Chapter 120: Meeting
After making a few phone calls, taking the car past the security booth to the door of the AWM building, An Yuxi walked straight in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, it is already off-duty time, as a new company, in response to some "problems" in the Korean workplace, An Yuxi has made some clear regulations, such as: non-essential overtime is not encouraged, the department must have a supervisor present for overtime, overtime has overtime pay, etc.
Therefore, at this point now, except for a few departments that need to work overtime, the others are basically off work, and naturally no one welcomes An Yuxi, the president of the conference who has returned from thousands of miles across the ocean.
Of course, there are still people!
AWM Music's CEO Kim Jong Myung was waiting in the office early in the morning,
"Brother Zhengming, you're back. Have you had dinner?" Ahn Woo-seo greeted Kim Jong-myung with a smile.
"President...... Eaten. Kim Jong Myung rolled his eyes, you snatched all my lines, what should I say!
"It's good to eat, I haven't eaten yet, so there's no need to be polite in front of me, hey! Don't stand, how tired it is to stand! Haojing, bring me a bottle of ice spring, it's in that Xiaoice box, do you want to drink?" An Yuxi sat on the boss's chair and began to point fingers.
It was not too hot on such a hot day, and Li Haojing, who was dressed in black and long legs, did not have the slightest impatience, and hurriedly went to the refrigerator to get a drink.
"Bring me a bottle of Coca-Cola!" Kim Jung-wook, who was used to Ahn Woo-shi's appearance, found a stool and sat down and raised his hand and said.
"I'm sorry, there is no Coke, it is American, but there is a very Coke!" An Yuxi refused without hesitation.
"Uh...... That's very coke!" This is embarrassing, the big boss is so casual, Jin Zhengxu feels a little restless.
"I'll just have a bottle of ice spring, room temperature!" Kim Jong-myung also looked for a place to sit down.
"It's a pity that Nana is off work, otherwise she can drink tea!" An Yuxi misses his beautiful secretary a little, uh, isn't it...... It's missing the tea she makes.
"Haojing, you can drink it yourself. ”
"Okay!"
"Let's start!" After taking a sip of the cold Jeju Island Ice Spring, An Yuxi only felt that the pores of his whole body were comfortable, and then gestured to Kim Jong-myung, who was ready after drinking the water.
"Well, okay!" In the past month in the United States, Kim Jong-myung has not been idle, and has been staying in Tokyo to discuss cooperation with Sony Music Tokyo, and this time he is here to report work.
At present, the four singers launched by AWM Music have all achieved great success in South Korea, especially BIGBang, which has been fermented for a month, "Lies" The toxic melody spread through the streets of South Korea at an astonishing rate, and in just two months of selling the single, AWM Music sold hundreds of thousands of physical DVDs (including the music video for the single, and the unreleased part of the debut record, as well as some reshoots, which were actually sold at the price of a mini-record), and it performed extremely well on AWM.Melon's online music source website.
So far, the number of digital single sales announced by the Recording Industry Association, "Lies" topped the list with 1.5 million downloads and more than 2.6 million mobile subscriptions (RBT).
The success of TVXQ last year made Ai Hui a lot of money, and the Japanese music industry can no longer ignore the growing influence of the Korean wave, and many record distribution companies, including Sony, have set their sights on Korean boy bands, hoping to dig up the next TVXQ.
Bigbang obviously has such potential, and this month, AWM Music and Sony Music have moved from the initial intention to contact and turn into formal negotiations - not only Bigbang's future debut cooperation in Japan, Sony Music also wants to win the rights to represent all AWM Music's future artists in Japan.
"This negotiation is more troublesome, and Sony means that in order to ensure the cooperation between the two parties, they want to invest in the board of directors of AWM Music. ”
An Yuxi also knows some of these things, and in the past month, even if most of his energy is focused on Facebook and Skymap, he can't ignore AWM, and a week ago he held a conference call to listen to reports from various departments.
However, he had just heard about the negotiation conditions proposed by Sony, and after pondering for a while, he looked at Kim Jong-myung: "What do you mean?"
