I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

Page 111

If she knew how to take it, she wouldn't have refused just now.

But as soon as he pushed the amulet over, Hoshino Ai snatched it away.

Um...did I guess wrong?

When Saito Hiko saw that the amulet was snatched away, he felt a little embarrassed and looked at Hoshino Ai in silence.

Of course, Hoshino Ai didn't want to steal Saito Hiko's amulet. She wanted to confirm whether the amulet in Saito Hiko's hand was the same as hers.

The last time I got it from him, I didn't check the amulet in his hand.

So after she got the amulet, she opened it immediately, and it seemed to be no different from what she had seen before.

She handed the amulet she had just put away to Saito Yan, and folded the one she had snatched from him and put it in her bag, "I'll give it back to you."

Did she think that the one I gave her was genuine and the one I took was a fake? Fortunately, I didn't give her the amulet with the missing words.

When Saitohiko saw what Hoshino Ai was doing, he roughly guessed what she was thinking. However, even though he guessed what she was thinking, he still pretended to be puzzled and asked her, "Ai, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, don't worry about it." Hoshino Ai didn't want to say her little thoughts, so she took out the textbook from her schoolbag, "Okay, time is running out, start teaching me my lessons."

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it." Saito Yan said casually: "We are in different classes, and today is the first day, so our learning progress will be different, so I may not understand your question."

When Hoshino Ai heard Saito Hiko say that he might not know the content in the textbook, she immediately became interested, picked up the textbook and started asking him questions.

Then she realized that Saito Hiko was just being modest and didn't really not understand. In fact, he understood every time she pointed to something.

Even later, when she deliberately wanted to embarrass Saito Hiko by turning to the back of the book and pointing randomly, she could still hear the other party's clear and logical analysis.

This made her wonder if Saito Hiko had said that on purpose.

The two of them stayed in this remote cafe for a total of fifty minutes before heading to Berry Pro together.

"Now that you are all here, I will begin."

The president saw Saito Hiko and Hoshino Ai arrive and said to the others who were already in the practice room, "The single has sales of 434. It's a pity that it didn't sell many."

Saito Hiko heard the data the president said and calculated it in his mind.

As far as he knew, the group's single was sold at 434 yen, so with sales of 868000, the total turnover was yen, which was indeed not much.

This turnover is not even enough to cover the appearance fee he received for doing things for Arakawa.

Therefore, when the seven people from B Komachi heard that the sales volume was only 434, their faces were gloomy.

Although except for Hoshino Ai, they all didn't know about the appearance fee.

However, the single sales still suffered a blow after this performance.

There were so many people present, but only 434 were sold.

And the data here also includes purchases made by themselves and those supported by their families.

The president saw that they all looked gloomy after hearing the sales figures, so he did not mention the even worse sales of the peripheral products.

He thought for a moment and encouraged the girls, "In fact, the sales of your debut single have far exceeded my expectations. As an unknown newcomer, the sales of your debut single are quite good..."

However, the president's words failed to help them get out of their depressed mood.

So stupid…

Seeing that the president's silly words failed to cheer up the girls, Saitohiko walked up to the president and said to them, "Maybe you think 434 is too small, but you have overlooked one thing."

"That means you had no fans before your debut, and no publicity channels for others to know you, so you won hundreds of fans just by performing at the Spring Festival. What's there to be depressed about?"

Saitohiko paused and continued, "And you think that there were so many people at the festival, but only 434 tickets were sold, which is too little, but didn't you notice? There were only seats available for spectators at the Kasuga Festival."

Saito Hiko has misinterpreted the concept here. There are indeed only 5,000 seats in the auditorium, but the number of spectators without seats is greater than the number of people with seats.

Because he also prepared a big screen, the number of people who actually saw the performance must have exceeded 10,000.

But since he wanted to motivate them, he naturally couldn't tell them these numbers. Although the data was not bad, the effect would definitely not be that good.

"With 11.52 viewers and a conversion rate of %, this is already a very good result." Saito Yan said, thinking that they might not understand this statement, and he also remembered that this number also included their purchase data, so he said: "Maybe you are a little confused, let me put it another way."

"With zero fans, you managed to get more than 5000 of the 400 listeners to pay 2000 yen to buy your songs with just one performance. That's almost a one-tenth conversion rate."

When the seven people in B Komachi heard this data, they felt that it didn't seem that bad.

Based on the information they have been practicing and paying attention to during this period, the conversion rate of one in ten is among the top ones.

