Chapter 296 'Death And Decay'
The most painful thing at this time is the publishers. Although the overall strength of the World Club is definitely not as good as that of the three major comic companies, the problem is that Zhao Chen's new comics exist, so how can the sales be bad in this case?
The biggest headache for them is undoubtedly how much energy the three major societies have invested in this bimonthly magazine "coldwinter". If they invest more, the quality may not be better than that of Tianxia Society; but if they invest less, the quality will definitely be different. The most important thing is that it is released on the same day as Tianxia Society. If there is a difference in the quality of the two, then those with poor quality will definitely fail!
No matter how you look at it, this is a headache. If you buy less, if the market demand is too large, wouldn’t it be difficult to get along with the money; but if you buy more and get affected by the other party, you will not only make less money, but may also lose money. Who can tell the situation clearly?
In the distribution department of Tianxia Society, a middle-aged man with a wealthy appearance looked around. He was a big and small publisher, with dozens of bookstores under his jurisdiction, and he stayed here for more than an hour.
"Oh, isn't this the editor-in-chief of Panasonic?" When the rich middle-aged man saw a person, his eyes lit up and he hurried to the person.
"So it's Brother Kumu, why did you come here in person this time?" After seeing the rich middle-aged man, the editor-in-chief of Panasonic felt a little familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered the name.
"This time I just happened to have something to ask for advice in person, but I'm not at ease with the others! Editor-in-chief of Panasonic, are you free now?" The middle-aged man named Ku Mu said carefully, but handed a red envelope to Editor-in-chief of Panasonic without any trace in his right hand.
"Brother Kumu, I can't accept this. If the company finds out, my position as editor will be over. As for the time being, the company has just started a new comic magazine. I've just started a new comic magazine. I'm busy lately. If you have anything, just ask here. I'll have to go to a meeting later!"
Looking at the red envelopes in front of him, it is fake to say that he is not tempted. After all, the editor-in-chief of Tianxia Society is not high, and the higher the rewards are. As long as the cartoonist brought by the editor-in-chief of its subordinates is good, the more bonus he will have, which will prompt Tianxia Society to develop faster.
Unfortunately, most companies will not allow employees who accept money from others. Once they find that the consequences are very serious, because it is likely to be considered to be selling out the interests of the company. Panasonic dare not. He is the editor-in-chief of Tianxia Society, and his position in Tianxia Society is only under a few people. Just as he is with several editors, don’t think that Tianxia Society’s salary is not low. However, the annual bonus and welfare benefits are enough to envy ordinary people.
"This..." Ku Mu took back the red envelope awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment, but for his own interests, he still asked with shameless face: "Editor-in-chief of Panasonic, your club is going to publish a horror comic book publication, which has been a hot topic recently, but you should also know that the three major clubs have founded comic book publications of the same nature, and the most important thing is that your publication was on the same day. I came here specifically today just to ask. I wonder if your club is sure to win?"
The editor-in-chief of Panasonic showed a sarcastic smile instead. He patted the fat man Kumu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Kumu, you are simply nonsense. Although I can't reveal it, you can just be content with one hundred hearts. We will not only win. We can win more excitingly. Then you can wait and see! Okay, I will have a meeting, so I won't be with you."
Seeing the editor-in-chief of Panasonic leave confidently, Boss Kumu stood there and thought about it carefully. A smile turned on his face.
After returning to his company, Boss Kumu immediately changed his original plan. He originally wanted to be more conservative and prepared to purchase the same number of two comics, but now it is different. After thinking about it, he finally cut "coldwinter" by half, and doubled the new horror comic publication released by Tianxia Society.
"When the goods come in, remember to bring me one as fast as possible, especially the one from Tianxia Society, remember!" In order to seize the business opportunity, Boss Kumu immediately accepted the purchase manager.
