The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Xu Xian combined her own thinking with the suggestions she overheard from fans, and she really found a suitable gift.

To be precise, this idea was inspired by fans, at least in their opinion, this gift is really valuable.

However, for Xu Xian, she actually hesitated for a while, but considering factors such as price and time, she had no choice but to make a decision.

You can't blame Xu Xian for thinking too much, it's really that this gift is too special, she wants to give autographs to those women as gifts.

This may be ambiguous, to be precise, Xu Xian wants to buy their past autographed items from fans, and then give them to herself as gifts.

Just talking about this idea itself, Xu Xian is amazed by it, of course, there is also an impulse to laugh.

Although it is not appropriate to say this, the so-called autographs of artists are actually of no value in themselves, at least Xu Xian thinks so.

Every time they return, they have to sign continuously for who knows how long, and it is normal for their hands to cramp.

In that case, don't even think about how much emotion they put into it. Even the signatures have been simplified to the extreme. If there is no enthusiastic person to point out, it would be a miracle if they can recognize it.

Correspondingly, they can sign in person, which at least has a certain memory value for the fans themselves, but once it is handed over to others, it seems to become a pile of "garbage".

However, this is only from Xu Xian's personal perspective. She can understand the psychology of fans to some extent. After all, she can't interact with them all the time. It seems that it's not bad to have a signature as a comfort?

After there is a demand, this thing has its own value, and Xu Xian only has a vague understanding and guess about this in the past.

She really became familiar with this market, and it was not until Li Menglong began to "resell" their signatures that they first knew how much exaggerated prices their signatures could be copied.

However, with the increase in Li Menglong's shipments, their signatures have stabilized to a relatively stable price. It is said that the company occasionally opens a small account to purchase in order to maintain the price.

In short, this market is relatively mature, and Xu Xian can even make certain choices among a bunch of signatures with clear prices, which is very interesting.

Of course, Seohyun searched for her signature first. This is the instinct of an artist. She doesn't want to be the last in this regard.

In fact, Seohyun is confident. Although she has always refused to say so, objectively speaking, she is indeed one of the most popular girls. In many cases, she can even remove the "one"!

However, Seohyun dare not express it this way. She dare not bet on the mentality of those women. What if they are jealous and want to kill people?

But the cold result gave Seohyun a heavy blow. She almost stuffed her whole head into the screen. She must be dazzled, otherwise why is the price of her signature so "cheap"?

Of course, this low price is only compared to the other girls. Seohyun doesn't understand. Does this market behavior also have to be ranked according to seniority?

Just because she is the youngest, the price of the signature should be ranked last?

Fortunately, Seohyun quickly denied this unreliable speculation, and turned to the introduction of enthusiastic fans to learn the truth behind it.

There weren't that many conspiracies in the process. Simply put, it was because the shipment volume of Xu Xian's autographs was too large. If there were too many items, the price would naturally be reduced. Isn't this a very reasonable distribution?

As for why Xu Xian's autographs had the largest number of sales, the fans were hesitant and couldn't give a specific reason, but Xu Xian couldn't be clearer.

As the person involved, she knew the inside story very well!

Why did she have so many autographs? It's because she's easy to talk to!

When the other girls faced Li Menglong's request for autographs, they would more or less give some obstacles. Only Xu Xian regarded this as part of her job, and she was very happy when signing.

Now it seems that she really trusted Li Menglong wrongly. It's okay for him to resell autographs, but can't he control the shipment volume?

In fact, this is the result of Li Menglong's control. He really is intentionally controlling himself.

After all, this kind of thing makes money too quickly and too violently!

Just find a piece of paper, let the girls sign their names on it with a few words, and then sell it at a price that is tens of thousands or millions of times different from the actual cost. This is simply printing money!

Of course, the cost considered here is only the actual value of the paper, and the girls themselves are ignored.

But it must be said that at least for Li Menglong, there is really no cost consideration for asking the girls to help.

This market is relatively niche, and Li Menglong can be said to have almost monopolized the only shipping channel. In this case, if he just lets go, it will be enough to completely destroy the entire market.

But in that case, it will not be him who will be criticized in the end. The staff will get into trouble and the artists will take the blame. Isn't this the most common thing?

In order not to affect the image of the girls, of course, he must also consider his remaining conscience. In short, Li Menglong has controlled his greed very well.

Otherwise, the price Xuxian sees now may be one or two zeros less!

Xuxian did not dwell on this issue for too long. She still trusts Li Menglong. If she has any questions, she can ask him directly in private.

What she is hesitating about now is the purchase method, or more accurately, the purchase channel.

Since you know the source of these signatures, why don't you go directly to Li Menglong to buy them, and let the second-hand dealers transfer the difference here?

However, considering that Li Menglong is the one who pays the money, and the people who make money seem to be their fans, Xu Xian reluctantly placed the order.

This kind of transaction naturally does not have any reliable logistics system. It is all offline payment and delivery. As for the transaction location, it seems that the fried chicken shop is actually a popular place.

This is understandable. After all, the company is upstairs. This is at least a semi-official venue. Maybe if there is a dispute, you can go upstairs to find staff to help identify the authenticity.

And once you squat on the girls in the process and get some of their autographs, then it is considered a profit, a double profit.

Although Xu Xian herself feels that there are some objections to this transaction location, she still chooses it here, mainly for safety.

Once the fan discovers her existence, it is hard to say what she will think in her heart.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Xian might not be so scared. Although she is beautiful, she is not so beautiful that people ignore the law.

But money is different. It is not an empty saying that money can move people's hearts. What if the other party kidnaps Xu Xian and forces her to sign continuously?

