After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 498

Huacan Music Studio.

Office of the Deputy Director of Marketing.

"Brother Fang, I've been a little busy these two days. I've accepted my wish. I'll invite you later. Don't worry, it's absolutely fine to promise you two interviews, but the time will be later. I won't hide it from you. I'm waiting in line here. As for the team, we have a good relationship, but we can’t jump in line, Li Kai, hehe, I don’t dare to promise that man, okay, I’ll talk to him, okay, okay, that’s it.”

Shen Guanchang hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. This was already the number 16 call in the morning.

I took a sip from the water glass, and the phone rang again.

Shen Guanchang thumped his forehead with a wry smile, and picked it up again.
Deputy General Manager's Office.

"Mr. Xi, my initial valuation for your company is 250 million. I know that this valuation is a bit low, but with all due respect, Huacan doesn't value the singers under your company. How about it? Mr. Xi can consider transferring the singers under your company as much as possible, well, this price is definitely not acceptable, otherwise, you and the company's shareholders will study it."

Su Ting made a phone call and approved the documents with one hand. While hanging up the phone, she handed over the two signed documents.

The secretary standing in front of the desk reached out to take it, and Su Ting's voice also came: "Please inform, the comprehensive management department and the financial department have several cost-effective valuations, and Tao Yi and Flying Over the Sea will also be calculated. When is the right time to get off work?"

The secretary was startled, and reminded: "Mr. Su, you said at last week's meeting that before you get off work on Tuesday, now one day earlier, you need to add two more."

While flipping through the phone book, Su Ting said, "Just do a rough calculation. I'll lower it by [-]% and quote the price earlier."

The secretary was stunned, and before she could speak, Su Ting explained: "Based on last week's sales table and the outcome of the betting in the industry, Huacan has at least an [-]% chance of winning. Those small and medium-sized record companies will definitely be nervous. After Time Records, will I, Huacan, still be interested in them, now is the best time to buy bargains at lower prices."

"When the sales report comes out next week, the winner may be clear, and the anxiety of those small and medium-sized record companies will be gone. I, Huacan, will either give up. If I don't give up, it means I am interested, and the price will not be able to be suppressed. "

The secretary digested for a while, then suddenly nodded in response.

At the same time, Su Ting made another call.
Suteng Records.

Office of the General Manager.

In the reception sofa area, Wu Han, Cao Meng, and the first vice president sat around the table, ordered takeaway, and had lunch while chatting.

Huacan's singers released their films one after another, and their sales were outstanding. As Huacan's closest partner, Huacan made a lot of money, and Shuteng Records naturally also made a lot of money.

The three of Wu Han are all shareholders of Shuteng Records, and the three of them are the direct beneficiaries of the company's profits. Normally, they should be in a good mood, but unfortunately, the atmosphere at this time is a little depressed.

Wu Han took a mouthful of rice, chewed it a few times before swallowing it, and said sadly: "At the beginning of the betting agreement, nine out of ten people in the circle decided that Rolling Snow would win, and the remaining one was not optimistic. Hua Can, at most, thought that Hua Can would have a chance of being upset, who would have thought that it would evolve into the current situation, and when the sales report comes out next week, maybe the winner will be decided in advance."

Cao Meng wiped his mouth: "Yeah, you can't help being dissatisfied. Of the seven singers at Huacan, except for Ning Lan, only one is a third-tier singer, and the others are all newcomers. All of them have amazing sales. On the other hand, I, Shuteng Records, played for three years. For a singer, a second-tier top streamer, a third-tier top streamer, and a potential rookie, the promotional expenses are a lot, and the distribution channels are exactly the same, the difference is only in the songs, but they haven't even made a splash."

The first vice president said: "The strongest thing about Li Kai's works is not the quality, but the quantity. Now that I think about it, the ceiling theory back then was simply a joke."

Cao Meng smiled, with strong sarcasm in his smile, and added: "If it's just quality plus quantity, Gunxue's collection of seven or eight songwriters will not be far behind. I think there is the most The key point is his control of the trend of fashion. His works are not unanimously praised in the first circle, some are mixed, some are even regarded as mediocre, but fans buy it. Luo Yusheng is better than him in this regard. It's short."

The first vice president thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Wu Han took another two mouthfuls of food, put down his chopsticks, lit an after-dinner cigarette, took two puffs, and suddenly said, "Next, what should I do with Shuteng Records?"

Cao Meng and the two listened and looked over together.

