Chapter 475 Still Insincere (Today's Update)
Reading a business plan is time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Because the business plan means cooperation, and commercial cooperation involves money, so a contract must be signed in the end.

Having said that, although Runa Igarashi was involved in a contract of more than [-] billion and was slammed by the huge figure, she could still keep a calm look at the contracts of hundreds of millions and billions.

Hikaru Kurosawa flipped through the selected proposals and was in a good mood.

He felt like the boss of a big company. He traveled around the mountains and rivers on weekdays, and when he took time to go back and forth to the company, he was accompanied by a beautiful secretary to deal with the stacked contracts.

"Yes."

"I'm going to ask Mr. Zero Hour about this first. I wonder if he's free."

Igarashi Runai received a call. After a simple conversation, she held down the receiver with her finger and said:
"Kurosawa, Sony said they would like to meet again tomorrow."

"Give me the phone."

Hikaru Kurosawa, who was reading the proposal with his legs crossed, fell silent for a while, then stretched out his hand.

"who are you?"

After answering the phone, Kurosawa Hikari asked first.

"Mr. Zero Hour, I'm Takeda Ema. We met in the morning."

The person on the other end of the phone was one of the three people who came to negotiate the contract on behalf of Sony this morning, Takeda Ema.

"I'm free tomorrow morning, but whether or not to have an interview depends on the conditions you offer and whether you are sincere."

After confirming his identity, Guan Kurosawa was not polite and said bluntly.

"Mr. Zero, we absolutely have no intention of fooling you. The conditions this time will definitely satisfy you."

"Oh? What conditions did Sony offer this time?"

Hearing her assured tone, Hikaru Kurosawa twitched the corners of his mouth and asked.

"The minimum guarantee price of the contract has been raised to 300 billion, and other conditions and requirements remain unchanged."

Takeda Ema was not afraid to speak up when faced with his questions, and was full of confidence.

It is indeed better to negotiate the conditions first, then have an interview, further discuss the details, and then sign the contract. It will not waste the time of both parties.

A guaranteed contract of 300 billion yen is a super big contract that can shock the industry globally.

Because Hikaru Kurosawa turned on the loudspeaker, Runa Igarashi on the side heard 300 billion, her beautiful eyes widened.

When the conditions and requirements remained the same, he just rejected it once, and in less than a day, it soared to 300 billion... No wonder Kurosawa would say that Sony was not sincere.

"Is this considered sincere?"

However, Hikaru Kurosawa was still dissatisfied when he heard the price, and frowned.

He thought that Sony was rejected once, realized the problem, and asked for cooperation for the second time, and would show a serious attitude, and the result was like this?

"Isn't that being sincere?"

Takeda Ema, who was still full of confidence, was completely unconfident by his dissatisfied and questioning tone.

The board of directors discussed for an afternoon, finalized the requirements and conditions of the new contract, conducted repeated research, submitted materials for approval, and finally came up with the price, she was shocked.

Because she has never seen that the decision-making speed of the upper management is so fast... probably because of the results of the two rivals, Apple and Penguin.

"Not counting."

Kurosawa said firmly.

"Then what does it take to be sincere?"

Takeda Ema only felt that his outlook on the world, outlook on life, and values ​​had collapsed, but based on the professional instinct of communication, he still asked patiently.

"If the price is doubled according to your company's request, I may agree."

Kurosawa made a rough estimate, but he was not sure about it.

"How many times?"

Takeda Ema gasped, feeling his head buzzing.

Several times of 300 billion, isn't that hundreds of billions?Does he think money is blown by the wind?
Let alone 300 billion, even if it is [-] billion, she has never seen so much money in her life.

"If you don't want to offer such a price, you can lower your request appropriately. According to your company's request, I am at this price, and I may not agree."

Hikaru Kurosawa didn't think he was speaking amazingly, but just conveyed his own thoughts.

"..."

Takeda Ema realized that he didn't seem to be joking, and was speechless for a while.

"It's not up to you to decide, just pass on my request. If your company is willing to agree to my request, then call us. If you don't agree, there is no need to call."

Kurosawa knew that her position and status were not high, so he didn't talk nonsense to her, and hung up the phone forcefully.

"Kurosawa, are you serious? 300 billion will be doubled."

Seeing that he hung up the phone, Igarashi Ryuna couldn't help asking.

"Seriously, of course."

Kurosawa nodded, affirming.

"How could they agree to such a condition..."

"It is possible for them to agree, because of the contract proposed by Sony, they conservatively estimate that they can earn hundreds of billions."

"Can they make so much money?"

Igarashi Runai didn't understand and was shocked.

"Let me settle an account for you, you will understand after listening."

Kurosawa saw that she didn't understand, after thinking about it, he simply explained it to her so that she would not be shocked all the time.

