The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Who is the final champion?

This is undoubtedly a very acute question, as an insider. If you say that everything depends on strength, if there is a story about being able to counterattack from the grassroots all the way to the final champion, how inspirational it is, this is undoubtedly nonsense.

Whether it is a record company or a TV station, it took so much manpower, material and financial resources to build such a big platform. Just to give talented ordinary people a stage to show themselves for free? Wash and sleep, maybe the dream can be sweeter. Everyone is an adult, don't talk about the dreams of those young people, society is cruel and realistic.

"Under the same conditions, they will not be from our five major record companies." Yang Dongxu continued to include Haina as one of the world's five major record companies without blushing.

"Who could it be?" Joss smiled even more mockingly.

"He may be an ordinary person, or he may be introduced by other music companies. In short, he will not be from the five major record companies. Of course, whether he will be signed by one of our record companies in the future is not something that needs to be discussed now. Problem."

"You seem to want more." The mocking smile on Joss's face disappeared, and he couldn't help frowning and looked at the young man in front of him seriously.

As the initiator of the talent show, and looking at Yang Dongxu's posture, in order to get a few newcomers for the company, he doesn't mind spending more money, working harder, and suffering more. As long as their four record companies are willing to run with them. Don't want this champion now.

And it also hinted that other record companies don't want this champion, which is undoubtedly sending a signal, a fair signal, to all simple ordinary people.

You see, the five major record companies jointly organized a world-renowned talent show, and in the end it turned out that a poor singer with no relationship background won the championship by virtue of his personal strength. What a fair talent show this is.

"Since you can do better, why not do it?" Yang Dongxu shrugged.

"Whose copyright is it?"

"The five of us are jointly owned. It costs me half of the money to hold the talent show, and it is easy to listen and polite, and the whole process is free of charge, and the popular songs in the competition are released for free.

I can pay a large part of the money for the planning, audition process, shooting, and even inviting guests. But the premise is that the dominance is mine. Of course, if there is something particularly controversial in the process, we can hold a meeting to discuss it. But listen to me where there is no dispute. "

"Sounds like a good suggestion." Joss took a sip of his coffee.

Joss was not surprised that Yang Dongxu paid more money. Even with the addition of Yiting Technology and a talent show that sounds good now, it is not enough for the four major record companies to accompany Heiner.

"If you have no objections here, I will discuss with several other record companies in the next two days. No problem, the plan will be sent to you. If there are any disagreements, we will sit down and discuss together. "

"Yes." Joss thought for a while, this matter is indeed helpful to the promotion of local music in the UK, and it is also beneficial to EMI, so he nodded and agreed.

After meeting Joss, Yang Dongxu went to Heiner, and met the people in Hollywood. At the same time, consider whether to change Hainer's overseas coach.

The biggest reason for acclimatization is that foreigners cannot understand the needs of local people and interpersonal relationships. And the latter is especially important.

In all multinational corporations, there are plenty of talents in the headquarters of the company, why every time they open a branch in a country, they have to recruit a local as an executive? The most important thing is naturally the interpersonal relationship of this executive, as for the ability, that is secondary.

Because as long as there is a human relationship, the executive can quickly help the company's branch to open up the situation locally, and after quickly gaining a foothold, they can talk about how to continue to expand the business, how to make profits, and so on. I can't even stand on my heels, and everything else is bullshit.

The mistake Haina is making now is undoubtedly that the person in charge of overseas business development is dispatched from China. Although he was recruited from Hong Kong and has a certain understanding of the international market, he is not an American after all. He does not have strong interpersonal relationships in the United States, so it has been more than a year and he has not been able to open the situation.

"Perhaps financing is also a good way." After reading all the materials of Hainer's Hollywood branch in his hand and talking with the company's senior management, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but have such an idea in his mind.

For a company expanding overseas, financing involves not only funds, but also relationships. If Haina can get financing from an American venture capital, then overseas business expansion will definitely be much easier than it is now.

Because VCs definitely want to make money, and the way VCs make money is undoubtedly by adding yeast to flour. Let the original small piece of dough become a large ball, and then either change hands, or steamed into steamed buns or bread to make profits.

But for now, it is easy for Yiting Technology to raise funds, and several venture capital companies have already contacted them. It is difficult for Haina to raise funds for overseas distribution. After all, a record company like the United States can only be regarded as the younger brother of the younger brother.

