Chapter 458: The Loser Girl
Ye Luo's life in the United States, after a period of adaptation, finally stepped into a stable track.
I get up at six o'clock every morning, go outside for two laps, come back at half past six to make breakfast, and then go to knock on the glass windows in two directions to get the girls in the two rooms up.
After breakfast, I went to the company and made music. Take a nap at noon, continue to be busy with music affairs in the afternoon, and then take half an hour to listen to Nicole Wang's report on the construction of Dream Overseas Company in the conference room.
I get off work at five o'clock in the afternoon, go to the supermarket to buy groceries, and go home to cook. After dinner, go to the health club to receive a Marina devilish body sculpting training.
After taking a shower at ten o'clock in the evening, before going to bed, I took out Chu Mo'er's photo to take a look, and if this didn't alleviate the thoughts in my heart, I would make a call.
Finally, I hung up the thread in the soft goodnight sound of my fiancΓ©e and fell asleep contentedly.
The days went on like this, day by day. The regular life has brought Ye Luo almost infinite energy and amazing work efficiency.
Angel Boy's "Mylover" quickly caught the attention of major label labels after selling an astonishing six million copies in the California music market.
But the performance after this record has little to do with Universal. Because the record operation of the big label is directly in contact with the Chinese label, that is, Moonlight Records, which has the right to operate this record in California.
As for the small label of Universal, the more advanced market income can only be extracted from a very small proportion of the moonshine, anyway, there is, but not much, and the water is long-term.
Ye Luo was too lazy to worry about these small amounts of money anymore, so he asked Song Yan to ask Yueguang to finish the matter with a copyright buyout fee.
This record is directly sold in Los Angeles. Global made a profit of $3 million, and the California joint venture, Global made a profit of $6 million, plus a $1 million buyout fee, a net profit of $10 million.
This income, Ye Luo felt that it was almost there. After all, Universal is just a small label, and it is definitely an industry miracle that a record can make so much.
A month is not a long time, but it is not a short time.
Ye Luo's own dream record overseas branch officially opened on the 19th floor of the Elvin Building in Los Angeles, USA.
Sha Fuhai is very attentive this time, after all, all his belongings are now pressed on Ye Luo.
Sha went to the sea to draw out the most elite team at present. Settled in the Elvin Building.
This team has music people, as well as professional managers, including financial personnel and legal personnel, a total of 16 people, not many people, but they are all elite soldiers.
These people will be Ye Luo's subordinates from now on.
Ye Luo is the president of Dream Overseas, because he promised Song Yan. The office can't be moved, so he can only control it remotely on the fiftieth floor. And his spokesperson is the new assistant to the president of Dream Overseas Company, Nicole Wang.
"After this toss, how much money do we have in our hands?" Ye Luo sat in the president's office of the newly completed Dream Overseas Branch and asked slowly.
This office has just been renovated, and it smells of formaldehyde. Fortunately, Ye Luo didn't have to stay long, he had to go back to the fiftieth floor immediately.
"Decoration, staff accommodation, first month's salary, utility bills, one year's property rent, ......" Wang Nicole sat opposite Ye Luo, and counted Ye Luo with her fingers, "Boss, we only have less than two million dollars left." β
"Two million......" Ye Luo nodded. It doesn't seem like much. β
"yes." Wang Nicole said with a sad face, "And at the moment, the sales channels in the local market are still blocked."
Medivan Records went out of business, and we inherited the distribution rights, but the record store didn't buy our account.
I've inquired that if a new record company like ours wants to have a record on the shelves in the store, it has to pay a listing fee to the store first. β
"How much?"
"It's different for every family, and the average is about $10,000 a piece." Wang Nicole said.
"Ho, it's so dark." Ye Luo rolled his eyes, there are more than 150 record stores in Los Angeles, and if they are all opened, 1.5 million US dollars will be gone.
It is no wonder that Chen Tianhua has been operating here for a year, and he has only opened up sales channels for more than 60 stores for Universal, just because it is expensive.
"It's a one-time thing, as long as you pay them, you will manage it for the rest of your life, unless we go out of business, or they go out of business." "Boss, I've been doing a survey recently to see how many homes are appropriate. β
"There is no need to investigate this, the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, so let's use the global sales store directory. Lao Chen's vision is very poisonous, his choice must be the most cost-effective, and he can't be wrong. Ye Luo said.
