Chapter 971 Wholesale and Pie-Making

Even though Treasure Island is much larger than Xiangjiang, Polygram Xiangjiang is definitely more valued than Polygram Treasure Island.

Because the entire entertainment industry system in Xiangjiang is very sound, the stars it launches are also very successful.

Don't mention anything else, just say that Xu Guanjie and Leslie Cheung, two superstars in the Asian music scene, are both in PolyGram, and you will know how powerful PolyGram is.

In fact, if Yin Jun hadn't intervened, another superstar in Xiangjiang, Tan Yonglin, would also be in PolyGram. This year he would come back from Baodao and transfer directly from Baodao PolyGram to Xiangjiang PolyGram.

Then the next generation of singers - Zhang Xueyou, he is also in PolyGram.

In addition, big stars such as Liu Dehua, Li Shuan, Li Kechu, Xu Xiaofeng, Chen Huixian, Zhou Huimin, etc. are also in PolyGram.

In contrast, although Baodao singers are very famous and have many good songs, they just can't create the atmosphere of the Hong Kong music scene. So although Mandarin is more popular in Southeast Asia, Baodao singers just can't create the atmosphere of the Hong Kong music scene. Lost to the Hong Kong singer who sang in Cantonese.

This life is different. On the first day of Baodao, Yin Jun abducted everyone, and then Yin Jun, the most famous group of songwriters and producers in Baodao, also abducted half of them and came to Xiangjiang.

With such a lineup, five years later, with the emergence of the Four Heavenly Kings one after another and the debut of a group of stars, Kirin Records will surely be the top presence in the Chinese music scene.

Of course, for now, PolyGram is still better than Kirin Records, not to mention its background.

Therefore, Yin Jun politely invited Zheng Donghan to have tea and discuss purchasing the copyright.

Speaking of which, since Zheng Donghan rejected Yin Jun's solicitation last time, he has become much more wary of Yin Jun.

Zheng Donghan actually knows that Yin Jun is definitely the kindest and gentlest among the super rich. As his friend, Zheng Donghan feels very happy.

But in business, this is different.

It is impossible for any super-rich person to get to where they are today peacefully.

When Yin Jun was in JiaTV, he was so successful that he and TVB couldn't hold their heads up. Later, he directly used JiaTV and ATV to jointly suppress TVB, turning the Xiangjiang TV industry from a situation where one company was the only one to a dominant one. It has become today's situation of three powerful forces.

Then Yin Jun created the "Kilin Daily", which was even more bloody. Now, two years later, there are only less than 50 of the more than 100 newspapers in Xiangjiang, and more than half of them have closed down in one go. I don't know the harm. How many people in the newspaper industry have lost their jobs.

Then there is "Qilin Weekly", this "unprofessional comic that does not do its job properly" that was once ridiculed by the comics king Huang Yulang, is no longer wreaking havoc in Hong Kong, and has directly ravaged the comics market around the world, not only defeating Japan. Comic weekly magazines in this comic kingdom are losing ground. Even the originators of comics in the United States are said to have been beaten badly, with sales plummeting.

An incident that happened recently frightened Zheng Donghan even more.

Just because Hollywood did not accept the Kirin Group, they teamed up to attack Yin Jun's carefully produced "Speed". Not only did Yin Jun not have any intention of giving in, he also directly spent 50 million US dollars, which is almost 250 million Hong Kong dollars, to fight with them. .

The most amazing thing is that Yin Jun actually went above and beyond and directly produced a "great split" Mercedes-Benz commercial. Such a classic came out and helped Fei Xiang become famous overnight. In one fell swoop, he completely defeated the sniping attacks of Hollywood giants and laid the solid foundation.

As a result, everyone now naturally knows that "Speed" surpassed "Superman 2", which Americans love so much, and temporarily ranked second in this year's box office rankings, second only to the more changeable "Superman 2", which is also written by Yin Jun and investing’s “E.T.”

Such various methods made Zheng Donghan deeply understand that Yin Jun's success was definitely not as simple as it was said outside.

When the time comes, Yin Jun will definitely use thunderous means to defeat his opponent.

The same is true in the recording industry.

The record market in Asia is so big, but there can only be one leader.

Zheng Donghan would not believe that Yin Jun would be willing to be inferior to PolyGram after getting a Kirin record.

Yin Jun's character is not to be inferior to others.

And Zheng Donghan has enough reasons to be afraid.

Although Yin Jun never mentioned that Zhang Guorong was poached to Kirin Records, Zhang Guorong also promised Zheng Donghan that he would never switch to another company during the contract period.

But when Leslie Cheung signed with PolyGram in 1979, the contract he signed at that time was only for 5 years!

In another two years, Zhang Guorong will be free. At that time, whether he will choose Kirin Records owned by his good friend Yin Jun, or PolyGram, this does not seem to be a difficult choice.

Also, through this cooperation in "Xiangjiang Idol", Xu Guanjie praised Yin Jun's talent. For this singer, money is not the most important, but making good songs is the most important.

What if Yin Jun used a few classic songs to seduce Xu Guanjie and snagged him to Kirin Records?

More importantly, do you think Xu Guanjie is awesome? The number one singer in Hong Kong, not even Leslie Cheung! You say Zhang Guorong is awesome, right? Asia's most handsome king, even Xu Guanjie can't compare!

But the two of them combined are not as good as the Chinese first queen!

