Chapter 426: Preparation

After listening to Zheng Zhenkun's explanation, Chen Lang learned that Taiwan Television also had the intention of reorganizing the rookie singing contest with Haishan Rolling Stone Records, so the problem of contacting the TV station does not exist, at least in Taiwan. Top Novel,

"I see, it is undoubtedly a good thing that Taiwan TV is willing to cooperate with us, so what kind of competition is the company going to launch?" Chen Lang continued to ask.

"What could be different in this singer talent contest? Everyone is the same, in the preliminary round, semi-finals, and finals, just invite a few professional teachers to be judges, and then invite a gold medal emcee. Zheng Zhenkun was puzzled when he heard this.

"If that's all there is to it, I don't think it's enough, because we don't seem to have much advantage in attracting new people to our singing competition.

The singer talent contest co-organized by Corin Records and China Television has lasted from the 70s to the present, and it can be regarded as the oldest singer talent show.

In addition, Corin Records has persisted since the 70s, and its heritage and personal connections are no worse than ours, and even the back/stage is stronger than us, and the strong signboard for more than ten years still has great value and attractiveness.

Although our seamount rolling stones have risen again, they do not have any advantages compared with them, and even make people have scruples because of a history of failure.

The new UFO record is backed by Warner, an international giant record label.

As one of the world's five major international record labels, its resources and distribution channels believe that no Asian record company can compare with it, and just a Warner signature can attract newcomers.

Compared with the flying saucer with the mountain at its back, we still don't have any advantages at all, and even a lot of difference.

So as a newcomer, why did he choose our rookie singer contest?

Of course, if our rookie singer contest is held, there will definitely be a lot of people who sign up with the appeal of Haishan and Taiwan TV.

But compared to the other two talent competitions, I'm afraid the overall quality of our newcomers is much worse, the two and many musicians in the company are elites who really love music, I'm afraid the quality of these newcomers will disappoint you at that time. Chen Lang shrugged his shoulders and said.

Father Chen and the two bosses nodded thoughtfully when they heard this, it is really possible that such a situation will occur.

"By the way, what's going on with this UFO record? I haven't heard of it before, how did it rise so fast, we have the foundation of the previous seamount and the re-emergence of many outstanding musical talents from Rolling Stone, but how does this flying saucer feel like it was born out of nowhere? Chen Lang asked curiously.

I thought that the development of Haishan Rolling Stone Records, which I integrated, was already fast, but I didn't expect that there would be faster development.

Regarding the name UFO, Chen Lang still has some impressions in his mind.

Throughout the 80s and early 90s, UFO was the leader of Taiwan's record industry, and was known as Taiwan's three major record hegemons along with Rolling Stone and Polygram, but at its peak, UFO was worthy of the two record companies of Rolling Stone and Polygram, which can be described as monstrous.

"This ...... In fact, the founder of UFO left from our Rolling Stones, I don't know if Mr. Chen, do you remember that when the acquisition of Rolling Stone was negotiated, two people stood up against it, and finally left directly because of the acquisition agreement. Duan Zhongyi shook his head and said with emotion.

Chen Lang, Chen's father and Zheng Zhenkun were all shocked when they heard this, Chen Lang and Chen's father were surprised that the founders of UFO were actually the two musicians who left Rolling Stone.

Zheng Zhenkun was surprised, there are really many music elites in Rolling Stone Records, and now there are two of the three major record companies in Taiwan that are from the original obscure Rolling Stone magazine.

At the same time, Zheng Zhengkun was even more surprised by Chen Lang's vision, at that time, Rolling Stone was just a magazine, although it had already shown excellent musical literacy, but no one expected that it would burst out with such great energy.

Only the little guy in front of him, who is not yet eighteen years old, can actually discern people and preemptively acquire Rolling Stone, and the millions at that time have been exchanged for nearly 100 million now, although Zheng Zhenkun doesn't care about money, he still has to admire Chen Lang's courage and vision.

"Since Mr. Chen acquired Rolling Stone, Wu Chuchu and Peng Guohua immediately left Rolling Stone to establish 'UFO Enterprise Co., Ltd.' (English: UFOgroupco, LTD), operating under the brand of 'UFO Records' (English: UFOcord), and the first record of the business was "Tao Dawei's 1983 Creation Album".

In 1983, Su Rui's first self-titled album released by UFO received an amazing response in the market, which not only made Su Rui popular, but also laid the foundation for UFO Records to flourish in the future.

When UFO was thriving because of Su Rui, Warner Records wanted to enter the Taiwan market, so it chose the famous UFO Records.

After getting the agency of Warner, UFO can be said to have developed rapidly, and it has expanded dramatically in just over a year, directly becoming one of the three major record companies in Taiwan.

We became direct competitors, and although we knew that we would meet again sooner or later, I really didn't expect that we would meet so soon. Duan Zhongyi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Hearing the names UFO and Su Rui, Chen Lang's heart moved, and he knew that he should have put more effort into keeping these two people at that time.

Because Chen Lang thought of more information about flying saucers.

