Chapter 165: Scalpers
After eating, Kayo Kirishima, who took the first step, had to go backstage to the theater to prepare, after all, there was still a performance in the evening. After paying the bill, Takeshita got up and walked out of this French-style restaurant called Champs-Élysées. My biggest feeling is that it is indeed much better than instant noodles.
Takeshita Kusaoke, who walked slowly to the AKB48 Performance Theater, did not rush to the window to buy tickets, but walked directly to the place where related goods were sold. When he stopped, he saw a dazzling array of DVDs, photo photos, fans, t-shirts, scarves, and ...... I really don't know what I need in the face of these things.,It's just to fulfill the promise I promised to Kayo Kirishim.。
"Please give me one of each of the goods related to Kayo Kirishima. Even if she only appears in one shot, one picture, you must not ignore it. Facing the female shopping guide standing inside, Takeshita Grass Mustard, said straightforwardly.
The female shopping guide who nodded at him and had a slight smile on her face was not only quite proficient in business, but also immediately judged from his words that the other party belonged to the audience she liked at the beginning. While selecting the products they need for each other, he briefly communicated and explained to the customer, "You can see that you must be a new die-hard fan of Kayo Kirishima." I would like to point out to you that the things that come with each DVD are different. Do you want a DVD with a handshake ticket inside, or do you want a DVD with a voting ticket inside? The former can be used to enter the venue when AKB48 holds a handshake meeting, so that you can have a close and face-to-face contact with your idol and shake hands as many times as you like, while the latter can be used to vote in the annual general election to help your idol get a position in the coming year, and the number of votes is unlimited. ”
It's not so much a fan of Kayo Kirishima. It is better to say that her friend is the most appropriate Takeshita grass mustard, and I can't help but recall that when I had dinner with her at the Champs-Élysées before, there was a girl who was not quite on the opposite side of her, but said hello to the general election.
As for shaking hands at zero distance or something, she doesn't have any desire, after all, she rents next door. Not only do I see each other almost every day, but I also run to my side to play from time to time. If he really wants to shake hands with Kayo Kirishima, it's a matter of seconds, and he doesn't have to line up just to shake a three, five second.
If you want to shake hands with your favorite idol a few more times, you have to spend more time lining up a few times, after all, you can't use N handshake coupons together to prevent local tyrants from dominating a certain girl. Girls who are less popular don't need to queue for long after a round. But. A popular girl, it takes a long time to shake hands with her, after all, its popularity is high, resulting in a lot of fans.
"Both." Takeshita Kussake, who still insists on buying goods related to Kirishima Kayo, doesn't care if the handshake ticket can be used by himself.
The clear female shopping guide explained to him once again that the price of a DVD was 1,200 yen. In fact, when it comes to every girl who plays the role, I'm afraid there is not much left, after all, lyrics. A lot of copyright fees related to composition and so on were directly taken away first. Japan has done an excellent job of focusing on intellectual property protection, but it is not at all as sad and full of tears as China. Ay. It's ......
The benefits of this protection of intellectual property rights are also obvious, which is completely conducive to the healthy development of the industry, encouraging and promoting more relevant talents to be willing to enter and redouble their efforts, so as to create better works, so that consumers can obtain further high-quality spiritual enjoyment.
To that end, he nodded at her. Takeshita Kusaoke, who said that he understood, thought in his heart that one of his single books was priced at 2,000 yen, and according to the 15% royalty, it was logical to get 300 yen from it. It would not be difficult for him to help Kayo Kirishima significantly increase his ranking in the general election.
Calculated based on 1,200 yen per election ticket. 10,000 tickets is 12 million yen, and 100,000 tickets is 120 million yen. So far, AKB48 has not received more than 200,000 votes for the first place. This fully shows that if a local tyrant wants to pick up a certain girl, there is a possibility, after all, once he makes a move, it will inevitably cause a lot of impact.
The female shopping guide who installed the guest in front of her one by one also calculated the total price. I didn't feel that I had spent unjust money to buy back a lot of Takeshita grass mustard that I didn't need at all, and with a plastic bag in each hand, I turned around and walked to the ticket gate. I found out when I asked myself, and it was sold out a long time ago. Among them, the number of performances performed by trainees is relatively easy to buy. In addition, overseas tickets need to be booked in advance, and even lottery, and one of the theater performances with some popular members is even more popular. He was not disappointed, and firmly believed that there would be a way.
Sure enough, Takeshita Kusaoke, who was deliberately standing not far from the ticket office, soon waited for a strange man wearing a windbreaker with his hands in his jacket pockets, and a strange man in his thirties and forties standing close to his left side and accosting: "Do you want tickets for tonight's AKB48 show?" ”
The first reaction was to understand that the other party was Takeshita Grass Mustard, a "scalper", and the most direct purpose of standing here was to wait for him to come over and sell a ticket to himself. "Scalpers" is not only in China, but an economic phenomenon that can occur in any country in the world. The reason for this situation is that there is an imbalance between supply and demand, and supply is far less than demand. On the contrary, if supply and demand are balanced, or if supply exceeds demand, this economic phenomenon will never occur.
Even if some countries have relatively strict laws and regulations to crack down on "scalpers", it will not help. As the well-known saying in Capital says, if there is a 10% profit, capital is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With 20% of the profits, capital is active; With 50% of the profits, capital is desperate; For the sake of 100% profit, capital dares to trample on all human laws; With a 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of hanging his head.
One of the most typical examples is Prohibition in the history of the United States. The starting point was originally good, but instead of reducing and eliminating the social problem caused by drinking, it contributed to the further seriousness of this social problem, and invisibly helped the gangsters with the nature of "scalpers" to make profits. After the lifting of the prohibition in the United States, the "scalpers" disappeared without a trace. (To be continued.) )
