Chapter 337
Although Du Lan promised Liang Xiaojing on the surface, in fact, Du Lan's heart was not as calm as her face, but a little uneasy. After all, if she suddenly came here so quietly, she would still be worried that her eldest brother would worry and blame herself after knowing the truth, and it was indeed inappropriate not to greet her brother in advance.
Therefore, Duran secretly planned in his heart that after arriving in the island country, it was best to contact the eldest brother as soon as possible, say hello to the eldest brother, admit his mistake, and inform the eldest brother of the purpose of their desire to snap up "Courage".
Fortunately, the island country has already established diplomatic relations with China, and all Chinese citizens, as long as they have a valid passport, can go directly to the island country without a visa. This also saved Duran and the others a lot of time and trouble.
The most important thing is that the island country has always had a good reputation in the international community in terms of law and order, and the war with South India has been over for a long time, and peace and stability have long been restored, so Duran and Liang Xiaojing dared to leave the island country to snap up music albums. Duran had this luck in his heart, hoping that his brother would not think that the island country was not suitable for them to go to.
Of course, in addition to the need to report to her brother, if Duran wants to stay in the island country with Liang Xiaojing for a little longer, so that she can know more news about Lu Dao up close, she still has to find Du Le.
Because, Duran, who is just a student in school, has little cash on his body at this time, because he has bought a plane ticket, so he has little money left except for the money he is going to give to the music album, let alone want to stay in the island country for a few days. So, after arriving in the island nation. Duran had to turn to Big Brother for help.
But what Duran didn't expect was that after arriving at the island plane, Duran immediately called Duran, but he didn't think that he couldn't get through at all.
Seeing this, Duran thought that he would have to try to contact his eldest brother later. Fortunately, most of the passengers on the same plane had the same purpose as Duran and them, so Duran and Liang Xiaojing followed the "big army" and walked out of the airport together, took the shuttle, and went to the center of the island country.
in the city of the island nation. There are not many retail stores for audio-visual products. There are even fewer large retail stores. Because Du Le had mentioned Noriko Oda in advance in view of the pomp and circumstance caused by "Quiet", and Sky Star Entertainment Company expected that "Courage" would inevitably cause a huge sensation, so Sky Star Entertainment Company also focused on studying the countermeasures with limited release points before the album was released.
Really. Skystar Entertainment didn't guess wrong. According to the entry and exit records of the island country. The number of tourists to the island nation has surged to more than 70,000. On the registration form distributed in the entry and exit, there is a column to indicate the purpose of coming to the island country, and at least more than ninety percent of the tourists have the same answer. Either to buy the new single "Courage", or to catch a glimpse of "Z" or to find out his latest news.
In the face of such a grand scene, although Noriko Oda also understands that the purpose of most tourists coming to the island country to snap up music albums is obviously not for her music, but Noriko Oda still can't suppress the excitement in her heart. Because the company's strategy this time is to bundle its album with the single "Courage", although its album is not as sensational as Z's music, as long as the fans who come to "Courage" are equivalent to buying their own albums, and they have the opportunity to make their music known.
Noriko Oda is not very demanding, as long as 10% of the fans who like "Courage" also like her songs, she thinks it will be a success.
Noriko Oda's mentality is changing, she is no longer just a pure singer, but also a company owner. Therefore, Noriko Oda devoted herself wholeheartedly, not only for the development of her personal career, but also to open up the future of Tianxing Entertainment Company.
In terms of the marketing strategy for the first release of the album this time, the management of Tianxing Entertainment Company after detailed analysis and discussion, they all believe that the population of the island country is not large, and the market is not large, although the company has produced 200,000 special albums for this debut, but it is estimated that it will not reach 100% sales. Therefore, Tianxing Entertainment Company announced that the 200,000 first albums will not be limited to only being sold in island countries, but will set aside a part of the number and sell them all over the world.
As soon as the news was announced, in addition to Z's music fans, music album publishers from all over the world came to the door, hoping to establish a cooperative relationship with Tianxing Entertainment Company and obtain the sales agency rights of "Courage" in their home countries.