Wu Han said slowly: "Hua Can has won the bet and won Time Records. He is a veritable first-line record company. He and I Shuteng Records are in Shenzhen City. The remaining half-year cooperation period can still be regarded as a friend. It is also an enemy, after the cooperation period expires, I am afraid that it will be completely an enemy."

After all, I glanced at the two of them: "During the past six months of cooperation with Huacan, I, Shuteng Records, not only got out of the financial crisis, but also the liquidity in the company's account reached eight figures. This time, Huacan's Seven people release the film, and there will be millions of dollars in the next few months, and it will not be a problem to add tens of millions to the company's account. Now in the entire circle, there are few companies with more funds than my Suteng Records. Family."

Speaking of this, there was a pause, and then the topic changed suddenly: "It's just that holding a pile of money doesn't mean that the company can operate. In the market, or by self-cultivation, there is no more second-tier, let alone first-tier, so after half a year and parting ways with Huacan, will my Shuteng Records still be competitive?"

As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere became very heavy.

Even if Cao Meng and the first vice president were not short-sighted, they were by no means short-sighted. Of course, they saw the company's potential crisis, especially such a big one.

Didn't bring it up before, just because it's a bit early.

But right now, Huacan is about to win the bet, and the topic of Shuteng Records' future has become imminent.

The first vice president groaned for a while, and then said the idea that had been brewing for a while: "Nowadays, many record companies in the industry are facing financial difficulties, and some of them are already unable to solve the problem. Why don't we choose one or two to inject capital?"

Wu Han smacked his lips: "To seek capital injection, you have to sell the shares, and the dominant power has changed hands. Who doesn't want the new shareholders to be stronger, and bring not only funds, but also other resources, so that they can truly come back to life."

"In this respect, I, Shuteng Records, are far behind the five giants, and I can't compare with Daishi. What's more, there is Huacan, who is more popular than the five giants."

"It's my turn to invest in Shuteng Records. Either I can pick up the leftovers, or I can buy things that cost one yuan, and I can buy them for two or even three yuan."

At the end of the sentence, he shook his head, obviously not thinking that this method was feasible.

The first vice president had a somewhat helpless expression, which he also thought of.

Cao Meng scratched his hair and said, "Why don't we work hard on the transfer market and entrust a few more brokerage companies to find good seedlings."

Wu Han glanced at him, then slowly shook his head: "I thought so too, but this time the album sales of the three of Cangping, alas."

A sigh made Cao Meng's heart sink.

Cangping's three new albums are all over the moon. Cangping's 14 is more than 10, and the other two are only in the early [-]. They are the three most valued by the company besides Jiang Shanlan. Such achievements are really chilling.

At the same time, the company's confidence in relying on the transfer market or cultivating singers by itself has been greatly reduced.

The atmosphere became cold.

Wu Han smoked a cigarette slowly, with a thoughtful face on his face, he let out a sigh of relief when he finished a cigarette and extinguished the butt of the cigarette, and suddenly said: "It's time to talk to Huacan about the possibility of merging the two companies. sex."

Both Cao Meng and Cao Meng were taken aback when they heard this, and looked at Wu Han in disbelief, who said calmly, "This is a road, I'll explore it first."

Snow Records.

General Manager's Office.

The father and son were separated by a desk, their eyes were big and small, and their faces were heavy.

Mr. Luo said in a low voice: "I reminded you last time, and I will remind you again today. The betting contract is yours to draw the line. If you lose, you will bear the greatest responsibility. You must be prepared for this."

When reminded last time, Luo Shao didn't take it seriously, but now he can't take it seriously.

A ruthless look flashed in Luo Shao's eyes: "Dad, I'm mentally prepared, but I can't just do nothing and just wait for the result."

Mr. Luo frowned: "What do you want to do, operate in violation of regulations, and make trouble again? Not to mention Nisuo, Hua Ge, and Dai Shi's three pairs of eyes staring intently, even within the company, those high-level executives will not allow it." Come on again."

Luo Shao said: "I am not for myself, but for everyone. If the bet is lost, it is everyone who loses. Gunxue can't afford to lose."

Mr. Luo pointed to his son, pointed to his nose, pointed to the sky: "I can't afford to lose, I can't afford to lose, it's you, me, Lao Ji, Lao Lu and others who voted for it back then."

