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

Xiangzi leaned his hands on the desk and questioned Lin Yi condescendingly.

Lin Yi closed the browser casually, leaned back in his office chair, and looked at Xiangzi's chubby face when he was slightly angry.

For some reason, Lin Yi felt that Xiaoxiang had become more and more arrogant in recent days and was no longer taking him seriously.

Maybe it’s because he’s not serious about the firm’s business and procrastinates too often?

Alas, people really cannot understand each other.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Yi cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Xiang, didn't I tell you before? Don't think about work when you are in school. It won't delay your schooling."

Not being able to delay school was the only reason. The second was that if we talked about it after Xiangzi got out of school, then the start of this matter could naturally be postponed to tomorrow.

This is the great wisdom of your brother Lin!

Xiangzi frowned and argued: "But this time the CD matter is really urgent and important!"

"Important, so what?"

Lin Yi said in a tough tone: "No matter how important it is, it is not as important as studying hard and getting into a good university in the future!"

"Xiangzi, you must correct your attitude next time, otherwise you will no longer be an assistant!"

Chapter 63: Buy early and enjoy early, buy late and enjoy discounts!

No matter how important it is, it’s not as important as her studying hard?

It is obviously a major matter related to the firm's profits, but can it be ranked behind her in Lin Yi's eyes?

Whether in the past or now, Xiangzi rarely feels this level of care from others.

Maybe my past carefree self could bring this kind of care to others... No, not even my past self could.

In the past, she simply brought emotional value, which was just a child's game and was completely vulnerable in the face of interests and reality.

Xiangzi's gaze softened as he looked at Lin Yi.

She nodded heavily and showed a beautiful smile: "Yes! Next time I will definitely not let Lin Yi worry again!"

Lin Yi noticed the slightly different emotions in Xiangzi's words, but he didn't pay much attention to it and just thought that Xiangzi had taken his words to heart.

He motioned Xiangzi to sit down, and then said seriously: "I have made a decision about the CD. We will not cooperate with the record company, this time, and in the future."

Xiangzi pressed down the hem of her skirt, put her legs wrapped in thick tights together, and sat down gracefully.

She didn't rush to speak, but waited quietly for Lin Yi to explain the reason for doing so.

Lin Yi: “I think we should take a long-term view of Sunshine. I don’t want to restrict the agency’s business too much. We need to release our own records and build our own offline channels, so that we can become bigger and stronger.”

Xiangzi came from a good family, which gave her a vision that exceeded her peers.

No matter how well an ordinary firm develops, its ceiling is limited. If you want to truly become an industry giant, you need to and must make an attempt.

Xiangzi pursed his lips. He originally thought that Lin Yi was the type who was very talented but just did not do his job. He did not expect that he had such great ambitions.

I wrongly blamed him in the past.

"Lin Yi, I agree with your idea. How about I contact the factory directly?"

As Xiangzi said this, he pretended to stand up.

"and many more!"

Lin Yi was quick-witted and quickly leaned forward to push Xiaoxiang back.

Xiangzi looked puzzled: "Is there anything else?"

"I am going to adjust the selling price of the CD from 5000 to 1000."

This is the solution Lin Yi came up with, lowering the price!

Anyway, CDs are selling so well, a lot of people will buy them even if the price is set at 5,000, so it’s better to just lower the price and make less profit.

Although lowering the price would help increase sales, Lin Yi felt that the extra CDs sold would definitely not make up for the difference in profits.

The apparent selling price has only been reduced five times from 5000 to 1000, but the profit difference is more than five times.

He originally wanted to set the price lower, but 1000 was the bottom line of the system and it couldn't be lowered any further.

999 could also be chosen, but Lin Yi is not stupid.

“Why is it being lowered so much?”

Xiangzi looked at Lin Yi in confusion: "Consumers who buy our CDs rarely complain about the high prices, which shows that they recognize the value of CDs."

"Besides, 1000 is already the bottom price in the new CD market. Our work deserves a higher price!"

After hearing what Xiangzi said, Lin Yi's heart sank. He knew that if he couldn't convince Xiangzi, he would have no chance of lowering the price to 1000.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Xiangzi, do you know why I set the price of the CD at 5000?"

"why?"

Lin Yi glanced at Xiangzi calmly and said solemnly: "At that time, I felt that even if your live show was successful, you wouldn't gain too many fans in a short period of time."

"But I recognize the value of your work, so I set the price of the CD very high, hoping to supplement the funds with those few fans."

“If I could have foreseen how popular the song would be, I definitely wouldn’t have priced it that high.”

"I have always told you that Nebula is not an agency that is primarily oriented towards money and profit. This applies to employees and artists, as well as to the agency's projects and products. Music is something for everyone to enjoy. Nebula should take on some social responsibilities and give back to the public."

Xiangzi looked at Lin Yi seriously as he was talking. It seemed as if there was a new sun behind him, illuminating the surroundings.

He is such a pure person.

Xiangzi's amber pupils trembled slightly, and she was moved by Lin Yi's words.

