"Three hundred thousand in three hours, do you have anything to say?"

Chen Chen showed Park Jin-young the report sent by Black Cat on his mobile phone.

"The current outburst doesn't mean there won't be a follow-up, it doesn't prove anything." Park Jin-young was obviously trying hard to hold back his laughter, but in the end he couldn't hold it back completely, "Haha, but no matter what, it's still a good start. Let's not stay in the cafeteria, I'll treat you to a good meal today!"

"No, I've been in the cafeteria for two hours, and I'm full of smells." Chen Chen stood up and said goodbye, "I'm going home. I'm too tired to sit there, I want to lie down."

"Come on, we still have something to talk about."

Park Jin-young grabbed him and wouldn't let him leave.

"What? Aren't we just going to look at the data today?" Chen Chen was a little confused.

"Boss Chen, you won't forget what the ultimate purpose of looking at the data is." Park Jin-young said eagerly, "If the data is good enough, we should discuss having other idol groups join the Black Cat Distributor."

"It has nothing to do with the black cat." Chen Chen reiterated, "It is my C headquarters that has something to do with the black cat. You just boarded my ship."

"Essentially, they are not much different." Park Jin-young waved his hand casually. "Now that we know that the new distribution channel can lower costs and earn more, and its sales ability is not inferior to others, it is time for Soy Sauce Bottle to consider changing ships."

"But didn't Jiangyouping just sign a contract with Dreamus in January this year? Aren't you afraid of trouble from SK Telecom if you leave now?" Chen Chen asked with a smile.

"Do other top chaebols really care about this little money in the entertainment industry?" Park Jin-young looked at Chen Chen with dissatisfaction, "Even if you want to scare me, there is no need to scare me with this, you actually brought up SKT directly!"

"And it seems like you had some issues with your positioning of the black cat."

"You are not competing directly with record companies and distributors. You are using your advantageous resources to do business with them! If your channel is really stable and cheap, they would like to directly give you the orders so that they can make more money."

"You even control the Chinese market, which they don't have." Park Jin-young concluded, "You have gone further than them in the path of being a publisher."

"Yes, I did go further, but there is a very important premise here." Chen Chen sat down slowly and spoke slowly, "I have to stay alive first. If C headquarters can't survive, all of this is fake."

"But the reality is, the bigger I get, the more dangerous it becomes."

"Now it's a peaceful time. Dreamus, KakaoM and CJ are all willing to give me orders. What about the future?"

"Will entertainment companies including Soy Sauce Bottle want to bypass these current distributors and come directly to me in the future? They are not stupid, they definitely want to be exploited less."

“So the question is, when the record companies have no business to do, what do they do?”

"Of course you're going to kill me, the South Korean agent! If you can get rid of me and restore your past, are you going to fight with the black cat behind me?!"

“I can’t bear it, and I don’t know how to bear it.”

"If it's a proxy war, I'm not afraid of anyone if it's a 1v1 fight, but it will definitely turn into a group fight, with a group of them beating me up."

"So the South Korean entertainment company's opinion is not important at all. What's important is whether Black Cat is willing to expand its business scope and firmly protect me after seeing the results."

"In fact, I don't doubt that they will protect me, because they can't find another agent other than me who can gain a foothold in the South Korean entertainment industry."

"But I always feel insecure when I rely on others, and I am not someone who can really entrust my entire life and property to others."

"Therefore, I have to make every effort to develop myself in my limited free time. At the very least, I have to make C headquarters a place that can withstand several beatings."

"That is to say." Chen Chen spread his hands, "We can't have a chat today. We have to wait until I finish talking to Black Cat first." "..."

"Boss Chen is indeed the man who was able to turn C headquarters into a large company in just a year and a half. His tough tactics hide such a delicate mind. I really admire him." Park Jin-young suddenly spoke in an official tone. "Then let's talk later. I will wait for news from Boss Chen."

"Don't give me that!" Chen Chen was so disgusted by him that he wanted to curse. "Even if Black Cat is eager to expand, I will put the soy sauce bottle last. You are the one who can't be talked to the most!"

Park Jin-young was speechless now, he understood what Chen Chen meant.

If GOT7 is the pioneer, the next ones should be TWICE, Tuwas and the Chinese market. Well, although it is the fault of some people in Taiwan, it is not good.

……

……

There's not much to talk about. GOT7 sold copies in a week, shocking everyone and making everyone in the industry wonder if the numbers will become huge as long as they have anything to do with the Chinese market.

It's not even an unfounded guess, because Lee Ji-eun, who released her complete re-released album two days in advance, also reached the exaggerated number of 500,000.

Of course Chen Chen understood that it was because of the popularity that Lee Ji-eun had accumulated in China over the years that this sudden and amazing scene occurred.

Lee Ji-eun has been active in China all the time. Her popularity is among the highest in the Korean wave, and it has not been convenient before. God knows how much energy Chinese IU fans have accumulated after so many years. This time they can express their support conveniently and directly, so of course they rushed over.

There are also many fans who are restocking the albums that they missed or didn’t buy before.

So IU's situation is not surprising at all.

In the case of GOT7, it was all the fans' efforts. In order to help them get good results in their first album sales in China, Chinese fans put in a lot of effort, buying albums and doing the same thing as free data to get on the charts.

If Chen Chen remembered correctly, not many GOT7 albums had sales exceeding . Reaching in a week was indeed thanks to the Chinese market.

"Let the whole team stand together and record a thank you video to thank all the fans."

"Then let them record a small video to thank the Chinese fans."

"If you eat the food given by others, take the money of others, and enjoy the support of others, then bend your back."

Chen Chen sent a text message to Park Jin-young, then started the luxury car that Lin Nanyi had rented.

"Are we just going there like this?" Chen Chen looked at Pei Zhuxuan who was sitting in the passenger seat. "Wouldn't it be bad if we didn't bring any gifts?"

"My family knows that you gave me a restaurant, and they don't know how to face you." Pei Zhuxuan was speechless, "In their eyes, you are now a chaebol, a big chaebol, do you understand?!"

"It would be best if you don't bring any gifts this time and show off your generous side. That way they will think their daughter is worthy of you."

"That's enough. My boyfriend is so capable but my family is the first one who can't stand it!"

Pei Zhuxuan couldn't say anything and could only shake her head again and again.
