Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 371 Record Dividends

   After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa to rest, and the two women reported to Yang Chen the situation in Xiangjiang these days.

   There is nothing to say about the Kowloon Bus. The route planning is almost done. When the time comes, you can apply to the Governor's Office and you can officially connect with the subway.

   During this time, He Chaoqiong initially mastered the bus company through bus route planning.

   Next, as long as Kowloon Bus completes the docking with the MTR and profits recover, then she will be truly recognized by the management of Kowloon Bus.

  ATV and Carrefour have stabilized, so there is no need to worry about it. At this stage, Xue Yufei's focus has shifted to game companies.

   At this stage, the game company is still conducting research and development on consoles and games. Xue Yufei does not need to worry about this. Her main energy is to focus on integrating the game factory.

   Affected by the ban on Wanwan, the popularity of game factories in Xiangjiang has also dropped a lot. The acquisition process also did not take much effort.

   Although the game market is booming nowadays, Japan is completely self-sufficient, and even if there are excess orders, they are mostly sent to Wanwan.

  Compared with the population of 20 million in Wanwan and the area of ​​a province, the development of Xiangjiang is faster and the population cost is higher. In terms of OEM selection, everyone prefers Wanwan to Xiangjiang.

  There are lice on the head, and the head is hot.

   Before, everyone saw that the game market is hot and it is easy to make money. At the beginning, the profit was not bad, and all the brains flooded in.

  The profit-seeking nature of capitalists is the same everywhere, so that the same trend as the market in Laomei has appeared on the side of Xiangjiang.

  In the market in Laomei, the plate is big enough and there is room for buffering. The market in Xiangjiang is small, and when there is a problem, it will be exposed immediately.

   As early as last year, Wanwan issued a game ban, and there were problems in the production and sales of the game factory in Xiangjiang.

   It can be said that Yang Chen's entry at this time is really just right, it's not too soon or too late, just when everyone can't hold back, he jumps out to harvest a wave of leeks.

   If we had been one step earlier, at the beginning of the year, everyone still had hope for the game market, then in the next few months, a group of brainless people would flood into the market, and everyone was really desperate.

   There were several game factories in Xiangjiang before, but as soon as they opened, they ushered in a storm of bankruptcy. After the production equipment was shipped from Japan, let alone orders, there was no money to operate.

  Banks are undoubtedly the institutions that understand the market best. Every day, funds from all walks of life flow in and out of their hands. Which industry is booming or which industry is in a downturn. Banks can clearly understand through data.

  Like Wanwan, Yang Chen's acquisition of the game factory in Xiangjiang also started through a bank, and asked the two giants HSBC and Standard Chartered to help him bargain for the acquisition.

   Most of the game companies in Xiangjiang are foundries, and they don’t have enough background. They are not the ones that Sega and Nintendo have a pivotal position in the game market. He doesn’t need to negotiate with those people at all.

   As for establishing personal connections, he didn't climb up from the bottom. He was supported by the charter king, Huo Daheng and others. Does he need to establish any connections with those who are about to go bankrupt?

   It's not necessary at all

  The game company has nothing to say for the time being, Xue Yufei briefly introduced Yang Chen, and then jumped to another matter.

   "Chen, yesterday, Baoli Jin transferred a record dividend." When Xue Yufei spoke, her expression was a little strange, and she couldn't tell.

  Yang Chen didn't notice Xue Yufei's expression, opened his mouth to eat the fruit that He Chaoqiong handed to his mouth, and said vaguely, "Oh! I finally got a dividend."

Xue Yufei rolled her eyes, "Poly Gold said that the dividends from Europe have been transferred to YAA with your consent, this time the dividends from the United States, Japan and Southeast Asia, because they are too scattered. , it will take a while..."

   After listening, Yang Chen blinked, and said, "Tell me, how are my two albums sold in the United States."

"As of the 20th, Chen, your two albums are in the United States, just over 40 million, and each album is priced at fifteen dollars. According to the sharing agreement between you and PolyGram, they have transferred a total of 100 million. Twenty million dividends."

   "Huh, are there so many?" Yang Chen was startled when he heard that his record had a dividend of 120 million in the United States.

Although the Hong Kong media has been reporting on how popular his songs are, and reprinting foreign reports about him every once in a while, he never thought that his two albums would be silent, just in the United States. Selling 40 million huge data sheets.

  ‘How long has it been? ’

   This is simply eye-catching.

   He Chaoqiong was not too surprised. He obviously got the news from Xue Yufei early, and said with a smile, "Achen, you made a lot of money this time."

  Yang Chen heard the words, his eyes were rolling, not only was he not happy, but he looked distressed, "It's a loss, a loss, I knew that the last time I signed a contract with PolyGram, I had to pay more for it..."

  Xue Yufei: "-_-||"

  He Chaoqiong: "…"

   In other words, what Yang Chen signed with PolyGram was the unit price dividend for each album, and how many copies PolyGram sold had to be calculated on the basis of two percent, and there was absolutely no need to consider the cost of records and sales.

To be honest, although PolyGram made a profit this time, it really wasn’t as much as Yang Chen thought. In order to open up the American market, PolyGram promoted Yang Chen’s various tricks. The publicity fee alone consumed all the profits. net.

   This time, PolyGram never thought about making money at all. Relying on Yang Chen's records and taking the opportunity to open up the American market is what PolyGram wants most.

   So, this time, in addition to eating a piece of meat in Europe, the United States not only made no money, but also posted a lot.

Not bothering about whether Yang Chen was losing or earning, Xue Yufei looked at Yang Chen with anticipation, "Chen, have you thought about releasing another album next? Baoli Jin said, if you are willing to release another album. For a record, they are willing to sell it for you and only charge 10% of the profit.”

   "Let's release another album?" Yang Chen heard that, although he was a little cautious, after all, if two albums were released, there would be one or two hundred million dollars in the account.

   But when he thought that if the next game became popular, he would make more money than the record, so he dismissed the idea.

  Yang Chen waved his hand and said: "For now, it's okay, there are a lot of things to do next, and I'll talk about it later."

   This work of plagiarism is easy to become addictive if you do too much. Two albums have been released this year, and any more will be too much.
