"I'll call you when I'm home. www.biquge.info"Qiao Yadan put on his sunglasses, raised his hand, and said, "You go to the company, there will be a meeting later." ”
Fang Xiao hummed, waved goodbye to the Qiao family and his wife, then started the car and left the airport.
As soon as he drove out of the airport toll booth, the phone rang, it was Zhang Xiaoou.
"Mr. Fang, be careful when you arrive at the company, there are many reporters downstairs in the company, all waiting to block you."
"What's going on?"
"It's nothing." Zhang Xiaoou is more casual, and in private she doesn't care about the rigid and hypocritical respect between superiors and subordinates in the workplace, she laughed and joked: "Boss! You're a real superstar now, and of course the superstar is chased by the media everywhere he goes. ”
Between stars and superstars, there is a thin veil, this veil is called a "heavyweight masterpiece", Chow Yun-fat before "The True Color of Heroes", "Shanghai Tang" swept thousands of audiences, and "Waiting for the Dawn" won the Golden Horse Award, popularity, fame, and acting skills are not bad, but he is just a star, after "The True Color of Heroes", he is a superstar who stands out from the crowd; Before Kobe Bryant scored 81 points, even if he won three consecutive championships, even if he scored like cutting vegetables, he was only a popular basketball star, and after scoring 81 points, he successfully became a god and became the first basketball player after Jordan......
The concert the day before yesterday was Fang Xiao's heavyweight masterpiece, consolidating his identity and aura as a "superstar" in one fell swoop, once he became a superstar, the attention he received would jump directly to a notch, before Fang Xiao often went to the company, but few reporters went to surround it, and today the weather is bad. The rain was pouring down, but the reporter was squatting at the door of the company early in the morning......
"How many journalists?"
"More than a dozen media outlets. TV stations, newspapers, the Internet, five colors, everything. Although Zhang Xiaoou spoke casually, she did things very carefully, she said slowly: "It may be related to two things, one is that a netizen launched a petition on eye yesterday afternoon. Ask for an extra concert; Another incident is that Wang Zhixin claimed that the boss personally attacked him and demanded a public apology, which was very popular on the Internet. Of course, they must also want to know some questions about F&Q's future development plans and concert revenues, which are also highly followed on the Internet. ”
"Who is Wang Zhixin?"
"It's the director of the movie you and Sister Xiao Ke went to see yesterday." Zhang Xiaoou explained: "Some netizens posted a photo with you to eye, and said in the note that you think the film director should be sent to a psychiatric hospital to cut his brain. ”
Fang Xiao was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "Ignore him." Borrowing my hype, messy garbage movie, I just told the truth in private, where did the personal attack come from. What's going on with online petitions? ”
"Yesterday at 6:33 a.m., there was a female fan called 'Cinnabar Red-Red Rose' who posted a selfie on eye. P.S. Calling on all fans who like F&Q to post selfies below, petition for the boss to add more shows and hold a few more concerts, not many people responded at first, at 1:19 p.m. This call was forwarded by Lin Zhujun, and then it attracted the attention of many people. As of now...... There are already 240,000 followers of the photos. ”
There are a total of five mentors in "The Original Innovator King", except for Fang Xiao, who was added at the end, the other four are Bai Xiaoqi, Shu Yanxiang, Zhu Qinqing and Lin Zhujun. Bai Xiaoqi is a diva in the late 80s and early 90s in the mainland, Shu Yanxiang is a smash hit singer-songwriter in Taiwan in the 90s, although Zhu Qinqing's name is poetic, he is actually a young man, he is a very famous agent, he served as the national general manager of EMI Records, Lin Zhujun is a female singer who developed from Singapore to Taiwan in 1999, known for her cold and melancholy voice, and is known as the "spokesperson of urban sadness".
On the show together as a mentor, of course Fang Xiao wanted to be a favor, and sent an invitation to each mentor, Bai Xiaoqi and Shu Yanxiang went, Zhu Qinqing didn't go for other important things, but his wife, who was also a singer, went, Lin Zhujun didn't say anything, after recording the show on June 10, he went straight to Taiwan, and it was said that he was busy preparing for his own concert tour......
What is she doing with this forwarding......
