Chapter 598: They are after their influence!
Wang Yuanchao smiled and explained to Zheng Juan:

"Foreigners' names are too long, so we usually call them by their nicknames. Ronald's nickname is Ronan, and Davis' nickname is David."

Zheng Juan then nodded in confusion, thinking, “Oh, I’m so uneducated that I don’t even know this common sense.”

"Brother Yuan Chao, am I too stupid?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"It's better to be a little stupid. You are so stupid that you only know to listen to your brother Yuan Chao in everything! I like this about you!"

"Then go take a shower. I want to sleep with you tonight. I can blow dry the rest myself." Zheng Juan took the hair dryer.

Wang Yuanchao went to take a quick shower.

Of course, the two of them didn’t do anything, Zheng Juan was too tired!
The next morning, after a night of rest and recuperation, the two...

Wang Yuanchao has been helping La Zipperdun to watch the door these days. Seeing how proud he is, he can't hold it back any longer.

He is a very loyal brother and he has done a lot.

Not to mention Zheng Juan, how could a thirty-year-old woman complain about her husband’s excessive love?
If there weren't two children in the next room, Zheng Juan would not have gotten out of bed today.

The two children were very unhappy when they heard that they were going to be sent back to Washington. In the White House, they could only be good kids. How could it be as refreshing as following their dad out to run wild?

Zheng Juan said:
"Brother Yuanchao, the children don't want to go back. Aren't you going to send them back just because I'm here? It's okay. I'll go back to Hong Kong after I deliver the things. It won't delay us."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"It has nothing to do with you. They've been out having fun for a few days. I'm going to New York soon. Since you're here, why don't we go there and buy some things to take back with us?

By the way, they can understand you when you speak Chinese.”

The two children quickly turned their heads away, which was simply a confession.

Wang Yuanchao turned to Kate next to him and said:

"You took my wife to New York for a stroll?

You can have a copy of whatever she buys, and I'll pay for it.

Let's see how good you are at taking her shopping."

Kate readily agreed. He couldn't even do a good job of taking people shopping, so he deserved that he couldn't take advantage of Adam.

Ronan poked his brother, and David said:
"Dad, should we bring some presents for grandma?"

Ronan immediately followed in Chinese:

"Yes, Dad, let's go to New York with Auntie to buy some gifts. Grandma has worked so hard to raise us."

David also realized that he should have spoken Chinese just now, so he added:

"I feel so sorry for my grandma."

As long as they don't go home, the two boys will accept it even if they just go shopping.

Last night, Wang Yuanchao briefly introduced the two children to Zheng Juan. Knowing that their mother was not very reliable and that they grew up with their grandparents, Zheng Juan couldn't help but said with distress:

"Brother Yuanchao, how about I take them with me? It just so happens that you asked me to bring some gifts back to my sisters."

We still have to give Zheng Juan face, so that the children know that their aunt has importance in their father's mind!
"Ok."

"Oh yeah!" The two children clapped their hands excitedly.

So the plane flew directly to New York.

After arriving in New York, Wang Yuanchao parted ways with the main group and went to the Muse Music headquarters.

Last year, Joey was poached from Elektra Records to be the CEO of Muse Music, and he brought the band Queen with him.

The primary target at that time was Michael Jackson, who was planning to produce the album "Thriller" with Quincy Jones.

Wang Yuanchao talked with Joey for a long time at that time, all about shopping and telling them not to worry about money.

Because the album "Thriller" is the most representative album in Jackson's music career, it successfully opened the era of MVs with plots and is also regarded as a great revolution in the music industry.

[The best-selling album in history is Michael Jackson's "Thriller", which has sold more than 1982 million copies worldwide from 2006 to 5100. "Thriller" has generated $41 billion in revenue for the global record industry.]

Michael Jackson signed with Epic Records, also known as Epic Records, under Columbia Records.

Joey lived up to expectations and paid a penalty of $2000 million to snatch Michael Jackson, an item that was not for sale from Epic Records.

Muse Music signed Jackson to a 10-album deal that paid him a staggering $1000 million in advance royalties.

Otherwise, why would Jackson come to your Muse Music?

3000 million dollars!
Everyone who knows about it thinks Muse Music is crazy.

But Wang Yuanchao knew what Michael Jackson represented.

On November 11 last year, Jackson released the album "Thriller", which later topped the US album chart for 30 consecutive weeks. It also topped the charts in many countries around the world, and spawned 37 singles that topped the charts for seven consecutive times.

In March this year, when he participated in the TV special program of "Motown Records' 3th anniversary", he launched his iconic magical "Moonwalk" dance. This dance step of black clothes, leather shoes and white socks, with fast and mechanical footwork switching, has become popular all over the world and has been imitated by countless people.

Motown Records is the black record company where the Jackson Five brothers made their debut.

Jackson's success is beyond doubt, and even the new president of Muse Music, Joey, has become famous again. Joey knows that he is just carrying out the boss's request. It's just that the boss hides his achievements and fame, and gives the honor of discerning talents to him.

