New Era Audio and Video Company.

In the general manager's office, Li Qiang looked at the newspaper of the "Sing Tao Daily" in his hand. This was brought back by him by someone from Hong Kong, and there was news about the cooperation between Times Records and Zhang Guorong.

Li Qiang threw the newspaper on his hand on the table and looked up at the two managers of the production and distribution departments of the two companies sitting opposite: "I have said everything I should say. What do you think? Should you choose to cooperate with this Times Record?"

"Manager Li, we have never heard of this era record before, and the cooperation conditions are too harsh."

Manager Tian of the distribution department said: "According to the conditions they proposed, the first release of 100,000 albums is at least one yuan, and 100,000 yuan is 100,000 yuan. Even if we don't make a profit from this, the cost is still too high. In addition, we have to be responsible for publicity and distribution. No matter how we look at this transaction, it is not very cost-effective."

"What do you think?" Li Qiang nodded, without expressing his opinion, but looked at the production department manager, wanting to hear his opinion.

Manager Niu of the production department thought about it for a while and hesitated: "In terms of production costs, I can suppress it. If I don't aim for profit, I can save 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. In addition, the other party also invested 50,000 yuan, so we didn't spend much money."

"But the cost of promotion and distribution is high." Manager Tian shook his head and said, "A album with no fame in the album, if you want to sell it, publicity is essential," said Tian.

Li Qiang asked, "How much do you estimate it will cost?"

Manager Tian calculated, "If we follow our existing partners, the cost of publicity and distribution is at least 200,000 yuan, and posters, radio stations, record stores, etc. must be available in places such as places."

"In other words, what is placed before us is the production cost and the issuance cost?"

"Yes." The two of them spoke in unison.

Li Qiang thought for a while and said, "If we reduce the number of tapes we make and the distribution area is only in Guangzhou, do you think there is a possibility of cooperation?"

"If this is the case, you can try it."

The two managers looked at each other and calculated each other that the production cost was reduced. The distribution area was also in the local area of ​​Guangzhou. There was no need to give concessions to other partners. Even if the album was not sold well, there was still profit.

Hearing this, Li Qiang opened the drawer and took out a piece of paper from it. This was the hotel phone number Li Yange had given him before. After thinking about it, he picked up the phone on the table and called.

...

...

The next afternoon.

There were not many customers in the restaurant of White Swan Hotel at this time, and most of the scattered tables were businessmen.

"Manager Li, the issuance area cannot be just in Guangzhou."

After listening to Li Qiang's words, Li Yange shook his head and said, "The Baojia Street Band is very famous in Beijing, and there are many rock lovers in the capital. This time it is the first album of rock music, so it can't be left out of the way."

"Beijing?"

Li Qiang frowned and said, "Mr. Li, it's not invisible to me. There are no partners in the new era audio-visual in Beijing. Most of our partners are in the southern region, and we have not yet involved in the northern region."

No? Li Yange was stunned. He remembered that he could buy Yang Yuying's records in Beijing in his previous life, and Yang Yuying was a popular singer in the new era of audio-visual video. It is logical that their company is capable.

But Li Yange thought about it again and said that it was right. It was only 1987 and Yang Yuying became famous in the 1990s. It is normal for the new era to be only in the southern region.

Thinking of this, Li Yange had a headache. Before, he only thought about the record companies he could cooperate with, but he forgot that in terms of channels, except for Chinese record companies, almost most of the record companies are more comfortable, or like New Era Audio and Video, they only have partners in the southern region.

"Then like this, Manager Li. You can only release it in Guangzhou for the time being, but the 100,000 albums remain unchanged, half of each person, and the distribution in Beijing will be left to our company for the responsibility."

Baojiajie Band finally gained some popularity in Beijing, and there are many more fans who like rock and roll there than Guangzhou for the time being. Therefore, Li Yange can't give up in the market in Beijing.

Li Qiang thought for a while and thought this would be fine. He nodded and agreed: "Yes, the issuance in Beijing will be left to your company for the responsibility."

"By the way, Manager Li, the LOGO of our Times Records must be printed on the covers of those 50,000 tapes."

"Leaked dog?"

“It’s the company’s logo.”

Li Yange took out a piece of colored printing paper brought back from Hong Kong from the briefcase. It was written in regular script on it. There was an S-shaped musical symbol in the lower right corner.

Li Qiang took it and saw that nothing unexpected happened. Moreover, the distribution in Beijing was handed over to Times Records. At most, they were considered OEM, so they agreed and said, "No problem, I will tell the factory."

"Manager Li, I wish us a happy cooperation and a record sales." Li Yange stood up and stretched out his hand.

Li Qiang smiled and said, "Happy cooperation."

Although there are still some details on the contract that have not been agreed upon, both parties have reached their wishes and it will not take long for the rest to be negotiated.

...

...

In the room.

After hearing Li Yange's announcement that the album was released, Xue Ke was overjoyed and said, "Is it really agreed?"

"Can I still lie to you about this?" Li Yange rolled his eyes and ignored the boy. He walked to the table and began to think about how to promote the album after returning to Beijing.

"No, no, that's not what I mean, I'm just a little excited!"

Xue Ke was lingering back and forth excitedly. After a while, he shouted excitedly: "Haha, I'm going to release an album and become a real singer!"

"Okay, don't be excited, pack your luggage quickly. We will take the train back to Beijing tomorrow. It's really okay to stay in a hotel without any money."

"Then why don't we leave today?"

When Xue Ke remembered the hotel room fee, he felt a little distressed. After staying for three days, he spent more than 600 yuan. In addition, the two of them had eaten and drunk, and seven or eight hundred yuan was gone.

"There are still trains now."

Li Yange pointed to the gradually dim sky outside. It was almost time, so there were train tickets to buy, and I might not be able to buy a train directly to Beijing tomorrow.

"Yes, tomorrow is tomorrow, anyway, the room fee is already paid today."

When Xue Ke saw that the sky outside was already setting, it was already sunset. Although there was still a little afterglow, he thought it would be completely dark in no time.

Li Yange suddenly said: "By the way Xue Ke, after returning to Beijing this time, you and Dou Dawei and the others may need to run more."

Xue Ke didn't understand: "What does it mean?"

"I agreed with Manager Li of New Era Audio and Video to arrange 50,000 albums to be shipped to Beijing. Whether the albums can be sold well by the time it depends on whether you work hard enough to go to the dance hall to sell them."

"Fifty thousand?" Xue Ke's eyes bulged. How long will it take for them to sell to the dance hall alone?

Li Yange had thought about it. After returning to Beijing this time, in addition to contacting record stores and radio stations, Xue Ke and the others had to take tapes to major dance halls to sell.
