Chapter 507: This is the crushing
At the end of July, people's discussions became more lively, and the news that the Imperial Monthly was confirmed to be issued had been officially released by the Empire, and the news that more than 30 large commercial houses had grabbed advertising space also spread.
People were all shocked, although they didn't know the specific price of the advertising space, but the precedent of Xingchen Monthly was there. Even if it's less, how much less can it be.
"How much does this Nima get, one million for a trading house is 30 million, I'm dripping God, this money is too easy to come by!"
"So many big trading houses have found the Imperial Monthly, it seems that the Star Monthly is really dangerous this time!"
"This is not necessarily, when did Jiang Xingchen not make a backhand in the end! Didn't you see that there is no movement in Xingchen Collar now, maybe it is still the same as the previous times!"
"What was the situation the first few times, what was the situation this time. This monthly, it is run by the empire, and it would be strange if Jiang Xingchen could win, and the advertising space would be the most illustrative. If nothing else, I'm going to buy a copy when the Imperial Monthly comes out......"
"That's right, I think so too, Xingchen Monthly is definitely not an opponent this time......."
Originally, people have always been optimistic about the Imperial Monthly, and this time the news of the advertising space came out, and the wind direction was even more biased towards the Empire. Even Bauhinia's fans are not confident anymore, this time the opponent is too strong.
All the firms that have invested in advertising space are laughing, as if they see a large number of citrine coins in front of them, and they can grab them as soon as they reach out.
Ruixiang's people laughed crazy when they learned that their family had successfully landed on the advertising position, and they admired the head of the family, Hong Anran, and couldn't wait to express all the words of praise.
Hong Anran happily enjoyed the praise of the children of the family. It was as if the great feat of unifying the empire's clothing industry was about to be realized.
The Xu family is even more worried, now they can't do anything, they can only wait silently. Waiting for Jiang Xingchen's movements, waiting for black silk, waiting for the appearance of the sewing machine.
Other businesses that have spent money on advertisements in Xingchen Monthly, Ruifeng, Shuntong, and Jufu are also extremely nervous. The Imperial Monthly seems to have deliberately excluded them, not giving them a chance to be on the advertising slot at all. At this point, they were really embarrassed. Originally, it was advertised in Xingchen Month, but it turned out to be the Imperial Monthly, who would have thought that people would not accept it. It gives them the feeling that they are not human on either side.
If only Jiang Xingchen knew what they thought. Maybe I'll die laughing. It is your freedom to advertise wherever you are, who cares about you, is it true that if you advertise in my place, you will be labeled as a monthly magazine of the stars. Which ad in the last life was not broadcast on multiple TV stations.
In the midst of this constant discussion. It was early August. No more news came out during this period. But people faintly feel a hint of solemnity in the spread and increase. It's like watching a game, and neither side of the duel moves, but the audience can see that the accumulated strength of both sides is constantly rising, and when it reaches the apex, it is a thunderous blow.
On August 10th, the long-awaited thunderous blow finally arrived. The fifth issue of the Stellar Monthly was first released, followed by the first issue of the Imperial Monthly.
"It's on!" the crowd was excitedly waiting for the results, and many of them went to the point of sale, and they were greeted by the sea of people.
"This is the point of sale for the Imperial Monthly. With so many people, this time they're really going to win!"
"I just don't know what happened to Xingchen Monthly?"
"It can't be hotter than here...... Let's go buy a copy too. There must be a lot of news about the first monthly magazine of the Empire!" the people who came after said that they were going to squeeze in.
But they had barely taken two steps when they heard a commotion from inside.
"What is this Nima, why is it all copied?"
"The empire is about to hold a martial arts competition, and the imperial capital will also build an amusement park, please see the imperial monthly magazine for details, and this is the end?"
"I'm the second Ao, what kind of monthly magazine is this Nima, a total of eight pages, six pages are advertising ......"
In the noise, most of the crowd dispersed in a moment, and they all walked away shaking their heads.
The people at the point of sale were stupid, they really couldn't understand how the people who were all in high spirits just now and were ready to rush to buy changed their faces and left.
