Chapter 2845 If you can’t change, join

Having said business, Zhou Buqi wants to withdraw.

Xu Baihui said angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry? We haven't talked about anything serious yet."

Zhou Buqi sighed and sat down again, "There's nothing to say. Anyway, I won't contact Hua Yi anymore. Please introduce the rest to me. This kind of person is not worthy of being a brother. If you If you know anyone, please help me find it. I want to sell all the Huayi stocks I have. "

Xu Baihui said strangely: "Didn't you say that Boss Ma is very interested in the entertainment industry? Sell it to him!"

Zhou Buqi said: "He was quite interested, but he obviously wanted to enter the market on his own. He didn't want to buy it, so he established Alibaba Pictures. I sold the tradable shares directly in the stock market, and some restricted shares. Everything will be sold within a year. The same goes for Jieyu Media, and we will try our best to sell it.”

"That's not possible." Xu Baihui shook her head slightly, "Jieyu Media still needs to maintain a strategic cooperative relationship with Huayi. Just like the ticket purchase website you just mentioned, with the joint promotion of Jieyu Media and Huayi, in It has more appeal in the industry.”

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, I don't plan to have anything to do with Hua Yi."

Xu Baihui pursed her lips and looked at him with a half-smile, "Do you like ethnic minorities?"

Zhou Buqi coughed and said, "It's a different style. I just want to experience it."

"I'll make arrangements for you!"

"no, I'm fine!"

"It's okay, I'll pay attention first." Xu Baihui knew that Boss Zhou had a picky taste and didn't like to eat leftovers. "This time "Produce 101" is so successful. The first female group has already started performing nationwide. What's next? There will definitely be more people signing up for the second season. I will pay special attention to those from ethnic minorities."

Zhou Buqi looked unconcerned and said, "Whatever, you and Yang Mi can make arrangements."

Xu Baihui said with emotion: "The price of meat is rising so fast now."

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, I saw the news, it seems that the price of pork is more than 20 yuan."

Xu Baihui rolled her eyes, and then said with emotion: "A few years ago, when I remember Yang Mi and Jiang Bingjie, two to three million a year was enough. A big star on the first line, five hundred a year. Wan Ye won it. It’s different now, the prices have skyrocketed. Not to mention the famous celebrities in the industry, even the little girls in these girl groups are asking for sky-high prices.”

"How much?"

"Eight figures."

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi still had to calculate the level of these eight digits.

Xu Baihui said: "As for the Wu Xuanyi you met in the United States before, I came forward to talk to her, and the price was 15 million. After a few words, we settled on 10 million. There are five girls in total, and the others Even if the ranking is not as good as hers, I won’t be able to get down even if I don’t have 7 or 8 million.”

"Where are they? Bring them over and have a look."

Zhou Buqi also knows that everything is expensive now.

Xu Baihui said: "But the price in South Korea is low."

"Um?"

"That's one-tenth of the number in China. If you find one in China, you can find ten in South Korea. I have already scouted a dozen of them, all of them are yellow girls, and I have contacted all the brokerage companies. Keep it all. When you are free, I will help you arrange it.”

"If you don't work hard, are you busy with this every day?"

Zhou Buqi was a little angry and felt that she was not doing her job properly.

Xu Baihui snorted, "Don't think that I don't know the main purpose of your coming here today. You originally wanted to relax outside, but I didn't expect that Wang Xiaolei was playing with the leftovers, so you came here to see what I prepared for you. These little beauties, right?”

Zhou Buqi said: "I just stopped by to take a look."

Xu Baihui gloated and said, "It's a pity, it's too late! I asked you to come a few days ago but you didn't come, and now they have gone to perform in other places. If you want to have fun and relax, you have to wait until next week. When they come back, I Let me tell you... why don't you find a place and I'll send a car to take them all there."

"Let's talk about it later!" Zhou Buqi suddenly lost interest, "I'm going to the United States tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll come back. Forget it, let's talk about it later, um... Nannan said she was bullied last time ,what happened?"

Xu Baihui waved her hand, "Isn't it just about the entertainment industry? A second generation fell in love with her and kept pestering her. She still has some connections in the family."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What happened next?"

Xu Baihui said: "I'm looking for Meng Houkun. He said that my sister was pestered by a bastard and threatened not to let her hang out in the circle. There were five or six people involved. Meng Houkun found a few people the next day. , I beat that kid so hard that his ribs seemed to be broken.”

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Isn't that true?"

Xu Baihui said nonchalantly: "The big fish eats the small fish. We in their circle don't understand. Anyway, it was solved later, and that guy came over to apologize. By the way, Meng Houkun said he would invite me to join Yuan. The Board of Directors of Wei Group.”

"oh."

"Should I go?"

"Go if you like, don't go if you don't want to go, this is our own territory, shouldn't we just do whatever we want?"

…

Zhou Buqi set off for the United States.

Also accompanying him was Zhou Shaoning.

Let’s go to Qualcomm to negotiate together.

According to the feedback he received from Senior Sister Zhen Yu, Zhou Buqi is not too optimistic about this negotiation, "It is estimated that there will be no results. The bundled sales model has brought such great benefits to others, and it is difficult to promote it internally." stand up."

Zhou Shaoning sighed: "It's really hard to understand why such strict anti-monopoly mechanisms in Europe and the United States allow various bundled sales models to exist. If this were done in China, it would have been rectified by relevant departments long ago."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Isn't that what you said? Spotify knows, right? I just reported something recently, saying that their negotiations with Universal Music have failed. It is possible that they will wait until the contract expires in February next year." Will lose all song copyrights from Universal Music.”

"Why?"

"Bundle sale!"

"ah?"

"Spotify is a streaming music player with very detailed statistics." Zhou Buqi gave a simple explanation, "Data analysis is originally the strength of Internet companies. They found that many songs are too niche. , compared with the few listening rates, the copyright price is too high, so I want to give up these less popular songs and only purchase the copyrights of some more popular songs.”

Zhou Shaoning suddenly realized, "Universal Records doesn't agree?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, they want to play with bundling. Those bad songs that no one listens to are bundled with hot songs and sold together, or they are not sold at all."

Universal Music Group has nothing to do with Universal Pictures.

It has long been separated.

Now Ziweixing Global’s music business is EMI Records.

Music also belongs to the entertainment industry. Several major record giants are all branched out from Hollywood, which really brings out the essence of the bundled sales model.

When it comes to monopoly, this is even more serious than the monopoly in the chip industry.

The world's music market is almost divided between Warner Records, Sony Records, Universal Records and EMI Records. A decision by any one of them can determine the trend of the music copyright market. But this bundled sales model has been around for decades, but no one cares about it and it is considered a legitimate business.

Zhou Shaoning asked: "What should we do?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I told Spotify that I would accept Universal Music's bundling plan."

Zhou Shaoning said helplessly: "It's a gray area!"

Zhou Buqi was not that angry about this.

If you can't change it, then join it.

He had already taken back EMI Records.

Universal Music Group makes a lot of money from bundling, and so does EMI Music.