But they always felt that something was wrong. According to their understanding, the data of underground idols was much higher than this.

Because when the president signed the contract with them, he said they would start with underground idols, so the data they paid attention to was also based on underground idols.

"But I heard that the conversion rate of underground idols is generally only a few percent, and ours is only one tenth. Isn't that very bad?" Asuka Hayakawa raised her hand and asked Saito Hiko.

That's the reason.

When Saitohiko heard Asuka Hayakawa's question, he immediately knew what the problem was.

"Can ordinary idols be the same as underground idols?" Saito Hiko asked them a question, and then continued: "The conversion rate of underground idols is high because those who go to live houses to watch have some special ideas, so their willingness to pay is naturally higher than those who attend festivals."

"You know that underground idols have a high conversion rate, but you forgot a very important piece of information. Their single sales are generally less than 100. If they exceed 100, they have been sold out at multiple performances. Moreover, they have additional conditions, such as handshakes, photos... personal original peripherals and other special conditions, which is why they have such a high conversion rate."

After Saitohiko finished explaining most of the situation, he said to them, "Think about it, at the Spring Festival, in addition to performing, you were not required to interact with the people who bought the single, right?"

Hoshino Ai didn't know what the others were doing after the festival. She only remembered that after the performance that night, she and Saito Hiko went to the festival again... and she lost a day to him...

Has he forgotten about this matter?

He hasn't made any requests in the past few days...

Hoshino Ai thought of what happened at the festival and couldn't help but glance at Saito Hiko again, feeling a little uneasy.

He wouldn't bring up the festival and remind himself of this, would he?

Chapter 166 Sales List

When Asuka Hayakawa heard Saito Hiko mention this, she noticed that after the Spring Festival, they did not follow the traditional process of underground idols, and even the president and Kyoko asked them to go out and play.

Even though they were not allowed to hold any handshake events or anything like that after they went back from shopping.

The other five members of B Komachi also noticed that they did not follow the process of underground idols.

New doubts could not help but arise in the smarter minds.

Didn't the president say that we should start with underground idols? Why is there no fan meeting schedule for underground idols at the Spring Festival?

"Well, they indeed didn't let us hold that kind of event..." Asuka Hayakawa nodded in acknowledgement of Saito Hiko's words.

"So, you shouldn't look at sales according to the standards of underground idols. According to the debut situation of ordinary idols, your current performance is pretty good." Saitohiko continued to encourage them, "Fans need to be accumulated, and how old are you? There is still plenty of time, don't rush, take your time, accumulate fans this time, and when you perform next time, they will see the information on the official website and some will come to continue to support you."

"Performing more often will increase the number of fans."

This is certainly true, but if you want to increase your fans quickly, you can only achieve rapid growth by participating in activities on TV stations, variety shows, etc.

But relying solely on performances, the speed of gaining fans is very slow.

After a concert, gaining a few hundred fans is a good result.

Saito Hiko knew the problem, but it was not easy to get a job at a TV station and he needed connections.

But MeiPro is a small company with limited acquaintances, so the resources available for promotion are also limited.

You can indeed get them on radio shows by spending money, but that's a pure money-losing business and it's not worth giving money to those people.

Besides, he didn't want them to become famous quickly.

After Saitohiko finished speaking, he said to the girls, "Look, the president has secured a performance for you in May. During this period, you should practice hard and be in better condition."

"Are you confident that the performance in May can be better than the one at the Kasuga Festival?" He guided the seven members of B Komachi to respond.

"Yes..." The girls responded to Saito Hiko one after another.

Their voices are not loud and they lack confidence.

Saitohiko was dissatisfied with their weak response, so he shouted: "Do you have the confidence to make the next performance better?"

The seven people heard Saito Yan's loud question and knew that he was not satisfied with their response just now, so they all raised their voices and answered loudly together: "Yes!"

"Very good! Let's start practicing." Saito Hiko was satisfied with their reaction this time and nodded to let them start practicing.

"It seems like I'm the redundant one." The president muttered softly.

Saito Hiko heard the president's muttering and replied, "I don't want to be in the spotlight either. It's someone's fault for not even motivating them."

"You kid!" The president said as he handed the sales data and inventory list in his pocket to Saito Yan, "Then you can handle these yourself."

"Why are you like a child?" Saito Hiko took the paper handed to him, opened it and glanced at the numbers on it. He felt that if someone from B Komachi saw it, he would cry.
