The next morning, the security guards of three women and two men were already in place, but the villa was actually very small, and they were on duty to guard it.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the CEO of RCA and Dedmon came to visit the villa, and after greetings, Peterson immediately presented a contract.

Zhuo Lan carefully looked at this contract, the time limit is five years, the division has reached five or five, and at the same time, there is an opportunity to participate in the entertainment show every year, and the company will mainly promote Zhuo Lan's three singles or albums.

"Zhuo, the company will promote your singles and albums next, and the company will launch you as the best resource, which is different from you going to other companies and competing for resources with other A-list stars, and the division is five or five, which is unprecedentedly generous. ”

Dedmon set these conditions out in the hope of luring Zoran to make a decision.

"Dedmon, you know, even if the share of companies such as Universal is only four or six kai, it may be higher than the five or five kai of this contract, after all, the distribution channels are different,"

Zoran nodded at this, and Dedmon was immediately speechless, which could not be denied.

"I don't really value that, you can see that I have rented a villa here, so I am not short of money, but I want the contract to be fair and reasonable, so I hope we can be open and honest,"

"Zhuo, what you said makes a lot of sense,"

Peterson nodded, of course it makes sense, this is New York, a place where every inch of land is expensive, whether it is buying or renting a house, it is extremely expensive, Zhuo Lan did not rent an apartment, but rented a villa, obviously there is no lack of financial resources, if necessary, he does not doubt that Zhuo Lan can buy a residence,

You must know that in addition to paying Zhuo Lan a signing fee of 100,000 US dollars when signing the contract, RCA has not paid Zhuo Lan any revenue share so far, because the share of the record listing is still on the way.

The release price of this single is only 4.5 US dollars, and the gross profit after removing the cost is 4 US dollars, and now more than 900,000 copies have been sold, and the gross profit is more than 3 million US dollars, which goes to the company's taxes, and then 73 percent goes to Zhuo Lan's hands, which is 6.7 million US dollars, and then goes to pay taxes personally, Zhuo Lan can only have 400,000 US dollars.

Therefore, Zhuo Lan's current expenses are all her original funds, and it is safe to say that she is the most financially powerful of the new singers signed by RCA, and she is not bad for money.

"We're here to listen to you,"

Peterson knew the company was in a bad position, so he put his posture very low.

Zhuo Lan felt unprecedentedly happy in her heart, after all, she had felt the contempt within the company in the past few months, and it was of course very refreshing to be able to reverse it today.

"Peter, you are clear, I used to be not very pleasant in the company, I was despised and even insulted by several people, what do you say,"

Zhuo Lan saw that the other party wanted to avoid the important and light, but she would not let it go, this is the premise of signing the contract, if this problem is not solved, there is no need to sign this contract.

"Well, you'll see the scene below, Max will leave and Ennis will be demoted, I think you're happy with our sincerity,"

Peterson still wants to protect these two people, especially Max, after all, it was for the benefit of the company that he offended Zhuolan, but now it seems that Zhuolan has a great grudge, and this matter has become the premise of Zhuolan's contract, so Max can only be sacrificed.

"I'm satisfied, but the contract has to be renewed after they've been punished,"

Zhuo Lan expressed very clearly, she would not have signed without seeing that scene.

"Okay, I agree,"

Peterson was speechless, what a resentment this was, well, women really can't be offended.

"Then I have a request, my online download fee can't be divided into five or five, six or four shares, I have six companies and four,"

Zhuolan made a new request, Peterson was stunned, and then he thought about it, there is a company operating this, as if Universal is doing this work, and Apple has also sent people to lobby the company, and online download payment is likely to become a reality.

However, all the companies are not optimistic about the income of this piece, after all, after market research, the current network speed and computer hardware are not ideal, the effect of listening to songs online is far less than the album in the physical store, and the effect is not good, how many people can download songs from the night, so the income is really not much, and it can even be said that it will be very pitiful, this piece seems to be no need to fight for it, why not make a concession so that Zhuolan can sign a contract smoothly,

"Okay, that's what the company promises you,"

"Thank you,"

Zhuo Lan smiled, in fact, she didn't know why Han Zhifeng asked her to sign like this, but she only listened to Han Zhifeng in this regard, after all, he was an expert in the Internet field.

