Last night's indulgence was just a minor reshal in Eric's busy schedule, and he didn't mind the $1 million check he had signed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After all, just like the arithmetic problem he gave Giselle, $1 million is not much different from the $1 of an average person compared to the amount of wealth he has now.

But this check is definitely a different concept for girls.

Sending Eric out of the apartment, Quss Gauff immediately turned to Giselle, looked at the check in her hand expectantly, stretched out her little hand and said, "Giselle, it's really $1 million, let me see it, okay?"

Giselle opened the little paw that Quss Gauff had outstretched and said, "Of course it's true, is Eric going to sign a fake check for me?"

Quss Gauff didn't dare to grab it, and followed back to the bar by the window, but he still didn't forget to correct Giselle and said, "This is for all of us." ”

Giselle sat down at the bar again, shook his head and said, "No, 800,000 of them belong to all of us, and the other 200,000 is my and Ale's pocket money, you just heard." ”

Qusi Gauff's eyes rolled and asked tentatively, "You and Ale still want to share the 800,000 with us?"

"Of course," Giselle said, "we both played the game last night." ”

In the conversation between the two, another girl opened her eyes and sat up, and when she saw the check in Giselle's hand, soon, in the excited screams, all the girls also woke up one after another, and they didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they gathered around the bar and surrounded Giselle in the middle to talk about it.

"Wow, a million. ”

"Eric really redeemed the bet. ”

"How much can we share alone?"

"Looks like there's a shopping trip, right?"

"What about private jets?"

"Stupid, of course the private jet is at the airport, so you can't park in the house. ”

“……”

Looking at the group of chattering girls around him, Giselle suddenly remembered Eric's last words when he left.

Since she had just debuted, even with Eric's support, she could not reach the top circle of the industry at all, and from a few sporadic contacts, she also realized that the already successful supermodel circles of Cindy Crawford and Linda Ivan Greenstad could not accept them.

Most of these girls around her are similar in age to her, and they can also be said to be a group of potential newcomers in the industry, which is why they can play together. In that case, why didn't she set up her own circle, and, of course, she would definitely be what Eric called the 'big sister'. As long as Eric can always support her, her future development will definitely not be limited to just being a supermodel, so these girls around her will definitely be able to help her at that time.

After a quick calculation, Giselle reached out and patted the bar, his eyes swept around, with the momentum of the usual tuning Alexander, and raised his voice: "Okay, shut up." ”

The girls paused, and sure enough, they all stopped talking with interest.

Giselle was very satisfied with the effect, and said: "800,000 US dollars, private jet around the world, Eric has promised to fulfill, if everyone has no problem with their passports, we can leave anywhere in the afternoon." ”

Amid a soft cheer, Giselle continued: "However, you should know the rules, first of all, no one is allowed to talk big about last night's incident. Otherwise, trust me, Eric is just a phone call away, and the agency will terminate your contract immediately, and your career will end here. ”

Although it felt that Giselle was a little pretentious, the girls nodded obediently.

Even if they are not very old, but they can get contracts from international modeling agency giants such as Elite and IMG, this group of girls certainly can't be little chicks who don't know anything. The news of last night's incident will not do them any good, after all, the models in the circle who dared to jump out and expose some things have basically disappeared later.

However, there was also an objection immediately: "Giselle, if we don't say anything, the company won't allow us to go on a trip?"

This is indeed a problem.

Giselle thought for a moment, and some bold thoughts came to his heart, and said: "In this way, I will personally call the boss of the company to talk, as long as they arrange it, even if the agent who is directly in charge of us, can no longer ask about anything." ”

"Giselle, bosses, will they listen to you?"

"Of course, Eric had said it when he left, and if they didn't agree, he would just ask. ”

Giselle nodded firmly, seeing that the girl next to her was still a little hesitant, she also knew that the senior management of the brokerage company was probably the unattainable controller of the entire industry in their eyes, but she didn't bother to explain.

It can be seen from the almost caring reaction of the two major agencies to the two of them after Eric's interest in her and Alexander. Not to mention the rest, take the Victoria's Secret show, which has become a training ground for supermodels, for example, any model agency that wants to send its models to the Victoria's Secret show must invisibly go through Eric's level.

"Giselle, I thought, can I get my share of the money directly, I mean, I've been short of money lately, and I'm still in arrears of rent. ”

The girl's voice was a little low, with a little unconfidence, but it was Fernanda Tavares.

Giselle was already very unhappy with her performance in attracting Eric's attention last night, and said, "Of course, I will give you your share, but you can't go on a trip around the world with us." ”

Fernanda Tavares felt Gisele's dissatisfaction with her, but if she was kicked out of the circle like this, her loss would be significantly greater, so she shook her head decisively and said, "Forget it, I don't want it." ”

Giselle was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and showed his generosity in a timely manner: "Smart choice." ”

The girl, who originally had similar thoughts, heard the conversation between the two and dispelled her thoughts.

More than 50,000 US dollars in cash is of course a huge amount of money for them now, and if they can get their hands on it, they will never spend it all in one go. But they are still young, and they certainly know what to choose between money and opportunity.

Seeing that everyone had no problems, Giselle snorted, reached out in disgust and pulled down a few notes from Fernanda's erect ****, pinched it, and said: "You guys now look and smell like a group of natives who have just run out of the Amazon jungle, go take a bath, and then clean up here." ”

There are always a lot of bathrooms in Western-style apartments, and the girls finally realized their embarrassment at this time, giggling and laughing, and quickly got into different bathrooms.

