"Hey, Thompson, it's still the old rules, fifty copies of "Comet," thirty copies ......of "Brooklyn Weekly," said Madison, the bookstall owner, who came to wholesale Thompson's stocking lane, that day.

"I've already prepared it for you, and I'll have someone send it to you in a while!" Thompson casually agreed, then leaned in and whispered, "But today I have a new batch of good stuff here!" ”

"What's good?" Madison asked curiously.

"A good thing for men!" As he spoke, Thompson mysteriously took out a brand-new magazine from behind him and handed it to Madison, and at the same time admonished: "Be careful, don't get dirty, this book is precious!" ”

Thompson just wanted to sneer, "Everyone does this, how expensive can a magazine be?" But when he saw the cover of the magazine, he was stunned, because on the cover of this magazine was a beautiful woman who was naked and only wore a mask, this woman was extremely beautiful, and her body was also very hot, and what was even more tempting was that because she was naked, all kinds of hidden wonders were revealed, and Thompson was red and short-breathed.

At this time, Madison teased on the side: "Why are you so red?" ”

If Monet were here, he would have replied: "Refreshed!" But Thompson naturally didn't see the classic "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", so he replied a little embarrassed: "I, I left too much when I came!" ”

Then he changed the topic and asked, "Which magazine is this?" ”

Madison didn't answer, just patted the "Comet" next to him, and Thompson couldn't help but exclaim: "What? This is from "Comet"? But what does this have to do with science fiction? ”

"I mean to say that this Playboy was made by Mr. Monet, the editor-in-chief of "The Comet", and I didn't say that "The Comet" was published!" Madison explained.

"Mr. Monet? It's the Monet who wrote "Detective Monet", right? Thompson asked, somewhat surprised.

Madison nodded and replied, "That's right, it's him!" ”

"But, how did he, a detective and science fiction writer, start such a thing?" Thompson asked, puzzled.

Madison retorted, "Why can't someone who writes detectives and science fiction run this kind of magazine?" Isn't he also a man? And he hasn't changed careers either, isn't he still making magazines! ”

"Well, that's right, "Comet" and "Playboy" are both magazines!" Thompson nodded in agreement, but he still had a question: "But can this thing be sold publicly?" ”

Madison nodded without hesitation and replied: "Of course you can, you haven't looked at the title page and it already appears that this is an adult magazine, which is forbidden for children under the age of 15 to buy and watch, and Mr. Monet also deliberately wrote a very interesting statement at the beginning!" ”

Thompson opened it and found it interesting, only to see that it read: "If you're a man, between the ages of 18 and 8o, Playboy is the magazine for you...... If you're looking for humor, depth, and experience while entertaining, Playboy is the perfect thing to be...... We wanted to make this clear from the very beginning that Playboy is not a magazine for the whole family...... If you are someone's sister, wife or mother-in-law and you accidentally pick up our magazine, then please hand it to the male member of the family, and you should read "Women and Family Partners" yourself. ”

It was such a warm and humorous opening sentence that made Thompson immediately let go of the last trace of hesitation and decided to purchase a batch of "Playboy", but what he did not expect was that seventy years later, Thompson's grandson was surprised to find that his grandfather's collection could be sold for 5,000 dollars.

But when Thompson heard the pricing of Playboy, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What? A magazine costs three dollars? ”

Madison snorted coldly and said, "What's the matter, you're still too expensive, and you don't want to see how much this magazine costs?" Just these more than 50 color pages will cost a lot of money, and how much do you think you can give people to ask a female star to take this kind of photo? If you give less, can people do it? Doesn't it take money to distribute this kind of adult magazine, how many joints do people have to get through, to tell you the truth, even if it is three dollars a copy, I don't think the boss Mr. Monet will make much. ”

"Wait, you're saying the woman on this cover is a movie star?" Thompson asked.

"Of course, how else can it be on the cover?"

"Can a movie star take this kind of picture?" Thompson questioned.

Madison pouted, "Why can't movie stars take this kind of picture?" How holy do you think they are? In fact, most of them have slept with the boss or director, otherwise why use you? There aren't many pretty girls who want to make movies! ”

Thompson thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Well, that's true, but who the hell is this?" ”

Madison shook his head and replied: "I don't know this, but the magazine has written it, you see, right here, the cover girl is a movie star, starring in at least three movies, her image is familiar to everyone, as for who she is, we will announce it on the cover of the next issue, and everyone is welcome to submit and speculate, we will draw three lucky readers among the readers who guess correctly, and give away mysterious gifts!" ”

"Mr. Monet is very good at marketing, so he can directly ensure the sales of the next book!" Thompson praised.

Madison disagreed: "Actually, I don't need to watch it like this, just based on the content of Playboy, even if there is no marketing, will you not buy the next one?" ”

"Well, that's right!"

“......”

The same conversation took place between many wholesalers and retailers in New York, and in short, "Playboy" became popular overnight, and the sales exploded so much that Monet and Irene did not expect it, and even had to hide in the printing house every day to deal with these crazy distributors.

What surprised Monet even more was that there were people pretending to be Ruby, the cover girl......

PS: Yesterday, I watched "New Fengshen: Nezha Rebirth", which I didn't watch during the Spring Festival, and found that it was actually not bad, I went to the cinema to watch it when I knew it, after all, the special effects are still very good, and what surprised me even more was that the end of the film announced that Chasing Light was doing the sequel to "White Snake: Origin" "Green Snake: Robbery", which is too exciting!
