"Are you really going to set the price of the record at thirty yuan?" Su Xiaoli changed the subject.
"Yes!" Tang Feng nodded and said, "If possible, I would like to set the price at twenty-five yuan."
"If it's twenty-five yuan, wouldn't the profit be only ten yuan? For those dealers, this profit shouldn't be enough to fill their teeth." Su Xiaoli was quite surprised.
"Song Lei said the cost is about 15 yuan, but I think there is definitely room for compression. After all, 100,000 records and 10 million records are not at the same level. For such a large volume, the cost is completely acceptable
It is possible to drop it to 12 yuan, or even 10 yuan. In this case, even if the wholesale price is 15 yuan, for the dealers, there will still be a profit of almost 10 yuan." Tang Feng replied.
"Even if it is a profit of ten yuan, the dealers may not buy it. Of course, if all the customers are looking for it, the dealers should buy the goods." Su Xiaoli said.
"Don't worry. I have another plan, and I will take advantage of this opportunity to advertise the treasure-picking website." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"What's the relationship between records and Baobao.com?" Su Xiaoli felt very puzzled.
"Of course it does matter! I'm going to sell the records on the treasure-hunting website! As long as users are willing to place an order, they can have their wallets mailed to their homes for 25 yuan," Tang Feng responded.
"Twenty-five yuan for the wallet to be mailed to your home? In this case, the cost plus postage will probably make you lose money and make money." Su Xiaoli was a little worried.
"This is the effect we want. However, we shouldn't lose money, but we will make very little profit. We can have a good talk with these express companies to see which one offers a more suitable price." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"This idea of yours is indeed a good one!" Su Xiaoli nodded and said, "In this case, there will definitely be a lot of users who will be exposed to Baobao.com, which is equivalent to an advertisement."
"That's right! Pickup.com is now in its infancy. If it can quickly gather a large number of users, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent financing." Tang Feng said with a slight smile.
"Brother Feng, you are so smart!" When Su Xiaoli said this, she became a little excited and kissed Tang Feng directly!
But after the kiss, she seemed a little embarrassed.
Tang Feng's heart seemed to be blooming with joy.
"In the next few days, I have to seize the time to develop new software. Otherwise, Penguin's business line will have problems." Tang Feng said.
"What software are you planning to develop this time?" Su Xiaoli asked with interest.
"Anti-virus software. Nowadays, the number of computer terminals is increasing, and the demand for anti-virus software is also very strong. Therefore, I am going to develop the best anti-virus software on the market." Tang Feng answered truthfully.
"This is indeed a very important requirement. Otherwise, the computer will be infected from time to time, and no one can handle it." Su Xiaoli nodded.
"The main reason is that there are really many viruses now. Many Trojans want to steal users' data, especially game accounts. If you have a very good anti-virus software, you can definitely reduce a lot of losses." Tang Feng said.
"Are there many anti-virus software on the market now?" Su Xiaoli asked.
"Not too many. There are two models abroad and three models in China. The foreign ones are slightly better than the foreign ones, but the price is also higher." Tang Feng replied.
"In that case, wouldn't the price of the anti-virus software you developed be higher?" Su Xiaoli guessed.
"No!" Tang Feng shook his head and said, "When I was chatting with Song Lei and the others just now, I said that many things will be free in the future. The uu chat software and treasure-picking website I am developing now are both free.
The same goes for antivirus software.”
"But everything is free, how can the company make money? It's impossible to do charity, right?" Su Xiaoli found it difficult to understand.
As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world, but when we arrived at Tang Feng, everything changed.
"It's impossible to do charity. There are so many people in the company! And new investors will be introduced later and it will be listed. If you can't make money, these investors won't agree. It's just a change.
A way to generate income." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"What method? Selling advertising?" Su Xiaoli asked.
"Advertising is only one aspect. Many people are actually very repulsive to advertising. How to make ads that users like is a science. I will set up a special company to do this later. I mainly want to sell
Traffic." Tang Feng said lightly.
"Traffic? What is this? Is it the broadband we use when surfing the Internet?" Su Xiaoli guessed.
"To be precise, it's the number of users. For example, if I have one billion users, then I can push a lot of things they need to these users. In this way, I can naturally make a lot of money." Tang Feng answered.
"It sounds quite interesting." Su Xiaoli said.
"Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there is business. This is a truth that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Whether it is a website or software, as long as it has enough users, it means that it has obtained
A golden mountain. As for how much gold can be dug out from it, it depends on each person's ability. The eight immortals crossed the sea and each showed their magical powers." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Brother Feng! Why do I feel that your thinking is so advanced! What you are thinking about now is completely different from us." Su Xiaoli couldn't help but exclaimed.
Tang Feng smiled and said: "I am still crossing the river by feeling the stones now, just trying to find a better business model."
"But I think it sounds awesome. I believe you will succeed." Su Xiaoli's eyes were full of admiration.
"This is necessary! I want the software I designed to become the best in the world! By then, I will definitely be able to make a lot of money." Tang Feng looked confident.
"What are you going to do when you have so much money?" Su Xiaoli asked.
"Meet your own needs first, and then help others." Tang Feng replied.
"How did you say that sentence?" Su Xiaoli couldn't remember for a while.
"If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world." Tang Feng blurted out.
"Yes! That's it! When you have money and help others, I believe you will be very happy." Su Xiaoli nodded.
"What you are talking about involves Maslow's five levels of psychology. It must have been for food and drink at the beginning, and then gradually rose to a higher level. To use our ancient saying to describe it, it means that the family can rule the country and the world can be peaceful.
." Tang Feng smiled.
"It seems that we haven't taken the first step yet." Su Xiaoli sighed.
"In a few years! In a few years, when we get married and have children, we can naturally take the first step." Tang Feng said.
Su Xiaoli's face turned red when she heard him say the word "child".
Tang Feng took her into his arms and kissed her with his lips.
At this moment, when the atmosphere arrives, it is natural to...
Time passed minute by minute.
I don't know how long it has been.
Su Xiaoli felt like she was getting drunk.
After struggling for so long, she felt a little suffocated.
Tang Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw her blushing face.
"You bad guy! Just bully me!" Su Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him and punched him twice.
When Tang Feng saw this, he naturally smiled even more happily.
Tang Feng feels very satisfied with his current life.
He just wanted to play with Su Xiaoli like this.
This kind of life really makes people feel extremely comfortable!
Before his rebirth, he never dared to imagine that such a day would come.
Even if he likes Lidya Su, he doesn't dare to confess!
After all, he is not only a top student at Jingcheng University, but also an associate professor at Jingcheng University. Compared with him, there is a world of difference!
If it weren't for the accident, he might never know about Su Xiaoli's feelings for him in his entire life!
God allowed him to be reborn, and he must have been moved by Su Xiaoli.
Let him be reborn and take good care of the other person's life.
He must cherish this opportunity!
As the saying goes, the mountains and rivers in your eyes are empty and far away, and the falling flowers and wind and rain are more damaging to the spring. It is better to take pity on the people in front of you.
Tang Feng did not continue to play with the other party here, he went to the study.
He must seize the time and strive to develop the best anti-virus software on the market in the shortest possible time.
Of course, he did not directly bring anti-virus software to the same level as it would be twenty years later.
In that case, the generated program package will be very large, which will cause a great burden on the computers used by users.
There is nothing we can do about this. After all, it is 2003 now, and the computer configuration is completely different from that of 2023.
Su Xiaoli took advantage of his free time to develop software and brewed him a cup of coffee and prepared snacks and fruits.
This was to prevent Tang Feng from not having anything to eat around him when he was hungry.
Tang Feng was naturally deeply moved.
No matter what Su Xiaoli did for him, he felt particularly happy.
Maybe, he is love.
While Tang Feng was developing the software, Song Lei also mass-produced the first album Tang Feng recorded.
Although he knew very well that Tang Feng's record would definitely sell well. But to be conservative, he only found a factory to produce 1 million copies.
If it is not enough, you can continue to add more later.
After all, in his opinion, one million records is already a very big number.
The heads of other record companies have also received the news.
There was a quick discussion among them.
"This Song Lei is so brave! The first batch of records is one million! What if he can't sell them? With so many records, even if the cost can be reduced to about ten yuan, it will still be ten million.
."
"I have been in the industry for more than 30 years, and this is the first time I have seen the first batch of one million people! Needless to say, I have never seen one million or five hundred thousand people! Even those former kings and superstars only had ten at most.
Ten thousand or fifty thousand sheets. When they are almost sold out, we will start the second batch of production."
"One million copies! I'm really curious about how amazing this record will be, and why Song Lei dared to take such a big risk!"
"Even the current Zhou Tianwang in Taiwan would not dare to make so many records in the first batch! He is already the most popular singer recently!"
"King Zhou Tian is indeed amazing! But I heard that this record made by Song Lei is related to Tang Feng from Capital University."
