Chapter 375： buying frenzy

In October of the City of Angels, although the tail of summer is still dragging its long tail reluctantly in the air, autumn has already decorated this beautiful city. The temperature at six or seven in the morning still shivered with a faint frosty air. Even with a thick quilt and a heavy padded jacket, his face would still be flushed red by the wind.

Generally speaking, large audio-visual chain stores will put the album on the shelf in advance before the new album is released, so that the singers can choose. However, the staff of Viking City were a little flustered today. Before seven o'clock, three large trucks came to the back door of Viking City. Crews began unloading the containers and then transporting boxes of albums through the back door to the warehouse. There will be dedicated staff to carry out the following work.

Of course, it's not that Viking City forgot to put the album "Two" on the shelves. Large audio-visual chain stores will naturally not miss this opportunity to make money. Even the most ordinary newcomers, as long as they release a new album, and they have signed an agreement with the publishing company, the album will be on the shelves as soon as possible.

Not to mention Evan Bell's new album.

In fact, "Two" had already arrived at major audio-visual chain stores as early as the 7th, and the staff of Viking City officially put the album on the shelves before they got off work last night.

But the problem is, no one expected that there would be so many songs mí lining up to buy the album!

Last night, the "Los Angeles Times" reported on the grand occasion of Gemí's queuing at the gate of Viking City in Los Angeles at the first time, and then at eleven o'clock in the evening, some reporters came to the scene to conduct interviews. Not only entertainment reporters, but also traffic jams caused by the spectacular queues. For this reason, the traffic radio stations at 3:00 am and 5:00 am have relevant reports. This led to the fact that before six o'clock, entertainment reporters and social reporters came to the scene again to report on the gathering of Gemí.

This situation has been staged in 20 major cities across the United States. Song mí people on "two"

The firm support of this album has become an explosion of news that greeted the sun on October 9 after the world-shattering work in Washington Square on the evening of October 8. As Elaine Brooke said, this feast has indeed appeared on the page of social news!

Faced with this situation, Viking City naturally realized that this week is expected to be an explosive period for album sales. At present, only 50,000 albums in the warehouse are not enough, so last night, three containers of albums were temporarily transferred from New York. Hopefully at least the first week of pomp can be dealt with.

Not to say that just one Los Angeles Vikings inventory of 50,000 is not enough. The point is to consider the situation in the entire United States.

Songs in major cities across the United States are in a frenzy to buy, which means that the call of each record store to the headquarters to collect inventory will soon be called. Even if the distributor Warner Records is fully prepared, they have to move inventory to each city one by one. , and then add the travel time, so once the panic buying frenzy occurs, there must be a record store that will run out of ammunition and food due to insufficient inventory. After that, it will take time to transfer the goods from the headquarters.

The Virgin City Los Angeles branch is well aware that in the midst of a buying frenzy, time is money. Therefore, they adjusted the goods overnight last night, that is, planning ahead, hoping to survive at least the first week and buy more time for the second adjustment.

At eight o'clock, the singers in the queue began to wake up one after another, ready to welcome the opening of the nine o'clock sales.

Zane Malik and Elaine Brook wake up Liam Payne and Elena Jasmine. As soon as Elena Jia Siming opened her eyes, she saw Liam Payne's beautiful eyes in front of her. She couldn't help feeling a little shy and sat up quickly. Looking at the embarrassment and shyness on the faces of Elena Jasmine and Liam Payne, Elaine Brooke and Zane Malik couldn't help but chuckle, but when their eyes met, the smiles couldn't help but smile. Stiffened, and then wandered elsewhere.

In just one night, the four young people established a different kind of friendship. When their eyes met, the intimacy was neither like a stranger nor a close friend, which made people sigh about the beauty of youth.

At exactly nine o'clock, the gates of Viking City opened. The team rushed into the store like a tide, and the speed of progress that was visible to the naked eye made the people in the back excited.

The four young men, Elena and Jia Siming, did not speak, but moved forward quietly. The sound of their heartbeats was especially clear among the footsteps and low roars, and even their breathing became rapid.

In just ten minutes, more than a hundred people poured into the Viking City, and the four young people Elena and Jia Siming were already standing on the stairs at the door, and they could clearly see the prosperity inside. Since everyone came here to snap up "Two", not the usual ones to hang out and shop for discs, everyone's goal was very clear, pick up the album "Two", go to the checkout, pay and leave. Therefore, Viking City was bustling and chaotic like a traditional vegetable market for a while.

