Chapter 166 The Reserve Force of the Literary Clan
Yu Zhenke never expected that someone who was just a cannon stand in Tang Jinmao's manor would actually care about him so much.
In fact, he rarely comes to Don Golden Hair's estate.
Especially when they come to the manor, it's just to fire at people at will.
After all, Hollywood had been actively seeking close cooperation, working day and night for so long that it was almost like letting him overeat and indulge in gluttony, a well-fed man not knowing the hunger of a starving man.
They've developed an immunity to those things that happened under the guise of official documents.
Men, they're all the same, they'll try to lure innocent women into prostitution and persuade sex workers to reform themselves.
When they finally have the opportunity to be gardeners year after year, they start to think about health and wellness, pursuing the idea of passing through flowers without a single petal sticking to them.
I met with Tang Jinmao today to discuss serious business.
"Ah Chuan, how's the preparation for that 'Century Record' going? Are you confident you can sell it globally? Also, what's your target sales number?"
"Ten million copies sold worldwide!!!"
Tang Jinmao immediately responded firmly, "I guarantee that, no matter what, there will be at least ten million copies sold!!!"
""
Yu Zhen sighed softly, "Sigh, A-Chuan, we've been working together for so long, how come you haven't improved at all? Look at your lack of ambition, you just plan to sell a few albums, and you still dare to pat your chest? What can I say to you? Do you think our record distribution channels operate exactly the same way as other musicians and companies inside and outside the industry?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jinmao immediately became excited.
He nervously rubbed his hands together, chuckling, "My God, I'm not very bright, and the only way I can think of is through the proper channels. But if I could get your guidance, rest assured, I would carry it out one hundred percent, absolutely without any compromise! I swear on my mother's name!!"
Well, ever since the incident with the sharp-tongued Webber.
Tang Jinmao had figured out the so-called "Achilles' heel" in communicating with Yu Zhen. Whenever they encountered something that seemed difficult or troublesome, he would always add a sentence like "I swear in my mother's name" to it.
Yu Zhen didn't take it seriously and laughed, "In the business world, there's a logic like this: what's free is the most expensive." I wonder if you understand that? If you do, then your expectations for the release of this record of the century won't be so narrow-minded as to only want ten million copies. Do you understand?!"
Tang Jinmao, seemingly confused but impressed, said, "My God, I understand a little, but not thoroughly. Could you please give me a more in-depth analysis? Please, if you accomplish this, I'll find you the purest white-skinned, blonde virgin saint in all of America to serve you—"
"What a load of nonsense!!"
Yu Zhen angrily retorted, "Am I such a morally bankrupt person?! Don't insult me with such shallow matters between men and women!"

""
Tang Jinmao smiled broadly, "Yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right—"
But in my heart I was thinking that once my island was fully developed, I would definitely invite you to come and have a three-day, three-night blast.
No man in the world could resist such freedom and ease.
"Ah Chuan, I'm seriously talking to you about a legitimate business. Remember, the most expensive businesses in the world always start by providing a service completely free. If you trust me, distribute at least 5 million copies of our 'Century Record' directly to the world for free!"
"Wat Law—yes, yes—I can arrange for its execution!" Tang Jinmao was initially shocked and immediately swore, but he quickly came to his senses and realized that he had almost missed the friendship of the Dongguo writer. He quickly tried to make amends and said that he would arrange for its execution as planned.
However, they directly distributed 5 million copies of the Century Record to the world for free.
How much capital would he have to put into this business operation?
The production cost of a record alone is at least $5.
If it were released for free worldwide, the costs would increase significantly. All things considered, on average, each record would cost at least $7 to $8.
This would mean losing nearly $4 million.
And this doesn't even include the $1 million content creation fee that has to be paid to the other party, that super bet.
Well, it took a lot of hard work to earn that little bit of wealth.
If this continues, we might end up penniless again.
As he agreed, he quickly and cautiously inquired, "My God, rest assured, I will follow your instructions. However, I also need to provide some reasonable explanations to the other shareholders of the company. So, I would like to ask you to explain to this foolish man again how we should ultimately turn this record of the century into a scythe of death that reaps wealth—"
"Knowing that you're stupid means there's still hope for you."
Yu Zhen waved his hand casually, patiently smiling as he prompted, "Let me ask you a question: to you, what level of wealth do you consider enough? Hmm, your pig-brain probably won't understand if I ask you this. Your answer is definitely, the more wealth the better, you wish all the wealth in the world could be controlled by your brother A-Chuan, right?"
Tang Jinmao laughed awkwardly, because that was exactly what he was thinking.
That's obvious! Who would complain about having too much money in their pocket? If one day all the wealth in the world were under my control, haha, wouldn't I be the emperor of North America?
"My God, please scold me awake!"
"Remember this: don't limit yourself to being just a wealthy businessman. Dare to dream big, set grander ideals, even if you want to be an emperor! This world has always belonged to capable and intelligent people; fools have no right to rule it!"
"Wow, that's fantastic! I want to be the emperor, hahaha!!"
"Alright, just keep this ideal to yourself, but don't tell anyone else. Don't let people think you're a weirdo. Now I'll explain to you in detail why free things are the most expensive—"
Yu Zhen then proceeded to bombard A-Chuan with ideas on how to leverage Century Records' free global distribution to give him the opportunity to truly engage with the fundamental aspects of the world.
To put it bluntly, it's about letting Achuan truly control his wealth and capital.
Make them understand that true wealth is merely about possessing greenbacks; that's the most foolish paper game.
The simplest and most direct way to realize the value of wealth.
For example, if you establish a partnership with the military and deliver free records to American soldiers all over the world, wouldn't it be a natural progression to make money from them?
In the world of capital, you yourself must first become a servant of capital.
Moreover, at any time, only by becoming a recognized part of the industry's capital structure can you continue to operate within it.
Brother Chuan, if you become a cultural capital tycoon across the United States, you're guaranteed to make a fortune!
