Pulling the female boss into the Hongyan group, I was exposed

Chapter 144 143. Regression to the Mean (Two in One)

"Excuse me, does the store sell "Encounter"?"

"Turn left ahead and it's on the second row of shelves."

"Oh, thank you."

The man pressed the hat, picked out the middle one from the neat row of Jiang Xinhai on the shelf, and threw it to the boss for checkout.

"Three dollars."

When the man was paying the bill, he glanced left and right, and seemingly intentionally or not, he walked up to the counter and asked in a low voice, "Hey, how is this monopoly going?"

"Just came back, how can you sell it?" The boss said, "You are the first."

"Oh."

A look of disappointment appeared on the man's face.

He walked out of the store with the album in his arms, and met Jiang Xinhai who was squatting on the corner of the street.

This mysterious guy is Chen Ya who is going through the exam.

"How is the sale?" Jiang Xinhai stood up with sparkling eyes, and patted the wrinkled clothes.

"It's not good." Chen Ya's voice couldn't hide the exhaustion.

"After all, it's only the first day, and it's only been a whole morning. This is still a small shop, so it's normal if it can't sell any specials."

Jiang Xinhai was so relieved.Even though she doesn't know herself.

And as soon as she finished speaking, a passerby turned around and entered the video store.

Before Chen Ya saw it, Jiang Xinhai pulled Chen Ya and said:
"Let's go, let's go to the gate of the city to have a look."

"City gate" is not the gate of the city gate. The city wall has been demolished long ago, and the gate of the city is just a place name.

This place has the largest video store in the city.

This is the museum of music, the cradle of musicians, no matter how niche and unpopular singers and bands are, no matter what albums, avant-garde and experimental, you can find them here.

Whether the album sells well or not, you still have to look here.

It's not that the two of them are bored, it's just that they have already done everything they can do, whether it's publicity or quality control, they don't care about it anymore.

And even if you want to do something, you can't do it.Chen Ya's and Jiang Xinhai's bank cards both had pitiful balances left. At this time, the two bank cards were nestled in Chen Ya's pocket, feeling sorry for each other.

So they simply disguised themselves, went to the door of the audio store to pretend to be customers, and squatted on the sales of albums.

Squatting at the gate of the city for another afternoon, they didn't see any tricks, the clerk was very vigilant, and couldn't ask a question, so the two ran to Ken's chicken next door for dinner.

Chen Ya flipped through his wallet and said, "I didn't expect that I would miss Crazy Thursday so much."

"What crazy Thursday?" Jiang Xinhai asked with a Coke straw in his mouth.

"It's nothing." Chen Ya finished flipping through his sad green and red wallet, and his face was also misty, "I can't afford to eat chicken."

In Jiang Xinhai's world view, she is still a rich woman, willing to fight chicken is also a cheap fast food, her face is indifferent.

"How much money do I have in my card?" Jiang Xinhai asked.

"Let me see."

He looked down for a while, then raised his head and said gently: "There are still 13 yuan and 8 cents."

"what?!"

Jiang Xinhai slapped the table with a "slap", and Shui Lingling's eyes widened: "Why are there so few left?"

"The utility bill was just paid yesterday." Chen Ya said, "Plus, didn't you go to buy formal clothes a few days ago?"

Jiang Xinhai said dejectedly: "It's a mistake to trust you with the money."

"It's not all my fault, is it? Who takes so long to take a bath every day? I don't even know how to use up 20 tons of water last month."

Jiang Xinhai blushed and said: "You can't blame me, the water pressure of that shower is so low! You can only wash it quickly, which only shows that you are a stinky person!"

"The smell can only be because your stinky feet step on the sofa every day, so I got your foot stink."

"My feet don't stink!"

Speaking of this, both of them felt a little indecent.Jiang Xinhai picked up the Coke and drank it dully.

Zhou Peng called. After Chen Ya connected, he said that the 20 sets of CDs in the early stage had been finished, and asked if he wanted to make the remaining 30 sets of CDs.

"Do it, why don't you do it?" Chen Ya said, "Do it quickly, the production capacity in the later stage is absolutely insufficient."

Zhou Peng said: "It's so close, the 20 sets in front have not been sold, and there are still a lot of them in the warehouse. I think, why don't we do it first? If they are not sold out, I can still spend the money." Give it back to you..."

"What's the refund? No refund. You finish the 50 sets for me, and don't miss one piece." Chen Ya gritted his teeth a little bit fiercely.

Zhou Peng faltered and said: "I feel that the sales on the first day were not very good, and there are still several channels calling to cancel..."

"It's all a conspiracy of hostile forces. The quality of the song is very good. Do it and don't stop." Chen Ya said.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinhai threw the phone on the table: "Yingzi is acting weird over there again."

"what did she say?"

"She said that some people just like to talk about sales, so this time I will use sales to prove everything...I don't want to talk about the rest, it's a bit disgusting."

Chen Ya rubbed his face and sat on the chair.The waiter next to him came over and asked if the dishes on the table were still eaten. He waved his hand and said that he would go to clean up other people's dishes first.

