From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 136 Acquisition
Sitting quietly in the chair, Jiang Yao listened to Wang Tengfei finish his words.

I have to say, what he said makes a lot of sense.

The reason why Jiang Yao did not register a record company himself but chose to acquire an existing one, wasn't it because he didn't want to waste time starting from scratch?

But when doing business, there is no such thing as bargaining. He looked directly at Wang Tengfei and said with a smile, "According to what Mr. Wang said, I got a great bargain by purchasing Feixing Records for 2.5 million."

"But I am a little confused. The company has such strong distribution capabilities, and you have all the best people under you. How could Feixing Records have such difficulties and fall to this point?"

……

After a few words, the conversation for the day could no longer continue.

Wang Tengfei, who was full of confidence just now, suddenly wilted.

He leaned his head against the back of the chair and sighed helplessly. After a while, he spoke again: "Mr. Jiang, if you want to buy our Feixing Records, 2.5 million is already the lowest price."

"If you are willing to accept this price, then everything will be fine."

"If you are still the same as before and are only willing to pay two million, then I would rather Feixing Records go bankrupt."

After saying these words, Wang Tengfei, leaning back in his chair, seemed to be dozing off, and even his eyes began to slowly close.

Judging from his attitude, he didn't want to continue the conversation because Jiang Yao's offer was far below his bottom line.

Seeing Wang Tengfei like this, Jiang Yao frowned slightly. He thought for a while and spoke again: "Mr. Wang, I can take out 2.5 million."

"Two million of it will be used as the acquisition fee for Feixing Records. However, I only need 90% of the shares, not 100% control."

"The other 10% of the shares will still belong to you, Mr. Wang. Of course, you need to stay in the company and continue to manage the entire company."

"The remaining 500,000 will be kept in the company's account for daily operations."

"What do you think of my suggestion, Mr. Wang?"

As he spoke, he picked up his backpack, opened it, took out stacks of banknotes, and placed them directly on the table between him and Wang Tengfei.

Two and a half million is just a number in the account.

But now, a stack of one hundred thousand banknotes, a total of twenty-five stacks, were placed in front of Wang Tengfei. The shock it brought was definitely much more shocking than the simple numbers on the account.

Feixing Records was once quite glorious, and Wang Tengfei, one of the founders, was definitely not someone who had never seen money.

It’s a pity that since the decline of Feixing Records, most of his original savings have been spent on this company.

After all, after Song Shizhong and Fang Xinghai separated and left, the entire Feixing Records was solely owned by Wang Tengfei. He regarded this company as his lifelong career and always wanted to restore Feixing Records to its glory.

It’s a pity that ideals are full and reality is skinny.

Keeping Feixing Records going until now is the limit of what he can do. By selling this company, he can more or less get back some of his investment, which is better than getting nothing after bankruptcy.

Jiang Yao's suggestion made Wang Tengfei, who was dozing off, open his eyes, but the brightness only lasted for a moment before his eyes dimmed again.

Full of helplessness, he shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Jiang, thank you very much for thinking highly of me."

“Flying Star Records failed under my leadership. If I have the chance, I would naturally like to lead this company to rise again.”

"But even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without good songwriters and producers, high-quality records cannot be produced. If I continue to sit in this position, I can do nothing but watch this company disappear into the dust of history."

"The better songwriters and producers in Hong Kong generally have a good relationship with Song Shizhong and Fang Xinghai."

"And the conflict between me and them can't be eased at all. Perhaps, without my Feixing Records, development will be smoother."

……

Jiang Yao had no idea what the reason was for the conflict between Wang Tengfei and his two other partners, who were also founders of Feixing Records.

Since it concerns other people's privacy, he has no interest in prying into it.

Full of confidence, he smiled at Wang Tengfei and promised, "Leave the lyrics and music to me."

"Your responsibilities are mainly in distribution. Once the company's new records are released, if they can be easily purchased on the market, it will be enough to prove your ability."

