Chapter 100 Macro Narratives
"One package price, "Blue and White Porcelain" 800 million, the other two songs 500 ​​million, ten years of exclusive authorization, during the authorization period, Hummingbird Entertainment can enjoy all the copyright benefits generated by this song, and can also designate singers to repackage these three songs. songs. Of course we're free to play around with bands and use those songs."

Yu Hongwei simply made an offer directly.

Guo Qiming's eyes twitched, and then he became serious, and said disdainfully, "Student Yu, do you have any misunderstanding about the price in the song copyright market?"

Yu Hongwei smiled and replied: "It's not that I have misunderstood, but that you want to bully me because I don't understand the market. Yes, if it is a new song that has not been tested by the market, it is indeed impossible to sell it at this price. The problem now is that we These three songs of the band have been tested by the market, and it can even be said to have exploded, so our price is not only not expensive, it can even be said to be a cheap sale.

The reason why we are willing to trade in this way is simply because our band does not have the time and energy to deeply cultivate this area.After all, the main members of our band will go to Jinghan University to study next year.So if you still want to bargain for such a generous price, there is really no need for us to continue the discussion.However, although the price cannot be negotiated, since you are the first entertainment company to talk to us, we can give you a discount. "

"Oh? What discount?" Guo Qiming asked calmly.

"From now to September next year, if our band creates another excellent song that is recognized by the market, Hummingbird Entertainment has the right of first refusal." Yu Hongwei said leisurely, with the expression on his face clearly saying: "Brother, you earn money!" big."

Guo Qiming smiled wryly.

Although Principal Lu told him that the high school student in front of him had been admitted by Jinghan University in advance, he had a premonition that today's negotiation would not go well.But he really didn't expect it to be so bad.

Are all high school students smart now?
In the simple conversation, he also tried to overwhelm others, pretending to be disdainful, etc., but obviously these were of no use.

He even felt that the reason given by the other party was justified...

Especially the kind of self-confidence exuded from the bones made Guo Qiming feel unacceptable.

Children nowadays really lack frustration education!
"No, what gave you the confidence to create music that can be popular in the market?" Guo Qiming asked with a smile.

Yu Hongwei smiled and said: "Of course it is because of past achievements. In fact, we still have another idea, that is, instead of selling the copyright, let's sign a gambling agreement.

For example, if our next song is released on the entire network, you will buy it at double the negotiated price if it achieves a quantitative effect. If it doubles the agreed effect, you will buy it at three times the price.

Of course, if the results agreed by both of us are not achieved, our price can be halved or even lower.You know, we're a band that just plays around, so we love the challenge. "

"Oh? Then what do you think is the appropriate quantitative standard?"

Guo Qiming's eyes lit up. This is probably the only turning point today. After all, pride is probably the biggest enemy of these children.

"Calculating from the day when the band's new song was released, within a week, our official small video account had more than [-] million views, more than one million likes, and more than [-] retweets. This data is probably consistent with "Blue and White Porcelain."

Yu Hongwei gave the answer fluently.

Just seeing that this guy didn't think at all when he answered, he knew that this was already discussed within the band, and he was really so confident.

Guo Qiming shook his head and said: "Internet communication has certain rules. With the popularity of casually playing bands, it is not very difficult to achieve this statistic. It is not necessarily because the song itself is excellent."

Yu Hongwei smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's talk about a standard."

Guo Qiming thought for a while and said, "This is still a one-week time limit. But within a week, the number of plays needs to exceed 2000 million, likes to 200 million, reposts to 20, and comments to exceed [-]. If you have enough confidence in the new song, basically As long as the quality is comparable to "Blue and White Porcelain" online, plus the popularity of casual bands, it is not too difficult to reach this figure within a week."

Yu Hongwei began to think.

Guo Qiming added fire: "If you agree, I will call everyone this afternoon, and we will sign the contract directly."

"Wait for me to make a call." Yu Hongwei glanced at him, Guo Qiming said something, then stood up and walked out of the school's living room reserved for the two to talk.

