Chapter 211: Urgency
Zheng Zhengkun stood up and imagined what kind of perfect integration the two companies would be after the merger, Haishan Records did not have to go through a slow recovery period, and could even directly re-enter the top of Taiwanese record companies, Zheng Zhengkun became more and more excited the more he thought about it, but he seemed to think of something and frowned.
Chen Shufen saw the excitement on Zheng Zhengkun's face and knew that he was already tempted, it seemed that this acquisition was more certain, but later saw Zheng Zhengkun frowning slightly, and had a bad premonition in her heart, could it be true that Chen Lang said earlier that Rolling Stone would also be acquired?
"If Haishan and Rolling Stone merge, it will definitely be a match made in heaven, and I would like to see the two cooperating, but I heard that it seems that BMG, the world's four largest record companies, also seems to be interested in acquiring this grass-roots record company, and Xiao Yang is also a BMG person, and he was also eyeing Haishan before. This time, you can get it first, and then I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for you to grab food. Zheng Zhengkun said in a low tone.
"Is BMG also preparing to buy Asian record labels recently?" Chen Shufen asked with a solemn expression.
"Yes, although the Asian market except for Japan sales are very limited compared with Europe and the United States, but now the Asian economy is developing rapidly, the prosperity of the record market has begun to emerge, so the world's four major record companies are also looking at Asia, and as the three most important markets in Asia, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan are naturally the top priority, or it will not be long before the world's four major record companies will gather in Asia." Zheng Zhenkun said with some concern.
Although I love music, I think that if Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia are all occupied by these European and American companies, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Chinese music, and even in the end, there is no local record company, so it is really shameless.
Zheng Zhenkun's worries are a true portrayal of the future, the world's four largest almost controlled the world's record market, Hong Kong and Taiwan in the eighties and nineties had many local record companies, but from the mid-to-late nineties to the twenty-first century, the world's four major acquisitions were successively acquired, and in the end, only Taiwan's Rolling Stones were left to develop, and the others did not have much development, and the strength of the world's four major rivalries in the eighties was long gone.
"So have you heard that BMG has been in contact with Rolling Stone?" Father Chen frowned a little anxiously.
"This is not true, although the Rolling Stones have unlimited potential, but the main focus was on our Haishan Records before, and now that we can't acquire Haishan, then it is very likely that the pace of the plan will be accelerated, of course, it is not necessarily the Rolling Stones, other large companies such as Colin, companies with a certain scale and distribution channels are obviously more suitable for their appetite." Zheng Zhenkun analyzed.
"Then we'll have to contact Rolling Stone." Chen Shufen also realized the importance of the problem, it was really unexpected that the Rolling Stone, which she thought would be very easy to take, would have such a big variable, "But let's sign the contract now, and put the Rolling Stone matter aside." ”
Chen Shufen motioned to the lawyer who came with him to take the contract prepared in advance, and then handed it to Zheng Zhenkun after writing the acquisition amount and equity distribution ratio in accordance with the previous agreement, Zheng Zhenkun carefully read it and found that it was correct and signed his name on the spot, with the handshake between Chen Shufen and Zheng Zhenkun, it indicated that Chen Lang really acquired Haishan Records.
"Mr. Zheng, we still have a few things, the first is to ask you to try to calm the emotions of the current company's employees, especially singers and musicians, we hope that you can try to persuade these singers to stay, of course, if you really don't want to, don't force it.
At the same time, prepare for the merger with Rolling Stone, Lang Lang means that the merged company is called Haishan Rolling Stone Records, and two capital letters L will be added in front, I don't know if you have any objections? Chen Shufen asked with a smile.
"No problem, with this paper contract, I will be able to appease everyone, and I will arrange everything to wait for the arrival of Rolling Stone, as for the company's name and logo, change it, just indicate the restart of Haishan." Zheng Zhengkun had a little pity when he changed the company's name and factory standard, but in the end he agreed happily.
"That's good, the other thing is that if we acquire Rolling Stone, we will hold a press conference together to announce the official merger of Haishan Rolling Stone."
"No problem, if you encounter any difficulties, I will try my best to help, the merger of the two companies is really a great thing." Zheng Zhenkun is also eager to join forces with Rolling Stone.
"Okay, let's eat now, we'll rush to Rolling Stone after dinner, and try to get the Rolling Stone record early." After speaking, Chen Shufen called the waiter to serve the food, which was a simple celebration lunch.
After lunch, Zheng Zhengkun was anxious to go back to rectify the company that some people were disheartened and prepared to welcome the company's new life, while Chen Shufen and Chen's father drove to Rolling Stone Records after a short rest.
