.]
The night after the press conference...
The incident began to be widely reported on the Internet and on television.
Although the amount of the acquisition of up to 100 million U.S. dollars is not large, it is a matter in the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry is in the spotlight and naturally attracts the attention of countless people.
What's more, in this acquisition, there is the superstar Taylor Swift in the music industry, the super director Qin Dong in the film industry, Warner Music, the top giant company in the music industry, and CAA, the world's largest agency in the agency industry. With these
An eye-catching target, the timing of this 100 million acquisition naturally attracted overwhelming media coverage.
Just like Qin Dong's previous scandals, sexy news is also an event that ordinary people like to hear. For the sake of newspaper sales and click-through rates on the Internet, these media companies and reporters naturally like to report news that the public likes to see.
...
Hilton Hotel.
In a private room.
"Qin, I hope we can have more exchanges and cooperation in the future. This investment in Big Machine is a very pleasant cooperation..."
Chris Cook, the vice president of Warner Music, held a wine glass and talked happily to Qin Dong.
After the press conference, there will naturally be a celebration party.
"Chris, I also like this cooperation. We will communicate more in the future. By the way, the music industry is not my area of expertise, and Taylor needs to concentrate on writing songs, so the management and development of Big Machine Company in the future will still need
Warner Music, you guys, please take great care..."
Talk about people when you see them, talk about ghosts when you see ghosts.
Qin Dong agreed with a smile, and finally pointed out that he and Taylor did not manage the big machine.
"Don't worry, dear Qin, we at Warner Music are very good at this aspect, not to mention that we have also invested in Big Machine. We just care about the development of Big Machine, and we must develop and strengthen Big Machine..."
When Chris heard this, his smile became even brighter and he quickly assured himself.
Gu Kai
Don't look at it. After Qin Dong gave Taylor 20% of the shares, he only had 31% of the shares in his hands, which was behind Warner Music's 39% of the shares. It was no longer a big machine.
The largest shareholder.
But Chris Cook still dare not underestimate Qin Dong, because Qin Dong’s 31% share, plus Taylor Swift’s 20% share, is still as high as 51%
, belongs to the holding company.
Unless Taylor and Qin Dong fall out one day, Chris, who is in his fifties and sixties, will never do anything stupid that only a child would do.
At this time, he was relieved when he heard that Qin Dong took the initiative to give up the management rights of the company.
There is a saying that an outsider knows an expert. Chris is also afraid that Qin Dong has the title of the world's top director. He is young and energetic and thinks he can do anything. He will interfere in the affairs of big machines. After all, in the music industry, the world's five giants
Warner Music is the professional one.
"Wow, that's good. Leave professional matters to professionals. I feel relieved."
Qin Dong naturally noticed that Chris's expression relaxed, and guessed what he was thinking, but he really didn't care about it. Why bother with all the hard work? As long as he sent a financial officer to the company to ensure that his money would not be lost.
At this time, he praised me twice.
"Baby, from now on, you can be your singer and compose songs with peace of mind. The big machine is managed by a professional company like Warner Music, so it will definitely prosper. I don't want you to be too tired..."
Looking at Taylor who was holding his arm and following him step by step, Qin Dong quickly explained a little more.
Although I have a good relationship with Taylor, as the saying goes, a woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of her heart. This is a Chinese saying, and it does not mean that it is only used to talk about Chinese women. It is the same for women all over the world.
Qin Dong couldn't figure out whether Taylor had the idea of becoming a manager. Regardless of whether he had the idea or not, Qin Dong didn't trust Taylor's ability in this area. After all, this woman started composing songs when she was a teenager. She had never been exposed to these and had no experience with them.
Go to school well, Qin Dong is really worried, and he is afraid that Taylor is too worried, so he must be comforted at this moment.
"Wow, Qin, you are such a considerate and good man. You two, please excuse me..."
Chris Cook, Vice President of Warner Music, saw that this was going to be a spoiler, so he quickly said politely and left.
He is not suitable for the job of light bulbs, not to mention that he is already in his fifties and sixties and his eyesight is still very good, otherwise he would not be able to climb to this position.
"Honey, I don't like to manage those chores, nor am I interested. As you said, leave professional matters to professionals. I very much agree with this..."
Taylor hugged Qin Dong's arm tightly, and after Chris left, he turned to Qin Dong and smiled.
Taylor, who is 180cm tall, put on an evening dress tonight, and naturally had to wear high heels. Compared with Qin Dong, who is 185cm tall, she is still slightly taller, so naturally she doesn't need to raise her head.
"That's good, but honey, remember, the financial staff have to find someone to safely install in the accounting department of the big machine. I have transferred people from China. You also need to find someone. These big companies are all heart
You must be on guard against ruthless guys, otherwise if you make a profit of 100 million a year, they may make a report worth 1 million..."
Qin Dong turned his head and looked around, then leaned close to Taylor, put his mouth close to the woman's ear and whispered gently.
As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.
Qin Dong doesn't believe these guys, not to mention that in the capitalist society, rich people are the father, so he must be more careful.
This kind of thing is the same no matter what industry you are in. When your heart is dark, it is darker than ink.
"Hani, I understand that although I don't intervene in the management of the company, it doesn't mean that I trust these people. I have been around for seven or eight years. I know there are many shady people in the industry, so don't worry."
Chapter completed!
