"It's weird, it's so weird."

Zhao Cai muttered in his mouth, and turned it over again unwillingly in his hand.

The clerk of the bookstore who was sorting out the books on the shelves next to him saw Zhao Cai's behavior, perhaps he had encountered this kind of scene in a row, and the clerk in the blue professional costume walked up and asked quite predictively: "This gentleman, do you want to find "Madoka Magical Girl" on it?" ”

"Ahh Hmm~~ How do you know? Zhao Cai reacted confusedly, then turned his head to look at the clerk and asked.

"Because before you, there were already a few customers trying to find the comic "Madoka Magical Girl" on Yuanwang Weekly." The clerk replied enthusiastically with a sweet professional smile.

"I haven't found any." Zhao Cai asked tentatively.

"Yes, Yuanwang went to court with the author of "Magic Circle" some time ago, and the cooperation between them has been suspended." The clerk explained patiently in detail.

"Ahh Zhao Cai responded unexpectedly and continued, "In other words, now only one comic club, the Soul Drawing Comics Club, is serializing "Madoka Magical Girl"? ”

"Yes." The clerk nodded.

"This..."Zhao Cai's eyes searched the location of a Soul Painting Weekly area, except for an empty rectangular empty space, there was nothing.

"Is Painted Soul Weekly sold out?" Although he saw the result, Zhao Cai still asked unconsciously.

"Well, as early as noon, the Painted Soul Weekly was already sold out.

Originally, the person who watched "Madoka Magical Girl" from afar was guided to the side of the Soul Weekly, and I heard that "Madoka Magical Girl" had entered a high level. tide episodes, so the weekly sold out quickly. The clerk replied.

"High. Tide plot, is this a big twist in the comics? Zhao Cai thought about it for a while, and felt that he was looking forward to the plot of the new issue of "Magic Circle".

"What kind of twist?" Zhao Cai asked.

"I don't know, but I've only learned a little bit about it from the discussions of customers who keep coming in to buy Painted Soul Weekly." The clerk shook his head helplessly.

"Oh, that's right.

Excuse me, goodbye. Saying goodbye to the clerk, Zhao Cai came to the counter at the door of the bookstore with a little dejected head, and looked at a group of young people surrounding the store manager.

There are men and women, young people and teenagers.

It seems that there is no one of these magical girl-themed comics, and the audience attracted is quite extensive.

It's not that the audience is narrow, as in the subject list.

"It's almost fast, don't panic, it won't take more than half an hour at most, and the staff we ordered will be able to get the goods from the distribution office of the Soul Drawing Comics Club in Tianyizhou." The middle-aged store manager, who is chubby, has a smile on his face, comforting the anxious customers around him.

"Boss, tell you the truth, it's been a few hours and a half, and you're still lying to people for more than half an hour." There was dissatisfaction in the crowd.

"Hey, what can I do, our staff said that there are a lot of people picking up the goods there, and it is difficult to just squeeze in, let alone get the magazine.

But don't worry, just now our staff called and said that they had already received the goods and were on their way back.

If there is no traffic jam on the road, you can definitely get there within half an hour. The boss patted his chest and swore for a while.

"Hey~~~"

Hearing what this hypocritical boss said, many people in the crowd could only sigh helplessly.

After all, after waiting for so long, you may not be able to buy it elsewhere.

I can only wait here and trust this boss again.

Every issue of the comic club publishes a weekly magazine, and it will make some appropriate adjustments according to the sales volume of the previous issue, which is generally a little more than the actual sales volume of the previous issue.

As for how much it is, it depends on the size of the comic company.

There are tens of thousands of large comic clubs, and thousands or hundreds of small comic clubs.

After all, if you print one more copy and don't sell it, you're wasting one more money.

Even though the journal can be sold at a discount, the price difference between it and the new issue is half of the price, which must make these comic clubs want to avoid it.

In addition, the old magazines are sold at half price, which is still the treatment only available to large comic weeklies, and the weekly magazines that are not sold by small comic clubs, no matter how much they are discounted, will not be sold, and there is no certain loyal customer base, except that the waste paper is sold to scrap recycling, there is almost no other way out.

Besides, it has to be added that the number of sales in the new issue of Comic Weekly is not necessarily higher than the number of sales in the previous issue, and it may be even lower.

The larger the circulation, the greater the ups and downs, like the three major comic giants. The global circulation is more than 20 million copies, and the number of each issue fluctuates in the tens of thousands, plus the 20,000 or 30,000 copies of the magazine that must be issued more than the previous one each time.

If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to stock up on 100,000 copies in the warehouse after the first issue is issued, but what about the old issue with more than 100,000 copies?

Are they all sold at half price?

Of course not, there are many large comic clubs.

After all, the brand is there, doing activities as gifts, as a welfare for employees, as a feedback for old customers, sponsoring remote schools, and donating money as charity.

Anyway, there are many ways to use the waste paper piled up in the warehouse to the most rewarding and valuable ones.

However, these methods can only be used by global brands such as the three major comic giants, and other comic clubs that are not large enough are not so suitable.

It's like the Nine Great Comics Club, referring to the number of the previous issue, I don't dare to print too much.

It's the same with the painting soul.,Print a little more according to the slight increase in sales per issue.,It's been going on like this.。

Even though Anseong was prompted by Lu Ge and considered that the sales volume of this issue might skyrocket, he would not forcibly destroy the long-standing rules of this industry.

It's a big deal to work overtime to get printed, even if you will lose some, but it is not as good as the previous forward-looking gambling, in case the loss of gambling is large.

Zhao Cai came to the door of the bookstore, at the boss's counter, because of the itching and the plot of the latest issue of "Madoka Magical Girl".

He also took a special book at random in the rest area of the bookstore and looked at it, waiting for the bookstore to deliver the goods.

The books on sale are used books that are available for customers to see, but they can also be bought at a very low price.

Most of the types of books are inspirational, celebrity biographies, wisdom stories, or some unfamous writers can't sell, and of course, there are also single books that can't be sold by unfamous cartoonists.

Zhao Cai took a comic book alone, but after turning two pages, he found it.

What is the content of this comic, not only is the drawing style childish, but the story is also speechless.

No wonder it doesn't sell.

Zhao Cai barely read a few pages, and finally gave up.

After sitting in his seat and thinking about it, he finally took out his phone and opened the paid comics on the Internet.

Found the column of "Madoka Magical Girl".

It's a pity that the online serialization and offline sales are slower than the previous issue.,Today is the new serialization of the 6th episode.,And the 5th episode on the Internet is serialized at 0:00 today.。

After Zhao Cai logged in to his account, he watched "Madoka Magical Girl" again on the Internet.

His support for this comic can be said to be a two-way street, buying it online once and offline magazine once.

If nothing else, none of this author is not forced to feed the content behind. Excrement. , he should buy a single book again in the future.

I sat in my seat and watched for a while, but I don't know how long the time has passed.

I only heard a commotion at the door of the bookstore, and Zhao Cai woke up from the comic that had once again pulled him into the world of the plot.

Pricked up his ears and focused on the confusion of the sound for a moment.

"It's finally here."

"Huh~~ Boss, give me a book of painting souls first."

"Boss, because of your coaxing, I've been waiting here for nearly 2 hours."

…….

The new installment has arrived.

Zhao Cai no longer hesitated, put the phone in his pocket, and ran towards the door of the bookstore.

………
