"The concert tickets were sold out just five minutes after they were put on the shelves?" Yang Ruoqian looked at the data on the table and sighed with lingering fear.
Nowadays, most of the popular concert tickets are basically sold out in three seconds. Selling out in five minutes may seem far worse, but everyone knows the tricks...
There is absolutely no scalping involved in the sale of Dragon and Phoenix Legend's concert tickets.
In other words, all buyers are real buyers! Many people did not expect that the product could be sold to such an extent.
"Fortunately, I only raised the price a little bit at the beginning. This is called foresight." Yang Ruoqian closed the report. "Haha, I feel that a large number of these people came here for the so-called mysterious product purchasing rights..."
I wonder what these people will think when they find out that the so-called mysterious product is just a disc with slightly more exquisite packaging?
I'm afraid he'll jump up and curse, right? Yang Ruoqian took out his phone and sent a message to Spark Records: "Huang Wei, did the group's operations assign you a job yesterday? How's your work going?"
Huang Wei: "Mr. Yang, we are still discussing... but the cost will not be reduced. The disc market is different now than before. It has shrunk greatly. If the scale cannot be increased, the cost will not be reduced. You may need to give us more budget."
Yang Ruoqian was delighted when he saw the news: "Don't worry, the budget is sufficient, just tell me the number."
The higher the cost, the happier he is.
Huang Wei hesitated for a moment and typed: "Mr. Yang, in fact, we have done so much before and we know some manufacturers. Although they are not well-known, their quality is good and the fees are not high. There is no need to outsource completely."
When the company received the notice yesterday afternoon, it held an emergency meeting. All think tanks actively discussed the order issued by Yang Ruoqian, fully exchanged opinions with each other, and achieved many results worthy of attention.
To put it simply, after talking for a long time, we still didn't come to a conclusion.
If the group wants to outsource, it can do it itself. Why is it throwing it to them? Could it be that... Mr. Yang wants to borrow the human resources accumulated by Spark Records?
I'd like to ask if there are any manufacturers with lower cost?
Yang Ruoqian: "No, just choose the most expensive one, the most famous one in the industry. Cost is not a problem, but it must be foolproof, understand?"
By then, if the plates that cost 888 yuan each cannot be sold, all of them will be stuck in my hands, which will be another huge loss!
Judging from the current situation, as long as there are no accidents, even if there are no major accidents, even if the box office of "Wandering Blue Star" can really maintain the level of "Black Robe Inspection Team", it will definitely lose money this quarter! But...how is this possible? "Wandering Blue Star" is Yang Ruoqian's imitation of "Magic City Fortress" with the greatest and most cautious attitude.
Even if some people go to see this movie just for the name of Kuiguang Group, they will definitely cry out that they have been cheated, and the box office performance will not be that good in the end.
The revenue from champion skins and the combined revenue from various industries are definitely not as much as the horrific expenses of movie investment and aircraft operations this quarter.
On the premise of ensuring losses, according to the rule that the system will subsidize 10% of the losses, Yang Ruoqian will of course raise the costs as high as possible.
Huang Wei had no idea what Yang Ruoqian wanted to do, so he could only mechanically reply, "Okay, Mr. Yang, I'm trying to contact him..."
The issue of selling tickets for the concert had been almost settled. Yang Ruoqian closed Huang Wei's chat box and called Wei Ling again.
Now it’s time to ask the fans if there have been any unexpected incidents with the group tickets.
"Boss Yang? Business isn't busy lately?" Wei Ling made a joke as soon as she picked up the phone.
"I've been busy with your business recently." Yang Ruoqian also laughed, "I have good news for you. The concert tickets are very popular. They were all sold out within a day."
Five minutes is also one day, so there is actually nothing wrong with what Yang Ruoqian said.
Wei Ling said in a relaxed tone: "Boss Yang, you are really modest... The message from the support group said it would take five minutes."
To be honest, even though the two members of Dragon and Phoenix Legend have gone through so many ups and downs, seen many big scenes, succeeded and failed, but after all, this is their first concert in their lives, so a little bit of nervousness and anticipation is still inevitable.
