Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era - v2 Chapter 408
Hearing Xu Yiyang’s question, Wu Zongxian shook his head.
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and said: “It is most taboo to invest in a company where the founder is a part-time entrepreneur. You yourself are a star and a well-known host. Your career center is entirely on your personal development, and only a small part of your energy is on the record company. In my case, there is no guarantee to invest in you. In case your own career develops well and you gradually abandon the record company side, won’t my money be lost?”
Wu Zongxian thought for a while, and what Xu Yiyang said really made sense.
However, it is indeed impossible for me to engage in record companies wholeheartedly now. After all, what I really care about now is my development in the entertainment industry, and I also want to become a variety show brother in Taiwan Province.
Just when he didn’t know how to explain to Xu Yiyang, Xu Yiyang waved his hand and said directly: “Let’s do this, now, I will give you three million dollars to buy your company wholly.”
Wu Zongxian was very excited and asked, “Three million dollars? Cash?”
“Yes.” Xu Yiyang nodded: “Three million in cash, but I will pay you two in two. The acquisition will give 1.5 million. You will continue to help me run this company for two years. Two years later, I will give Your remaining 1.5 million.”
After that, Xu Yiyang said again: “Of course, I won’t let you do it for nothing. In the past two years, you have managed to manage the record company with a small amount of energy as you did before. I will pay you half a million dollars a year, that is, In two years, you can get four million dollars.”
The entertainment industry in 2000 was far less flamboyant than later generations.
It’s not an era when a big coffee can just participate in an event and earn millions.
Artists nowadays have to be exploited by agents and agencies, just like Nicholas Tse. Although they are very popular now, the endorsement fee of a brand is only 2 million a year, but it may not be one-tenth of the money that really comes into their pockets.
Although Wu Zongxian’s current status is not low, this buddy is not an idol group, so his main income is on variety shows. This income is not as good as expected.
As for the record company, it is not yet profitable.
Taking four million dollars in two years is already a huge sum of money for him.
Moreover, it far exceeded his inner expectations.
If Xu Yiyang gave him two million dollars, he would bite his teeth and sell Alpha Music.
Therefore, after thinking a little bit, he said to Xu Yiyang: “Mr. Xu, in this case, let’s do what you said!”
Xu Yiyang said: “In this way, we first sign a framework agreement. In April, you come to Zhonghai to find me, and I will sign a formal contract with you. But then, I hope you will bring the singers signed by your company with you. I want See them.”
Hearing that it will wait until April, Wu Zongxian is somewhat disappointed.
He thought he could get one and a half million dollars now.
However, he didn’t know that Xu Yiyang’s current money was all in the stock market, and now giving him 1.5 million yuan would be equivalent to missing the gains from this 1.5 million yuan, and he would still lose at least 150 additional yuan. One hundred thousand to two million dollars.
Therefore, it is natural to wait for Nvidia’s quotation to pass, or the quotation is more than half, and then cash it out to him.
Wu Zongxian is mainly worried about whether there will be any ups and downs in this matter in a month.
But he really can’t say anything. It’s nothing more than waiting for an extra month, which is not a big deal for him.
After careful consideration, he no longer worried that Xu Yiyang was playing tricks on himself. After all, he heard that he was a guest of Li Zekai. The face of the second young master of the Li family was placed here. It is impossible to turn the four million dollar things back.
Xu Yiyang said to him: “The reason why I have to wait until April is because I am going to return to the Mainland to register a music company first, and then use that company subject to acquire your Alpha Music. I still have a lot of industries under my hand, not all of them. Put it into a company.”
Wu Zongxian suddenly realized, and immediately said: “No problem, no problem, please feel free to contact me when you are ready, I will bring Alpha artists to Zhonghai to meet you at that time.”
Xu Yiyang nodded, and the other Junhui said: “Junhui, you and Brother Xian will review the content of the agreement. If there is no problem, you will first sign the framework agreement.
A framework agreement is to first sign a document about the intention. After the agreement is signed, everyone will discuss more specific rules before completing the formal agreement.
Wu Zongxian was also very simple, and directly signed his name on the agreement.
After he signed, he has already begun to plan how to spend four million dollars.
Nowadays, the prices are very low. The purchasing power of 4 million US dollars is quite amazing. You can buy a luxurious villa in Hong Kong and two in Taipei!
…
In Xu Yiyang’s eyes, CRBT is a big business that lays down and makes money.
