Tokyo's most affectionate

"No matter who the object is, we will look at the conditions first, as long as the conditions are suitable."

Igarashi Runa also agreed with this.

She didn't study finance, but she has rich work experience and naturally figured out a lot of things.

The content of a business proposal is usually concise, unlike a contract which has too many clauses. It mainly expresses the willingness to cooperate and puts forward its own conditions.

Sony's condition was to buy out the copyright of his songs and album agency rights for 130 billion yen.

His physical albums can only be sold by Sony, which shares 50% of the sales profits.

His digital albums are only available on Sony Music's streaming app, Spotify, and he keeps 50% of the profits from digital album sales.

There is no need for routine public performances and offline performances, but there must be at least two promotional shoots a year, and an album must be released every two years. The initial cooperation period is 10 years.

"The agent sent by Sony yesterday said that the price of physical albums is usually between 3000 and 3500 yen. Based on the price of 3500 yen, if 3 million copies are sold, it will be a turnover of billion yen!"

Igarashi Runa was sitting next to him, leaning over to look at the project plan with him, and couldn't wait to speak after he finished reading it.

This price is too terrifying. If Zero Hour's album can really reach Japan's album sales record and sell more than 3000 million copies, the revenue will be unimaginable. Even if it is a 50% share, it will be a huge profit.

You know, after she graduated, she worked hard for so many years, and even became a top agent, but she only earned more than 1 million yen.

In fact, she slept very soundly these two days and was in a very happy mood.

The night before yesterday, when Sony, Apple, and Penguin Music, all of which are among the top companies in the world, called her, she was extremely excited.

After meeting and negotiating yesterday and drafting a preliminary letter of intent for cooperation, I woke up laughing twice last night.

"He was talking about turnover, not the amount deducted from costs, operations, taxes, etc."

Hearing what he said, Kurosawa Hikaru's heartbeat quickened a bit, but when he saw her eyes shining and she was so excited that she forgot everything else, he calmed down and reminded her.

If he guessed correctly, although Ms. Runa was an agent, she had never been in charge of the operations and financial departments and had no idea or experience in this area.

"Even after deducting these, we can still make a lot of money... and I haven't even counted the sales of digital albums."

After this reminder, Igarashi Runa was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, but he was not worried about it.

"Let's take a look at the conditions of the other two first."

Kurosawa Mitsuru found that she was completely attracted by the sky-high price, and was not in a hurry to wake her up, but started to look at other plans.

In fact, he was also frightened by what Ms. Runa said just now.

In fact, he has long known that the best way for singers to make money is not through concerts, but through albums.

However, he really didn't expect that the sales amount of 3000 million would be so exaggerated.

If he could seize this opportunity, he and his firm would become rich overnight, and he could also pull Sister Chizuru out of the bank that she disliked.

If, he meant if...if there was no profit sharing and instead it was released on its own, what a horrific profit that would be.

No wonder Sony, Apple and Penguin Music, three of the world's top 500 super companies, came to us.

“It has to be carefully appraised.”

Looking at the plan, Kurosawa Hikaru's mind was very active.

It must be said that the reward for entry-level finance - investment philosophy really came at a very timely moment, and it directly raised his views on investment and value to a higher level.

Chapter 467: What a Big Rack

Japanese people are punctual and pay great attention to not being late. This is the result of social and self-discipline.

Whether it is a date or work, you will never be late, and may even arrive early.

"The Sony people have arrived. I'll go meet them first and send you a message later."

At 9:20, Igarashi Runa picked up her cell phone, took a look at it, and suddenly stood up.

"it is good."

Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly, sitting at the table using his laptop and looking up information.

As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle.

Only by figuring out your own value and understanding your enemy's needs and weaknesses can you gain favorable conditions for yourself.

He was not only checking the traffic data results of [Zero Hour], but also checking the situation of Sony Music.

Sony is Sony and Sony Music is Sony Music. Although they are a whole, they must be investigated separately.

The world's top 500 companies are usually divided into multiple departments, each responsible for different areas.

As Zero Hour, he basically just didn't care about anything else after he finished playing the piano. He didn't care about things like fans' reactions, video data, speed of dissemination, and influence.

