Chapter 43: 500,000 copies
After a month of hard work, Ren Fei finally got the first draft of the magazine before the one-month deadline.
100,000 copies have been printed, and 400,000 more are being printed in the printing plant.
That's right, Ren Fei plans to print 500,000 copies of this first edition of the magazine.
If it weren't for Chen Tianhong holding him down, saying that the company had insufficient funds and wouldn't let him print so much, Ren Fei would still plan to print it for 1.8 million.
Well, in fact, Ren Fei printed 500,000 magazines, and Chen Tianhong was also worried.
You must know that ACG has a total of 10 million registered capital, and Chen Tianhong, as a proud person, does not want this company to be injected by shareholders just over a month after it has been opened, which will cast an indelible shadow on her resume.
Originally, she planned to print 100,000 copies of the first edition, after all, a new magazine, even if it is a comic magazine that is already very popular on the Internet, can not be expected to sell well.
The fact that there are many people on the Internet does not necessarily mean that the sales of comic magazines can be so good in reality.
After all, the main reason why the comic network can attract so many people to watch it is because it doesn't cost money, so some passers-by who play soy sauce will go in and have a look.
However, if you want to spend real money to buy a comic magazine in reality, then you can imagine that there will be many people who are not willing to pay for it.
Even Ren Fei priced this magazine, which cost 8 yuan, to 10 yuan, of which 1 yuan was given to those newspaper stalls and bookstores, which means that each magazine sold could only earn 1 yuan.
If you deduct Kishimoto, Li Hui, and other employees in the company, then Ren Fei can't earn 1 cent for a magazine.
It can be said that if the second yuan just runs a comic club, Ren Fei will definitely starve to death.
"By the way, teacher, when did you come up with the website, why do you have to tell my friend to tell me, only to know that our comics have appeared on the Internet, so that I almost thought that we had commercial spies here. ”
Looking at Ren Fei, Huang Liya remembered that when she was shopping with her friends a few days ago, when she heard them talk about the plot in "Naruto", she looked confused, and asked them stupidly, but she didn't want to be ridiculed by them, saying that she was not trendy at all, and she didn't even know the latest and trendiest comics on the Internet recently.
So Huang Liya immediately took out her mobile phone and found out the two-dimensional comic network on the Internet, only to know that their comic club actually had a website.
Later, after returning to the comic club, she told the others about it.
When she saw that the others, especially Kishimoto, had shocked expressions on their faces, she was a little less angry, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but fortunately they didn't know.
After everyone discussed, Ren Fei was the most likely candidate to do this.
When Ren Fei saw that all of them poured into the office and questioned him about the comic network, he remembered that he didn't seem to have told them about it.
However, in order to prevent their mood from fluctuating and affecting the final sprint of the magazine, Ren Fei did not tell them the details at that time.
Now the magazine now that everything is done.
Therefore, at this time, when Huang Liya asked again in the conference room, Ren Fei couldn't hide it anymore.
"Oh, this is what I did for a long time in the morning and dark with the head of software research and development, and it was already ready to be put online half a month ago. ”
It just so happens that now that the magazine's affairs are done, Ren Fei also has time to chat with them.
"I said Teacher Ren, you have been here more than half a month ago, why did you only tell us now?" Seeing Ren Fei's nonchalant look, Li Hui suddenly felt a nameless fire ignite from his heart.
"Well, I, I'm not here to not affect your emotions, if I let you know about the website, don't you go there every day, do you still have the heart to work? ”
Well, as he spoke, Ren Fei almost believed it.
"Really?" Listening to Ren Fei's words, Qinghua suddenly became expressionless, tilting her head to look at Ren Fei.
"Yes, teacher, this kind of thing should be told to us as soon as possible, even if you don't tell them, you have to tell me, have you forgotten that I'm a computer master, I can help you look at the website, by the way, teacher, do you have the code of the website, or the background, give me an administrator account." ”
Gao Junming said with interest.
"By the way, teacher, why is there only Kishimoto's comics on the site now?,Obviously, we also drew a lot.,Why don't you put it up.。 Even Hua Qingyue on the side followed suit.
"Well, I don't know if my parents knew that my comics were put on the Internet and seen by so many people. Kishimoto said embarrassedly.
When he knew that his comics were put on the Internet and known by many people, he felt a little nervous in addition to being extremely excited.
The main reason for his apprehension was that his paintings were put on the Internet by Ren Fei before he was mentally prepared, and he was not ready to publish his paintings to others, so he was inevitably uneasy about how they would comment on his cartoons for a while.
