Chapter 321 320. Wang Qian’s terrifying asset potential! He is the guiding light of the pop music market! (Subscribe)

Miyuki Nakamori sat on the sofa, put down the phone, continued to hold the computer, and watched the video of Wang Qian's lecture at Curtis College on the computer page!

She has watched this video many times.

But now she is still watching!

Every time she watched it, she felt that she gained something and her understanding of music seemed to become deeper.

Some of the doubts she had in the past when creating music can now be easily resolved.

Wang Qian's voice and face seemed to have a kind of magic that allowed her to understand more deeply and easily.

Miyuki Nakamori had gradually clearer ideas about her subsequent performances, and she couldn't wait to get into the recording studio to realize some of her ideas, but she suppressed them for the time being, waiting to accumulate more inspiration and then burst out all at once, and the effect would be better.

Next to her, Qianyu Zhenzhu was listening to Wang Qian's music and asked softly, "Miyuki, who called? From China?"

Qianyu Mao heard Nakamori Miyuki talking about Wang Qian and Qian Qian's listening platform, so she guessed that it was from China and asked out of curiosity.

Miyuki Nakamori nodded: "Yes, it was a Chinese music download platform called Tengfei that wanted to buy the copyright of my songs and bring them to China for download, but I refused."

Qianyu Zhenzhu suddenly understood: "Because you want to have your music on the same platform as Wang Qianjun's?"

Miyuki Nakamori said softly, "If you can choose, why not?"

Qianyu Zhenzhu looked at Nakamori Miyuki carefully and asked softly, "Miyuki, did you know that Wang Qianjun has a girlfriend and they are in love?"

Miyuki Nakamori was confused. She paused the video and looked at Maou Chiba: "So what?"

Chiba Mao looked at Nakamori Miyuki seriously and said, "Then you know that there will be no result if you like him?"

Miyuki Nakamori smiled and asked, "Why does liking someone have to have a result?"

Qianyu Zhenzhu insisted, "If there is no result, what's the point of liking someone?"

Nakamori Miyuki blinked her eyes, looked at Chiba Mao, and insisted on her own idea: "Liking someone is meaningful in itself. If there is a person who appears in front of you and he completely satisfies all your fantasies of beauty, how can you not like him? Even if there is no result, but being able to like such a person is meaningful enough."

These words made Qianyu Zhenzhu silent.

She knew that Miyuki Nakamori was telling the truth.

Now there is indeed a person who appears in front of her who can satisfy all her fantasies of beauty.

However, she is different from Miyuki Nakamori.

Miyuki Nakamori can live without the result, and is satisfied with unrequited love.

Qianyu Zhenzhu said, "Don't do this. She wants a result, even if it's just once. She must have a result!" The two fell silent.

Then Miyuki Nakamori broke the silence and whispered, "Maju, liking him makes me happy, and that's enough. It's wonderful to have the opportunity to perform on stage together and let him hear my music. Now I just want to write everything about me into the music and let him and everyone else hear it."

Qianyu Zhenzhu nodded: "Then I wish you the best. However, Wang Qianjun's Qianqian Jingting platform has more potential in China than Tengfei. The data is very terrifying. Wang Qianjun's most downloaded song has exceeded 100 million in less than half a year."

Miyuki Nakamori: "If he invites me, I will accept!"

Qian Yu Zhenzhu: "What about my songs? I can also give him the works I performed on our island country's Voice."

Miyuki Nakamori: "Then talk to him."

Qianyu Zhenzhu thought about it and said, "Well, it's okay."

…

Sophie was getting ready for bed. She was lying on the bed in her pajamas, wearing headphones, and listening to the pipa piece "Ten Flying Daggers" played by Wang Qian.

This thrilling classical pipa music with a strong and pure Chinese style made her feel very excited and novel, and her mind was full of Wang Qian's shadow!

Looking at the half-empty hotel bed, Sophie hoped that it could be filled by Wang Qian! Buzz! The phone vibrated.

