There were no accidents for several days. While Yang Dongxu continued to be cautious, he gradually focused on his work.
The signing of the first batch of star singers of Haina Records was about to begin, but a problem arose when negotiating the contract, which put Yang Dongxu in a bit of a dilemma.
The first batch of people who signed the contract were all famous stars, and a few of them were still big stars. Even in later generations, they would be kings and movie kings, the kind of people who are very popular.
Such celebrities all have one thing in common: busy.
They are the guarantee of the box office and the protagonists in TV dramas. They are so weak in accepting roles that they almost vomit during filming. They have no time to come to Yanjing and stay for a week or even a month to record songs.
So when negotiating a contract, it’s easy to talk about the price. These celebrities are not short of money, and Heiner Records is also very wealthy. The two parties will not haggle over this aspect. But whether to record songs in Yanjing or Hong Kong, this originally inconspicuous question became the key to whether the contract can be successfully signed.
"It's okay to go to Hong Kong occasionally, but if all these people are signed, I will be tied directly to the recording studio. Do you think I have that time?" Yang Dongxu frowned slightly and looked at Fu Decai.
"Otherwise, Mr. Yang can go to school in Hong Kong. I will help you with the procedures. Hurricane Construction's main investment targets are now in the south. You can have a better job in Hong Kong." Fu Decai repeated the old tune and brought Yang Dongxu to high school. The question of where to study came up. Although he has been enrolled in school for a few months now, he can still transfer to another school.
"I don't have that plan for the time being." Yang Dongxu pondered and shook his head.
Not to mention that he had never thought about going to Hong Kong to study in high school, and even if he had thought about it, he wouldn't be able to leave. The major investments in Hurricane Construction have indeed gone south, with Hainan accounting for 90% of Yang Dongxu's net worth.
But now his focus is still on the big brother in the north, as he and Ivan are the middlemen. The country or the military secretly contacted some big bosses in the north.
Yang Dongxu obviously can't interfere in the transaction here, but he and Ivan have their own cooperation. Let's not talk about some sensitive technologies. Some technologies that can be obtained cannot be obtained from other places.
The more important thing is those talents, especially computer talents. Not only are these talents that the country is currently hungry for, Yang Dongxu is also eager for talents.
And these talents are getting more and more powerful. Not to mention that the Soviet Union is now so advanced in aerospace, and its precision electronic software programming technology has left behind a few Chinese streets who are still like novices.
Even in the later years when the United States dominated and Microsoft was rampant, although the Russian economy was depressed, many weapons and equipment were still relying on the Soviet Union's capital.
But their computer technology is still top-notch, especially in terms of software. Even in the United States, where many people think it is the most powerful, they can only say that their hardware is number one in the world, but they dare not say that their software is number one.
So these are all great talents, and every one of them is a treasure. If we can find some powerful figures, don't look at the fact that Microsoft has already shown signs of being the best, just like it has become a Big Mac, with the Soviet Union There are computer talents, and there is such a huge Chinese market behind it. Yang Dongxu has a chance of winning if he wants to try it.
Therefore, investment in the south is important, but it is not the most important. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Yang Dongxu had no plans to leave Yanjing and go south. He might even have the opportunity to go to Harbin or even go to Heihe to stay ready.
"Then what should we do about this matter? Those are all big stars." Fu Decai said helplessly.
Yes, they are all big stars, that's the point. They were not the newcomers trained by Haina Records. Even after they became famous, few of them dared to express their anger because they had been in awe of Yang Dongxu, his own boss, for a long time.
But these Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are different. They are already stars themselves. If they want to be singers, they just want to broaden their own paths. They don’t just rely on this to make a living. What’s more important is that although Haina is great and even has his own film and television department, no For songs alone, we can also collaborate in film and television in the future, but he is not the only choice.
For example, Feishi, Warner, and Feiyang, which has just emerged, and some other Hong Kong and Taiwan record companies, their strength cannot be underestimated, and they have several foundations that cannot be compared to a record company like Heiner that has just emerged a few years ago. .
"I will write the songs. Didn't the company recruit some good producers some time ago? There happens to be a recording studio in Hong Kong, so let them go to Hong Kong."
"Isn't this a bit risky?" Fu Decai was a little worried.
You must know that although those celebrities do not rely on this to make a living, they do rely on this industry to become famous. So although Yang Dongxu wrote the song, if he didn't record it himself, he would suddenly lose some confidence.
"The world will go on without anyone else. I'm not as important as you think. Besides, you spent a lot of money to poach these producers. You can't have no confidence in them, right? Besides, after the recording, I will review it.”
