Volume 1 Chapter 196 New Yibao Records

There is also Warner Records, which has developed rapidly in Hong Kong in recent years, and has replaced EMI and Polygram as the foreign record label with the highest market share and market share in Hong Kong. Seeing that his contract as the king of music has expired, how can he not be targeted, among the several record companies that he has contacted at present, it is Warner Records' conditions that make him the most excited and satisfied.

"No" Chen Jiaying shook his head, "Warner's side seems to have decided that we will definitely sign with them, and I have not made any progress in talking to them in the past few times, and the conditions offered are still those ones." Momoyo has raised the treatment again, but they are used to being stingy, and now they are still not as sincere as Warner. There are only two things that have changed recently, and Polygram Records has recently approached me and seems to be interested in signing you. And one that you wouldn't expect, your new owner is back."

"Is that the rebel from a wealthy family?"

Chen Baiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "What can he do when he comes back, can he offer better conditions than Warner?" But what's the situation on PolyGram's side, haven't they already signed their second brother through New Yibao Records in Hong Kong? ”

The second brother in his mouth is Zhang Guorong, as the three hottest and most famous male singers in Hong Kong since the 80s, although the fans of Alan Tam, Zhang Guorong, and Chen Baiqiang are not only attacking each other, and even the media likes to compare the three of them, but the three of them do have good personal friends, and even call each other brothers according to their age. Chen Baiqiang is the youngest and the eldest of the three.

When Chen Jiaying heard that he didn't care about his current new owner at all, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at him and said, "Why, I don't care about your new owner at all." Danny, I'm telling you, it's not good. Even if we are leaving, we can't leave gossip for others. Before, you were too soft-natured, and you were too good at fabricating facts for those unscrupulous media to bully casually. ”

mentioned being bullied by the media, Chen Baiqiang's face darkened. He opened his mouth, but said nothing. Chen Jiaying looked uncomfortable, after her husband died, she put all her energy into work, since she accidentally became Chen Baiqiang's agent a few years ago, she has always regarded this ignorant and immature little man as her own brother, and sometimes she is also troubled by his gloomy attitude to life and withdrawn nature, always thinking that he can change.

But at this time, seeing that Chen Baiqiang's mood suddenly turned bad, she was a little strange, so she had to sigh and turn the topic in other directions, not going to mention this matter again.

"Okay, okay, your sister Ying doesn't want to blame you. It's just that this time I'm here, and I did bring you two pieces of good news that I don't know if it's good news, and it's basically related to your new owner. How about it, would you like to hear it? ”

Lopez came over with a cup of freshly heated milk and a cup of freshly brewed green tea, she had already figured out Chen Baiqiang's temperament, and knew that he liked to drink milk at night. Sure enough, as soon as Chen Baiqiang saw the hot milk, he thanked her with a smile and said, "Aunt Qian, you go and rest first, you are not needed here."

"Good guy, boss"

Lopez replied happily, placed the tray on the table, said goodnight to the two of them, and then returned to his room to get ready to rest.

As soon as she left, Chen Baiqiang took a sip of the hot milk he had just delivered, let out a comfortable breath, and said, "Lin Xiaozhi?" I didn't pay much attention to the new owner, I suffered a loss in Disheng Records before, Sister Ying, didn't you also remind me that I can't sign a contract with such a small record company in the future, and I can only go to that kind of large record company? Why do you seem to be hesitant to leave today? ”

"You're smart, but you just don't like to use your brain," Chen Jiaying said to him angrily, and then took a sip of the green tea that the Filipino maid had just brewed, and then continued: "Look at you yawning one yawn after another, I won't talk nonsense with you." Today, Xinya sent someone to contact me, and it seems that he wants to renew your contract, and the conditions offered are very sincere, only slightly inferior to Warner Records. Moreover, during the conversation, I also heard a rumor from New Asia, which made me shake a little. ”

Chen Baiqiang was curious, "What rumors?" ”

"New Asia is in contact with New Art City to acquire New Art Treasure Records under the name of New Art City. The tycoon's ambitions seem to be not only to buy a Disheng record company to make up for the company's shortcomings, but they also want to get involved in the record market. ”

Chen Jiaying's eyebrows fluttered when he said this, and when he saw the surprise on his face, he said: "I didn't believe it very much, but through some connections, I found out that the wealthy man Kuo Shao recently not only quoted the price of Xinyibao Records, but also contacted Huaxing Records, intending to acquire Huaxing Records, but was categorically rejected by Huaxing. I can assure you that this news is correct, the news comes from a former subordinate of my husband, who is now a vice president of Huaxing Records. ”

"What?"

