"What's wrong Lang Lang, you don't seem to be very happy?" Mother Chen looked at her frowning son and asked.

"Lang Lang Qiankun sold more than 1 million copies in Taiwan and Southeast Asia." Chen Lang said.

"Really, so much was sold! Isn't that great, so why are you still sad? Chen Yun said suspiciously.

"But only 200,000 records have been sold in Japan, and Japan is a huge consumer market, and it is not as popular as Hong Kong." Chen Lang said bitterly.

"I thought what was going on, this is normal, there are not many Chinese singers who can sell well on Japanese records now, Teresa Teng's sister is one, but she quit the Japanese music scene because of that incident, and the sales of other people in Japan are not high." Sister Chen Yun said.

"Lang Lang, there is a process for everything, the results you have achieved now are beyond the reach of many people in a lifetime, and you are still so young, you will definitely be able to sell higher sales in the future, the most important thing is to be down-to-earth, step by step, take every step well, you can go further." Father Chen looked at Chen Lang and said seriously.

Chen Lang heard his father say the same, it seems that his development is really too smooth, and with the golden finger as a backer, it is a little inflated. Now I encounter a little twist and turn, in fact, it may not be a twist and turn for others at all, so I am a little arrogant and even conceited.

Chen Lang shook his head to make himself sober, put aside those thoughts of ascending to the sky in one step, and felt better when he thought that he was only 16 years old and that the future still belonged to him.

Then he said to his family with a smile, "Maybe it's because I've always developed relatively smoothly, so I'm a little arrogant, but fortunately, this time it gave me a lesson, it's better to take it step by step." ”

"That's right, you're still young anyway, as long as you walk steadily. The future is yours after all. Mother Chen touched Chen Lang's head and said.

"By the way, the release of "Lang Lang Qiankun" in Japan requires me to do publicity, and Huaxing Company also hopes that I can cooperate, can I go to Japan?" Chen Lang looked at his parents and asked hopefully.

"Of course you can, now that it's all on holiday, you can go, I can rest assured that Shufen is with me, but it is best to be able to come back before the 24th Chinese New Year's Eve, and the family must be reunited for the New Year." Chen's mother said, and Chen's father also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll let Sister Chen arrange it." Chen Lang said happily when he heard that he could go to Japan, and then called Chen Shufen back. "Sister Chen, my parents agreed, but I have to rush back before the 24th Chinese New Year's Eve, and I have something to do tomorrow, so it's best to go to Japan the day after tomorrow."

"Don't worry, it will definitely not delay everyone's New Year, then the day after tomorrow, we will set off for Japan together on the 18th, and then come back on the 22nd, how about it?" Chen Shufen asked.

"Yes, I don't have a problem." Chen Lang said.

"That's okay, I'll contact the Japanese side and hang up first." Chen Shufen hung up the phone after speaking.

Then the family began to have dinner, and after dinner, Chen Lang continued to write "Buddha is the Way", striving to finish it as soon as possible, and there are still a lot of things to be busy after the New Year.

The next day, Chen Lang continued to exercise in the morning as always, and after coming back from dinner, he continued to write a novel at home, but when it was only about eight o'clock, the doorbell rang.

Chen Lang opened the door and saw that it was Li Yuan, who had made an appointment with him, "Uncle Li, you are here, please come in." ”

After Li Yuan entered the room, he sat down on the sofa, took the tea handed over by Chen Lang and said, "I came here today mainly to tell you two things. ”

"Tell me anything." Chen Lang said bluntly.

"The first thing is about the product periphery of "Zhu Xian", those dolls, toys, dolls, model posters, etc. have already been done, and they have been sold for a while, but how to say it, there is a gap between the sales situation and expectations, and the main manifestation is that the difference is relatively large, there is no loss, but there is no money." Li Yuan said with a wry smile.

"yes, my mom didn't even talk to me about it, what is the situation?" Chen Lang recently participated in concerts and won awards, so he almost forgot about it.

"Zhu Xian" peripheral products in the dolls, ornaments, posters are selling well, but toy models are basically not sold, I analyze that I think the people who read the novel and comic "Zhu Xian" should be slightly older students, like your size should not be very fond of playing with toys.

If it is a child who is only a few years old, it may sell well, but he is too young to understand "Zhu Xian", so the toy model sells very badly. Li Yuan analyzed.

"It probably is." Chen Lang was a little helpless, it seemed that he was still too anxious, and when he thought of peripheral products, he would produce everything, but he forgot to analyze the specific situation, it seems that he has to be cautious in the future, don't make it difficult for him to lose money in the end.

