country, and I also seemed to see the future glory of the company, so I couldn't wait to meet the author who wrote these songs, but Chen Yan told me that the author did not agree to make these songs public, do you know what my mood was at that time?" Zhang Xingsong's eyes looked at Li Yan with some resentment, and let Li Yan "touch" his nose and smile bitterly, fortunately Zhang Xingsong is a man, if the "female" person looks at him with this kind of eyes, it will definitely make people misunderstand what he did to that "female" person.
"Brother Zhang, aren't we sitting here talking about this matter?" Li Yan hurriedly said.
"Li Yan, so you agree to transfer those songs of yours to me?" Zhang Xingsong's eyes burst out with a dazzling light.
"Well, I decided to transfer these songs to our company for free. Li Yan nodded and said.
With a click, the wine glass in Zhang Xingsong's hand fell to the dining table, and he grew his mouth and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Brother Zhang!" Li Yan exclaimed with a smile.
"Li Yan, what did you just say, can you say it again?" Zhang Xingsong asked in disbelief as he dug out his ears.
"I said I decided to transfer the songs to our company for free. Li Yan repeated.
"What you said is true?" Zhang Xingsong was still incredulous, he knew the value of these songs very well, how could he believe that she had been prepared for heavy bleeding before she came, only to be told that he could get them for free.
"No, Li Yan, I just heard you talk about our company, what's going on?" Although Zhang Xingsong drank a lot of wine, his brain was not 'confused', and he still caught the problem of Li Yan's words.
"Brother Zhang, how much is the total assets of Beijing Times now?" asked Li Yan.
"There are about four or five million, why are you asking this?" Zhang Xingsong hesitated, but still said the company's assets, in his opinion, Li Yan is a high student, even if he knows these data, it will not have much impact.
"Brother Zhang, I can transfer those songs of mine to you for free, but I have a request?" Li Yan said.
"What a request, as long as I can meet it, it must be satisfied. Zhang Xingsong said that the record company's life now depends on these songs.
"I can add some funds to your record company, and if you agree, Beijing Times can also say that it is mine, and those songs will of course serve our own company. Li Yan said.
Li Yan's proposal was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Xingsong, he has always regarded Li Yan as a talented high student, he didn't expect this high student to want to inject capital into his company, in his mind, a high student can have a thousand children and eight hundred at best, but listening to Li Yan's tone, the money he invested does not seem to be a small amount.
"Li Yan, how much do you want to invest?" Zhang Xingsong asked.
"I can invest three million for the company, and then I will talk about it after the accounting of the shares, what do you think?" Li Yan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, his tone seemed to say three hundred yuan instead of three million.
"Three million?!Li Yan, I heard you right, you really have so much money?!" Zhang Xingsong asked in disbelief, he had to look at the senior student in front of him again, as if he wanted to get to know him again.
"Brother Zhang, look at this restaurant and its seventeen branches in Shangyang, plus the one hundred and five chain stores of Huang's Sauce Beef 'Meat' in the province, how does it compare to your Beijing era?" asked Li Yan as he pointed to the ceiling board in the private room with his chopsticks.
"In terms of total assets, they are definitely stronger than Beijing Times, but they belong to different industries, and there is no comparable 'sex'. Zhang Xingsong said that when he and Li Yan came here just now, they were still envious of the hot business of this very earthy restaurant.
"This restaurant is mine. Li Yan's words made Zhang Xingsong almost jump, he was thinking about what kind of price to buy out those songs from Li Yan, but now that people are much richer than him, how can he talk about this "transaction".
"So I don't care how much copyright transfer fee you give me, to put it bluntly, in addition to the money I have invested, I can buy more than a dozen of your Beijing Times with spare money in my hand now, and the reason why I agree to transfer the software is because I see the future prospects of this industry, and it is also for me to promise to everyone. Li Yan said.
"Li Yan, the Beijing era is all my hard work, and it is also mine, I have a bottom line, if you agree, I will agree to your capital injection. Zhang Xingsong thought about it and said.
