March 16, Yanjing.
"Shuying, Meimei, slow down and wait for me!"
Jing Tian wore the school uniform of Beiwu Middle School and carried a schoolbag on her shoulders, trotting all the way, following closely behind her classmates.
"Oh, Tiantian, if you run faster, people will snatch up all the CDs if you're too late!"
Shuying spread her legs and walked hastily.
The streets, alleys, hair salons and supermarkets the three of them passed through were filled with songs from "Meteor Garden", especially the most popular "Meteor Shower".
"Watch the meteor shower with you, falling on this earth,
Let your tears fall on my shoulders..."
The lyrical and soft melody not only did not discourage Jingtian, but instead filled her whole body with motivation.
Gritting her teeth, she took on the energy of sprinting for 100 meters and walked from north to south, visiting one store after another in Xidan Cultural Street. As a result, all the "Meteor Garden" VCDs on the stalls and display cabinets were sold out.
So far, "Meteor Garden" has been banned from broadcasting one after another across the country, from provincial TV stations to local municipal channels.
But teenagers can't help but want to watch it. After all, this kind of Mary Sue drama is unprecedented. It's not a bloody Qiong Yao drama or a tragic sea banquet drama. Girls all imagine that they are Shancai and Prince Charming is one of the F4.
"Huhuhu~"
Jing Tian stood at the door of Xidan Audio and Video World, half-bent, with his hands on his knees, out of breath.
Shuying wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Meimei, Tiantian, if it's not here yet, let's go back to school."
The three little ones held hands, climbed up the stairs, and entered the huge audio-visual city side by side. They saw display racks in the lobby, with posters of "Meteor Garden" on the left and right, reminding customers of the area where CDs and cassettes were placed.
Jing Tian excitedly ran to the shelf. The VCD was on the most conspicuous shelf. When they saw the price, the three of them were dumbfounded.
A set of 20 discs, 80 yuan.
"Is it wrong that it's so expensive?" Meimei pouted.
"No wonder it's still in stock!" Shuying agreed.
The words he spoke so innocently made the passers-by immediately hesitate and feel in a dilemma.
The clerk was excited and quickly raised his voice to clarify:
"Little sister, do you know that "Meteor Garden" can no longer be seen on TV! Of course, this disc will not sell for the same price as before, it will only be more expensive in the future!"???..Com
"That's expensive too!"
Suddenly, a fair-skinned girl with a swan neck walked out of the crowd, slim and elegant.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The clerk refused to admit it, "On the contrary, the price of our VCDs has dropped. It used to cost 140 yuan a set. Now it is rumored that VCDs will be stopped. So there is a huge price reduction and dumping. After this village, this store will no longer exist."
As soon as he finished speaking, the customers who had hesitated to buy immediately took the discs and left. In the blink of an eye, 8 sets were missing from the shelves.
"what to do?"
Jing Tian pinched the shoulder strap of her schoolbag, and the other two friends were also confused.
"Primary school girls, are you from Beiwu High School?" The swan-necked woman smiled.
"Sister, are you too?" Jing Tian blinked.
"That's right. I'm from Beiwu. My name is Liu Shishi."
Liu Shishi introduced himself and got to know each other. He smiled on his slightly baby-fat face and reminded them softly: "You must consume wisely."
Then, at the urging of her best friend, she waved and left.
"Goodbye sister."
Jing Tian was also waving, and when he looked at Shuying, who was the backbone, he saw her gritting her teeth and saying that all the girls in the class had collected their money and had come, so they couldn't leave empty-handed.
So, they took a complete set and obediently went to the checkout counter. The line was long and chaotic, crowded with people and chattering.
"Hey, do you want to buy it or not?"
“Don’t wait in line if you don’t want to buy, there are many people behind you!”
In the midst of the commotion, a high-pitched female voice broke out.
"I won't buy it!"
Yang Mi stood at the front, facing the cashier, waving the mobile phone in her hand, which displayed the text message of "Feipian Home Pass"——
[Genuine VCD of "Meteor Garden", 40 yuan for the whole set, early purchase of 100,000 sets, first come first served, the first 10,000 buyers will receive a random F4 poster for free]
The cashier and store clerk also saw the content and their eyes widened.
2 yuan per disc, it’s even cheaper than pirated copies.
nnd, ruin the place!
…………
Everyone in the work area of Hailong Building is very busy.
Lu Fei pulled down the vertical blinds and turned around. Liu Edong and Xu Lei were sitting on the left and right sides of the sofa, with more or less smiles on their faces.
"What luck!"

