After the second comeback, after everyone reviewed the data issues, Song Shengshi raised a problem discovered on the stage.

"Should I get a cheer stick?"

After I started playing songs, I could barely hear the fans' voices.

After looking at the company's financial statements, Representative Jin said that he could try out a simple version with a lower cost and lower price to see how the fans responded.

Therefore, the first version of the support stick was released. The simple stick shape can only emit quartz rose pink and tranquil blue. In fact, the factory does not have these two color numbers, so we just chose a similar one, but the final effect was unexpected. Yes, the light stick has the SVT diamond icon and Seventeen’s name on it.

Although it is not the kind of beautiful diamond support stick that Song Sheng saw in his previous life, it is considered good according to the current financial strength of the company.

They were able to appear on so many singing shows just after they debuted. Song Shengshi thought it was free to appear on singing shows. Later, when she calculated the budget, she discovered that she had to pay a fee called a competition fee if she wanted to appear on singing shows. , popular programs such as Inkigayo and Music Bank also pay relatively high competition fees, nearly 3 million.

Other singing programs pay less, around 10 to 20 million.

However, if a candidate is admitted, this fee will be waived.

Therefore, for their group, the expenses in the early stage of their debut are the largest, with a monthly hard expenditure of nearly 8 million won, not including food expenses and various transportation expenses.

Originally, after Representative Kim sold the house, the members planned to use wired headphones connected to their mobile phones as earphones out of guilt. As a result, Representative Kim said that the company's accounts were relatively comfortable and there was no need to save here because the stage was directly presented to the audience. For fans, although I believe they can dance well even if they have ear loops, they are neatly organized, but they cannot keep up emotionally, and the final effect will be compromised.

"That's it for today. Let's go back and have a good rest, and then we will go to customize the ear return tomorrow." Representative Jin patted Quan Shunrong, who was nearest to him, on the shoulder.

Then the next day, I took the members to customize the earphones. Although it was only the lowest price, it was everyone’s first earphones.

Everyone cherished it very much, and Kim Minkyu even bought nail polish stickers online to make his earrings shiny.

In any case, customizing exclusive support sticks is an expense for the company, so apart from the final production process, the members themselves are responsible for the design of the stickers on the support sticks.

Later, Representative Jin ordered 3 sticks as the first batch. After receiving them, everyone couldn't wait to start a live broadcast, introducing this support stick to Carat on the live broadcast, and also used it to shoot various short dance videos for promotion.

Song Shengshi saw that it resembled a lightsaber and even mentioned a popular point from the future - lightsaber transformation for editing and shooting short videos.

The first such video was edited by him himself and paired with popular free music. When the final effect came out, the editing team members were shocked.

Song Shengshi: Haha, let me give you a little shock of the future earthy trend.

After the mini11 album came back in November, the sales channels for support sticks were opened.

Domestic express transportation in South Korea is more convenient, and there are offline stores where you can purchase it. So what should domestic fans do?

How to deal with international postage and tariffs? When including these, the domestic price has almost doubled.

This didn't work. Song Shengshi told Representative Jin that the domestic aspect should be left to him. After all, logistics and transportation were still the happy home of Song Shengshi and Xu Mo.

After some operations by Xu Mo and Song Shengshi, when the batch of support sticks were finally shipped to China, the price was exactly the same as that purchased in offline stores in South Korea.

Song Shengshi: Is there still money to be made?

Xu Mo: You can make money, but not much. Why not sell pancakes in front of the elementary school?

Song Shengshi: Haha, that’s fine if you didn’t post it upside down.

In the end, the profit that went to the company was enough, and Representative Jin was already used to it.

3 sticks really underestimated the terrible purchasing power of the carat group, and they were sold out on the first day. Representative Jin urgently contacted the factory to restock, and finally sold nearly 7 sticks, and this figure is still growing.

Dafa, CEO Kim repeatedly looked at the data report. There are 50 YouTube fans, and nearly 20 physical albums have been sold. The number of electronic albums is smaller but still 15. Just last week, cheer sticks were sold. Especially the purchasing power of Chinese fans is really scary.

Thinking of this, Representative Jin once again lamented Song Shengshi's foresight, which was really amazing.

Less than a year after svt’s debut, the profits it brings can not only support its own subsequent development, but can even feed back the company’s other projects.

Because the album profit share in svt's plan is 60% for the artist and 40% for the company, excluding various expenses, the members of svt also received their first salary two months after their second comeback.

It’s not much, but it’s really a sense of accomplishment.

Song Shengshi received 50 Korean won, equivalent to nearly 3000 yuan in RMB.

Song Shengshi added to a large amount of "huge money" and transferred 2000 yuan to each of his parents and sister, saying it was his first salary.

The parents were very happy and said that their son had grown up, but with pity in their tone. Before going to bed at night, Song Shengshi found a text message on his mobile phone reminding him that there was an extra transfer in the children's card. Song Shengshi saw that it was 10,000 yuan.

This is so funny. Are you replacing it with your parents?

While chatting, I vaguely heard some information from my parents about Song Qingyue's transfer of schools, which made Song Shengshi worried and quickly asked about the specific situation.

"She kind of wants to study abroad. She wants to study abroad after finishing junior high school."

"Are you coming to South Korea? I'll help you ask when the time comes."

Song Qingyue rushed out from the side and squeezed into the screen, saying that was not the case. She wanted to go to England. Who wants to go to the same country as you?

Song Shengshi:?

It's true, since entering junior high school, we have become less and less close to each other, and there is even a faint feeling of playing devil's advocate.

My parents saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts. How could this be a naysayer? They still wanted to go abroad after graduating from junior high school like their elder brother. They just didn’t want to show it so obviously, so they deliberately chose another country.

"Oh? So what major do you want to study in the future?" Song Shengshi lay on the bed and asked casually.

“I want to study life sciences at Cambridge.”

Song Shengshi suddenly sat up from the bed and stared at the screen blankly.

"I know, I know. Brother, you must have said that the creature is a sinkhole or something. My ears are almost calloused..."

"No," Song Shengshi blinked, then blinked again to hold back the wetness, "Biology is a very good major."