However, when he saw that the topics in the discussion forum that commented on his cartoons still accounted for most of the praise, he was relieved in his heart, and said secretly, "It seems that I didn't disgrace the teacher." ”
Although Kishimoto has grown a lot during this time, it still can't change the fact that he is still a 17 or 8 teenager, and his skin can't be as thick as Ren Fei.
So now, when I hear Li Hui and the others talk about the website, when they think of being praised by so many people on the Internet, their faces can't help but turn red and become shy.
"Kishimoto, you're happy, the whole website is just your own comics, you're famous, it seems that we're going to call you a great painter in the future. Hearing Kishimoto's words, Huang Liya on the side couldn't help but quip.
"Yes, yes, great painter, sign me. Pushing his glasses, Gao Junming followed Huang Liya's words and said.
Seeing that Anben was about to be ridiculed by Huang Liya and the others, Ren Fei couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, get down to business." ”
After stopping Huang Liya and Li Hui and ridiculing Kishimoto, Ren Feicai continued, "Although the first edition of the magazine has been done now, we can't relax our work in the future, and we have to work harder." ”
"However, in recent times, everyone has worked hard to catch up with the draft, especially Kishimoto, in order to draw a 10-word comic, it took more than 10 days all night, and Li Hui, Huang Liya, Gao Junming, Qinghua, Hua Qingyue, you not only have to help Kishimoto draw comics, but also draw short comics yourself, and I know that you are really hard. ”
Saying that, Ren Fei stood up and waved his hand, looking very atmospheric, "So, in order to thank you for your efforts, I announce that in the next week, the comic club will be closed, and each person will be given a bonus of 2,000 yuan." ”
"yes, that's great. Huang Liya.
"I can finally rest, I'm going to be exhausted during this time. Li Hui.
"Haha, I'm going to go shopping this time. "Hua Qingyue.
"Still, I want to have access to the site. "Gao Junming.
"I also have time to study the manga," said Aoka.
"Hehe~~~" Kishimoto.
"But before that... ”
Saying that, Ren Fei clapped his hands, "Okay, let's go back and rest today, and wait until tomorrow morning, I will sit here to welcome the first day of the release of our magazine, and witness the important step taken by our two-dimensional comic club, you must come." ”
With a wave of his hand, Ren Fei's face was excited.
"Oye, it's time to get off work. ”
"I'm leaving, I'm going to go home and sleep. ”
"Then I'll go back to painting. ”
"Gone, gone. ”
But in the face of Ren Fei's enthusiasm, Li Hui and Huang Liya did not empathize at all, but seemed to be liberated, and got up and walked out of the conference room one after another.
“•••”
With a glance, only Ren Fei and Kishimoto were left in the entire conference room for a while.
"Good thing you're here, Kishimoto. Looking at Kishimoto, Ren Fei couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder with relief.
"Well, teacher, that's right, I'm going to go home tomorrow. ”
Looking at Ren Fei, Kishimoto suddenly became embarrassed.
"Yes, that's right. Hearing that Kishimoto stayed to ask for leave, Ren Fei couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and then slapped his right hand heavily on Kishimoto's shoulder, "Can't you stay and witness the glorious moment of our comic club with me before leaving?"
"Teacher, I don't think anyone else will come back tomorrow except you. ”
Kishimoto reminded with an embarrassed expression.
"What do you mean? Could it be that they will be absent from work collectively tomorrow?" Ren Fei didn't understand Kishimoto's meaning for a while.
"Well, just now you said that you will have a week off, so of course it will start tomorrow, and if they don't come, it won't be considered absenteeism. Wiping the illusion from his forehead, Kishimoto said.
"I'll go, didn't I say that I will only have a week off from the day after tomorrow?" Hearing Kishimoto's words, Ren Fei was taken aback.
"Didn't say it. Kishimoto looked at Ren Fei and shook his head helplessly.
"Well, well, forget it, let me witness this moment myself. ”
Waving his hand, Ren Fei sat down in his chair with a frustrated expression.
"Teacher, what about me," Kishimoto asked worriedly.
Looking at Kishimoto, Ren Fei suddenly exhaled heavily, shook his head and stood up, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and said: "Go back, you've been out for so long, your parents should be very worried about you, and now that your paintings have become famous on the Internet, I don't think your parents should object to you learning to draw anymore." ”
"Hmm. Kishimoto nodded.
"Okay, you can go back and rest for a while, and I'll have someone send you back tomorrow." ”
Patting Kishimoto on the shoulder, Ren Fei said.
