"Clive, Barry, I believe in your vision and support your TEEN-POP music project, and we have to think not only about Europe and the United States, but also about the world.
So, I have a plan here, I want to complete the global layout of the record label, and I hope to set up our branches in Japan and Hong Kong in Asia.
I think you all should know that the world's major record companies have already deployed or even completed their global layout, such as Warner, Columbia, Universal, etc., and have branches all over Asia. Obviously, we're lagging behind when it comes to making Jive the world's biggest record label.
You may not know who I am, either I don't do it, or I want to be one of the best, I hope we Jive can catch up, what do you think?" In the company conference room, Li Feng proposed his plan to the Chinese people.
Listening to Li Feng's words, the expressions of the people sitting there were different.
For example, as the CEO, Barryvis is excited, after all, the company has developed, as the CEO is naturally supportive, Jay-z is eager to try, while Clive Calder shareholders are a little moved but hesitant.
Obviously, both Clive and Simon know in their hearts what the outcome of Li Feng's request as a major shareholder will be rejected by themselves, and they are also very excited about Li Feng's proposal to become a world-class large record company. After all, the company develops, the more valuable the shares in your hands will be, isn't it?
……
"Boss, do you have a plan?" Jay-z asked after seeing that the scene was a little quiet, but he broke the silence.
In fact, one of the reasons why Jay-z is willing to join the company as a singer and shareholder is that Barry Diller said when he first talked about the acquisition, hoping that Jive will develop into a world-class large record label, which is why Jay-z is eager to try it when he hears Li Feng's words.
"You have to look at this information first, this is the information about the record company that my investment company in Hong Kong is looking for about the development of a media group. ”
Li Feng did not come empty-handed, and before he came, he asked for a copy of the information he had collected about Hong Kong's media, including the possibility of the development of record companies in the future expansion of media groups.
"BOSS, you mean the media group is going to expand in Asia as well, right?"
Barryvis heard from Li Feng's words that his boss is not just a record company, but there is a whole media group that needs to be developed, and it is obvious that people have been prepared for a long time.
"Boss, according to what you described above, this Huaxing Record is about to go out of business, what is the development of our acquisition?"
"Haha, first of all, Huaxing has a historical background, Hong Kong and even the development of the discourse music scene, Huaxing has played a huge role in it, which is the reason why I value it, and there are some outstanding singers among them.
Such a record company with a background but a cheap record company is the best opportunity for us to become the owner, otherwise it will be too difficult to set up a branch directly, and then develop slowly and compete with others for the market.
As for the development problem, after Huaxing starts, our media group will also follow up, including media, film, television, etc., and I am afraid that there will be no development opportunities at that time. ”
……
To be honest, when Li Feng got the information collected by the media group about Hong Kong entertainment media, Li Feng set the first target of the record company's Hong Kong acquisition on Huaxing Records.
First, the acquisition of Huaxing now costs tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars at most, that is to say, millions of dollars, cheap.
The second is that Huaxing has a background, and most people in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong need to give Huaxing a little face, after all, the original Huaxing came with TVB.
Li Feng, who is familiar with the history of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, knows very well that more than half of the big names in the Hong Kong entertainment industry today came out of TVB, and the same is true for singers, many of whom started their debut from Huaxing.
In addition to this historical background, there is also the information of Huaxing's current singers obtained from Li Feng, Li Feng has seen many familiar names, such as Xu Zhi'an, Eason Chan, Yang Qianye, etc., these names are all famous.
Of course, in this era, in addition to Xu Zhi'an being a little famous, both Eason Chan and Yang Qianye are fledgling and unpopular characters.
In addition to these, Huaxing's management is actually quite good, they all have deep connections in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and their own good management skills, as for the record company, in fact, they can't be blamed, as long as TVB and the current backstage boss are not strong.
……
After listening to Li Feng's introduction, the Chinese people were also relieved, and thinking about it, Li Feng's media group is not a cat and a dog, but an emerging large-scale media group.
If there is such a large media group as the background, the development after the acquisition of Huaxing does not seem to be too difficult, and there are too many resources to share.
"As for Japan, I don't know if you've heard of Japan's Avex Records, my target is him, recently I've been asking someone to collect relevant information, I just know a little bit, this company is a private company, there is no big background, it is easier to be acquired. ”
After meeting Ayumi Hamasaki yesterday, Li Feng looked up a little information about Ayumi Hamasaki and Ai Hui Records, but there is still very little information on the Internet today, and it is difficult to find useful information.
"Another point is that we are a media conglomerate in the United States, and we have a natural advantage in spreading culture all over the world, and I hope that you can work together to develop Jive into a truly world-class record label, a company that is as famous as Universal, Warner, Columbia, Polygram, etc. ”
At this time, everyone was a little persuaded and infected by Li Feng, and they all hoped that the record company could really become one of the industry giants as Li Feng said, and at that time, everyone was not ordinary.
"So what do you need us to do next?" asked Barryves, speaking to Li Feng on behalf of Jive.
"In this way, since it is the record company that expands first, I will leave the acquisition of Hong Kong Huaxing to you, don't worry, I will let the investment department in Hong Kong cooperate with you.
At the same time, there is also a brokerage company to cooperate with you, and I will ask Michael Ovitz to cooperate with you, and directly set up a brokerage company with the artists in Huaxing as the team after acquiring Huaxing Records.
There is also Japan's Ai Hui Record Company, which you need to talk about and collect by yourself, and I just want the results. ”
……
After listening to Li Feng's words, several shareholders were completely relieved, and they were still a little worried that if Li Feng used the name of the media group to acquire, then as soon as several record companies merged, wouldn't their shares be diluted.
Now I can rest assured, I don't need to dilute my shares, after all, if it can really be completed according to Li Feng's plan, the shares of each point of the record company at that time will be a very large wealth, but Li Feng is the controlling shareholder, so they can't be nervous.
After the important matters were discussed, everyone chatted happily, talked about the company's future development plan, talked about life, and the day passed.
Li Feng was still thinking about how the media group could enter Hong Kong, although he had considered it before, but he always felt that there was still a bit of a problem, and this time he really opened an opening for his media group's entry.
With the acquisition of Huaxing as the entrance, it is a good opportunity to enter the Hong Kong, Japan and even the whole Asian market. As for whether there will be problems with the acquisition of Huaxing, Li Feng is not worried.
According to the information collected, Huaxing no longer belongs to TVB, and was acquired last year, that is, in 96.
After that, there were rumors that it was going to be sold again, although it was denied by the general manager, but according to the information, it was not groundless, and the SCMP (South China Morning Post) group did have the intention of selling, mainly because Huaxing was going downhill, resulting in serious losses.
