Chapter 213 Rewards arrive
[why? ]
[Did I accidentally buy you something on Amazon? ]
It took less than three seconds for Han Yi to send out what he thought was a humorous reply. The two ticks on the far right of the dialog box flashed one after another, and then quickly turned blue.This means that Madison has read his message.

This girl can't live without wifi for a moment.

[I sent you a message at eleven o'clock, and you are only replying now? ]
Unsurprisingly, there was an emoticon package attached to this menacing question.

In the center of the picture is an embarrassed-looking Will Poulter from "The Millers."

It says-

People say: We hate people who reply late.

The following is -

Me: Did you still get a reply?
Han Yi covered his nose, and before he could laugh, a Facetime request popped up on the phone screen.

From Madison Beal.

Why do these Americans like to make videos for people when they have nothing to do?

Han Yi sighed softly, raised his index finger to Antoine Gachet across the desk, indicating that he had a call, and then pressed the call button.

"Yo, man, what are you doing?"

Madison's face almost fills the entire screen. It is indeed a fashion icon regarded as a beauty and skin care textbook by Instagram girls. It is so close to the camera that Han Yi can't see any blemishes on her face, even slightly There are no larger pores.Although I know that this is the effect of makeup, but among the Caucasian race, it is still considered a talent.

"in a meeting."

Han Yi turned the phone screen around and pointed it at Antoine Gachet.

"With Antoine."

Han Yi bites the name Antoine very hard, not because the French name is a mouthful, but because he wants to use this method to vaguely remind Madison that there are other people in the office, so don't say anything out of line.

However, from the way Madison greeted him after connecting to Facetime, there should be someone beside her.

"Hi, Antoine."

"Good afternoon, Tracy."

In Los Angeles, Madison and Antoine had a double affair, both in their offices in the Concert Tower.This kind of European uncle who is elegant, funny, and well-clothed is very popular with Madison and Billy.It was only recently that the two of them figured out that Han Yi's investment manager was not gay, which surprised them a little.

It's unbelievable that a man who insists on wearing a French beret every day on the west coast where the streets are full of big underpants has a normal sexual orientation.

"Bili and Phineas are also with me."

The camera turned slightly, and the O'Connor brothers and sisters, who were lying on a sofa with her, waved to Han Yi.

"Where are you?"

"The dressing room at the Verizon Center, just finished rehearsal, having dinner."

Raising the phone with his left hand, Madison picked up the plastic salad box on his lap and showed it to Han Yi.A simple Caesar salad topped with a few seemingly invisible pieces of white chicken.Not Madison's favorite food, but it's her go-to ritual before every concert.

Enough heat without making her feel too tired.

"So are we."

Bi Li leaned in front of the camera and put her own salad box together with Madison's. They were both Caesar salads. The only difference was that she couldn't see any minced meat in her bowl.

"Those... red ones in you, are they breadsticks?"

"Cheetos." Billy picked up a piece of Cheetos with salad dressing, "and Takis potato chips, all of which are spicy."

"I know you're eating a vegetarian salad..." Han Yi moved the screen a few inches away, with the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, "but this is the most unhealthy vegetarian salad I've ever seen."

"Who says veganism must be healthy?" Billy shook her head and put the Cheetos into her mouth. "I exist to tell the world that veganism can also be very harmful to the body."

"This is one of the inspirational stories that the world doesn't need." Han Yi didn't intend to continue chatting with Bi Li, so Han Yi seized his precious time and cared about the career development of his artists, "I heard that the tickets in Washington sold well. pretty good?"

"It's not bad, at least it's better than what they sell in Ohio."

When answering this question, Madison could not hear any mood swings.After all, she and Bi Li were just the opening guests of Future Now: The Tour. Tickets sold well, and the atmosphere of the hot show was naturally good.But even if there are many vacancies, it doesn't matter, because the two of them get a fixed fee for each performance.No one would buy tickets for the whole concert just to watch the popular performance of two newcomers. On the other hand, even if the box office sales are not as expected, it has nothing to do with them.

That's something Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas have to worry about.

So far, none of Live Nation's 90-person venues have been sold out.The attendance rate is about 65% when it is the highest, and it can only hover between 70-7% in the poorer games.The worst was on July 19 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The Hershey Park Stadium, which can accommodate 19611 people, ended up with only 11756 people, and the attendance rate was only 59.94%.The one that starts tomorrow in Columbus, Ohio, now looks set to break Hershey's record.So far, the City of Value Stadium with 12761 people has recorded sales of 7203 tickets and an attendance rate of 56.44%. Demi and Nick's team are even discussing whether to seal off all the seats on the left and right to let the audience All sitting in one area, it will look fuller.

"I heard that many people bought tickets temporarily today. There were about two to three hundred people. I don't know why."

