Chapter 189 Warner Records
This foreigner named Smith belongs to the famous Warner Music Group and is the marketing manager of the Warner Group.
Warner Music Group is one of the five largest record groups in the world in the 20th century and has made outstanding achievements in the recording industry. However, at this time, Warner Music Group's main sales point was European and American countries, and it had no share in Asia.
The American named Smith rushed over from the main company and only knew that a very high-selling piano album suddenly appeared in the island country. So he came over without stopping, only collecting some of the information of Being, but he didn't have time to collect the information of the performer.
So, Smith took it for granted that he should negotiate the distribution rights with Being Music Company in other regions, rather than the player of this piano album, which was destined to be miserable.
"Oh, Maiga, Mr. Nagato, this joke is not funny at all. Even if you want to increase the price, don't use this reason!"
When Nagato Daiyuki showed that Being Music was the company of the piano album player, Smith naturally would not believe it, thinking Nagato Daiyuki was playing tricks on him, after all, he had never heard of such a thing.
"Mr. Smith, I'm not kidding, nor do I need to lie to you. This is completely true! The owner of this Being music company is not me, but Zhao Chen, the player of this piano album. What you collect is the news from last year!"
When Smith heard Nagato Daiyuki say this, he couldn't help but scold the employee who was responsible for collecting information for negligence. But in this way, he would have to negotiate with Zhao Chen, and the price he paid would naturally exceed the psychological price!
"I wonder when this Mr. Zhao Chen will come to work in the company?"
"This is hard to say. Our president can be said to be a big deal. It also owns a large company with a certain scale, such as comic clubs, animation clubs, toy factories, clothing factories, media newspapers, voice actors, etc., and has more industries abroad. To be honest, with our president's assets, we don't care about the money for buying albums at all, even if I call him, I may not come. Of course, maybe after hearing Mr. Smith's purpose of coming!"
In order to increase the price, Nagato Daiyu used some strategies to show Zhao Chen's strength and enhance the corresponding bargaining chips.
In fact, Nagato Daiyuki also knew something very well. That is, it is impossible for Being to become an international music company in a short period of time, which mainly requires a lot of funds. Zhao Chen’s goal is to first let Being Music Company build the Asian market with this piano album. As for the markets in other regions, the markets in other regions will not be considered for the time being, because not to mention that there is no sales channel, Zhao Chen is not very famous in those regions.
As Nagato Daiyuki tells the story, Mr. Smith, who was originally calm, has more and more surprises on his face. He can't hide it. He didn't expect that a pianist would have so many companies of different natures. According to Nagato Daiyuki, this is almost equivalent to crossing the group.
After learning about this, Smith felt that it was not very good. Zhao Chen owned so many industries. He was obviously not short of money, so the difficulty of persuasion could be imagined. The most important thing is that he had not collected any information in his hands, and he could negotiate normally without even knowing people.
Nagato Yuki has seen Mr. Smith's expression a lot, and Zhao Chen is too powerful.
"Mr. Smith. In fact, before you came, large music companies came to you one after another. I wanted to represent the distribution rights of this piano album in other regions!"
"Mr. Nagato, can you please help me with some questions? What music companies are there? It's better to be prepared!"
When Smith heard the news, he knew something was wrong. He thought he was the first to come, but when Nagato Daiyuki said this, he was afraid that at least several music companies wanted to be agents, which made Smith think that he underestimated this piano album.
"This is a trade secret, but I can't say the specific ones, including Sony Records!"
Sony Records was separated from the world's oldest Columbia record company and is affiliated with Sony Music Entertainment. After years of growth, it has long become the largest music company in the island country, and is one of the world's five major music companies, which shows Sony's strength.
However, there was one thing Nagato Daiyuki didn't say, that was, when he heard that Sony Records wanted to represent the distribution rights of this piano album in other regions, Nagato Daiyuki asked Zhao Chen for instructions at that time, but Zhao Chen directly refused, and there was no room for any discussion.
Among them, Sony Records and Zhao Chen's Being are competitors, but more importantly, Zhao Chen does not like to cooperate with island companies, so how can he give up this opportunity to open up the market and grow Sony Records?
If this piano album is handed over to Sony Records for release, it will undoubtedly strengthen the popularity of Sony Records, and there will be a lot of profit margins. Zhao Chen would not even think about this kind of idea of a rival. If Being Music Company wants to become the largest music company in the island country, Sony Records is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle.
However, Nagato Otsuki is quite treacherous, so how could he tell the story of Sony Records being turned away? I'm afraid that even Smith will investigate it, it will be useless. After all, Sony Records will not promote this matter, otherwise it will lose its face.
"Sony Records! Mr. Nagato, please give me some time. This matter needs to be directed to the headquarters! I also hope to meet Mr. Zhao Chen, which is very grateful!"
As the marketing manager of Warner Records, Smith naturally had some powers. When he heard that the island country released a piano album that created records, Warner naturally hoped to obtain agency rights, but because the headquarters is in the United States, and Zhao Chen has no fame in the United States, he naturally could not collect Zhao Chen's information in a short period of time, thinking that Zhao Chen was a newcomer.
But after listening to Nagato Daiyuki's explanation, Smith knew that he had been wishful thinking before, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chen would be a pianist who was not short of money. Moreover, if the youngest rich man in the world were listed, he would definitely be on the list, and he would still be the kind of person who started from scratch, and there would be considerable room for improvement in the future.
After Smith hurriedly left, Nagato Yasuo raised his eyebrows and lay on the sofa to relax, but unfortunately the secretary did not let him go.
"Chairman, there is a person who claims to be the head of Universal Music outside who wants to see you!"
"Ahem, why are there five major music companies in the world? Please come in!" Nagato Daiyuki looked helpless, but he was so proud. This was his most proud day in decades. When he thought of so many well-known record companies crying and shouting, wanting to buy agency rights, and then crying that his grandfather and grandma want to meet Zhao Chen, it would be strange if he was not proud. After all, Nagato Daiyuki is just the chairman of a small and medium-sized music company now, and he has never seen any world.
But when the person in charge of Universal Records introduced himself, Nagato Daiyu suddenly became surprised. The reason was not the other, but the identity of the visitor, who was the current vice president of Universal Records, Renault!
Although it is only the vice president, Universal Records belongs to the world's five major music companies, and its status is naturally far from comparable to Being Music. Being able to dispatch a vice president naturally means enough sincerity, at least it is much better than Sony before, and has more rights!
"Hello, Mr. Renault, please sit down!" Nagato Yuki was not negligent at all. After shaking hands with the blonde and blue-eyed Renault with a smile on his face, he introduced him into the seat.
Unlike Smith, who was a little rude before, Renault is an authentic Frenchman with elegant manners, which is also mainly because Universal Records is based in France.
"Mr. Nagato, I'm very happy to see you!"
"So too, I didn't expect Mr. Renault would come here in person! If I had known, I would have gone out to greet him in person."
"Mr. Nagato is so polite. In fact, I'm not hiding it from Mr. Nagato. This time I came mainly because of Mr. Zhao Chen's piano album. I wonder if Mr. Zhao Chen is in the company?"
