Chapter 473 You Look Like I'm Stupid
The Sony trio, after failing in the first phase of business negotiations, returned to the company.

"Lawyer Amuro, Ms. Takeda, please don't report everything that happened in the firm just now."

Ohga Musashi in the back seat pressed a tissue on his painful forehead and said.

Takeda Ema, who was driving, didn't say anything when he heard this, but just sneered in his heart.

If she had known now, why at the beginning, she really couldn't understand why the board of directors would send this guy to work because his father was the former president of Sony Music Entertainment?

This old pervert, as the vice president of Sony Music, is in a high position. What kind of woman has never played with him before. He insists on making trouble while discussing business. What is he trying to do?
"I only look at the results. 130 billion is not enough to buy out ten songs. This pianist has a big appetite."

Amuro Nai and Nozomi saw him as if his spine had been broken, unable to straighten his back, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly.

He spoke only once at the firm and wasn't fully involved.

He could see that the young man was most likely the Zero Hour Master.

In addition, Zero Hour may not have liked their conditions from the beginning. Although the process was more tortuous and some farce occurred, but they knew Zero Hour's attitude, and the result was the same.

As a member of the legal department of Sony Music, even though he is a lawyer by profession, he still has a good understanding of the affairs in the industry.

13 billion, it is so simple to buy a murderer, but this price is not satisfactory, it really opened his eyes.

"Miss Takeda."

Seeing his statement, Oga Musashi did not answer, but looked towards the front seat.

"The board of directors only discusses business matters. The key is what Master Zero said. There are two companies that want to cooperate and must report it as soon as possible."

Although Takeda Ema hated him very much, it was impossible to threaten him with this matter.

In view of what happened just now, she has seen... Dahe Musashi is capable of bending and stretching, and he is a typical villain. To provoke such a person is completely asking for trouble.

"Yes, yes... I will contact you right away."

When Dahe Musashi saw that they all agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief and came back to his senses.

The top priority is for him to overcome this difficulty first.

……

In the afternoon, Kurosawa Hikaru and Igarashi Runai met representatives from Apple Music and Penguin Music again.

But the result was the same, no contract was signed.

As night fell, the windows of the lounge on the third floor of Zero Hour Office were lit up.

"Kisawa, don't the three families agree?"

On the high table in the lounge, Runa Igarashi was eating takeaway, very puzzled.

At first, Hikaru Kurosawa rejected Sony domineeringly. She thought that Kurosawa was simply standing up for her, but Apple and Penguin who came in the afternoon brought proposals with better conditions than Sony. She was excited just thinking about it. Still rejected.

"Their asking price is not sincere, and they don't understand the value at all. They need to re-evaluate."

Kurosawa nodded while eating curry rice.

"Isn't that sincere? Sony's 130 billion, Penguin's 140 billion, and Apple's 180 billion..."

Igarashi Runa was shocked.

To be honest, even though she has been in the industry for so many years, she has never seen so much money.

Even Fujiwara Rokka doesn't have time to go home 365 days a year, even during the New Year. He wants to participate in the Red and White Song Festival, which brings about 50 billion in turnover to the Magic Star Office.

This is the value of Fujiwara Rokka's peak period after several years of debut.

Putting this matter aside, a contract calculated in units of [-] million is really scary.

The most important thing is that none of these contracts have mandatory performance conditions, which is in line with Kurosawa's requirement that he doesn't like to show his face everywhere and hold concerts.

Hikaru Kurosawa saw that she still hadn't recovered, and was a little helpless, so he had to explain clearly to her:

"There are many songs that become popular overnight. There are not many singers who get rich overnight, but they are not in the minority. Don't be intimidated by their buy-out price. Sony's asking price of 130 billion may seem high, but it is Buy out the song copyright for ten years, which is 13 billion yen a year."

"really……"

Igarashi Runa suddenly came to his senses when he heard these words.

She was indeed intimidated by the tens of billions of dollars in the contract. She couldn't help smiling when she thought of signing the contract and the firm would earn tens of billions of yen.

Now calm down and think about it, the price is indeed very low.

13 billion a year, although there is no need to hold concerts everywhere, but this amount of money is useless at all.

What's more, Zero Hour Office is not in a hurry to spend money, it must ask for 130 billion to save lives.

"But Sony's contract is good, right? They are willing to help us produce and sell albums. Sony's sales channels are the top and most mature in the industry, which can save us a lot of effort."

It's just that Igarashi Runai raised doubts after thinking about it.

"Do you really think this is a benefit for us? Let's not talk about it. According to your previous calculation, if my first album can sell 3000 million copies, which is equivalent to 1000 billion yen in sales, 55% will be distributed to them. 500 billion.

