Rolling Stone Records, full name is "Rolling Stone International Music Co., Ltd.". This Baodao Records Company, founded in 1980, has successfully developed from a small record company to the largest independent record company in Asia for more than 30 years.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Rolling Stone Records was the most prosperous period. At that time, Rolling Stone had already owned many popular singers such as Zhao Zhuan, Wubai, Zhang Zhenyue, Zhang Haozhe, Zhou Huajian, Chen Shuhua, Lin Yilian, Xin Xiaoqi, Su Hui, etc. As the business in Baodao area flourished, Rolling Stone Records also took the opportunity to expand its territory and established Rolling Stone Xiangjiang Records Company in 1993. At that time, big names in the entertainment industry such as Chen Long, Liang Jiahui, and Zhang Jiarong signed contracts with Rolling Stone to launch their own albums.

It is such a company that can be called a giant in Asia, but like many traditional companies, it has not resisted the coming of the Internet tide and the rules of the music circle from prosperity to decline. Although Rolling Stone still has singers like Chen Sheng, Zhou Huajian, Zhang Aijia, Qi Yu, Li Guangsheng, Chen Shuhua and other singers who are enough to establish Rolling Stone's reputation and image, it is an indisputable fact that its business has been declining year by year.

In the mainland, the market for Rolling Stone Records is even more sluggish. In the golden decade of the last century, the era when a record was released millions of copies has been gone forever. Now, Rolling Stone has invited several old stars to hold concerts throughout the year, and has released some CDs under the banner of "classics" and "nostalgia" and the CD support of new bottles of old wines, there are no more amazing singers and musicians.

Chang Zhengqing, a native of Yanjing, graduated from the composition department of Juilliard Music School in the United States, majoring in saxophone and trumpet.

At the age of 47 this year, he has long lost his enthusiasm and impulse for music in his youth. His twenty-year career has successfully transformed him from a pure musician to a smooth businessman.

The general manager of Rolling Stone Greater China, with an annual salary of one million. For a middle-aged man in his forties, Chang Zhengqing can be said to have a successful career and a glorious glory.

However, he has lived a little troubles lately.

The company's performance has been declining year by year. As well as his general manager, he is often criticized by some of the headquarters. Just a few days ago, an executive at the Baodao headquarters called to inquire about the company's recent performance. Although there was no clear criticism in his words, he could hear that he was quite dissatisfied.

It is no wonder. With the great weakness of the global music market, almost all record companies are adjusting their strategies and looking for new markets. The rolling stones that have never paid attention to the mainland market in the past have been increasingly focused on this vast market in recent years.

Especially in recent years, some young musicians have stood out through talent shows such as "Super Girl", "The Voice of China", and "I Am a Singer". The attention of such programs among the public has increased year by year, allowing these record companies to see a new development path. Unfortunately, in this competition, large companies such as Rolling Stones and EDA were a little slow, and instead gave the market and opportunities to those emerging small entertainment companies. Because of this, the headquarters has made a slight remark about Chang Zhengqing, and some voices have even heard that Chang Zhengqing is no longer suitable for this position.

This made Chang Zhengqing feel the crisis, so he is also trying hard to find a breakthrough in his career these days, wanting to achieve some results and make the old men at the headquarters shut up!

He is only forty-seven years old now and does not want his career to end early. Although he can enjoy a decent life even if he retires now, he is young and strong, but he does not want to live such a life early. At the headquarters of Yanjing, he responded to it and no one could match his power. This feeling like an emperor made him reluctant to leave this position.

Fortunately, there is no way out. Just when Chang Zhengqing was eager to find a breakthrough to prove his value, "Tranquility" appeared.

As soon as this photo was released, it attracted too much attention and controversy. Its sales have been rising along with the controversy. In just one week, it broke through the million mark!

When I saw this data, Chang Zhengqing, like many record company bosses, fell out of his glasses!

It broke through one million in a week. Even in the 1990s, the "golden decade" of the record industry, such sales were rare. Unless it was the concert album of those superstars, it was possible to achieve such results!

Chang Zhengqing couldn't sit still.

According to the report provided by professional analysts of the company, based on the current sales momentum of the album, the upward trend will continue in the next few weeks. The final sales volume is not certain, but it is conservatively estimated that it will not be less than three million copies!

This number once again stimulated Chang Zhengqing. He felt that he could not wait like this anymore.

