Global Tycoon: You Call This A Small Achievement?

The economy is the body and finance is the blood.

The same is true for a consortium. The Three Financial Musketeers are the absolute core of the entire consortium. Calling yourself a consortium without a complete financial system is essentially the same as Xiangjiang calling a 100-square-meter house a peak luxury home.

Just when Orient Securities, Tai'an Insurance, and East Asia Investment Bank were gearing up for a hearty merger, the Hong Kong government and the island country agreed to respect each other's music copyrights.

The good news of opening markets to each other finally came.

From the overall situation, it is natural that everyone is happy, but it is not without its core.

For the musicians of the island country, they have been infringed for many years. They thought they would be able to gain a lot of weight, but they never expected that they would only get three melons and two dates. It is a pity to throw away the tasteless food.

The only good news is probably that Xiangjiang promised to open up the market to the island country’s music scene, and promised that the Hong Kong music scene “will not cover or Chinese-adapt the island country’s first music works without authorization.”

In the long run, the island country will have a slight possibility of taking advantage of the special relationship between Hong Kong and the Chinese community in South Asia and entering the vast South Asia market.

For Xiangjiang, the atmosphere has become a little more subtle.

The island country has opened up its music market to Hong Kong and no longer discriminates against it. This is certainly worthy of celebration, and even a big write-up!

After all, no matter how hard we try to dominate Xiangjiang, one problem that cannot be avoided is that Xiangjiang only has a population of over two million.

The so-called Pearl of the Orient and Paradise on Earth are completely filtered results.

As we all know, there is always more than one pearl in England.

As for the paradise on earth imagined by many South Asian countries, that is even more nonsense!

In a place where societies are everywhere, where protection fees are collected everywhere, and where the bottom class of society is exploited wantonly, how can heaven on earth have anything to do with Hong Kong?

The great thing is that the economic level is higher and the disposable income is higher.

When others were passing down the same clothes for three generations, the people of Xiangjiang had already realized the freedom of dressing; when others were eating grains to satisfy their hunger, Xiangjiang had reached a level where there was no shortage of chicken, duck, fish and meat, and a rich vegetable basket; when others were still struggling for a bicycle And when it feels so far away, young people in Xiangjiang are already discussing whether it is necessary to buy a car when they get married.

From this perspective, Xiangjiang’s title of paradise on earth is truly worthy of its name.

However, an indisputable fact is that the light of Yazhou in this era is in the island country.

The gap between Hong Kong and island countries is not only reflected in size, but also in terms of industrial level.

With the exception of Hong Kong films, almost every industry in Hong Kong has been crushed by the island country.

The most important reason why Xiangjiang has reached a per capita level close to that of an island country by virtue of its medium-level industrial level is its special role.

For the free world, Hong Kong is a window for exchanges between the East and the West; for China, it is a strategic buffer with the Western world.

Every year, the re-export trade alone is enough to offset the countless hardships of the islanders.

The saying that Xiangjiang is a lucky one is mainly reflected in the entrepot trade. You don't have to do anything, just be a second-rate dealer, and you can make a lot of money.

However, this kind of good life is destined to not last long. Relying too much on this advantage will easily cause you to be instantly knocked back to your original shape when you lose this advantage one day.

"Boss, it's so noisy outside!"

Liang Zheng found He Zhou as if his butt was on fire, "Nowadays, a large number of Hong Kong musicians are dissatisfied with the decision reached by the Hong Kong government and the island country. They think it will ruin the Hong Kong music scene."

"Dissatisfied? What do they have to be dissatisfied with!"

He Zhou sneered and didn't take it seriously, with a hint of mockery on his face, "It's not that you can't cover or adapt it, it's just that you need to obtain authorization in advance!"

After all, there has never been a music scene in Xiangjiang, only the entertainment industry.

It has developed to this stage and Xiangjiang music has become such a ghost. Isn’t it all caused by these free prostitutes?

Oh, you used to be able to do it for free, but now you need to spend money to get authorization, so you just jumped right in?

"Is there no problem within Huaxing?" He Zhou suddenly asked, staring directly at Liang Zheng, with a look on his face that was ready to scare the monkeys at any time.

Liang Zheng was frightened and said hurriedly: "Huaxing is fine. Everyone firmly supports the company's decision and the Hong Kong government's decision. Even if they have a grudge, they will not express their opinions freely in front of the public."

Hearing this, He Zhou nodded slowly, showing a sincere look, "China Star must show its clear attitude on the issue of insisting on originality and respecting copyright."

Feng Nanya can continue to ignore intellectual property rights, and the mainland can even ignore it for several more decades. However, with the development of Xiangjiang today, it has come to a time when we need to pay attention to what we eat, and we can no longer plagiarize and infringe unscrupulously.

Of course, He Zhou also made some small adjustments in this matter.

Long before the Hong Kong government formally contacted the island country, he had already instructed China Star to obtain the exclusive rights in Hong Kong for the island country's songs that had been barely famous in the past 20 or 30 years.

Before this incident spread, island musicians had been suffering from prostitution for 20 to 30 years in Hong Kong. Now it is difficult to find someone who is willing to pay. Even if it is a cabbage price, it is still meat as big as a mosquito leg.

In other words, in the future, if the singers of China Star Records want to cover or adapt the songs of the island country, they will only need to pay some symbolic money to the company. However, if the singers of other record companies in Hong Kong want to cover and adapt songs, they will need to follow the instructions of China Star Records. The record requires payment...

As for how much to pay? That depends on the mood of Huaxing Records. If you have the ability, don't cover the island country's songs in Chinese.

All in all, Huaxing Records owns the most complete music copyright of Taiwanese music in Hong Kong, and it has initially qualified to be a hooligan.

'Hey, I'm such a little genius!'

Without anyone noticing, it has added a lot of revenue to Huaxing. It is conservatively estimated that there is a net profit of several million Hong Kong dollars every year, or even more!

After sending Liang Zheng away, He Zhou took advantage of the situation and called Director Li, implying that the other party was putting pressure on the Hong Kong music scene.

On their own side, they manipulated public opinion and labeled those so-called Hong Kong musicians who prostituted music from the island country without paying them as "a rat's excrement spoils the whole pot of porridge." They angrily denounced these musicians as black sheep and seriously harmful. It will damage the image of Xiangjiang in the world and greatly reduce the status and influence of Xiangjiang in the world.

As soon as the national flag was raised, the originally grand Xiangjiang Musicians United Association immediately dispersed. Even their fans were chasing after them and scolding these people until they were bloody.

Three days later, some original musicians who had once been popular but had retired, and some who were currently popular, suddenly appeared in newspapers one after another, clearly expressing their stance and shouting, "Support originality, support genuine music."

This is of course also the work of He Zhou, who is liaising with the top ten record companies in Hong Kong and giving various explicit hints to his singers.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Zhang Xueyou, and the beyond rock band from Huaxing Records all appeared as drummers and performed extremely eye-catchingly, making their presence felt in front of the media. .
