This morning, Ye Luo went to choose a new company address, the route design is still more scientific, first go to the farthest Montauk, from far and near, so that it is more convenient to return.

But when Ye Luo was chosen, it was not so scientific.

Song Yan prepared three alternative record companies for him to acquire, and it stands to reason that Ye Luo would have to watch them all and make a decision after comprehensive consideration.

As a result, as soon as he and Hu Jianing arrived in Montauk, they couldn't move.

Taxis drive along Route 27 as Long Island protrudes from the North American continent, and as it gets farther and farther away from the world's most prosperous cities, the traffic becomes more and more comfortable, and the high-rise buildings are gradually left behind, but what is in front of you is a different scenery.

Entering Montauk, passing a large golf course and a large lake, Highway 27 splits two forest parks. On the left, Montauk State Park, and on the right, Camp Heroes State Park.

At the end of Route 27, in Montauk State Park, which is already the tip of Long Island and can be seen from a distance, stands a majestic lighthouse by the sea, which was built at the end of the 18th century, more than 200 years ago, and is called the Montauk Lighthouse.

Ye Luo wants to buy this record company, which is called Lighthouse Records, a small label, just next to the Montauk Lighthouse.

This record company is relatively old, it started to form 30 years ago, and it used to do country music and jazz.

Since the beginning of the new century, in the music market in New York, these two kinds of music are not very popular, and Lighthouse Records has struggled to support it for more than ten years, and finally the old capital is empty, and it is already insolvent.

New York in the United States today. After years of development in the record industry, the market has already been integrated and fixed, and it is not easy for new record companies to open up the market, so new capital is not very interested in this industry.

It's been more than a year since Lighthouse Records was put up for sale, and no one in the company was willing to take over.

But the lighthouse record this piece of land. There are many people with red eyes.

It's so beautiful, with two lush forest parks in the background, the blue Atlantic Ocean in front of it, and a large lighthouse, and there are many tourists who come to visit every year, just tear down the record company and build a small resort hotel again, and count the money to count the cramps.

Ye Luo got out of the taxi with Hu Jianing and sent the black buddy away with cash. Didn't go to the record company, but went to the lighthouse first.

Ye Luo climbed to the top of the lighthouse, looked at the surrounding scenery, and listened to the sound of the waves crashing on the reef, and the whole person's mind suddenly broadened.

"That's it." Ye Luo said, "The other two don't look at it. ”

"That's what I mean, too." Hu Jianing nodded, "If the equipment doesn't work, you can change it, this scenery." No amount of money can buy it. ”

"Okay, let's go." Ye Luo said. "Let's meet the owner of Lighthouse Records for a while."

After getting off the lighthouse and passing through a forest path, there is the lighthouse record company, which is not large, that is, a row of bungalows, and the house is quite old. When I looked at it, I thought it was a forest guard's cabin.

Ye Luo originally wanted to make a phone call first, but found that the door was unlocked, and it opened as soon as he pushed it, and the door opened as soon as he pushed it. The sound of music inside reached Ye Luo's ears.

There was no one in the door to greet them, so Ye Luo and Hu Jianing followed the sound of music and walked inside.

Passing through the outer room, there is a hallway, and the sound of music comes from the third room on the left hand side of the corridor.

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing glanced at each other, they could hear that this music was not played by the stereo, but unplugged live music, and there were people playing and singing in it.

Then go and take a look, Ye Luo took two steps forward and pushed the door open.

Inside the room, the layout resembles a bar stage, with some wooden tables and chairs placed underneath, and there are a dozen or so audience members seated, all with gray hair, all old men and old ladies.

The bands and singers who are performing on the stage are also gray-haired and not young. The configuration of the band is a typical country band, and the singer is an old white man in his sixties, playing and singing by himself, singing vigorously and tastefully.

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing are both industry insiders, and as soon as they heard it, they knew that they were all experts on the stage, and they were not the same thing as those bands in the Los Angeles night club, so they simply sat down and enjoyed it quietly.

After listening to three songs, the singer seemed to be tired, stood up and bowed to the audience, and a group of old audiences under the stage naturally applauded, and Ye Luo and Hu Jianing also applauded.

"The announcement of this performance was rushed, and I am very grateful that everyone took time out of their busy schedules to enjoy our band's final performance. Okay, my guests have arrived, and that's the end of the show, thank you. ”

The audience stood up, took the stage one after another, hugged the singers and musicians, kissed them, and then reluctantly left.

After the audience left, the musicians also hugged the old singer, everyone was smiling, saying words of blessing in their mouths, but there were tears in their eyes.

