Chapter 1140 It’s so Rare

There are not many domestic flights nowadays, but there are still passenger flights between some big cities.

In fact, if you are not just talking about taking passenger planes, there are still many planes flying in the sky that you can use.

For example, when Yin Jun was on a passenger plane, he saw a large group of men and women queuing up to board a transport plane. It seemed that it had been modified to have seats?

However, due to the special performance of the transport aircraft, the comfort level may be much different.

But no matter what, if you can fly in the sky, it will be much better, because the trains these days can make people despair.

If you sit far away, it can be done for you in a month.

From Huajing to Lin'an...

Well, with some luck, we should be able to arrive in a week.

If you are unlucky and encounter an accident ahead of you, you will have to wait.

Yin Jun had read this information before and thought it was interesting at the time. But when he returned to this era, he realized that we had actually done enough in the past forty years.

For any other country, on the basis of poverty, such a large population base, and such a vast land, I am afraid that the best that can be done is to be like us.

Not to mention these sentiments.

Yin Jun took Shi Qiang and Cai Huzhu and successfully arrived at Lin'an Airport at noon.

After getting into the car that picked him up, Yin Jun arrived at the factory of Kirin Electronics Company and met Huo Jianning, who was very busy.

When the Qilin Food Company in Huajing opened, Huo Jianning originally wanted to go there, but recently there was a problem with the music tape, so Huo Jianning had to stay in Lin'an to deal with it.

Looking at the way Huo Jianning is holding the phone and talking now, things should not be going smoothly.

"What's wrong?" After he finished speaking in Mandarin with a Hong Kong accent, Yin Jun asked, "You haven't communicated well yet?"

"yes."

Huo Jianning frowned a little, "Their boss is very powerful, and he hasn't shown up yet. I can't communicate no matter how hard I try, they only choose so many records. But the price didn't treat us badly, they gave us 1 yuan a disc. Then I looked Looking at their price list and sales status, a music tape usually costs 5-10 yuan. It’s a bit expensive, and not many people buy it.”

What Huo Jianning was talking about was the issue of records introduced by Kirin Records being sold in the mainland in the form of music tapes.

To do cultural things in the Mainland, publishing books must have ISBNs, releasing movies must have batch numbers, and publishing records must also have batch numbers.

Of course, Yin Jun doesn't have to worry. The songs he introduced are all old songs. Although some songs involve a little love and love, they can't stand up to other people's relationships.

Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yun only had to give the green light to all Yin Jun's business. How could the people below dare to refuse to handle it?

Therefore, after a little review, the record company has already allocated the production batch number at the end of last year. Kirin Records is directly affiliated with their name, and they can independently record and sell music tapes with the "Kirin Records" LOGO and logo. .

After a Hong Kong record company entered the mainland, not only was it not subject to various restrictions, but it did not even need to change its name and directly used its own brand to make products. What is the concept? ?

Anyone who is a little familiar with China's current policies on the recording industry will know that this is an incredible achievement!

Only Yin Jun has such a big reputation that he can make the people at the record company give in.

To be precise, it should be to make the propaganda side give in.

But there is another problem here, and that is the sales aspect.

As we all know, there are special record shops in Hong Kong, Baodao and abroad, which specialize in selling products such as music tapes, records or vinyl records. There are many private stores and many chain stores, and the business is quite large.

But it is different in China. 90% of sales of all cultural-related things are concentrated in one state-owned store.

its name

called

Xinghua Bookstore.

This is the largest cultural chain store in the country, covering almost all county-level cities in China. Its network is very developed, and it can be said to be a giant.

Normally when people buy books, music tapes, vinyl records, etc., they go to Xinghua Bookstore.

That is to say, with the reform and opening up in the past few years, some scattered private bookstores and record stores have gradually appeared, but they are not popular, and the overall sales volume is less than one-tenth of Xinghua Bookstore.

Private bookstores are a little better, and the threshold is relatively low, so you can open one as long as you are familiar with them.

But record stores are different. They are basically only opened in big cities, and the people who open record stores are either musicians with musical accomplishments themselves, or they have returned from abroad, and they belong to the group with a relatively high threshold. kind.

Moreover, they are very fragmented and have no concept of chain operation. Their audience is relatively narrow and their business is only average.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Qilin Records never thought of looking for cooperation with these generals. Instead, they directly set their sights on Xinghua Bookstore.