"The company also has a requirement, I hope that your new songs in the future must have songs written by Doctor Han,"

Peterson insisted on this, and after the company's internal evaluation, Zhuolan's sudden rise this time, how could Zhuolan and Han's roles score five or five points, each accounting for half, if there was no Han's new song, Peterson was really not at ease about signing the contract.

"Of course, I only sing songs written by Han, and I'm not interested in other people's songs,"

Zhuo Lan immediately agreed.

"So can the company invite Han to write songs for other singers in the company?"

Since the conversation was good, Peterson asked tentatively.

"It's impossible, he'll just write songs for me, don't say anything to pay him well or anything, he's really not bad for money,"

Zhuo Lan shook his head and refused, Han Zhifeng may not be tempted by the tens of thousands paid by the company, it is absolutely impossible.

Peterson has already learned some information about Han Zhifeng from Dedmon, and a few bodyguards are with him, such a Chinese person will not be tempted even if it is hundreds of thousands of dollars, it seems that there is no hope.

Three days later, Max resigned from RCA, and this setback in his career was only to belittle and provoke a Chinese singer, which he did not expect at all, but he could only bear it himself.

Then, Zhuolan signed a five-year contract with RCA, with a signing fee of $1 million and liquidated damages rising to $8 million, tied with other A-list singers, making her the first Asian singer to have a top-tier contract.

Han Zhifeng did not stay in New York, but returned to Irvine City, because Lu Xining flew back from China to handle some of his own personal affairs, and at the same time familiarize himself with the situation of American companies, and report to Han Zhifeng by the way.

Before Joshua Han's return, he had returned home to take care of his personal affairs, and now he has returned to Irvine City.

"Now Chifeng has been promoting Yongxin for a month, Li Feng and Mr. Li's feedback has a certain effect, the growth rate in the past month was in the early 10 percent, and the growth rate last month has increased by about four to five percentage points, and the initial success. ”

Yongxin's own plan has also been launched, and now 28 stores have been acquired, and it is estimated that 50 to 60 stores will be acquired by the end of the year, but at that time, it is estimated that the funds will encounter a bottleneck. ”

"This is Mr. Li's official report to you,"

Lu Xining handed Han Zhifeng a sealed and complete folder.

"This is Gao Yu's official report to you,"

Joshua Han received another sealed report.

Han Zhifeng did Lu Xining communicate with the contact of various companies, supervise the company's business promotion, and the completion of profits played a key role, even if he was in the field these days, but he could still know the situation of each company well.

Han Zhifeng took a quick look at it, Yongxin's performance report for the first half of the year has come out, sales increased by 17.6% year-on-year, and profits increased by 19.1% in the first half of the year.

Gao Yu's report shows that the cooperation with mobile is very smooth, and the business of various mobile Montnets has been rolled out one after another, with a monthly income of more than two million in one and a half months, and Chifeng has begun to make a profit since last month, although with some advertising revenue, personnel expenses, marketing expenses and other expenses, it is only more than 700,000 profits, but from now on, the normal operation of Chifeng does not need him to continue to fill, and with the winning of the bid of Gao Yu's team in some provinces, new business will continue to come soon, and profits will continue to rise.

The business development of these two companies makes Han Zhifeng very satisfied.

"Boss, there is a problem now, that is, we have encountered a lot of difficulties in cultivating our company's game production talents, they have limited vision and technology in China, and we have not established strategic partnerships with some companies when we go abroad, so it is difficult to find opportunities to enter the game production industry and improve their standards,"

This problem is the most headache, and there is also the fact that if some games are acquired across borders, there are not enough professionals who are familiar with foreign games and domestic conditions, and they cannot complete the task of cross-border acquisition well, which ultimately affects the final establishment of a complete set of teams for the production, operation and maintenance of the company's games.

