On the morning of the 26th, Zhu Huaicheng finally completed the work assigned to him by Yang Can and collected relevant information about independent music companies. Yang Can scanned it a bit. There were about 20 companies, and almost none of them had the name Yang Can. heard about it.
Before Yang Can studied the songs of some independent music in Taiwan, he thought of a sentence from the British pop music culture critic and scholar Simon Freys. The important thing about independent music is not the lack of sound channels and quality, but how it works. Survive in a capital society.
In fact, Taiwan’s independent music development is relatively early in Asia. Since the 1970s, Li Shuangze has started to play and sing himself at home with simple recordings. It coincided with the differences between Yang Can at the Taipei Folk Song Western Restaurant. Become the first independent music singer with a reporter in history.
Later, the two albums "Chinese Modern Folk Songs" and "Xi Chu Yangguan" jointly published by college student Yang Xian and poet Yu Guangzhong became the origin of early Taiwanese campus folk songs. Among them, Yang Can was the most influential folk singer Hu Defu. The average song energy of "Hurry" even surpassed 650, but the energy is too high to be promoted as a commercial song.
In recent years, Taiwan's independent music has made great strides. Sodagreen, Chen Shanni, Zhang Xuan, and other singers have successfully landed in the mainstream market.
More and more independent music companies are also beginning to cooperate with those mainstream recorders.
Of course, Yang Can’s information does not contain the most popular independent musicians. This information is about relatively "failed" companies, with very detailed data, including those records that have been produced, what bands under it, and these companies. According to the data and analysis of the company, which company has launched a bad record, the sales are bleak, resulting in serious losses, and which company has made a deal, which has caused it to be in a state of suspension. Those are because the helm is tired of the music industry. , I want to rush to get rid of.
Zhu Huaicheng seemed to lose weight all around, and said weakly, "Oh, I really don't understand you. I just bring you the mp3 back. Why do you have to take pictures of others? I have been so busy these days." The fat man also said. I really don’t understand what Yang Can wants these people to do with photos of CDs
Yang Can did not make a sound, but kept dialing with his hand on the touch screen of the ipad computer, carefully observing each photo. He did not deliberately want to embarrass Zhu Huaicheng to do some useless work. In fact, he only needs to listen to the CDs of those music companies. You can judge the level of its music energy by the tracks in it, and it’s no problem to directly select the highest one.
But if it’s convenient and convenient to "operate" like this, there is a problem. Yang Can now has two CDs with separate tracks, one for the special accompaniment music and the other for the singer’s singing. He You can see the different energy values of the singer and the producers behind the scenes.
Singer Yang Can of course knows the details as soon as he listens to it, but the musical accompaniment is not that simple. Music is not like a TV series or a movie. A popular song is usually two to four minutes long, and the melody is repetitive. And many sections are very short, which can also cause plagiarism easily.
It is possible that a piece of music has very high energy, but the composer copied the works of some foreign singers. There are hundreds of millions of music works all over the world. Not to mention Yang Can, even those in the music industry who have worked hard for more than ten years cannot beat their chests. To distinguish its authenticity.
There are many examples of this kind of Chinese pop singers. For example, a well-known band in the Mainland has identified four works that are suspected of plagiarizing "Swallow" by the Korean singer Jin Jiancheng, "turnbacktime" by the Belgian K3 group, and the *** band puffy. "K2g running towards you" and British singer geri halliwell's "calling".
This band has become so popular with plagiarism, but when it first started, no one noticed it.
Yang Can didn’t want him to work hard for a long time, picking out some talented and potential music works, but in the end found that all were plagiarism, so he asked Zhu Huaicheng to take photos of those creators holding their own CDs, just look at his consciousness energy Whether the form of is the same as the consciousness energy on cd can be distinguished.
"Those with less than 400 energy must be excluded..." After spending three hours listening to all the music works, Yang Can listed a standard in his heart, manually moved it, and eliminated all those works with less than 400 energy, and he bought it. At least a group of talented young musicians is needed, the mess is meaningless to him.