Xu Lei smiled from ear to ear, "Last time, "Shaolin Football" was banned, and this time it's "Meteor Garden". God is helping us, and there is nothing we can do to stop it."
emm, am I not God?
Lu Fei's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly glanced at the sales statistics for the first half of the day. The popularity of "Meteor Garden" will undoubtedly drive all aspects of Feigou.com.
Even for 40 yuan, more than 5,000 units were sold.
But don't look at the hot sales. Individual users buy few, and most of them are video stores and rental stores. If you eat this batch, you can make a profit by selling it back.
It is equivalent to actively becoming a scalper.
The e-commerce platform is actually the largest middleman. The traditional sales and purchase route is: manufacturer-general distributor-distributor-physical store.
There are several levels of price increases in between, because the prices are not open and transparent and are all borne by the customer. Feigou.com simplifies these links and eliminates these middlemen.
There is no middleman to make the difference, only me!
Therefore, if you dare to sell for 40 yuan, not only will you not lose money, but you will also make a profit of about 8 yuan. For 100,000 sets, the total profit will be 800,000, although the agent will still have to share it.
Moreover, relying on the popularity brought by "Meteor Garden", another wave of shopping frenzy was triggered.
"Old Xu, the Optoelectronics ban bans TV, but does it also ban online sales?"
"We can't stop it. How can Optoelectronics have this power? This is under the control of the Audio and Video Department of the General Information Administration."
Xu Lei crossed his legs and patted his thigh proudly, "I asked my buddy to ask Director Wang. There will be no ban on sales at all. Don't worry."
"That's great, it can definitely counterattack eBay!"
Liu Edong eliminated his worries and rubbed his hands excitedly, "I want to ban us for promotion and express delivery, but in the end, business matters!"
"Old Xu, remember to find a few media reports."
Lu Fei put the statistics table on the table, "The battle doesn't need to be too big. We should also make a list of the webmasters who have cooperated with us for a long time this time, and pay them to do a team building and travel around the mountains and rivers. Thank you very much." .”
"I'll make arrangements."
Xu Lei understood this and took advantage of the opportunity of team building to join forces with Feigou.com to form a webmaster advertising alliance to compete with Tesco.
"Godong, keep an eye on Lai Haisong and other logistics, and never miss any financing opportunities."
In terms of express delivery, Lu Fei is prepared with both hands, including self-operated express delivery and logistics alliance, b2c and c2c business.
Liu Edong strongly agrees that if there is self-operated logistics, B2C will have to open up new businesses. The current Jingdong Mall only has 3C digital categories such as mobile phones and computers, books and audiovisuals, and virtual recharges, which is far from enough.
"Several MP3 and home appliance manufacturers have contacted me, hoping to discuss cooperation in person."
"mp3?"
Lu Fei touched his chin, "Add one more, add some medical supplies."
"Medical care?" Liu Edong was stunned, "A large pharmacy?"
Lu Fei said: "That's the backend. Let's start with the basics. Noon tea, isatis root, masks, medical kits, etc., especially masks, disinfectant, and disinfectant alcohol. We need to purchase more."
Xu Lei and Liu Edong looked at each other in confusion, unable to understand the big mystery inside.
Lu Fei was silent. It was 2002, not far from 2003.
In this way, there is a reasonable reason to stock up on a large amount of medical supplies. When the time comes, it will be to support donations or to keep prices at a low price. In short, we are not seeking money.
………
The meeting of the Big Three ended, and Tao Yao brought a package.
Beautifully packaged and shipped from the United States.
Lu Fei opened it and saw that it contained a letter and three identical books, which were of course "The World is Flat" co-written with Friedman.
"Hey, your book is finally going to be published?" Xu Lei asked with interest.
Lu Fei flipped through it casually and saw that it was all in English, then threw it to Xu Lei and read Friedman's letter on his own.
There is very little content. It only says that it is a proof copy, which is the last proof, and it can be printed and published within two weeks.
"This copy will be handed over to Beijing University Press for review and revision. This copy will be mailed to Carlyle Capital's ancestor. I promised to let him write the preface."
"Why did you ask him to write the preface?"
Xu Lei frowned, "At least find someone in the IT industry, like Mr. Liu..."
God is looking for Liu Chuanzhi.
Lu Fei suddenly became playful and said jokingly: "Friedman has asked Bill Gates to write a preface."
"Fuck, really?!"
Xu Lei, Tao Yao and others were all shocked.
"I'm kidding!" Lu Fei spread his hands.
Xu Lei curled his lips, "This is not a joke."
Lu Fei closed the letter with a mysterious smile on his lips.
