Chapter 21 Distribution Associations

Ge Qian might have been afraid that Huo Dongjun would be a little impulsive, so he pointed to the magazines around him that had not yet been cleaned up with his cigarette, and said in an accentuated tone:

"Now my stall, the best thing to sell is those comics, all of which are patronized by some small road boys and old boys, "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Black Panther" are the most popular among people, if you have a magazine top account, it is better to sell it. ”

Huo Dongjun glanced at Ge Qian, it turned out that Ge Qian heard that he was going to run a magazine, and thought that he was snatching someone else's magazine from his own hand, and he would flash if he made a sum of money.

He flicked off the cigarette ash and said, "Uncle ex-ex, I don't want to do this, I want to make a salty and wet magazine, which is full of photos of women, and even the kind of organ that is exposed underneath, specially for the salty and wet guys in Hong Kong!"

Ge Qian's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with excitement, he was born in a newspaper stall for many years, and when he heard Huo Dongjun explain the type of magazine, he immediately knew the profits and business opportunities in it:

If there is a magazine that really makes you say that it is all pictures of women without clothes and Lucy, it will definitely be a big seller! Do you know how people who buy magazines in Kwun Tong choose magazines and look at the covers! If "South Wind" magazine is looking for a beautiful girl to be the cover, then that issue must sell more, because many people are illiterate and only want to see beautiful women, if there is such a salty and wet magazine!

Seeing that Ge Qian was more excited than himself, Huo Dongjun couldn't cry or laugh a little, could it be that Hei Zai Lao Dou is also one of the salty wet guys in Hong Kong? But it's hard to say, Hei Zai's mother is said to be born in killing pigs and selling meat, and she looks stronger than Ge Qian, not to mention that the salty wet guy is weak when he sees her, and even many estate grandmothers don't dare to talk to Hei Zai's mother, and behind their backs say that Hei Zai's mother is like a pervert.

"I wanted to ask how magazines appeared on newsstands in Hong Kong, and how many issues were printed in one issue before the newsstands could digest them. Huo Dongjun reached out and touched his back, the wound on his back may be closing, and he always feels a little itchy.

Ge Qian heard Huo Dongjun ask this question, looked down with a cigarette in his mouth and thought about it for a while and said: " There are more than 20,000 newsstands in Hong Kong, and no one will contact the newsstand when the magazine is on the shelves, but they are all looking for the distribution association under the Hong Kong Press Association, which is actually the association of our group of newsstand guys, and more than a dozen qualified old people have the names of committee members in it, and magazines or newspapers on the shelves are generally the newspaper association or magazine association to say hello, and then negotiate with us, how much we get for a magazine, how much takeaway, are all discussed, such as "South Wind" For example, if we sell a book for five yuan, we will take four yuan for three yuan, but there are also high prices, such as "Ming Pao Monthly", a copy also sells for five yuan, but we take four yuan and seven, but it is compared with "South Wind", that is, there is a back to the end, if it can't be sold, the original price will be recovered, like "South Wind" If it can't be sold, it will not be back to the end, so you can only reduce the price yourself. ”

Huo Dongjun took a puff of cigarette and said, "In other words, if my magazine wants to be on the shelves of Hong Kong, I must say hello to the magazine association or the newspaper association?"

Ge Qian shook his head: "That's not necessarily, just listening to you I know that this magazine must be easy to sell, and who knows better than our group of newspaper guys what magazines are good to sell, even if you don't use the newspaper association, as long as you publish the magazine and set us a price that can be earned, the newspaper guys will come to pick up the goods! ”

"That means that as long as the book sells well, it's fine?" Huo Dongjun touched his hair and said.

Ge Qian sucked the imported red ten thousand given by Huo Dongjun, and said in an affirmative tone: " That's certain, but the price you give us must be reasonable, otherwise Ah Jun, I will tell you, your way of making money is not for others to do, but Hong Kong is the easiest to make magazines, especially the salty and wet magazines you talked about, they are all photos, you don't need any great writing, you can get it out of a magazine at will, so if you sell the fire, someone will definitely follow suit, and if the price you give us is unreasonable, of course I am useless, but other newspapers rely on the price to make money, and other magazines are more profitable than you give, then they will definitely recommend others。 ”

Huo Dongjun threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stepped on it, nodded and said: "I know Uncle ex-ex, thank you, I will register a magazine in the past two days, and when my magazine comes out with the finished product, I will come to you again, please talk to the distribution association, the whole Hong Kong will distribute the goods, and I am going to print 100,000 copies in the first issue." ”

"Big deal!" Ge Qian took a breath, thought about it and said with admonition: "Do you want to play so big, although it is said that the printing house can be put on the shelves first and then settle the payment, but 100,000 copies, if it is not sold well a few days ago, it is easy to be tricky, generally three days after the magazine is on the shelves, the printing house will ask for the full payment, 100,000 copies of the salary is not a small number, it is better to make 20,000 copies of the first issue to test the water, if it is good, you can print the second issue, there is also leeway." ”

"There are only more than 20,000 newsstands in Hong Kong, and only 20,000 copies are printed, and one stall is not enough, I will consider it, uncle, I am sorry for you, I have time to invite you to tea. Huo Dongjun patted Ge Qian's shoulder: "Come, help you clean up and go home for dinner." ”

After helping Ge Qian finish closing the stall, Huo Dongjun returned to the court in front of the estate, Yaohui and Zhizhi were already sitting on the fence by the court, drinking beer and smoking with Lezai and a few younger brothers in the school, seeing Huo Dongjun coming back, Yaohui jumped down from the railing:

"Brother Jun, here!"

