Chapter 442: Sale
On November 14, "Weekly Gemini (Month)" was sold.
This magazine does not have the channel of Zhongxia Bookstore, but thanks to the rapid development of Phoenix Company in recent years, the sales of "Weekly Twin Girls (Monthly)" have surpassed those of "Weekly Girl" three years ago, and it is also among the best in the current girl's comic magazine. And the biggest difference between it and "Weekly Girl" is the place of sale, its main place of sale is in the Far East.
In Hokkaido, a manga shop has just opened next to the ramen shop of the Takashima family. This manga shop was founded by several young manga lovers at the instigation of Kako Takashima, whose parents were the vice president of Sakura Corporation, and it was easy to restock.
Today is the first day of opening, and the young partners were so busy receiving and placing comics last night that they barely slept all night. The members who were originally scheduled to take a break in shifts also chose to help because of their nervousness and uneasiness.
"It's the first time you do business, so you can go along with it"
"I've invested all my savings since I was a child, what if I lose it?"
Half of these young people are students like Kako Takashima, and they start a business on the spur of the moment when they start a business.
The manga shop is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., but at 6:3o, these nervous young people decided to open first - half an hour in the morning, and maybe sell a few more comics!
"I'll open the door!"
Rei Kanai volunteered, she walked to the door with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and then slowly pulled the roller shutter door higher, but it was less than half a meter high. Kanai Li seemed to hear something. She stopped suddenly, then crouched down and looked outside, then. She was stunned.
"Rei-chan, what's wrong?"
A girl nervously asked, is something wrong?
"Ahh
Jin Jingli reacted, then got up, turned her head with a happy expression and said, "There are more than a dozen people outside!" â
The others in the comic shop were stunned.
"No, it won't!"
The two boys ran over excitedly and helped open the roller shutter door.
As soon as the door opened, the outside world was revealed. There was a thin mist wafting through the streets, but this did not prevent a few young people from seeing the crowd standing in front of the manga shop.
More than a dozen women stood outside. The women range in age from junior high school girls in sportswear who seem to be on morning fun, to women in professional attire who seem to be going to work, to homemakers with dogs and baskets. When the women saw the comic shop open, they all walked towards the store.
"Is the newly opened manga store here fast to stock? Has today's "Weekly Gemini (Monthly)" arrived? â
"Why don't you regret that the teacher's new work is serialized in "Weekly Twins"!?"
The women asked as soon as they entered the door, and Jin Jingli and the others were stunned. Then he immediately smiled.
"Yes, "Weekly Gemini" arrived last night, please come here!"
"Xiao Xun, go to the counter and help check out!"
The comic shop started to get busy, and the young people of the comic shop were very happy, they had no money to advertise, and no one expected so many customers to come on the first day of opening.
Kako Takashima breathed a sigh of relief that her current customers seemed to be buying Weekly Twins (Monthly), so she went to the manga store and brought out more magazines. But the magazine just moved out. Another group of guests came outside, and Kako Takashima had to move a new magazine with a companion.
"I didn't expect Weekly Twins to be so popular, Phoenix has four magazines a week, plus single books and other comics. Kako, it looks like we're going to get rich! â
The boy who moved the magazine with her said, Kako Takashima smiled slightly, she didn't know if she was rich or not, but she was sure that she wouldn't lose.
"Mengjun is really powerful, and the new work is popular!"
Kako Takashima remembered that person again. She sighed inwardly, and then bent down to pick up the magazine.
Far Eastern. Such a newly opened comic shop has been influenced by He Xi's new work, and those old comic shops are naturally surrounded by women early in the morning.
In this area across the sea from Big 6, Phoenix has long monopolized all the comic market, and everyone who reads comics knows what it is a pity, and "Gundam Color ED" has added millions of female fans to him. The density of these female fans has even passed through China, where there is the largest group of 'female fans' in the world.
In the Far East, there are women close to the seventh floor who follow the custom of giving up their jobs after marriage and choosing to stay at home and raise children, which brings about a greater pursuit of women's entertainment. Family dramas, idol dramas, as well as women's novels and comics are all popular here, and half of the total sales of each issue of Weekly Gemini (Monthly) come from the Far East.
But correspondingly, "Weekly Gemini (Monthly)" is not popular in China.
Its sales in Huaxia 6 are far less than that of "Weekly Girl", nor is it as good as Zhongxia Company's girl's magazine. The Far East sales of Weekly Girl were 25 percent, and all of the manga magazines of the Zhongxia Company were not selling well in the Far East - so whether Dragon and Tiger would succeed and what kind of confrontation it would have with Angel's new comics depended on sales outside the Far East.
The reporters' eyes were fixed on Ninghai, the city where the contradictions were most prominent.
The city is a battleground for the comic book industry, and has been the center of the struggle between the Phoenix Company and the Zhongxia Company for many years. This year, Phoenix Company relocated to Suhua, but the influence of He Xi is still deeply rooted in the city, and what kind of scene will be brought by the simultaneous launch of the two comics, all the media want to know.
"Phoenix vs. Zhongxia, He Xi vs. Angel There will be a dragon battle today, just like the name of Teacher He Xi's new work!"
"Dragon and Tiger" -- a lot of journalists have the same idea, they can use the name of this cartoon as tomorrow's newspaper headline. 'Who is the dragon and who is the tiger' is actually not important, and there is almost no suspense, "Midsummer Daily" will not lose to "Weekly Twin (Month)" no matter what, the key today is not the victory or defeat of the manga, but the popularity of "Weekly Twin (Month)"!
Why can't you create the miracle of ZĂ o's past? Whether the 'Angel' can create a perfect suppressive effect on He Xi in the comics, and then use it to win the time for "Flame Boy" to win, depends on the situation today.
Early in the morning of the 14th, before dawn, a number of TV stations, newspapers and news websites were neatly dispatched.
Several key areas and bookstores in Ninghai City were occupied by reporters before readers arrived. (To be continued)
ps: There are two more shifts in the evening
