Just when Death Note sales began to trend downward.

Lin Hao's Cote d'Azur company has officially announced the start of business.

Right now, it's May.

On the side of Xinhe Building, the decoration of the 13th and 14th floors has been completed one after another, and there is no problem in the follow-up acceptance.

At the same time, all the equipment for foreign trade has also arrived.

The factory on the foreign side is responsible for coordinating the installation.

In short, after a period of intense busyness, these high-end electronic devices are almost the same as debugging, and they can be used directly.

The balance of these two batches was settled, plus the purchase of some office daily necessities, Lin Hao really didn't have much money under his hands.

If it weren't for the fact that there was some continuous income from the Gundam online store for him to withdraw at any time, he wouldn't even be able to get the wages of the people under his hands.

Although it is the day of the opening of the company.

But it's not really sensational.

Except for Du Fei sending people to send a few pairs of large flower baskets to celebrate, there were no people in this circle present, and it was deserted.

After all, Lin Hao has been working behind the scenes, and there are not many people in terms of personnel communication, which is very limited.

It's just that this kind of atmosphere is very good, even if there are too many people, it is messy, and he has to be busy with all kinds of coping, tired.

Find someone in the office and go downstairs and put a few cannonballs.

In this way, it is a celebration of the opening.

The reason why we chose to open now.

It's not because the decoration and equipment are all in place.

Instead, the previous recruitment work has made a lot of progress so far.

The new producer from the music department is called Fang Zhenhai.

I used to work in other companies of the same type, and then I started my own business after making some money.

The result is self-evident, the failure is a mess, and if you go back, people don't want it, and you happen to come here when you are desperate.

Lin Hao looked at the other party's resume, he had indeed participated in a lot of works, and he had some ability, so he left it for the other party.

Except for him.

There are also Shen Li, the manager of the artist department, and Shi Hongchao, the manager of the business department.

The former is a strong woman in her thirties and her resume is not bad, while the latter is older, steady and unhurried.

During the period, there are some scattered talents who are just needed.

18 people in total.

The office of these 18 people is arranged on the 13th floor.

Lin Hao renovated this floor into a music studio, which has a recording studio, an artist lounge, a tea bar, a small conference room, etc...

The 14th floor is temporarily a combination of a canteen and an activity room.

Although the personnel aspect is now recruited, there is still no way to carry out the business.

There are two reasons for this.

First, the company has just been established and can't get orders, Shi Hongchao has just taken over in this regard, and it is a little difficult to start, so he has to be given some time.

The second is that the company currently has no artists, although the office system framework is basically perfect, how can it be called an entertainment company without artists?

So, Shen Li found Lin Hao to discuss this issue.

"I think we can try to poach some well-known singers in other companies, and it is also convenient to improve our company's reputation as soon as possible."

This was Shen Li's initial idea.

As a newly established company, there are not many ways to do it.

It doesn't sound very glamorous, but it definitely works.

Moreover, with a few molding singers to open up the market, the company can also develop its business as soon as possible.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"No, it's too much investment." Lin Hao didn't think about it when he heard this, he just shook his head and refused.

Don't say that he can't afford to give the other party good contract treatment, it is liquidated damages, and he can't afford to pay it at present.

Unless it's the kind of singer whose contract is about to expire is willing to take the initiative to come over and develop, but this possibility is basically non-existent.

"That's... Why don't you sign some new people and train them ourselves? Shen Li turned to continue.

She didn't look down on this boss because of her age.

I am only a commenter, not a decision-maker, and there is nothing I can refute in this regard.

Since the first option is not accepted, there is a second option, but this one is slightly more ordinary.

In the present.

It's a no-brainer.

"Newcomer?"

Lin Hao was immediately stunned.

Not to mention, Shen Li's suggestion actually coincided with what he was thinking.

After all, from his point of view, the newcomer still has a great advantage.

A complete blank sheet of paper is easy to draw, and the requirements are low, easy to cultivate, compared with famous singers, the cost performance is very prominent.

Of course, there are also shortcomings, that is, the problem of skill, but this aspect can be balanced in other ways.

For example...

Compositionally?

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Yes, you can continue." ”

Shen Li saw that her boss was interested in this proposal, but she was able to say what she thought.

The quickest way to recruit newcomers is to recruit them directly from major conservatories.

Every year, how do the outstanding newcomers of major music companies come from, and more than half of them pick up good seedlings from this.

In addition to schools.

