In the afternoon of this day, the employees of Cloud World officially settled in the fourth and fifth floors of the Chuangmei Building, and the area of the new offices on these two floors exceeded 3,000 square meters, which was several times the size of the original Qingyun Building.

The decoration of the singing room, piano room, and recording studio is among the best in the industry, and dancing with music in such a place makes the singer feel like enjoying it.

In particular, the two recording studios on the fifth floor, including professional decoration and equipment imported from Germany, cost more than 18 million in total, and Du Xinghe really spent a lot of money on these two recording studios.

According to the words of the professional recording studio decoration team introduced by Fang Yajun, you can go to Fuwan to find it, whether it is the recording studio of the four major record companies or the private recording studio of a senior musician, the level is not higher than the two recording studios in Cloud World.

Their two recording studios contain the industry's top technology level, Du Xinghe as early as after the renovation of the recording studio, he tried the imported mixer in the two studios, compared with the old recording studio of Qingyun Building, this is completely the feeling of changing shotguns, the sound quality and timbre of the new machine qì, like water by hand, fresh and moving, this feeling is better than the most Ha tuning system used by Du Xinghe in the previous plane.

Wei Yimin, the recording master of the cloud world, and his apprentice tomboy He Miao, used these imported recording equipment, but they didn't dare to use these machines hard, for fear of breaking these machines worth more than one million.

In the future, the singers of the cloud world will record the master tape, and they will no longer have to go to Fang Yajun's house to record, after Fang Yajun has experienced the recording studio of the cloud world, she is a little tired of the new and wants to redecorate her old recording studio. Her new album was also decided to be recorded here. Help these two recording studios become popular.

The office area of Cloud World Publishing House occupies one-third of the fourth floor, and the rest of the office space is almost all music division, and the cloud world charity department that Du Xinghe is planning to build is divided into the music division, which is fully responsible for Lin Jianguo, vice president.

Du Xinghe's own office is on the corner of the fifth floor, facing the window in the southeast and facing the Times Building in the east.

His office is also the focus of this renovation.

In Qingyun Building before, the general manager's office left by Du Shanyan was only 20 square meters, which was so small that he couldn't even fit a piano.

After arriving at the Media Building, Du Xinghe asked the renovation company to open up four adjacent offices in the southeast corner of the fifth floor. It forms a large suite of more than 120 square meters. Come and serve him as an administrative living office.

This office is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and the outside 60 square meters is his office for the public, except for his father's antique boss's desk, which is very precious and easy to use. I brought it out. All furniture in the office is newly purchased.

In order to match the very quaint and atmospheric sea yellow eight-legged desk. His office is decorated in a pure Chinese retro style, and the cabinets and shelves are made of sea yellow.

Antique furniture from this plane, including jewelry. Just like the Hetian seed jade zodiac chime that Lu Qin gave him before, the price has not been as outrageous as the previous plane, even if it is Hainan Huanghuali, the price is also acceptable.

Du Xinghe bought these furniture back, one is to use, and the other is also an investment.

His office is connected to a 60-square-metre living room with bathroom and toilet.

This makes it convenient for him to stay up late and rest, and after staying up late in the company in the future, he doesn't have to run home to sleep, and he sleeps directly in the office.

Compared with the 15-square-meter small bedroom in his Canghai District, the bedroom renovated by the new company can be described as luxurious.

Blind hard work is not a thing, and when you earn money, you always have to enjoy it.

So Du Xinghe spent nearly 400,000 yuan in this new bedroom, equipped with a set of home theater with 65-inch color TV as the core, because there has not been a flat-screen TV in this era, this 65-inch Chinese brand color TV is still CRT screen, and the huge volume occupies a large space in the bedroom.

Du Xinghe has such a big TV, in fact, an important reason is for the company, that is, he wants to see the company's singers' expressions on TV from a bigger TV. Or when watching some concert VCDs, such a large TV, coupled with a very high-end amplifier, can also allow him to capture more performance details, which can be regarded as a kind of learning. After all, it is impossible for him to go to all concerts live, and watching concerts through guò VCD is an important means for a singer to learn and accumulate typhoons.

The big bed in the living room, Du Xinghe also asked Duan Xiaoxuan to help choose a two-meter by two-meter-two queen bed, but it is not a luxurious style.

I don't know if there is IKEA in Northern Europe, but there is certainly not one in China, because in China, there are at least two manufacturers of simple, cheap and livable furniture similar to the previous IKEA, and even if there is IKEA, it cannot enter the domestic market at all.

All the household items in Du Xinghe's new living room were pulled by Duan Xiaoxuan to Xu Nuo, and together they helped Du Xinghe choose a Chinese simple home product similar to IKEA.

