The legend of rebirth

Chapter 490 Lighthouse Records
This morning, Ye Luo went to choose a new company address. The route design was quite scientific. First go to the farthest Montauk, and come from far to near, so that it will be more convenient when returning.

But Ye Luo was not so scientific when choosing.

Song Yan prepared three alternative record companies for him to buy. It stands to reason that Ye Luo would have to look at them all and make a decision after comprehensive consideration.

As a result, as soon as he and Hujanin arrived in Montauk, they couldn't move.

Moving forward along the direction where Long Island protrudes from the North American continent, taxis run on Route 27. As they get farther and farther away from the most prosperous city in the world, the traffic flow becomes more and more comfortable, and high-rise buildings are gradually left behind. Behind, but in front of the show, is a different kind of scenery.

Entering Montauk, passing a large golf course and a large lake, Route 27 cuts out two forest parks.On the left is Montauk State Park and on the right is Camp Heroes State Park.

The end of Highway 27 is in Montauk State Park, which is already the tip of Long Island. You can see it from a long distance. There is a majestic lighthouse standing by the sea. This lighthouse was built at the end of the eighteenth century. For more than 200 years, it was called the Montauk Lighthouse.

Ye Luo wants to buy this record company, it's called Beacon Records, a small label, right next to the lighthouse in Montauk.

This record company has a long history and was established 30 years ago. It used to do country music and jazz.

Since the beginning of the new century, in the music market in New York, these two kinds of music are not very popular. Beacon Records has been struggling for more than ten years, and finally it has been exhausted and has become insolvent.

Today in New York, USA, after years of development, the record industry has already consolidated and stabilized the market. It is not easy for new record companies to open up the market, so new capital is not very interested in this industry.

Beacon Records had been up for sale for over a year, and no one at the label would take over.

However, there are quite a few jealous people in the land of Beacon Records.

It is so beautiful here, with two lush forest parks behind it, the blue Atlantic Ocean in front of it, and the big lighthouse. There are many tourists who come to visit every year. Just knock down the record company and build a small resort hotel again. Count the money Can count until hand cramps.

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing got out of the taxi, and sent the talkative black buddy away with cash. Instead of going to the record company, they went to the lighthouse first.

Ye Luo climbed to the top of the lighthouse, looked at the surrounding scenery, and listened to the sound of the waves crashing against the reef, his mind suddenly widened.

"That's it." Ye Luo said, "Don't look at the other two."

"That's what I mean too." Hu Jianing nodded, "If the equipment fails, you can change it. No amount of money can buy this scenery."

"Okay, let's go." Ye Luo said, "Let's go meet the boss of Beacon Records."

After getting off the lighthouse, we walked through a forest trail to the Lighthouse Records Company. The area was small, just a row of bungalows. The house was quite old. When I saw it suddenly, I thought it was a wooden house of a forester.

Ye Luo originally wanted to make a phone call first, but found that the door was unlocked, and it opened as soon as it was pushed. As soon as the door was pushed open, the sound of music inside reached Ye Luo's ears.

There was no one to greet at the door, so Ye Luo and Hu Jianing walked inside following the sound of the music.

Passing through the outer room is a corridor, and the sound of music comes from the third room on the left hand side of the corridor.

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing looked at each other, and they recognized that the music was not played by a stereo, but live music without electricity, and someone was playing and singing in it.

Then go and have a look, Ye Luo took two steps forward and pushed open the door.

Inside the room, the layout is similar to a bar stage. There are some wooden tables and chairs under it. There are a dozen or so spectators sitting there, their hair is all white, and they are all old men and old ladies.

The bands and singers who are performing on the stage are also gray-haired and not young.The configuration of the band is a typical country band. The singer is an old white man who is over [-] years old. He plays and sings by himself.

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing were both professionals in the industry, and they knew from the first listen that they were experts on stage, and they were not the same as those bands at nightclubs in Los Angeles, so they simply sat down and listened quietly.

After listening to three songs, the singer seemed tired. He stood up and bowed to the audience. The old audience naturally applauded. Ye Luo and Hu Jianing also applauded.

"The notification of this performance is very hasty. I am very grateful that everyone took time out of their busy schedules to enjoy our band's last performance. Well, my guests have arrived, and the performance is over, thank you."

The audience under the stage stood up, went to the stage one after another, hugged and kissed the singers and musicians, and then reluctantly left.

After the audience left, the musicians also hugged the old singer one after another. Everyone was smiling and saying blessings, but there were tears in their eyes.

After the musicians also left, the old singer walked up to Ye Luo and Hu Jianing and said, "You are Mr. Ye, right? My name is Juan Leonard, and I am the owner of Beacon Records."

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing stood up and shook hands with Juan. Ye Luo smiled and said, "Mr. Leonard, your skills are really superb, I admire you very much."

