1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 281 March!

"I know you. Why are you planning to expand into the music market in Shanghai?"

Chen Lin immediately asked sharply.

His answer was exactly what Xu Yuexin expected.

The film and television industry requires the use of soundtracks. As a cadre in a film studio, Chen Lin naturally knows a few people in the music industry.

"I can't say I have any plans yet, I just want to get an understanding of the market situation first."

Xu Yuexin said modestly and cautiously, "If it's convenient for you, could you help me arrange a few people to come out and have a chat together?"

"Okay, I'll ask for you, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Chen Lin agreed immediately.

……

A few days later, Chen Lin found the hotel where Xu Yuexin was staying, said that he had found the person, and handed Xu Yuexin a list.

"This is Lin Shuyin, the manager of Feiyin Audio and Video Distribution Company. Her company ranks first in market share in our city."

"And this one, Zhang Xian, is a self-employed audio and video distributor. She has been growing rapidly in the past two years and is almost able to compete with state-owned enterprises."

……

Chen Lin introduced the people on the list to Xu Yuexin one by one.

Xu Yuexin was very satisfied with his results and could feel that Chen Lin had put in his best efforts.

"Thank you, Old Chen. It must have taken you a lot of time to invite so many people out."

"It's OK. I knew most of them before, so it's just a matter of making a phone call."

"Let's set a time to get together."

"Then tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I will book a private room in the teahouse opposite your factory, and we can meet and chat together."

"Okay, I'll talk to them."

Since it is a gathering of people from the literary and artistic circles, of course we have to choose an elegant place.

The teahouse opposite is quite nice, and it looks quite stylish from the outside.

The next day, Xu Yuexin arrived at the teahouse ten minutes early.

At this time, a waiter came up and said, "Hello, sir. Is your last name Xu?"

"Yes, how come someone has reserved a seat?"

"Yes, a Mr. Chen has reserved a seat for you. You can go up now."

After saying that, the waiter took Xu Yuexin to the second floor.

Not to mention, Chen Lin is a pretty nice guy.

Reserve a teahouse for yourself in advance.

Xu Yuexin thought as he went upstairs.

The waiter brought Xu Yuexin to a private room called Liulang Pavilion and opened the door for him.

There were Chen Lin and two unfamiliar ladies sitting inside the door, and the main seat closest to the inside was empty.

"Hello everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Xu Yuexin didn't expect the other party to arrive so early, and he greeted everyone inside with a fist bump.

"Hello, Boss Xu."

"Hello, Boss Xu."

Chen Lin and the two ladies stood up and greeted them with a smile, and Chen Lin introduced Xu Yuexin in the middle.

From Chen Lin, Xu Yuexin learned that the two ladies were Lin Shuyin and Zhang Xian.

"Manager Lin, Boss Zhang, hello."

Xu Yuexin shook hands with them one by one, then sat down in the main seat.

Chen Lin had already introduced Xu Yuexin to Lin Shuyin and Zhang Xian. They knew that Xu Yuexin was a big boss with businesses in Hong Kong.

Then within a few minutes, other people attending the party arrived.

In the box filled with the aroma of tea, Xu Yuexin chatted with everyone about the current music distribution and sales landscape in Shanghai.

"Shanghai is a prime location, and the music sales market here still has great potential to be tapped."

Halfway through the conversation, Xu Yuexin said with a smile, "I want to come in and dig a shovel, too."

Some people smiled but said nothing, while others echoed the blessing. "Then I wish Boss Xu all the best. If you need me in any way, just let me know."

Zhang Xian was the first to express her opinion.

The rest of the people were silent.

Xu Yuexin didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He is here to look for a partner, as long as there is a local household willing to join forces with him.

After the show, Xu Yuexin and Zhang Xian exchanged contact information and addresses and made an appointment to meet next time.

The second meeting place was at Zhang Xian's company.

Her company is located in a small villa. The architectural style of the house is very elegant, but it is a bit old, and the exterior walls are covered with ivy.

The small villa has 5 floors in total. The bottom 4 floors belong to other people, and Zhang Xian’s company is on the top floor.

Xu Yuexin and Zhang Xian walked up to the top floor and saw that the decoration inside was very simple. The dilapidated floor made a creaking sound when they stepped on it.

One room in the office building is where the staff work, and the other two are filled with tapes.

Xu Yuexin was not surprised by such a simple office environment. Many private enterprises that later became famous grew up in such an environment in the early days of reform and opening up.

Zhang Xian was not ashamed of her limited conditions, but was very generous and natural.

"Boss Xu, I started my business three years ago. At the beginning, I only had one store in Luwan District."

"Now, I have more than 50 stores under my management, achieving full coverage of the urban area."

"Every month, I sell 20 tapes."

Zhang Xian pointed to the tapes stored in the room and proudly introduced them to Xu Yuexin, "Boss Xu, if you want to expand the market in Shanghai, you will definitely have to rely on us."

Xu Yuexin raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Judging from the current situation, Zhang Xian is telling the truth.

It just sounds too strong.

“It’s quite large.”

Xu Yuexin nodded slightly and said, "Boss Zhang, do you have any plans to enter other regional markets?"

"Yes, my next destination is Wuxi..."

"Oh, very good."

Xu Yuexin interrupted Zhang Xian and asked, "What about Xiangjiang?"

Zhang Xian looked at Xu Yuexin with a hint of surprise: Going to Hong Kong to sell tapes? This was an option she had never thought of.

Because I came from a grassroots background, I don’t have any resources in that area.

"If Boss Zhang has that plan, I can help."

"A cassette sold for 3 yuan in Shanghai, but it sold for 30 yuan in Hong Kong."

"Thank you, Boss Xu."

Zhang Xian was tempted, but she was cautious and asked, "Why doesn't Mr. Xu go to Hong Kong to sell the tapes himself?"

"Who told you I didn't want to go?"

"This time when I leave Shanghai, I will go to Hong Kong to make arrangements."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll become your competitor?"

Zhang Xian stared into Xu Yuexin's eyes and said.

"I have considered this aspect. But for me, it is more important to establish a sales channel in Shanghai."

Xu Yuexin shrugged and said, "Boss Zhang, if you haven't made up your mind, you can think about it later."

"I am not in a hurry."

"Don't think about it, let's cooperate."

Zhang Xian said decisively, "I will help you distribute your products in Shanghai, and you will help me enter Hong Kong."

"Okay, it's a deal, let's sign a contract."

Xu Yuexin snapped his fingers.

In fact, he originally wanted to reach a cooperation with Feiyin, which was headed by Lin Shuyin. After all, state-owned enterprises are big and powerful.

But it's also good to be able to cooperate with Zhang Xian now. Judging from Zhang Xian's attitude towards work, her future sales scale should be very large, which is a good thing for Xu Yuexin.
