Chapter 289: Intent to buy out the contract

Breaks are always short.

The Spring Festival holiday passed in a flash.

After the Spring Festival holiday, Chen Qiming immediately devoted himself to a new round of work.

The production of Japanese and Korean albums was put on the agenda.

Of course, in addition to records, Chen Qiming did not relax in other work.

In the past two years, after Chen Qiming became a popular singer, he brought him not only popularity and status in the entertainment industry, but also money and a large number of connections.

With the help of these, the Spring Festival has just ended, and the new year has just begun, Chen Qiming has done a big thing that has caused a sensation in the entertainment industry.

Chen Qiming founded a record label.

The amount of investment in this record company is not large, only NT$20 million.

But the impact of this incident is not small.

As the most lucrative existence in the current Chinese music scene.

Chen's contract is undoubtedly a collective concern for all major companies.

There is no record company that doesn't want to poach Chen Qiming from Fulong Records.

Think about it, Fulong, a small company that was unknown two years ago, made a lot of money just because it had Chen Qiming's contract, and directly became a famous large company on Treasure Island.

What would happen if Chen Qiming's contract was won by international record labels such as Warner or Polygram?

But any of these international giants will get Chen Qiming's contract with Chen Qiming's current influence in Asia.

Not to mention that this company will become the dominant Asian music scene, but to raise the company's influence to a higher level, it will definitely be 100%.

Therefore, almost most powerful companies pay attention to Chen Qiming, and as long as he has signs of disagreement with Fulong, they will immediately dig into the corners of the wall with a hoe.

But now......

Chen Qiming actually set up a record company.

Although it is only a small record production company and will not produce Chen Qiming's records, this sends a signal.

That is, the relationship between Chen Qiming and Fulong may have broken down.

Most people don't know the details of Chen Qiming's contract with Fulong, but everyone still knows the year.

Five years.

Chen Qiming's contract with Fulong is five years.

And now three years have passed.

There are only two years left.

After realizing that Chen Qiming may enter a cold period with Fulong.

The record companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan immediately made a move.

Polygram, Warner and BIM have approached Chen Qiming and want to dig him.

Even Japan's Sony came to mix in.

However, they did not find Chen Qiming directly, but directly found Fulong, hoping that Fulong could transfer Chen Qiming's contract for the next two years to them.

……

[Chen Qiming established a record company, or will break away from Fulong to stand on his own]

[Chen Qiming and Fulong's relationship is stiff, or they will separate]

[Zheng Donghan, president of Polygram, publicly expressed his hope that Chen Qiming would join Polygram in two years]

[Shocking! Fulong has reported that Sony hopes to buy out Chen Qiming's contract for the next two years directly from Fulong]

……

Flipping through today's newspapers, there are many opinions on the news.

It's almost all about your own contract.

For these news, after Chen Qiming read it, he just threw it aside and didn't care about it.

There is a lot of speculation about his relationship with Fulong.

One of the most mainstream is that he has irreconcilable contradictions with Fulong, so he will set up a record company and have a tendency to stand on his own.

It's just that these news are fake.

Chen Qiming and Fulong's relationship has indeed been a bit stiff recently.

But when it comes to irreconcilability, it is not.

The reason why Chen Qiming set up a record company is entirely because he is preparing for the future.

Before setting up this company, he had already said hello to Fulong's side.

He has clearly told Ge Fuhong that he will not renew his contract after it expires.

Therefore, even if Fulong was dissatisfied with this, considering that the two sides would have to cooperate in the next two years, Ge Fuhong did not say anything, but acquiesced in Chen Qiming's move.

Therefore, those who want to dig him up now, apparently, are working in vain.

However, this is obviously some wishful thinking on the part of Chen Qiming.

Just when he thought that this matter would be reported by the media for a period of time, and other record companies would retreat after feeling that they could not dig people, a phone call from Liu Ciwei made Chen Qiming directly put down what he was doing and rushed directly to Fulong Company.

Sony Records bid 100 million to buy out Chen Qiming's contract for the next two years.

Yes, it's that ruthless.

Sony, who obviously has no sense of existence, made Ge Fuhong's heart moved, and Chen Qiming had to go back to the company to talk to Ge Fuhong about this matter in person.

100 million, if this news gets out, it will definitely be an explosive news.

So far, there has never been such a high contract in a Chinese-speaking region.

And it's only been two years.

To be honest, when he heard the news, Chen Qiming was also a little surprised.

He didn't expect Sony to be so generous, and for him, he dared to come up with 100 million.

However, when you think about it, it's no wonder Sony dares to do this.

Last year, Chen Qiming's income for Fulong was 83 million yuan.

And that's just the dividends in Chinese-speaking areas, as well as in other regions.