"What's the bottom line?" asked Li Yan.
"Now the company is wholly owned by me, no matter how much you invest, I can give you up to 49% of the shares, no matter when you can't take my controlling stake in the company, this clause must be written into the contract. Zhang Xingsong said.
"This is not a problem, I have no intention of asking for a controlling stake in your company, and besides, I don't know much about the operation process of the record company, I only need your 4o shares at most, do you want to worry, we can draw up a draft contract after dinner, what do you think?" Li Yan laughed, thinking about it from another perspective, he understood Zhang Xingsong very well, just like he would not give up his controlling stake in Taiji Software no matter what.
…………
"Li Yan, I want to ask what you will do if I don't agree to your request for capital injection just now?" In the afternoon, Zhang Xingsong signed the equity distribution draft they jointly drafted, and asked Li Yan after getting the contract that belonged to him.
"For the sake of Teacher Chen Yan, I will still transfer the copyright of these songs to you, but I will find another record company to inject capital, or simply set up my own record company, I have a lot of more 'fine' music in my head, of course, these music will not be transferred to you again. Li Yan rolled the two contracts into a roll, took it in his hand, and said to Zhang Xingsong with a smile.
"It's a good thing I agreed to your investment, otherwise I would have provoked myself with a formidable enemy who could easily crush me. Zhang Xingsong wiped a cold sweat and said, judging from Li Yan's current talent and his strong financial strength
He had no doubt about that.
"The ones you said won't appear, because we will be in the same boat in the future, and I have a suggestion, the name of Beijing Times Entertainment Record Company is not very good, it is better to change it to Beijing Times Entertainment Media Co., Ltd., you think about it. Li Yan said.
"Entertainment media, what do you think?" asked Zhang Xingsong, although he is a musician, he has a rare rationality in musicians.
"Our country is trying to join the Internet, and I expect to get access to the Internet next year, and in a few years, the Internet will become the most important means for people to access information and music, and at that time, the real winter of the record industry will come. Li Yan said something that Zhang Xingsong couldn't understand, maybe few people could understand his words in the early 9o.
"Whether it is a record or the Internet, it is just a communication medium for music, which is not contradictory to our company's main business now, and the word entertainment media with the word "hua" is more yang and "spring" and more likely to be officially recognized. Li Yan saw Zhang Xingsong's confused appearance and continued.
"Although I don't understand what you said, I understand what you mean, Times Entertainment Media is indeed much better than Times Entertainment Records, and after our official contract was signed, I changed the name of the company. Zhang Xingsong finally accepted Li Yan's suggestion.
…………
"Li Yan, what do you want?" the fat girl saw Li Yan looking thoughtful, and pushed him and asked.
"I'm thinking about this afternoon, your boyfriend and I will have another company in the future, what songs do you want to listen to in the future, you want to find a celebrity to sign it, just come to me. Li Yan recovered from her memories, pinched the fat girl's round face and said with a smile.
"Let it go, all the students in the class are watching?" said the fat girl, with a blush on her face.
Li Yan smiled, looking at the fat girl's slightly warped cherry mouth, thinking about it, so far their most intimate action is to hug, this girl is a little shy, many times she wanted to capture her lovely red "lips" but she escaped.
"Li Yan, Dai Jia put you on the stove this time, if you can't get the first place in the exam, it is estimated that many classmates will jump out to give their opinions. "The fat girl said a seemingly serious problem.
"Don't worry, the first place must still be mine, they can't take it away. Li Yan said very confidently, to say that the most likely to pass him in the class is his fat girl, but mathematics, physics and chemistry are the weaknesses of the fat girl, although she has greatly improved her memory and comprehension ability now, after all, she still can't compare to him.
"It's good if you have this confidence, my goal this time is to be second in the grade, let's have a perfect match in this exam and become a legend in Shangyang City!" said the fat girl with a raised little fist and said with great ambition.
"Well, we're going to make it. Li Yan also raised his fist and said.
