When Lin Ming was chatting with He Zijian.

Lin Ming's parents and Liang Xiaoyue finally finished talking and returned to the studio again. Fang Lan shouted Lin Ming, Lin Ming, who was sitting in the audience, turned his head and saw his parents smiling at the corners of their mouths, Liang Xiaoyue and they were also like a spring breeze, obviously the two sides talked about cooperation and got a result that was very satisfied with each other.

"Mom, how's it going?" Lin Ming put down his guitar and stood up.

Fang Lan said in his ear: "My son has negotiated, twelve percent of the shares." However, in addition to the distribution rights, the songs you have now and the new songs in the future must be given to them unconditionally. Both of us are quite satisfied, anyway, the copyright is in your hands, it shouldn't have any effect. ”

"I'm afraid this won't work."

Lin Ming touched his chin, he was thinking about what he wanted his brothers and An Ran to sing and play tickets before, after returning from the rework, Lin Ming wanted to write songs for them, wanted to live freely and freely, and wanted each of them to experience what it was like to be a star, especially Liu He and An Ran. Liu He is because he wants to help him fulfill his music dream, and if he is safe, he is selfish, he wants her to sing some love songs to himself, write songs for his girlfriend, what a romantic and wonderful thing. But if the contract is signed like this according to the meaning of Peachwood Music, unless Bajingang and Enron all sign contracts to Peachwood as artists in the future, his songs will not be able to be used by them.

"Why not, it doesn't matter." Fang Lan frowned, the two sides of this cooperation talked for more than an hour, and they both talked to a point where everyone was satisfied, how could they be stuck here with Lin Ming.

Lin Ming hesitated.

Fang Lan persuaded with a little anger: "Silly son, what are you thinking in the head of this pig? Do you know the current status of their company? They showed your dad the financial statements and asset valuations, and since 99, they have invested a total of more than 13 million, and the company's performance has been completely stable since the previous year, and the company's performance has been completely stable this year, and there are several second-tier singers in their hands who continue to make money, real estate plus liquidity, total assets have reached more than 30 million, and the performance is growing every year. As long as you invest in shares, your net worth will be more than three million, three million, this is the original stock, not some other messy dividends, what else is there to hesitate about? ”

The total assets of Peachwood Music reached more than 30 million, which surprised Lin Ming. In the era when the average salary of people in Yuncheng was about 800-1000, 30 million was obviously a pretty remarkable number. Today, the housing price in Yuncheng is only 2,000 square meters, and if you take these 30 million yuan into the housing market, it will increase more than seven times in 16 years.

Because by 2018, the housing prices in the center of Yuncheng City have generally risen to 15,000, even if the proportion of inflation is calculated, the current 30 million will have to be at least three or four times more in the future. With a net worth of more than three million, it is definitely an attractive number in this era.

But Lin Ming still didn't want to give up his selfishness.

He thought about it and walked over to talk to Liang Xiaoyue about the situation.

Liang Xiaoyue pondered and said, "Liu He is my apprentice, this must be no problem." In fact, he had already promised to sign a contract with our company after graduating from college, and now he is half a Peachwood Music person. But those friends of yours want to use your songs, and they don't want to sign a contract, which is a bit difficult to do. You know, the identity of the original singer of a song is very important for a singer, because as the original singer of a song, when that song is sung, it will become synonymous with that singer, and no matter how powerful the cover is, it is impossible to overpower the original singer at this point. So if those friends of yours do the original song, for our company, the loss is definitely not one or two. ”

Lin Ming listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

He is not a particularly stubborn person, if the opinions of others are pertinent, Lin Ming will selectively accept them.

Liang Xiaoyue watched Lin Ming's face change, and said with a thoughtful sentence: "First of all, in terms of popularity, you must also understand the truth that covers are not as good as the original songs, the audience may listen to the cover, but the mainstream audience will still be in the hands of the original singer." The second is the economic benefits, after a song becomes popular, commercial performances, TV stations, and advertisements must be the original singers of the song, and those friends of yours have not signed a contract with the company, and the company will not arrange these money-making things for them, so that the company can't make money, and your friends can't make money, which is a big loss for both parties. So I hope you'll think about it. ”

Lin Ming thought for a while and said, "That's it, in fact, it's just my own thoughts, and I haven't asked their opinions yet." There's a party tonight, and I'll talk to them and see if they want to play with me. Of course, I don't want to compromise the company's interests. ”

Mao Buyi was asked when he participated in Tomorrow's Son, what would happen if he had money in the future? His answer was: I want to buy a mansion so that all my friends can live happily with him in it.

Life is like this, full of reunion and parting. We spent that time with our best friends, thinking it would be forever. It's like when you're seven years old, you catch that cicada, thinking you'll catch summer. But after all, it is just a flash in the pan, like a spark flying in the night sky, fleeting.

After graduating from junior high school, Lin Ming separated from his friends in the yard, and spent more than ten years together, always thinking that this was only a gap between four middle schools and one middle school, but the more he grew up, the more he understood. Happy times are short-lived, and our lives are spent in long-term partings and short-term reunions, just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl only meet on the day of Qixi for a year. Lin Ming was in high school with them in his last life, and went his separate ways in college in the future, except for his birthday, he got together from all over the world. Not to mention that after graduating from university, the busy work tired eight young people were out of breath, and there was not much left to contact each other except for New Year's holiday greetings.