The remaining seven companies with works that have achieved 400 energy levels, unfortunately, the so-called contracted "singers" in them are all very amateurs, with energy less than 250, almost all of them can’t be used. Yang Can "kneaded" "kneaded" his temples. "Whether you think about it, the song, first deal with the professional musicians. These companies have a history of releasing records, but unfortunately the commercial "ness" of music is not enough, so there is almost no precedent for success.
What Yang Can wants now is a group of potential young musicians. Those core members who are over 30 years old are also eliminated. They also need to have their own professional recording studios and hire recording studios from other companies.
Well, there is another condition. It is best for the company to have its own distribution channel, that is, the top leader must be an experienced person in the circle at the helm, so that it can save itself a lot of trouble.
Yang Can carefully compared and studied the information of the remaining independent music companies, and finally singled out a company called "Sunny Baby". This company was established in 2007 and released three records. The owner was Fenghua Records. Han Ping, a senior producer of Han Ping, whose only band "Hang Tian Pao" is a rap group, and the lead singer is Han Ping's nephew Han Haozhe.
Although all three records have appeared in major record shops, they have never sold 500 records. Of course, they are losing more and more.
"Hang Tian Pao" now only sings in a few bars and sings some English saliva songs, all relying on Han Ping's relationship, and it is also the main economic income of this company.
Although the lead singer of "Hang Tian Pao" Han Haozhe is really good at singing, his rap writing is indeed quite tasteful. The arrangement and performance of the few musicians in the band are all top-notch.
Yang Can initially selected this independent music company "Hang Tian Pao" in Taipei, and asked Zhu Huaicheng to call tomorrow to inquire about him. He is not good at business operations. This matter needs to be taught to Zhu Huaicheng. This fat man during this period Following Yang Can, he has also improved a lot, not only in advertising, but also in capital operation and negotiation capabilities.
It’s also fortunate that Yang Can always keeps him by his side, and under the energy resonance, the ugly fat man’s consciousness energy also unknowingly reaches 314.
Of course, Yang Can has asked Zhu Huaicheng to choose a partner in Taiwan during this time, that is, Chen Jianing. In fact, Yang Can has singled Jiang Chenglin for a favor and asked Chen Jianing to come and help him form a company. It is said that this senior music critic Chen Jianing was not very willing yet, but in the end he couldn't ask for the chairman of the SEF.
Yang Can’s mind-reading skills are of course okay to see people. After observing this period of time, I found that Chen Jianing is indeed an individual talent. He graduated from the famous entertainment college in Huagang Art School in Taiwan. He also played a band in the 1980s. Successfully transformed into writing reviews for some professional magazines. Since he is very professional, his character is also very decent.
Rather than find a new face on his own, he should find this ready-made helper to cooperate. Yang Can also assured Chen Jianing that once his company is set up and operating normally, Chen Jianing can leave the job with a one-year salary according to his own hospital choice, or Keep staying.
Under Yang Can's arrangement, Zhu Huaicheng also set up the basic structure of the acquisition team, including a legal consultant Zhou Qiangren, a professional financial accountant, and an actuary responsible for asset evaluation.
First of all, Zhu Huaicheng contacted the "Sunny Doll", and the boss Han Ping did have the intention to change hands. Han Pingyuan was only carrying a group of people to continue his musical dream, but now he can only rely on his original savings to support it. , He doesn't want "Hang Tian Pao" to be dissolved, so he wants to find new investors.
So as long as the price is right, and the talented band "Sky Cannon" is left, then he is willing to sell the music company.
As a result, Yang Can’s acquisition team obtained a financial report from Sunny Doll, which clearly stated the company’s revenue and expenditure, all the ties, debts, various miscellaneous expenses, and assets.
Yang Can asked the hired professional accountant to make an audit report on this report, and then met with Han Ping in person. The other party was indeed honest. After the asset appraisal was saved, the workload of the actuary began to conduct a comprehensive review of the "Sunny Doll". Valuation.
