Chapter 217: Negotiation
In the small reception room on the third floor of the Yafan Celebration, the oval conference table is hollowed out in the middle, filled with various flowers, making the room full of vitality.
Liu Yufan sat by the window, and on his left hand was lawyer Huang Lan, who had opened the notebook in front of her very professionally and entered the working state.
On the other side, there is Li Yi and Ji Yun, both of whom have a beautiful fruit bowl in front of them, which is filled with various colors of fresh fruits, exuding attractive colors, but obviously, neither of them has any intention at this moment. Although they are quiet on the surface, in fact, both of them are thinking about the details of the next negotiation in their hearts.
Strictly speaking, this is not a formal business negotiation, and normally speaking, there will not be two companies that are interested in signing a contract sitting together and facing each other in this "competitive" posture, but usually talking separately. Each party comes up with its own acceptable conditions, and then the other party finally confirms cooperation with either party.
It's just that this negotiation is not strict, and Li Yi and Ji Yun are not professional negotiators of the company, but only sign the song on behalf of the company. And relatively speaking, both of them have some discretion, and within certain conditions or quotas, they can make their own decisions, so they have a greater degree of freedom, so they don't care too much about this process.
Looking at the two record company representatives sitting opposite, Liu Yufan was a little nervous for no reason. He's good at music, but it's the first time a big girl has been in a sedan chair.
Seeing that Liu Yufan was silent, although the two of them were a little strange in their hearts, they didn't want to ask anything, but when he was also thinking about the next negotiation in his heart, how did he know that he was still nervous!
"Liu~~ Total, do you think we can start now?" Li Yi felt a little awkward when he called Liu Yufan, the guy in front of him was younger than himself, and he was still a student, but at this moment he appeared on such a formal occasion, which made him feel a little emotional in his heart, but also a little weird. But this sentence "Mr. Liu" is not bad, people already have a company, oh no, it's two, listen to my old sister, this guy is still running a computer game room, I really don't know where he got so much energy and such a keen sense of business, these two are currently money-making projects. Don't look at the fact that he works in Yanjing, and he is also the vice president of a company, but the actual income is much worse than others, which can't help but make Li Yi's heart a little depressed.
But at the moment, he was negotiating, and he couldn't help thinking about these things. Seeing Liu Yufan sitting there without speaking, he couldn't help but remind him a little anxious.
Li Yi's sentence calmed Liu Yufan's emotions, realizing that it was his seller's market at the moment, and the tension just now faded a lot.
Chong nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's start." Well, Mr. Li, you came first, let you talk about it first, Mr. Ji, you have no opinion on me doing this. Liu Yufan said, smiling at Ji Yun.
"Of course not, Mr. Liu, you don't have to be polite." Ji Yun nodded at Liu Yufan with a smile, indicating that he didn't care. has talked about so many lists, and the acquisition of this single at the moment is just a small case for her.
Liu Yufan smiled at her, and then looked at Li Yi, looking forward to his next step.
"Mr. Liu, regarding this acquisition, the sincerity of our Times Records is very sufficient, in view of the fact that your last work "On the Moon" was put on the market, the response was relatively good, our company decided to provide you with the standard of signing a contract with first-line singers in the industry this time, according to the maximum amount of 80,000 yuan for a single song, buy out all the copyrights of "New Kangding Love Song" at one time, what do you think?" Li Yi is also simply, although this is not the bottom line of his negotiation this time, it is also a quite high price. Spending 80,000 yuan for the buyout of a single is indeed enough sincerity for a small record company.
However, when Liu Yufan heard this number, he just smiled and didn't say anything special.
Indeed, now 80,000 yuan is really not a large amount for him, not to mention the Yafan Celebration, which he now holds 40% of the shares, brings him an income of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a month, even the game hall that has not been taken care of is enough to bring him an income of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month. 80,000 yuan, for him, is just more than a month's income, and the difference between there and not is not big. He himself is very satisfied with this work, and his greatest wish is to be better promoted through the record company, and as for making money, it is secondary.
Liu Yufan was noncommittal, but turned his gaze to Ji Yun next to him.
"Manager Ji, I don't know what you mean?" Liu Yufan said with a smile.
