Chapter 272 271. If I get this contract, I will retire immediately!
Han Qing is not a professional agent, nor has she learned any relevant majors and skills.
But...
She always knows one thing, that is, things are rare and valuable.
Jiang Chen is the best and only resource in the circle now, and there is no substitute for it.
In the Chinese music scene, he is unique.
So, any request she makes is not too much.
But!
The conditions of these three parties are already very favorable.
She did not make excessive demands and said to Wang Xin: "Mr. Wang, I think your signing bonus is too low and your share offer is a bit low. I believe you can definitely come up with more. Much sincerity. Jiang Chen had a good cooperation with Penguin Live before, but it was interrupted later. I think Penguin Live should regret the original choice now.”
"What do you think, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Xin's eyes flickered and he looked at Liu Qing and Ma Zili. When he saw that their faces had changed slightly and looked a little ugly, he was secretly happy at the moment, knowing that Han Qing should be I want to choose Penguin Music.
After all, his conditions are the most generous. He will provide them both now and in the future.
Now we can provide an additional two to three billion in cash share, as well as hundreds of millions in signing bonuses, and there will be shares in the future!
No shortage of anything!
But...
This is certainly not his lowest line.
Wang Xin looked at Han Qing and asked, "How much does Ms. Han think we should give?"
Han Qing did not let Liu Qing and Ma Zili leave.
With these two parties here, they can continue to put pressure on the Wang Xin family.
Han Qing said: "I think 300 million signing bonus and ten points of shares are a more appropriate price! Other conditions remain unchanged. I don't like to go back and forth with you. If you can, we can draw up a contract and sign it later. If it doesn't work, then I'll talk to them again."
"You are all here, everyone is open and transparent."
Han Qing's tone is relatively strong.
Whether it is Liu Qing, Ma Zili, or Wang Xin, they are all giants in the Chinese music scene. No singer or celebrity manager has ever dared to talk to them like this.
Even though the Mido and Firefox platforms are still just small platforms, there are giants standing behind them, and no one dares to offend them.
If the three giants want to target a certain star, no matter how big a star it is, they can quickly make it disappear. Unless there is a strong official background to protect it, they cannot be the opponents of the three giants.
However, Wang Xin took a deep breath, suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and his mind quickly changed.
In terms of shares, the lowest line Mr. Ma gave him was eight points of shares, and the signing bonus was 200 million!
This is the bottom line given by Mr. Ma.
Immediately, Wang Xin sent the conditions proposed by Han Qing to Mr. Ma.
Mr. Ma was obviously waiting for news, so he saw it immediately and quickly replied with two words - OK!
It didn’t take more than thirty seconds.
Han Qing didn’t rush, waiting for Wang Xin’s communication.
Liu Qing and Ma Zili did not leave immediately. They wanted to see the final result. What if they still had a chance?
At this time, Wang Xin received a positive reply from Mr. Ma, and immediately looked up at Han Qing and said two words: "Yes!"
A smile appeared on Han Qing's pretty face, she stood up proactively, extended her hand to Wang Xin, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!"
Wang Xin also had a smile on her face. The negotiation was finally concluded, although the conditions were beyond initial expectations. , but it is not too much. After all, two to three billion in cash have been given, and another one to two hundred million in signing bonus is nothing. It is just a few more points of shares given. I don’t know the specific value in the future. .
Wang Xin stood up and shook hands with Han Qing gently: "Happy cooperation!"
Han Qing nodded, then turned to Liu Qing and Ma Zili and said apologetically: "Two "Hey, I'm sorry for making you go all the way in vain. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Liu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay. Our focus is on participation. I also hope that we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future." .”
Ma Zili smiled and said: "It's a pity that I haven't given us the extreme conditions yet. Our President Zhang said that if Jiang Chen is willing, we can give Jiang Chen up to 50% of the shares. Even in the end, Jiang Chen We are also happy to see success as we become the largest shareholder.”
The entertainment industry chain is Penguin Group’s stronghold, and it took more than ten years for its layout to achieve its current achievements and scale.
The other major Internet giants will have to pay more if they want to seize market share in Penguin Group’s strong industrial layout.
