    ¡®Boss, Mr. Liang Botao from the Winner Band is here.¡¯ After a beep, the voice of his secretary, Mrs. Zhang, sounded from the wireless landline phone connected to the outside on Chen Yihua¡¯s desk.  ¡°Bring him in.¡± After saying this, Chen Yihua stood up from his seat before the other party came in.  "Hello, Manager Liang, I've heard of you for a long time, and I'm glad to see you today." Chen Yihua looked at Liang Botao who was brought in by Mrs. Zhang, and stretched out his right hand as he spoke.  'Ah, hello, hello.' Liang Botao was a little flattered by Chen Yihua's enthusiasm. He didn't expect that a big boss like Chen Yihua would greet him in person, and he didn't expect that the other party would be so young. Liang Botao was obviously a little unprepared in advance, which made him  I'm a little at a loss now.  Seeing Liang Botao's nervous look, Chen Yihua smiled kindly and didn't care. Then he said, "Mr. Liang, sit here." "Mrs. Zhang, give me and Manager Liang a cup of tea. Oh, by the way, Manager Liang, you  "Whatever you want to drink, I have everything here." After sitting down, Chen Yihua ordered Mrs. Zhang who was standing aside and had not yet gone out.  "I'll just give you a glass of water. I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I didn't expect the big boss of Tianyi Company to be so young. I was so surprised when I saw you just now." Liang Botao was a little restrained when he first said it, but the more he said it, the more he became more and more nervous.  The more you let go, the more you speak more fluently.  ¡°Hehe, there¡¯s no need to feel embarrassed, Manager Liang. Many people couldn¡¯t believe that I was the boss of Tianyi Company when they saw me for the first time.¡± ¡°Mr. Chen, you just look young, but you have such a good temperament.  As soon as I saw you, I knew you were a big boss.¡¯ Chen Yihua was still very happy to hear others flattering him and said with a smile.  'Manager Liang is very good at talking. Don't worry, even if you don't say anything nice, our company's advertisements will not be given to others.' 'Thank you in advance, Mr. Chen.' 'You take a look at the documents first. If you think the conditions are suitable, we will  You can sign the contract today.' As soon as Chen Yihua finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang smartly took out a document and handed it to Liang Botao.  ¡®Mr. Chen, your conditions are great.  I feel embarrassed.' The document contained not much content, and Liang Botao read it quickly. The signing conditions given by Chen Yihua were very good. Not only were the restrictions very loose, but the signing bonus was twice the market price.  ¡®Haha, I like long-term investment the most, and I am very optimistic about the Wenner Band.  I'm a businessman, not a philanthropist. I think it's value for money, and I think you guys are worthy of the price I gave, so I offered these conditions. You don't have to feel embarrassed." Chen Yihua was drinking tea.  While saying.  The boss is so generous, how can people who want to make money disagree with the fact that the money is too much?  When meeting a big boss like Chen Yihua, Liang Botao didn't have to bargain at all and signed his name on the document readily.  "Manager Liang, I heard that the contract with your TV station, Wen Na and Li, is about to expire." After Liang Botao signed the contract, Chen Yihua did not let him go.  Instead, he came up with the words in a roundabout way.  "Yes, Mr. Chen, how did you know?" If it were normal, Liang Botao would definitely have noticed the profound meaning of Chen Yihua's words.  But now because he had just signed a big contract, Liang Botao was a little excited and his reaction was slower than usual. He had no idea that he had fallen into Chen Yihua's rhythm.  Smiling indifferently, Chen Yihua continued, "Didn't I tell you that I am optimistic about the future development of your Wenner band? Naturally, I have some understanding of your situation. I heard that Wireless seems to be trying its best to poach you in the past."  Well, Mr. Chen received good news. Wireless has indeed contacted us, but I haven¡¯t agreed yet. Mr. Chen, you may not know that I am planning to create a special program for the Winner Band. If  Wireless agreed to my conditions. It's not impossible for us to sign with Wireless." When Chen Yihua said this, Liang Botao finally became a little alert. However, the other party was a big customer after all, and he didn't think there was anything to hide in this matter.  After a moment, he decided to tell the truth.  Winner is now fairly well-known in Hong Kong. Although Winner had some TV performances before, they were only guest appearances.  Liang Botao didn't lie. He had a unique vision. During this time, he was planning a TV show for Winner's band. He hoped that Winner could have his own independent show.  Wenner is currently contracted by Li's TV station. This TV station is only willing to arrange for the band to be a guest on the program, and has not agreed to let Wenner do the show. As for the TV station, it is still not safe for a band to host an independent show.  .  When Wireless wanted to poach Wenner, Liang Botao did put forward this condition. If Wireless agreed to produce a separate program for the Wenner band, then I believe Wenner's owner would soon be replaced by another company.  Hearing what Liang Botao said, Chen Yihua took a sip of tea and consideredAfter a while, I felt that it was time to get straight to the point, "Manager Liang, if I can help Winner get an independent program, I wonder if you might join my company. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I  There are several companies under it, and a record company was established some time ago. Chen Yihua's purpose of finding the advertising spokesperson of Wenner's Tianyi pager this time is not simple. After the establishment of Rolling Stone Records, the progress has been very fast. The company headquarters  The decoration has been completed, and the basic equipment of the recording studio has been shipped from the United States. The company also has several music producers. Now it is missing singers, and the Wenner band is the first target of Rolling Stone Records, also because  In this way, Chen Yihua would be so enthusiastic towards someone he met for the first time.  