Two days later, the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou, which opened in 1983, has been the most favorite hotel for Hong Kong businessmen to invest in Guangzhou, not because the environment is good, mainly because one of the investors is Mr. Fok, who is famous in Hong Kong.

Last year, when the Queen of England visited the mainland, she went to this White Swan Hotel and ate a roast suckling pig, which also made the White Swan Hotel more and more famous and became the first big hotel in Guangzhou.

The first hotel naturally has the most expensive rooms, the cheapest double rooms in one night are more than 200 fast, and the highest has thousands of presidential suites, which is far from what ordinary people live in at this time.

"Yan Ge, in fact, we don't need to stay so good, I feel similar to any hotel in Shenzhen, why spend 200 yuan for a night."

The thought of having to spend two hundred yuan for one night here, Xue Ke was very distressed, looked at the white sheets, and thought that this was a bed, it was gold!

Li Yange glanced at him, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and said, "Don't want to live?" If you don't want to live, I'll give you money, you go outside and find a small hotel again, and I just happen to sleep alone and be happy, so that there will be no snoring at night. ”

"Hey...... How can I do it, isn't it a waste of money, anyway, I live in it, and two hundred yuan is two hundred yuan. "Xue Ke is not a fool, how could he not live in such a good hotel, and live in a small hotel without air conditioners outside.

"If you want to live, don't talk nonsense, you think I'm willing, if it weren't for the next thing to talk about cooperation, I wouldn't want to spend so much money to live here."

Li Yange rolled his eyes, two hundred yuan is almost enough for a college student's living expenses for a semester, and he is not a luxury person, how can he spend so much money in vain.

Hearing Li Yange say this, Xue Ke was curious: "By the way, Yange, have you figured out to find that record company?" ”

What he wanted to do in Guangzhou this time, Li Yange also briefly told Xue Ke that the purpose of coming south to Guangzhou this time was to cooperate with the record company here, and the other party was responsible for the production and release of the album, while Li Yange was responsible for the production of the album and the singer.

Of course, this reason is to fool Xue Ke, who doesn't understand anything, unless Li Yange pays the other party to produce and distribute it, it is impossible for any record company to agree to this kind of cooperation.

It's a loss-making business.

Li Yange thought about it and said uncertainly: "I have taken a fancy to two companies, but it's hard to say which one it is." ”

As the most rapid economic development in Guangzhou after the reform and opening up, not only many physical enterprises were born, but the entertainment industry is also quite developed.

In 1979, not long after the planned reform and opening up, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Radio, Film and Television invested in the establishment of the first "Pacific Audio-Visual Company" without the prefix of administrative units and regions, which was regarded as breaking the solidified record industry in China for decades in one fell swoop.

It has successively launched Jiang Dawei, Cheng Fangyuan and other outstanding singers, and after Fei Xiang came to the mainland two years ago, Pacific Company took the lead in becoming the first company in China to sign singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

It can be said that it has created many precedents.

Since then, a large number of record companies have sprung up in Guangzhou, but most of them have been established by state-owned enterprises or state-owned units.

For example, the Guangzhou branch of China Records, which starts with the national character; and the New Era Audio-Visual Company, which was jointly sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Bureau and the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee......

These are all well-known record companies in Guangzhou in the eighties and nineties.

Pacific and China Records have already risen at this time, record sales are increasing every year, and the signings are all current domestic popular singers.

So for these two companies, Li Yange thought about them for a long time and decided not to look for them, they are strong, even if he says it out of the sky, I am afraid it will be difficult to say that it is moving, and they all have a big background, and Li Yange does not want to cause trouble.

In the end, after thinking about it, I decided to talk to the new era audio-visual company first.

Although this company also has a background, it is only a tentative investment for the time being, and when it was established in 1984, it only had a registered capital of 120,000 yuan, which was not as high as Li Yange's company's registered capital.

……

……

A new era of audio-visual company.

In an office, Li Qiang, the general manager, looked at the dismal sales of the company's recent records, and also had a headache.

The highest is more than 2,000 sheets, and the money earned back is not as much as the money consumed by the factory to fill the tapes.

For five months in a row, the company has been in deficit.

If it weren't for the business of the Cultural Bureau and the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, which undertook printed advertising, audio-visual advertising, and disks, I am afraid that the company would have collapsed two months ago.

Knock Knock –

Hearing the knock on the door, Li Qiang didn't raise his head and said, "Come in." ”

With a click, the door was opened, and a clerk of the company said, "Manager Li, someone came out and said he wanted to see you." ”

Li Qiang looked up and asked, "See me?" What's your name, did you say anything about me? ”

"He said that his surname was Li, and he said that he was a record company from Hong Kong and wanted to cooperate with us."

Li Qiang sat up from the stool with a loud voice, "Are you sure it's a company from Hong Kong?" ”

"It's... That's what I said, but I don't have a similar accent, and Mandarin is very standard. ”

"It doesn't matter if the accent is from, as long as it's from Hong Kong, where are they?"

Li Qiang didn't care, the accent didn't seem like it was normal, he went to Hong Kong to talk to people about the release of mainland records before, there was a person in charge of Baodao, fluent in Chinese, even Li Qiang was not as good as others.

"I'm invited to the conference room."

"I'll go over, you can pour three cups of tea later."

"It's Manager Li."

Li Qiang hurriedly walked out of the office door and went straight to the conference room, and when he arrived at the door, he saw a man sitting in the room, and the young appearance of the other party made him puzzled.

But because of the recent dismal business of the company, Li Qiang didn't think much about it, and walked in very politely and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the company is too busy, let me introduce myself, the contemptible Li Qiang is the general manager of the new era audio-visual company." ”

Li Yange said with a smile: "Manager Li is polite, I should be the one who should apologize, and I took the liberty to disturb without making an appointment this time." ”

Hearing that Li Yange's Mandarin was not like a treasure island accent, Li Qiang frowned, but still stretched out his hand and said, "I don't know which company Mr. Li is from in Hong Kong?" ”

"Hong Kong Times Records, this time I came mainly to talk to Manager Li about a cooperation."

"Mr. Lee is from Hong Kong?"

Hearing this, Li Yange understood that this Manager Li had doubts about his accent and age, and shook his head with a smile and said, "Manager Li, does my accent look like a Hong Kong person?" To tell you the truth, I am from Rongcheng, and when I came to Guangzhou this time, the main company sent me over to find a suitable company to seek cooperation......"

After Li Yange's explanation, Li Qiang understood that because the records of this era are rooted in Hong Kong, they don't know much about the mainland market.

As a mainlander, Li Yange is familiar with the record market here, so he asked him to come over to see if there is a suitable company to cooperate with in order to release albums for the mainland singers signed by Times Records.