"If the record is not recognized, the songs in it are not widely sung and they are not popular, then that is my problem."

"If you find my suggestion acceptable, I can notify Lawyer Cheng to come over now and ask her to draft a contract for you and me to sign. What do you think?"

There was always a faint smile on his face. Although Jiang Yao could not even recognize the entire musical notation, he had the memories of his past life. He never thought that he was inferior to others in writing lyrics and composing music.

There is no way, life with cheats is just so confident.

Wang Tengfei on the opposite side had a look of surprise on his face. He stared at Jiang Yao, looking him up and down for a long time.

Although Feixing Records has not been developing smoothly in recent years and has been in a state of decline, its boss Wang Tengfei is certainly no stranger to the Hong Kong songwriting community.

If he remembered correctly, there was no one named Jiang Yaozu in the Hong Kong music circle.

He couldn't figure out where the confidence of the young man in front of him came from, but he looked at Jiang Yao carefully for a long time and didn't see any sign of joking from him.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and finally nodded: "Mr. Jiang, since you said so, I accept your suggestion."

He has always regarded Feixing Records as his lifelong career, and he doesn't want to sell the company unless he really can't hold on.

Wang Tengfei actually had some gambling intention when he agreed to Jiang Yao's proposal.

But even so, after he finished speaking, he still felt relieved.

After all, if the bet is won, Feixing Records will be able to rise again, and he will still be in charge of the company, and he will also be able to hold his head high.

If he lost the bet, he would have already made two million. He only owned 10% of the shares, so even if the company went bankrupt, he would not suffer much loss.

After thinking clearly about the pros and cons, Wang Tengfei would naturally feel much more relaxed.

"Put the money away for now. Two million is yours, and the other five hundred thousand will be deposited into the company account."

"I'm not used to taking back the money I've already taken out."

"No one dares to go back on their promises to me, and no one dares to deny their debts after receiving my money. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

After calling Cheng Feier, Jiang Yao pointed to the pile of money on the table in front of him, looked at Wang Tengfei, and said with a smile. When he said this, he still had a faint smile on his face, and there was no threat in his words.

But just these few simple words made Wang Tengfei shiver involuntarily.

"This Mr. Jiang is so fierce. Could he be the prince of some big society?" In an instant, this thought suddenly arose in Wang Tengfei's mind.

In the early years, major Hong Kong social groups invaded the entertainment industry on a large scale, and the entertainment industry at that time was full of chaos.

When a company with a triad background wants to invite a star to film a movie, they often send a bullet directly to the person. If they are more ruthless, they may even kidnap the person.

Although record companies are different from film companies, they are still part of the entertainment industry after all and are certainly influenced by this aspect.

"Could it be that Mr. Jiang is also planning to send bullets to force those songwriters to write lyrics and compose music for our Feixing Records?" Thinking a little more deeply, Wang Tengfei felt a little scared, but also a little hopeful at the same time, and his whole heart felt extremely conflicted.

Half an hour later, Cheng Feier rushed to Feixing Records.

Jiang Yao only had a vague understanding of the various procedures for company acquisitions, but with Cheng Feier, a professional lawyer, here, he saved a lot of effort.

Many times, after listening to the demands of himself and Wang Tengfei, and Cheng Feier customized the various terms of the document, Jiang Yao only needed to sign his name in a flamboyant manner.

When all the procedures were completed, 90% of Feixing Records' shares were successfully transferred to the offshore companies registered by Jiang Yao two or three days later.

During this period, Jiang Yao took some time out of his busy schedule to visit the Sunshine Psychological Counseling Center, which is also located in Tsim Sha Tsui.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The psychologist Guan Jiahui introduced to him by Fang Jieting is also a pretty beauty.

With Jiang Yao's psychological quality, it would be no problem if it was just a psychological assessment.

