Chapter 454: The Old Shed
The next morning, Ye Luo went to the airport to pick up Qin Shiyue first.
Maybe it was because Ye Luo made a delicious breakfast, or for other reasons, Song Yan was in a good mood today, and actually volunteered to be Ye Luo's driver, and the two went to pick up Qin Shiyue together.
The two came to the Los Angeles airport on time, and then at the passenger exit, they saw the tall Qin Shiyue.
The woman was dressed in a trench coat with the front open to reveal a purple blouse underneath, and exquisitely cut suit trousers showed off the slenderness and length of her legs.
Qin Shiyue didn't bring much luggage this time, but she was dragging a box behind her, and when she saw Ye Luo, the woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a beautiful smiling face.
Ye Luo secretly praised in his heart, no matter when and where he saw this woman, his mood would always become brighter.
It's a beautiful and contagious beauty, and it's so moving.
"Wipe it, you're saliva." Song Yan said lightly on the side.
Ye Luo subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth, only then did he realize that he had been fooled, and glanced at Song Yan with some depression.
A smile appeared at the corner of Song Yan's mouth, and she stepped up to greet her: "Sister Qin, long time no see." ā
"Mr. Song, hello." The two stunning beauties hugged gently.
Ye Luo is a little strange, these two women don't look at each other very well in China, but now they seem to be very harmonious.
It seems that Song Yan and Mai Rena have been like this recently, in fact, they don't like each other in their hearts, but in front of themselves, they are as good as sisters.
The mystery in this, Ye Luo thought about it carefully, and simply didn't think about it.
Maybe it was because of Song Yan's presence, Qin Shiyue just greeted Ye Luo, and then the two didn't talk much, but Song Yan and Qin Shiyue chatted very lively. Ye Luo is more like a little brother with a bag.
However, Ye Luo is also used to this kind of scene, anyway, Chu Mo'er, Song Yan, and Qin Shiyue, as long as there are two of them together, they will become supporting roles, and they can only listen.
This kind of supporting role is actually very good, because Ye Luo can always see these three women quietly showing their perfection in front of him. Flourish.
It's a pleasure to look at, and of course, it's just as scary to think about.
Back in the villa area, Song Yan led Qin Shiyue into her big house, Ye Luo didn't follow up, but picked up the car in her garage and went to work.
There are actually a lot of things to do in Ye Luo today, in addition to making record arrangements, I also have to take a look at the Madison record company in the mouth of Wang Nicole.
The record company lost a lot of money. Already insolvent, Wang Nicole built yƬ Ye came over, and based on this, established a dream overseas company.
The benefits of coming over to a ready-made record company are obvious, the record distribution qualifications and sales channels can be inherited, and there is no need to run again.
Now for the leaf fall. Time is money.
Originally, it was said that it would be a weekend to see it, but Ye Luo contacted it. The boss is said to be ill, so he dragged it to this day.
When he arrived at the Erwin Building, Ye Luo went on a trip overseas and brought Hu Jianing first.
This so-called expedition is actually mainly to see the recording studio equipment of Medivan Records.
If Ye Luo wants to re-establish a recording studio, the cycle will not be talked about. The funding should start at least five or six million dollars. It is a simple way to set up a ready-made recording studio, and of course, it depends on whether the recording studio is worth the price. Hu Jianing is a connoisseur.
Universal Overseas is on the 50th floor of the Elwin Building, and Medivan Records is on the 19th floor, and it is very convenient to press the elevator to go down.
The elevator door is divided into left and right, and directly opposite is the front desk of Medivan Records, where the entire floor is owned by this record company, covering a much larger area than Universal Overseas.
However, unlike the vibrancy of the 50th floor, it was lifeless, with a thick layer of dust on the glass doors on both sides, and no one at the front desk.
Ye Luo and Hu Jianing walked to the front desk, took the old newspaper on the counter, wiped the dust from the chair, and sat down.
Hu Jianing took out a box of cigarettes and handed one to Ye Luo: "What time did you say it?" ā
Ye Luo doesn't usually smoke much, but it doesn't matter if he comes once in a while, so he took the spot: "Ten o'clock, there are still five minutes." ā
After the two of them finished smoking a cigarette, the elevator rang, the door opened, and an old white man in his sixties came out, dressed quite decently, but his face was a little pale, and he was coughing softly as he came out.
Ye Luo quickly snuffed out the cigarette butt, stood up and said, "Mr. Medivan? ā
"Oh, it's me." The old man nodded, stretched out his hand and shook Ye Luo, "Hello Mr. Ye." Come with me, both of you. ā
Following Medivan into the record company, he was greeted by a smell of dust, and Medivan coughed even more.
