Chapter 450: Choice
"But from the current point of view, none of the mainland Chinese companies have such a plan, and Miss Annie's judgment does not know where it comes from?"
Liang Baiheng's eyes are burning, and there are not too many people who can be optimistic about the mainland, but at present, the companies that come to the listing are mainly local enterprises, and the real giant enterprises, except for the four major companies that came to Xiangjiang to take root in the early years, there are no other enterprises with this sign.
"How can I judge?" Liu Ruoyi had a headache, she was able to say that I already knew that in three years, the five major banks of the mainland's financial giants would start the H-share listing boom?
Can Liu Ruoyi say that one financing record after another will be born, and then billions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars of original stock spreads will be arbitraged by so-called strategic investors?
Each listed company still has hundreds of millions of so-called listing fees that fall into the pockets of those top investment banks, feeding a group of brokers engaged in investment banking financial business in Xiangjiang?
"I wonder if Mr. Liang still has any thoughts about Peregrine?" asked Liu Ruoyi without answering. Liang Baiheng's problem is simply unsolvable and unimportant to her now.
The important thing is that if we want to get a piece of the pie in the future wave of mainland giants listing boom, it is indispensable to have the father of red chips in front of us and a platform that has already established mutual trust with the mainland financial circles.
"Miss Annie is very interested in Peregrine?" Liang Baiheng chuckled in his heart, this is his heart, according to the normal development process, he will never have a chance to get Peregrine back.
But...
Liang Baiheng thought that the person in front of him had a net worth of billions in Aurora Media, and he made a fortune quickly, far exceeding any billionaire in Xiangjiang so far.
If it all comes down to luck, it would be an insult to his IQ for someone like Liang Baiheng.
No one can get billions of net worth by going far.
Winning the lottery is the most effective, fastest, and most illusory way to make a windfall invented by human beings.
But those who can win the jackpot on this road, at best, can get hundreds of millions of dollars, which is quite rebellious.
A person like Liu Ruoyi, who made a fortune by doing business in a down-to-earth manner, no matter how young Liang Baiheng is, he will not underestimate it, let alone make such a big career in a highly competitive industry like the entertainment industry.
"I think it would be a pity for Mr. Liang to give up Peregrine like this, which was originally the pride of the investment banking industry in Hong Kong, but it only fell into the hands of Western capital for various reasons. ”
Liu Ruoyi smiled.
If you still have illusions about Peregrine, that's good, as long as you have an idea, then the two sides have a chance to talk further.
In the current Xiangjiang, Liu Ruoyi believes that apart from her, Liang Baiheng has no channel to get Peregrine back, even if it is nominally there is no chance to get it back.
At the beginning, with a mere $60 million in funds, Liang Baiheng ran all over Hong Kong and even all the connections in the Asian financial circle but did not find it, thus "suddenly dying" Peregrine, which was generally a high-quality asset at that time.
At what time, even if Liang Baiheng is dripping blood in his heart, his foundation is still too shallow, but his ambition is too big, so that Western capital will join forces to directly kill Peregrine!
Even Li Chaoren, who used to have a good eye for Liang Baiheng, was silent at that critical time, and obviously there was a shadow of Western capital behind it.
Otherwise, with Li Chaoren's net worth and a capital of 60 million US dollars, no matter what way it is, it will be done in minutes.
It is precisely because of this that after the sudden death of Peregrine, Liang Baiheng was disheartened and understood that he had become the target of public criticism, which led to such an end.
Now that Liu Ruoyi actually raised this question, no matter how old Liang Baiheng is, this heartbeat can't help but start to accelerate.
"It doesn't make sense to say that anymore. Liang Baiheng took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement and pretended to be relaxed.
"In the future," Liu Ruoyi said with a smile, "although Faba is a giant financial company, it doesn't have so many resources invested in Xiangjiang, and if there is a slight loss in their Xiangjiang or Asian business, I believe some people will find a way to fill the shortfall." ”
"Miss Annie is saying that you still have a way?" Liang Baiheng's heart tightened, at this time, his understanding of Liu Ruoyi was still on the surface.
But listening to the other party's tone, he really looks confident.
