Chapter 63: Transfer Negotiations

In a series of three concerts, Li Yue only watched the first one. The rest www.biquge.info of the time, I was busy with the company's affairs.

As a reborn, Li Yue has no intention of relying on music to become a global figure. But after all, everyone got along and had some feelings, and it was still a little sad to suddenly hear that these people wanted to change jobs.

Li Yue knows very well where his advantages are, and if these songs he releases are simply sold to record companies, I am afraid that these dozens of songs are not even worth 10 million yuan. That is, he met Chen Tianren and Jie Shao, otherwise Li Yue's start-up capital at that time would have to find a way out from other places.

After 2010, when the domestic economy was transformed and reformed, an economic term often mentioned by news broadcasts was called: product added value! A piece of steel, which is not worth much in itself, can be worth countless times more when it is made into a product.

Li Yue's own songs are the same, simply selling songs, and in large quantities. The other party will definitely not give a very high price. But with the singer's interpretation, and then become the focus of public opinion on the Internet, these songs have become priceless. They want to change jobs, and if they exclude the songs that have been sold to Chen Tianren, they will take back all the other copyrights. I'm afraid that the value of these singers will immediately drop a notch.

However, Li Yue knew that this was the best strategy! He wasn't prepared to do that either.

In order to change from passive to active, Li Yue began a series of equity operations.

He first transferred the artist contracts and music copyrights held by Momoyun Music China to Momoyun Music America. Although Momo Cloud Music China holds 100% of the equity of the U.S. company, when the contract is transferred, the Chinese company will no longer be involved in the day-to-day operation of these artists.

After completing this step, Li Yue can carry out capital operations. With the high-quality artist contracts and music copyrights in hand, Momoyun Music America can raise funds in the capital market, and it is too easy to get an angel round of investment.

Even if these artists want to change jobs, Li Yue is not completely helpless. It would be wishful thinking to think of such a world-class superstar with only a small penalty for liquidated damages. As long as the price code given by the two foreigners is not satisfactory to Li Yue, Li Yue can apply for an injunction in a local court in the United States. If the contract between the two parties is not negotiated, the artist will not be allowed to perform. Domestic laws are relatively weak in this regard, which is one of the reasons why Li Yue transferred the artist contract to an American company. At that time, Li Yue signed a contract, and Liu Huan also lost an amount of money that satisfied Sony Music before breaking up peacefully.

These two bands plus Mo Ning are hot artists, and if they wait until public opinion and the media subside, the commercial value of these people will naturally fall. Those two foreigners naturally understand that it is impossible to fight a long-term lawsuit.

After three concerts in France, the world still doesn't know who these mysterious singers are, what their names are, and what they look like. Because of curiosity, the media and netizens are still paying attention.

The artists took a two-day break and then prepared for the next performance.

That night, when everyone came back for dinner after a day of sightseeing in Paris. Li Yue felt that it was time to make things clear.

"I heard that everyone wants to leave the company!" Li Yue put down the knife and fork in his hand, looked at everyone and said.

No one answered.

Long!

"Xiaoyue, we have no intention of leaving." Chen Tianren saw that everyone didn't speak, so he had to stand up and play a round.

"Uncle Chen doesn't need to say it, I also know about the preliminary situation, and I also got some news from the other party's record company. I know that everyone is worried that I have no experience in the operation of music market, so I want to find an experienced and capable company to plan for your future. People go to high places, I can understand, but I hope..."Before Li Yue's words were finished, the door of the room was opened from the outside. Douglas and Albert walked in.

These two people came by appointment by Li Yue, but the other party obviously came early, and it was an hour early. It seems that the other party is also a little impatient to get everyone's contract.

"You two came just in time." Li Yue motioned for the two of them to be by their side.

"HI, Mr. Li. We both negotiated that we would be willing to pay them ten times the amount of liquidated damages. After the two of them sat down, they said straight to the point.

Ten times, it sounds very good, but the price when Li Yue signed the contract at that time. is to lose 100 times, and their current value is only a drop in the penny.

"You don't have to think about the breach of contract and job hopping. If you force a contract and arrange a show for the artist, I will apply for a restraining order in a local court in the United States. After all, before I signed it, they were still artists in our company! Li Yue looked at the two old foxes with a sneer.

When everyone heard Li Yue say this, they all secretly said that it was not good.

The fat man looked indifferent and continued to eat the steak in front of him.

"And what do you want?" The two old guys looked at each other and asked, their company has its own legal counsel, and of course they know that it is not difficult for Li Yue to apply for a restraining order. It's just that they didn't expect Li Yue to be smart enough to take this step. I thought it would be a big deal to lose more money, as long as Li Yue signed, everything would have nothing to do with him.

"300 million US dollars to invest in Momo Cloud Music America, I will give you 20% of the shares. Or $500 million to buy out their contracts. Li Yue smiled as she poured herself a glass of red wine.

Chen Tianren also sighed in his heart when he saw Li Yue dealing with these two foreigners so calmly. These brothers really underestimate Li Yue. Well, now that there is a gap between the two sides, I am afraid that I will never be able to return to the intimate relationship I had before.

"I'm afraid that MJ is the only one in the world that is worth $500 million, are you too confident?" Douglas said dissatisfied.

"Our contract is about to expire, and we have a total of 20 concerts, and there are only a few left. As soon as their contracts expire, I will rearrange them to work and reveal their identities to the world. When Li Yue said this, he glanced at everyone's expressions.

One of the most valuable selling points of everyone now is the sense of mystery. As long as their names and appearances are disclosed, their value will immediately shrink. is like a show like "The Masked Singer", when it was broadcast, netizens were crazy about chasing updates every week, and the meager topic volume has always been ranked high, but when the show ends and everyone knows who the pointy-eared Avatar sister is, the meager popularity will immediately fall. The attention of netizens and the media will shift.

Of course, the two foreigners know where their value lies. However, the 20% stake in Li Yue's company is too little, and it has no right to speak at all.

"We paid $500 million for a 51 percent stake in the company."

"My conditions will not change, you guys think about it slowly!" Saying that, Li Yue glanced at Mo Ning, who had been silent, got up and walked out of the private room of the restaurant, and returned to his room.