"Isn't the bet 51% of the shares of Time Records, 16% of which was borne by several shareholders including Ren Quanfa, and the remaining 35% was obtained by the company's capital injection of 3000 million. Now Su Yaqing personally invested 1 1 million, Shu Zhen personally invested 5 million, the real loss of the company is only 1 million."

"As for this bet, the 5 singers under Rolling Snow will release the film, and the cost in all aspects is a bit high, but the sales volume of one platinum is definitely enough to digest, and the more important thing is the profit. I estimate that it will be several million, plus Although the star's concert is not directly proportional to the box office, there must be several million, even if the company loses, it will definitely not exceed 500 million, Su Yaqing and Shu Zhen renewed their contracts for five years, which is enough to offset."

Speaking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If the bet can be won, everyone is naturally happy, but the premise is that it does not violate the rules, and the company does not need to bear additional risks, because for Vice President Liao and the others, the power alternation within the company is the most important thing. The most important thing is that from the very beginning, those who voted against this bet are invincible. Otherwise, you think that the high-level meeting will be passed by 7 to 6. Vice President Liao has the right to propose Call the board of directors to re-vote!"

Luo Shao was shocked when he heard this, he never dreamed that the bet he tried his best to promote would be to dig a hole for himself and his father, while the other faction would enjoy the benefits.

"Dad, if you lose the bet, where will you be?"

"Even if it can be kept, half of the rights will be divided. In the future, the company's decision-making will not be as smart as it is now."

Mr. Luo waved his hand: "Okay, you don't have enough work for the company's top management. You just need to be safe and sound. Huacan is not guaranteed to win, and Rolling Snow is not guaranteed to lose. Next, it depends on God's will."

Unwilling to be reconciled, Luo Shao struggled for a moment, and gritted his teeth: "It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky, you can't lose the bet!"

Boss Luo knew that his son was a very persistent character, and the meaning of his words was obviously that he was still ready to make a fuss, his face turned pale, and he was about to scold him, when he heard Young Master Luo say again: "I have black material about singers under Huacan before their debut, as long as Enough exposure will definitely lower their popularity."

Mr. Luo was slightly startled, but he didn't immediately deny it, but just looked at his son.

Luo Shao did not avoid his father's gaze, and tried his best to persuade: "Dad, this is different from the unspoken rules. The unspoken rules are fabricated randomly. These singers' black materials are well-founded. Although they are also illegal operations, even if they are discovered, it's a big deal. .”

Mr. Luo waved his hand and interrupted: "You can do whatever you like, but there is one thing, you must first be prepared to bear the consequences."

Luo Shao nodded and said hello.

time record.

When Li Zhan arrived at the cafeteria, there were still relatively few people. He ordered a meal and sat down at random.

As time went by, there were more and more people, and an interesting scene also happened.

There are more than 20 sets of tables and chairs in the cafeteria hall, and the other tables are full of three or four people, but Li Kai is the only one who is alone at the table.

And the four tables around him were very quiet, everyone was eating in silence, and even if they exchanged a word occasionally, they deliberately lowered their voices, as if to guard against thieves.

Not to mention how weird the atmosphere was.

Li Kai didn't know if he felt it, but he ate very quickly anyway, within 10 minutes, he picked up the empty plate and walked towards the garbage truck.

Chaoyang and his assistant also finished eating, and they walked through the side aisle one after the other.

Finally, at the entrance of the passage, Li Kai and Chaoyang met each other.

The two of Chaoyang were a little faster than Li Kai, Li Kai paused, and waited for them to leave first, but unexpectedly they also stopped and looked at Li Kai eagerly.

Li opened his hand and stretched out his hand, signaling them to go first, Chaoyang hurriedly waved his hand, and also stretched out his hand, signaling you to go first.

Seeing this, Li Kai didn't back down anymore, he took a step forward, and shook his head with a smile at the same time. There was a bit of playfulness in the smile, and when he passed Chaoyang shoulder to shoulder, he even glanced at him.

Seeing that smile, Chaoyang couldn't help but become a little unnatural, and that look made Chaoyang's face stiffen even more.

Li Kai was laughing at him now that he knew he was afraid, and that look was telling him, why bother if he knew what he was doing earlier?
After interpreting it based on subjective assumptions, Chaoyang was not calm anymore. He struggled for a while, gritted his teeth, and quickly followed up and called out: "Brother Li Zhang."

"Huh?" Li Kai stopped and turned around, and the next moment, he saw Chaoyang bowing towards him and giving him a big gift.
