My father is an entertainment tycoon

Chapter 241 Get rid of the three major records?

In this world, country M is far ahead in the record industry, but online music, Hua country is ahead. Yada Music has been established for more than three years, and its paying users have only exceeded [-] million.

Of course, Anze is very optimistic about his prospects. The record industry has a big limitation. For example, I only like one or two songs, but I have to pay for more songs.

Therefore, sooner or later, online music will become the mainstream of the music market.

Of course, online music is not only profitable from paying users, but also has advertising revenue, which accounts for a large proportion, and distribution, which belongs to the development of musicians.

Bluefire is very advanced and creative in this respect. For example, an independent musician who wants to hold his own small concert can apply for cooperation on Bluefire. Bluefire will check whether you have the possibility of holding a concert. If so, Blue Fire will help you publicize and promote.

The biggest benefit is to help sell tickets and contact the venue. Blue Fire will charge a certain operating fee, but it is definitely lower than the old-fashioned operating cost.

When Anze saw that Yada Music was in the second round of financing, he immediately decided to invest.

Yada Music represents the original version, with the support of the three major record companies behind it, which is very similar to the original Blue Fire.

At the beginning of Blue Fire, it was also supported by Shengshi, Shuren and major entertainment companies, but now it has grown bigger, and it has become more of a client.

Anze believes that with the passage of time, Yada Music has a bright future.

Anze put down the documents in his hand, knocked on the table with his right hand unconsciously, and then said: "Call the executives and start a meeting right away."

The main purpose of the meeting is to select a professional team to go to country M to contact Yada music people. As for whether it can succeed or not, it depends on fate.

On December [-]th, a team of ten or so people took off from Yanjing Airport. Anze led the team. Besides the people from Blue Fire Music, they also brought financial personnel and a team of lawyers. Yang Yiyun also followed.

Jiarui's development is related to music. No matter what the harvest of this trip is, Anze hopes that Yang Yiyun can also grow, so as to better manage Jiarui.

Blue Fire has already contacted Yada Music. Yada welcomed the sudden olive branch from the mysterious country in the east, and hoped that the two parties could meet soon.

At the same time, in the Manhattan district of New York, country M, in a commercial building.

The two founders of Yada Music are discussing this matter.

"Daniel, this is good news for us. Judging from the information sent by Blue Fire Music, it is better than TX Music. If we really want to cooperate, I am more inclined to Blue Fire Music."

The speaker is Martin Lorenson, one of the founders of Yada Music.

"Of course, I went to check this blue fire music company yesterday. Huaguo is the number one online music company. It is better than us in the development of online music. Maybe it can be used as a reference."

The person who talked to Martin Lorenson was called Daniel Aike. Although the two were co-creators, Daniel was the one who initiated it first. Martin was a bit of a sponsor.

In fact, people from TX have already contacted them and met, but now they go to contact people from the three major records.

The two sides chatted fairly happily, but they have not yet reached an agreement.

"I'm really looking forward to meeting Ann. Did you know that Blue Fire's boss, Ann, is a 26-year-old young man. I specifically checked this person. According to Hua Guo's media reports, Ann's worth is close to tens of billions of dollars. It's crazy. ?”

"Ten billion? Daniel, are you sure you're not joking?"

"Of course, you have contacted Liu from TX, the richest man in Huaguo, but An made his fortune in the competition with him. From online music to social networking, An has shown a very keen sense of smell. Some media commented that he is a A wolf merchant."

"If you say that, I'm really looking forward to meeting Ann."

After several turnarounds, Anze and his group landed at Manhattan Airport, and Yada arranged for people to pick them up.

At this time, the time in country M is in the afternoon, the sun is still very bright, and there are no clouds in the sky.

Anze was a little dazed. Strictly speaking, it was the first time he went abroad. Manhattan Airport was a small airport with little passenger traffic.

He took the commercial vehicle sent by Yada and was taken to a hotel.

The real meeting is on the second day.

Yada Music is located in an old-fashioned European-style building with low floors, so it can be seen that it is still under development.

The two sides shook hands. Daniel was a middle-aged man who looked slightly stronger, a bit like Jason Statham in his previous life, but fatter.

Martin is a typical image of country M elites, with dashing long hair.

When Anze looked at the two of them, they were also looking at him, with surprise in their eyes, they were too young.

"Welcome friends from afar!"

Both parties shake hands and then go upstairs.

It was the first time Anze saw the working environment of people from country M, which was not much different from that in China. After walking around, he entered the meeting room.

What are Yada's requirements?In this round of financing, they hope to raise 20 million US dollars and sell [-]% of the shares, which is a valuation of [-] billion US dollars.

This price is very high. When he came, Anze also learned that many people have realized the future of online music. This round of Yada Music's financing has many big names participating.

Such as internationally renowned funds and Coca-Cola.

For Daniel and Martin, it is a happy spring, which means that the spring of the company is coming.

"As far as I know, Yada has not yet made a profit, and most of the income has been taken away by the three major record companies. It is still in the stage of burning money. Is the valuation of 20 billion US dollars too high?" An Ze said, It was translated immediately.

Martin explained: "The valuation of 20 billion US dollars is definitely not high. In fact, you may not know that we got Sean Parker's investment in the A round. Sean Parker is also a shareholder of Facebook. He and Zha Zarberke has a very good relationship, we have a cooperation agreement, and when Yada’s users reach a certain level, he will introduce us to cooperate with Zarberke.”

After Martin finished speaking, he handed over a document, which was the agreement he was talking about.

Anze looked at the agreement, and his head was running fast. Now he doesn't dare to spend too much money. Douyin needs funds. If he talks about cooperation with the three major records, he may also need funds.

Thinking of the three major records, Anze had a flash of inspiration and asked, "I would like to ask you two, what will the final form of Yada's music be?"

Daniel frowned and said, "I think Yada is a revolution to the music industry. In fact, digital music appeared in country M before, but it was eventually surrounded by the traditional music industry and died out. But digital music is a trend. In other words, traditional music On the one hand, there is a surplus of music, and on the other hand, the experience is limited. The entire music industry needs the emergence of Yada Music. In the past two years, Yada Music has developed rapidly. Many people have seen the possibility, and there are also competitors, such as Apple Music, That's enough to prove us right."

"If you want to say what it will eventually evolve into, my answer is the world's largest online music platform, giving users the most convenient experience and enjoyment."

Anze shook his head and asked back, "Have you thought about getting rid of the three major record companies?"
