Volume 1, Heavy Life 02 Chapter 16 The Family Goes into Battle

"What's the disease, your son is healthy?" Fang Lan brought a bowl of noodles from the kitchen and put them in front of Lao Lin, Yuncheng people don't like to eat steamed buns and soy milk fritters for breakfast, they prefer rice noodles and alkaline noodles, and every household will go to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy some noodles and come back to cook and cook them.

"Then what are you crazy about, asking for leave for your son to be idle at home?" Lao Lin went to the refrigerator and took a bottle of chopped chili peppers, and said sternly: "The curriculum in high school is compact, and if you don't listen to one day of class, you have to pull down a lot of classes." ”

Lin Ming came out of the toilet after washing, and lay on the sofa leisurely watching the news with his father, watching the TV without moving, while the old god was saying, "Dad, don't worry." I will study hard, and when my grades come up, don't forget to help me find a relationship to get into a middle school. ”

Lao Lin has always pretended to be red-faced at home, but this time the mother and son messed around too much, took the chopped pepper and put it heavily on the table, and lowered their faces to criticize harshly: "How many times have you said this kind of thing?" Which time has it been realized, just talk about it and don't practice the fake trick. When I was studying, I had to keep studying in the classroom, even if I had a high fever of 39 degrees. Your learning attitude has always been very problematic, and if you don't study seriously on weekdays, you can even do things in stilts. Don't blame me for not reminding you, you still want to go to No. 1 Middle School like this? The people at the bottom of the first middle school are ten times stronger than you, so get out of class at once, or you will kneel at home and don't even think about going anywhere. ”

"Lin Changqing, there's something wrong with you. yelling in the morning. Fang Lanfen didn't stop, and came out of the kitchen with his waist in his waist and shouted: "I usually don't see you educate your son well, but at this time, I have time to go crazy here, hurry up and eat your powder and go to work, I have the final say in my son's affairs." ”

"You."

No matter how good Lao Lin is cultivated, he is so angry that he can't do it, and he doesn't dare to say something serious, so he can only reason with his wife: "Fang Lan, what are you doing." Don't look at what the problem is, the child is watching TV at home in class, blatantly skipping class and rebelling, you still indulge him, where are you standing? ”

"Okay, Mom, let's talk to Dad about this." Lin Ming was still afraid that the two would quarrel, although outside because Lin Changqing was the head of the family, Fang Lan, who knew the general situation, had always been more like her husband. But the 34-year-old Fang Lan has a bad temper, when she was young, her mother was as beautiful as Liu Yifei, but her stinky temper was also famous in the neighborhood. In that era of arranged marriages, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he dared to chase his father and mother with a broom and the matchmaker who came to propose marriage, and he was also the only one in Yuncheng. Now I'm a little older, and I'm a little more restrained. But if Lin Changqing dared to quarrel with her, Fang Lan would definitely dare to lift the table and chairs on the spot.

"Say it yourself." Mom turned around and went back to the kitchen to work.

Seeing that there seemed to be something hidden in the matter, Lin Changqing couldn't care about being angry with Fang Lan, glared at Lin Ming, sat down and said, "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Lin Ming told him about Liang Xiaoyue as it was, and also told him about what he was going to talk about today. Although this is just a trivial matter in Lin Ming's eyes, in the eyes of his parents, it is a big thing that affects the entire family. After all, in 02, when everyone's material level was not high, suddenly a huge amount of money that could reach millions fell from the sky, which felt no less than a day more than ten years later, and suddenly won the five million lottery is a truth. While Lin Changqing was pleased that his son was a musical genius, his brows furrowed, and he thought: "Are they really willing to give you shares for free, and as long as you have the right to issue?" Didn't ask for anything else? ”

Lin Ming nodded.

Lin Changqing was skeptical: "I feel that things will not be so simple, will their company have problems with its operation or fall into financial crisis, be careful to be taken into the water." I have seen some real estate bosses, when the capital chain is broken, they go around pulling people to partner and find someone to carry together. Everyone is happy to resist the crisis, but if they can't resist, they will go bankrupt, which is quite terrible. ”

The prudence cultivated in politics all the year round made Lin Changqing fall into a kind of self-doubt like Lin Ming. The so-called there is no benefit of pie in the sky, and suddenly one day such a time came, Lao Lin and Lin Ming were also in trouble, thinking about whether there was a conspiracy in it. It's not that Lin Changqing is as suspicious as Lin Ming, but he has been in politics for many years, and he has also come into contact with some rich big bosses, and suddenly the capital chain broke overnight and fell into a financial crisis. If the gap is not filled, the consequences will be devastating. Many big bosses will choose to pull some partners into the water at this time, conceal the crisis situation, and then let the partners buy shares at an attractive price, help him carry the crisis together, or even more extreme, and directly roll away the partners' investment funds and run away. Such cases are quite common among the public procuratorate and judicial organs, such as Zhou Yunkai's father's public security department and Liu He's father's procuratorate, which have to accept hundreds of such cases every year, making Lin Changqing quite vigilant about this situation.

Lin Ming said without hesitation: "It's not like business problems and financial crises, their company is good, the decoration is luxurious and luxurious, and the personnel don't look like they have collapsed." This cannot be the case for a company with a debt crisis. ”

Not to mention that Lin Ming in later generations has an understanding of the success of the Peach Wood Music Festival, let's just say that the current survival of Peach Music is still alive, and Liu He also had a brief introduction on the road.