The main action to be valued is the office and recording studio in Taipei, and the batch of very high-end recording equipment. Han Ping's uncle and nephew are real musicians. Many of the equipment is high-end goods they bought from abroad, just the yamahao. The number of digital mixing consoles reached nearly one million Taiwan dollars.
Of course, there are also some intangible assets, such as the previous brokerage agreement of "Hang Tian Pao", and some business relationships in the industry.
The middle-aged actuary with glasses made the whole company so furious. The final assessment result is that the value of the "Sunny Doll" should be about NT$21.5 million. This company is indeed good in all aspects. The company, although small, has five internal organs.
After reading the evaluation report, Yang Can’s acquisition team discussed that the stepmother really eliminated the first offer of TWD 12 million from the "Sunny Baby". As a completely "sexual" takeover, this first offer was not too low. Of course, it can’t be said to be high. After all, it’s only half of the market value. Han Ping’s response is simple, 25 million TWD, and the specific matters of this acquisition began. At this time, it was handed over to Zhu Huaicheng to lead the team into the negotiation table. You have come to the stage where I am going.
"Mr. Chen, you should know that there are many independent music companies like you in Taipei. I think they should be much cheaper than you." Zhu Huaicheng "showed" an indifferent expression, looking at Han Ping across the desk. : "25 million Taiwan dollars, maybe you can buy five such companies..."
Han Ping angrily patted the table to answer Zhu Huaicheng’s question: "You should have seen our recording studio. It is the top five equipment in Taipei. If you don’t know it, you can find anyone who understands music equipment. Let’s take a look and see if this recording studio is worth 20 million~~"
Both you come and I go, the number finally stopped at 22 million. Zhu Huaicheng and Chen Jianing both looked at each other and thought about this number. Zhu Huaicheng made a look at Yang Can and asked, "It's almost done, okay." ?" Yang Can smiled slightly and made an eighteen gesture under the table, which means 18 million, not more than a penny.
Zhu Huaicheng took a sigh of relief. In my heart, you guys are too cruel. The other party bit 22 million for a long time, so you went to 4 million in one go? However, Zhu Huaicheng still clenched his teeth and put forward this number, seemingly extremely determined.
Han Ping's faces turned blue on the spot, and they were so angry that they couldn't speak.
"We have finally quoted on this number, Mr. Chen, you decide for yourself."
Yang Can got up directly, pulled the astonished Zhu Huaicheng and the team members to leave. Zhu Huaicheng walked in the corridor, looking at Yang Can, and said uneasyly: "Are you too exaggerated? I think their bottom line is 2200. ."
Chen Jianing and the actuary also felt that Yang Can was a bit too much, and they were silent. Seeing Yang Can's confidence, Zhu Huaicheng poked his head and looked at the office not far away with a hint of luck. It was a pity that he was disappointed. , Han Ping and the others never chased it out.
As soon as he got out and got on the bus, Zhu Huaicheng snatched cigarettes from Yang Can’s purse angrily, and said, “Okay, it’s a smashing act~! I’ll just say that I’ll do it, you layman just add chaos. ~! You really think this is the plot of the movie. When you report the numbers and go out, people will chase you out crying and crying and hug your thigh to accept it."
Seeing his old friend's indignity, Yang Can felt funny and glanced at the direction of the office from the car window.
"In fact, I look at this Han Ping as if he is busy sending his son abroad to study, and he is in a hurry to spend money. I think he should be able to agree to the price."
"Just blow it.. How come we haven't found something, do you know it?" Zhu Huaicheng took a bit of a cigarette, looking very depressed.
Three days later, when Zhu Huaicheng was discussing the target of a new acquisition with Chen Jianing, Han Ping called. After Zhu Huaicheng took the call, he looked at Yang Can who was lying on the sofa and reading the music score in astonishment and shouted:
"Yang Zi~~Han Ping called and said he wanted to talk to us again."