If there is a real chance to get Peregrine back, of course, 100% of it will definitely be a matter of no thought, as long as Liang Baiheng can get back some of it, he will be satisfied.
Here, too much of his hard work was condensed, and he was taken away in a simple and rude way, to say that there was no complaint in his heart, it was too high to think of him Liang Baiheng's saint mentality.
"There are some solutions, but there are some things that need Mr. Liang's cooperation. Liu Ruoyi smiled slightly.
"Liang can't do anything that violates professional ethics. Liang Baiheng was a little disappointed when he heard Liu Ruoyi's tone, if Liu Ruoyi wanted to use him as an internal response, and colluded with the outside to eat Faba's business in Xiangjiang, Liang Baiheng would definitely not do it.
Not only professional ethics, but also this kind of bottomless operation is easy to make a mistake at the legal level.
"No, no, no, Mr. Liang misunderstood," Liu Ruoyi shook her head, "What I said about cooperation is to wait for Cornerstone Investment to win Peregrine, and I hope that Mr. Liang can agree to continue to lead Peregrine, and other things will not let Mr. Liang ask the slightest question." ”
In this way, Liang Baiheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the curiosity in his heart became even stronger.
However, since Liang Baiheng doesn't plan to participate in this kind of core trade secret, he is naturally embarrassed to ask about it.
"Miss Annie, if Cornerstone Investment can win Peregrine, Liang will definitely guarantee to stay!" Regarding Liu Ruoyi's request, Liang Baiheng agreed without much thought.
Although Peregrine fell into the hands of Cornerstone Investment, for him, there is no essential difference between falling into the hands of Faba and Paribas.
But he, Liang Baiheng, just can't bear this breath, if someone can help him go smoothly, even if he stays to work, he Liang Baiheng feels very comfortable.
This is the end of the story.
After Liu Ruoyi listened to Liang Baiheng's assurance, she was really relieved, with this guarantee, when she really won Peregrine, Liu Ruoyi's plan to prepare for a share of the listing frenzy of mainland giant leading central enterprises in the future is really a little eyebrow-raising.
With all his might, he saw that there was an opportunity to gently pull a big guy onto his chariot. Liu Ruoyi was still quite satisfied, and with such a mood, Liu Ruoyi agreed to Caitlin's request and decided to go to North America for a walk.
Being able to have the opportunity to circle a wave of fans and make a fortune in Hollywood's traditional turf, Liu Ruoyi still has a sense of accomplishment.
She also didn't expect her songs to have such popularity in foreign countries, and to be honest, in those Chinese songs of hers, many emotions are expressed by orientals, so in terms of adaptation, Liu Ruoyi agreed with Caitlin to do a considerable re-creation.
I didn't expect this album to achieve such outstanding results in North America.
"Annie, this is our Director of Sales, Mr. Connor, and in the past month's sales, Mr. Connor has traveled to every city in the United States with a population of more than a million people, bringing the songs of the Newsoul album to every TV station and radio station in those cities. ”
As soon as she saw Liu Ruoyi, Caitlyn immediately introduced the general in her hand to the other party, to be honest, although Caitlyn contributed a lot to the situation in front of her, but the real hero behind the scenes is still the unattractive Mr. Connor in front of her.
Unlike the pot-bellied poop Yankees that Liu Ruoyi is used to, Connor is not tall, at most 1.7 meters, and he has a thin body, the number of freckles on his face is at least twice as dense as that of ordinary Americans, and he is at least over 40 years old.
"Hello, Mr. Connor, great work!" Liu Ruoyi didn't expect Caitlyn to be so straight, and greeted Connor politely.
"Hello, Miss Annie, I have heard Miss Annie's songs, and I have long thought that Miss Annie should be an angel-like elf, but I didn't expect to see a real person, Miss Annie is even more beautiful than an angel!" Mr. Connor smiled like a pile of wrinkled sesame seeds.
"Thank you! Mr. Connor has won the prize. Liu Ruoyi didn't expect this crooked nut to have no bottom line like this, and this fart was so straight that she was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, Mr. Connor is still so straightforward. Caitlin was beside her, seeing that Liu Ruoyi's expression didn't look like she was being used, and hurriedly came out to play the round.