Han Zhifeng was puzzled for a long time, and suddenly remembered one thing, where is he, in Irvine City, then Blizzard should not forget, if you don't make full use of Blizzard, it will be a waste.

Blizzard's Warcraft franchise has made it the most well-known game film and television company in the world.

Founded in the early 90s, the game company rose to prominence with Warcraft games under the auspices of founders Mo Huaimi and Adhan, and has accumulated a large number of fans and huge amounts of money for three consecutive game hits.

The online game World of Warcraft, Blizzard's transformation, should be in the making, and this game will also be a popular game all over the world, and it will finally bring Blizzard into the position of the most profitable online game company, and it is this game that Han Zhifeng is eyeing.

"Blizzard,"

As an American, Lu Xining is no stranger to this company.

'It's like they're a console game, I haven't heard them switch to online games,'

"Exact news, they've already started to make it. ”

Han Zhifeng said firmly.

"That's good news, if we can negotiate with them to represent the distribution of Warcraft games in China, we can take advantage of the opportunity of the game's Huaxia to be deeply involved in the development stage, which will be very beneficial for our company to form its own development force and maintenance team for large-scale games,"

Lu Xining was not slow to respond, and immediately thought of the side that was extremely beneficial to Blazing Feng.

Han Zhifeng nodded, this Lu Xining really understood it at all.

Two days later, Blizzard in Irvine City came with two guests from the East.

Blizzard's CEO Mo Huaimi was a little surprised to meet with Han Zhifeng and Lu Xining in his office.

"I'm sorry, please forgive my surprise, after all, your country has not completely opened up the game market, so I didn't expect to meet the guests from Huaxia. ”

"Thank you for meeting, in fact, our country has begun to gradually open up the game market, and I came this time for your online games,"

Han Zhifeng said.

"Oh, you know the news well enough and know enough about our company,"

Mo Huaimi was even more surprised, because they decided to switch to the online version of the game is a matter of a few months, and there is no fanfare, this is the decision of him and Adhan, in their opinion, the future will be the era of online games, the popularity of personal computers in the United States and the rapid development of Internet speed and computer hardware have determined that online games are the main profit point, and Warcraft will have no future without developing online games.

But this decision is not long, how can the Chinese people know.

'That's right, we at Huaxia Chifeng Company are interested in introducing your company's version of the online game,'

Lu Xining said.

"I'm afraid it's not going to work, because our game production cycle has just begun, and I'm afraid it's still early before it goes to market. ”

Mo Huaimi refused, he didn't know anything about this blazing company, of course Blizzard would not forget the Huaxia market, but the total number of private computers there is very small, and most of them are old models, such conditions are not suitable for the introduction of the 3D game World of Warcraft.

Of course, if the game is mature in two or three years, there may be a big change in the situation in Huaxia, and it seems a little early to talk about this now.

"Mr. Mo Huaimi, you are right, it's still early, that's why we're here, we want to participate in the early production of your company and accelerate the process of the game's Huaxia, so that the goal is to be able to launch the game in Huaxia at the same time as it is released globally,"

Lu Xining's words touched Mo Huaimi, this is indeed a good suggestion, if Huaxia Company is deeply involved, it can indeed have a better integration effect in Huaxia.

"To be honest, I was impressed by your suggestion, but I'm not sure if your company has the ability to participate in the distribution, knowing that this is an online game, not an ordinary commodity, and I've never heard of Blazing Blade,"

Mo Huaimi shrugged.

This is normal, he is not the rookie who first set foot in the mall ten years ago, and now he does not see rabbits and eagles, and a good suggestion cannot impress him to make a decision.

"This is the introduction of our company,"

Lu Xining took out the brochure of Blazing Feng Company,

"Let me make an analogy, we are Huaxia's ICQ company, so you can understand,"

"Oh, instant messaging companies, also Internet companies,"

Mo Huaimi nodded.