For these requests, Noriko Oda neither refused nor agreed.
The last "Tranquility" proved the magic of Z. So with the release of this "Courage", no one will question its hot sales. I believe that even if Tianxing Entertainment is wholesale at the original price, these issuers waving checks will not blink an eye. Because, these albums are non-reproducible and cannot be pirated.
Therefore, in addition to the fact that the audio-visual product retail stores in the island country can directly purchase a small number of albums from the Star Entertainment Company for sale, the Star Entertainment Company has also specially prepared a public sale location to concentrate on selling the music albums of the Star Entertainment Company.
The location of this sale location was key, as it had to be a public place that could accommodate the largest number of people in the first place. Therefore, Tianxing Entertainment Company chose the square of the government building of the island country.
In this square, Tianxing Entertainment Company has set up a total of three temporary points, made a clear layout of entry and exit, and arranged several stations that can release albums at the same time to ensure that music fans can queue up to buy albums in an orderly manner. In this regard, the Sharif government, which has always supported all the commercial activities of Tianxing Entertainment Company, has also specially dispatched police and armed forces to strictly prevent chaotic and uncontrollable scramble scenes, so as to ensure the personal safety of music fans who come to buy albums and all staff in the square.
After Du Le instructed Sharif behind his back to complete the preliminary discussion with the representatives of Country M on the transaction of the fighter production line, he thought about taking the time to see the progress of Noriko Oda's side first. He was busy all the time, and he didn't remember to take his phone out of the space to check it, but he missed Duran's call.
At this time, he was standing on the sixth floor of the island government building with Noriko Oda, looking at the scene in the square of the building at his feet.
Although the album's first release was bound to cause a sensation, the result was something that all people at Star Entertainment could have predicted. But at this time, the number of people who appeared in the government square was still far beyond Noriko Oda's imagination, and it also surprised Du Le.
"I didn't expect Z to have so many fanatical fans, and they flew thousands of miles from all over the world to the island country." Noriko Oda was amazed.
"It seems that music not only has no borders, but also no astral borders." Du Le also sighed. What Du Le thought in his heart naturally meant that although the true identity of "Z" was not an earthling, the music he created was even infatuated by earthlings. It's really breaking all the boundaries of space.
"What?" Noriko Oda didn't understand Du Le's next sentence.
But Naturally, Douler did not intend to explain. He just smiled and changed the subject lightly. said to Noriko Oda: "This time the release went smoothly, not only Tianxing Entertainment is bound to become famous, I believe you will definitely be recognized and loved by music lovers around the world." In time, you're bound to become an international star. ”
Noriko Oda heard this. said modestly: "I don't dare to boast about this Haikou." I'm just relying on Z's fame to hype. ”
Suddenly. Noriko Oda had an idea, blinked and asked Du Le: "Since the company has signed Z, can I also meet Z-kun himself." To tell you the truth, I'm actually a die-hard fan of him. ”
When Du Le heard this, he said helplessly: "Z's whereabouts are uncertain, and he often disappears mysteriously, saying that he is full of people in the world to understand life." I can't find him unless he contacts me. ”
Noriko Oda's face collapsed when she heard this, and she whispered in disappointment: "Alas, it's a pity, Z-kun can really be called a great musician, it's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to meet him." ”
Du Le smiled secretly in his stomach, and said no more. This thing, the more you explain it, the more difficult it becomes, it's better not to explain it, and it can still make people guess.
Noriko Oda was so regretful, but it immediately turned into worry, she hesitated, but still said to Du Le: "If Z really doesn't show up like this, we Tianxing Entertainment won't be able to explain to the fans at all, won't we become the target of the public?" ”
"Don't worry, Tianxing Entertainment Company is in an island country, and the government of the island country supports us so much, there will be no problem." Du Le was not worried at all.
However, Du Le overestimated his own ability with the island nation, and also underestimated the madness of his fans. As the hour passed, the pre-sale time was getting closer and closer, and what Doile had not estimated happened.
