Volume 1, Reliving 02 Chapter 51 The Past of June
After a month of fermentation, the sales popularity of the "My Sky" album has dropped a lot, unlike when it was first released, the media was overwhelming with news about this album. However, the sale continued, and in just one month, a total of 450,000 copies were sold, creating a rather terrifying miracle.
This is already very good for a newcomer band that has just debuted. Moreover, this sales volume also set a new monthly sales record and weekly sales record for domestic newcomers' debut, which can be regarded as a quite eye-catching achievement.
However, don't think that this sales are very strong, but relatively speaking, this achievement in China is okay, and in the world, it is not even related to feathers.
Not to mention anything else, MJ's ten-minute sales are probably this number. Selling 750 million records a year is not a joke, even in later generations, an album from a popular little fresh meat can exceed one million copies in one hour on the three major platforms. So this sales can only be regarded as a drizzle, and it is not a special achievement.
But even so, it can also push the new era to the point of quasi-first-line singers, you know, Zhang Ziqi has accumulated two years, released six albums in a row, close to 70 songs, and a total of more than 1.2 million sales, before reaching this point, but the new era relies on inspirational songs, plus just stuck in the time of the college entrance examination, the time and place are favorable, and it is almost very smooth. Now in the streets and alleys of the country, there are two hit songs of my sky and running everywhere, plus the income brought by wireless, the company's net profit this month has exceeded more than 4 million, and this number is still growing rapidly, because there are many people who set these two songs as mobile phone ringtones.
In addition to the new era, this month Lin Ming also asked Peng Chen to register a network technology company, called Mingran Technology.
Lin Ming invested 500,000 yuan and registered in the name of Peng Chen, he served as a legal person, accounting for 30% of the technical shares, and Lin Ming accounted for 70%. In fact, Peng Chen was reluctant at first, the first was that he was unsuccessful, and he had a little uneasy conscience about holding 30% for no reason. The second is that the treatment of the peach wood company is very good, and he doesn't want to leave.
However, when Lin Ming told him that although the company was registered, the company's office was still in Taomu, and Taomu also paid his salary, Peng Chen readily agreed.
The pie in the sky should not be in vain.
But he didn't know that it was a loss-making business.
Because Lin Ming only gave him 30% of the shares, and would guide him to continue his successful experience to this network company in the future, it is equivalent to 70% of the property of Yuchen Technology in the future was stolen by Lin Ming, and he directly took most of his future net worth, and now he is still helping Lin Ming count the money, this transaction is naturally a loss.
Fortunately, Peng Chen didn't know his future experience, otherwise he would definitely vomit blood in anger and scold Lin Ming for being unscrupulous and black-hearted. But now, Peng Chen, who doesn't know the inside story, is holding the so-called entrepreneurial capital of 500,000 yuan and happily engaging in network technology.
In 02, the registered company must have a registered capital to pay up. But it's just a cutscene, and you can take it out at any time after registration, so the 500,000 can be used directly.
The first is to purchase and operate the server, and the second is to keep the server operation and maintenance, which can be used for a long time.
After all, the salary of three people is peach wood hair.
As for where Lin Ming got the 500,000 yuan, it naturally came from this month's dividend.
This month, Taomu Company plus other income, such as the wireless income of the original song, the company's share of the artist's performance on stage, etc., is about 800,000 yuan, plus the album's more than 4 million, the total income is close to 5 million yuan. It's just that 1.2 million of them are used by the company to reward the new era and the dividends that should be given to them. After all, they signed a second-tier singer contract, not the kind of slave contract that works for nothing, and they have album sales share income. The remaining 3.8 million can be used for company distribution, but generally this money will be placed in the company as liquidity to continue to expand the scale. This is also a decision that was discussed by the three shareholders at the beginning, and after Lin Ming came, he was originally going to continue according to this rule.
Because the other three people continue to put their money in the company, it is equivalent to continuing to invest more, and logically speaking, they want to increase their shareholdings. Lin Ming took the money away, and the others kept the money to continue to invest in the company, how should this account be calculated? So at the beginning, Lin Ming also agreed to continue to invest the money in the company.
But with the advance of the network plan, he had to need a sum of money for capital operation, so he wanted to take out the money. After Lin Ming put forward this idea, the three shareholders were quite talkative, and did not reduce their holdings of Lin Ming's shares, but used them as songs to distribute dividends.
In the contract signed by Lin Ming, there is a song dividend. The so-called song dividends mean that as the original author and copyright owner of the song, part of the album dividends sold are rewarded to him.
It is equivalent to the part that the new era deserves, but it is not as exaggerated as more than 1 million, and there is only about 5% of the commission, which translates to about 200,000.