Jiang Yao only stayed with Dr. Guan Jiahui at the Sunshine Psychological Counseling Center for more than half an hour. From the beginning to the end of the evaluation, the female doctor was constantly amused by him.

Feixing Records, company headquarters.

"Everyone, I believe you have heard about the company being acquired."

"I can tell you for sure that this is indeed true. Just now, all the acquisition matters have been completed."

"The person next to me is the new boss of the company, Mr. Jiang Yaozu. Please applaud and welcome him."

Walking into the large office outside, Wang Tengfei clapped his hands and called all employees over.

After everyone gathered, he pointed at Jiang Yaozu next to him and introduced him to everyone.

Although he spoke passionately, everyone present just looked at each other, and most people's faces showed loss and confusion about the future.

The applause for welcoming the new boss Jiang Yao was even more sparse, with no enthusiasm at all, and many people were just pretending to be there.

"Everyone, it's true that I'm the new boss of the company, but the company's daily affairs are still managed by President Wang Tengfei. I won't interfere too much."

"Some time ago, the company's business conditions were not very good, resulting in everyone not receiving last month's salary."

"Wait a minute, everyone, go to the finance office and settle all the overdue wages first."

"If you don't want to work anymore and want to leave, I won't stop you. If you want to stay at Feixing Records, your salary will increase by 10% from the previous standard."

……

When Jiang Yao first stepped into the Feixing Records headquarters, he felt that the employees there were full of decadence and seemed to have lost their fighting spirit long ago.

As the new boss, he naturally needs to bring new energy.

Directly increasing the salaries of your employees may seem superficial, but it is the simplest and most direct way to boost morale.

After Jiang Yao finished speaking, the employees below became noticeably more enthusiastic, and even the applause became much louder.

After encouraging everyone again, he did not continue with his long speech, but went straight back to the office where Wang Tengfei had been before.

Although he took out 500,000 yuan and deposited it in the Feixing Records' company account, this amount of money was nothing for a company.

Although the entire Feixing Records has less than 20 employees, based on the salary standards here, once the salaries are paid, there will be little left of the 500,000 yuan.

The company's headquarters here is rented, and the recording studio is also rented. Just the rental fees for these two items...

A few days ago, Jiang Yao, who had just got the three million, felt that he had made a fortune.

But now, having just taken over Feixing Records, he felt that he was beginning to be seriously short of money.

"Old Wang, don't the company have two contracted singers? Why can't I see them inside the company?" Rubbing his head and looking at Wang Tengfei who had just walked into the office, he frowned and asked.

"Mr. Jiang, the two singers signed to the company don't get any salary except for a small signing fee at the beginning."

"On weekdays, they are usually not in the company. They will only be notified to come over when recording new songs."

"If you want to see them, I'll call them now!"

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Tengfei quickly explained.

While speaking, he took out the contracts of the two singers from the file rack next to him and placed them on the table in front of Jiang Yao.

"Well, okay, please notify them to come over, thank you for the trouble!" Jiang Yao nodded and responded with a smile.

It is true that he remembers a lot of classic songs in his mind, but if he wants to turn these golden songs into money, he must find the right people to sing them.

In his memory of his previous life, he didn't know since when it started that a singer who couldn't write lyrics or compose music by himself seemed to be unworthy of being a singer.

However, in Jiang Yao's opinion, professional matters can only be done better if they are left to professionals.

Some people write lyrics and compose music very well, but the sound quality is not good and their singing level is also very average.

Although some people cannot compose their own songs, when a song falls into their hands, it can touch people's hearts and truly sing into other people's hearts.

A singer is a singer. It's enough if he sings well. As for writing lyrics and composing music, it can help him get extra points, but it is not a necessity.

What are the voices of the two singers from Feixing Records like? What kind of songs are they suitable for? Jiang Yao needs to meet them to get a general understanding.

Wang Tengfei went outside the office to make a phone call, and he picked up the contracts signed by the two singers with Feixing Records and began to look through them.
