Chapter Twenty-Eight: "Detective Conan" is released

September 11th

"Xiao Yu, breakfast is ready!"

When the screams came from the living room, Meng Shu was brushing his teeth in the bathroom.

He rubbed his eyelids in the mirror while brushing his teeth, and he didn't know if it was a hallucination, he felt as if he had dark circles under his eyes.

After washing, Meng Shu returned to the living room with worries.

"Mom, do I have dark circles under my eyes?"

Li Qin was stunned for a moment, and looked at his face carefully: "No, you are wrong." ”

Meng Shu sat down to eat breakfast with confidence, he didn't want to have dark circles under his eyes at a young age.

"Small gains." Pouring a glass of milk for Meng Shu, Li Qin opened his mouth and asked, "Today is the day when the comics are released, do you want to buy a copy?" ”

"Nope." There was a bowl of noodles on the table, and Meng Shu picked up the noodles with chopsticks: "The editorial department will send a few copies, so we don't have to buy them ourselves." ”

He ate noodles happily, even if he really published his own comic book on sale, Phoenix Company would prepare a few copies for him, and Meng Shu also sent a message last night saying that he would give Shen Jie a copy.

The female student replied very happily: "It just so happens that I have no money, and I will pay you back the single book next time." ”

But every time a single book is issued, Meng Shu will have a few copies, why do you need Shen Jie to send it?

"So Alice will be here in the morning?"

Li Qin sat next to Meng Shu and ate noodles, thinking of that sister: "She has been busy with your comics recently, and she should be able to be quieter after this release." ”

Alice and Meng Shu were very busy for a while, and Li Qin was very worried.

She suddenly thought again: "Xiao Yu, how much do you think a single line can be sold, and how much money can it make?" ”

"Well, if you go all over the country, you should be able to sell it for a million, right?"

Meng Shu didn't want to frighten Li Qin, so he was cautious in his words: "My royalties are very high, but I still have to deduct taxes, and it is estimated that I can get more than two million!" ”

The biggest preferential treatment given by Phoenix to Meng was the 10% royalty, and there was nothing wrong with his calculation method. However, there is a big loophole in the quantity, and the first printing of "Detective Conan" exceeded one million copies, and the final sales will definitely be more.

However, Li Qin was still frightened.

"Two, more than two million......" She almost couldn't catch chopsticks, what is the concept of more than two million? This money is enough for their mother and son to buy a house in Ninghai City, and it is a one-time payment!

After buying a house, they are completely Ninghai people, and if they say it, it is estimated that Li Qin's brothers and sisters will faint.

"Xiaoyu, don't spend money indiscriminately!"

Li Qin suddenly remembered a sentence, a man becomes bad when he is rich, and she can't rest assured: "What money you want to use in the future, you must tell your mother!" ”

Meng Shu turned his head to look at her and smiled.

"Okay, Mom, don't worry."

He doesn't gamble, he doesn't have any hobbies, and he won't do anything to make Li Qin sad.

In the morning, Alice came over with a couple of books, and with her, there was also the delivery man.

"You bought a treadmill?"

Alice looked at the delivery man who carefully moved the treadmill into the house, and her face was full of surprise: "How much?" ”

"Six thousand, for families." Meng Shu brought Alice into the study and asked Li Qin to help debug the treadmill outside: "Did you bring a single book?" ”

Alice took out the single book of "Detective Conan" from her shoulder bag, and as soon as she appeared, Meng Shu's eyes lit up, and the cover of the single book was the same as the subway poster, which was the picture of the hero and heroine together.

"You're really good at business."

Meng Shu was very satisfied, it turned out that the poster still had this kind of use, I don't know if Ye Xiong had already planned it.

"And that's not all!"

Alice laughed, and she turned to the last page: "What do you think this is?" ”

"It's ......"

Meng Shu was taken aback again, he saw a beautiful maple leaf bookmark, and the picture on it was Kidd, a strange thief.

"We bookmarked those three pictures of yours and randomly placed them on the last page of each book, so we dragged them until today's release." Alice took out different bookmarks from the other books, each of which was very delicate: "It's a pity that the bookmark is too small to show the mood of the picture." ”

That being said, but Alice is still a little proud, these bookmarks are very well done and will definitely surprise the reader.

Meng was full of praise for the bookmark, and the quality of the single book was also good, the publishing house did not cut corners, and 30 yuan was a good deal.

"That's right, Meng Shu."

Alice hesitated for a moment, but still said: ""Detective Sherlock" has a high sales volume, and 700,000 copies were sold in Ninghai alone yesterday, and the editor-in-chief hopes that you will not be discouraged." ”

"700,000 copies in Ninghai City?" Meng Huo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It seems that I underestimated the market, the first printing of "Detective Conan" is 1.5 million copies, I think you should reprint it immediately." ”

Alice was stunned.

"Do you think 'Detective Conan' will surpass 'Sherlock'?" She swallowed: "This is what you think?" ”

Meng Shu smiled faintly.

"I used to be the rival of the Sherlock novel......"

If Mach could depict that novel vividly, Meng Xu might not have the confidence to win, but he was disappointed when he read the comic book.

————

The front of Qingyuan Book City is still crowded, yesterday's sales champion "Sherlock" is still in front today, and next to it is "Detective Conan", which was just released today.

"This uncle, are you going to buy this?"

An old man on crutches walked over slowly, the book sales lady's eyes lit up, and seeing that the customer's age was obviously a fan of "Sherlock", she quickly picked up the book and handed it over.

"I don't want this ......" However, surprisingly, the old man reached out and pushed away "Sherlock", turned around and walked towards "Detective Conan": "That's it, I've seen this picture on the subway and the bus, how much is this book?" ”

The book seller was stunned.

He Qian took advantage of the rest time to read a book, and her mobile phone suddenly rang, and she took it out and saw that it was a text message.

"Miss He Qian, I'm Teacher Mach, what time do you get off work today?"

The content of the text message made her frown slightly, the dead otaku yesterday turned out to be mach, but who leaked her mobile phone number?

She thought for a moment, then replied.

"Half past six."

It was five o'clock after work, He Qian coldly covered her mobile phone, and continued to open "Detective Conan" to watch.

"That idiot actually painted "Sherlock" like that, I really think I am amazing!"

He Qian, who is deeply refined in comics, can see that "Sherlock", as a representative of orthodox mystery novels, has a charm of suspense and tension throughout the whole book, but Mach's drawing is too clear, attracting the reader's eyes to the appearance of the characters, and there is no atmosphere like the original book at all.

Ordinary people don't know what to do, but He Qian sighed in her heart, and drew the cold story into a girl's comic......
