Chapter One of the Night

   Chapter 146

  The news came through Shen Yuliang of Shen Yang Accounting Firm.

I don't know what kind of amazing brain hole the gentleman's clothing has, and suddenly proposed that he is willing to buy the current Zhenghua Clothing at a price of 8 million, but there are two conditions. One is that everyone was commissioned before. The contract disputes caused by the acquisition must be settled out of court. The second is that the acquisition must include a series of patents for two types of clothing, namely "Zhenghua" and "Qipao".

   Of course, the opposite means that as long as the acquisition is agreed, the price can be negotiated.

After    hung up the phone, Xu Zhenghua couldn't help laughing.

He can be regarded as a person who has been in business for more than ten years, but this is the first time he has met such "smart" people and enterprises - people who have achieved a certain level of business and can do better and better, there will be There is a consensus, that is, never take others as fools!

   Those who delusional institutions are exhausted cannot go too far.

   I didn't expect to cross over, and I actually ran into one!

   It's a big joke in the world!

   is just a liquidated damages, which is 3 million+, no matter how powerful the other party is in Qilu Province, it is impossible to reverse the case, at best it is just delaying time.

  This money, they will give it sooner or later!

   Not only must pay the liquidated damages, but also pay the interest on the liquidated damages.

  The original Hailong clothing was bought by himself for 3.5 million real money. Four months after starting it, he has already lost another 1 million. That's 4.5 million+.

   It doesn't matter how much the original Hailong clothing is worth. What's important is that Xu Zhenghua has already invested the money in this matter.

   In addition to a series of other costs including the financial cost paid to Shen Yang Accounting Firm, it is also hundreds of thousands!

   These alone, it is already 8 million can't beat!

  You, Jin Xiaoqing, An Xiaojing, Du Xuelan, Yuan Wei, although the endorsement fees for the five spokespersons have not been paid yet, but each of the five people only receive one million per year--how much money is this alone?

   There are now four, but soon there will be five top-tier singers in the Chinese music scene!

   As for the shape patent...

   As for the 8 million he just smashed in...

   As for the certain popularity and recognition that "Zhenghuazhuang" and "Cheongsam" now have...

  Thinking of buying 8 million garment factories and patents in one package, and then closing the lawsuit, this is not only clever, but extremely clever!

   is not worth it.

   After Lu Liguo's car arrived, Xu Zhenghua drove to his big villa.

   is basically the front and back feet. It didn't take long for Xu Zhenghua's car to drive in, and he didn't even finish the first floor after the remodeling. Xie Shuyi's car in the yard had already entered.

It was just before it was dark that Xie Shuyi actually took out a bag of vegetables from the trunk and asked the second sister-in-law Lu to come in to cook and eat together, but the second sister-in-law Lu refused to come in, and often winked at Lu Liguo, so Lu Liguo asked Xu Zhenghua. , Knowing that the car will not be used tonight, the couple simply drove a car and ran away.

   sensible.

In fact, there are babysitters in the villa, and there are two of them. Xie Shuyi and Xie Shumin run outside all day, and the house is so big that they can't be taken care of without anyone, so it's not really true that they can hide or not. It might affect anything, but the two of them estimated that they were mainly afraid that Xie Shuyi would be shy with acquaintances.

   To tell a joke, apart from Xu Zhenghua himself, I am afraid that no one in the world knows more about Xu Zhenghua's current private life than the two of them. In this respect, even Xu Zhenghua's women are not as good as them.

  They insisted on leaving, and Xie Shuyi did not persuade them any more.

   is a little red in the face.

   They both know what they mean, and Xie Shuyi also knows what they mean.

   Ignoring the 8 million-dollar business we talked about on the phone, Xie Shuyi sent Xu Zhenghua upstairs to see the study they had set up for him, and then rolled up his arms and sleeves to cook together with the two nanny.

