Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

In fact, including Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei, they all know that many of the more than 60,000 tickets sold actually went into the pockets of a few people. These few people are naturally the legendary scalpers.

However, this ticket issue, let alone now, will still be a problem that troubles many people even ten years later.

For example, the practice of buying tickets with ID cards, or grabbing tickets online, etc., in the end, the devil is always one foot higher than the saint. Scalpers always find ways to exploit loopholes, and even these guys can get free tickets and sell them.

For example, most of the tickets for Huayi's New Year's Eve concert this time have been sold out, and half a month before the concert, people kept selling tickets online under various names.

A small part of them really couldn't come to the concert due to personal reasons, but more of them were actually scalpers who found various excuses to secretly increase the price of tickets and sell them out.

"My friend and I agreed to spend the New Year in Shonan, so we can't go to Kyoto to watch the concert, so I'm selling five consecutive seat tickets. The original price is 580 each, and the current price is 1880. Friends who need it can send me a private message. It can be delivered by express. If you are worried, I can also trade with you in Kyoto through my friends."

"Three 1080 tickets are only 6800, which is 1,000 cheaper than the scalper tickets online. They are only sold for three days."

"The stand tickets originally priced at 380 are only 800, which is absolutely a conscience price. The minimum purchase is five tickets, and you can meet at the stadium entrance on the same day."

Similar information will appear in a lot of searches for keywords such as Huayi New Year's Eve Concert Tickets on the Internet. Among them, even the tickets for the worst seats have more than doubled, and the tickets for the best seats have at least increased by seven or eight times.

But even if the scalpers are crazy about raising the ticket prices, there are still many people who are willing to take this cut.

Time unknowingly came to December 31st, and Huayi's New Year's Eve Concert officially started at 7 o'clock that night.

At this time, all the hotels nearby were already full. Some small hotels even simply converted their basements into guest rooms. The environment was naturally very poor, but even so, they were still full a week ago.

Firstly, these rooms are cheap because of the poor environment, and secondly, they are close to the stadium.

Of course, some audiences who have the conditions choose to stay in big hotels. Some people even came to Kyoto a week ago and specially chartered a car. The main reason is naturally to watch the concert and also to travel by the way. After all, there are indeed many tourist attractions in Kyoto.

It is also lucky that Kyoto happened to snow in the past few days, and the snow was heavy enough for them to see the rare snow scene of the Forbidden City.

Although Nie Wei did not go to the Forbidden City, he has a mother who works there, so Nie Wei received a lot of snow scene photos taken by Su Qing. It must be mentioned that Su Qing's photography skills have the style of a master. No wonder, although she is studying archaeology, she can't do without a camera on weekdays. In addition, she is very interested in art and has talent in this area. She is exposed to cameras more often on weekdays, so she will naturally take pictures.

The snow scene photos of the Forbidden City she took have become the most popular pictures in Huayi Company. Not only Nie Wei, but also many staff members set these photos as their computer desktops after seeing the photos shared by Nie Wei, which shows how beautiful these photos are.

Speaking of which, the weather was good. Two days before the concert, the heavy snow in Kyoto stopped falling. Not only did the snow stop, but even the foggy sky was rarely blue. Wang Zhonglei was very happy about this and felt that it was God who blessed Huayi to make this concert a success.

As a scalper, Wang Xiaolan had a bowl of beef noodles at noon, then put on his military coat, hat and gloves, and fully armed himself to wait for customers at the entrance of the stadium.

As a senior scalper, he knew very well that the few hours from now to the evening before the concert were the golden hours for scalpers.

Because the audience who didn't buy tickets at this time are the most anxious, especially those who came here from other places. He is sure that the remaining 2,000 tickets of the official can't satisfy these people at all. When these audiences who came all the way to Kyoto know that the tickets are sold out, they must be so shocked.

And this time is also the time when this part of the audience is crazy.

They will feel unwilling to not be able to see their favorite idols perform and not be able to support them live. This will turn into an obsession in their hearts, making these audiences start to ignore the ticket price, and at this time, it is time for these scalpers to act as their saviors.

