Reading a proposal is a time-consuming and energy-consuming task.

Because the proposal means cooperation, and the commercial cooperation involves money, the result is that the contract must be signed.

Having said that, although Runa Igarashi was involved in contracts of more than 10 billion and was smashed by that huge number, she can still keep a calm look at the contracts of hundreds of millions and billions.

Hikaru Kurosawa looked through the selected plan books and felt wonderful.

He feels like the CEO of a large company, traveling outside the mountains and rivers on weekdays, taking time to go back and forth to the company, and having a beautiful secretary to accompany him to deal with the stacked contracts.

"Yes."

"I'm going to ask Mr. Zero Hour about this first, I don't know if he's free."

Ryuna Igarashi received a phone call, and after a simple conversation, she pressed her finger to the microphone and said:

"Kurosawa, Sony said they want to meet again tomorrow."

"Give me my phone."

Hikaru Kurosawa, who was reading the plan book with Jiro's legs crossed, was silent for a while, and stretched out his hand.

"Who are you?"

After receiving the phone, Hikaru Kurosawa was the first to ask.

"Mr. Zero, I'm Takeda Tsuma, and we met in the morning."

The person on the other end of the phone was one of the three people who came to negotiate a contract on behalf of Sony this morning, Takeda Suma.

"I'll be free tomorrow morning, but whether I want to meet or not depends on the conditions you offer, whether you're sincere or not."

After confirming his identity, Kurosawa Guan was not polite and said bluntly.

"Mr. Zero, we have absolutely no intention of fooling you, and the conditions this time will definitely satisfy you."

"Oh? What conditions did Sony offer this time? ”

Hearing her ticket-like tone, Hikaru Kurosawa pulled the corners of his mouth and asked.

"The guaranteed reserve price of the contract has been increased to 30 billion, and other conditions and requirements remain unchanged."

Faced with his problems, Takeda Suma was not afraid to speak, full of confidence.

It is indeed better to negotiate the conditions first and then meet in person, further discuss the details, and then sign the contract, and will not waste the time of both parties.

The contract with a minimum guarantee of 30 billion yen is a super contract that shocks the industry when looking at the world.

Because Kurosawa Hikaru turned on the amplification with his hand, Runa Igarashi on the side heard 30 billion, and those beautiful eyes widened.

With the same conditions and requirements, it was only rejected once, and in less than a day, it soared to 30 billion in the blink of an eye...... No wonder Kurosawa said Sony was insincere.

"Is that sincere?"

It's just that Hikaru Kurosawa was still dissatisfied when he heard this price code, and frowned.

He thought that Sony was rejected once, realized the problem, and asked for cooperation for the second time, and would show a serious attitude, and the result was like this?

"Isn't that sincere?"

Takeda Tsuima, who was still full of confidence, was completely unconfident by his dissatisfied and questioning tone.

She was shocked when the board of directors discussed for an afternoon, finalized the requirements and conditions of the new contract, studied it repeatedly, submitted the materials to approve it, and finally came up with the price.

Because she had never seen the speed of decision-making at the top so fast...... I'm afraid it's because of the two fierce rivals of apples and penguins.

"It doesn't count."

Hikaru Kurosawa said firmly.

"What does it take to be sincere?"

Takeda only felt that his worldview, outlook on life, and values had collapsed, but based on his professional instinct for communication, he still asked patiently.

"If the price is doubled several times according to your company's request, I may agree."

Hikaru Kurosawa made a rough estimate and was not sure about it.

"How many times?"

Takeda Tsuuma gasped, only to feel his head buzzing.

How many times is 30 billion, isn't that hundreds of billions? Did he think that the money was blown by the wind?

Not to mention 100 billion, even if it is 30 billion, she has never seen so much money in her life.

"If you don't want to pay such a price, you can lower the requirements appropriately. That's what your company asked, and I might not say yes. ”

Hikaru Kurosawa didn't think he was speaking amazingly, but he just relayed his thoughts.

“……”

Takeda Suuma found that he was not joking, and he was speechless for a while.

"It's not up to you to call the bills about this, just pass on my request. If your company is willing to agree to my request, call us again, if not, you don't have to call. ”

Kurosawa Hikaru knew that her position and status were not high, so he didn't talk nonsense with her and hung up the phone strongly.

"Kurosawa, are you serious? 30 billion will be multiplied several times. ”

Seeing that he hung up the phone, Runa Igarashi couldn't help but ask.

"Seriously, of course."

Hikaru Kurosawa nodded in affirmation.

"How could they agree to such conditions......"

"It's possible that they can agree, because of the contract proposed by Sony, they conservatively estimate that they can earn hundreds of billions."

"Can they make so much?"

Ryuna Igarashi didn't understand and was shocked.

"I'll settle an account for you, and you'll understand."