As long as the technical problem is solved, the copyright of the song is solved, and the rest, just lie down and wait for the money.
In two years, the number of domestic mobile phone users has reached one or two hundred million, and at least tens of millions of people use CRBT, and the monthly fee for CRBT information will be at least one or two billion.
One year is two to three billion yuan.
Two or three billion, how much can you divide?
With the current telecommunications, that is, China Mobile, which has not yet changed its name, divides it into at least half of the service provider’s sharing mechanism.
How much does it cost for one year?
The first big head is copyright.
Hong Kong record companies add up to several million Hong Kong dollars a year;
Domestic record companies estimate that 5 million yuan can be earned.
If you add it up, it will be more than 10 million yuan a year, less than 15 million yuan.
The second cost is development and operation.
It doesn’t cost much to develop. This thing itself is not a technically difficult thing. It is nothing more than to develop a website that allows users to go up to choose songs and set up ringtones. This is all counted. Millions are amazing.
The operating cost is not high. This thing does not require a business trip or additional promotion. It only requires technical personnel to maintain stable operations.
So, adding up, it costs more than 20 million yuan a year.
However, the cost of more than 20 million yuan can drive a profit of more than one billion yuan, which is almost the same as grabbing money.
But the operator’s business itself is so powerful.
Wait another ten years, when everyone starts to listen to songs online with smartphones, then I will feel even better.
Almost all the copyrights of Chinese songs are in my own hands, which is really making money lying down.
The point is that the people from this group of record companies don’t even know how much profit they gave themselves.
It is estimated that on the day when their ring back tones went online, this group of record company owners who now thought they were fools would jump and scold their mothers in the office.
If you wait for the era of smart phones and the copyright of mobile phone music is protected, these record company owners are afraid they will regret to hit the wall with their heads.
Because they not only gave themselves the copyright of all the current music phones, but also gave themselves the copyright of all the new songs in the next thirty years.
Thinking of the CRBT system, Xu Yiyang immediately thought of Liu Mingchao’s fellow schoolmate and the future founder of WeChat, Zhang Xiaolong.
Xu Yiyang wanted to dig Zhang Xiaolong before, but he was not strong enough to dig.
But don’t worry about money now, and soon I will have hundreds of millions of dollars in cash. This is really terrible.
There may be billionaires worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and there may be some in the mainland. However, the worth of these people is calculated using market value and valuation, and there is a lot of water.
My own hundreds of millions of dollars, when the time comes, but actually lying on the account of Citibank, there is no mountain or dew.
Even rankings like Forbes would not know that there was a young Chinese man who opened an account in Hong Kong with hundreds of millions of dollars in it.
At that time, I took out some money and bought Zhang Xiaolong’s Foxmail, UU read www.uukanshu.com and let him work in his company.
If he remembers correctly, he will sell Foxmail to Boda in April this year. The announced selling price is 12 million yuan, but it is estimated that there must be some moisture. Both the acquirer and the acquired party like to brag this year. .
One million business, I can’t wait to blow it into five million and put gold on everyone’s face.
Therefore, Xu Yiyang estimates that Zhang Xiaolong’s actual amount of money will be at most seven or eight million, and there may even be a part of the shares given by Boda to recharge.
What Xu Yiyang thinks is very simple. I won’t bargain with you Zhang Xiaolong. I will collect you 15 million in cash. If you come to me for five years, I will give you another 3 million basic salary every year.
In other words, if you catch your own line, you can get thirty million.
He believed that Zhang Xiaolong should not refuse.
So, he called Liu Mingchao and asked him: “Mingchao, what is your schoolmate Zhang Xiaolong doing now?”
Liu Mingchao said: “I just talked to him on the phone a few days ago. He is now negotiating with two companies that are interested in acquiring Foxmail. It is said that it is almost finalized.”
“Okay.” Xu Yiyang said: “You give him a call and say that I am willing to spend 15 million to buy his Foxmail, and the cash transaction is paid in one lump sum, but he must come to Jiayang Technology for five years. If he is interested, let He called me.”
Liu Mingchao was surprised and said: “Mr. Xu, are you kidding? 15 million to collect Brother Zhang’s Foxmail and let him come to Jiayang Technology?”
“Right.” Xu Yiyang asked: “What do you think?”
Liu Mingchao excitedly said: “If Brother Zhang can come, that would be great! Then we will follow you together!”
