Chapter 18 Malibu Night Talk

Song Jiu Xingxing is undoubtedly one of the representatives of the Japanese roll in the world's catering industry over the past 40 years.

Born in Saitama Prefecture, he is a standard world citizen and a full unlucky egg. In 1973, the 24 -year -old Matsushimoto went to the first restaurant in Peru with many Chinese residents.

Later, he stayed in Argentina for a while, and finally decided to go to Ankrech in Alaska. In this place where the cost of life is not high, he will continue to have the dream of opening a Japanese -style restaurant.

Who would have thought that only two weeks after the opening of the new restaurant, it was a torch due to a fire caused by an electrical appliance.

At this time, Song Jiu Xingxing completely lost his confidence in entrepreneurship. In 1977, he moved to Los Angeles. In the famous Mitsuwa and Oshou restaurants, it was ten years. In 1987, the 38 -year -old Song Jiu faithful was enough to save enough savings, and

The confidence of re -entrepreneurship. A Matsuma Japanese -style restaurant was opened on Los Angeles.

In the 1980s, Yueben was at the peak of prosperity of the economic cycle, known as the "Far East East Economic Miracle". In 1987, Song Jiuxin Xing opened a restaurant.

Again 710 US dollars.

In terms of cultural industry, it is represented by Ghibli Studio, and the comics and anime of the book quickly swept the world. The game industry led by Nintendo began to output Super Mario and Grand King Kong to the world.

The chaebol is a valuable asset in the United States. Now it is a subsidiary of the Sony Entertainment Group, which is full of Hollywood.

In this context, the Japanese diet also began to get increasing attention, opening a restaurant called the restaurant, and chain it, becoming a popular project that investors at that time.

During the last shareholder of the motherland, during the operation of the Matsuo Restaurant, he met classic films such as "Godfather 2", "Taxi Driver", "Deer Hunter" and "American Past".

Robert Dinro of the seat.

In the late 1980s, Robert De Niro was about more than ten years ago, but the masterpieces produced by the output are decreased year by year. He has been seeking the opportunity to develop multi-industry development.

Shin Xing's shot. Robert-Dinorla producer Merle Tip, as well as the catering tycoon Delu Niye Polnne, who has already collaborated on a restaurant, jointly invested in four people.

The first nobu.

Nobu is not a traditional restaurant. From the beginning of its establishment, its target customers are not saying that they are, or Asians who know about the food culture of the book. With the banner of Japanese -style fusion, NOBU sells European and American society

The neon with exotic style, but not too strange and scared diners, the depicting the neon on the clouds. Just look at its classic menu.

A plate, brought to the salt -pickled edamame for the current dish.

In essence, Nobu and Mr.CHOW and Hakkasan are the same as Chinese -style fusion restaurants in the United States.

A kind of racial huntingism and cultural moralism in the bones.

But this does not prevent Nobu from becoming the most successful Japanese -style high -end chain restaurant in the world in forty years. Takayama Yasa's MASA may be the only MASA in North America that can get Michelin Samsung, but 1,000 US dollars per capita.

Never bloom like Nobu.

Hyde Park in London, Central Park in New York, Fengdan Bailu Beach in Miami ... The principle of site selection that NOBU has always adhered to is the absolute core area of ​​a city.

High -end, but the price can be cleverly positioned for the middle class to grit.

In Los Angeles, NOBU has only two stores, one is the brand's first store, located in Western Hollywood, and now it has become the Lasher Avenue, which has become a high -end catering set in Asia. The other is in the core area of ​​Maliban Beach.

The balcony, the first wave flower from the Pacific Ocean, is just a distance of tens of feet.

In other words, whether it is a window or a sushi, every seat of the Marbu Nobu restaurant can enjoy an unparalleled wide -angle sea view.

Of course, in the restaurant, the most popular seats have to not exceed ten. The terrace table that can breathe fresh sea breeze. If you want to book these tables, ordinary people have to wait at least one and a half months.

It is not sure in the golden time.

At 8:30, or nine o'clock, if you are willing to be hungry, wait for the third time you will turn your turn.

