Chapter 205: Lack of Money
"I've heard of Haishan Records, but which company is this Rolling Stone Records?" Mother Chen was puzzled when she heard Chen Lang's words.
"Rolling Stone is a new record label that has just been established this year, and there are several very powerful musicians and singers in the company, and the potential is huge, but it has not officially released a record yet, so it is still in a state of obscurity." Chen Lang explained a little, after all, the glory of the Rolling Stone has not yet appeared, and there is no way to say too much.
"But I remember that Haishan Records, because the boss took out a loan of 100 million yuan to invest in one of Asia's largest vinyl record production factories, and now it is under heavy load, and many musicians and singers have left jobs.
And Rolling Stone has not released a record until now, and the future is uncertain, is it a bit risky for you to buy these two record companies now? Chen's father frowned and said, because of his son, the family is now more interested in things in the entertainment industry, and they know a lot.
However, Chen's father and Chen's mother did not immediately object, but looked at Chen Lang seriously, after all, Chen Lang is not an ordinary child, not to mention talented, even investing in the production of goods and stores can earn about 200,000 yuan per store per month, so Chen's father and mother feel that Chen Lang must have his own reasons for doing this.
Chen Lang naturally has enough reasons to do this, and the reason is the brilliant achievements of Rolling Stone Records in the future.
Rolling Stone Records, whose full name is "Rock Records Co., Ltd", is a Taiwanese record label founded by brothers Duan Zhongyi and Duan Zhongtan in 1980, and is currently the largest independent record label in Asia.
Rolling Stone's four "ones": it is Taiwan's first local record label; It is the only existing local record label after the world's five largest record companies entered Taiwan; It is a record of your growth and the trajectory of memory; It is a milestone and hope for Chinese music.
In addition to Taiwan, it has branches in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Seoul.
Rolling Stone has many big-name singers and musicians, such as Qi Yu, Zhang Aijia, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Huang Yiling, Doll, Little Worm, Li Lifen, Pan Yueyun, Zhang Zhenyue, Ren Xianqi, Muji, Liang Jingru, Liu Ruoying, Chen Sheng, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Jackie Chan, Su Huilun, Zhou Huajian, Zhao Chuan, Du Dewei, Huang Pinyuan, Karen Mok, Zhang Hongliang, Mayday and so on.
The main body of Rolling Stone's business is also growing and growing, and the entertainment business includes Rolling Stone Records, Fengyun Records, Rolling Stone Artist Brokerage, Rolling Stone Communication, and Rolling Entertainment; Cultural undertakings include Rolling Stone Culture; The network business includes RIC (gogorock, yoyorock, asiacola, rockacola), Rolling Stone Mobile; Media ventures include Voice of Taipei Radio.
Rolling Stone, together with UFO and Shanghua, is known as the three major Chinese record companies in Taiwan in the 80s and 90s, and the three record factory logos, which are almost all the memories of Taiwanese pop music!
The infinite brilliance of the future Rolling Stone has not yet released Luo Dayou's first (and also the first record of Rolling Stone) that caused a huge sensation in Taiwan's music scene, and the current Rolling Stone is still in a state that no one knows.
After the release of this "Zhihu Ye", I am afraid it will not be so easy to acquire, and Chen Lang remembers that Rolling Stone's record was handed over to BMG, one of the world's top five record companies, for distribution, if the two are connected, I am afraid that it will be more troublesome, so now Chen Lang is also very anxious, worried that Rolling Stone has reached a cooperation agreement with BMG.
"Haishan is indeed suffering because of huge bank loans, and many of its musicians and singers have left, but Haishan was once one of the three major record companies in Taiwan in the 70s, and even called the two major dream factories in the Chinese-speaking world along with Shaw Brothers Films, which shows the influence of Haishan.
The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and Haishan also has the most important distribution channels covering Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, which is particularly precious, and it is impossible for any company to reach this point without years of accumulation, and now it is the most difficult period for Haishan, which is the best time for us to start. Chen Lang said with some excitement.
"If we win Haishan, then we will be able to use the huge distribution channels to envelop Rolling Stone Records, and I believe they also know that distribution channels can be a huge boost to a record, and the distribution intensity of a very small record label and a world-class record label can vary a lot."
"Therefore, with Haishan's distribution channels and connections, coupled with the infinite creative ability of the Rolling Stones, the integration of the two will definitely burst out with the most brilliant light, and it may become another music kingdom." When Chen Lang finally finished speaking, he was already raising his arms high, and his face was flushed.
