Chapter 504 The new female secretary Jin Mengyi
Du Xinghe would have to talk to Lin Jianguo about something very important about the core business of the Cloud World, that is, the suggestion of releasing low-priced records.
After seeing Chen Huilun's "Le Touch N-tree (Selected Collection)" sweeping the record market, Du Xinghe is now obsessed with releasing the lowest-priced records and wants to rebate the fans.
However, after several days of deeper thinking, he felt that it was indeed prudent to implement this policy. After all, breaking market laws is not so easy to succeed. Occasionally, one or two records may succeed, but it is not so easy to make this matter a normal situation. After all, this is a move that will cost many people's jobs.
Because Yunshi has a ready-made music library, it can save a lot of creative costs and significantly reduce the cost price of records. However, other record companies cannot do this. If Yunshi messes up the order of the record market, it will inevitably lead to the followers of other record companies. If other record companies reduce the record prices, it will indeed give back to fans, but it will harm the interests of practitioners and even music originals. This may cause the creative vitality of the entire market to wither.
This is just like the time when the Internet is free, and you can’t make money by making records. So most record companies went bankrupt, and a large number of music jobs no longer engage in the record industry. The record market suddenly fell from a prosperous state. Free music allowed fans to enjoy the benefits, but it really seriously damaged the source of motivation for original music.
Free is actually a double-edged sword for many industries, or even a double-edged sword that does more harm than good. Just like the literary industry and the film and television industry of the same type as the music industry, if everyone goes to watch free or even pirated versions, and original workers do not get any guarantee of benefits, what motivation do they have to continue creating?
If the Yun World set a precedent for low-priced records and disrupted the market rules, it would inevitably force a large number of music practitioners to escape, because the cut-off of the records is actually the profit of these people. They deprive their income. They will naturally change careers. This is actually a kind of harm to Chinese music itself.
Moreover, if the Yun World really does such a despicable thing, or even a matter of losing money, the record companies in the same industry may unite to resist the Yun World. Today, the Yun World does not have the capital to confront the entire industry. Not to mention the entire industry, it is easy for any big tycoon to kill the Yun World.
Considering these things, Du Xinghe believes that the promotion of low-priced records must be brainstormed, gather everyone's wisdom and discuss how to do it well.
But there is one thing he must do, that is, use Xu Nuo's album "Crazy for Love" as a test piece, and use it as a deep water bomb to experiment with what kind of fluctuations a low-priced complete record will cause in the market, and also see what the reactions of his peers are like.
The reason why Xu Nuo chose "Crazy for Love" for experiments was mainly because Xu Nuo would not have any grudges about releasing the lowest-priced record. As long as he wanted to do, Xu Nuo would definitely support it wholeheartedly. Du Xinghe was confident about this.
Singers are actually one of the most primitive creators in the music industry. Songwriters use their pens and brains to create, while singers use their own voices to create. If low-priced records are released, they will actually harm their interests the most directly. Because low-priced records will directly affect their royalty income.
For new singers, they may be able to release records, and they won’t care so much about the royalties of the records. Just like Yi Yan, who previously set a 3% royalty income, he signed a contract without hesitation. As long as he can sing, everything else doesn’t matter to newcomers.
Later, Du Xinghe couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that Yi Yan was so hard, so hard, and fighting for the cloud world, he raised the royalty to Yi Yan to 10% with his conscience.
This royalty is already high for newcomers, but for famous singers, like Fang Yajun, or even singers of the little queen level like Chen Huilun, they cannot agree to sign 10%. After all, famous singers have their own dignity. In their opinion, royalties below the same line are detrimental to them.
Low-priced records directly cut the royalties by more than 50%. How could a famous singer release a record such a royalty?
Yunshi cannot always rely on a group of newcomers to work hard. As these newcomers mature and develop, their royalties will also gradually increase. If you can get seven or eight yuan per record with a record number in other companies, but you can only get one yuan per record number in Yunshi, then even the most sincere singer will think about turning to other record companies.
Low-priced records are actually a kind of harm to singers. Du Xinghe asked himself that he does not have the super infectiousness that is above others, which can make singers work hard for the cloud world at a few times lower than other companies.
Even if the sales of low-priced records can make up for the price gap to a certain extent, how much this compensation can be made up requires practice to test. Before the real tests are truly conducted, no one can predict what the final result will be. From the psychological analysis of normal people, people must tend to choose more insurance benefits, that is, the benefits of high share.
