Chapter 110: Mountain Rain is Coming
When Huo Dongjun arrived at the magazine, Liang Jiarong and Li En had already returned from the printing house, and Liang Jiarong had a slightly excited smile on his face:
"Jun Shao, 250,000 copies! The distributors in the 18 districts of the Distribution Association have eaten them all! Arne said that the first two issues were full of appetite, and this issue is sure to be cleared in four days. ”
Huo Dongjun smiled, now the magazine is almost a gold-absorbing monster, the second issue began to advertisers to come to the door, Xiaoxin's advertising layout is not enough at all, there are two more advertising pages in desperation, most of the advertisers who come to the door are ginseng houses, sea seal houses and other supplement stores opened in Wan Chai, there are also some adult appliances, the advertising income of a single issue is more than 150,000, enough to cope with the various expenditures of the magazine, the third issue of 250,000 yuan, the profit that fell into Huo Dongjun's pocket exceeded 600,000, which is the income of the previous two periods, less than a month, "Men's Weekly" The profit has exceeded one million.
Receiving the cash check for 2 million issued by the distribution association handed over by Liang Jiarong, Liang Jiarong said: "There are still 350,000 cash ......."
"Just stay in the magazine. Huo Dongjun flicked the check in his hand and said.
Just as he wanted to open his mouth to talk about the noon dinner, Heizai's old Douge had already called Huo Dongjun's name from outside the closed door to the inside.
Huo Dongjun put the check away, pushed open the door and walked outside the gate, and opened the fence door: "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Ge Qian pulled Huo Dongjun and walked a few steps inside, then looked at Liang Jiarong outside the office door, and whispered to Huo Dongjun:
"When I came back from picking up the goods at dawn, the publishers in this area told us newspaper guys to take out half of Men's Weekly and put it on the shelves, and hold the rest down and wait for it to be returned. ”
Huo Dongjun frowned: "You don't make a profit at the end?"
"The publisher makes up for us, Ah Jun, they have done a lot of this kind of thing before, and it is clear that some people are angry when they see you making money, so they are ready to follow the trend with the distribution association, suppress the sales of your magazines, and force you to give us back, the market is insufficient, and they will launch new magazines to supplement the market, you be careful." ”
"Do you know the name and background of the publisher in this area?" Huo Dongjun asked Ge Qian.
Ge Qian lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "The publisher's name is Liao Guoxing, and I have never heard of it, he was born as a newsboy and has been doing newspapers and magazines for many years. ”
"How many copies of this issue of Men's Magazine do you have?" Huo Dongjun asked as he handed Ge Qian a red Wan and lit it for him.
"It's the same as the second issue, there are only nine copies, I estimate it's the same as last week, and it will be sold out in one day?" Ge Qian took a puff of his cigarette and said to Huo Dongjun.
Huo Dongjun nodded, that is to say, the distribution association suppressed at least 100,000 copies of "Men's Weekly" in this issue, and forced himself to return to the end of the weekend, Huo Dongjun didn't think that the magazine would not be followed, as long as you do well, someone must follow, but Huo Dongjun didn't expect that the magazine would be so filthy, suppressing the number of opponents, vacating the market, and waiting for his own magazine to replenish.
"I know ex-uncle, thank you. Huo Dongjun patted the back of the black boy and thanked him.
"Be careful yourself, although these people don't come out to mix, but once a scholar does something bad, he will rob money more fiercely than the community, and his methods will be more poisonous than the community!" Ge Qian took a cigarette and turned around to leave.
When Huo Dongjun returned to the office, Liang Jiarong asked, "What is the old man just now?"
Huo Dongjun smiled: "An uncle from a housing estate, an old neighbor, a newspaper guy here, Li En?"
Hearing Huo Dongjun call his name, Li En, who was packing his briefcase and preparing to go out to patrol the stall, raised his head: "Jun Shao, you call me?"
"Someone in the distribution association wants to suppress our volume and force us to eat back, but if you can't check it, it's a ghost on the side?" Huo Dongjun didn't shy away from the others in the office, and asked directly.
Hearing Huo Dongjun's words, Photographer Wei, who was playing with the new camera, Taishan, who replied to the reader's mailbox, and Xiaoxin, who was holding a triangular ruler, all raised their heads to look at Huo Dongjun, their income was the highest in Hong Kong's newspaper industry at this time, and now someone is making a ghost to cut off their hoses, and they all stopped their movements and listened to Huo Dongjun say.
"Pressure? Pressure is an empty market warehouse, readers want to see our books, but they don't buy them, do they want to make the same salty and wet magazine?" Li En said to Huo Dongjun: "It must be, someone colluded with the distribution association to suppress our volume, it must be to empty the market of this issue, and they will publish their own magazines as soon as possible to fill in the volume." ”
Huo Dongjun looked at Liang Jiarong: "Find a line to come out, check that it's a ghost." ”
Liang Jiarong nodded: "If you know Jun Shao, you must find out as soon as possible." ”
"Do you know that the warehouse of the Distribution Association is on the side?" Huo Dongjun looked at the police station parking lot outside the door with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Lai Chi Kok, Cheung Sha Wan, where the Distribution Association has a dedicated storage point for distribution and tailing. Liang Jiarong looked at Huo Dongjun: "Jun Shao, should you talk to them and let them release the goods?"
"No, since they pressed the goods, we will print them and tell the printing house to print 100,000 more copies. Huo Dongjun flicked the cigarette ash and said.
