After the topic related to art naming came to an end.
Some plutocratic groups, directors of art venues, and politicians from local counties and cities in the empire expressed interest in cooperation with the "World Music Radio" that Fan Ning showed the night before.
Some of them are intended to be used for communication technology. For example, the railway company is planning to build an "emergency command center" and Hezhong Fruit Industry wants to build a "logistics transfer division".
Arts management practitioners and local officials saw a future trend or prospect in Fan Ning's big move.
A new thing that may be called the "xx Radio Symphony Orchestra"!
Yes, just now at least 3 heads of art venues and 5 local politicians have shown a strong interest in the establishment of the local "xx Radio Symphony Orchestra"!
In fact, in the classical music world of Fan Ning's previous life, in addition to the "Philharmonic Orchestra" and "Festival Orchestra", the "Radio Symphony Orchestra" was another important component.
As the name suggests, this refers to the symphony groups that emerged with the rise of radio communication technology in the early 20th century. Most of them are attached to local broadcasting organizations to provide performance services to the people in the coverage area.
Some modern people who lack understanding may not expect that the music radio that Germans listened to for more than a hundred years did not rely on the host to flick the switch of the device to play music, but there was actually a symphony orchestra playing for you behind the scenes.
Especially after World War II, the construction of radio symphony orchestras quickly became an important measure for the development of public cultural undertakings in many countries. They not only retained the historical tradition of European music, with profound heritage and exquisite skills, but also had a sense of the trend of the times.
In Fan Ning's current life, on the one hand, the industrial gentlemen and cultural dignitaries of the Northern Continent have such forward-looking needs; on the other hand, the Western Continent and the Southern Continent are also facing problems similar to "World War II"!
——A considerable number of opera houses and concert halls were destroyed, and a large number of musicians and conductors were unable to immediately engage in musical activities.
They all hope to purchase a batch of "World Radio" equipment and hope that Turner Art Hall can provide technical guidance.
Fan Ning expressed her welcome and support for this.
However, he gave some explanations truthfully.
If you are helping the other party to build, first of all, you cannot have a "projection" effect like you can, only sound. Of course, the sound quality is still almost "lossless".
Secondly, the coverage cannot be all over the world. If we take the Northern Continent as an estimate, it is estimated that 6-7 radio stations need to be distributed to cover the empire's land and sea territories.
According to Fan Ning, this is a limitation caused by a combination of technical and mysterious reasons.
The real reason behind it is a bit embarrassing: because Fan Ning only has one Qiming Church.
You use it, I use it, everyone uses it. If a car crashes in time, there will be 360-degree ghosting.
But if other radio stations give up the "projection" function and only have sound, Fan Ning found after trying it that they can avoid interfering with each other!
Because he can use the invisible power of the "key" to divide the area of Qiming Church into limited sections, so that each radio station can sound and project without interfering with each other!
Well, it's just like renting a parking space.
Of course, the best location is the ceremonial stage, which should be reserved for you. For other rented radio stations, find a place under the ceremonial stage.
Anyway, the sound will not be noticeable if you make a partition. When your own "World Radio" is projected, you don't have to worry about strange things being thrown in.
After listening to Fan Ning's explanation of restrictions, these partners all said it was okay.
Originally, they were local people and focused on the market where they were located.
A radio station can cover an area of five, six or even seven or eight counties in a timely manner without the need for repeated broadcasts. The sound effect is "lossless" and even has indescribable emotional resonance. What else should we worry about?
They asked Fan Ning to give a price, including workmanship, equipment, mysticism-related consumables, etc.
Fan Ning said that radio equipment and other things can be purchased normally on the market, as well as extraordinary consumables. These people have their own channels to contact official organizations.
Just make a list of what you need and let them purchase it on their own. It's free to share and it's not a confidential patent.
I mainly only charge for "installation, debugging and operation and maintenance"!
What is the specific charging model? Fanning said that for installation and commissioning, just pay the Turner Art Hall the travel and labor costs. Each main station or listening point only costs tens to hundreds of pounds.
Mainly for operation and maintenance services, payment is made on an annual basis!
As for the unit price, it is calculated based on the population of the covered area. After all, this thing directly determines the market size, and everyone is the current or future audience.
The charging standard proposed by Fan Ning is 0.5 pence per person per year. It doesn't matter if the demographic data lags behind, just follow the latest official calculation!
These local politicians and venue managers calculated in their minds that if it covers an area with a population of 40 million, the annual fee will be more than 80,000 pounds. If it is a prosperous area in the north of the empire, with 100 million people, the annual fee will be more than 200,000 pounds.
The cost of this technology upgrade is definitely not expensive.