"Maybe it's to see you and Bili." Han Yi teased, "Although I don't want to say that, judging from the current rankings on the bulletin board, it's obvious that we are more popular."

Nick Jonas, who is flying solo, would never have imagined the results of the first week of "Cold Water". "Chains" peaked at No. 13, "Jealous" peaked at No. 7, and "Close," which is still on the Hot 100 singles chart, peaked at No. 14.There are two main titles in each album, and they struggled to hover around the top ten, and fell to the middle with a little carelessness. This is Kojima Records, a subsidiary company jointly established with Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas. Brand Safehouse can achieve the limit.

Demi Lovato is in a similar situation, or worse. During the "Heart Attack" period, the highest ranking could reach No. 10, but when it came to "Cool for the Summer", the peak score dropped by one. "Confident" turned around when it reached the 21st place. As for the new single "Stone Cold" released on March 3 this year, it didn't enter the main list at all.

This list performance for two or three consecutive years undoubtedly clearly outlines the steady decline in popularity of Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas, with no hope of a comeback in the short term. Live Nation is willing to give them a venue with thousands of people, largely because of their past glory.

And, even factoring in the lingering popularity of Camp Rock and the Jonas Brothers, the duo would have to co-star to convince a skeptical Live Nation to start the project.

What's even more embarrassing is that the two of them have been doing everything together for the past few months, and they have no other tasks on various talk shows. They only want to promote the tour, and they are short of official marriage hype. In the end, it doesn't matter whether the venue is 6000 people or 20000 people Man, no show puts up a "sold out" sign.

On July 2016, 7, there was no Demi Lovato on the latest Billboard singles list, only Nick Jonas and Tove Lowe's "Close" ranked 26th .

In contrast to their two popular guests, Madison Bill's "Cold Water" airborne runner-up needless to say, since the release of the single on Friday, the number of fans of Madison Bill on various platforms has increased by 120 million, exceeding 610 million The first step in transforming from an Internet celebrity to a pop star.Billie Eilish's "Ocean Eyes" has been on the singles chart for almost two months. Even if there is a new single to take over, the debut single is still at No. 72, with Blake Shelton on it , below is OneRepublic.

As for the second promotional song "Bellyache", the brisk rhythm is more suitable for radio and streaming media, coupled with the gradually established partnership between Han Music and Billboard Magazine, the overall performance is much better than that of "Ocean Eyes" in the same period.42 this week, squeezed between Justin Bieber's "Sorry" and Coldplay's "Hymn for the Weekend."

In addition, the artist of Han Music has three more singles on the list. DRAM and Lil Yachty's divine song "Broccoli" has rushed to No. 29 on the singles chart due to its super high popularity on the Internet. Take a share.

The flow of "Broccoli" has also driven Lil Yachty's other song data, especially the single "2015 Night" released on Quality Control on August 8, 19.After signing with Han Music's Shrine label and artist management company Renyu, Snoop Dogg and Zhao Youzhen did not allow Lil Yachty to cut off his previous works, but instead reached a cooperation agreement with Quality Control on MV.The MV of "1 Night" is funded by the Shrine label, and the two parties share 1-[-] in the video playback revenue on the YouTube platform.

The finished MV for "1 Night" was uploaded to YouTube through Lil Yachty's personal account in early June.It coincided with the explosion period of the MV of "Broccoli". Under the algorithm recommendation of the YouTube platform, almost every music fan who clicked on "Broccoli" could see "6 Night" in the related content column on the right.As a result, this single, which had been released for almost a year, was revived and actually entered the Hot 1 singles chart for the first time on July 2016, 7, ranking 26th.

Han Music's last single on the list is from Khalid. "Location" has been playing steadily, and has never reached the top in terms of the number of radio broadcasts, but it has always remained stable in the top 52. With the launch of the MV and the increasing number of streaming media broadcasts, it has reached the [-]nd place. Gomez's "Kill Em With Kindness" was one place higher.

The trend of the old and the new in the music circle is quietly revealed in the mainstream charts week after week.

Unknowingly, Han Music Group has changed from only "Ocean Eyes" to having six singles on the chart at the same time.Although it cannot be claimed that HMG has a 6% market share in the US music industry, it is indeed exciting news.

This means that Han Music, which has just been established for a quarter, is on the fast track of development at full speed.

Therefore, I can't blame Han Yi for making such arrogant remarks that sound harsh to outsiders during the Facetime call with the artist.Judging from the current achievements of Madison and Billy, and the foreseeable career trajectories of the two in the future, in two or three years at most, it should be replaced by Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato for them. It's time to start.

In her previous life, Bi Li was in London and only played in top venues like O2.

With a net profit of 1000 million US dollars in three days, how can these second-tier musicians touch porcelain?
Han Yi had great confidence in the answers copied from the textbook for this open-book exam.