Now that the concert ticket sales are out, they have far exceeded their expectations, so it is impossible to say that they are not happy.
"Supporting group?" Yang Ruoqian was stunned for a moment, "As singers, do you join a supporting group?"
Generally speaking, this kind of group is organized spontaneously by fans. If they can invite the star’s agent or a staff member from the studio to join, it is already a big deal, and it can be called "official"!
Could it be that Wei Ling took the initiative to join this kind of support group? Isn't she afraid of being @ed and having her mentality explode?
"Of course not, but we still have informants in those big groups." Wei Ling laughed, "Sometimes the stars have to pay for the fans' behavior, so try to avoid it if you can."
"Also, Boss Yang, the company has really helped us too much. It's totally unnecessary... We won't make much money from selling the concert tickets at this price, right?"
Wei Ling said solemnly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "We two can really make money, why do I feel like you are taking care of us like a child?"
The two have performed in many shows, and they know that this income may not be enough to pay for their performance fees and venue costs.
But the problem is... as long as they follow the default rules in the industry, they will definitely make money from this performance! Why is Mr. Yang doing this? Yang Ruoqian said seriously: "That will hurt the fans. A scalper ticket can easily increase the price by three or four hundred yuan. They will definitely be very dissatisfied."
"Boss Yang, do you think the fans don't have big complaints now?" Wei Ling laughed bitterly. "There's not a single ticket on the second-hand market right now, and there aren't enough tickets from the fan clubs to sell. Many people are very dissatisfied."
"They said we sold the tickets so cheaply that they were sold out in a few minutes. Real fans couldn't get a ticket, and they couldn't buy tickets from scalpers. They didn't know what to do with the money they had..."
"Many people hope that we can raise the price a little when we sell tickets in the future, otherwise there will be too many people buying and they won't be able to buy them. And they also say that they don't need the few hundred dollars..."
"Boss Yang, it's not just one or two fans who are asking for this, but a large number of fans who are asking for this. They hope that the ticket prices can be set higher next time, or that some special seats with very high prices can be offered."
I hope the price is a little higher, I don't need these few hundred dollars... and I want to pay a very high price for special seats?! My goodness, young people nowadays are so smart, they think things are too cheap, right?
When there are scalpers, they curse the scalpers. When there are no scalpers, they curse that the official ticket prices are too low and they cannot be bought. How can they be served to be satisfied?
But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Ruoqian roughly understood the reason.
It's simply that the demand and supply are too unbalanced, and the number of concert seats is far less than the number of people who want to watch the concert.
The stadium is so small, it’s impossible to expand it just for a concert, right?
Even if the stadium can be expanded, the area that the concert can cover will always be limited. If the distance is too far, the atmosphere will be gone.
There is actually only one way to solve this problem - raise prices.
Until the price rises to the point where some people give up buying, demand becomes lower and lower, and is balanced with supply.
However, Yang Ruoqian already knew the organizer's considerations. If the official ticket prices for concerts of different singers differed too much, it would likely lead to the organizer being supported by fans of one side.
The fighting power of celebrity fans is a little too strong, and it is unwise to provoke them.
So they can only rely on scalpers to raise prices to balance supply and demand...
Forcing the product to be sold at a fair price will also offend those customers who are willing to pay a high price but cannot buy it at all.
Raising prices offends people, and lowering prices also offends people. It is no wonder that so many stars simply lie down and leave everything to the invisible hand of the market.
Yang Ruoqian understood this, but he didn't want to change it at all, and said directly: "If I can't get a ticket, I can only blame my slow hands, how can I blame the low ticket price?"
"How can it be cheaper? The price has been the same for so many years. Let them look at themselves and find out whether their wages have increased too fast in recent years."
"We won't raise the price. It will never increase. This is the price. If you can't buy it, come back next time! Instead of complaining about the low price of the product, you should practice your hand speed more."
"Okay, that's it. If you have any questions, ask me again."