So, Mr. Zhang’s idea behind Ma Zili is that as long as he can win Jiang Chen over, he is willing to work for Jiang Chen in the end. As long as he can complete the layout of the entertainment industry chain, he will make money.
After Jiang Chen joins, he will immediately lead to the explosion of the entire music platform and become a competitor to Penguin Music in a short time.
However, Jiang Chen has always shown that he will never interfere in specific business matters.
So, even if Jiang Chen is the major shareholder by then, the real control of the platform is actually still in their hands.
They don’t care about the value of the shares lost, but they care more about the layout and control of the industrial chain.
Liu Qing also smiled beside him, having the same idea in his mind.
What a pity!
Their conditions look good, and they can give up to 50% of the shares, but their platform has just started, and even if it is 50% of the shares, the current value is only a few hundred million, and it will take a long time in the future. development can be gradually launched on the market.
Compared with Penguin Music Platform, which has been developing for ten years and has long become a dominant platform, it is full of uncertainties.
The ten shares offered by Penguin Music are now worth about one billion. When the news of Jiang Chen’s complete joining spreads, the valuation will rise further.
The most important thing is.
Penguin Music directly gave Jiang Chen a share of two to three billion for free!
This is the most deadly.
Whether it is Mido or the giant behind Firefox, investing in these two platforms is just an attempt to take advantage of the pit. It is not sure whether it can develop in the future. If it is determined that there is no development prospect, it will go bankrupt at any time. Leave.
So in the case of uncertainty, it is impossible for them to directly spend two to three billion in cash on Jiang Chen. The investment would be too great.
Capital, after all, pays attention to a rate of return and risk.
The negotiations are completely over.
Both Liu Qing and Ma Zili quickly said goodbye and left.
Wang Xin notified the company's legal affairs department to draw up a contract immediately.
In less than half an hour, the contract was delivered to Han Qing and Jiang Chen.
Han Qing read the long contract word for word, for about an hour, and modified some of the details to avoid leaving loopholes, which would cause Jiang Chen to suffer.
At the beginning, Wang Xin’s contract was for ten years!
But... Han Qing asked for three years.
In the end the two sides talked about it for five years.
Jiang Chen received a signing bonus of 300 million and ten points of shares.
For future works uploaded to Penguin Music, the Penguin Music platform will give all the sales to Jiang Chen, without the platform charging a penny. At the same time, it has also promised to regularly promote Jiang Chen’s works across the platform.
After confirming that there was no problem with the contract, Han Qing asked Jiang Chen to sign it.
Signature completed!
It happens to be lunch time.
Jiang Chen wanted to invite Wang Xin and his group to stay for a meal together, but Wang Xin refused. He wanted to return to Penguin Group immediately with the contract and report to President Ma.
Wang Xin and his party left quickly.
At the same time, Liu Qing, Ma Zili and others quickly left Xiangnan and returned to their respective companies.
The battle for Jiang Chen quickly spread within the circle.
Guo Haitao, Luo Sheng, Zhou Ming, Yuan Caiyi, Chen Xun, Yu Dong, Zheng Shuang, Li Youjun and others all got the news immediately through their respective relationships.
A few people were also having a break and gathering, and they were all shocked when they received the news.
Guo Haitao looked at the messages sent by friends in the circle and looked up at others: "Jiang Chen finally signed a contract with Penguin Music."
Luo Sheng was not too surprised. After all, Penguin Musicians have a great career. They are backed by giants and are also the largest platform themselves. They have great advantages.
As long as you are a normal person and are interested in developing in the Chinese music scene, Penguin Music will definitely be your first choice. No matter it is now or in the future, you will not lose anything.
Luo Sheng asked curiously: "What conditions?"
Several people looked at Guo Haitao curiously.
Yuan Caiyi smiled and said: "It must be a sky-high price, right?"
Guo Haitao nodded: "It is indeed a sky-high price. If you get this contract, you will definitely retire in place immediately."
Retire in place?
They thought so.
Yuan Caiyi said: "If I had Jiang Chen's live broadcast income, or his literary talent, I would definitely retire immediately."
Jiang Chen's live broadcast made hundreds of millions, and Yuan Caiyi felt that her live broadcast of singing After ten games, you can retire after earning three to four billion. Or if she has Jiang Chen's talent and can sell two to three billion for one work, she will retire immediately and it's enough to write a work occasionally and sell it.
