Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

284 A blue ocean of domestic music market

Just when sisters Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, and their two brothers, were chatting and reminiscing in their hotel room.

In the large private room of the hotel restaurant, Qiao Zuwang finally finished talking about his depression, and then he drank too much Maotai and couldn't get drunk anymore.

I don’t know whether he was really drunk or pretending to be drunk. Anyway, he was unconscious.

In response, Cao Zhiqiang, who didn't drink much, graciously opened a three-person room and found a male waiter to help the unconscious Qiao Zuwang and go to the three-person room to lie down and rest.

The purpose of opening a triple room is obviously to let Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang stay in that room for one night, so that they can all experience the treatment of a super luxury hotel.

After Qiao Zuwang was helped away by the waiter and only Chen Jiabang, his wife and Cao Zhiqiang were left at the wine table, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but said to Cao Zhiqiang:

"Zhiqiang, I think this Qiao Zuwang is a typical mercenary villain. Is it appropriate for you to deliberately show your wealth in front of him and treat him so kindly? What if he takes advantage of you and opens his mouth?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, I know better than you who Qiao Zuwang is. This person is indeed a villain, but he is a smart villain. He knows how much food he can eat, and what things he can touch.

You can't touch things yourself.

If we come from the capital, if we hide and tuck in and dig around, it will make him think too much, thinking that we are afraid of something.

However, we do everything openly and clearly, telling him our status, position and work situation, and even exaggerate and brag a little bit, which can actually scare the other person.

Although I did not talk about my own situation, Secretary Chen's current position as the vice president of the Beijing Publishing House and the secretary to the director of a state-owned enterprise directly under the ministry was enough to scare him.

Even though he was in Nanjing, it seemed as if the sky was high and the emperor was far away, but when faced with a Beijing official like Brother Chen, he was still not enough.

The fact that we are pleasant to him now just shows that we are decent people.

But once he gets greedy and annoys us, is it not easy to deal with him?

If nothing else, it’s not difficult to find a way to put people like Qiao Zuwang in jail, right?

Once Qiao Zuwang goes to jail and we want to adopt his child, do we still need to ask Qiao Zuwang what he means?

Let's put it this way, once Qiao Zuwang is caught and temporarily loses his guardianship qualification, his children will definitely be taken care of by Qiao Zuwang's sister-in-law.

As for Qiao Zuwang's sister-in-law, I know more or less that she is also a person who is blind to money.

As long as you give her some money, it's not that difficult to adopt Qiao Simei.

Of course, we won’t do that unless we have to, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do it, right, Brother Chen?”

Upon hearing Cao Zhiqiang's question, Chen Jiabang subconsciously looked at the door of the private room, then turned his head and whispered: "If it is to frame a small person like Qiao Zuwang, of course I can do it. I also have some friends here. As long as you pay enough, it is not difficult.

manage."

"Stop talking about this." Mrs. Chen quickly lowered her voice, "It's so unpleasant. It sounds like we are bad people."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I am just making an analogy. In fact, Qiao Zuwang is a smart man. He must know whether we have this ability from our appearance and what we said at the dinner table.

As the saying goes, the people do not fight against the officials. Although Brother Chen is not an official in the true sense, he is almost there.

Qiao Zuwang thought he had figured out the details of Brother Chen, so he would definitely consider whether he could be greedy for Brother Chen.

To take a step back, even if Brother Chen doesn't deal with Qiao Zuwang, as long as you and your wife choose to give up the adoption of Qiao Simei, won't Qiao Zuwang be in vain?

Once you don't adopt Qiao Simei, Qiao Simei will continue to live there, and Qiao Zuwang will have to spend money to raise her, which will put a lot of pressure on her.

Not only that, without you, Qiao Zuwang will also lose the opportunity to climb your high branches, which he will definitely not be happy about.

Moreover, he must also know that people like you must really hate people who care about everything.

That's why he simply didn't want the money, and pretended to be reluctant to part with him, caring about his family very much, but had to reluctantly give up his love for the sake of a better life for his children.

He definitely hopes to use this method to make us like him and think that he is not the kind of greedy and careless person.

Only in this way will we be able to help him if he asks us for something in the future.

This is called taking a long shot to catch the big fish.”

"Oh, that's right." Mrs. Chen nodded, "It seems that Qiao Zuwang still has some brains."

"Qiao Zuwang is a traditional businessman." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "Businesspeople always have to be a little clever."

Mrs. Chen nodded: "Then what do you think we should do next?"

"What else can we do?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Hasn't he already agreed? Then go and go through the formalities with him tomorrow. As long as both parties agree, I believe it will be done soon."

"That's fine." Mrs. Chen agreed, "Then let's withdraw now, go back and rest early, and go through the formalities early tomorrow morning?"

As soon as Mrs. Chen said this, everyone agreed, so they left the restaurant and went back to their respective rooms.

At this time, Cao Zhiqiang didn't know that Qiao Simei had already sold almost all his details to his brother, and thought that no one else knew about his situation.

As a result, Cao Zhiqiang did not go back to his private room first, but went to Cao Lili and Qiao Simei's room.

