Chapter 132: The Dust Has Settled
The next day, Polygram responded and proposed two plans, the first plan was that Deng Lijun's contract would not be filed, and Wu Cheng's album would be released to Polygram with a licensing fee of two US dollars per album. The second plan is that Deng Lijun's contract is transferred, but Fenglong Records needs to pay Polygram a signing fee of 10 million US dollars, and Wu Cheng will hand over the overseas distribution rights of the album to Polygram to operate, and the licensing fee for each album is 0.5 US dollars.
As soon as Wu Cheng saw these two plans, he smiled directly, and asked Huang Zhan to send Li Qinsheng, who came to submit the plan, out of the door, and then said directly to Gu Jiahui: "Please come to Warner Records' business!"
Gu Jiahui looked at Wu Cheng's appearance, and said, "What's the matter, don't you talk to Polygram's people?"
Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "They can also think of such conditions, they want to go crazy for money, and they will cool them for a few days before they talk! Big deal, I won't change Miss Deng Lijun's contract!"
Gu Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and nodded: "It's best if you think like this! I'm really worried that you will hang yourself on a tree for the sake of your confidant! It is estimated that Polygram will put forward such a condition, I am afraid that you will not hesitate to pay a price for Miss Deng!"
Wu Cheng smiled: "If you sacrifice a little bit and you can get her contract back, then I won't worry about them for that little benefit." But the problem is, they are so insincere!"
Gu Jiahui nodded, then picked up the phone and asked someone to invite Warner Records' business in.
……
Li Qinsheng was sent out by Huang Zhan, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart, although he was from Polygram Records, he also understood that the conditions proposed by Polygram were indeed too harsh. Truth be told, there's no sincerity at all.
As long as Wu Cheng is not stupid, he will not agree to such conditions. Deng Lijun is indeed their cash cow, but the problem is that Deng Lijun's contract with Polygram has only more than a year left, less than a year and a half. When the time comes, she will definitely not stay in Polygram any longer.
When the time comes, as soon as Deng Lijun leaves, Polygram and Fenglong Records will have a bad relationship, and they will definitely not have a chance to get their hands on Deng Lijun's overseas distribution rights.
Wind Dragon Records is still very weak, and its overseas distribution capacity is simply not good. Even if Deng Lijun arrives in Fenglong, as long as Polygram can maintain friendly relations with Fenglong, they can still get a piece of the pie when Deng Lijun's records are released overseas in the future.
But now it's good...... I really don't know what PolyGram's top management thinks!
Is it really crazy to think about money?
When Li Qinsheng handed the news to the top management of Polygram Xiangjiang Branch, some shareholders laughed. Polygram's top management is not monolithic, some are inclined to cooperate with Wu Cheng, and some are unable to give up Deng Lijun's contract. Although they also knew that the conditions proposed by Wu Cheng were not harsh, they were reluctant to give up the interests in their hands.
In contrast, the interests of having Deng Lijun will be greater, and it is actually normal for them to be reluctant to give up. But the problem is that if Deng Lijun really wants to leave Polygram, they have no other way than to charge a certain amount of liquidated damages.
Seriously speaking, although the liquidated damages of Deng Lijun's contract are high, they are actually incomparable to the benefits that Wu Cheng can get from this album.
As long as Wu Cheng's album sells one million copies overseas, they can make about seven or eight million US dollars, think about the sales of Wu Cheng's album in Southeast Asia!
In Europe and the United States, as long as they buy five million copies, they will make a lot of money!
On the third and fourth days, seeing Wu Cheng approaching Warner Records, Columbia Records and other companies, talking very happily, Polygram finally became anxious.
On the fifth day, PolyGram's headquarters in the United Kingdom sent a vice president over, and also brought a very professional team of analysts to prepare for a commercial evaluation of Wu Cheng's album.
On the evening of the fifth day, Wu received a call from Feng Tianzhi, saying that Mr. Zhuowen, the vice president of their Polygram headquarters, had invited him to dinner and discussed the release of the album by the way.
Wu Cheng refused, and said, "I'm very sorry! I have already understood the sincerity of your Polygram." We are now in discussions with Warner and Columbia about a joint release. What do you think of Polygram's distribution capabilities in Europe and the United States compared to the combination of these two?"
When Feng Tianzhi heard this, he became anxious and said, "Mr. Wu, don't you want Miss Deng Lijun's contract?
Wu Cheng laughed and said, "Okay! Tell me about your conditions, and I'll compare them!"
Feng Tianzhi had no choice, and after consulting Mr. Wen, he said to Wu Cheng: "Mr. Wu, that's the case, Miss Deng Lijun's contract, we can give it up, but you need to pay 20 million Hong Kong dollars as a signing fee." Of course, for your album, we can give you a license fee of $1.5 for an album, and as for the price of the album in the future, we will set the price, how about it?"
