Tuesday, August 24th, morning.

Changsheng Records, General Manager's Office.

After coming to the company, Zheng Changsheng spent more than ten minutes to process all the documents that should be signed, and then picked up the phone and dialed Ma Xiang, the deputy manager of the production department.

After a while, the other side was connected, and Zheng Changsheng said, "Old Ma, I'm Zheng Changsheng, yes, how about that side?...... Oh, it's all gone? didn't make any more trouble?...... Well, well, okay! You continue to stare over there, in the past two weeks, we only have three lines of these three, and the output still can't be pulled, so it is estimated that the next step is to queue up, Jiaxing Nansheng is the dealers of those provinces in the south, and the amount of walking every year is not small, people are anxious, say something ugly, don't be angry, coax me to persuade me to pay compensation, what are you doing! When you come back, I will give you a celebration...... Uh-huh, well!"

Hanging up the phone, he let out a long breath and couldn't help but wave his fist.

Although it was a little more thrilling, the matter was finally dealt with.

After the announcement of the out-of-stock ten days after the listing, it was not only Changsheng Records that were anxious, but also dealers around the country, and then they didn't know where to get the news, in short, they knew that even if the follow-up could resume supply, it would not be enough, so it only took one day, and dealers from all over the country came to the capital one after another.

You must know that although these dealers are not people in the music industry, they have been selling records all year round, and their connections in the industry are really not ordinarily deep, so it was easy for them to inquire about Changsheng Records, which currently got the three lines of Sony Records, Hua Records and Nansheng Company in Jiaxing, South China to produce the tapes of "Liao Liao", so that the output of less than 30,000 boxes per day is ...... Whoever grabs whom!

After all, they are the ones who face the market directly, and they can clearly sense the impulse of the fans behind the lack of supply. And they also know very well that it's hard to say far away, at least in the last few weeks, every cD of "Liao Liao" and every cassette of "Liao Liao" represent profits.

And in the next few weeks, as the supply gradually becomes sufficient, will this buying impulse due to the lack of supply be exhausted, will it cause the sales of this record to plummet...... This is something that no one dared to predict.

Besides, although piracy has become stricter and stricter in recent years, it is generally about 20 days after the genuine version is listed, and all kinds of pirated copies will begin to be distributed, and then it will be more profitable to sell pirated copies.

Therefore, only by getting enough goods as soon as possible can it represent real profits!

As a result, no one could have predicted in advance that these dealers actually made an appointment and went directly to the production workshop on the morning of last Friday!

Half went to Sony, half went to Huage!

After receiving the news, Lao Liu, the manager of the production department of Changsheng Records, was directly frightened, and hurriedly rushed to both sides with Zheng Changsheng and Zheng Changsheng to explain patiently.

Then, there is only one way, no one has to rob it, everyone puts out last year's sales, calculates the total output of the last week, and everyone divides it according to the proportion...... The one who is far away will be shipped first!

So, starting from Saturday, dealers in various provinces began to get the goods one after another, shipped one after another, to today, even rushed to Jiaxing Nansheng that batch of dealers in several southern provinces also began to get the goods, although the current production line of "Liao Liao" is concerned, it is impossible to fill the gap in the market, and the major dealers are also looking like they are hungry and difficult to fill, but it is good to be bad, by yesterday, the market in most of the provinces has begun to resume supply.

It's just that...... This kind of restraining is really uncomfortable!

In the past, small and medium-sized record companies like Changsheng Records, which sold millions of cassettes every year, as long as they contacted the production in advance, Sony had business to do, of course, they were happy to take over the work, and before the company officially launched the promotion and release of a record, there must have been enough market in the warehouse to digest two or three months of inventory, so although it did not have its own production line, the company really never felt any discomfort in the production of this piece.

But this time, with the popularity of the record "Liao Liao", Zheng Changsheng suddenly felt the pain of walking with a limp: whether intentionally or unintentionally, anyway, the three major record companies with a complete industrial chain joined forces to give Changsheng Records a hard blow when the album "Liao Liao" was selling the hottest album.

It's not that Sony and Huage don't do your business, but they just give you a production line!