In the entire square, the crowd gathered suddenly surged in a short period of time, and it is estimated that it has exceeded 20,000! The entire government building was tightly surrounded in front of the building, and the whole square was full of people.
The island nation had never encountered such a scene, and the number of town guards and reservists sent by the Sharif government was only 500. Despite their high vigilance with pistols and batons, they were only a drop in the bucket and almost didn't get overwhelmed by the crowd. If it weren't for the clear uniforms and conspicuous equipment, it is estimated that it would be impossible to distinguish who from whom.
Standing on a high place, Du Le is also aware of the seriousness of the problem and the potential crisis. Because at this time, the police force in the entire square is not enough for one-fortieth of the whole square, and some music fans who came too early have been a little impatient because of the long wait. With such a huge crowd, once there is any spark induced, the emotions of the crowd will definitely be out of control, and when the time comes, not to mention that these guards can play a role, it is fortunate that they are not trampled to death.
Du Le immediately and decisively called Sharif and asked Sharif to send more men to the square at once.
After a while, the scheduled release time arrived, and the packaging version of the compilation album "Courage" and "Self Change" officially went on sale......
Exotic, Han Kingdom, Yunzhou, North Jade City.
Different from the small city of South Yucheng, the North Jade City, which has a population of more than 200,000, can be said to be the center of Yunzhou.
After a month of governance, Du Le personally came to the North Jade City. After Du Le defeated the Ming State in the Han State and let the Ming State cede Yunzhou, he always had high hopes for Yunzhou. He most wanted to see the development of the northern part of Yunzhou, especially the North Jade City.
Tule always had a feeling that the turmoil in Africa on the earth would not be subsided in a short period of time, and that the situation was very likely to become a lasting turmoil.
If there is protracted turmoil in Africa, there will inevitably be a large part of the African region that will fall into a food crisis.
If the Yunzhou farm develops smoothly, maybe when the time comes, it will be able to help Africa.
Du Le was led by Wei Quzhi and Nangong Yan. Weifu walked on the streets of Beiyucheng and inspected the people's conditions.
Since receiving the order from the head of the country to inspect Beiyucheng, Wei Quzhi and Nangong Yan have been very nervous, and they are also nervous to follow behind Du Le at this time.
Especially Nangong Yan, since he was transferred from South Jade City to North Jade City to serve as the city guard of North Jade City, he knew that this was his opportunity. If he can manage Beiyucheng well, he can prove his governance skills to the Han Kingdom, and his position in the Han Kingdom can be stable.
Du Le saw that the residents of Beiyucheng were living a stable life, and the shops were open for business as usual. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your governance ability is good. can restore Northern Jade City to normal order so quickly. ”
"The ministers are not talented, they are all the wisdom of the lord." Nangong Yan said with a look at his words.
"No need to shirk, this is your credit, and the Bureau of Statistics will record it. Be your merit. Du Le said with a smile.
Nangong Yan was very moved in his heart. He didn't expect the lord of the kingdom to praise him personally. There was an urge in my heart to do my best for Du Le. This is the feeling he has never had in Mingguo.
Du Le didn't know Nangong Yan's heart, but he was very satisfied to see the excitement on Nangong Yan's face. Considered before. Nangong Yan is the most popular among the officials of the Ming Kingdom, and making him the city guard of Beiyucheng has an extremely positive effect on pacifying the entire Yunzhou. Moreover, Nangong Yan passed the assessment of the Bureau of Statistics and officially became a qualified Hanchen, so Du Le naturally let him try.
After walking around the two streets, Du Le was satisfied with the stability of the North Jade City.
"How's the farm system going?" Du Le asked.
Nangong Yan glanced at Wei Qu's illness and said, "It's not going well. "Why?" When Du Le heard this, his face suddenly changed.
"Yunzhou, especially the Hao clan in the north of Yunzhou, is so strong that they have adopted an attitude of non-resistance and boycotted the farm." Nangong Yan said with a wry smile: "It is also very difficult to implement the employment system, because even the slaves themselves are unwilling to go to the government to sign the employment contract, let alone the slave owners. In fact, in private, the deed of sale is still the mainstream. ”
"Didn't you tell them that the Han Kingdom does not recognize the deed of sale?" Dule said.