"Coming back to our topic today, Mr. Connor might as well tell us what our communications plans are going to look like in the future? ”
Caitlin gets the conversation to the point.
Speaking of the topic, Connor seemed to be a different person, and began to explain Liu Ruoyi's itinerary very seriously.
In Connor's plan, Liu Ruoyi will basically walk around the United States, and the well-known big cities will be strung together, and the journey will be very compact for a month, basically every day is not a short journey.
Liu Ruoyi looked at this scalp tightly, "I think this itinerary is too intensive?" Liu Ruoyi said helplessly.
"No, no, no, I missed a lot of potential markets in this arrangement, but Miss Caitlin told me that I could only do a month's trip at most, so I was forced to cut back on a lot of potential market publicity. Connor said earnestly.
"Mr. Connor, I'm not questioning your arrangement, but my itinerary will not take so long, I flew from Xiangjiang to the United States this time, and there are some other things to do, not only publicity, maybe Caitlin didn't communicate with you well, I'm not just an artist, but also a businessman. ”
Liu Ruoyi looked at this serious middle-aged uncle, and it was not good to dampen his enthusiasm, but this time her time really couldn't be wasted just on this publicity.
Although Liu Ruoyi is not too disgusted by these propaganda itself, she just feels that such a day trip to such a city is unnecessary and will not be too efficient.
"I think we need to choose some real potential markets," Liu continued.
"Now, is there a map of the geographical or urban distribution of album sales?"
"Yes, you see, this is the geographical distribution of sales over the past month. Connor was really a very professional sales director, and quickly called up a map of the sales city - this is an excel chart that Liu Ruoyi is very familiar with, in cities with large sales, the circle is also drawn large, so Liu Ruoyi sees his album very clearly In fact, the main sales areas are the two large regions.
One is the California urban agglomeration and the other is the New York metropolitan area, which together account for almost 60% of total sales.
Liu Ruoyi stood up and walked to the projection screen.
"I think the most important place to go is this, and here are the two areas!" Liu Ruoyi said, pointing to the two largest sales circles.
This line of thinking was very different from Connor's choice of route.
"Why?, Miss Annie, these are some of our very important areas, but they should be relatively saturated in terms of current sales volume, and shouldn't those with few sales deserve our attention?" Connor asked, puzzled.
"California, the San Francisco Bay Area alone, is a nearby urban agglomeration with a population of nearly 10 million, and nearly a million Chinese, right?" asked Liu Ruoyi.
"That's right," Connor nodded in agreement, though he didn't know how Liu Ruoyi knew the data.
"The New York Bay Area, if I'm not mistaken, has a population of more than 20 million, including a lot of Chinese and Asian. Liu Ruoyi continued.
"So in terms of our sales, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the people who buy my albums are also Chinese and Asian, right?"
Regarding the crowd covered by her album, Liu Ruoyi originally had some doubts about the sales volume in the North American market, which exceeded expectations, but after reading the geographical distribution map of sales volume made by Connor, she suddenly realized.
I like her songs, I'm afraid it's still mainly Chinese, Asian, these Asian ethnic groups, although the lyrics have been localized and recreated, but the melody and melody are still the foundation of oriental music.
Real fans of Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Asian Americans will probably hear it when they hear it, so there is no way to change it in this area.
However, for Liu Ruoyi, this is not a big problem, now that she has found her basic disk after releasing an English album, she will continue to work this basic disk, and transform these fans who have just entered the pit now, that is, the out-and-out fans of her new works in the future!
Although it is said that the formation of iron fans can not be achieved overnight, but with the current foundation, coupled with the way of holding fan meetings and even future concerts from time to time, Liu Ruoyi's iron fan group in North America will slowly form.
Therefore, for Liu Ruoyi, it is better to choose a few bases for deep cultivation than to cast a net all over the world, the total population of the two large regions exceeds more than 30 million, which is already a large market, and it is basically very good to stabilize these two regional markets.
North America's tolerance for piracy is almost zero, and this unique market characteristic made Liu Ruoyi's first album a big surprise.
