CHAPTER XXVIII

Some people in the industry, even before today, could smell some rumors.

They all knew that the Elliott family had struck again.

The media oligarchy of Gotham is already hungry and thirsty, with a three-plank axe hanging high over his head, and another unlucky guy is about to be beheaded.

And it's not hard to guess who this unlucky guy is, except for the Marvel newspaper, which has been in the limelight recently, and no one is worthy of the Elliott family's shot.

Admittedly, most of this is deplorable.

The comics of Marvel News are really good, and many of them are fans of comics, but, reality is reality,

In Gotham, no one can challenge the authority of the four great families.

Everyone is watching this day, watching another new star fall in front of the old monopoly power, and their hearts are both indifferent and regretful.

Then, Elliott was crushed.

On the same day, Diana took out the newspaper as usual, and beckoned the newsboys to distribute it.

The newsboys lamented not being able to see the next issue of Iron Man, but were quickly caught up in Gotham Spider-Man.

For the children who are poor in entertainment in this era, their requirements are really not high, as long as there is enough interesting things to divert attention, they can accept it.

Compared with the high-ranking arms tycoon, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, who was born as a poor boy, also makes them more empathetic, and the effect is not bad at all.

At the same time, the newspaper did not forget to publish a news,

"The hardcover album of "Iron Man" is on the shelves today, in addition to all the comics in issues 1-3, it also contains follow-up plot ......"

"The quantity is limited, you can get a coupon for the purchase of this newspaper, you can give priority to the purchase of discounts, and each person is limited to one ......"

Immediately, a newsboy saw the news, pointed and asked, "Sister Diana, what are the hardcover albums and coupons?" ”

Diana was prepared, and took out the comic book and ticket roll with a smile.

The moment the newsboys saw the album, their eyes lit up.

I saw that at the top of the album was a cool Iron Man cover, which I had never seen in the newspaper.

Most importantly, both the material of the paper and the delicate, clear printing technology, the quality far exceeds the level of this era.

Although the printing methods of the previous newspapers were also surpassed, they were not too prominent after all because of the carrier.

But in order to better carry the comics and make the effect more prominent, Peter directly mentioned the technology for another few decades, which caused the finished product to be amazing.

As for why it has not been able to directly reach the modern level, it is mainly due to the influence of the current overall scientific and technological level of human beings.

But that's enough.

Such a picture album, not to mention its contents, is very collectible based on its quality alone.

As for coupons, they are just a means of hunger marketing, and there are also methods of anti-counterfeiting.

Anyway, under the sanctions of the Elliott family, whether it is a newspaper or a picture album, it is impossible to publicize it on a large scale in the early stage.

Yes, Diana was already aware of the Elliott family's attack.

As she approached these days, she clearly felt the pressure from the Elliott family.

Most of the vendors who had agreed to buy newspapers suddenly changed their promises in the past few days.

As long as you're not stupid, you know there's something wrong here.

Originally, she was worried about this, she didn't know what was wrong, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Fortunately, during this time, she also learned a skill from Black Superman, throwing the pot.

Since Black Superman can throw a lot of chores and troubles to her, she can also throw this kind of confusing difficult problem to Black Superman, right?

Well...... Even after that, she paid a lot of money for it, and Diana's face couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, the effort is worth it.

Black Superman gave her a clear analysis of the matter, and at the same time, he also formulated these strategies now......

Thinking of this, Diana handed out the album to the newsboys one by one, and said:

"When you go out on the street to sell newspapers, remember to show them to the guests, some of which have been sent to the Grave family's property to sell on your behalf."

In this way, even if the new issue of the weekly newspaper is sold by only a few vendors, shops, and newsboys in the surrounding neighborhoods, its popularity has not decreased but increased.

The hardcover comic book in the newsboy's hand really attracted enough attention, and even in the back, there were a lot of scalpers and book speculation.

As we all know, people are profit-seeking, and once they are linked to money, it is difficult to think about it.

As for Elliott, they hired someone to copy the comics, and hired the best artists.

But where is the level of technology accumulated by the industry in the past hundred years so easy to copy, let alone that it is just a clumsy product of rushing work.

Although it doesn't lead to a violent death, it's not tepid, and it's not far from other comic books of the current generation.

As for those copied newspapers, the pirated version is disgraceful, especially now that there are no coupons, they are directly spit on in the trash.

Elliott's three-plate axe struck the hard head, and not only did he fail to cut off a piece of meat, but he was also chopped in the blade.

The Elliott family.

Edward? Elliott was listening to the steward in charge with a gloomy face and report to him on the situation at the Marvel newspaper office this morning.

lost, even if the specific data has not yet come out, but judging from the situation of both sides today, Edward knows that the Elliott family lost this battle completely.

Like a lion, he stared at the steward with gloomy eyes, until the other party was so frightened by this power that he began to tremble, and then he asked:

"That's what you promised me, I'll get the job done?"

He picked up a newspaper, which was the comic he copied on the shelves today, pointed to the clumsy drawing skills on it, and said angrily:

"Look! What are you drawing! Compared to Marvel's comics, it's like shit! ”

"Also, the Marvel weekly report I asked you to secretly copy is the same, and I haven't sold a few copies so far! That's what you do! ”

The steward was so frightened by him that he didn't dare to speak even more, and lowered his head and trembled silently.

At this time, whether it is an explanation or something, it is a collision, and he will only get worse cold.

Fortunately, Edward's old butler stood up and reassured:

"Sir, the main problem this time is still with the Marvel newspaper, they have come up with several methods, and they have accurately defused our attack ......"

He gave a general overview of Peter's strategies.

This made Edward finally stop being angry and calm down a little.

In fact, he also knew that this time it was mainly because the other party's methods were too clever and completely predicted their actions, which led to such a passive opening today.

Although he was angry, he was actually very calm in his heart.

The anger was for his subordinates, and as a newspaper tycoon, he couldn't have been so unrestrained.

If you lose, you lose, and the dignified Elliott family can't even afford to lose such a thing.

Merely......

Edward picked up another document on the table,

This is the "Iron Man" comic book that just came out today.

He reached out and touched the album, feeling the touch of the paper coming back.

Open the album, the printed screen on the top, the font is also extremely clear.

Great, too good to be too good.

If the printing technology of the newspaper before only made him a little concerned, and also let his workers speed up the cracking,

The album printing process in front of him already made him can't help but be greedy.

He had to get, own, grab the technology.

Only the Elliott family is worthy of it, and can give full play to the value of this printing process.

He withdrew from the trembling steward who was lying on the side, then pressed the album on the table, and said bluntly to the old butler:

"I'm going to get it, by any means."
