Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

Lin Yi comforted himself in this way.

But at this moment, a message popped up on the phone.

[Mr. Lin, we have completed your order. Where should it be delivered? ]

[We are really sorry that we have delayed completing your order until now due to the factory shift schedule. As an apology, we will give you an extra 200 CDs for free, so the total number of CDs in this batch is 2200. ]

【We hope you can continue to cooperate with us in the future. 】

In an instant, Lin Yi frowned, and his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten something.

It's really like when it rains it pours, and you have to bring up the issue!

Under normal circumstances, for a new band like The End, the first batch of their first CD would only produce about 1000 copies.

But Lin Yi didn't expect the CD to sell at first, so in order to spend more money, he made 2000 copies at one time.

The high price of 5000 yuan is also intended to discourage people from purchasing the CD.

But now it seems that these actions are shooting themselves in the foot.

【Deliver the goods to...】

Although he was reluctant, Lin Yi still gave the address to the other party.

"Huh...huh..."

Lin Yi took two deep breaths and gradually calmed down his shocked heart.

It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if the CD sells well!

He still has many tricks up his sleeve!

The spending methods that were originally scheduled for the next cycle can now be brought forward to now.

For example, buying an office bus, renting a formal office space, hiring a few employees, giving bonuses to the girls who ended the band, and replacing them with more expensive musical instruments.

All in all, this was just a small setback and could not affect his plan of losing money at all!

These are just small tests on the road to success!

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Yi slowly stood up and walked to the door with confusion. You know, today is Friday, who would come to see him?

When I opened the door, a cute blue figure appeared before my eyes.

The person who came was none other than Xiaoxiang, who was wearing a small suit jacket and a long skirt.

"Don't you have to go to school today, Friday?" Lin Yi took out his cell phone and checked the time to make sure he was right.

"I've taken a day off today." Xiangzi said, and then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Lin Yi, Lin Yi, our live video has become popular! The sales of the CD have also increased!"

Although Lin Yi did not put any pressure on her and even gave a lot of advice to enlighten everyone during the celebration banquet, Xiangzi did not fully accept the reality.

As Lin Yi's assistant, the band's commercial failure haunted her like a curse, causing her to check the live videos and surrounding sales several times a day.

Lin Yi was right. A band’s popularity and fans need to be accumulated over time, but luck is often also a crucial factor.

And now, lady luck stood by the band to finish.

Seeing that Lin Yi was silent for a long time, Xiangzi thought that he was shocked by the good news, so she put her delicate little hand on his arm and gently rocked it back and forth. The girl's chubby cheeks turned slightly red with excitement.

"Lin Yi, Lin Yi, our firm finally made money!"

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.

The excited smile on Xiangzi's face at this moment was the best mockery for Lin Yi.

It's really amazing that you can do this without losing money.

Lin Yi forced a smile.

He said calmly: "I already knew about this this morning. With the strength of ending the band, this is the reward they deserve."

"Xiangzi, you don't have to be too excited. This is just the first step. They still have a long way to go."

Seeing Lin Yi so calm, Xiangzi gradually came out of his excited state.

He is right. We should not lose our composure just because of a little success in front of us.

As an assistant, she still has a lot of room for growth.

Xiangzi, who had calmed down, asked tentatively: "Lin Yi, I've seen that the reason why the number of views of our live video suddenly increased is because an up master named guitarhero covered the song."

"If this works, we might as well spend money to put some resources on the website, buy some traffic or cooperate with those up masters with many fans."

"Our songs are of high quality. As long as we can create hype, they may have a chance to become hits."

Listening to Xiangzi's analysis and suggestions, Lin Yi couldn't help but take a breath.

Using the left hand to broadcast traffic resources and the right hand to find people to hype it up, that's quite professional.

Not a sister? Weren't you a well-fed and well-off lady before? How do you still know this?

Of course Lin Yi knew that this was the right thing to do, but he would never do it.

Lin Yi couldn't think of a suitable rebuttal for the moment, so he had to play the emotional card.

He said earnestly: "Xiangzi, although this is a legal and compliant business behavior, I personally don't really like doing this."

"I think since we can rely on the strength of our work, we shouldn't consider such unorthodox methods."

"This is also my personal obsession. I hope you can understand me, Xiangzi."

After hearing what Lin Yi said, Xiangzi was silent for a moment.

Rejecting this kind of traffic hype cannot be explained by simple obsession, but can be said to be paranoia.

But Xiangzi didn't hate this paranoia.

Looking back at every moment he spent with Lin Yi, Xiangzi felt that perhaps it was this paranoia that made him so pure and so charming.

Xiangzi nodded, a smile appearing on his delicate face.

"This is also good, it can save some promotion costs."

"And even if we don't promote it, the popularity of the song might continue to rise. Don't you think so? Lin Yi~"

Chapter 46 The worst thing happened

"This car is the latest model of Toyota Alphard this year. It is the best-selling car in the same price range. If you want to buy it, sir, I can give you a preferential price."

"I see. Let's leave contact information first. I will contact you if I am interested in purchasing later."

Lin Yi exchanged contact information with the salesperson and then left the 4S store with Xiaoxiang.