You should know that Wang Xiaolan started preparing for this Huayi New Year's Eve concert half a month before the concert started selling tickets. Whether it is online ticket sales or real ticket sales, he has arranged staff, and the final result is also gratifying. Their small team grabbed nearly 100 tickets.

During this period, he sold more than 90 tickets and earned nearly 100,000 yuan. He shared it with his teammates and got more than 20,000 yuan. On average, he can be regarded as earning more than 10,000 yuan a month.

But in Wang Xiaolan's eyes, these were just small money. The five tickets that he hid from his friends were the real big money. During this period, he looked at the soaring ticket prices online and almost couldn't help wanting to sell them several times. However, when he thought that he might be able to sell them for a higher price, this greater greed suppressed his desire.

Finally, the golden hours he had been waiting for finally arrived, and he could sell the five VIP tickets in his hand.

VIP tickets with an original price of 2088 are located closest to the stage. Not only are they in a good location, but they also have special treatment. With this VIP ticket, the ticket holder can take a photo with his idol for autograph.

This was originally a benefit that Huayi was going to give to some paying fans, but unexpectedly, scalpers saw the business opportunity in it.

As for whether the tickets would be in his hands, Wang Xiaolan was not worried, especially this year with Nie Wei's participation, which gave Wang Xiaolan great confidence.

For such a VIP ticket with special treatment, even if he sold it at ten times the price, I believe there will be many fans willing to take it. After all, there are many rich people among the fans. The 20,000 yuan ticket is just a drizzle in the eyes of the rich, and it is far less important than close contact with their idols.

Arriving at the gate of the stadium early, Wang Xiaolan held a hot water bottle and began to observe the people wandering at the gate of the stadium, looking for a target.

As for how to distinguish which fans have the spending power, Wang Xiaolan has long cultivated a pair of sharp eyes. Although he is dressed sloppily, he is a master of fashion.

He can estimate the approximate value of the clothes a person is wearing by just glancing at them, and use this to judge the person's spending power. Although he dare not say that it is 100% accurate, it is still 70% to 80%.

Sure enough, there are many fans without tickets who come to the stadium gate with the hope of trying their luck. Wang Xiaolan counted them casually, and there are at least hundreds of people. He also saw several colleagues among them. However, Wang Xiaolan disdains these colleagues who contact fans one by one without discrimination. His customers are positioned as high-end customers.

However, the high-end customers that Wang Xiaolan hopes for are obviously not many among the fans. He met two on the scene. Wang Xiaolan stepped forward and hinted to ask. Although the other party is interested, he hesitated after hearing the ten-fold ticket price and still did not buy.

Wang Xiaolan was not disappointed with this result. He knew that on the one hand, he asked too high a price, and on the other hand, it was not the time yet. The bottom line in the hearts of these fans had not yet been reached. When the show was about to start, you can see that these people did not beg him to sell. At that time, he might have to raise the price.

Unconsciously, three hours had passed. The hot water bottle in Wang Xiaolan's arms had been filled with hot water twice at a nearby warehouse. However, the cold weather could not stop the enthusiasm brought by the 60,000 yuan in Wang Xiaolan's chest.

His estimate was indeed correct. There were indeed many wealthy fans. Didn't you see that three tickets were sold in three hours? Looking at the increasing number of fans at the entrance of the stadium, Wang Xiaolan felt that as long as he worked harder, he might be able to go home with 100,000 yuan and have a hot dinner made by his mother.

Soon, Wang Xiaolan, who was hiding in the warehouse eating instant noodles, found another good target.

Although this girl looked a little small, she was well dressed. The white down jacket that appeared at Moncler's latest winter conference was worth nearly 10,000 yuan, and the pair of snow boots she wore from the same brand Moncler cost at least 5,000 yuan. In addition, there was the LV backpack on the girl's back and the Chanel cashmere scarf she wore. In short, the price of her clothes was almost as much as the cash in his arms.

Moreover, coming so early, it seems that there is no ticket. If there is a ticket, who would come here so early to suffer the cold? It's just asking for trouble.

Such customers are definitely high-quality customers. Looking at the innocent look of this girl, she is simply the best candidate for Wang Xiaolan's heart.