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"Boss! The building didn't collapse yesterday, and there was a lot of money in the company's account. Zhang Xiaoou was aggrieved and complained: "You said you wanted to rest." ”
"Okay, count me wrong." Fang Xiao turned the steering wheel and drove into the main road leading to the company, he looked at the pouring rain outside the window, and said, "Invite all reporters to the company's conference room." ”
"A press conference?"
"No, I don't. This kind of bad weather, the reporter is also hard, invite them to drink some coffee, rest, and then ask Mr. Hou to find a few people, write down the questions to ask, and then send them away. ”
“ok。”
"What else?"
"No, I've got the outline and materials for the morning meeting ready."
……
Fang Xiao walked into the elevator from the underground garage, and as soon as he pressed the button on the floor where Google was located, he heard someone shouting "Wait", so he pressed the door button again.
A few seconds later, a young man of twenty-four or five, wearing a polo shirt and khaki pants, wearing huge headphones, holding a thick and large music player, listened to the song while gently swaying his body, seemingly completely immersed in the world of music.
Ya's ......
This clothing, this equipment......
It's seven or eight points similar to when I hung up in my previous life......
After the elevator door closed, the man saw that Fang Xiao had been staring at him with interest, so he took off his headphones and asked, "Something?" ”
"It's fine."
"You had a good concert the day before yesterday." The man obviously knew Fang Xiao, but he was obviously not a fan, he said with a grin: "But it's too tender, it's not strong enough, it would be nice to have a few more songs like "Chasing Dreams and Red Hearts", no wonder, you have too many F&Q women, yin and yang, hahaha." ”
Is it appropriate to say this to your face? Is it too low EQ or is it to attract attention......
Fang Xiao didn't care. Just smiling, he pointed to the brick-like machine. Asked, "Do you like to play hifi?" ”
"I like to play, but I can't afford to play, I'm too poor to buy a good one, this cost me a month's salary, and it can only be regarded as a beginner." The man touched the brick machine in his hand with a look of chagrin and cherishment, and asked, "What do you use to listen to music?" PowerMN or EVOO? Or is it just burning the stereo? ”
Fang Xiao raised his phone and shook it.
"Damn! No way. You are also a professional musician, the idol of thousands of fans, listening to songs with garbage with scummy sound quality like a mobile phone, don't you think the price is cheap? ”
"I'm lazy, I don't like to go out with bits and pieces, the music, just listen to it. Don't worry about the details. ”
The man seemed to think it was incredible, shaking his head and sighing, with an unteachable expression.
I also burned it back then......
And he was so dizzy that he almost went bankrupt......
This person looked as stunned as he was when he had just graduated from his previous life, Fang Xiao felt interesting and kind, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you recommend some equipment for me to try?" ”
"You're so rich. Why do you still use the recommendation of a moonlight clan like me, search directly on the Internet, and then choose the most expensive one to buy! ”
"Expensive isn't necessarily good, is it?"
"I read that "World Finance" said that you are worth one billion US dollars, which is converted into 7 billion yuan, and you still care about that little money? If it's not good, throw it away and change it. If you can't find a suitable one, you can just buy an equipment company and make it yourself. ”
Fang Xiao saw that Google's floor was almost there. So he followed Feng Weilun's example the day before yesterday, gave the man a thumbs up, praised his boldness in spending money, and then stood at the door, ready to go out.
After stepping out of the elevator, he turned back and pressed the door frame again, and asked, "Is it inconvenient to give me a contact information?" If I want to buy HIFI equipment, I can consult with you. ”
The man obviously didn't expect Fang Xiao to take the initiative to ask him for contact information, he was slightly stunned, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, swiped it twice, turned off the screen again, shook his head and said, "Forget about the phone, we are not people on the same level, we don't have a common language...... My account on Dragonfly Music is called 'Outside the Mountain Qingshan Ke', the first four words of the Outside the Mountain Outside the Mountain, the first four words of the Outer Building, are easy to remember, you can send me a private message. ”
"Okay, goodbye."
This guy is quite interesting......