"A deed of sale is a conventional contract, and it is difficult to abolish it in a short period of time." Nangong Yan replied.
Du Le smiled coldly and threatened: "I don't care about the question of whether it is a convention or not, Yunzhou belongs to the Han Kingdom, and the laws and regulations of the Han Kingdom must be obeyed by Yunzhou." Any violation of the laws and regulations of the Han Kingdom must be severely punished. All laws must be strictly enforced, and anyone who does not obey them is to be thrown into the mines of the military city, where there is a great shortage of manpower. ”
Nangong Yan heard the coldness in Du Le's words, and his heart trembled.
"Wei Quai, you try your best to assist Nangong Yan in completing this task. In addition, another decree was issued that no one except the official could possess a sword. Anyone who brought a sword to the street without official permission from the Han State was arrested and brought to justice. Du Le saw several young men wearing swords on the street, arrogantly passing by him and entering a restaurant.
Nangong Yan also saw these young people and explained: "These people are all wealthy families in North Jade City. ”
Du Le nodded, didn't say a word, and went straight behind these young people and entered the restaurant together.
Seeing this, Nangong Yan hoped in his heart that these young people would not do anything that angered Du Le.
Nangong Yan didn't know the identity of these sword-wielding youths. It's just that the Nangong family itself is a big family in Yunzhou of the Han Kingdom, and it has been married to some big families in Yunzhou, and these families who are in-laws with the Nangong family, especially those in the North Jade City, learned that Nangong Yan became the city guard of the North Jade City, and acted in the North Jade City, which was inevitably a little ostentatious.
Nangong Yan was mainly worried about whether these young people would implicate him if they accidentally caused trouble.
The restaurant is divided into two floors, with a lot of space and many customers. These young men entered the restaurant and went directly to the second floor. I sat down by the window on the street, and talked loudly and unbridled as if no one was around.
They also went up to the second floor together and sat down at a table not far from the young men. Shortly after he sat down, Du Le was attracted by the conversation of these young people.
"What do you say Nangong Yan wants to abolish the deed of sale, without the deed of sale, how should we run the huge family business."
"Hmph, they are perverse, and many big families have made it clear that they will never abolish the deed of sale. What if the deed of sale is not recognized by the government, as long as our clan elders admit it. ”
"Yes, as long as several of our big families are united, what slave will dare to openly oppose us."
"What a mercenary system, it's bullshit! With a few casual words, the patriarch can send Nangong Yan away. ”
It turned out that these six young people were discussing the policy of the Han State in Yunzhou. In their eyes, the new policy of the Han State harmed their interests, and their interests were the root of Yunzhou's interests.
The more Du Le listened, the more ugly his face became.
Nangong Yan didn't expect that these big families in Yunzhou were only delaying in front of him and did not explicitly oppose it, but in private, they had already deceived him like a fool.
"I asked you to manage Beiyucheng because I wanted you to strictly enforce all the policies of the Han Kingdom, not to let you implement any benevolent government." Du Le said in a cold tone.
Nangong Yan was sweating profusely, and said in fear: "Minister, guilty." ”
"I won't blame you, but you have to understand one thing. I will never tolerate any opposition to the Han government. The farm system should be fully implemented, and the same should be true of the employment system. Du Le said dissatisfiedly, "Wei Quai, from now on, you will lead the troops to cooperate with Nangong Yan." For some large households, a list was drawn up and raids were carried out, and as long as there were slaves in the family but they were not registered with the government, they were all severely punished. The Juncheng Mines won't be able to accommodate them. ”
"My lord, it is easy to have an unjust case in this way, what if the 'slave' caught is only a guest or relative visiting a friend?" Nangong Yan said boldly.
"No matter, let's catch the military city first. Without a third-party guarantee, and without anyone to prove their blood relationship, they were not released and let them do hard labor for a year. Any act of rebellion against the government will be arrested, and those who behave badly will be directly killed. Du Le said mercilessly. (To be continued......)
