Chapter 124 The attention of a popular singer (begging for a 5-star review)
The news of Hao Qiang's record release spread like a spring breeze, quickly reaching every corner of the campus and sparking a buying frenzy among students.
The main reason was that Hao Qiang was willing to schedule a weekend for signing.
This is a benefit for students. What if his autographed record becomes valuable one day?
For Hao Qiang, signing is equivalent to gaining experience and earning two kinds of money at the same time.
The students of this school give him face, so he also gives them face.
After a few years, he believed that his signed records were worth a lot of money, after all, he would not release them anymore.
And those students who did not buy his records will definitely regret it.
At the same time, many media outlets rushed to report on the event and praised Hao Qiang's extraordinary singing skills without hesitation.
Of course, this is not without hype from Lin Nan's company.
However, people who have heard Hao Qiang's singing have expressed their admiration.
Each of his three songs is a masterpiece. Even if the praise in the media reports is a bit exaggerated, it is difficult to conceal his outstanding musical talent.
Many music media gave highly consistent praise to Hao Qiang's three songs, making his musical talent more widely recognized.
On March 10, Hao Qiang received a call from Lin Nan, bringing him exciting good news - his record sales had exceeded 3 copies.
Of course, this includes the record store's inventory.
Excellent songs can always transcend geographical and cultural boundaries, and Hao Qiang's singing is just like that.
His songs are not only warmly welcomed in China, but also become popular in areas such as Hong Kong, and he is even well-known in Southeast Asian countries.
Because of his personal performance and the legendary status of Hao Qiang himself, many consumers who buy his products do so out of curiosity.
The impact brought about by this incident has made the business of fireworks in the world even more prosperous.
Zhang Fu, the owner of Muxiangyuan, and Liu Guilai, the owner of Yipintang, could only express their sincere admiration after witnessing the prosperity of the Renjian Fireworks flagship store.
Zhang Fu was filled with emotion. He looked at the bustling crowd and sighed that his youth had passed. At the same time, he could not help but be impressed by the brilliant prospects of the worldly life: "This momentum is truly unstoppable!
If he could open a few more branches, and each one was so prosperous, Hao Qiang would surely become one of the richest men!"
"Yes, Lao Zhang, Boss Hao is going further and further away, while we are still struggling in our small pond." Liu Gui said, "He became famous by relying on his own fame, we can't rely on it."
The catering colleagues on the sixth floor of Zhengjia Plaza witnessed the business that has been going on for more than a month and is becoming more and more prosperous. The envy in their hearts is beyond words.
They roughly estimated that Renjian Fireworks' turnover in February may be as high as 2 million yuan, and its profit exceeded 1 million yuan.
This is their estimate based on the overall turnover rate of Renjian Fireworks, and the difference will not be too big.
In fact, these peers' guesses were quite accurate.
In February, the Renjian Fireworks flagship store had revenue of 218.1 million yuan, pre-tax profit of 111.8 million yuan, and after-tax profit of approximately 108 million yuan.
During the Spring Festival last month, the company paid employees double wages, and triple wages from the first to the third day of the New Year. The employee labor costs were relatively high, reaching 20 yuan.
The flagship store has set a performance bonus of 15% of the basic salary for monthly sales of 120 million yuan.
Monthly operating income reaches 150 million yuan, 20%;
Monthly operating income is more than 200 million yuan, 25%.
Generally speaking, even with a 25% performance bonus, the labor cost is about 15 yuan.
Of course, if the company pays more to its employees, Hao Qiang will also earn more.
According to the current business situation, the investment can be recovered in three months.

Bay Province,
When Zhou Lun's agent mentioned Hao Qiang's EP, he also became very interested.
So he bought Hao Qiang's EP and listened to it carefully.
After listening to it, Zhou Lun was also deeply shocked. He exclaimed: "What a genius!"
He has been in the music industry for many years, held a world tour in 2002, and appeared on the stage of the YTV Spring Festival Gala last year. He has a great influence in the Chinese music scene.
Hao Qiang suddenly appeared, but it seems that he did not intend to enter the music industry. He was more interested in playing around and instead devoted himself to the catering industry. According to media reports, his catering business is booming and he even makes as much money as he did in the entertainment industry.
