Cassette machines, tape tapes, these things, were invented very early.

Although it is not clear when it was, Yang Zhen is clear about one thing, that is, during the Anti-Japanese War, some domestic spies began to use cassette recorders to record and collect evidence.

According to these memories, the cassette machine, if it is the latest, should be a product of the twenties and thirties.

It's just that at the beginning, because of industrial and technical reasons, the cassette machine is still a high-tech product, and the price is extremely high, so it cannot be popularized at all.

It is really popular, that is, it has been a matter of the past ten or twenty years.

Anyway, with the re-emergence of Xiao Ri after the war, many electronic products that were originally high on the ground have gradually fallen off the altar with the explosion of Xiao Ri's technology in related aspects.

This is true for TVs, electromechanical refrigerators, and the like, as well as cassette machines.

Anyway, now in foreign countries, young people have a cassette player pinned to their waists, a few tapes in their pockets, and they listen to songs on the street while dunging, which is already commonplace, and it is not a new thing at all.

However, in China, the cassette machine is still an extremely new thing.

Not to mention production, even Xin Youzhong, who specializes in making a living by walking water, almost never sees anyone smuggling cassette machines into China.

There is no one who even walks on the water, so it is naturally even more difficult to see it on the market.

However, Yang Zhen is not worried about this at all.

After all, the reason why he called the two of them over was for this reason.

Because he plans to buy a few cassette machines and tape production lines and come back, and produce his own cassette machines and tapes!

Hearing Yang Zhen's plan, let alone Zheng Xiaolong, even Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but be dumbfounded......

The reason why this is so is very simple, that is, he originally meant to see if Yang Zhen could get some blank tapes and rippers back, and then sell them to those who have tape recorders at home after the Chinese record the songs.

Who knew that Yang Zhen actually did it in one step, and actually wanted to directly introduce the production line, from the production of cassette machines to the sales of tapes.

With such a big stroke, how can it not be surprised?

However, I think that not to mention the domestic tape recorder is still one of the major items for young people to get married, and even the occasional sporadic cassette player on the market can easily cost fifty or sixty yuan a piece, which is more than the monthly salary of ordinary workers......

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a little weak when he looked at Yang Zhen's eyes, and said in his heart that a cassette machine production line would cost millions to say the least, and it would have to be foreign exchange.

With such a big investment, he was really afraid that when the production line was established, the things would not be sold in the end, and Yang Zhen would lose money.

For this, Yang Zhen himself is not worried at all.

After all, he knows very well that the reason why no one has gone to the water is because of the sales of the cassette machine, and the cassette machine itself is only one of the links.

It's more about tape.

If you just have a cassette machine and no new tapes, then there is no novelty at all for people who play cassette machines.

In this case, that is to say, if you want to make money from the cassette machine, the cassette machine itself is actually just a small head, but it is the sales of tapes, which is the big head!

Although compared with the price of a cassette with a motorized fifty or sixty yuan, a cassette is only two or three yuan, and it doesn't look like it's worth much.

But the key to the problem is that the cost of tape is low!

Just a plastic shell and a roll of plastic tape covered with magnetic particles.

In mass production, the cost is only four or five cents.

As for ripping......

In this era where copyright and the like are almost non-existent, ripping tapes is simply zero cost!

It is precisely because of so many advantages that even if the cassette machine really does not sell well as Feng Xiaogang said, Yang Zhen will never worry that he will lose money because of this.

Because even if the production of cassette machine is at a loss, Yang Zhen is sure to earn back ten times or even a thousand times in tape sales!

But these words, Yang Zhen is natural

It is impossible to say it to Feng Xiaogangming.

After all, he knew very well that Feng Xiaogang was a person who was a bit talented and quick in some aspects.

But in his bones, he is still a mercenary villain.

If you really confess to him, I don't know what kind of moths will come out in the end.

For this reason, in the face of Feng Xiaogang's worries, although Yang Zhen moderately expressed his gratitude, he did not forget to tell Feng Xiaogang, saying that although he intended to use cassette machine-related industries to drive Huayi Advertising Company.

However, the production and sales of cassette machines and tapes are not directly under the name of Huayi.

Instead, it will be divided and developed separately.

Hearing this, making sure that the two of them would not bear any responsibility for the production and sales of cassette machines, Feng Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but he couldn't help but be a little depressed.

