Devil's Music
[411] Chapter 70 Forged Troop Part II (1)
Two days later, a Jamsil department store in Seoul, South Korea.
The Jamsil Department Store is a department store that entered a skyscraper on more than 100 floors that was hit by polls in a sinkhole incident a few years ago. The safety incident that occurred during the initial construction did not have guests for the first few years, but increasingly, more guests were gathering and now it has more guests than other department stores.
The opening hours of the department store were ten in the morning, but the lines, one by one, went past eight in the morning and turned into a large crowd that encircled the department store.
As the record business was in a downturn, the record store disappeared and only the audio device store remained, although all the department stores in South Korea unusually allowed record shop access, which was a business choice with the record record record record in mind.
The record store on the third floor of Jamsil Department Store was opened two months ago, but only flies in Paris, except for Montana's Fury album, some Southeast Asian and Chinese tourists buying records from K-Pop Idol.
However, the department store was very excited about the album sales at the end of November, so they were keeping the store on the best neck of escalation, even if there was no sales.
Even before the opening of the department store, the lines at the entrance of the department store made officials smile.
Despite the midwinter dawn heat wave, security personnel were dispatched for customers standing outside the department store, and eventually the department store side, which opened an hour before the opening, was guided to the third floor, entering the department store in an orderly fashion with complete control of the security personnel.
However, as the passers-by saw the store opening, the line was again extended to the entrance of the department store.
A female manager who was controlling the busy customers heard a radio looking for her and hurriedly headed to a third-floor record store.
“I'm busy, why are you calling me again!! Yisshi.”
When a female manager who appeared to be in her late thirties jumped over the escalate on the third floor, it was seen that a 70s man was carrying a bag full of executive secretaries.
The angry manager looks at his face and frowns as he runs.
“Oh, Chairman! What brings you here this morning? ”
The chairman of Jamsil Department Store was 73 years old and a Japanese Korean. The media announced that they were native Korean, but the company itself was a Japanese company, so Japanese blood could not be mixed.
However, born in Korea and raised as a Korean, he was a person who thought he was Korean, and was a real executive who was wary of the transfer of funds to Japan beyond the need.
Seeing the people standing around with a gracious smile, he gladly looks at the manager.
“Haha, three months ago, I saw your plan and showed you that my choice was finally right. ”
“Oh my God, Chairman. No, I just got lucky looking at the knights. ”
“Haha, it's not a big deal that I was always looking at knights and figuring out what was going on in the world. Look at these people, no matter how many sales you do before you build a department store, and even though you did a show, I've never seen anything like this in my life. Hey, Secretary Kim. ”
Kim, an executive secretary called Secretary, stands behind him and leans forward with his back bent.
“How many customers have you lined up for so far? ”
Starting with the record store on the third floor, the shop circled around, and there was not enough twisted rope around like an amusement trail. When the chairman saw the emergency exit queued up to the bottom of the stairs, he immediately answered as if he had already understood.
“We keep getting reports every five minutes, but there are 4,300 people waiting from the last report to date. ”
The chairman smiled satisfactorily and saw the manager.
“Haha, look at this. Four thousand. So, are the supplies ready? I heard that the Pantageo side was running low on initial sales due to pre-purchase reductions. ”
The manager clasped his head.
“Yes, sir. In fact, I was very worried about that, and Fantasy rented several factories in China and hired 100,000 people for a week. It is expected to digest about half of the volume initially requested. ”
The president's eyes narrowed.
“Half of what you asked for? How many are there? ”
“Yes, sir. 10,000 on the first day and 5,000 on the next, which is a similar level of dividend to other Korean department stores. ”
“Hmmm… I see. It's already 4,300 people lined up on the first day…… so by noon we might be sold out…… Hey Secretary Kim, will you get in touch with Chairman Wang of Pantageo? ”
“I'll be ready right away. ”
The chairman grabbed the manager's shoulder and said,
“I trust you to raise all your sales this month at the record store, so I will try my best to keep my customers out of trouble. ”
“Yes, sir. I'll do my best."

At 10: 00 a.m.
Finally, the record point covered with cloth was opened. Through thorough control, the customers who entered the record store ten at a time ran as soon as they entered, carrying Kay's new album, 'The Nature’, displayed in front of them.
After calculating whether 120,000 won was worth enough for a CD, they enjoyed taking receipts and CDs and photographing authentication photos in front of record stores, and they had already purchased them and left the department store, deliberately carrying CDs in plain sight, buying envy of people.
In the afternoon, however, the number of guests who lined up did not decrease, and by the end of the hour, there was a sellout that the president was worried about.