"it is good."

Seeing that he wanted to explain, Runa Igarashi naturally listened attentively.

After a pause, Hikaru Kurosawa sorted out his thoughts, took a pen and paper on the table next to him, and explained to her in detail while writing and drawing:
"Sony's contract, the superficial income is the copyright of 10 songs, 5% of the album sales profit, and the promotion of streaming music software.

The first is the copyright of songs. The physical record market is sluggish. Sony’s revenue last year was 7.7 million US dollars, which is about 1000 billion yen, which can be converted into Sony’s sales of 3000 million albums.

Assuming that I sell 300 million copies of an album every year, and sell 10 million copies in 3000 years, according to 55% of the share, simple and crude calculations, it is a profit of 500 billion.

But in fact, what Sony's contract asked me for was not an album and the copyright of 10 songs, but 60 songs. "

"60 songs?"

Igarashi Runai was dumbfounded and couldn't help interrupting.

Isn't this buying ten songs?How did it become 60 songs.

"Sony's requirement for me is to take at least two promotional shoots a year, that is, the image spokesperson. A new album in two years, if each album has 2 songs, that is 10 songs."

Kurosawa glanced at her and explained.

This kind of sales is because he underestimated, because his performance of the perfect piano is too explosive.

For him now, even if he puts aside the classic masterpieces of his previous life, he can play casually with the sound of nature.

"I see."

Igarashi Runai looked at the diagram he was drawing while talking, and immediately understood.

Immediately, Kurosawa continued to explain to her.

"Even if there are 5 albums, and each album sells 1000 million copies, that's 5000 million copies sold, which is 1600 billion sales."

"Sony's streaming media market revenue last year was 63.7 billion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to 8754 billion yen. This market is far better than the physical album market. It is the trend of the times. The larger the number, the more difficult it is to calculate. When my album sales are 100 billion a year in revenue, that's 1000 billion.

However, for Sony, the most valuable part of this contract is that it can help Sony consolidate its position as the number one streaming media, and its value is difficult to estimate. "

"1800 billion?"

Igarashi Runai watched him write down the calculation (500+800+500=Sony profit) on the paper, and was immediately shocked.

It's not too early to be profitable, because Sony took the initiative to contact for cooperation, and the active contact, in fact, she can vaguely feel that Sony must have a conspiracy, and it can make money.

But what she didn't expect was that Sony could make so much money.

"Now you understand why I said they were not sincere?"

Seeing her shocked little expression, Kurosawa felt a little funny and cute.

"understood."

Igarashi Ryuna nodded.

Kurosawa's calculation this time, coupled with the diagram, is equivalent to stuffing the answer into her mouth.

No wonder Kurosawa heard the asking price of 130 billion and 300 billion, but still felt that Sony was insincere, and the price was too low.

Suddenly, she thought of another dimension, and her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Because Sony and Zero Hour Office share a 55% share, that is to say, how much Sony can earn is the same for Zero Hour Office.

"Sony can earn at least 1800 billion. It is completely wishful thinking to give 300 billion to 1500 billion. And this is my conservative estimate. Sony signs this contract with me, and their profit is at least 3000 billion."

Seeing that she really understood this time, Hikaru Kurosawa did not forget to add.

"Is this still conservative? What about an aggressive estimate?"

Igarashi Runai was once again shocked by the number he said, and asked.

"For Sony, the value of cooperation with us is at least 6000 billion."

Kurosawa thought for a while, and made a bold guess.

Sony's music division, that is, Sony Music Entertainment, had a turnover of 1.37 trillion last year and a profit of 2650 billion.

Putting aside these superficial figures, market influence, equity, company image, industry status, comprehensive copyright operation and other comprehensive aspects, cooperating with him, for Sony, the value is 6000 billion, which is not too much.

"Wow……"

Igarashi Runa didn't even know what expression to use to respond, she just felt dumbfounded.

She had expected a long time ago that cooperating with a super company of Sony's level would definitely make a lot of money... But isn't this too crazy?Is this how money is made?
"Anyway, I'm in charge of this contract, you just have to watch it."

Seeing her shocked little expression, Hikaru Kurosawa was a little amused, and also warned.

It is no exaggeration to say that this cooperation is the most important cooperation for Zero Time Office.

He can't be sure of his own value. After all, he has been a shopkeeper for a long time, and he is not in the industry. He doesn't have much time to investigate, and he doesn't know much about the entertainment and music circles.

However, after taking over the proposal, relying on his financial knowledge and conducting market research, he still has a general understanding of his own value.

300 billion just want to eat cake with him, what kind of sincerity is this?
You know, there is a market competition relationship between Sony, Apple, and Penguin.

