Rebirth 2003: Dominate the Tech World

Treasure Island, Zhou Tianwang returned home after a busy day, and suddenly remembered that someone called him this afternoon. Well, it seems that someone said that he had written a few songs and wanted to cooperate with me?

Zhou Tianwang opened his Yahoo mailbox, and there was indeed a strange email in it. When he opened it, when he saw the two words “Nocturne”, his heart was shocked, because there was always a voice in his heart that wanted to write a song with these two words.

Looking down, “Play Chopin’s Nocturne for you, to commemorate my dead love, the sound is like the night wind, heartbreaking and beautiful.” Just one line of lyrics directly captured his heart. He looked at the song again, and then he tried to sing it a cappella, and the whole person was completely immersed in it.

Like his own fateful song, Zhou Tianwang sang it over and over again. He himself is a top songwriter and naturally knows the high quality of this song.

“Dani, postpone all activities tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and book a flight to Lincheng City, Lingwu Province, mainland China tomorrow.” Zhou Tianwang greeted his assistant.

“Wait a minute, I’ll call Mr. Yang first.” Mr. Yang, the general manager of the record company where Zhou Tianwang is now, was discovered by him, and Zhou Tianwang is what he is now.

Zhou Tianwang expressed the degree of fit between this song and him on the phone, and explained the benefits and impact that this song might bring to the company.

Yang Rong certainly supports Zhou Tianwang very much. He knows that Zhou Tianwang’s taste is not bad. Since he praises this song so much, he must get it. So Yang Rong directly arranged for the company’s marketing manager and financial director to accompany him, and the goal was to get this song.

On the other hand, Ye Yunzhou was a little disappointed that Zhou Tianwang didn’t call him back after dinner. He thought that since Zhou Tianwang didn’t call back, he might not like it, or didn’t even look at it.

However, just when Ye Yunzhou was about to wash up and go to bed, the phone suddenly rang. When the call was connected, it was Zhou Tianwang’s voice.

“Hello, Mr. Ye. Sorry to bother you so late. I’ve seen the song you sent me and I think it’s pretty good. I want to buy the copyright of this song.” King Zhou didn’t beat around the bush, but directly expressed his willingness to buy.

“Good evening, Mr. Zhou. I’m glad you called me back. To be honest, I’ve written a few more songs, and the quality is not inferior to this one. How about you take some time to come and talk offline?”

“Of course, no problem. We’re on a flight tomorrow. I hope we can reach a cooperation next time.”

“……”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yunzhou shouted “Yeah”, feeling that his first pot of gold was about to be in his hands.

Ye Yunzhou walked to his parents’ bedroom, “Mom and Dad, who of you can take a day off tomorrow and come with me to discuss a business.”

Dad was reading a book and was stunned when he heard it.

“Talk about business? What business are you talking about? What kind of tricks are you going to do?” Dad put down the book and said.

“You know the copyrights of the songs my mom registered for me a few days ago. Today, Zhou Tianwang contacted me and wanted to buy the copyrights of my songs. They will come tomorrow, so you have to take one person with me.”

“What? Zhou Tianwang? Is it the Zhou Tianwang from Taiwan?” Dad was very surprised, because this person is very popular, and he is also a fan of Zhou Tianwang. He didn’t expect that he would buy songs from his son.

Mom knows songs better than dad, and knows that her son’s songs are really well written, so it’s not surprising that Zhou Tianwang likes them.

“Let your dad go with you. He is a fan of Zhou Tianwang, which is a dream come true.” Li Wanrong said to Ye Yunzhou.

“Then I will ask Director Zhou for leave now.”

“……”

Everything is done, and only the negotiation with Zhou Tianwang tomorrow is left.

Ye Yunzhou slept soundly that night. He had a dream. In the dream, he founded a company, which became the greatest company in the world, and he became the youngest richest man in the world. Countless beautiful women took the initiative to throw themselves into his arms…

Ye Yunzhou woke up from his sleep at 7:30 in the morning. Even the alarm at 6:30 didn’t wake him up, so you can imagine how soundly he slept.

His mother had already gone to work, and on the table was breakfast prepared for Ye Yunzhou. At this time, his father was trying on clothes, and he took out the suits he wore when he got married. You can imagine how much he valued meeting his idol.

“Dad, don’t be so exaggerated. We are going to negotiate, not to chase stars.” Ye Yunzhou looked at his father and was a little speechless.

His father ignored him and changed his clothes by himself.

After breakfast, Ye Yunzhou confirmed the time with Zhou Tianwang again. They were on a flight at 9 o’clock in the morning. If there was no delay, they should arrive in Lincheng at 11 o’clock.