This percentage is quite high, after all, the money to sell a song..... Probably only a tenth of this.
The remaining 300,000 is considered to be an advance share.
It was the draw of the 5 golden albums in July, "My Sky" was a huge success, and the three shareholders are now completely like babies for Lin Ming, and they will basically agree to the excessive requests. That is, Lin Ming has created huge benefits for the company, and if others want to do this, the three shareholders are too lazy.
In addition to creating a new technology company and asking Peng Chen to make a music website according to his previous vision. For a whole month, the company worked desperately overtime for five new albums. But this has nothing to do with Lin Ming, he only provides songs, harmony arrangements and MVs, and he doesn't participate in it.
The outside world now has a new understanding of Taomu Company, and they have begun to pay attention to this young company that has only been established for three years. Not only did "My Sky" achieve great success, but also because of Lin Ming's group of friends' playing sadistic songs, the click-through rate skyrocketed.
Without any recommendation and moisture, relying on the click-through rate alone, it was directly rushed to the homepage of the three major portals (Penguin did not have a portal at this time) and the ninth popular search ranking of Qiansou. This achievement alone is enough to make many people proud.
The main reason is that entertainment in this era is relatively scarce, and it is not as dazzling as the information explosion in later generations. Once a good work comes out, it is easy to make a splash on major websites and forums.
For example, "The Legend of Wukong" released on Sina in 2000 and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" released in Tianya in 2006 are examples of this.
Once it causes a sensation on the three major portals, it will naturally be known by the mass of netizens.
In just one month, the click-through rate even exceeded the original video of Lin Ming's third middle school, and the three websites combined reached an astonishing 3 million views. You know, this was in '02, not in 2018. The data is genuine, proving that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of the more than 50 million netizens have watched this video......
There are mixed reviews on the Internet, mainly because the atmosphere of this era is not open enough, and many people think that this song hurts people's self-esteem, and the content is too realistic. But more people still think that since it is a black humorous entertainment song, it should be more tolerant, and the comment area almost exploded.
This is a song that is purely released on the Internet, and Lin Ming has no intention of making it into an album to promote it. makes Liang Xiaoyue regretful, because according to this data, once packaged into a music album, the sales may be even more terrifying than "My Sky".
In addition to these things, there was a big event in the country throughout the month of June. That was the 2002 World Cup. The post-00s may not have much of an impression, but the early 90s or post-80s will definitely remember. At that time, almost all the streets were about football, and as soon as the TV was turned on in every house, it was a football match, it was talked about in the news, in the newspapers, and almost everywhere on the radio. Because of this year's World Cup, our national team entered the World Cup for the first time in 44 years with the help of the famous coach Milu. In the top 10 matches, with a record of 5 wins and 1 draw, he directly entered the top 32 group stage two rounds in advance, which greatly inspired the hearts of the Chinese people, and Milu is also known as the savior of the national football team.
This makes the whole street, on TV, in the newspapers, everywhere blowing Milu. The characteristics of the Chinese people, that era was really blown, and it was like a god to the sky. So much so that ignoring the factual factors and objective facts, led to the group stage showing the prototype, ranking second to last in three games and three losses, and after going home directly, the Chinese began to scold Milu again.
In fact, the fact that the national football team was able to enter that World Cup was an accidental factor. The group was divided into weak teams, and the two organizers directly entered the group stage and did not participate in the qualifiers, resulting in the national football team pulling out the general and entering. But if it is truly in line with international standards, it will naturally expose its true strength, and it can only go home obediently.
As a result, the whole of June was spent from the national enthusiasm at the beginning of the month, to the gritting of teeth in the middle of the month, and then to the scolding of Milu and the national football team at the end of the month. It also made the national football team really start to become a street rat at that time, and the enthusiasm of the people from football has faded too much.
Of course.
In addition to the news above the World Cup, a certain host country has frequent black whistles, bribed referees, and made scandals about the world's top ten black whistles ranking first and third, so that the host country has won the ugly results of the third place. It is also after the national tea and dinner, hating that iron does not become steel to arrange the national football, and despise and denounce the pastime of this small peninsula country.
Lin Ming is not very interested in football, whether in his previous life or now, although he remembers who won the championship at that time, and he also remembers the record of the national football team. If he takes the 500,000 yuan to buy the ball, and buys the world champion at that time and the opponent of the national football team every game all the way, he will definitely make a lot of money.
However, Lin Ming is not so lacking in morality, there is no need to lose in the national football team, and earn this national disaster money in the wailing of the people. Although he is very short of money, he really says that after the road is paved in Peachwood, there are many ways to make money in the future.