Sophie picked up the phone excitedly, imagining that it was Wang Qian calling, but it turned out to be an unfamiliar number from China...

From China, strange number?

Sophie was stunned for a moment, and did not directly reject the unfamiliar number as usual. When she saw that it was Hua Xia calling, she answered the call curiously.

A voice came from the phone immediately: "Hello Sophie, I'm Jiang Rong from the Huaxia Tengfei Music Platform. I want to talk to you about cooperation, is that okay?"

Sophie frowned and said in a slightly cold voice: "I don't know about you. I need to rest."

Jiang Rong quickly said, "Wait a minute, Miss Sophie, we want to buy the copyright of the song you sang in the Voice International Competition at a high price and bring it to us in China to operate. It will definitely greatly increase your popularity in China and also contribute a considerable amount of income to you."

"We can give you 10 million US dollars for the copyright buyout, and give you 80% of the download revenue..."

This price is the highest price Tengfei can offer now, which is almost the treatment of domestic superstars. The platform makes almost no profit and works completely for the singers!

However, Sophie was not interested in this and wanted to hang up the phone directly, but it was impolite, so she said softly: "Sorry, I don't want to talk about this now!"

Suddenly, Sophie remembered that the company Wang Qian founded seemed to be a music platform, so she asked curiously, "Are you Wang Qian's company?"

Jiang Rong was silent for a second before she said, "No, Miss Sophie, Professor Wang Qian's platform is called Qianqian Jingting, but it has only been established for half a year and is not very mature yet. Our Tengfei platform is the largest music download platform in China. We have hundreds of millions of users and are definitely your best choice..."

Sophie interrupted Jiang Rong directly: "I know. But, it only took him half a year to catch up with you, didn't it?"

Jiang Rong on the other end of the phone was silent for another two seconds, and then said with a slightly bitter voice: "Yes... But we will give you a better price and promotion resources. Our parent company is one of the largest Internet giants in China. We..."

Jiang Rong was about to continue introducing Tengfei's advantages.

Sophie immediately said: "Sorry, I just want to cooperate with Wang Qian, goodbye."

After saying that, Sophie didn't want to talk any more with Jiang Rong and hung up the phone.

Then, she excitedly picked up her phone and found Wang Qian's name.

Finally, I have a legitimate reason to contact Wang Qian.

Sophie's hand holding the phone trembled with excitement. She looked at the name on the phone, thought for a while, and then took a deep breath to calm herself down. She had already thought about how to talk to Wang Qian, what tone and speed to use, and which words to say, and she quickly went over them in her mind.

Then he clicked and dialed! Buzz! The sound on the phone made Sophie very nervous.

It rang for a few seconds and then the call was connected.

Wang Qian's gentle voice came from the phone: "Sophie, haven't you rested yet?"

Sophie's mind went blank for a moment, and then she quickly said in the expected voice, "Not yet, I have something to talk to you about."

Wang Qian smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Sophie held the phone tightly and pouted slightly aggrievedly. She had given him her most precious thing, so why was she so worried, as if she owed him something? A tear dripped down Sophie's cheek, and she said in a sobbing voice, "Can I meet you and talk?"

Wang Qian was also lying on the bed at the moment, and Qin Xuerong had just laid down beside him and was not asleep yet. He gently replied to Sophie, "I'm afraid not. We are going to bed. If we need to talk in person, how about we meet and talk tomorrow?"

Sophie pouted, imagining the scene of Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong together. She controlled her emotions and recovered her tone: "Let me tell you directly. I just received a call from Huaxia. She said she was from a music platform and wanted to cooperate with me to purchase the download rights of my music in Huaxia."

Wang Qian raised his eyebrows. He wanted to call Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori just now, but seeing that it was getting late and they were very tired, he did not disturb them and planned to talk about it tomorrow.

I didn’t expect that people from Tengfei would show up at this time?

Wang Qian asked curiously: "Tengfei Platform? What price did they offer?"