This was because he knew that Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang had followed Cao Lili and Qiao Simei and went back to their room to catch up on old times, so if he wanted to notify Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang, of course he had to come here.

"Brother, are you here?" After seeing Cao Zhiqiang arriving, Qiao Simei was the first to rush over and seemed to be very attached to Cao Zhiqiang.

"Yeah." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and touched Qiao Simei's head, then looked at Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang who stood up together.

"One percent, two strong." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I came here to tell you that your father was drunk and unconscious, so President Chen assigned a three-person room and temporarily let your father rest there.

It’s getting late now, and since your father is drunk, why don’t you all stay here together for one night, what do you think?”

"Really?" Qiao Erqiang couldn't help but said, "Can you really stay here for one night?"

"Really." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"That's great!" Qiao Erqiang couldn't help but tugged on Qiao Yicheng's arm, "Brother, we can stay here for one night, that's great!"

Qiao Yicheng smiled awkwardly, and then nodded solemnly to Cao Zhiqiang: "Thank you, Brother Cao."

"Why are you thanking me?" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "It's all President Chen's work. I'm just here to eat and drink."

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang told Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang the room number where Qiao Zuwang was resting, and asked them to go to the service desk to find the waiter and ask the waiter to take them to the room to rest.

"Okay, my mission is completed, I will go back to the house to rest." After saying this, Cao Zhiqiang said.

"As for you, it's nice to meet again after a long absence, but don't talk here for too long.

Especially Lili and Simei, you are still young and cannot stay up late.

It is now 8:12 pm.

Let's do this, you can talk until 9:30 in the evening. By 9:30, Lili and Simei must go to bed and rest.

Don't sleep too late, otherwise it will affect your growth and development.

Anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, and you will have plenty of time to catch up on old times together during the day tomorrow, right?"

"I know, brother." Cao Lili smiled and nodded, "I will."

"I can do it, Brother Cao." Qiao Simei said with a smile, "I will definitely listen to you!"

Cao Zhiqiang touched Qiao Simei's head again, nodded to Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang, and then left the room and went back to his room to rest.

After returning to his single suite, Cao Zhiqiang first changed into a set of pajamas, and then went to fill the bathtub with water.

Taking advantage of the break, he took out his notebook and ballpoint pen and continued his plagiarism, no, his creative career.

This time, there are no martial arts novels, popular science novels or other emotional novels in the little notebook, but some popular songs.

Because Cao Zhiqiang has decided that from now on his main business will be singing and recording.

This does not mean that Cao Zhiqiang has given up publishing books, but that in the current domestic market, martial arts novels are still banned. It is not possible to forcefully publish martial arts novels, but that can only be done secretly and it is easy to leave clues.

Cao Zhiqiang has a lot of good resources at his disposal, and it’s not just martial arts novels, so why does he have to mess with the policy?

What's more, now that Cao Zhiqiang himself and the publishing house he controls are all short of money, it's time to open his own record company and release his own records.

Publishing records or recording tapes of popular songs is not prohibited in China at this time, as long as the lyrics don't go too far.

Some love songs about love, or some red songs about the motherland can be released.

Although the price of a cassette tape in China is not expensive at present, and even a record with songs recorded on it is not expensive, there are so many people.

In a market of one billion people, as long as the songs are good, they can easily sell millions of copies, and they can definitely beat the local market in Xiangjiang.

What's more, he also became a good friend with Japanese singer Masashi Zuoda. With the help of Masashi Zuoda, he can also attack the Japanese market in the future.

For others, the Japanese market is difficult, but for Cao Zhiqiang, who is proficient in Japanese, it is not a problem at all.

In 1983, not only Japan's economy was at its peak, but China-Japan relations and even China-U.S.-Japan relations were at their best.

During this period, when exporting audio-visual cultural products to countries such as the United States and Japan, as long as the works are good, the Japanese market and the American market will be particularly tolerant to mainland artists.

This is actually quite understandable. After all, at this time, the United States, Japan and other Western countries still had the impression of the mainland that the rich looked at the poor, so of course they would be particularly tolerant.

When the mainland becomes stronger and can threaten the superior status of the Western world, will they turn into an ugly face, criticizing the mainland and adding all kinds of unfounded charges.

Of course, that is all for the future. Anyway, the current domestic situation is really poor, let alone the United States, Japan, and even the per capita income is not as good as India.

Unless there are accidents, mainland China's per capita GDP surpassed India's for the first time in history, and that was in 1991.

Now in 1983, Indians, at least their wealthy people, can still despise the mainland's economy.

Yes, I can only despise the economy. If it is compared to other hard powers, such as technological strength, military strength, industrial and agricultural strength, etc., then India is far inferior to mainland China.

The reason why India's per capita GDP is still higher than that of the mainland even though its primary and secondary industries are far inferior to those of the mainland is mainly because the per capita service industry is relatively developed.

This may seem good, but in fact it is putting the cart before the horse, subverting the strengths of others, and sooner or later you will suffer losses.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Cao Zhiqiang. He is not interested in how India develops. He only cares about his own country, or how he develops himself.

At this time, the domestic pop music market is still a blue ocean.

