Chapter 56 - 56 Major Loss!
56 Major Loss!
In the beginning, there were only more than a hundred comments on this post. However, as it was reposted, more and more people followed the post, and the comments flooded in.
Thus, in just one night, the number of comments reached 40,000!
Almost everyone was discussing the movie “Love Is Not Blind”.
On the second day.
!!
The situation in the cinema immediately reversed. Most people were queuing up to buy tickets for “Love Is Not Blind”. Only a small number of people who were fans of “Great Schemer” and the actors continued to support it.
Deep Sea International.
Su Han’s expression gradually darkened as he listened to his subordinate’s report.
“I’d rather earn less than let Luo Chen be smug!”
“Pass down the order. Anyone who buys movie tickets to our movie will get a 20% discount. Then, they will also be given a free drink!”
His subordinate nodded. “Yes, President Su. I’ll do it now!”
Su Han made up his mind. Even if he lost a little this time, he had to crush Luo Chen in the box office!
Otherwise, he would lose face in front of Jiang Xiaoyu.
Su Han’s strategy was very successful because many people only wanted to pass the time and would not care about the plot so much.
Previously, because the prices were the same, they would go to watch “Love Is Not Blind” which had a better plot.
However, Su Han’s series of benefits attracted a large number of students. They could not miss this opportunity to take advantage of the discounts.
As a result, the situation in the cinema returned to its previous state. There were countless people who bought tickets for “Great Schemer”.
…
Luo Investment Corporation.
“Luo Chen, what do you plan to do next?”
In the office, Zhao Ruoshuang sat opposite Luo Chen and asked.
She had just told him about Su Han’s methods.
Luo Chen sneered. “I originally wanted to depend on our product to fight. But Su Han started to use marketing gimmicks now. Since that’s the case, I’ll fulfill his wish and let him die even more thoroughly!”
Hearing this, Zhao Ruoshuang was interested. “Luo Chen, what do you plan to do?”
“Contact Justin’s record company and prepare to print autographed photos. As long as you buy a ticket, you’ll be given one. Three tickets purchased and you’ll be given a “Baby” record!”
This was Luo Chen’s trump card.
At this moment, Justin Bieber was already famous in the country. There was no youngster who did not like his songs!
“That’s a good idea! I’ll get someone to arrange it now!”
Zhao Ruoshuang was also delighted to hear this. Why didn’t she think of this method?
With the two sides working together, the effect would definitely explode!
Soon, the news regarding the free autograph spread.
All the young people were excited when they heard this news.
This was because it was usually very difficult to get an autographed photo of Justin. Hence, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in their eyes!
Therefore, even people who didn’t like to watch movies would bring their friends to the cinema to watch “Love Is Not Blind”.
After the Binhai Cinema was full, many Binhai locals would deliberately go to the Jiang City Cinema to watch that movie.
Deep Sea International.
Crack!
When Su Han heard the news, he was so angry that he threw the glass of water in his hand to the ground.
“Luo Chen! You’re really something!”
Ever since Su Han came into contact with business, he had never lost so badly.
He knew very well that there was no turning back.
At this moment, Su Han was even more determined in his heart. If he wanted to unify the business market, he had to deal with the Luo Family first!
A month later, the box office sales of the two movies were released.
Su Han had only earned thirty million yuan, and from the looks of it, there was no chance for it to increase further.
On the other hand, Luo Chen had earned a hundred million yuan, and the numbers were still rising. The box office for the next month would probably still be very good.
This was only according to the raw data. In terms of actual income, Su Han had suffered a huge loss!
As the actors were all big shots, just their remuneration alone took away 20 million yuan. In addition, he had given discounts and drinks previously, so he did not earn much. There was also money spent in the early stages on the venue and other various investments. Therefore, the remaining 10 million yuan was all gone too.
After calculating the net income, Su Han realized that he had actually lost three million yuan.
“Men!”
Looking at the bill, Su Han shouted angrily.
Soon, a secretary walked in.
The secretary asked nervously, “President Su, do you have any instructions?”
Everyone knew that their boss was temperamental. What if he lost money and vented his anger on them?
“Go, contact Zhang Guang and sell all the Meteor graphics cards we stocked last time!”
Su Han wanted Luo Chen to bleed too!
Previously, he had stored five million yuan worth of graphics cards and almost bought all the Meteor graphics cards.
If he could sell them all to Luo Chen this time, he could still earn a sum of money. Then, he would not lose any money.
At the thought of this, Su Han’s mood improved.
The secretary broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.
“President Su, I didn’t dare to say anything when I saw that you were in a bad mood just now. According to my subordinates, we can’t contact Zhang Guang anymore. He seems to have run away. As for the Meteor graphics card…”
Su Han frowned. “What’s wrong with the graphics card? Hurry up and tell me!”
“Because of the hardware problem of the graphics card, it can no longer match the latest computers on the market. Therefore, the price of the graphics card might not even be 2% of the purchase price…”
“Get out… get out!”
Su Han slammed his hand on the table, and the secretary hurriedly lowered his head and left.
He knew very well that Zhang Guang’s departure meant that Luo Chen had long known and had thus set a trap for him!
“You’re really something, Luo Chen! I, Su Han, swear that I won’t rest until I take revenge!”
During these two confrontations, he had lost nearly ten million yuan.
Su Han’s eyes turned cold. He wanted Luo Chen to pay the price.
…
“Cheers!”
While Su Han was thinking of a new plan, Luo Chen had already organized a gathering for all the high-level executives and actors to celebrate.
He rented a small manor where everyone gathered on the lawn. In front of them was a table filled with delicacies and wine.
“Come, let’s toast Ye Bei together. If he hadn’t suggested that our movie be released in May, we might not have achieved our current results!”
On such a critical occasion, Luo Chen naturally wouldn’t forget his ‘good brother’, Ye Bei.
Everyone picked up their wine glasses and rushed towards Ye Bei.
Ye Bei revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. “You’re welcome. Cheers, everyone.”
With that, he finished the red wine in his hand.
Although it was high-end red wine, Ye Bei felt that it tasted worse than poison!
He wished he could poison himself until he turned mute! Why did he keep talking!
On the other hand, Shen Shuyi was happy for Luo Chen from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Ruoshuang and Jiang Xiaoyu were seated on both sides of her.
Shen Shuyi looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and said, “Xiaoyu, your acting skills are really too good. In the end, I even cried.”
“No, Sister Shuyi. This is all because the script is good. I merely benefited from it.”
Jiang Xiaoyu was very humble. She was not smug just because the box office was good this time.
Zhao Ruoshuang nodded. “Indeed, this script is really good. The person who wrote this script must be very romantic, right?”
Jiang Xiaoyu asked in surprise, “President Zhao, you don’t know who wrote this script?”
“Why? Do you know?” Zhao Ruoshuang was stunned.
Shen Shuyi also joined in the fun. “Xiaoyu, if you want to know who wrote it, tell me. I’m really curious about the author!”
