Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1509 Flaws
It was over at 10:[-] pm.

Boss Zhang and Boss Zhou were both honest men, they didn't make any excessive demands, they danced four dances, and they didn't pour alcohol on the girls, so everyone left happily.

Zhou Buqi and Xu Baihui left in a car, first went to the beauty salon to pick up Aunt Xue, and then sent Xu Baihui home. The route was well arranged.

"How much is the announcement fee for inviting them to dance tonight?"

"free."

"what?"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised.

Xu Baihui said: "It's not called an announcement, it's called entertainment. Besides, even if it's an announcement, their group won't get much money, and the brokerage company will take 80%. Jieyu Media is an important shareholder, and the two parties are strategic partners. In order to develop the domestic market, appropriate entertainment should be done."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "The girls are also working hard, so give me some subsidies."

Xu Baihui laughed and said, "Hey, Boss Zhou is distressed!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It doesn't matter whether you feel distressed or not, I just feel that you can't bully others. Paying with one hand and delivering the goods with one hand, this is business."

Xu Baihui looked at him meaningfully, "Tell me, who do you want to deliver on?"

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was taken aback.

"Stop pretending!" Xu Baihui rolled his eyes at him, "Boss Zhou, don't I know you yet?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Nothing, I'm not very interested in plastic surgery."

Xu Baihui didn't take it seriously, "What's the matter with the plastic surgery? It's not made by ugly people. She is a beautiful woman, and they are all minor adjustments. They are not like Thai ladyboys who have undergone major changes."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Forget it, I've been too busy recently, Chaowan Commune asked me to go to a meeting to help arrange the globalization strategy."

The corner of Xu Baihui's mouth twitched, "Is Chaowan Commune going to be internationalized?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "What's this called? It was originally intended for overseas markets, and it hasn't been sold in China yet. The two films "Red Cliff" have a bad reputation in China, so they can't sell blind boxes based on the popularity. I guess In a few months, the first blind box will be launched in China, the blind box figures of Manchester United players."

Xu Baihui was very surprised, "How difficult is internationalization, why is it so easy for you? How strange!"

"It's easy, Ziwei Star International is still in bankruptcy crisis at any time now, and cloud computing is a black hole, absorbing too much cash flow. If it weren't for the good promotion of Helo on the mobile phone, the financing would be relatively smooth, and it might be in big trouble. "

"What is Chaowan Commune going to do? Spread it all over the world like Ziweixing?"

"No, this model is too risky, let's take it slowly and find a middleman to sell it on behalf of others."

Zhou Buqi was very helpless.

The concept of the Internet is very repulsive to middlemen, but there is no way. The strength of Chaowan company is limited, and it is impossible to personally participate in every market, and the operating pressure will be too great.

It's better to entrust a big company to help sell it on a consignment basis.

Earning a little less is better than being safe.

After a while, when they arrived at the beauty salon, Zhou Buqi leaned in and let Aunt Xue get into the car.She went to the beauty salon to check the accounts, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The manager of the beauty salon was arranged by Shi Jinglin, and she would often send people over to check the posts and check the accounts.

According to Zhou Buqi's intention, this beauty salon might as well just give it away, and it won't make much money, so give it to Jiang Bingjie and Li Xinwan to make them happy.The father of the funder can't be too partial. Miss Yang Mi has become the chairman of Farfetch China, so I can't favor one over another.

However, Aunt Xue is still thinking about it, and regards this as her own career.

After getting in the car, Aunt Xue was very happy.

It looks like business is going well.

Xu Baihui said with a smile: "I have recommended all the female stars who cooperate with Jieyu Media, and it is not surprising that the business is better. Last night, I brought Girls' Generation over to experience it!"

"Girls' Generation?" Zhou Buqi was very curious, "What project are they doing?"

Xu Baihui said: "Beauty, what else can it be?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, "Aside from beauty treatments, the beauty parlor can also beautify the body, such as breast augmentation, removing scars, abdominal scars, lowering fat, etc..."

Aunt Xue understood it as soon as she heard it, and said contemptuously: "Well, there is also hair removal."

Xu Baihui shook her head lightly, "Then I don't know. Anyway, including the manager yesterday, there were 10 people in total, and they cost more than 3 yuan. I paid for them. Then I brought them out to dance for you tonight."

"I'll go!" Zhou Buqi couldn't help but laugh, "You really know how to do business!"

Xu Baihui looked at him with complicated eyes, "Boss Zhou, why do I feel that you are evil...do you have a heroic heart?"

"What?"

"Low dress! Girls' Generation!"

"Nothing."

Zhou Buqi sat upright, looking like a gentleman.

"Really no need?" Xu Baihui stared at him with burning eyes, "They will return to China in a few days. I missed this opportunity and will arrange it later when I go to the country. How can the arrangements in China be proper?"