Especially the oversized memory foam mattress, only one palm thick, completely according to Du Xinghe's preferences, he doesn't like to sleep on soft beds, Xu Nuo knows this very well, so he chose a hard mattress for him.

Duan Xiaoxuan thought that Du Xinghe would not like this kind of mattress at first, but later after learning that Du Xinghe liked such a thinner mattress, she was very surprised, because she didn't understand how Xu Nuo would know that Du Xinghe had this preference.

The scenery of this living room is also very good, although the floor is not high, but it is facing a seaside park behind Media Street, overlooking the sea, although the scenery is not as pleasant as Xu Nuo's family directly on the seaside, but it is also more beautiful than the intensive small apartment bedroom where Du Xinghe originally lived.

Living and working in such an environment, Du Xinghe's mood is definitely a hundred times more comfortable than before.

Although he renovated such a moist office, Du Xinghe was by no means the kind of character who indulged in enjoyment, and it was too late to take a nap in the new office that afternoon, and after moving in, he immediately called a meeting with all the company's senior executives.

The main thrust of the meeting was to get all the top management nervous and not move into the new office. There is a feeling of comfort, and the previous fighting spirit must not be relaxed.

After moving to the new office building, the company will face more tough battles and big battles, so he wants the senior management of all departments to set an example and convey the spirit of hard work to his subordinates.

After the meeting, Du Xinghe chatted with Lin Jianguo alone in his new office, mainly asking about the current financial situation of Cloud World.

Du Xinghe has a book in his heart, but the detailed accounts are all controlled by the financial department in charge of Lin Jianguo.

Du Xinghe didn't have the energy to look at how much money he made every day, and even the company's financial statements every month were just a hasty glance and signed.

Lin Jianguo's financial situation with Du Xinghe's reaction that day. It's better than what Du Xinghe remembered in his own heart.

As of mid-April. The three records related to the cloud world have brought extremely rich profits to the cloud world.

"Little Bird" sold more than 8.5 million copies in four and a half months, generating 24 million yuan in revenue for Cloud World, and 22 million yuan in actual accounts. The net profit after tax is 18 million+.

"Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" sold 5.6 million copies in a month and a half. Generate 39 million revenue for the cloud world. The actual account is 32 million, and the net profit after tax is 26 million+.

Chen Huilun's "Lemon-tree (Selected Collection)" sold nearly 1.7 million copies in half a month, because Du Xinghe signed a company cooperation agreement with Guoyu. It is collected and recorded by the cloud world, so the cents of one yuan per ticket are transferred to the cloud world account.

However, the cooperation with Guoyu is not as generous as with Hongyan, Hongyan's account sharing period is paid weekly or semi-monthly, and Guoyu's account period is paid monthly, which is still a discount for Du Xinghe.

The royalties of Chen Huilun's "Lemon-tree (Selected Collection)" have not yet been sent to Cloud World, but the other two albums have received more than 50 million, bringing a huge amount of liquidity to Cloud World.

In addition, Lin Jianguo also excavated various advertising endorsements, program announcement fees, performance appearance fees and other added values of 3.3 million from Xu Nuo, and the copyright fee of Cloud World Music was 3.2 million yuan in various advertising endorsements in cooperation with Fang Yajun's team, 2.7 million music copyright fees were authorized by Cloud World to major TV stations mainly in South China Television, 1 million film copyright fees, and 600,000 yuan for the post-soundtrack production of more than a dozen TV series that Cloud World received from Hongyan. After the expiration of Qingyun Building, it will be rented first and then transferred to earn a transfer fee of 2 million...... And so on, as long as all kinds of miscellaneous things can make money, Lin Jianguo basically won't let it go.

After all, from November last year to mid-April this year, the total revenue of Cloud World exceeded 66 million, which seems to be huge, but during this period, the cost of Cloud World's shotgun replacement is also extremely large.

First of all, the rent advance payment and decoration payment for the relocation of the new company exceeded 26 million.

The salary and bonus of employees have increased sharply in the past six months, and this expenditure has exceeded 5 million (including the Galloping Horse 250 off-road vehicle bought for Lin Jianguo, which is also included in the bonus payment).

Du Xinghe spent more than 4 million yuan on the purchase of various precious musical instruments, of which 2 million yuan was the advance payment he spent on selling "You at the Same Table", and the other 2 million yuan was the company's expenses. Of course, the musical instruments that Du Xinghe bought back to keep the company's accounts also belong to the company's property, and this part of the property, like the antique furniture he purchased, has an appreciation value.

Although the various activities organized by Cloud World are sponsored by advertisers, the labor expenses themselves are not small, as well as various welfare tourism activities, with a total expenditure of more than 1 million.

Coupled with all kinds of other daily expenses, it is nearly 2 million.

