Volume 1, Heavy Life 02 Chapter 15 Mother's encouragement
It was close to 11 o'clock when Lin Ming got home, his mother was still watching TV in the living room, and his father probably went to sleep.
Fang Lan lay on the sofa, glanced at him, and said lazily, "What are you doing in the afternoon?" Why didn't you come back for dinner? ”
Lin Ming observed his words, and Fang Lan didn't seem to be angry. It's normal to think about it carefully, I have been learning music and tutoring textbook knowledge at Liu He's house during this time, Fang Lan plays mahjong with Liu He's mother in the yard every day, and she must have gotten the news, I wish he would come back a little later every day.
"I went to the music teacher who was lying on him with Liu He to make up for the theoretical knowledge of music." Lin Ming replied honestly: "I just finished my homework, and I haven't eaten yet, Mom, do you still have anything to eat?" ”
Can't lie, the parents in the courtyard are full of eyeliner, if Lin Ming says that he is studying at Liu He's house, he will have to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots the next day.
"I'll go get you a bowl of noodles." Fang Lan got up and went to the kitchen.
Lin Ming followed, stood at the kitchen door and said to Fang Lan: "Mom, tell me something, you help me with the staff." ”
"Say."
"Liu He's teacher is one of the owners of Taomu Music Company, and he values my songs very much and wants to buy all the rights to distribute my songs. The price is the company's shares and the position of music producer, I don't have much talent for business, I don't know if it's a loss or a profit, but their company is quite large. I heard Liu He say that they invested more than 10 million yuan, and if I can get 10 percent of the shares, I will immediately become a millionaire. Lin Ming briefly recounted what happened before, he had never been through business in his previous life, and he was not very clear about the doorway inside, even if Liu He pouted and went on a field trip, he was still a little hesitant.
His character is like this, he is indecisive about small things, but he is very decisive about some big things. Now in Lin Ming's eyes, this matter can only be regarded as a trivial matter, but because the value comparison between the two sides cannot be effectively estimated, coupled with cautious habits, I still want my mother to help refer to it.
Don't look at Fang Lan as if she is a salted fish now, this old mother in the future will be a strong woman in business. Dad resigned and went to the sea, and Fang Lan contributed a lot to the business growth.
Fang Lan skillfully boiled water in the pot, and said casually: "Let me ask you, is your song worth now?" ”
Lin Ming thought for a while and said, "It should be worth a lot in the future." ”
"And now?"
"It's not worth it, after all, it hasn't been released."
"And do they pay for these songs?"
"It should be out."
"Where is the copyright?"
"Here I am."
"Then what else is there to say, how did such a smart man as me give birth to such a stupid son of yours. Don't say that people give you 10% of the shares, I think even if you give you 5%, you will earn it. When other companies distribute all your songs, they have to pay the cost upside down, and when they earn money, they not only have to pay you the purchase fee, but also give you dividends and shares. Where can you find such a good thing? Alas, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, did I break your brain when I was a child, and I can't figure out such a simple thing? Fang Lan said very politely: "The company that can invest 10 million yuan is definitely not a small company, they invest so much money to make the company bigger, and then come to you for something?" Figure your few broken songs that are worthless now? What if these things are scammed? You have to remember that you are a person who has not invested any money except for a little work, which is equivalent to an empty glove white wolf, even if the wolf doesn't get it, it doesn't matter, you don't have anything to lose anyway, it's a big deal that you get the copyright of your broken songs right now, and hold it firmly in your own hands, anyway, people don't want your copyright, even if you are deceived at that time, the lawsuit is down, isn't the song still yours? Now that people have such good conditions, not only do they not make any excessive demands, but they will also continue to make money for you in the future, which still disagrees with whether you are a pig or not? ”
Liang Xiaoyue's conditions for Lin Mingkai are actually very favorable, although he did not specify how many shares he would give, but it will definitely not be less than five percent. And they only need the right to distribute, not copyright. In other words, once Lin Ming changes his mind, all his songs, Peachwood Music will not be available, and he has a lot of trust in Lin Ming.
It can even be said that this is no longer a trick of Taomu Company, but a bloody effort to win him over.
Mother's words made Lin Ming suddenly brightened, not that he was really stupid, but he had suffered a lot of losses in his previous life. For this pie-in-the-sky thing, there is some natural resistance and a stage of skepticism. A sudden good thing will always make him wonder if the other party has other goals that cannot be guessed.
It was precisely because of his nearly thirty years of experience that Lin Ming became wary of this kind of thing. This reaction is the correct reaction after Lin Ming is reborn. If it is an ordinary high school student, when he encounters such a good thing, he will definitely be happy not to find the north and agree on the spot.
Lin Ming, on the other hand, needed to go through careful research and thinking before he could make up his mind. Because it's not just about whether your first pot of gold can be earned through music. It is also about their own future development and planning.