The main reason is that the annual fee of 80,000 to 200,000 pounds does not require the financial resources of a single county government to bear it!
Because there are several counties in one area, they are equivalent to the second-level cooperative units of the radio station.
Then those art venues, symphony orchestras, or smaller local cities are equivalent to third-level cooperation units.
Even in a sense, the main station still makes money!
The person in charge of the National Northern Radio station in Fort Saint-Talán made the decision on the spot! The person in charge of the Eastern Radio Station of Tioline and the "Voice of Janus" Radio Station in the Western Continent followed immediately.
"Master Fan Ning, for such a mystical large-scale project, I'm afraid you will have to spend more time in secret."
"But we must embrace the times." Fan Ning smiled noncommittally.
In fact, I am only going to send a low-level or mid-level knowledgeable person to help you install it, he added secretly in his mind.
A knowledgeable person who studies "Candle" or "Key" takes the temporary secret contract he drew and goes to the site to draw a witness symbol of "Endless Fugue". Then he tries the effect several times and gives guidance to the construction workers.
Just adjust the altar slightly.
As for "operation and maintenance", isn't it just waiting for the spiritual liquid in the secret atmosphere to be consumed, then sending someone to erase the witness talisman, add the spiritual liquid they purchased themselves, and then draw it again?
After the "World Radio" matter was discussed, Prince Louis, the investor of the Hoffman Record Publishing Company and the sender of the invitation letter for yesterday's investiture ceremony, approached him alone.
Anyway, Walter on the side was completely stunned.
"Uh, Master Fan Ning, how much amount of cooperation intentions have you negotiated in just over an hour? Well, there were really a lot of people who came just now. They spoke too fast and the efficiency was too high."
"I don't know either. You can go back and add some." Fan Ning held a glass of rose water, leaning on the seat and looking at the fountain outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
"If these projects can all be implemented this year, then the financial situation of our theaters will be different." Walter felt a sense of relief on his shoulders.
"I wonder, Mr. Director, have you ever paid attention to the rankings of those chaebol groups in Tioline, or the operating data of the leading art venues in our industry?" Fan Ning asked suddenly.
"Other industry groups? They really don't pay much attention." Walter answered truthfully, "But the business conditions of art venues are naturally the focus of research."
"Due to the existence of chain theaters, our current volume is the largest in the world. Well, I know this is not necessarily an advantage. Because the expansion speed is too fast and the profitability of third- and fourth-level theaters is poor, the cash flow is very tight. If we say
In terms of profit margin, we are now barely around 10th place, and because the base is so large, every improvement is extremely difficult.”
"This 10th place is meaningless." Fan Ning laughed, "Did you know that Turner Art Hall is also a registered company, or group. Our assets, revenue and profits are only in the Tioline Empire.
It’s just outside the 200th place!”
He pointed at Walter opposite him and then at himself: "Among the large group of people just now, you and I are probably at the bottom of the poverty spectrum."
Walter was startled for a moment.
"Of course, the original intention of our business is not to become a chaebol, but it is difficult to do things without money, my Mr. Director."
Fan Ning stretched and slowly stood up from his seat.
"In order to achieve the things we envisioned before, we need more adequate external nutrition, as well as a healthier internal body."
"Master Fan Ning, good afternoon."
"It is an honor for us to participate in the awarding ceremony of the Order of the Thistle with you later."
"Haha, of course, the meaning behind it is different. You are the official 'Boethius' artist, and we are just nominating."
Four more gentlemen in formal suits came over to say hello and sat down on the couch next to Fan Ning.
Four artists who have recently been promoted to "Lion Forging"? Fan Ning read the subtext of their pleasantries.
Four "forged lions" suddenly appeared, and they actually received the highest-level Imperial Thistle Medal? Has the art industry been so prosperous in recent years? Or is it that the "Potential Artists" discovery plan of the Special Inspectorate has "realized" again?
A wave?
Walter found that his boss didn't seem to be very familiar with the people who came to say hello this time. Finally, the value of his trip was put to use, and he got ahead of these people who wanted to introduce themselves: "
Master Fan Ning, let me introduce it to you."
He put his fingers together and stretched out his hand, pointing to the person sitting closest to him.
The artist's face was a little haggard, his figure was a little thin, and his shoulders could not hold up the dress well. Facing the gazes of several people, his greetings were very polite, but there was almost no movement at the corners of his mouth.
"This is Mr. Solomon Hershey, a great composer, pianist, and special music critic of the emerging art journal "End of the Century". He gained artistic recognition in the art world with his collection of atonal piano works "Winter Fables" published in 915 of the New Calendar.
