Chapter 154(1/2)
152. Successfully bought Zou Jielun
Cao Yang had his own considerations when buying Alpha.
First, buying Alpha is equivalent to buying Zou Jielun. Zou Jielun will bring high value in the future, his record sales and concert income...
These are all company interests that are visible to the naked eye.
Second, in the long run, the future fan economy:
As long as Zou Jielun is here, this golden sign will continue to attract fans. You should know that across the country, Zou Jielun has the largest number of fans among singers, and is not inferior to future Lu Han and Kun'er...
It is precisely because the scale of fan circles is gradually increasing that many benefits have been born in this area, and the term "fan economy" is also present.
Originally, before the idol group rose, domestic games did not need to hire any spokespersons. The quality of the game itself and the quality of the product determined the future results of the game online.
But since the scale of fan circles has expanded, the benefits brought by traffic stars to various products have become visible to the naked eye:
For example, Final Fantasy Zero Style is looking for Lu Han to endorse, Gengwan Blue Moon to endorse Zha Zhahui, Fantasy Westward Journey to endorse Zou Jielun…
Because their fans can bring high returns to the game, at least it is much higher than the endorsement fee, it later formed a strange trend in which celebrities must endorse the product when it is released.
Now Cao Yang is just making arrangements in advance. If Alfa is not taken down this time and if he wants to invite Zou Jielun to endorse him in the future, the price may be much more than the one who acquires Alfa now.
Third, Zou Jielun is an artist under his own, so the copyright of all the songs he created is actually in Bomi's hands. In the future, just by eating this part, you can gain a lot of benefits, not to mention that the game itself is closely related to music.
Fourth, when Bomi acquired Alpha, Bomi was not just a game development company. Owning a record company is equivalent to stepping into the entertainment industry with one foot and entering music, film, television, variety shows in the future... are actually very convenient.
Cao Yang's acquisition of Alpha is like he said. He does not want to manage specific affairs at all, nor should he manage specific affairs, because laymen lead experts will interfere with their development.
The most important thing is that this is a cultivation game, and we must cultivate the future king as soon as possible.
...
After hearing Cao Yang's words, it was false to say that it was not moved.
But……
The next second, everyone's faces became dim.
"It's impossible, Mr. Cao, don't joke." Liu Genghong smiled bitterly.
"That's right, how could you, a game company, want to buy a record company? It's impossible to sell game original soundtracks, right?"
"And Brother Xian won't consider you. From a professional perspective, Bomi Games is not considered in the music field at all. At least Holedi is still considered this circle."
"It's really true, Mr. Cao, I advise you not to try it. It's useless, and you really don't need a record company."
...
Everyone was talking and pessimistic about this matter.
"So in comparison," Cao Yang asked, "Do you want to choose Ledi more?"
"No..." Zou Jielun was amused and was choked while drinking water. "Mr. Cao, this is not a question of who to choose, but we have no choice at all.
Mr. Cao, I know you are kind-hearted, but Brother Xian shouldn't agree."
"What if he agrees?" Cao Yang asked with a smile.
Zou Jielun was silent for a moment. He looked at Cao Yang's eyes silently without saying a word.
"If Brother Xian agrees, of course I hope to follow Mr. Cao."
"Okay," Cao Yang laughed, "With your words, basketball is not in vain today."
Cao Yang stood up and shook his head, "It's really great to play basketball with you."
...
After Cao Yang left, everyone started discussing it all over the basketball court.
"Hey, do you think what Mr. Cao said today is true or false?" Wantou asked excitedly.
He was actually quite excited.
"Is it fake?" Xiaozhu raised his hand and suffocated, "It's so frightening, how is that possible? Think about it, if you were Mr. Cao, would you want to buy a company like Alpha that is not profitable?"
"Hey, be careful, I'll beat you up." Yuhao stretched out his hand and strangled the pig's neck from behind.
The two started fighting immediately.
The so-called strong man locks men.
The bullet raised his head and thought about it carefully, "Yes, no record company like Alpha doesn't want it."
"Yes, yes, are you really confident?" Xiaozhu said next to him.
"You, what do you think?" Zou Jielun poked Liu Genghong next to him.
"Me?" Liu Genghong shook his head, "I think Mr. Cao may really want to buy it, but Brother Xian may not be able to sell it. Mostly, it is still good LeDi. After all, it will be better to operate a KTV and release records."