The restaurant on the first floor is very large, and it was awkward for the two of them to eat, so Xie Shuyi directed the two nanny to put dinner directly in a sun room on the third floor. When they called for dinner, Xu Zhenghua came up and was surprised to find that they had not seen each other for a few months. Already full of flowers.

   Opened a glass of red wine and ate half a glass, and Xie Shuyi's face was already red.

   Continue to tacitly agree that no one mentions that big 8 million business.

  After dinner, the two walked out of the sun room hand in hand and stood on the large terrace on the third floor.

   In the imperial capital in mid-March, the heating has been turned off. During the day, it is not too cold, but at night the wind is cool, blowing on the face, there is still a slight chill.

   Xu Zhenghua put her in his arms, she leaned back silently, and went in completely.

  …………

  Maybe I was too tired last night.

   As far as Xu Zhenghua knew, Xie Shuyi rarely stayed in bed.

   He himself still got up before six in the morning, gently hugged the humming Aries beside him and kissed him, and then with a firm will, he completed the great work of getting up.

  The community is very quiet, especially cool when running.

   I met other joggers several times on the road, and many of them nodded at him friendly.

   Don’t look at the number of houses, but the whole community is not small, it is enough to run a few laps around it, and it will be even more refreshing after going back, and you can fight in your own yard.

   This feeling of "not being visited" makes people feel very comfortable.

So today he unknowingly punched for more than 20 minutes. When he got back to the second floor, he even went to the second bedroom to take a bath. By the time he finished the bath, it was already past seven o'clock. When he returned to the master bedroom, he saw that someone still Sleeping soundly.

   He took off his bathrobe and plunged into the quilt again.

   This time it was even more delayed. The two of them dawdled and didn't get up until nearly nine o'clock.

  You and I.

   Even when they looked at each other, they could laugh at each other.

   After breakfast, Xu Zhenghua hurried to the school to attend the class—it was still in time for the second big class, so Xie Shuyi packed up her mood and turned on her mobile phone.

  Swipe, all kinds of short messages flooded in immediately.

   But today she was in a good mood, even when dealing with the things that usually gave her a headache, she had a smile on her face.

   is getting lighter and lighter.

  …………

   In late March, the shooting of the MV for "Nowhere to Be Ashamed" started.

   No heroine, no outside scene.

  The whole process is Xu Zhenghua's various shots, and it was completed in the studio.

The only thing    is that Xu Zhenghua once again brought the musicians who he has collaborated with many times to dinner, and deliberately brought them all over and accompany him to shoot the MV - the performance fee is a small matter, but showing your face is a big deal.

   They accompany Yuan Wei on a promotional run recently. Obviously, they are making money, but when they heard Xu Zhenghua's call, they still took the time to fly back. It took two days to successfully complete the shooting.

   Then he continued to fly away and continued to accompany Yuan Wei to run the propaganda.

  "Our Love" can be classified as a love song, but there is absolutely no problem in classifying it as rock-Yuan Wei likes the style of rock bands very much, so he took them all the way with the propaganda.

This single was released on March 4th. After the Golden Coconut Awards ended, it officially launched its publicity and began to hit the charts. On the March 14th issue of the Voice of the East music chart, it had already rushed to No. 1. 14.

During the same period, "Unfinished Love for You" continued to steadily occupy the first place on the A chart. An Xiaojing's debut album with the title song "Wake Up Your Ears" directly landed at No. 2, while "Kiss Goodbye" was on the list without publicity. In this case, it ranked fourth, while "Nowhere to Be Ashamed" fell back to sixth.

It must be admitted that the release time that Xipo Records chose for "Wake Up Your Ears" seems to be the right choice - after the Golden Coconut Award, the media and fans are all focused on criticizing the second-time seal. The latter Shen Jinyan lost his demeanor, and An Xiaojing's strategy of "showing weakness" almost gained the greatest favor and pity under this background. Therefore, it was already recognized by major record companies as the time of death, and he did not hesitate to do so. The release date of the album was changed one after another to avoid Xu Zhenghua and "I Can't Stop Loving You" in March, "Wake Up Your Ears" was not only released, but also sold very well.