It’s not that he knows nothing, because Igarashi Runa often posts some data charts in the partner group.

However, the result alone is not enough, but it is also necessary to understand the process.

A large enterprise must plan carefully before taking action, and acting impulsively is extremely rare.

Because every cooperation and investment involves a large amount of money and interests, and is a matter of great importance. At the very least, we must understand the matter comprehensively and analyze the pros and cons before taking action.

……

Igarashi Runa had already tidied up her appearance, and all she needed to do was put on high heels to be perfect.

She walked down from the third floor and arrived at the front door. She fiddled with her hair again, looked at her clothes from top to bottom, and after confirming that everything was correct, she opened the door.

"I'm very sorry that I couldn't greet you right away and kept you waiting."

Igarashi Runa was not surprised to see three people outside the door, but expressed her apologies.

As she greeted them, she was also observing the group of one woman and two men.

The woman in the lead was in her prime, beautiful, capable and confident.

She had met this woman yesterday. Her name was Takeda Emma and she was the proposer and agent of this cooperation project.

The man on the right looks to be around 30 years old. He is wearing a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He has a calm expression and looks very serious.

Although they didn't see this man yesterday, they had seen him before.

Naoki Amuro, from the legal department of Sony Music, and Rikka Fujiwara of Phantom Star Agency had worked with Sony Music before, and he was also present when the contract was being drafted.

On the left is a middle-aged man, with a rather stout build, not tall enough, and a bit of belly. He is obviously gaining weight in middle age, and his face already shows traces of time. He is also wearing a suit, but he exudes an aura.

After just one encounter, she knew that this middle-aged man should be the one with the highest status among the three.

"It's okay, we got here early... Ms. Igarashi, I'm Ohga Musashi, the vice president of Sony Music Entertainment. It's our first meeting, thank you for your guidance."

Just as she had guessed, the middle-aged man, Ohga Musashi, shook his head and smiled, then took the initiative to extend his hand and introduce himself.

"I'm Igarashi Runa. Nice to meet you. Thank you for your guidance."

Upon learning of his identity, Igarashi Runa was a little surprised and bowed.

Ohga...if she remembered correctly, this was the last name of the former president of Sony.

In Japan, Sony is one of the most famous brands. Although Sony Music is a subsidiary, those who can serve as executives of a subsidiary have high status and are among the top figures in the country.

In Neon, greetings include bowing, shaking hands, and putting hands together.

When a man and a woman meet for the first time, they usually bow to each other and exchange business cards, but shaking hands is not usually done.

Only old friends or people who are relatively familiar with each other will shake hands.

"Ms. Igarashi, I heard that you have a sharp eye and are very good at judging people. Every artist you sign has great potential. You also signed Mr. Zero Time, which shocked the industry and earned you the title of the best agent. Now that I see you, I didn't expect you to be so young and so beautiful. It's really surprising."

When Ohga Musashi saw that she did not shake hands with him, his eyes darkened, but he smiled and praised her. His voice was very gentle, giving people a very approachable feeling. There was some heat in his eyes as he looked at her.

He never expected that the head of Zero Hour Agency, Runa Igarashi, would be so beautiful.

She has an oval face, beautiful eyes like water, eyebrows like the moon, a small nose, red lips like fire, she is delicate, generous and dignified, with short hair that reaches her shoulders, and a capable and refreshing temperament. Even though she is wearing more formal clothes, her plumpness cannot be concealed by the clothes, and it is extremely seductive.

Especially her figure, which is sexy and curvy, with flesh-colored stockings wrapped under the plaid skirt. Her plump and soft legs are extremely eye-catching.

Such appearance is not inferior to that of idol artists, and is even better.

Because idol artists are generally young and beautiful, but too immature.

Miss Igarashi is very mature, capable, confident and generous, and has an outstanding temperament, just like a young woman. Every move she makes is full of charm.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ohga. The strongest agent is just one-sided words from fans. I am still a newcomer in the industry compared to seniors like you."

Igarashi Runa has been in the workplace for a long time and is very sensitive to line of sight. She noticed that he was looking at her and felt disgusted and aversion, but she did not show it on her face and just smiled slightly.

