Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant 104 Dealings

Undoubtedly, Ling Ming broke the precedent and successfully held a concert at a stadium, greatly promoting the modern music culture and bringing back attention onto Huaxia entertainment market.

Meanwhile, in HuaXiang Records, Zhou Yi led the technical department and the post-production team to actively burn CD's of the concert, the output was two million copies. Zhang Xiaohua had made only one request of them, which was to release the records into the market as soon as possible.

Emma led the advertising department to monitor the internet. As long as someone uploaded a live video of Ling Ming's concert online, Emma would negotiate with the video website and get it deleted to ensure the concert recordings would have a good volume of sales.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, representatives of a number of companies and advertisers flocked to HuaXiang Entertainment. At present, the guest room was full of people, all of which were looking for Zhang Xiaohua to negotiate advertising deals with Ling Ming.

Ling Ming had just finished the concert, and she had been busy rehearsing for the energy drink endorsement. Since she had exhausted herself recently, Zhang Xiaohua hadn't arranged anything else for her and had instead allowed Ling Ming to take a break and relax.

In his office, Zhang Xiaohua was looking through the information on those companies, he screened out more than 20 of them. There were many small companies with no credit to their names and little potential to make money, so it was a waste of time to negotiate with them.

"QuoDou.com!" Zhang Xiaohua was immediately attracted.

Now, in this internet age, QuoDou had established itself as a network giant. As the most powerful and large-scale video website, it had more than enough power to cooperate with HuaXiang Entertainment.

"Today I'll only talk with representatives of QuoDou.com. As for the other companies, delay our meetings to later." Zhang Xiaohua said to Xu Fengnian.

"Okay, I'll lead them out."

After that, Xu Fengnian was about to leave, but he heard Zhang Xiaohua say: "No, let them wait outside."

Xu Fengnian didn't understand, since he didn't intend to cooperate with those companies, why make them wait?

Not waiting for Xu Fengnian to ask, Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Although we don't want to cooperate with them, we need them to show QuoDou that they have competition."

Although most of the people outside were representatives of small companies, as long as they were here, they would form the illusion of a fierce competition. As a result, QuoDou would offer better conditions to 'compete' against everyone.

Xu Fengnian smiled: "Understood, I'll call up the representative from QuoDuo."

"Actually, call up the other companies. I'll discuss terms with them first, leave QuoDuo for last, let him sweat a bit." Zhang Xiaohua smirked. He had been watching a lot of commercial war films, and finally realized a truth. Instead of wasting his saliva, it was better to use the existing conditions to attack the other party's psychology. The best time to talk business was when the other party was anxious, you would get twice the result with half the effort.

In the next two hours, Zhang Xiaohua met with representatives of five companies. The more time passed, the more anxious the representative of QuoDuo became. He was fearful of one of his peers taking the lead and finalizing a deal with HuaXiang Entertainment.

It wasn't until 11:30 am that Xu Fengnian slowly came into the reception room, and called for the QuoDuo representative: "Are you the editor-in-chief of QuoDuo?"

Zhu Xiangyang nodded quickly.

"Follow me, the boss is ready to meet you, please come with me."

As the editor-in-chief of the largest video website in Huaxia, Zhu Xiangyang had some status in the industry. The bosses of other companies usually received and treated him like a VIP. When had he ever been ignored?

He never imagined that today he would be ignored by this emerging entertainment company. It was impossible to say that Zhu Xiangyang wasn't fustrated but he knew the importance of this deal to the company, there were millions to be potentially earned. No one in this world would be willing to pass on this much money.

When he entered Zhang Xiaohua's office, Zhu Xiangyang couldn't help but glimpse around the room.

He knew that the boss of HuaXiang Entertainment was a young man, but he did not expect that he was actually this young. However, his attitude seemed even more arrogant than all the bosses he had met. He didn't even stand up to greet him, deeply hurting Zhu Xiangyang's self-respect.

"Mr Zhu, sorry for the delay. We had so many companies coming to talk about cooperation today. So I have been busy all day, making Mr Zhu wait for so long. Take a seat, please."

After Zhu Xiangyang sat down, Zhang Xiaohua continued to immerse himself in the cooperation letter submitted by the other companies, he was reading a letter from a video website, called Vimeo Net, which was a video site second only to QuoDuo. The conditions seemed to satisfy Zhang Xiaohua. Of course, Zhang Xiaohua was nothing more than deliberately pretending for Zhu Xiangyang.

Originally, Zhu Xiangyang planned to wait for him to finish. But when he saw Zhang Xiaohua's letter from Vimeo Net, Zhu Xiangyang couldn't wait any longer, and quickly took out a letter of intent from his briefcase.

"Since Boss Zhang is so busy, I will make this short. This time, I came to buy the exclusive broadcast rights to Miss Ling's concert. In addition, we have a music zone on our website, so we also want to buy Miss Ling's online copyrights. We plan to put the songs and the music videos in the music zone for netizens to download and listen to. This is the letter of intent, please take a look."

Hearing his words, Zhang Xiaohua reluctantly removed his gaze from the current letter of intent, and then took the letter of intent from Zhu Xiangyang's hand. The result was that he looked at him and shook his head.

Although QuoDuo's price was good, Zhang Xiaohua wasn't looking for a one time buy out of the copyrights. What he wanted was a long-term cooperation with QuoDuo. Only in this way, HuaXiang Entertainment could take the opportunity to fully enter the Internet market in the future.

Zhang Xiaohua knew better than anyone else that selling the record alone wasn't a long-term solution. After all, producing records required a lot of manpower, material resources and production was limited.

But the Internet was different. Just putting up a music video or song on the Internet would allow fans to download the music unlimitedly.

Zhang Xiaohua remembered that at the beginning of "Can I Hold You?" QuoDuo placed a 2 minute add in the video, showing how much profits there was to be made. Zhang Xiaohua wanted a piece of the action.

Zhang Xiaohua threw the letter of intent provided by Zhu Xiangyang on the desk and regarded it as useless. He immediately locked his eyes on the letter of intent of Vimeo Net, and called Xu Fengnian in: "Manager Xu, first ask the representatives of Vimeo Net to wait a moment and remember to help me entertain them. When I make time, we can negotiate terms with them."

"The representative Vimeo Net already said that they will wait for you to make a decision. As far as I can see, the conditions given by Vimeo Net are decent and they seem very sincere. I have been doing business for so many years and they seem very promising, you should make a decision as soon as possible."

"I do feel pretty good about the deal. I believe that if we can cooperate with the Vimeo Net, both sides will definitely get a lot of benefits. They provide the platform, we provide goods." Zhang Xiaohua said in a cooperative manner, his face was full of excitement, and he seemed to be eager to cooperate with the Vimeo Net.

The biggest benefit for the video websites was the advertisers, but the premise was that the website received a certain amount of traffic. Zhang Xiaohua was confident that with the popularity of Ling Ming, she could attract countless views and traffic in an instant, attracting a large number of advertisers.

In other words, if Zhang Xiaohua cooperated with Vimeo Net, it would pose a threat to QuoDuo. Even if it was impossible for them grab all the customers from QuoDuo, it would certainly take a hit.

However, that was a last ditch resort, Zhang Xiaohua still hoped to cooperate with QuoDuo, because according to the survey, 70% of the netizens used to QuoDuo to watch video and download music.