"Lin Yi, I think what you said is right, but... the price of 1000 is really not appropriate."

Xiangzi paused and stated his reasons.

"The industry has its own set of pricing standards for CDs, and the price usually depends on two factors: the quality of the songs and the popularity of the band or singer."

“Although the band is not well-known, the quality of its songs is still very solid. Setting the lowest price will affect the industry ecology, and it will also be hated, excluded, and even suppressed by peers!”

Suppression is good, suppression is wonderful!

Lin Yi thought this was a good idea, but he could only think about it in his mind.

"So Xiangzi, what do you think the lowest it can go?"

Lin Yi emphasized the word "lowest" very strongly.

"1500, it really can't be any lower!"

Xiangzi was afraid that Lin Yi would bargain with her again, so her voice was particularly serious and her tone was particularly heavy.

Lin Yi looked at Xiangzi's determined eyes and felt hopeless, so he nodded and agreed.

Xiangzi looked happy, but she soon thought of another problem.

"Lin Yi, what about the 4200 CDs we sold at before? If we suddenly reduce the price by so much, they will have some objections, right?"

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, but he quickly thought of the advertisement at the beginning of the Live video.

【If no one buys, there will be a discount! 】

A brilliant idea appeared in Lin Yi's mind.

"Xiao Xiang, didn't the advertisement before the Live video make it very clear? If no one buys, there will be a discount!"

"There is a saying in the single-player game circle: 'Buy early and enjoy early, buy late and enjoy discounts!'"

Lin Yi waved his hand and made bold statements.

"Our agency needs to learn this spirit, so from now on, our agency's CDs will sell 5000 in the first two weeks of release, and 1500 after two weeks!"

As we all know, the speed of capital recovery is a very important issue for an enterprise.

The faster the funds are recovered, the lower the risk for the enterprise and the healthier the capital chain.

But this indicator is completely opposite to Lin Yi. The slower the funds are recovered, the better. It is best to wait until the end of the cycle before giving it to him.

Just waiting for two weeks can save 3500 yuan. Lin Yi thinks that no one can resist this temptation except those wealthy people.

After all, CDs are a one-time transaction. Even the richest person will only buy one. Compared with the huge purchasing group, CDs are not worth mentioning at all.

While reducing profits, it also delayed the time for profits to be credited to the account by two weeks. Is there any idea more brilliant than this?

While Lin Yi was feeling complacent, Xiangzi also sensed the profound meaning behind his move.

In the first two weeks, the rich are harvested to ensure profits, and then the prices are lowered to give back to the general public.

As expected of Lin Yi, he is so awesome!

Chapter 64: Who will be the new band member? Nagasaki Suyo is blocking the door!

"Goto Ichiri..."

The pink-haired girl in sportswear signed her name on the contract, and Lin Yi, who was sitting opposite her, also raised the corner of his mouth.

The "genius" guitarist Ichiri Goto is already in place!

Lin Yi happily locked the contract belonging to the firm into the safe in the office.

Goto Ichiri watched Lin Yi's actions quietly and didn't think there was anything wrong.

It was not until Lin Yi finished all this and sat down again, giving her a puzzled look, that Goto Ichiri spoke timidly.

"Um...um, President, is there anything I need to do now?"

"Goto-san, you can just call me Lin Yi. As for the matter... you are the only one working on the new band project right now, so it won't be too late to start working on the details once everyone is gathered."

Lin Yi held his chin with his hand and looked up and down at the girl in front of him.

Goto Ichiri is completely different from the lively and sunny girl like Aine Nijika. She is not someone who enjoys solitude like Ryo, and she is not as thorny as Nina.

She hopes to make changes and also hopes to be pushed by others.

Goto Ichiri has poor skills and personality flaws. Lin Yi used sweet words to pull her into the firm. Although he couldn't do it technically, he was still willing to help her.

"As for now... Goto-san, take your guitar and follow me."

Lin Yi stood up and greeted.

Just as Lin Yi was about to walk out of the office, the girl behind him called him.

“Lin…Lin Yi!”

Lin Yi turned around, "Goto-san?"

Goto Ichiri looked at Lin Yi nervously. It would be rude not to reciprocate. Lin Yi cared so much for her, she didn't want to say nothing.

She mustered up her courage and said, "Just call me by my name like Hongxia and Aine do..."

But this courage came and went quickly, the girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally dissipated into the air.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Okay, Ichiri."

Goto Ichiri felt relieved, and he clasped his hands in front of his chest with peace of mind, his brows curved, and his heart was satisfied.

That’s right, Goto Ichiri, this is the beginning of your change!

But at this moment, a strong feeling of dizziness surged up from bottom to top.

Oops! This body hasn't adapted yet...

……

In the practice room, Lin Yi talked to Goto Ichiri beside him.

"Yili, after the band practice they will also take a break. During this time, I hope you can play the guitar in front of them alone."

"This won't help the ensemble, but I think it should help Ichiri desensitize herself."

A guy playing guitar in front of the closing band??!!
