Silicon Valley

Jay Chou showed embarrassment, and said, "Brother Xian, I want to go back and think about it!"

Hearing this, Wu Zongxian's face sank, but he said: "Okay, then you can think about it!"

Jay Chou nodded and took his leave. Jay Chou grew up in a single parent family, he is very filial and listens to his mother. After returning home, he told his mother Ye Huimei about the matter.

Ye Huimei pondered for a while, and then said: "Henry Williams sent the Asian president of the company to dig you out. It seems that he thinks highly of you! And Wu Zongxian..." Speaking of this, Jay Chou's mother could not help but pause , Shaking his head, "Wu Zongxian offered you such an outrageous contract, obviously just treating you as a cash cow and preparing to exploit you for a long time! Although Wu Zongxian released your first album for you, you also made money for his company." A lot of money and fame. What's more, you didn't abandon him. Anyway, this is the best of humanity, Jay, this contract cannot be signed!"

"Um!"

Ever since, when he went to work the next day, Jay Chou directly rejected Wu Zongxian's request.

Wu Zongxian looked at Jay Chou's leaving figure, his face couldn't help becoming gloomy, but he couldn't turn his back on him face to face, he could only persuade him with kind words, if he forced Jay Chou to leave, it would be more harm than good. He quietly leaned back on the chair and meditated. Since Jay Chou is unwilling to sign this contract, it means that Jay Chou may not be reliable in the future, and he will definitely fly away when his wings are hardened. The company was sold at a high price and easily earned 600 million Taiwan dollars!

Wu Zongxian thought for a while, then with a fixed look, he picked up the phone and called Tan Junyuan.

"Hello, Mr. Tan, I'm Wu Zongxian!"

"Oh, Mr. Wu, what's the matter, have you thought about it?"

"Yes, I've decided to sell Alpha Records to you guys!"

"Oh, yes, that's great! How about I come to your company to sign the contract later?"

"Okay, then I'll prepare the contract here."

Half an hour later, Tan Junyuan came to Alpha Records again. After the two parties signed the contract, Wu Zongxian called all the employees together.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Tan Junyuan, Asia President of Williams Brokerage Company!" Wu Zongxian said, pointing to Tan Junyuan.

"It's always good to talk!!!"

"Hehe, hello!"

Wu Zongxian said again at this time: "Tan Zong came to buy our Alpha record company. After careful consideration, I finally decided to sell it to Williams' management company! Williams' management company is Henry Williams, the richest man in the world. After Alpha Records was acquired, the company's artist contracts were transferred to Williams' agency, and the record company was merged into Williams Records. From now on, you will work in Henry Williams' company, and you will have a bright future. , it’s not the same as being in Alpha Records!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they were all overjoyed!

Who doesn't know that Henry Williams' company pays well and has many ways to promote and develop, which is of great help to his future career planning! And the previous Alpha Records would not be worth mentioning if Jay Chou hadn't become famous. As the saying goes, there will be a raging litter. In terms of financial resources and influence, how can Wu Zongxian compare with Henry Williams!

Wu Zongxian saw everyone cheering and cheering, and suddenly felt that his life had failed. However, the thought of getting 600 million Taiwan dollars immediately made me feel better again.

Seeing Tan Junyuan smiling at him at this time, Jay Chou seemed to be saying, "Well, now, you should come to Williams' agency!"

"Everyone be quiet, let Tan Zong say a few words!" Wu Zongxian made a silent gesture to everyone, and the surrounding immediately became quiet.

Tan Junyuan said with a smile: "Williams Records is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Williams' management company, and Alpha Records will be renamed Williams Records in the future, and it belongs to the Taiwan branch. The production and sales of records (both physical and digital). The signing of artists is handled by Williams Brokers, which helps artists plan their careers at the most professional level, including releasing records, shooting movies and TV shows, and finding suitable commercial performances , endorsement, business cooperation, handling all contract/financial issues, etc.!"

"clear!"

Subsequently, Alpha Records held a press conference and officially announced to the outside world that the company was acquired by Williams' agency for NT$600 million.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation in the Taiwanese media.

