A week later, the disheveled Zhu Rongjie finally completed the assignment of fifty songs. When he stood up excitedly, he felt like the world was spinning, and in an instant he passed out on the single bed next to him.
A few minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. His bloodshot eyes made him feel unusually tired.
The longer he kept his eyes open, the more sour they became, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
With the help of tears, the dry and uncomfortable feeling finally eased a bit.
After a few more minutes, he seemed to have woken up, got out of bed, stepped on the floor covered with scratch paper, picked up the business card from the desk drawer, then put on a coat and ran out of the basement.
.
It was already dark, and Taipei's nightlife was in full swing, but it had nothing to do with Zhu Rongjie. After he ran out of the basement, he went straight to a nearby convenience store, picked up the phone and dialed the number on his business card.
"Hello." A female voice came from the phone.
Zhu Rongjie's heart began to tremble violently as if he was being electrocuted. He opened his lips covered with dead skin and said, "Hello, I am Zhu Rongjie, may I ask..."
Before he could finish asking, the voice on the phone asked directly: "Fifty songs, have you written them?"
Zhu Rongjie suddenly became excited. As expected, the other party had not forgotten him.
At this moment, his eyes seemed to be sour again, and his eyes were full of tears. He looked at the cashier at the convenience store and was stunned.
All the worries of the past week disappeared after the other party asked.
Zhu Rongjie choked and said: "It's written."
"Okay, wait at your place, I will go find you in half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Rongjie took a deep breath, with a happy smile on his face. He touched his pocket and asked, "How much is it?"
"Five dollars," the cashier said.
Zhu Rongjie nodded, but after a moment, his hand touching his pocket stopped, and his face looked embarrassed: "I seem to have forgotten my wallet."
The cashier looked at the tears still lingering on Zhu Rongjie's face and smiled sweetly: "Let me help you advance the payment first. You look like you haven't rested for a long time. When people lack sleep, it is really easy for the brain to forget some things.
Go and take a rest quickly."
Zhu Rongjie was a little surprised. Looking at the cashier's sincere smile, he felt a little moved in his heart.
He picked up the paper and pen on the cash register and quickly wrote down an address: "This is my address. I will return it to you. My name is Zhu Rongjie. Please remember this name."
When Zhu Rongjie said his name, his eyes were full of determination.
After leaving the convenience store, the early autumn evening breeze came out, which made Zhu Rongjie's mind slightly clearer.
He touched the stubble on his face, laughed to himself, then quickened his pace, returned to his residence and started washing up.
Half an hour later, a red Cadillac parked in the driveway next to the basement, and then a young woman wearing a white shirt, jeans, and high heels stepped out.
The woman's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the people passing by.
"A star?"
"I've never seen it before, but even if I'm not a celebrity, I probably shouldn't come to a place like this!"
"Why?"
"This place is where the migrant workers who have just arrived in Taipei live! People who make money will not live in a place like this."
After Liu Qin got out of the car, he looked at the dim corridor in the basement and hesitated, but finally took steps and walked towards Zhu Rongjie's basement.
Hanhai's artists quickly returned to the mainland after attending the Golden Melody Awards ceremony.
Liu Qin was asked by Li Qing to stay here specifically, firstly to observe the newcomer Zhu Rongjie, and secondly to prepare the draft for the acquisition of Julu Records.
Xu Wen also received the order at the same time, so the next day, Xu Wen brought the negotiation team to Taipei to make peace with Liu Qin.
The two will next work together to negotiate an acquisition of Julu Records.
Although Li Qing decided early on to annex Julu Records at a high price of 25 million yuan, the acquisition was never something that could be solved in a few words, especially the scale of this acquisition reached 2,000 yuan.
With a price of five million, we have to consider the long term.
The negotiation team led by Xu Wen started investigating Julu Records across Taipei as soon as they got off the plane. Through market research and industry trends, they invited industry experts to evaluate the true price of Julu Records.
Three days later, Xu Wen and Liu Qin received the appraisal results of Julu Records. The total assets of Julu Records were only the 3,000 songs left over from history and the copyright of the albums. Their value was in the range of tens of millions of yuan.
Apart from this, there are no other negative assets.