It is precisely because Lin Ming experienced such a parting with his friends in his previous life that he knows how to cherish the reunion now. He wanted to write songs for his friends, never to make his friends feel that he was capable, but to let everyone leave no regrets and good memories in this youth.

Hearing Lin Ming's answer, Liang Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the best." ”

He was really afraid that Lin Ming would be stubborn.

The development of Peachwood Music to today seems to be stable and promising, but in fact, the internal market is not easy, not to mention how they broke through many difficulties and hardships back then, with more than 10 million, to achieve today's step, it is said that the future development direction of Peachwood Music has become more and more difficult. Because, if you want to go one step further and become a top record company, you definitely can't do it by doing a few concerts and cultivating a few quasi-first-tier and second-tier singers. Only with more attention, more works, and more things that can be used can you gain a foothold in this circle. Otherwise, in this life, Peachwood Music can only be confined to a small circle and cannot move.

So, if you want to move into the top record labels, you need more opportunities.

Lin Ming's joining is now the most important opportunity to rise. Once a large number of his works are released by Peachwood Music, the revenue will definitely strengthen the company that has fallen into a bottleneck. Therefore, neither Liang Xiaoyue nor Hou Wenhui wanted to lose such an opportunity.

"As for the contract, I'll take it back tonight, and after I ask their opinions, how about giving you an answer tomorrow morning?" Lin Ming said: "Anyway, you also need to check the contract, take a closer look at the terms in it, and if you sign it at night, you only need to send the contract over at that time." ”

"Yes." Liang Xiaoyue nodded.

After discussing here, Lin Ming explained to his parents, and went home at night to check the contract and make sure there was no problem before signing it. Lin Changqing is also a long-time experienced, although he has not been in business, but his political experience has also made him hear a lot of contract traps, so he nodded in agreement and promised to find a lawyer friend to help him take a look when he goes back.

After the two sides negotiated, Lin Changqing and Fang Lan went back with the contract first, and while it was still early, they planned to consult a lawyer friend of Lin Changqing now. Liang Xiaoyue, Hou Wenhui, and Zhao Bin sent them downstairs, and Lin Ming called He Zijian in the distance and continued to ask him to teach him to play the guitar.

Lin Ming's learning speed is not fast, but it is definitely not slow. In the eyes of outsiders, his musical talent is full. It's a pity that his talent in musical instruments is really average. After a busy day's work, I barely managed to play the simple score completely, and I also injured the tip of my index finger.

It is easy to get hurt when playing the guitar without using a pick and fingers, and many people will wear finger covers, but wearing finger tips has an impact on the tone. Liu He's suggestion is to try not to use picks and finger covers, and use fingers to interpret the guitar perfectly.

So Lin Ming could only endure the pain and continue to practice until four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Because it takes two or three hours to pop up the complete score, the rest is a matter of practice makes perfect. So in the back, Lin Ming was basically practicing alone, during which Liang Xiaoyue called him to go to a restaurant outside for lunch, and then buried himself in playing the guitar again.

In this way, at half past five in the afternoon, Lin Ming saw that the time was about the same, so he said hello to He Zijian and Liang Xiaoyue and left the Taomu Company.

This time, he asked Liang Xiaoyue to borrow an acoustic guitar and carry it on his back.

Because I have to party at night, it is really inappropriate to take Liu He's hand.

Out of the Cultural Square, there is a bus stop outside. In 02, the Yuncheng subway has not been repaired, and it will take 11 years to repair Line 1. So Lin Ming could only take the bus and go all the way to the direction of the city's No. 1 Middle School. As early as last night, Zhao Hao informed everyone that he would gather at the gate of the No. 1 Middle School in the city at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

Except for Lin Ming in the fourth middle school, the other seven are all in the same school. However, in different classes in the same school, only Liu He and Sun Yifei were in one class among the Eight King Kongs, and the rest were very scattered. In addition, some other friends in the courtyard are not in No. 1 Middle School, so they have to agree to meet in this way.

In those days when mobile phones were not yet widespread among the student population, this method of communication was very common. In addition to the seven best people invited by Zhao Hao on his birthday, there were also a few classmates and other friends in the courtyard.

It's not that the eight of them are the only friends in the whole yard, but the eight of them happened to be born in the same year, the same age, the same kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school, so they naturally played together. But since it's in the same yard, there are naturally playmates who are one or two grades higher than oneself or one or two grades lower. Usually play with the Eight King Kongs, there are more than twenty or thirty men and women. It's just that these eight people have been together for the longest time and have the deepest feelings. But this is just counting a few of their brothers, in addition, there are a few girl friends who have also played from childhood to adulthood and have the same experience as Lin Ming.

For example, Enron.

Like Enron, there are two girls who are with them in City No. 1 Middle School. For the rest of the schools, there are four. Therefore, Guang Linming's group of friends who have played together since childhood to adulthood have as many as 15 if you count them. Coupled with Zhao Hao's classmates, there are more than thirty or forty friends in the other courtyards.
