Chapter 209: Negotiation
"You can sing if you want to sing, and you want to sing beautifully
No matter how empty the stage is
Someday you can see waving glow sticks
Sing as much as you want
Even if no one applauds me
At least I was able to
Courageous self-appreciation
If you want to sing, you can sing beautifully
No matter how empty the stage is
Someday you can see waving glow sticks
Sing when you want
Sing if you want"
After Chen Lang finished singing a song, Gu Jiahui didn't shout to stop, but gave a thumbs up after Chen Lang walked out of the recording studio, "I thought you would have to sing twice more to find a feeling, but I didn't expect you to sing so well the first time, it seems that you have been practicing these songs hard in the past few days." ”
"The song I wrote by myself is relatively familiar with it, and after practicing in the past few days, I feel that I found it almost immediately, so I played it well." Chen Lang said happily when he heard Gu Jiahui's words.
"Well, talent plus hard work, Lang Lang, your future achievements are limitless." Gu Jiahui looked at Chen Lang with satisfaction, and then said, "Then let's continue, if you keep this state, we will be able to finish recording this song today." ”
"No problem." Chen Lang happily walked into the recording studio again when he heard this.
It's just that the moment he put on the headphones, the whole person was completely relaxed, and he only thought about the song in his mind, and the feeling that he had been practicing during this time, and then gave Gu Jiahui a thumbs up and began to continue recording the song "Sing If You Want to Sing".
Chen Lang recorded his own record here, while Chen Shufen and Chen's father on the other side had already come to Taiwan, and after contacting and waiting, they finally got a reply from Haishan Records agreeing to the interview, at this time Chen Shufen and Chen's father were sitting in a private room in a hotel, waiting for the person in charge of Haishan Records.
Chen Shufen, Chen's father and the accompanying lawyer were still discussing the details of the negotiation and the bottom line, and the door was pushed open, and two people entered, one was a middle-aged man with a calm face, and the other was a young man with a sad face.
"Hello, I am Zheng Zhenkun, the general manager of Haishan Records, and this is my secretary Xiao Yang, thank you very much for coming here from Hong Kong." Zheng Zhenkun doesn't look like a person with hundreds of millions of debts at all, and his face is relaxed and open-minded. On the contrary, the young man on the side greeted him with a worried face, and then stopped talking.
"Hello Mr. Zheng, I'm Chen Shufen, and I'm glad you were able to agree to this meeting." Chen Shufen smiled and shook hands with Zheng Zhenkun.
"It's okay if you don't agree, the company is really in danger, and I can't hold it anymore." Zheng Zhenkun shook his head and said directly, which made Chen Shufen and Chen's father surprised, this is a negotiation, and now exposing his shortcomings will only make the other party lower the price, what does Zheng always think?
However, Chen Shufen and Chen's father remembered Chen Lang's evaluation of Zheng Zhenkun: open-minded, open-minded, a person who truly loves music, and his love for music is more than the pursuit of money.
"I believe that Mr. Zheng already knows our intentions, we open the skylight and say that we want to completely acquire Haishan Records, including all the record and song copyrights, vinyl factories and complete distribution channels, I don't know what Mr. Zheng's requirements for the sale price are?" After determining Zheng Zhenkun's character, Chen Shufen also went straight to the point, and directly asked the most critical price question.
"I don't ask for anything." Zheng Zhenkun still looked indifferent, "I just came here this time with a glimmer of hope, Haishan is my own ideal music kingdom, I don't want him to be involved in too much dumping and shady, I hope that there will not be too much between money and music, so that music can be independent of money."
Of course, I'm not saying that you don't need money, but I hope that the company will not interfere in the songwriting and let the musicians create freely, otherwise it will limit the pure nature of the music. ”
Zheng Zhenkun said this because he is a music lover more than a businessman, and he gives his singers and musicians high salaries and dividends, just to make everyone worry about money, but to focus all his energy on making good music.
At the same time, after Haishan Records fell into difficulties, many people chose to leave, Zheng Zhenkun did not stop it, and did not even complain at all, but felt that this was a very normal flow of talents.
In the absence of basic material security, who has the heart to really care about music, so Zheng Zhenkun did not set up any obstacles for those who left, and allowed these musicians cultivated by Haishan to jump ship and leave, such a company CEO is probably the only one.
For Zheng Zhenkun's words, Chen Shufen and Chen's father looked at each other, but they didn't expect that this Haishan old man was always such an idealistic person, he didn't care about money, he only cared about music, and the two of them were also in awe in their hearts.
However, Chen Lang had instructed before the two of them came that after the merger of the two companies, they would not interfere in the management of the company, but only send people to supervise and manage the financial income, and let the CEOs of the two companies handle the rest, so the requirements for Zheng Zhenkun were within the concessions of Chen Lang's negotiations, but in order to achieve the minimum effort and the greatest benefit, Chen Shufen and Chen's father certainly would not say these things now.