"I feel the same way."

Bi Li chewed the cheetos until they were crunchy, put the tip of her nose in front of the camera, and said mysteriously.

"Did you know that when we left the hotel to rehearse in the venue today, there were fans waiting downstairs for Tracy McGrady."

"Fans know where you live?"

"This hotel is right next to the venue, and there are commercial vehicles parked at the entrance. If I'm a fan, I can recognize it at a glance."

"That's not true!" Madison quickly waved his hand in denial, "Didn't they also ask you for your autograph?"

"They were like, 'Oh, Billy Eilish is here too, can you sign for us too'?" Billy bit the two 'too' hard, "Don't forget those Whose photo are the girls holding. Do you know, boss, my autograph was directly signed on Tracy McGrady's red carpet photo at the VMAs last year."

"Well, someone is a rock star when he wakes up."

"Don't make fun of me, you..."

"Hey, big guy!"

Madison shrank her neck and was about to refute Han Yi's joke, but was caught by the door of the locker room that was suddenly pushed open.

Standing at the door was Demi Lovato who had just finished her rehearsal.

What is she doing here?
She never entered the hot guest locker room.

"Demi is here, I'll call you later."

Lowering his voice, Madison said goodbye into the microphone, and then hung up Facetime.

The last picture Han Yi could see was that Madison couldn't see the jawline of the double chin even from the angle of death.

The last voice that can be heard is Demi Lovato's enthusiastic "Congrats on the new single"!
"What a bunch of energetic little guys."

After Han Yi put the phone back on the table, Antoine Gachet smiled and sighed.

"I also want to be like them, always on the road."

"Trust me, you don't want to be like them. Even at their age, Superman would wear out after three days of acting."

Han Yi flicked the mouse to wake up the computer that was in sleep mode. Several companies in Room 1000 purchased a batch of 27-inch iMacs for new employees last week, and one of them was given to Han Yi.Although I really can't get used to the operating system that has just been renamed macOS, but in this country of computer idiots who don't even understand mass emails, I still follow the trend and use Apple with everyone.

Han Yi opened the word on the desktop - using office software on the iMac, this is the last stubbornness of PC users - looked at Antoine Gachet: "Where did we just talk about, the progress in Europe, right? ? You continue to talk, I will remember."

"The villa in Alfama, all the documents related to the transaction were all reviewed yesterday afternoon in Lisbon. It didn't take that long, mainly because you are applying for a golden visa at the same time, so the government needs to send a separate person Auditors come to assess the value of the real estate, and each transaction document must be approved by them before it can be used as an investment share of the golden visa."

The Portuguese government does not have any restrictions on foreigners buying real estate in Portugal, but if the applicant wants to get a golden visa with ten-year tax relief, if the applicant applies for investment in the form of real estate, then in the "urban renewal area" designated by the government, that is, The local city hall has recorded that in areas where the house is more than 30 years old, you need to buy a property worth at least 35 euros.If you invest in less densely populated suburbs or rural areas, this figure will rise to 40 euros.And if it is in a prime location like the Alfama district in Lisbon, you must invest 50 euros to pass the standard review of the golden visa.

The amount was not high, but the procedures were cumbersome, and the efficiency of the PPI[-] countries was notoriously low. Therefore, the real estate transaction process was completed for almost a month before the Lisbon Municipal Government and the Portuguese government completed the last document.

"Now, this mansion with a sea view on the top of the mountain, which is only two streets away from the En Chong viewing platform, belongs to you."

"Great."

Han Yi nodded, unable to see much joy, he just wrote "Lisbon real estate purchase completed" in the word, and added the number "0.8" after it.

Only Han Yi knew what it represented.

A real estate transaction of 242.5 million euros including tax was exchanged for a reward of 194 million euros for Han Yi.

80% of the total transaction amount is exactly the minimum cashback ratio Han Yi expected.

Buying real estate in Europe for the first time is certainly a sense of accomplishment, but with a "cheap housing price" of more than 200 million euros, you can't buy any serious and good houses in the first-tier cities of your home country.In addition, Han Yi himself has no affection for Lisbon and Portugal, so the reason why he chose to set up a European branch in this country is only because of tax incentives.After the money was spent, if it wasn't for the investment manager Antoine Gachet's continuous follow-up, I might have forgotten that there was such a thing.

Under the influence of multiple mentalities, no matter how hard Han Yi, who is accustomed to eating, deliberately mobilizes his emotions, he still cannot experience too strong positive feedback from this real estate in Lisbon. The 80% return rate is not satisfactory, but it is reasonable among.

"Don't invest in property blindly - choose the city, area and style you like."

Writing down his feelings in Chinese in the document, Han Yi raised his hand to signal Antoine to continue.

