Chapter 250: The Voice of the People
In December 1979, although the winter sun was not hot enough, it still worked very hard to shine into Jiangshan's office.
Looking at the mist rising in the teacup, Liao Mingzu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Section Chief Jiang," he sat on the sofa with dignity:
"Not to mention selling out, as long as you can help us sell half of the tapes, it will already save our company.
Do you know how many months our company hasn't paid a bonus? Even wages can only be paid at the lowest level. ”
Jiang Shan didn't say anything, only nodded slightly.
"However, this can't be blamed on the above," Liao Mingzu analyzed the specific matter: "After all, I didn't make a penny, and I put 40,000 yuan out." ”
Jiang Shan smiled, and said in his heart that it would be good if you knew.
"He just won't give me a penny, and I, the factory director, will never say anything,"
Liao Mingzu, who has been boiling eagles for half a year, seems to have found an excellent confidant at this moment:
"But you have to know that many of the workers who came with me have a very stable job income like me before.
So far, I haven't enjoyed my previous promise, and I really feel like it...... Felt ......"
When it came to the depths of love, Liao Mingzu couldn't hold the teacup in his hand.
"You think you're sorry for them, don't you?"
"It's really hard to stop them."
In the first year of its establishment, due to the limited number of employees, there was no way to subdivide jobs.
The employees who have practiced their skills have become decathlons.
From recording and calibration, to filling tape, packaging, and even debugging the machine and repairing the broken tape, you can do a decent job.
Compared to the hard work they have paid, their income is really like a drop in the bucket...... Before he could take a closer look, he flew away again.
"Mr. Liao," Jiang Shan said slowly:
"Actually, you don't need to blame yourself, after all, what you are doing now is the first in China, and changing to a second person may not necessarily be as good as you!"
"Comfort me with all your might!"
"What I'm saying is the truth," Jiang Shan was indeed comforting him: "The so-called difficulty at the beginning of everything is difficult in that there is no direction." ”
"Yes, I really don't know where to go now," Liao Mingzu muttered to himself, and the next second:
"By the way, Section Chief Jiang, didn't you just say that you could help me sell out?"
"Yes," Jiang Shan nodded affirmatively: "I can indeed help you, but...... It's up to you to believe me! ”
Although Liao Mingzu came here with admiration, he is a man who is nearly 40 a year, and he will never say at will: I believe you, of course I believe you...... Such dream talk.
"Section Chief Jiang, you said before that there is no market for this cassette tape in Xiangjiang," Liao Mingzu asked in detail, "Then where is its market?" ”
"Of course it's here," Jiang Shan pointed to the fertile land under his feet, "There is no more suitable place than this." ”
"This?" Liao Mingzu instantly put away his hopeful gaze: "How is this possible." ”
Jiang Shan asked rhetorically: "Why is it impossible?" ”
"Section Chief Jiang," Liao Mingzu frowned and said, "I think you also know that there is a song that has been banned from being sung in public places for a while. ”
"You're talking about "Hometown Love", right?"
"Yes, that's it," Liao Mingzu continued: "If even songs like "Hometown Love" are banned, then this box of "Roses Bloom Everywhere" will have no way to live. ”
According to the rules and regulations of the book "How to Identify H-Color Songs", "Roses Bloom Everywhere" is indeed more competent than "Hometown Love"!
"But, as far as I know," Jiang Shan said, "Now Li Guyi will still sing a song "Hometown Love" every time he goes to a public stage. ”
In the face of all kinds of criticism from the outside world on "Hometown Love", Li Guyi did not coax a day.
Sing as you want!
Not only can she sing if she wants to, but as long as she has the opportunity to contact her superiors, she will also change the original performance repertoire on the spot and go on "Hometown Love".
The most awesome time, I even dared to beat the drum of injustice in front of Comrade Xiannian: You give a comment, what's wrong with "Hometown Love"?
But anyone who changes people doesn't dare to be so sassy!
In the final analysis, you have to envy that people have a well-known husband.
"That's because Li Guyi performs in a place every time," Liao Mingzu said to Jiang Shan: "The audience will shout at her: Hometown love, hometown love......"
After saying this, Liao Mingzu himself was stunned.
In the next second, he hurriedly looked at Jiang Shan with an expression of sudden realization.
"Got a smell?" Jiang Shan shook the match in his hand, and after a wisp of smoke floated out, he said slowly:
"Let's assume first, if you have a batch of "Hometown Love" tapes in your hands at this time, do you think this batch of goods will be sold?"
Listening to Jiangshan's assumptions, Liao Mingzu really followed along.
When the puff of smoke cleared, his eyes seemed to see more clearly:
"How can it be sold, do you know how famous Comrade Li Guyi is now, and today's "Hometown Love" has almost resounded all over the country."
"Mr. Liao," Jiang Shan continued to ask, "Do you know what the masses call Comrade Li Guyi now?" ”
"Li Lijun."
"Why?"
"Because the masses think that Li Guyi's singing style is very similar to Teresa Teng."
"Compared with "Rose Blooming Everywhere" and "Hometown Love", Jiang Shan then asked: "Whose style is more like Teresa Teng?" ”
"Needless to say," Liao Mingzu, who was at this meeting, couldn't help but smile: "Teresa Teng has a box album, and she also sang the song "Roses Bloom Everywhere". ”
"Judging from the fact that the people are trying to buy Teresa Teng," Jiang Shan concluded:
"As long as there is a tape of "Roses Bloom Everywhere" on the market, the people will definitely compete for money."
"Fighting...... Pay? ”
After listening to Jiang Shan's analysis, Liao Mingzu really believed that the masses in the mainland would widely accept the cassette of "Roses Bloom Everywhere".
