Chapter 266: Sources of Funding
() "Zhang Lei, the source of funds for the album, you can consider the plan just mentioned by Datou, and turn the borrowed money you originally envisioned into an investment." But one thing is wrong, you can't invest in this matter alone, but find a way to get all these singers in the salon to participate. Ye Zi slowly recounted his thoughts.
Zhang Lei stopped: "Wait, wait, Xiao Yezi, what do you mean by this investment you talked about with the big head?" ”
Ye Zi smiled slightly: "You know how to do business, right?" The meaning of investment is that you should take money out to do business, although this understanding is not entirely correct, but it is not too much. You understand it this way first, and then let the big head explain it to you, and you will be completely clear. ”
Ye Zi quickly said the concept of investment, and then continued.
"Since you want to invest in business, it must be risky, how can there be a way to make sure that you don't lose money in business, Zhang Lei, right?"
Zhang Lei nodded.
"If you are left to bear this risk alone, you can't afford it at the moment, and a single business failure can bankrupt your family. Even if you make money on your first album, you can't afford to toss a few times. Therefore, this risk should be shared by others. ”
"Xiao Yezi, why should others come to take this risk with me?" Zhang Lei reacted quickly and immediately asked the core content.
"It's very simple, it's because they want to make the same profit as you after success, high profits!"
Without waiting for Zhang Lei to ask again, Ye Zi directly began to explain.
"You were right about what you just thought, it's absolutely profitable to make records at this time, and it's a big profit. Even if an ordinary album made of about 100,000 yuan is possible, it is possible to sell hundreds of thousands or even millions of cassette tapes, and the profit in this is very considerable. ”
"If you want someone to share the risk, you have to let people share the profit when you succeed, and if you want to make a profit, you have to take a certain amount of risk. These two points are complementary and go hand in hand. ”
"Zhang Lei, I think you should be able to figure this out, right?" Ye Zi asked.
Zhang Lei nodded again: "Isn't this the same as doing business in partnership?" ”
"Yes. It can be understood as doing business in partnership. Ye Zi clapped his hands and smiled: "This business is to make albums, and the partners are these singers in the salon." ”
"To put it simply, that's how things work."
Zhang Lei sat there quietly thinking. Cui Zhengguang lowered his voice and whispered in Ye Zi's ear: "Little Yezi." Such...... Will it work? ”
"Give it a try." Ye Zi didn't dare to absolutely guarantee the feasibility of his plan: "No matter how it doesn't work, it's still much better than his plan to borrow money, right?" ”
"That's right." Cui Zhengguang nodded: "However, Lao Zhang is willing to pay for things, and he can accept it if he changes to an investment method." How are you going to get other singers to pay for it? Also, after they come up with the money. How is this money monitored during the production process? Without this guarantee of supervision, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome, right? ”
"These specific things can be solved." Ye Zi also discussed with Cui Zhengguang in an extremely low voice: "The most important thing now is to determine the method of raising funds first, and the rest is easy to say." ”
"Don't be careless!" Cui Zhengguang is learning these things now, and he is very serious: "Negligence in small things is the most important." ”
"Huh? Don't you see, big head, you still have such a careful time? What a rarity! Ye Zi grinned and teased Cui Zhengguang.
"Rub! I've always been so attentive, right? When we used to sell postcards, when did my account not match? On the contrary, your accounts have been uneven, okay? You've always done a lot better in math than I do, so it's so hard to make a statement? Cui Zhengguang immediately fought back.
was exposed by Cui Zhengguang, and Ye Zi's old face turned red. Immediately patted him on the head, and said angrily: "Drink your coffee!" ”
Seeing Ye Zi's rare annoyance, Cui Zhengguang took advantage of the situation to lower his head and laugh. His head rested on the table, his shoulders shrugged and he couldn't help himself.
Zhang Lei raised his head from his contemplation.
"Huh? Big head, what are you doing? Under the weather? Zhang Lei felt strange.
Ye Zi snorted lightly: "Ignore him, he's going crazy." Come, Zhang Lei, let's continue. ”
"Oh, good." Zhang Lei hurriedly focused his attention and stopped thinking about Cui Zhengguang's weird appearance: "Little Yezi." I thought about it just now, and the plan you mentioned has merit, but ...... How do you get these singers to be willing to cooperate? ”
"You just said that doing business is risky, so why do they take money out to do this business?"
Ye Zi had already considered this question.
"It wasn't convincing at first. Then you can only make a model first. If the prototype is successful, there will be people willing to follow suit the next time. Then control the amount of investment to a range that they can afford, such as a thousand yuan, so that some people should be interested in this. Find a few more people to invest, and the funds can be raised. ”
"Xiao Yezi, you want to divide the total amount into small groups for them to invest, right? This option works. "Cui Zhengguang has returned to normal. immediately affirmed the plan proposed by Ye Zi.
"That's a way to go." Zhang Lei nodded, and directly took over the model project: "Xiao Yezi, then use my album to make a model, you have to help me." ”
Ye Zi was secretly moved by Zhang Lei in his heart, not everyone has such courage. Ye Zi had already said just now that he was willing to sign him into the company and help him make an album, but he didn't have the need to be this model.
To be able to make such a choice, Zhang Lei is really willing to do something for these singers in the night show, no matter what his starting point is, this approach has to make Ye Zi give him a thumbs up.
In his previous life, Ye Zi was also mixed in the night scene, and he also knew how much these singers in the night club hoped to publish their own albums, but Ye Zi never thought of doing anything to change the difficult survival situation of these night singers. Compared with Zhang Lei, Ye Zi was deeply ashamed.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you." Ye Zi said very sincerely, this sentence really came from his heart.
"Okay, thank you, little leaf." Zhang Lei was very happy: "How should the specific work be carried out?" ”
Ye Zi thought for a while: "There are many specific steps, and they are also more cumbersome, let me tell you a rough idea first, and I will write a copy for you in two days." ”
"That's the best, Xiao Yezi, you tell me about it first, so that I can have a bottom in my heart."
Ye Zi sent out a circle of cigarettes, lit them, and then continued slowly.
"Let's do a sample first, which I just said, and then I will release the news through the guò salon. In addition to what I just mentioned, this news should also include the following points. ”
"First, the amount of money needed to make this album should be clearly told to everyone, 50,000 is 50,000, 100,000 is 100,000, and it can't be changed."
"Second, set a time limit, such as a month, and let everyone decide whether to invest in the album or not. Zhang Lei, this investment cannot be stipulated, but these singers must voluntarily invest their money. In this way, it is not easy to cause disputes in the future. And if you set a time frame, it's easier to follow-up. When the time comes, if there is enough money to raise, then start to produce the album, and when the time is up, the funds will not be raised, then cancel this plan and return the money that has been raised to the singer who paid for it. ”
"Thirdly, set in advance the proportion of the money raised in the profit of the album, which should be tenable, not too low and not too high. For example, the entire album needs 100,000 yuan, and the singer takes out 50,000 yuan by himself and needs to raise 50,000 yuan. Then after removing the artistic proportion of the singer's singing, it is almost the same to divide it equally. This is just an example, the exact ratio is different for each album, and this needs to be calculated. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Zi paused, took a puff of cigarette, and sorted out his thoughts again.
"Anything else?" Zhang Lei immediately asked.
Listening to Ye Zi's slow narration, Zhang Lei himself was also analyzing. Ye Zi's plan doesn't say anything else, in terms of workability, compared to Zhang Lei's original plan, it is completely different from heaven and earth.
At least so far, Ye Zi's plan is completely feasible.
Now, Zhang Lei is very interested in continuing to listen. (To be continued.) )
