Chapter 644
"...Billy, our seed music should be transformed into a celebrity packaging company. In fact, your idea of saying goodbye to tour is very good.... You should not invest, you should not invest, I refuse to waste the money.... This is not a question of whether we can transform in time, but a survival problem during the turbulent period of transformation. Just one problem, music network sharing is a legal gap. Even if you fill it, litigate, appeal, and appeal, there will be a jurisprudence in the end, at least several years. And in the past few years, network sharing, that is, online piracy is rampant, how should you solve it?... So I think our future should be placed on music websites. Make profits through models such as ringtones and music download services. But the conditions are not yet mature...."
Billy was already in deep thought, and Jing Jian's words shocked him greatly. Jing Jian lit a cigarette and waited silently until Billy raised his head and finally made a decision: "Bramble, I have been asking myself just now. Do I want to make a lot of money when I entered the music industry? Or do I like music?"
"Hey——!" Jing Jian sighed, "Billy, do you know that you have chosen a very difficult and difficult road?"
Although Jing Jian still feels very respectful to Billy, who pursues his dreams and does not forget his original aspirations, he still feels quite regretful. Even if he has enough confidence, how can he compete with the general trend of collapse like an avalanche?
"I understand." Billy smiled bitterly and asked Jing Jian for a cigarette, "But I can't bear it. This is my lifelong dream. Seeing the children grow one by one, not only Lumina, but also others, I'm afraid that... I'm very happy. Do you understand that feeling?"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to find some more young people. I'll train them in the elf bird mode. Don't worry, Bramble, I won't be reckless or invest rashly, and I think..., I want..."
Seeing that Billy seemed a little difficult to speak, Jing Jian smiled slightly, and understood that he also wanted to go solo. He sighed secretly: "So, Billy has $5 million, I will sell my shares to you and leave it to me... 5%! You understand, I don't want those shares. In the future, the music production of the film company will give priority to cooperating with you. 5 million US dollars, including all other contracts and copyrights, and everything will be given to you."
"Thank you, thank you!" Billy was overjoyed. Jing Jian almost gave away those shares for free. You know, the remaining members of the Elf Bird had a penalty of more than $5 million in music contracts.
"Friend." Jing Jian also felt that he had put down his burden. After all, seed music in the future would never become his core industry. If it could be handled well this time, it would be considered an explanation for Billy and Lumina, "For your dreams, and for all those who have dreams."
"Then... can the new company follow the name of Seed Music?"
"sure."
"Also, Bramble. I hope this news will be made public after the tour is over, I'm afraid..."
"Billy Billy, haha, no problem. You decide! Also, I will go to support your tour on site when I have time..."
"Bramble, I always owe you a thank you. Thank you! Thank you!"
"Haha, you're welcome!"
“…”
Finally, when the songs were gone, Jing Jian really didn't expect that the first thing he did after he arrived in the United States was to end the seed music with his own hands. Therefore, when he left, he was still a little sighing.
Kent beside him comforted: "Sir, you are actually so kind-hearted. The dividends of Seed Music last year exceeded 21 million. You can give Billy a discount, but this little money is too little."
Jing Jian shook his head with a smile, but did not explain. He had a lot of dividends, but Billy didn't have much dividends. Being able to give out 5 million is his limit. Forced him to borrow money everywhere, so why bother? Since he has become a good person, then do it to the end!
"Kent, what do you think is the biggest problem in our business?" Jing Jian asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Kent was stunned when asked, "It should... there are too many loans, right?" At present, all the loans of Jing Jian have exceeded one billion US dollars. This is not enough to count the own loans of peripheral enterprises such as Dahe Industrial, the huge loans of the Soviet government and the domestic RMB loans, if all of them are added, they may almost reach 3 billion US dollars (the current exchange price), and the annual loan interest will be about 200 million US dollars. So I really can't look at the actual data, and I may have a heart attack after reading them.
"No, no." Jing Jian smiled, "If you are confident in investing, you will never have too many loans. Our biggest problem is that it is too advanced."
"Too ahead?" Kent didn't understand what Jing Jian meant.
"Haha, Kent, have you noticed? In fact, our business has been making predictions. Predicting high-tech, especially the changes brought by computer IT, transforming the closest advertising mail order business, purchasing Microsoft equity, building Chinese production bases, and the early intervention of European branches in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union... All of these are some predictions of the future development direction. So far, our predictions have basically not deviated from the direction. However, unfortunately, some of the former excellent industries have had to end in our hands, such as the advertising mail order at the beginning of Bailianhua. Some of their companions have also slowly fallen behind, or they have left voluntarily."
"It's indeed a bit sad." Kent expressed his understanding. When he finished the White Lotus advertising mail order business, he was also sad for several days. After all, Kent had worked in the advertising mail order industry for more than 30 years.
Jing Jian smiled slightly: "It's not a shame, it's just a sigh. And such things will still happen in the future. You and I are very busy, so I can only sigh occasionally."
In the laughter, Kent expressed his true feelings: "Sir, before you acquired the company, I thought I would be like this in my life. I managed a small company until I retired. Raising a dog and accompanying my wife around. But I feel very young now. I hope to help you for another twenty years until I am old and can't walk."
"Kent, do you want to give William and the other a chance?" Jing Jian joked, "Of course, there are still many things we have to do. Those who propose acquisitions or mergers think that they understand our business model and think that tens of millions of advertising fees on the product catalog are our future. However, they don't know that what we need is user stickiness, and it is not a product catalog that will be destined to be eliminated in the future. The 400,000 registered users on Blue Star are the most valuable. And only 400,000, what we should do in the future..."
During the conversation, Jing Jian and Kent drove to the crew's location...
