Chapter 51 Treatment
finally figured out why this album became popular, and the fog in his heart suddenly dissipated, Zheng Changsheng sat down on the boss's chair with a golden knife, and his heart became brighter and calmer.
Then, one by one, he called them by name.
"Lao Liu, Yang Fan! Your propaganda and distribution department will immediately make sales estimates for the next three months, six months, and one year according to the results of this survey, and then ask the production department to formulate a more detailed production plan. I have only one request, that is, after Liao Liao returns to the capital, he will immediately launch the third round of propaganda! It will be bigger than the first two groups combined! This time, the title song ...... "Persistence"! The focus of the propaganda is the ice-breaking work of domestic light rock! It is the arrival of the era of domestic light rock love songs!
Liu Zhongxin nodded, glanced at Yang Fan, agreed, and turned to leave.
"Old Ma, isn't Sony going to get stuck in our necks? You are like this, immediately contact me with Huage and Xinda, the domestic cD production line is not only Sony, Huage and Xinda also have it! Throw out the cD piece, let the two of them grab it! Damn, I don't believe it! By the way, let them quote a price for the tapes, and the one with the lowest price will get it! Tell them that although the scale of Changsheng Records is not large, there are also six or seven million tapes to go away from every year, don't take the lion as a feline! Then, you contact me in Jiaxing's Nansheng company, I have been to their factory, their tape recorder and Walkman quality workmanship is very average, but their tape quality and quality control are not bad, after all, it is also Sony's 92 production line, than Sony's own quality control is not much worse! The most important thing is that they are in the south, from Jiaxing to the south of the factory to distribute goods, than we can at least save a day or two of time from Beijing! Besides, as long as the negotiation is close and as long as I guarantee the quality, I can directly give him an order of 500,000, 800,000, or even 1 million, and you can even tell them that this order is done, and in the future, the production of our Changsheng Records in the south can be handed over to them! In this way, the price must not be much higher! By the way,...... This matter, you call first, and after you go back and explain both sides of Hua Ge and Xinda to Lao Sun, you will fly over directly with the mother plate and keep an eye on it for me!"
Ma Xiang clapped his hands when he heard this, and was about to praise "good", but he hesitated for a moment and said, "Then Sony's side...... If we do this, will we completely offend them? We have been handed over to them for production for the past few years, and the relationship has always been good, if we annoy them this time, will they ...... in the future?"
"What?, pressure us?" Zheng Changsheng said disdainfully: "I endured it in the past, but I was too troublesome and unwilling to do more, Sony really thought that he could crush everyone with cD technology in his hand? Not to mention that their cD has not been promoted yet, they are still trying their best to pull all the record companies over to promote cD together, even if cD has been promoted, one day I want to send business to them, can it not accept our order?"
After a pause, he said: "Although Sony is used to being a big brother and his brain is a little stiff, don't worry, as long as someone keeps reminding them, he will understand! They are not stupid!"
The old horse nodded when he heard this, but there was still a trace of hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, Zheng Changsheng sighed helplessly, "Of course, cD is indeed the trend of the future, and Sony's technology and quality control are indeed the best...... In this way, you should do what I just said, and inform Lao Sun that you should be busy with your go, Sony, and I will personally go and talk about it, and strive to let them vacate the production line for us as soon as possible! After all, I don't want to offend them unless it is absolutely necessary! Alas, who let us be small and have no production line ourselves!"
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the old horse agreed, turned and left.
At this time, after arranging the two pieces of propaganda and production, Zheng Changchang let out a sigh of relief, puffed two puffs of cigars, and re-lit the fire, and then said to Zhao Meifeng with a smile: "Meifeng, okay, I'm done, you can continue to criticize yourself! This is strangely rare, you have to let me have a good time!"
Zhao Meifeng couldn't help but smile when she heard this, shook her head and said: "Mr. Zheng, don't take you to make such a joke! Okay, I won't bother you! However, I don't think what Lao Ma said is unreasonable, you better quickly contact Sony! Don't blame me for not reminding you, we don't just have business with others in production, and we don't buy works from there, once the relationship is stiff, these songwriters signed by our company ourselves can't hold it!"