Hearing this, Wu Cheng pondered, and it was obvious that they were not very optimistic about the sales of his pure music album, at least not as optimistic as he imagined. Otherwise, they would not have raised the licensing fee and asked him to pay a signing fee of 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
However, in comparison, this condition is much more sincere than before!
Wu Cheng pondered and said, "I can give the signing fee of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but in this case, the authorization fee will need to be 2.5 US dollars per piece." You know, Warner and Columbia gave me a license fee of five dollars a piece. After deducting the cost and publicity fee, I can get at least 40% of the profit share, who is more sincere than you?"
"Okay, we'll send someone over tomorrow to sign a contract with you!As for Miss Deng Lijun......
"In addition, I have to explain that the signing fee of 20 million Hong Kong dollars has to be deducted from the profits of my album, and if it is insufficient within three months, I will make up for it, how about it?"
Feng Tianzhi was silent, probably asking for instructions, and after a while, he said: "Okay! Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Happy cooperation!" After a pause, he said: "Actually, I am quite optimistic about Mr. Feng's talent, if you are interested, why don't you come to our Fenglong Records, I will give you a position as a deputy general manager, the treatment of a general manager, how about it?"
When Feng Tianzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a smile at the end: "Mr. Wu's love, Feng Mou understands it, I am quite happy in Baojinli, and I am not ready to change jobs!"
Wu Cheng smiled again, with a ****/puzzle, and said: "Does Mr. Feng know what the treatment of our general manager of Fenglong Records is? If you are willing to come over, I can have a high-end apartment and a high-end business car, and at the same time, I can also transfer five percent of the shares to you and give you five percent of the dry shares, are you willing to consider it?"
"Uh! Okay, I'll think about it!"
Feng Tianzhi felt that his throat was a little dry, and his heartbeat was a little abnormal. I have to say that the temptation/confusion given by Wu Cheng is quite big.
5% of the share transfer, plus 5% of the dry shares, that is 10% of the share dividend. If you add the year-end bonus, how much does you earn in a year?
Although Fenglong Records is not big now, it is normal to have Wu Cheng's album and assets of tens of millions. As long as he passes, he will directly give away 500,000 yuan, as well as a house and a car, this sincerity is not small!
can think of the 'brilliant two saints' of Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui in Fenglong Records, Feng Tianzhi retreated in his heart, with the two of them, Fenglong Records, is there still a place for him?
……
Two days later, Deng Lijun came from Baodao and signed a termination contract with Polygram, and at the same time, Wu Cheng also signed a contract with Polygram to give them the album "Piano Rhapsody" for release.
Then, Wu Cheng put Deng Lijun's contract in Tiancheng Agency, and if he wanted to release a record, he cooperated with Fenglong Records. And her itinerary is arranged by Tiancheng Brokerage Company.
Tiancheng Brokerage Company was able to invite a superstar like Deng Lijun, which became popular again in Xiangjiang.
Seeing this situation, many celebrities are a little interested in Tiancheng Brokerage Company, and it can even be said that they are ready to move. For example, there are many stars of the brokerage company today, and their income is also the most among the stars in the industry, because the commission of the Tiancheng brokerage company is the lowest.
Chen Shufen is also extremely excited about Deng Lijun's joining, no matter what, Deng Lijun is the best cash cow in Southeast Asia today.
But what Chen Shufen didn't expect was that Wu Cheng directly instructed her not to give Deng Lijun too many notices, and to ensure that her rest time was enough, just two or three times a month.
This made Chen Shufen very puzzled, why did he dig a cash cow back after all the hard work, but did not use it? Who would do such a stupid thing?
But Wu Cheng did it!
first Zhao Yazhi, then Lin Qingxia, and now Deng Lijun...... What the hell is he trying to do?
Wu Cheng ignored Chen Shufen's grievances, took Deng Lijun, and returned to Repulse Bay Villa.
As soon as he entered the door, Deng Lijun hugged Wu Cheng directly and gave Wu Cheng an affectionate wet kiss.
At the end of the kiss, the two hugged each other and fell into the sofa, Deng Lijun stroked Wu Cheng's face, with excitement and excitement, and said: "I really didn't expect that after just over a year, I signed in to your company." You're a trustworthy little man!"
Wu Cheng smiled slightly, opened his mouth and bit the jade finger that swept her lips, and said with a smile: "Do you think that happiness came too suddenly, something is not real?"
"Well, my current mood is hard to describe, a little excited, a little excited, and a little apprehensive, like a dream, I'm afraid that I will wake up after a while and find that this is really a dream!"
"Actually, you can think of this as a dream!"
"What do you mean?" she asked.
Wu Cheng smiled and whispered in her ear: "Because in the dream, we can do something shameful!