"Taiwan Daily": "A 'Jay Chou' made Wu Zongxian 600 million Taiwan dollars!!!"

"Liberty Times": "Taiwan's talented singer-songwriter Jay Chou joined Williams' management company, like a carp leaping through the dragon's gate, the future development is limitless!"

"TVBS Weekly": "According to the survey, many artists in Taiwan expressed their willingness to join Williams' agency, which has just entered Taiwan. However, the threshold for entering Williams' agency is very high, and most artists will be rejected. outside the door!"

"..."

It was only the establishment of a branch company, which caused huge waves in small Taiwan.

"Jay, the Taiwan market is too small. After the production of this second album is completed, the company will arrange for you to develop in mainland China!" Tan Junyuan called Jay Chou to the office and said.

Jay Chou thought for a few seconds before replying, "I'm going back to discuss it with my mother!"

"No problem at all!"

"If Mr. Tan is all right, then I'll go out first!"

"Um……"

After Jay Chou returned home, he said to his mother Ye Huimei: "Mom, Mr. Tan plans to let me go to mainland China to develop, what do you think!"

"Very good. As far as I know, China's economy has already developed, and it has a population of 1.3 billion. The market is much larger than that of Taiwan. It will be more beneficial for your career to develop there!" Ye Huimei didn't even think about it. , blurted out.

"But, I went to mainland China, and you are the only one staying in Taiwan. Or, you go with me?!"

"Silly son, I don't know anyone in mainland China. What am I going to do? I have relatives and friends in Taiwan. If I have nothing to do, I will invite them to play cards or have a meal together. It's better than staying alone in a strange city! That's enough, don't worry about your mother. A man's career is the most important thing, and my mother encourages you to go!"

Jay Chou's eyes turned red, and he cried while hugging his mother.

...

Jay Chou's second album is called "Fantasy". He is also the producer of the album and arranges the composition of all the songs in the album. The title song is the very rap "Nunchuck" which combines Chinese and Western music elements.

"I use the nunchuck, hehehe. Quickly use the nunchuck, er, er, er..."

This song was originally written for Zhang Huimei, but it was sent back. So, Jay Chou decided to sing it himself, but he didn't expect this song to become popular! ! !

Currently, three-quarters of the album has been completed, and it is expected that the production of the album will be completed within two months. Tan Junyuan first returned to mainland China and reported Taiwan's affairs to Henry in detail.

Not long after Tan Junyuan came back, Chen Tianqiao also came back from South Korea. Everything went well. He successfully completed the acquisition of the Korean game company Actoz on behalf of ICQ, and acquired Actoz with 55 million US dollars!

At the same time, Ruby Ruby was successfully recruited to Williams' agency. As for Fan Bingbing and Lin Xinru's managers, Henry arranged for female managers. Well, this is mainly for the sake of female artists. Isn't it easier for women to communicate with each other? Henry just thought about it simply, and never used his brains.

Just after lunch, Henry’s cell phone rang suddenly.

"Good morning, are you Mr. Henry Williams?"

"I am Henry Williams, you are Bao Jianfeng!"

"How do you know it's me?"

"Hehe, listen to the voice, everyone's voice is different, and it's easy to distinguish. Oh, you called me, did you call me, are you from the fantasy literature club?"

"Yes!" Bao Jianfeng said a little excitedly, "When they heard that you were going to create a Chinese website, they all expressed their willingness to come to you to publish new books!"

"Publish a new book?!"

Henry froze for a moment, I asked them to manage the company, not to distribute new books. It seems that they didn't make it clear before, which made them misunderstand.

"Bao Jianfeng, maybe I didn't make it clear before. In fact, I am going to ask you to come and help me manage this website! The annual salary of the employees is at least 50,000 RMB and the highest is 1 million RMB, and there are stock option rewards. If you come, let You become the CEO, with an annual salary of one million...RMB!" Henry paused, and asked, "How about it, are you interested?"

Bao Jianfeng was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on the phone.