But after being reminded by his mother, Lin Ming gradually came to his senses. The era is different, and the way everyone thinks about problems is also different. In this era when the economy is just taking off, commercial fraud and hidden operations may exist, but there are definitely not too many, and most of them are developed coastal cities. At the time of 02, people's business philosophy was still biased towards a relatively simple business mode that as long as you work hard, you will definitely have returns. Especially for a large company like Peachwood Music, which has invested nearly 10 million yuan, it will definitely move forward steadily like a big ship, and if the trick of the conspiracy ghost domain accidentally capsizes, the investment of 10 million in 02 will definitely be the rhythm of bankruptcy.
Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of business philosophy or investment scale, Liang Xiaoyue is not allowed to do particularly insidious things. In fact, even if Lin Ming's songs are sold out, in the environment of 02, no matter how good the quality is, it will only cost 20,000 yuan or 30,000 yuan at most, and a total of more than 30 songs will be less than one million yuan.
With the scale of peach wood music, you can definitely eat it, and this way of eating is still quite profitable. Because at that time, the copyright of songs would be counted when buying and selling songs, and the price of a song would definitely be far from the price of a song of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in later generations, but after all, it was more than ten years ago.
And Liang Xiaoyue chose to cooperate with Lin Ming in this way, and even the copyright belongs to him, which is to give you full trust. The only purpose is to tie Lin Ming to Peachwood Music, so that Lin Ming's talent can only serve Peachwood Music.
What Liang Xiaoyue values is never the dozens of songs in Lin Ming's hands, but the hundreds of songs in the future and his musical talent. In comparison, the small cake in front of you is clear at a glance compared to the steak feast in the future.
As we always say in life, people should take a long-term view, think about problems by drawing inferences from one another, and see the essence through phenomena. You can't just see the small profits in front of you and forget about the future development. This is especially important when doing business, and Liang Xiaoyue's actions are the best proof of this.
"I see." Lin Ming nodded and said, "Mom, help me ask for a leave tomorrow, and I'll go to their company to talk about this matter." I won't come back for dinner, Zhao Hao's birthday, I have to go. ”
"Okay, I'll call your homeroom teacher tomorrow." Fang Lan was very open-minded and agreed. Lin Changqing hesitated before resigning and going to sea, if it weren't for his mother's full support, maybe Lin Changqing would have been just a department-level cadre who did nothing in his life, without backstage help, even if he retired, it was difficult to say that he could get mixed up at the deputy department level.
Fang Lan ordered Lin Ming a bowl of egg noodles, and Lin Ming took it back to the room, listening to English while eating. His family had the kind of old-fashioned tape recorder, the kind that played cassette tapes, which belonged to antique appliances in later generations, but now they are the standard equipment in every household. It turns out that Lin Ming only uses this thing when playing music, but now he has to do English listening questions every night, seal all the song tapes, buy a large number of English tapes to bring back, and listen to English listening for two hours before going to sleep. After returning from rebirth, Lin Ming will not let go of every opportunity to study now, and strive to improve his grades, be admitted to a high school, and move towards a higher goal is his right path.
.......
With parents asking for leave, Li Yi naturally has no problem there. Because of the late review last night, and the fact that my mother was allowed to take leave, the next morning, Lin Mingqi was a little late, and when he walked out of the living room, it was already close to eight o'clock.
Lin Changqing was watching TV in the living room, and when he saw Lin Ming coming out, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Son, why didn't you go to morning self-study today?" ”
"Mom gave me a leave of absence."
Lin Ming saw that his mother was busy making breakfast for his father in the kitchen, and shouted, "Mom, make me breakfast." ”
With that, he went to the toilet to wash up.
“???”
Lin Changqing had a question mark on his face and said loudly to the kitchen: "Fang Lan, what's the matter?" Is my son sick? ”
On weekdays, Fang Lan urges Lin Ming to study, and Fang Lan's supervision method is extremely strict, from the beginning of the first year, Lin Ming is not allowed to watch TV, and he must stay in his room to read books every day after school, and conduct surprise inspections at any time. Sometimes Lin Ming has a cold and fever, and he has some minor illnesses, not to mention asking for leave to sleep at home, don't even think about going to the hospital for injections, buy him some medicine, and force Lin Ming to continue studying. At that time, he always advocated reading and being promising, and with Fang Lan's good face and strong personality, he naturally hoped that his son could be admitted to a good university and glorify his ancestors. But Lao Lin's official position in the family building of the government compound full of middle and high-level cadres is not conspicuous, not to mention the comparison of his son's academic performance with those brothers and sisters in the courtyard who were admitted to Mizuki Shouda, and even the seven partners who were young in childhood have better grades than one another. Except for Lin Ming, the rest of the people all went to No. 1 Middle School, which naturally made Fang Lan lose face. After Fang Lan went to high school, her supervision of Lin Ming became more and more strict, and she forgot to bring her books back at night, nagging and scolding for half an hour, which was considered light.
But what makes Lao Lin different today is that his wife asked for a leave of absence for her son for the first time. Seeing his son's ruddy face and extremely healthy appearance, lazily leaning on the sofa, it was the same as his mother's usual laziness, and he didn't look like he was sick at all, which naturally puzzled Lao Lin.