Chen's father and the three looked at Chen Lang, who was extremely excited, and shook his head funny, and Chen's mother took the lead and said, "If Rolling Stone Records is really a promising record company, then the possibility of your plan is relatively high." ”
"If it's really like what you think, brother, then you'll soon be a billionaire, and I'm the billionaire's sister." Chen Yun said with a smile.
"It does sound very tempting." Father Chen said after thinking for a while.
"So you've all agreed to my plan." Chen Lang happily looked at Chen's father and Chen's mother.
"Lang Lang, you are also sixteen years old, and unlike other young people, we don't want to restrict your development, as long as you don't study badly and don't drop your studies, we will always support your decision." Chen's father said with relief, and his mother and Chen Yun also smiled and nodded.
Chen Lang didn't expect Chen's father and Chen's mother to agree so easily, you must know that the acquisition of two record companies is not done for hundreds of thousands, maybe you have to gamble all your belongings, which may not be successful.
"Now there are more than 9 million at home, leaving 1 million for emergency use, and all the rest are invested in this acquisition." Chen Lang gritted his teeth and said.
Chen's father and Chen's mother nodded secretly when they heard that Chen Lang still left one million, at least Chen Lang still had some foundation, even if it failed after the successful acquisition, it left a layer of insurance for Lang Lang and his family.
However, Chen's father said bad news, "I'm afraid there is no 8 million for you to buy the company, because the more than 10 million you earned has not yet paid taxes." ”
"Haven't paid your taxes yet?" Chen Lang was shocked when he heard this, he really didn't know how Hong Kong's tax law stipulates.
"I specially turned over the information, Hong Kong's tax law is relatively simple, after all, it is a free trade port, all kinds of trade tax rates are very low, and personal income tax is also low, Hong Kong's tax rate is very low in all countries and regions.
At the same time, there are few types of taxes in Hong Kong, in short, you earn more than 10 million, and you probably have to pay less than 1.5 million taxes, which means that the funds you can use now are about 6.5 million. Chen's father explained.
"It's only 6.5 million, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Chen Lang scratched his head depressedly.
"Although Haishan is not as good as before, but its own asset valuation is definitely not less than 10 million, I originally wanted to be responsible for Haishan to repay the bank's annual loan, and then use about 6 million to take Haishan, and the remaining 2 million is used to buy Rolling Stone, but now it is obviously not enough."
"Brother, I remember that the profit dividends of "Lang Lang Qiankun" outside Hong Kong have not been given to you yet, it should have been sold for so long, maybe you can withdraw some of it from Huaxing first, this should be enough." Chen Yun looked at Chen Lang, who was frowning, and said suddenly.
Chen Lang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he gave Chen Yun a thumbs up and smiled, "This method should be feasible." ”
After speaking, Chen Lang called Chen Shufen, but fortunately, Chen Shufen didn't sleep, "Hey, Sister Chen?" I'm Chen Lang, and I have something to ask you. ”
"Lang Lang, what's the matter?" Chen Shufen replied.
"I'd like to ask about the situation outside Hong Kong." Chen Lang resisted the impulse in his heart and asked.
"The boom period of distribution in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and South Korea has passed, and the release in Japan has also reached the end of its release, and the current sales are almost certain.
Taiwan has sold a total of 410,000 copies, Southeast Asia has sold 620,000 copies, Japan has sold 380,000 copies, and it is estimated that it will eventually reach 400,000 copies, and South Korea has sold 110,000 copies, which is also a good result for double platinum.
So far, a total of about 1.92 million copies have been sold outside of Hong Kong, and with 270,000 copies in Hong Kong, it has managed to break through 2 million copies, and we will hype this achievement before your second album is officially released. Chen Shufen said happily.
"It's two million, which is a pretty good result." Chen Lang was very happy when he heard this, and the tens of millions of diamond sales in Europe and the United States are naturally incomparable, but the first record in Asia can achieve more than 2 million sales, and Chen Lang is also satisfied.
"So has all this money been remitted to the company, and I now want my own profit share."
"Except for the Japanese ones that have not yet arrived, the others have already arrived, why are you short of money? I remember that you made a lot of money from publishing novels and comics, right? Chen Shufen asked strangely.
"It's true that I've made a lot of money, but I'm in a hurry to use the money because I want to buy two companies, can you share my profits with me first?" Chen Lang explained helplessly.
"That's no problem, anyway, the remittance from Japan will arrive soon, why don't you go tomorrow, let's find a place to talk about it tomorrow, as your agent, I don't know about the company you are going to buy." Chen Shufen pretended to be angry and said.
"You don't have to go outside, it's right at our house tomorrow, and it just so happens that my mother wants to invite you to dinner at home, and I can tell you my specific thoughts when the time comes."