"Oh." Nicole Wang nodded.
"Okay, I haven't dreamed much lately, and the singer hasn't yet." Ye Luo instructed, "Those who make zuΓ², they don't have to do anything else every night, just go to the major music bars and nightclubs in Los Angeles to play, at public expense, feel the music atmosphere here, and if you meet a singer who fits your eyes, find me for an interview."
As for the manager, just go to open up sales channels, Los Angeles is quite large, more than 60 record stores, and it will not be able to run in a few days.
Global sales directory, I will ask Song Yan to come over in a moment, fax a copy to you. β
After speaking, Ye Luo left the dream overseas and got into the elevator.
Dream Overseas is established, but it is a waste to be revived, and it is not a way to rush now, so take your time.
Back on the fiftieth floor, Ye Luo walked into the office and sat down in his place.
Song Yan was also there today, and when she saw Ye Luo coming back, she asked, "Xiao Qiong's record, can it be released?" The manufacturer's record has been filled, and the first batch of one million copies is just waiting for your order to be released tomorrow. β
"It's okay, let's release it tomorrow." Ye Luo waved his hand, and then scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
Xiang Song Yan took the directory of the record store at the beginning, this matter is not a problem in terms of the relationship between the two, but this is also a trade secret after all, so it seems a bit abrupt to ask directly.
Ye Luo was thinking about what topic to lead over, but he didn't expect Song Yan to open her office drawer, take out a copy of the text, and hand it to Ye Luo.
"What is this?" Ye Luo was a little strange, opened it and looked at it, stunned.
This is a very detailed report on Los Angeles record stores, from the usual customer traffic, to the sales results of each music category in each record store, and the sales report of the last ten years.
"The one with the red circle is the one that Uncle Chen is more optimistic about." Song Yan said, "If you dream of overseas record sales channels, just follow this, and don't have to take detours." β
This is really a pillow when you are sleepy, Ye Luo nodded: "Thank you." β
"Actually, I think that the global overseas and the dream overseas are now up to you. Why divide it into two? Song Yan said softly, "Just put it together, and you don't have to run at both ends." β
Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Song Yan: "You're not kidding?" β
Song Yan looked directly at Ye Luo calmly: "Do you think I'm joking?" β
"Don't make a fuss." Ye Luo's expression straightened, "You give me ten percent of the shares, and your father will exile you to the United States, if you merge Global Overseas with Dream Overseas, if you make a claim for such a big thing, Lao Song still has to faint in anger?"
When the time comes, what should I do if I arrest you back to China and find a second-generation official to marry? β
"So you still care about me." Song Yan smiled at the corner of her mouth, and her chin raised slightly.
"It's not." Ye Luo hurriedly clarified, "We finally have a tacit understanding at work, and I think it's quite troublesome to change people." β
Song Yan glanced at Ye Luo, as if she was discerning whether he was telling the truth or a lie, and then smiled slightly: "My dad will agree." β
"Why did he agree?" Ye Luo couldn't turn a corner.
"Because I sent him last month's company statement. I also said that I would like to merge with Dream Overseas Company. Song Yan said lightly, "The principal of 100,000 US dollars, the net income of 10 million US dollars a month, what I say now is reasonable." β
"It's hard to have a good watch, and you don't know how to stop." Ye Luo shook his head, "I just finished giving away the shares, and now I want to merge with someone else, if I am Lao Song, you will be a loser, and you have no future in business, hurry up and go home and have a grandson to play." β
As she was talking, Song Yan's mobile phone rang, and when she saw the name on the mobile phone screen, her whole body shook slightly, and then she immediately picked it up: "Dad...... Okay, I got it. β
After hanging up the phone, Song Yan turned her head and asked Ye Luo: "Among the people who dream of coming this time, is there a business lawyer?" β
"What?"
"If there is, the company merger negotiations can start tomorrow." Song Yan smiled, "My father agreed." β
"No, Lao Song is turning too fast." Ye Luo felt that his face was beaten painfully, and as soon as he finished speaking, he snapped on the ground, making him very faceless, "How can there be no principles at all?" β
"That's why he's the top three richest people in the country." Song Yan said proudly, "Without this kind of vision and courage, how can he succeed?" (To be continued......)
