Volume 1 Chapter 187 Target New Art Treasure

Zhu Zhishan did not disappoint him, and in just over two hours, dozens of Hong Kong record company materials were placed on Lin Xiaozhi's desk.

"Universal, PolyGram, Warner, Columbia, EMI ......"

Zhu Zhishan looked at Lin Xiaozhi and almost didn't look at it, directly picked out five materials and threw them aside at random, and asked curiously: "Why did you pick out these five record companies." PolyGram has now become the record company with the highest market share in Hong Kong, although EMI has declined in Hong Kong in recent years, but the market share is still about 10%, and the rest of Universal, Warner and Columbia have just entered Hong Kong in recent years, but they are all world-class record giants, and their strength should not be underestimated"

"I know the way"

Lin Xiaozhi continued to sort out the information without raising his head, these few years are the most powerful time for PolyGram in Hong Kong, Polygram Records accounts for about 18% of the market in Hong Kong, and it also has a record company under its name - New Yibao Records, which accounts for about the left and right share, and the two companies have joined forces to occupy the market, which is slightly higher than the share of Warner, which has developed rapidly in Hong Kong in recent years.

EMI, known as the world's fifth-largest record giant, is now in decline not only in Hong Kong but also in Europe, with Hong Kong's market share falling by about 10%, or even lower. This record company has recently encountered the most unacceptable thing, taking off its pants and almost going to bed, saying that it is going to merge with Momoyo, Columbia Records was NTR by the Japanese, how miserable. The world has just entered Hong Kong in recent years, because of the arrogance of big-nosed foreigners, it is obviously impossible to mix in Hong Kong, and now the market share is only, and the Hong Kong branch has been rumored to be canceled this year, and the business is merged into the Taiwan branch.

As for the Sony consortium of Japan, which has just announced that it has spent 100 million US dollars to acquire Columbia Records, it is now busy merging with the Japanese, and Columbia Records has made the same mistake in Hong Kong as Universal, underestimating the difference between Cantonese and the Chinese they know, so that the market share in Hong Kong is almost zero.

The reason why Lin Xiaozhi picked out the information of these companies without looking at it is entirely because these record giants are less than a billion US dollars in market value, and the market value of nearly tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars makes Lin Xiaozhi unable to raise any thoughts at all, just because what he wants now is not simply to cooperate with a certain record company to complete the post-production of the film, but simply hopes to spend money to acquire a record company.

It took a few minutes to sort out dozens of documents, Lin Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief, took out the handkerchief that Li Jiaxin bought for him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and gradually showed a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhu. There are twenty-seven documents here, and it's rare that you can get them in such a short time."

Zhu Zhishan said modestly, "Some of them were collected in advance when we said that we were going to consider releasing the original soundtrack of the movie, and some of them were directly transferred to ATV because it was too hasty, and the information of most of the record companies here was not complete, only a piece of paper and a summary."

Lin Xiaozhi nodded, picked up a piece of paper and quickly swept it through the ten lines, he knew that Zhu Zhishan was indeed right, and many of the so-called record company materials here only have one piece of paper. On paper, there are only the names of the company's top executives, well-known artists and Hong Kong market share, and there is really not much detailed information. But in such a short period of time, he can get so many things, and he can be regarded as satisfied.

This time, "Killer Leon" found someone to score for the company, which gave Lin Xiaozhi a head-on blow, and the little spark of complacency that had just risen in people's hearts was extinguished. 89 is in the golden age of Hong Kong films, the strong and strong are rising, billions of capital from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea flow in and out of Hong Kong, I can't say that one day a powerful film company may emerge, and I can't say who he accidentally offended again, and was blocked by the enemy.

For example, this time, Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui, and Lun Yongliang are reluctant to score for Xinya, and they will not be able to find a more suitable soundtrack for a while.

This must not be allowed to happen again, and New Asia must have its own soundtrack team

This thought has been tumbling in his mind for the past few days, and he was still hollowing out his head and thinking about what well-known soundtrack artists there are in the Hong Kong film industry.