After all, he's not stupid.

I know that although the production and sales of cassette tape industry are risky, once it is really done......

The profits that may be generated in it are also definitely not compensated for by simple patting advertisements and the like.

Thinking of such a large piece of possible cake, Yang Zhen finally just dangled twice in front of the noses of the two of them and then took it away......

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help complaining, and said in his heart Since the boss, you didn't plan to let us get involved in the production and sales of cassette tape tapes, so why did you call us over in a hurry?

Isn't it true that it will amuse us?

Yang Zhen directly ignored Feng Xiaogang's small dissatisfaction, saying that the purpose of calling them over was mainly to let them set up a department integrating artist management and music production.

Hearing Yang Zhen's complete plan, he wanted to use the cassette machine as the most promotional channel.

But any singer who is willing to sign a contract, he can use the cassette machine as a publicity medium to increase his popularity, and then undertake commercial performances......

In this era of extremely limited media channels, unless it is some well-known figures in their own right, it is difficult for idle singers and artists to increase their popularity.

Originally, I thought that Yang Zhen wanted to set up a cassette machine company, simply to make money such as cassette tapes.

didn't expect Yang Zhen to use tapes as a publicity tool to promote his artists.

Although the use of tape as a propaganda tool is not as intuitive as that of television newspapers.

But thinking that in case the cassette tape machine is popular, the promotional effect should not be underestimated, Feng Xiaogang was completely convinced: "We are neither a TV station nor a radio station, if you simply want to be an artist agent, I am afraid that it will be difficult for entertainers to sign a contract with us!"

"But with tape as a medium, it's a different story!"

"It's worthy of Boss Yang!"

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have dreamed that this cassette tape or something would still be able to play like this!"

"You don't know how to play more, but it's more than that!"

Of course, Yang Zhen would not say these words, but after rolling his eyes, he began to explain some details of the contract to Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong, such as the setting of the termination clause, such as the company's percentage of the commission for commercial performances.

Seeing that Yang Zhen set a commission ratio, the company's commission is as high as 70%, while the artist is only 40%.

Zheng Xiaolong was stunned, and said in his heart that the company's commission was so high......

Will there be any artists willing to sign their own Huayi at that time?

Compared with Zheng Xiaolong, Feng Xiaogang understands this aspect and says that the value of an artist is determined by popularity.

The higher the popularity, the higher the price of the acupuncture and the like.

If there were no companies using tapes to increase their popularity, perhaps the artists themselves would not be worth so much money......

In addition, as long as the brokerage contract is signed, not only will the company get more commercial performance opportunities than the artist by himself in the case of concentrating the company's strength, not to mention that all the commercial performance negotiations are all under the responsibility of the company, and the artist does not need to do it at all

I'm worried about it again.

What the artist needs to do is to arrive at the designated place at the specified time in accordance with the requirements of the contract, and the work is much simpler.

Therefore, in his opinion, it is natural for the company to take the big head and the artist to take the small head.

Of course, Yang Zhen agrees with all of these views.

After all, this is also the confidence that he dares to set an astonishing percentage of 70% of the company's commission.

Of course, although Yang Zhen is full of confidence in letting Huayi set up a performing arts agency department and setting a super high percentage of commission.

However, he still does not have a one-size-fits-all meaning, but adds some albeit difficult to achieve in addition to these commissions.

But as long as it is reached, the company can make certain concessions in terms of commissions and so on.

For example, how many tapes of a certain singer have been sold, or how many discs have been sold last time, and how many more discs have been sold for new songs this time than last time......

As long as it reaches a certain level, you can apply to increase the proportion of performance fee sharing such as upward adjustment.

The top performers can even apply for tape revenue sharing.

Of course, the conditions for taking a share of the tape sales are so harsh that almost no one can possibly achieve them.

In addition to the artist's contract, Yang Zhen did not forget to make some additions to Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong's contract in related aspects.

Because the original contract between the two has been harsh to the point that it can hardly be harsh, so this time for the addition of the contract between the two, Yang Zhen is more about sharing the possible benefits of performing arts agency with the two.

After all, although the two of them have been firmly pinched by him since the last signing, it is equivalent to being firmly pinched by him.