And if Sony had had Chen Qiming's contract last year, this revenue would definitely have increased by at least half.

The reason is naturally because of Sony's own power.

On the Fulong side, because they don't have distribution channels in many areas.

So Fulong basically chose to cooperate with Warner Records.

With this cooperation, half of the profits were naturally shared by Warner.

In this case, Fulong still got so much revenue.

And if it is replaced by Sony, although Sony is not the top in the ranks of international giants.

But in terms of distribution channels, it feels like it's not inferior to Warner.

As long as they get Chen Qiming's contract, there is no doubt that Warner will be kicked out directly, and all the revenue will be eaten by Sony.

Therefore, after seizing the opportunity, Sony directly gambled and chose to take out 100 million yuan to buy out Chen Qiming's contract.

100 million, which is also a big temptation for Fulong.

Although Chen Qiming's revenue last year was very terrifying.

But this is unstable.

Fulong himself cannot guarantee that Chen Qiming will continue to generate so much revenue next year.

Moreover, this 100 million is cash flow.

Sometimes, the value of a cash flow of 100 million is definitely more than 100 million.

So, Fulong's heart was moved.

Chen Qiming got the news that Ge Fuhong intended to sell Chen Qiming's contract for the next two years to Sony in exchange for 100 million in cash.

Regarding Ge Fuhong's heartbeat, Chen Qiming does not think it is wrong.

However, he wanted to prevent this from happening.

His relationship with Fulong has been starting to get a little worse lately, though.

But the cooperation between the two sides is definitely pleasant, and even his personal relationship with Ge Fuhong has not been affected by this.

In many cases, if Chen Qiming is dissatisfied with some of the company's practices, he can directly respond to Ge Fuhong.

Ge Fuhong will also listen to his opinions, ask the company to try not to take on some activities that Chen Qiming does not like, or arrange similar jobs for him.

However, if the contract is transferred to Sony.

It's definitely going to be different.

Let's not talk about Sony's big business, Chen Qiming can't influence the company's decision-making.

Another very important point is that if you become a Sony person, I am afraid it will not be so simple to come up with it.

Therefore, when Chen Qiming heard that Ge Fuhong intended to transfer his contract to Sony, he immediately began to rush back to Fulong.

"There are very few stars tonight"

"I don't know where they went"

"Naked Sky"

The car is speeding down the road, and the music is coming from the car radio, and the commission is sad, and people can't help but be silent in it.

However, although the singing is good, Chen Qiming's thoughts are not in the singing.

He was thinking.

Think about what to do.

Just sold to Sony?

If the contract is really turned over, he is definitely unwilling.

At the same time, he was also a little resentful of Ge Fuhong.

For such a big matter, Ge Fuhong actually wanted not to inform him, so he decided directly.

But this resentment has just risen and dispersed.

They are all adults, and they are related to interests, so don't blame anyone for not being authentic.

Let's just talk about himself, for the sake of profit, he is not always thinking about breaking away from Fulong.

So, don't talk about the eldest brother and the second brother, everyone is pretty much the same.

Now the most important thing is how to stop this.

"Block...... Deter! ”

Suddenly, Chen Qiming's eyes lit up.

Why block?.

Why did Ge Fuhong suddenly decide to transfer his contract?

There are only two main reasons.

One is that he will not renew the contract after two years, and he will sell it for 100 million, not to mention making a big profit, and definitely not a loss.

Another reason should be that Ge Fuhong needs cash.

Ge Fuhong's career in the past two years is not only a record company.

After making money from Fulong Records, she signed a large number of artists.

TV, movies, and variety shows are in full bloom.

Even, recently Chen Qiming heard that she recently planned to bless the shares of TVBS TV station.

There is no doubt that with the capital, she has begun to transform into a real media tycoon.

"100 million should not be enough!"

After a deep sigh, Chen Qiming took out the phone and called his fund manager.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to put all his money in the account and eat ashes.

In the past two years, Chen Qiming has also used the money to invest in many projects.

Not to mention the others, even the TVBS TV station that Ge Fuhong intends to bless, he also bought some shares.

"How much money do I have now?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Chen Qiming asked.

"Mr. Chen, there are 21 million US dollars, and there are 7 million other ...... such as stocks and real estate."

The manager on the other end didn't hesitate and replied directly.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming felt at ease, and fortunately, his money in the past two years was kept in the account except for necessary investments.

Otherwise, the situation is really difficult to deal with today.

Yes! Chen Qiming wanted to buy out his contract himself.

This is something that Chen Qiming has not thought about before.

It's not that I haven't thought about it at all, but I don't think it's cost-effective.

But now, Chen Qiming feels that instead of letting Sony buy his contract, he might as well pay for it himself and make himself a free body.

