Chapter 631: Selling Well When You Get Cheap (Chapter 1)
As soon as Xu Yinglong hung up the phone, Su Wei called in, and his tone was the same as Wang Hansheng's: "Xu Shao, Master Xu, Uncle Xu, are you finally willing to come back?" β
"What's the matter that makes you anxious like this, I've already seen the sales on the official website, it's good!" Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
"What's good, have you always forgotten our agreement with netizens?" Su Wei Dao.
Xu Yinglong was stunned and asked, "What agreement?" β
Hearing that Xu Yinglong really forgot, Su Wei on the other side of the phone suddenly said in a hurry: "I knew that you kid had forgotten, otherwise he would have appeared so late." Have you forgotten that we agreed with netizens that Tianyinmen has one signed album per person, and one-tenth of the online pre-sold albums must have your autograph, do you calculate how many signatures you need? β
Xu Yinglong was also stunned when he heard this, he knew about this before, he didn't care about it before, it was just some signatures, and at his speed, he could sign thousands of them in an hour. But now that the sales are so explosive, the 4 million sales on the Internet alone have to sign more than 400,000 signatures, plus the tens of thousands of people in Tianyinmen, which means that he already owes more than 500,000 signatures to netizens.
In addition, the part of the album ordered by those celebrity friends is also indispensable to be autographed, although it is not necessary to sign every one, but one-tenth is always guaranteed, after all, people buy his albums to give away.
With so many signatures, even Xu Yinglong would not be able to sign them in a while, and the most important thing is that he doesn't have so much time to do this now, and he has promised Wang Hansheng to send him raw materials immediately. It takes at least five hours to travel back and forth from Tenkai to Kyoto. And Xu Yinglong knew that tomorrow would be the time for the physical store of the album merchant, according to the company's arrangement. Tomorrow he will go to the Xinhua Bookstore in Kyoto to participate in the signing meeting, so when will the five or six hundred thousand signatures be cashed out to netizens and fans!
"It was my mistake. Forget about it! Xu Yinglong said embarrassedly.
"Don't say it's useless, where are you now, I'll pick you up, let's rush to work overnight tonight, how much can be signed, and if it's not enough, I'll make up for it later!" Su Wei Dao.
"This may not work, I have an urgent need to go back to Tianhai now, and I will be back almost after ten o'clock in the evening!" Xu Yinglong said.
"Dizzy, what's the matter so anxious. Can't you let someone else do it for you? Su Wei said helplessly.
Xu Yinglong thought for a while and said: "It's not that I have to go, but if someone else goes, it will be a lot of trouble, and it will be relatively easy for me to deal with it myself!" β
"That's it, or else, I'll send you a batch of finished products now, you fly and sign while flying, how much can you sign, it's done, right?" Su Wei Dao.
Xu Yinglong thought for a while and said, "I'm at home, then you can send someone over now." Send more, I'm useful! β
"How much?"
"Let's get a hundred thousand first!"
"Hundreds of thousands, why are you using so much? Our production capacity is now insufficient, and we have only produced more than 5 million sheets. If it weren't for the online booking that didn't need to be delivered immediately, otherwise we might not even have the products distributed across the country, if your hundreds of thousands are not in a hurry, how about going back to you? Su Wei said.
"If the production capacity is insufficient, find someone else to do the OEM. The hundreds of thousands I want are mainly for my fans, but I can't wait. Xu Yinglong said categorically.
Knowing what Xu Yinglong decided, he was generally unpersuadable. Su Wei could only compromise and said, "Okay, good, I won't miss you." Waiting for me to come over immediately! β
Su Wei's speed is really fast, it only took half an hour from hanging up the phone to the whistle outside the door of the Xu family's mansion, and I don't know how this guy did it.
There are eight cars, one is a Volkswagen Touareg, the remaining seven are Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles, six commercial vehicles are pulling goods, and the other is pulling a group of workers. After moving dozens of large boxes into Xu's house, Su Wei sent the workers back and followed Xu Yinglong back to the house.