He wants to buy a record company to provide high-quality film soundtracks for New Asia in the future, and he can also use his previous plan to release the high-quality soundtracks that appear in the movies into the original songs of the films.

To buy a record company is not Lin Xiaozhi's imagination. Just as there are few film companies with assets of more than 100 million yuan in the Hong Kong film industry, there are not a few record companies with assets of more than 100 million yuan in the Hong Kong record industry, and only a dozen or so coefficients are foreigners, and none of the dozens of local Hong Kong record companies have assets of more than 100 million.

This is not surprising, you must know that Lu Dao can buy a real estate in Hong Kong at this time, purely in terms of monetary value and purchasing power, 100 million Hong Kong dollars in 89 years is worth more than 1 billion or even 1.5 billion yuan in 13 years. Until the later generations of the Chinese-speaking world, there were not a few record companies with a scale of more than one billion yuan, and it is not surprising that Hong Kong is now full of record companies with assets of no more than tens of millions.

picked out those giants who were not at the same level as him Lin Xiaozhi at all, and the rest were easy to choose.

The remaining 22 film companies were then screened and classified for a second time, and those belonging to Singapore, Taiwan and Japan were singled out, and a number of strong Asian record labels such as Sea Butterfly, Rolling Stone, and Ai Hui were quickly excluded, leaving only a dozen local record companies.

"Li's Records, Feitu Records, Era Records, Times Records, Tessen Records, Entertainment Records, Huaxing Records, Xinyibao Records, Diamond Records, ......"

After he eliminated a record company with a copy, the only thing left for him to buy was these dozen record companies.

"......" Zhu Zhishan did not leave, and kept standing beside him and watching Lin Xiaozhi exclude one powerful record company after another, his face became more and more strange. If he is young, he is not a person who can hold back his words, so he immediately asks if he has doubts in his heart, "Among these record companies, except for Xinyibao, Huaxing and Entertainment Records, there is no strength, do we Xinya choose to cooperate with them?"

"It's not a partnership, it's an acquisition"

Lin Xiaozhi didn't say a word back, and took a serious look at the data of the more than a dozen record companies.

Period Records and Times Records were the first to be excluded, and these two record companies can be said to be the wonders of the Hong Kong record industry, and they are the Hong Kong subsidiaries of Li Records, a subsidiary of Sony Records of Japan. Among them, the only signed artists of Times Records are 'Su Yongkang, with' Xia Shaosheng,; Under the name of Era Records, there are only ± Zhentao, 'Guo Xiaolin,' Zhou Meiyin,' Dai Yunhui, four people, and the two record companies plus Xinli Records together have only one share in the Hong Kong record market, which is all due to Su Yongkang and Zhong Zhentao. Xinli's parent company Sony is not short of money, and recently the Japanese have just acquired the old record company Columbia, and there is no need to think about pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, let alone just a few artists, he can't look down on it.

Leigh's record was also immediately excluded by him, and this record company originally belonged to Leigh's TV station, which is now ATV. That's right, this Li's record is ATV's subordinate record company, which specializes in releasing records for well-known artists under ATV's name, and there are so many signed artists. Recently, the former senior management of ATV sold Xinya Film Company to him, which has caused many people to be dissatisfied, unless the head of ATV's senior management is kicked by the donkey, otherwise even if this record company loses money every year, and the market share of Hong Kong records is not even enough, they will not be able to sell it to themselves.

Huaxing Records is a record company under H, and it is of the same nature as Li's. However, it is much stronger than Li's records, as the record company with the highest market share in Hong Kong, relying on the fact that TVB's subordinates almost include nearly seventy percent of the number of artists in Hong Kong, Huaxing Records' market share is as high as the only local record company with a market value closest to 100 million yuan club. This is undoubtedly Lin Xiaozhi's most satisfying one, but let's not talk about whether his money is enough to buy, even if it is enough to buy, H is not necessarily willing to let it go.

