Top of the big era

The show ended around 10pm.

Boss Zhang and Boss Zhou were both gentlemen. They did not make any excessive demands. They danced four dances and did not pour wine on the girls. Everyone left happily.

Zhou Buqi and Xu Baihui left in a car, first went to the beauty salon to pick up Aunt Xue, and then sent Xu Baihui home. The route was well arranged.

"How much will it cost to invite them to dance tonight?"

"free."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised.

Xu Baihui said: "This is not called an announcement, this is called entertainment. Besides, even if it is an announcement, their group will not get much money, the brokerage company will take 80%. Jieyu Media is an important shareholder, and the two parties are strategic cooperation. In order to develop the domestic market, appropriate entertainment is necessary.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Girls have a hard time, so give me some subsidies."

Xu Baihui said with a smile: "Oh, Boss Zhou feels distressed!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said, "I can't say I'm distressed or not. I just feel that I can't bully others. I pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. This is business."

Xu Baihui looked at him meaningfully, "Tell me, who do you want to deliver the goods to?"

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment.

"Stop pretending!" Xu Baihui rolled her eyes at him, "Boss Zhou, don't I understand you?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Nothing, I'm not very interested in plastic surgery."

Xu Baihui disagreed, "What's wrong with plastic surgery? It's not the result of plastic surgery. She is already a beauty. It's just minor adjustments. It's not a big transformation like a Thai ladyboy."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Forget it, I've been too busy recently. Chaowan Commune even asked me to come over for a meeting to help plan the globalization strategy."

The corner of Xu Baihui's mouth twitched, "Is the Chaowan Commune also going to be internationalized?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "What do you call this? It was originally intended for overseas markets and has not been sold in China yet. The two movies "Red Cliff" do not have a good reputation in the country, so they cannot take advantage of the popularity and sell blind boxes. I guess. In a few months, the first blind box will be launched in China, a blind box figure of Manchester United players."

Xu Baihui was surprised, "Internationalization is so difficult, why does it seem so easy to you? How strange!"

"It's so easy. Ziweixing International is in crisis of bankruptcy at any time now. Cloud computing is a black hole, absorbing too much cash flow. If Helo on the mobile phone hadn't been promoted well, financing would have been smoother, but it might have been in big trouble. "

"What should the trendy play commune do? Also spread globally like Ziweixing?"

"No, this model is too risky. It's better to take it slow and find a middleman to sell it."

Zhou Buqi was helpless.

The concept of the Internet excludes middlemen, but there is no way. The strength of Chaowan Company is limited, and it is impossible to personally participate in every market. Then the operational pressure will be too great.

It's better to entrust a big company to help with sales.

Earning a little less is better than being safe.

After a while, when they arrived at the beauty salon, Zhou Buqi leaned in the middle and asked Aunt Xue to get in the car. She went to the beauty salon to check the accounts, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The manager of the beauty salon was arranged by Shi Jinglin, and she would often send people over to check on posts and accounts.

According to Zhou Buqi's wishes, it is better to give this beauty salon away, since it won't make much money, and give it to Jiang Bingjie and Li Xinwan to make them happy. The funder's father cannot be too partial. Miss Yang Mi has become the chairman of Farfetch China, so we cannot favor one over the other.

However, Aunt Xue still considers this as her career.

After getting in the car, Aunt Xue was very happy.

Apparently, business is good.

Xu Baihui said with a smile: "I have recommended all the female celebrities who work with Jieyu Media, so it's no surprise that business is doing better. Last night, I even brought Girls' Generation over to experience it!"

"Girls' Generation?" Zhou Buqi was very curious, "What projects did they do?"

Xu Baihui said: "Beauty, what else can it be?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, "In addition to beauty treatments, the beauty salon also offers body beauty. There are also breast augmentation, scar removal, abdominal scar removal, fat reduction, etc..."

Aunt Xue understood it as soon as she heard it, and said disdainfully: "Well, there is also hair removal."

Xu Baihui shook her head slightly, "Then I don't know. Anyway, there were 10 people including the agent yesterday, and they spent more than 30,000, which I paid. And then I brought them out to dance for you tonight."

"I'll go!" Zhou Buqi couldn't help but laugh, "You really know how to do business!"

Xu Baihui looked at him with complicated eyes, "Boss Zhou, why do I feel that you are evil-minded...do you still have a heroic heart?"

"What?"

"Stop pretending! It's girlhood!"

"Nothing."

Zhou Buqi sat upright, looking like a gentleman.

"Really?" Xu Baihui stared at him with burning eyes, "They will return to China in a few days. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to make arrangements when you go to the country. How can you make proper arrangements at home?"

This is correct. With Zhou Buqi's status, even if someone is killed, he can still be safe in the country. However, this obviously underestimates his character. Zhou Buqi said seriously: "What a mess, I am a law-abiding citizen. "

"You really don't want it?"