As for Xinda, it is even more direct to pay a high price, not to mention Zheng Changsheng, even Manager Liu of the production department who went to talk about business was so angry that he almost dropped the cup on the spot!

And Nan Sheng ...... Well, although their production lines are the same as Sony, Xinda, and Huage, their scale is still too small after all, there are only three lines in the whole company, and they are in the most prosperous summer vacation period in the record market.

As a result, the consequence of not having a production line is that once you encounter a shortage of stock, you can only beg your grandfather to tell your grandmother, but you can only ask for three lines.

Three lines, the output of a week is about 200,000 boxes!

In other words, even if there are infinitely many people who want to buy the album "Liao Liao", next week's sales will be 200,000!

But what to do? Do you get on the production line yourself?

Obviously, I can't be so ruthless!

Except for Liao Liao's album, which is an unexpected situation, the seven or eight male singers and five or six female singers under Changsheng Records, together with a total of millions of boxes a year, really can't hold up.

Moreover, standing at the height of Zheng Changsheng, he knows very well that the tape that is still occupying the absolute mainstream of the market really can't last for a few years, and the future of the record market must belong to cD and digital audio.

But now, the cD production line is ...... Even the three major record companies have to take advantage of the advantages of production to force the production of large and small record companies to bundle production to promote, at this time, if the last set, at least within a few years, it is clear that it is waiting to fall into the dust!

And...... The cD line is also a bit too expensive!

Therefore, I can only think about it and have a good time.

It's just that when he thinks that "Liao Liao", which is obviously extremely popular in the market, can't explode when it is most likely to sell well, he can't help but be a strong nest in his heart.

Subconsciously, he opened the drawer again and took out the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore last week.

"Liao Liao", second place, weekly sales of 11,484 copies.

When he first saw this data yesterday, Zheng Changsheng couldn't help but take out the data of the last two weeks, and took the calculator and calculated it three times: the tapes, cD, and vinyl that were sent to Dongguan Bookstore were a total of 17,000 sets, and the first two weeks were 1,128 and 4,386 respectively, plus 11,484 this week, a total of 16,998.

There were only two records that I don't know which branch I shipped to that didn't sell!

Zheng Changsheng estimated that the two of them were vinyl.

And with such explosive data, "Liao Liao" probably only took about two days!

At this time, Zheng Changsheng couldn't help but regret it!

Needless to say, the sales estimate and production stocking before the issuance, after all, no one has a front and rear eye, if this is wrong, the entire company's senior management is only Liao Liao is correct.

What really made him regret it was that he should have placed an order for Sony as soon as he got the sales data of Dongguan Bookstore last week and found that the sales were rising, so that even if it was two days to grab, the market would be able to resume supply on Saturday and weekend!

If "Liao Liao" could have been supplied normally for three or four days last week, then even Liu Mingming's new album, which was released in the first week, could also blow him up!

After all, in the first week of Liu Mingming's new album on the market, there were only 13,241 copies in Dongguan Bookstore!

With a gap of less than 2,000 copies, "Liao Liao" will explode for him even if it sells for one more day!

Think about it, if the album "Liao Liao" can still step on Liu Mingliang in the first week to reach the top three weeks after its release, that feeling...... It's just not too good!

And if it can really be realized, Liao Liaoke will really be popular in China!

Pity...... Pity......

As soon as he put back the folder where the sales rankings of the past weeks were kept, someone knocked on the door outside, and Zheng Changsheng just shouted "come in", Zhao Meifeng walked in angrily, snapped, and slapped a messy pile of paper on Zheng Changsheng's desk, looking like a lion, staring straight at Zheng Changsheng, "I said Mr. Zheng, when will you transfer me to the brokerage department again?"

"Huh?" Zheng Changsheng was a little stunned, but he still appeased first, "Meifeng, Meifeng...... Don't worry, don't worry! Say something slowly! Come on, come on, sit down first, I'll make you a cup of tea! Sit, sit down!"

"Okay, don't make me tea, you better hurry up and arrange an agent for Liao Liao!"

Zheng Changsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he was not in a hurry to get the tea, and asked a little puzzled: "Is this ...... What the hell is going on? Who messed with you in the brokerage department? What does it have to do with Liao Liao's agent?"

