One person's entertainment

Chapter 102: It’s a bit scary!

"Boss, give me a tape of 'Spark'."

"The tape just sold out, do you want the CD?"

……

"Is Shen Lingyou's new album for sale?"

"No, go look somewhere else."

……

“It’s sold out in the afternoon?”

"A group of college students just came and bought all of them."

……

The thresholds of audio-visual stores in major cities across the country were trampled down by people rushing to buy Shen Lingyou’s new album “Spark”.

The scene was so grand that it scared the bosses.

After the great sales of the two albums "Heart Too Soft" and "Shen Ling You", they can be said to have gained experience. This time they also increased the quantity of the first batch of goods, but it was still not enough to sell.

But in reality, there are not enough to sell because of concerns. Although they say they are increasing the quantity of goods, in fact, it is not much more.

What we are worried about is the impact of piracy. They are so fast now that they can copy and put it into the market in three days.

Therefore, if you import too many genuine products, you may end up with a lot of problems. And since these things cannot be returned, the loss will be very heavy.

There was no other choice but to call the supplier and urge them to deliver the goods as soon as possible.

In the evening, in the central commercial street of Hangzhou City, the Excellence Electronics Store is crowded with customers.

The boss walking by the street was puzzled: "It's strange, why is his business so good? The customer flow is several times higher than usual, but it seems that all the people coming in and out are young people. Is their spending power so high?"

Seeing her husband complaining, the lady boss said, "It's a bit abnormal. There haven't been any new products suitable for young people recently."

The boss scratched his stubble and said, "How about we go over and take a look?"

The lady boss snorted, "I'm not going. It makes me look like I'm jealous of them."

When the boss heard this, he didn't want to go either, so he looked at his son who was watching cartoons and said, "Son, go find out what's selling so well in the Joyo store."

The son didn't move from the stool, and didn't even look back. He just said calmly, "No need to go. I know they are selling CDs and tapes."

"Disc? Tape?"

"You mean VCD and Walkman?"

"No, it's just a CD and a tape, a singer's new album."

After hearing what their son said, the boss and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's happening here?
Instead of selling machines, sell consumables?

Just as the two were lost in thought, the Joyo Electronics Store welcomed another group of customers, a few young girls.

"Boss, my friend said, do you have Shen Lingyou's new album for sale?"

"Yes, how many do you want?"

"Really? That's great. We went to several music stores on the street and they were all sold out. We want two CDs and three cassettes. Thank you."

The employee picked up the carton and said, "Boss, it's not enough. I'll go to the warehouse and get another box."

The boss nodded and said, "Well, go and come back quickly, don't keep them waiting for too long." After that, he said to the girls, "Don't worry, our store is well stocked, just wait a moment."

The proprietress came over and whispered, "Which box is it?"

The boss was able to raise a finger.

The lady boss blurted out, "One box? That shouldn't be the case."

The boss said unhappily, "Ten boxes, one box."

The lady boss snorted and said, "Why are you talking so loudly? I didn't know it was ten boxes!" Then she said with a snort of surprise, "That means we sold more than 500 tickets!"

The boss lowered his voice and said, "My son is amazing!"

The proprietress rolled her eyes at him and said, "Isn't he my son?"

That’s right, these two people are Shen Lingyou’s father Shen Yongchun and mother Jiang Xiuyue, and the Excellence Electronics Store is owned by his family.

In order to support their son, the couple decided to purchase a large batch of goods, a total of 5000 CDs and tapes.

Now, this is the store in Hangzhou that has the most copies of Shen Lingyou's new album "Spark". Because they are an electronics store, not a music store, they don't know that it is sold here, so few people come here in the morning.

Later, some people who had been to several audio-visual stores but had come back empty-handed passed by here and saw the poster, so they went in and asked casually. After they bought the product, word of mouth spread, and by the afternoon more and more people came.

And because they usually keep a low profile and won't tell anyone that Shen Lingyou is their son.

Plus, the store just moved to this street at the end of last year, so basically no one here knows it.

The new clerks were also newly hired only a few months ago because the store is too busy to handle the whole process.

If it was at the old store, old neighbors and old customers would have seen Shen Ling visiting the store, and it would have been packed with people a long time ago.

"Boss, you have a good eye. I'm afraid we can make a lot of money from this batch of goods. I saw in the newspaper that Shen Lingyou's album is selling very well. The previous two albums sold millions of copies." The clerk came back with the goods, sent a few young girls away, and immediately flattered Shen Yongchun.

"Of course not, my son...his songs are loved by people of all generations. Let me put it this way, the sales volume of his new album will be at least 200 million copies." Shen Yongchun vowed.

"Do you want to get some more goods? With the popularity of this product, all the ones in the warehouse will be sold out in three days at most," asked the clerk.

"That's not how you do business. You have to see how much demand there is in the market. We have so many customers today because other audio and video stores have bought less stock. Once they restock tomorrow, some of their customers will be diverted away. In addition, pirated products like CDs and tapes are rampant. In a few days, they will take over the market for genuine products. We just need to sell out these goods." Shen Yongchun has a long-term vision, otherwise he would not have been able to make a fortune from business.

"Oh, I see." The clerk scratched his head.

However, this series of actions by Shen Yongchun and Jiang Xiuyue not only expresses the parents' love for their son, but also illustrates the success of Shen Lingyou's new album "Spark".

Hong Kong, Feituo Records.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire. You are so arrogant!"

"I want to see how high I can climb on my own!"

"Tingfeng, you have to show some courage!"

Chen Tu'an showed no sign of being unconvinced, but his brows were twisted into a knot.

……

Formosa Province, Warner UFO.

“Another ten hits!”

"Is this guy really only 19 years old?"

"Get it, you must get it!"

Zhou Jianhui's eyes sparkled, looking at Shen Lingyou as if he were a hot commodity.

……

Yanjing, Huaxia Hotel.

"Whether the next stop is heaven or not, even if you are disappointed, you can't despair..."

"Although the trauma of setbacks has made it difficult for me to move forward, I firmly believe that light is just around the corner..."

"I will climb up step by step, waiting for the sun to quietly look at its face..."

Wang Jingfei hummed Shen Lingyou's new song, looked at the handsome face in the MV, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

……

People in the industry are also paying attention to Shen Lingyou’s new album “Spark”.

The main reason is that he has released new songs every month since the end of last year, and they are often in the top ten of major music charts.

The year is just halfway through and two albums have already been released, which shows both high efficiency and good quality.

You know, it hasn’t even been a full year since his debut.

At present, he has developed into a strong rival to all singers in the Chinese music scene.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

They must want to know about Shen Lingyou and his songs.

However, after understanding this, I felt quite heavy.

Not only is he good at lyrics, composition and arrangement, his style is varied and his singing skills are also very good.

It’s a bit scary!
