In 2015, calls for the introduction of the strongest copyright order became increasingly louder.

Before the decree was promulgated, the major giants naturally received the news in advance and intensively planned the music industry.

On March 16, Ali Music was officially established, which was formed by the merger of the original Xiami Music and Ali Planet (formerly Tiantian Dongting).

After the merger of the two, the cumulative market share reached 21.9%, becoming No. 1 in the domestic music industry.

At the same time, NetEase Cloud and QQ Music are also accelerating their music business and aggressively acquiring music copyrights.

Although Luo Xiu did not receive any inside information, he started to acquire music copyrights as early as three years ago, when music copyrights fell to a bargain price.

In an era when 90% of music was pirated and making music was worse than selling roasted ducks, his act of acquiring copyrights was once ridiculed and called a fool.

Obviously you can download pirated music online without spending money, but he has to pay the singer.

Now, everyone suddenly discovered that this "fool" who insists on buying genuine resources is actually a fool, and the copyright assets in his hands have increased countless times.

Especially since Luo Xiu was still very poor at the time, even these copyrights, which were priced at cabbage prices, still needed to seek financing everywhere.

After hearing the purpose of his financing, the capital investors rejected it one after another, looking like dogs shaking their heads.

After all, China at that time was still known as a copycat country.

At that time, Chuang Hing Capital, the only company willing to spend money, also required a strict gambling agreement and a three-year agreement, requiring Zhiyin to be listed before December 31, 2015.

That is this year.

This gambling agreement is full of traps. They don't expect Zhiyin to be listed before 2016, just to make you in debt.

Even so, Luo Xiu signed the contract without much thought.

Now we are getting closer to the three-year agreement, and with the arrival of the strongest copyright order, the market is becoming more and more optimistic about Zhiyin.

It seems that the listing of Zhiyin is not just empty talk.

Chuang Hing Capital, which might have originally just wanted to win a small sum of money through betting, now finds that if Zhiyin is successfully listed, he will make a huge sum of money.

So Yang Chen often went to Luo Xiu's office for three days and two, asking him when he would start preparing for the listing.

"Mr. Luo, I suggest you start the B-round and C-round financing as soon as possible. I can also help find some institutions with rich IPO experience to go public as quickly as possible."

"It's not necessary. I'm not short of money now, why do I still need to raise funds?" Luo Xiu asked.

"Continue to acquire copyrights. Mr. Luo, your previous idea was right. Copyright is the core asset. Now Alibaba and Penguin have started acquiring copyrights. We cannot lag behind them. When we hold the most copyrights in our hands

, there are enough stories to hype up the listing.”

"Mr. Yang, there is no rush to go public. We can do it sooner or later."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he politely poured him a cup of tea, looking calm and relaxed.

"The preparations for listing cannot be completed in a day or two. We have taken advantage of the opportunity and listed it first. Otherwise, we will become more and more passive after Alibaba Penguin exerts its strength."

"It is precisely because we know the strength of those two families that we have to wait first."

"Mr. Luo, don't forget that our betting deadline is until the end of this year."

Luo Xiu shrugged after hearing this, "I remember that the contract stipulated that the investment amount and 10% annual interest would be returned. We can still get this money now."

The current Pinru Group is not three years ago. At that time, it had to ask for help from everywhere for this financing. Now it can be obtained at any time.

The other party obviously understood this, and his expression changed again and again.

Although getting back 10% annual interest is quite good, but compared with the value-added after Zhiyin's listing, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Moreover, the annual interest can only be earned for three years. If Zhiyin never goes public, his investment will either remain frozen or he will have to leave the market with a meager interest.

What was originally a gambling trap turned into a pit dug for oneself.

"Mr. Luo, we can negotiate whatever conditions you have, whether it's a cash reward or anything else."

When a company has good prospects and the founder has absolute controlling rights, sometimes capital has to bow its head.

Because as long as it is not listed for one day, the capital cannot be realized.

Alibaba used this to blackmail SoftBank and ask for permission to spin off Alipay before agreeing to go public.

SoftBank naturally knows how big the fat piece of Alipay is, which is equivalent to creating another Alibaba.

If it was not forced, how could it be so easy to agree to the split?

But in order for Alibaba to go public smoothly, we had no choice but to endure it.

In addition to special cases like Ali, there are also people who directly ask for money.

For example, when Xiaomi went public on July 9, 2018, Mr. Lei was given a 9.8 billion red envelope without his knowledge.

That’s 9.8 billion. From 2015 to 2018, Xiaomi’s R&D expenditures were only 1.5 billion yuan, 2.1 billion yuan, 3.2 billion yuan and 5.78 billion yuan respectively.

If a company is not listed on the market, it will be difficult to realize the initial capital investment, and it will be forced to agree to some seemingly unreasonable demands.

Now, it seems to Yang Chen that Mr. Luo also wants to make additional demands.

He has already made this mental preparation. As long as his fundamental interests are not harmed, anything can be discussed.

Luo Xiu shook his head: "I personally have no requirements. Everything is for the better development of the company. When the time comes to go public, I will naturally go public. If the time doesn't come, there is no point in hurrying."

No requirement is the biggest requirement.

Yang Chen heard what Luo Xiu said and said anxiously: "Mr. Luo, if the worst happens, I will continue to wait and recognize the outcome, but how long can your close friend wait? Wait until next year when Alibaba and Penguin will start to work hard. They have capital and users. I'm afraid that

Even if I want to go public at that time, I won’t be able to do so.”

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "I don't need Mr. Yang to worry about this matter."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Yang Chen stood up angrily, turned around and strode out of Luo Xiu's office.

Even now, he still believes that Zhiyin will go public this year, and now it is just to negotiate a good condition.

After all, no one has trouble with money.

Luo Xiu did not get up to see him out, and continued to leisurely brew the tea sent by his future father-in-law.

Guan Shiyu opened the door and walked in, sat next to him, and asked helplessly: "Did you quarrel?"

"No, he wants me to go public. I don't want to go public just yet."

"He invested US$100 million in real money, and of course he wants to get a return as soon as possible."

"It depends on what purpose he had at the time. If he really helped me, let alone 100 million, even if it was only 1 million, I would definitely let him get enough reward.

If he had the intention of cheating me from the beginning, and now he falls into the hole he dug, and I don't add insult to injury, it would be considered a bodhisattva-hearted thing, so he still wants me to help him?"

Guan Shiyu walked up behind him, squeezed his shoulders, and said gently: "It's better if you don't cheat others. Who can cheat you?"
