Huayu: From the Era of Ringtones to Becoming a Legend

After Lu Jiuge finished speaking, Zheng Lin became even more nervous.

This move is not only a matter of life and death for Qianxing Entertainment, but also a major test of his abilities!

As the founder of Qianshan Jingyin and a shareholder of Qianxing Entertainment poached by Lu Jiuge at a high price, he urgently needs to prove himself.

The entire conference room at Qianxing Entertainment was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

In that life-or-death moment, they were all too nervous to speak.

Liu Sixi leaned back in his chair, his hands clenching unconsciously, his cloudy eyes filled with tension.

Lu Jiuge remained calm throughout, showing no sign of panic.

He knew better than anyone that once "Blue and White Porcelain" was released, Lingyun MP3 would definitely be a hit. This wasn't a gamble; it was a foregone conclusion.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy. Everyone was staring at Zheng Lin, waiting for the data from his MP3 sales channels.

"President Lu..."

Sales have picked up!

"This isn't just a slight increase, it's utter madness!"

After waiting agonizingly for half an hour, Zheng Lin finally shouted out the good news.

As he spoke, he had already projected the computer screen onto the conference room screen.

The group stared intently at the screen, their gazes fixed on the rapidly rising numbers, their pupils contracting sharply at the same time.

Lu Jiuge scanned the data, nodded slightly, and the last trace of concern in her heart completely disappeared.

Despite his absolute confidence in the song "Blue and White Porcelain," he still lacked the confidence to win in the face of capital.

Zheng Lin stared at the computer screen, excitedly announcing data updates:

"Within five minutes of the official launch of 'Blue and White Porcelain', Lingyun MP3 has already received over 20,000 orders across all channels!"

"Within ten minutes of going live, offline store inquiries exceeded 100,000, and dealers placed additional orders for 32,000 units!"

"Sales exceeded 100,000 units within fifteen minutes of launch, and are still skyrocketing!"

With each number announced, the atmosphere in the conference room grew even more enthusiastic.

Just over ten hours ago, affected by the joint boycott by twelve record companies, Lingyun MP3's daily sales barely exceeded 10,000.

With numerous distributors retreating, stores closing down, and supply chains adopting a wait-and-see attitude, not only Qianxing Entertainment but also Jiuyin Company are shrouded in the shadow of bankruptcy.

But now, with just one song, the situation has been completely reversed.

"And then there's the distribution channel!"

As Zheng Lin spoke, he became increasingly excited, the seriousness on his face vanishing in an instant, replaced by uncontrollable elation:

"Just received news from Jiuyin: all three chain digital brands have restarted their general distributor partnerships, with single-period orders exceeding 200,000 units. The overall cooperation scale for this year is guaranteed to exceed 2 million units!"

"The general distributor for the East China region has directly paid five million yuan in full, locking up all of our production capacity for this month!"

……

The data is still being updated rapidly.

The moment the number 200000 froze on the screen, Liu Sixi could no longer hold back. His eyes instantly reddened, and this veteran musician, who had been in the music industry for thirty years, clutched his chest, his voice choked with emotion:

"We did it! We really did it!"

"Xiao Lu, you did it! You turned a hopeless situation around with just one song!"

Looking at Lu Jiuge's retreating figure, Li Huizhen's eyes were filled with adoration that almost overflowed.

She was originally just a singer on the verge of fading into obscurity, and signed with Qianxing Entertainment as her last hope.

But now, Li Huizhen is absolutely certain that by following this man, she can not only make a comeback, but also become a queen of the music scene.

Lu Jiuge walked slowly to the tablet and calmly scanned the data.

Lingyun Player real-time sales: 202749 units

Online conversion rate: 687%

Channel return rate: 100%

Industry popularity index: 9.8 (out of 10)

His lips curled slightly upward, and his tone became more confident:

"This is just the beginning."

Zheng Lin forcibly suppressed his turbulent emotions, straightened his back, and solemnly asked for instructions:

"Mr. Lu, Wang Daqiang, the owner of Jiuyin Electronics, mentioned twice before that he wanted them to invest in the company. What do you mean by that...?"

Lu Jiuge turned around, stared at him for a while, and then spoke:

"Old Zheng, you're the head of Lingyun Technology. You decide everything regarding the company's development strategy; I won't participate!"

