Cheng Xiaoyu rented half of the office space in the Carnegie Hall Building at 57 West Street 152 West Street in New York as the headquarters of the "Sound.Of.Rain" digital record music company. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few days ago, the world's oldest record company, one of the five major record groups in the 20th century, "EMI", announced layoffs and sold the U.S. branch building at 750 Seventh Avenue in New York.

EMI is a living fossil of the record industry, it was founded in 1897, headquartered in London, set up branches in 146 countries around the world, with Captial, Apple, Virgin (Viking records), Parlophone, Liberty, Blue.Note and other record brands, is the leading company in the British record industry, used all over the world to play an important position.

It has also made a lot of contributions to the Huaxia record industry, in the nineteenth century EMI entered Huaxia and set up a company, but in 1949, the company withdrew from Shanghai, in 1952 it was reorganized into Huaxia Record Factory, and later changed its name to Shanghai Record Factory, People's Record Factory, and today it is the Shanghai branch of Huaxia Record Company, which is the oldest in Chinese history, the largest and the most powerful audio-visual products enterprise.

Such a bull B company is now going to sell the industry to improve its financial situation, you can imagine how dangerous the situation in the record industry is, but this is just a prelude, Cheng Xiaoyu, who already knows the end of EMI, in Cheng Xiaoyu's memory of the world, EMI Baidai lost 260 million pounds in 2006~2007, and the market share in the UK fell from 16% to 9%.

In August 2007, EMI was bought by Terra.Firma Capital Partners Ltd for £3.2 billion. After this big move, several important pillar singers left, such as Radiohead, Paul McCartney, etc. The Rolling Stones also signed a new contract with Universal Music in July 2008.

Due to heavy debt, EMI EMI was taken over by Citi in February 2011. In June 2011, Citi launched the auction process for EMI. In November 2011, Sony Records acquired EMI's distribution business for $2.2 billion and acquired the company's music rights.

Universal Music, on the other hand, spent $1.9 billion to buy EMI's record business.

The entire timeline of this time and space is different, and in general, the whole process is three years behind, so at this time, EMI Momoyo is only in crisis, and has not yet reached the end of the road.

Cheng Xiaoyu is ambitious to catch up with the feast of EMI Baidai, and the most direct opponent is Sony, and he is no stranger to Sony Cheng Xiaoyu, because Sony's company in Huaxia is called "Xinsuo".

What Cheng Xiaoyu wants most is, of course, EMI's distribution business and the company's music copyright, although he hasn't had time to appreciate the music of celebrities in this time and space, but it will not be worse than another time and space.

You must know that in Cheng Xiaoyu's memory, in 2012, Sony Music Entertainment included EMIMusicPublishing at a price of 2.2 billion US dollars, and Sony became the world's largest music library, owning 31% of the song copyright in the record market.

Then in a year or three, it turned a profit, and the copyright status of this time and space is better than the time and space in Cheng Xiaoyu's memory, and it is impossible to say that Cheng Xiaoyu does not covet EMI's music copyright.

But the problem is that Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't know how long EMI can last in this time and space, whether this time is enough for him to raise enough funds, he doesn't want to find "Xi Yu", that is, to find Su Yuxi to get money, after all, "Xi Yu", which does not have an IPO, is now developing completely with the help of syndicated loans, although the situation is good and the momentum is very strong, the money is not enough.

And his own net worth is the profit of "Xichu", and he will not know until Yi Yunfei comes, he still has hundreds of millions of income in "Shanghe", but it is still 108,000 miles away from 2.2 billion US dollars, which makes Cheng Xiaoyu have a headache, and it is definitely not enough to join the bidding for 2.2 billion US dollars, at least one or two hundred million US dollars is enough.

Cheng Xiaoyu was not a person who would worry about money, but at this time, he couldn't figure out how to get at least two billion dollars in a year..........

Cheng Xiaoyu sat on the balcony of the apartment and worried, at this time someone knocked on the door, and opened the door is the white female designer Andrea he invited, Cheng Xiaoyu invited him to be a full-time artist of his company, including the company's future movie covers, promotional posters, etc.

Cheng Xiaoyu took a drink for Andrea, then took the drawing paper she handed over, and asked a little uncertainly: "Uh, Miss Andrea, I want the feeling of a pair of waving wings, which are made up of musical notes!"

Andrea was stunned, a little like fainting, she felt that Cheng Xiaoyu's requirements were a little too high, so she said: "Mr. Cheng, it is difficult for me to do this alone."

"I'm so embarrassed," she shook her head self-deprecatingly, and explained with a smile, "I can do it just by drawing, but I can't do anything with CG." ”

"Oh! I'm sorry. It's that I didn't make it clear, you draw a rough outline, and then pass it to the head office of Shanghai, where will someone be in charge. ”

"I see, Mr. Cheng. Andrea nodded.

"By the way, what about Mr. Yi, didn't he come with you?" Cheng Xiaoyu remembered that Yi Yunfei said that he had lived with Andrea.

"Mr. Yi went to buy wine, and he said that he would have a good drink with you in the evening. And Mr. Cheng, can I take the design drawings of the office and the furniture selection list?" Andrea asked, looking at the mysterious young and handsome boss.

Cheng Xiaoyu went to the bedroom to get the drawings and gave them to Andrea, and Yi Yunfei just came in with a bag of snacks and beer.

After Andrea said goodbye, the two sat under the parasols on the balcony and started chatting over beer.

"Yu Shao, what did we make our first movie? How much did we invest? Do you still make romance movies?"

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and smiled mysteriously and said, "No, we make horror movies!"