There is also a large amount of money, that is, the cost of making records, including the post-production MV, as well as the advance payment for publicity and distribution (15 million for the promotion and distribution of Yiyan's new album "Flower Heart"), the cost of this piece has exceeded 20 million.

In the end, in the past six months, the cloud world has spent 55 million yuan.

At present, the company's account can only use more than 10 million liquidity, and there are 10 million to be collected.

"Little Bird", "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", and "Lemon-tree (Selected Collection)" are still providing a steady stream of rich income to the cloud world.

Yiyan's "Flower Heart" was launched immediately, because it was outsourced for publicity. does not provide a sales share to Guoyu, and Cloud World can receive more than 50% of the share from this album, which is half of the cost price of an album of 40 yuan - 20 yuan.

According to the trend of the current title song "Flower Heart" has broken into the top three of the "Chinese Song Chart", the future of this album is very bright, and it will bring rich returns to the cloud world. It will also bring a handsome return to Ihiko himself, and the contract signed by Ihiko for this album is a 10% more mid-range sharing contract.

Originally, as a newcomer, or a newcomer who invested a lot of money in the company first, it was impossible for Lin Jianguo to sign such a high share record contract for Yiyan.

But Du Xinghe considered that Yi Yan was a veteran of the company, and Yi Yan worked diligently for the cloud world for nine years and entered the company at the age of 20. By this year. He is 29 years old, and it can be said that he has dedicated his most precious youth to the cloud world, and the hardships he has endured over the years are not less. To know. The cloud world has always been operating on the brink of bankruptcy. Ihiko's salary for the past nine years has been very low. In this way, he can stay in the company and insist that now, such employees must be treated favorably in the cloud world.

So Du Xinghe made an exception and opened a 10% royalty record contract for Yiyan. Yiyan can take a royalty of 4 yuan per album from the "Flower Heart" album, although this royalty is far from the 20% royalty that can be reached by first-line singers at every turn, but for a newcomer, the company still spent more than 15 million to help the newcomer of the album, this royalty is very conscientious in the industry. If it is placed in a company like the Big Four, which is super oppressive of newcomers, Yiyan may not even get 5% of the royalty.

You must know that Xu Nuo is Du Xinghe's insider, and she is also an old employee of the company, and she only got 7% of the royalties for her first single album when the cloud world almost didn't spend any production and publicity costs. Ihiko's 10% is quite high.

Yiyan himself knows in his heart how much Du Xinghe takes care of him, so he will work so hard during the publicity period, he must seize this opportunity, fight for his dream, and also use his own efforts to bring the greatest return to the cloud world.

After learning about the company's financial situation, Du Xinghe chatted with Lin Jianguo about the company's recent development plans.

The top priority in front of the cloud world now, and the matter that is about to use money, is the debut of Yiyan's album "Flower Heart" next week.

Although Cloud World outsourced the promotion and distribution of this album to Xiao Tianlang's team, for such a big event as the company's singer's first album, Cloud World also had to use Guò's own media channels, such as Xingyue Media and other media, to build momentum for Yiyan. Since you want to build momentum, you will definitely have to spend money.

"You can rest assured about this, I asked Xiao Zhao (Zhao Yi, the new manager of the public relations department of Cloud World Media) to send out the entertainment of the red envelopes, no matter how the national entertainment side publicizes, we will arrange at least 100 soft articles here, and from next Monday, we will continue to publish articles praising "Flower Heart" for a month. The president of "Xingyue Daily" also had a special chat with him at noon today, and he said that he was waiting for the first release of "Flower Heart", and he would definitely leave us an entertainment headline. ”

Lin Jianguo introduced the publicity opportunity of the layout of the cloud world to Du Xinghe, and then lit a cigarette and smoked in private, he naturally smoked [Dailin-Pharmacy Bilian].

The broken cigarettes in Du Xinghe's new office were sent by Lin Jianguo, who drank a lot of wine at noon and his face was still red, but Lin Jianguo was very sober-minded, and he began to complain when he smoked a cigarette: "Now the red envelopes taken by these entertainment records are getting higher and higher, and the well-known reporters and music critics are more than 3,000 for writing an advertorial, 1,000 for ordinary reporters, and 500 for the worst." Just the red envelope, we will pack out a small 200,000. ”

Du Xinghe knew that Lin Jianguo was distressed about money, so he got up and turned on the air ventilator in the house, and opened the window again to avoid inhaling Lin Jianguo's second-hand smoke, and then comforted Lin Jianguo: "No way, this circle is like this, if you don't spend this little money, you won't be able to make a lot of money later." There are many times when the advertising effect of advertorials is better than that of hard advertising, and many fans buy albums after reading the comments. Now let's package 200,000 yuan for Yuji, and the word-of-mouth effect is likely to sell tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of more albums. ”

