Du Xinghe was going to talk to Lin Jianguo about a very important matter related to the core business of the cloud world that afternoon, that is, Jian Yì, who released low-cost records.

After seeing the situation of Chen Huilun's "Lemon-tree (Selected Collection)" sweeping the record market, Du Xinghe is now quite obsessed with releasing reserve price records, wanting to return to fans.

However, after a few days of deeper thinking, he felt that it was indeed prudent to implement this policy, after all, it is not so easy to succeed in breaking the laws of the market. Once in a while, a record or two may be a success, but it's not so simple to make it a norm. After all, this is a move that will ruin many people's jobs.

If the cloud world messes up the order of the record market, it will inevitably cause other record companies to follow suit, and if other record companies lower the price of records, it is indeed giving back to fans, but it damages the interests of practitioners and even music creators, which may lead to the creative vitality of the entire market tending to wither.

It's like after the advent of the free Internet, there was no way to make money making records, so most record companies went out of business, a large number of music jobs were no longer engaged in the record industry, and the record market suddenly fell from a prosperous state. Free music is affordable for fans, but it also seriously hurts the source of motivation for original music.

Free is actually a double-edged sword for many industries, and even a double-edged sword that can do more harm than good. Just like the literary industry and the film and television industry of the same type as the music industry, if everyone goes to watch free or even pirated copies, and the original workers do not get any benefit protection, what incentive do they have to continue creating?

If Cloud World creates a precedent for low-cost records and disrupts the laws of the market, it will inevitably force away a large number of music practitioners, because the price of the cut part of the record is actually the income of these people. Deprived them of their earnings. Naturally, they are going to change careers. This is actually a kind of harm to Chinese music itself.

Besides, if the cloud world really does such a rebellious thing, it will even be a thing that will never lead to wealth. It is possible that fellow record labels will band together to boycott the cloud world. Today's cloud world does not have the capital to compete with the entire industry. Not to mention the entire industry, it is easy for any predator to pinch the cloud world to death.

With these in mind. Du Xinghe feels that the implementation of low-cost records must brainstorm and gather everyone's wisdom to discuss how to do this thing well.

But there is one thing he is basically sure to do, and that is to take Xu Nuo's "Crazy for Love" album as an experiment, as a depth bomb, to see what kind of fluctuations a low-cost full record will cause in the market, and what kind of reaction his peers will have.

The reason why Xu Nuo's "Crazy for Love" was chosen to be a real yàn is mainly because Xu Nuo will not have any problems with the release of the reserve price record, as long as he wants to do something, Xu Nuo will definitely support it wholeheartedly, which Du Xinghe is completely sure of.

Singers are actually one of the most original creators of the music industry, songwriters use their pens and brains to create, and singers use their own voices to create. If low-priced records are released, in fact, it will hurt their interests most directly. Because low-priced records will directly affect their royalty earnings.

For newcomer singers, maybe it's okay to be able to release a record, and they won't care so much about the royalties of the record, just like Yiyan, who gave him 3% of the royalty income before, he signed the contract without hesitation, as long as he can sing, and the rest doesn't matter to the newcomer.

Later, Du Xinghe couldn't stand it anymore, and saw that Yi Yan was so hard, so hard, and so hard for the cloud world, so he felt his conscience and raised Yi Yan's royalty to 10%.

This royalty is already high for newcomers, making them feel like heaven, but for famous singers, like Fang Yajun, or even a singer like Chen Huilun, they can't agree to sign 10%. After all, famous singers have their own dignity. Royalties below one line, in their opinion, are a lack of attention to them.

The low-priced record directly cut the royalty by more than 50%, this kind of royalty, how can there be a famous singer to release the record?

The cloud world can't always rely on a group of newcomers to work hard, with the maturity and development of these newcomers, their royalties will also gradually increase, if the royalties of releasing records in other companies can almost get seven or eight yuan per album, and in the cloud world can only get one dollar per album, then even if the singer is sincere, he will also think about switching to other record companies.

Low-priced records are actually a kind of harm to singers, Du Xinghe asked himself if he didn't have the kind of super appeal above others, which could make singers work hard for the cloud world at a price several times lower than other companies.

Even if the sales of low-priced records can make up for the price gap in a certain way, how much this compensation can make up for needs to be tested in practice. No one can predict what the final result will be until it has been tested many times. From the psychological analysis of normal people, people must tend to choose more insurable interests, that is, high-share benefits.

Therefore, choosing some records to make low-cost real products first has become something that Du Xinghe must do, as for who to choose, he must choose those who are not psychologically burdened, and Xu Nuo is obviously the best candidate.