However, all this is not a problem that Han Yi needs to worry about. Los Angeles Datong Private Bank of Los Angeles and Nobu of Marbu have established long -term stable cooperative relationships since opening.

Call for a reservation, otherwise it is almost all of the clients of Datong Private Bank.

The setting sun has sinking half from the sea. What the diners now see is that nature has the most gorgeous movements within 24 hours. The sky, the sea, and even everyone's face are gorgeous glow.

Taste the delicious fusion flavor sushi, accompanied by the soft music of the waves, Han Yi is conducting an important dialogue.

"... Answer your previous question, Ryan. In the music industry, there are four core resources, or raw materials. They are creation, mother belt, artists and performances."

"The composer and the lyricist created music and gave it to the management of music distribution companies. The music distribution company authorized the music to record the record company. The artist made the music with these recorded music.

, Fans of the hosting direction present these artists' wonderful performances. This is the most basic operating link in the music industry ... Of course, details and branches must be far more than that. "

"So, is music distribution company and record company different?"

Ericka's more than half of the energy was sitting behind her, and whispered to talk about the promotion plan of "Superman War Batman".

The noun made her a little confused.

"I always thought that music distribution and music recording are different departments that belong to the same company ... No, what is the difference between the two?"

"Let me change a method of explanation. There are two types of copyright -related music, music copyright and mother -in -law copyright. Music copyright refers to the words, songs, arrangement ... you can hear in a song you can hear

All elements, as long as they are original and creative, are protected by copyright. Note that what is protected here is the "thought" of music and 'creative expression'. "

On the other hand, if these music created music can be recorded into a recording version that can be heard by the public, then the copyright generated by this recording is called the mother with copyright. "

"In other words, a song, no, a music work, there is only one music copyright, and if there are different recording versions, it will produce different mother -in -law copyrights?"

"Very correct." Han Yi nodded. "Music distribution company is a person who manages music copyright. They can authorize the music in their hands to anyone, record company, film company, advertising company ... Any who wants to use music creation

people."

"The record company is authorized from the hands of the music distribution company, and the music is made into a recording product that can be consumed, and then sold to the audience.

, Warner, of course, these multinational music groups will have music distribution companies and record companies at the same time, because they want to form a complete ecological chain inside, but this does not change the essence of the relationship between the two. "

"Music issuers want to collect more license fees and version taxes. The record company wants to reduce the authorization fee and the version tax that needs to be paid to increase the gross profit margin. There will always be games and contradictions between the two."

Xu Yiru picked up a piece of swallowing fish and put it in her mouth and chewed slowly. She didn't seem to join the topic, but in fact she was listening with all her attention.

When she likes Han Yi about the love industry, the hopes of hope in the voice.

"Music distribution companies need to cooperate with creators to obtain music copyrights. As for the record company, they need to let the singers record the music works collected. Creators and singers, both belong to the scope of the artist. Individuals are organized.

There are always weaknesses in front of them, so artists need to help them plan their careers and conduct contract negotiating managers. This is the origin of the artist management company. "Jamal Miller has a strong ability to learn and understand.

When I mentioned a few words, I captured the key factors of the existence of artist managers.

"If I didn't understand the wrong, Mr. Han."

"A great interpretation, Jamal." Han Yi voted to his business relationship consultant to a praise look. It is a comfortable thing to have a helper with both minds and abilities. "Many people will managers and agents

People are confused. In most places in the world, including most states in the United States, their responsibilities are indeed overlapping. Performance brokers can provide professional development guidance for artists, and personal managers can also contact the performance by themselves. "

"But in New York State and California, there is an performing arts broker bill that requires those who need to contact the artist to hold the performing arts agency license. And we all know that New York and Los Angeles are the core areas of the world entertainment industry.

The practice of these cities has also become a fashion that follows the world. "

"So, you see, this is the most critical type of organizations: distribution companies, record companies, artist management companies, performing arts brokerage companies, and performance hosting companies."

"And you want to get involved in all of them." Ericka added.

"Forgive me, easy, ah ... Mr. Han." Ryan Oknner frowned, "I didn't see any problems, you should be able to do this easily."