"This time I made a mistake in my estimation." Chen Lang also generously admitted his mistake.

"I can't blame you, after all, everyone agreed to start production, and except for the toy models, the other peripherals are selling very well, but this time it doesn't make as much money as before, but it still makes some money." Li Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"As long as I don't lose money, then I feel better." Chen Lang heard that he still made money, so he was relieved. "By the way, Uncle Li, what's the second thing?"

Li Yuan reached out and took out a check from his suit and handed it to Chen Lang, "This is the money my friends earned from using Lang Lang's products designed by you, and the dividends you will give you are fifty-fifty cents, so far it is so much." ”

Chen Lang looked at the piece of paper in his hand carefully, but was taken aback, only to see that the check said 2350000, these small commodities have only been sold for a few months, and the price is not too high, the net profit actually reached 5.7 million, which is too much and too fast.

Seeing Chen Lang's surprised expression, Li Yuan said with a smile, "My friends have a wide range of relationships, there are people who take goods in all regions of Hong Kong, and the goods are distributed all over Hong Kong, and there are dozens of stores, although each of them is not as popular as your Lang Lang Qiankun, but it is still very popular with its novel and fashionable design."

However, this also has timeliness, the first two or three months of sales were very hot, and now everyone no longer feels fresh, and the market is almost saturated, the income has dropped a lot, and it is unlikely that there will be such a large sales in the future. ”

Chen Lang nodded after listening to the explanation, it is still a matter of creativity, often an idea, even if the technical content is not high, can bring a lot of income, "Then I will be disrespectful, thank you Uncle Li and a few of your friends." ”

After Chen Lang finished speaking, he stared at Li Yuan, waiting for him to make a condition. But then Li Yuan just chatted with Chen Lang, chatting from Tiannan to Haibei, Li Yuan was well-informed, Chen Lang was informative, and the two chatted speculatively, but Chen Lang was strange in his heart, why didn't Li Yuan speak.

Li Yuan, who is sophisticated in the world, saw Chen Lang's doubts and guessed Chen Lang's thoughts, but he also promised not to reveal it, so he chatted with Chen Lang for a while and then left, Chen Lang sent Li Yuan out of the door in confusion and asked, "Uncle Li, you don't have anything else?" ”

"Not really, okay, I'll go first, and I'll visit next time." After speaking, he left, leaving the tangled Chen Lang.

By the time Chen's father came back, Li Yuan had already left, and Chen Lang told him about it, and Chen's father was also very puzzled, he really couldn't think of a reason, and in the end the father and son had to give up, it was the old way to adapt to the situation.

In the evening, Chen Lang called to tell Tang Xiaomei that he was going to Japan to publicize the matter, and he couldn't accompany her, Tang Xiaomei generously expressed her understanding and told Chen Lang to take care of herself, Chen Lang felt very lucky to meet such a knowledgeable girlfriend.

At home, Chen's mother and sister Chen Yun were helping Chen Lang pack up the clothes and personal items needed for this trip, and then there was a burst of advice, listening to Chen's mother's nagging, Chen Lang was a sweet wry smile, and could only nod constantly to say that he had written it down and would definitely take care of himself.

The mother of the child is worried that Chen Lang in his previous life sometimes feels that his mother is too nagging, but he will only know how to cherish it after he loses it, so he looks at the busy figure in front of him, and the nagging in his ears keeps nagging, although his face is a wry smile, but his heart is full of emotion.

Early the next morning, Chen Lang got into Huaxing's special car and went to the airport with Chen Shufen and Xu Fang.

"By the way, Sister Chen, which record company is Huaxing's partner company in Japan?" Chen Lang didn't think about this question until now.

"It's Japan's EMI Records." Chen Shufen said.

"This is one of the four largest record companies in the world." Chen Lang said when he heard this.

When it comes to Japan's record company, Chen Lang's first thought is Sony, but at this time, Sony has only invested in Columbia Records in the United States, and has not yet fully controlled or acquired BMG, and it is not the world's largest record company in the future.

"It's really the Big Four, but it's only a Japanese branch." Chen Shufen said with a smile.

"Hehe, how is the itinerary arranged in Japan for the past few days?" Chen Lang asked.

"It's basically to participate in Japanese song charts, promote records and the single "billiejean", and at the same time, EMI also arranged a few Japanese fan meetings with Lang Lang." Chen Shufen introduced.

"And a fan meeting?" Chen Lang said curiously.

"Of course, you amazed the whole of Asia in the finals of the Asian Amateur Singing Competition last year, and with your delicate and handsome face, there are still a lot of fans. Otherwise, how could there be 200,000 record sales? Chen Shufen teased with a smile.
