Chapter 33: The Plan for Harming People (II)

"Your attitude surprised you?" Yakushiji Izumiko saw that Miyahara Shizune had been opening her mouth in surprise, so she asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, no." Miyahara Jing is not interested in the family of Yakushiji, the parents are short, hehe.

And the other party was twenty-eight years old and could do sales execution in Dongfang, and his family background must not be simple.

Miyahara Jing also noticed that the other party basically spoke casually and didn't care much, so he forcibly reversed this topic, which was a little "sad" for both parties.

"Well, Izumiko-sama, let's get down to business."

"Yes, yes, but why did you ask me out? I remember the last time your vice president talked to me about the cost of the sale...... Let me state in advance that your publishing house is indeed under my sole responsibility, and I also know that your magazine is very strong during this period of time, but we have clear regulations on the proportion of channel fees, and one sales order of magnitude is adjusted, if Jingjun still wants to lower the price again, I can directly say sorry, because this is something that cannot be done. ”

"Jingjun should also understand that the larger the number of magazines on sale, the lower the proportion of our single-volume fees, and for such customers, Dongfang relies on volume to make profits, and the profit margin is limited, and no one can suppress it."

"No, what I'm going to say today has nothing to do with that."

With the increase in the circulation of me and Simiel, the money that the Hibiscus Society has to pay to the East sellers for each volume is indeed less, and Miyahara Jing doesn't have to hold on to this, and he doesn't think that he can push the price down, because if he presses it again, it will be equivalent to smashing people's jobs.

"I'll be blunt, there's a manga magazine called 'Mystery Juicy' that also belongs to Miss Izumiko, right?" Miyahara Jing had already inquired about this in advance, and it would not be wrong.

Well, it's a coincidence.

"Yes, what's wrong with this magazine?"

This reasoning-oriented magazine is the monthly magazine of Miura Shosha.

"That's right, I wonder if Izumiko has heard of our relationship with Miura Shosha, the publisher of this magazine?"

After Izumiko Yakushiji shook her head to indicate that she was not clear, Miyahara Shizune began to tell the whole story, "This is the case, it was ...... in May last year"

After Miyahara Jing explained the matter clearly, Izumiko Yakushiji was silent for a while before she spoke again: "So, what do you want to do now?" It is true that Miura Shosha's behavior is unfair competition, but this does not mean anything, this practice is not uncommon in commercial competition, and I have seen a lot of ways to do it more subordigently than such means, but business is like this. ”

Yakushiji Izumiko was surprised, "You want me to kick Miura out of the To-selling system?" IMHO, this is impossible. ”

Will Yakushiji be able to do this? In fact, she could do it, and it wasn't too hard to do such a thing as her, but there was no reason for her to do it.

The two are just "strangers" with a one-sided relationship, and they don't have a deep relationship at all, just because Miyahara Jing accidentally helped Yakushiji a favor, and the other party may have a limited affection for him.

This kind of favor is enough for Yakushiji to invite Miyahara Jing to a big meal or something, but the rest is not to be discussed, and it is impossible to harm personal interests for the sake of Miyahara Shizu.

Yakushiji also explained, "Reasoning Juicy is a manga magazine with a stable monthly circulation of 400,000 copies, do you know how much profit it can bring us, which is much stronger than the previous Hibiscus Society." ”

"No, no, Miss Izumiko misunderstood," Shizune Miyahara is a very sensible person, and he doesn't have the luxury of making Miura Shosha's magazines have no place to sell.

"My request is a little simpler...... Reasoning Juicy is released on the last Friday of each month, and Friday also happens to be the release day of me, so I hope that in the direct sales system of the East Hawker and the large chain bookstores that the East Hawker can influence, I and Mystery Juicy will be placed next to each other. ”

Is the coincidence of this release date also a coincidence? It's really not, for a mature weekly, it doesn't really make much difference which day of the week it is released, and it doesn't have to be a weekend, and the reason why Friday was chosen is because Miyahara Shizune had a bad idea at that time.

Shizu Miyahara's request was really simple.

But it's a bit of a loss.

Yakushiji Izumiko is a smart person, and as soon as she thinks about it, she can understand what Miyahara wants to do.

"You want to compete with Miura Books like this? I remember that your comics are not about reasoning, right?,Me and reasoning juicy are not homogeneous magazines.,It's not too obvious to compete for readers together.。 ”

Truth be told, this requires Yakushiji to do it too, but it's a bit more troublesome than kicking Miura outright, but she also has no reason to do it.

So far, there is no reason, and then it will be up to Miyahara to convince her.

"In order to cater to readers and pursue sales, our magazine's main focus is, of course, combat comics, but the proportion of mystery comics in it is not small, and we will focus on speculative comics in the near future."

"Looks like you're determined to fight them."

At the beginning of the magazine, I pushed a ** comic, deceiving ghosts, Miyahara Jing's meaning couldn't be clearer, and there is no reason why Izumiko Yakushiji can't understand it.

"But you're a weekly."

"yes, it's a pity we're weekly." Miyahara Jing then lamented that if you want to really completely and decisively squeeze the living space of Miura Books, in the end, you will use a homogeneous monthly magazine to fight with them, not only the subject matter is the same, but even the sales cycle is exactly the same, so that it is the most effective.