In less than a minute, Yu Hongwei walked in again and said, "Okay, just follow the standard you said. But we can't sign a contract this afternoon, we have to wait until tomorrow."

"Oh why?"

"Our band doesn't know much about the law. So we want to ask Hanwei Group's legal department to connect with you and draft the contract together."

"Ah? Hanwei Group?" Guo Qiming was stunned, and then he felt that the intelligence work was too rough. Who would have thought that a band formed by high school students could have a relationship with a leading high-tech company in China.

"Yes. Because the lead singer of our band has a good relationship with Hanwei Group, this matter has been agreed in advance. Because the legal counsel dispatched by Hanwei Group will arrive from Shenzhou tonight at the earliest, so signing the contract is only a matter of time." I can wait until tomorrow. What? Mr. Guo is not trying to play tricks in the contract to deceive us students who are not deeply involved in the world?"

"How is this possible? Then tomorrow morning, I will find someone to come over and let's sign the contract." Guo Qiming gritted his teeth and said.

At this time, he is really not good at going back on his word.After all, it's not just the Hummingbird Entertainment family who are staring at this casual band.

Guo Qiming has a feeling that if he has already talked about this, and he changes his mind because of Hanwei Group's legal affairs, there is a high probability that he will be directly dragged into the cooperation blacklist by these high school students, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Originally, according to the past practice, there must be some clauses in the contract that are beneficial to the employer.

But this time if the other party raised it, Guo Qiming decided to give in.

Anyway, the standards he raised are already extremely harsh.Guo Qiming doesn't think this budding band can really achieve this achievement.

The rookies they praised back then spent huge sums of money on publicity, but they couldn't achieve this effect, let alone a rookie band that popped up by accident.Past achievements are not indicative of the future.Engage in communication, they are professionals!

……

Liu Zhixin was also in a state of confusion at this time.

If you want to say who is the most surprised by the popularity of the casual play band, it must be the chairman of the Hanwei Group.

Of course he is very clear about his daughter's abilities.

Although Liu Zhixin never denied Liu Xiaohan's excellence, he certainly knew that his daughter would not suddenly have a genius composition ability.

Coincidentally, not long ago, his own daughter had just said in front of him that Ning Qing could be praised by Master Lin for his creative ability.

So Liu Zhixin naturally has his own judgment on who created these popular songs. ,
Against the sky!
A high school student with amazing music talent is not unusual, and a high school student with amazing math talent is not unusual, but a high school student with amazing music and math talent, who also understands chips and human nature is really too heaven-defying.

This guy Ning Qing seems to be able to succeed in everything. This is not just the result of hard work. Liu Zhixin feels that it also includes a bit of luck.

For self-made entrepreneurs, Liu Zhixin really believes this.Of course, what he believed in was not fate, but luck.

Ning Qing is not only capable, but also a person with luck.

This is Liu Zhixin's truest thought at this moment.And from this point of view, Ning Qing made money by choosing to be with Liu Xiaohan.In other words, Hanwei Group has made a profit.

No reminder, Ning Qing is his luck.

This is probably the reason why this young man can almost get anything he wants as long as he opens his mouth now.

Even if there are some things, he feels quite unreasonable.

……

The next day, when signing the contract, Yu Hongwei was full of confidence and did not hesitate at all.

But after the agreement was signed, the band manager began to feel a little uneasy.

After all, Hummingbird Entertainment's requirements are indeed higher, and it is obvious that the other party is more professional than them in matters such as hype and traffic.

The most important thing is that this is a large contract worth eight figures, and it may even reach nine figures if extreme conditions are met.

After all, he is a child born in an ordinary family, and he has never seen such a large sum of money, so his heart is naturally a little drummed.

Fortunately, Yu Hongwei had a place to relieve the pressure. As soon as the contract was signed, he ran to the school's music classroom and found Ning Qing who was discussing with Liu Xiaohan about the arrangement of the new song. Is this new song really more popular than "Blue and White Porcelain"?"

