Zhou Jianhui, Vice President of Warner Asia and President of Greater China, angrily slapped the newspaper on the table.
"Masada Hong is a bastard, think of us Warner as blind!"
And the headline displayed in the newspaper was the interview with the reporter again by the chairman of Sony Masada Hiroshi.
"Sony intends to join hands with Cao Xuan to create a world superstar"
Compared with the cryptic rhetoric in the previous episode, after receiving positive feedback from Fan Xing and Cao Xuan, Zheng Tianhong couldn't hide his excitement, and his words became more explicit, and he almost regarded Cao Xuan as Sony's possession.
Such a flamboyant attitude naturally aroused Warner's great dissatisfaction.
Especially Zhou Jianhui, as Cao Xuan's "bole", Warner personally created an Asian superstar, and he and Warner also benefited a lot from it.
Warner, which was originally in jeopardy, has now become the number one record company in China, with extensive strength and influence in the three places on both sides of the strait.
Zhou Jianhui himself was a transitional president of the China region. Not only did he secure his position, he was also promoted to the vice president of the Asia region, and he was even a strong contender for the president of the Asia region.
Along the way, he knows more about the connection between Cao Xuan and Warner than anyone else, and he also understands how much negative impact it will have on Warner if Cao Xuan leaves.
Whether it's Zhang Huimei, Na Ying, Sun Yanzi or Sun Nan, they can't make up for the vacancy left by Cao Xuan, the number one in the Chinese music scene and the king of Asia.
Warner, which was originally booming, will usher in immeasurable losses.
This is also Sony's strategy. Poaching Cao Xuan is not only a powerful boost to Sony itself, but also a major blow to Warner, a competitor.
If the operation is good, China's No. 1 record company may change ownership
"Mr. Zhou, the most urgent thing is to renew the contract with Cao Xuan as soon as possible. Now everyone in the company is in panic, and the company headquarters also has emails to inquire about the situation. If Cao Xuan really leaves, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Huang Minxia, ??vice president of Warner China and Zhou Jianhui's confidant and right-hand assistant, reminded.
Normally, I don't think so, but now that there is a storm, the senior executives of Warner have felt the influence of Cao Xuan, the "big brother of Warner", in the company, which is comparable to Dinghaishenzhen.
This is also very normal. In recent years, most of Warner's dazzling achievements in the music world have been made by Cao Xuan alone.
Gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, rubbing and rubbing several other record companies under their bodies.
The old employees watched Cao Xuan carry forward Warner with his own strength, and many new employees came here because of the name of Cao Xuan and No. 1 Record Company.
Everyone knows that Warner has Cao Xuan in charge and dominates the Chinese music scene. Now that Dinghaishenzhen is leaving, it's no wonder everyone doesn't panic.
Under Huang Minxia's persuasion, Zhou Jianhui also calmed down.
"What does Cao Xuan mean?"
"Cao Xuan himself didn't reply. He participated in an event in Shanghai and immediately flew to South Korea to promote it. It was Fanxing's vice president Jiang Yue who negotiated with us."
"This is hiding from us."
Zhou Jianhui frowned. The relationship between Warner and Cao Xuan was not a simple cooperative relationship. The two sides went from the trough to the glory together.
It's not that no one has poached Cao Xuan before, as long as Warner came forward and actively communicated with Cao Xuan, they could save the day.
Cao Xuan has always expressed his attitude to Warner very frankly, fighting for his own interests, and rarely shy away from it. This also made Warner understand that Cao Xuan did not have the idea of ??changing jobs.
But this time Cao Xuan avoided seeing him, more or less avoiding the offensive of friendship and doing business in a business-like manner.
Zhou Jianhui's face became more and more serious. It seemed that this incident was more serious than he had imagined.
"What did she say?"
"As a friend, she revealed to us Sony's price tag. Under the condition that other conditions are roughly equal to ours, the signing fee is 100 million and there is also the Japanese market."
"Damn, these devils are crazy."
Zhou Jianhui didn't hold back and spit out the swear words again.
The signing fee of 100 million, coupled with Cao Xuan's already very generous dividend ratio, with Cao Xuan's current album output, he can hardly make any money.
However, he also understands that what is valuable about Cao Xuan is not only the dividends from his albums and concerts.
? Its own influence and achievements give enterprises even more terrifying boost.
If Sony and Warner are both listed companies now, then Cao Xuan's entry and exit will have a bipolar effect on the stock prices of the two companies soaring and collapsing.
Although the two companies are not listed, the stock price is not considered for the time being, butThere are still fluctuations in the head office, and there are great changes in market value and influence.
However, this was not Zhou Jianhui's biggest headache.
Originally, Warner had prepared a very generous signing fee for Cao Xuan. The two parties had been negotiating before, and they were discussing between 50 million and 60 million, while Warner's reserve price was 65 million.