……
"Actually, it's all about money." Peng Yukai sat on the sofa in Fang Xiao's office and reported: "In 2011, EMI wanted to recruit Fan Qi to go over, and Tang Ruofeng, the big boss of Yinlong, not only increased his salary in order to keep him, but also promised to give him 10% of the shares, but in the past three years, Tang Ruofeng has only given dividends and not signed an equity transfer contract, and now Tang Ruofeng is ready to sell Yinlong to Warner at a price of 480 million, and the 10% of the shares are worth more than 40 million, Fan Qi went to Tang Ruofeng several times, but Tang Ruofeng has been avoiding it and not even answering the phone. ”
"So, that micro-note is forcing the palace?"
"Yes, Fan Qi is Yinlong's signboard, almost all of the singers under Yinlong are trained by him, as soon as he leaves, those singers will follow, so that Yinlong can't sell 480 million, 80 million." Peng Yukai smiled and said: "As far as I know, Fan Qi also left a back hand, the copyrights of those works he wrote by himself are in his own hands, and they are not sold to Yinlong, Yinlong only has the right to distribute, if he leaves, Yinlong is an empty shell, and Warner will definitely not look down on it." ”
"Then what is Tang Ruofeng's reaction?"
"I called in the middle of the night last night, trying my best to win over Fan Qi, promising that as soon as he returned to Beijing, he would sign the transfer contract immediately, but Fan Qi said that he was cold, and he would rather not have the 40 million, but also let Tang Ruofeng break his promise and fatten himself, but in my opinion, he is just stubborn, after all, more than 40 million is not a small amount of money, and he himself has a lot of feelings for Yinlong."
Fang Xiao moved the mouse, dragged the web page, and looked at the information about Yinlong Records - he has released 43 physical records and more than 100 online singles, held five Beijing Normal University Student Singing Competitions, discovered nearly 20 well-known singers, produced theme songs and soundtracks for more than 50 movies and TV series, produced car music for famous luxury car brands such as BMW and Jaguar, and produced advertising music for fashion brands such as Terunquan and Meizi......
Looks like a good strength......
In the 80s, the economy of the south flourished, and Hong Kong became the heart of domestic pop music, but Hong Kong is a city of immigrants. The foundation is shallow, and it is in the encirclement of Lingnanization. does not have the ability to become the heart of Chinese pop, so in the tenth century, after the country's economy took off as a whole, the focus of pop music shifted to Jingshi, Jingshi's strong chemical heritage and rich resources are incomparable to any other city, so there are so many young artists to go to the north, so there are so many music film and television companies in Beijing.
Fang Xiao is now like a prince in a corner of peace. He wants to be the king and hegemon in the entertainment industry, Jingshi is a battleground that cannot be lost, taking advantage of the infighting in Yinlong, it seems to be a good choice to grab a base - there are so many Beipiao people in Jingshi, there must be many star embryos worth cultivating, and stars are the core resources of the entertainment industry.
"If Vanchi really resigns. How much else is Sounddragon Records worth? ”
"It's not easy to say, Yinlong has released a lot of saliva songs in recent years, it's not worth mentioning, the real value is the albums made by Fan Qi between 2004 and 2009, with a good reputation and good circulation. Some songs have a high rate of demand on KTV. Peng Yukai pondered for a moment and said: "There are more than a dozen singers under Yinlong, but only Xu Feitong and Chen Yuchong can really get their hands on it, Xu Feitong was discovered by Fan Qi, and Skylark Records has always been interested in Chen Yuchong. It's just that in the way of Fan Qi's face, he didn't dig it with his hands. As soon as Fan Qi left, these two pillars would definitely not be able to stay. If Fang always wants to buy it, after a few months, I estimate that 70 million will be able to take it down - Yinlong has its own recording studio, although it is not top-notch, but the quality is also good, there is no problem with recording ordinary records, it is worth about 20 or 30 million, and the rest of the brands, copyrights, teams and miscellaneous things add up, it is worth 30 or 40 million. ”
"Tang Ruofeng is really okay, for the sake of a mere share, he has a quarrel with his henchmen." Fang Xiao sighed with emotion, and then said: "Manager Peng, you talk to Fan Qi to see if there is a chance to operate this matter, if you can buy Yinlong, you will stay in Jingshi as the general manager, and you will not use the Hong Kong headquarters to work, I heard that you don't like the weather in Hong Kong, and your wife and children are in Beijing, and it is not convenient to live separately." ”
