In the 90s, whether it was a big city or a small city, tapes were an important source of music for people.

In addition to Xinhua Bookstore, large and small audio-visual sales outlets are all over the streets and alleys of the city.

When she got up early in the morning, Chen Jiao bought a pancake at a roadside stall and walked down a bustling street where there were seven or eight video stores, both genuine and pirated.

Hey, she's suddenly happy.

On a tricycle on the street, a car of pirated tapes, and on top of it was Tang Qin and Jiang Shan's addiction.

However, the lyrics are photocopied, the tape is 45 minutes long on black reels, and there are some longer albums that are not far from recorded at all, but they can also be bought and listened to.

"Master, how much is a box?" Chen Jiao is angry and funny, which may be the way the latest people sell audio-visual products.

"Two bucks, no counteroffer." The master is very proud, "The TV series is addictive, confused love, sung by Jiang Shan and Tang Qin, the original song." ”

"They sing better than Liu Huan and Na Ying?" Chen Jiao asked deliberately.

"It's good, it's too good." The master raised his face, "This is the original song, the current students like the two of them, and the young people like it too, hey, do you want it, three yuan and two boxes, I don't think it's easy for you, you look very good, get up early in the morning and eat pancakes......"

Chen Jiao laughed again, the addictive song is the main hit, and there is a set of three-disc annual hits, and the confused love is also the main hit, and it is also a mix of Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, and there are words written on it, such as equal share of spring, and the words "out of print", which are very loud.

People's propaganda is eye-catching enough, Chen Jiao is worried again, worried that the genuine version will not be able to sell pirated, but she is also proud of her vision, sure enough, Tang Qin and Jiang Shan are more popular.

She certainly didn't buy the pirated tape, and when she got to the next street, the bell rang at recess.

A few children ran out of the school gate, bypassing the old man who fried popcorn at the door, passing the red and blue revolving light boxes of the barber shop at the corner of the street, and rushing to the ultimate destination of freedom and trend, the video store, which symbolizes freedom and trend.

Trembling along the way, I had to greet acquaintances in a humble and humble manner, claiming to buy stationery with my classmates.

Finally, when I stood at the door, I could relax and plunge headlong into the sea of tapes.

"This is love, I can't say it clearly......" Tang Qin's magnetic distant singing echoed on the street, and on the poster in the store, the two were smiling and looking at these little children.

"Boss, if you want Tang Qin and Jiang Shan, it's ...... fun" Several children excitedly took money out of their pockets.

"Eight pieces of genuine, two pieces of five pieces of pirated versions." The boss tossed over two cassette tapes. Turning around, he put the tape in a conspicuous place again, so that it could be seen at a glance and sold faster.

"Which one do you want?" A few and a half children looked at the banknotes in their hands and opened them together.

"Jiang Shan is good-looking, buy genuine." A kid didn't hesitate to put ten dollars on the counter.

"I ...... I'll buy the original version too. The other gritted his teeth, Tang Qin acted energetically, that was his idol.

After taking the money, the boss greeted Chen Jiao, and looked at the excited child, "This tape sells well, and it must be genuine if it is as big as yours." "It's so good, our classmates love to listen to it, and we even call the radio station to order it."

"Then you don't bring a box to your classmates?" The boss looked business, "You too."

Do you want this tape? ”

Chen Jiao nodded, smiled and shook her head again, just looking at the poster and watching Tang Qin silently look at herself.

As soon as a few children left, a few young people came in again, and the boss flickered and sold a few more

Box, yes, Chen Jiao is relieved, there is still a market for genuine tapes, this is not to say how high the consciousness of children and young people is, they like this corner too much.

"How many years have you been running this store?" Chen Jiao was happy and pulled with the boss

Pulling.

"It's been three years, and it's been on this street, my store is the largest, the most complete on this street, and this latest tape, Xinhua Bookstore has it, and I have it." The boss praised himself, "This song will definitely be popular this year." ”

Oh?

"You have to see who sings it, the TV series has just finished broadcasting, my family still wants to watch it again, it's not on TV, I can only listen to the song to have a good time, yes, let me make more money, and I have a good time......"

After opening a video store for a few years, the owner doesn't dare to say how strong his music appreciation is, but he still has a bit of a professional sense of what songs are good to sell.

When the TV series was on the air, he concluded that this song could be popular, and a few female students came in, and sold a few boxes of tapes, four boxes of genuine and two boxes of pirated versions, so the boss hurried to see the goods, "I entered twenty boxes of tapes, this is an afternoon and a morning, no, I have to buy another batch of goods, two hundred boxes, it is estimated that it is not enough to sell." ”

"Bring me a box to enjoy." As he was talking, a young man on a motorcycle walked into the store, "I don't want Liu Huan Naying's, I want Tang Qin and Jiang Shan's." ”

The boss immediately smiled, "It's not a coincidence, it's just sold out, or you come back in the afternoon, you don't go anywhere else, it's all the same, it's all sold out, I'm the fastest to buy, I'll keep it for you when the goods arrive......"

The young man was very disappointed, "I've run three stores, how can they all be sold out, don't you have to force me to buy pirated copies?" ”

As soon as Chen Jiao heard this, she couldn't sit still anymore, watching the boss call to urge the goods, but the phone couldn't get through, the boss smiled bitterly, "It must be all urging the goods, this tape is especially short now, I heard that Beiyin only recorded 20,000 boxes, doesn't this mean forcing us to sell pirated tapes?" ”

Chen Jiao listened to him and said, he had already come out, time is money, no, he had to hurry up and burn it.

After she left, the boss's phone was dialed over and over again, and it took seven calls before the call was connected.

The other party's first sentence was, "No goods, we are out of stock, don't worry, we urged the publishing house, they don't count in their hearts, burn this bit of goods, how can they sell it in the market." ”

In the publishing house, Manager Zhang was sweating profusely in this early spring, "...... I'm really sorry, our company is seizing the time to burn, as soon as possible to ship to you in the shortest possible time, don't worry. ”

"That's what you told me yesterday, I can't get through on the phone today, I finally got in on the phone, no, you have to give me a batch of goods first......

Manager Zhang was so embarrassed, seeing Chen Jiao coming in from outside, the two shouted almost at the same time, "Hurry up and burn." ”

However, the calls kept coming in.

The manager of one of the largest Xinhua bookstores in Beijing even came directly to the door.

In just two days, all the inventory in his store was sold out, and the song became more and more popular in the past two days, and more and more people came to buy it.

As a result, only 20,000 boxes were printed on the publisher's side. If he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to get the goods, he would have counted Manager Zhang a long time ago, are you confused, these two people are so popular now, you burned 20,000 boxes?

He is not the only one who wants to scold, this morning, Chen Jiao felt that her ears were hot, and now, she blamed herself, she thought that this song would be popular, but she didn't expect it to be so popular.

Fire, don't give piracy a chance!
