As of December 10, according to statistics from the publishing company, the sales volume of golden song queen Yin Xia's second album "Micro Happiness" has successfully exceeded the 1.5 million mark, making her the most popular among mainland singers this year.
legend.
This did not surprise everyone. After all, Yin Xia's legend of winning both Best Newcomer and Best Female Singer at the Golden Melody Awards as a newcomer is still being talked about by everyone. Of course, by
By this time, no one had doubted her ability. Among the divas who had released films in the same year, Yin Xia's performance was considered to be one of the best.
Even though Hunan Satellite TV's talent show has become more popular than ever this year, and all the singers it has selected through this year's talent show are extremely popular. However, the female singers in the Mainland music scene have become extremely popular among newcomers.
Queen Yin Xia was completely enveloped, so that other people's record sales were affected to some extent. Yin Xia did not win the second place at the 7th MTV Music Festival hosted by TV, but this did not hinder her
With "Love Summer", it won several awards, including the Best Album Award and the Best Single Award. This can be regarded as making up for the regret that the album itself failed to win any Golden Melody Awards. Hosted by tv
The awards obviously place more emphasis on qualifications. Two heavyweight awards - the Mainland Female Singer of the Year and the Most Popular Mainland Female Singer of the Year were awarded to Han Hong and Zhou Xun respectively. Compared with Yin Xia, who is an out-and-out
No chance for newcomers.
At the end of the year, Warner Music International released a huge piece of news, that is, Yin Xia will conduct her first tour across the country in the spring of 2006. As soon as this news was released, people began to inquire about the concert.
The issue of fares.
This concert tour was planned after being inspected by Warner Records. Before this, almost no singer could start his own tour after releasing his second album. I am afraid that after signing Yin Xia, a queen, he became this
One of the most noteworthy things happened at Warner Records Donghai Branch in the past two years.
Probably only Zhang Jiuhong understands more clearly that Yin Xia alone may not be enough to have such an effect. What is more important is that Mr.
He didn't write any songs. The last song he sent was given to Zhang Huimei, who specially came to Donghai Warner to invite her to sing. There is also definite news that this song was included in Zhang Huimei's new album.
At a time when the domestic music scene was still in turmoil.
In mid-December, Xia Ruxuan in the United States received new news. Fortunately, this time he had almost completed all the papers and exams that he should have completed, and Stanford's campus had officially entered the Christmas holiday. Xia Ruxuan
I finally have time to devote all my energy to the company. After all, this is the most important stage of the company now.
The new news is that Viacom CEO Wolf has a better suggestion than a meal at a local restaurant, claiming he's on a Viacom plane.
Come to San Francisco and ask the young managers of Friendsbook if they are willing to take a special plane to New York to attend a banquet in Manhattan.
Zuckerberg was naturally looking forward to such a proposal, and Xia Ruxuan had no reason to refuse such a friendly proposal from Michael Wolff.
Two days later, Xia Ruxuan met this big guy at the San Francisco Airport. At the same time, he also met the long-famous Michael Wolff, a senior executive of this level that Xia Ruxuan had never thought of getting along with in his previous life, and now everything
The impossible has become possible.
Through the glass curtain wall, Xia Ruxuan saw the so-called "Gulfstream G5", the most expensive business jet in the world. It was parked quietly in the airport, like a big sleeping monster, which made Zuckerberg scream in excitement,
It is full of streamlines, and its pointed head faces the glass curtain wall like a fighter jet, making countless people stop and watch.
The value of this aircraft is about 50 million U.S. dollars. You must know that even the Boeing series of aircraft, which is the most widely used in the world, is only about 80 million U.S. dollars. Of course, its name can correspond to other prices.
Among more than a hundred similar commercial aircraft in service, the Gulfstream G5 aircraft is recognized as the safest, most practical and most comfortable commercial aircraft in the world. More than a quarter of the Fortune 500 companies have
The company uses the "Gulfstream" series of business jets. The "Gulfstream G5" business jet is actually a symbol of status. Its manufacturer, Gulfstream Aerospace, is currently a famous manufacturer of luxury and large business jets in the world. The "Gulfstream G5" is the most
Advanced models.
At this time, this aristocratic company was waiting for Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg.
Given the domestic environment, even if Xia had the ability, it would not be able to purchase an aircraft.