Zheng Changsheng sighed when he heard this and nodded.
…………
In the afternoon, the capital, the east and west long streets.
A black business van shuttles deftly through the traffic.
In the car, Zhao Changsheng was answering the phone, "...... Well, yes, I just came out of Sony, and I have promised to vacate the production line tonight, and we can arrange our production from tomorrow, and I gave them a list of 500,000, of course, Sony has always been bundled, so there are still 50,000 cD ...... How did you talk to Hua Ge and Xinda over there?...... Okay, okay! Then give the list to Hua Ge, and it will cost 500,000 yuan...... What? Do you want to tie up cD? Is Hua Ge Sony's son? How can he promote cD so hard?...... Forget it, cD is also sold anyway, and tapes are also sold, so let's bundle it!"
After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed the other one, "Hey, Lao Ma, I'm Zheng Changsheng." Oh, you've booked your ticket? Evening? Yes, what's that saying?...... Well, well, this price is completely acceptable! First finish this business, and give them some confidence, and tell them that we are not going to withdraw with a shot! At that time, if we negotiate the price, they will have to reduce the price! Okay, you can do it with confidence! By the way, the master must be optimistic! Okay, get busy!
After hanging up the phone and being stunned for a while, Zheng Changsheng suddenly laughed.
At this time, Xiao Wang, the secretary who had been sitting in the front row and had not even dared to come out, suddenly said: "Mr. Zheng, congratulations, Liao Liao must be on fire this time!
Zheng Changsheng was stunned, laughed haha, pointed at Xiao Wang and said, "Okay! This sycophant is good! It's just right for the time to shoot! haha...... I'll give you a bonus when I come back!"
When Xiao Wang heard this, he hurriedly thanked him repeatedly.
Zheng Changsheng smiled and turned his head to look at the traffic outside the window, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a signboard flashing by the roadside. He was stunned for a moment and asked the driver, "Is the one on the north side of the road the head office of Dongguan Bookstore?"
The driver turned his head and glanced outside, he was very familiar with this road, and immediately replied: "That's right, Mr. Zheng, that is the head office of Dongguan Bookstore." Are you going to ...... Let's take a look?"
Zheng Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and suddenly became a little curious, so he said, "Okay, you drive the car over, and I'll go see how this album sells!"
The driver agreed, saw that there was a sign at the intersection in front of him that allowed a U-turn, and quickly turned the turn signal and hit the steering wheel.
Three minutes later, Zheng Changsheng had already taken his secretary Xiao Wang to the Beijing Center store of Dongguan Bookstore, which is commonly known as the main store.
The time was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was a lot of traffic in the store.
found the singing area, Zheng Changsheng walked in and walked around casually, and was about to ask the salesman how the album "Liao Liao" was selling, but it happened that someone rushed to ask the salesman if there was "Liao Liao" before him.
The salesperson said that it is not in stock at the moment, but the store is doing its best to transfer the goods, and it will probably arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
This is simply talking nonsense with your eyes open, the share rationed to Dongguan Bookstore has been sold out, and there is not a single copy left in Changsheng Records' own warehouse, and the new batch has not even been put on the production line, where will the goods come from tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
But the fan obviously believed it, and praised it and said that there was no stock in other places, and they all said that they didn't know when it would arrive, or that a big store like your Dongguan Bookstore would get the goods quickly!
Zheng Changsheng's eyelids jumped when he heard this!
This record is so hot that whoever can get the goods first means whose channel is more awesome?
Is this the seventies queuing to buy a TV?
At this time, without waiting for Zheng Changsheng to finish complaining in his heart, the other party asked the salesman, if he left his phone number and waited for the goods, could he call to inform him? The salesman was very professional, and immediately agreed, and then took out a small notebook and handed it over, and the other party left the phone number, and then turned around and left.
After a few steps away, Zheng Changsheng glanced at the small book from a distance, and was about to open his mouth to come over to see how many requests were made. But before he could lift his legs, he saw the salesman stuff the little book into his pocket and said to another salesman next to him: "What's the use of leaving the phone! I dare to guarantee that as soon as the goods arrive, they will be sold out before I finish calling one by one! If I call people and they are out of stock, then I won't be a fool? I won't be scolded by that!"