What others don’t know is that Zheng Donghan went to the recording studio of Kirin Records many times to visit and listen to Teresa Teng’s recordings. Based on the fact that Teresa Teng sang the song Yin Jun wrote for her, she was so sweet that she almost melted with happiness. If the two of them People don't have anything, Zheng Donghan dares to hang himself on the southeast branch!

Once Yin Jun calls Teresa Deng back, the name of Asia's No. 1 record company will be replaced in minutes, and there will be absolutely no luck.

I just don’t know why, but Yin Jun never let Teresa Teng join Kirin Records. He also asked her to go back to the United States and let PolyGram record this record for her that would definitely be a hit.

Zheng Donghan couldn't figure this out. Maybe a genius like Yin Jun always has some thoughts that others can't guess!

Just like now, Yin Jun invited him to drink tea for no reason.

Of course, Zheng Donghan's doubts did not last long. Yin Jun said the matter was very straightforward and straight to the point.

"Brother Han, I'm going to sell our Xiangjiang and Baodao records in the mainland. Can you help me run a run? How many records of popular singers does your PolyGram have? As long as they sell more than 50,000 copies, package them all for me. How about it?"

"Well!?"

Zheng Donghan was drinking black tea and almost choked when he heard this: "Selling records to the mainland? Mr. Jun, you are... right?"

He originally subconsciously wanted to say, "Are you okay?" But the Yin Jun in front of him was not a singer under his banner, but a super rich man from Hong Kong. How could he say that?

After Yin Jun nodded, Zheng Donghan couldn't bear to be surprised, "Although I have never been to the mainland, many people who have been told me that the state-owned record stores in the mainland are all our records, including Lijun's, but they are all It’s a pirated copy! It doesn’t have any authorization from us! Moreover, music tapes in the mainland are so cheap. If you buy the copyright and add various recording and distribution fees, how can you make money?”

Records from Xiangjiang and Baodao are always not cheap.

A vinyl record costs about 20-30 Hong Kong dollars, and a music tape costs about 10 Hong Kong dollars.

If you go to the mainland at this price and you can't even drink soup or water, you're just losing money and making money.

"So I have to rely on your help." Yin Jun spread his hands and said: "What do you think of us offering a package price? You take out the record copyrights that you can give, and I will give you 100,000 Hong Kong dollars if you choose one. , a one-time buyout!”

"100,000?" Zheng Donghan shook his head subconsciously: "No, no, how can it be so cheap? The cheapest ones are more than this price! And you still buy it out! Mr. Jun, you are making things too difficult for us!"

"Then how much do you want?" Yin Jun spread his hands again, "I will sell to the mainland, but it won't make much money, and I may lose money. You can't kill me too hard, right? If I want to buy 1,000 records , that’s 100 million! What’s more, you can’t sell the copyright to the mainland in the first place, isn’t this money equivalent to picking up for free?”

"That's true, but it's still too cheap. This is a matter of principle in doing business." Zheng Donghan still firmly disagreed, "I think even the senior executives of the company's headquarters would rather not sell the copyright. The price of one record was 100,000 yuan, which was all our hard work."

After a pause, Zheng Donghan asked curiously: "Master Jun, you already know that you can't make money anymore, why do you still do business at a loss? This is not like your style!"

Yin Jun laughed, "Of course, we also have benefits. Although the tape may lose a little money, if the tape sells more and sells better, wouldn't our Kirin radio recorder sell better? There is no need to increase sales. Being able to maintain the current sales is enough for us, and we would rather lose money than make music tapes!"

"I see!"

Zheng Donghan suddenly realized.

Yin Jun's explanation is very reasonable.

Nowadays, Kirin radio cassette players sell more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars a month in the Mainland, and the net profit is as high as 100 to 200 million.

Compared to a net profit of one to two hundred million, a loss of one to two million on music tapes is simply nothing.

Once more people are attracted through music tapes, wouldn't it be easier to sell radio cassette players as the tide rises?

However, in this case, it seems that Yin Jun still earns a lot.

Zheng Donghan immediately said: "Master Jun, you see that you are going to make a big profit. Can you give the smaller profits to us hard-working musicians? The copyright fee of 100,000 yuan is too low! Otherwise Let’s get a 500,000 piece, okay?”

"Of course not." Yin Jun shook his head and refused, "Brother Han, I will not only buy from you, I will also buy from EMI and Huaxing. I am also interested in buying some English and Japanese songs from foreign countries. Some. Don’t look at 100,000 per piece, but when hundreds or thousands of pieces accumulate, I’m really stressed out.”

"But our Polygram is definitely the big one, right?" Zheng Donghan knows more about records, "We must occupy at least 60% of the market share, which is also the key to cultivating mainland fans!"

"Why don't you say that I have cultivated these fans? One day when you go to the mainland to sell records, you will find that someone has already paved the road for you?" Yin Jun asked, "Is it at that time that you You want to share it with me even if you make money? If so, I will agree to the price of 500,000 yuan per record."

"..." Zheng Donghan was speechless.

Of course he couldn't promise that.

But Zheng Donghan doesn't really believe that mainlanders can buy genuine and expensive records. In such a poor place, records cost 10 yuan or 20 yuan a disc. How can they buy it with their monthly salary of dozens of yuan?

But there is no doubt that the picture painted by Yin Jun did make Zheng Donghan a little moved.

just in case……

What if that day really comes?

We really took advantage of it! !