Now when Xia Ruxuan saw this business plane, he suddenly felt a little strange. Flying from San Francisco Airport to Westchester Airport is a total distance of nearly 3,000 kilometers. Even if you take a plane, you need to spend a lot of time on the plane.
Five hours. During this period, no one will interfere with them.
So Xia Ruxuan suddenly felt that this executive from Viacom Group, the third largest media giant in the United States, was not just trying to take them along. Xia Ruxuan had never forgotten that a year ago, Viacom Group wanted to take them for a ride.
Acquiring the entire Friendbook for US$70 million. Are they really willing to take only 5% today?
Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg walked into the plane together with Wolfe, and Wolfe was as calm as if he was doing a normal thing. Xia Ruxuan pursed her lips to hide her emotions, and Zuckerberg
But he was looking around like a child at a loss as if he had an uncontrollable excitement.
Xia Ruxuan caught some special colors in Wolfe's seemingly plain eyes, which made him more sure of his judgment just now, and a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Such a reaction made Wolfe pick it up lightly.
Eyebrow.
When the roar of the plane rang in his ears and the Gulfstream G5 began to slowly take off, Xia Ruxuan suddenly felt as if the whole world was being stepped on.
After the plane gradually rose to an altitude of over 30,000 feet, everything finally returned to calm.
"Mr. Wolf." Zuckerberg finally suppressed his excitement, "I can't believe where I am now."
Michael Wolf smiled and sat quietly in his seat. His assistant took out two materials and handed them to Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg.
"Mr. Xia, Mr. Zuckerberg." Wolf said calmly, "This is a great aircraft. You can take a look at the acquisition plan above. As long as you nod your head and agree, you can own one.
It is a wonderful thing to fly such a plane, and at the same time, you will also become the youngest billionaires in the world."
"Acquisition plan?" Xia Ruxuan frowned.
Zuckerberg was stunned for a moment but didn't know what to say. He originally thought that Viacom might have some intentions, but he never thought that Viacom planned to acquire the entire company.
"Yes." Wolfe looked calm and indifferent. "Of course, I don't ask you to give me the answer now. I can give you a full four hours of thinking time. We will discuss this issue at the end. You can first
Take a look at this plan."
Xia Ruxuan calmly picked up the material. In the next second, his pupils suddenly tightened, and a strong impact hit his heart violently, one after another, for a long time. At this moment, his
There was a strong feeling of dizziness in his brain. He didn't know whether the dizziness came from the roar of the plane or... this information.
"Two billion?!" Zuckerberg, who was sitting next to him, couldn't control his excitement and shouted out of control.
"Yes, Mr. Zuckerberg, it is 2 billion, but we can only pay 1.2 billion in cash, and the remaining 800 million will be paid in other ways." Wolf said lightly, as if
Telling a trivial thing.
Xia Ruxuan turned around and glanced at him. This was the courage coming from giant companies around the world, a kind of courage that was unstoppable.
If he didn't have the memory of two lifetimes, he knew that the website would develop to a point that no one could predict. He thought that maybe he would really be tempted by the price of two billion. In two years... two billion
The income in US dollars, this achievement has exceeded anyone in the world, and he is even thinking... Two billion US dollars may be enough for Xia to overcome any difficulty of funding gap, but Xia Ruxuan is thinking about it all day long.
Hundreds of billions, hundreds of billions, but for a moment, when two billion were so close to him, he admitted that his heart was really moved.
"Before that, let's put this problem aside and enjoy the journey." Wolfe clapped his hands, as if he was trying to play hard to get, but it's a pity... Xia Ruxuan has all the memories of his previous life. He knows that if
Selling this site for two billion is such a ridiculous thing.
He originally thought that Zuckerberg would be very excited about this number. After all, he remembered that in his previous life, Zuckerberg almost sold the website for one billion. Later, it was because Viacom could only sell 800 million.
Cash made him hesitate for a long time. But when he looked at Zuckerberg, he only saw excitement in his eyes, nothing more. Xia Ruxuan suddenly felt relieved.
Zuckerberg controlled the conversation for most of the rest of the trip. He asked about Viacom's MTV music television business, how Viacom Group makes money, how to gain audiences, etc.
wait.
Wolf indeed tried every means to convince Zuckerberg that he would flourish if he stood in their hands, but Zuckerberg never mentioned the sale. As time passed, Wolf became increasingly
became anxious.