Yang Can was not surprised, without even lifting his eyelids, and replied: "Oh." Then he slowly turned his head to remind: "Remember that it's still the same price, not more than a penny."
Zhu Huaicheng nodded affirmatively: "Understood." As soon as the other party made the call, as long as he was not a fool, he would know what it meant. Zhu Huaicheng just felt that he was a little confused. After investigating so much, could there be any omissions? Yang Can, the person who sits in the office every day and reads music scores, does not go out to know the affairs of the world. This is too depressing.

At the end of autumn in Taipei, the temperature is far lower than that in Nanshi, and even wearing a single shirt does not feel cold. Today is the day of the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, one of the three major gold awards in Taiwan.
The crew of "Fengshenbang" was full of enthusiasm and looked forward to the results of today’s awards. They came to the scene early. The lively scene, all the actors and directors of the film industry greeted each other, and the atmosphere seemed extremely enthusiastic, sitting at the awards ceremony. Yang Xiuya in the front row kept looking at her watch, and Xiumei slightly frowned: "Why hasn't this guy Yang Can arrived yet? It will start in an hour, is he going to pinch?"
Everyone in the crew arrived early, only Yang Can did not.
At this time, two large trucks collided on the highway in Taichung, blocking everyone's path forward, and Yang Canbai's "colored" commercial Mercedes Benz was also blocked behind.
Due to the exchange activities of the Journalist Association, Yang Can also took Xia Meng to inspect several newspapers in Taichung. After staying for a few days, he was busy this morning and drove over. Unexpectedly, he encountered something like this.
Yang Can himself is also very anxious. It would be a shame if he could not participate in the Golden Horse Awards. After all, this is the top first film. He created it from scratch. He thinks it is good for those foreign awards. He really takes the Golden Horse Award very seriously. After all, this Taiwanese film award is one of the highest honors for Chinese films.
Seeing the two middle-aged drivers in front arguing loudly in Taiwanese, Yang Can, who put his hands on the steering wheel, also seemed quite helpless. He could only smoke helplessly by leaning on the side in depression, but Xia Meng, the passenger seat, appeared very excited. Point to two small pavilions with glass walls on the side of the road:
"Look~ there are bikini girls~!"
Yang Can glanced over there. Two small pavilions standing across the street were surrounded by a lot of driver brothers who bought betel nuts, while the two women protruding from the glass wall were all dressed up and wearing heavy make-up. , Whisperingly recommended the betel nut in his hand.
"Isn't it the betel nut Xishi?" Yang Can looked dispirited, but turned his head to look at Xia Meng unkindly: "Girl...how do I think your accent is a bit similar to them? Is it possible that you have done this before? "
Xia Meng was so angry that she hugged Yang Can's shoulders, and tickled Yang Can's itching with a smile and cursing with her hand, "How can I be judged by you? If I had made betel nut soup, how could I still fall into your hands today? , We are such a handsome guy in Taiwan, who chased me away a long time ago when I drove by~"
Smelling the fragrant body scent of young girls in the car, Yang Can used to affectionately embrace Xia Meng and gently kissed her on the cheek: "Chasing you? I think I can bear your temper."
"Hey, pay attention to the influence~! Farewell to Nanshi and be so unscrupulous~" Zhu Huaicheng, who was sleeping in the back seat, woke up and protested, but was immediately attracted by the two cool betel nut Xishis, refreshed and rubbed. Proceed to open the car doorway:
"Let's also buy some betel nuts to taste and experience Taiwan specialties."
Yang Can shook his head helplessly, and Zhu Huaicheng walked to the front of the two small pavilions. He smiled and watched the two betel nut Xishi's Lus appear thin, and just wanted to pay for a chat. Two sentences, but when I heard the brake sound of "Zi", I saw a red motorcycle stopped. Two girls with hot bodies, wearing cute and miniskirts, and wearing helmets jumped down. Holding a big playing trumpet and a box of betel nuts in his hand.
Before everyone reacted, Yang Can couldn't help but opened his mouth slightly. These two... Body energy 412 and 413