Juan smiled: "Thank you. Mr. Ye, let me confirm one thing first. After you acquire this record company, will you continue to use this land to make music?"

"Of course." Ye Luo nodded, "I'm here to be a record company."

"That's good." Juan said, "Then I will give you this record company for nothing."

"Ah?" Hu Jianing suspected that he had heard it wrong, but Ye Luo remained calm, quietly waiting for Juan Leonard's next words.

"But this land..." Juan continued, "Now the real estate developers in New York have paid 5000 million US dollars, and I haven't sold it because they don't make music.

Mr. Ye Luo, I have a request. Please keep the name of Beacon Records. The record company will give it to you for free. I only want you $3000 million for this land.

This price is the bottom line in my mind. I don't accept a counter-offer. What do you think? "

"Hey, 3000 million." Hu Jianing said to Ye Luo in Chinese, "This old man really dares to say that Medivh Records, a mid-level label, and top-notch equipment are only 1000 million."

"The nature is different." Ye Luo said, "Medivh Records does not have land property rights, the office is rented, and his land is his own. He said he was selling the record company, but he was actually selling the land.

I just took a look at the outside area. The house plus the yard is more than 500 square meters, and it costs [-] US dollars per square meter. Although the land price in the United States is generally not high, this location is unique. In addition, the company’s equipment is free. Overall, It's okay, not black. "

"Then take it?" Hu Jianing asked.

"I'll go discuss it with Song Yan." Ye Luo smiled apologetically at Juan, then got up and walked into the corridor, and called Song Yan.

"Did you disturb your rest?" Ye Luo asked first after the call was connected.

"No, I'm sorting out real estate information." Song Yan's voice came, "What's wrong?"

"This one in Montauk is not bad. It's right next to the lighthouse. The boss asked for 3000 million yuan, including a [-]-square-meter piece of land property rights. I think it's okay, why don't we just stay here?" Ye Luo asked.

"You are the boss, you can take this idea yourself, ask me why." Song Yan said quietly, "The three choices I gave you are all good, and you can choose any one."

"That's it." Ye Luo nodded.

"In that case, I can choose where to live. It's on Lake Montauk. How about we live on a yacht?" Song Yan said, "You are from Zhoushan, so you should be used to living on a boat, right?"

"Ha, I'm too used to it." Ye Luo smiled, "It's fine."

"A boat can't accommodate so many people, and Lao Hu and Jinxiu probably aren't used to living on a boat. I'll arrange them in an apartment by the lake. Do you think it's okay?" Song Yan asked again.

"You mean, I'm the only one who lives on the same boat as you?" Ye Luo thought it was wrong.

"There is also Mai Ruina." Song Yan said, "I originally wanted to buy three, one for me, you, and Mai Ruina, but yachts are very expensive, more than 500 million US dollars, so I have to save some money as a starting capital. , we only brought in a total of 4000 million US dollars. You buy a record company with 3000 million US dollars, and I can only save a little bit for the place of residence.

When I have a little more time, I'll buy you and Mo'er a new yacht, okay? "

"500 million can buy three very good villas in the United States." Ye Luo didn't say this, thinking that since Mai Ruina is here, nothing will happen, and she lives on a yacht. I haven't tried it before, so I should It was fun, so I agreed.

"Okay then, let's make a decision."

"Okay, let's meet at Montauk Lake at five o'clock in the afternoon." Song Yan's tone was slightly excited, "I'll go buy two cars first."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Luo walked into the room and nodded to Juan Leonard, "Mr. Leonard, we've made a deal."

"That's good." Juan Leonard flashed a somewhat gratified expression on his face, and stretched out his hand to Ye Luo, "I have seen Mr. Ye Luo's poster in Times Square in New York, I heard that you want to After purchasing Beacon Records, I have also listened to your works, and I appreciate your music level. I sincerely hope that Beacon Records can be revived under your management."

Ye Luo shook hands with Juan Leonard, and said with a smile, "I'm new to New York, and I don't have a singer in my hand. I don't know Mr. Leonard, do you have any good recommendations?"

"Oh." Juan said.Leonard nodded, "Yes.

When Beacon Records was at its peak, there were originally more than 30 singers under its banner, but it has gone almost the same in recent years.Now there is still one singer left. It's not that he is not good enough and others look down on him.On the contrary, he is talented and skilled, he sings heartbreaking love songs, he is a very good singer, and he is very loyal to the company, no one else can poach him.

Since Mr. Ye Luo is willing to keep the brand of Beacon Records, this singer will naturally belong to you. I also implore Mr. Ye Luo to treat him kindly. "

"I will." Ye Luo nodded, "Then invite him to meet me tomorrow."

"Uh..." Juan Leonard looked a little embarrassed, "This singer has some personality. I suggest Mr. Ye Luo go there by himself. I can give you his address."