Zhao Meifeng walked over and took back the pile of paper and handed it to Zheng Changsheng, "Look at it yourself!"

Zheng Changsheng took it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

This is actually an invitation to perform commercially!

The other party asked to sign a five-game contract first, and the price was 50,000 yuan per game! He also said that if the cooperation effect was good, they could then provide a 20-game contract with a price of 60,000 yuan per game!

Flip to the next one, it's another commercial performance invitation!

This one is even more ruthless, directly quoting 100,000 games, and asking for 20 direct signings!

It's really rich enough!

Zheng Changsheng almost turned his eyes back with a light - these add up, a full twenty copies, all of them are invitations to commercial performances, and the highest has even quoted the price to 120,000 per show!

With all these commercial performances, if they are all next, Liao Liao will not have to do anything else in the next year, just start the aircraft annual subscription mode!

But it's all money!

As a record company owner, I am simply reluctant to refuse any share!

However, after a cursory glance, Zheng Changsheng quickly raised his head to look at Zhao Meifeng and said with a smile: "I understand, but ...... How did the brokerage department get this stuff to you?"

Zhao Meifeng was already on fire, and when she heard this, she exploded all of a sudden, and her mouth was like a machine gun, "I am to blame for this? Who knows what the gang of people in the brokerage department are doing to eat! Liao Liao doesn't have an agent, but it's their business to say this kind of commercial performance, right? But they are good, and they directly passed on my contact information! I am a producer! Producing records, selecting songs, and arranging songs, that's my business! But this kind of commercial performance activity is my business! What you see, it's pretty good, it's all sent the quotation directly to the company, and the brokerage department sent it to me, and I can pretend not to see it, but the problem is that there are still many people who don't give a quotation, and call me directly to ask the price! This call has been on the phone since yesterday morning, and I haven't stopped calling for a while, one for a while, one for a while, I'm making an album for Lele, it's good, I'm going out to answer the phone in the middle of a song, I'm going out to answer the phone in the middle of singing, what else can I do with this album? It's just that I can't get angry at others, after all, I also know that taking these commercial performances is very important to the company and Liao Liao, but ...... What do you think the brokerage department is doing?"

Zheng Changsheng laughed while listening, and finally waited for Zhao Meifeng's serial cannon to finish, and estimated that the fire in his heart could be extinguished a little, and then said: "Blame me, blame me for this, the brokerage department, I have long wanted to start rectifying, but I haven't waited for me to do it...... Hey, don't be angry about this, isn't Lao Xiao in the brokerage department out at a concert, without him at home, those guys will be upside down! Don't worry, I'll give you anger when I turn around! When Lao Xiao comes back, I have to scold him severely! Well, when the time comes, I'll call you too, scold him in front of you, and give you anger, okay?"

If you don't say that Zheng Changsheng will be a man, as soon as these few words are said, even if he knows that when Lao Xiao comes back, he can't do it, but Zhao Meifeng still feels comfortable, and the little fire left in his heart is gone.

In fact, Zheng Changsheng understood very well in his heart: although Zhao Meifeng said it was exaggerated, in fact, there would not be many people who really called. The key is that these performing arts companies are very knowledgeable about the rules, and if they want someone to appear, they either offer a quote directly, or come directly to talk, just make a phone call, which is too insincere.

Main...... Well, I guess the main reason is that the phone number was leaked, which made Zhao Meifeng's heart angry! If it was really as serious as she said, then it would have to wait for today?

So, if she came over today, she is sure that she has a fire in her heart, but in fact, if she really wants to dig into her thoughts, it is estimated that she will come over with so many invitations to commercial performances that she has saved for a day...... There are also yes!

Look, Liao Liao's album was made by me! It's popular now, isn't it? Now there are commercial performances, isn't it? And it's a lot, isn't it? These commercial performances have a lot of money, aren't they? So...... So you're the boss, and you're looking at it!

has been in this circle for more than ten years, and Zheng Changsheng has long been able to understand the thoughts of these people in the literary and artistic circles!

