1773 [Multiple birds with one stone]
After Lawrence Texue nodded, the acquisition of Columbia Records in the summer was immediately corrected.
In addition, Xia Tian also took the opportunity to minimize the acquisition price. Lawrence Texue could have made a profit of $300 million, but was cut in half by Xia Tian.
Although Lawrence Teshu was extremely depressed, his braid was caught by Xia Tian. If he could escape, he would have already Amitabha Buddha. How could he dare to hope for any more money?
After replacing Columbia Records, he immediately sold the resort and immigrated to Ethiopia with his family. He didn't want to stay in the United States for a quarter of an hour, for fear of being caught in the summer.
After successfully acquiring Columbia Records in the summer, it merged with its subsidiary Geffen Records and successfully advanced to one of the three giants in the American music scene.
The world's five largest record companies, Polytechnic, Bertelsmann, Warner and Columbia, among which Polytechnic and Polytechnic are all British record companies. Although they also have businesses in the United States, their power is not as strong as the other three, so they are not considered giants in the American music scene.
The merged Columbia Records Company has a strong influence. Not only is the market value exceeding $2 billion, but it also has as many as 2,300 singers, spread all over the world. Among them are great people like AC/DC, David Poway, Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd, and Barbara Streisand.
After the merger, the number of songs in the music library also skyrocketed to more than 1.4 million. This music library alone can earn nearly 300 million US dollars in net profit every year. It can be said that I have picked up a chicken that can lay golden eggs!
If Lawrence Texue hadn't been uninterested in the recording industry and other people who were interested in acquiring had no financial resources, this cheapness would not have been picked up by Xia Tian.
...
The benefits of winning Columbia Records are not just these. After winning this record company, it will be of great benefit to the development of summer career.
For example, the songs in the Columbia record library can be authorized to films and TV series he produces, which avoids a lot of trouble. Because some songs are not authorized for money, such as the American drama "Mad Men" once wanted to use a song by the Beatles, but the licensing fee alone was as high as 250,000 US dollars, and it was only allowed after applying for it for many years.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Prince (Prince), who was once as famous as Michael Jackson, did not allow anyone to use his songs in any film and television drama. Even in the youtube video uploaded by netizens, there was a song in the background, which was also sued by him for deletion, which shows how stubborn he is about protecting his songs.
There are many singers like Prince and Beatles in the United States, so it is not easy for film and television companies to obtain song authorization. However, now that they have their own record company, this embarrassing situation can be avoided.
In addition, the songs from Columbia Records are authorized to film and television dramas, which not only can obtain generous copyright fees, but also play a very good role in promoting the songs.
For example, the well-known American drama "Glee" made many songs popular. Fun. The band's "e-are-young" was not very high when it was first released, but after being covered by "Glee", it immediately climbed to the top 100 singles chart of the Billboard, and won the Grammy Award for Best Song of the Year, which can be said to be a fame and fortune.
At the end of the famous American drama "Breaking Bad", it adopted a song "Baby-Blue" released by Badfinger, which was a long-out of the past, in 1972. After it was broadcast, the sales of this song soared by 2981%. This shows how much the sales of a popular film and television drama are increasing.
Moreover, after acquiring Columbia Records and obtaining millions of song libraries, the summer can also build its own music TV channel.
In 2003, Viacom's mtv channel had global business revenue of up to $4 billion, which shows how strong its money-making ability is.
If Xia Tian also founded his own music channel, even if he couldn't catch up with MTV, which was founded in the 1981st, it would add a considerable source of income to him.
From this we can see that the acquisition of Columbia Records is really worth the money for summer, and it is a big profit.
...
Successfully settled Columbia Records, Xia Tian and Wang Xiaoxian returned to Hong Kong by private plane. To avoid suspicion, Zhou Huimin and Sophie Marceau returned on a business flight.
After arriving at the airport, I saw my own Air China King 300 plane from afar. Xia Tian couldn't help but lit up and thought this plane was really great. Its fuselage was painted milky white and shining brightly by the sun, which was quite sci-fi beauty.
This is the first time Xiatian saw his plane, which is really a surprise.
"Wow, is this our plane? It's so beautiful." Wang Xiaoxian said in surprise after seeing this plane.
Xia Tian nodded with a smile and drove to the front of the plane.
The pilot and the airsuit were already waiting there. When he saw the boss coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Mr. Xia, okay~Miss Wang, okay~" everyone shouted in unison.
"Hello everyone~" Xia Tian smiled and shook hands with them one by one. After going to heaven, he gave all his life to them. It would be no harm to be polite.
When I held the stewardess, Xia Tian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, "Auntie?!"
I saw that the flight attendant looked picturesque and gentle, and she looked very much like a Hong Kong actress Li Huatong in her previous life.
"It's strange, why didn't she enter the film and television industry, but was a flight attendant? Could it be that people are similar and things are similar?" Xia Tian couldn't help but wonder.
Li Matong is a actress he liked very much in his previous life. She was shocking when she watched "The Legend of Condor Heroes". In the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the role of Wang Yuyan in which she played is also a classic in Jin Yong's play. Xia Tian felt that it was much better than Liu Yifei's version, of course this may be a reason for preconceivedity.
Li Huatong plays Xiaolongnu, and Wang Yuyan is both pure and immense, full of fairy spirit, and has a feeling of being uninhabited by the world. But this is not just because of her appearance. If you don’t believe it, look at how charming Qin Cao played in "The Spy of the Great Inner" and you will know how good her acting skills are.
In fact, Li Huatong was one of Du Qifeng's most valued actresses in his previous life, starring in many Galaxy-image movies, such as "The Tasteless Detective", "Hundred Thousand Urgent", "Birth of One Word", "Two Only Live One", etc. If it were just because of its beauty, how could it be so popular with Du Dapao?
Xia Tian thinks that Li Huatong is a person with both appearance and acting skills, and has a very good character. She has not had any bad news in the circle for many years, and is much better than Guan Zhilin, Li Jiaxin, Liu Jialing and others.
So he liked her very much. When "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were popular, he bought a lot of her cards and posters, which was quite fascinated.
But I didn't expect that one day, Li Matong would come to serve her, "Can I be dreaming, right?" Xia Tian couldn't help but doubt.
Then he smiled slightly, "Miss, your surname?"