Kurosawa Hikaru saw that she couldn't understand, and after thinking about it, he simply explained it to her, so as not to shock her all the time.

"Okay."

When Runa Igarashi saw that he was going to explain, she naturally listened attentively.

After a pause, Hikaru Kurosawa sorted out his thoughts, took a pen and paper on the desktop next to him, and explained to her in detail while writing and drawing:

"Sony's contract, the superficial income is the copyright of 10 songs, 5% of the profit from album sales, and the drainage and promotion of streaming music software.

The first is the copyright of songs, the physical record market is sluggish, Sony's revenue last year was 770 million US dollars, that is, about 100 billion yen, which can be converted into Sony sold 30 million albums.

Just when I sell 3 million copies of an album every year, and 30 million copies in 10 years, according to 55 percent, a simple and crude calculation, it is a profit of 50 billion.

But in fact, Sony's contract with me is not about an album or the rights to 10 songs, but about 60 songs. ”

"60 songs?"

Runa Igarashi was stunned and couldn't help but interrupt.

Isn't that buying ten songs? How did it become 60 songs?

"Sony's requirement for me is to shoot at least twice a year, that is, to be an image spokesperson. A new album in 2 years, if there are 10 songs per album, that's 50 songs. ”

Kurosawa glanced at her and explained.

This kind of sales is his low estimate, because the performance effect of his perfect piano is too explosive.

Now he is even putting aside the classic masterpieces of his previous life, and playing it casually is a natural sound.

"I see."

Ryuna Igarashi looked at the diagram of drawing in circles as he spoke, and immediately understood.

Immediately, Hikaru Kurosawa continued to explain to her.

"Even if there are 5 albums, each album sells 10 million copies, that's 50 million copies, which is 160 billion sales."

"Sony's revenue in the streaming market last year was $6.37 billion, equivalent to 875.4 billion yen, which is far better than the physical album market, which is the trend of the times. The bigger the number, the more difficult it is to calculate, just if my album sales are 10 billion a year, that is also 100 billion.

However, the most valuable aspect of this contract for Sony is that it can help Sony cement its position as the number one streamer, and the value is difficult to estimate. ”

"180 billion?"

Runa Igarashi watched him write the calculation on the paper, (500 + 800 + 500 = Sony profit), and was immediately shocked.

It's not profitable, because Sony took the initiative to contact to seek cooperation, as well as active contact, in fact, she can vaguely feel that Sony must have a plan, and it can make money.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that Sony could make so much money.

"You understand now why I said they were insincere, right?"

Hikaru Kurosawa saw her shocked little expression and felt a little funny and cute.

"Understood."

Runa Igarashi nodded.

Kurosawa's reckoning this time, coupled with the diagram, is already equivalent to stuffing the answer into her mouth.

No wonder Kurosawa heard the offer of 13 billion and 30 billion, but he still felt that Sony was insincere, and the price was too low.

Suddenly, she thought of another level, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.

Because Sony and the zero-hour office are 55 points, that is, how much Sony can earn, the same is true for the zero-hour office.

"Sony can make at least 180 billion, and if you give 30 billion, you want to share 150 billion, which is completely wishful thinking. And this is my more conservative estimate, Sony signed this contract with me, and their profit is at least 300 billion. ”

Seeing that she really understood this time, Hikaru Kurosawa did not forget to add.

"Is this still conservative? What if it's an aggressive estimate? ”

Runa Igarashi was shocked by the number he said again, and asked.

"For Sony, the value of cooperating with us is at least 600 billion."

Hikaru Kurosawa thought for a moment and made a bold guess.

Sony's music division, Sony Music Entertainment, had a turnover of 1.37 trillion last year and a profit of 265 billion.

Aside from these superficial figures, market influence, equity, company image, industry status, comprehensive copyright operation and other comprehensive aspects, cooperating with him, for Sony, this value is 600 billion, which is not too much.

"Wow......"

Igarashi Runa didn't know what expression to use to react, she just felt dumbfounded.

She had long expected that cooperating with a super large company of Sony's level would definitely make a lot of money...... But that's crazy, isn't it? Is this how money is earned?

"Anyway, I'll call the shots for this contract, you just have to watch it."

Seeing her shocked little expression, Hikaru Kurosawa was a little amused, and he also admonished.

It is no exaggeration to say that this cooperation is the most important cooperation for Zero Hour Law Firm.

He can't say that he has a complete grasp of his own value, after all, he has been a shopkeeper for a long time, and he is not an industry person, and he does not have much time to investigate, so he does not know much about the entertainment industry and the music industry.

It's just that after he took over the proposal and relied on his financial cognition to conduct market research, he still had a general understanding of his own value.

30 billion just want to eat cake with him, what kind of sincerity is this?

You know, there is a market competition relationship between Sony, Apple, and penguins.