"Okay then." Fu Decai nodded.
Although Yang Dongxu wrote the songs himself and had the double insurance of final review. But it still didn't feel as secure as having Yang Dongxu do it himself, but Fude knew that this was already the best way at the moment.
Those stars cannot rely solely on the company's arrangements like Haina Records, but similarly, Yang Dongxu cannot be controlled by those stars. Even though he may seem kind on the surface, he is more proud in his heart. So having this kind of method is already very good. It's just... I don't know if those celebrities will have any objections...
There must be some opinions. They chose Haina because they liked Xiaoxu's reputation as a creator and producer, so they made such a concession on the contract price.
Although they knew that Haina was not easy to mess with and Xiaoxu was also a gold medal producer, this did not mean that they supported Haina Records' compromise approach.
Therefore, after receiving the news, several celebrities refused on the spot. Later, some people switched to other record companies one after another. Among them, there were stars who wanted to come to the mainland for development, and several of them signed contracts with Feiyang. Feiyang, which was originally the weakest among all the record companies, ended up missing out in this competition for stars, and was all smiles for a while.
"Where are you going, young master?" Du Suo asked after coming out of the bar.
After getting the news from Fu Decai, Du Suo asked Du Fei to go to the Soviet Union to manage the training of new recruits of the Sharp Blade Security Company. He returned to Yanjing to take charge personally, and the number of bodyguards around him also increased from the usual only One person followed, which turned into at least two people, and sometimes there was even someone secretly protecting him.
At this time, Du Suo helped Yang Dongxu open the car door, his eyes patrolling around like a falcon. Sitting in the driving seat was a young man in his twenties or seventeen years old. This was from the same place as Du Suo, and he was accepted in the Soviet Union at the same time. Bodyguards who have undergone modern military training.
"Let's go to Guomao and have a look." Yang Dongxu said and got into the car.
Although under his own insistence, Du Suo and others no longer called him Young Master when outsiders were around, but used other titles instead. But when no one is around, their names remain the same.
After buying the third floor of Guomao, Yang Dongxu has not come here to take a look. The twenty-eighth floor, which is currently being renovated, will be put into use in a while. So Yang Dongxu is going to go there today to identify the door. Don’t let it open by then. As a boss, he doesn’t even know where the company’s door faces.
Although the roads in Yanjing cannot be said to be congested now, the number of cars has increased a lot. The city, which was originally full of ancient charm, is now becoming more and more modern.
The central office building of the first phase of China World Trade Center is located on the edge of Yanjing Third Ring Road, and belongs to Chaoyang District, which is famous throughout the country. This district is only famous throughout the country, naturally because of the people in Chaoyang District who can all be Detective Conan.
Although Yanjing is prosperous now, it is still a long way from being an international metropolis. Although the area around the Third Ring Road is not considered a suburb, it is not very prosperous either. appeared, but Yanjing’s population growth was still normal.
From 8.71 million in 1978 to 10.75 million this year, an increase of 3.04 million in 2011. The average annual population growth of 200,000 to 300,000 is completely within the tolerance of the heart of the motherland.
Of course, this prosperity is compared to the crowded metropolises of later generations. Speaking of today, even on the edge of the Third Ring Road, it is already considered prosperous.
bump!
When they arrived and found a parking space, Yang Dongxu, who was about to get off the car, felt the car move forward.
The driver subconsciously stepped on the brakes to the bottom, causing the car rushing forward to stop suddenly. Yang Dongxu's head almost hit the back of the seat in front of him.
Du Suo put his hands on his waist in an instant, and while the car was still moving forward, he pushed the door open and jumped out.
This scene happened among the sparks of calcium carbide. The driver who pressed the brakes subconsciously wanted to ignite the car. When in danger, he must first ensure Yang Dongxu's safety before talking about anything else. This was what Du Suo had always ordered him to do.
However, the driver did not immediately start the car and drive away to ensure safety, because the impact behind him was gone. Du Suo, who pushed the door to get out of the car at the same time, had already rushed forward to the side of the car behind him, but when he saw the situation in the car, he paused with his hand on his waist.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. My camera rang just now. I didn't see what was happening in front of me, so I stepped on the accelerator too much. It's my responsibility and I will fully compensate you. Are you okay?"
The man in the car behind him jumped when he saw the sudden appearance of Du Suo. At the same time, he also woke up from the crash just now. He apologized and opened the door and walked out.
The middle-aged man looked like he was in his forties, with a bit of baldness and a big belly, and he looked like a successful man. However, this look made people feel less threatening, and Du Suo couldn't help but relax a little.
But the next moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