However, due to Cui Zhiye's six-year singer contract and Taiwanese singer Tsai Shih-chi, in the eyes of the evaluation agency, Julu Records' total assets can be expanded to nearly 30 million yuan.
In other words, the 25 million yuan that Zhang Ye promised to Li Qing was indeed a conscientious price.
And this amount of money, converted into New Taiwan dollars, already exceeds 100 million.
This is a sky-high acquisition case that has drawn considerable attention both inside and outside the industry.
At first, everyone thought that Julun was about to be swallowed up by Warner, and Li Lei, the head of Warner's Greater China region, had already prepared funds. However, not long after the Golden Melody Awards, the trend suddenly changed, which caught everyone by surprise.
First, Warner denied its acquisition of Julu Records to the media. Later, Zhang Ye, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Julu Records, also stated in public that there was no such thing.
In fact, after receiving a phone call from Li Qing and learning that Li Qing had a strong intention to acquire Julu, but needed time to prepare funds, Zhang Ye agreed without even thinking about it and promised that he would buy Julu in the next week.
Within the period, Julu Records will no longer meet with other acquirers.
This is a wholly-owned acquisition. Hanhai will obtain 100% of the shares of Julu. For the other board members of Julu Records, it is natural that whoever offers the highest price will buy the company.
But for Zhang Ye, Hanhai is the best choice for Big Ship.
Therefore, he did not resent Li Qing's excuse to prepare funds when he was actually investigating the giant ship.
But what Zhang Ye didn't know was that although Li Qing had people investigate Julu's assets, he was actually preparing funds.
The outside world estimates that Li Qing is worth several hundred million, but that is just his net worth, and his ability to monetize it in a short period of time is extremely poor.
Although Hanhai today has tens of millions in cash flow on its books, Li Qing does not intend to use it. It is the funds left over to prevent changes in the company.
Therefore, before going to Ning Province to film the movie, Li Qing made a special trip back to the capital and made appointments with the heads of the four major banks in the capital to prepare to borrow money from the donors.
The four major banks naturally warmly welcomed Li Qing's arrival. When they heard that Li Qing needed a loan, the heads of the four major banks even smiled. After asking about Li Qing's expected loan amount, the four major banks began to quote.
respective lending conditions.
On the same day, Hanhai successfully obtained a three-year interest-free loan of 50 million from one of the banks.
A few days later, after going through a few simple review procedures, the 50 million loan was directly approved and quickly flowed into Hanhai Company's books.
Although Zhou Shu came from a well-known family, he was quite frightened when he thought that the company still had a loan of 150 million from the bank on its books.
100 million yuan of which has been fully transferred to the accounts of "Shengshi Duxiu Real Estate Development Company". Coupled with the capital investment raised from major investors in the last tender, this has made the originally dilapidated Caomiao Village in
With strong efforts, it changes greatly every day.
It is expected that "Caomiao Village" will become an iconic science and technology entertainment park in the entire capital in the near future.
When the time comes, this place will become a chicken that lays golden eggs, providing Hanhai with a steady stream of funds.
The last loan required Ye Zhun to open a backdoor through government connections.
This time, Hanhai relied on its own brand to easily obtain a loan of 50 million yuan. This, on the other hand, also proves Hanhai's growing strength.
After learning that the funds had arrived, Xu Wen, Liu Qin and Julu Records hit it off immediately, and immediately set a signing date and a follow-up handover date.
A big event happened quietly, causing Liu Qin, Xu Wen and others to embark on a decadent foodie journey in Taipei. However, before they had even tasted a few mouthfuls of delicious food, Liu Qin received a call from Zhu Rongjie.
Xu Wen and others were surprised when they learned that the new talent that the boss was interested in had actually written fifty songs in one week.
But surprise comes as a surprise, they will never disappoint when it comes to delicious food.
So they all watched with smiles as Liu Qin left the table with a sigh, without the slightest intention of going there together.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and there was a particularly noticeable humidity in the basement. Liu Qin's high heels were clicking as she walked in the corridor, adding a bit of gloom to the quiet environment in front of her.
It was at this moment that a door ahead opened.
Then, a bright light passed through the entire corridor, illuminating the path for Liu Qin.
"Hello."
In the corridor, Zhu Rongjie hurriedly raised his flashlight to help Liu Qin light the way: "The lights in the corridor have been replaced. The landlord didn't have time to repair them. I'm sorry."