Before the company moved, Du Xinghe had already discussed with Xu Nuo about reducing the price of "Crazy for Love", and also told Xu Nuo about his idea of promoting low-cost records, Xu Nuo must have wholeheartedly supported this, but she also helped Du Xinghe put forward some suggestions from the perspective of a singer, such as the harm to the singer mentioned above, which Du Xinghe didn't expect at first, and only realized it after chatting with Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo said this, it was not for her own money bag at that time, for her, there was almost no difference between 100 million and 10 million, and she didn't know how to spend it. Including her current commercial performances, attending various endorsement activities, and the after-tax net income of more than 4 million brought to her by the "Little Bird" record, she doesn't know what to buy. Or rather. Her simple little head had no idea of buying valuables.

Except for the sports car that she bought for Du Xinghe's birthday gift of more than one million, the travel and treatment expenses for her family to go to the United States for medical treatment, and the Yushifang bag of more than 50,000 yuan for her mother, she never bought anything more than 5,000 yuan.

Now there are more than 2 million lying in her bank account, and she doesn't know how to spend it. She knows how to be content, and she feels that her life is already very good now, so she has no extravagant desires. She even hoped that Du Xinghe would help her spend the money, or help her plan what to do with the money. But of course Du Xinghe won't do this kind of thing, after all, it was Xu Nuoxin's hard-earned money. How to spend it. It should also be up to Xu Nuo to decide, what is the matter with his decision?

Even if the "Crazy for Love" album makes Xu Nuo more money, it doesn't mean much to Xu Nuo, but he uses this record to practice Du Xinghe's idea. It makes more sense to Xu Nuo.

After Lin Jianguo left on this day. Du Xinghe unpacked some of the books he packed by himself. One by one, they were stacked on the quaint bookshelves against the wall.

After moving to a new company, his new secretary Jin Mengyi officially started working today.

The new company has to have a new atmosphere, so Du Xinghe also hired a new secretary.

Compared with Duan Xiaoxuan. This new secretary Jin Mengyi looks like a secretary a lot more in appearance, with a height of 1.75 meters, a tall person, long legs, dignified and quiet appearance, not the type that can't be pulled out at a glance, but it is definitely an eye-catching female secretary.

Her figure and Duan Xiaoxuan have gone to two extremes, she is very tall and thin, wearing the gray tube skirt suit that secretaries often wear, but she also has a kind of skinny beauty that is wrapped.

She doesn't talk much, but she does things very simply, and she is also capable of handling Wen Jiàn.

She often pushes the pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, as if because the frames are a little too heavy, and the high bridge of her nose is uncomfortable.

When Cloud World was still in Qingyun Building, Jin Mengyi had been adapted to work for a few days by Duan Xiaoxuan with the company, and Du Xinghe was quite satisfied with her.

The reason why he wanted to hire another secretary was to relieve pressure on Duan Xiaoxuan. When there was only one secretary for Duan Xiaoxuan before, he had to help Duan Xiaoxuan remember many things, and Duan Xiaoxuan had to arrange some schedules.

He also asked Duan Xiaoxuan to practice singing every day, and Duan Xiaoxuan also wanted Duan Xiaoxuan to mingle with the employees below and find out if the employees had any new ideas or dissatisfactions.

Duan Xiaoxuan still has to go to Luoshan from time to time to "monitor" the three mixed-race children, this fat beauty is so busy, even busier than Du Xinghe.

After coming to the new company, the company's scale has expanded nearly four times, the number of employees has greatly increased, Duan Xiaoxuan has to prepare for the new Youth Star Song Contest in September, this half a year to spend more time on practicing singing, it is impossible to take care of more secretarial work, so Du Xinghe simply separated some of Duan Xiaoxuan's tedious daily work and hired a new secretary to do it.

This Jin Mengyi was recommended by Duan Xiaoxuan to Du Xinghe, 24 years old this year, graduated from Fuzhou University, majored in administrative management in college, and has been working for two years after graduation, and has been a corporate secretary.

Duan Xiaoxuan and Jin Mengyi met in an amateur crew, Jin Mengyi doesn't usually talk much, but in private she is actually quite cheerful, since she was in college, she likes to participate in the activities of the off-campus drama troupe, and she has known Duan Xiaoxuan for five or six years, and the relationship is very good.

I heard Duan Xiaoxuan say that Cloud World was going to recruit a secretary, and Jin Mengyi immediately asked Duan Xiaoxuan to help recommend it, and then came to accept Du Xinghe's interview.

After the interview, the girl did not hesitate to resign from her previous job as a secretary of a printing company and defect to the cloud world.

She has always had the idea of working in an entertainment company, but unfortunately she has never had this opportunity, and now she can come to work in Cloud World, and she can be regarded as getting what she wants.