Sophie: "I wasn't paying attention because I said no. I don't want to work with them, I want to work with you."

Wang Qian smiled, hearing the coquettish tone in Sophie's voice, as well as the expectation of praise, and said, "Of course we can cooperate. I am planning to talk to you about this tomorrow. Then tell me what conditions Tengfei has offered, and I will give you the same conditions. I can't let you suffer a loss."

Sophie: "I don't care about that. Can I talk to you alone about this tomorrow? I think for such an important business cooperation, I need to find a coffee shop and sit down with you to have a good chat in person."

Sophie's tone was full of anticipation, and she was already imagining the scene of meeting Wang Qian in her mind.

Wang Qian felt a little helpless.

He knew that a girl who had never experienced love would be the most difficult to deal with once she was provoked.

My heart is full of you, I just want to meet you, want to talk to you about life and ideals...

If Wang Qian was single and wanted to find someone to spend his life with, he would definitely be very willing to accept such a pure relationship.

but……

He already has someone like him.

However, he couldn't bear to hurt someone who only wanted you and was with you! Most importantly, he wasn't the kind of person who would turn hostile once he put on his clothes.

In his previous life, Wang Qian had been in the entertainment industry for many years. Although he was an old scumbag, he had a very good reputation in the industry. As long as he got the other party's efforts, he would definitely get something in return. There were even two newcomers who entered the industry through his bed and later became big names, and they occasionally maintained a friendly relationship. All other people in the industry who had in-depth contact with him also got more or less opportunities, so many newcomers rushed towards him.

Therefore, Wang Qian has a very strong sense of responsibility. He must admit and take responsibility for what he has done.

So! Wang Qian said softly: "If I have time tomorrow, I will talk to you about cooperation."

Sophie: “Then it’s settled.”

Wang Qian: “Sure!”

Sophie: “You are so nice!”

Wang Qian smiled: "Good night."

Sophie: "Good night!"

Put down the phone.

Wang Qian shook his head and said to Qin Xuerong, who was chatting with her sister Qin Xuehong on the phone, "Tengfei has contacted Sophie in China. Maybe Tengfei has contacted all the contestants of The Voice of China. However, Sophie rejected Tengfei and said she wanted to cooperate with my Qianqian Jingting. I will go to discuss the details of the cooperation with her tomorrow."

Qin Xuerong glanced at Wang Qian, then put down his phone, ended the chat with his sister, and came over to hug Wang Qian: "Then you can talk to Miyuki Nakamori and Elizabeth about cooperation tomorrow."

Wang Qian nodded seriously: "That's what I think. I think it's not difficult to deal with them! After dealing with them first, it will be easier to talk to the other contestants. Except for Adam, Jonathan, and Ah San's contestant, who are somewhat hostile to me, the others should be easy to deal with. It's nothing more than offering a high price."

Now Qianqian Jingting is rich, and Wang Qian is not afraid of competing with Tengfei as long as he can solve the problem with money.

However, it is almost impossible to deal with hostile opponents like Adam and Jonathan, as well as players like Asan who always likes to go against China, with money.

Qin Xuerong smiled and said, "Our company has surpassed Tengfei now. I got the news that many veteran singers in China want to terminate their cooperation with Tengfei and start to consider releasing songs on Qianqian Jingting. Then it won't be long before Qianqian Jingting will become the well-deserved No. 1 music download platform in China! When that time comes, should we prepare for listing?"

Go public?

Wang Qian thought for a moment and said, "We will definitely go public, but there is no rush for financing. We are not short of money. Before going public, we will only raise funds once, attract some capital, and then go public directly."

If he were to do business, Wang Qian would definitely learn from Huawei, not go public, and not accept the influence of capital!

However, if a music platform is limited to the domestic market, it will not have much strategic significance and will not be able to create anything for the country or the people! Therefore, it will eventually have to go public. Going public can expand the influence of Qianqian Jingting and perhaps develop into an international music download platform. By then, it may have some strategic significance at the national level.

