Time flies, and it’s the eighth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.
He didn't stay at home for long. After receiving repeated urging calls from Ma Xuyi and Jiang Zhongnan, Li Qing said goodbye to his parents and headed back to the capital.
The atmosphere of parting is always a bit sad,
After thinking about his departure and meeting up with Ma Xuyi and Jiang Zhongnan, Li Qing decisively took out more than half of his current savings and opened a bank card.
, and deposited 100,000 yuan in cash inside and gave it to his parents.
The two elders felt sorry for their son's hard work in the capital, and refused to accept anything. In desperation, Li Qing lied that he spent too much money and asked them to help save for college tuition...
As soon as he got off the plane, Li Qing saw Ma Xuyi and Jiang Zhongnan waiting in the airport lobby. The three of them smiled and said hello, and then went straight out of the airport.
A black Mercedes-Benz nanny car was parked outside.
Li Qing marveled a few times.
It seems that Ma Xuyi and the others have really made a lot of money these days...
The tires and hood of this nanny car are so brand new that it looks like they are newly purchased.
When she opened the car door, she saw Bao Yunyun dressed in a killer look, with her legs crossed and wearing a Walkman headset, sitting in a carefree manner.
Li Qing took one big look and was immediately struck by lightning. Bao Yunyun's appearance was so intense that it was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
Short hair is fine, but why do you have to keep a handful of burgundy locks?
He was wearing tight black jeans that were distressed and had several holes in the knees.
The key point is that I'm not wearing long johns underneath. In this winter, you can see your fair thighs underneath!
The inner part of her upper body was a tight black T-shirt. Set against her flat belly, Bao Yunyun's well-developed breasts were absolutely eye-catching. What left Li Qing speechless was that this girl was also wearing a denim jacket full of inverted nails.
.
The most normal thing about the whole body is probably the pair of silver-white sneakers!
When I saw the long and thick gold chain hanging on Bao Yunyun's chest...
Li Qing almost laughed.
Who matched these clothes? What kind of aesthetics are these?
He couldn't bear it any longer and was worried that he would suffer internal injuries if he didn't speak. So he shook his head and sighed: "It's terrible!"
Bao Yunyun raised her eyebrows, took off her headphones, tugged on her gold chain with some embarrassment, and pouted: "It's not something I want to wear. The jewelry brand I just endorsed, this is their latest model, hello.
Hey, what are you laughing at? Who do you think is miserable? We haven’t seen you for a while. Are you feeling itchy? You’re looking for a beating! Do you know what a popular style is?”
"Okay, I won't argue with you."
Li Qing pushed Bao Yunyun and urged: "Sit inside!"
Bao Yunyun rolled her eyes at him, and finally moved her buttocks honestly.
After everyone got in the car, Jiang Zhongnan turned around and said with a smile while driving: "Yunyun is now a queen-level figure. She is cheering and screaming wherever she goes. Li Qing, you have to work hard."
"I call it low-key luxury with connotation." Li Qing said with a smile.
Bao Yunyun sneered: "Just you?"
Li Qing gave her a contemptuous look.
When Bao Yunyun saw this, she was immediately furious. She rolled up her sleeves instantly: "Why Qingzi, what do you mean by that look in your eyes? Are you not convinced? Come on, let's practice!"
Seeing that Li Qing and Bao Yunyun were about to fight, Ma Xuyi quickly took out a document package from the passenger seat and handed it to Li Qing: "Qingzi, look at the profit sharing report first. If you have any questions, let's solve them together.
No problem, just sign it. I’ll call the bank and I can transfer the money instantly.”
"Okay!"
Li Qing perked up and knew that this was the record sales share of "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom", so he quickly took over.
Li Qing's heart trembled as soon as he glanced at it. When he saw the sales volume of "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom" record, he almost dropped his eyes.
This is the sales report for the first month of the "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom" album.
The first week, 160,000.
Second week, 270,000.
In the third week, 320,000.
Fourth week. Two hundred and ninety thousand.
Sales of 1.04 million records in a single month!
Li Qing's contract is a three-point sales share, and the public selling price of a record is 15 yuan.
Therefore, the record sales share that Li Qing received in the first month was about 470,000.
And this is just a share of the sales of the records.
In addition, there is also a share of tape sales.