"Yes, a little different from ICQ is that we occupy 97% of the market in China, and now the number of registered users has just exceeded 10 million. ”

Lu Xining's words finally moved Mo Huaimi.

Occupying more than 90 percent of any market is a de facto monopoly, and such a company cannot but be said to be a suitable partner.

"Okay, we'll think about it,"

Mo Huaimi finally showed his tone,

"But first of all, we have to say that the agency fee this time will be huge, and there is also the consideration of sharing, can you really accept such conditions?"

Mo Huaimi is also testing the other party, if the other party is scared away by his words, it means that the company's strength is limited, and it is not a suitable partner at all, if not, then continue to contact.

"Huge amount, there must be a limit, in the United States related industry 10 million dollars is a huge amount, I don't know what range your company's huge amount refers to,'

When it comes to the specific amount, Han Zhifeng finally spoke up.

"Adhan and I agreed that more than $50 million is the basis for negotiations, otherwise I don't think we meet our basic requirements, which of course includes the price of a large number of servers,"

Mo Huaimi's lion opened his mouth to startle Lu Xining, as if this agency fee was too big, as if there was no one before, did Mo Huaimi and Adhan really think so, or were they blackmailing, Lu Xining was not sure, he looked at Han Zhifeng.

Han Zhifeng is not surprised at all, because in the previous life, there was a domestic online game company that acted as an agent for World of Warcraft, and it is said that it spent six or seven million US dollars to buy servers and other expenses, and also paid Blizzard nearly thirty percent of the sales share, which is a huge price, so to speak, Mo Huaimi is not only an outstanding game creator, but also a shrewd and greedy CEO, just now said that there is no idea of entering Huaxia, and now there is a basic agency fee, to say that there is no coveting the Huaxia market, who believes, but Han Zhifeng did not intend to pay such a big price。

"This price is too high, obviously, you are not very sincere to talk about this issue, we hope it is a very suitable price, after all, if you cooperate with our company, it will make the World of Warcraft in Huaxia smoothly rollout, after all, our company's user scale is there, if we want to promote World of Warcraft, then we can do it so that the players in Huaxia know the news within three days, and if your company chooses a small company to operate this game, it is obvious that the sales they have achieved are not comparable to our blazing edge, ”

Joshua Han immediately stated his position, the huge customer resources of Blazing Edge are not comparable to ordinary small game companies, and Blazing Frontier can quickly roll out this game.

"I suggest we put this discussion on hold and meet in a few days, you see,"

Mo Huaimi slyly proposed, he knew that Blizzard was the dominant party, because the power of authorization was in their hands, not in a hurry, the other party was impatient because of waiting was what they needed.

And he also has to inquire about whether this Huaxia company that came up really has such strength, if so, then talk about it, if not, today is the last time to meet.

"Okay, I also think it would be best if we continue to talk in a few days. ”

Han agreed.

Three days later, Han Zhifeng received a call from Mo Huaimi,

"Sorry, Han, my chairman, Adhan, thinks it's too early to talk about this in the early days of the game, and he thinks it's better to talk about it in six months or a year. ”

"Well, I accept your opinion, we can talk about it in a year, and now I also think it's a bit early,"

Han Zhifeng immediately decided, he did not seem impatient at all, but agreed lightly.

Putting down the phone, Han Zhifeng showed a sneer, if he wants to get away with it, he will never be fooled, although there is a small setback here, but as a latecomer, there is not only such an opportunity.

Mo Huaimi was a little depressed, he didn't get the information he wanted from the phone, Blizzard was really not in a hurry, but his refusal, the other party's attitude should not be eagerly explained, shouldn't he immediately rush over to discuss the process again, if the other party did so, Blizzard would occupy the full initiative.

But now it's obviously not like this, he really didn't want to cut off contact with Blazing Front, because he had verified Blazing Front's information, and it was indeed a company that occupied a monopoly position in Huaxia in the field of instant messaging, so he adopted the method of wanting to capture and indulge, which made Blazing Feng anxious, but why did the result be like this.