"Can't you eat it when you print it out?" Liang Jiarong didn't know why it was going to be printed now, and the distribution association made it clear that it wanted to suppress the volume, and if it was printed, they would not stock up on the distribution association, and the 100,000 copies would have to be taken back by the magazine itself.
Huo Dongjun sighed, rubbed Zippoo and said, "You can find out which distribution line colluded with the magazine to suppress us, and you will know the rest in two days." ”
......
Huo Dongjun left the magazine office and took a taxi directly to Xiumaoping, where Dabilin had already carved out a piece of land in Xiumaoping, although there was no oil and water, but the children's party on Xiumaoping Street had gathered a lot.
"Big nose!" Huo Dongjun got out of the taxi and saw that Big Nose Lin was arranging some younger brothers to set up A stalls in Xiumaoping Market.
The big nose forest turned around, saw Huo Dongjun, asked the younger brother to continue to order, and walked over and said, "Brother Jun, why are you willing to come to this ghost place to visit me today?"
"So diligent? A stall?" Huo Dongjun pointed to two stalls, one selling leather bags and the other buying clothes.
Big-nosed Lin smiled: "There's nothing to do on this street, so take some goods from the black boy and let them do it, something has happened?"
"Find a few underage younger brothers, go to Lai Chi Kok in Cheung Sha Wan at night and pretend to play with flame rats, and burn down the warehouse of the distribution association. Huo Dongjun opened his mouth softly and said to the big nose forest.
Big-nosed Lin was stunned for a few seconds before he spoke, "Arson?"
"Surprised?" Huo Dongjun said as he looked at the big nose forest.
Big Nose Lin shook his head: "I'm not shocked, it's just arson......
"Bian said that it was arson, accidentally playing with flame rats to ignite it, find a few underage children's party, preferably the kind that has entered the boys' home, experienced in dealing with bad guys, no need to run away, obediently surrender, 10,000 yuan per person to settle in, Tangkou to help them find a lawyer, the children's home will come out in a few months, and let them leave Xiu Mau Ping to go to the horse pen in Kwun Tong after they come out, I said. Huo Dongjun rubbed his nose and said, I may have been in the bathroom with Guan Xiumei for too long last night, and I was a little cold, and my nose was a little itchy.
"I know Brother Jun, and when the time comes, I will arrange for them to go and watch them do it. The big nose forest thought about the candidate for a while and spoke.
"Remember to let them bring a few horses, pretend to take the horses to Cheung Sha Wan for a ride, this matter, except for the one who took the lead, the other little brothers don't talk about it, let them think that they are all wrong to set fire, if you go, don't show up, watch them do it from a distance, and when the strip comes, you will flash. Huo Dongjun said: "You don't need to prepare too much fire and water, so as not to show your feet, that warehouse is full of magazines, let them put flame rats in, put more mice." ”
"Got it, Brother Jun, which magazine is in that warehouse?" asked Bignose Lin curiously.
"Mine, 100,000 copies of Men's Weekly. Huo Dongjun smiled at the big nose forest, looked at the dozen or so little brothers in the distance, and spoke.
......
"Brother Jun, last night I crossed the line and made trouble. Chen Dong saw Huo Dongjun drinking soda in the cold drink shop, walked in and said, "Are you looking for someone to step back and sweep a few fields for him?"
"What is the fat and strong doing?" Huo Dongjun asked as he bit the straw and looked up at Chen Dong.
Chen Dong opened a bottle of soda and sat opposite Huo Dongjun: "After that street left last night, in the second half of the night, the horse pens on our Yunshui Street were swept away, and the four younger brothers were sent to the hospital with a knife, but there were no casualties." ”
"Hey, are you ready for 70,000 yuan?" Huo Dongjun listened to Chen Dong's words, but talked about the handover.
Chen Dong was a little strange asked by Huo Dongjun, but he still said: "Ready, I will wait for you to go to Ah Gong at any time to pay the number." ”
"That's it, fat and strong, strong and strong, more than a thousand little brothers, our field was swept away, of course, we have to talk to Ah Gong first, ask him to come forward, call Iron Snake or Le Zai to drive, and send us across the sea to Wan Chai to see Ah Gong. Huo Dongjun threw away the straw and said to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong blinked, last night Huo Dongjun said to himself that he was going to clean up the fat alone, and now he changed his mind to see Heixing?
"Okay. Chen Dong turned his head and asked Iron Snake to drive, and then asked Huo Dongjun, "Didn't you go to see Da Fei Chen last night?"
"Bentley. Huo Dongjun smiled brightly.
Chen Dong looked at Huo Dongjun and said: "I ask you, are you having a bad brain, Bentley? Do you think you are one of those bankers? Come out and mix GTR If it weren't for Porsche, you would be a Ferrari if you had more money, and those beautiful girls would be not interested in driving a Bentley." ”
"Give it away, I'll just drive it myself for a few days. Huo Dongjun didn't care that Chen Dong knew his motive for buying a car, and said.
"Give it away, so bold, send Bentley?" Rao is Chen Dong couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the world, even if it was a smuggled car, Bentley would be four or five hundred thousand at the cheapest, seven or eight hundred thousand for some better, and give it away with a car of hundreds of thousands?
"Is it for the tenth brother of Xinji Dragon?"
Huo Dongjun glared at Chen Dong: "Tenth brother needs me to send it? Xinji's protection fee for a year is more than 100 million, not counting the side doors of fans and gambling stalls, of course it will give it to someone who can give me benefits! Tenth brother can give me the benefits of ghosts? It is possible to swallow our territory! You can't guess, go see Ah Gong!"
