Chapter 126: The album is a big hit
"Hey, Mr. Fang, what? 500,000? Mr. Fang, it's not that I won't give it to you, it's that the company really has no inventory, the orders have been placed on the manufacturer's side, and all production lines have been started at full capacity.
Yes, yes, thank you for your support, look at this, the first batch of 30,000 sheets can be produced at noon, I will give you 50,000 sheets, and then give you a uniform point for each batch, how about it?" Li An said with a smile on his face, so he discussed it with the other party.
Without waiting for Li An to take a breath, another call also came in: "Hey, Mr. Chen......"
The ordering call lasted for a whole morning, and more than a dozen calls in the entire business department did not stop in one morning, and even the personal phone of the salesman never stopped.
Several people frantically answered the phone and kept answering.
Ang Lee's situation here is not much better, because he has also worked in other entertainment companies before, and he is also very familiar with some customers.
This time, many of the pre-distribution goods were shoehorned into others by Ang Lee relying on his previous relationships.
Although the dealer has little confidence in the new album, considering the problem of face, the 10,000 or 20,000 copies will be accepted and tried first.
What they didn't expect was that Qin Feng's new album was selling so well, and before anyone could react, the store was out of stock.
I called to place an order, but I was told that the studio was out of stock.
They really haven't seen such a hot sales situation a few times.
"Mr. Li, are you looking for me?" Wang Li, the technical consultant, walked into Ang Li's office.
"Lao Wang, you also understand the current situation, the studio really can't spare manpower. So you just work hard, go to the manufacturer's side and keep an eye on it, and let them hurry up to produce our goods. When a batch is produced, a batch will be sent, don't delay. Li An said to Wang Li.
"Okay, I'll go over now. Wang Li nodded, and without saying a word, he immediately went to the manufacturer to stare at it.
He also saw the situation in the studio, all the salesmen answered their personal calls again, and the other personnel also temporarily acted as salesmen, sitting at their posts to answer the phone.
The whole studio is busy and called a mess, temporarily recruiting dozens of people, still not enough manpower, according to the current statistics, the total order volume of the country is about six million.
And this is just the result of one morning, and now the trend of ordering has not decreased at all, but there is an upward trend, and at this rate, the result is unimaginable.
"Mr. Li, Taobao Record Store wants to invite Feng Shao to them for on-site signing activities, and the opening price is 500,000 plus the signed album, not divided, all of which belongs to us. Ang Lee's assistant fed back to Ang Lee.
"500,000, the price is not low. In this case, I will ask Feng Shao first. ”
Subsequently, Li An called Qin Feng, at first Qin Feng wanted to refuse, but after listening to Li An's analysis, he found that the benefits of signing were also quite big, so he agreed.
After Li An hung up the phone, he said: "In this way, you tell them that 800,000 plus will not be divided, and if you agree, we will arrange for Feng Shao to go over tomorrow morning." ”
The price of 500,000 is indeed not low, but now that no one has invited Qin Feng except them, there are many things to ask for a bargain, and it is only 300,000 yuan, which is not a problem for dealers.
The fame that the signing alone will bring to them is not too small, and there are other added values, definitely more than that.
Of course, it is also very tempting not to share, and now the share is divided by month, and each company will give them a 5% share of the total sales profit each month, which can also be used as a rebate.
The factory cost of an album is fifteen yuan, and the price of "Chinese Storm" is sixty yuan, which is already a low-to-mid-range level, and if you wait until the second album, the price will start at least seventy.
The dealer's price is 45 yuan, that is to say, for every album sold, the dealer can get a profit of 15 yuan, 10 copies is 15, 100 copies is 15000 copies, 10,000 copies is 150,000 copies, and at the end of the month, 5% of the 150,000 will be used as a share.
The studio can get a profit of 30 yuan for an album, of course, what to share with the distributor is naturally a matter of the studio, and it has nothing to do with the Internet.
The share of the album is seventy-three, that is, for a profit of 30 yuan, the network can get a share of 9 yuan.
Although the studio can get twenty-one, but if you throw away the manpower and material resources and the share with the dealer, you can almost get more than ten yuan.
Of course, what makes Qin Feng even happier is that for one million albums, thirty yuan per album, the studio can get a profit of 30 million.
This is a lot of income for a studio that has just started, after all, the studio has been open for a while, and now it is only starting to have income.