Unless the two of them are determined not to work in film and television from now on, even if they have three heads and six arms, they will not be able to fly out of his Five Finger Mountain.

But in the final analysis, the two of them can be regarded as his confidence in developing Huayi, and they can even be regarded as trump cards.

So pinch it in the hand and pinch it in the hand, but the benefits that should be given, that still have to be given.

After all, as the saying goes, if you let the horse run, you have to eat grass.

If you want the horse to run and not give you grass, even the most evil capitalist is afraid that he can't do it, let alone Yang Zhen.

After a trip, Huayi Development, which was originally clueless, had an eyebrow to talk about, and also got a lot of additional benefits......

When leaving, Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong smiled with a smile.

Not long after the two left, Tan Hu brought two more men who were full of fierce aura from top to bottom.

Looking at the two men, Yang Zhen, who had seen a lot of veterans, could see almost at a glance that the two of them were also veterans who had been on the battlefield more than a year ago, and nine times out of ten they had seen blood on their hands.

However, Yang Zhen, who saw the two of them, couldn't help frowning.

The reason why this is the case is not that he can already conclude from his appearance that the abilities of the two are not up to his requirements. net

It's more because although the two of them are veterans, they are not the veterans he is looking for at all!

Considering the danger of going to Window City, it is simply an excuse to find a few veterans to be bodyguards to ensure their safety......

All he wanted was to use this to get Tian Jianmin over, and then avoid a tragedy.

Tan Hu naturally didn't know anything about Yang Zhen's feelings.

Because of this, seeing that Yang Zhen was unhappy, Tan Hu didn't know what he was wrong with, so he could only explain to Yang Zhen hard, saying that he was also looking for Guo Wei to go to Tian Jianmin.

Although active duty is not about retiring, for the sake of helping to place so many veterans on their side, Guo Wei also intends to help give the green light.

But Tian Jianmin himself refused to leave the army, so even if Guo Weiken helped, there was no way.

Speaking of this, Tan Hu did not forget to curry favor with Yang Zhen, saying that although Tian Jianmin did not come, the two veterans in front of him were no worse than Tian Jianmin in terms of quality in all aspects.

Even in terms of fist and foot kung fu, it is far better than Zhida Jianmin's fear.

After all, Tian Jianmin's strength is more about firearms, and he is almost meaningless in terms of fists and feet, and he can only learn some killing techniques in the army.

But the two in front of them are different.

In addition to the killing techniques that they also learned in the army, the two also practiced family martial arts since they were children.

Speaking of this, in order to prove that what he said was true, Tan Hu directly turned around and yelled at the two: "HD, Gu Yongtong, why are you two still stunned, hurry up and show the boss for a while!"

Hearing this, the two named Gao Gao Gu Yongtong came back to their senses, and began to punch and kick in the middle of their breath.

Neither of them is flashy, nor is it fancy.

Although the movements are far less beautiful than the martial arts routines that Yang Zhen can often see on TV in his memory, there is a hidden killing aura between his gestures.

It is not the same thing as the masters who jumped up and down in his memory.

But even so, Yang Zhen still lacks interest.

The reason for this is naturally because of the purpose of his bodyguard, not for the bodyguard at all.

It's just that these thoughts, HD Gu Yongtong doesn't know anything.

is also because of this, seeing that the two of them have finished their kung fu, Yang Zhen still has a depressed face, and thinks that Yang Zhen is not looking at his two high-definition Gu Yongtong and the two of them rubbed their hands together in embarrassment, saying that the reason why the two of them are like this is completely because they are busy with farm work every day in their hometown after retiring from the army, so this kung fu has not been practiced for a while, and their hands are raw.

"If you want Boss Yang, you can give us some time!"

"You'll see it in a month!"

Speaking of these, HD Gu Yongtong swore a gambling curse, saying that he would be able to recover the two of them for a month, and when the time came, the skills of the two of them would definitely not be like this.

In the same empty-handed situation, packing up three or five people, it is definitely like playing!

Seeing the cramped expressions of the two, Yang Zhen, who knew that the two of them had misunderstood their meaning, hurriedly explained, saying that his face was not good, it was because he didn't sleep well at night, and he definitely didn't mean to look down on their kung fu.

And even if you don't like it......

Since the two of them are here, no matter what, there is no reason for them to go back empty-handed.