After all, music is also a form of cultural art and can be considered China’s cultural output!

If we can create an international platform to export Chinese music culture to the world, it will be considered as doing something for the country and the people.

Now, working with contestants of The Voice International Competition is also an opportunity to expand internationally.

Moreover, even if he accepts financing and goes public, Wang Qian will never give up too much equity. He will definitely hold a controlling stake himself. Only in this way can he lead the development of Qianqian Jingting and not let capital seize power.

Qin Xuerong became excited instantly when he heard Wang Qian's listing plan.

Capital operation is still what she is best at.

She immediately thought about it and said, "Then we can try to let Lao Xu spread the word in the capital circle that we will definitely accept financing and will not play alone. That way, those big companies in the entertainment industry will not have so many voices against us. They will definitely want to spend money to recruit us, or join the game together."

"However, we will not have any specific contact with them, nor will we give them a specific timetable for financing. This way, we can keep them hanging and ask them to keep raising our valuation. I believe that under your leadership, Qianqian Jingting will definitely develop better and better, and the valuation will definitely get higher and higher."

The tone changed.

Qin Xuerong thought of another high-quality asset under Wang Qian, Haidilao, and asked, "So, what about Haidilao? Do you plan to list Haidilao?"

Wang Qian frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head firmly and said, "No! Haidilao will never go public. We will only do physical catering. The two new stores in Shanghai will open in the next two days. We will first occupy the first-tier cities, with at least ten stores in each first-tier city. After completing this task, we will start to attack the second-tier cities, with at least five stores in each second-tier city!"

"We plan to complete the development tasks in first- and second-tier cities within three years, and then open stores in third-tier cities, with at least two stores in each third-tier city. That will be enough..."

"After you go back, you should discuss with the current store managers and quickly start the Haidilao catering company. You can take out a loan to buy a storefront, but you will never accept financing! You must adhere to the traditions that we have implemented at Haidilao: customer first, service first, and authentic taste!"

"We will set up a training class and select a group of employees for intensive training every year."

Wang Qian told all the plans he had thought of in one breath.

He doesn't want his Haidilao to follow the same path of another world's Haidilao, which was corrupted by capital after going public, stopped focusing on catering itself, caused customer experience to plummet, and then had its market value collapse rapidly, eventually facing the crisis of bankruptcy.

Wang Qian’s Haidilao is itself a big cash flow company and does not worry about customer flow.

Therefore, Wang Qian will build Haidilao into the number one hotpot restaurant chain in China, and insist on never listing it on the stock market, keeping it under complete control in his own hands to provide himself with cash flow.

Haidilao is an industrial company, unlike Internet companies like Qianqian Jingting. No matter how high the market value is, it is meaningless to Haidilao, which has abundant cash, because it does not need such capital to help expand the market. Perhaps capital can help in the short term to quickly seize the market and expand business, but in the long run, it is not worth the loss.

If you are short of money, you can go for a mortgage, buy a storefront and then get a mortgage, or apply for a loan based on performance. Banks will lend money easily, so there is no shortage of development funds.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It’s just that Wang Qian’s development was too cautious and slow before. He always insisted on using his own money to buy storefronts, and did not rent or take out loans to buy storefronts, so the start-up stage was very slow.

Now that Wang Qian has completely opened up, it will soon be able to quickly roll out in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Once rolled out, the turnover will soar, and it will be easier to get loans, entering a virtuous cycle...

Therefore, Haidilao does not need to go public at all.

Qin Xuerong thought carefully about the development model envisioned by Wang Qian, adding the added value of Wang Qian’s own fame and reputation.

Almost all of them are successful!

Then...

Qin Xuerong was slightly shocked.

She thought about it carefully.

If Qianqian Jingting completely defeats Tengfei and then goes public, its market value will definitely soar, beyond the imagination of many people. A market value of hundreds of billions is not impossible. Such Internet unicorn companies will be sought after by the capital market after they go public.