Seeing that the old man was coughing so much that his waist was almost straight, Ye Luo felt a little unbearable in his heart, walked to the side and opened the window, and helped the old man to the window: "You can rest for a while." ā
Medivin smiled reluctantly, took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and coughed for a while before he eased up, pointed to the other side and said, "That's the recording studio, Mr. Ye, you go and see it first." ā
is an expert, Ye Luo smiled and gave Hu Jianing a look.
Hu Jianing nodded and walked in the direction of the recording studio.
Ye Luo was not in a hurry, but moved two chairs over and asked Medivin to sit down by the window and chat for a while.
"Mr. Medivan, I look at this record company, the scale is not bad." Ye Luo said tentatively.
"yes." Medivin looked at his surroundings and said with a wry smile, "This is my forty years of hard work.
When I was twenty-five years old, I mortgaged my house, borrowed $100,000 from the bank, and set up a humble music studio, which I have grown to the size I am today. ā
"Oh." Ye Luo nodded and said, "Although I have not been here for a long time, I also know that the music market in Los Angeles is very competitive, and it is not easy to gain a foothold here." ā
"yes." "It was really hard at first.
I was very careful with my record company, every step was well thought out, and the company expanded a little slower, but it had solid roots.
Until five years ago, Medivan Records, the largest local small label record company in Los Angeles, had six independent music producers, and more than 30 singers, and we released records that occupied the top three Los Angeles music radio stations all year round. ā
Speaking of this, Medivan's face was a little proud, but soon, he sighed softly: "As a result, I took a wrong step, and I will never recover." ā
"What's wrong?" Ye Luo asked, "Have you been cheated by someone?" ā
"It's not." Medivin shook his head and said, "I can't blame others for this matter, I can only blame myself."
After 35 years of prudent management, the label has reached the pinnacle of the local market in Los Angeles, and I think the time is ripe for Medivan Records to rise to a bigger market, and it's time to become a mid-label label.
Then I spent a lot of money and borrowed again to expand the market and enter the California music market. ā
"Oh?" Ye Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this, "In that case, Medivan Records has the right to distribute records in California." ā
"Yes." Medivin nodded, "But it's useless, there is only a distribution qualification, but there is no market."
Five years ago, we opened up sales channels for more than 300 record stores across California and released more than 40 records, some of which we made ourselves, and some of which we worked with small local labels to sell their records.
It turned out to be a failure, a huge loss for five years in a row, because the record sales were not good, and those record stores did not cooperate with us anymore. Now, the company can't sustain itself. ā
"How so?" Ye Luo asked.
"There are many reasons for this." Medivan smiled bitterly, "One of the most important points is that our company's music producers are not up to the level of controlling the state-level market.
Of course, this is mainly to blame me, my boss, useless people. ā
Speaking of this, Medivan sat down in his chair, leaned down, looked as if he was a few years older, and sighed: "I have been cautious all my life, I have only taken one wrong step, but I have never had a chance again, I am already old." ā
After listening to Medivan's experience of running a record company, Ye Luo felt a little sympathy for this old man, but he came to buy his record company, so he could only sympathize.
At this time, Hu Jianing came from the recording studio and said to Ye Luo in Chinese: "I earned it, this is a good studio, the equipment is top-notch, better than the universal." ā
"It's a forty-year-old company, how is the life of the shed?" Ye Luo asked.
"Huh." Hu Jianing smiled and said, "The newer the recording equipment, the better. In this shed, some of the old models are now discontinued, and you can't buy them if you want to.
This kind of old equipment, materials and workmanship are far more real than the current new goods, and the quality is very good. The original design service life was 50 years, but in reality, we don't necessarily live past them, and we can use them until we die.
If you want to use a new device to achieve the recording effect of this old thing, don't even think about it if you don't have 10 million dollars.
You spend 10 million plates on this company, and this shed alone is worth it. ā
Ye Luo no longer had any doubts, and stretched out his hand to Medivan and said, "Mr. Medivan, this record company, I want it." ā
There was a deep reluctance in Mai Diwen's eyes, he sighed and held Ye Luo's hand: "Mr. Ye, I have heard the songs you wrote on the radio, you are a master." Medivan Company will definitely be in your hands and shine again.
So your assistant offered $10 million, and I agreed, and if it was someone else, it would be more than that. ā
"Thank you." After Ye Luo finished speaking, he thought about it, and felt that he still told the old man the truth, "The company will change its name." ā
"Let's change it, then." Medivan's face was gloomy, and he shook his head, "My time is over. (To be continued......)