The light of the setting sun elongated the shadow of the street lamps, and suddenly the lights in the store were turned on at once, and the sound of horns accompanied by the aroma of freshly baked whole chickens wafted away.

All of a sudden it became very quiet.

Jiang Xinhai said: "Chen Ya, I thought about it just now."

He seemed to be in a daze, she pushed his arm and said, "Listen to me, I just thought about it, and I don't necessarily have to sing, or I don't have to stand on the stage Sing."

Her slender eyelashes fluttered twice, like a black elf: "What I like is the feeling of singing. I have been happy enough to create with you for the past three months. I am already very satisfied, and I don't need to rely on it again." Reward yourself for success."

"So, don't stress about it."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xinhai immediately said: "But, this is not what I was thinking just now."

"What I was just thinking was that I don't have to sing for everyone."

"I'm satisfied just singing for you alone."

After speaking, there was another silence.Except that Jiang Xinhai heard the blood hitting his ears.

She had never said such bold words, but seeing the expression on Chen Ya's face, she was not at all excited.

Just when she began to regret that her confession came too early, Chen Ya suddenly said:

"Xinhai, do you know that there is a mean regression theorem in the investment world?"

"Ah?" Jiang Xinhai was caught off guard, she didn't understand why she was asked this.

"Buying stocks is like walking a dog. Sometimes the dog runs ahead, and sometimes people run ahead," Chen Ya said, "Because the stock price cannot reflect the value of a company in real time."

Jiang Xinhai didn't understand what this had to do with what she said.

"But if the time is prolonged, no matter where the company's value is, its stock price will always fluctuate around the golden line that represents its own value, and all ticket prices will eventually return to that equilibrium point."

"Investment is like this, so is life. Everyone's life will have highs and lows."

"But the excitement will always come to an end, and the trough will always come out one day. The value of everything will eventually return to its original appearance."

"This time our enemies are very powerful. They have more resources, better reputation, and stronger connections. They dominate half of the music scene."

"What about next time? Our enemies may be stronger. They may have countless traffic, fanatical fans, wantonly playing with the list, and even the judges for the awards are theirs."

"Maybe one day, we'll lose to these guys."

"But not today."

"I'm not foolishly having unrealistic confidence in myself, but I believe in the axiom of mean reversion."

"And axioms don't need proof."

"Now we are indeed at a trough, so what should we do?" Chen Ya said, "Just wait. Wait for the day when the mean returns."

Chen Ya stood up and stretched out his hand: "Let's go, let's go to Zhou Peng's factory and see if he has slowed down."

Jiang Xinhai put his soft hand into Chen Ya's.

……

Jiang Xinhai and Chen Ya stayed at home for a week.

For a week, I didn't dare to receive external information.

As Chen Ya said, they can only wait for the day when the mean returns. Before the return, no matter how much they watch, they will just mess with their own mentality.

A week after the release of the new album, Music Weekly will announce the music trend list of the week.

Because it is a media that specializes in music, the statistical methods are very professional, so professional that the owner of the audio-visual store has a copy, and he enters the album according to the list above.

Whether an album is good or not, to a large extent, the first week of the list can reflect everything.

Chen Ya went out to buy a copy, and when he got home, he solemnly put the thin magazine on the coffee table.

"I declare in advance that our album is definitely at the level of a king," Chen Ya stretched out a finger before opening it, "but I have no confidence in the audience."

"The average value hasn't returned yet, right?" Jiang Xinhai was a little annoyed, "It's almost there, let's take a look."

Because she was fooled by Chen Ya's theory, she forced herself to not inquire about the sales of "Encounter" from any source for a week, and now she can't hold back in an absolute sense.

"Oh."

Chen Ya opened the magazine.

On the first page, the bold headline pops out prominently:
"Jiang Xinhai's new album has been released for a week, and the popularity trend is thrilling! "

Chen Ya quickly closed the magazine.

Jiang Xinhai held his heart and lay on the sofa gasping for breath: "I can't do it anymore, I can't take it anymore, why don't you watch it."

No matter how many theorems you believe in, your heart should be so tense at this time, it still hurts.

Sweat broke out on Chen Ya's head: "Let's not read this page, but directly look at the hot list."

He turned directly to the end-"Music Weekly" usually put the major lists on the last few pages-the two heads leaned over to look at the list at the same time.

As a result, the moment they saw the list, the bodies of the two became hot, and at the same time they were half cold.

Jiang Xinhai grabbed Chen Ya's hand with a cold hand, trembling: "What's going on?"

I saw that on the list, it was ranked like this:

Jiang Xinhai's name, as well as her profile picture next to her, were rightly and squarely at the second place on the entire list.

If that's all, the two of them are enough to jump on the spot.

However, very ominously, the person standing on Jiang Xinhai's head and pressing above her happened to be the person with a narrow road to Yuanjia—Yingzi.

"What, what does this mean?" Jiang Xinhai asked tremblingly, "Yingzi hasn't released a new album recently, right?"