Under her seemingly quiet and silent appearance, there is actually a heart that yearns for the entertainment industry, makes movies, and becomes a star. Although Cloud World is a record company, after all, it is a company linked to the entertainment industry, and perhaps, this is a springboard for her future stardom.

That afternoon, after Du Xinghe stacked books on the bookshelf for a while, he received a call from Zhang Yifan.

There are less than two weeks to go, the Fuwan Youth Cup tennis tournament is about to start, Zhang Yifan called to congratulate Cloud World on moving to a new location, (Du Xinghe told her about this when he practiced before), and then Zhang Yifan and Du Xinghe knocked on the matter of practicing tomorrow (Saturday).

This weekend, most of the employees in Cloud World will be working overtime. Come to make up for the shift before moving and vacationing, and will come to the company to tidy up the new office on the weekend, and get familiar with the environment, Du Xinghe himself has nothing to do, it seems that there will be a meeting tomorrow morning, but it can be pushed off. So he answered Zhang Yifan. The two made an appointment to go to the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center on the outskirts of the city tomorrow morning to practice.

Every year, the Fuwan Youth Cup tennis tournament is played at the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center, a large tennis base consisting of 15 courts and training grounds, which is the best tennis venue in the Fuwan area.

The annual ATP Fuwan Championship is also played in Blue Moon Bay, and the Fuwan Youth Cup is the warm-up match before the Fuwan Championship.

The Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center is not far from Fang Yajun's villa area, and it takes about 50 minutes to drive from the city center. Du Xinghe and Zhang Yifan made an appointment. He will go to Fuda at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to pick up Zhang Yifan. Then they drove to Blue Moon Bay.

The main reason why they have to run so far to practice is to adapt to the venue, and the tennis court of Fuzhou University is of a practice nature, although the conditions are very good. But compared to a professional course. The difference in ground material is still very large. Although they are all hard courts, the bounce of the ball is significantly different due to the surprise of the ground material. They want to do well in the Youth Cup. You have to adapt to the real playing field.

Leaving Zhang Yifan's phone, Du Xinghe pressed the phone call button on the table and called Jin Mengyi into the office.

"Hello, Mr. Du, do you need to add tea?"

Jin Mengyi greeted Du Xinghe politely as soon as she came in, before in Qingyun Building, Jin Mengyi had been Du Xinghe's secretary for a few days, and Du Xinghe gradually adapted to Jin Mengyi's secretary style, which was completely different from Duan Xiaoxuan.

When Duan Xiaoxuan was his secretary before, he almost never said anything like "hello", and said anything directly, just like a friend, he generally didn't pay attention to politeness, and never called him "Mr. Du", but called him "little boss" - this is more like a nickname than the feeling of a boss.

Jin Mengyi changed Duan Xiaoxuan's casual attitude, maybe she was used to being a secretary before, and she has formed a kind of professionalism, and she has always been very respectful to her boss.

Du Xinghe felt quite awkward at first, and wanted Jin Mengyi to change it, don't be so serious, but after thinking about it, he felt that the secretary should have been like this, not like Duan Xiaoxuan before, so he simply let Jin Mengyi come according to her own style, and didn't even let her change her title.

After listening to it like this for a few days, he found that it felt good, and being treated like this made him really feel like a boss. Maybe the emperors are used to it.

On this day, because it was the big day of the housewarming of the cloud world, Jin Mengyi did not wear a low-key and inconspicuous gray tube skirt suit as usual, but changed into a more eye-catching white professional tube skirt, and the light blue silk shirt on the upper body was tucked into the waist of the tube skirt, showing her extraordinarily slender waist, which was easy to hold.

At first glance, she looks like a white cloud under a blue sky, which complements the name of Cloud World, and she obviously put a lot of thought into dressing like this.

The male colleagues of the company saw Jin Mengyi wearing such a beautiful suit for the first time, and many people looked at Jin Mengyi a few more times, they didn't expect Jin Mengyi to ...... The legs are so long!

Before interning in Qingyun Building, Jin Mengyi's tube skirt was up to the knee, and her top would cover the waist of the tube skirt, the whole dress was decent, and it could even be said to be inconspicuous, and it would not make people pay special attention to her.

But today Jin Mengyi's shirt is stuffed into the tube skirt, it is still a high-waisted tube skirt, although the hem of this white tube skirt is still close to the knee, it is not a short skirt, but because it is a high-waisted model, the waist is very high, and the skirt is also very tight, which suddenly highlights her delicate hip curve and super long pair of beautiful legs. At this time, people found out that this girl's legs were so long! It's better than the average model!