So choosing some records to do low-priced experiments first has become something Du Xinghe must do. As for whom he chooses, he must choose those who are mentally unburdened, and Xu Nuo is obviously the best candidate.
Before the company moved, Du Xinghe had already discussed with Xu Nuo about reducing the price of "Crazy For Love", and also told Xu Nuo about her idea of promoting low-priced records. Xu Nuo must have been wholeheartedly supporting this, but she also gave Du Xinghe some suggestions from the perspective of a singer, such as the harm to the singer mentioned above, which Du Xinghe did not expect at first, but later realized after chatting with Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo said this, not for her own money bag at that time. For her, there was almost no difference between 100 million and 10 million, and she didn't know how to spend it. Including current commercial performances, attending various endorsements, and the net income after tax of more than 4 million yuan brought to her by the "Little Bird" record, she didn't know what to buy. Or in other words, her simple little head had no idea of buying valuables.
In addition to buying Du Xinghe for more than one million birthday gift sports car, paying for the family's travel expenses and treatments for medical treatment in the United States, and buying more than 50,000 Yushifang bags for her mother, she has never bought anything more than 5,000 yuan.
Now there is more than 2 million in the bank account, and she doesn't know how to spend it. She knows how to be content. She thinks that life is already very good now, so there is no luxury. She even hopes that Du Xinghe will help her spend the money or help her plan what to do. But Du Xinghe will of course not do such a thing. After all, it is Xu Nuo who earns hard work. How should he spend it? Xu Nuo himself should decide. What's going on?
No matter how much money the album "Mad For Love" earns for Xu Nuo, it doesn't make much sense to Xu Nuo. Instead, it uses this record to practice Du Xinghe's ideas. It's more meaningful to Xu Nuo.
After Lin Jianguo left that day, Du Xinghe unboxed some of the books he had packed and coded them one by one onto the ancient bookshelf against the wall.
After moving to the new company, his new secretary Jin Mengyi started working officially today.
The new company needs a new look, so Du Xinghe also hired a new secretary.
Compared with Duan Xiaoxuan, this new secretary, Jin Mengyi, looks much like a secretary in terms of appearance. She is 1.75 meters tall, tall, long legs, and dignified and quiet. She is not the type that can't be pulled out at a glance, but she is definitely an eye-catching female secretary.
Her figure is extremely extreme from Duan Xiaoxuan, she is very tall and thin. She wears a gray skirt suit that her secretary often wears, but she also has a skinny beauty wrapped.
She doesn't talk much, but she does things very simply and handles documents very well.
She often pushes the pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose, as if it is because the frame is a little too heavy, making her raised nose feel uncomfortable.
When Yun World was still in Qingyun Building, Jin Mengyi had been taken to work by Duan Xiaoxuan for several days, and Du Xinghe was quite satisfied with her.
The reason for hiring another secretary was that Du Xinghe wanted to relieve the pressure on Duan Xiaoxuan. Before, when Duan Xiaoxuan was only one secretary, he asked Duan Xiaoxuan to help me remember many things, and some schedules were also arranged.
He also asked Duan Xiaoxuan to practice singing every day, and asked Duan Xiaoxuan to get along with the employees below to find out what new ideas or dissatisfactions the employees have.
Duan Xiaoxuan also had to run to Luoshan from time to time to "surveillance" the three mixed-race children. This fat and beautiful girl is so busy that she is even more busy than Du Xinghe.
After coming to the new company, the company's scale has expanded by nearly four times and the number of employees has increased greatly. Duan Xiaoxuan also needs to prepare for the new Youth Star Song Competition in September. He will spend more time practicing singing in the past six months, and it is impossible to take into account more secretary work. So Du Xinghe divided some of Duan Xiaoxuan's tedious daily work and hired a new secretary to do it.
This is exactly what Duan Xiaoxuan recommended to Du Xinghe. He is 24 years old and graduated from Fuzhou University. He studied administrative management major in college. After graduation, he has been working for two years and has been a corporate secretary.
Duan Xiaoxuan and Jin Mengyi met in the amateur crew. Although Jin Mengyi didn’t talk much, she was actually quite cheerful in private. Since she was in college, she has liked to participate in activities of off-campus drama troupes. She has known Duan Xiaoxuan for five or six years and has a good relationship.
Before, when Duan Xiaoxuan heard that Yunshi wanted to recruit a secretary, Jin Mengyi immediately asked Duan Xiaoxuan to help recommend it and then came to Du Xinghe for an interview.
After passing the interview, the girl quit her previous job as a secretary in the printing company without hesitation and joined Yunshi.