In order to prevent the little girl from thinking of him as a weird uncle, Wang Xiaolan also bought a small mirror and a wooden comb in the warehouse, and then tidied up his messy hair, and then looked at the mirror for a long time. After finding the most friendly smile, he moved towards the "target".

But he didn't notice that the shop owner behind him looked at him like a lunatic, and even took out his mobile phone.

The closer he got to the girl, the more Wang Xiaolan felt that he had chosen the right target. Not to mention the girl's clothes, her temperament alone could make people see that she was extraordinary. Although she was young, she gave Wang Xiaolan a very noble feeling. Every gesture made the girl feel like a crane standing out from the crowd.

When Wang Xiaolan was less than ten meters away from the girl, the girl raised her wrist to look at her watch, and this action made Wang Xiaolan pause again.

It was not that he found something and retreated, but that he was frightened by the girl's watch.

The Patek Philippe classic watch on the girl's wrist was at least 400,000 yuan. It seemed that he still underestimated the girl's wealth. It was obvious that this was a girl from a very wealthy family, and he also doted on this girl, otherwise he would not buy such an expensive watch for such a little girl. In Wang Xiaolan's opinion, this was a waste of natural resources. How could such a big child understand the value of this watch.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolan took the initiative again with the intention of beating the local tyrants, and walked towards the girl with the most friendly smile he had just practiced.

But what he didn't notice was that there were already several eyes on him.

"Captain, do you want to stop the target behavior?" A middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker and looking very strong said with a headset, and the other side quickly responded.

"Don't act unless you have no alternative. The boss has told us not to interfere with the employer's normal life. You stay close to the target, don't make a sound, and be aware of any unexpected situations."

"Understood."

Wang Xiaolan didn't notice that when he came to the girl who looked like she was from a wealthy family, at least three strong men had already walked near him. Without him noticing, they had already taken their positions, blocking all the directions he could escape.

Wang Xiaolan didn't know this. He was now fully devoted to how to convince the girl in front of him and then sell the last two tickets in his hand.

"Classmate, are you here to watch the concert? I heard that there are many stars tonight. Nie Wei, Cheng Kun and Fan Binbin will all perform on stage." After approaching the girl, Wang Xiaolan looked at the girl seemingly unintentionally, and then took the opportunity to say.

He didn't care about the girl's reaction. He came up and burst out a string of star names, obviously to arouse the girl's desire. After all, such a big girl must not come here to appreciate art, but to chase stars, especially those handsome male stars, who are definitely the favorites of girls of this age.

After mentioning a string of stars, Wang Xiaolan didn't even give the girl a chance to answer, and asked directly: "Are you worried about not having tickets? It doesn't matter, I have them, and they are the best VIP tickets. You can take photos with your favorite stars with the tickets, and there are also star autographs. How about it, only 30,000 yuan."

The offer of 30,000 yuan was decided by Wang Xiaolan temporarily. Who else could he cheat if he didn't cheat her?

However, Wang Xiaolan didn't realize that after he said this, the girl looked at him with as strange eyes as possible, just like looking at a fool.

"Girl, give me a straight answer, I don't have trouble selling these tickets. Just now, two girls wanted to buy them, but unfortunately they didn't bring enough money, and they are going back to get them. If you want to buy them, buy them as soon as possible. When they come back, I can't sell you the tickets if you want them. After all, I also pay attention to first come first served, and I still have this morality." Seeing the girl silent, Wang Xiaolan thought that the other party was struggling in her heart, so he immediately "threatened" the girl and deliberately set up two imaginary enemies for the girl.

Wang Xiaolan thought that after he said that, the girl would definitely be shaken, and then he would give her a discount, and maybe she would accept it.

But just when he was about to speak, he finally found that the girl's eyes were a little wrong.

This look didn't look like a heartbeat at all, but more like watching a play. As for who was performing, Wang Xiaolan quickly thought of it, wasn't it himself?

Suddenly, Wang Xiaolan had a bad feeling.

At this moment, Wang Xiaolan suddenly saw a man in his thirties walking over not far behind the girl, and he walked in the direction of the girl and said: "Duoduo, uncle is here to give you a ticket."
