Chapter 475 Still not sincere (updated today)

Reading the plan is time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Because the plan letter means cooperation, and business cooperation involves money, the result is that a contract must be signed.

Having said that, although Igarashi Runa was involved in contracts worth tens of billions or more and was overwhelmed by the huge numbers, she could still keep a calm eye on contracts of hundreds of millions and billions.

Kurosawa Hikaru looked through the filtered planning documents and felt very happy.

He felt like the boss of a big company. He traveled around the world on weekdays, took time out to go back and forth to the company, and had a beautiful secretary by his side to handle the stacked contracts.

"yes."

"I want to ask Mr. Zero Hour about this first. I wonder if he is free."

Igarashi Runa received a call. After a simple conversation, she pressed her finger on the phone and said:

"Kurosawa, Sony said they hope to interview again tomorrow."

"Give me the phone."

Kurosawa Hikaru, who was reading the plan with his legs crossed, was silent for a while, stretched out his hand and said.

"Who are you?"

After receiving the call, Kurosawa Hikaru was the first to ask.

"Mr. Zero Hour, my name is Takeda Ema. We met in the morning."

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

"I'll be free tomorrow morning, but whether or not we need an interview depends on the conditions you offer and whether you're sincere."

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

"Mr. Lingshi, we have absolutely no intention of fooling you, and the conditions this time will definitely satisfy you."

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

Hearing her confident tone, Kurosawa twitched the corners of his lips and asked.

"The guaranteed minimum price of the contract has been increased to 30 billion, and other conditions and requirements remain unchanged."

When Takeda Ema faced his problems, he was not afraid to speak out and was full of confidence.

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

A contract with a minimum guarantee of 30 billion yen is a super-large contract that can shock the industry globally.

Because Kurosawa Hikaru turned on the loudspeaker, Igarashi Runa on the side heard 30 billion, and her beautiful eyes widened.

With the conditions and requirements unchanged, he only refused once, and in less than a day, the price soared to 30 billion... No wonder Kurosawa said Sony was not sincere.

"Is this considered sincerity?"

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

He thought that after being rejected once, Sony realized the problem and would take a serious attitude when asking for cooperation a second time. But this is the result?

"Isn't this sincerity?"

Takeda Ema, who was originally confident, was made less confident by his dissatisfied and questioning tone.

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

Because she has never seen the decision-making speed of the upper management be so fast... I am afraid it is because the two powerful enemies, Apple and Penguin, are eyeing the results.

"It doesn't count."

Kurosawa Hikaru said firmly.

"Then what does it take to be sincere?"

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

"If the price is increased several times according to your company's requirements, I may agree."

Kurosawa Hikaru made a rough estimate and was not sure about it.

"How many times?"

Takeda Ema took a breath of air and felt her head was buzzing.

How many times 30 billion? Isn’t that hundreds of billions? Does he think the money is blown by the strong wind?

Let alone 100 billion, even 30 billion, she has never seen so much money in her life.

"If you don't want to pay such a price, you can lower your requirements appropriately. According to your company's requirements, my price is this, and I may not agree."

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't think that what he said was shocking, he just expressed his thoughts.

"..."

Takeda Ema realized that he was not joking, and was speechless for a moment.

"This is not something you can decide. You just need to convey my request. If your company is willing to agree to my request, then call us. If not, there is no need to call."

Kurosawa Hikaru knew that her position and status were not high, so he hung up the phone forcefully without talking nonsense to her.

"Kurosawa, are you serious? 30 billion will be doubled several times."

Seeing him hang up the phone, Igarashi Runa couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I'm serious."

Kurosawa Hikaru nodded and affirmed.

"How could they agree to such conditions..."

"They are likely to agree, because the contract proposed by Sony is conservatively estimated to earn hundreds of billions."

"Can they make that much?"

Igarashi Runa didn't understand and was shocked.

"Let me calculate an account for you. You will understand after listening to it."

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

"good."

When Runa Igarashi saw that he wanted to explain, he was naturally all ears.

After a pause, Kurosawa organized his thoughts, took a pen and paper on the table next to him, and explained to her in detail while writing:

“The superficial benefits of Sony’s contract are the copyright of 10 songs, 50% of the profits from album sales, and the promotion of streaming music software.

The first is song copyright. The physical record market is sluggish. Sony's revenue last year was US$770 million, which is about 100 billion yen, which can be converted into Sony selling 30 million albums.

Just assume that I sell 3 million copies of an album every year, and if I sell 30 million copies in 10 years, based on a 55-50 split, a simple and rough calculation would be a profit of 50 billion.

But in fact, what Sony’s contract requires from me is not the copyright of an album or 10 songs, but 60 songs.”

"60 songs?"

Igarashi Runa was confused and couldn't help but interrupt.

Isn’t this buying ten songs? Why does it become 60 songs?

"Sony's requirement for me is to shoot at least two promotions a year, which is also the image spokesperson. A new album every two years is treated as 10 songs per album, that is 50 songs."

Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at her and explained.

Such sales were underestimated by him because the performance of his perfect piano was so explosive.

Now, even if he puts aside the classic masterpieces from his previous life, he can still play with the sound of nature.

"I see."

Igarashi Runa looked at the illustrations he drew in circles while talking, and immediately understood.

Immediately, Kurosawa Hikaru continued to explain to her.

"Even if there are 5 albums, each album sells 10 million copies, that's 50 million copies, which adds up to 160 billion in sales."

"Sony's revenue from the streaming media market last year was US$6.37 billion, which is equivalent to 875.4 billion yen. This market is far better than the physical album market, which is the trend of the times. The larger the number, the harder it is to calculate. Just treat my album sales as

If the annual revenue is 10 billion, then it is also 100 billion.

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

"180 billion?"

Igarashi Runa looked at the calculation he wrote down on paper, (500+800+500=Sony's profit), and was immediately shocked.

She couldn't afford it early because Sony took the initiative to seek cooperation and actively communicated with her. In fact, she could vaguely feel that Sony must have an agenda and be able to make money.

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

"Do you understand now why I said they were insincere?"