In fact, the white gold-toed high heels she wore today, the heels are not particularly long, only about 3 cm, which is considered a low heel model, but even so, the high-waisted tube skirt still makes people feel that the proportion of her lower body accounts for nearly two-thirds of her body!

Du Xinghe was also stunned when he first looked at Jin Mengyi in the morning, thinking that Jin Mengyi was deformed like a Transformer, why did her legs suddenly become so long? Later, I found out that it was because her skirt waist had increased a lot.

During the celebration this morning, Jin Mengyi followed behind Du Xinghe as a secretary most of the time, with such a long-legged secretary following, Du Xinghe personally felt quite face-saving, and those friends in the circle came to say hello, and they would subconsciously glance at Jin Mengyi, which could be regarded as saving face for the cloud world. Just imagine, if Duan Xiaoxuan followed him on such an occasion, what would it make people think about the cloud world?

At first, when Jin Mengyi was recruited into the company, Du Xinghe didn't think much about this aspect, at that time he felt that this girl was Duan Xiaoxuan's friend, and Duan Xiaoxuan should be very harmonious with each other, plus she was a graduate of Fu University, and she did not lack work experience, so Du Xinghe recruited her, but he didn't expect her to be able to support the façade.

At this time, Jin Mengyi came in, and when she saw that Du Xinghe's Luo Han Guo wood tea was gone, she had the vision to ask Du Xinghe if he was adding tea.

Du Xinghe's newly renovated office has a special Chinese-style tea table for guests to make tea and talk about things.

Du Xinghe himself also has a preference for making tea, and if there is no tea, he can make it himself.

But Jin Mengyi mentioned it, and he soaked Jin Mengyi.

motioned to Jin Mengyi to go to the side of the tea table to help him make tea, and then Du Xinghe continued to tidy up his bookshelf, and at the same time said to Jin Mengyi: "Tomorrow morning, the company's regular meeting, let Mr. Lin preside over it, I have something, I won't be here tomorrow morning, you remember." ”

Tomorrow morning's regular meeting, the main topic is the work deployment after moving to a new company, most of Du Xinghe has already instructed all levels of management personnel this afternoon, just tell Lin Jianguo about it again tomorrow morning, he hurried to practice.

Recently, he practiced with Zhang Yiyang and Zhang Yifan's brothers and sisters, and Du Xinghe re-experienced the kind of college time when his youth was unbridled. Infected by the vitality of these young people, he felt that he was much younger, and this was really a feeling of rebirth.

It was precisely because of this feeling that he also developed a strong interest in tennis.

When a person has made some incredible progress and achievements in a new field, they can't help but be enthusiastic about continuing to dig themselves in that field.

Du Xinghe now has this feeling, although galloping and swinging on the tennis court does not bring him more enjoyment than cruising freely in the music time, but the pleasure of sweating on the court makes him deeply feel the hidden pleasure of the strange force in the body, and during this time, due to the strengthening of physical exercise, he can obviously feel that the body is more and more adapted to the overload of the strange force, and the pleasure of adaptation makes him experience a miracle of life, and he begins to love this feeling a little.

At first, he played tennis just to express his apologies for Zhang Yifan's split hips, but now he plays tennis because he really likes the sport. So the regular meeting in the company was not so important, and he simply pushed it off.

However, he did not forget to remind Jin Mengyi, saying: "Before the regular meeting tomorrow morning, you will remind Mr. Lin again, and at the regular meeting, you will emphasize the promotion of Yiyan's "Flower Heart" album, which will be released next week, and all the company's current work will be focused on this album." ”

"Okay, I remember it all." Jin Mengyi put the brewed tea on Du Xinghe's desk, and wrote down everything Du Xinghe said to the business handheld computer she carried.

After the relocation of Cloud World, not only the working environment has been replaced, but the internal working software and hardware have also been upgraded. For example, the handheld computer in Jin Mengyi's hand is the latest technology product that Cloud World has provided to the heads of various departments and the secretaries in charge after this relocation.

Although the handheld computer in this era is still limited to a few simple functions such as handwritten notes, scheduling work schedules, alarm clock reminders, etc., and the screen is a gray screen with very low resolution, the actual application effect is not much stronger than that of a paper notepad, but this replacement can also see a trend of the cloud world to adapt to the trend of the times.

Originally, Lin Jianguo was against Du Xinghe wasting money to buy these things, this handheld computer cost more than 2,000 yuan, and he didn't know how much notepad he could buy.

Du Xinghe insisted on upgrading, he just wanted to convey the message that the cloud world was ahead of the times.

If it weren't for the ridiculously expensive price of computers now, which generally cost more than 10,000 yuan, he had to equip each employee with a computer, so that his employees would be the first to adapt to the surging microcomputer era. (To be continued......)
