Chapter 508: Joys and Sorrows
Seeing the eldest prince's question, his subordinates immediately bowed down and replied: "I checked it three times in total, and it was all thirty-eight thousand and twenty-one volumes!"
"How can this be?" the Great Prince and the Great Emperor glanced at each other, their expressions full of puzzlement.
"What about the Stars Monthly?" the eldest prince immediately asked again.
"Less than half a day...... One million copies sold out!" the subordinate hesitated to answer.
"What?" With their long-standing calmness, they can't control the fluctuations of their feelings at this moment, and the gap is too big. This time, the emperor finally didn't hold back, and stood up all of a sudden, and the same did with the great prince, who suddenly stood up.
The subordinates were so frightened that their voices trembled: "Less than half a day......
"How can it be so bad?" Before his subordinates could finish speaking, the Emperor let out a sigh. This result was not expected by him. Originally, I thought that the Imperial Monthly was crushing the Star Monthly, but now it is completely reversed, and it is so completely crushed.
"Jiang Xingchen!" The eldest prince's eyes suddenly shrank, he couldn't understand what means Jiang Xingchen used, and why the result was so bad. The more unknown it is, the more frightening it becomes. Unconsciously, a shadow cast on the eldest prince's heart.
"Bring me a copy of the fifth issue of the Star Monthly at once!" the Emperor commanded in a low voice, he wanted to see, the problem was what was.
The subordinates hurriedly withdrew, neither the emperor nor the prince spoke, and the hall fell into a dead silence.
Completely different from the oppressive atmosphere here of the Great Emperor, in the lord's mansion of the Star Lord. Jiang Xingchen was chuckling.
The Great Emperor didn't know what the reason was, but Jiang Xingchen knew it. Hardware-wise, Imperial Monthly did not have movable type printing. No matter how good the handwriting is, it doesn't look as good as the print. First of all, from this intuitive impression, the Empire Monthly has disappointed people.
The most important thing is the content aspect. The Imperial Monthly is a model of the Star Monthly, and even spends money to create jousting tournaments and amusement parks.
However, these things simply don't attract people. You must know that the chess and card competition of Xingchen Ling has been warmed up, and it has been constantly publicized before, and it has always aroused people's interest. And chess and cards are really addictive, which has caused the popularity of chess and card competitions, and people are scrambling to know the results.
But the tournament was not warmed up at all. It is already commonplace for the major families to compare martial arts, and of course they are not interested in it. The amusement park is also left over from Jiang Xingchen's play, and there are a few who are interested.
Another important factor is advertising, too many ads take up a large space. Who wants to spend money to watch ads. From this point of view. People in both worlds are the same.
In addition, Jiang Xingchen has put a lot of effort into the content of this fifth issue, which is all eye-catching things. Of course, this is the result.
Originally, the gimmick of the first issue of the Imperial Monthly had already attracted enough eyeballs, and as long as the Emperor grasped the essence of the monthly magazine and studied more topics that people were interested in, it would be quite easy to sell well.
However, for people in this world, media publicity is a completely new thing. Even with the emperor's martial arts, he doesn't know how to analyze people's hearts. The result of blind imitation. Of course, this huge gap was formed.
In the lord's mansion at this time, not only Jiang Xingchen was laughing again, but Grandpa Fu was also laughing. He had been worried for a long time before, afraid that the success of the Imperial Monthly would suppress the Star Monthly. Then one of their important channels of making money will be cut off.
But when the result came, he didn't believe his ears at the time, is this the Imperial Monthly, which is optimistic about the whole country, this is also too bad......
After a while, someone from the Lord's Mansion came again, and Wanrou came.
"Brother, are you really going to prepare for a brand new show again?" Wanrou asked directly as soon as she entered the door, her expression a little excited.
In fact, Zijing's performances have never been interrupted, some in their own territory, and some invited to all parts of the country.
However, these performances are all several song and dance troupes under Bauhinia Entertainment, and Wanrou, as the manager of Bauhinia Entertainment, has not performed by herself for a long time. Bauhinia Entertainment now has more than 100 people, and there are so many things that she simply doesn't have time to make new tracks.
This time, seeing Jiang Xingchen publish such news in the monthly magazine, she knew that Jiang Xingchen was ready to create again, and of course she was excited.
"Yes, there is this idea, but it will not work in a short time, a new form must have a new musical instrument! I have to study it for a while, and now I will publish it, just to whet the reader's appetite!" Jiang Xingchen replied with a smile.
"It doesn't matter how long it takes, you just have this plan!" Wanrou nodded happily, Bauhinia Entertainment wants to develop, and it is not possible to always perform old repertoire.
Wanrou got the answer and just left, and several major restaurants came to her again. Of course, they also saw the news in the monthly magazine.
Jiang Xingchen explained again, telling them to wait at least until the first anniversary celebration of Xinzhen to study the new dishes.
Then, Zhao Danqing and the old man all ran over and asked him if the person who ate half a catty of soil a day was real. They were most interested in this kind of strange thing.
