Pokemon is scheduled to go on sale on April 25, but in the first three days of its official release, it has already sold more than two million copies in pre-order.

These two million copies sold do not include the purchase of distributors, which is the number of real player reservations, and after Longquan Company announced this number, the entire Chinese press industry was boiling, and the game industry even sounded a cry of "wolf is coming".

"That's a lot of reservations!" "Why don't you sell games or pick up money!?" Even some news reporters couldn't understand this sales achievement, and questioned Longquan's fraud: "These sales must be fakes, and the number of pre-sales of two million will not be easily reached even by game masterpieces that cost hundreds of millions!" ”

However, Longquan Company quickly came up with the figures of a third-party statistical agency to prove that their pre-sale sales were not fake, and then the media industry was completely sensational.

Pokemon has broken several records, it is the highest-pre-sold handheld game ever, the hottest animated adaptation, and the most talked about game in the spring.

The most popular newspaper in East China, "East China Weekly News", even used its entire front page to praise He Xi, it wrote: "As the saying goes, there are three fires for new officials to take office, but the flames continue after He takes office." Since Phoenix revealed before the Spring Festival that the young cartoonist was about to become the company's second-in-command, countless people have been speculating about where Phoenix will go, but no matter how optimistic people are, they have never thought of it. This teenager, who has just turned eighteen years old, has been in office for less than three months, and he has been shocked again and again. ”

"In February of this year. He regrets announcing the expansion of Phoenix's weekly comic book from two to four, and at the same time, "Pity" comics are sold again. This decision changed the entire comic map of China. The number of cartoonists under Phoenix has grown steadily, and after the pain of transformation, the sales of four weekly magazines of Phoenix Company have been successful all the way this month............"

The newspapers listed all the moves He Xi made from February to April, adding Comic Book Weekly, the new comic "Shana the Burning Eye", the carnival on Manga Island, the game release of "Pokemon", and the possible animation of "Detective Conan" next month, He Xi did so much in just three months, which is very incredible for a company.

Corporate decisions are generally long and deliberate, and few companies make big news for months on end. Therefore, in the eyes of China's business circles, this year's Phoenix Company is simply like drinking stimulants and rushing forward, so fast that not to mention wanting to follow, even looking at it will be dazzling.

However, with such a rapid development speed, Phoenix Company still gives people a feeling of stability like Mount Tai, the three branches have an orderly division of labor, the employees are highly motivated, the head office is running well, and the business has not been affected by the development. See this scene. No matter how elm-headed a person is, he can't help but sigh at this time: "I didn't expect that he was still a business genius!" ”

Manga genius, animation genius, music genius, game genius...... There are too many halos of genius that have been added to He Xi, but there has never been one that has made the world more feared than 'business genius'. Of course, in addition to fear, there are regrets and regrets......

Zhongxia Company is the most regrettable and regretful person. After seeing the rapid development of Phoenix Company, the capitalists behind Zhongxia began to feel distressed - they knew that they still had such an outstanding talent for business, even if they gave him a part of the shares? At the beginning, as long as Zhongxia was willing to sacrifice interests. It's not difficult to buy Phoenix or get it.

If it is a pity to belong to the middle of summer, then two years down. The Chinese comic industry has long been monopolized by Zhongxia. It's a pity that now, the capitalists can only swallow the bitter fruit of short-term profits.

"What a pity for Huaxia to come out. How many young people have been overshadowed! Ning Hai, the editor-in-chief of the comic column of China's largest news website, Zhou Qing looked at the two reports in his hand with a sigh on his face, and sighed: "Whether the times create heroes, or heroes create the times - this answer is needless to say." ”

Four years, no, it's not four years yet......

Zhou Qing witnessed He Xi's growth, he noticed this cartoonist when "Detective Conan" was just popular, but he never thought that in just over three years, He Xi would grow to such a point.

"The pre-sale of Pokemon exceeded two million, which is more than the total circulation of Weekly Shonen that year!" He shook his head, it was terrible, in just three years, he not only created himself, but also increased the various businesses of Phoenix Company more than ten times.

"Editor-in-chief, should we prepare a feature on Pokemon?" The deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department said, "Pokemon is a game, but it has the same origin as Pokemon, and it's getting a lot of attention right now, so I think we should be able to do a feature when it goes on sale." ”

Zhou Qing groaned slightly, the company has a special game news channel, and he was thinking about whether it was appropriate to grab business like this.

"How much attention does comic book readers pay to Pokemon?" He asked, looking up.

"Very high." The deputy editor nodded and replied: "Readers who like manga have always paid great attention to the news of Mr. Ho, and the original book of "Pokemon" is a popular anime, and readers who like "Pokemon" will pay attention to this game. ”

"Then do it!"

Zhou Qing made a decision, since comic book readers pay attention to "Pokemon", it is no problem to put this news in the comic column. These months have been a period of rapid growth for Phoenix, but it is also a prime time for their comic news editors to have a lot of topics and easy bonuses.

In particular, "Pokemon" and "Detective Conan" are both popular masterpieces, and their new copyright use has made the market very optimistic, and there are many people who pay attention to it.

On April 25th, "Pokemon" was officially released, and before dawn in the morning, Zhou Qing got up and rushed to the editorial office, and kept calling his subordinates on the way to ask them to collect first-hand news materials before going to work.

They are not the only media that are so active, many reporters from all over China have their eyes on this day and set off early to collect materials. However, no one expected that there would be a strict traffic jam in the big cities of China, and at dawn, the traffic on the streets would reach the level of rush hour. (To be continued......)