The pressure of competition will invisibly raise the price. For these three companies, as long as the price is not too outrageous, they will definitely make a profit without losing money.

In fact, Zero Hour Office can actually sell albums independently instead of cooperating with the three companies, and can hold profits in all aspects.

It's a pity that Zero Hour Office is too small. It was founded not long ago and there are not many employees. It is very difficult to independently produce and release albums.

In the first ten years, first cooperate with one of these three large companies to maximize the benefits.

When in the second decade, when you have enough funds and contacts, you can choose to sell independently, and Zero Hour will be able to transform itself into a behemoth in the music industry.

"It's up to you... Then how much will they ask you to be satisfied? 1000 billion yen is not a small amount. Even for big companies like Sony, Penguin, and Apple, it is not easy for them to pay it out in one go."

Igarashi Runa realized the importance of this cooperation, and completely put aside the idea of ​​interrupting and pointing fingers, just curious.

She really wanted to know how this cooperation would end.

Although she didn't work at Sony, she knew that a company's actual working capital was not as much as people thought.

During this period of time, she was busy with her spare time every day, reading books and looking up information to recharge herself, and wanted to make herself a qualified boss.

"1000 billion yen may seem like a lot, but in fact it is just that. Their random acquisition of a company is more than this kind of cooperation."

Kurosawa has a different view on this.

Perhaps 1000 billion yen, for many companies in Neon, they cannot afford such a large sum of money.

But for Sony, Penguin, and Apple, this little money is basically harmless.

"indeed."

Although Runa Igarashi was shocked, he agreed after thinking about it.

Thinking about it carefully, the companies she knows are not at the same level as super companies like Sony, Penguin, and Apple.

It's just that what she didn't realize for a while was... this concept is actually unequal.

You must know that for any large enterprise, the acquisition of a company is a strategic decision and a great deal of strategic layout.

"In fact, their asking price is not the most important thing. The key is other conditions, such as the condition of sales share. If a company can offer a ratio of 73 or 82, let alone 300 billion, I will sign the contract even if it is 130 billion. We’re not in a hurry to spend money.”

The more Kurosawa pondered, the clearer his thoughts became.

A one-off price buyout is just a stepping stone to cooperation, and it is good to be able to see the sincerity of cooperation.

The bulk of the profits of this cooperation still lies in the sharing.

Of course, if a company is willing to offer a super high price, it is not impossible for him to package and sell it directly.

At this moment, Runa Igarashi's cell phone rang, and she picked it up to take a look.

"Is it a penguin or an apple?"

This cooperation is of great importance, Kurosawa asked more concerned.

Although he said he is not interested in money, but if there is a lot of money, he is still very interested.

After all, the balance in his bank card is not so much that money is just a number.

"It's Qianhe, should I pick it up?"

Igarashi Ryuna shook her head, pointed the phone screen at him with one side of her wrist, and let him see it, feeling a little nervous.

"Sure, why not? We are working, not in bed. Are you afraid that she will catch you? And she knows that I am with you. I told her last night that I will talk about work with you today. "

Kurosawa found that the remark was really Chizuru, felt her nervousness, and was immediately happy.

"You said it earlier."

Igarashi Runa reacted, realized that there was no need to be nervous, coughed lightly twice to cover up her embarrassment, and gave him a blank look.

Immediately, she connected to the phone and took the initiative to speak:
"Qianhe, what's wrong?"

"Runa, how did the contract discussion go today?"

Although there was no loudspeaker, Kurosawa Hikaru's hearing was very keen. When he pricked up his ears, he heard Chizuru's voice coming from the microphone.

"The talk is not very good. Sony, Penguin, and Apple are not sincere. It depends on the follow-up."

Igarashi Ryuna shook her head and responded.

"Good things take time, don't worry, is Kurosawa by your side? Or is he going back?"

"He's by my side and hasn't come home yet."

"You asked him to check his phone, and I sent him a message, but he didn't check it."

"Did you call me just to let him read the message you sent?"

"Correct."

"You are going too far. You called me, but you ended up looking for someone else."

At the same time, hearing their conversation, Kurosawa also took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened Line to read the information.

Because he has too many girlfriends, he is always with a certain girl, in order to avoid being seen and making people jealous, so unless he is free or returning home, he rarely reads information.

Looking at it, he found that Sister Qianhe really sent a message:
"Heisawa, the Mercedes-Benz dealership sent me a message saying that they contacted you, but you didn't answer the phone or reply to the message."

"The car dealer said that the Maybach we booked will arrive at 5:27 this afternoon, and asked when you will pick up the car."

"Tomorrow."

When Kurosawa saw these two messages, his heart moved, and he replied immediately.

Just kidding, since the ordered car has arrived, of course the sooner you drive it, the better.