   On the B-list on March 14th, this album rushed to the third place on the B-list of the Voice of the East Music Chart as soon as it was released, second only to "Unfinished Love for You" and "Beautiful Dancing+".

  The time comes to March 21st. On the double list of the A and B lists, "Love You Never Ends" continues to dominate.

   And it is the hegemony of the crushing level.

   But there are still major changes to the two lists.

On the   A list, "Wake Up Your Ears" continues to occupy the second place, but "Our Love" has rapidly risen to the third place. The only thing that doesn't change is that "Kiss Goodbye" continues to stubbornly get stuck in fourth place.

   On the B list, "Wake Up Your Ears" has achieved a go-ahead over "Beautiful Dance +".

The album "Beautiful Dance +" was released at the end of January. The title song "Sunny on July 7th" won the A-list champion for three consecutive weeks before "I can't stop loving you". The two top singles of Zhang's album, and Du Xuelan is so popular, and "Flying Eyes" is so popular, so that the album "Flying Eyes +", although it is only a new song plus a selection, has sold super good sales.

   No. 1 on the B list for three weeks and No. 2 on the B list for five weeks.

   The shipment of this album should have already exceeded 5 million.

  Du Xuelan's record contract with Kojima Records is about to expire in three months. Recently, companies big and small in the domestic record industry have been fighting **** storms for her record contract.

   All kinds of rumors, all kinds of snatch.

   Zhenghua Records has no intention of participating.

   Xu Zhenghua knew that the so-called Zhenghua Records was essentially a small workshop, but it only produced music. Such a small workshop, in addition to being able to master the copyright, can easily train another Yuan Wei, and also help Liu Defeng to make a comeback, it has basically reached its limit.

   It's not a question of whether you can write more good songs. Although the record industry relies heavily on the creation of talented individuals, it is an industry after all.

Even composing, composing, and arranging songs does not waste the slightest amount of time. The singer is familiar with the songs and does not consider it at all. The singer has ten songs on an album, from trial singing, adjustment, re-practice, to the final completion, and it can be recorded. From recording to post-production, a whole set of staff is needed, ranging from producers, singers, musicians, and sound engineers, and it takes 30 to 60 working days together.

   This is still a fairly smooth situation.

  If it doesn't go well, it is not uncommon to record an album for half a year.

   In order to cooperate with this series of work, a record company needs to set up a working group with as few as seven or eight people and as many as a dozen people, and revolves around them all day long.

  As a superstar, you also have to build a team for him or her to serve her personally.

   includes but is not limited to drivers, bodyguards, assistants, etc.

   The configuration that should be given must be given.

   To put it simply, in the small workshop of Zhenghua Music, with the absolute core of Xu Zhenghua, supplemented by Yuan Wei and Liu Defeng, it is a relatively stable structure that guarantees smooth operation.

   And basically it can be done, simplifying personnel to a certain extent.

  To sign the big star Du Xuelan, you must upgrade the entire company.

  The overall scale needs to be expanded all at once, and doubling the number of employees and workplaces is not enough.

  In the case of no expansion, we have to put another superstar in, okay?

   It's not completely impossible, and I can hold on a little more. Anyway, even if Du Xuelan comes, Xu Zhenghua will be able to completely suppress her in all aspects, and she will be able to hold her back.

   However, Xu Zhenghua planned to leave this last chance to Jin Xiaoqing.

   There will be less than one year left on her contract, and it will expire in January of 1995, and there is only one album left. She will record it soon, and it is estimated that it will be released in the summer!

  My own woman, I still have to feel a little partial pain.

   And Jin Xiaoqing is different from An Xiaojing, very different.

   This girl is very good, too good.

   So obedient that Xu Zhenghua couldn't bear to continue to give her a cold face after being so obedient for half a year.