Now it seems that the signing fee will definitely increase, and it will cost 80 million.
Coupled with some concessions in other areas and the old friendship with Cao Xuan, it can almost offset Sony's 100 million.
But the Japanese market, Sony's stronghold, is Warner's weakness.
As the largest music market in Asia, Sony's chip is not insignificant, and it even works well, which is much more valuable than the 100 million signing fee.
Zhou Jianhui thought for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Now we can only ask the head office for help. Cao Xuan has always planned to enter the European and American markets. If he wants to overtake Sony this time, he has to win over him." Adequate resource tilt."
"Will the head office agree?"
"If you don't agree, you have to agree. Besides, a superstar with an Asian market, why don't they agree."
Zhou Jianhui showed the arrogance of the president, and took out his mobile phone: "I will contact Adam now, and then I will contact the head office together. You go to book a ticket immediately. I will go to South Korea to have an interview with Cao Xuan."
"clear."
Huang Minxia left in a hurry, Zhou Jianhui prepared a draft and made a phone call.
"Hey, boss"
At the same time, accompanied by a group of staff members, Cao Xuan got off the plane and arrived at Incheon International Airport in South Korea.
His visit to South Korea this time was jointly arranged by Fanxing and Warner, and the local organizers in South Korea accepted him.
Cao Xuan came to Korea for the first time, and both Warner Bros. and the organizer wanted to make it more lively, and announced the flight to the public.
So as soon as Cao Xuan walked out of the airport, he saw hundreds of Korean fans densely surrounded by the gate.
These Korean fans uniformly wore red peaked caps with printed characters, and held a light board with Cao Xuan's name and photo printed on it. There were Chinese and Korean characters¡¾¡¿.
This is the first time Cao Xuan knows that his name is written in Korean, and it looks a little weird.
Especially the first word, which is rich in associations, but it does fit
Afterwards, Cao Xuan asked about the translation. It was probably a transliteration, which was not very standard. It was equivalent to hamburgers and hamburgers in Chinese and English.
In Korean history, there was a minister Zhao Xian, who was translated into Korean with this [], which shows the magic of this accent.
When Cao Xuan was struggling with his name, the Korean fans at the door went crazy when they saw Cao Xuan wearing a down jacket coming out.
"Ahhh!"
"Cao Xuan Ouba!"
"My God, Mom, I saw Cao Xuan."
"Wooooow, Oppa."
"Cao Xuan, I love you"
""
Cao Xuan, who was walking and waving, heard someone shouting in Chinese, looked over, and found that it was a few Korean girls, who should have learned Chinese on purpose.
The index finger of the left hand intersects with the thumb, making a heart-to-heart comparison: "Hey Sarah!"
"Ahhh!!!"
The atmosphere at the scene exploded again. Although they didn't particularly understand the meaning of Bi Xin's gesture, they still understood it.
For a foreign star like this, it is more pleasing to speak a few words in the native language of fans.
For example, those foreign stars who come to China, if they can speak a few words of Chinese, the fans will be very happy. In the same way, when Cao Xuan goes to Korea to "confess" his fans in Korean, he will also get enthusiastic feedback from Korean fans.
Cao Xuan himself is a bit nationalistic, and he doesn't have a good impression of many foreigners, especially those who have a dirty relationship with China.
But for fans who really like him, he can still look at them differently, and is willing to give them some care and happiness within his ability.
After comparing hearts and waving goodbye to fans, Cao Xuan got into the commercial vehicle and headed to the hotel.
Just arrived at the hotel and met Li Caiying, the person in charge of the organizer, who is also a vice president of jyp company.
This is the big three of the famous Korean entertainment companies in the future. It has only been established for less than five years now, and even the name of jyp was just changed last year.
At present, jyp is still far from the giants, but it is also doing well.
Warner's business in South Korea is limited, so Cao Xuan's trip to South Korea has been arranged by jyp, who is responsible for the arrangement of Cao Xuan's signing event and variety shows.
"Mr. Cao, you have worked hard."
"It's not hard, the fans in Seoul are very enthusiastic, thank you for the arrangement."
Cao Xuan shook the hand of this young Korean woman in her thirties. The plastic surgery industry in South Korea has not yet fully developed, and along the way, Cao Xuan really didn't realize how many "beauties" there are in South Korea.
After exchanging pleasantries with Li Caiying for a while, Cao Xuan, who had caught the plane, went to the hotel room to rest.
This hotel is adjacent to the Han River. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the night view of the Han River at night.
Frankly speaking, the scenery is pretty good, but Cao Xuan has been thinking about such a big Han River, how did the little blue pill exceed the standard?
Is the body of the people of Seoul so weak
?:??.