"But I must emphasize one point: none of your decisions can affect my output model; this is absolutely non-negotiable!"

Having received Lu Jiuge's clear answer, Zheng Lin was eager to try and repeatedly assured her:

"Rest assured, Mr. Lu, I will never waver in my commitment to Lingyun Technology's founding principles or your strategic plans!"

"The reason for investing in Jiuyin Electronics is to enable the Lingyun sound quality optimization algorithm to be better implemented and to have a testing ground with greater influence!"

Lu Jiuge nodded:

"You handle this!"

"Immediately notify Jiuyin Electronics to operate its production lines at full capacity, 24 hours a day in three shifts, and expand production capacity regardless of cost to meet all channel orders."

"Tell all distributors that the more inventory they stock now, the greater the profits they will reap later."

"I don't want steady growth, I don't want a slow and steady stream of income."

He raised his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife, and spoke each word with resounding force, echoing throughout the conference room:

"I want to break MP3 sales records!"

"I want the entire music industry, the entire digital world, and everyone who looks down on us, boycotts us, and smears us to see this clearly."

"Who is the market leader?"

"Who are the rule-makers?"

"yes!"

At this moment, Zheng Lin, Liu Sixi, Chen Bin, Zuo Wei, and Li Huizhen no longer obeyed Lu Jiuge out of superior-subordinate obedience, but were completely and sincerely convinced of her worth.

After giving a pep talk, Lu Jiuge gave a concluding summary before the meeting ended:

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. Everyone, please prepare yourselves, especially Lao Zheng. He needs to stay alert and proactively reach out to other factories and brands!"

"Jiuyin Electronics has limited production capacity. Our next focus is on contacting more brand factories to rapidly deploy the Lingyun algorithm and gain control over digital music output terminals!"

……

Meanwhile, twelve record companies are co-hosting a meeting room.

The atmosphere here had long since changed from the previous lively and playful banter to a deathly silence filled with oppression and panic.

On the huge projection screen, online comments about "Blue and White Porcelain" were playing in a loop.

"The pinnacle of traditional Chinese style!"

"A masterpiece of music!"

"Lu Jiuge is deified!"

"A top-tier expression of traditional culture!"

"The sound quality of the Lingyun player far surpasses all other brands worldwide!"

"I've heard that Jiuyin Electronics' production capacity can't keep up with demand, so I suggest everyone buy now!"

……

Each word of praise was like a needle, piercing the hearts of all the record company executives present.

Zhao Mingliang, the CEO of Yawei Records who had previously been the most arrogant and boasted that he would crush Lu Jiuge, was now deathly pale, slumped in his chair, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his voice was dry and hoarse.

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible... How could Lu Jiuge, a grassroots charlatan who started out writing ringtones, possibly write a masterpiece like 'Blue and White Porcelain'?"

No one answered him.

Because everyone was gripped by a huge panic.

They joined forces to lay a trap, colluding with SG Records to create momentum, inciting music critics to boycott, and pressuring distribution channels to block them, thinking they could easily crush Lu Jiuge and Qianxing Entertainment into ashes.

But now, Lu Jiuge has not only not fallen, but has completely reversed his reputation with a single song, transforming from an industry cancer into a creator of traditional Chinese style music, and from a speculative businessman into a dark horse in the music scene.

What terrified them even more was yet to come.

A data specialist rushed in, pale-faced, holding a report in his hand, his voice trembling uncontrollably:

"Managers, something terrible has happened!"

"According to the latest real-time data, Lingyun MP3 players have sold over 200,000 units since the release of 'Blue and White Porcelain'!"

"The entire internet is scrambling for equipment right now, distributors have completely switched sides, and the digital market has been completely ignited by Lingyun!"

"What's even more alarming is that over 90% of digital music output terminal manufacturers are now announcing plans to release terminal devices that are compatible with Lingyun's audio quality optimization algorithm and equipped with Lingyun players!"

After listening to the data specialist's report, Zhao Mingliang immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"We absolutely cannot let this happen. If we do, not only will we fail to control Lu Jiuge, but we'll also help him create a historical monopoly on digital music distribution channels!"