Competition is small and profits are high. Just find someone who can cry behind bars and sell tens of millions of products. Don’t make too much money.

As long as I can set up a reliable record company early, provide more excellent works, and use Xiangjiang's developed entertainment experience to package a group of artists in the country, I can definitely sweep the inland.

He can even take the opportunity to launch his own and his artists' products abroad, and use good works to make money abroad.

That's right, if we develop a multinational music industry based on China, the dividend period will only be in the next 20 to 30 years.

Once we enter the second millennium, foreign Western forces will be less friendly to China. At that time, it is not impossible to go abroad to develop a transnational music industry, but the profits will be pitiful.

And by that time, Cao Zhiqiang himself would not dare to go abroad anyway, especially to the United States.

Because Cao Zhiqiang believes that by the year 2000, he will have become an important economic and even industrial giant in the country.

By then, he will definitely be on the U.S. blacklist.

If you still don't understand the formality by then and rashly leave the country in person, you deserve to be detained.

But before that, especially when you are not strong enough, it should be no problem to go abroad.

"It's still a matter of speed." Cao Zhiqiang sighed comfortably as he walked into the bathtub to take a bath, "Develop as early as possible, and become strong as soon as possible.

Since you are reborn once, there are system plug-ins, and you are just a rich man, how can you do it?

You have to make yourself rich and at the same time lead the country to avoid detours.

There are too many to deal with, but there is still hope if we can help the country develop weak industries in advance, such as supporting the semiconductor industry."

Indeed, although the domestic semiconductor industry at this time is not as good as Western society, it is not too far behind.

At this time, the domestic semiconductor industry is still quite strong, and it can be said that it covers the entire industry chain. This is also thanks to the Soviet Union and a group of outstanding scientists from the older generation in China.

Domestic semiconductors began to decline in the 1990s. At that time, domestic people were eager for quick success and quick gains. It was popular to buy instead of buy, and rent instead of buy. They blindly developed short-term projects, such as semiconductors, materials science, large aircraft, etc., which required long-term investment. There was no short-term investment.

Projects with huge returns have been shelved.

But in fact, if a certain industry can receive continuous financial support and continuous research and development, there is still hope to catch up with the West.

Let’s not mention anything else, let’s just talk about the semiconductor industry. It can definitely catch up with the West. After all, in this regard, the domestic industrial chain is very complete at this time, and even the technology of photolithography machines is not far behind that of foreign countries.

As for TSMC, it has not yet been established.

Of course, there is a saying that the semiconductor industry is not a matter of one or two companies, but a systematic project that requires national investment.

For example, the key to the success of TSMC and Japanese semiconductor companies is that their American father made them successful.

But, the key to this thing is the foundation. Once the foundation is laid, the rest is to continue investing in research and development and avoid detours.

Cao Zhiqiang feels that even if the system does not provide relevant black technologies in the future, he can continue to inject blood into the semiconductor industry with his own money-making methods and speed, and he should provide more directional guidance and avoid detours.

It can enable the domestic semiconductor industry to keep up with the mainstream pace of the world.

Moreover, this kind of blood transfusion will only last for a decade or so at most. After the 1990s, the semiconductor industry will be able to make money in reverse.

By then, even if the semiconductor and chip industries in foreign markets are not successful, the domestic market will be enough to make a living.

But this is all a long-term plan. In the short term, we still have to make money first, and the best and fastest way to make money is through pop music.

Yes, Cao Zhiqiang only wants to engage in music at this time, because it is the most profitable and best era to engage in music at this time.

As for making movies and TV shows, at this time it is purely about losing money and making money, not as fast as making money through music.

Think about it, it only takes one day to record a record, and then as long as it is released, if the quality is better, the sales will be one or two million each, just like playing.

Even if a tape only earns 50 cents, sales of two million are equivalent to a gross profit of one million yuan!

In 1983, one million RMB was a huge sum of money. In terms of purchasing power, it was not much different from the 100 million in later generations. It could buy a decent local state-owned enterprise factory.

If it is foreign exchange, the purchasing power is even stronger.

"Well, after we finish dealing with Simei's matter, it's time to focus on music."

"First make money by playing music, and then invest in real industries after making money, and then do whatever you want to make money."

"Slowly it snowballs, and sooner or later it will become a monopoly."

"Based on our perspective, Lenovo, Haier, etc. will have to step aside by then!"

"Either we don't do it, or if we want to do it, we have to be a big Huawei, and we definitely can't be a comprador!"

"Well, at least I can't be a comprador all the time!"

Cao Zhiqiang had just been taking a bath in the bathtub while secretly making great ambitions when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Cao Zhiqiang shouted.

"Brother Cao, it's me, Qiao Yicheng." A voice came from outside the door.

"Qiao Yicheng?"

Cao Zhiqiang frowned, took the watch beside the bathtub and looked at it, and found that it was already nine forty.

"It's so late, why is he here?"

"Forget it, you'll know if you go and listen."

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang quickly got up from the bathtub, took a towel and wiped his face and hair, then put on a big bathrobe.

"Yi Cheng, just wait a moment, I'll be here right away!"
