Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

Chapter 104 Crazy Money Making, What a lame CEO drama, this is no fun at all!

If you were to ask who was the most heartbroken after Kang Ji-young switched agencies, it would definitely be Naza.

Our huge, errand-running maknae is gone just like that.

Woo woo woo.

She channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, strutting around with gusto.

She occasionally picks up her phone to browse the news, a trick she recently discovered for learning Korean—using news related to Korean studies to memorize vocabulary.

The effect is quite good.

Her determination to improve herself wasn't a sudden change of heart; it was simply because tomorrow was her monthly test.

Of course, it wasn't just about passing the test; the main thing was to let Han Shuo see that she was working hard.

She's such a clever little devil.

"Brother, look what this says!"

She showed her phone to Han Shuo.

In the entire Korean title, she could only recognize Han Seok's name and a string of Korean characters that appeared to be "50 billion".

"Hmm, let me see—hmm?"

Han Shuo frowned slightly, not out of anger, but out of bewilderment: "Who wrote this report?"

"What's wrong?"

Shin Yoon-joo crawled over.

Upon seeing the report, his eyes widened in disbelief: "50 billion?!"

"What are you saying?"

Naza urged her, "Tell me quickly."

"What's wrong?"

Everyone present gathered around curiously: "What happened?"

For an instant.

It felt as if the whole world had pressed down on us.

No matter how sweet and soft a girl is, she can't withstand so many people crowding around her.

"Do you think I'm Sun Wukong? Get out of my way!"

It's not good to have too good a relationship with the actresses and trainees under your management. They don't seem scared at all, and they get more and more excited as they talk.

"Then where is your golden cudgel?"

Even someone like Kim Yoon-ji, who always embraces an American free spirit, nuzzled his face affectionately and whispered in his ear in a sticky tone, "Let me see."

But that's just talk.

With so many people crammed together, it's inconvenient for everyone.

In fact, this report has already gone viral and has been pushed to the top of the trending searches. You can see the relevant content as long as you open your mobile browser.

The title is quite frightening:

Han Seok's comeback is expected to generate over 50 billion yuan in sales!

"How much? 50 million?"

A series of sharp explosions rang in my ears.

"What are you looking at me for? FakeNews."

Han Shuo thought to himself, "He's only just started his activities. His music has been released for a week, his album has been on sale for five days, and he's been on music show stages twice. You still predict he'll be on stage?"

They even give out astonishing figures like 50 billion, their intentions are clearly sinister.

Let me see what's going on.

The first part of the report mentioned album sales. The album has been on sale for five days, and the sales data for the first four days is 3.4133 copies.

Based on a standard edition album price of 1.6 yuan per album, this translates to sales of over 5.46 million yuan (approximately 404.04 million yuan).

Okay, that's true.

"Based on the popularity of the previous four days, Han Shuo's first album is likely to sell 7 copies, or even more."

"This means that physical album sales alone could reach 10 billion."

The prediction is well-founded and convincing.

"In terms of music sales, the performance of the nine songs in 'LoveTrap' is remarkable."

"Nearly a week after their release, all nine songs have firmly held onto their positions in the top fifteen, and they even occasionally top the charts on major music streaming websites."

"It challenged the status of this year's top hit song, 'One More Time,' in a matrix format."

It has only been a little over a month since the release of "One More Time", and the media predicts that the song will sell 10 billion copies of music in its first month.

Based on this standard, the reporter predicted that the first-month sales of the nine songs in "LoveTrap" would far exceed 10 billion.

Then, taking last year's top hit song "TeIlMe" as an example, which sold over 25 billion copies of music that year, we predict that "Love" will be a hit.

The album "Trap" generated 30 billion in digital music sales in its first year.

Han Shuo fell silent for a moment.

He absolutely could not say that the digital sales of all nine songs in "LoveTrap" couldn't beat the sales of just one song in "OneMore".

Time.

Admittedly, music sales will be affected by other artists' new songs, and the specific sales figures are subject to huge variables, making them far less convincing than predicted album sales figures.

However, based on the current level of interest, 30 billion is definitely not a pipe dream.

"Hmm—it seems almost flawless."

Finally, we'll discuss commercial performances and endorsements.

"May is the month of university anniversaries. It is understood that many universities have extended invitations to Hanshuo for their anniversary celebrations. Such revenue will be a considerable amount."

"Furthermore, although Han Shuo has only been in the industry for a short time, he has an excellent public image, and endorsement offers may be on the way."

"The numerous performance commitments for the school anniversary celebrations, coupled with the potential for a flood of endorsement deals, could very well bring Hanshuo 10 billion in revenue."

After Shin Chong-joo helped her friend Naza translate the report, she looked as if she had been baptized by holy light, her eyes sparkling brightly.

50 million.

That's amazing.

Na Zha Chong Ni Ni asked, "How much is 50 billion?"

Ni Ni, holding her phone, typed rapidly on a calculator: "With the Korean won's exchange rate slightly declining, 50 billion is now only worth about 3700 million!"

Her voice was trembling.

3700 million.

I wonder if the combined income of my ancestors for eighteen generations would ever reach that figure.

Kang Hanna smiled gently: "So, is it still Fake News now?"

Kim Yoon-ji's eyes were practically drooling.

The value of Han Shuo's degree is still rising.

Who would have thought this high-performing stock would keep going up?

Jiang Enhui straightened her full chest.

I wish I could make Han Shuo a simple Western meal: a sandwich right away.

Wen Xuanya secretly regretted it.

She should have stayed backstage at the music center yesterday, just like Ni Ni.

Whether it was surprise and admiration, or even love and affection, none of the beautiful women in the living room could remain calm amidst the changing expressions on their faces.

Who could remain indifferent to this?

It's likely that not only Kang Ji-young will have trouble sleeping that night, but everyone present will also be tossing and turning.

With their debut album generating a whopping 50 billion in sales, what will their first comeback in the second half of the year look like?

If such success can be achieved even in South Korea, a country with strong xenophobic sentiments, what kind of success can Han Shuo achieve with his Chinese digital album released in China?

I dare not think about it, I absolutely dare not think about it.

Han Shuo was thinking about it.

He wasn't concerned with the specific numbers, but rather with how to maximize his profits from this "praise-to-kill" topic by utilizing the report.

On the one hand, this report will inevitably become a weapon for some xenophobic elements to launch a fierce attack on him on social networks.

However, there is no need to worry too much.

He never intended to win over the kimchi market by pandering to others.

Instead of trying to please these people, it's better to make them look up to you from afar.

On the other hand, all humans are naturally drawn to strength, and as long as they continue to advance rapidly, the aura surrounding them will only grow stronger.

Today, both domestically and internationally, success literature and inspirational platitudes are rampant.

Once he successfully establishes the image of a successful person, he can break through the filter of a single fan circle and gain a massive number of fans across different circles.

They will continue to market themselves as "entrepreneurial idols" while downplaying their "singer" label.

"Stop staring at me, it's just forecast data."

"Furthermore, this is all sales revenue, which also needs to be shared with partners and music streaming platforms. Only a portion of the revenue ultimately goes to the company."

"That's still very impressive."

Ni Ni squeezed in front of Han Shuo.

If there weren't so many people, I really wanted to... (The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly).

sit down.

"Brother, let's drink!"

The atmosphere at the table became even more lively.

The sweet laughter of the birds was so enchanting it made one's bones melt.

Han Shuo got up to wash his face in the bathroom and bumped into Li Juli, who was coming out.

Without making a sound, he held Lee Ju-ri's waist, pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Remember to renew your shift today."
