In last year's "American Rich Ranking", it can even be ranked in the top three.

But looking around the world, is there really a lot of wealth of 4 billion US dollars?

Not to mention various consortiums, just families like Rocoffeller, MG, and Rothschild can beat him up on the wealth!

He really doesn't think it's too much.

The reason why Ye Zhiming was asked to stay was because Qin Fan had something to explain.

"How is the record of the record company's first record?" he asked.

Speaking of work, Ye Zhiming quickly cheered up and responded:

"The preliminary preparations have been completed, and the sample can be released today. If there is no problem, you can send it to the factory for filling tomorrow!"

"By the way! Boss." Ye Zhiming asked: "How much do you plan to sell the first record in our company?"

Qin Fan did not answer directly, but asked: "How much does Hong Kong singers sell for?"

"It depends on whose record it is and the quality of the record. If it is a single EP, it will be cheaper. If it is an album, it will be more expensive."

"The album "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" released by the big singer Asam last year has 11 songs and is presented with exquisite posters, and is available for HK$168! It is the most expensive record sold in Hong Kong Island in history!"

"Even if it is so expensive, this record still sells five platinum in a year, which has completely forged Asam's position in the music industry."

Asam is Xu Shijie.

Before Tan Zhang's competition started, he was the undisputed number one singer in the Hong Kong music scene, and he was the number one singer in both popularity and record sales.

As for five platinum, it refers to 5 platinum records.

This is the record sales standard set by Hong Kong IFPI.

IFPI is the English abbreviation of the International Recording Industry Association. The Hong Kong IFPI Recording Association was established in 1967 and began the Hong Kong Island Golden Record Awards Ceremony in 1977.

The predecessor of the IFPI record sales award is the Hong Kong Island Golden Record Award.

The IFPI Records Association conducts accurate statistics on local record sales, and the only criterion for winning records is sales this year.

Therefore, since its implementation, it has been recognized as the most credible award.

It is an important criterion for measuring the popularity of a singer. There is a saying that if you don’t win the Golden Record Award, don’t consider holding a concert. If you don’t win the Platinum Record Award, don’t expect to hold a concert in the Red Hall.

In Hong Kong Island, Golden Records is based on annual sales of 25,000, while Platinum Records is based on 50,000.

If the sales volume exceeds 100,000, it will be considered two pieces of platinum, and so on.

5 platinum pieces mean selling 250,000 records.

This means that the sales of Xu Guanjie's record of last year alone exceeded HK$40 million, and the record company's profit was at least 20 million, and Xu Guanjie himself could make six or seven million.

From this perspective, selling records is still very profitable.

However, Qin Fan actually paid more attention to the overseas market.

Xu Guanjie's record sold for 250,000 copies, which was actually 5 platinum. Akira Nakamori's album sold for nearly 3 million copies, and the sales volume of her record in Neon is 11 platinum.

Because of the major music markets and countries, the definition standards for platinum records are different.

The United States, the world's largest market, has a standard for gold records of 500,000, and a standard for platinum records of 1 million.

On the platinum record, there is also a diamond record with a certification standard of 10 million copies.

On Neon, the certification standard for Gold Records is 100,000, and the certification standard for Platinum Records is 250,000.

In other words, 1 platinum record from Neon is equivalent to 5 platinum records from Hong Kong Island.

Compared with these two markets, Hong Kong Island seems very stingy.

But in fact, there is another record market that looks even more stingy - Wanwan Island.

Wanwan Island only has 30,000 platinum records certification standards, and sales of 10,000 are gold.

So compared with Wanwan, it is actually quite generous to arrive. After all, the current population of Hong Kong Island is only 4.83 million. Wanwan's total population has already exceeded 20 million.

"How do you think my album compares with that of Xu Guanjie last year's album~?" Qin Fan simply asked.

Ye Zhiming thought about it and said honestly: "Although I have worked in the record industry before, I also like to listen to music. I personally think that in terms of quality and singing, your boss, your works are better and better."

"But." Ye Zhiming continued, "In terms of singing, boss, your popularity and fame are still not as good as Xu Guanjie. He is now the No. 1 singer in Hong Kong. Even if you hum a few times, you can easily sell platinum."

"The brand effect, and Asam is also the pioneer of Cantonese songs, where is his status?" Qin Fan expressed his understanding.

Before the 1970s, 2/3 of the Hong Kong music scene was the world of foreign language songs, and the remaining 1/3 of the world of Mandarin songs.

On the contrary, it was the Cantonese language that touched me. In the literary works at that time, only Cantonese opera could be used.