After all, the tracks in this box all follow Teresa Teng's route.
However, it would be an exaggeration to say that the people will fight for it.
Thinking of this, Liao Mingzu looked at Jiang Shan and said with a smile: "Reporter Jiang, do you know how much this cassette will cost if it is converted into RMB?" ”
"How much?"
7 or 8? In my impression, Fei Xiang's fire in 83 years was marked by the "Pacific Ocean" at a sky-high price of 15 yuan.
However, even so, it is often sold out.
"More than 7 yuan," Liao Mingzu pinched the gesture of seven: "Do you think this price will cause the masses to rush to buy?" ”
At this meeting, the salary of ordinary people is only about 30 yuan.
"You underestimate the power of our people,"
Jiang Shan stood up and took a newspaper over: "Take a look, this is the "Oriental Metropolis Daily" that just came out today. ”
"Look?" Liao Mingzu really didn't have the heart to read the newspaper.
"This," Jiang Shan pointed to one of the large articles: "The article written by the secretary of Yiwu County has been reprinted by our newspaper. ”
"Use a rag mop for 5 cents a pound ......"
"It's not this," Jiang Shan interrupted Liao Mingzu in time, and directly pointed to a piece of text: "Look at it from here." ”
When the county played the movie "Dream of Red Mansions", Comrade He Haimei hurriedly held up a borrowed "Seagull" license plate camera.
After that, she took the developed photos and ran to the door of the movie theater to sell, and made a net profit of 33 yuan in only three nights.
Later, He Haimei, who tasted the sweetness, washed up a large number of stills from "Dream of Red Mansions" and sold them to more than a dozen burden-carrying merchants.
I promised that I couldn't sell it and get back the original price, but I didn't expect these photos to be very popular as soon as they entered the market, and one of the "Bao Dai group photos" was sold for a high price of two yuan each......"
When he read the last sentence, Liao Mingzu's voice couldn't help but get louder and louder: "A black and white photo can be sold for two yuan?" ”
Jiang Shan, who was sitting on the side, nodded: "This, it's still in a small town called Yiwu." ”
"It's amazing," Liao Mingzu said with emotion: "Today's people are so willing? ”
"I dare to take the risk to buy Teresa Teng," Jiang Shan said bitterly: "For the sake of your own heart, what else is there you don't dare to buy?" ”
Once the wheel of history arrives, no one can stop it!
It doesn't matter if you can accept it or not, you just have to find a way to adapt to it!
"Section Chief Jiang," in less than an hour, Liao Mingzu seemed to have taken a lesson in market economy: "You understand the market." ”
No wonder Zhou Zishen would recommend Comrade Jiangshan to himself, it is indeed not simple!
"Let me ask you," Liao Mingzu suddenly changed his honorific title: "If we really want to put "Roses Bloom Everywhere" into the mainland market, what should we, "Pacific", do?" ”
"If you really have this plan," Jiang Shan said clearly:
"Not only will I teach you how to do it, but I will also make sure that I will sell not a single disc of 800,000 tapes, but these operations must be based on a premise."
"What premise?" Liao Mingzu, who couldn't bear it anymore, couldn't wait to ask.
"Of course I signed a contract," Jiang Shan handed out a business card in time: "I am a regular company's promotion planner, the most formal kind." ”
"Great," looking at the introduction of the joint venture on the business card, Liao Mingzu was more relieved: "If I don't sign a contract with you, I really don't know the bottom of my heart." ”
"Me too," Jiang Shan said with a smile, "Now...... Let's talk about the details of the cooperation! ”
"Talk now?"
"Of course, the longer it drags on, the greater the loss," Jiang Shan said, knocking on the coffee table.
"By that time, will your boss be able to tolerate you? Besides, the sooner the income is received, the sooner our Pacific employees can recover their salaries, do you know how good the benefits of our newspaper are? ”
"How good?"
"In addition to the salary and bonuses, there is also ......"
"Boss,"
Suddenly, Ding Lingling ran into the office like a gust of wind: "The accountant just said, let's go to the finance room to get the enamel pot." ”
Liao Mingzu: "......"
"Do you hear that?" Jiang Shantou didn't reply for a moment, still looked at him and said, "Inform us to get the pot." ”
"That's good!" Liao Mingzu glanced at the other party's employees enviously, and Comrade Ding Lingling looked excited.
Don't talk about your own "Pacific Ocean", if you don't solve the problem, it is estimated that you will not be able to open the pot.
"Talk," Liao Mingzu immediately made a ruthless decision: "Let's talk now!" ”
"Good!"
After a while, the framework of the entrustment contract was basically finished.
With Liao Mingzu's current official rank, he has no right to talk any further.
Everything has to wait for him to go back and ask for instructions.
At this moment, the two of them sitting on the two single sofas entered a state of great gain.
After Jiang Shan took a cigarette from the other party, he casually pressed the tape recorder switch on the coffee table.
[Roses bloom everywhere, youth is everywhere, and the unstoppable spring breeze blows into the chest......]
"What song is this? That's good! ”
"yes, that's nice."
"Who sang it? What a good voice! ”
"How do I sound a bit like Zhu Fengbo's voice."
"Zhu Fengbo still sang this song?"
"Section Chief Jiang, can't you make your voice louder?"
"Yes, Section Chief Jiang, such a beautiful song, let everyone listen to it together!"
The two who were leaning on the sofa leisurely before turned their heads to look out the window.
What they didn't expect was that there were already more than a dozen newspaper employees standing in the corridor outside the window.
In the hands of each employee, there is also an enamel box.
On these enamel boxes, the white rabbits are like happy dumplings, and anyone who sees them can't help but take a few more looks!
