Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 294: The First Appearance
The audio and video recording of this press conference was done by a professional team that Cheng Yi hired at great expense, and was conducted in full accordance with the recording standards of a concert.

This CD is of 1.5 yuan quality. The picture and sound are a little rough, but you can still hear the singing clearly.

"Not bad." Cheng Yi said, "Let's print one million copies first."

Zhou Yan asked tentatively, "Mr. Cheng, are you sure you want to use this 1.5 yuan quality?"

"Yeah." Cheng Yi nodded and said, "Anyway, I'm giving it away for free, so this quality is fine."

"Have you ever considered making something of better quality, such as making it into a record?" Zhou Yan asked again.

Cheng Yi said: "I don't have that idea for now."

Zhou Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. He stood up and said, "Mr. Cheng, can you authorize me to produce and sell the records for this press conference? I'm willing to give your group 50% of the profits."

Cheng Yi glanced at Zhou Yan and said, "Mr. Zhou, I've had the same idea as you before, but I have a big event coming up in Handong Province soon, and I need this CD to help me attract traffic, so I can only give it away for free."

"I understand. I just need to stay out of Handong Province." Zhou Yan said excitedly, "Boss Cheng, I've watched this press conference carefully several times. Jay Chou's two new songs, plus your MoMo girl group's eight songs, will definitely be a big hit in China if they're made into an album. I think selling hundreds of thousands of copies won't be a problem. I work in this industry, and I'm confident. Jay Chou's 'Fantasy' album sold 170 million copies in a very short time."

"With my one million 'pirated' CDs, even if you make these ten songs into records, they probably won't sell well, right?" Cheng Yi said with a smile.

He had previously considered making it into a record for sale, but the most important thing right now was to attract traffic, so he had to give up this approach.

"It won't have much of an impact." Zhou Yan said immediately, "Which celebrity's records aren't pirated everywhere? It won't have any impact."

"But I can't give you investment." Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"I don't need investment." Zhou Yan said, "Mr. Cheng, if you authorize me, I will not only give you 50% of the profits, but I will also print an additional 100 million pirated CDs for you free of charge."

Cheng Yi said in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, why would you take this risk?"

Zhou Yan hesitated for a long time before sighing, "Oh, I have to move on. I can't continue making pirated CDs. The money I make now isn't enough to cover the fines. Those regulators are treating me like a mobile safe."

"Okay, I'll have the legal department issue you a letter of authorization." Cheng Yi nodded and said, "Whether it's the record or the pirated CD I want, the name will be "Unparalleled - Stranger Companionship"."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Cheng." Zhou Yan was overjoyed. These days, records are almost making huge profits. For example, Jay Chou's "Fantasy" is sold at a price of 45 yuan, but the production of the finished product costs less than 10 yuan, which means there is a profit margin of 35 yuan.

If 100 million records are sold, after deducting the costs of publicity and distribution, there will be at least 2000 million in profit. Unfortunately, most of this 2000 million in profit is pocketed by the signing company, and not much is finally given to the stars.

"Please help me make 100 million music CDs as quickly as possible. I need them urgently." Cheng Yi ordered.

"Understood. I guarantee it won't be delayed for General Cheng's use. We've already produced over 30,000 copies." Zhou Yan said, "Once we have 100,000 copies, I'll arrange for someone to deliver them."

"Yeah." Cheng Yi nodded.

"Mr. Cheng, I'll go back and bring the legal department and the official seal to sign the contract." Zhou Yan stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for giving me this opportunity."

Zhou Yan thanked Cheng Yi and left his office.

After sending Zhou Yan out, Cheng Yi opened the official website of Momo Group and began testing the lottery page.

He tested it repeatedly using many different methods, and after making sure there were no problems, he called the game company's testing department and asked a group of testers who specialized in finding bugs to come and test it several times.

If these people also test OK, then we can start the float promotion tomorrow.

In the evening, Cheng Yi took Lin Qingyin and Jiang Yuxi to eat hotpot. The two girls really got along well. One liked to talk and the other liked to listen. They had a very good chat. Jiang Yuxi chattered the whole time, which made Lin Qingyin envious and occasionally even exclaimed in surprise.

In fact, the content of Jiang Yuxi's conversation was very dry. She either talked about the story of chasing dogs when she was a child, or talked about the story of being chased by a dog when she was a child.