When she was in the car, Chen Shufen picked up the big brother and called Luo Dayou, "Hey, is it Dayou?" I'm Shufen. ”
"Shufen, what kind of wind is blowing you?" Luo Dayou joked when he heard Chen Shufen's words.
"I'm here in Taiwan to do business, how is your Rolling Stone company doing, and are there any big moves?" Chen Shufen asked.
"The company has just been established, everything is grass-roots and a little chaotic, but everything is constantly improving, and overall it is fine. There is no big move, but I am preparing my first record, which may be released in April. "Luo Dayou is very familiar with Chen Shufen, so he has nothing to hide.
Hearing the record that Luo Dayou said, Chen Shufen was shocked, because she learned from Lang Lang's mouth that Rolling Stone would release a record recently, and now it is true, but Chen Shufen really can't understand how Chen Lang knows about it.
"Yes, congratulations, your musical talent has finally been displayed, I believe this must be a classic." Chen Shufen said sincerely, after all, she is very familiar with Luo Dayou, and Chen Shufen also knows his musical talent very well.
"Huh...... Everything is still unknown, and it depends on whether the fans buy it or not. Luo Dayou smiled and said modestly.
"I'm optimistic about your record, it will definitely sell well, and if you want to release it in Hong Kong, you must find us Huaxing to satisfy you." Chen Shufen said with a smile.
"If it really sells well, I can't ask for your Huaxing distribution in Hong Kong, but now the headache is that Taiwan's distribution has not yet got the distributor, which is really a headache." Luo Dayou sighed.
Chen Shufen's heart moved when she heard this, "The records are about to be released and you haven't found a distributor yet, so what's the matter, the first record is very important to both the company and the singer itself, so it's not easy to be hasty." ”
"Everyone knows this, but now the three companies with strong distribution ability are Haishan, Colin and BMG, Colin is reluctant to release our records, BMG's requirements are too high, and Haishan is now rumored to be acquired, and he has no heart to release records.
I'm afraid that the release of this record in the end will be unfavorable, which will have a great impact on the company, and now everyone is more anxious, and today we are negotiating with BMG for the third time. Luo Dayou also sighed with a sad face.
Chen Shufen's heart throbbed, Corin probably didn't look down on Rolling Stone, a small newly established company, maybe he would not enter Golin's eyes until Rolling Stone had achievements.
BMG is eager to take root in Taiwan so make more preparations, the Rolling Stone is likely to be just one of the plans, and now the two are already in the third negotiation, only because of the uneven distribution of interests have not been negotiated for the time being, if they don't hurry up, they are likely to miss the Rolling Stone.
Chen Shufen'an held back her anxiety and said with a deep breath, "Dayou, first of all, I want to say I'm sorry, I was trying to trick you before, and I want to know the specific situation of Rolling Stone, because I came here this time to be entrusted by someone to buy your Rolling Stone Company." ”
"What? What did you say? Luo Dayou was surprised when he heard Chen Shufen's words, "Is it you Huaxing who want to buy our Rolling Stone Records?" ”
"It's not Hua Xing, it's Lang Lang, Chen Lang, do you remember? It's the overall champion of the Asian Amateur Singing Competition, the young man you still want to sign after the competition, remember? Chen Shufen heard Luo Dayou's words, so she had to explain again that there was someone else behind her boss.
"Chen Lang, of course I know, but where did he get so much money, which is not something that can be purchased by hundreds of thousands." Luo Da couldn't believe it for a while when he heard that Chen Lang was going to buy his own company.
"That's right, it's Chen Lang, as for why Chen Lang has so much money, it can only show that people can make money, the name of the little talent in Xiangjiang is not a false name, but a veritable name, not only talented, but also wealthy.
Think about the fact that the novel "Zhu Xian" sold 1.5 million copies, the first episode of the comic "Zhu Xian" is said to have sold 1.95 million copies, and the first record "Lang Lang Qiankun" sold more than 2 million data, Chen Lang has a profit share in these things, so he made so much money. ”
Chen Shufen explained Chen Lang's family history to Luo Dayou a little, and she was also emotionally charged when she talked about it.
"This, this is really a small fortune." Luo Dayou shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Now we are negotiating with BMG about the release, as for the acquisition, I have no opinion, but others may not agree, you should know the character of our group, but if the boss is Chen Lang, there is really some possibility."
Chen Shufen was relieved to hear that Luo Dayou did not oppose the acquisition, but the time was urgent, so she had to acquire Haishan as concisely as possible, and at the same time wanted to acquire Rolling Stone and merge the two companies to instruct Haishan Rolling Stone Records.
In particular, it is emphasized that the article of not interfering in the management of the company in addition to the financial revenue and expenditure and supervision, this alone may be better than countless checks.