Competitive pressure will invisibly raise the price, for these three companies, signing a contract with him, as long as it is not too outrageous, is definitely a sure profit.

In fact, Zero Hour can actually sell albums independently without cooperating with three companies, and can hold all the profits in their hands.

It's a pity that the Zero Hour Office is too small, and it has not been established long ago, and it is difficult to produce and release albums independently.

For the first 10 years, I worked with one of these three large companies to maximize profits.

In the second decade, when you have enough money and connections, you can choose to sell independently, and Zero Hour will be able to transform into a behemoth in the music industry.

"You're in charge...... How much do they offer to satisfy you? 100 billion yen is not a small amount, even if it is a large company such as Sony, Penguin, and Apple, it is not easy to ask them to come up with it in one go. ”

Realizing the importance of this collaboration, Runa Igarashi completely put aside the idea of interjecting and pointing fingers, and was just curious.

She was curious to know what kind of outcome this cooperation would end.

Although she never worked at Sony, she knew that a company could actually use not as much liquidity as people might think.

During this time, she was busy with work every day, and she had been reading books and checking information to recharge herself, wanting to make herself a qualified boss.

"100 billion yen seems like a lot, but in fact, it's just like that, they can buy a company at random than this kind of cooperation."

Hikaru Kurosawa has a different view.

Maybe 100 billion yen, for many neon companies, can't come up with such a large amount of money.

But for Sony, Penguin, and Apple, this amount of money is harmless at all.

"Indeed."

Although Runa Igarashi was shocked, she agreed with it when she thought about it.

If you think about it carefully, the companies she knows are not of the same magnitude as super companies like Sony, Penguin, and Apple.

It's just that what she didn't react to for a while was...... This concept is actually unequal.

You must know that for any large enterprise, the acquisition of a company is a strategic decision and a major plan for strategic layout.

"In fact, their offer is not the most important thing, the key is other conditions, such as sales share. If a company can offer a ratio of 73 or 82, let alone 30 billion, even if it is 13 billion, I will sign the contract, anyway, we are not in a hurry to use the money. ”

The more Kurosawa pondered, the clearer his thoughts became.

Buying out at a fixed price is just a stepping stone to cooperation, and it is good to be able to see the sincerity of cooperation.

The bulk of the profit of this cooperation still lies in the sharing.

Of course, if a company is willing to give a super high price, it is not impossible for him to sell it directly.

At that moment, Runa Igarashi's cell phone rang, and she picked it up and took a look.

"Is it a penguin or an apple?"

The stakes are high, Hikaru Kurosawa asked.

Although he said that he was not interested in money, he was still very interested in a lot of money.

After all, the balance in his bank card is not yet so much that money is just a number.

"It's Chizuru, should I take it?"

Runa Igarashi shook her head, and pointed the phone screen at him on the side of her wrist for him to see, a little nervous.

"Definitely take it, why not? We're working, not in bed, are we still afraid of her catching rape? And she knows I'm with you, I told her last night, and I'm talking to you about work today. ”

Hikaru Kurosawa found out that the note was really Chizuru, and when he noticed her nervousness, he was immediately happy.

"You said it earlier."

Runa Igarashi reacted, realizing that she really didn't need to be nervous, coughed lightly twice to hide her embarrassment, and gave him a blank look.

Immediately, she answered the phone and took the initiative to speak:

"Chizuru, what's wrong?"

"Runa, how about the contract today?"

Although there was no amplification, Hikaru Kurosawa's sense of hearing was very keen, and when he pricked up his ears, he heard Chizuru's voice coming from the microphone.

"It's not a good talk, Sony, Penguin, and Apple are not sincere, and it depends on the follow-up."

Runa Igarashi shook her head and responded.

"Good things are grinding, don't worry, is Kurosawa by your side? Or did he go back? ”

"He's with me, and he hasn't come home yet."

"You asked him to look at his phone, I messaged him, and he didn't look at it."

"Did you call me just to let him see what you sent?"

"Yes."

"You're going too far, call me, but it turns out to be someone else."

At the same time, hearing their conversation, Hikaru Kurosawa also took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened Line to read the message.

Because he has too many girlfriends, he is always with a certain girl, in order to avoid being seen and making people jealous, so he rarely reads information unless he is idle or when he comes home.

At this glance, he found that Sister Qianhe really sent a message:

"Kurosawa, Mercedes-Benz sent me a message saying that they contacted you, but you didn't answer the phone and didn't reply to the message."

"The car dealer said that the Maybach we booked will arrive at 5:27 p.m. today, and asked you when you will pick up the car."

"Tomorrow."

When Kurosawa saw these two pieces of information, his heart moved, and he immediately replied.

Just kidding, since the ordered car has arrived, of course, the sooner you drive it, the better.

Today, this chapter is more complicated to write