A branch company's financing venture capital will not be interested at all. If it is replaced by the mainland Haina headquarters for financing, it is estimated that there will be a lot of venture capital investors to choose at will. But in the head office in mainland China, Yang Dongxu does not lack connections and money. It seems that there is no need for venture capital, which is undoubtedly a bit painful.

Discussing with other major record companies is undoubtedly a matter of cake allocation, such as how many default quotas the top twenty five record companies need to get, how to allocate the top five, or even the top ten.

It is definitely not possible to set the top 20 as the people of the five major record companies, because it is easy to get derailed. Basically, the top five record companies will take one-third of these places, and two-thirds will be reserved for those newcomers who are really talented but not famous.

This allocation is undoubtedly very suitable, even if some scandal is reported, there are enough shields to protect him. Of course, two-thirds of the real materials are newcomers who are not from the five major record companies, and they will definitely be divided up by the five major record companies in the end. Leave a few at most for other record companies, treat it as eating meat for yourself and give other companies some soup to drink.

In this way, everyone is beneficial, whether it is publicity or later operations, it becomes a sedan chair carried by everyone, and everyone enjoys it.

Of course, if this is the case, the other four major record companies will definitely not agree to let Heiner lead the draft, even if Yang Dongxu almost contracted 70% of the cost of the draft.

After all, anyone who is not a fool can see that this is Yang Dongxu's attempt to give Haina a shot in the arm after his overseas expansion failed. If the draft office is successful, this will undoubtedly cultivate another competitor for the four of them. Besides, are the four major record companies the masters who are short of money?

Even if your draft plan looks very attractive, it can even cause a wave of enthusiasm. But this is not the reason why they have cultivated a competitor for themselves.

So at this time, Yang Dongxu was very sensible and took out 40% of the shares of Yiting Music, which are currently used by many venture capital companies for various contacts and temptations.

One of the four major record companies is 10% impartial, and each of them pays a symbolic $1 million to buy stocks. Although the four major record companies are still a bit tired of it, they are really optimistic about the development of Yiting Technology, so I could only hold back the tiredness in my heart and agreed to this matter.

In fact, Yiting Technology has gradually become popular, especially after becoming the well-deserved leader of music websites. The four major record companies have all thought about building such a music website by themselves.

But after meeting and discussing, they found that even if their overseas publicity channels are stronger than Yiting Technology, they have more capital than Yiting Technology. But it is difficult to achieve the success of Yiting Technology.

The main reason for this is that Yiting Technology has collected the copyrights of songs from almost all countries, and is still in the process of harvesting the copyrights of songs on the Internet at a high speed.

At present, among all the songs and various music products in the world, almost all the process network copyrights have been acquired by Yiting Technology. Although they can break the contract and take back the online copyright of the songs they authorized, this is also one of the important reasons why the venture capital is very optimistic about Yiting Technology and directly valued this new website at US$3,000.

And they want to set up their own music website, not to mention whether they can win the lawsuit after breaking the contract. In terms of the number of songs alone, there is no way to compare with Yiting Technology.

Of course, if the four major record companies join forces to build a music website, they can still have a head-to-head with Yiting Technology. But when facing Haina, the four of them can blackmail Yang Dongxu with a tacit understanding.

This does not mean that they can work closely together to create a new music website. You must know that while they and Heiner are competitors, they are also competitors with each other. And judging from the current situation, the other three record companies are much more threatening than Heiner, so how can they cooperate closely?

So when Yang Dongxu generously took out 40% of the equity of Yiting Technology to share with them, and the market value was only estimated at 10 million US dollars. This made them pretend to be dissatisfied a little bit, and then happily accepted the gift.

After all, this is a profitable business, with the current development momentum of Yiting Technology. If the concept is further heated up, it will directly hurt the market value of 100 million U.S. dollars, and there is still the possibility of continued appreciation.

Of course, such a large piece of meat was cut off, except for the joint talent show. It's not that Yang Dongxu doesn't have other requirements, for example, he wants to take the bulk of the show's revenue.

And at present, the four major record companies are obliged to help Yiting Technology to solve the problem because of the restraint of human resources. Under the premise that it can help Yiting Technology to appreciate quickly, they will naturally not refuse this little trouble.

In this way, when the five major record companies joined forces, Yang Dongxu contributed money and efforts. The "Happy Boys" talent show quickly attracted the attention of people all over the United States under the resources of the four major record companies to jointly promote and build momentum.