If my song is monopolized by them, it is tantamount to indirectly attracting Sony Music, which is of obvious value.Over the next 10 years, the more famous I became, the more money they made.

Conservative estimates, at least [-] billion yen in revenue, or even far more than that. "

Kurosawa shook his head and made his point clearly.

In fact, he is already talking about it in a small way. Sony signed such a contract with him. In the case of various benefits and many factors in the annual report performance, the stock price will also rise.

"Can they earn so much? According to you, they are taking advantage of the contracts brought by the three of them today?"

Igarashi Runai's eyes widened, she was really shocked.

"That's why I said that they are not sincere. They just want to bully us because we don't know anything. They have a small family and a small business. They want to use money to stun us."

Kurosawa looked at her with relief, and didn't care much about her hindsight.

She is a gold agent, and she hasn't studied finance yet, but she is good at cultivating artists. When encountering such a tens of billions of sky-high contracts, she will be bluffed and want to sign it immediately. It is a normal thing.

And that Ms. Takeda is also very good at drawing big cakes, and directly boasted that the sales volume of the album was 3000 million, which is equal to 1000 billion!
To be honest, even he was shocked when he heard about Hundred Billion for the first time.

So much money, even after being divided, is not all, but it will allow them to realize wealth freedom.

However, after investigating, he calmed down.

The three-point plan seemed to let him reach the sky in one step, but in fact it was all about making a big difference with a small one.

"You look at me like that, I look stupid..."

Igarashi Runai looked at him with gratifying eyes, her face was very hot and she was extremely ashamed.

"All in all, the three of them are not sincere. They all think that I will become famous overnight and cheat me."

Kurosawa waved his hand and continued eating curry rice.

Although he has cooking skills, he has always been very casual about what he eats. The reason why he likes rice bowls is because the soup tastes good, so just make do with it.

"Then what kind of price do they have to offer before you feel sincere?"

Seeing his calm look, Runa Igarashi thought he was very handsome, and couldn't help but ask.

"Remember what you said before, the most profitable singer in the entertainment industry can earn more than 200 billion yen a year? I don't have so much free time to hold concerts, but it's impossible to calculate at that price... In fact, I don't know what price is right, let's see what they offer first."

Regarding this, Hikaru Kurosawa said while sorting out his thoughts, but he couldn't give an answer.

"What if they don't come and can't offer the price you want?"

Igarashi Ryuna thought about it, worried that today's rejection would miss the opportunity.

Although the other party took advantage of it, even so, the benefits of such a large contract are very considerable.

As that Oga Musashi said, this contract is equivalent to tens of billions of yen for them.

"They will come again, and they will definitely bring sincerity... They don't worry about the shortage but the inequality. In fact, even if they don't cooperate with me, it doesn't affect the fact that they are a big company, but they definitely don't want me to cooperate with them. Opponents cooperate.”

It was a pity to see her, Kurosawa reached out and pinched her little face, comforting her.

The biggest gain of the entry-level financial-investment theory skill is to recognize one's own bargaining chips and his value in the eyes of others.

……

On the other side, Sony Music Entertainment, held a board meeting.

"President Yoshida, didn't you keep saying that Oga Musashi would definitely be able to sign it? Why didn't you sign the contract? And I heard that he was injured. It was said that he hit a utility pole and there was a lot of blood on his forehead. Could it be from kowtowing?"

The board of directors finalized the theme before the meeting, and someone asked the crime as soon as it came up.

"Director Daquan, the meeting and negotiation this time is just to test the tone. I think that Zero Hour is not an idle person, and he knows his value. Moreover, there are Apple and Penguin watching. It may not be so easy to cooperate this time."

President Yoshida, who was questioned, was a serious-looking middle-aged man with two gray hairs. Facing such doubts, he responded calmly.

The reason why I sent Oga Musashi to negotiate the contract is that I value this guy's ability to bully the weak and fear the strong, coerce and lure, and use his aura to attack others. Let him deal with a young man like Runa Igarashi who suddenly starts a business and becomes a boss. It's within reach.

That's why, when the company initially formulated a strategy and first spent a sum of money to test the details and appetite of Zero Time Office, Oga Musashi was recommended.

If this matter is achieved, as the proposer, he will win the respect and recognition of the board of directors and the main company, and he will advance to a higher level in his career.

If this matter fails, it will have little impact on him, at most he will be questioned a few times.

Because of the preliminary strategy of the board of directors, the conditions put forward were not sincere. They just wanted to test it first to see if Zero Hour Office was a small company that would be manipulated by petty profits.

"I told you to show sincerity, but you all refused to listen, and even used this kind of trick. The potential and value of Zero Time is obvious. It should have been sincere and try to sign it as soon as possible."

Director Daquan was a middle-aged fat man who was so stubborn when he saw his failure, so he sneered a few times and looked at the other people present.