"I heard that you are a person who loves music before I came, and it seems that it is true, and everyone even underestimates how much you love music." Chen Shufen complimented.
"The conditions for our preparation this time are, first of all, to undertake all the bank loans of Haishan Records, and now Haishan still owes the bank a loan of 80 million Taiwan dollars, we can repay the loan of 20 million in one lump sum, and the remaining 60 million will be paid off in 6 years, and at the same time we will pay you 20 million, of course, we ask to get all the equity of the company."
As soon as Chen Shufen finished speaking, the young man named Xiao Yang hurriedly said, "This is impossible, let you get all the equity, no one restricts you, if you only use Haishan as a money-making machine at that time, this is inconsistent with Haishan's consistent purpose." ”
Zheng Zhengkun didn't have any expression after hearing this, but motioned for Chen Shufen to continue.
Chen Shufen glanced at Xiao Yang and said, "We repay the loan for Haishan Records for 80 million, just hoping to pull Haishan out of the quagmire, and then we will inject another 10 million into the company for the company's reorganization." This time, we are here with sincerity, that is, we hope that one of the three major records can make a comeback and reshape the former 'Haishan Music Kingdom'. ”
Zheng Zhengkun was a little touched when he heard "Haishan Music Kingdom", his eyes seemed to become confused, Chen Shufen and Chen's father looked at Zheng Zhengkun who was distracted and didn't speak, until Zheng Zhengkun came back to his senses.
"I have to have more than 30% of the company's equity, I don't care about the money, but I don't want Haishan to become full of copper smell, Shao Daheng doesn't understand music at all, let him take over Haishan, I have to worry about the future of Haishan.
In fact, there are many people who think the same way as you, and your offer is not the highest, if it weren't for some friendship with Shao Daheng and some hopes, I probably wouldn't have come today. Zheng Zhengkun looked at Chen Shufen and shook his head.
Hearing Zheng Zhengkun's words, Chen Shufen and Chen's father were both nervous, and sure enough, there are not a few people who want to eat the meat of Haishan, and the funds are probably much higher than their own hands, just because Zheng Zhengkun still has illusions and wants to continue the music kingdom of Haishan, so this will be delayed until now.
Thinking of this, Chen Shufen felt that it was best to fight quickly if she couldn't delay any longer, and it was a little funny to hear Zheng Zhengkun think that he was coming on behalf of Shao Daheng.
"First of all, I didn't come on behalf of Sixth Uncle Shao, I came this time and had nothing to do with Sixth Uncle at all, and I was also entrusted by others."
Zheng Zhengkun and Xiao Yang were surprised when they heard Chen Shufen's words, they didn't represent Shao Daheng, who did they represent?
Seeing the doubts of the two, Chen Shufen said with a smile, "In addition to being the person in charge of Huaxing Records, I also have an identity, that is, Lang Lang's agent." ”
"Lang Lang, it's Chen Lang, a little genius in Xiangjiang." Zheng Zhengkun nodded, "He is indeed a talented young man, but what does this have to do with this acquisition?" ”
Zheng Zhengkun asked puzzledly, and then thought of a possibility, and his eyes widened a lot in an instant, "Could it be, is it ......?"
"Yes, the one who wants to buy Haishan Records this time is Lang Lang, this is Lang Lang's father." Chen Shufen smiled when she saw Zheng Zhengkun's surprised expression.
"I am Chen Lang's father, and this acquisition is indeed from Lang Lang." Father Chen nodded at Zheng Zhengkun.
"Oh, yes?" Zheng Zhengkun's eyes lit up when he heard the words of the two, and his tone was full of surprise and a hint of joy, as if the change in the acquisition candidate had changed Zheng Zhengkun's attitude.
"Yes, although I don't know how Chen Lang met you, but Chen Lang admires you very much, saying that you are a person who loves music more than money, Chen Lang wanted to visit you as early as when he participated in the Asian Amateur Singing Competition, but he missed it because of time constraints, and this time he was also preparing a second record and couldn't get out, Chen Lang also asked me to say hello to you, and he will definitely visit him when he comes to Taiwan to promote."
"Is Chen Lang preparing for the second record, it's really good, all the songs on the first record are masterpieces, I don't know what will happen to the second record this time?" Zheng Zhengkun seemed to be more interested in Chen Lang's second record than in this negotiation, and Chen Shufen and Chen's father smiled bitterly when they listened.
"This second record is still all written and composed by Chen Lang himself, supervised by Gu Jiahui, Jiahui said that the quality of this record is not inferior to the first record, and the sales may be higher." Chen Shufen saw that Zheng Zhengkun was interested in Chen Lang's record, so she explained.
"That shouldn't be wrong, Gu Jiahui still has a vision, which really makes people look forward to this record." Zheng Zhengkun said with a smile.