Not long after walking out, Xiangzi couldn't help but complain: "Lin Yi, it's just a means of transportation, there's no need to choose something so expensive, right?"

She didn't go to school today, and spent the whole day hanging out outside with Lin Yi, under the pretext of investigation.

Investigate the future location of the office and select the bus.

After a day of shopping, Xiangzi had a deeper impression of Lin Yi. This guy really doesn't take money seriously. Isn't he afraid that there will be financial problems in the firm?

Lin Yi gave Xiangzi a blank look.

"What do you mean there's no need to choose something so expensive?"

"Hardware facilities are the face of a firm. Our goal at Xingyun is to become the best in the industry, so we must choose the best in these areas."

"Moreover, better material conditions are helpful for creation. We can't just endure hardships!"

"Xiangzi, as my assistant, you must change your mindset as soon as possible!"

Lin Yi spoke beautifully, but there was a subtle flash of regret in his eyes.

Today, under the guidance of the agent, he looked at many office spaces, with monthly rents of 100 million, 200 million, 300 million, or even higher.

I looked at a lot of mid- to high-end car models and even went to the job market to take a look.

His philosophy has always been not to choose the most correct one, but only the most expensive one. If he can raise the fixed expenses such as venue rental and employee salaries to a very high level, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to spend the money.

But the system obviously did not leave this bug.

[Warning: the office space, number of employees, and the value of various company items must be consistent with the size of the firm.]

The scale here refers to the number of artists under the agency.

Lin has now only recruited four people from the band, so all related expenses of the agency must be in line with the size of these four people.

To put it simply, Lin Yi did not have the staff to recruit, the size of the office space was strictly limited, and some luxury consumption that was not in line with the current situation was blacklisted.

Today, Lin Yi continued to test the bottom line of the system, and the final result was an office space with a monthly rent of 120 million, a car worth 400 million, and ten employees.

Although it is not as much as imagined, it is enough to fill all the holes in making money from CD peripherals.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it~ You're the boss, you have the final say!" Xiangzi had no way to deal with Lin Yi, so he could only make a cute aggrieved sound like a punching bag.

Lin Yi glanced at the cute girl beside him and snorted, "Are you still feeling wronged?"

As one of the few talents certified by the system, Xiaoxiang does not pick up the keyboard to show his skills, but instead occupies the firm's valuable staff positions, which is simply an obstacle to his money-making cause!

If it weren't for the fact that Xiaoxiang is delicious, cute and hardworking, I would have kicked her away long ago!

"Lin Yi, what are you thinking about?"

Xiangzi tilted his head and looked over, his amber eyes sparkling with light, as bright and beautiful as the stars in the night sky.

Lin Yi was briefly charmed by Xiangzi for a few seconds, he hurriedly looked away and changed the subject.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to eat, what do you want to eat?"

"Pfft!"

Xiangzi covered his mouth with one hand and couldn't help laughing.

In her impression, Lin Yi has used eating to change the subject more than once. Once or twice is not a big deal, but after hearing it many times, she felt that he was very cute for having this side of him.

"What are you laughing at!" Lin Yi was anxious. He felt that as a boss, he did not get the respect he deserved.

"Nothing." Xiangzi had a smile on her face. She tucked her hair behind her ears and said casually, "It doesn't matter where we go to eat."

After walking for a whole day, Lin Yi was too lazy to look for any high-end restaurant. He raised his head and looked around, then locked onto a Chinese restaurant.

It has been almost three months since he traveled across time, and Lin Yi already misses the taste of his hometown.

This restaurant is very stylish and plays some relaxing and soothing music in the store. The volume and style are just right and it doesn't feel noisy at all.

But the moment Lin Yi and Xiangzi walked into the restaurant, they noticed something was wrong.

This is clearly Taoxiang's voice...

"When the sunset knocks on my door, I suddenly want to hug you"

The song playing in the store was none other than "Yugurume" which was recently released by the band The End!

Xiangzi and Lin Yi looked at each other, the former showed a surprised expression, while the latter felt something was wrong.

After Lin Yi hurriedly ordered two dishes he wanted to eat, he handed the menu to Xiangzi, then stood up and walked to the counter and spoke to the boss in Chinese.

"Boss, what's the name of this song? It's pretty nice."

Hearing the authentic Chinese, the boss raised his head and his expression instantly became friendly.

"My daughter found it on some tube. Take a look at the name yourself!"

As he spoke, the uncle enthusiastically gave up his seat and showed Lin Yi the music player software on the computer monitor.

Lin Yi pretended to take a glance, and the uncle started chatting about family matters.

"What are you doing here, little brother? Studying or working?"

“I’m starting a business here.”

"Starting a business? Great." The uncle gave a thumbs up and praised, then looked at Xiangzi who looked like a JK and said, "Is this girl who came with you your girlfriend?"

Lin Yi waved his hands quickly: "No...we are just friends, don't misunderstand!"

The uncle gave an "I understand" expression and raised two thumbs up.

At this time, the waiter came over with the ordered menu. The uncle stopped him, looked down at him, and said to Lin Yi.

"Little brother, do you want to eat the authentic one or the local improved one?"