When the musicians also left, the old singer walked up to Ye Luo and Hu Jianing and said, "You are Mr. Ye, my name is Juan. Leonard, is the owner of Lighthouse Records. ”

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing stood up and shook hands with Juan, Ye Luo smiled and said, "Mr. Leonard, your skills are really superb, I admire you." ”

Juan smiled: "Thank you." Mr. Ye, let me confirm one thing first, after you buy this record company, will you continue to use this land to make music? ”

"Absolutely." Ye Luo nodded, "I'm here to be a record company." ”

"That's good." Juan said, "Then this record company, I'll give it to you for free." ”

"Huh?" Hu Jianing suspected that he had heard it wrong, but Ye Luo remained silent and waited quietly for Juan. Leonard's following.

"But this land ......," Juan continued, "and now the New York real estate developer has sold 50 million dollars, and I haven't sold it." Because they don't make music.

Mr. Ye Luo, I have a request, the name of Lighthouse Records, please keep it, I will give you this land for free. I only want you 30 million dollars.

This price is the bottom line of the price in my heart, I don't accept counteroffers, what do you think? ”

"Wow, thirty million." Hu Jianing said to Ye Luo in Chinese, "This old man really dares to say, Medivan Records, a Chinese brand, top equipment." It's only 10 million. ”

"It's not the same." Ye Luo said, "Medivan Records does not have land property rights, the office is rented, and his land is his own. He said that it was to sell a record company, but in fact, it was to sell land.

I just took a look at the area outside, the house plus the yard, more than 500 square meters. 60,000 US dollars per square meter, although the price of land in the United States is generally not high. However, this location is unique, and the company's equipment is given away for free, so the overall look is okay, not black. ”

"Then take it?" Hu Jianing asked.

"I'll go discuss it with Song Yan." Ye Luo smiled apologetically at Juan, then got up and walked into the corridor and made a phone call to Song Yan.

"Did it disturb your rest?" After the call is connected. Ye Luo asked first.

"No, I'm compiling the property information." Song Yan's voice came, "What's wrong?" ”

"Montauk is a good house, right next to the lighthouse, and the owner asks for 30 million. There is no counteroffer, including a 500-square-meter plot of land. I think it's okay, or that's it? Ye Luo asked.

"You're the boss, you can take this idea yourself, ask me what I'm doing." Song Yan said quietly, "The three choices I gave you are all very good, any one can be." ”

"That's it." Ye Luo nodded.

"In that case, I can choose a place to live, right on Lake Montauk, how about we live on a yacht?" Song Yan said, "You are from Zhoushan, you should get used to living on a boat, right?" ”

"Ha, I'm so used to it." Ye Luo smiled, "Yes." ”

"There are not so many people in one boat, and Lao Hu and Jinxiu should not be used to living on a boat, so I arranged them in an apartment by the lake. Do you think it's okay? Song Yan asked again.

"You mean, I'm on the same boat as you?" Ye Luo felt wrong when he heard this.

"And Merina." Song Yan said, "I originally wanted to buy three, one for me, you, and Merina, but the yacht is very expensive, more than five million US dollars, so we must leave a little money as a starting capital, and we only brought a total of 40 million US dollars." You buy a record company for 30 million, and I can only save a little bit of where I live.

When I have a little more money, I'll buy you and Mo'er a new yacht, okay? ”

"Five million can buy three very good villas in the United States." Ye Luo didn't say this sentence, and said in his heart that since Merina was also there, it shouldn't be okay, and he lived on a yacht, he hadn't tried it before, so it should be fun, so he responded.

"Alright then, let's settle it for now."

"Okay, then we'll meet at five o'clock in the afternoon by the lake Montauk." Song Yan's tone was slightly excited, "I'll go buy two cars first." ”

Hanging up the phone, Ye Luo walked into the house and said to Juan. Leonard nodded, "Mr. Leonard, we're dealing." ”

"That's good." Juan. A look of relief flashed on Leonard's face, and he stretched out his hand to Ye Luo, "I have seen Mr. Ye Luo's poster in Times Square in New York, and after I heard that you are going to buy Lighthouse Records, I have also listened to your works, and I appreciate your music level." I sincerely hope that Lighthouse Records can be revitalized under your care. ”

Ye Luo with Juan. Leonard shook his hands and said with a smile: "I came to New York, I am a newcomer, and there is no singer in my hand for the time being, I don't know Mr. Leonard, do you have any good recommendations?" ”

"Oh." Juan. Leonard nodded, "Yes."

At the peak of Lighthouse Records' glory, there were originally more than 30 singers under its banner, but it has almost gone in recent years. Now there is still one singer left who has not left, not because he is not good enough, and others don't look down on him. On the contrary, he is talented, highly skilled, sings heartbreaking love songs, is a very good singer, and he is so loyal to the company that no one else can poach him.

Since Mr. Ye Luo is willing to keep the brand of Lighthouse Records, this singer naturally belongs to you, and I also implore Mr. Ye Luo to treat him well. ”

"I will." Ye Luo nodded, "Then tomorrow, let's ask him to meet with me." ”

"Uh......" Juan. Leonard had a little embarrassment on his face, "This singer has some personality, I will build Mr. Yeluo or go by himself, the address where he lives, I can give it to you." (To be continued......)