When Jiang Xingchen nodded in confirmation, the two were so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut for a long time, and at first they thought that the news in the monthly magazine was fooling.
"The world is so big, there are no surprises!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile, and then made a pretend that I know more than you.
The old man and Zhao Danqing despised Jiang Xingchen fiercely, and then left......
After everyone left, Grandpa Fu smiled and said, "This time to defeat the Imperial Monthly, I believe that no one will compete with us anymore!"
Jiang Xingchen shook his head with a smile: "It's still very early to defeat the Imperial Monthly...... Now the battle has just begun!"
"Uh!" Grandpa Fu was stunned when he heard this, the sales situation of the Imperial Monthly was obviously a complete failure.
Jiang Xingchen said: "The emperor can't afford to lose this face......
"Is there anything else the Emperor can do in such a situation?" Grandpa Fu asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, look at it, you'll know soon......" Jiang Xingchen didn't elaborate, turned around and went back to the room, leaving Grandpa Fu who was meditating in the courtyard.
It was at this time that the results of the first collision of the two monthly magazines also spread rapidly throughout the empire.
Dafu came to the Xu family headquarters, Xu Yue finally let out a sigh, before he was really afraid that Xingchen Monthly would be defeated by this, in that case, even if there was black silk, even if there was a sewing machine, it would be difficult for them to turn over.
But now, there is no need to worry about it, Xingchen Monthly completely crushes the Imperial Monthly, and its influence will reach a higher level. Coupled with black silk and sewing machines, the era of great blessing in the clothing industry is coming.
It was not only Xu Yue who was excited, but also the children of the Xu family who changed their anxiety a few days ago, and they were all full of confidence. Xingchen Monthly completely crushed the Imperial Monthly, and the propaganda was unstoppable, and Ruixiang would fall at the feet of Dafulai sooner or later.
Some people are happy and some are sad, Dafu is happy, but the atmosphere in Ruixiang is a 180-degree turn from the previous two days. No one could have imagined that the collision of the Imperial Monthly and the Star Monthly would be such a result.
When they heard the news, the whole family was stunned, and there were four words in their heads: "This is impossible!"
Hong Anran sat on the chair of the main seat, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Those children of the Hong family are also stupid, they were all in the dream of dominating the empire's clothing industry before, but who knew that they would be hit such a heavy blow on the head.
"What should we do, what should we do?" All the children of the family who came back to their senses found Hong Anran, and asked him to make up his mind one by one.
"You guys are panicking!" Hong Anran coldly reprimanded: "What if the Imperial Monthly doesn't work, it's just a loss of one million advertising costs, we can still dry up the Great Fortune, at most it will take a longer time!"
Hong Anran shouted, the children of the Hong family finally came to their senses, and after thinking about it carefully, the head of the family was right.
However, losing one million at once, the Hong family was all in pain, this is not a small amount, it is almost equivalent to the property of some middle-level nobles.
Hong Anran also felt uncomfortable, the imperial monthly magazine failed, and his dream of dominating the clothing industry was on the verge of shattering. Although he is sure to defeat Shen Da Fulai, but Shuangheng, it is a garment industry giant that is not below them.
Soon the news spread across the country, although the result was beyond the expectations of most people. But the excitement of people is even higher.
The most talked about, of course, are the comptoirs that advertise in the Imperial Monthly.
"Hahahaha...... It's interesting this time, the Imperial Monthly has been defeated, and those trading houses are estimated to have lost all their money!"
"No, a million advertising dollars, no matter how big a business bank is, it is estimated that you will have to vomit blood!"
"Needless to say, when Xingchen led the demon beast feast, what about a million pieces of twenty-five demon beast and demon beast meat......"
As people have said, all the firms that advertise in the Empire Monthly have the heart to cry. Who the hell knew that this would be the result, just watching the merchants who advertised in the Star Monthly made money, and they also wanted to make a fortune when the Imperial Monthly was released, but now, ......
The proprietors of those trading houses shouted in their hearts: "Why is the gap so big because they run monthly magazines......?"
There are joys and sorrows, these commercial banks are so depressed that they vomit blood, Ruifeng, Shuntong, and the three commercial houses of Jufu are happy.
"Thankfully, the Imperial Monthly refused to advertise from us, otherwise we would have to be like those pennies...... Hahahaha, it's so comfortable! Your own happiness is really based on the pain of others......"
At this time, in the main hall of the imperial palace, the eldest prince suddenly said: "Father, we can't just admit it, the loss is small, and we can't afford to lose the prestige of the royal family." If you just die down this time, who will take you seriously in the future!"
The Great Emperor narrowed his eyes, of course he knew the power of this, and he also knew that what the Great Prince said was true. But the current star collar, in the final analysis, is that it can't be beaten or touched! It can only be used by other means, a little bit of restriction.
After pondering for a long time, the Emperor asked, "Do you have any solution?" (To be continued......
