Japan,Shogakukan Manga Company Marketing Department,As the head of the marketing department of an advantageous marketing department,Saburo Ishii is flipping through the comics of his opponent in his office。

Shogakukan was founded in 1922 and is headquartered in Hitotsubashi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan, as a publishing of study books and magazines for elementary school students. However, it has since developed into a large-scale publishing company that also sells books, periodicals and magazines, comics, reference books, CD-ROMs and other publications. Since the establishment of the shonen manga magazine "Shonen Sunday" in 1959, Shogakukan has published a total of 19 magazines including children's manga, shoujo manga, shonen manga and adult manga, and the manga has sold 100 million copies of the manga alone this year. The most famous manga in Shogakukan are "Doraemon" and "Detective Conan", which have also been made into cartoons, and comic books and cartoons are very popular with children in China. It is one of the three major publishing companies in Japan.

On Saburo Ishii's desk are all comics that his assistant has just sent back from all over Asia, and they are the best local manga sold locally.

Taking a little time out every week to read comics from various places and learn about the market situation in various places has been a good habit that Saburo Ishii has developed for a long time. Saburo Ishii very much agrees with the saying that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, and believes that only by understanding the situation of competitors can we better promote our own work, and only then can we better enter the comic market in various places.

"Knock knock, knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Saburo Ishii said without raising his head."

Assistant Nakajima Kawao came in with a bunch of comic daily newspapers, weekly magazines, and single books, and said respectfully: "Ishii-kun, this is the Hong Kong comic you wanted, and I sent it to you as soon as I arrived." ”

Ishii Saburo casually took out a copy of Huang Yulang's "Dragon and Tiger Gate", only read it and threw it aside, it was still the same, but it was changed to a name, the content was the same as before, nothing new!

Then he looked at Shangguan Xiaobao's "Bruce Lee", shook his head and said: "This comic just uses Bruce Lee's fame to brush sales, or uses kung fu fighting as a selling point, after being published for so many years, there is still no big change." ”

Kawao Nakajima, who did everything well, inquired about all kinds of news before he came, and said: "These two novels are the highest-selling comics in Hong Kong in the past two years. ”

Ishii Saburo nodded, then took out another copy of Huang Yulang's comics, and roughly scanned it and lost interest, "If Hong Kong comics are at this level, there is no threat to the comics of our Great Japanese Empire at all!" ”

"Of course, Hong Kong comics are not enough to give us big Japanese comics shoes!" Nakajima Kawao skillfully patted the sycophants and said:

After reading several comic publications in a row, Saburo Ishii finally turned to "The King of Paintings", and the style of the cover made his eyes shine instantly

"Hey, there's something interesting about this comic!" Saburo Ishii held "The King of Painting" and said: "Although it is still a situation of fighting with martial arts, the style and penmanship are a head above other comics!" ”

Kawao Nakajima explained: "This comic is adapted from a martial arts novel, which is very popular in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and the latest issue of "The King of Paintings" sold 260,000 copies a few days ago, breaking the manga sales record in Hong Kong. ”

"Well, that's good!" Saburo Ishii commented while flipping through the content of "Looking for Qin": "The drawing method of this comic has the style of our Japanese comics, and if it is released in Japan, it will definitely sell very well." ”

As a marketer, Ishii Saburo is not only responsible for dealing with manga artists in Japan, but also responsible for collecting good manga from abroad, and if he can buy them at a low price and distribute them in Japan, it will be an exciting surprise for Ishii Saburo.

After turning a few more pages, Saburo Ishii finally turned to "Sailor Moon", and his unique content made Saburo Ishii's eyes light up.

"This content is fantastic, this author is a groundbreaking genius!" Ryo Aida said to look at the author's signature, and at a glance, he knew that it was the name of two girls, and the screenwriter's column was still Lei Weidong's name as "Looking for Qin". He said to Saburo Hirai, "This Lei Weidong has a keen eye for comics, and this "Sailor Moon" manga style is a rare comic style on the market at present, and it belongs to shoujo comics, especially popular with those teenage girls. ”

"Nakajima Army! Book me a plane ticket to Hong Kong tomorrow, and I will personally go to Hong Kong to visit the author of Lei Weidong, and I have a hunch that the comic "Sailor Moon" is very important to our Shogaku! ”

"Okay, Ishii-kun!" Kawao Nakajima knows the character of the leader very well, and if he sees something good, he will definitely get it as soon as possible.

"Wait a minute!" Saburo Ishii stopped Kawao Nakajima, who was about to go out.

"Book me a plane ticket for today, and I'm going to Hong Kong in the shortest possible time." Saburo Ishii stood up with "The King of Paintings" and jumped around the room screaming. This manga is so good, I must buy it! ”

"What's wrong? Junjun Ishii. Kawao Nakajima asked.

Saburo Ishii gasped for breath in his mouth, pointed to "The King of Paintings" and said, "I must go to Xiaomi Comics Company immediately, this "Fist of the Big Dipper" must be bought!" ”

Nakajima Kawao looked at his watch and said, "Ishii-kun, it's not early, it's very troublesome to book a ticket now." ”

"No, it may be bought by another company later," Saburo Ishii said as he walked through the manga, "I have a hunch that "Fist of the Big Dipper" will be as popular as "Doraemon", as long as we can buy the copyright of this manga by ourselves, the prize money we get will be enough for half our lives!" ”

"What? As popular as "Doraemon"! So what are you waiting for, Ishii-kun, I'll go book a plane ticket right away. Saburo Hirai instantly turned into a scud and ran out of the office with a puff of smoke. I don't care about the weird eyes of my colleagues in the corridor at all! ”

"Yoxi, Yoxi!" Saburo Ishii applauded while watching, and he was not at all surprised by Kawao Nakajima's impulsiveness!

"This!" Saburo Ishii's eyes are nailed to the manga and he doesn't move.

"How is that possible! How can it be! How could Hong Kong have such a caricature in addition to "Fist of the Big Dipper"! Saburo Ishii looked incredulous. I don't even know if the comic in my hand fell to the ground. Instantly turned into a scud, and before he even had time to close the office door, he shouted loudly as he ran: "Nakajima, if you can't book a ticket today, hand in your resignation report."

The "Painting King" that fell to the ground has just been opened more than halfway, and the words "City Hunter" are clearly displayed.