And if Haidilao can become a nationwide super chain of hotpot restaurants, with more than a thousand stores across the country, and most of them are its own storefront properties, then its actual value will be even more than that. The value of the hundreds of storefronts in good locations alone is terrifying!

If these two industries were added together, they would even exceed the wealth accumulated by their Qin family over decades.

She remembered what her sister said - it was our Qin family who was marrying up to Wang Qian! At that time, Qin Xuehong said this because Wang Qian's status and achievements in the field of international music and art would greatly enhance his official status in China, so the Qin family was marrying up to Wang Qian.

But now, Qin Xuerong knew even more that the Qin family might not be as wealthy as Wang Qian in the future! The Qin family was definitely marrying up to Wang Qian in all aspects.

Qin Xuerong felt a little pressure in her heart. She raised her eyes and looked at Wang Qian carefully. She hugged Wang Qian's arms tightly with both hands and kissed Wang Qian gently on the cheek. Her eyes gradually became blurred and her little hands were already restless in the quilt.

Wang Qian rubbed Qin Xuerong's face, looked at the data of Qian Qian Jing Ting on the computer page, and then logged into the Weibo page. Seeing that the number of his Weibo followers had exceeded 72 million, he felt happy and said on Weibo: "I am in Los Angeles, so I have less interaction with everyone. However, I still miss you in my heart. After all, I am Chinese."

"Thank you very much to all my friends who support me, but please don't praise me too much, those praises are too much. I will continue to work hard in North America to achieve good results to repay everyone's expectations!"

"Thanks……"

originally!

Wang Qian was moved when he saw so many people supporting him. He wanted to give away two calligraphy works through a lottery on Weibo to thank everyone.

Such artworks should be the most meaningful and valuable.

However, he thought that his work seemed to be of very high value, and sending it away so hastily would definitely cause a commotion on the Internet.

So, he suppressed the idea for the time being.

Wait, let’s talk about it after we return home.

Send it out.

This Weibo post directly ranked first on the Weibo hot list.

Within one minute, more than one million people left comments, and more than ten million people liked and forwarded the post! "Wow, Professor Wang finally spoke again. Professor Wang is so majestic and powerful. My whole family is watching the replay of Professor Wang's lecture on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV."

"We are also watching CCTV-3, waiting for Professor Wang to show his prowess at Curtis."

"Please Professor Wang, please upload the two songs House of Flying Daggers and Liang Zhu as soon as possible. I like them so much. Please download them."

"Professor Wang, when will the Romance of the Three Kingdoms be finished? I keep revisiting the beginning every day, but every time I get to this point it stops. I feel so bad. Please give me a quick ending."

"Professor Wang, the Golden Melody Awards officials said they sent you an invitation, but you didn't respond, and they said you didn't respect them, is that true?"

"Professor Wang, I really hope to see you perform in the Voice of China competition soon. It will definitely be wonderful. I am really looking forward to it..."

"Professor Wang..."

The number of messages is still increasing rapidly.

Almost everyone supports Wang Qian.

There were also many people who asked Wang Qian to finish The Romance of the Three Kingdoms as soon as possible.

I also want to play the two songs Liang Zhu and House of Flying Daggers! …

Wang Qian glanced at it briefly, said nothing more, and closed his Weibo directly. He planned to find an opportunity in the next two days to record the two piano pieces "Butterfly Lovers" and "House of Flying Daggers", as well as "Exodus" and "Lotus Goddess by the Waterside", and then upload them to Qianqian Jingting together!

Turn off the computer.

Wang Qian hugged Qin Xuerong and fell asleep.

Although Qin Xuerong was also tired, she had a sense of crisis in her heart, so she would not be honest and turned over and took the initiative! After an hour, the two of them fell asleep together exhausted.

…

And at this time.

In Los Angeles, many of The Voice contestants are still awake!

