my gilded age

Chapter 91 Red Star Bar Opens
By the way, Bai Shiqiu really didn't expect to buy the Hongxing Production Co., Ltd. brand at first, and he didn't even expect that the brand would be so cheap.

The price of 50 yuan, in Bai Shiqiu's opinion, is really a waste.

But in the eyes of others, the current 50 yuan can buy a house in a good area of ​​Beijing, in a place like Lufthansa on the East Third Ring Road.

The record industry is really in such bad shape right now. There is almost no place to make money. Whoever makes the mistake will pay, and whoever makes the mistake will lose. It is even better not to release the CD. After the CD is released, the pirated version will be popular and the genuine version will be popular. If no one buys it, it means it is serving pirates.

Just ask if you are angry?
Brother Leslie sobered up and forgot everything else except the 50 yuan sale of the company.

It's not that he is decadent, but that he really doesn't see any future, and there is strong competition from other big companies. The record industry is basically burning money these days, especially EMI, which is just throwing money at people.

Originally, many of the good cabbages he planted were dug up by others during harvest time.

So, Brother Leslie and Bai Shiqiu quickly signed an agreement. Bai Shiqiu didn't say anything, and quickly transferred the money. He is now the boss of the Red Star Production Co.

Well, how great, our bar will be called the Red Star Production Club Bar, the theater troupe will be the Red Star Production Club Theater Company, and then the record company will be added. As for the others, it will be a movie studio, Red Star Production Company, TV drama production center, Red Star Production Company , the best is the brokerage company, Red Star Production Co., Ltd.!

The problem of Baek Shi Qiu being too poorly named has been solved. Although there are currently no movie studios, TV dramas, agents or other companies, let them take up the name in the form of a leather company first.

However, both Brother Wang and Brother Boy felt a little guilty about such a matter, and felt guilty towards Bai Shiqiu. Without them, this old Bai brother would not have spent 50 yuan to buy such a record company, right?
So, the two people came to see Lao Bai again, and the three of them made an appointment at Bai Shiqiu, a small bar, to have some more drinks.

"My place will be renovated soon. Now it's ready. With the word red star, our final decoration is to add the element of red star." Bai Shiqiu seemed to have no idea about buying such a company for 50 yuan. Not caring at all.

"Lao Bai, your idea is quite good, but... this 50, this..." Brother Wang was still wearing big leather pants, very impressive, but he felt a little hesitant when he spoke.

Young Master Xu was a little more direct. After all, his current boss has become Bai Shiqiu. "Old Bai, let's open the sky and speak openly. Don't you know the true situation of Red Star?"

Bai Shiqiu laughed when he heard this, "Of course I know. Hongxing's life is really not good right now. I'm afraid it's all thanks to you, Young Brother, to support me."

"Well..." Young man Xu was a little shy. Even though he was old, he was not as thick-skinned as Bai Shiqiu. "There is also a wheat field band."

"I know this too, their songs..." Bai Shiqiu was ready to continue the conversation along this route.

But Brother Wang spoke here, "To put it simply, Lao Bai, you bought this Red Star, what are you going to do next? This company is losing money now, we all know that, then, Is there any way you can make money?"

The young man also nodded, but Bai Shiqiu was still smiling.

Bai Shiqiu had known for a long time that this was the reason for them, and Bai Shiqiu had already thought of this way to make money, or to turn losses into profits.

Then he smiled at the two of them and said: "I really want to thank you two brothers. I, Lao Bai, have a good understanding of this matter. I definitely didn't buy this company to be the boss of Young Brother. Hehe, in fact, if Young Brother If you want to run the business together, I can count on you as a shareholder, and so can Brother Wang, no problem."

"Hey, Lao Bai, tell me quickly, what can you do?" Young Master Xu really didn't care about that butt thing.

And what can Bai Shiqiu say?

"This matter, hehe... have you two brothers forgotten what we did before?"

"Before?" Xu Shaojun and Wang Feng were both confused.

"That commercial." Bai Shiqiu reminded.

"Um..." Young Master Xu and Wang Feng looked at each other, and then said, "Do you want us to shoot another commercial and use the money from the commercial to make music? Isn't it unnecessary?"

He just thought of this, and Bai Shiqiu really felt that... he might as well say it.

"Let me make it clear. Two brothers, you haven't forgotten the advertisement we shot. What is the feature of that mobile phone? It's the ringtone! Our Red Star Production Co., Ltd. still has a lot of copyrights? And we also have We have certain production capabilities, right? And we still have people, right? That Feifei?"