"How can it be just one-sided words from fans? This is recognition from the industry. Others failed to invite a piano master like Mr. Lingshi, but you signed him. This is ability. You are so young, and you have started your own business and become a boss. You are much better than an old man like me."

Ohga Musashi wanted to get closer to her and was generous in his praise of her.

"How can Mr. Ohga be an old guy? He is still very young."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Igarashi Runa could only pretend to be nice and say nice things to him.

Sony brought a big contract today, and this guy is the one in charge. Even if you hate him, you have to accommodate him.

"How can I still be young? I've been old for a long time."

Compliments from beautiful women are very useful to men, and Ohga Musashi is even more so. He was extremely happy to find that she didn't feel old, but he still pretended to be inappropriate.

Seeing his smiling face, Ruina Igarashi felt a little helpless... She was very clear about her own charm.

She is 28 years old this year. Compared with 20-year-old Kurosawa, she may be a little old. Others may think she is taking advantage of young girls... But for a greasy middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s, the age of around 30 is just right.

When she was working at the Fantasy Star Office, everyone, whether her colleagues or superiors, had feelings for her and were always thinking of various excuses to meet her and have physical contact with her.

For example, if you want to shake her hand, when you see her working, you deliberately walk up to her and want to give her some advice, or you casually extend your hand and try to touch her shoulder.

However, she had developed very well since she was a child, and her mother noticed this and strictly instructed her to develop a strong sense of vigilance when she was still young. She never gave her any chance, just like what happened just now, and was alert in advance.

However, the more she didn't give others a chance, the more they desired it.

Every time she went to work at Huanxing Office, most of her male colleagues stared at her like a pack of wolves eyeing a piece of meat, making her physically and mentally exhausted.

After all, going to work is tiring enough, and you also have to be wary of others and stay alert for long periods of time.

That's why when Kurosawa proposed to start a business, she made the decision in a short time.

There were many reasons why she resigned.

She believes in her abilities and is confident that she can make a comeback.

She didn't like that kind of working environment and had long been fed up with it.

It's fine if the male boss deliberately makes things difficult for her because he can't take advantage of her, and the same goes for the female boss. No matter how well she does, she is just a subordinate.

Moreover, she has already bought a house and a car, and is no longer burdened with mortgage and car loans, which has completely solved her housing and transportation problems.

Even if her business fails, at most she will have to live a tight life... If all else fails, she can still rely on her best friend, become a babysitter for Chizuru, or something like that.

She had wanted to resign for a long time, and Kurosawa's proposal, as well as the talent and potential he demonstrated, were just the opportunity that led to her explosion.

"Mr. Dahe, we are still standing at the door. Why don't we go in and sit down and talk slowly."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Takeda Emma, ​​who had come for the discussion yesterday with a project proposal, looked at Igarashi Runa, who was forcing a smile, with some sympathy, and when the time was right, she made a suggestion.

Following her proposal, everyone naturally agreed.

Soon, the three people sent by Sony walked into the office one after another.

"Is this Ms. Igarashi's office?"

Ohga Musashi came to the office and found the space a bit small, but the fragrance in the room was pleasant, so he asked.

"I'm sorry to have to host you in such an informal place, but Lingshi Office was just established not long ago and hasn't had time to expand yet."

Igarashi Runa nodded slightly, feeling very sorry.

Using the office as a conference room, and receiving some project leaders from small and medium-sized companies can barely make do in the past, but it seems petty to receive such big shots from such a top large company.

She also felt a little regretful about this matter.

At first, she thought that since the firm had just started, it would be enough to find a place with suitable rent and complete functions. There was no need to pursue the best, and she should spend her money wisely.

Unexpectedly, Kurosawa's incarnation as Zero Hour had such a terrifying influence.

His debut song became an instant hit on the entire internet, and he was the guest of honor at the second event. He became a legend in one fell swoop, and with every event, his fame grew explosively.

In just two months, Lingshi transformed himself from a nobody into a world-famous piano master, attracting such big shots.

"It's okay. I quite like it here. It's less formal and more relaxing."