"I personally agree with deepening cooperation, after all, if we want to open up overseas markets, we need the support of local forces...... But Sony wants to participate in ......" Speaking of this, Kim Jong-myung was a little hesitant, what he hesitated was not the shareholding itself, it was a matter of course for the industry to cooperate with each other to hold shares, just like "S.M" and Ai Hui, they also held shares with each other to maintain the alliance.
An Yuxi thought for a while, and then understood what he was hesitating about, and asked, "How much do they offer?"
"$20 million...... Kim Jong Myung replied, then adding: "Buy 10% of AWM Music." ”
"Heh!" An Yuxi smiled and didn't say anything more, but Kim Zhengming, who had followed him for several years, immediately understood what he meant-this matter is yellow.
However, Kim Jong-myung also understands that it is impossible for An Woo to agree to this condition, 20 million a few months ago, may indeed be enough for 10% of AWM Music's shares, the valuation given by some institutions in South Korea at the beginning, the full value of AWM Music, only those music source copyrights, they are worth 200 billion won. But now, with Baek Ji-young, Boa and Bigbang, AWM Music's market capitalization has far exceeded it.
Not to mention anything else, Bigbang's "Lies" single DVD has not made much money due to the recording of music videos and the release of DVD formats, but it has generated more than 14 billion won in revenue for AWM Music in a few months, thanks to vertical sales methods such as AWM.Melon downloads and mobile subscription services after Melon opened interfaces.
Converted to about $17 million, this part of the net profit is due to the fact that the cost is almost zero, plus other revenues such as merchandise sales, announcement fees, TV programs, and radio on-demand, even if it is divided equally with YG, AWM Music has generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue in the two months after the launch of Bigbang.
With such a combination in hand, $20 million is a bit dismissive even for Kim Jong-myung.
It's just that Kim Jong Myung is still a little regretful, AWM Music has no roots overseas, Sony is the most ideal partner so far, if it can't be negotiated, then AWM Music's overseas expansion, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
After thinking about it, he was about to speak, but An Yuxi, who was in the back seat, waved his hand: "Work matters, let's talk about it in detail tomorrow!"
“…… Yes, President!" Kim Jung-wook knew a little about the mission of returning to China, and while bowing his head, he glanced at Ahn Woo-seo, a young man in his early 30s who was sitting next to Ahn Woo-seo, without saying a word.
Before, he had never taken this person seriously, but since An Yuxi's series of actions in the United States were reported, no one in AWM dared to ignore this young man.
The influence of Skymap will prompt the AWM network he presides over to be at the core of the AWM Group in the future! Kim Jung-wook himself may also enter the absolute high-level sequence of the future group company.
These days, Kim Jong-myung has recalled many times, reflecting on whether he had offended Kim Jung-wook before, but fortunately, the final result was neither good nor bad, he rarely paid attention to this person before, therefore, the relationship between the two sides is still in an ordinary stage, and the most they can do when they meet is to nod and say hello, and they have not talked deeply, so naturally they can't say that they are good or bad.
…… In the future, it is time to contact more feelings......
He thought.
"Is there anything else, if there is nothing else, I have something to go, notify the departments of the meeting tomorrow afternoon! Okay, everyone is gone, I'm going to eat!"
"Uh, alright!" the group was used to.
"Brother Zhengming, Zhengxu, thank you for your hard work, let you pick me up after work!"
"It's okay, you go first!"
"Well, there is no need to tidy up the office, let Jin Nana get it tomorrow! I won't accompany you, let's go!" An Yuxi immediately got up, beckoned, and left without looking back, and Li Haojing, who was a bodyguard, silently followed.
Kim Jung-myung, Kim Jung-wook: "......!" We definitely don't have the idea of tidying up your office!
Silently watching the boss snatch the door away, the two management who were not strangers looked at each other, and then smiled in unison.
"Let's go too!" Kim Jong-myung was the first to stand up, smiling and stretching out his hand to Kim Jung-wook.
"Yes!"