"Two private equity companies, Han Capital Europe and Han Music Europe, were registered two weeks ago, but they have not been officially put into operation. They will not be able to perform their functions normally until CGD opens a company account this week. However, our lovely colleagues from Han Distribution We have already begun to contact PROs such as SACEM and GEMA, and registered under the name of Han Music Europe to enjoy membership services."

SACEM, the French Association of Music Writers, Composers and Publishers, and GEMA, the German Association for Musical Performance and Mechanical Reproduction Rights, are the two largest music royalty collecting organizations in Europe, responsible for mechanical royalties and performances in Germany, France and the French colonies respectively. Royalty monitoring and collection work.

"What about the UK? I received an email before, saying that it seems that there are some additional materials for the innovator visa?"

"Oh, that's a stupid request. Because your nationality is Chinese, you need hospital inspection materials for tuberculosis. We have asked GEP to help us exempt from this requirement." Antoine Gachet curled his lips disapprovingly, "Sometimes, I don't know what these pompous Brits are thinking... We've been delayed for two weeks, so the innovator visa from the UK side will have to wait another two weeks, and the company registration will not be available until the end of next month Done. Will it delay the income of our record company?"

"Not really, the purpose of registering a company in the UK is not for this. Our performance income in the UK is through UTA's London account, and online music income is through the settlement channels of Apple Music and Spotify. For other platforms in Europe and the UK, we temporarily use Believe Music. It’s very convenient.” Han Yi shook his head and said, “However, the London office will definitely be expanded in the future, and I also want to directly incorporate TaP into the ecosystem. I want to recruit British employees and participate in the British society. The welfare system would not work without British companies.”

"Understood, that's no problem. Do the preliminary work by the end of next month, and you can rent the office in September and open up the recruitment channels."

"Very well, before this, there is nothing we need to worry about in Europe, right?"

"If there is no other investment, then there is nothing for the time being... The next thing is New York, One57, #79, to remind you, Mr. Aluko has received the full payment and is about to hand over the house."

"Well, I know that."

Without looking at the bank account, Han Yi can also grasp the transaction trend of the penthouse in One57 in real time.why?Because yesterday, in the afternoon of Monday, July 7th, he received the long-awaited New York real estate transaction reward.

What is the ratio?
It's exactly the same number he wrote in this document - "1.8".

After several rounds of negotiations, Cora-Aluko finally agreed to sell the panoramic luxury apartment on the 3450th floor at a tax-included price of US$79 million.This deal brought Han Yi $6210 million in cash back.

It's not a joint investment fund that suddenly popped up under a certain capital management group, but real cash that appeared in the memorandum and can be freely used by him to withdraw cash.

The purchase price of 864 million U.S. dollars at No. 3950 Stella Della Road corresponds to a special investment of 1.4 million U.S. dollars from Parkway Capital.The multiple is 3.5, but it can only be used for career development, and there are many restrictions.As for #57 of One79 in New York, although the multiple is only 1.8, it is 100% owned by Han Yi and can be controlled at will.Considering that when buying the One57 apartment, Han Yi already had a Bel-Air mansion of the same level. After eating a piece of bread, the second piece of bread can still give such a rich reward, which shows that One57#79 How strong is the positive emotion brought to Han Yi.

Comparing the sea view villa in Lisbon with the panoramic apartment in Manhattan, it is not difficult to see that there is only one trick for Han Yi if he wants to quickly accumulate wealth through consumption——

In your favorite city, buy your favorite things.

Among the cities he has come into contact with so far, the areas that most stimulate his desire to buy and provide positive feedback are Beverly Hills in Los Angeles and Manhattan in New York. More specifically, Billionaires Row in Manhattan, or the Upper West Side and the Upper West Side. East End.

Next, what assets should you buy in these areas?

If you just buy real estate, there shouldn't be such a high reward ratio, right?
Apart from these two areas, is there any place that I haven't discovered yet, but I like enough to make my wealth increase rapidly?

"I mean, Mr. Han. No. 864 Stella Della Road is a new house listed for sale. It has been regularly maintained by an organization and there is no trace of residence. But on One57#79, Mr. Aluko has been renovated after all, and Lived for a while..."

While Han Yi looked at the memo on his mobile phone and fell into deep thought, Antoine Gachet was eloquently providing his advice on asset management.

“I mean, before we officially close, do we hire a professional home inspection team to do a final pre-sale full inspection of the apartment to make sure the status of #79 hasn’t changed during this time because… "

"Is it the last inspection before closing?"

Han Yi slowly raised his head, rubbing his chin.

"Antoine, do you think I need to collect the house myself?"

"Ah, if you are busy, this is of course the safest way. After all, seeing is believing."

"interesting……"

Han Yi pursed his lips and muttered to himself.

"Indeed, it's time to go to New York and change your mood."

　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a monthly ticket; thank you!Thank you!
