American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

"Nameplate, are you sure?" Scott's voice came from the microphone.

In a secluded spot at the back door of the nightclub, Ryan was talking on the phone with Scott.

Ryan has asked the finance department and Scott to check the accounts of Big Machine for the past year. Most of the suspicious expenses have been resolved by the old fox Scott. For the few that cannot be explained, Scott said that he was cheated by his subordinates and said that he would help Ryan recover part of it, which can be regarded as giving up some of it.

As for the earlier period, apart from the fact that it happened so long ago, Taylor hadn't released an album at that time and only had some performance income, so Ryan turned a blind eye.

Now, under Ryan's nose, the finance department belongs to Ryan, and Taylor's father is watching him, ready to catch his little braid at any time. Scott didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Yes, it's similar to a necklace, like the dog tag of a heavenly soldier." Ryan described.

"It can be done." Scott nodded. Celebrities have derivative souvenirs for sale. Disney Channel is the best in this regard, and some companies will also cooperate with celebrities.

"But I have some special requirements. Each name tag has an independent code on the front, starting from 1, and a separate key string must be stamped on the back..."

"I can agree to the first condition, but the second one is not only difficult to do, but also costly and involves mold issues." Scott didn't quite understand the specific situation.

"Then put the key string in the collector's edition album, and the collector's edition album is only sold online for a limited time. Can it be done?"

"Well... I can contact the online sales platform and sell it together, but they will charge a 30% commission."

"No problem, this is still cheaper than offline physical store channels, at least for consumers."

"Yes."

"The sales rules also need to be redesigned, with the serial numbers of famous brands determined according to the order of purchase. In other words, the faster people buy, the higher the serial number they get."

“Does this make sense?”

"Don't worry about it. Just do it as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll start preparing today and it will be online within a week."

Ryan hung up the phone and went upstairs. This was the area that would house the record company in the future, but the renovation had not started yet and it was still in a rough state.

At this time, there were already 20 to 30 young people queuing up. They were applicants for related positions and fans of Ryan. Most of them were women.

Ryan started interviewing each one.

"A female programmer from Blockbuster?" Ryan asked as he looked at the resume.

"Yes, I'm in charge of Blockbuster's online website. I've worked on the front end and am currently working on the back end." The young woman, with a shoulder bag on her lap and a pair of thick glasses, replied seriously. Blockbuster is a video rental chain brand with many stores across the country. Its headquarters is in Labor Protection, Florida. In recent years, its business has gradually shrunk.

"How old is this year?"

"Soon 28."

"Married?"

"divorced."

"do you have any kid?"

"There is one, three years old."

That being said, the chances of taking maternity leave are low.

Ryan nodded. Although her resume listed many of her previous projects and her brief description of her abilities mentioned that she was proficient in a number of programming languages, Ryan couldn't understand them at all. He asked directly, "If I ask you to create a forum with a simpler interface and functions, but with a matching key activation system, can you do it by yourself?"

"It depends on the time you request to go online," she said.

"Within a week."

"That should work," she imagined.

"That's fine."

"Yes...okay." She nodded.

"Expected salary..." Ryan saw the requirements on the resume, stood up without saying a word, and extended his hand.

"Welcome to join us. What shall I call you from now on?"

"Veronica."

"Very good, Veronica, if it's convenient, you can start work today."

"Today? It's not impossible, but..." She looked around.

"You want me to work here?" she asked cautiously.

"I can give you the privilege. You can work from home for the time being. You have a computer at home, right?"

"some."

That's good, and I can save some money temporarily.

"By the way, keep the first 101 serial numbers as internal numbers. When you design, start from ." Ryan did not forget to remind.

"Two minutes to the countdown." A female college student in Florida sat in front of her computer, the mouse ready, waiting for the button to light up and she was ready to click it. "Is it that serious?" Her boyfriend, who was standing next to her, was shocked when he saw the price displayed on the page.

Normally the price of an album is between 12 and 16 US dollars, usually 11.99 or 12.99. EPs are even cheaper, some are only 5.99.