Their temperament is straight, not only do they belong to donkeys, they can only follow the hair, once they go against the hair, they can immediately give you a kick, and they are also artillery, just one point, one blow up! It can be said that they are far more direct in talking and doing things than those so-called white-collar workers and blue-collar workers who work outside, but that does not mean that they will not express anything euphemistically...... On the contrary, literary and artistic young people really want to play this, and they are much better at it than others!

So, when her anger subsided, Zheng Changsheng shook the pile of commercial performance quotations in his hand again, and said with a smile: "Meifeng, this is all your credit! When Liao Liao comes back, I will give you a celebration banquet!"

Sure enough, at this time, Zhao Meifeng was already angry, and when she heard this, she immediately showed a happy look, and then, she couldn't help but make suggestions, saying: "This is easy to say! However, it's not for me to say, Mr. Zheng, Liao Liao's side, it's really time to arrange an agent, not to mention anything else, just this time she went out to run so many places, just Xiao Huang followed...... That girl is not as old as Liao Liao, and it's hard to say who will take care of each of them! Besides, some lawsuits can't let Liao Liao take care of his arms, and he still has to have an agent!"

Liao Liao's agent...... Of course!

When the contract was signed, like most small and medium-sized record companies, Changsheng Records and Liao Liao also signed two contracts, one is a record contract, the company promised to help Liao Liao produce at least two albums within three years, and give Liao Liao a share according to the sales of the album, in addition, the company is not responsible for giving Liao Liao any salary.

The other is the brokerage contract, which lasts for three years, and within three years, in addition to the share of album sales, the company can directly take 50% of Liao Liao's commercial performance income and concert income!

It's just that before, Liao Liao, who only released a single eP, couldn't have any commercial performance invitations at all, so she didn't have anything else to do except prepare for a new album, and the company didn't arrange any agent for her, just sent Huang Wenjuan, a newcomer who had just entered the company, to her, as an assistant.

But now, the weekly sales of the album "Liao Liao" have exceeded 200,000, even if there is no higher sales in the follow-up, it will not be low!

It's just a record, it's still a bit early to say that it's comparable to the four queens, but at least one line is proper!

So, of course she needs an agent!

And Liao Liao's current position is there, this agent can't be weak!

Otherwise, take a look at those commercial performance invitations, if the agent is weak, these invitations alone can be directly stunned!

Therefore, Zheng Changsheng nodded slightly when he heard this, but he couldn't help but hesitate a little, and finally, he said: "This matter, the arrangement must be arranged, and it should be arranged sooner rather than later, but the candidate is not easy to handle!

Hearing the boss say this, Zhao Meifeng immediately nodded with satisfaction, then quickly stood up and said goodbye, and returned to his usual good old man-like appearance, saying: "Okay, you can decide this matter, I'll go back first, Lele is still waiting for me!"

Zheng Changsheng nodded, reluctantly said a few words, and personally sent her out before coming back.

Then, closing the door, holding those commercial performance invitations in his hand, he couldn't help but smile again.

"This is only one album!" he sighed: "Ten copies that sell for 500,000 are not as good as one that sells for 200,000 yuan in a single week!

After thinking about it, he put down his things, went back to sit down, touched the phone and dialed a number, and after the other party connected, he said directly: "I'm Zheng Changsheng, Lao Liu, Liao Liao is coming back soon?...... Oh, Friday, that's okay, when the time comes, remember to remind me, yes, I'm going to pick up Liao Liao in person! Well, okay! By the way, don't rush to set a date for the programs of the radio and television stations that you contacted before, yes! You remember, now Liao Liao is red, it's not that we asked them to be on the show in the past! Now they all hope that Liao Liao can go to the show...... Yes, you understand!"

Putting down the phone, he leaned comfortably back in the boss's chair, his body swaying slightly, and he couldn't help laughing again.

***

It's more than 5,000 words again, ask for a few recommendation votes!

In other words, many friends suggested that I split two chapters in one chapter, and I knew that it was really conducive to improving clicks and improving grades, but I always felt that I shouldn't interrupt your reading emotions, because I like to read a big chapter by one, and I feel hearty, so unless it's like this chapter, the plot of the envisioned chapter is really incomplete, otherwise, I'm easily reluctant to split the chapter! As for the lost clicks...... If you think the book is good, just give a few more recommendation votes every day, or recommend it to your friends!

Thank you!