Elena ※Jia Siming and Elaine ※Brook walked into Viking City, and the two men politely stood behind the lady, blocking the surrounding chaos.

Elena and Jia Siming swept the interior of Viking City and found a difference. Perhaps it was the spectacle of last night's queue that made Vikings change its strategy: maybe it was the way Warner Records implemented it across the U.S. this time, but in short, Vikings really changed a lot.

At this time, there are two shelves on the right hand side of the first floor, all of which are Evan-Bell's "Two" album and "Sky Light..., this single, and the third shelf behind is "One..., This album, as well as other singles, are the only albums by one artist, Evan Bell, on these three shelves! In line of sight, all are "One..., and "two," two albums, obviously Viking City has opened up a special area for Evan and Bell.

Eight staff members can be seen within sight, four staff members are standing next to the shelves, in charge of replenishment at any time. Four staff members stood at the cashier on the left, each in charge of a cashier, speeding up the collection.

Therefore, after the opening of Viking City, within just 20 minutes, the first 100 people had already purchased the album and left the record store. Now there is a whole new group of people in Viking City. Such efficiency has indeed caused record sales to skyrocket, and it has also facilitated the operation of Viking City.

The grand occasion after opening the door proves the wisdom of Viking City's policy. Although it is not known what record the sales of the album "Two" can create, at least for Viking City, their one-day sales performance is absolutely gratifying. . Moreover, leaving a quick and convenient impression in Gemí's heart will have a strong influence on Gemí's future visits.

Although a batch of songs can be changed in front of the cash register almost every one or two minutes, the speed of sales has not slowed down, as if there is an endless stream of people buying albums. No one could have come up with a better adjective than frenzy. All the songs were like rushing in to buy limited-edition collectibles, rushing in frantically, picking up several albums, several singles, then checking out, and then exiting the store in a tidal wave.

One wave after another, the eight staff members of Viking City were all under high-intensity work pressure, and their movements and spirits were subjected to huge tests. While their mental and physical strength are being severely tested, they are also amazed at such a grand event. Such a panic buying frenzy may only be seen during the Christmas discount season!

But at 9:15, Elena, Jia Siming and his party of four had already finished their selection. The establishment of the Evan-Bell special area is definitely more convenient for them.

Elena-Jia Siming bought two copies of "Two" and "Tianguang", one set to listen to the other collection: the same is true for Elaine-Brook. And Zane Malik and Liam Payne, who have just joined the song mí camp, with the help of Elena and Jia Siming, not only purchased "One...," "Two..., two albums, but also each album. All singles have been acquired as a souvenir.

When Elena-Jia Siming held the album "Two" in her hands, she could feel the hotness just released, and she firmly held "Two" and "Tianguang" in her arms. Out of the video store, so that the team behind can continue to make up.

After walking out of the video store, a group of four stood on the stairs and looked over the long queue, unable to see the head at a glance. It seemed that in addition to the more than 1,000 people who had already lined up, the queue behind them was still growing. It is estimated that today's panic buying frenzy will continue for a while.

"Elaine, thank you for your help just now. How can I give you this money better?" Liam Payne said with a slightly shy smile, unable to restrain his excitement in his tone.

Because the two boys bought too much in one go just now The cash on their bodies was not enough, so Elaine Brook stood up to save the scene.

Elaine Brook thought for a moment and said, "There's a pizza place on this street. It's good. Let's go over there and have a seat. You can go back to the hotel and get the money."

Zane Malik couldn't wait to interrupt Elaine Brook's words, "We can continue to chat." After speaking, Zane Malik found the urgency and expectation in his tone, and scratched his head in annoyance. This action made Elaine Brook and Elena Jia Siming laugh.

"Let's go. We can sit down there and listen to "Tianguang, now, I can't wait!" ..., Elena, Jia Siming mō mō the album in mō's arms, still can't hold back her emotional mood, and said with a full face.

This proposal was immediately seconded by the other three people.

Four young figures walked briskly under the morning sun, waiting in line all night, condensed into the most beautiful scenery in memory.

The outbreak continues, let the support come more violently, huh, huh. ! .