Even in film works of those eras, actors had to dubbed in Mandarin instead of Cantonese.

This situation was finally changed after Xu Guanjie became famous, and the album "Half-Take" was released and several consecutive Cantonese movies of the Xu brothers.

After that, Cantonese gradually looked forward to foreign languages ​​and Mandarin, and officially became the preferred language for Hong Kong literary and artistic works.

With such an existence, Xu Guanjie has a very high historical status in the Hong Kong music scene.

After thinking about it, Qin Fan directly priced his album:

"Although Asam is really amazing, I am not bad either. He can sell 168, so I can sell 168 too!"

"Well, will it be a little taller?" Ye Zhiming couldn't help but say.

Although the boss sang well and wrote well, his first album was so expensive, and Ye Zhiming was worried that he would be very popular.

"Ha! The richest man in Hong Kong sings to you. How much do you think it should be spent?" Qin Fan asked.

"Well, this."

No matter how much you spend, you can't hear it.

Qin Fan said: "Tell me this way. The newspapers on Neon are actually something I can let them leak. I am creating momentum and I am doing marketing."

When Ye Zhiming heard this "insider", he immediately widened his eyes.

"Daqin store, Daqin entertainment movies, and Daqin record albums, these three things will be launched one after another from October to November. How can they be popular? My plan is to make Hong Kong people curious about them because of me, and eventually be attracted by their quality and become fans!"

"Imagine the album sings by the richest man in Hong Kong, and the movies made by the richest man in Hong Kong as a director. How many people will be interested? How many people will be willing to pay for it, listen to it and take a look?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhiming already understood Qin Fan’s intention.

"Hyphish! Boss, you want to hype! Through hype, you can achieve marketing results! Hiss is such a big deal!" Ye Zhiming said excitedly.

Qin Fan nodded and looked at Ye Zhiming with a smile.

His approach is actually the most frequently used character designs by celebrities in the entertainment industry in later generations.

For example, foodies, game girls, Warcraft team leader, etc.

It’s just that Qin Fanli’s character is too much, but real is too much.

"There is the signboard of the richest man. In addition, I am very confident in the quality of the work itself, so the price is a little higher, so I don't have to worry about not being able to sell it."

Qin Fan said: "Just this price. In addition, for yachts, you have to urge them. Don't send people to Europe, just let the manufacturers there come to Hong Kong Island."

Ye Zhiming scratched his head and said, "It's probably a bit difficult. Those European guys are very arrogant. They make us go buy yachts, as if we are begging them."

"Hahaha." Qin Fan said: "Buying one or two yachts may be like this. But if they knew that the yacht I was going to buy was a superyacht with a cost of more than 200 million US dollars, would they think they would come?"

"They will definitely throw away all the so-called arrogance! As soon as possible, they must swim to Xiangjiang!"

Ye Zhiming said in surprise: "200 million US dollars yacht? Boss, are you really going to buy such an exaggerated yacht? As far as I know, the most expensive yacht in the world today is the Desert Camel Country, a prince's super luxury yacht. However, the prince's yacht is only 130 million US dollars."

It is different from the emergence of luxury yachts that cost hundreds of millions of US dollars and hundreds of millions of euros in later generations.

In this era, it has not been long since the desert camel country has become a big dog owner, and it has not yet begun to show off its wealth-style enjoyment.

At this time, the yachts were more luxurious only tens of millions of dollars.

There are only two or three yachts in the world with a unit of 100 million US dollars.

Qin Fan is now going to build a yacht worth 200 million US dollars, and if it breaks out, it will definitely become hot news.

"The premise is that those European manufacturers can meet my requirements and build such a yacht. It's only 200 million US dollars, I can still take it out." Qin Fan affirmed.

Ye Zhiming is very active.

"I'll inform them immediately. I believe that those manufacturers will definitely fly to Xiangjiang with the fastest speed!"

Qin Fan shrugged.

After talking about the yacht, Qin Fan asked Ye Zhiming to leave to work.

He was the only one left in the office.

He walked to the not-so-large floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the east of Queen's Avenue below, with traffic on the road.

The Jinlibao building was built for a long time and used technology earlier, and not much money was invested at that time.

So although it is 28 stories high, it is actually very ordinary in terms of appearance and interior decoration.

Qin Fan, who was used to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of office buildings in later generations, disliked this very little.

The design of this building is too ordinary and the decoration is so ordinary that it is infamous in the CBD area of ​​Central, where every inch of land is valuable.

As the group company continues to grow, more and more employees are. Qin Fan already has plans to build or buy a larger office building.
