Capítulo 81: Sales

On Saturday morning, all members of HuaXiang Entertainment gathered together.

After web communication and media publicity, almost everyone knew that Ling Ming's new album would be released today.

The forums were in full swing every day. Hundreds of loyal fans were looking forward to her long-awaited, album.

Today, the fans finally got their wish!

According to Zhang Xiaohua's decision, HuaXiang Entertainment would release Ling Ming's first album today.

Zhang Xiaohua named the album "Sisters", the cover was a black and white image of Ling Ming holding a black umbrella in the rain, her hair floating with the wind. The album contained five songs:

"Can I Hold You?";

"Can't Cry";

"Three Days and Three Nights";

"Give Me A Reason";

And "Is This What You Wanted".

A total of 1 million copies of the album were made. The unitary price for each album would be 100 yuan.

The Sparrow Company had finished the loading the cargo up yesterday night, so they were only waiting for Zhang Xiaohua's signal to deliver the order to various sales points.

Moreover, at the request of Zhang Xiaohua, Xu Fengnian had been busy for a few days already. He used his own contacts to create a long-term cooperative relationship with several large-scale audio-visual stores in the downtown area, allowing them to fully expand the market for their songs. For HuaXiang Entertainment, this was a big achievement.

The others were naturally not idle, they had been sitting in front of the computer for almost 24 hours, desperately helping promote Ling Ming's album, the specific location of each point of sale was clearly stated, including the price of the record. It also had instructions attached to ensure that fans knew the direction there, including ways to save money while travelling. The posts had been praised by the majority of fans.

In addition, if Ling Ming's 1 million records all sold out, she would take her place as the leader of the new generation of superstars!

At this time, everyone was quietly watching Zhang Xiaohua, waiting for his orders.

Zhang Xiaohua stood at his desk and slowly picked up the phone. Then, he dialled Zhou Yi's mobile phone and said the order: "As soon as possible, ship all the records to all the sales points. Before ten o'clock, the market must be opened for full sale!"

At the command of Zhang Xiaohua, ten large trucks loaded with cargo were set off from Sparrow, headed for the city.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, a full million records had been delivered, and the main markets were concentrated in Tianjing.

Due to the incompetence of HuaXiang Entertainment, it was still impossible to arrange sales networks nationwide, they could only temporarily concentrate the market in the capital city and the small towns around it. However, Zhang Xiaohua had already decided that expanding the sales market was imperative, it was one of his next major plans.

At present, they were still half an hour away from the sales of the albums. The fans had long queued up outside. Some of the queues snaked around the roads.

The large-scale audio-visual stores in the urban area were extremely hot. But the fans ignored the heat and carried on waiting at the door.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the sales began.

All the sales points had exploded!

Fans rushed into various stores like a torrent.

In this way, the sales came into full swing, it continued until the afternoon, the enthusiastic fans were still going in and out of the various sales points, all coming with happiness, and leaving with satisfaction.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yi personally came to HuaXiang Entertainment with the first sales report.

According to the sales statistics of various sales points, the total sales volume of the album had exceeded 500,000, which far exceeded the sales record of Wang Jingwen's 300,000 copies in a week.

According to this, in less than three days, the entire 1 million records would be out of stock!

After getting these good news, Yuan Datong and co rejoiced.

"Boss Zhang, should we transport another million records to various sales points? Miss Ling's first album is so hot, the second album will definitely blow up again." Zhou Yi asked.

Zhang Xiaohua waved his hand and smiled: "I say we wait a while to make a move. Now those fans have tasted sweetness. If we continue to give them more, they will become tired. Gradual progress is king. Plus, remember that we will raise the price of the next album to 200 yuan so we should wait for them to get desperate for it."

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua sat back in the boss chair and seriously asked Xu Fengnian: "Manager Xu the company will expand the scale in the future, so I want to expand the sales market first. After these sales results and the reputation of Ming'er, I think the popularity of our company will be greatly improved. If you add your personal connections, how much do you think we can expand our sales market?"

When Zhang Xiaohua said this, everyone immediately quieted down, and each of them showed a serious expression.

Xu Fengnian thought for a moment and said: "At present, there are a total of 150,000 audio-visual chain stores nationwide. Some large-scale shopping malls in other places do establish cooperative relationships. New Century Entertainment has a large share of this market, they have almost cooperated with all the audio-visual stores across the country. This sector was originally ran by me. Talking about relationships, I have enough confidence to grab some dealers. If we do well in sales, we should be able to spread our reach into eight other cities."

Zhang Xiaohua gently tapped his finger on the table and meditated for a while.

"Well, you go back and prepare for it. During this time, you will represent the company to run the business in the field, strive to build a sales network that belongs to us. We must monopolise the market, sharing is no fun."

Xu Fengnian nodded his head and resolutely said: "Don't worry, running a business is my strength, there is nothing to worry about. I will go back and prepare, I will leave tomorrow morning."

After Xu Fengnian was about to leave, he heard Zhang Xiaohua speak up: "Wait, this is the company's allowance for you."

During the speech, Zhang Xiaohua took out a pouch from the drawer and filled it with a full 100,000 yuan in cash.

Xu Fengnian showed a happy smile to Zhang Xiaohua, and then walked off to prepare.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua took an envelope from the drawer and put it on the desk:

"Zhou Yi, this is the design of the ticket for Ling Ming's concert. Follow this style according to the different price categories above. In addition, we will need all the equipment listed inside."

Zhou Yi picked up the envelope and opened one of the lists. He fixed his eyes and looked at it.

Four 100-inch Blu-ray HD LED displays.

20 pairs of 500W power speakers.

There are 4 subtitle reminders and overhead cameras.

4 professional photographers, 4 lighting engineers and 2 makeup artists.

Ten thousand plastic seats.

15 sets of laser lights.

One lift and one high power fan.

......

After reading the list, Zhou Yi felt that the workload was unprecedented.

"The graphic design of the stage is also inside. I need your company's employees to help build it."

Zhou Yi did not rush to reply, but looked at the stage plan of the stage, and could not help but frown, in his eyes was a four-sided stage layout, the required construction materials were also listed, even the surrounding environment was clear at a glance. The stage design was something he had never seen before but the layout seemed reasonable enough.

Silent for a long time, Zhou Yi nodded, said: "Please rest assured, I will try my best to meet all your requirements. Just wondering, when will the concert be? Where is the specific location? When do we start the work?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Ling Ming in a blink of an eye and smiled: "There is no hurry, let our big star accumulate popularity first. You just prepare all the things I need, and I will inform you when we are ready."

"Okay, then I will go back first." Zhou Yi is a polite way.

"Go back and say hello to the folks in the village on my behalf. By the way, tell them that the children will be going back to learning soon." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.

Zhou Yi stunned for a bit, but he really didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Xiaohua's last few words. He nodded and walked off.

"Boss, what do we do?" Emma asked in a spirited manner.

"Today's sales of Ming'ers album have exceeded the 500,000 mark. Such good things, we should celebrate, so what you have to do next is to think about where to eat tonight." Zhang Xiaohua laughed.

Upon listening to this, Yuan Datong was happy. Finally he wasn't treating. Time to eat his fill.

"In any case, the location doesn't matter to me, after all we are being treated by General Manager Yuan." Zhang Xiaohua suddenly added.

This time as Zhang Xiaohua's voice began to fall. Yuan Datong had already started to pick up his slipper...