Liu Qin nodded, and then said: "Come with me with your manuscript."
"Ah, okay!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Rongjie turned back to the room and took out a backpack and a peaked cap, then closed the door and quickly followed Liu Qin to the ground.
"How long have you been living in the basement?"
On the highway, Liu Qin asked casually while driving.
Zhu Rongjie said shyly: "Almost two years."
Liu Qin was thoughtful, and then said: "I will attend a signing ceremony tomorrow morning, and will take you to Wu Gaohui's company in the afternoon..."
"Why are you going to Brother Hui's company?" Zhu Rongjie asked in surprise.
Liu Qin smiled slightly: "Of course it's your contract."
Zhu Rongjie hesitated and said: "But...don't you need to take a look at the songs I wrote? I have written all fifty of them."
"I believe you've written it."
Liu Qin said calmly: "But that's not important. What's important is that our boss appreciates you. So from today on, don't live in those damp basements anymore."
"Wha...what?" Zhu Rongjie was stunned.
Liu Qin continued: "Next, you have two choices. The first choice is to follow me to the mainland to develop, and the second choice is to stay in Taiwan. We Hanhai will acquire Julu Records tomorrow, so in Taiwan,
We also have our own record company. If you are willing to stay in Taiwan, you will become an artist on Julu Records in the future. Hanhai has just entered the Taiwanese record industry and will definitely launch its own iconic singer. If nothing else, it may be you.
.So you have to be ready to debut at any time. According to the usual practice, the boss will write a song for each new person who joins the industry, but you need to prepare other songs yourself. If you are confident in your own songs, you can
It’s okay to select some of the fifty songs to make an album.”
"I...I'm going to debut? Can I also release an album with my own songs?"
Happiness came so suddenly that Zhu Rongjie looked in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Of course not." Liu Qin said, then she felt something was wrong, turned her head and glanced at Zhu Rongjie, and saw Zhu Rongjie burying his head in his arms, she asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?
"
Zhu Rongjie did not answer.
Liu Qin frowned, and she slowly parked the car on the side of the road. When the world quieted down, Liu Qin found a faint choking sound coming from the car, and the trembling voice that kept saying: "Thank you, thank you.
,Thanks……"
Liu Qin restarted the car with a smile on his face.
Lady luck may come later, but please don't complain, life will not let down everyone who works hard.
…
The next day, witnessed by major media in Taipei, an earthquake in Taiwan's entertainment industry was taking place.
Mainland media giant Hanhai Culture acquired Julu Records, which was once popular in Taiwan, for a very high price of 25 million yuan.
All albums and songs under Julu's name will be logged on the "Music Network" for free listening and downloading by netizens from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.
It is conceivable that with the addition of these 3,000 songs, the popularity of "Music Network" will further increase.
At the same time, Hanhai has also begun to prepare for legal prosecution of all websites that have pirated and infringed works. Whether it is novels, songs or other future content creations, these will be included one by one by the Hanhai Legal Department. Any infringer
Everyone will be held accountable. In the coming decade of copyright chaos, Hanhai has already made adequate preparations in advance, and Han Han will be responsible for this in the future.
More than half of his two-and-a-half-year postgraduate career has passed, and with one year left, Han Han will graduate from the Law Department of Peking University.
After graduation, in addition to serving as Li Qing's administrative assistant, Han Han will also take over the affairs of the legal department. Although she is young and lacks experience, in Li Qing's words, don't you know more about everything through experience?
?
Hanhai has plenty of time for Han Han to grow up.
Although Hanhai acquired 100% of the shares of Julu Records, Julu Records has not withdrawn from the stage of history. In Taiwan, Julu Records still maintains its original registered name, but it only has legal persons, legal representatives, shareholders, supervisors, etc.
Change.
In the afternoon, after finishing everything, Liu Qin took Zhu Rongjie to the cultural and creative agency.
The cultural and creative company is a company established by Wu Gaohui, a famous Taiwanese variety show host. It has signed many well-known Taiwanese singers and hosts, but in general, in Taiwan, cultural and creative agents can only be regarded as second-tier companies, even with Sunset Xishan
Compared with Julu Records, there are still some gaps——