A few days later, the Tianxia Society and the three major associations jointly launched new horror comic publications to major purchasers. This time was well controlled. When these publications arrived, it was already very late and they could only wait for tomorrow to sell them to major comic fans. As for whether they would sell them in the middle of the night, it could only depend on their ability. Anyway, everyone turned a blind eye. After all, it was a skill to be able to sell in the middle of the night.
In order to avoid the boss' dissatisfaction, Kumu's secretary can be said to be the first to pick up the goods to the World Club. After receiving the goods, it was already eleven o'clock that night. However, the secretary still took out the samples and sent them to Kumu's boss's house as quickly as possible. After being a secretary for so many years, she knew very well that some things must be done to do her best, otherwise you would regret it.
"You did a good job!" Boss Kumu didn't sleep. He was waiting to see the finished product. Although he was not a comic fan, he had read countless novels and comics.
"Deathandecay, this is the new horror publication of the World Club. The meaning of the name of this publication is very similar to the type. I just don't know if it is as good as Editor-in-Chief Panasonic said!"
Boss Kumu did not ask the secretary to leave immediately, because he was afraid that there would be other things he needed to help after reading them. Instead, after taking the two publications, he directly took out the Tianxia Society.
The cover of "deathandecay" is also extremely exquisite, with three characters standing side by side in the middle, accounting for half of the entire cover, while the rest half is occupied by many characters.
Among the three, the middle is Yuki Natsuno with purple-blue hair, with a cold and resolute expression; on the left is Izumi Shinichi wearing glasses and a gentle pair of elegant Izumi; on the right is Tooe with gorgeous appearance and enchanting figure. The three protagonists can be said to have their own characteristics.
In addition to the three people in the middle, in addition to the protagonists of the other comics, there are also some main supporting roles in these three comics. Perhaps in order to attract the attention of comic fans, these supporting roles are basically beautiful and handsome guys, among which the most beautiful characters are "Ghost".
"It seems that there are three main comics. The man in the middle must be the male protagonist of Master Zhao Chen's comics!"
The boss of Kurt is looking positive, there is nothing to guess. Among a new comic publication, the most prominent part of the cover is often the most famous cartoonist. As the most influential comic master, Zhao Chen appeared in this new comic publication, which was simply bullying children and his fame was incomparable.
Boss Dead Wood opened the comic catalog, which listed the names and author names of the major comics. When he saw the first one, Zhao Chen's "Ghost", there was no surprise on his face. But when he saw "Parasite Beast" in the middle, he saw Zhao Chen's name appearing on the paper, and his hands were a little trembling. Although there was a cartoonist's name next to him, he subconsciously forgot it.
"Editor-in-chief of Panasonic did not lie to me. He actually has two works by Master Zhao Chen. It seems that the purchase of the goods this time was the right one!"
Boss Kurtou did not read the comic immediately, but showed a smug expression on his face. He pretended to be elegant and picked up the teacup to take a sip. However, he did not expect that the secretary next to him interjected at this time: "Boss, there are actually three articles!"
His hand shook, and the cup did not hold it, and it hit the ground with a slam. The secretary next to him was startled and thought he had said something he shouldn't have said.
"Three articles, really three articles!" Boss Kumu did not speak, but immediately scanned the directory. When he saw the author's name at the end of the directory, his eyes immediately widened.
"Okay! Oops, call the marketing manager immediately and ask him to go to the company to send orders to the World Club now!"
“How many items are ordered?”
"Just like the goods we got today, how hard you can do it!"
"Okay, I'll do it now!" The secretary just hesitated for a moment, and then immediately called. The hesitation just now was undoubtedly subconscious, but when he thought that there were three works by Master Zhao Chen, it was undoubtedly a huge booster. He also knew very well in his heart that other purchasers might have discovered that the earlier the time, the better.
When the secretary called, Boss Kumu turned to watch. Although he was not a fan of Zhao Chen's comics, he also knew that Zhao Chen's works were exquisite and were sold well in every part, and his works were often better substituted.
The three works account for three major color pages, which are the so-called first color, the biggest color and the last color, which are used to distinguish the difference from ordinary comics and to increase the excellence of the comics.
