Chapter 54: The Mysterious Visitor
Jiayi Records was created by Zhao Mingcheng brick by brick, except for a little network accumulated as an entertainment editor in Huadu, there is no background at all, so for so many years, it has relied on making some money that is not in the stream but wants to enter the entertainment industry, for example, one of the company's major businesses is to produce on behalf of others, as long as 300,000, help you record an album with a release number, and release 3,000 records, sometimes this business can account for one-third of the company's revenue.
The part of the record business released by himself is mainly to find some third-rate or potential young people, make a few films a year, and make them popular in two or three years by picking up leaks, such as the newcomer Chen Yao's "Ming Shui Yao" sold 250,000 copies the year before last, and on average, he could barely earn about two million a year.
If it weren't for Zhao Mingcheng's extremely strict control of funds, Liu Ruoyi's project would have been tossed like this, and the company's cash flow would have been in trouble.
Chen Xin saw the boss shaking his head, and he knew that he was a little whimsical, where are overseas channels so easy to develop, Jiayi Records is now a small earthworm in the mainland, where is it qualified to go to Xiangjiang, Baodao and Polygram, Rolling Stone, these giants are hard-standing, to put it mildly, Jiayi Records can't even pay the entrance fee to knock on the door.
"Then we can only consider terminating the contract. Chen Xin sighed, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he was unwilling to give up this extremely excellent album in his hand.
"There's no way, it's just like this, Chen Xin, don't feel too pressured, you don't have anything wrong in this matter, you can even say that there is only credit, it can only be said that it is providence, a good opportunity for Jiayi to rise to the top, but let Liu Ruoyi's wonderful father ruin it. Zhao Mingcheng saw Chen Xin's gloomy face, and hurriedly comforted him, Jiayi is not big, and he can leave Chen Xin, a business backbone who is willing to work hard and has brains, and now it basically depends on Zhao Mingcheng's own feelings.
"I'm fine, boss, if there are no other instructions, I'll go out and prepare to draft the termination contract. Chen Xin saw that there was nothing to say, and was ready to go back to do things.
Hundreds of thousands a year doesn't seem to be much for an artist, but for a company like Jiayi, even a business backbone like Chen Xin has not yet received an annual salary of 100,000, let alone most employees. Therefore, since Liu Ruoyi, the great god, can't make money, there is no need to raise it.
"Knock knock", Chen Xin hadn't left yet, Wen Yufei, the front desk and administrative secretary, knocked on the door, "Boss, there is a guest named Luo Can outside, who said that he was from Rolling Stone, and wants to meet and talk to you?"
"I don't see!" Zhao Mingcheng was upset and blurted out to refuse, but Chen Xin's ears were sharp, "Xiaowen, wait, the guest you said claimed to be Rolling Stone Luo Can?"
"That's right. Wen Yufei replied, and then looked at the boss with some doubts, obviously asking if he could refuse.
"Boss, you still have to see this person," Chen Xin turned to Zhao Mingcheng and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this person is Luo Can, who is in charge of the artist introduction of Rolling Stone Records." ”
Zhao Mingcheng chuckled in his heart, "You mean..." suddenly gave birth to hope in his heart, but this hope seemed so slim.
"Mr. Yoro go to the VIP room and make another pot of my Ming Qian Longjing. Zhao Mingcheng said decisively, but how slim the chance is, if it is really missed in vain, then he will cry to death.
Wen Yufei was stunned, Zhao Mingcheng's Ming Qian Longjing is a can, usually precious, except for the distinguished guests, he is reluctant to drink, today's visiting guests are sacred, and they are fortunate to drink Zhao Zong's Ming Qian Longjing.
"Go quickly, don't neglect the guests!" Seeing Wen Yufei in a daze, Zhao Mingcheng commanded.
"Chen Xin, you can also listen to this matter. After instructing Wen Yufei, Zhao Mingcheng also called Chen Xin.
Chen Xin reminded him just now, obviously guessing about the intention of this uninvited guest, and what is even more rare is that Chen Xin knows much more about all the bigwigs in the entertainment industry than his own boss, like he heard Luo Can's name clearly just now, but he didn't react at all, because he had no concept at all, and Chen Xin did, it was better to have Chen Xin present in this matter.
"Okay, boss, if the person is right, I think the company should at least lose money this time. Chen Xin said with some excitement. "It's just that boss, how much price is appropriate in your mind, you can think about it first. ”
If it is the big supervisor in charge of artist introduction of Rolling Stone Records, he knows who he is coming at with his feet, except for Liu Ruoyi, none of the singers signed by Jiayi Records are worthy of Rolling Stone Records. Therefore, Chen Xin's prompt just now, Zhao Mingcheng immediately understood.
Do you knock on the bamboo pole or accept it when you see it? Zhao Mingcheng kept two voices clashing in his head until he walked into the VIP room.
In the VIP room, a middle-aged man with a haircut and a dark Versace shirt saw someone coming, smiled and got up towards Zhao Mingcheng.
"Hello, hello! Welcome to Mr. Luo!Please sit!Please sit!"Seeing that Luo Can was already sitting on the sofa in the VIP room, Zhao Mingcheng stretched out his hand enthusiastically as soon as he came in, "I'm Jiayi Zhao Mingcheng, my brother just had something to deal with, I'm really embarrassed, I neglected the distinguished guest!"
Luo Can stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhao Mingcheng warmly and responded, "Where! Mr. Zhao has every opportunity, and the haste in which his brother came is really disturbing! Who is this?"
Chen Xin hurriedly took out his business card, "Little brother Chen Xin, Jiayi record business, please give me more advice!"
"It turned out to be Director Chen, not bad, young and promising, with a unique vision!" Luo Can took the business card and praised.
"Mr. Luo, please sit! Please sit!" Zhao Mingcheng and Chen Xin's eyes intertwined, the other party really came prepared, both of them are human spirits, don't look at Luo Can's seemingly casual praise, this is not without purpose.
"Mr. Luo can come to my Jiayi today, it really makes the small shop shine, this pot of Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, it is said to come from the old tea tree of Hugong Temple in Shifeng Mountain, Mr. Luo tastes whether it is authentic?" Zhao Mingcheng picked up the purple clay pot and poured it into three white porcelain teacups as white as jade and bright as a mirror in Jingdezhen like a dragonfly, only to see that the tea soup was emerald green, slightly yellow in color, and a fragrance overflowed.
"Good tea! Mr. Zhao's pot of Longjing before the rain is really authentic, this is the legendary brown beige," I didn't expect Luo Can to also study the tea ceremony, and he actually saw the root of Zhao Mingcheng's pot of treasure Longjing before the rain, and after speaking, he picked up the teacup and sniffed it, and then took a sip gently, "It's really good tea!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Luo likes it!" Zhao Mingcheng met a fellow practitioner, as if he was being disturbed to the itch, and his expression was extremely happy, but today is obviously not the time for everyone to discuss the tea ceremony.
"I don't know if Mr. Luo came to Jiayi, what do you think?" After the greetings, Zhao Mingcheng changed the topic and entered the topic, although he seemed a little anxious.