There are a lot of freelance musicians outside, too.

As long as the price is in place, I am not afraid that the other party will not come.

No matter how dissatisfied I am, there are still a lot of singing talent shows on local TV stations, all of which are newcomers with some singing strength.

It's just that our own company has no advantage in this regard, and if you really want to talk about it, the opportunity is not very big, and the competition is too fierce.

Listen to Shen Li's analysis.

Lin Hao quickly fell into thought.

Although the other party said a lot, in fact, he still preferred the first one.

The Conservatory recruits inside.

To put it bluntly, it's best to save money.

"Then let's recruit from the academy first."

So, he immediately made a decision.

Shen Li nodded.

I probably figured out the intentions of my boss a little.

It's just that there is no one under her hands at the moment, so this kind of thing can only be run in person.

For example, when a well-known large company recruits people, people often contact the school, and the school will come forward to negotiate first.

I think it's okay, and the two sides will make an appointment to talk about signing a contract or something.

However, I am a small company that has just been established, and no one cares, and it is impossible for people to do this, so I can only find it myself.

The whole of Jiangning.

There are many large and small music academies, and it is enough for her to choose a few at random.

Of course, Shen Li is not recruited by all kinds of students.

Often when she goes to a college, she first asks on the spot which department has better students.

The meaning of this 'excellent' is often to sing well in music, or to have a certain musical talent that far surpasses others in terms of strength.

There are such people.

But most of them have already signed contracts.

It is a kind of normalization to have the identity of both a student and a trainee at the same time.

Especially here in the pop music department, the top-notch seedlings don't worry about where to go at all.

Occasionally one or two exceptions are reached.

But as soon as people heard that it was a little-known company, they turned around and left without saying a word, and some people even almost thought they were liars.

Shen Li once felt that this was the biggest challenge since she started her career.

Asking for money money is not.

To have a background background there is not.

It's all about one mouth.

But it's okay, it's the early days of the company's start, and it should have overcome the difficulties.

Compared with himself, Shi Hongchao of the business department is afraid that he is more tired, and he can be scrapped by pulling orders.

Come to think of it.

Her mood suddenly improved.

Coming out of the corridors of the pop music department.

Walking around the beautiful campus is an alternative way to decompress.

Shen Li, who was about to leave, was suddenly attracted by a burst of drama in the distance.

I couldn't help but lean over and take a look.

It turned out that several students from the opera department were frolicking and rehearsing a stage play.

Seeing this, her eyes lit up.

Suddenly I had another idea in my heart.

The pop music department doesn't work, but the opera department can also try.

Although there is an essential difference between the two.

But if you can sing opera well, you may not be good at pop music.

And in Shen Li's view, there is an additional professional advantage invisibly.

Think so.

She suddenly had another sense of motivation.

This momentum has also led to the successful recruitment of two new hires for the company.

"Shan Qi and Mo Xiaoyu, are they all students of the opera department?" Seeing the resume handed over by Shen Li, Lin Hao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this.

"Mo Xiaoyu is from the opera department, Shan Qi stayed in the pop music department for a while before, and then turned around, but picked up a surprise."

Shen Li slowly explained: "And these two people have a good image, and they are also passable in singing. ”

"What about treatment? What didn't they say? ”

Lin Hao is more concerned about this.

At present, the company has set up three levels of contracts for singers.

These contracts are modeled after other entertainment companies, and are divided into three levels: A, B, and C.

The highest is A-level, with a commission of about 15 percent, and the lowest is C-level, only one percent, but with the blessing of commercial performances and announcement activities, Lin Hao also plans to take 70 percent from it, which is higher than other large companies.

As for why the contract was so harsh, Lin Hao did not explain it to Shen Li.

"Nope."

Shen Li shook her head.

What can the other party say?

Don't look at it as a small company.

But this kind of opportunity is not available to everyone.

What's more, with their current major, it is simply difficult to debut in a music company.

Just as they need the potential of these two people, the two of them also need this opportunity, where to dare to pick and choose.

"That's good." Lin Hao nodded with satisfaction, he liked this kind of happy newcomer.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, do you have to recruit an agent for the two of them?" Shen Li raised her head and asked.

I'm the manager of the artist department, and now I'm going down to recruit people, so I'm a little shabby, mainly because I'm tired.

And these two newcomers come in, they can't follow up on their own, right?

"Okay, I'll let them arrange it as soon as possible." Lin Hao also understood this, and immediately nodded.