Confirming the status of his eldest sister, Giselle was very satisfied, picked up the phone on the bar, found the address book, and began to dial the numbers of several brokerage company bosses.

Due to work, the girls basically have multi-national passports, and in the afternoon they flew to Tokyo, the city that Giselle most wanted to visit.

Although compared to ordinary people, girls have many more opportunities to go abroad, but it is basically a fashion season work catwalk, under the company's arrangement, busy for more than ten hours a day, and then sleep in bed, there is no travel at all, this is the first time they can indulge in indulgence.

Eric's subsequent phone call from Elite's CEO, John Casablanca, roughly understood what was going on, but only laughed it off.

He originally wanted to spend a week finalizing the specific plan for Marvel Studios, but it turned out that one week was simply not enough, and there were too many things to discuss. Marvel Studios was concerned with the layout of Firefly's films for at least two decades in the future, and Eric was not willing to be sloppy in any of them, so he remained in New York until late April.

On the other hand, both the Firefly Electronics and Amazon teams were very strong in execution, and three days after the hunger marketing plan was finalized, the plan began to be officially implemented.

Due to the limitation of production capacity and the popularity of sales, the price of Fireflyer players in physical retail stores has basically risen to $329, which is a rule determined by Firefly Electronics after it did not hesitate to stop supplying several retail stores that have arbitrarily increased prices. Despite this, the supply of Fireflyer in physical retail stores is still in short supply.

In this case, Amazon launched a panic purchase plan of 5,000 Fireflyers every three days at the original price of $299, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of consumers.

According to Yahoo statistics, at the beginning of 1997, the number of Internet users with online payment behavior in North America had reached 5 million, although it is still insignificant compared to the total number of Internet users, but this number is also unmatched by all other overseas regions.

Therefore, the first round of Amazon's flash sale event finally took only two and a half hours, and 5,000 Fireflyers were sold out.

With the help of several companies, a large number of media outlets in North America have reported on it.

Subsequently, the second round of panic buying, the time was cut in half.

The third round became 10 minutes.

Hunger marketing is not a novel marketing tool, but it is definitely the first time that it has been put on the table on a large scale to form a social topic.

With the help of this topic, more and more members of the public, whether interested in Fireflyer or not, have inevitably noticed this epoch-making music player product, and potential consumer groups who were originally in a wait-and-see state have also invested in this rush to buy.

When Fireflyer's fourth round of sales opens, the whole process is only a minute. Amazon's online store page has even been stuck due to the influx of too many customers.

The boom in online sales has also stimulated physical sales, and although the price is $30 higher than that of Amazon's store, most retail stores have sold out almost as soon as they put the new Fireflyer on the shelves, and it is no surprise that a large number of scalpers have spawned.

Immediately, some media began to question that this was a joint hype between Amazon and Firefly Electronics, and the sales volume of the online store Fireflyer was far less than announced to the public.

Amazon quickly clarified, without revealing the privacy of customers, directly posted the transaction record of each rush purchase on the homepage of the website.

Fireflyer is always out of stock The situation inevitably causes some users to be disgusted, and Firefly Electronics has spared no effort in public relations about this, not only explaining in detail the causes and consequences of Fireflyer's capacity limitation on the Yahoo portal, but also opening a special product homepage to report to users in real time the progress of the preparation of Fireflyer's new factory and other product-related news, and from time to time to have some interesting and reward-winning interactions with fans.

Under this close and tacit cooperation, the brand image of Fireflyer has gradually become ingrained in the hearts of consumers, and Amazon has become the biggest external beneficiary in this process, due to the popularity of hunger marketing, Amazon's single-day traffic has increased by 50% in just two weeks, Jeff Bezos decisively changed the original plan, taking this opportunity to start introducing more product types.

In addition to Firefly Electronics and Amazon, Yahoo's online music store has also achieved impressive sales results.

Since the Yahoo Music Box does not have Fireflyer, the purchased music can be played directly on the personal computer, and even has a burning function, therefore, after the sale of the Yahoo Music Store and FireFlyer at the same time, after the "Titanic" digital soundtrack album, Superboy, Driven by Madonna and other artists' albums, it took only 5 days for the Yahoo Music Store to sell a total of 1 million songs, which far exceeded the expectations of everyone in the industry.

At this rate of sales, Yahoo Music Box can achieve sales revenue of at least $70 million or more in the first year, and it has to be said that this data is still very obvious for driving the overall revenue of Yahoo Network. After all, before the IPO, Yahoo definitely needs a relatively good annual financial report.

The Yahoo Music Store's sales figures far exceeded expectations, and the tightest was undoubtedly the major record labels. After all, the CD burning function provided by Yahoo Music Box software is almost equivalent to directly destroying the original ecology of the record industry. Before that, the average price of a music album record on the market was around $20, but the Yahoo Music Store has reduced this price by half at once. Even if the $7 or so per digital album that a product company gets from the Yahoo Music Store is not much less than the profit from selling a physical product, the big record companies are still the enemy.

Two weeks after Sony made that statement earlier this month, Sony Records, along with two other record giants, BMG and EMI, filed a lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco, demanding a ban on the production and sale of MP3 players for spreading piracy. (To be continued.) )
