Chapter 562: The Plan Starts
"Mr. Liu, this is this month's sales performance." When Li Xin put a sales report on Liu Yufan's desk, Liu Yufan felt her emotions when she spoke.
Raising his head and seeing the worried look on her face, Liu Yufan couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Mr. Liu, the company's performance this month has fallen by 30 percent, and the white generation has a great resistance to us, and almost all of our records are not optimistic about the sales prospects. They were very targeted, and every time we released an album, they would immediately throw out an album with a similar style to play against us, and they contacted some of the big video stores and retailers, and our new album was put out of the box or not on the shelves at all. Mr. Liu, if this continues for a long time, the impact on the company will be very bad. Li Xin said with a frown.
"White Generation?" Listening to Li Xin's words, Liu Yufan's brows also furrowed.
He naturally knew what Li Jingwen was thinking in his heart. Now Legend Entertainment is a high-quality resource, and the last time I had a bad conversation with him, Liu Yufan expected that he would have a follow-up move, but what he didn't expect was that the Chinese branch of a dignified Baidai company would actually take such drastic measures against a small entertainment company like his Legend Entertainment, which had just started. To be honest, although Legend Entertainment has developed to a certain scale now, there is still a big gap compared to the giant of the White Dynasty, which can be shown from all aspects. The most obvious is the current sales channel, the other party made a small stumbling block for himself in offline sales, which made Liu Yufan feel very uncomfortable. Without the cooperation of sellers, no matter how good the artists under Liu Yufan's company are, the records cannot be sold, and they will not be able to bring profits to the company in the long run. Sooner or later, the company will be crushed.
In fact. In fact, several large record companies, including Rolling Stone and DG, have branches in China. They have all started to notice this emerging little king of entertainment, and their attitude towards legendary entertainment is almost strikingly similar, not too friendly. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is very simple. After all, no one wants one more competitor. Chen Jingwen took the lead in attacking Legendary Entertainment, and although other entertainment companies did not fall into the trap, they were at least happy to see such a situation.
"Mr. Liu, otherwise, I will ask the company's sales department to run more to other retailers? Or the company will engage in a few more publicity activities to create momentum for the artists, which may open up some situations. Seeing Liu Yufan's frowning appearance, Li Xin cautiously suggested. After following Liu Yufan for so long, she knew that the other party was not a boss who couldn't listen to opinions. Therefore, if you have anything in your heart, you dare to bring it up with him.
"No need, Bai Dai has made up his mind. You have to play against us. It must be a good trick, if we engage in publicity. They're going to do it against us. They have a lot of stars in their hands, and their strength is stronger than ours, so if they really want to do this, we won't take advantage of it. It doesn't work. Liu Yufan waved his hand and denied Li Xin's idea.
"So what are we going to do?" Li Xin said a little anxiously.
"Hehe, don't worry, I have a way. Didn't he want to ban me from the entity? It's a big deal that we won't play with him, although the Baidai company is strong, but this brain is still a little old. You go down first, I have my own plans for this matter. Liu Yufan waved his hand and let Li Xin go out first.
Looking at Mr. Liu's confident appearance, Li Xin really couldn't figure it out. Listening to Mr. Liu's meaning, he seems to want to give up the sales of video stores, but this is the main channel for record sales, and if he leaves this area, where is there any market?
What she didn't know was that as a reborn, Liu Yufan's eyes were no longer limited to offline sales, but on the emerging thing that had just risen - the Internet.
"The first year of the 21st century, which can also be said to be the beginning of the Internet age, hehe, these companies probably haven't realized this huge market yet. With the rise of the Internet, the traditional music sales model has gradually died, and online music has become mainstream, and it will not be long before physical records will die, and new mobile music playbacks such as online music and MP3 will take over. Since no one is aware of this yet, let me be the pioneer. Liu Yufan lightly clasped the table with his fingers, and thought to himself.
He still remembers that ten years later, even Liu Huan, the first brother in the mainland music scene, couldn't help but sigh that "the record is dead". When the tide of the Internet came and online music flooded, those small physical video stores closed down one after another, some barely made a living by selling some small MP3s and small household appliances, and more changed careers to do something else. And those singers, especially the original musicians, are having a hard time one by one. A song that was written with great effort was not sold for much money in the end, and as soon as it came out, it was put on the Internet and downloaded for free, which was really uncomfortable.
