Inside the Huaxia Institute of Labor Relations, the autumn wind is bleak, the sycamore trees are swaying vigorously, and the withered yellow leaves are rising in the sky.
Gao Yuanyuan was walking absentmindedly on the road when she heard a call from her mobile phone: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on a call..."
She turned to writing text messages, editing, deleting, and editing.
"If you want to post it, just do it quickly. Don't worry about it." Hu Lanxin nudged her with her elbow to encourage her.
Gao Yuanyuan shook her head: "He has been very busy recently."
"Hey, he's busy, are you free now? That's good, let's go to Guangjiao."
Gao Yuanyuan was surprised. "Guangjiao" was a video store near the school, "Why are you going there?"
Hu Lanxin said: "Of course I will buy "Westward Journey". You don't know how popular it is. Shuimu and Peking University have gone crazy. It has spread to our school. We can't go out."
Gao Yuanyuan groaned, thinking of Lu Fei's prophecy when he sent the VCD, and a feeling of warmth surged in her heart.
Along the way, the students I bumped into opened their mouths. Almost all of them talked about "Journey to the West", longed for Bai Jingjing and the Supreme Treasure, sighed at Zixia and the Supreme Treasure...
Hu Lanxin was the same, chattering endlessly: "Yuanyuan, the 10-set "Screening Room 10" is really good. I highly recommend you to watch it."
"I saw it. I saw it yesterday too."
Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, walked into the wide angle with her best friend, and was instantly shocked by the sight in front of her.
I saw that the checkout counter was crowded with people, noisy and chattering, but if I listened carefully, they were talking about the same thing——
"Boss, I want "Westward Journey"!"
The boss's face changed, and his expression twisted into a ball. He felt embarrassed, unwilling, and anxious. He shouted loudly:
"Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet. There are only 3 sets of VCDs in the store now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately erupted into screams of "Ah" in unison, and then fell into a scramble. Some of them screamed desperately as if they were sure to win, as if they were in a fight.
Unconsciously, I actually shouted 35 yuan!
The boss was also shocked, 35 yuan a piece, the purchase price was only 15 yuan, the blood profit was 20 yuan!
However, instead of being happy, I actually regretted why I didn’t make more progress in the first place!
Watching the customers leave, he quickly stopped and said: "Wait a minute, students, if you are willing to wait, you can register. When the goods are available, we will notify you immediately."
"Then when will the goods be available?" Hu Lanxin said depressedly.
"Soon, soon. I've already called the publisher to urge you. I'm urging you every day."
The boss looked at the densely packed names on the list. There were more than forty people. This was still a name left, but not left. It was estimated that there were more than a hundred people.
"These two classmates, do you want to register?"
"Forget it, let's go look elsewhere first."
Hu Lanxin waved her hand, grabbed Gao Yuanyuan, and ran around, visiting the audio and video bookstores near the school. They were almost out of stock. As soon as she entered the door, she ran into the boss who was on the phone to urge the publisher.
The scope has further expanded, and the number of students competing with them has decreased. However, the rush-buying team has not shrunk, but has further expanded. They are all office workers, especially white-collar workers.
Not to mention buying, you can’t even rent!
"Lan Xin, why don't you forget it first? I think the store doesn't have it in stock right now. If it does, it's too expensive. It costs thirty or forty."
Gao Yuanyuan exhaled and walked around with her best friend. She actually felt a sense of superiority. She had the VCD of "Westward Journey" that no one else could grab!
"Okay, there is still no street in front, forget it." Hu Lanxin sighed.
Suddenly, she was lightly patted on the back, causing her whole body to tremble.
They turned around suddenly and saw a woman carrying a child on her back. She opened her handbag and said softly: "Girl, do you want a plate?"
"Sister, do you have "Westward Journey"?"
Hu Lanxin looked into the bag and saw that it was full of CDs. Combined with her outfit, there was no doubt that they were pirated.
"Yes, yes, of course there is. How could there not be such a popular one? But there are only 2 sets. Now this film is very popular. People buy it as soon as it comes out. I also stocked up on old stuff before."
The woman skillfully took out the CD and opened her mouth. One set cost 12 yuan.
Gao Yuanyuan opened her mouth, pirated copies are so expensive!?
…………
"Dingle bell, jingle bell~"
The calls from the Beijing office of Xiying Audio and Video Publishing House have not stopped during this period. The clerks have already received calls from nervous breakdowns. The content is probably the same——
tnnd, why is it not in stock yet! Send it to me quickly!
The clerk responded tiredly, as if he had shed a layer of skin, "Director, this is from the audio and video bookstore in Fengtai."
Damn, there’s another area!
Zhu Jie's forehead was covered with black lines, and his mood was like a roller coaster. When he cleared out the inventory of "Westward Journey", he was as happy as he was, soaring into the sky, but now he fell directly to the bottom and fell into the abyss.
Why is this movie so popular again for no reason?
He said helplessly: "Don't worry, we have contacted the factory and are working overtime to produce a batch of VCDs.
"How many days are there, Director Zhu? I get dozens of people asking me for "Westward Journey" every day. I'm very anxious!"
"You also know that this movie has been cold for so long. It will take time to put it back on the production line..."
Zhu Jie finally finished comforting the store owner and just took a few breaths when the phone rang again.
This time, it’s the Shanghai Stock Exchange!
There is no surplus food in the Shanghai market, and there is also a supply shortage for "Westward Journey".
The boss of the Shanghai Stock Exchange said: "Lao Zhu, please help me. Where is your inventory? There are 50,000 units that have been unsold. I ate them all!"
"Haha, someone has already eaten it."
Zhu Jie uttered two words in frustration, feeling angry in his heart.
A few days ago, Lu Fei had already settled the payment for 50,000 sets of goods at 6 yuan per set, a total of 300,000 yuan. When delivering the goods, he laughed at him like he was stupid, but now——
The clown is myself!
Looking at the 50,000 sets in the warehouse, I can only look at them, but I can't distribute them. Small money is floating in front of my eyes. I originally thought that there would be 10,000 or 20,000 sets left and they could be diverted to other stores. According to the current situation, "Westward Journey" is basically
Don't worry about selling.
Blood loss!
Why did you sell it for only 6 yuan? Let’s say less than 10 yuan!
At this time, Zhu Jie's heart was bleeding.
At this moment, on the TV hanging on the wall, the Yangma channel was playing an advertisement. A clip from "Westward Journey" appeared on the screen, and then Long Bing's broadcast voice said:
"Buy the VCD of "Westward Journey" on Double Eleven on Feishou.com.
The flash sale price is 8 yuan per set, and there are other products gathered together on one website, Feigou is waiting for you to buy!”
15 seconds passed by in a fleeting moment. Zhu Jie stared with wide eyes and his face was ashen.
After a while, calls came from all major provinces and cities, also urging for "Westward Journey". All they could do was comfort them with kind words, and their words were all worn out.
"One week, the goods will be available in the next week!"
He took a breath and changed the channel. The advertisement was from Feigou.com.
"Buy the VCD of "Westward Journey" and go to Feishou.com on Double Eleven..."
The more I watched, the more annoyed I became. I pressed the remote control and changed the channel again. It was still from Feigou.com:
“The flash sale price is 8 yuan per set, and there are other products gathered together on one website, Feigou is waiting for you to buy!”
Why the hell are you everywhere?
It was like a slap in the face, a slap on Zhu Jie's face. It was a double psychological and physical blow.
The most outrageous thing is that the advertisement was authorized by Western Film Group.