Among them, there is the Little Tigers, known as Asia's No. 1 idol group, how popular the Little Tigers were at that time, I believe that many people in the 60s to 90s are very clear, this is really a popular idol group all over Asia, sweeping Asia for five years, and its popularity is unmatched, which is also the memory of several generations.

There is also a little whirlwind Lin Zhiying, a super idol who caused a sensation in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia as soon as he debuted, once Lin Zhiying went to Hong Kong to participate in activities, many people in Hong Kong wanted to take a look at this super celebrity at that time, it can be described as an empty alley, and the popularity is hot, I am afraid that the current Chen Lang is a little inferior to it.

Wang Jie, the super king who covered the sky in Taiwan in the late eighties and early nineties, also belonged to flying saucers, and Wang Jie was the absolute king of Taiwan, and no one could shake it.

Similarly, Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok, two of Hong Kong's four kings, also belong to UFO, in addition to Zhang Yusheng, Su Rui, Laboyz, Ye Huan, Cai Xingjuan, Jiang Yuheng, Yi Nengjing, Zheng Zhihua, Ye Qianwen, Lin Zixiang, and so on.

UFO records at its peak, in the Taiwanese record industry at that time, was simply a boss who could trample the second child under his feet, and a champion who could throw the runner-up away from a whole lap.

Chen Lang couldn't help but secretly inhale when he thought of this, it turned out to be such a bullish Taiwanese local record company.

Although it was completely acquired by Warner and reorganized Fenghua Records, the current UFO is far from its peak, and the future glory is definitely a huge threat to Haishan Rolling Stone.

What's more, it was finally acquired by the giant Warner, which is equivalent to a capital enemy in Chen Lang's view.

However, Chen Lang does not have a good way now, and he still needs to be hard to strike iron, and it is the most important thing to develop and expand the Haishan Rolling Stone first.

"It turns out that UFO still has these connections with us, but now our focus is on developing ourselves, and I have an immature idea for the talent singer audition, and I will talk about it later, and now I want to talk about the company's business in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia." Chen Lang waved his hand.

Although Zheng Zhenkun was a little anxious when he heard this, it was not good to say more.

"This summer, we will set up a Hong Kong branch of ll Haishan Rolling Stone in Hong Kong, and then I will have Sam and Zhen Ni to announce that they will join at the same time, with my agent Chen Shufen as the general manager of the company, Chen Liuquan as the company's production director, the Hong Kong branch has been prepared, I don't know how the various branches in Southeast Asia are?" Chen Lang said.

"The branches in the four countries of Southeast Asia have been in the same position before, and at the same time they have started to distribute the records of our Taiwanese company, at least for the time being, and they are now in a profitable state, and now they have been on the move, just waiting for the company's arrangement." Duan Zhongyi said.

The branches in Southeast Asian countries are specifically responsible for another general manager, and he has not returned to Singapore at this time, but the record companies in Southeast Asian countries have not made any big moves, and the company's arrangement is that the previous strategy is to stabilize first, and then try to develop.

"In order to cause a sensational effect, Hong Kong needs to wait for my contract with Sam to expire before it can start operating, so can Southeast Asia take the lead and try to sign singers, or start releasing new records for its existing artists?" Chen Lang asked.

"Of course, this is possible, but if our company in Southeast Asia wants to develop rapidly, it must also need a lot of financial support, sign or dig up more excellent musicians and singers, and upgrade resources in all aspects, etc., at the same time, the five major international record companies have also opened branches in Southeast Asian countries, and our competitive pressure is not small." Duan Zhongyi said.

"In terms of funds, if the profits of each branch are not enough, it should be no problem to spend some from Taiwan, right?"

If you want to compete with international giants, the investment of funds is essential.

"Taiwan's profits plus the profits of each branch are enough to support the operation of the entire record company, but in this case, you can't prepare the money you need from Mr. Chen." Zheng Zhenkun said.

"Then forget it, or focus on the company, and strive to gain a firm foothold in Southeast Asian countries as soon as possible, and do not have to retreat when encountering the five giant companies, we have to fight, our goal at this stage is to achieve comprehensive coverage in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, the company must complete this as soon as possible if it wants to develop and grow, and then we are qualified to compete with the five giant companies."

"No problem at all, during this time, we have already completed the integration of resources in Southeast Asian countries, and we are waiting to show our strengths." Duan Zhongyi said with a smile that it is a good thing for everyone that the company can grow.

"That's the best, you can look at the specifics, and the other problem is that I'll give seven percent of the company's options as a reward, but these options are not like yours' original shares of the company.

These rewards are the other employees of the Taiwan company, who did a good job you report to me, and at the same time how many options should be accounted for should be explained together, as long as there is no problem, that's probably it. Chen Lang said generously.

Zheng Zhenkun, Duan's brothers, and Chen Shufen and his wife all own the original shares of the company, and even if Chen Lang injects capital in the future, it will not be diluted, which is to retain the interests of these important talents.

As for the new 7 percent, it is an option that will be diluted after the company grows.