"Isn't it?" Zou Jielun frowned.
This should be the case?
...
In fact, before waiting for 3 days, Brother Xian made an appointment with Cao Yang to meet him on the morning of the third day.
This time the invitation was quite formal, not as casual as before when I was having a meal.
After meeting, Brother Xian said directly, "If Mr. Cao really wants to buy an alpha, we are willing to sell it here, but we need to talk about the relevant details in detail."
Cao Yang smiled slightly, "Of course."
During the whole day, Cao Yang sat in Brother Xian's office and had a very detailed discussion on how Bomi acquired Alpha.
Brother Xian has several issues to be concerned about:
First, the money, because Holedi offers NT$300 million, then Bomi will definitely not be lower than that, because Bomi itself is not from the music industry. In terms of sales, Brother Xian will believe in Holedi more, so naturally Bomi needs to offer a higher price.
Second, employees, after acquiring Alpha, many people were promoted by Brother Xian. It is a lie to say that no feelings is a lie. Brother Xian is not a cold-blooded animal. If they sell them and Bomi will open the person he doesn't want the next day, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction.
Third, regarding future operations, what is the guarantee for employees’ release of films, and are there any corresponding plans?
Brother Xian also wants to seek better welfare for the company's employees.
This meeting lasted for a long time, from morning to evening.
It is actually easy to say about money. As long as the price is not too excessive, Cao Yang can still agree. Bomi is not short of money now.
Article 3: In fact, Cao Yang has already had his own considerations. Since he wants to buy Alpha, he must think about launching the artists below to make them popular the better. Therefore, in terms of operation, Cao Yang is completely willing to invest.
As for the second point, the employee’s words, to be honest, because we can already see the future, there are actually not many that are truly valuable to Cao Yang.
He could only promise to stay some, while keeping some of the others would only drag down the company.
Although doing this is actually unconventional, Cao Yang is a businessman after all, and the businessman himself still has to consider his interests.
Cao Yang does not have a deep relationship with these employees, and there is not much psychological burden when starting people. If you don’t take advantage of this wave of acquisitions of singers who are not wanting to terminate the contract, then you will have to hold back if you keep them in the future.
Cao Yang didn't want this, so he had been talking to Brother Xian for a long time.
"If all the employees can't stay," said Brother Xian, "then I have to consider other families."
The other home is Holedi.
"It's impossible to stay all of them," Cao Yang frowned, "Brother Xian, you said that the only one who can make money in the entire Alpha is Zou Jielun. I will keep at most two or three singers that I think are valuable. If you transfer it to someone else, if the singer loses money, he will be terminated."
According to Cao Yang's idea, out of his understanding of Zou Jielun, he would at most keep his good brothers, and leave Wen Lan and Huang Xiaohu behind.
The company needs to be streamlined, and there are more artists to buy in the future. He already knows which ones will become popular and which ones will not become popular. There is no need to do something thankless, right?
The two of them rallied for a long time, and in the end, both sides gave in. Brother Xian agreed that he would find a next home for those employees who were about to be dismissed. Cao Yang was willing to use more funds to acquire Alpha.
At this time, Brother Xian needs money even more.
Cao Yang needs employees he thinks are more valuable.
It was not until late at night that the negotiation came to an end.
The two sides reached an intention, and Cao Yang finally agreed to acquire Alpha for NT$330 million.
It's almost 76.6 million soft sister coins.
For the next event, Cao Yang will ask his lawyer team to formulate relevant merger and acquisition agreements, and the time is expected to be 3 days later.
...
This incident lasted almost for more than a week, and finally the two parties signed a merger and acquisition agreement.
Bomi acquired Alpha Records for NT$330 million and acquired all its shares.
The rest is to follow the process.
Cao Yang entrusted Junming Law Firm to help with the handling, and flew back to the imperial capital by himself.
On the way, the young secretary asked him in confusion, "Boss, what are you interested in this company? Why do you have to buy it so deliberately?"
Sometimes I really don’t understand what the boss is thinking.
Cao Yang is so a little more like a man, and even a few cows can't pull them back.
The last time I bought Penguin...
The only time I made a change in the middle was because DMM refused to cooperate with them.
"Hey, you've been following me for so long," Cao Yang pressed her face with both hands and turned her toward the machine window. "Can't you look longer?"
To be continued...