After finishing their meal and returning to the company, the two immediately ran into the room, which made Cheng Yi feel a little disappointed.

Early the next morning, the test of the lottery page was finally completed. Cheng Yi called Du Yusheng and Zhang Lingyu, and all the districts and counties in Handong Province were mobilized.

It is the holiday now, and people from other places in various districts and counties have begun to return home.

Every district and county is packed with people.

At the same time, the promotion of Starcom Group's Handong branch has also entered a white-hot stage. They seized the trend of returning home and hung posters in major mobile phone stores, and sales have continued to rise.

In less than three days, their market share had reached an astonishing 95%.

From a business perspective, a market share of 95% basically means a complete victory.

The chances of a comeback are very slim.

After all, Starcom Group has been immersed in the field of PHS for four or five years. They know very well who the target audience is. In addition, everyone wants to bring such a thing back home for the New Year to show off, so the sales volume naturally increases.

Although Momo Group did not gain an advantage in the PHS business, with the three days of promotion and the influx of students returning home for the holidays, their Internet cafes across the country were all packed, and all Momo Internet cafes were crowded with people.

"Mr. Cheng, the average occupancy rate of our Momo Internet Cafe has now reached over 90%, and it remains like this from morning to night." In Cheng Yi's office, Jingjing printed out the information sent from various places and handed it to Cheng Yi.

"Increasing the occupancy rate of internet cafes is not very meaningful." Cheng Yi frowned as he looked at the data in the file. "By the end of the year, even the illegal internet cafes are full. It all depends on the interaction rate of the activities."

"The online promotion of Momo Group's official website is not significant enough."

"There aren't enough real-name users on Momo membership." Cheng Yi looked at the data sheets one by one and said, "The online usage of Momo Legend has increased rapidly."

Now the maximum online number of Momo Legend has remained stable at 17 to 20, and the number of active players has reached more than 80. The daily point card income is about 45. Even after deducting the profit share given to Shengda, the daily point card income is still 30.

Moreover, point card income is only a small part. Since the virtual item trading network was launched, the income from guaranteed transactions alone has reached an average of 800 yuan per day for each Internet cafe. For all Internet cafes combined, the daily income from guaranteed transactions is as high as to yuan.

For the same equipment, the selling price of Momo Legend is more than ten times higher than that of the genuine Legend, which has also caused many legendary players in counties and districts to turn to Momo Legend.

The pace is fast, killing is fun, and you can make money.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it can be regarded as opening a new chapter for online games.

Cheng Yi read the entire data sheet, and his frown suddenly relaxed.

Although the sales volume of Momo Xiaolingtong on the last page is still not good, the growth curve is extremely beautiful, even reaching the level of a leap forward.

On the first day of the promotion, Momo Xiaolingtong sold 172 units across the province.

On the second day of the promotion, the province-wide sales volume of Momo Xiaolingtong was 323 units.

On the third day of the promotion, Momo Xiaolingtong's sales in the province reached 742 units.

This means that the effect of ground marketing has begun to show. However, the process of taking effect needs to be slow and steady.

Cheng Yi put the report down, stood up and said, "Jingjing, go get a car, I need to go out soon."

"Okay." Jingjing responded and quickly left the office.

Cheng Yi walked out of the office, came to VIP lounge No. 3, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Secret code." Jiang Yuxi's arrogant voice came from the other side of the door.

"Send you home." Cheng Yi replied.

Jiang Yuxi quickly opened the door. She was wearing a set of light blue plush pajamas. She looked at Cheng Yi pleadingly and said, "Cheng Yi, can I go back in a few days? My parents haven't come back yet. I'd feel so miserable if I went back now."

During these three days, Jiang Yuxi finally let herself go. She went shopping with Lin Qingyin during the day, watched TV in the presidential suite at night, and occasionally went out for a stroll with Cheng Yi. It was so comfortable.

"Okay, eight hundred, and you can stay for three more days." Cheng Yi spread out his hands.

"You!" Jiang Yuxi said angrily, "Just kill me. I only made a small amount of money. Where did you get so much money?"

Jiang Yuxi sat on the sofa angrily, feeling sulky.

Lin Qingyin, wearing bear pajamas, stood in the middle of the living room and said to Cheng Yi, "Cheng Yi, let Jiang Yuxi stay for a few more days. She still wants to teach me sales skills."