She has always had the idea of working in an entertainment company, but unfortunately she has never had this opportunity. Now she can come to work in the cloud world, so she can get what she wants.
Under her seemingly quiet and silent appearance, there is actually a heart that yearns for the entertainment industry, making movies, and becoming a celebrity. Although Yunshi is a record company, it is a company linked to the entertainment industry. Perhaps this is the springboard for her future stardom.
That afternoon, Du Xinghe coded books on the bookshelf for a while and received a call from Zhang Yifan.
In less than two weeks, the Fuwan Youth Cup tennis match is about to start. Zhang Yifan called to congratulate Yunshi on his move to the new location (Du Xinghe told her about this when practicing football). Then Zhang Yifan and Du Xinghe beat the ball practice tomorrow (Saturday).
Most of Yunshi employees will work overtime this weekend. They will come to make up for the shifts that were previously on the move. On the weekend, they will come to the company to organize their new offices and be familiar with the environment. Du Xinghe has nothing to do with him. It seems that there will be a meeting tomorrow morning, but he can refuse it. So he agreed to Zhang Yifan. The two agreed to go to the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center in the suburbs tomorrow morning to practice football.
The annual Fuwan Youth Cup tennis match is played at the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center. It is a large tennis base composed of 15 courts and training grounds. It is the best tennis court in the Fuwan area.
The annual Atp Fuwan Championship is also played in Blue Moon Bay, and the Fuwan Youth Cup is a hot game before the Fuwan Championship.
Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center is not far from Fang Yajun's villa area, and it takes about 50 minutes to drive from the city center. Du Xinghe and Zhang Yifan made an appointment. He went to Fuda to pick up Zhang Yifan tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning. Then they drove to Blue Moon Bay.
The reason why they run so far to practice is mainly to adapt to the venue. The tennis courts in Fuda are of practice. Although the conditions are very good, the ground materials are still very different compared to professional courts. Although they are all hard ground fields, due to the surprise of the ground materials, the ball's bounce is obviously different. If they want to achieve good results in the Youth Cup, they must adapt to the real game venue.
After quitting Zhang Yifan's phone number, Du Xinghe pressed the phone call button on the table and called Jin Mengyi into the office.
"Hello, Mr. Du, do you need to add tea?"
As soon as Jin Mengyi came in, she greeted Du Xinghe politely. Before, Jin Mengyi had been secretary for Du Xinghe for several days in Qingyun Building, and Du Xinghe gradually adapted to Jin Mengyi's secretary style, which was completely different from Duan Xiaoxuan.
When Duan Xiaoxuan was his secretary, she almost never said "hello" or something. She just said anything about it. Just like a friend, she usually doesn't care about politeness, and never calls him "Mr. Du", but calls him "little boss" - this is more like a nickname than a boss.
However, Jin Mengyi changed Duan Xiaoxuan's casual attitude. Maybe she was used to being a secretary before, and she had already formed a professionalization. She has always been very respectful to her boss.
Du Xinghe felt quite awkward at first and wanted Jin Mengyi to change it and not be so serious. But later thinking about it, he felt that the secretary should have been like this, not like Duan Xiaoxuan before, so he simply asked Jin Mengyi to follow her own style, and even let her change her name.
After listening to this for a few days, he found that this feeling was pretty good. Only when he was treated like this would he really feel like he was a boss. Perhaps the emperor was spoiled so much.
This day was a happy day for Yun World to move, Jin Mengyi did not wear a low-key and inconspicuous gray tube skirt suit as usual, but instead changed into a more eye-catching white professional tube skirt. The light blue silk shirt on her upper body was tucked into the waist of the tube skirt, showing her particularly slender waist, which was slim and slim.
At first glance, she looked like a white cloud under the blue sky, complementing the name of the cloud world. She obviously put a lot of thought into her dressing.
This is the first time that a male colleague in the company has seen Jin Mengyi wearing such a beautiful suit. Many people have looked at Jin Mengyi a few more times. They didn't expect that Jin Mengyi...'s legs are so long before!
Previously internship at Qingyun Building, Jin Mengyi's tumble skirt was the same as her knees, and her top would cover the waist of the tumble skirt. Her overall look was average and even inconspicuous, so it would not make people pay special attention to her.
But today Jin Mengyi's shirt was stuffed into the tumble skirt, and it was still a high-waisted tumble skirt. Although the hem of the white tumble skirt was still close to the knees, it was not a short skirt, but because it was a high-waisted style, the waist was lifted very high, and the skirt was wrapped tightly, which immediately highlighted her slender buttocks and her super long pair of beautiful legs. Only then did people realize that this girl's legs were so long! Even better than ordinary models!
