Chapter 114: Sickness! Shangguo boutique
If you look at the essence like Lu Lingling, it is not difficult to find that Limu is actually the "root" of Shangguo Society, and it is the source of Shangguoshe's survival. For the survival and development of Shangguo Publishing House...... There is no room for error.
That night, the name of the new issue had been determined to be "Shangguo Boutique".
Early the next morning, the cover of the new magazine was selected and produced, and the comics, typesetting, and page layout were typeset, and the marketing was ...... All the work is going on in an orderly manner. Every detail of the new issue, the cover process, the color page and the communication process with the owner of the printing factory are indispensable. This month's old issues and monographs should also be urgently printed with an extra page.

Hong Kong, in front of a newsstand.
"Huh? The new issue is on sale, and Ali's new work "The Legend of Qin Shi Mingyue Jing Ke" will be serialized in "Shangguo Boutique", asking for the support of new and old readers? The youth flipped through the news published in the back of the tabloids.
The Sheung Kok News Agency was unable to do much in a short period of time, and could only publish information in this corner of Hong Kong.
There were other similar magazine news in the same tabloid. Although the competition is fierce, it is also the most likely to attract the attention of magazine readers. As a qualified company marketer, the communication message must have a purpose, and the target must be clear before disseminating. The people who like to follow the information of the magazine are actually the readers of various magazines.
"Whether you sell or not, you have to look at it first, don't try to change your name and deceive me!" The reputation of "Shangguo Magazine" is indeed a bit stinky, not everyone can read third-rate comics, and has always been able to faithfully follow a certain comic author to grow up.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong Comic Publishing House, in the editor-in-chief's office.
Shangguo Press, which has less than 10,000 loyal readers, has indeed sent a signal to compete with other publishing houses for customers!
Originally, Shangguo Society only printed 10,000 copies of "Shangguo Magazine", but now the new issue of "Shangguo Boutique" actually needs to print 100,000 copies, even if 100,000 copies are very few...... But what is it that gives them such confidence?
"Hehe, genius boy? Don't think that you can draw a comic strip of the Three Kingdoms, don't get up, a variety of painting styles are called "boutique" two words, if you dare to deceive the reader's feelings, you will finish this time! ”
The editor-in-chief of Hong Kong Man Magazine Publishing House sneered, "Q3" was indeed well received, but that was limited to the level of "Old Master" and "Oolong Courtyard", which belonged to the boutique of funny comics. But anyone can see that the mainstream of the future will inevitably be comics with a more beautiful style of painting. For example, the author of "Steel Forged" is trying to use his own method to draw patterns that are not available on dot paper on the market.
"It is better to print and see more, and when you are desperate, I will go and receive the 'judgment'. Hahaha......" the president laughed in his office. The income of the single book of "Steel Refining" is very eye-catching, and its author is also very valuable for cultivation, and the more broken the Shangguo Publishing House, the easier it is to sell him.

Hong Kong, Mantianxia Publishing House, in the editor-in-chief's office.
"The bowl noodles are reversed from the bottom of the bowl, so it's a Shangguo Publishing House!"
The editor-in-chief of Mantianxia Publishing House was extremely angry in his heart, because Shangguo Publishing House revealed that Ali was Limu's relationship, and he now knew that the authors of "Q3" and "Steel Refining" were the same person. And this person was actually originally a manuscript for the world! As a result, it was despicably snatched away by Shangguo Publishing House.
"The Legend of Jing Ke in the Bright Moon of the Qin Period"——"
Since Shangguo News has named it the word "boutique", it will definitely no longer be a four-panel comic style, and it may be as popular as "Steel Forged"! Such a young, excellent, promising, and shining little painter like a rising star has now been "tricked" into signing a deed of sale by the Shangguo Society.
Seeing that the seedlings of a good comic superstar were snatched away, how can the editor-in-chief of the world not be angry?
But you can't poke out that Limu is the author of "Steel Forged". First, I am afraid that Limu will become a mortal enemy, and there is no possibility of turning back in the future; Second, exposing at this moment is tantamount to giving free publicity to the new issue of the Shanghai National News Agency, not to mention his own face, but also to lose a hole card used for negotiations!

Hong Kong, Shangguo Publishing House, Editor-in-Chief...... Well, the place where the four of them are is a big office.
"Hehe, who would have thought that these cartoons were all drawn by the same person, and we will make a lot of money, and after the praise in Hong Kong, we will immediately publish a translation and go international!!"
Looking at Lu Lingling's smirk, Ryoko couldn't say anything more. In short, Elisabel is definitely going to break the bank, and Wang Bingyu is definitely going to be tired...... But in front of the big cake drawn by the president, Bingyu has no complaints, or is it just enjoying it?
"This time, Feng doesn't care what the ranking is, all the six comics are high-quality, and each of them will be judged as soon as possible!" Lu Lingling plans to make a final decision again. (PS: The new book judgment has made a new book edition, and the number of pages is about twice as small as the library version.) )
"President, with all due respect, new books are only suitable for publishers with relatively large sales, and we can't support six new books to be sold at the same time." Wang Bingyu said lightly. She put all her energy into her work, using a flat tone to save the energy she consumed.
"Bingyu, you're worried too much, "Boutique" will definitely open up the market. Anya is in the matter of money, at least she must be willing to give the money of "Magic Apprentice", didn't her parents give her a lot of relaxation after making money in a single book? It's really not good, our company still has the balance to call. ”
"Since I have the balance, let's make up my business trip expenses first, and contact the TV station and newspaper to treat you." Wang Bingyu immediately reacted to the president's words.
"Ice language pulled back a game ......" Ryoko rarely complained.
As soon as the words fell, she was stabbed by Lu Lingling's sharp gaze, and Ryoko's throat swallowed back the follow-up complaints as if she was stuck.
Wang Bingyu and Elisabel are both experts at spending money. Visit the author (travel), investigate competitors (binge buy comics from other comic clubs), and communicate with the Zheng Prefecture Approval Department (eat and drink). Elisabel is a funder of the Shanghai National Society, and she is a large shareholder, so how to spend money is reasonable.
But Lu Lingling is just a mere CEO, and she has squandered a lot of money......
"Well~well~ In short, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge-" Lu Lingling wiped her mouth and said a foolish, bowing her head and concentrating on things.

There are still six days left before the sale, Hong Kong Island Printing Factory, printing workshop.
"Want to turn over with the new salted fish?" The department manager finally saw that Shangguo News Agency had entered a familiar trajectory. If the old magazine is not ready, the new magazine will be published, which is simply - the prelude to death!
"If it weren't for a comic, which happened to be popular again, would they be able to sustain it until now?" was supposed to be a dead fish that turned its belly quickly according to his script, but because of some accidents, it has survived to this day.
"Salted fish turn over!" One of the mimeographers present echoed the manager.
I thought that the inaugural issue of Shangguo Magazine would become popular, so I bought ten copies, but I didn't expect to see no signs of its appreciation after a year, but the single book that was first released became a collector's edition. However, the English version, the Chinese version, and other versions of the prophecy were not printed here, and it was impossible for them to collect the first editions in the full language. I know that the full set of the first version can be sold for 1000 yuan.
"Dying and throeping."
"I must want to turn over the salted fish!"
There was a lot of discussion among the mimeographers, and many employees bought the first issue of "Shangguo Magazine" due to their herd behavior. The mimeographers who have been cheated once have ugly faces, and they look at "Shangguo Boutique" with a biased eye...... 32 yuan is a lot of things, and buying a few packs of cigarettes is better than buying a magazine.
Two packs of cigarettes a day can be cool for three or four days, so why do I have to buy you a magazine?