Xinghua Bookstore is managed by the cultural sector. In fact, it doesn’t matter who is in charge of them. Faced with the matter proposed by Qilin Group, it is impossible for them to say no. This is a major event that affects the investment enthusiasm of Hong Kong compatriots. No one can take the responsibility. Affordable.

However, the communication between Huo Jianning and Tan Bin, the boss of Xinghua Bookstore, was not so smooth.

It's not about money.

Just like what Huo Jianning said, Tan Bin paid a very high price, one yuan for a music tape.

Kirin Records' record factory in Lin'an has 50 music tape production lines produced by Japan's Sony and Panasonic. At full capacity, it can produce 300,000 music tapes every day.

In addition, 10 polyester film base tape production lines were purchased and set up to specialize in the production of tapes used for music tapes.

Then the number of workers hired did not increase, but were directly dispatched from the cassette player factory, so the labor cost did not increase much.

After calculating this, including the album copyright purchase fee, the production cost of a music tape is 30 cents.

Nowadays, production companies in China have no sense of confidentiality. Huo Jianning found out that the production costs of several other state-owned record companies are not too high, about 50 cents per record.

In Tan Bin's view, even if your price is a little higher than the state-owned one, if I give you one yuan, it will be at least 20%-30% of the profit, which is enough to explain.

Huo Jianning didn't care much about this. He cared more about what Yin Jun told him.

That is to promote Hong Kong's pop music as much as possible.

What he proposed was that we at Kirin Records could distribute more products and lower the price a bit, and then your selling price would also drop a bit, preferably around 3 yuan, so that more people could hear more music. Lots of music.

Tan Bin was a little unhappy at the time, but he didn't fall out, but he said that they had to look at the actual situation to make sales decisions, and they couldn't just give whatever the supplying record company wanted.

Regarding this, Huo Jianning can also understand, he is just a suggestion.

The suggestion to lower the price was not accepted, so he did not lose heart and decided to discuss it slowly later.

As a result, at the end of March, when the people sent by Tan Bin selected records, Huo Jianning was surprised to find that Yin Jun had brought more than 400 records in total and recorded them into music tapes. In the end, they only selected more than 20 records. Not even one out of ten was chosen.

Moreover, they didn’t even want a single disc that was highly recommended by people from the record company.

This seems a bit weird, so Huo Jianning has been communicating with Xinghua Bookstore during this time.

As a result, Tan Bin didn't come forward anymore, so Huo Jianning never got a good answer, which made it impossible for him to go to Huajing to attend the opening ceremony of the new factory.

Hearing Huo Jianning talk about the recent details, Yin Jun suddenly felt very strange, "Brother Ning, you said that in this country, there are people who dare to embarrass us. Isn't it a bit strange?"

Yin Jun is right.

Qilin Group is now completely buggy in mainland China. Officials from top to bottom are coddling them for fear of offending them and affecting the overall situation.

Even Yin Jun, who wants to do things modestly and low-key, has been somewhat relaxed recently, thinking that he will succeed in whatever he does in the mainland.

After all, with so many people helping you, it will be difficult for you not to succeed.

So it was really funny and strange to suddenly find that there were still people who dared to embarrass the Qilin Group.

Huo Jianning learned more about it, "I asked a friend to check. Tan Bin's father is an old revolutionary with a very deep relationship background. In addition, he does things cleanly and neatly. Xinghua Bookstore has developed very much in recent years. Okay, so the people above also appreciate him very much. The reason he gave to the above this time is that Xinghua Bookstore is the most professional sales unit, so we can't let our friends from Xiangjiang mess around. This will break many conventions and bring very bad consequences. s consequence."

It seems that Huo Jianning is not without connections, and his level is definitely not low.

Besides, there is still such a big brand as Kirin Group.

I didn’t expect that people wouldn’t buy it.

Yin Jun was even more surprised, "Does he have other ideas, such as personal aspects?"

Huo Jianning immediately understood, "No, he never mentioned it. Moreover, several people also told me that Tan Bin has a very decent style, but he is a little too arbitrary and a little too tough in his Yiyantang style."

"Then...is it really just a business conflict?" Yin Jun frowned.

"I think so." Huo Jianning expressed his judgment. "He must think that our scale is not small and difficult to control, so he must first suppress our momentum. Only in this way can he control the entire music tape sales system. Control. Also, if he gives in to us, it may affect his image and cause trouble for his management of Xinghua Bookstore. This person loves power very much!!"
