Who is the final champion?
This is undoubtedly a very acute question, as an insider. If you say that everything depends on strength, and if there is a story of being able to counterattack from the grassroots all the way to becoming the final champion, how inspiring that would be, this is undoubtedly nonsense.
Both record companies and TV stations have spent 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? Go to sleep, maybe your dreams will be sweeter. We are all adults, don’t talk about the dreams of young people, society is cruel and realistic.
"Under the same conditions, they won't be from our five major record companies." Yang Dongxu continued to list Haina as one of the five major record companies in the world without a red face and a heartbeat.
"Who could that be?" Jos's smile became even more mocking.
"He may be an ordinary person, or he may be promoted 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 Jos's face disappeared, and he frowned and couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him seriously.
As the initiator of the talent show, and looking at Yang Dongxu's attitude, in order to find a few newcomers for the company, he doesn't mind spending more money, putting in more effort, and suffering more losses. As long as the four record companies are willing to accompany me, that's fine. I don’t want this championship now.
It also implies that other record companies do not want this champion, which is undoubtedly sending a signal to all simple ordinary people, a fair signal.
Look, the five major record companies jointly organized a talent show that shocked the world. In the end, a poor singer with no connection background won the championship based on his personal ability. What a fair talent show.
"Since you can do better, why not do it?" Yang Dongxu shrugged.
"Whose copyright is it?"
"We are jointly owned by five companies. I spent half of the money to hold the talent show, and Yiting was kindly promoted for free throughout the process and pushed the popular songs in the competition for free.
I can contribute a large part of the money for the planning, casting process, filming, and even inviting guests. But the premise is that the control is mine. Of course, if there is anything particularly controversial during the process, we can hold a meeting to discuss it. But wherever there is no controversy, listen to me. "
"Sounds like a good suggestion." Joss took a sip of coffee.
Jos was not surprised at all that Yang Dongxu paid more. Even with the addition of Yiting Technology and a talent show that seems to be very good now, it is not enough for the four major record companies to accompany Hainer.
"If you don't have any objections, I will talk to several other record companies in the next two days. No problem, the plan will be sent to you. If there are any different opinions, we will sit down and discuss it together. "
"Okay." Joss thought for a moment and realized that this matter would indeed help promote British music, and would also be beneficial to EMI, so he nodded and agreed.
After meeting José, Yang Dongxu went to Haina 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 their interpersonal relationships. And the latter is especially important.
As with any multinational company, it is obvious that the company headquarters is full of talents, so why do they have to recruit a local person as a senior executive every time they open a branch in a country? What is important is naturally the executive's interpersonal relationships, as for ability, that is secondary.
Because as long as there are interpersonal relationships, the executive can quickly help the company branch to open up the local situation. After quickly establishing a foothold, they can talk about how to continue to expand business, how to make profits, etc. I can't even stand on my heels, and everything else is bullshit.
The mistake Haina is making now is undoubtedly that the people responsible for overseas business development are 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 he has not been able to open up the situation for more than a year.
"Maybe financing is also a good way." After reading all the information about Rehaina's Hollywood branch 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 is not only about capital, but also about relationships. If Hainer can obtain financing from an American venture capital, overseas business expansion will definitely be much easier than it is now.
Because venture capital definitely wants to make money, and the way for venture capital to make money is undoubtedly to add yeast to flour. Let the originally small piece of dough turn into a large ball, and then either change hands, steam it 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 been contacted by trustees. It is somewhat difficult to raise funds for Haina's overseas distribution. After all, in a record company like the United States, one can only be regarded as the younger brother of the younger brother.
The financing venture capital of a branch company will not be interested at all. If it were replaced by mainland Haina's headquarters financing, there would probably be a lot of venture capital to choose from. But at the head office in Mainland China, Yang Dongxu is not short of connections and money. There seems to be no need for venture capital, which is undoubtedly a bit of a pain in the ass.
Discussing with the other major record companies will undoubtedly be a matter of pie distribution, such as how many unofficial quotas the top twenty five record companies need, how to distribute the top five, or even the top ten.
It would definitely not work if all the top 20 people were from the five major record companies. This would easily derail the project. Basically, one-third of these spots will be taken by the five major record companies, and two-thirds will be reserved for newcomers who are truly talented but not famous.
This allocation is undoubtedly very suitable. Even if any scandal is reported, there will be enough shields to protect oneself. Of course, two-thirds of the newcomers with real talents who are not from the five major record companies will eventually be divided up by the five major record companies. At most, leave a few for other record companies, just like eating your own meat and giving other companies a little soup to drink.
In this way, everyone benefits, whether it is publicity or later operation, it becomes a sedan chair with everyone carrying it, and everyone enjoys it.
Of course, if this is the case, the other four major record companies will definitely not agree to let Heiner take the lead in this draft, even if Yang Dongxu almost underwrites 70% of the expenses in the draft process.
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 is successful, it will undoubtedly create another competitor for the four of them. Besides, are the four major record companies short of money?
Even if your draft plan looks very tempting, it can even cause a wave of enthusiasm. But this is not a reason for them to cultivate a competitor for themselves.
So at this time, Yang Dongxu wisely took out 40% of the shares of Yiting Music, which many venture capital companies currently use in various contact tests, threats and inducements.
Each of the four major record companies was 10% impartial, and then each of them paid a symbolic $1 million to purchase stocks. Although the four major record companies were still a little bit disgusted, they were really optimistic about the development of Yiting Technology, so I could only hold 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 setting up such a music website.
But after the meeting and discussion, they discovered that even if their overseas publicity channels were stronger than that of Yiting Technology, they still had more capital than Yiting Technology. But it is difficult to achieve such success as Yiting Technology.
The main reason for this is that Yiting Technology has collected the copyrights of songs from almost all countries, and is in the process of harvesting the online copyrights of songs at a high speed.
Currently, among all the songs and various music products in the world, almost all process network copyrights are owned by Yiting Technology. Although they can break the contract and take back the online copyright of their authorized songs, this is one of the important reasons why venture capital investors are 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. The number of songs alone cannot be compared with Yiting Technology.
Of course, if the four major record companies join forces to build a music website, they can still compete head-on with Yiting Technology. But when facing Haina, the four of them were able to 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 Hainer are competitors, they are also competitors with each other. And judging from the current situation, the other three record companies are much bigger threats than Hainer. How can they work closely together?
So when Yang Dongxu generously gave them 40% of Yiting Technology's equity, the market value was only valued at US$10 million. This allowed them to pretend to be dissatisfied for a little bit, and then they happily accepted the gift.
After all, this is a sure-profit deal, given the current development momentum of Yiting Technology. If the concept is further hyped, it will directly hurt the market value. The market value has reached 100 million US dollars, and there is still the possibility of continued appreciation.
Of course, cutting off such a large piece of flesh is not allowed except for the jointly organized talent show. It’s not that Yang Dongxu doesn’t have other requirements. For example, he wants to get a big share of the proceeds from this show.
Moreover, Yiting Technology is currently under constraints due to its human resources, and the four major record companies have an obligation to help him solve it. On the premise that it can help Yiting Technology quickly appreciate in value, they will naturally not refuse this small trouble.
In this way, the five major record companies joined forces, and Yang Dongxu contributed money and efforts. With the four major record companies allocating resources to jointly promote the show, the "Happy Boys" talent show quickly attracted the attention of people across the United States.
