In the evening, Li Zekai held a banquet at a high-end club.
When Xu Yiyang arrived with Fang Junhui, many people were already sitting in the box.
At first glance, almost all of them were middle-aged people around 40 years old, except for a young man with long hair, who Xu Yiyang recognized at a glance.
Xie Tingfeng.
Xie Tingfeng, who is not yet 20 years old, has long rebellious hair and looks a bit like a delinquent, but sitting next to a middle-aged man, he looks very honest.
As for the middle-aged man next to him, Xu Yiyang recognized him after taking a few more glances.
Emperor's boss, Yang Shoucheng.
It seems that Xie Tingfeng has been signed to Emperor since his debut.
Moreover, he just released the album "Thank You for Your Love 1999" last year. It was just released last year and it immediately became popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
At the end of the year, this gust of wind has blown to the mainland. In addition, he just participated in the Spring Festival Gala in February, and now he can be said to be the new male star among Chinese male stars.
Xu Yiyang didn't know the other people.
At this time, Li Zekai enthusiastically invited Xu Yiyang to sit down on the sofa, and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, this is Mr. Xu I'm talking about. He is only nineteen years old this year. He is already worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and this That’s just what I know, Mr. Xu has many other industries in the mainland that I don’t know about, and they are probably quite large in scale.”
After Li Zekai spoke, everyone present couldn't help but cast surprised glances at Xu Yiyang, and praised him for being a heroic young man.
Nineteen years old, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, is indeed a bit scary. Many people present do not have such a high net worth.
Xu Yiyang smiled humbly and said: "A small achievement cannot be said to be a hero, so please don't praise me."
Being so rich yet so humble made Xu Yiyang win the favor of many people at once.
Li Zekai then introduced the bosses sitting here to Xu Yiyang.
The first one introduced was Yang Shoucheng.
Yang Shoucheng shook hands with Xu Yiyang, then pointed to Xie Tingfeng beside him, and said to Xu Yiyang: "Mr. Xu, this is Xie Tingfeng, a young artist under my banner. Like you, Tingfeng is not yet twenty years old. He has just debuted. , has great potential. I just went to Yanjing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala in the Mainland in February. It is very popular now. I hope Mr. Xu will take care of me in the future."
Although Xie Tingfeng is a few months older than Xu Yiyang, has just become famous, and is well known in the mainland, on this occasion, he is the one with the lowest qualifications and status.
Because Xu Yiyang has Li Zekai's endorsement, he is actually the one with the qualifications and status second only to Li Zekai among these people.
Although Yang Shoucheng has a lot of net worth, his current net worth is really not as much as several hundred million US dollars.
In addition, everyone thought Xu Yiyang was Li Zekai's good friend, so they took a higher look at him.
Therefore, Xie Tingfeng took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Yiyang very humbly, bowed slightly and said: "Hello Mr. Xu, I am Tingfeng, please take care of me in the future."
Xu Yiyang shook hands with him, smiled slightly, and asked him: "My sister likes you very much. Please give me some signed posters and signed albums later. I will take them back to her."
Upon hearing that Xu Yiyang's sister liked him very much, Xie Tingfeng smiled shyly and said, "Mr. Xu, what's your sister's name? I can write some blessings for her on the album and poster."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "My sister's name is Xu Yishan. You can just write Shanshan when the time comes. Thank you!"
Yang Shoucheng said hurriedly: "Mr. Xu, Tingfeng's focus will be on the mainland from now on. Please take care of me in the future."
Xu Yiyang nodded and said with a smile: "By the way, I just started a clothing brand. It's just for fun. If Tingfeng is interested, you can endorse it for me!"
Before coming to Hong Kong, Li Xuan and Lin Tianyi hoped to start building SuperX's brand awareness.
Xu Yiyang is also thinking that when he has enough money, he will find two celebrities to endorse and then promote brand advertising.
Fortunately, now there is a way to make money, and I meet Xie Tingfeng again.
Xie Tingfeng is indeed very popular these days. He endorses many brands and has relatively high TV exposure. He is very popular among girls.
In addition, he is very young and has a strong youthful and rebellious atmosphere. Therefore, Xu Yiyang thinks it is quite appropriate for him to endorse SuperX.
When Yang Shoucheng heard that Xu Yiyang said that he wanted to give Xie Tingfeng an endorsement, he immediately said excitedly: "Mr. Xu, you really chose the right person to let Tingfeng speak for you. If you are really ready to sign Tingfeng, I will give you the endorsement fee when the time comes. 50% off!”
Li Zekai on the side smiled and said: "Boss Yang, give it to me when the time comes for the endorsement contract between Ting Feng and Mr. Xu, and I will pay for it."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Master Li, why are you so embarrassed? I'd better pay for it myself."
After saying that, he said to Yang Shoucheng: "I'm going to sign with Tingfeng for five years. Please give me a price."
Yang Shoucheng said with a smile: "Tingfeng's current endorsement costs about two to three million Hong Kong dollars a year. In five years, it will be fifteen million. But since Mr. Xu has such a good relationship with Mr. Li, I will spend this money I won’t take any money from you!”
