441 It's also a shame to buy magazines
Kojima Yuo suddenly made a phone call late at night, and said in the tone of a hot-blooded young man that he would "hang on for his life", which made Qin Han scratch his head.
But hot-blooded youth, he doesn't hate it. It's better to be active in your work than to be lazy and unmotivated and ignore the needs of cartoonists.
Qin Han believed that "Pretty Girl of Light HC" would be a success, but he didn't think about competing with "Sailor Moon" or defeating the other party or anything.
After all, in another world, this comic can be said to be a memory of his childhood. Qin Han not only entered the house because of this, but also married the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth two-dimensional wives.
After listening to Qin Han's words, Kojima Yuo suddenly realized that he was over-blooded and lost his words.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Qin Han, I drank some wine just now and lost my words." Yuo Kojima said apologetically, "Please give me more advice about manga matters in the future." ”
"Please advise. By the way, did you encounter something tonight, Kojima? ”
"No, no, nothing." Yuo Kojima hurriedly denied it. He felt that there was no point in bringing out the of Koji Muta.
"Good, good night."
"Good night, I'm so late to bother."
Hanging up the phone, Yuo Kojima looked at the night sky where he couldn't see a single star because of light pollution, and suddenly a fighting spirit surged from the bottom of his heart.
…………
Time passed quite quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was December 20th.
It was Wednesday.
At the Lawson convenience store near Shibuya Station on the Yamanote Line, manager Hiroshi Yamauchi is busy early in the morning.
Boxes of freshly baked magazines were brought into the store, and in the early morning of this cold winter, Hiroshi Yamauchi and the other two clerks were sweating profusely and sweating profusely, and a trace of white mist evaporated from their bodies.
"Alas, today is the day when "Weekly Shonen Sunday" and "Weekly Shonen Magazine" are on the market, and there are a lot of magazines, which is exhausting. You say, why are there such interesting mystery comics as "Detective Conan" and "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book"? ”
"yes, these two comics were released on the same day, which is exhausting to us. Fortunately, it is enough to be tired today, and tomorrow should be a lot easier. ”
After the two clerks finished their work, they chatted while resting.
One of the older graders heard his companion's words and immediately sneered: "New here, you think beautifully!" Will tomorrow be easy? Did you know that tomorrow is the day when the new issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" will be released? ”
"I see."
"The sales of Weekly Shonen Jump are basically equal to the sales of Weekly Shonen Sunday and Weekly Shonen Magazine. And recently, because of the popularity of "Midfield Core", sales continue to rise. ”
"Hey, have you two rested enough? Come and put these new items on the shelves. Hiroshi Yamauchi greeted.
The two clerks walked over and found that it was some anime-related goods, such as a towel with a cute witch lady printed on it, or a key pendant for a silver-haired maid.
"When did our convenience store start selling these things? Anime peripherals, shouldn't they be in Akihabara? ”
Hiroshi Yamauchi explained, "This is an exclusive product launched by a game called Oriental Gensokyo Monogatari, a collaboration with our Lawson convenience store. ”
"Oriental Gensokyo Story? Haven't heard of it. All I know is Mario. The older clerk touched his head.
"Uncle, you're not a player, of course you don't know. That game, which was released in February last year, has now sold more than 7 million worldwide! In Dongying alone, sales reached 1.3 million sets! ”
"Is it really that powerful?" Although the older clerk doesn't understand games, he still knows that it is definitely a great achievement for an entertainment product to sell one million copies in Dongying, "Doesn't that mean that our Lawson can increase its turnover a lot because of the launch of these exclusive products?" ”
Hiroshi Yamauchi looked at the crowd on the street: "I hope so." It is the new strategy of our group to cooperate with major magazines, animation and game clubs to launch exclusive peripheral products. I've heard that it's called a 'two-dimensional project' or something. ”
"Now that the homebody group is getting bigger and bigger, it is really time to develop new products for them......
Hiroshi Yamauchi also has high hopes for these new game merchandise on the shelves. Whether his store can become the sales champion of this year's All-East Ying Lawson convenience store depends on Christmas and these game peripherals.
"There are a lot of students and young people who pass by every day, so these neighborhoods should be easy to sell......
As he thought this, the first customer walked into the convenience store.
"Welcome." Hiroshi Yamauchi greeted loudly.
However, he was a little disappointed to see that the guest was a slightly chubby man.
"It seems to be an office worker who buys breakfast, and I thought I would be able to sell my first game merchandise soon. Alas, I don't know if these peripherals are good or not......"
A slightly chubby, man in his thirties, walked around the magazine area, looking left and right, hesitating, as if he wanted to buy but didn't dare to buy.
Hiroshi Yamauchi has been a convenience store salesman for more than ten years, and although he now runs a Lawson, he also worked at FamilyMart and 711. He knew what this kind of guest wandering in the magazine section wanted to do.
He walked over and said cautiously, "This guest, I'm sorry, we don't sell adult magazines here......"
Many convenience stores in Dongying will set aside a special area for adult goods to sell R18 magazines and other things, and some convenience stores are not so particular, and directly put adult magazines and general magazine comics in the same area to sell. However, Yamauchi does not sell such goods in his own store.
While this can attract some male customers, it can easily drive away female customers, especially those with children.
It's also a trade-off.
Who knew that the slightly chubby guest shook his head and said with a red face: "No, you misunderstood." I didn't come for those magazines. I just wanted to buy a copy of Flowers and Dreams. ”
"Flowers and Dreams? Isn't that a shoujo manga magazine? The main audience is girls below high school! ”
Hiroshi Yamauchi was surprised for a while, then glanced thoughtfully at the chubby customer, and thought, "Well, from a certain point of view, it is indeed a more shameful thing for an office worker in his thirties to buy a girl's manga magazine than to buy an adult magazine......"
Of course, for businessmen, it doesn't matter what the other party buys, as long as they make money.
So Hiroshi Yamauchi enthusiastically took out the just-published "Flowers and Dreams" on the shelf, handed it to the chubby guest, and asked very intimately: "This guest, do you need to package it?" ”