Xu Shaojun and Wang Feng finally understood this time and said in unison: "You mean, let's make mobile phone ringtones?"

"Yes!" Bai Shiqiu laughed.

However, they both still had a problem, "How much money can I make from this thing?"

"Hahaha..." Bai Shiqiu just laughed.

Yes, how much money can you make?
Forget it, I won't explain much, because at this time, musicians like Xu Juan and Wang Feng, they can't see the truth in it, and even many people can't see it.

Right now, at the end of 2001, in fact, after Bai Shiqiu shot the commercial last year, a thing called Monternet appeared. In other words, selling ringtones will soon be less troublesome.

But Bai Shiqiu still has something to do with it, especially why he bought this red star, not just for a name.

Then, Bai Shiqiu said this. "We have cooperated with MOTO and shot commercials for them, so of course we can continue to use this line. The two brothers think about it carefully. Now they can make their own ringtones and sell them. However, our advantages are obvious. Our Red Star is a serious music record company. We can definitely continue to cooperate with MOTO, and MOTO has a strong relationship with telecommunications companies. In this case, China Mobile, MOTO, and our Red Star will join forces to conquer the market of mobile phone ringtones. Two brothers, think about it, who will make the decision?"

These words, the idea behind them, and this money-making plan were definitely advanced and bold. Xu Shaojun and Wang Feng were confused. In their eyes, how much money can you make from ringtones?

But Bai Shiqiu knew how big this market was. He even made the first batch of Internet celebrities famous back then, and many people made their first pot of gold by relying on mobile phone ringtones.

Now, Bai Shiqiu has the best opportunity.

"Then, over there at MOTO..."

"I told Manager Lin before and he was very interested."

At this point, Bai Shiqiu has basically told everything about the matter. As for MOTO, he is not worried. As far as Manager Lin talked with him, the current MOTO has changed. That Vice President Chen has driven away the Malaysians. Yes, in fact, both of them are considered to be members of the Taiwanese gang.

And the most interesting thing is that Manager Lin said that Chen Yongzheng directly took the word Bai Shiqiu used to criticize MOTO, simply modified it, and used it to criticize his boss, thus gaining the favor of the head office.

This is so interesting.

Bai Shiqiu is full of confidence in the money-making plan of ringtones.

In this case, after we finally add the red star element to our bar, we have to open it. The time is just before Christmas, so we don’t have to choose a date. It can just be Christmas Eve. Let’s hold a grand opening ceremony.

It's really a bit awesome to have such a ritual in a small bar.

But, this is no ordinary bar.

Bai Shiqiu is not religious about Christmas, but he knows that businesses have been planning this holiday for a long time, and this year, it is considered a very popular holiday. Many literary and artistic young people are preparing to become men and women on this day. Then let's take a ride.

As for the rest, Bai Shiqiu just invited his two brothers to use his connections and invite everyone he could. At least everyone from the rock circle in Beijing came to show his face like me.

Not to mention, the two brothers are very helpful and even invited the eldest sister Tian.

It has green bricks and green tiles, and a big red five-pointed star stands on the top. The signboard below reads a few big characters, Red Star Production Co., but inside there is a lot of light singing.

When every night comes~
Loneliness~Always by my side~
Every evening when my heart beats ~
It's my infinite tenderness~
"Wow oh oh!"

"Nice!"

The eldest sister Tian Zei has a typhoon. As soon as her voice came out, she was so recognizable that all the guests and people in the circle applauded her.

Bai Shiqiu's small shop has really started to open, and now that it has reached this point, Na Yuanyuan doesn't say much more.

"Lao Bai, I really have yours. This store is okay."

"It's enough for me, Lao Bai, to be praised by Yuanyuan."

"You! You are just too poor!"

"Ha ha……"

The two of them were flirting, and Bai Shiqiu was shameless. He not only found many celebrities in the music industry, but also his classmates and teachers.

boom!boom!
Tang Wei and Ma Li were drinking a little fiercely at this time, pouring down their glasses very hard.

"..." Other students basically didn't dare to come forward.

But at this moment, another person came to the Red Star Production Co. bar.

As soon as she appeared, she attracted a lot of attention.

"Old Bai, congratulations to you." It's not Mr. Zhou.

　Thank you to the bird of paradise, thank you to Cangquan Yueying, thank you to the uneducated master, thank you all!Thank you!

　　Those ringtones from back then... I won’t go into details anymore, they are all memories. I would like to recommend and add them to my favorites. Thank you very much.