In fact, to Yang Shoucheng, fifteen million is not a small amount of money, and giving Xu Yiyang a 50% discount is already a great deal.
But when he heard that Li Zekai was going to pay for Xu Yiyang, he felt that the relationship between Xu Yiyang and Li Zekai was very unusual, so in this case, it was better to give Li Zekai a favor.
Anyway, for Xie Tingfeng, it’s just to take a few more advertisements, photos, and attend a few events.
Moreover, he is a newcomer, and the money he can get from the company's brokerage appointment is not much. When the time comes, he only needs to pay him a little hard work privately, and that will be enough.
What's more, his father owes him a lot of money, and he is now in the stage of paying off the debt for his father.
But more importantly, through this matter, we can get closer to Li Zekai and Xu Yiyang, which is very cost-effective.
Li Zekai was also very aware of these face-related matters. The reason why he proposed to pay the bill himself was to make Yang Shoucheng more conscious and get it for free.
He felt that although he had basically obtained Xu Yiyang's shares, he still hoped to maintain a good relationship with Xu Yiyang in the future.
After all, Tencent's future revenue will depend on his help to find a solution. If he has nothing to do with Tencent in the future and abandons it, he, the major shareholder, will still suffer the loss.
Xu Yiyang also saw this. Since Yang Shoucheng said so, he no longer refused. He immediately shook hands with Yang Shoucheng and said, "Boss Yang is so generous. I can't thank you enough!"
Yang Shoucheng immediately said: "Hey, Mr. Xu doesn't have to be so polite!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Xie Tingfeng: "Tingfeng, Mr. Xu's endorsement, you must do it carefully, do you understand?"
Xie Tingfeng also knew that Xu Yiyang had an unusual background and had an unusual relationship with Li Zekai, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
Li Zekai introduced other people to Xu Yiyang, including the heads of Universal Records, Warner Records, EMI Hong Kong, and the head of Taiwan Rolling Stone Records in Hong Kong.
Under these major record companies, there are also many song companies and sub-brands, which basically include all Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music.
The rest are only some very small companies, such as Alfa Music, which is not well-known yet, and Wu Zongxian’s company. Not many people in the music circle know about this company, but Xu Yiyang does remember it because Zhou Jie Wheel will debut from this company in the second half of this year.
After everyone got to know each other and sat together, Xu Yiyang went straight to the point and expressed his thoughts.
He said to everyone: "Actually, I asked Mr. Li to invite everyone here today because I have a good deal to give you money."
As soon as they heard that there was a good deal about giving away money, everyone hurriedly looked over and curiously asked about the details.
Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "That's right, everyone has record contracts with many artists, and also has the copyrights of many well-known records. As for me, I want to buy out a copyright from everyone that you have absolutely no use for, which is the one played on mobile phones. copyright."
Everyone was surprised when they heard it.
"Mobile phone playback?" The person in charge of EMI Records asked in surprise: "What kind of number is this?"
Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "I am going to make a small attempt, that is, let everyone use their mobile phones to call the audio station, and then request songs from the audio station and listen to them directly on their mobile phones."
"Listening on a mobile phone? The sound quality must be terrible..." Xie Tingfeng, who started his career as a singer, first thought that the sound quality of the mobile phone speakers was very poor.
As he spoke, he added: "There is only one receiver on the mobile phone, which is monophonic. The listening experience must be very poor, and if it is affected by the signal, there may be lags and interference, and the experience will be even worse..."
Xu Yiyang nodded and said with a smile: "You are right. In my opinion, this is indeed a problem, but at least you can listen. If you can listen, part of it has been solved."
He didn't dare to say that he wanted to make colorful tones, so the more bizarre it made these people think, the more meaningless they thought it was, and he could get it at a very cheap price.
Yang Shoucheng said: "Mr. Xu, the cost of mobile phone communication is still very expensive. It takes several minutes to listen to a song on the phone, which costs a lot of money. The communication fee for listening to a few songs is almost enough to go to the audio and video store." I bought an album at the store, are you sure someone will use this business?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I'm not sure, anyway, it's just for fun. A lot of business is just for fun. If you succeed, you will lose. If you lose, it doesn't matter."
Saying that, Xu Yiyang added: "You just need to exclusively authorize me the copyright of all your music to be played on mobile phones. I will pay you a royalty every year. However, I want all the copyrights related to mobile phones, which means that I will use all the copyrights related to mobile phones in the future." The copyright for the format to be played on mobile phones belongs to me."
Xu Yiyang then added: "By the way, this copyright not only covers all your current songs, but also includes your newly signed songs in the next twenty years."
Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and I feel like this guy is just messing around.
Who listens to music on their mobile phone? How to listen to music on mobile phone? In addition to selling records, record companies' income channels are selling copyrights to TV stations, radio stations, and film and television companies. They can't earn a penny from mobile phones.
Now this guy wants to buy the mobile phone copyright of their songs. Isn’t this just a way to throw away money