Lin Qingyin reached into her pocket as she spoke and said, "How about I pay for her?"

"That won't work." Cheng Yi refused: "She said something bad about me a few days ago. This eight hundred is her punishment."

"Ah?" Jiang Yuxi glared at Cheng Yi and shouted, "Do you have two donkey ears? Can you hear that?"

"Telepathy." Cheng Yi responded and said, "This time, since Lin Qingyin pleads for you, I'll let you go. If I sense you saying bad things about me again, it won't be something that 800 yuan can solve."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it anymore." Jiang Yuxi waved her hand and thought to herself: I've already said it all anyway.

"By the way, hurry up and change your clothes. I'll take you out for a walk later." Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Yuxi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Let's go to Donghu District for a walk."

"I didn't expect you to be such a nice person." The anger on Jiang Yuxi's face disappeared, and she immediately pulled Lin Qingyin into the bedroom.

Cheng Yi sat on the sofa and waited for a while. Not long after, Lin Qingyin and Jiang Yuxi came out after changing their clothes.

The best thing about girls of this age is that they don’t need to put on makeup when going out. Just that face full of collagen can kill those delicate women in their thirties.

Cheng Yi looked up at the two of them, and when he saw the contrast in their attire, he almost laughed out loud.

Lin Qingyin's clothes are all new slim-fit down jackets designed by Xizi Hanyan. They keep her warm while also shaping her figure perfectly. Jiang Yuxi's Bosideng down jacket looks like a squirming big bread when she wears it.

However, Jiang Yuxi is not the kind of girl who likes to compare with others, so she didn't notice her big chubby appearance.

She slowly put on her gloves, took Lin Qingyin's arm, and said, "Let's go!"

When they got downstairs, Bai Yiheng immediately came up to them and said, "Boss Cheng, I've sent three cars. It's too chaotic at the end of the year. Many thieves, robbers, kidnappers, and fraudsters are trying to get some money to return home. It's not safe with fewer people."

"Okay, let's go to Donghu District first and find a Momo Internet cafe." Cheng Yi nodded.

"Wow, what a scene!" Seeing the three GL8 commercial vehicles, Jiang Yuxi ran over in surprise and touched the door, then habitually scratched the tiny dent on the door made by a small stone.

She looked back at Cheng Yi and said, "Cheng Yi, are you making such a big fuss when you go out now? If I tell my parents, they probably won't believe it."

"If you dare to tell your parents, I will ask the External Relations Department to fire you." Cheng Yi threatened.

This threat worked very well for Jiang Yuxi. She immediately said, "I won't tell you. I absolutely won't tell you."

"Hurry up and get in the car, get the second one." Cheng Yi urged.

"Oh, okay." Jiang Yuxi got into the car quickly, followed closely by Cheng Yi and Lin Qingyin.

Lin Qingyin has been riding in the car since she was a child, and is accustomed to this way of going out. After she got in the car, she sat quietly next to Cheng Yi. On the other hand, Jiang Yuxi became excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

"Cheng Yi, how much is this car?"

"45."

"So expensive? How much money does your company have now?"

“I haven’t calculated it.”

"Can I come to work in your company?"

"No."

"Do you think I could ever buy a car like this?"

"It's no problem to buy a tire."

Along the way, Jiang Yuxi kept asking questions, which made Cheng Yi miss the good times when Jiang Yuxi didn't talk to him.

Jiang Yuxi looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and said with emotion: "I must work hard to make money and buy a car in the future."

"Jiang Yuxi, you are such a great salesman, you will be able to achieve it soon." Lin Qingyin believed in Jiang Yuxi very much.

"Really? I think so too. I'm going to set a small goal for myself, to buy a car within two years! One with four wheels!" Jiang Yuxi said confidently.

Donghu District is the most remote district in Jingzhou City. It is located in the easternmost part of Jingzhou City and also has the lowest GDP in Jingzhou City.

In the early years, this place started out by pirating books and buying and selling old books and magazines. Later, when the CD industry emerged, it became the largest pirated CD distribution center in Handong Province.

Although Donghu District has the lowest GDP in Jingzhou City, its per capita income is the highest in Jingzhou City.

In 2000, the per capita income of Jingzhou City was 6791 yuan, while the per capita income of Donghu District was 13523 yuan.