Zhou Lun sincerely admired this genius, who was only a few years younger than him and was also a top student.

New Canada,
Lin Jie planned to release his third original album "Number" on March 25, but his agent told him that it might have some impact. The EP recently released by the new singer Hao Qiang from China was selling well and his singing ability was highly praised.
He was a little curious because he had heard the name Hao Qiang some time ago.
After listening to Hao Qiang's songs, he had to admit that the three songs were indeed sung very well, especially the song "Cao Cao", which set off a craze with its unique oriental rock style.
After listening to this song, Lin Jie even felt that the style of "Cao Cao" was more suitable for his voice and singing style.
……
Hao Qiang's songs emerged with their unique charm, and his record sales were extremely hot, which naturally attracted widespread attention from his peers in the music industry.
It is worth mentioning that the mobile phone ringtones of these three songs were already very popular. Now with the launch of better versions, the sales of ringtones have skyrocketed and continue to be popular.
Nowadays, Hao Qiang has gradually reduced the number of inspections of hot pot restaurants.
The two store managers called to report that many media reporters had been waiting for him in the store recently, hoping to interview him.
Unable to interview Hao Qiang, these media reporters had to take a few photos of the daily life and report back.
However, some astute media reporters learned that Hao Qiang had the habit of attending classes at CUHK, so they squatted at the campus gate, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
On the afternoon of April 11,
A Porsche quietly drove into the campus, followed closely by two sharp reporters.
When Hao Qiang turned off the engine and got out of the car, the two reporters immediately rushed over and asked eagerly, "Mr. Hao, I'm a reporter from Xinlang. Can I give you an interview?"
"Boss Hao, after your record is released, are you interested in entering the entertainment industry? What are your plans for releasing new songs?"
Faced with this sudden interview, Hao Qiang seemed a little surprised and had to stop.
Soon, more than a dozen passing students gathered around to watch curiously.
"I can only answer three questions for each of you, as I have a class soon.
Here at CUHK, I am just an ordinary student and I don’t want our communication to affect other students’ studies.
"I understand your work is not easy, but I also hope you can understand that it's not easy for me either. What if I fail the course?" Hao Qiang replied nonsensically. Among the students watching, those who knew he was a good student couldn't help but laugh when they heard him say this.
If he fails the course, I guess all the students in the major will fail as well.
But one has to admire Hao Qiang, he handled the interview with reporters very naturally.
Hao Qiang paused, then turned to the reporter who had been bombarding him with questions, "I want to make one thing clear: I will not be entering the entertainment industry, and I am not a celebrity.
I probably won’t release any new songs. You can think of this as just a hobby for me.
"You sing so well, are you planning to hold a concert?"
After a moment's thought, Hao Qiang replied, "I don't have any such plans at the moment."
"Then why did Mr. Hao refuse to enter the entertainment industry? Did he feel it was too complicated?"
Hao Qiang smiled calmly and replied, "I am an engineering student. My future focus will be on scientific research and I will not get involved in the entertainment industry.
I hope you can convey my meaning accurately when publishing the report.
I'm neither a fish nor a dragon, so I don't know how deep the entertainment industry is, and I have no interest in exploring it."
After that, he answered each reporter's question quickly and orderly, then hurried away, saying he had to go to class.
Seeing this, the reporters also tactfully stopped chasing after him.
After class, when Hao Qiang was about to drive away, he found that there was a media reporter waiting for an interview.
In order to promote his new songs and "Human World Fireworks", Hao Qiang was happy to accept interviews when he had time, and he was not always against them.
It's not easy for these media reporters to stake out him.
He drove away only after the interview was over.
Previously, after Guangdong Provincial Satellite TV and media reported on Hao Qiang, tens of millions of people in the country knew "Hao Qiang" for the first time.
But then, Hao Qiang's report soon fell silent.
Not to mention him, even celebrities need constant hype to maintain exposure.
With the hype in the past few days and the frantic coverage by various media outlets, Renjian Fireworks and Hao Qiang have become increasingly famous.
It is estimated that more than 100 million people already know "Hao Qiang" and know about the daily life of the people.
After all, Hao Qiang is a freshman, and his deeds are so legendary. He is a man from a poor family who has made a comeback. People like to read this kind of news, and the media also caters to the public's wishes and increases coverage.