   Therefore, in the case that Xu Zhenghua does not plan to stay in the record circle for too long, and he is too lazy to upgrade and expand Zhenghua Music, the remaining seats that can accommodate one person are naturally reserved for her.

   What's more, Du Xuelan is really not cheap now!

  Whether her next album will be at the level of three albums in five years, or two new albums, plus a new song plus a selection, and now the industry's quotation for her signing fee has reached 30 million.

Besides, everyone's relationship is not ordinary, and signing with Zhenghua Records will make it easier for her to get the blessing of Xu Zhenghua's works, which will greatly avoid the risks and fluctuations brought by her signing with a new owner, but the price has been called here, you are not If you want to save money, it is outrageous to say that you sign up for 20 million.

   Even if people agree, they must be uncomfortable.

   This is not just a question of money, in such a pompous circle, the price is the status of the rivers and lakes.

  Xu Zhenghua definitely disdains to play "human price" when doing business.

   If he has to make a move, he may even take the initiative to raise the price, such as giving an offer of 40 million or something to help Du Xuelan raise his status!

  Whether Du Xuelan is worth 40 million, let's talk about it, but at the price of 30 million, she is definitely worth it!

   If you have your own work as a blessing, you can definitely earn it back no problem!

   Play well, once the single and album are sold, maybe the first album will be able to earn it back.

   But the problem is, before the settlement of "Love to You" with Venus Records, Zhenghua Music is now taking out his pockets, and it is impossible to take out so much money, so he can only play loans.

   And there is still another problem here - participating in the competition for the album appointment of Du Xuelan, a brother-level star, grabbing it, and in the end, the rest are basically the six major players in the industry.

Small companies also want to follow, even if they have a hard cap with the parent company, but in this level of competition, production capabilities, creative capabilities, supporting capabilities, cash reserves, etc., etc., after these rounds of screening, Small companies tend to go out of business one after another.

  So now, if Xu Zhenghua forcibly intervenes by relying on his personal friendship with Du Xuelan, he will surely offend the industry's six major companies at once!

   Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Xu Zhenghua chose to give up.

   In short, in the small circle of the record industry, Xu Zhenghua no longer intends to continue to invest too much energy.

   Although he's been making good money lately.

  …………

   "What kind of **** is this!"

On the 14-inch big-ass monitor in front of me, the Mosaic browser 1.0 version was in the process of opening a forum with great difficulty, the speed of a turtle, and the feeling of being suddenly stuck in the middle of the road and unable to move. Xu Zhenghua couldn't take it anymore and couldn't help but turn his head and complain.

Xie Shuyi stood behind his chair with a coffee cup in her hand. She couldn't help laughing when she heard the words. She subconsciously reached out to rub his head, just like she did when she was a child, but when her hand was halfway, it temporarily turned to be placed on his shoulder. Help him knead his shoulders, "Don't say this in front of President Ma, he is so proud now!"

   The time at this time is Sunday, March 27th.

  The location is Xie Shuyi's mansion, on the second floor, in Xu Zhenghua's study.

When the interior was refitted before, the network cable was brought in. It is said to be the first household in this community, and it is a dedicated line to access the Internet directly without any expense. The monthly network fee is as high as 600 yuan, and the initial installation fee is even more. It is as high as 4000 yuan.

   However, it turned out so.

  Version 1.0 of Mosaic Browser, which is already the official sales version, was officially launched a few days ago, and the price is 29.9 yuan. It is said that as soon as it was launched, the outside world received rave reviews.

   This is the computer world, or in other words, the first browser that can be really launched for everyone to surf the Internet in the Internet world that has just begun to take shape.

  Its functions and interface are loved by everyone.

   Of course, it is said that in just a few days, bugs have already begun to appear.

   But this is normal.

   In short, sales are said to be good.

   This Friday, Mosaic also held another board of directors. At the meeting, Chairman and General Manager Ma Ji put forward the grand goal of selling more than 1 million units and sales of more than 30 million by the end of this year.