Adam and Winston were still busy in the recording studio.

They had come here in the morning and had not left the studio yet.

Adam kept humming the melody, and then kept writing and drawing on a piece of paper, some of which were notes, some of which were lyrics, all of which were the many inspirations he had accumulated in the past two days. His hands were already piled with sheets of paper with many symbols and words written on them.

Winston was still studying Wang Qian's music, his soundtracks and arrangements, trying to find characteristics and elements from them and then integrate them. The notebook at hand was also filled with many ideas.

Eric came in from outside with food and said, "Adam, Winston, it's time for you to eat."

The two ignored Eric immediately and continued to study for a while.

Then Adam stood up, handed Winston the lyrics and music he had sorted out on a piece of paper, and said, "Look, I just sorted out the first draft!"

Adam picked up a piece of pizza and started to eat it greedily.

Winston also ate while reading carefully, and then hummed the melody according to the notes on the paper. He whispered, "Jazz with a rock tone?"

Adam whispered, "I don't have a clear style. I write whatever comes to my mind! I just follow my own heart now."

Winston nodded, and then said in a barely audible voice: "But the rock style is more obvious!"

Adam paused for a moment and then continued eating.

They all know that the obvious rock style is due to the influence of several popular songs by Wang Qian.

After all, the music that Wang Qian has released is mainly rock, including several English rock songs that are very popular in Europe and the United States, the phoenix, I heat myself for loving you, and Its my life which he just sang at the opening performance. These three songs are absolutely rare rock masterpieces. In this era when rock is in decline, they almost represent the pinnacle of rock music in the entire world music scene, and have been a great success both in terms of word of mouth and market.

Eric whispered, "The download volume of Its My Life has exceeded 60 million. God, this song is going to burst out of the earth. In less than three days, it has exceeded 60 million downloads. No one dared to believe it. I think Kristen may be under a lot of pressure."

Adam still didn't say anything, but ate more vigorously. Then he took the draft that Winston was reading and said, "I have another idea. Let me revise it."

As he said that, Adam took the food, returned to the workbench, and continued writing and drawing on it.

Eric said, "Adam, we should go back and rest."

Adam said without even looking up: "I don't want to go back today, I'm staying here!"

Winston nodded and said, "Well, I'm not going back either."

Eric didn't say anything. He wanted to see Adam working so hard so that he could increase his chances of success.

This situation was something none of them had thought of before.

The imagined easy victory is impossible to happen.

Only by working so hard now can we increase our chances of winning.

Reality is so skeletal.

So Adam said, "Okay, I'll come back at midnight and bring you food."

Adam and Winston ignored Adam and continued to immerse themselves in their own music world.

Eric went first on his own.

…

In the hotel room.

Elizabeth didn't sleep either. She had been up late these past two days.

She sat on the bed, closed her eyes, held a pen in one hand, and shook it gently, making slight musical notes with her mouth, then wrote a few notes on the notebook in front of her, and then continued to hum a slight sound, and after a while she crossed out the previous notes and wrote new notes...

More than an hour passed.

Elizabeth paused and then played some music.

These were the songs played by Wang Qian.

Magic City Rhapsody, Exodus, Goddess of Luo River by the Water, Liang Zhu, House of Flying Daggers!

The piano and violin pieces, as well as Chinese classical music pipa pieces, performed by Wang Qian after he came to North America are now the focus of Elizabeth's research.

In the opinion of professional musicians, instrumental music of such different styles can best express the depth and concept of music.

I listened to it several times over.

Elizabeth turned it off, then went back into creative mode, writing and drawing in her notebook.

…

All other contestants of The Voice of China were also studying Wang Qian's music and discussing it with the musicians they were working with...

Every contestant is fully preparing for his or her next game! And Wang Qian's explosive download sales are almost a beacon of the current pop music market.

No one can ignore its influence.

…

On European and American networks, publicity for the first official competition of The Voice of China has officially begun in an overwhelming manner.

Thank you all…