Lin Jianguo sighed: "I understand, I just think it's too easy for them to make this money." I don't know if Lao Xiao's team also has to give red envelopes to the cooperative media to help us play soft. ”

Du Xinghe said: "That's for sure, there are a few people in the circle who help write praise without charging money." We pay so much publicity and distribution fees, and a large part of it is red envelope money. ”

"Alas, I don't know who brought it up, but it means that it can't be better." After Lin Jianguo took a sip, he chatted with Du Xinghe about letting his singers participate in the "Sound of China" competition at the meeting just now: "What you just said at the meeting was that you don't participate in this competition, right?" Let the contracted singer go? ”

"Of course I didn't participate, why should I participate in it?" In Du Xinghe's opinion, he really doesn't need to use this kind of activity to package himself, he doesn't need to use this kind of activity to prove himself.

With the world's musical wealth, he should put more energy into the music itself than participating in this kind of showmaking activities.

Although Lin Jianguo regretted it, he also understood that Du Xinghe was really lacking in skills now, and Du Xinghe was about to launch a series of "Xun Qin Ji" publicity activities, and also made new albums for Xu Nuo and Fang Yajun, and also wrote songs for mixed-race groups, planning to promote mixed-race groups. At the same time, he has to lead the company's affairs and make decisions on many major events, and he really doesn't have time to participate in a draft with such a long cycle.

Lin Jianguo turned to ask Du Xinghe: "Then who do you think you want to send to participate?" ”

Du Xinghe had already decided, and said to Lin Jianguo: "Except for the three mixed-race children, the contracted singers who meet the standards will go." This is a rare opportunity, and anyone who can't keep it will rush out. ”

Lin Jianguo calculated in his heart that there are only nine signed singers in Cloud World now, Fang Yajun, Xu Nuo, and Yiyan have released films, which are not suitable for competition. The other three mixed-race children are not allowed to participate. The others are Liao Nan, Zhang Xiaozhe and Lie Yinghong, who was transferred by Hongyan.

Lin Jianguo asked Du Xinghe: "You mean to let Liao Nan, Xiaozhe and Xiaolie compete?" I think it's useless for these people to go, they're all cannon fodder, so it's better to let Xiaoxuan try it. Lin Jianguo has heard Duan Xiaoxuan sing, this fat beauty has an extraordinary lung capacity, and her singing voice has amazing penetrating and explosive power. In the ears of Lin Jianguo, Duan Xiaoxuan is much more powerful than those three people.

Du Xinghe said: "Xiaoxuan can't do it, she still owes some fire." I have other arrangements for her. ”

In Du Xinghe's view, Duan Xiaoxuan is undoubtedly a rare piece of jade, once this treasure jade appears, it must be a blockbuster, her image itself has limitations, if the singing voice is flawed, it will affect her future very much. So before Duan Xiaoxuan really honed his amazing singing skills, he would not let Duan Xiaoxuan go out to kill the Quartet.

He still has a little consideration for Duan Xiaoxuan, that is, Duan Xiaoxuan is now his personal assistant, and a little spy at all levels of the company, this fat beauty is a pistachio, and almost everyone in the company, including mixed-race children, can get along, and many of the company's employees' thoughts, Du Xinghe learned from Duan Xiaoxuan's side, if Duan Xiaoxuan's identity becomes a singer now, then he can't do this important spy work. After waiting for the company to get on the right track, at that time, he will let Duan Xiaoxuan go.

Since Du Xinghe had other arrangements for Duan Xiaoxuan, it was inconvenient for Lin Jianguo to say more, but he was really not optimistic about Liao Nan and the three of them going to compete, because he really hadn't seen the kind of table that could make people goosebumps rise when they heard it. It seems that this time in "The Sound of China", they can't stir up any waves in the cloud world.

After taking a puff of a cigarette, his eyes suddenly lit up, Lin Jianguo slapped his thigh violently, and said to Du Xinghe: "How about letting Xiao Lu participate in this competition?" I think Xiao Lu's singing is more attractive than them! ”

"Which Xiao Lu?" Lin Jianguo's sudden appearance of the title of "Xiao Lu" made Du Xinghe have a little illusion, he thought it was a singer from Hongyan who showed them, and he didn't think about Lu Qin at all.

"Hey! What do you have to do with me pretending to be garlic, of course it's your girlfriend Mr. Lu! ”

Lin Jianguo thought that Du Xinghe was shy, and he was embarrassed to talk about the matter between him and Lu Qin, because it had been so long, since Du Xinghe celebrated his birthday at the beginning of the year, he had not seen Lu Qin come to Fuwan to see Du Xinghe again, and he had not listened to Du Xinghe talk about Lu Qin, thinking that Du Xinghe had a more reserved personality and was unwilling to talk about this matter.