It is no exaggeration to say that this is not kidnapping an artist, but kidnapping a human money printing machine!

With the consideration of not wanting the other party to make mistakes, Xu Xian thinks that the fried chicken shop is really a good choice. She doesn't believe that the boss lady and her gang will sit and watch her being kidnapped.

And in order to avoid embarrassment and accidents, Xu Xian didn't even show up. She asked the staff on the first floor to help her trade throughout the whole process.

The process was also unbelievably smooth, mainly because Xu Xian didn't have any intention of bargaining.

First, the money was Li Menglong, and she didn't need to save for him; second, after all, they were buying their own autographs. Wouldn't bargaining be a pain for herself?

In short, Xu Xian successfully got the purchased autographs. Looking at the slightly unfamiliar autographs in her hands, she once doubted whether they were fake?

After all, this kind of signature is too simple, and it is not difficult to imitate it. As for the consequences of forgery, it seems that I have never heard of a few artists daring to sue their fans.

No matter how excessive these so-called "fans" are, as long as they are called fans, it is enough to make the artists timid.

Of course, there are still very few fans like this. Although such people are extremely disgusting, the feelings of the vast majority of fans should still be considered.

However, Xu Xian's current position is still stable. If she is determined to eradicate a few termites for her fans, it seems that she can also bear the corresponding consequences.

But there is a big premise for wanting to do this, that is, the signature sold by this fan is indeed problematic, so does it need to be identified?

This touches on Xu Xian's knowledge blind spot. How to identify the authenticity of an artist's signature?

Normally, the first reaction of ordinary people is to find the artist himself. As one of the parties involved, their answers should be the most authoritative.

But Xu Xian is the party involved. Looking at the signature in her hand, she doesn't remember signing anything at all. As for identifying the details, it is even more difficult for her.

Most of the other girls were similar, and Xu Xian had no intention of disturbing them, otherwise there would be no surprise.

Since the artist himself could not do it, the artist's company should have a way to confirm the authenticity, after all, this involves the interests of the company.

If the counterfeiter can pass off the fake as the real, then he is robbing the company of money. In this case, there should be some additional methods, right?

With this simple idea, Xu Xian went upstairs to look around, but the result surprised her. No one could give an accurate judgment.

As for Xu Xian's doubts, someone also told her the truth in private. In theory, the company does not need to judge the authenticity, but only needs to confirm the other party's behavior and position.

Let's not talk about small-scale counterfeiting. The company does not have so much energy to deal with it.

Once it rises to a certain scale, it will compete with the company. At this time, what evidence does the company need?

You must know that the company is the official and has absolute authority in this matter. If you say that the other party has a fake, then it must not be true!

It is very simple to make the other party suffer, and there is no need to divide the energy to pay attention to it separately.

However, the other party also reminded Xu Xian implicitly that the impact of this incident on the company level was pitifully small, but for a specific person, it would be a life-and-death struggle.

As for who this person was, Xu Xian's mind had already flashed Li Menglong's figure.

It does make sense. The company is so big that some minor details can be completely ignored.

But when it comes to Li Menglong, this is almost the only source of cash flow for his small treasury. How could he not pay attention?

As for what other channels he has to make money from besides selling autographs, it is naturally cheating girls on a daily basis.

In order to confirm her thoughts, Xu Xian took the initiative to find her. Of course, it is not impossible to say that she returned to work early.

Li Menglong was very calm about Xu Xian's appearance, as if he had foreseen this scene a long time ago: "How is it? Have you chosen the gift? Is there any money left? Don't think about secretly intercepting it!"

This statement was like a confession. Did he do similar things every day, so he had similar suspicions now?

How could Xu Xian covet his little money? This was simply an insult to her!

However, Xu Xian still sat down patiently. She did not answer Li Menglong's question, but instead slapped her own signature on Li Menglong's desk.

Xu Xian did not mean to speak, but just wanted to test Li Menglong's observation skills and see what answer he could give.

As a result, Li Menglong's performance surprised her, which was far beyond her expectations.

Li Menglong did think that this was the name Xu Xian had just signed at the first time, but when he picked it up and played with it, he immediately asked a new question: "Where did you get it? I have issued this card for at least half a year. You shouldn't have any left in your hand!"

Sure enough, professional things should be done by professionals. Look at Li Menglong's question. There is no need to say whether it is true or false. He can even give the time of issuance.

Xu Xian took the initiative to ask Li Menglong about this issue, and this really touched his itch.

He has always believed that this business can be made bigger and stronger, but neither the company nor the girls care about it.

Sure enough, Xu Xian has a good vision and finally discovered the business opportunity here?

Li Menglong has no intention of keeping it to himself, and generously shares his experience accumulated over the years with Xu Xian.

And Xu Xian was really shocked by the tricks here, from the material to the signature style, and even some details she has never heard of, can be reflected in the price.

Li Menglong even thinks that destroying some cards will increase the value of the remaining cards.

If Li Menglong's proposal is followed completely, these cards should be as formal as possible, and a series of rules should be set to determine their value, including a series of complete issuance, identification and even recycling institutions.

Once it can be formed, this is a promising sunrise industry. Xu Xian subconsciously wants to participate in it.

However, she is still somewhat rational and even sees the biggest problem: "Isn't this cutting fans' leeks?"

Although Li Menglong can still give a lot of reasons, they can't cover up the problem of ugly eating.

The reputation of an artist is the basis for them to make money, which is completely different from other industries, so Li Menglong should stop dreaming and continue to engage in his gray industry secretly...