Chen Ya looked at it intently for a while, and said, "Crack!"

"what happened?"

"I read the wrong list, this is the trend list of celebrity topics." Chen Ya pointed to the bold words at the top of the list and said.

This list is purely used to count the popularity of celebrities, and sometimes a big melon pops up, and it can jump to the No.1 position.

The reference value is not that high.

There are many lists in "Music Weekly", and the album sales list is the most valuable one.

Jiang Xinhai grabbed Chen Ya's arm and slapped it again: "Turn the page!"

Both of them are now being driven by the other to raise their blood pressure.

Chen Ya picked up the page with his fingers and turned it slowly.

Before opening it, he was full of emotions and had countless premonitions, both good and bad.

Jiang Xinhai's topicality is ranked second, and it is very likely that the sales of the album exceeded their expectations, which is why they are ranked so high.

But it's also possible that her performance in the first week of the album was not good, and her topicality just happened to be ranked second, and her filming was lower than that of Yingzi.

So professional but not popular—this kind of situation also happens from time to time. A band like Universal Youth Hotel won the Best Rock Newcomer Award only after it was established for almost ten years.

Chen Ya turned the page.

The words "Album Sales List" appeared in front of my eyes.

Chen Ya first set his sights on the bottom of the list, number 50, and slowly searched up.

"Panic", "Rainbow After the Rain", "Time Memory", "The Heart Is Too Soft"...

Unfamiliar and familiar names jumped in front of my eyes.

No, no, no...not this one either.

Chen Ya was worried that he would see the name of "Encounter" too early, but also worried that he would not see the name of "Encounter" in the end.

"Well!"

Jiang Xinhai next to him suddenly let out a scream like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and suddenly grabbed Chen Ya's arm, shaking it desperately.

Chen Ya was taken sideways, and then he glanced at it, and met the word "encounter" unexpectedly.

the first.

Cumulative sales of 45 copies, 45 copies were sold this week, and 45 new copies were added this week.

In addition to the cumulative sales, the other two sales all ranked first.

"Ahhhh!"

Jiang Xinhai went crazy, forgot to take off his shoes, jumped on the sofa and stomped on it, grabbed Chen Ya, and danced with him.

"First! First! First!"

Chen Ya is still a little foggy.

What is the concept of selling 45 albums in a week?
You know, as of now, in the entire music history, there are only about 50 albums that have sold more than [-] copies in a single week.

And it's worldwide.

In the Chinese music scene, sales of more than 30 in a single week can be regarded as myths.

You know, in this year, the total sales volume of the album exceeded 120 million copies, and it can be said that it has been invincible all over the world in the past 5 years.

45 albums were sold at one time, and this is on the premise that the total output is only 50 albums.

What is the concept?
This shows that in the entire Huaguo, all genuine users have basically been developed.

Even many consumers who have never heard of genuine CDs came over waving tickets.

This shows that consumers have money in their pockets and are looking for the album "Encounter" all over the street, but almost all the audio-visual stores they can find are out of stock!

There are only 5 copies of "Encounter" that can be bought nationwide, and they may still be consumed rapidly!
Those scalpers and pirated album dealers may be crazy at this time!
Every minute that passes now is throwing money into the water!

Thinking of this, Chen Ya almost suffered a cardiac arrest.

He is still conservative.

In recent years, no album has sold more than 30 copies in its first week.

In addition, he didn't have much liquidity at the time, so he only set the figure of 50.

If we had known earlier that it was selling so well, we sold 80 copies at the beginning, and maybe the sales volume now breaks the record of Huaguo's album!

"First! First! First!" Jiang Xinhai was still bouncing and screaming excitedly, and she was still screaming with the highest pitch that she could make with her god-eating voice.

"Wait a minute! Wait a moment! The situation is wrong! The situation is wrong! Don't get excited, I want to check! Is there a problem with the data!"

Standing on the sofa, Chen Ya took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Peng's number, who answered the phone almost instantly.

"Hello? Teacher Zhiji, what's the matter?"

"Have I sold all 50 albums?"

Chen Ya pressed the speakerphone, and Zhou Peng's voice came from over there: "It's all sold out? Don't you know?"

"Then why didn't you tell me?!" Chen Ya raised his voice.

"I, I thought you knew?" Zhou Peng said in a humble and aggrieved tone, "Isn't it already popular? It's being released all over the street."

"What I mean is, they're all sold out, so we should increase production capacity now!" Chen Ya said, "I'm going to make another 50 copies soon? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I, I thought that after you became popular, you would find a regular manufacturer. I didn't, I didn't dare to call you..."

Chen Ya put down the phone.

have to.

Reversion to the mean is indeed true, but people can't predict it...

　If you are free, you can turn to the last page and give [Jiang Xinhai] a little heart.

　　If you want to use the character vest to speak, you can study the character's star power and apply to be a character assistant.

　　At present, all role assistants in the operation team are vacant, and there are many positions, first come, first served.

　　There is another chapter in the evening, which will be posted later, so you can go to bed directly without waiting.