Ning Qing glared at Yu Hongwei, not because he was dissatisfied with this guy's lack of confidence in the new song, but mainly because he felt that this guy was reckless and would interrupt classmate Xiaohan who was thinking about how to arrange the song.It was indeed disturbing, because when the guy asked that sentence just now, the girl looked up at the two of them.

Arranging music is a very interesting and brain-intensive task, and Xiaohan looks really beautiful when she is thinking seriously...

"Did you see that no one is busy? Go out and talk about something." Ning Qing gave a casual lesson, and then walked out of the door with her hands behind her back.

Yu Hongwei stuck out his tongue subconsciously.

Although I was reminding myself that Ning Qing was my younger brother, the relationship between the two was not superior or inferior.But as a series of things happened, Yu Hongwei found that it was difficult for him to find the feeling of playing with Ning Qing freely.

They are obviously the same age, but Yu Hongwei really read such a different temperament from Ning Qing, or the aura of a superior.

He doesn't need to talk much, just a look can make his heart start beating.

Just like this moment.

If the former Ning Qing talked to him like this, he would have to refute no matter what.

But at this moment, he just followed Ning Qing obediently and walked out of the music classroom, not daring to say a word back.

This is probably growth, right?

……

"Did you sign the contract?" Ning Qing asked while leaning on the railing in the corridor of the teaching building, looking at the playground in the distance.

"Well, it's signed. The two lawyers from Hanwei Group have carefully reviewed the contract and said that there is no problem. The standard is set according to what Guo Qiming said before." Yu Hongwei replied quickly.

If Zhou Yan was by the side at this time and saw the conversation between the two, he would have to laugh at Yu Hongwei for looking like a subordinate reporting like a leader.

This is true.

"I've already signed the contract, why are you still worrying about gains and losses? How many times have I told you, don't be too smug. Don't say that we are just playing for fun, even if this is really something serious, anyway, there is nothing to do Sorry."

Ning Qing began to teach by precept and example again.

"This is not the first time to sign such a big contract. It feels a little special. So I want to know what you think and whether you have confidence." Yu Hongwei explained in a sarcastic manner.

Ning Qing withdrew his gaze, glanced at Yu Hongwei, and said, "You will find out when you go to Peking-Han University to study finance as an undergraduate. No, it should be said that after you have experienced a lot, you will find that if you want to satisfy you It is impossible to have a [-]% success if there is no income, and wealth is always sought in danger, what we can do is to do our best to achieve the impossible in the eyes of others."

"But if we are not so greedy and only take the most basic income, we can still achieve our goal. I think that as long as we persist, Guo Qiming will definitely agree to the original offer. In this way, we can securely get 100 million , Wouldn’t that make a profit directly? This is much safer than that contract. If the performance of the new song is not satisfactory in the end, we may only get more than 300 million.”

Yu Hongwei said puzzledly.

"Why don't you think about the benefits we can get? If the data effect of the new song is three times that of the other party's standard, we can sell 800 million for three songs, and if it is four times, we can get 7000 million. Don't you think From this point of view, this contract is actually Hummingbird Entertainment’s loss? They dared to sign this contract, but it was based on the judgment of past experience, but past experience is not necessarily correct.”

Ning Qing explained tirelessly.

To train Yu Hongwei into a right-hand man, these things cannot be bypassed.

If it was a different person, Ning Qing would not explain a word at all.

"Is this the thinking of a gambler?"

"Wrong! This is the thinking of financial operations. Gamblers gamble on probability, but the law of large numbers interferes with it. In the end, there is no other option but to lose everything. And the contract we signed this time can only earn more or less. This option does not have the possibility of losing money. Of course, I do not mean that you will not dare to lose money in the future. In fact, any capital operation will inevitably involve losses. As long as it is within the acceptable range and profitable, you can It can be readily accepted."

"...No, do you think we can get in touch with a larger amount of business in the future?"

"It's not that I think, it's for sure! People as awesome as us are going to do big things in the future. Tens of millions are nothing. Remember, what we want to do in the future is a big business worth hundreds of billions or trillions. Then That’s the real macro narrative.”
