Chapter 117 Negotiating Cooperation with PolyGram Records
When Li Zetian returned home, it was about 8 o'clock in the evening. He first sat in the living room for a while, chatting with his parents and little Qiqi, and then went to the gym.
"Oh, there is no harm without comparison! Bruce Lee is much older than me, and the strength and speed of his punches are simply scary!" Li Zetian shook his head, sighed slightly, and then took out "Bruce Lee's Martial Arts", Start researching.
Learning martial arts can not only strengthen your body, but also help you defend yourself!
Li Zetian thought that as his wealth increased, there would be criminals who would covet his property and kidnap him! Neighbor Li Jiacheng is a living example. It is true that you can hire bodyguards to protect yourself and your family, but wouldn't it be better if you also have the ability to protect yourself? Besides, if your health is not good, what will you do with your sexual life in the future? If it doesn't last, what should I do if I feel sorry for Yu Jingqiu? So, you have to exercise from now on!
…
Early the next morning, Li Zetian suddenly felt soreness in his back and numbness in his legs. But this is normal. People who don’t exercise often, and suddenly exercise hard, will naturally feel sore all over the next day!
After Li Zetian finished washing, he walked to the spacious balcony, breathed in the fresh air, looked at Victoria Harbor, and then started playing Jeet Kune Do. There are guardrails on the balcony, so you don't have to worry about flying out. Even if you jump too high and fly out, there is still a swimming pool below.
Exercise requires perseverance. Fishing for three days and drying the net for two days will not have any effect. Li Zetian is a person with great perseverance. Once he decides on something, he will stick to it to the end.
"Son, you woke up so early!" Xiao Zhixuan said in surprise. Li Zetian often stayed up late, went to bed late and woke up late, usually waking up around 8:30. Xiao Zhixuan glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only 6:40 in the morning.
Xiao Zhixuan shook her head. It was strange. Why did her son get up so early to exercise? But it was good. Going to bed early and getting up early was good for your health...
"Son, let me make you a glass of milk."
"Okay, thank you, Mom!" Li Zetian gasped.
After half an hour of boxing, Li Zetian was completely soaked. After drinking the milk his mother had made for him, he went to the bathroom and took a shower.
When he came out, the maids had already prepared breakfast.
While eating breakfast, the home phone rang.
"Master, Mr. Polly Lane, Chase Bank's Asia executive director, is looking for you!" the maid said.
Li Zetian took out a napkin and wiped his mouth, stood up, and went to answer the call.
"Hello, Mr. Polly Lane, I'm Chronos."
"Hello, Mr. Li, Mr. Thomas Rockefeller wants to talk to you personally." Polly Lane said.
Li Zetian thought about his next itinerary and replied: "Okay, please reply to him. I will be waiting for him at Apple headquarters at 12 o'clock noon on February 15th!"
"Okay, Mr. Li."
After that, the two ended the call.
In the following days, Li Zetian seized the time to deal with the affairs in Hong Kong, but he would still go to Bruce Lee's martial arts school to study when he had time. Even if Bruce Lee was not there, his most famous disciples were there. Someone taught him step by step, and he learned more than himself. quick.
On the morning of February 8, after breakfast, Li Zetian saw Qiqi playing outside and deliberately avoided her. He said to Li Chengzhi and Xiao Zhixuan in the living room: "Mom, Dad, after breakfast, I am leaving Hong Kong... Don’t tell Qiqi that I’m leaving, lest she cry and won’t let me go.”
Li Chengzhi and Xiao Zhixuan both nodded.
Li Chengzhi asked: "Are you going back to the United States?"
"No, I want to go to England first and then go back to the United States."
"What are you doing in England?"
"Discuss cooperation with Polygram Records." Li Zetian said.
“Isn’t there a PolyGram record company in Hong Kong?”
"That's a branch. PolyGram Records is headquartered in London, England." Li Zetian explained.
"Son, just leave some things to your subordinates to do. You, a big boss, are flying all over the world." Xiao Zhixuan said distressedly.
"Mom, PolyGram Records is the most famous and largest record company in the world. Its importance is self-evident. I went there in person. This shows that Apple is sincere. In addition, PolyGram Records is not a simple company. record company, which was formed by the merger of a record company and Gramophone Industries, a subsidiary of Philips. Do you know about music tapes? You must also know that recording music onto music tapes requires certain recording production technology, right? This is the strength of PolyGram, or to be precise, the strength of the Philips gramophone industry!
Dolby Laboratories' Dolby Noise Reduction technology only reduces noise and is not good at music recording technology.
In addition, Apple's launch of the Walkman tape player and music tape standards require the support of record companies! If you can get the support of PolyGram Records, the largest record company in the world, it means half the battle is won. It will be much easier to negotiate cooperation with other record companies later! "For more details, Li Zetian hasn't said anything yet. By cooperating with PolyGram, he can not only get the support of the record company, but also reach a cooperative relationship with Philips to jointly develop CD standards in the future! As for Sony, where is the coolness? Where to go...
"Oh, that's it!" Xiao Zhixuan nodded.
"I went to get my luggage. I packed it last night. The driver is waiting for me outside now."
"Um."
Soon, Li Zetian quietly walked out with his suitcase, got into a black car and left. At about 10 o'clock in the morning, he took a plane to London, England.
Qiqi later learned that Brother Zetian was gone, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. Xiao Zhixuan comforted her by saying that as long as Qiqi studied hard at home, Brother Zetian would come back to see her.
In order to get Li Zetian to come back to see her, Qiqi became a top student!
This is something for later, let’s not talk about it for now.
That evening, the plane arrived in London, and the head of Apple's British branch was already waiting at the airport.
On the way to the hotel, Li Zetian asked the person in charge: "Have you contacted PolyGram Records?"
"I contacted him and he told me to meet at noon tomorrow."
"very good."
"Chairman, this is the detailed information we collected about PolyGram Records, Apple's development here, and information about some partners, all here!"
Li Zetian nodded, took the information, and began to look through it.
A dozen minutes later, the car arrived at a five-star hotel where a room had been booked.
Li Zetian put the suitcase in the room and then asked the hotel to send a dinner to the room.
After dinner, Li Zetian continued to read the information.
After reading all the information, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening.
At this time, Li Zetian felt his shoulders were sore, so he stood up, stretched out his hands, and moved his shoulders. If it weren't for the spaciousness here, he might even have to do a set of boxing techniques.
After that, I put on the hot water and took a comfortable hot bath in the bathtub.
The next day, noon.
Li Zetian came to the headquarters of PolyGram Records.
"Mr. Li, welcome to PolyGram Records!" The first person to greet Li Zetian was Mr. Hugo Rhodes, Chairman and CEO of PolyGram Records.
Li Zetian knew him because he had read the information.
"Hello, Mr. Hugo Rhodes!"
"Mr. Li, it seems that you have a connection with our PolyGram record company! According to the news from PolyGram Records Hong Kong branch, you once composed songs for our company!"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, thinking, Haha, it's fate, I will buy you guys in the future...