Liu Yufan wants to take this step first and occupy the position of online music, but he doesn't want online music to develop like it will be in the future again. Liu Yufan feels that the reason why Chinese people are accustomed to looking for "free lunch" on the Internet is precisely because they have not cultivated the habit of paying. Since Liu Yufan has been reborn, he naturally doesn't want the Internet to be like that again, and he has a crazy idea -- to adjust China's Internet and the Internet habits of the Chinese people with his own strength.
While the idea may seem crazy, it's not impossible to do so as a reborn. Liu Yufan already had a rough plan in his heart. Originally, he still wanted to do this after he was busy with the affairs of the training center, but the development of things often did not go as expected. He wanted to follow the steps, but the Baidai company pressed forward step by step, and finally forced him to take this step ahead of schedule.
A few years later, in the face of the situation of the monopoly of the legendary entertainment family, Chen Jingwen sighed in front of people more than once, it was he who released this devil with his own hands, and the regret in his words was undoubted. If God gives him another chance to choose, I believe he will not hesitate to choose to cooperate with Legendary Entertainment, even if it is to eat a small piece of the cake of this huge market, he will be able to eat it. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and he Chen Jingwen can't predict the future, so this has always been the most regrettable thing in his life.
After sending Li Xin away, Liu Yufan made a phone call.
This call was made to Xue Dongzhe.
This buddy who has played with Liu Yufan since he was a child, in the trajectory of his previous life, originally finished his junior high school without panic, and then took over his father's class and became a small boss who sold bicycles. It's just that in this life, under the impetus of Liu Yufan's hands, he has completely deviated from the original development trajectory. Now he has already become a well-known small boss in the garrison camp, with a net worth of millions, and he is a serious character.
There is also Wang Xiaoyong, who has lived next door to Liu Yufan's house since he was a child, and he was born with a smart mind and is good at business, especially good at running business outside. He and Xue Dongzhe ran away and sat in the town, and the two of them can be said to have made the business of Internet cafes very prosperous.
If it seems that two people can come this far, they are already content to the point that they can't do it. Look at it, most of the classmates who grew up with them are still gnawing on books in school, and even if a few go to the sea, most of them are not satisfied, compared to the two of them, it is too far behind. Therefore, the two of them are grateful to Liu Yufan, needless to say, that feeling is in their hearts. It is no exaggeration to say that if their parents give them some advice, they may not listen, and if Liu Yufan tells them what to do, they will definitely not hesitate at all.
These two people can be said to be the team carefully cultivated by Liu Yufan, and they belong to the kind of people who can definitely be trusted.
They thought that their career development had reached its peak by now. But what they don't know is that for Liu Yufan, this is just the beginning.
When Liu Yufan's phone was connected, Xue Dongzhe was playing CS with relish, recently he was obsessed with this game, and he would connect with people when he had time, and in the Internet café, he was already one of the best masters. When Liu Yufan answered the phone, there was a sound of gunfire from the other side of the microphone, which sounded very lively.
"I said Zhezi, can you play less games, don't think about doing something serious in a good time, do you understand the loss of playthings?" Liu Yufan said half-jokingly.
"Ha, I'm not like you, I'm a busy person, I just play two times if there's nothing to do in the Internet café, what's the matter." Listening to Liu Yufan's ridicule, Xue Dongzhe was not angry at all. If this were someone else, I would never dare to talk to him in such a tone. In the Zhuma Camp generation, he is now a real brother on the street, and he has been running an Internet café for so long, and he has long been familiar with the people and things in this area. Even putting aside Ma Wendong's influence, those officials in the town greeted him with a smile when they saw him.
"What's the matter, it's business, how did you and Xiao Yong do with the thing I told you two days ago?" Liu Yufan put away his joking tone and asked formally.
"You'll be able to wait a minute." The sound from the opposite side was a little hurried, and then a violent gunfire was heard, and then Xue Dongzhe's laughter was heard.
"Ha, I said that a few of you can't do it, you're still not convinced, okay, don't play, don't play, don't play, you're too weak, practice hard!" Xue Dongzhe was obviously in a good mood, and after teasing a few words, Fu began to talk to Liu Yufan again.
"That's it, I'm thinking about it, I ran several computer colleges with Xiaoyong last week, and everyone has been recruited, all of them are masters, just waiting for your letter, what? Want to do it? Xue Dongzhe said with a smile.