Against the backdrop of its successful poaching of Jackson, Muse Music's acquisition of the mid-range label Liberty Records seemed quite quiet.

At Wang Yuanchao's request, Muse Music will not only continue to acquire other small and medium-sized labels, but also focus on large companies such as Columbia Records or RCA Records.

The pie that Wang Yuanchao painted for Joey was the same one that he painted for the media group.

Thanks to Jackson's success, Joey felt that nothing was impossible for his boss.

"RCA is known for classical music, and is a little behind the times in terms of pop and rock music. But their accumulation, heritage and channels will be a great complement to our Muse. It should be easier to conquer than Columbia." Joey thought for a while and said.

Wang Yuanchao nodded and said:
“I still say the same thing, don’t worry about the funding. If we are acquiring these big companies, I will introduce the Adventurer Fund to invest in Muse Music.

The Adventurer Fund has a large amount of funds waiting for suitable investment projects.

In the long run, this investment will pay off handsomely.”

For Muse, acquiring RCA or Columbia Records would be a bit of a small move, and the profits would certainly not be as great as poaching Jackson this time.

This time, Muse Music poached Jackson with its own funds + loans. Obviously, Muse Music got a big bite of fat meat, and the whole company reaped great benefits.

Joey knew that the Adventurer Fund was backed by the California Consortium, and possibly the Texas Consortium and the Citigroup Consortium, all of which were guys who followed their bosses around to eat meat. In the face of these forces, no one could resist the money power of the Adventurer Fund.

Even more, it would be more convenient to make acquisitions by leveraging the power and relationships behind these consortiums. Since the boss said so, he must have these ideas.

Joey nodded and said:

"Boss, with the Adventurer Fund joining us, I am confident that I can complete the mission!"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and threw out a record, saying:
“What do you think of this record?”

Joey recognized it at a glance. It was Madonna Ciccone, a new artist signed to Sire Records under Warner Music, and her new album "Madonna" was released in July this year.

Sales are approaching 300 million copies.

But it can't even be compared to Michael Jackson's album "Thriller," or even the latest albums by the Carpenters or the Jokers.

But for a newcomer, this achievement is not easy.

When the boss asked him what he thought of the album, he was definitely not just asking about the album. According to the boss's usual style, there was a high probability that the boss wanted to poach him.

"It's a refreshing pop dance style, with light rhythms and synthesizer sounds as gorgeous embellishments." Joey tried to organize his words.

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
“That’s called Punk-style.

Look at this free and easy short hair, one hand tightly grasping the metal chain around the neck, and the other hand wearing all kinds of leather, metal and jelly bracelets holding a slightly frowning face. This is a new trend. "

The new trends are out!
Joey nodded and said:

"That would make up for our aging band of clowns."

Debbie Harry, the lead singer of the Jokers, has almost no more works to show for herself after losing the Gaga hits provided by Wang Yuanchao. Debbie herself is not a singer-songwriter.

But with her years of accumulation and fashionable punk style, even if the new songs are of average quality, fans will buy them. She can also make a lot of money by bringing a few classic old songs on tour.

One song is enough for an artist to live on for several lifetimes, not to mention that Debbie has so many classic works.

But Debbie is old.

Debbie was born in 45 and is now 38 years old.

Madonna is only 25 years old, which is the prime of her life. Moreover, she is a singer-songwriter.

Wang Yuanchao shook his head:

“No, instead of making up for Debbie, Madonna was suited to go another route.

She could never match Debbie's punk style.

She should go for a sexy look.”

Joey blinked.

In terms of sexiness, Madonna seems to be much younger and prettier. If Debbie focuses on punk and Madonna focuses on sexiness, then they won't compete with each other in the market. After all, even if Debbie doesn't have any particularly powerful new songs, she is still an indispensable money-making machine for Muse Music.

Coupled with the MV trend started by Jackson, Debbie can easily re-accompany her previous albums with MVs and make money from fans again.

Madonna is definitely a new artist at Sire Records, and the penalty for breach of contract is definitely not a big deal for the boss. As for treatment and resources, think about it. According to the boss, Madonna is comparable to Debbie, so how can she not attract young girls?
"Understood, Boss. I will take down Madonna as quickly as possible."

Wang Yuanchao nodded.

King Jackson is already under his company, and Queen Madonna will not be far behind. Does Wang Yuanchao want them to help him make money? No matter how much money they can make, they are not as good as Wang Yuanchao who goes to the stock market and futures market to pick up money.

He is after their influence!

"By the way, give Kate a higher commission, double it. SHE is only in name only, and she is the only one holding it up. We can't let Muse's flagship singer become so poor that he can't pay his mortgage."

Although Wang Yuanchao's money came from the wind, why should he use his own money when he can use the company's money?
Joey understood that the SHE group had been hanging on because the boss's ex-wife, President Reagan's youngest daughter, had not said she would quit. For a company this big, it was a good deal to only use the SHE group to play with Patricia.

Think about it, the little princess of the largest country only wants a singing group as her toy, where can she find such a good thing?
