After returning to his residence, Wang Wenhong opened his notebook, just made a one-page plan, crossed his arms to his chest, and after a little contemplation, he dialed Xie Shiqi's mobile phone.

Xie Shiqi was worried about the decrease in the number of students in the dojo recently, and when she received a call from Wang Wenhong, she was confused.

She and Wang Wenhong are only limited to the cooperation of "Chess Soul", and there is no intersection other than that, so it is rare for Wang Wenhong to deliberately talk to her on the phone.

"Teacher Xie, please give me the addresses and contact numbers of all Go dojos in Hongchuan." Wang Wenhong said straightforwardly, "You should have it, right?" With Mr. Xie's prestige in Hongchuan, those dojos should take the initiative to contact the teacher, right? ”

"Huh?" Xie Shiqi blinked, unclear, "You want the phone number and address of other dojos?" ”

"Well, if you can, please hurry up."

"That'...... Please wait. ”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Wenhong came to the bookshelf, flipped out the last 11 issues of "ComicFuture", and completely tore "ComicFuture" without hesitation.

"Chess Soul" has at least 150,000 copies in a single week...... It must be done!

Wang Wenhong gritted his teeth and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and unconsciously, his shirt was soaked with sweat.

The 12th episode of "Chess Soul", "Sprout", with the publication of the new issue of "ComicFuture" magazine, the popularity has picked up slightly, and in the latest issue of "Little Book", it won the seventh place.

In the 12th episode, Tetsuo Kaga and Kimihiro Tsutsui, who participated in the middle school Go competition, won one win and one loss in the team competition, and all the pressure was concentrated on Hikaru Koko.

Xiaoguang also lived up to expectations, and with the help of Zuowei's strength, he helped Ye Se Middle School, defeated Neptune Middle School, and became the champion of the North District Go Tournament for middle school students.

Subsequently, someone immediately pointed out that Xiaoguang was not a student of Haze Middle School, and the organizers canceled Xiaoguang and others from the championship in accordance with the regulations.

Readers spoke highly of this sentence, and readers' letters also proved that "Chess Soul" is in the midst of recovery, but its ranking has not improved significantly.

"Hey, Xiao Wang, it's not okay to go on like this, the seventh and eighth places shouldn't be the proper rankings of "Chess Soul", the magazine has spent so much energy, it must produce results, you let Mr. Shen think of a way." Hook slapped the table and looked at Wang Wenhong opposite.

This stormy roar had no effect on Wang Wenhong, who kept tapping on the keyboard with both hands, never taking his eyes off the big screen.

Hu Ke just wanted to get angry, but Wang Wenhong's computer made a "ding dong" sound, and an email was received in his mailbox.

Wang Wenhong immediately clicked on it, then glanced at the content of the email, leaned forward, and his eyes seemed to be nailed to the screen.

"What's wrong?" Hook asked.

"The cover of the first episode of "Chess Soul" is designed."

"Huh?" Hook hurriedly walked around and glanced at the screen.

The background of the cover is white, and the background is a transparent chessboard with black and white chess pieces on it, and the only character, Zuowei, is placed on the left side of the cover.

"Black and white represent black and white, which is more consistent with the image of Zuowei. The cover is concise and gives the reader a clean feel. Wang Wenhong explained while forwarding the email to Shang Haozhi.

"Well, that's good. Eh...... Xiao Wang, can't you hear me? Hook was surprised.

"I'm busy right now and don't have time to explain your problem." Wang Wenhong downloaded the cover and opened Ps at the same time.

Hook looked depressed and couldn't say a word for a long time.

At this time, Shang Haozhi replied to the email, and the content was only one word - can.

Wang Wenhong spent more than half an hour to make a promotional poster for the single book according to the cover of the single book and the color pages drawn by Shen Xin before, and forwarded the poster to Shang Haozhi, and then took out two printed forms from the folder and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Hu Ke saw Wang Wenhong, who was about to leave, and hurriedly asked.

"Sales." Before Wang Wenhong's voice fell, he had already left the editorial office.

"Go...... Sales department? The muscles in Hook's face twitched twice, "Devil, right?" What do you do in sales? ”

Wang Wenhong took the elevator and came to the sales department upstairs.

Every salesperson is busy, flipping through the phone book and talking to each other.

Jiang Zhong, the manager sitting in the innermost part of the office, had a gloomy face, and the boredom in his heart was written on his face unconcealedly.

Wang Wenhong rarely deals with the sales department.

The editorial department is responsible for the quality of the comics, while the sales department needs to sell the individual copies.

At first glance, the two departments did not intersect, and in fact, the relationship between Shang Haozhi and Jiang Zhong was not very good.

The reason is very simple, the editorial department thinks that the comics that can be published in a single book, the quality is good, therefore, I want to print as many single books as possible, but in fact this is not the case, there are some comics that are quite popular in the magazine, after the single book, the effect is not good, but the top management ignores these objective factors, and pushes the responsibility to the sales department.

"The comics are obviously so popular, why can't the single book be sold? You must have not done a good job. ”

Every time he heard these words, Jiang Zhong felt the urge to leave.

This is almost the case with "Chess Soul".

If according to the previous small book, the score of "Chess Soul" is stable at about fourth place, and the first edition of 300,000 copies is not impossible. But in the last few episodes, the ranking of "Chess Soul" can be called a "disaster", how can it sell 300,000 copies.

Shang Haozhi tried his best to disagree with the public, and even took out the position of editor-in-chief as a guarantee, but the high-level could only agree.

As a result, the first printing of 300,000 copies of "Chess Soul" was determined, and the life of the sales department became difficult in an instant.

Half of the salespeople went out to negotiate with the bookstore in Hongchuan, and the remaining half of the salespeople contacted the bookstore in other places.

But it's hard to say for sure how much the book will sell, and no one can be sure of its final sales until the book is actually released.

Jiang Zhong is very depressed in his heart, and recently, his hair has fallen out a lot.

Wang Wenhong went straight to Jiang Zhong's desk and looked at the old man in front of him, who was over half a hundred years old, "Manager Jiang, I am Wang Wenhong, the editor in charge of "Chess Soul". ”

"Huh? You are the editor in charge of "Chess Soul"? Jiang Zhong was sulking, and when he heard Wang Wenhong's self-introduction, he was angry, "You don't stay in the editorial department, what are you doing in the sales department?" ”

Wang Wenhong pretended not to hear the dissatisfaction in Jiang Zhong's words, and put the form in his hand in front of him, "Manager Jiang, just take a look at this form." ”

"Pretending to be a ghost."

Jiang Zhong frowned, picked up the form, and read it roughly, most of the anger on his face disappeared, and after reading the table word by word again, his mentality also stabilized.

"Wait...... You mean, let's talk to the Go Dojo and ask them to advertise and sell Chess Soul? Jiang Zhong rubbed his chin, and his face finally had a complexion.

This method does work.

"It's not that you are asked to communicate with the dojo, in fact, I have already contacted 10 dojos in Hongchuan, and after reading the comics of "Chess Soul", they agreed to place and promote "Chess Soul" in the dojo, and then, we can communicate with the chess club and Go classroom. Try your best to broaden the readership of "Chess Soul", Manager Jiang, what do you think? ”

Jiang Zhong rubbed his chin and bowed slightly, "...... You can give it a try. ”

The two looked at each other, and both smiled at each other.
