Chapter 139: International Comics (II)
In the Tokyo Manga Building, President SP Fukawa stared at the data survey book in his hand with a gloomy face, and sitting at the conference table with him was a small group of six radicals, including Koizumi Society.
"In just one week, 4 million copies were sold in our country, how can anyone resist it, it's amazing."
"Our Dahe nation should have a very national surname, but we were bewitched by them!"
Totally obsessed.
In a short period of time, the six comics from the mainland sold more than 4 million copies, which seems to be not much on average, but the six comics together are like a huge battle formation formed in ancient times, and the sales of 4 million copies a week caused them to be shocked and even panicked. The same fear appeared in the hearts of everyone in the company.
That fear stems from their business instincts. Some presidents are good at creating and opening up new paths for the company; Some presidents have a keen sense of smell and are good at avoiding risks. Due to tariffs, the price of the six new book editions of manga is 100~200 yen higher than that in China, but the Japanese people are still flocking to it.
4 million copies is just the beginning, and mainland comics are like a whirlpool waiting for the people themselves to approach, and then fall...... Constant falls.
"It's horrible!"
"Forbidden! Forbidden! β
"Interfere with them, wait for an opportunity to knock them over!"
In the perception of danger, the president of SP joined forces with his party to question Shangguo Comics. The comics re-entered the review process, and domestic wholesalers suspended the purchase and supply.
Shangguo Comics came to a sudden brake, and millions of sales instantly stagnated. It is said that the domestic comic industry is extremely mature, even if it is purchased by smuggling, no store dares to sell it! From the very beginning, this comic has stood far away from the starting line, and the original purpose of the establishment of the comic association was to navigate the domestic comic industry. For a terrible opponent with great potential, they do everything possible to strangle it in the cradle.
Comics that have already been released will be passed on to each other, and when the release period of the new book expires, the new book version of the manga that is not suitable for collection will be left unbought.
If the printed manga can't be sold, it will be backlogged, and although it can be sold slowly in the future, the warehouse fee and the stagnation of funds are all enough to deal a huge blow to the Shangguo Publishing House.
There are even companies that may go out of business due to a period of poor cash flow, and there are many companies that perished because they can't spare the funds for a new round of printing, and the most feared thing for desperate companies is that someone will make trouble.
Shangguo Publishing House has stalled due to censorship issues. When no problems are found after the review, a "whistleblower" can be largely exonerated by stating that both parties who use the right to report and the obligation to approve are morally and legally innocent.
"Unsalable." "Unsalable." "Unsalable." β¦β¦
This is the most sincere expectation of nationalist patriots.
Their suppression of comics from other countries is full of love for their own comics. The first thing to consider before your own company is the nation and the country, and I have cultivated this spirit of dedication since I was a child and an adult.
Just a small flame on the issue of patriotism can give rise to a very different kind of violent temperament.
ββ¦β¦ Diaoyu Shrimp Island is ours, and China's rapid development will pose a threat to our economic position in East Asia, so we should mention it casually in a column or cartoon when we belittle them. In addition, we stopped a few useless comics and serialized one or two comics in our magazine, which were originally invaded by China. The president of SP proposed.
"Okay."
"That's it."
China has been a powerful military and economic power since ancient times, and almost all dynasties have invaded foreign countries since its unification in 221 BC. Qin Shi Huang conquered the south and occupied central and northern Vietnam...... When the Tang Dynasty conquered Goryeo and changed its name to Joseon, the king of Joseon had to ask the Han emperor for approval if he wanted to marry a wife.
Imagine that the emperor of a country has to ask for instructions when he marries a woman he likes, and he can't marry if he doesn't pass it, how domineering and how embarrassing. The current capital of South Korea is still called Seoul, which means the city ruled by the Han people (in 05, I felt that it was really embarrassing, and Han Bangzi changed its name to Seoul).
β¦β¦ It is such an arrogant and domineering country, you dare to buy its books and buy it to let it develop?
β¦β¦ It is the race of our nationals who have twice killed people on a large scale (June 1274 and early 1281 A.D.)!
β¦β¦ Do you also read the books of the Shina tribe that we once beat down?
Batch! Batch! Batch! Batch! Batch! Batch!
Weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, triweekly!
The six publishing houses do not say it directly, but only occasionally reveal some meanings in the comics, using sporadic flames to ignite the national fire.
"Our nation will not let you develop! Hehehahehe...... "President Fukawa let out a smug laugh in his office after doing this.
The first stage stalled the sale of comics, and the second stage was the real closure plan. Public opinion is in the hands of the magazine, and a little Martian nationalism can raise its head! The comic market is really big, and the development of half of the world after World War II was in vain? Chinese people have developed the habit of going out to read comics and buying magazines at will.
On the other hand, piracy is rampant in the mainland market, and it is said that this book cannot make any sweetness in the mainland. The mainland market is not strictly managed, and a compressed DVD disc can hold dozens of episodes of anime and hundreds of comics, who will run to buy genuine goods?
"Wait to die!" He cursed.
If they lose the "largest sales market", how can they still bounce up, can they rely on the 500,000 copies market in Europe, America and Taiwan......
β¦β¦
At the beginning of February, the fifth issue of "Shangguo Boutique" was released.
Cover Layout - [Good News!] The issuance of high-quality single books has reached the expected amount! The circulation exceeded 23 million copies, please continue to support it in the future~(*^__^*)
Hee ......γ
The goal of 12 million copies has been completed, and the goal of 12 million copies has been completed, one by one - a cluster of blood from the whites of the SP president's eyes to his eyes.
23 million copies!
"What's going on?"
The presidents who launched the filibuster looked at the figure in amazement.
"This, this is not scientific!"
"How can we still sell so much when we are blocked?"
"Fake, everything is fake!"
"Did they open up the global market!?"
"This ......" President Yoshii couldn't figure it out, according to the sales ratio of "Boutique" magazine, Ben should indeed be in second place, and the purchasing power in terms of the number of people is indeed stronger than that of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
But...... Yes, no one thought of it.
This time, the biggest contribution was actually made by the mainland region. If you think about it, it will be clear that Hong Kong has a population of more than 6 million, and it is possible to sell 3 million magazines in Hong Kong? One for every two people? The magazine is not a single book.,Basically, after reading it, it's lost.,It's not okay to pass it on to each other.γ
Although the age span of the buying crowd of "Boutique" is very large, it can never develop to the extent that one person for every two people buys. At least children under the age of 6 can't read it, and middle-aged and elderly people over the age of 40 are not interested in magazines.
The reason why there is a situation where there are only 6 million people in Hong Kong but 3 million copies of magazines is completely due to the fact that some people on the mainland are smuggling black goods from Hong Kongββ!
