Integrate will return with their first mini album "Girls" on December 15th.

The title song's title is the album's title, which is quite convenient.

"The first day's data is out, are you satisfied?"

Bae Joo-hyun, who was actively preparing for her comeback, was concerned about the data this time and came over to chat with Chen Chen.

"How could I possibly be dissatisfied?" Chen Chen laughed foolishly while lying on the sofa. "The first day's sales were more than twice Lee Ji-eun's highest record. If I'm still dissatisfied, I'd better just die."

"That's more than the records of the two IU seniors." Bae Joo Hyun counted on her fingers, "Wow, isn't that close to 300,000?!"

"Yeah, a little over 270,000, a little bit away from 300,000 but not too far." Chen Chen's smile was harder to suppress than AK, "Who would have thought that the Chinese market is so powerful? It's too exaggerated. If they are given a chance, they will really buy it!"

In fact, Chen Chen can still understand the mainland market to some extent. When the album took one or two months to reach them, they could still sell hundreds of thousands of copies. Now that it can be delivered in three days through Black Cat, won’t they be buying like crazy? !

"The girls have really done a great job and have reached the level of a top girl group in all aspects in their first comeback since their debut." Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but sigh, "It took us a long, long time to get to this point."

"Didn't it arrive after Jin Yeli joined?" Chen Chen calculated the time. "More than half a year, not that long. After all, the groups produced by the three major productions have been at the top of the second-tier since their birth."

"Yeah." Pei Zhuxuan nodded, "Theoretically, that's the case."

"What do you mean?" Chen Chen immediately became interested. He put down the information in his hand and put his girlfriend in his arms. "Is there any actual explanation?"

"In fact, people prefer to say that the first time you mentioned Red Velvet was when it was a five-member girl group." Bae Joo-hyun nudged her boyfriend's chin with her head, "It adds a little more legend to your legendary resume, and it also allows us to get a little bit of it."

"That's fine too."

Chen Chen was speechless, but then he felt it made sense.

There is no need to explain how much the fans want their idols to get close to big shots. It can be said that they are very humble to beautify the matter into this way when facing Chen Chen, a real big shot in the circle with whom they have a good relationship.

"It's okay. You already have your own girl group, so pay more attention to them and don't keep staring at us." Pei Zhuxuan reminded him, "I think there seems to be some problem with the sound source. We haven't been able to get first place."

"Who can beat IU's Lan Xiaoming at this moment? Forget about the first place." Chen Chen said nonchalantly, "Second place in the sound source is also acceptable. It won't affect the first place anyway."

"In fact, the sound source of this comeback was not the strong point to begin with. I was prepared for not being in the top three."

"Considering that the friction with KakaoM has affected Melon, I've even prepared for the possibility that my music source won't make it into the top five." Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh. "I can only say that Melon is a person who is easy to get along with and has a good moral character."

"Melon still has competitors, so we dare not let our guard down." Pei Zhuxuan said seriously: "Think about it, if your peers are eyeing your position as the number one in the industry every day, would you dare not be careful about what you say and do?"

"That's true."

After Chen Chen responded to this, his thoughts unconsciously drifted away.

"What are you thinking about?" Bae Joo Hyun held down her boyfriend's hand that was constantly moving on her belly. "Do you need to use your hands to think about things? It's so rude!" "Thinking about the love-hate relationship between me and KakaoM. If you want to be the best in the industry, don't you have to surpass him?"

Chen Chen stopped and held Bae Joo Hyun on his lap.

"What's going on here?"

Bae Joo-hyun became even more cautious because this man had already started touching her from the hips.

"On the one hand, he is hostile to KakaoM, but on the other hand, he is very close to his brother Dreamus. He is a high-quality downline who is very willing to dump orders." Chen Chen almost laughed out loud just thinking about it. "I wonder what expressions these two brothers will have when they sit at the same table and talk about me during the New Year's meeting."

"What other expression could he have? If they can sit at the same table, they must be complaining about you. Are they praising you?" Bae Joo Hyun pressed her boyfriend's hand tightly on her thigh. "Instead of worrying about this, you should worry about how your C headquarters' annual meeting will be held. It has been two full years since its establishment. You can't just skip the annual meeting forever."

"Yes." Chen Chen was in no mood to touch his legs after hearing this question. "This year, the C headquarters has made a particularly great achievement. It's time to share some benefits with the employees at the annual meeting."

"Forget it, just give money directly!" In just five seconds, Chen Chen returned to his cool and carefree look, "It's better to give a huge sum of money than to ask about your well-being. No matter how nice the words are, they are not as good as a red envelope. This year, just give money lavishly!"

"Do you have any more money to spend?" Pei Zhuxuan looked at Chen Chen, "Isn't C headquarters going to spend a lot of money to invest in movies? It seems that the scale is almost the same as our own production."

"No, who is your source of information?!" Chen Chen reacted strongly and slapped Pei Zhuxuan on the butt. "Why do you know this kind of core insider information? Is this something you, a homegirl who only occasionally surfs the Internet, should know?!"

"It hurts!" Pei Zhuxuan pinched Chen Chen's arm twice in pain, "Don't worry about who my information source is, just worry about your money!"

"Don't worry about the money. Headquarters C didn't spend much this year." Chen Chen maliciously tried to rub his girlfriend's sore buttocks. After being rejected, he said seriously, "In your impression, what did Headquarters C spend money on?"

First of all, the biggest expense of C headquarters this year was the acquisition of Starship and the investment in the tug-of-war with KakaoM, which is a big amount.

But C headquarters appeared to be quite at ease. It can only be said that this large amount of money is definitely not all the income of C headquarters.

The movies I invested in all paid back and received dividends, not to mention the TV series I invested in, which were extremely popular, and later JTBC took over two of them, spending even less money.
The variety shows are also outsourced to others, and I just maintain the original few
As she was calculating, Bae Joo-hyun suddenly discovered that, apart from the money spent on the starship, the largest expenditure of C Headquarters this year was the launch of Integrate.

With the terrifying earning power of C headquarters, if they only spent this little money
"What do you want to do with all this money?"

Bae Joo-hyun suddenly felt that she didn't understand her dear boyfriend.

"Of course I'll use it for the right things." Chen Chen winked at her, "Save money and be ready to eat the cube at any time."

It is true that eating up the cubes is a long-term strategy, but the real insurance is to have funds in your hand that you can eat up in one bite at all times.

It is a loss to keep the money in your hand, but there are many things that are more loss-making than saving money, and they are everywhere out there.