In fact, the white gold-toed high heels she wore today are not particularly long, only about 3 cm, which is considered a short heel. But even so, the high-waisted tunic skirt still makes people feel that the proportion of her lower body accounts for nearly two-thirds of her whole body!
Du Xinghe was stunned when he first looked at Jin Mengyi in the morning, thinking that Jin Mengyi had deformed like a Transformer, but why did her legs suddenly become so long? Later he discovered that it was because her skirt waist had improved a lot.
During the morning celebration, Jin Mengyi followed Du Xinghe as a secretary most of the time. With such a long-legged secretary, Du Xinghe personally felt quite face-saving. Those friends in the circle would subconsciously glance at Jin Mengyi when they came to say hello to him, which would also be considered as giving Yunshi. Just imagine, if Duan Xiaoxuan followed him in such an occasion, how would people think about Yunshi?
At first, when he recruited Jin Mengyi to the company, Du Xinghe did not consider this matter much. At that time, he felt that this girl was Duan Xiaoxuan's friend and would have a good job with Duan Xiaoxuan. In addition, she was a graduate of Fu University and did not lack work experience, so Du Xinghe recruited her, but she didn't expect that she could still support her.
At this time, Jin Mengyi came in and saw that Du Xinghe's Luohan Fruit Wood Tea was gone, so she had the eyes to ask Du Xinghe if she had added tea.
Du Xinghe's newly renovated office has a special Chinese tea table for guests to make tea and talk about things.
Du Xinghe himself also likes to make tea. If he doesn't have tea, he can make it himself.
However, when Jin Mengyi mentioned it, he took a soak for Jin Mengyi.
He signaled Jin Mengyi to go to the tea table to help him make tea. After that, Du Xinghe continued to organize his bookshelf and said to Jin Mengyi: "The company's regular meeting tomorrow morning will be held by President Lin. I have something to do. I won't come tomorrow morning. Please remember it."
The main topic of the regular meeting tomorrow morning is to move the new company's work deployment. Most of Du Xinghe has already instructed the managers at all levels this afternoon to tell Lin Jianguo what he said again tomorrow morning, so he took the time to practice football.
This month, Du Xinghe has practiced football with Zhang Yiyang and Zhang Yifan, and he has re-experienced the college time he once had the youth that was free to fly. Infected by the vitality of these young people, he felt that he was much younger, and he really felt reborn.
It is precisely because of this feeling that he has developed a strong interest in tennis.
When a person makes some incredible progress and achievements in a new field, he will be keen on continuing to explore himself in this field.
Du Xinghe has this feeling now. Although it is better to ride and swimmer on the tennis court than to swim freely in music time, the pleasure of sweating on the court made him deeply feel the hidden pleasure loaded by the strange force in his body. During this period, due to strengthening physical exercise, he can clearly feel his body being increasingly adapted to the overload of the strange force. This adaptive pleasure made him experience a miracle of life, and he began to love this feeling a little.
At first, he played tennis just to express his apology for Zhang Yifan's cracking butt, but now he plays tennis because he really likes this sport. So he turned it off, which is not so important in the company, so he directly turned it off.
However, he did not forget to remind Jin Mengyi, saying: "Before the regular meeting tomorrow morning, please remind Mr. Lin again. At the regular meeting, we will emphasize the promotion of Yi Yan's "Flower Heart" album. This album will be released next week. All the company's current work focus will be on this album."
"Okay, I remember everything." Jin Mengyi put the brewed tea on Du Xinghe's desk and recorded everything Du Xinghe said in the business portable computer she carried with her.
After Yunshi relocated, not only did the bird gun change in the working environment, but the internal working software and hardware were also upgraded. For example, the handheld computer held in Jin Mengyi was the latest technology product that Yunshi provided to the supervisors and the secretary of the supervisors after this relocation.
Although the handheld computers in this era are limited to handwritten notes, setting up work schedules, alarm clock reminders and other simple functions, and the screen is a gray screen with very low resolution, and the actual application effect is not much better than paper notepads, this replacement can also show a trend of the cloud world adapting to the trend of the times.
Originally, Lin Jianguo opposed Du Xinghe wasting money to buy these things. This handheld computer costs more than 2,000 yuan, and I don’t know how many notepads I can buy.
Du Xinghe insisted on upgrading, and he wanted to convey to everyone the message that the Izumi World is at the forefront of the times.
Chapter completed!