185 million US dollars, isn't it enough to open five companies?

"Actually, there are great problems."

Han Yiwang was leaving a trace of light floating on the sea, and the sunset that was about to fall, sighed.

"I know what you are thinking. Yes, the balance in my bank account, no matter what kind of judgment standards, there are many. I can buy everything I can see on the market, clothes, watches, cars, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, houses, and houses

... Everything. "Han Yi paused, saying one by one," But in the music industry, this is just a grain of sand on the beach. "

"Take a very simple example, Sony ATV, the world's largest music copyright distribution company, it manages the copyright of 5 million music works. In 2011, Citi Group split EMI Music Group into two parts, records

The company was sold to Global Music for $ 1.9 billion, and the music distribution part was sold to the investment cluster led by Sony ATV for $ 2.2 billion. "

"In our era, the curse of the so -called pirated music and online download has been far away with NAPSTER. More and more subscribers on the music platform, the income of streaming media taxes is getting higher and higher, and the channels for realizing music copyrights are becoming more diversified.

Although there are indeed such problems, the music industry is experiencing another round of prosperity. "

Han Yi looked at Ryan and asked softly.

"In such a situation of rising, I rushed into the party with $ 185 million, how much cake can I eat?"

"The most important thing is, can I get the party's entry voucher? Bruce Sprinsin, Barbara-Studui, Police Band ... Will they sell the copyright to a new publisher that is not found?"

"But you don't need to become the most influential music group in the world, and you don't need to cooperate with the top musicians at the beginning." Jamal Miller opened his hand. "The business company is a long-termist

Things, even if it was slightly slower at first, as long as the business direction is correct, the income and reputation will definitely follow, our consultant ... "

"Jamal, my personality is, if you want to do it, it is best to do it." Han Yi interrupted Jamal's words. "If there is no knowledge and insight in a certain field, I am willing to spend three years, five years, and five years.

Even after ten years of time studying, I will never recklessly. "

"But in this regard, I have 100 % confidence. I can see the future development trend, and I know how to turn the trend into reality ... I need to hurry up, otherwise my insight will soon be

Become observation. "

Han Yi said very vaguely. No one except him knows the real meaning behind this passage.

Re -living, Han Yi's start is not the most ideal time. If he starts from 1996 or 2006, he has enough patience to cultivate, sign one or two newcomers, cultivate them into superstars, and gradually open up industry relations.

The Internet attracts the attention and joining of more talents through a brilliant success story, and eventually grows into an unshakable industry giant.

In essence, Han Yi is also a long -termist.

But now, it was 2016. Only seven years left before he was familiar with the time. Soon, all his advanced information will be caught up by the torrent of the times, and it is mercilessly drowned.

He must lay out in a very limited time, falling, sitting big, turning over.

Without a chance to fight, from the beginning, he had to be a giant crocodile.

If there is no gift from the sky, there is no mechanism that encourages him to do with his heart, even if the opportunity is in front of it, Han Yi will not be tempted. He is a very self -knowledgeable person. From the previous attitude towards Xu Yiru, you can see it.

Then, without a full grasp, it is impossible to act lightly.

Those who have been injured by the play will engrave cautiously in their bones.

However, Han Yi has 185 million US dollars. If it is properly consumed, he can even have several times assets. Even if it fails to break through the level, Han Yi can leave enough wealth for himself, so that he and future family members will have no worries about clothing and food.

Life.

Is there any reason not to let go of the second life of retreat?

Han Yi remembers the words in the memo very clearly. This life began to get and satisfy.

Men, only standing at the peak of the love industry is truly obtaining and satisfying.

"Performance brokerage company."

Xu Yiru, who has been silent, suddenly said at this time, of course, in order to understand everyone present, using English.

"You once told me that in terms of music, the power of the performing arts brokerage company is not as big as the film industry. In Hollywood, the acting agent can control the cast and success of a film, but in the music circle, they can only choose to choose

The venue of the musician tour city. "Xu Yiru looked at Han Yi," However, I remember, you also said that for successful musicians, the tax revenue generated by music usually only accounts for 20-30 of their income structure 20-30

%, The other 70-80%is linked to the various performances of the agent and business activities, right? Concert, nightclub performance, music festival, and even social media advertising and business endorsements. "

"Yes." Han Yi said slightly, and said softly, "Please continue, Grace."