"Mr. Williams, is what you said true?" Bao Jianfeng asked uncertainly.

"Of course it is true. Is it necessary for me, Henry Williams, to lie to you?"

"Yes, yes, no need!"

Bao Jianfeng hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Then, what about my brothers from the fantasy literature club, let them come to work in the company?"

"You can poach those people if you think they are useful! The better the website develops, the higher your bonus will be in the future; otherwise, I will revoke your CEO position!" Henry said lightly, "Within a week, if you are willing to come The people who work on the website rushed to Shenzhen. As for air tickets, bus fares, and accommodation expenses, the company will reimburse them all!"

"OK!"

Bao Jianfeng hung up the phone excitedly. At this moment, he tried hard to pinch his thigh to see if he was dreaming.

When there was a sharp pain in his thigh, Bao Jianfeng couldn't help crying out. "It seems that there is no dream, everything is real, I want to be the CEO of the website with a salary of one million!!!"

At this time, he remembered Henry's instructions again, and quickly picked up the phone and started to contact his partner. Just as he was about to dial, he stopped suddenly. "No, I have to think about which talents are suitable. If Henry Williams is not satisfied with the people brought here, he will definitely be dissatisfied with himself. At that time, the CEO position will not be guaranteed..."

Bao Jianfeng stepped in as the CEO of the station, thought about it all night, and finally came up with a list, with a total of more than 20 people. After dawn, he followed the list one by one to contact. After the other party got the news, they were completely shocked, and finally agreed one by one and accepted the invitation.

A week later, everyone came to Shenzhen, and Henry sent someone to take them to ICQ company.

After seeing real Henry, Bao Jianfeng became more excited and nervous, and the people who came with him were also in the same mood.

Henry said: "This building has been bought by ICQ, and the 10 floors are vacant, which can be used as a temporary office! Your accommodation problem, the company will also solve it for you, and it is less than a ten-minute drive away from the company. ICQ company has developed a staff apartment, which can be rented to you at a low price, 500 yuan per month. Considering that some of you are just here, some of you may be in financial difficulties, so we will provide you with free living in the first month. Of course, The apartment is relatively big, you can also consider renting together... Okay, now let me tell you about our company!"

Henry looked around at everyone, and said: "The website we want to create is called Wangwang, which belongs to China Literature Group, and your task is to manage this website! If everyone works hard to develop Wangwang, I promise, I will definitely give you Option rewards for a part of the network. In the future, the network will be spun off and listed, and everyone can make a lot of money!"

"At present, the design and development of the website has been completed. At the same time, I have signed more than 100 writers and thousands of electronic novels. However, I am more concerned about the excavation and cultivation of newcomers! How to attract these newcomers to our website to post articles, In my opinion, it is only driven by profit. Therefore, I am going to open VIP."

"VIP???" Everyone was at a loss.

Henry smiled and explained: "VIP chapters will be opened when the number of signed authors reaches a certain number, that is, readers need to pay to read the book, and each VIP chapter will charge a certain fee according to the number of words, and the author and the website will share the fees according to a certain ratio! "

"Mr. Williams, netizens love to read free books. If we charge for it, I'm afraid we will lose a lot of readers!" Bao Jianfeng frowned.

"I know, but as long as one out of 10 readers is willing to pay, then the website can be supported! I believe that with the implementation of the VIP system, more and more people will be willing to support genuine novels! A family that cannot bring the author A profitable website will lose authors sooner or later, and once the authors leave, readers will also be lost.

Therefore, the author is the most precious asset for a website. We have to find a way to retain them as much as possible. In addition to launching the VIP system, we also have to consider that some authors have low VIP subscriptions for their novels, and eating is a problem. Where can they have time to update novels? Therefore, we can provide the minimum Security money to keep them alive! "

"Mr. Williams, if this is the case, I believe there will be many authors willing to sign with our website, but if this continues, the company will suffer serious losses!"

"It doesn't matter if you lose a billion or so, let's talk about monopolizing the entire market!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help clicking their tongues...
