The legend of rebirth

Chapter 456 The Old Shed

The next morning, Ye Luo went to the airport to pick up Qin Shiyue.

Maybe it was Ye Luo's delicious breakfast, or for other reasons, Song Yan was in a good mood today, and she volunteered to be Ye Luo's driver, and the two went to pick up Qin Shiyue together.

The two arrived at Los Angeles Airport on time, and then at the passenger exit, they saw the tall and slender Qin Shiyue.

The woman was wearing a windbreaker with the front open, revealing a purple blouse inside, and exquisitely tailored trousers, showing off the slender and long legs.

Qin Shiyue didn't bring much luggage this time, just dragging a box behind her. Seeing Ye Luo, the woman took off her sunglasses and showed a beautiful smiling face.

Ye Luo secretly praised in his heart, no matter when or where he saw this woman, his mood would always brighten.

This is a very contagious beauty, extremely moving.

"Hurry up and wipe it off, you're drooling." Song Yan said lightly from the side.

Ye Luo subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth, only to realize that she had been fooled, and cast a gloomy glance at Song Yan.

A smile appeared on the corner of Song Yan's mouth, and she stepped forward to greet her: "Sister Qin, long time no see."

"Mr. Song, hello." The two stunning beauties gently hugged each other.

Ye Luo was a little strange. In China, these two women didn't see each other very well, but now they seem to be very harmonious.

It seems that Song Yan and Mai Ruina are also like this recently. In fact, they don't like each other in their hearts, but in front of me, they are as good as sisters.

Ye Luo was so terrified of the mystery inside, she simply stopped thinking about it.

Maybe it was because of Song Yan's presence, Qin Shiyue just greeted Ye Luo, and then the two of them didn't talk much, but Song Yan and Qin Shiyue had a lively chat, and Ye Luo was more like a younger brother carrying a bag.

However, Ye Luo is also used to this kind of scene. Anyway, as long as two of the three women Chu Mo'er, Song Yan, and Qin Shiyue are together, she will become a supporting role, and she can only listen.

This kind of supporting role is actually very good, because Ye Luo can always see these three women quietly showing their perfection in front of him, competing for beauty.

It's a pleasing thing to watch, and, of course, equally terrifying to contemplate.

Back in the villa area, Song Yan led Qin Shiyue into her big house, Ye Luo didn't follow, but picked up the car from her garage and went to work.

Ye Luo actually had a lot of things to do today. Apart from making record arrangements, he also had to go and see the Medivh Record Company that Wang Nicole was talking about.

The record company suffered serious losses and was already insolvent. Wang Nicole suggested that Ye Luo come over and build a dream overseas company based on this.

The advantages of bringing an existing record company over are obvious. The record distribution qualifications and sales channels can be inherited, so Ye Luo doesn't need to run away.

For Ye Luo now, time is money.

Originally, it was planned to go to see it on the weekend, but Ye Luo contacted him. The boss heard that he was ill, so he postponed it until today.

When they arrived at Erwin Building, Ye Luo went to Universal Overseas to pick up Hu Jianing first.

This so-called investigation was actually mainly to see the recording studio equipment of Medivh Records.

If Ye Luo wanted to rebuild a recording studio, not to mention the period, the starting capital would be at least 600 million US dollars.It is an easy way to buy a ready-made recording studio. Of course, it depends on whether the recording studio is worth the price. In this regard, Hu Jianing is an expert.

Universal Overseas is on the [-]th floor of the Erwin Building, and Medivh Records is on the [-]th floor. It is very convenient to just press the elevator down.

The elevator doors are divided into left and right sides, facing directly to the front desk of Medivh Records. The entire floor here belongs to this record company, and the floor space is much larger than that of Universal Overseas.

However, unlike the vitality on the [-]th floor, this place looks lifeless, the glass doors on both sides are covered with thick dust, and there is no one at the front desk.

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing walked to the front desk, took the old newspapers from the counter, wiped the dust off the chairs, and sat down.

Hu Jianing took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Ye Luo: "What time did you agree?"

Ye Luo usually doesn't smoke much, but it doesn't matter to have one once in a while, so she took it and lit it: "Ten o'clock, there are still 5 minutes."

After the two of them finished smoking a cigarette, the elevator rang and the door opened, and an old white man in his 60s came out. He was well dressed, but his face was a little pale, and he coughed softly as he came out.

Ye Luo quickly stubbed out the cigarette butt, stood up and said, "Mr. Medivh?"

"Oh, it's me." The old man nodded, stretched out his hand to shake Ye Luo, "Mr. Ye, hello. Please come with me, both of you."