The two people in the living room sat down casually, Xu Yinglong didn't serve him tea, he took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator casually, threw one to Su Wei, and asked at the same time: "There should be no problem with the signing side, it has been filed with the police station, don't make a stampede at that time, it will be troublesome?" β
Su Wei immediately said: "Don't worry, how can this kind of thing happen, when the police station will send a few policemen to come over to maintain order for us, after all, it is their jurisdiction, if something really happens, they won't be able to do it!" β
"That's good, by the way, have the specific sales been calculated now?" Xu Yinglong asked again.
"It's been calculated, as of 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the amount of pre-sales is 4.66 million, and the amount booked by stars such as Liu Ge and Wang Ying is 770,000, and we also have to prepare more than 65,000 tickets for the fans of Tianyinmen, so the total amount is about 5.5 million." Su Wei said excitedly.
"So much?"
"Hey, I didn't expect it to be so many, you know, this hasn't been officially sold in physical stores, I really don't know how many albums will be sold in the end? Do you think there will be 10 million? If you really have 10 million sales, you have broken the record of all singers in recent years, and even Dong Chou on the Bay Island can't compare to you."
Seeing that Su Wei was getting more and more excited, Xu Yinglong had no choice but to say: "Stop, stop, what you said is an afterthought, if it really reaches 10 million sales in the future, let's talk about something useful now!" β
"Anything useful, am I talking nonsense now?" Su Wei said dissatisfied.
"In my opinion, it's really some nonsense without any nutrition, and the album is completely predictable to be a big hit, but obviously this hot Cheng dΓΉ exceeded our expectations, and I think we must have been deficient in our preparation in advance. Tomorrow, the album will officially enter the physical store sales nationwide, how are the channels of supply, logistics and other channels prepared? Xu Yinglong asked again.
"As you said, the album was selling well like never before, so we were a little less prepared in a lot of ways. Originally, we expected sales to be three or four million, so we didn't choose to cooperate with those large distribution companies, but bought a small recording company ourselves, which should be able to meet the requirements. But who would have expected that you guy would be against the sky, this is the online pre-sale stage to book 5.5 million copies, which is far beyond our expectations, and also beyond the factory's production capacity. Solvay replied.
"Have you figured out a solution?"
"I have thought of a solution, yesterday I made an overnight appointment with the CEOs of several large record distribution companies in Kyoto, and I have signed a contract with Rolling Stone, and they will urgently record 5 million albums for us, 10% of the sales of distribution expenses!" Su Wei Dao.
"Is it in a hurry?" Xu Yinglong asked again.
"Of course it's not in a hurry, the contract was signed yesterday, even if all kinds of equipment on their side are fine, they have to start work today at the earliest, and we will start selling them nationwide tomorrow, how can it be in time."
Without waiting for Xu Yinglong to ask again, Su Wei explained: "However, we still have more than four million sheets of stock in our warehouse, which was originally prepared for those fans who booked online, but now we have no choice but to use this batch of goods to go up first, and then ship them to netizens when the goods from Rolling Stone are delivered!" β
"Will it be delayed for a long time, if it is too long, the fans will definitely have opinions?" Xu Yinglong asked worriedly.
"It won't be too long, with the strength of Rolling Stone, five million albums will only be a matter of two or three days, and if you work overtime, the time can be shortened. Besides, we have to release more than 5 million albums at once, and we have to check the identity information and addresses of more than 5 million people, which is a lot of work, and netizens will definitely understand us! Solvay comforted himself.
"Understand a fart, this in itself is our poor preparation, what is the matter with other fans? Forget it, this is the only way to do it now, you ask our company's customer service to explain as much as possible to those fans and get their understanding! Xu Yinglong said.
"No problem, I've already explained!"
After speaking, Su Wei smiled again and said: "With today's record industry, who would have thought that we would worry about the output of the album, it is really a scripture that is difficult to read!" β
", you're obviously cheap and good! I'm going to the airport right now, so I'm not going to leave you to eat."