In the early years, music companies mainly earned revenue from records and CDs, but in recent years, with the rapid development of the economy and the abundance of entertainment activities, commercial performances have gradually become a way for music companies to turn losses into profits. Before the millennium, domestic pop music was mainly based on the island city of Hong Kong, and the pop music in the mainland was not developed, and most of the domestic record companies were for the music records of the island city and abroad, and there were very few singers and music of their own, not only because the domestic pop music form was poor at that time, the independent music brands were scarce, and piracy was rampant, and the profit was very small. At that time, it was the time for the southern coastal zone to vigorously develop the economy, because the coastal zone belonged to the economic front, and the mainland was generally affected by the music of Hong Kong and island cities. In recent years, the economy has been booming, the people's living conditions are affluent, and domestic pop music has an upward trend, and a large number of commercial performances have gradually become frequent. Since 02, domestic music activities have entered the era of commercial performances, and the income is quite amazing.

There are only a few ways for a music company and a contracted singer to make money, one is to release records, the second is to perform on TV stations, the third is to hold concerts, the fourth is to endorse advertisements, and the fifth is commercial performances.

Among them, the most lucrative is commercial performances. The first-line stars have walked down one by one, and more than 100,000 or 200,000 are trivial.

In addition to successfully holding two music festivals the year before last and last year, Peachwood Music has also cooperated with many domestic first-line stars and its stars to connect with various commercial performances. Because most of the old record companies in China are headquartered in the north, and the economic center is in the south, commercial performances are frequent, Taomu Music has taken the lead and seized a large number of commercial performance markets in the south. As the organizer, Peachwood Music not only made a lot of money, but also had a very good reputation, which can be regarded as a great fame in the music industry, and the momentum has risen all the way.

With a profit foundation, unless the three partners go to Aocheng to gamble, no matter how good the Taomu company is, it will not fall into a financial crisis.

"It's hard to say, what if it's just a superficial phenomenon?"

Lin Changqing remained skeptical.

He has always been suspicious, and he doesn't know if he is in politics or by nature. However, Lin Ming felt that it might be a natural reason, like his mother, she was very arrogant, and she decided to act decisively when she saw the matter. Dad hesitated and studied it again and again. It may be genetic, and Lin Ming's own personality is also a bit similar to him.

"Why don't you come with me and have a look?" I don't think you can sign this kind of contract under the age of eighteen. Lin Ming thought for a while and said, "I only turned fifteen at the beginning of this year, and I don't know if there is such a restriction in the law." ”

Lin Changqing patted his head and said, "I almost forgot, you belong to an undetermined contract, and it must be recognized by the guardian." I'll take a leave of absence from my employer and go with your mom to accompany you. ”

This matter was settled, in addition to Lin Ming being underage, it was also Lin Changqing who was not worried about him, afraid of being deceived.

After breakfast, Lin Changqing asked for leave from the unit.

Lin Ming, accompanied by two parents, sat in his father's unit with a Passat, and in 02, the Volkswagen Passat was almost the standard for department-level cadres (provincial leaders sat on the Audi A6), because civil servants have car regulations, and there are corresponding price regulations for any level. However, there are exceptions, such as ordinary unit section-level cadres are at most a Santana coquette, and those with more funds may even be able to drive the unit's car. Lin Changqing, as a department-level cadre, is qualified to have a Passat. At that time, there was no talk of private use of public cars, and the supervision was not very strict, and it was a common phenomenon for Lin Changqing to drive the unit's car home.

Taomu Music Company is located in the cultural square in the center of the city, which is not very far from Lin Ming's house, and it only takes more than ten minutes to drive there. Parking the car downstairs, Lin Changqing came down to look at the office building, Lin Ming got out of the car and pointed to the twelfth floor and said, "Dad, look, 12.13.14, the three floors are all from their company." ”

"It seems that their company is really good." Lin Changqing nodded. He has heard a little about the project of Cultural Square, and the scale of being able to open a company here is generally not small, especially renting three floors in one go, and the investment is worthy of tens of millions.

Now is the time to go to work, the Cultural Square is crowded with people, and office workers are like students going to school, either with breakfast in their hands or carrying briefcases, hurrying into the several office buildings of the Cultural Square. Following the crowded crowd, a family of three squeezed into the elevator.

The elevator stopped on the twelfth floor, and a couple of people from Peachwood Music walked out. Lin Ming and his parents followed, because the entire floor was peachwood music, and outside the elevator was the front desk, and the staff went in after punching a card at the front desk.

The solemn and generous front desk lady saw Lin Ming and the others coming in, stood up and said politely, "May I ask who you are looking for?" ”

Lin Ming said: "I made an appointment with Mr. Liang last night, my name is Lin Ming." ”

"Hello Mr. Lin." The front desk lady made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Liang said before, if you come over, I will take you in directly, and he will wait for you in the office." ”

"Thank you."

The front desk lady took Lin Ming in.

Compared to last night, the peachwood music during the day is obviously much more lively. A mature music company not only has a strong music team, but also a marketing department, a planning department, an investment department, a research and development department, a music production department, and even a team of agents who manage its artists.

In fact, most music companies and even entertainment companies do not have a dedicated agent team, because in addition to the domestic first-line old entertainment companies, the average entertainment company simply does not have the strength to form such a team.

But Peachwood Music does, which just shows that this music company has not only reached a considerable level of strength, but is even very ambitious to achieve the level of a first-line veteran.
