Chapter 85: The only constant is change
Chapter 85: The only constant is change
"Brother Xu, what do you say!, should we continue to go down!" Zhao Ming retracted his gaze to Xu Hong's body again.
"That's right, although we drew a cow this time, it can be regarded as a cow. But we can't just focus on the cow, my business idea is one word 'change'. Only by constantly changing the style of old paintings can we maintain the freshness and vitality of the pictorial.
There is a saying, it is called keeping pace with the times, we start a pictorial is also like this, we can't keep eating the old book, see that this theme is good, just use such a theme in every issue, then it will be like "Tiannan Pictorial", slowly going downhill!
Our only constant business philosophy is 'change'. We must change, and we must keep changing, using the word 'change' to occupy the market, lead the fashion, and achieve the dream. ”
Xu Hong disagreed with Zhao Ming's opinion, and said that he would continue to change!
"Ah, Brother Xu, you still have to change! In that issue, what tricks are you going to change! If you don't draw cows, what are you going to paint!"
As soon as Zhang Ze heard Xu Hong say that he was no longer painting the same subject matter and works, he asked incomprehensibly, wondering what kind of subject Xu Hong was going to paint!
"Brother Xu, I don't think it's better to draw a pig! This thing is a pig, how cute it is to be fat and fat! Just draw a big fat pig on the homepage of the next issue of "New Star Art Garden", it will definitely attract people's attention!"
The fat man is a person who can say whatever he wants, and as soon as he heard Xu Hong say that he was going to choose a new subject again, he began to talk nonsense again.
"What, draw a pig! Fat man, I think the best looks like a pig, so you say you want to draw a pig, don't you? Do you think that the "Tiannan Pictorial" is not thunderous enough! You want to get a 'landmine' and put it on the front page, so as to blow up the reader's jaws! You have come up with such a bad idea, I really don't know how you got to the Academy of Fine Arts in the past three years, who has ever heard of a painter who paints pigs!"
As soon as Zhang Ze heard the fat man's thunderous idea, he began to laugh at the fat man.
"Zhang Ze, if you don't draw a pig, draw a monkey! Strip your clothes naked, and then draw a bare-ass monkey, it is estimated that the 'ratings' will be quite high." The fat man saw Zhang Ze scolding him, and he was naturally not polite.
", can you two stop for a while, and listen to what Brother Xu has to say!" Zhao Ming saw that the fat man and Zhang Ze were arguing again, so he began to train them again.
"That's right, Zhao Ming, now let me tell me what the next issue of "New Star Art Garden" will mainly paint, I really can't remember. I'll have to wait until I get inspired!"
Although Xu Hong wanted to ask for a change, he really didn't pay much attention to what kind of paintings he needed for the next issue!
"It doesn't matter, then let's wait a few more days! Anyway, this cow has made a lot of money for us!" Zhao Ming actually wanted to continue to use the theme of 'cow'! It's just that he was used to listening to Xu Hong, so he didn't object.
"Well, that's it, let's think about the sales of the pictorial first! No matter how good the painting is, it will be useless if it can't be sold!" Xu Hong sat at his desk, also thinking about how to open up sales next!
"Jingle Bell--- Jingle Bell ---"
Just then, the phone rang on his desk.
"Hey, hello, you're the one!" Xu Hong picked up the phone casually.
"Haha, old friend, why can't you hear who I am! I'm Jin Dabao, Jin Da boss!" The other party laughed on the phone and arrogantly introduced himself.
"Oh, it's Boss Jin! I don't know what instructions there are for calling us little people!" Xu Hong felt a little annoyed when he heard that it was Jin Dabao's voice, but he still patiently talked to him.
"It's not a big deal! I just want to ask, how is your "New Star Art Garden" after this revision! If it doesn't work, I think it's better to follow our "Tiannan Pictorial" to eat. If you follow us, your life will be much better, and you don't have to worry about sales at all! We have a lot of secret sales channels, far from what you can do!"
Jin Dabao began to persuade Xu Hong to surrender them again. The reason why he wants to do this is because he still knows that Xu Hong has some talents, and if Xu Hong is allowed to sit in "New Star Art Garden", I am afraid that this little sapling will soon grow into a towering tree!
"Boss Jin, you don't have to worry about this, you have your sales channels, we have our sales channels, we go our own way, no one cares who doesn't have it, as for you who you said, you want us to 'follow you'. This is unlikely. Although our "New Star Art Garden" is still just a small pictorial, it has already improved since the last revision, and the sales volume exceeded 1,000 copies last month! A total of more than 1,600 copies were sold! Although this number cannot be compared with your "Tiannan Pictorial" at all, we still see hope! We are confident that "New Star Art Garden" will become a big pictorial that everyone loves!"
As soon as Xu Hong heard Jin Dabao's words, he naturally understood his opponent's thoughts, but he was afraid that he would make "New Star Art Garden" bigger and stronger, seize the market, and then take away his job from Jin Dabao.
"What, your last issue sold more than 1,600 copies. Isn't it very good! Is it 5,000 copies short of the last issue of our "Tiannan Pictorial"! Work hard, and by the time we get to the Year of the Monkey, we may be able to surpass us!"
To be honest, Jin Dabao was really surprised when he heard Xu Hong say that the sales of the last issue of their "New Star Art Garden" were more than 1,600 copies.
You must know that the sales of "New Star Art Garden" before would not exceed 500 copies, and since Xu Hong joined the first issue of "New Star Art Garden", it has exceeded 1,000 copies, which is also scary enough. You must know that when "Tiannan Pictorial" first started, it took a year to break through the sales of 1,000 copies!
In just one month, the sales of "New Star Art Garden" have increased by leaps and bounds from a few hundred copies to 1,600 copies, which is such an impressive achievement! It is far stronger than the original "Tiannan Pictorial."
After Jin Dabao acquired "Tiannan Pictorial", of course, he also carefully studied the history of "Tiannan Pictorial" several times, and he knew very well what the sales of more than 1,000 copies of "New Star Art Garden" meant.
It's just that he won't boast about his opponent to his face, as the saying goes, 'peers are enemies'. A narrow-minded person like Jin Dabao is even more unlikely to say good things about his opponent, he will only laugh at his opponent sarcastically.