A man flirts in front of a record store with a woman who appears to be his girlfriend, and security guards jump in.
“No, I can't pay you enough! Do you know how many hours I've been in line? On a cold day? What kind of department store is this? I don't know, get me an album right now! ”
The woman who appeared to be her lover was greatly disappointed.
“Brother, do we have to line up again tomorrow? Hing, I was so jealous of the kids because I told SNS I was going to the department store with my brother to buy an album today... Hing. ”
The man shouts louder as he looks disappointed.
“Get the manager out! There's got to be a CD here for the department store guys. Get it now! ”
The man shouts, and the people standing in the back row rumble.
“What, is it sold out already? ”
“Hey, I've been standing in line for three hours! Oh, you heard your girlfriend. She said she could only live in line since dawn yesterday, but she got in at 10: 00 in the middle of the night and sold out in three hours. How little did you bring in? You sold out in three hours? ”
“Yeah, I thought I could live in the biggest department store, but I'm annoyed. ”
Some customers quickly took out their phones and looked for live album sales news, raising eyebrows while checking if they couldn't live in other stores.
“Huff... What is this? ”
A man who seemed to be his friend looked into his crystal and asked.
“Why, what is it? ”
“Oh my God! Music videos!! ”
“Huh? Why a music video? ”
“Music videos are on VCDs in the album! Other than that, we won't be making it public on broadcasts, YouTube or streaming sites for a while! If you can't buy an album, you can't even watch music videos! Ah, this sucks!!! ”
“Huh, really? I was thinking of listening to you on YouTube when you said you sold out, and we can't do that either? ”
“Look at this article. It says that anyone who uses any means of unlawful dissemination will sue immediately. ”
“Damn... Hey! Let's go to another department store! ”
“Not the department store! Go to a little record shop in the neighborhood. There might be more where that came from! ”
The man's words were accurate. Lin was not on a department store level, but she was also supplying supplies to all the small record stores, and the owners of the small stores were in a hurry to finance more than a thousand units.
When people wandered around a large department store and couldn't buy the album they had obtained from a local record store and posted it as an authenticated photo, those who had given up had once again excelled as a local merchant.
The small shop owners, who had not been able to pay the rent properly because they were not in business, screamed happily, and Fantasy was distracted by additional purchasing inquiries from around the world in real time.
Fortunately, Lin had foreseen the situation and hired a subcontractor specializing in customer counseling, but Pantageo's servers that received additional volume orders from customer service were literally on the verge of an explosion.
“An extra 150,000 orders from the Paris Department Store in Santiago Almacenes, Chile! Is it available until tomorrow?"
“Not until tomorrow! Available in three days! ”
“200,000 additional orders from Daslu Department Store in São Paulo, Brazil! ”
“You can rotate the quantity that went towards Venezuela. ”
“Spin what, spin it! Venezuela has also ordered extra supplies! ”
Wang Hao smiled as more than a hundred associates looked at the additional orders on the PC monitor in real time, and saw them rolling out the window through discussions between country representatives.
“Huhu, Yan 'an. Again, we know that Lynn did the right thing. ”
Yan 'an, wearing jeans and folding his arms, straightened out.
“Yes, sir. Teasers are increasingly opening up purchases of music videos that have raised expectations and are not visible to regular albums in the afternoon. ”
“Haha, Director Lynn's marketing tools are unrivaled. So, what happened to the buyer? ”
“Director Lean has signed a contract with the four largest courier companies in advance and has completed the delivery to the local courier warehouse two days before the delivery to each country.
Shipping started yesterday at dawn, and all pre-orders have been made available for delivery by 5pm today. ”
“Haha, that woman is very thorough. But Director Lynn specifically instructed me not to advertise on TV or radio. Do you know why? ”
“Haha, you don't have to. There are thousands of articles per hour all over the world, and there's no reason to market them separately. ”
“Hehe, yes. Did Kay say he still doesn't care about the broadcast? ”
“Yes, but even the music video was private from Director Lynn, so she asked for at least a broadcast. Director Lee Byung-jun reports that he will be featured on several broadcasts with two girls in Korea. ”
“Really? Now you're thinking of doing the right thing. So, what's the first broadcast? ”
“Yes, since Kay is Korean, I think she wants to be on Korean television. ”
“Hmm…… I wish it were on American television. That's too bad. ”
“No, I am contacting Korean television stations not only in the United States, but all over the world, and they are immediately subtitled and transmitted to each country. not with the cable, but with a regular broadcast. ”
“Really? Huh. There you go. Before you report back to me, tell her she can put the planning into action. ”
“Yes, sir. ”