Seeing Liu Yufan's calm momentum, Ji Yun was slightly stunned, so calm and clear, he was either a veteran negotiator, or he was full of confidence in his own things. Liu Yufan is obviously not the former, so there is no doubt that he is very confident in his song. In fact, after listening to "New Kangding Love Song" just now, Ji Yun knew that it was basically impossible to sign this song without the other party knowing the value of this song. Such an excellent piece of light music, I believe the author himself knows the value of the piece better than them. Their advantage is only their familiarity with the channels of business operations.
"Mr. Liu, the sincerity of our Rolling Stone is also very sufficient, just now Mr. Li also said that he is willing to use the industry's first-line standards to buy out the copyright of your "New Kangding Love Song", we also mean the same, and we can pay 100,000 yuan, this price, even if it is the industry's first-line signing standard, is already very high. And the advantages of our Rolling Stone company in the record industry, I am sure you have also heard of it. Signing a contract with Rolling Stone can make your work get rapid promotion in a very short period of time, which is definitely very beneficial to enhance the popularity of your work. I think that if you choose us, the popularity of your work in the circle will definitely soar rapidly. Ji Yun said without hurry, but with a calm and unhurried bearing, obviously he had full confidence in his company.
Listening to Ji Yun's words, Li Yi couldn't help but nod secretly. The gap between his company and Rolling Stone is too obvious, and for this negotiation, since Ji Yun came here, he didn't have much hope. If Rolling Stone really wants this work, the conditions given must be something that Liu Yufan can't refuse, and their company can't afford it.
Take Ji Yun's words just now, Li Yi has no confidence to say it. Both of them know that the Liu in front of them is always not bad for money, the difference between 80,000 and 100,000 is not big, if necessary, Times Records can even give it higher, after all, from the point of view of this song itself, it is worth a higher price. But people's "sales channel" blocked Li Yi to death. Yes, compared to the sales channels of Rolling Stone, my own company has no advantage at all. Times Records is a third-rate company, and its records cover a wide range, mainly in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and the area radiating to the surrounding areas is only a few provinces, but it can be easily promoted to the whole of Asia. Of course, whether to give this single such a big promotion depends on the mood of the head office, the woman in front of her can't be the master, but she can undoubtedly talk about this, and she can't refute it yet.
Thinking of this, Li Yi was a little depressed.
Hearing the number of 100,000 quoted by Rolling Stone, Liu Yufan also didn't react, but when he heard Ji Yun's sales channel, he nodded lightly.
Rolling Stone is a record giant, and he knows that. I have to say that Ji Yun's last sentence just now brought him a lot of temptation. What he lacks now is fame, and what the other party gives is exactly what he wants.
"Do you want to say yes?" Liu Yufan's heart was a little entangled, to be honest, this result is already very good, but people always seem to be greedy, and he always feels that such a result still can't satisfy him.
Thinking about the starting point novels I had read before, the part about business, especially how to negotiate, the word "divided" suddenly broke into my mind.
"Yes, a surname buyout, although it seems to get a lot of money, but it has nothing to do with myself in the future, my last song sold so well, this one must be no worse, maybe there will be more, in this case, instead of selling his surname to others once, why not share it yourself?" Thinking of this, Liu Yufan turned sideways and asked Lawyer Huang, who had been recording beside him just now, "Lawyer Huang, I have a question for you." I wonder if I can directly invest in the record company's share of the sales of the song in the form of the copyright of the work? ”
Seeing that Liu Yufan suddenly asked this question to herself, Huang Lan was not surprised, she nudged her glasses, and looked at Liu Yufan with a little more approval in her eyes. The young man didn't seem to have more than just music in his head, and it was rare for him to think of this pattern. Although I don't know music, if a song sells well, it will undoubtedly be more in line with the principle of profit to adopt this method.
"Mr. Liu, the sharing model you just mentioned is of course possible, and there are many precedents in the industry." Lawyer Huang did not say too much, as a lawyer, every sentence must be very cautious, and they understand the truth that if you say too much, you will lose. Therefore, after just reminding Liu Yufan, she stopped talking.
"What do you think, two?" After Liu Yufan got a positive answer, he asked the two Dao opposites with a smile.
Hearing that Liu Yufan proposed this model, the two of them were stunned, and then fell into thought
