The person who came to the UFO record was Peng Guohua. To be precise, he had come to Hong Kong several times. He had been talking with Deng Yimin and Ye Pei before, but now Kang Jianfei had to come forward to make an idea.

Pop Records.

Ye Zipei took the tray from the female secretary and put the tea in front of Kang Jianfei and Deng Yimin.

Deng Yimin took the teacup, nodded to Ye Zipei and said, "Thank you!"

Kang Jianfei fiddled with the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid of the teacup, and asked, "You mean, Warner Records wanted to buy UFO, and UFO came to me for help? Warner Records is a big international company, and Peng Guohua really looks up to me. "

Deng Yimin said: "The main markets for Chinese-language records are Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Nanyang, as well as the newly emerging mainland market. The Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Nanyang markets have been divided up, and the mainland market, although it was born, has unlimited potential. It can even exceed the sum of other regions. Boss, you and Miss Ye have gone very early. You established Xiongfei Records in the mainland a few years ago. The sales channels in provincial cities across the country are very mature, and the next-level distribution network It is also being perfected, which is far stronger than Warner Records, which has just entered the mainland business."

After detailed explanations by Deng Yimin and Ye Pei, Kang Jianfei had previously known Peng Guohua's purpose.

Kang Jianfei knew that UFO Records would be acquired by Warner Records next year and be swallowed up step by step in the following years. But he took it for granted that UFO Records was merged by Warner Records because of the recession in Taiwan's economy and the slump in the record industry.

But the fact is just the opposite. Taiwan's record industry is in its most prosperous era, and the future acquisition of UFO Records by Warner is a last resort.

This has to start in the 80's.

Many events in Taiwan are marked by the "lifting of Yanyan" in 1987 as a turning point. Political, economic, and social, as well as the record industry, which is based on music culture, is also bounded by this. It was very different before and after 1987.

Before the lifting of the martial law, Taiwan's record industry, like the mainland, was strictly controlled by the authorities. Overseas companies cannot do business directly on the island. Its products need to be manufactured, distributed and sold by companies in Taiwan, which is the so-called "agent system".

Such as Kang Jianfei's popular record company. Originally, it was released by Haishan Records to Taiwan, and later the agency was changed to UFO Records.

Because of the existence of the "agent system", many powerful international record companies cannot directly enter the Taiwan market, and Taiwanese local companies that have obtained the agency rights of international record companies have developed rapidly. UFO is one of them. It has the agency rights of a large company like Warner Records in Taiwan, as well as the agency rights of small and medium-sized companies such as Pop Records.

But after the lifting of the law in 1987, everything changed - the Taiwan authorities gave up control of the record industry.

At this time, the international music industry basically completed the group integration. Five large record groups dominate the global record industry, with ample funds and a momentary momentum. Under such a situation, the major international record companies have made their way to the stage of Taiwan's record industry.

The five major companies have established their own branches in Taiwan by means of acquisitions, mergers, and withdrawal of agency rights to directly operate their business. A typical example of this is that in 1989, PolyGram directly reorganized Qi Fei, merged the related business of Kolin and other companies to establish PolyGram Taiwan branch, EMI and bmg took back the agency rights of Rolling Stone and established their own Taiwan branch, etc. .

As the two most original record companies in Taiwan, Rolling Stones and UFO suddenly Alexander, facing the pressure of the five major international record companies, they have only two choices: lie down and obey. Or fight hard.

The Rolling Stones showed domineering and chose the most direct and violent way of resistance. In just a few years, branch offices have been opened in countries and regions such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Hong Kong. Crazy expansion of their overseas sites, head-to-head with international record companies in all the places where Chinese-language records can be sold.

The way the Rolling Stones fought was too bloody, and it looked brilliant for a while, but with such a big stall under the lack of funds, by the end of the 1990s, it was dying and became a weak giant. If it hadn't been for Rolling Stone's successful entry into the mainland market after 2002, the company would have bled to death long ago.

The managers of UFO Records are more conservative, they don't have the rushing momentum of the Rolling Stones. So in another time and space, it took nearly 10 years to be eaten by Warner Records.

The problem with UFO records right now is. A large part of the company's profit comes from the agency business of Warner Music. At the same time, the release of UFO records in Nanyang also depends on the channels of Warner Records.

Now Warner Music threatens to take back the agency rights and terminate the cooperation, and asks for a stake in UFO Records. If UFO does not agree, the company's profit point will be cut by more than half in an instant.

If it is a small company or other partner, there is no problem in agreeing to its shareholding, but the large-scale expansion of the five major record companies in the world has made it clear to all people engaged in music. Once it is agreed to let Hua be included in the UFO, then in the next few years, the UFO will be devoured by it step by step, which is also the ending of another space-time UFO record.

"The differences within UFO are very serious. Although everyone knows that accepting China's shareholding is to drink poison to quench thirst, but they are reluctant to lose the huge profits in their hands," Deng Yimin said, "Peng Guohua advocated termination of cooperation with Warner. UFO and Pop Records have a comprehensive cooperation in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. However, if you want to recover the huge loss from breaking up with Warner, you must develop mainland business."

