Chapter 72: Ma Ge signed a legendary endorsement deal with Feng Huang at a sky-high price
Xiao Ma flew back to Shenzhen the same day after signing the contract.
On the Winger Game side, Zhang Xuenan arranged the endorsement matter to his assistant, and the assistant managed to get Xu Huashan's contact information.
At this time Xu Huashan was reporting work to Cao Mang.
The phone started ringing.
After all, it is inappropriate to answer the phone while reporting work to the boss.
When Xu Huashan saw the number and didn't recognize it, he immediately hung up.
I just hung up and the other party called me again.
"Take it, there might be something important." Cao Mang said.
"Who?" Xu Huashan asked after answering the phone.
"Hello, I am from the Winger Game Platform. Are you Mr. Xu?"
"What's the matter?" Xu Huashan asked in confusion.
Isn’t the other party a competitor of the boss’s company?
How could it be connected to myself?
Do you want to poach people?
It doesn't seem right. I am responsible for a media company, which is somewhat incompatible with the Internet.
"I am Zhang Kangle, secretary to the general manager of Winger Games. Our platform would like to invite the Phoenix Legend Group to represent our platform."
"Huh? Say it again?" Xu Huashan wondered if his ears heard it wrong.
"Mr. Xu, our platform would like to ask Phoenix Legend to represent our game platform."
"Oh, please wait a minute." After Xu Huashan confirmed that he heard correctly, he covered the microphone: "Boss, the Winger Game Platform wants to invite Zeng Yihe Linghua to be the spokesperson. Do you want to accept the job?"
"Take it, why don't you take it? The enemy's money is not money. As long as you can pay a high price, you can take it to death." Cao Mang replied.
Cao Mang doesn't care much about these things. As long as there are benefits in the business world, we can become good friends today.
Besides, the enemy's money is not money. The so-called bastards don't make money if they have money.
Zhang Kangle felt a little confused as to why the other party answered the call and asked him to wait.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Zhang, for keeping you waiting. I just checked the contract. We don't have any restrictions on endorsing games, so we can endorse your platform." Xu Huashan replied.
"Ah, great, I wonder how the Phoenix Legend endorsement fees are charged?"
"The current endorsement fee for Phoenix Legend is 15 million a year." Xu Huashan directly offered a sky-high price.
The current external quotation for the endorsement fee of the two is about 8 million, but the actual signing price is only about 5 million.
Phoenix Legend can be said to be the group with the fastest rising value in the industry.
All of this must be attributed to Cao Mang. If they followed the original trajectory, it would take several years for the two of them to become successful.
"Mr. Xu, are you kidding me? Isn't this price a bit high?" Zhang Kangle did some research before calling and found that the price was much higher than what he had investigated.
"Secretary Zhang, I'm not kidding you. If you think we can talk, let's talk. If you can't, forget it. Shanda is negotiating with us," Xu Huashan replied.
Xu Huashan told the truth, but the endorsement fee from Shanda was not much. He came to Cao Mang today to inquire about the endorsement of online games.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, this price exceeds the authority given to me by the president. I will contact you through internal communication."
After Zhang Kangle hung up the phone, he went to Zhang Xuenan to report the situation.
"What fifteen million?" Zhang Xuenan frowned. He was shocked by the price. The original budget was only about 5 million, but the price offered by the other party tripled it.
"Yes, Shanda is also negotiating with them for legendary endorsements," Zhang Kangle replied.
"Okay, you go out first." Zhang Xuenan said.
Zhang Xuenan had no choice but to call Brother Xiao Ma because the price was beyond his authority.
Brother Ma was also shocked when he heard the price.
"Isn't it necessary to negotiate the price?" Brother Ma asked.
"Mr. Ma, Shanda is also negotiating with the other party for game endorsements. How about we use a celebrity to come up with financial endorsements?" Zhang Xuenan replied.
"Okay, for this price, let's sign the Phoenix Legend." Xiao Ma said helplessly.
It's not that other celebrities are not good, it's just that other celebrities are not as popular as them right now. The most important thing is that they are down-to-earth.
That's right, they are down-to-earth, and celebrities who are down-to-earth are more likely to be accepted.
...
In less than half an hour, Zhang Kangle called Xu Huashan back and asked him to go to Shanghai to negotiate the contract.
"Mr. Cao, the winger has definitely signed a contract with us," Xu Huashanhui reported.
"15 million, Xiao Ma is really generous. Huashan, you are awesome." Cao Mang gave him a thumbs up and said.
"Brother Xiao Ma?" Xu Huashan asked doubtfully.
"It's okay, hurry up and get the contract." Cao Mang did not answer his doubts.
Cao Mang thought to himself, how would Xiao Ma feel if he knew that he paid a sky-high price to sign a rival artist?
[I guess some readers will complain, your media company is called Qilin Media. Could it be that Brother Ma didn’t expect it? Brother Ma is not involved in the entertainment industry. How would he know? I have predicted your prediction. You can go and search for it.
How many companies are there in different industries with the same name?]
Of the 15 million, 7.5 million goes into the company's pocket. Xu Huashan, as their agent, can get 750,000, and the rest of the money belongs to both of them.
Qilin Media has made more than 27 million yuan since signing Zeng Yi and Zeng Yi. 20 million of the income comes from album licensing fees, and the rest is some piecemeal performance fees.
The two received about 6 million in album licensing fees. Because Cao Mang composed the lyrics and music for the album, he took part of the income. This was also calculated by Xu Huashan when doing the accounting.
Xu Huashan also discussed this matter with the two of them, and the two expressed that they did not have much objection to this. After all, the contract Cao Mang gave them was already the most favorable contract in the industry.
And they are very satisfied with their current income. In less than half a year, each of them has earned more than two million, which is something they never dared to think about before.
...
After Xu Huashan left, he approached Zeng Yi and the two about the endorsement.
"What? Brother Xu, did I hear you correctly? You said you just accepted a 15 million endorsement deal for us?" After Linghua finished speaking, he started counting on his fingers.
This money was so easy to come by. After splitting it half and half with the company, she and Zeng Yi could get more than three million yuan each, and after paying taxes, they still had more than two million yuan.
"Okay, stop counting, it's embarrassing." Zeng Yi said with disdain.
"Oh, I have so much money now, I don't know how to spend it well." Linghua said with a silly smile.
"Of course, if you have money, you can buy a house. Haven't you noticed that house prices are getting more and more expensive after you have been in Shenzhen for so many years?" Zeng Yi said.
"Hey, Zeng Yi, let's go buy a house tomorrow." Linghua said with a smile.
"Huashan, why don't we go buy a house together tomorrow? Anyway, I have nothing to do recently, so I am free now." Zeng Yi turned to look at Xu Huashan and said.
"Let's buy it when I get back. I'll fly to Shanghai to sign the contract later." Xu Huashan thought about it and replied. His wife will give birth in a few months. Now she still rents a house. Does she have a child?
The house is not suitable.
In addition, the three of them are good friends, so it seems good to buy a house together and become neighbors.