The other salesperson smiled and asked, "How many people do you have there waiting for this album?"
The salesman took out a small book and flipped through it, and said, "There are about fifty or sixty people!" By the way, my sister asked me for it last night, and one mouth is five cassettes and one cD! People don't know and think I'm a fairy! What can I conjure up for her...... Didn't I buy the tape that I had dismantled in our store when I got off work the day before yesterday, and I was criticized by the store manager for this last day! As a result, she took it to school and listened to it, and her classmates knew that I was working in our bookstore. But you say, there is no stock in this world, where can I get them for them?...... Hey, by the way, how many people do you have left their phones there?"
The salesman said: "I'm fifty or sixty too! Like you, I've also received several friendship orders! Paralyzed, the first time I found out, Lao Tzu broke the salesman and still had such a powerful day! How much money was earned, put aside, and watched people pay us a smile...... Don't say it, it tastes good! But it's the same, I can't change it!"
Zheng Changsheng twisted his fingers, thinking that it would be easy to meet these two Jing Youzi, there was no need to ask, what he wanted to know and didn't want to know, this time he knew everything.
He shook his head with a smile, turned back to Xiao Wang and said, "Go!
…………
Business vans are on the road again.
Zheng Changsheng was sitting alone in a comfortable airline seat, thinking about things with his eyes closed, when suddenly his mobile phone vibrate, he picked it up and connected it, "Hey, Lao Liu, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Zheng, good news, the Voice of China has announced last week's on-demand list!"
Zheng Changsheng's expression perked up when he heard this, and he immediately sat up straight and asked, "Is our company's song on the list?"
"There are two of them! both are by Liao Liao!"
Zheng Changsheng's face was full of surprise, "Two songs?"
"Yes, two songs!"My Hometown of Love", 7th place!"Persistence", 10th place!"
"Good...... Okay!haha! I got it!"
He hung up the phone, and the secretary Xiao Wang seized the opportunity and slapped the sycophants again. Liu Zhongxin's voice was loud enough when he reported the good news, and Xiao Wang heard it when he sat in the passenger seat. Zheng Changsheng laughed twice and said, "Enough is enough! There is no bonus this time! If you get a bonus, you can make me poor by yourself!"
As a result, Xiao Wang casually said, "If it weren't for your discerning eyes and discovering Liao Liao, I wouldn't be able to find a chance to make a sycophant at this time!
Zheng Changsheng laughed.
…………
In the afternoon, Changsheng Records, General Manager's Office.
Zheng Changsheng finished reading the new sales estimate formulated by the Publicity and Distribution Department, nodded with satisfaction, signed it and handed it to the secretary Xiao Wang. When Xiao Wang went out, he thought about it, found a phone number under the glass on the desktop, picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers, thought about it, but then buckled the phone and took out his mobile phone to dial.
The phone rang and the call was answered quickly.
It was a timid voice, "Hey, is it Mr. Zheng?" Sister Liao Liao is taking a bath, I am his assistant Xiao Huang, Huang Wenjuan, if you have something urgent, I will call her?"
Maybe Zheng Changsheng didn't even notice it himself, his current tone is simply unprecedentedly kind and cordial, "No, no, no! I just asked about your situation, I've been recording shows recently?"
Oops...... As soon as this voice came out, Huang Wenjuan on the opposite side was so frightened that she shivered directly!
Then, suddenly, she stumbled when she spoke, "Ah...... Record the show! That ...... Last night, I recorded the excerpt until midnight, and Sister Liao Liao was so sleepy just now that she slept a little longer in the afternoon, and she just got up at this time......"
Zheng Changsheng was unaware of his abnormality, and continued to say kindly: "Well, you are busy, and you should also pay attention to rest! You are Xiao Liao's assistant, you have to arrange this aspect! You are on a business trip in the field, food, accommodation, or something, you have to arrange it!"
At this moment, Huang Wenjuan felt that the goosebumps all over her body had risen!