"Who is Tang Feng? Why do I feel like I have heard of this name, but I can't remember it for a while."
"He is a super genius at Kyungseong University! His mathematics level has reached the pinnacle of the world! Of course, in addition to mathematics, he has also made many achievements in other areas. Even in music, he also won the title of Campus Singer of Kyungseong University
First place in the competition.”
"I thought it was some great award. After working for a long time, I won the first place in a campus singing competition? This is nothing! There are many people who are better than him!"
"He just participated in this competition. I believe that with his ability, even if he participates in the National Singing Competition, he has the ability to win the championship."
"Does he have any representative songs? I want to find them and listen to them."
"It shouldn't be available online. His songs are all original. He writes the lyrics and music himself and sings them himself. I think this is very rare."
"Original music is indeed rare. Even the stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan have covered many foreign music works, especially those from Neon Country."
"The songs of Neon Country are indeed good, and the lyrics are hard to describe. Many of the lyrics adapted by Hong Kong and Taiwan are indeed very good. Of course, I still strongly support originality. After all, our country has a history of five thousand years and a long-lasting culture. There is no
You have to always follow others."
"When will this new album produced by Song Lei be released?"
"It probably happened in the past two days. However, I heard that the price of the record is very low."
"The cost is here, and the dealer's profit needs to be guaranteed. No matter how low it is, how low can it be." Some people disagree.
"I heard the price of the product is 30 yuan."
"Impossible! Are you kidding me! How can it be so cheap! Compared with the previous price, this price has been cut in half!"
"That's right! At 30 yuan, the profit is simply pitiful! Song Lei also runs a record company, and he's not doing charity, so it can't be so cheap!"
"Don't be afraid of 10,000 yuan. Just be afraid of what happens. If it is really 30 yuan, how are you going to deal with it?"
"What to deal with? There is no need to deal with it at all! We don't just listen to one person's songs! Even if he sells it for ten yuan or five yuan, it won't have much impact on us." Some people disagreed.
"That's right! How many records can he release in a year? The profit is so low, only someone out of his mind sells it so cheaply!"
"But what if he signs another singer?"
"With such a low profit, no singer would be willing to sign a contract with him! Don't worry! I guess it's probably just a gimmick! Make the first record cheaper to gather popularity, and then increase the price for the next record! This way
The routines are all played badly by us."
According to Tang Feng's previous arrangement, Song Lei found Ma Teng.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement.
On the main page of the uu chat software, six songs from Tang Feng's first album are placed in the most conspicuous position.
All users can try it once for free.
If you think it sounds good, you can go to the audio and video store to buy it. If the local audio and video store does not have it, you can open the Zhuobao.com to place an order. In a slightly larger city, it can be there almost the next day. In a smaller city, you need to be patient.
Wait a few more days.
In order to cope with the large-scale purchase, Zhu Zihang temporarily added a lot of manpower.
He knew very well that for Baobao.com, this was the first test it had faced since its establishment!
It must be completed with quality and quantity!
At the same time, he also reached a cooperation intention with Huaguo Post Express to deliver mail at a relatively cheap price.
The entire record industry exploded when they heard the selling price!
Obviously, they never dreamed of it!
Tang Feng’s first album sold for only 25 yuan!
It’s 5 yuan cheaper than the 30 yuan they heard before!
This selling price has far exceeded their imagination!
"Is this Song Lei crazy? A record costs 25 yuan! Damn it! It's the same price as a pirated record!"
"Is there something wrong in his mind? What on earth is he thinking! In this case, is there any profit? Can we still sell these records?"
"25 yuan! Even if the cost is only 10 yuan! Even if you make all the remaining money, it won't be much money!"
"And he is still selling it online! And he also offers free shipping! Not to mention anything else, the postage alone is estimated to cost 5,678 yuan."
"It's so cruel! In all the years I've been in the industry, this is the first time I've encountered a price war that's so ruthless! Not only is it not giving a way for colleagues in the industry, it's also not giving a way for pirates! It's awesome!"
Of course, Song Lei also received many calls from colleagues.
He followed what Tang Feng had told him before and put all the blame on Tang Feng!
"Mr. Yang, I'm just a part-time worker! Who am I qualified to set the price? Mr. Tang set the price himself! He thinks 25 yuan is enough, but I can't help it!"
"Mr. Chen, don't call me and ask me! If you really want to know, you can go directly to Mr. Tang! He set the price!"