But the Hibiscus Society couldn't change the weekly back to a monthly magazine for this little thing, wasn't that sick, and they didn't have the energy to start another monthly magazine for the time being, so they had to make this decision.

To be honest, by now, Miyahara Jing's vindictiveness is not so strong, he just wants to make Miura suffer a little.

"I can do what you ask." Yakushiji Izumiko said, "But how are you going to convince me?" ”

"The next ten years ......" Miyahara Jing said these words, as if hesitant and then silent.

Can't make up your mind?

"Ten years?" Yakushiji repeated, wondering what conditions Miyahara would come up with.

"In the next ten years, the Hibiscus Society will not have its own sales system, and all books, magazines, etc. will go through the channel of East Hawking." Miyahara finally said this.

"I thought you were going to say something, Jingjun, this promise of yours is not sincere, in my opinion, the Hibiscus Society is not capable of breaking away from the East Hawkers, even if it is ten years, even if it is twenty years." Yakushiji Izumiko leaned over the backrest behind him and said as if he didn't care much.

What she meant was that Shizune Miyahara was playing a white wolf in the air.

After finishing speaking, she picked up the coffee that had already cooled in front of her and took a sip of it lightly.

Miyahara Jing looked directly into the eyes of Yakushiji Izumiko, he was not deceived by the other party's actions, and he did not believe that the other party did not understand what he meant.

"Miss Izumiko, can't you really see it?"

"What?" Izumiko Yakushiji looked back at Miyahara Shizu.

"In the next ten years, the Hibiscus Society will be a new Shueisha, do you imagine how much you can profit after Shueisha joins the channel of the East Hawkers?"

The explosive trend of me can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

It is difficult for the Hibiscus Society to grow into a behemoth like Shueisha, but there is also a lot of possibility.

This is because the Tohmadan himself has made such an assessment of the current Hibiscus Society.

This promise of Miyahara Jing weighs as much as a thousand pounds.

Of course, in fact, Yakushiji is right, Miyahara Jing is indeed an empty glove white wolf, in the next ten years, his goal is to focus on building a complete ACG system, as for the rather energy-consuming sales channel, it will not be his focus in ten years.

If he really had such a plan, he wouldn't give up for an incomplete act of revenge. Miyahara Jing herself knows this very well, but Yakushiji doesn't know it, so it's all a trick.

The two of them just "gazed affectionately" for a while, and then Izumiko Yakushiji suddenly laughed.

Then she stretched out her palm.

"Smack, smack, smack!"

Three high-fives.

"Shizun, no, President Miyahara, your words are very convincing, and we have a good cooperation."

Everyone understands that Miyahara Shizu's condition is not at all proportional to the reward requested, which is very beneficial to the East seller, Yakushiji has no reason to refuse, and she can use Miyahara Shizu's condition to convince anyone else who holds an opposing opinion.

Well, Miura Books was sold so happily.

…………

When me and reasoning juicy were released at the same time for the first time and were placed together, Miura Books miraculously found that the sales of their current issue of the magazine suddenly dropped by 30,000 copies, which is still within the normal range, it may be that some stories have caused dissatisfaction among readers, and they take it for granted that if they make appropriate adjustments in the next issue, sales will come back.

But by the time of the next issue, instead of coming back, sales had plummeted by 50,000 copies.

Miura Books suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then they quickly discovered the problem.

🔥 robbed their readers!

Miura's opinions, of course, were very strong, and they began to give feedback to the Tohyo, and criticized them for their actions.

But at this time, you can see whose wrists are big, and the East Hawkers don't bird them at all.

At this time, Miura also understood, although he didn't know why, but the East Hawker did stand on the side of the Hibiscus Society.

The third time, the sales of Reasoning Juicy fell by 300,000 copies.

At this time, it stands to reason that Miura can already take the initiative to consider breaking away from the East Sellers, and with this unfair treatment, there is no place for the East Sellers to stay here - but they can't do it, not to mention that there is a contract, and any small and medium-sized publishing house, as long as they want to mix in Tokyo, they can't leave the East Sellers.

On the fourth time, Miura Shosha retreated and moved the release period to Wednesday, but the me of Hibiscus Society actually followed suit.

You have a weekly magazine, which was just released last Friday, and it is sold again on Wednesday this week, do you want to die? Do you give someone back to live?

Miura's whole person is not good.

On the sixth time, the sales of Reasoning Juicy fell by 200,000 for the first time.

During this period, ME's sales volume naturally continued to grow.

Before the seventh time, Miura Books had already taken the initiative to sue for peace.

They confessed and promised that Miura would take the initiative to move out of Tokyo and move to Shikoku, so that the Hibiscus Society would not chase after him.

Miyahara Jing thought about it, everyone even gave up the nest, let's stop playing here, lest the other party take risks, so he waved his sleeves, indicating that I am very generous, this matter will end here, and it will be dispersed......

It can really be described as feng shui in turns, last year, the Hibiscus Society was almost bankrupted by the Miura Publishing Company, but after a year, the other party was forced to leave Tokyo by the Hibiscus Society. (To be continued.) )