"don't want."

"Okay then." Xu Baihui shrugged and muttered to himself in a low voice: "I thought wrong! What a surprise!"

After a while, they arrived at Xu Baihui's home, which was a high-end high-rise apartment.

Just as he was about to open the door and get out of the car, Zhou Buqi suddenly called her out and coughed lightly: "Well...Baihui, if you really want to make arrangements, then just watch the arrangements."

"ha!"

Xu Baihui almost burst out laughing, this boss Zhou still had a flaw!

Zhou Buqi said with a serious face, "That's what I thought about it. This is the capital, we are the hosts, and they are the guests. I can't be too cold. It's appropriate to entertain them warmly."

Xu Baihui tugged the broken hair around her ears, "Okay, who do you like?"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said, "You can make arrangements! I can do it!"

Xu Baihui said: "How do I know who you like? You can't have nine of them together. Can you bear it?"

"You don't have to arrange everything, just break a few places. You can't bite off more than you can chew..." Zhou Buqi felt pain in his waist. He was pinched twice by Aunt Xue, and he quickly straightened up, "The capital is a beautiful international city. , always leave some good impressions on them.”

Xu Baihui said speechlessly: "Boss Zhou, are you crazy? There are so many perfect girls, they have all debuted two years ago!"

Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "What happened to the debut? Didn't you say that idol groups like this are banned from dating by the agency?"

Xu Baihui slapped her forehead and said, "Boss Zhou, that's all deception. It's the entertainment industry, it's the Korean entertainment industry! Besides, several girls are in their twenties. Can they not fall in love secretly in private?"

Zhou Buqi was not interested, "What kind of girlhood is that? It has become the age of young women, forget it! It's boring!"

Xu Baihui waved her fair little hands, "I'll go back and ask. There are a few girls who seem to be quite young. Maybe there's a chance."

…

The next day, Zhou Buqi went to Chaowan Commune.

The main departments of the Chaowan Commune have now moved to Shanghai, which is in the Yangtze River Delta and is closer to the toy factory, making it easier to supervise and manage, and to develop international business.

The capital here is mainly the design department.

Shi Jingmei and her two assistants came all the way from Shanghai to listen to Boss Zhou's instructions.

List the transcript first.

Very gratifying.

Because Manchester United's player blind boxes have been so popular, many Premier League giants have also sent in cooperation applications, including Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Liverpool, among which Liverpool is the most eager.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Liverpool? Those are our mortal enemies!"

Shi Jingmei is obviously more skilled than Wu Yu, and has done more in-depth market research. She said: "Manchester United's blind boxes are very popular, mainly because of its geographical advantage. Manchester has nothing, and the largest cultural and entertainment center is Manchester United. .So Manchester United fans are the most loyal and have the strongest spending power. There are too many entertainment projects in London. It is a dazzling international metropolis. Local fans spend their money on other entertainment projects and there is no Manchester United. 'monopoly'."

Zhou Buqi sat on the sofa, holding Wu Yu's little hand, and said with a smile: "It's not a big problem. Football culture is deeply rooted in the UK. There are many derivative products of football and the audience is very wide."

"But football star cards are not popular!" This is what Shi Jingmei is most worried about. "The player blind box model is similar to star cards."

The star card mode is also a blind draw.

Players buy a box of cards without knowing what's inside. If they're lucky, they might find a signed card of a star when they open it. If you are unlucky, they will all be unknown players.

The star card industry is relatively popular in the United States and can be used to create entertainment, but currently European football is still a niche business with a small audience.

The success of the Manchester United player blind box must be due to its geographical monopoly advantage. In Manchester, Manchester United is the largest entertainment consumer, and the fans are of course enthusiastic.

When you go to big cities like London, Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Milan, and Paris, you won’t have the same monopoly advantage as Manchester in football consumption.

If the player blind box encounters the same cold reception in the market as star cards, and Chaowan Commune has signed long-term contracts with many teams as he said before, and has to pay a sponsorship fee every year... then it will be a huge loss!

Shi Jingmei said: "The best model is the split model."

Zhou Buqi said: "No, the sharing model lacks competitiveness. There is no threshold for blind box business. What if a blind box company appears at this time and jumps out to sign long-term contracts with major teams and promises fixed sponsorship fees? What should we do? Isn’t the Chaowan Commune out? We can’t leave such a loophole."

Shi Jingmei said worriedly: "But the risk is very high."

"Is it big?" Zhou Buqi doesn't think so. "Europe is different from the United States. Americans regard the United States as a purely capitalist society. Star cards, a product that relies purely on hype and lacks practical significance, logically speaking, Europe is fine. It doesn’t make sense. The only value of the star card is the collection value. In addition to the collection value of the blind box, the figures inside are actually toys, which have functional significance and are more likely to be liked by children."