Kang Jianfei thought for a moment and asked, "Then why did he want to see me? Just talk to you and Zipei about this kind of thing."

Ye Zipei smiled and said, "He wants you to become a shareholder in Warner."

"Bearing a huge loss and rejecting Huacheng as a shareholder, and on the other hand took the initiative to ask me to become a shareholder, what are the few UFO shareholders thinking?" Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "Aren't they afraid that I will swallow the UFO record in the end?"

Deng Yimin said: "You don't have the strength to eat them, at least not now. Compared with the world's top five record companies like Warner Records, Pop Records is like a child, and UFO Records is also a child. The current situation is that two It's a win-win situation for the kids to team up and fight the big guys. Let's be honest. The pressure on Pop Records is also increasing. The big five record companies are growing too fast in Asia. Keep going like this. Survival in the Southeast will be increasingly difficult."

Kang Jianfei asked, "Have their internal opinions been unified?"

Deng Yimin said: "It has not been fully unified yet, although they have agreed to cooperate with us. But there is still a voice that I hope Pop Records and UFO Records can exchange shares."

Kang Jianfei asked directly, "We and them, which company is more profitable?"

Deng Yimin said: "UFO records are now far more profitable than us, but once the cooperation with Warner is terminated, their vitality will be greatly damaged."

Kang Jianfei asked, "What do you think?"

Deng Yimin said affirmatively: "Agree to exchange shares, even we can suffer a little loss."

Kang Jianfei nodded: "Okay, just do what you want. After the plan for the exchange of shares is done. Just show me."

Ye Pei said: "After Fengxing Records and UFO reach an agreement, Xiongfei Records can follow up."

Kang Jianfei thought about it and said, "There is also Korea, where Rolling Stones has already opened a branch. After UFO cooperates with us, the Korean record business should also be launched. In the future, the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan markets will be the base of the Iron Triangle. South Korea The market is our back garden, and the Nanyang region and the Japanese market are the battlefield. After all, the five major record companies are big international companies. When necessary, we can cooperate with Fang Yihua’s Huaxing Records, and they also need allies in the Nanyang market.”

What Kang Jianfei said just now can be regarded as the development program of popular records, flying saucer records and Xiongfei records in the future. He just needs to establish a general direction. The specific operation still depends on Deng Yimin, Ye Pei, Peng Guohua and Wu Chuchu from Taiwan.

Only after the three reached an agreement, Kang Jianfei came forward to meet Peng Guohua, and served them warmly in Liyuan.

Peng Guohua has long hair. The first impression you get is that he is an artist, and he has the style of a literary youth. Without knowing the details, he can't guess that he is the owner of a record company.

Peng Guohua was overjoyed to learn that Kang Jianfei had agreed to exchange shares in the two companies. This condition was enough for him to go back and persuade other shareholders of the company.

In fact, the main reason why Peng Guohua chose Kang Jianfei to cooperate instead of looking for Huaxing Records is that he took a fancy to Kang Jianfei's relationship and sales channels in the mainland. In addition, the influence of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group in South Korea is also a reason.

"What's Mr. Kang's view on the prospects of the mainland record market?" Peng Guohua asked.

Kang Jianfei said: "In the past few years, a group of singers born and raised in mainland China have appeared. They are very popular with the public, and the sales of the best albums are in the millions. There have been new changes in the past two years. Even the Northeast China , Northwest likes to listen to Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, it is the perfect period for us to enter."

Peng Guohua clapped his hands and said, "I think so too. In the future, I will rely more on Mr. Kang and Miss Ye."

After Peng Guohua said that, he toasted Kang Jianfei and Ye Zipei's wine.

In the 1990s, the mainland market treated Hong Kong and Taiwan singers to the point of being a servant. A third-rate singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan went to the mainland to sing two songs at random. The appearance fee was at least 50,000 or 100,000, and the round-trip air ticket was reimbursed. ——The monthly salary of most workers in mainland China is only a few hundred yuan.

Hong Kong and Taiwan stars go to the mainland not to sing, but to steal money. The microphone is a machine gun, and the album is a grenade.

Of course, piracy is still the biggest problem, and this thing can't solve it at all.

It's almost Christmas~lightnovelpub.net~ Kang Jianfei's energy will inevitably turn to movies. But after the Lunar New Year, the tripartite cooperation between UFO Records, Popular Records, and Xiongfei Records will basically start, and he will have to go to the mainland and Taiwan for a while.

Isn't it the top five international record companies? Going to the Chinese-speaking area to hang out, if it’s a dragon, let me roll it, and if it’s a tiger, let me lie down obediently. There are some classic Chinese songs in Kang Jianfei’s pocket.

The Little Tigers are now taking the Chinese band by storm. Although the girls' team was formed, there was no response. Maybe you can come up with a she combination in advance, and pick a few beautiful girls to put it there, which is definitely a big killer for today's teenagers. Back then, the happy girl group created by Kang Jianfei was once a big hit. Because of the blockade by the Taiwan authorities, it gradually became quiet after losing the Taiwan market.

When Peng Guohua left, Kang Jianfei also deliberately took care of him and asked him to find a few more beautiful girls for him to spare, and he could always choose three suitable ones. (To be continued)