However, it is such a browser that is unanimously praised by the outside world, but Xu Zhenghua couldn't help frowning when he used it - compared with the smooth opening speed of later generations, and the "slip", "point", "dial" of later mobile phones "Compared with the light operation and various functions, the current Mosaic 1.0 is really too difficult to use.

That's it, the network cable in the villa here is still a very high standard 16KB exclusive network cable. The speed is fast enough to fly. With the mosaic browser, it is almost the highest configuration for ordinary people to access the Internet. People still need to dial up. Internet users, it is slower and more snail.

   But it should be said or not, Xu Zhenghua didn't use the bug.

Slow is slow, complaining about the speed of the Internet, simple and simple, that is the relationship between the website, in fact, it has nothing to do with the browser itself. This officially launched browser already has the basic functions of those browsers known to Xu Zhenghua in later generations— - Just open the web page!

  Although the speed is slag, the operation is a bit awkward, the functions are not perfect, there will be occasional freezes, and one card can't move for half a minute... But it is a good browser.

   After ten minutes, Xu Zhenghua surfed the surf on this website called "Jiuzhou Forum", and then he lost interest - it would be better to hold Xie Shuyi for fun.

   "Coffee! Coffee! Don't spill it!"

   Today, she is rarely leisurely. In addition, during the meeting on Friday, Ma Ji asked her how Xu Zhenghua felt after using it. Today, she brought a computer to the house and urged Xu Zhenghua to try it out.

   Now that the mission is complete, you can tell Ma Ji when you go back. Xu Zhenghua ran out of pitch and praise, and played all morning in one go, and this matter is over.

   Anyway, this side is only a minority shareholder, in fact, the right to speak is limited.

Xu Zhenghua hugged Xie Shuyi, and skillfully took it out from under the knitted jacket with one hand and held it, while the other hand slid the mouse to find the game. What is currently installed on this computer is the most advanced Windows 92 system in the world, but in the game list, He didn't find minesweeper, but there were poker cards, so he opened it and played a game by the way.

   "Oh, stop rubbing, why can't you touch enough!"

  Xie Shuyi complained about him, but he suddenly raised his head to hide the embarrassment of his loss, "By the way, I remember that I also voted for a browser company? What happened to the three of them?"

Listening to him talking about business affairs, Xie Shuyi stopped pushing him and said with a smile, "It's still early, I went there last week, and now there are seven people in the company, and they are working on development very seriously, but I don't see it either. Understand, what they mean, strive to launch a mature version in the second half of this year."

   Xu Zhenghua nodded.

   That’s it, the money invested is not too much, it is purely invested as a spare tire, without taking my own money and running away, it is not bad if you are still working hard.

   As for whether it is successful or not, it is up to God.

   grabbed her coffee cup, put it on the computer table, and hugged her tightly, "I don't play anymore, and the game is not fun. Shumin finally went out, come, hurry in and out."

   Xie Shuyi laughed so hard that she wanted to hit him, but was hugged by him.

   At this moment, his cell phone rang, so he had to put the person down first and take out his cell phone.

  The number of the caller makes people feel a little dizzy, but it is not easy to answer, so I can only pick it up, "Hello, Brother Dao. Is there something wrong?"

   On the other side of the phone was Du Xuelan's voice, "Why didn't you answer my call yesterday?"

   Ah this...

   I'm definitely not answering your phone because I don't want to answer it!

Around your contract, several record companies are almost out of their minds, Liu Junxian and Qiu Jianfeng from Qixing, Lao He from Xipo Records, and of course He Jianliang and Liu Ju from Xiaodao Records... Zhenghua is able to talk, but recently he has been thinking about making dinner appointments, which is really annoying.

   "Huh? Did you call me yesterday?"

   "I hit three times!"

   She roared angrily, "You never answered."

   "That might be because the phone is not around. What's the matter, called three times? Is something wrong?"
