Stringer listened to this discussion and smiled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He kind of understood.

Many people don't pre-order because they are afraid that Sony Records will ship on January 9, which will make them arrive at least a day or two later than if they went directly to the record store.

So, they chose to wait until the day of the release to queue up at the record store to buy it.

They thought they would be able to get their beloved records in advance.

"Mr. Stringer, it seems that we are doing the right thing about shipping early." Abigail said.

Stringer nodded and said, "It seems that there will still be a large number of people flocking to the record store today to buy Zheng Xiao's album, or it is possible that there will be a sales explosion." ”

"Yes, yes! Looking at the current situation, there is indeed such a trend. Abigail chimed in.

At this moment, a man's voice rang out: "Aha! Isn't that Mr. Stringer and Mr. Gale? ”

Stringer looked up.

But he saw Gregory Peck, the president of HMV USA, striding towards him.

Stringer also hurriedly greeted: "It turned out to be Mr. Pike!" Good morning! It's a pleasure to meet you! ”

The two shook hands.

Pike then shook Abigail's hand.

"Mr. Stringer, are you here to see the sales of Zheng Xiao's album?" Pike asked.

"Yes." Stringer said.

"The situation is very good! It's just wonderful! Early in the morning, before we even opened, a large number of people rushed over, and there was a long queue in front of the store, and this line was not shortened, and our clerks were very busy, and they kept working, and in two hours, we sold more than a thousand records, which was really a miracle! I never thought that the Chinese boy's album would be so hot, much more popular than Moldy (that is, Swift Taylor)! Gregory Pike babbled.

"Mr. Pike, how are your other stores?" Stringer asked.

"All very good! I've received good news calls from all the chains, where Zheng Xiao's albums are selling very well, and the least selling ones have sold more than 200 albums. Mr. Stringer, I was really fascinated by Satan, when the charming Miss Annabelle came to me, I didn't agree to cooperate with you to hold Zheng Xiao's album pre-sale event, and now, I have suffered retribution! We sold at least 300,000 copies of Existence less than HMV! That's a multi-million dollar sale. I paid a terrible price for my own stupidity and arrogance! Gregory Pike said.

When he said this, he was extremely distressed.

In fact, Gregory Pike hasn't been in a good mood these days.

When he refused Annabelle's request, he thought he had done something wise, but he soon stopped laughing.

He found that Mr. Zheng's English-language album was quickly gaining popularity, with almost every major radio station playing a few of his new album's classic songs, which were broadcast more than a dozen times a day on average.

This is because a large number of listeners have asked these stations to replay the good songs from Zheng Xiao's album.

And the MV tidbits of Zheng Xiao's three songs are also very popular on YouTube, and they have once again become a big hit on YouTube on demand.

At this point, Gregory Peck felt that something was wrong.

After the pre-sale began, Gregory Parker watched as the pre-sale of Zheng Xiao's albums from his rival Virgin Records' chain stores and online stores increased dramatically. His bowels were blue.

He realized that he had made a big mistake: he had taken the Chinese boy too lightly.

"Haha! Mr. Pike, it's no wonder we're at that. Stringer laughed heartily and spread his hands.

He was happy to see Pike regret it.

"Fortunately, after the release of the record, many of our loyal customers still chose our store to buy Zheng Xiao's records, Mr. Stringer, I am proud to say that we have many more loyal customers at HMV than at Virgin." Pike began to talk rhetorically.

"Mr. Pike, we have to go around other places, and we have to ask you to tell us the sales data of your HMV stores after closing today." Abigail said.

"Okay, no problem."

Stringer and Abigail left the HMV flagship store, and in the car, Abigail smiled and said, "Gregory Peck, this old bastard, has always been very cooperative with our requests for various activities, and I am so happy to see him deflated today." ”

"Gregory Peck is a bit stubborn, but he is really good at management and management, and he always builds a strong relationship with his customers, and many of the customers who have come to HMV are used to buying records in their stores, so we still have to work with them more." Stringer said.

"Yes, yes! You are right, Mr. Stringer! ”

Next, the two went to several record stores.

Among them, there are HMV stores and Virgin stores.

Everyone has people waiting in line to buy Zheng Xiao's new album. And people are joining the queue one after another. By the time it was close to noon, the queue was getting longer and longer, and more and more people were pouring in from all over the world to buy records. During this time of work at noon, album sales reached a peak.

Stringer looked at this gratifying scene, and his eyes were a little moist because of his excitement.

Such a hot scene can only appear when people like Michael Jackson, Celine Dion and others release new albums, right?

This is unexpectedly ushered in a big explosion of sales!

Stringer and Abigail had a meal at McDonald's near an HMV store at noon.

Both of them were very excited.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned to Sony Records' headquarters.

On the way back, you can hear shops playing songs from Zheng Xiao's new album everywhere, and on a giant advertising screen, the MV footage of Zheng Xiao's song "Existence" is playing.

This is naturally not an advertisement placed by Sony Records, in fact, Sony will not place such an advertisement, this is completely because the owner of the advertising screen thinks that this MV is very shocking and beautiful, so he puts it on the advertising screen to attract people's attention.

And they don't need to pay Sony copyright fees to play MV tidbits, which is an unspoken rule.

"Mr. Stringer, Zheng Xiao's new album has become popular all over New York, as terrible as the plague, everyone is talking about Zheng Xiao's songs, and the songs from his album can be heard playing everywhere." Abigail said.

"Not just New York, I believe, it's the whole of America that is crazy about Zheng Xiao's album." Stringer said.

Back in the office, it was almost time to get off work.

Stringer wasn't in a hurry to pack his things and go home. (To be continued.) )