Li Youjun asked eagerly: "Isn't there competition among the three giants? What conditions did Penguin Music offer to defeat the other two?"
Zhou Ming: "Lao Guo, please hurry up and stop being so pretentious! "
Guo Haitao smiled and said: "I just found out too. I’m still digesting the news. The first thing Penguin Music has given is that all sales of Jiang Chen’s works will belong to Jiang Chen, and Penguin Music Platform will not take any of it.”
That’s it. It’s enough to make all the musicians and singers present envious.
They are all already at the top of the Chinese music scene. They have also cooperated with Penguin Music and have their works downloaded and sold on it.
However, the top-level share contract they got was only 70%. This was already the top level, and there was nothing higher than this.
Although they are all veteran kings and top producers, they actually don’t have much bargaining power when it comes to Penguin Music.
The most important point is.
They have no second choice.
Penguin Music, a Chinese pop music download platform, occupies the majority of the market share and has the largest number of paying users. If it is not sold here, where will it go?
The goods have the opportunity to go to the largest supermarket, but who would go to the convenience store at the door of the community?
So, when there is no second choice, Penguin Music has always been the stronger side among all singers and musicians.
The highest share given is 70%, and no more than fifteen people in the Chinese music industry have received this share, all of them are veteran kings, queens and top musicians who own a large number of copyrights of their works!
None of the masters in the past ten years or so have received this share, the highest is 60%.
Yuan Caiyi did not get 70% of the share, but 60%.
Jiang Chen has absolutely strong bargaining power when it comes to Penguin Music.
Because.
They also know that the sales of Jiang Chen's works this month have reached 4 to 5 billion, while the overall market value of Penguin Music is only around 10 billion. The total turnover of the previous year was only 10 to 20 billion. Around 100 million, how could it be possible to let Jiang Chen leave?
Based on the sales volume of Jiang Chen’s works and getting a full share of the revenue, the increase in his income is terrifying.
Yuan Caiyi asked: "What else? This must be just one of the conditions!"
Several people stared at Guo Haitao with burning eyes again, their hearts burning with gossip, as if they had signed the contract themselves.
However, they also have some expectations in their hearts.
If Jiang Chen can sign such a contract, can they also offer higher conditions to Penguin Music for their next contract? Mention the share?
Guo Haitao continued: "There must be more! Now, any platform that wants to sign Jiang Chen must give shares! I heard that Miduo and Firefox both gave 4% Jiang Chen didn’t agree to the offer of more than 10% of the shares.”
“In terms of value, Penguin Music’s 10% share is much higher than the other two. 40% of the shares of the big platform!”
Ten points of Penguin Music shares!
After hearing this, several people were jealous again.
If they can own shares of Penguin Music, their influence and voice in the Chinese music scene will definitely increase by several levels, reaching the level of a true godfather, who can decide the fate of many singers with one sentence.
As for the 40% shares of the other two major platforms, they thought it was just like that.
After all, they are not people outside who don’t know the industry, but people who really understand in the industry. They know that these two platforms are new platforms, there are not many big-name singers under them, the traffic is very low, and the overall value is not worth it. , 40% of the shares are only worth a few hundred million!
Guo Haitao did not sell out and continued: "Give Jiang Chen a signing bonus of 300 million yuan! The most important thing is that Penguin Music is full of sincerity and promises to sign the contract from the first song Jiang Chen releases on Penguin Music. Count it! In other words, all Jiang Chen’s works are considered works under the contract!”
Guo Haitao’s words made several people present stunned, and they didn’t realize what he meant at the first time. .
But, if you think about it carefully...
Several people looked shocked at the same time.
Luo Sheng stood up in shock: "Penguin Music is willing to bleed so much this time? Give away the billions you got?"
Li Youjun also widened his eyes: "It seems that Penguin Group really wants to sign Jiang Chen. Such a large investment is definitely not something Penguin Music can decide on its own."
"Such a condition, really No one can refuse it! The other two new platforms really can’t follow it.”
Everyone was shocked.
I also understand what Guo Haitao said before, if they get this contract, they will definitely retire immediately!
They were thinking that if they could really get it, they would really retire immediately!