Feitu Records ruled it out after just one glance, Ye Yuqing's brother Ye Zhiming's company, with the title of a record company, is actually engaged in Kara, and now there are still several artists, all of which are tossed by the copyright of songs bought from other record companies. Disheng Records is also a wonder, the record company under the name of the famous brand king Pan Disheng, after 85 years of Hong Kong after the new art city and Polygram joined forces to establish the new art treasure record. At that time, Pan Disheng, the famous brand king who was ambitious to be a movie tycoon, also spent money to poach Chen Baiqiang, the king of the music world, and teamed up with EMI Records to create this Disheng Record.

It's a pity that Pan Disheng's enthusiasm quickly faded, and at the beginning of this year, the awesome Disheng record company only had Chen Baiqiang as a signed singer. It is said that Baidai has been in a very stiff relationship with Pan Disheng recently, and Chen Baiqiang's contract will expire at the end of this year, Chen Baiqiang, who has been fooled by the famous brand king for several years and suffered a heavy blow in his career, may leave without accident, and he, the king of the music world, is not worried about leaving home, with his millions of fans in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, dozens of record companies do not mind signing him with a lot of money.

Lin Xiaozhi hesitated for a while before solemnly putting aside the information of Di Sheng Records. This record company is a leather bag, but the only two singers are first-line singers, and if the famous brand king is not expensive, he doesn't mind taking it down.

Diamond Records was founded in the sixties, is one of the old record companies in Hong Kong, but in recent years it has declined very quickly, and there are only a few signed artists left, but it has just been acquired by Polygram at a price of nine million, excluding entertainment records is also one of the old record companies in Hong Kong, although it has Wen Zhaolun, Wang Mingquan and other big stars under its name, but this record company focuses on the old Cantonese opera, and the Hong Kong market share is only 4 Lin Xiaozhi directly excluded.

After quickly reading more than a dozen copies of the information of local record companies, Lin Xiaozhi rubbed his eyes and lit a cigarette for himself.

Now in front of him is only the last one, and it is also the information of the record company that he thinks has the most potential acquisition and acquisition value, Xin Yibao.

"Are we really going to buy a record company?"

Zhu Zhishan came back to his senses for a long time, and the joy on his face looked happier than Lin Xiaozhi

"Well, I keep repeating that the company will become bigger and stronger, but it's not just an empty slogan. Buying a record company is just the first step, and in the future we will have our own printing company, special effects production company, and film props company......"

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Zhishan was panting like a cow, his face was red as blood with excitement, and the yearning in his eyes seemed to be eager for that day to come immediately.

A cigarette was quickly smoked, and Lin Xiaozhi thought seriously for a while and finally made a decision. Now there are only four materials in front of him, namely Li's records, Huaxing records, Disheng records and Xinyibao records.

"The most suitable for our company should be Xinyibao Records, Huaxing Records is big, but it is the record company under our old rival H, and the price may not be low. But we can't give up a little hope, Xiao Zhu, you will immediately bring someone over to contact Huaxing to see if they have any intention of selling...... Li's record is also true, although many high-level executives within ATV now have opinions about Xinya being sold to me at a low price, and I estimate that the possibility of acquisition is also very low, but I still have to contact it. On the side of Disheng Records, I will personally call Mr. Cen of Debao and ask him to help ask Pan Disheng about his intentions...... As for Xinyibao, I'll contact Xinyicheng myself."

New Art Treasure Records is a record company established by New Arts City and Polygram in 85 years, and each of them accounts for half of the shares of the record company, and is one of many record companies in Hong Kong. Among the dozens of local record companies in Hong Kong, strictly speaking, Xin Yibao should be the one with the highest sex comparison, with Zhang Guorong under his name, HD Band, 'Happy Girl Group, three pillars, and at the same time signed a mainland girl with a temporary reputation but called 'Wang Fei', which makes this record company not only have a present but also a future.

At the beginning of the year, it is said that PolyGram's Hong Kong branch called the new art city company, which has the management rights of the new art city, to express its anger. After comprehensive consideration, Lin Xiaozhi will put the new Yibao record in the first place in his heart that can be acquired by the record company.
