Chapter 39 - [39] Rampant Piracy

An assistant on the co-pilot looked at the towering hotel building in front of him and said, "Mr. Liu, the relationship between Du Yimeng and Naye Shao is unusual. He invited us here for dinner today to make Du Yimeng Did you successfully advance in the "The Voice of China" competition?"

In this society, it is not uncommon for rich people to raise a few celebrities. Ye Xuan is worth a lot of money, and Du Yimeng is good-looking. In order to make Du Yimeng famous, it is normal to spend tens of millions to buy a mentor.

The assistant who drove the car shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't think things are that simple. Didn't Young Master Ye say that he wanted to talk about cooperation? It should be because he wants to ask Mr. Liu to be his image spokesperson!"

"Don't make random guesses. If you come, you can rest assured. Let's see what Young Master Ye has in mind later!"

After the car stopped, Ye Xuan took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to secretary Ning Nanshi, asking her to arrange a VIP box on the top floor of Geman Hotel.

After Liu Huan and his two assistants got out of the car, Ye Xuan opened the door...

After entering the hotel gate, Ye Xuan led a group of people straight to the elevator entrance. After reaching the top floor, the elevator door opened slowly, and a very gentlemanly middle-aged man in a suit hurried up to greet him.

"Chairman, the box is ready for you!"

The top floor of this hotel is the viewing restaurant. Although the area is not small, there are only ten boxes in total.

And if you want to eat here, you must make a reservation three days in advance, and the box fee alone will start at 100,000.

In the huge restaurant, apart from the middle-aged man at the elevator entrance, there are five chefs wearing tall hats standing by the dining car not far away. Ye Xuan looked around, nodded slightly, and followed the middle-aged man Walked towards the box with the best location.

Pushing open the door of the private room, Liu Huan and his two assistants couldn't help being stunned for a moment, Du Yimeng even opened his mouth in surprise, only Ye Xuan was still calm, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although there is no decoration in this box, the three walls are replaced with tempered glass, and the top and bottom of the head are also transparent. Eating here is like sitting on the clouds, and the scenery of the entire Jiangdu city center can be seen at a glance.

After everyone was seated, the middle-aged man politely handed everyone a menu and took two or three minutes to order, then Ye Xuan ordered: "You can leave after the dishes are ready, the restaurant on the top floor is not open today. It is open for business, and no one is allowed to come up!"

The middle-aged man shook his body and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The wine is good wine, the best wine for 20 years, and the food is not bad, at the level of three-star Michelin.

After the door of the private room was closed, Liu Huan, who was sitting opposite Ye Xuan, seemed a little nervous, and said with a dry smile: "Mr. Ye, what kind of cooperation do you want to talk about, let's get straight to the point, otherwise I won't be able to eat this meal comfortably! "

Ye Xuan smiled and didn't answer, but just glanced at the assistants sitting on the left and right sides of Liu Huan.

Liu Huan is also a smart person. He immediately understood what Ye Xuan meant, and assured him firmly: "Mr. Ye, don't worry, the two of them have been with me for more than ten years, and they are absolutely trustworthy!"

"Well, what I want to talk to Mr. Liu about is... the copyright issue of original songs!" Ye Xuan took a sip of red wine shallowly, and said very directly.

Liu Huan was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Ye Xuan's words, he frowned and replied, "Which song is the copyright Mr. Ye is talking about?"

"Copyright for all songs!"

Liu Huan took a deep breath, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "Nowadays, musicians who are really engaged in creation are not as good as those big stars who often appear on camera...Piracy is rampant in the market, and musicians have worked hard for months to create The songs were pirated and downloaded, and all music platforms never thought of buying copyright from us, they are all pirated, very rampant!"

Liu Huan began to create since he was a teenager, and he knew the hard work of musicians. He sighed and raised his head to finish the drink in his glass, his face full of helplessness.

A musician's album contains more than ten songs, which may have been created by him after a year or two of hard work, and it only sells for more than thirty or fifty yuan!

However, there are too many piracy in the market, and the online music platforms are all piracy, which indirectly fuels the arrogance of the pirates. What is hard for those original musicians is that the money they earn from an album is not even as good as those big stars making an album. television pay.

Ye Xuan: "That's why I came to Mr. Liu to use your influence to contact those original musicians, buy their song copyrights, and even help them defend their rights!"

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Liu Huan's right hand, which was about to raise his glass, trembled unconsciously, his eyes flickered with disbelief, and the whole box became quiet for a while.

"There are too many pirated copies in the market, Mr. Ye is doing business like this... Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

After a long while, Liu Huan came back to his senses, stared at Ye Xuan with a serious face and asked.

How many songs are there on the market? How much does a song cost? As the saying goes, there is no business without evil, what exactly is Ye Xuan going to do when he acquires so many copyrights?

These are all doubts in Liu Huan's heart!

But Ye Xuan's words of 'helping original singers to defend their rights' completely touched Liu Huan's heart.