Fulong Company arrived soon.

"Brother Qiming!"

"Brother Qiming!"

In two years, Fulong has already been different from the past.

When Chen Qiming signed the contract with Fulong, the office building of Fulong Company was only a three-story building.

Now, Fulong already has three or four floors of office space in the office building in the city center.

At this time, there is a lot of people in the company.

Although most of them didn't know Chen Qiming, after seeing Chen Qiming, all of these people would stop to say hello without exception.

"Brother Qiming! Hello! ”

When I took the elevator, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing at the door.

After seeing Chen Qiming, the girl hurriedly moved back and gave up her position to Chen Qiming.

"Thank you!"

After thanking him, Chen Qiming waited for the elevator and began to think about the next words in his mind

The elevator arrived quickly.

Chen Qiming and his entourage entered the elevator.

The girl who was at the elevator hesitated for a moment and walked in.

Chen Qiming could feel that she was constantly secretly looking at herself.

He was not surprised by this.

Since these two years, he has not only been able to attract the attention of ordinary people.

In the group of artists, whenever he appears, he will also be the most dazzling one.

The change of dynasty in the entertainment industry is very fast.

In two or three years, it has been enough for a large number of people who were once ordinary people to climb into the artist group.

And among these people, there will be many existences who regard Chen Qiming as an idol.

Obviously, this girl is too.

"Brother Qiming, I'm your big fan, may I ask, can you give me an autograph?"

Just when the elevator was about to arrive, the girl finally couldn't help it and mustered up the courage to ask Chen Qiming for an autograph.

Chen Qiming came back to his senses from the idea.

Nodding, he took out his pen and signed his name on the bag handed by the girl.

"Work hard!"

Habitually, he looked at the girl and encouraged.

"Thank you! Thank you! ”

The girl kept thanking.

His eyes swept over the girl's better face, and a trace of surprise flashed in Chen Qiming's eyes.

It's an acquaintance.

No, it's an acquaintance in a dream.

Ruby Lin, an actress who will be very popular in the TV field in the future.

Shaking his head, he didn't pay attention to how this woman could appear in Fulong, and quickly left the elevator and went straight to Ge Fuhong's office.

On the corridor, he met Liu Ciwei, who came out to greet him.

As for Ge Fuhong, Chen Qiming didn't see it.

"Mr. Ge is dealing with things, you go to the lounge and wait for two minutes first!"

Liu Ciwei said as he walked.

"Okay!"

Chen Qiming paused slightly, and then smiled.

As he walked around, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart.

Sure enough, he and Ge Fuhong will have a good personal relationship, which is completely due to interests.

Before, when he came to the company, as long as Ge Fuhong was in the company, he would inevitably come out to greet him, the company's big celebrity.

Now, as soon as the signs of a breakup are revealed, the relationship between the two parties suddenly plummets.

In the past, he had never encountered a situation where he had to wait in the lounge when he came to see Ge Fuhong.

"Ci Viagra, thank you!"

When he came to the lounge, when everyone else was gone, Chen Qiming expressed his gratitude to Liu Ciwei.

This time, if Liu Ciwei hadn't informed him, he probably wouldn't have known that Ge Fuhong planned to sell him until now.

"You're welcome! The relationship between you and me, this is all as it should be! ”

Liu Ciwei smiled.

Chen Qiming nodded, "Anyway, thank you!" ”

Why Liu Ciwei informed Chen Qiming, Chen Qiming still has some clues.

Very simple.

Or interests.

Liu Ciwei is definitely a great hero in Fulong Company, the previous Aaron Kwok, and now Chen Qiming and Takeshi Kaneshiro's brokerage affairs are all handled by him.

However, he looks beautiful, the king of heaven agent.

But in reality, his current position in Fulong is also awkward.

He can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, but on the contrary, he is a part-time worker.

Yes, he who has worked hard has no shares in Fulong, not at all.

He has single-handedly cultivated several heavenly kings, but the benefits are not proportional.

This also made Liu Ciwei dissatisfied with the company and Ge Fuhong.

Ge Fuhong likes to eat alone too much.

She liked it so much that even her most loyal subordinates complained.

It is also dissatisfied with Ge Fuhong.

This gave Liu Ciwei the idea of changing jobs.

Last month, Mr. Liu spoke to Mr. Chen about his plans to leave Fulong and go it alone, or join a company that was willing to give him shares.

At that time, Chen Qiming made a joke to him, saying that he would let him work alone with him in the future, and he would definitely not be stingy with these things.

Come to think of it, it was this sentence that gave Liu Ciwei an idea.

Therefore, when Ge Fuhong planned to sell Chen Qiming, he chose to report to Chen Qiming.