After Ye Yunzhou prepared the relevant documents, he went out on time at 10 o’clock. For Ye Yunzhou, being on time for business talks is very importantIn his previous life, as a worker, he had experienced many business negotiations. Many failed cases were due to the loss of cooperation opportunities due to disrespect for partners and deliberate arrogance and unpunctuality.

At the Peninsula Hotel, Ye Yunzhou and Ye Zhenting waited until half past eleven, when Zhou Tianwang and his party finally arrived. Zhou Tianwang wore a hat and a mask, and surrounded himself tightly.

The other people accompanying him were all dressed in business suits.

“Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Ye Yunzhou, and this is my father Ye Zhenting. We are all your fans.” Ye Yunzhou extended his hand to greet Zhou Tianwang.

Zhou Tianwang introduced the people around him. One was Zhou Tianwang’s assistant Dani, and the other two were the financial director and marketing manager of their record company. The bodyguards who came with him were outside the hotel and did not come in.

Ye Yunzhou was secretly happy when he saw that the other party had brought the financial director with him, proving that they were determined to win, so he would have more confidence to make an offer.

“Mr. Ye, let’s get straight to the point. We want to buy the copyright of this song. Mr. Ye, just name a price.” After sitting down, the marketing manager of Jay Chou’s company spoke first.

“Don’t worry, I still have ten songs here. Please take a look at them first, Mr. Zhou JL, and help to taste them.” Ye Yunzhou was not in a hurry to discuss the price, but took out another ten songs he had prepared from the file package.

Jay Chou took the file and opened it. What caught his eye was a Chinese-style song called “Compendium of Materia Medica”, followed by several Chinese-style songs “Blue and White Porcelain”, “Lanting Preface”, “Fireworks are Easy to Cool”, and “Random Dance of Spring and Autumn”. Hmm, there are so many high-quality Chinese-style songs? Then he read on. Wow, the song “The Seventh Chapter of the Night” is of such high quality. This dark style is so suitable for me. Hmm, the anti-war song “The Sorrow of Ending the War” has such a high artistic conception,…….

After Jay Chou finished reading it, his desire for these songs reached its peak. These songs were simply tailor-made for him. Zhou Tianwang winked at their marketing manager, and the two stood up and left for a while on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Ye Yunzhou saw it all. For him, who had more than ten years of working experience in his previous life, how could such a small action escape his eyes? Zhou Tianwang’s action was obviously moved by these songs, and he wanted to discuss with the marketing manager to get them.

After more than ten minutes, the two finally came back and the negotiation continued.

“Mr. Ye, our Zhou Tianwang thinks these songs are okay and can be used. We hope to get the copyright transfer. Mr. Ye, please name a price.” Zhou Tianwang’s company’s marketing manager said to Ye Yunzhou’s father.

In his eyes, the decision must be made by the father, not the son who looks like a high school student.

Ye Zhenting didn’t say anything, but motioned him to talk to Ye Yunzhou. This was what Ye Yunzhou and his father agreed to when they came here, and this time the negotiation was all left to him.

For Ye Zhenting, Ye Yunzhou has created too many miracles during this period, and he believes in his son very much. Moreover, although he has been teaching for more than ten years, he has never experienced business negotiations.

The manager was not embarrassed by the misunderstanding. He turned to look at Ye Yunzhou and motioned him to speak.

“Mr. Zhou JL, let me tell you my way of cooperation. The first is copyright authorization. I authorize the copyright for 20 years. During these 20 years, the copyright of these songs is authorized to your company, and all the profits belong to you. After 20 years, I will take back the copyright of these songs. The second is copyright transfer. I transfer the copyright of these songs to you. In the future, these songs have nothing to do with me. It is a one-time transaction. I wonder which one you prefer?”

King Zhou and the marketing manager looked at each other and said in unison, “The second one.”

“Let’s talk about it according to the second one.” The manager then added.

“Okay, I don’t know how Mr. Zhou cooperated with Mr. Fang WS, but I know that the songs he wrote for you are not cheap. I ask myself that the quality of the songs I wrote is not worse than his. I will sell them together according to my way. It’s okay to calculate it at 20,000 RMB per word.” Ye Yunzhou said.

Zhou Tianwang and the marketing manager looked at each other in bewilderment, because it was unprecedented to charge the copyright of songs by the number of words.

“Mr. Ye, your cooperation method is very novel, and we can accept it. However, your price is too high. This price is higher than that of the songwriters in Hong Kong and Taiwan. We come with sincerity, and I hope you can give us a sincere offer.”

Ye Zhenting was also a little surprised, thinking, are my son’s songs really so valuable? 20,000 yuan per word? You know, his current monthly salary is only more than 2,000 yuan a month.