Peng Yukai was not surprised by this, he picked up the coffee on the coffee table, took a sip, and asked, "Mr. Fang, what kind of conditions can I prescribe?" ”
"Let Fan Qi sign a contract with Dragonfly Music, and I will give him a signing fee of 40 million." Fang Xiao knocked on the table and said, "After the acquisition of Yinlong, he can continue to be the music director, and I will give him another 15% of the shares." ”
Fang Xiao's generosity surprised Peng Yukai a little, he sat up straight and said, "Mr. Fang, isn't this price a bit high?" ”
"It's okay, I still understand the horse bones in Qianjin City, and Fan Qi's ability is also worth this price, of course, in business, you can also bargain with him." Fang Xiao leaned on the office chair and said with a smile: "Manager Peng, as long as you can do this well, don't mention the previous annual salary of one million, I will give you the original shares of Google and invite you to be a partner." ”
Peng Yukai has always been the dead face of Gujing Wubo, and this time he finally showed a surprised expression - now the market is very hot, as long as there are dry goods of the company will be crazy pursuit by capital, before the concert, Google's valuation exceeded 1 billion, and after the concert it doubled directly, this is still the valuation given by the outside world in the case of Google's intention to expand the KTV market, if you know, it is possible to quadruple or five times the valuation.
In short, Google's shares, even if they are only 1%, are more important than Yinlong's 15% shares!
This Fang Xiao is really heroic......
I'm just a newcomer who has only been in the company for two weeks, so I dare to give such generous conditions......
"This is the basic charter of our partnership system." Fang Xiao took out a piece from under the desk and said: "There are detailed explanations about the rights and obligations of partners, as well as the acquisition, transfer, and dividends of equity, Manager Peng can take it first, in fact, when you promised to join Google, I intended to invite you to be a partner, but the conditions are not very mature, so I have not taken it out." ”
Fang Xiao's meaning is obvious, without merit and contribution, how can it be possible to let you be a partner for no reason.
Peng Yukai stepped forward and took the sky-blue clip with both hands, and after he sat back on the sofa, Fang Xiao said again: "Everyone is collecting firewood, the flame is high, the company is getting bigger and bigger, and there is more and more shortage of talents...... Manager Peng, what does Li Weifa's micro-note mean? ”
"Da Li and Lin Zhicheng and the major shareholders of Skylark Records have conflicting business philosophy." Peng Yukai settled down and introduced: "Da Li - Da Li is the honorific title of Li Wei by people who play music in Beijing - he is the same as Mr. Fang, he is very optimistic about online streaming music, and proposed a few years ago that Skylark Records transform into an online music company, but Lin Zhicheng disagreed, he advocated focusing on offline commercial performances, and neither of the two could convince anyone, the major shareholder Desheng International likes to play capital operation, and wants to make money from the Lark Records market, and has been tinkering with diversification, making movies and TV series, and not paying attention to music at all, As a result, it dragged around and wasted a lot of opportunities, Da Li was a little disheartened, he had concentrated on his own bar for the past two years, and he didn't even go to the recording studio. ”
"Really?" Fang Xiao asked with interest: "What kind of online music company does Da Li want to turn Skylark Records into?" ”
"He wants to be an original musician community, and then rely on the community to make a music software, so that musicians can freely release their own works, and Skylark Records is responsible for publicity and promotion and commercial operations, and the profits obtained are shared between the two parties."
Fang Xiao was surprised, isn't this the Douban musician in his previous life?
Li Wei has a lot of ideas......
It is no wonder that the black of traditional record companies is exposed in Weiji, if this model is done, it is indeed beneficial to musicians and music fans, and at the same time, record companies can also avoid production risks and make profits from commercial operations......
However, this model is very good, but it is difficult to do, Douban musicians have been doing it for many years, and they are still half-dead, half-red and not black.
"Manager Peng, when will Da Li return to Beijing?"
"Tomorrow afternoon's plane."
"You help me ask, see when he's free, I'll invite him to dinner."
If you come across. If you can't open it, you can try to visit: or mobile station: m.