This is also true, as Zhou Buqi, even if someone is killed, he can be safe in the country, but this obviously underestimates his personality, Zhou Buqi said seriously: "What a mess, I am a law-abiding citizen. "

"Really not?"

"No."

"Okay then." Xu Baihui shrugged, and muttered to herself in a low voice: "I thought I was wrong! What a surprise!"

After a while, they arrived at Xu Baihui's home, which was a high-end high-rise apartment.

Just as he was about to open the door and get off the car, Zhou Buqi called her out suddenly, coughed lightly and said, "Well... Baihui, if you really want to arrange it, then you can just make arrangements."

"what!"

Xu Baihui almost burst out laughing, Boss Zhou still missed something!
Zhou Buqi looked serious, "That's what I'm thinking about. This is the capital, we are the hosts, and they are the guests. I can't be too indifferent. I should treat them warmly."

Xu Baihui twirled the broken hair around her ears, "Okay, who are you looking at?"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Look at the arrangement! I can do it!"

Xu Baihui said: "I don't know who you like? You can't have nine together, can you bear it?"

"You don't need to arrange everything, just break a few places. You can't chew too much..." Zhou Buqi suffered from pain in his waist and was pinched twice by Aunt Xue, so he hurriedly said, "The capital is a beautiful international city. , always leave some good impressions on them.”

Xu Baihui said speechlessly: "Boss Zhou, are you crazy? How can there be so many perfect girls? They have all debuted for two years!"

Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "What's wrong with their debut? Didn't you say that this kind of idol group is banned from dating by the agency?"

Xu Baihui slapped her forehead, "Boss Zhou, that's all deceitful. It's the entertainment industry, it's the Korean entertainment industry! Besides, several girls are in their twenties, can they not secretly fall in love in private?"

Zhou Buqi lost interest, "What kind of Girls' Generation is that? It's all become Young Women's Generation, forget it! It's boring!"

Xu Baihui waved her white and tender hands, "I'll go back and ask, there are a few girls who seem to be quite young, maybe they have a chance."

……

The next day, Zhou Buqi went to Chaowan Commune.

The main departments of Chaowan Commune have all moved to Shanghai, which is the Yangtze River Delta, closer to the toy factory, which is convenient for supervision and management, and also convenient for international business development.

The capital side is mainly the design department.

Shi Jingmei and her two assistants rushed over from Shanghai to listen to Boss Zhou's instructions.

List the scores first.

Very gratifying.

Because Manchester United's player blind box has been popular, many Premier League giants have also sent cooperation applications, including Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Liverpool, among which Liverpool is the most eager.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Liverpool? That's the sworn enemy!"

Shi Jingmei is obviously better than Wu Yu, and she has done more in-depth market research. She said: "Manchester United's blind box is popular, largely because of its geographical advantages. Manchester has nothing, and the largest cultural and entertainment center is Manchester United. Therefore, Manchester United fans are the most loyal and have the strongest spending power. There are too many entertainment projects in London. It is a dazzling international metropolis. Local fans spend their money on other entertainment projects, and there is no Manchester United. 'monopoly'."

Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Buqi held Wu Yu's little hand and said with a smile, "It's not a big problem. Football culture is deeply rooted in the UK. There are many derivative products of football and the audience is very wide."

"But football star cards are not popular!" This is what Shi Jingmei is most worried about. "The model of player blind boxes is similar to that of star cards."

The mode of the star card is also a blind draw.

Players buy a box of cards and don't know what's inside. After opening it, if they are lucky, there may be a signed card of a star.If luck is bad, they are all unknown players.

The star card industry is relatively popular in the United States, and it can be played well, but the current European football is still a partial business, and the audience is very small.

The success of Manchester United's player blind box must have its geographical monopoly advantage. In Manchester, Manchester United is the biggest entertainment consumer. Of course, the fans are enthusiastic.

After going to big cities like London, Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Milan, and Paris, football consumption does not have the monopoly advantage of Manchester.

What if the player's blind box encounters the same market cold reception as a star card, and Chaowan Commune has signed long-term contracts with many teams as he said before, and has to pay a sponsorship fee every year... Then it will be a disaster!

Shi Jingmei said: "The best model is the split model."

Zhou Buqi said: "No way, the sharing model is not competitive. There is no threshold for the blind box business. What if a blind box company appears at this time and jumps out to sign long-term contracts with major teams and promises a fixed sponsorship fee?" What should we do? Isn’t Chaowan Commune out of the game? Can’t leave such a loophole.”

Shi Jingmei said worriedly: "But the risk is very high."

"Is it big?" Zhou Buqi doesn't think so, "Europe is not the same as the United States. Americans treat the United States as a purely capitalist society. Star cards, a product that is purely hyped and lacks practical significance, logically go to Europe. No way. The only value of the star card is the collection value. In addition to the collection value of the blind box, the figure inside is actually a toy, which has functional significance and is more likely to be liked by children.”
