China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 53 Lao Wang: Niang Xipi!

After the three-day New Year's Day holiday, Xu Xiaoxin and Ren Mengmeng went to school to play the album "Ghosts - Original Soundtrack" with their classmates.

The story surrounding Xu Xiaoxin and Ren Mengmeng is just a small microcosm, and can only be considered the tip of the iceberg in the entire Demon City.

After three days of fermentation, many people in the Magic City area have discovered the treasure of ghosts.

The people who discovered this treasure, like Xu Xiaoxin and Ren Mengmeng, acted as tap water and shared their discoveries with their relatives and friends around them.

After being introduced to Amway, quite a few of these relatives and friends were amazed by the super high quality of Ghost.

They will once again benefit the people around them.

In this way, a positive cycle is formed.

……

It’s still Lao Wang’s video store.

Lao Wang is a hard-working man. He opened the shop door early to welcome customers and do business.

On New Year's Day, his partner sent him several boxes of ghost CDs and tapes, but he only put some of them on the shelves.

The location of his store is relatively remote.

Except for Xu Xiaoxin and Ren Mengmeng who came to buy two boxes of ghost CDs on New Year's Day, several classmates came to buy a few boxes of ghost tapes, and then there was no ghost business.

Lao Wang thought to himself that his judgment was indeed accurate. The weirder the name, the faster the attack.

Look, within a few days, the CDs and tapes combined have not sold ten copies. The producer must not lose money so much?
  At noon, the students took their lunch break, and immediately several female students came to Lao Wang's video store.

"Boss, may I ask if you sell ghosts in your store?"

One of the leading female students asked.

The first wave of Amway's army has arrived on the battlefield.

"Yes, you can get it from the shelf in the second row, turning right from the front!"

Lao Wang knew exactly where each record was placed on the shelf.

The female students went to the location mentioned by Lao Wang, and one of them took a box of ghost tapes and went to the counter to pay.

Not long after these female students left, a larger army came to Lao Wang's video store.

"Xiao Ke and the others said they bought the tape at this store. Let's go in and ask the boss."

There was a group of students chattering outside the store.

They also came to buy ghosts, and there were many of them.

Lao Wang sold ten tapes and one CD at a time.

For most people, tapes are more affordable, so the inventory of tapes will be much larger than that of discs.

After all, people with deep pockets like Xu Xiaoxin and Ren Mengmeng are always in the minority.

After several customers came to the store to clean up ghosts, Lao Wang gradually came back to his senses.

She asked a pair of female classmates who came to the store to buy ghost tapes: "Classmates, I want to ask you, is this ghost very popular among our student group?
  Many students came to my store today to buy ghost tapes. "

"Of course it's popular! All fourteen songs in Ghost are good to listen to.

We are from the middle school next door, and there are no ghost goods next to our school.

My classmates and I traveled three kilometers to buy it from you. Do you think it is popular or not? "

The female classmate replied.

Although Lao Wang is conservative in thinking like many older people, as a businessman, his thinking speed is relatively fast and he can keep pace with the times.

By asking around from students, he knew that ghosts should be relatively popular among the student population.

That's right, the song that sounds like chanting is the most popular among young students. In the next half day, perhaps the ghosts in the area were sold out. I heard that Lao Wang still had them in stock, so more and more strangers came to Lao Wang's shop.

More than 80% of them came to buy ghost tapes, and a small number came to buy CDs.

The majority of these customers are students. In addition to students, there are couples, white-collar workers, etc. Most of them are young people.

As customer traffic increased, the two hundred and fifty tapes in Lao Wang's store were sold out within half a day.

The remaining dozens of CDs won't last long.

Some strangers who came to his store learned that the tapes had been sold out, so they gritted their teeth and directly added money to buy CDs.

By 4:30 in the afternoon, even the last CD was sold.

Lao Wang counted the tickets until he became weak and was frightened by the intensity of the ghost.

This is definitely a big-selling record!
  His store is located in a relatively remote location, and the first batch of goods sent to him by his partner was also relatively small. The total number of tapes and CDs was only 300 copies.

Even his small, remote shop sold more than 200 ghost copies in less than a day today and emptied all its inventory.

Needless to say, those video stores located in bustling areas? Don't you have to sell out the ghosts?

It only took a few days for Lao Wang to go from being disgusted with ghosts to gradually accepting them, and now exclaiming that they smell so good.

There's nothing I can do about it. Nearly 90% of the sales in his video store today were caused by ghosts. It's really delicious.

Lao Wang couldn't sit still. He immediately called the record company and urged them to deliver the goods quickly.

These days, the prime period for domestic record sales is only one week.

Because in the first week after it was launched, pirates did not respond, and the products circulating on the market were basically genuine products.

After a week, a large number of pirated copies that are much cheaper than the genuine ones will flood into the market, which will quickly squeeze out the genuine ones’ market share.

Chinese people don't have a strong awareness of genuine products at this stage. They don't care about genuine and pirated products. They buy whichever one is cheaper.

After Lao Wang dialed the phone, he found that the line was busy.

After hanging up and calling again, calling again when the line was busy and hanging up again, the cycle repeated almost ten times, and Lao Wang finally got through.

"Hurry up and deliver the ghost goods. Three hundred copies are not enough to sell. Before the day has passed, my little store has sold more than two hundred copies, and the goods are all sold out."

At this moment, Lao Wang was really anxious.

Every minute is money!

Judging from how popular ghosts are now. As long as there is sufficient supply, he is confident that he will sell two thousand copies of Ghosts, or even more, before a large number of pirated copies are released.

What is two thousand copies? A profit of two or three yuan is enough for him to win money.

The person who answered the phone at the record company told Lao Wang not to worry. There were too many calls for them to deliver goods today, and the inventory had already been sent out.

"With such a popular record, you must have placed a large order for the factory, right? I have cooperated with you for so many years, can you more or less give me some goods?"

Lao Wang received the other party's response and had a general understanding of the situation. His colleagues were all calling the record company.

The rush for goods was so intense that the influence of his small video store was limited, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get 2,000 or more copies of the goods.

But you have to give him some goods more or less, right?
  Lao Wang is already mentally prepared to settle for the next best thing.

However, the other party told him the next second that the first batch of orders placed by Ghost to the factory were only 50,000 tapes and 15,000 CDs.

And during the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, the company did not place additional orders for the factory.

The order was placed a few hours ago, and it would take at least two to three days for Lao Wang's supply to catch up.

Lao Wang's mentality exploded on the spot: "Niang Xipi! Those who do market research in your company are all freeloaders. My suggestion is to fire them all!!!"

Laowang Knife has everyone’s heart, and it has a prime sales period of two or three days! He can sell thousands of tapes and hundreds of CDs at least. How much money will this cost?