The regular version of Ryan's EP is priced at $8.99, and the collector's edition is priced at $39.99. In addition to an exquisite box and booklet, there is also an exclusive numbered name tag.

You have to know that this is an EP. Ryan dared to sell the collector's edition of EP, so he was the first in history.

This attracted criticism online, with many people thinking that Ryan's eating habits were ugly.

"It's only on sale for two days. Do you think it's necessary? Even if it's not used, the nameplate can be sold on a second-hand website." said the girl.

Ryan hasn't mentioned any "fan sites" at all yet.

"It's boring. Only you women would buy these useless things." My boyfriend said. He would only buy the standard version.

"Really? Then didn't you buy the collector's edition of the video game you bought? Can't you also play the standard edition?" the other party asked back.

The boyfriend was stumped by the question.

In the blink of an eye, it was 0 o'clock. The young female college student immediately pressed the mouse, and a few seconds later, a message notification popped up.

A big 167 appears on the screen!
The female college student wanted to click again, but was prompted that one IP could only purchase one copy.

Two days later, when the young couple, the female college student, were being intimate, she told them the latest news.

"After the two-day limited sale of the collector's edition, Ryan's Myspace immediately released an announcement that he would build a fan-only website and would personally interact with fans on the website. The website has now begun internal testing, and those who purchase the collector's edition will have an internal testing activation code, and the serial number will be displayed on the website. No wonder one IP address can only purchase one copy." The female college student suddenly realized.

"That's great. Now I can interact with Ryan in real time." She said with longing.

This smile made her boyfriend feel mixed emotions. It was a time for intimacy, but his girlfriend's mind was full of another man. One can imagine how he felt.

Seeing that her boyfriend didn't respond, the female college student stood up and turned on her computer again. She was originally going to buy something on eBay, but she suddenly found that someone on the website was reselling some activation codes. These serial numbers were all beautiful numbers like 11111, 22222, etc.

Among them, serial number "3" has already started auctioning, and the price has soared to tens of thousands of dollars, which is enough to buy two used cars.

“There must be some wealthy people among the fans,” the female college student said casually.

The selling price of some other good numbers is at least several hundred dollars. In short, only fans who are not short of money can buy them.

Her boyfriend thought a little further: "To see a large number of numbers being sold so quickly, these must be numbers reserved for internal staff!"

"Why do you care about this? You're not buying it." The woman opened the first-level domain name of Ryan Rivers' name and found that it could be successfully connected.

Although the physical album had not been sent to her yet, the activation code could already be viewed directly in the sales information. The female college student completed the registration skillfully and found that this was just a forum with several designed sections and several real-time chat rooms.

The screen scrolled so quickly that the female college student only had time to read a few messages clearly.

[22222: I spent a full $2000 on eBay! Ryan, can you give me a kiss? ]

【10000: Auntie will always love you. 】

【8733: We took a photo together in Austin, do you remember me? 】

[882: I work in Silicon Valley. Are you still hiring technicians? This website is so bad.]

【412: Have you checked the price on the website? The price of that 3 has already soared to nearly ! 】

[112: There are still ten minutes left before the auction ends. Maybe it can reach 3.]

【13: It could even be 4. 】

【5854: Ryan, I want to eat chicken! 】

【13: Eat your M. 】

【14: Haha, Taylor is angry. 】

[9321: Where is Taylor? Who is Taylor? ]

【167: How can it be that expensive? Isn’t Taylor Swift’s lucky number 13?】

The female college student typed a reply.

【22222: That makes sense. So the question is, who is 14? 】

The facts were beyond everyone's expectations. The price of the only single-digit serial number that had appeared on the entire network soared rapidly in the last few minutes before the auction ended.

It was eventually sold to a mysterious buyer from Arkansas for $60,000.

[13: Ryan's fans are really rich. Also, I'm not Taylor.]

【5854: Ryan, I want to eat chicken. 】

【13:……】