One month later, the sales of cassette tapes were about 2.5 million sets.
Based on the selling price of a box of tapes for 2 yuan, Li Qing's tape sales share is 150,000 yuan.
In addition, there is a share of the sales of vinyl records.
Although vinyl records have dominated almost the entire 20th century as a music carrier, due to the high price of vinyl records, when the CD era came in the early 1980s, the price dropped all the way, from the original 30 yuan per piece.
It cost more than ten yuan a piece.
However, since the 1990s, the price of vinyl records has gradually begun to rise.
By 1996, a record had sold for hundreds of yuan.
Although the price of vinyl records is high and the profit margins are large, no one is optimistic about this industry. Most people who work in shopping malls understand this. This is the so-called hunger marketing.
When something is missing, its value naturally increases.
If everyone makes vinyl records, under the strong squeeze of CD records, their profits will drop to the point where many factories will go bankrupt.
So today, many record player manufacturing factories have disappeared. By 1997, there were only one or two vinyl record manufacturers in the country that were still supporting them.
There's no way around it. Each time a custom order is made for a few thousand vinyl records, rarely more than 10,000, so after labor costs, material costs, etc. are factored out, the profits are simply disappointingly low.
The same is true for the album "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom". Although it has been released, the output is really not large.
The production volume in the first month was 10,000, but only seven or eight thousand were sold. A vinyl record sold for 119 yuan. Based on three points of income, the vinyl record black factory Li Qing received was also
It’s only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Li Qing actually felt a little regretful, based on the news he learned.
After 1998, vinyl records will completely withdraw from the market!
The only vinyl record manufacturing plant in the country that is still barely holding on will also announce its closure.
In the future, the price of vinyl records will reach two to three thousand yuan.
Some rare vinyl records can reach tens of thousands of yuan.
If I have the opportunity to release records in the future, I'm afraid I will be insulated from vinyl records.
With a sigh, Li Qing carefully read the sales details and then saw the last part, which was also the part he was most concerned about.
The total revenue from sales sharing is 21.66 million!
Li Qing knew that Ma Xuyi signed a contract with Hongzhi Records for a 40-60 share ratio.
In other words, because most of the production costs were with Hongzhi Records, 60% of them, totaling nearly 13 million, were taken by Hongzhi Records.
The remaining 40% was divided between Li Qing, Bao Yunyun, and Ma Xuzhen.
Bao Yunyun earned eight points, earning a pre-tax income of 1.73 million.
As a producer and manager, Ma Xuyi did everything himself, including album production, distribution contacts, advance funds to rent recording studios, and song purchases, so he was able to get 2.9 points, and his income was 6.28 million before tax.
.
Lee Sin has three points.
Therefore, the total income filled in by Li Qingneng on this report is 650,000 yuan before tax.
It was 150,000 yuan more than Li Qing imagined.
There was nothing to consider. The three points were what I had agreed to sign in the first place. Besides, 650,000 yuan was indeed a lot.
Li Qing picked up the pen on the document bag and signed his name in a swipe.
As his strength has been certified, it will be absolutely empty talk if anyone wants to give him the so-called three-point sales share in the future.
Ma Xuyi had been observing, and he was relieved when he saw that Li Qing's face remained expressionless and did not show any dissatisfaction.
He risked offending the expedition to cooperate with Li Qing, so he naturally took a fancy to Li Qing's potential.
To be honest, without Li Qing, he was confident that this album would be able to sell a platinum record, but trying to buy a million copies within a month is absolutely a fool's errand!
Seeing Li Qing sign his name lightly, he felt a little relieved. While taking the document bag from Li Qing, he smiled and said: "Qingzi, don't be too little, after all, this is only the first month's income.
, According to my estimation, the potential of the album "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom" should be more than two platinum albums, close to triple platinum."
Ma Xuyi was actually very emotional when he said this. He originally estimated that he could get a platinum album within a year, so he refused to agree to the five points proposed by Li Qing and settled for three points.
on this number.
It’s just that even he himself didn’t expect that the potential of this album would be so huge!
Sales of 1.04 million copies can be achieved in a single month!
If he had known this, let alone five points, even if like Bao Yunyun, he asked Li Qing to get eight points, Ma Xuzhen would not have any complaints.
