Chapter 189: Warner Records

The foreigner, named Smith, belongs to the prestigious Warner Music Group and is the marketing manager of the Warner Group.

Warner Music Group is one of the world's five largest record groups in the 2O century, and has outstanding achievements in the record industry, but at this time, Warner Music Group's main sales points are European and American countries, and there is no share in Asia.

The American, named Smith, came from the main company in a hurry, only to know that a piano album with very high sales suddenly appeared in the island country, so he came over non-stop, only collecting part of the information of Being, but did not have time to collect the information of the players.

As a result, Smith took it for granted that he should negotiate with Being Music Company for the exercise of rights in other regions, rather than the player of this piano album, which was destined to be sad.

"Oh, buy ga, Mr. Nagado, this joke is not funny at all, even if you want to raise the price, don't use this reason!"

When Nagato revealed that Being Music was the company that played the piano album, Smith naturally wouldn't believe it, thinking that Nagato was playing him, after all, he had never heard of such a thing.

"Mr. Smith, I'm not kidding, and there's no need to lie to you, it's totally true! The owner of this Being music company is not me, but Zhao Chen, the player of this piano album, and you are still collecting last year's news! ”

Hearing Nagato say this, Smith couldn't help but curse the negligence of the employee in charge of collecting information. But in this way, it is inevitable to negotiate with Zhao Chen, and the price paid will naturally exceed the psychological price!

"Then I wonder when this Mr. Zhao Chen will come to work in the company?"

"It's hard to say. The president of our family can be said to have a lot of opportunities, and he also owns a number of large companies with a certain scale, such as a manga club, an animation club, a toy factory, a clothing factory, a media newspaper, and a voice actor office. And there are many more industries outside the island. To be honest, with the assets of our president, I don't care about the money to buy the album, and even if I call him, I may not necessarily come, but I may come in person after hearing Mr. Smith's intention! ”

In order to increase the price, Changhu Daxing can be said to have used some strategies to show the strength that Zhao Chen has, to enhance the corresponding chips.

In fact, Nagato Daiyuki is also quite clear about one thing in his heart. That is, if Being wants to become an international music company, it is impossible in a short period of time, which mainly requires a lot of money. And Zhao Chen's goal is to let Being Music Company use this piano album to win the Asian market first, and the market in the rest of the region will not be considered for the time being, because not to mention that there are no sales channels, and Zhao Chen does not have much fame in those regions.

As Nagato Daiyuki narrated, the surprise on Mr. Smith's face, which was originally quite calm, grew. He couldn't hide it, he didn't expect that a mere pianist would have so many companies of different natures under his umbrella, according to Nagato Daiyuki, this is almost equivalent to crossing the group.

After learning this, Smith felt that it was not good, Zhao Chen owned so many industries. It is obviously not bad for money, and the difficulty of persuasion can be imagined. The most important thing is that he has not collected any information in his hands, and he does not even know anyone, so how can he negotiate normally.

Regarding Mr. Smith's expression, Nagato Daiyuki has seen a lot, and there is no way that Zhao Chen is too powerful.

"Mr. Smith. In fact, before you came, there were also large music companies coming to your door. I want to represent this piano album in other regions! ”

"Mr. Nagato, can you give me some explanation, what music companies are there? It's good to be prepared! ”

When Smith heard the news, he knew that something was wrong, he thought he was the first to come, but listening to Nagato Daiyuki say this, he was afraid that at least a few music companies wanted to represent him, which also made Smith think that he was underestimating this piano album.

"It's a trade secret, but I can't say exactly, including Sony Records!"

Sony Records is a spin-off from the world's oldest Columbia record label and is affiliated with Sony Music Entertainment. After years of growth, it has already become the largest music company in the island country, and belongs to the world's top five music companies with Warner, which shows the strength of Sony.

It's just that Nagato Daiyuki didn't say one thing, that is, when he heard that Sony Records wanted to act as an agent for this piano album in other regions to exercise rights, Nagato Daiyuki asked Zhao Chen at that time, but Zhao Chen directly refused, and there was no room for negotiation.

Among them, there are reasons why Sony Records and Zhao Chen's Being are competitors, but more importantly, Zhao Chen does not like to cooperate with island companies, and how can he give up this opportunity to open up the market and grow for Sony Records.

If this piano album is handed over to Sony Records, it will undoubtedly expand the momentum of Sony Records, and there will be a lot of profit margins, and Zhao Chen would never think of this kind of rival idea. If Being Music wants to become the largest music company in the island country, Sony Records is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle.

However, Nagato Daiyuki is quite treacherous, how can he say that Sony Records was rejected, I'm afraid even if Smith goes to investigate, it's useless, after all, Sony Records will not publicize this matter, otherwise it will lose face.

"Sony Records! Mr. Nagado, please give me some time, I need to consult the headquarters on this matter! I also hope to be able to meet Mr. Zhao Chen, I am very grateful! ”

As the marketing manager of Warner Records, Smith naturally has some authority. From the beginning, when he heard that the island country had released a piano album that set a record, Warner naturally hoped to obtain the agency, but because the head office was in the United States, and Zhao Chen had no reputation in the United States, he naturally couldn't collect Zhao Chen's information in a short period of time, thinking that Zhao Chen was a newcomer.

But after listening to Nagato Daiyuki's explanation, Smith knew that it was his wishful thinking before, and he didn't expect Zhao Chen to be a pianist who was not bad for money. And if you rank the youngest richest person in the world, you will definitely be in the list, or the self-made kind, and there is still considerable room for growth in the future.

After Smith left in a hurry, Nagato Daiyuki raised his eyebrows and lay on the sand to relax, but unfortunately the secretary didn't let him go.

"Chairman, there's a person out there who claims to be in charge of Universal Music and wants to see you!"

"Ahem, why is it the world's top five music companies, please let him in!" Nagato Daiyuki looked helpless, but not to mention how proud he was, this was his most proud day in decades, when he thought of so many well-known record companies crying and shouting to ask for agency rights, and crying grandpa told grandma that he wanted to meet Zhao Chen, it was strange that he was unhappy, after all, the current Nagato Daiyuki is only the chairman of a small and medium-sized music company, and he has never seen anything in the world.

It's just that when the person in charge of Universal Music introduced himself, Nagato Daiyuki suddenly became surprised, the reason was not anything else, but the identity of the person who came, and the person who came was Renault, the current vice president of Universal Music!

Although it is only a vice president, Universal Music belongs to the world's five major music companies, and its status is naturally far from being comparable to that of Being Music Company. And being able to dispatch a vice president naturally means that there is enough sincerity, at least much better than the previous Sony, and has more rights!

"Hello, Mr. Renault, please be seated!" Nagato Daiyuki didn't slack off at all, and after shaking hands with the golden-eyed Renaud with a smile on his face, he introduced him into the seat.

Unlike Smith, who was a bit rude before, Renault was a native French with elegant manners, and this was mainly due to the fact that Universal Music was based in France.

"Mr. Nagato, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Me too, I didn't expect Mr. Renault to come in person! If I knew about it, I would have gone out to greet him. ”

"Mr. Nagado is too polite, in fact, I don't hide it from Mr. Nagato, this time I came mainly because of Mr. Zhao Chen's piano album, I don't know if Mr. Zhao Chen is in the company?"

As the vice president of Universal Music, Renault can mobilize far more people than Smith, and Zhao Chen established a branch in France at the beginning of the year, so he naturally knows more.