"This is your best cutting entrance, Yi. I'm sure." Xu Yiru bloomed with a confident smile at him. "As a performing artist, no one is your enemy, everyone is your allies.

You can make the value of the music work rising through the tour. The record company needs you to expose the increase in stimulating the volume of the stimulating flow media playback, and the artists need you to help them make money. "

"When you can be the friend that everyone needs, you get the party's entry ticket."

"I can't agree again, Grace."

This is why Han Yi insisted on bringing Xu Yiru to participate in the conversation, not because he was timid, nor because he did not have a opinion. Han Yi knew that Xu Yiru, which was smarter than himself, even if he had no professional knowledge and there was no advanced information.

Can derive the same answer and become his most firm and loyal supporter.

In addition, you can add some unexpected joy to the original plan.

"This is also my idea. I want to acquire a well -known performing arts brokerage company in the industry, or at least some equity in order to carry out the next plan."

Han Yi's eyes stopped on the face of Ryan and Jamal.

"But how should I start the first step?"

"Who would be willing to sell the company to a 22 -year -old Asian college student?"

"Who would like to continue working for such a person after the acquisition?"

"Private Equity Fund!"

Almost at the same time, Ryan and Jamal shouted the solution.

"Private equity fund?" Han Yi's pupils shrink, and he has made all plans to formulate it, and only lacks a red line of the whole game.

And now, this red line seems to be close to it.

"Yes, private equity funds. Entertainment industry and them are not strangers."

It was Jamal's turn to say to Han Yi.

"In fact, any company that wants to grow rapidly, regardless of the industry, will need the help of private equity funds. I am talking about black stones, Kaili, KKR, CVC, TPG, Apollo, all these Wall Street players."

"Simple explanation is that private equity funds are a collective investment plan, a capital company that manages private equity funds, absorb funds from rich individuals and institutions, and use these funds to invest in various companies.

Come to get income ... Of course, investing in other private equity funds is also a common way. "

"Unlike hedging funds, hedge funds focus on the short -term returns of the secondary market, and what private equity funds want is the stable monetization of the first -level market, the performing arts brokerage company, the music issuance company, the private equity fund likes any investment that allows them to make them.

Those who see the return assets ... If you remember correctly, Mr. Han, you just mentioned that among the investors who acquire EMI music distribution business, there are also Blackstone Group. Seeing ghosts, I remember even Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth

The funds are involved, what is the name, Ryan? "

"Mubadala." Ryan replied, "Very complicated name."

"Yes, Mubadala." Jamal nodded and looked at Han Yi. "This is my suggestion. Mr. Han, you should check the private equity groups, choose the one you like the most, and with them

Cooperation. Each capital group has private equity funds related to the direction of entertainment. If your investment share is enough, they are also happy to listen to the opinions of investors. "

"If there are enough investment, they can tailor private equity funds for you." Ryan added, "Real,‘ private ’fundraising funds.”

"So, if I understand correctly ..."

Han Yi said.

"Choosing to invest money into a private equity fund means that I can fund all myself, or I can raise more investors through capital groups such as Blackstone to acquire more shares."

"During the whole process, the acquired party will not see a 22 -year -old young man, only a huge Wall Street consortium will be seen."

"That's it, brother." Ryan also became excited. He patted his palm, and his tone was half a point.

"For private companies that require financing and development, private equity funds are their most desire investors. In fact, as long as the news that these companies are viewed by blackstone or Carey are enough, they are enough for their valuation."

"Why only choose to be a giant, Mr. Han."

Jamal raised his body, stretched his waist, blinked with a smile on Han Yi, and painted the most perfect footnote for the entire conversation.

"You can obviously become their God."

"Become their God ..."

The discourse scratched from his mind like lightning. In the night, Han Yi's eyes lit up.

"Guys, I should now book a ticket to New York, right?"