On a hot day of 36 degrees outside, the air conditioner in the house was also 278 degrees, but the little assistant clearly felt that a cold snap was sweeping over his body!
She nodded on the phone like a chick and said, "Well, well, yes, I know Mr. Zheng!"
I thought I should hang up after caring about two sentences, but no.
Zheng Changsheng continued to ask: "I don't remember your schedule much, where are you now?"
"Uh, Canton Mansion. ”
"Oh, Guangzhou...... It's hot! On this day, there can still be 356 degrees Celsius in Guangzhou! By the way, what kind of hotel are you staying in?"
Yes, that's what I asked!
The little assistant bit his lip, and finally didn't dare to lie, just explained euphemistically: "We...... That's the case, Mr. Zheng, the main reason is that it's too hot here, those hotels that are almost a little bit old, living in the tide! The house is trendy, and the quilts are also trendy! Sister Liao Liao felt uncomfortable living there, so she asked me to book a three-star ...... However, Sister Liao Liao said that she posted the extra funds herself!"
"What is she posting, what is she posting? You are like this, Guangzhou Hilton knows, right? It is a five-star hotel, as far as I know, the conditions of that hotel are okay, you can call and book a room now, remember, book a suite! You will move over today...... What? If I ask you to order it, you will order it, and if I ask you to move, you will move! You don't have to worry about the expenses, and I will report it to you when you come back! I will reimburse it all!"
Huang Wenjuan obviously couldn't come back to her senses for a while, but subconsciously agreed, "Uh...... I, I know Mr. Zheng! I'll call to book a room when I get back!"
"Well, where are you going next?
"Uh, Kunming! Kunming Mansion is Chengdu Mansion, then Chang'an Mansion, and then you can go back......! Ticket...... That, Mr. Zheng, actually, in fact, I did book a train ticket at the beginning! But Sister Liao Liao said, she said, ......"
"She paid for the plane ticket herself, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"Let me tell you, from now on, you don't need Liao Liao to post any money, whether you go to Kunming Mansion, Chengdu Mansion, or Chang'an Mansion, you all book plane tickets! Joke, so far away, take the train with a bang, delay time, affect rest, not to mention, how tiring it is! Book a plane ticket! I will sign for reimbursement for you when you go back!"
"Uh...... Thank you, Mr. Zheng. ”
…………
Finally hung up the phone, Huang Wenjuan kept holding the mobile phone and remained motionless for a long time.
Liao Liao finished taking a shower, came out while wiping his hair, and when he saw her like that, he shook his hand in front of her, "Who called? Why did Balabala say so long? Hey...... You dead girl, take my phone to make porridge, right?"
Huang Wenjuan came back to her senses, and suddenly jumped up, and then, she spoke quickly and said what had just happened, and couldn't help but stroke her exposed arm, and said: "This scares me, I feel that the cold wind is swishing all over my body! Hey, Sister Liao, what do you say is wrong with Mr. Zheng? Why is he suddenly so generous? Is it a fever...... Burned up?"
Liao Liao dried his hair and smiled slowly when he heard this, "Fever? Mr. Zheng is such a shrewd person, he sleeps with a calculator!
Huang Wenjuan looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Liao Liao said: "Do you remember what I told you when I came back last night? During last night's show, a fan called and said that she couldn't buy it at several video stores, and asked me where I could buy it!
Huang Wenjuan nodded and continued to look at her.
Liao Liao glanced at her helplessly and explained, "What does this mean?"
"Uh, what does that mean?"
"It shows that the company was going to buy the batch of goods for two months, and it has been sold out by now!"
"Huh?"
…………
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Changsheng put down the phone, got up and turned on the cD machine and audio switch, opened the "Liao Liao" on the shelf next to him, took out the cD and put it in, and when Liao Liao's mellow and lazy singing began to sound in the room, he returned to his seat and slowly closed his eyes.
The cD box and the lyric book were still in his hand, he took out the lyric book, flipped to the back, found "My Beloved Hometown", stared at the two identical names under the song title for a long time, and then tapped it with his fingers.
Then, with a long exhale, he carefully put away the cD box and the lyric book on the table, and then narrowed his eyes again.
Well, that's it!