Huo Dongjun nodded and looked at Lin Zhizhi who was sitting on the fence: "How is Aunt Feng?"

Lin Zhizhi took a sip of beer and showed a clean smile: "Fortunately, I took her to see the doctor today, the doctor said that it is best to live in a nursing home for long-term recuperation, you also know my mother's illness, it has been the same for many years." ”

Huo Dongjun turned over and sat on the fence: "That means that the money I shared last night was almost spent today?"

Lin Zhizhi took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with the corners of his clothes, and laughed at himself in a calm tone: "Of course, every month, I divide the money, and the next day I never feel empty-handed, don't talk about this, I'm used to it, what's the matter? Yaohui told me that you saw Lao Ding, and you let Chen Hao lead someone to rob the field of Xian Shiwen, do you want to fight like this, Brother Jun?"

Taking a can of beer handed over by Ah Wen, Huo Dongjun opened the ring and took a sip: "I rented a factory today, and tomorrow I will take my mother to register a magazine, do the right business to make money, and do the right thing in Kwun Tong. ”

Lin Zhizhi shrugged: "All these years, you said that we should do it, you said that we should do it, and if you make a magazine, we will make a magazine, I don't care, there are free photos to see, by the way, I saw Sister Baoling when I went downstairs, Sister Baoling seems to have just cried, what happened?"

Huo Dongjun told Chen Guobang about borrowing loan sharks after he got brain cancer, Lin Zhizhi looked up at the dense and towering housing estates in the night sky, and said: "People are not pitiful, and people who are poor and don't know how to do it are the most pitiful." ”

Yaohui and Lin Zhizhi accompanied Huo Dongjun to drink beer on the fence, Le Zai and Heizai sent their respective girlfriends home and came back, and only then did they walk towards the field where Chen Hao was watching.

Although Kwun Tong is a thoroughly poor area, some entertainment venues are open late at night, such as video game shops, which are usually open until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning, and the horse stall will not let the ladies rest after work until dawn.

The so-called field of the video game store is not actually a few people guarding the door of the video game store to prevent others from making trouble, of course, there are also such reasons, it is more to arrange a few younger brothers to sell coins in the video game store, the owner of the video game store will give 500 yuan or 1,000 yuan to the people who watch the game every day, and these coins will be resold by them at a slightly cheaper price to make money, one dollar and two coins are the price of the video game store, and the people who watch the game will sell it for one dollar and three, and if a video game store with 50 machines has a good business, it can earn five or six hundred yuan a day。

Of course, in return, the attendees will also help the game store owner to dismiss those who have lost money to make trouble or fight.

As for the horse bar, there is nothing to say, go directly to the door, beat up the groom or the owner of the daily rental house under Xian Shiwen, and tell him to pay the protection fee to himself every day instead of Xian Shiwen, and there is a special person to keep an eye on the daily rental hotel, and will remember how many guests the young lady under the horse groom does in a day, and draw money per time, the young lady in a poor area like Kwun Tong will go out for about 50 yuan at a time, the groom will draw 15, and the young lady will get 35, then Chen Hao's people will draw 2 yuan for the groom and 3 yuan for the young lady.

And the horse fence is the easiest, few people make trouble, the old boy will always give a full number of prostitution, after all, he is most afraid of losing face when he comes out, and the most are those middle-aged salty and wet guys, who don't have much money and have a lot of requirements, and the young lady is not happy, and the people who watch the scene will help the young lady to support her.

If the business is good, the people who visit the market can pump more than 1,200 yuan a day, although this money is not even a hair in those oil and water areas, but for the old boy in Kwun Tong, it is already a huge amount of money.

A few people took a taxi to Yunshui Road, this street is the same as Yuehua Street, next to the housing estate, most of the food stalls on the street are still eating, some people with ambiguous small lights in front of the day rental house sitting in revealing clothes, from time to time to the pedestrians on the road to make a wink, or and the opposite food stall on the people to eat a few words, often some people can't stand the ridicule, even eat only half of the meal, go to the day rental room to cool once, come back to continue eating.

Seeing Chen Hao's little brother standing in front of a daily rental house, Le Zai hooked his finger at him: "Asu!

Asu, who was looking down and flipping through the comics, looked up and saw Huo Dongjun and his party, and immediately ran over: "Brother Jun, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter, come and see, where is Chen Hao? A few venues are fine, right?" Huo Dongjun threw a cigarette to this little brother who was working hard to watch the door and count, and asked.

Asu is from the next house estate, and has been with Chen Hao since he was a child, although he is not as close as Chen Hao and Huo Dongjun, but he has also seen more Huo Dongjun, hearing his question, Asu smiled lewdly, and pointed to the Asahi rental house with his thumb:

"Brother Hao is still in it!"

Huo Dongjun frowned: "Isn't it enough for a groom to do such a thing as trying a horse?