Chang Zhengqing has already seen the background information of Huayin Entertainment. The boss Chu Yang is an ordinary person who has made friends with several second-generation officials. Although he has outstanding talents in musical instruments, he is pitifully small in terms of social energy.

Of course, those yamen should not be underestimated, but Chang Zhengqing is a pure businessman and the head of Greater China, the largest record company in Asia. As long as it is not a struggle in the officialdom and purely uses commercial means, he is not afraid of this small Huayin Entertainment.

Chang Zhengqing also knew very well about the style and bottom line of the yamen. As long as he did not take the initiative to play conspiracy with them, these people would also play according to the rules. In the mainland recording industry, who would Chang Zhengqing be afraid of?

Chang Zhengqing is optimistic about this CD, and he uses the most direct method - to acquire copyright.

In his opinion, buying out a CD for five million is a very sincere price. You should know that many best-selling CDs now cannot get so much net profit.

He knew that Baida also offered a quote, and it seemed to be higher than his. But he didn't care. In the mainland market, Baida's influence was still a little different from that of Rolling Stone. He believed that as long as the other party was not stupid, he would naturally know how to make a choice.

Chang Zhengqing was full of confidence and was waiting for the other party's reply. He even felt that he had seen that after he acquired this CD, he sold millions in just a few weeks, which shocked the old guys at the headquarters.

"Mr. Chang." The beautiful female secretary was wearing a professional black ol suit and stood at his desk.

"Well, what's the matter?" Chang Zhengqing leaned his head on the comfortable big chair and asked calmly.

"Huayin Entertainment rejected our offer."

The female secretary's voice was crisp and pleasant, but when he heard this, Chang Zhengqing's face changed.

"What did you say? Reject it?" Chang Zhengqing asked again, seemingly incredible.

"Yes, they refused very simply, without leaving any room for negotiation." The female secretary said with some annoyance. As a member of the Rolling Stone Company, she was rejected by a small record company, which made her feel very embarrassed, although this was done by the guys from the marketing department.

"Waste! What do those guys from the marketing department do?!" Chang Zhengqing slapped the table and shouted in a daze.

He felt that his authority was provoked! The other party was just a small record company, and even a fraction of the Rolling Stone. He dared to refuse the acquisition from Rolling Stone? It was a relatively reasonable price. This made him feel that he was deeply despised.

"Let the marketing department talk about it again, add another million, and tell them that I will definitely get the copyright of this CD!" Chang Zhengqing took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and waved his hand and said.

"Okay, Mr. Chang, I'll do it right away." The female secretary nodded, then turned around and walked out of the door.

The same scene was staged at the headquarters of many record companies such as Edai, Emperor, and Huanna.

The hot sales of "Quietness" surprised these traditional large record companies and saw huge business opportunities. Of course, their eyes were not just on a CD. Many companies said they were very interested in Chu Yang, the artist, and called him to ask if he had any intention to join his company to develop. Of course, they could not contact Chu Yang directly, and most of them called Wang Feifei's office phone number.

As for these requests, Wang Feifei refused all of them. After getting Chu Yang's attitude, whether it was to acquire the copyright of "Qing" or sign a contract with Chu Yang, it was free of negotiations. Faced with these powerful record companies, Wang Feifei performed very toughly.

Of course, this toughness also made these record companies very unhappy!

Just now, Wang Feifei received a call from Chang Zhengqing, general manager of Rolling Stone Greater China. Chang Zhengqing expressed strong dissatisfaction with her second refusal to Rolling Stone, and at the same time she vaguely stated that if Huayin Entertainment refuses to cooperate again, Rolling Stone will use its own resources to block the sales of "Quiet"!

This is a very obvious threat. Faced with such a giant-level company, not to mention a threat, even a normal call, Wang Feifei would attach great importance to it. But thinking of Chu Yang's firm attitude, Wang Feifei still expressed her attitude without giving in.

"Mr. Chu, the Rolling Stone Company is anxious. Their President Chang called me personally and threatened that if we did not sell the copyright of "Quiet", they would completely block our sales." On the phone, Wang Feifei said with some concern.

"No matter what, let him come over, I want to see what tricks he can do!" Chu Yang said with a relaxed smile on the phone.

Hanging up Wang Feifei's phone, Chu Yang looked in the direction of Yanjing and smiled.