"Mr. Li, they agreed, but there is one condition, we must give them no less than 100,000 albums.
Thirty thousand of them have been sold out, and the fans are gone. The assistant said.
"100,000 tickets are OK, but they have to be made up in batches, 10,000 for them at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, 10,000 at about 7 o'clock, 40,000 in the early morning, and the rest for two days.
In addition, tell them that if they are not in a hurry, they can go directly to the manufacturer to find Lao Wang to pick up the goods, you go to inform Lao Wang, and send a few people to help. Li An nodded and said.
Although it was just a suggestion, he still hoped that those dealers would go directly to the manufacturer to pick up the goods.
Why? Cost savings, so that they can save the cost of shipping back and forth, and these costs will be borne by the dealers themselves.
……
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze everyone!" Wang Li stood at the gate of the factory, shouting loudly at the crowd.
At the beginning, it was still a little effective, but now, with more and more people, Wang Li's shouting is useless.
Densely packed, hundreds of large and small dealers crowded together, like a temple fair.
Rao is Wang Li's mouth was dry, and he didn't even have time to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and he still couldn't control the current scene.
And the security guards of the factory can only be put on temporary clothes, but it is still to no avail.
"Whoever is squeezing it will not give you the goods today. In desperation, Wang Li had no choice but to take out a big move and continue to shout towards the crowd.
Seeing that the crowd below had quieted down a little, Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said, "Since everyone can come here, they are all predetermined."
Just follow our arrangement, and I guarantee that you will get the goods within an hour.
I'll post this list here, you guys will take a look at it for yourselves, and I'll call out to whoever will follow me in. But in advance, if you squeeze here again, I'll give your goods to someone else. ”
"Okay, okay, don't crowd, we won't crowd, let's start quickly, if you don't go back, the store will be demolished." The representative of the Taobao record store wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Wang Li.
This time, in order to get the album as soon as possible, the store sent him over, and he was the first to come, but the factory hadn't finished making it yet, so he had to wait here.
Now it's finally time to release the goods, but he didn't expect hundreds of people to suddenly come behind, which made him a little unhappy.
"The first one, Taobao Records, is the person in charge here?" Wang Li glanced at the list and shouted to the crowd.
"It's coming! it's coming!" the representative of Taobao Records immediately raised his hand and squeezed towards Wang Li's position at the same time.
"Okay, come in with me. Wang Li nodded, then handed the list to the others, and ordered to call someone in every minute.
Because the amount of goods asked for this time was relatively large, the factory was also more cooperative, and the security room was temporarily lent to Wang Li for their use.
At the same time, they are also allowed to open an order, which is then shipped directly by the factory, and finally settled together.
directly handed the ID card to Wang Li and let Wang Li take photos for archiving. I just looked at the number of albums and the payment, and after I didn't find a problem, I signed my name and ID number according to Wang Li's request, and finally wrote that the payment was not paid.
Wang Li took the list signed by the representative of Taobao Records, and after reading it, there was no problem.
Then he handed him another slip along with his ID card and a business card, and said, "Take the slip to warehouse No. 3 to pick up the goods, and the payment will be credited to our studio account by Friday." ”
"Okay, I'll come and pick up another 30,000 yuan in the afternoon, plus the 10,000 yuan that was distributed before, a total of 40,000, and I'll call you together after picking up the goods in the afternoon." The representative of Taobao Records responded with a smile.
After picking up the goods at the warehouse, I immediately asked the driver to drive the goods to the Times Square store.
………
"Well, I said when will you arrive? I've been waiting for five hours, and if you don't come, you can tell me why not, and we're still lining up here on such a hot day. One fan muttered dissatisfied.
"The goods will arrive soon, and I have just contacted my colleague, who has already received the goods and is rushing to us. Li Ruofeng wiped his sweat and said.
From the morning to now, he didn't even bother to eat lunch, and now it seems that he doesn't have time to eat lunch. As an intern store manager, Li Ruofeng also learned a lot today.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good news, two good news. The first, at the latest, half an hour at the latest, 10,000 new albums will arrive in stores, and three more will arrive around 7 p.m.
Second, at half past eight tomorrow morning, Qin Feng will come to our Taobao record store for an on-site signing session.
I hope you can keep the receipt when you purchased the album, because if you don't have a receipt, you won't be able to queue up to ask for an autograph. After answering the phone, the store manager walked out directly and announced.
