"Thank you." Song Ya has no sense of guilt.
"Second-hand stores ranked eleventh on the Bulletin Board Week in the first week, seventh in the second week, and dropped a little in the third week, ninth..."
Hayden is here for business. "If nothing else, the sales of singles will start to decline slowly. SBK has made up a round of goods. According to their calculations, the actual sales have exceeded one million. The specific number is still Did not come out."
"It seems that we chose SBK is a very correct decision." Song Ya has been thinking about this income for a long time.
"Yeah." Hayden is also very excited. With Song Ya's rise, his income and position in William Morris have also risen sharply. "In addition to this part of income, BMI's money will also be paid regularly in the future. In addition, your second song is about to be released, so you have to be careful about finances. You have to get an accountant to help you quickly."
For all profit-oriented radio stations, shopping malls, bars, restaurants and other occasions, BMI will regularly broadcast members’ songs, and then charge by the number of times. The cost of one time is very, very low, but the long stream of water is also considered objective. As long as there is copyright, The money will be collected continuously. In addition, if the song is used in the soundtrack of a movie, a lot of usage fees can be negotiated.
"Accountant?" Song Ya touched his chin.
"We, William Morris, have a cooperative relationship with many reputable accounting firms, here in Chicago..." Hayden started Amway.
"emmmm..." Song Ya didn't intend to use Hayden's close relationship. He didn't want to be fooled by the cooperation of agents and accountants in the future, "They are expensive, right?"
"Of course, but the charge is proportional to the service." Hayden replied.
"Let me think about it again, what happened to the school? I just want to move out of Nancheng as soon as possible..." Song Ya changed the subject.
"It's still early to start school. According to your future income, you can properly increase your budget. It's better to take private high schools into consideration. This will make the selection much quicker." Every time Hayden talked about the school, Hayden was full of bags. Song Ya's budget and requirements are really hard to find.
"Alright..." Song Ya reported another number.
Hayden left, Song Ya took the time to find Goodman.
I haven't seen it for a while. Goodman's law firm has also expanded in scale. He sublet the house opposite the original office, which is much more spacious and has a clerk.
"Accountant?" Goodman thought about it. "If you think big firms are expensive, there are many small firms in Chicago, and some even have only one accountant. They mainly serve the oldmoney class. It’s the family tradition that has worked together for generations. The history and credibility are actually not worse than those of large firms. However, there is a mixed bag and there is a possibility of being deceived. Large firms have no such doubts."
"Do you have any introduction?" Song Ya asked him.
"By the way, you have Chinese ancestry, right!?" Goodman suddenly had an idea, "Chinese people are good at mathematics. Many people do this business, and their reputation is much better than other ethnic groups. And they are relatively silent, social relations It’s not as complicated as that of the Jews...but there are also shortcomings. Many people in China Street are involved in Chinese gangs, and their financial management concepts are sometimes conservative, and sometimes they are extremely gambling."
Song Ya was moved. With Goodman’s help, he interviewed some Chinese accountants and selected a family named Song, Song Asheng, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com in his 50s, no bad record, long-term service From a local Chinese family, he has a very good reputation. He is still a Ningbo native and can communicate with Song Ya in Mandarin.
It didn't take long for Song Asheng to negotiate the contract, and Song Ya and Daniel's gambling income was paid.
Because vinyl records are more expensive than cassettes, 3% of the sales of the first one million singles brought Song Ya a nod of about $200,000, excluding Hayden’s%. Shihe Song Asheng's compensation just happened to be worth 180,000 dollars.
"Next, I will urge them more for the 10% of my first royalties on the SBK side." After everything was done, Song Yamei instructed.
"I know, the boss can rest assured."
Song Asheng was thin, with a pair of rare monocles firmly tucked in one eye frame. He put away the papers, "What's more, boss."
Song Ya was called comfortably by the boss with a Ningbo accent, "A friend suggested that I register an audio company. The main purpose is to manage the audio copyrights of some of my inventions. What suggestions do you have?"
This suggestion was given by Dile. He saw Song Ya trying to develop a new synthesizer audio, so he said that he must first get the copyright in his hands.
"Why not register for a company of this nature as well as in Delaware. Taxation, legal affairs, and all aspects are pretty good..." Song Asheng suggested.
Song Ya chooses to trust professionals, "Okay, you can handle it. Registration should be done as soon as possible. I am a minor. If there are any documents authorized by the guardian, please prepare and hand it to me."
"The company name?" Song Asheng asked.
"Hmm..." Song Ya thought about the meeting, "Just use my nickname APLUS, A+, what do you think?"
"Good, good, good name." Song Asheng nodded frequently.

Inventing or discovering a new synthetic sound is not a simple matter. First of all, it is difficult for Song Ya to accurately describe the sound in his mind to Dilai, and then it is even more difficult to simulate it with a combination of musical instruments or electronic devices. Dilai is excellent Keyboard player, but the ability in this area is still not enough, Song Ya's financial resources can not support the industry, so the progress is very slow. Because Song Ya doesn't want to be distracted at this stage, the new company can only temporarily keep it empty and wait for the future.
The rehearsal of the new song went smoothly, and people began to visit Lao Qiao Music one after another.
The first public relations staff from SBK came here. They brought Mila and the band to some bars in Chicago and performed some unplugged shows. After getting good feedback, they began to prepare for the follow-up promotion. Swearing songs are hard to be elegant. In this era when society is still very conservative, various serious awards can be judged without changing the lyrics. If they are broadcast on MTV and other big media, they must be silenced. According to the proportion of the swearing of FXXXYOU, The silenced complete song would be incomplete, not as good as that. They decided to maintain the previous strategy, focusing on some equal rights rallies and music festivals, and take the road of word-of-mouth fermentation.
Dr. Michelle also brought people to evaluate several times. The last time she brought in the Chicago Police Chief and two respected Baptist pastors from affirmative organizations. Soon after, there was a large-scale protest against the South African race in Grant Park. In the isolated rally, Mira will perform the song on stage for the first time on a formal occasion. They need to evaluate the impact of this song in advance. First, it should not be too inflammatory to avoid stimulating large-scale gatherings. Second, the criticism of De Klerk should not be too fierce. After all, everyone is counting on the white South African. The president.