Wynners was formed as early as 1973, when the band released its first album ¡®Listen to the Wynners¡¯.  Since the local music scene at that time was still dominated by Mandarin songs and Cantonese songs, many people did not dare to be optimistic about English songs.  But after the English album 'Listen to the Wynners' was released, it shocked the entire music world.  The album was released not long ago and quickly sold more than 10,000 copies.  With sales of 10,000 copies at that time, it can be said that Winner's first album "Listen to the Winners" has performed very well since its release.  In 1974, the Wenner Band's first recorded album was released.  The first small album is 'SunshineLover', with Ah B singing the lead.  And the B-Side side.  It¡¯s ¡®Would You Laugh¡¯ with Allen singing the lead.  "Sunshine Lover" soon became the number one song on the local pop charts. From this time on, local fans began to pay attention to the Wenner band.  In 1975, when the Wenner Band achieved success in the field of singing, it was unexpected that even the film industry began to pay attention. First, Huang Zhan asked Liang Botao to let the Wenner Band make a film for him. On the other hand, Shaw Brothers also sent Liang Botao a look, and even  Made a promise of eight films.  After detailed consideration.  Liang Botao finally reached an agreement with Huang Zhan and began preparations for the filming of "Cabar Le".  From this moment on, the Wenner Band's career reached another peak.  After the filming of the movie "Cabar Le" was completed, it was released during the prime time of Christmas.  Unexpectedly, Winner's film debut would be so popular among movie fans.  The box office record at that time was as high as more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.  That is about the same as today¡¯s HK$20 million.  In 1976, Liang Botao was not content with this. He reached an agreement with Golden Harvest and invited Taiwan's new young director Chen Yaoqi to cooperate in the production of "Making It", which was renamed by Liang Botao himself.  According to Pato, this title is full of the excitement of young people.  Momentum.  Sure enough, the movie was well received, and many Taiwanese businessmen also used the "catching up, running, jumping, and bumping" sales as a motto, and it became a promotional slogan in Taiwanese advertising.  Later, they starred in the movie "Chasing" and their famous song "sha-la-la-la-la" and became popular in Taiwan.  The album of the same name was a big hit. The song "Sha-La-La-La-La" topped the list for several weeks.  The Wenner Band officially entered the local music scene.  Laying down has a certain status.  At the beginning, Winner basically continued the style of Loosers, singing covers of English songs or original English songs.  Even the clothes are imitated by the Beatles or other European and American bands, with long hair, sunglasses and platform shoes.  By 1976, the five eldest boys of Winner had become super idols pursued by young people in Hong Kong. They had a lot of fans in Hong Kong.  Chen Yihua wants to sign a contract with Winner at this time. The cost is not small, and even if Liang Botao is rich, he may not cooperate with the Rolling Stones, because Winner's band does not lack any collaborators.  During the three years from 1973 to 1976, the Wenner Band quickly became the idols of young people in Hong Kong. They were well-known in Hong Kong and achieved good results. The company Wenner is currently contracted with is Lai TV, and their records are produced by PolyGram.  However, PolyGram has always wanted to poach the Wenner band. Not only PolyGram, but also TVB is also very interested in the Wenner band. After Wenner's first film Caf¨¦ de Coral became a hit, TVB  I started to pay attention to the Wen Na band. During this period, the contract between the Wen Na band and Li's TV station was about to expire. Wireless sent people to lobby Liang Botao constantly, hoping to poach Li's and let the Wen Na band join TVB.  , Liang Botao was also negotiating terms with Wireless during this time.  Compared with TVB, Polygram, and LiTV, the reputation of the Rolling Stones is too small. If Chen Yihua wants to poach the Wenner Band, the price he has to pay will definitely be two or three times more than other companies.  In fact, Chen Yihua knows many singers who are not yet famous but are very capable. For Chen Yihua, these people are easier to get than the already famous Wenner Band, and Chen Yihua only needs to pay a slight price to get them.  In his own arms.  It¡¯s not that Chen Yihua hasn¡¯t considered the pros and cons, and it¡¯s not like he doesn¡¯t know how difficult it is to sign a contract with Winner. After careful consideration, Chen Yihua finally decided to make Winner his first signing target.  There are several reasons for signing the Wenner band, ?Stone Records has just been established. If you really want to find a singer who is good but not famous, it will take a lot of time for the singer to debut. Chen Yihua is not short of money, but he is short of time.  The Winners now have a certain reputation. Letting them join Rolling Stone Records will allow the newly established record company to quickly gain popularity in the industry.  Of course, there are other reasons besides the above. Although Winner is already very famous now, it has not yet reached its peak. It still has a lot of room for growth. Signing Winner is not as difficult as signing contracts with people like Xu Guanjie and Deng Lijun.  , there is a god-level figure named Alan Tam in the Wenner band. He is no worse than Deng Lijun and Xu Guanjie. Chen Yihua knows this singer's ability to attract money. It will cost a lot for him to invest in the Wenner band now, but  Alan Tam alone makes his investment worthwhile, and the return on investment must be no less than 200%.