When everyone heard such a reply, naturally they could only ignore it.
However, users are naturally happy when faced with such a price.
Not only did they hear about it for free on the uu chat software, but they also took the initiative to place an order on Zhuobao.com!
After all, because the price is so cheap, many local dealers simply don’t stock it!
Many people, especially student groups, simply count how many people in the school have bought, and then come together to place an order. In this way, everyone does not have to go to the post office or bank one by one to transfer money.
Tang Feng's six songs quickly became popular all over the country!
It shot directly to the top of various music charts.
Tang Feng’s songs also started playing in the streets and alleys!
Song Lei struck while the iron was hot and directly granted the copyright to the song to Lifeng Networks.
Lifeng Network Company and Huaguo Mobile Company cooperated to produce all these songs into mobile phone ringtones!
You know, a ringtone costs two yuan!
Even if you only get 20% in the end, you can still get 40 cents for a ring tone!
One million ringtones equals 400,000!
Of course, Tang Feng's six songs were so popular that they had been downloaded more than 50 million times in less than a week!
Horrible! It’s really terrible!
In other words, the record company earned 20 million from the ringtone business alone!
This is just the beginning!
In the coming time, people will continue to download it!
After a week of busy work, Song Lei appeared in front of Tang Feng.
Tang Feng has completed the development and testing of the anti-virus software and is sitting in the yard chatting with Su Xiaoli.
The lazy sunshine fell on his body, making him feel extremely comfortable!
"Mr. Tang!" Song Lei came to him and said hello!
Tang Feng asked the other party to sit down.
"You guys chat!" Su Xiaoli got up and went back to the living room.
"Mr. Tang, your decision is really wise! In just one week, the cumulative sales of records have reached 8 million! According to the net profit of 5 yuan per record, almost 40 million has been recorded! In addition, Lifeng
The Internet company also gave us a share of 20 million yuan! There are also other derivatives, and we are also rushing to produce them! If nothing else happens, there is no problem with your record earning over 100 million yuan." Song
Lei seemed very excited.
"Eight million, which is still two million short of 10 million. When do you think we can reach 10 million?" Tang Feng asked.
He is not very interested in income.
What he is most concerned about now is when the tasks released by the system can be completed!
Only by completing the mission can you get 50,000 points and the blueprint of the supercar!
"It will take about another week. The sales volume of records is the strongest in the first week, and will gradually decline after that." Song Lei replied.
"Work harder and strive to achieve this goal as soon as possible." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Mr. Tang, your songs have become so popular now. Many brands have approached me and want to ask you to be their image spokesperson. Do you want to consider it?" Song Lei discussed with the other party.
"No." Tang Feng shook his head and said: "Except for my own company, I will not serve as a brand spokesperson for any company. Because I don't know if something will happen to this company. Once something happens, it will definitely affect
My image and credibility."
"But the price offered by the other party is still very attractive." Song Lei reminded the other party.
"You can't make enough money." Tang Feng glanced at him and said, "I don't want to rely on those fancy things to make a living. Now I just want to do something I like to do."
"Okay. Since you don't agree, then I'll call them all and talk about it when I get back." Song Lei nodded.
"How did you do what I asked you to do?" Tang Feng asked.
"I have selected more than 20 young people who can sing well. When are you free? I will call them together to meet you." Song Lei replied.
"Twenty or so is still too few. You can expand the scope. Aren't there eight conservatories in the country? Find a way to pick out all the good ones. By then, at least half of them will be eliminated. Twenty
If there are many people eliminated, there will probably only be a few left." Tang Feng gave advice.
"Okay!" Song Lei nodded and said, "I will try to find more good seedlings."
"While I am still young, I have to seize the time to cultivate more talents for the Chinese music industry. In this way, in another ten or even twenty years, Chinese music will definitely have so many backbones.
Get better." Tang Feng said lightly.
"Mr. Tang, when are you going to make your second album? You are so popular now, we should strike while the iron is hot." Song Lei asked very urgently.
"Let's talk about it later. I have more important things to do." Tang Feng responded.
"After a while, if your popularity goes down, it will definitely have an impact on record sales." Song Lei was a little worried.
"Good songs need to be created with care, not just to gain popularity. Relying on the income brought by this record, the company can also live well. Next, your main task is to discover more good ideas. Song
Anyway, you can’t make enough money, so you have to put your mind on the future.” Tang Feng said seriously.
"Okay! I listen to you! Get it done right away!" Song Lei couldn't wait.