Following Medivh into the record company, facing a smell of dust, Medivh coughed even worse.

Seeing the old man coughing so hard that he could hardly stand upright, Ye Luo couldn't bear it, walked to the side and opened the window, and helped the old man to the window: "You should rest for a while."

Medivh forced a smile, took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth, coughed for a while, then recovered, pointed to the other side and said: "That's the recording studio, Mr. Ye, go and have a look first."

As an expert, Ye Luo smiled and gave Hu Jianing a wink.

Hu Jianing nodded and walked towards the recording studio.

Ye Luo was not in a hurry to go, but moved two chairs over, let Medivh sit by the window and chat for a while.

"Mr. Medivh, I think the scale of this record company is not bad." Ye Luo said tentatively.

"Yes." Medivh looked at the surrounding environment and said with a wry smile, "This is my 40 years of hard work.

When I was 25 years old, I used my house as a mortgage, borrowed $[-] from the bank, and set up a humble music studio, step by step to the scale it is today. "

"Oh." Ye Luo nodded and said, "Although I've been here not long ago, I also know that the music market in Los Angeles is very competitive. It's not easy to gain a foothold here."

"Yeah." Medivh said, "It was really difficult at first.

I am very cautious as a record company, and every step has been carefully considered. Although the company has expanded slowly, its foundation is solid.

Until five years ago, Medivh Records was already the largest small-label record company in Los Angeles. It had six independent music producers and more than 30 singers under its umbrella. The records we released dominated the Los Angeles music radio stations all year round. of the top three. "

Speaking of this, Medivh had a look of pride on his face, but soon, he sighed softly again: "In the end, I took a wrong step, and I will never recover from it."

"What's wrong?" Ye Luo asked, "Did you get tricked?"

"No." Medivh shook his head and said, "I can't blame others for this matter, but myself.

After 35 years of prudent management, this record company has reached the pinnacle of the local market in Los Angeles. I think the time is ripe. Medivh Records should rise to a larger market. It is time to become a mid-label record company .

Then I spent a lot of money and borrowed again to expand the market and get into the music market in California. "

"Oh?" Ye Luo's eyes lit up when he heard it, "So, Medivh Records has the right to distribute records in California."

"Yes." Medivh nodded, "But it's useless, it only has the qualification to issue, but there is no market.

Five years ago, we opened up the sales channels of more than 300 record stores in California, and released more than 40 records, some of which were made by ourselves, and the other part was cooperated with small local labels to operate their records .

It turned out to be a complete failure, with huge losses for five consecutive years, because record sales were not good, and those record stores stopped cooperating with us.Now, the company can no longer sustain itself. "

"How come?" Ye Luo asked.

"There are many reasons." Medivh smiled wryly, "The most important point is that our company's music producers are not up to the level of controlling the state-level market.

Of course, this is also mainly my fault. As my boss, I am useless to treat people. "

Speaking of this, Medivh sat on the chair, hunched down, looking as if he was a few years older, and sighed: "I have been cautious all my life, and I only took one wrong step, but there is no chance again, I am already old .”

After hearing about Medivh's experience in running a record company, Ye Luo felt somewhat sympathetic to the old man, but since he came to buy his record company, he could only sympathize.

At this time, Hu Jianing came over from the recording studio and said to Ye Luo in Mandarin, "I made money. This is a good studio with top-notch equipment, even better than Universal's."

"This is a 40-year-old company, how about the service life of the shed?" Ye Luo asked.

"Hehe." Hu Jianing smiled and said, "The newer the recording equipment, the better. In this shed, some old models are out of production now, and you can't buy them even if you want.

The materials and workmanship of this kind of old equipment are far more reliable than the current new ones, and the quality is very good.The service life of the original design was 50 years, but in fact, we may not survive them, and they can be used until we die.

If you want to use new equipment to achieve the recording effect of this old thing, don't even think about it without $1000 million.

If you spend 1000 million on this company, the shed alone is worth it. "

Ye Luo no longer had any doubts, stretched out his hand to Medivh and said, "Mr. Medivh, I want this record company."

There was deep reluctance in Medivh's eyes, he sighed, and held Ye Luo's hand: "Mr. Ye, I heard the song you wrote on the radio, you are a master. Medivh's company will definitely be in your hands Up, replay the light.

So your assistant bid 1000 million US dollars, I agreed, if it is someone else, it will be more than this price. "

"Thank you." After thinking about it, Ye Luo decided to tell the old man the truth, "The company will change its name."

"Then change it." Medivh shook his head with a desolate look on his face, "My era is over."