After saying that, Yang Ruoqian hung up the phone and leaned back on the sofa.
In fact...it will be difficult for Yang Ruoqian to decide the ticket prices for the next Dragon and Phoenix Legend concert.
This loss is just a one-time deal and cannot be a sustainable business.
After all, everyone saw how popular the tickets for Dragon and Phoenix Legend were at the first concert. Unless the organizer was stupid, they would not have given the tickets to Kuiguang Group to sell.
Unless the Kuiguang Group builds its own stadium in the future and lets its own artists perform in its own venue, it will be able to completely take over the rights to sell tickets.
But Yang Ruoqian currently has no intention of building any large-scale projects... As for sports-related business, the system is not open for the time being.
Investing in stadiums across the country just for the company's artists' concerts will not be counted in the quarterly profit and loss.
"The current business scope allowed by the system is still limited to the entertainment industry and its extensions, and has not expanded to the entire entertainment industry..."
"It doesn't matter. Although Kuiguang Group has a lot of money now, its scale is really not big."
After all the calculations, there are only two works that are really worth showing off, and there are only four or five artists under the company who are worth showing off.
There are many more projects that can be developed in the future.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed time to recruit another artist into the company. We won't lose much money just relying on Shang Qianyu, a little fool...
Even if you are not careful, it may bring a lot of unnecessary profits to the company.
Fortunately, she was arranged to join the crew of "Wandering Blue Star" this time...
"That's great. I'll take this opportunity to ask the HR department about the progress of their administrative secretary recruitment. And then I'll ask them to help me find new artists."
While Yang Ruoqian was searching for Lu Shuyuan's name, he sighed, "I'm so busy. I've already contacted three people in this morning. Sigh. I'm a hard worker, but now I only have a little over 4 million in my bank account. Is that reasonable?"
"Xiao Lu, last time I asked you to help me find an administrative secretary assistant, how is the progress now?"
Lu Shuyuan: "Boss Yang, we have almost found one. After a preliminary discussion, we all think one of them is very good. How about showing it to you?"
Yang Ruoqian attached great importance to this assistant who had to be able to accurately convey his meaning: "Tell me about it, let's take a look together."
An unprofessional assistant who even interferes with the boss's decision-making is too hellish, even if from a comprehensive perspective, such an assistant may reduce the efficiency of some companies...
But from Yang Ruoqian's personal perspective, he really didn't want to have such a person jumping around in front of him.
It’s hard to say whether it will really cause problems for the company, but it’s definitely frustrating just looking at it.
It is really unnecessary to bring trouble upon yourself just for an uncertain loss of function.
Lu Shuyuan quickly sent a resume with a short introduction: "This person's name is Qi Mu. She has three years of experience in the industry. We asked her several questions and she performed very well."
Yang Ruoqian nodded as he looked at the resume: "Tell me what specific questions were asked."
Lu Shuyuan explained: "They are all specific cases that have occurred in the company, as well as classic orders that you have personally issued."
"For example, when we bought a heated swimming pool... Qi Mu's approach was to detail the various costs of a heated swimming pool, the possible expenses, and the expected customer flow, and then confirm the order with you."
"If you are sure, she will pass on the order word for word."
"If other departments have work to report to you, she will first check the authenticity of these reports and fill in the gaps at the data level. If there are no problems, she will hand them over intact."
"If there are any problems, she will submit both the original report and the revised report to you..."
"On the whole, he is very professional, and he has sufficient knowledge about the entertainment industry."
Yang Ruoqian looked at Qi Mu's resume, nodded slightly, and thought that this person was indeed good.
The knowledge is broad enough that as long as an idea is proposed, specific data can be given, and it is not self-willed. Whatever the boss says is the truth...
No matter how outrageous the order seemed, she would only do three things: report data, confirm, and execute.
It is really worry-free and is an ideal administrative secretary assistant.
"Okay, then it's Qi Mu." Yang Ruoqian made the decision directly, "Send her an offer letter and ask her when she can come to work in the group." (End of this chapter)