He already knew the news that Qin Feng was coming to hold a signing party tomorrow, at least an hour ago.
It's just that he didn't announce the news at the first time, but asked the clerk to make a poster first.
Just got the poster, and the fans have been waiting for so long, the mood is starting to get impatient.
That's why they chose to release this exciting news at this time, so that they didn't have time to take care of the album.
"Really, what's going on?"
"It can't be a lie, right?"
"Our stores are all here, besides, what's the benefit of lying to you? Not only do we need to bear legal responsibility, but we also face the danger of being abandoned by you.
Rest assured, what I say is true. Our boss just called me to inform him, he just negotiated with Qin Feng's studio, and the boss is still discussing the details with their manager. The store manager explained with a smile.
"Damn, this news is too exciting. I need to inform the others quickly. ”
"What? Where did you throw away the ticket? Hurry up and find it. ”
For a while, everyone was in no mood to think about whether the album had arrived, but called one by one, asking their friends who had already bought the album to see if their receipts were still in their hands.
After seeing this scene, the store manager was also much more relieved. About 20 minutes later, a van stopped in front of the store, and several clerks opened the back door directly, and after moving more than a dozen boxes of goods, the van drove away.
There was a crowded scene in the store again, and to everyone's surprise, tens of thousands of albums had been sold out in just one hour, and the long queue outside the store was longer than in the morning, according to incomplete statistics, at least more than 8,000 people were still queuing at the moment, the scene was very hot, and even the police station had to send police officers to maintain order after learning about the situation.
This horrific scene, those who don't know it think it's a queue march.
……
At nine o'clock in the evening, the crowds on the streets gradually dispersed, but all over the country, the front of the major record stores was still hot.
In the afternoon, the factory was also a little caught off guard by this sudden order.
Under the discussion with Qin Feng's studio, the factory finally temporarily stopped the production of the rest of the records, and produced Qin Feng's first album "Chinese Storm" at full capacity.
Rao was like this, and only 300,000 copies were made in one afternoon.
If you follow this output, you can make about one million copies a day, which is not low.
However, in the face of such a hot sales scene, the output is still slightly insufficient, and the sales volume cannot keep up at all.
Up to now, the total order volume of the country has reached more than 8 million.
Not to mention the final result, just talking about the order on the first day was enough to make Qin Feng happy.
Now is the time when the Chinese music market is falling rapidly, and 8 million album orders, what does it mean? Even those kings and divas-level figures cannot reach this level in a day in today's market environment.
Dragging his tired body, Wang Li returned to the studio with today's day's shipment data.
All the staff of the business department worked overtime, and many people from other departments stayed in the company to work overtime, counting the sales data on the first day.
"Lao Wang, thank you for your hard work. As soon as Wang Li returned to the company, Li Ang couldn't wait to greet him.
Wang Li seemed to know what Li An was going to do, so he nodded slightly, and then took out a bunch of documents from his bag and handed them to Li An. And he himself ran directly to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water.
After getting the documents, Li Ang couldn't wait to hand over all the documents to the financial accounting specialist, and after just a few minutes, he gave the final answer.
"Mr. Li, the factory shipped 400,000 yuan today, plus the previous company's 1 million, a total of 1.4 million yuan was shipped a day today. Chen Jinhui, the manager of the finance department, took the statistics and walked up to Li An and said.
"Lao Liu, what about the sales?" Li An nodded excitedly, and then shouted to Liu Jie, the manager of the business department who had just hung up the phone.
"The supply is in short supply, and when I called, people thought it was to pick up the goods. Liu Jie was also tired, but he was still very happy in his heart.
"Good, good!" got the final result, and Ang Lee clenched his fists excitedly and applauded.
1.4 million albums, just one day of sales broke through the current average of domestic album sales, and more importantly, when all the money is back, the studio will have a profit of more than 40 million yuan.
Qin Feng was also very happy when he saw the data, and in addition to being happy, Qin Feng looked at the tired employees in the studio, and immediately said: "Everyone has doubled their salaries this month." In addition, who is that, Xiao Zhang, calls to order food and calls for supper. ”
"Yay~Long live Kaede~~" The employees of the entire studio immediately burst into cheers.
The album sold well, and it was the studio that made the money, and at most they swept away the depressed mood of having nothing to do in the previous months.
But when they heard Qin Feng say that his salary was doubled, everyone was boiling, and they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.