Originally, it was only as gossip, but this time he heard that his new owner was still thinking about H's subordinate Huaxing Records, and Chen Baiqiang was also taken aback. Huaxing Records is different from the current Disheng Records, which is a record company with the highest market share in Hong Kong, with a large number of signed artists and singers under its name. His current new owner has come into contact with Huaxing Records, which seems to be menacing and full of momentum, no wonder his agents are moved by this.

Because of Chen Jiaying's past, Chen Baiqiang did not doubt that her husband was once a high-level TVH executive, and her relationship with Huaxing. But he was cheated by Di Sheng Records, and now he is very suspicious, and he doesn't even dare to trust any new owner easily. So, after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Sister Ying, you also said that New Asia's acquisition of Huaxing Records was rejected, isn't that still nothing, only one Disheng Records?" I've already suffered a loss in the last few years, and this time I don't want to take any more risks. ”

He paused, drank most of the milk in the cup in one go, and then wiped his mouth and said, "Besides, we're pretty much done with Warner now."

Chen Jiaying knew that he had been bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and patiently listened to him finish his opinion before saying: "Of course Sister Ying knows your concerns, so I didn't rush to agree to Xinya's side." However, you would be wrong to say that New Asia only has one Disheng record now. Danny, do you know why Lu Dao has signed Rong Zai, why do you want to contact me to sign you? I asked an acquaintance who worked for Polygram to help me inquire, and I was taken aback. What are you talking about? It turned out that Mecca, the president of New Arts City, had a big quarrel with Mr. Paul, the president of PolyGram's Hong Kong branch, over whether to sell New Arts Records. So Mecca, the president of New Arts City, seems to have made up his mind to sell New Art Treasure Records? ”

Chen Baiqiang's eyelids jumped, if Xin Yazhen acquired Disheng Records and then acquired Xinyibao Records, then it would be one of the good choices for him to stay.

It's just that he has suffered a loss from Disheng Records, and the result of the wrong choice is disastrous. Compared with the popularity when he signed with Disheng Records in RU years, he has not only not excelled in recent years, but has also decreased a little. A good record company is really important for a singer.

This is probably a snake bite for ten years and afraid of the well rope

Chen Baiqiang smiled bitterly in his heart, thought for a while, and then said to Chen Jiaying: "Sister Ying, I haven't made up my mind for the time being. But if you think New Asia is more reliable, just talk to them. Anyway, my contract doesn't expire until the end of October, so I'm not in a hurry to make a decision right away. But Warner's side is still focused on talking, unless that wealthy rebel acquires Xinyibao Records, I really don't want to stay, Disheng Records is too small"

At the end of the day, he still has some distrust of the new owner.

Chen Jiaying also felt that this was a safe idea, nodded and said, "Okay, it was my fault for letting you sign Disheng Records last time I hastily let you sign a contract, and this time Sister Ying can't hurt you anymore." I'll go back and see if it's anything else to do with the internal rumors of Xinyicheng and Xinya, and see if it's true or false that he Lin Xiaozhi wants to buy Xinyibao Records. Then I'll go first, you go to bed early."

Chen Baiqiang nodded, his face slightly red. RU Nian signed a contract with Disheng Records, in fact, it was not Chen Jiaying's fault, and he could only blame himself if he wanted to blame him. At that time, Pan Disheng wanted to cooperate with EMI to set up Disheng Records, and compete with the new Yibao created by the cooperation between Xinyicheng and Polygram. Yang Ziqiong, who was in love with Pan Disheng at that time, personally sent him an invitation. Unfortunately, Yang Ziqiong is also one of his close friends, Chen Baiqiang went to Malaysia for a concert tour that year, it was Yang Ziqiong who cheered him through, and later the relationship between the two was once so good that there were scandals. If it weren't for Pan Disheng's intervention, it's hard to say if it really went on, and whether it would really spark.

Thinking so, Yang Ziqiong sent him an invitation at that time, and he only thought about it for two days before agreeing. And the reason why Chen Jiaying blamed herself was because she mistakenly thought that EMI Records would invest a lot of energy in Disheng Records to become bigger and stronger, so she supported his move to join Disheng Records, and no one thought that he would be so miserable by Pan Disheng in the end.

Chen Jiaying originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to find out whether New Asia really contacted the senior management of New Art City and negotiated the acquisition of New Art Treasure Records. Who would have thought that early in the morning of the next day when she came out of Chen Baiqiang's house, she saw a news that made her eyes widen on a newspaper she bought casually.

"The senior management of Xinyibao revealed that the company is about to change hands, and the new owner is suspected of being the rebel son of a wealthy family"