When the people came to the front, they looked at the handwriting on the book, and their interest immediately disappeared. Although the handwriting is very good, it can't be compared with other people's Xingchen Monthly, and the unified handwriting of others is neat. What are you guys, don't you see that the words in the two monthly magazines are not the same size?
Then look at the advertising slogan, and they are even less interested. There are competitions within the families of the nobles almost every year, and they are all tired of competing. Even if the Empire's specifications are relatively high, they will not go out to see a competition. But the civilians don't know martial arts at all, so let them spend money to go to the imperial capital to watch the martial arts competition, isn't this nonsense.
The amusement park is good, but you might as well write down the project and make an introduction, who knows if you copied other people's stars...... That's right, Nima has eight pages in total, and you have six pages of ads, so how can you have a place to introduce the project? But you don't have to think about it to know that the amusement park project must be copied from other people's stars.
"It's boring, I thought there were more new Imperial Monthly, but the result was too disappointing!"
"Let's go, let's go and see the fifth issue of Xingchen Monthly, it must be stronger than this......"
In the stunned eyes of the owner and the men of the sales point, the door changed from bustling to deserted in a short period of time.
"How...... Will this happen?" people at the point of sale were all stunned by this reality.
On the other hand, the point of sale of Scorpion Monthly is the opposite.
The fifth issue of Xingchen Monthly has just been released, and the first to come are Bauhinia fans, and there are not a lot of them.
This made the proprietors of the shops who had been careful about sales finally breathed a sigh of relief, some time ago the Imperial Monthly was in a uproar, and they were really worried that the Star Monthly would not work.
But now, with the unconditional support of Bauhinia fans, they can be regarded as relieved. Even if the sales volume is not as good as the previous issues, at least it will not be too miserable.
"Bauhinia Entertainment's new interpretation will open after the autumn harvest, with novelty events from all over the country, a major change in the clothing industry. New food experiences, and stories that will shake your heart...... 一qiē is all in the fifth issue of Xingchen Monthly. ”
But less than half a month later, the owners of these shops were shocked. The number of people coming is increasing. Soon surpassed the number of Bauhinia fans, and then everyone squeezed it into sauce.
"Wow! Bauhinia is finally going to launch a brand new show, so happy!"
"What are the novelties from all over the country, it looks interesting!"
"A story that shakes the heart, what is this ......"
An exclamation came from the crowd of Bauhinia fans at the front, and the people who came from the Imperial Monthly in the back scratched their hearts and squeezed in desperately one by one. Want to snap up a copy.
Soon after, people flipped through the monthly magazine of the stars in their hands, and their faces were full of satisfied smiles.
"Look at the handwriting of other people's Xingchen Monthly. It looks so comfortable, it's so much better than what they copied!"
"It's just, I've always thought that the Imperial Monthly was so good, but you look at what the hell it's about! Who the hell would run the emperor to watch the martial arts competition. It's not interesting!"
"In addition to advertisements or advertisements, we spend money to buy advertisements to watch!"
"Look at the new interpretation of Bauhinia, I don't know what it is, whether Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou will star!"
"Definitely, can't you advertise it like that!"
"Look at this, a civilian in Furong Town, under the jurisdiction of the Dongjiang Territory, eats half a catty of soil every day. Is this Nima real......"
"What do you mean by the heavy dà costume revolution?"
"I'm still interested in new food experiences, and I guess Xingchenling has a new diet. Calculate the time. It's been almost a year since their new town was built, and it's time for a food festival. I must go again this time......"
While people laughed, the owner of the shop also laughed, this time the sales were even more popular than the chess and card contest supplement, and all the monthly magazines were sold out in less than half a day.
The people in the shops here are laughing, and the people in the shops on the other side of the Imperial Monthly are crying, and less than 200 copies were sold in one morning, which ......
And those who had been waiting to see the excitement were all shocked, no one thought that this would be the case, they had expected that the Imperial Monthly would probably crush the Star Monthly.
But now the situation is completely reversed, it is still crushing, but it is the Star Monthly that crushes the Imperial Monthly. In the same big city, the sales volume of nearly 15,000 copies is less than the sales of less than 200 copies, and the crushing is too fierce.
Bauhinia's fans laughed, reading the monthly magazine of Xingchen in public, and let out exclamations from time to time.
Those who used to talk about the Stars Monthly couldn't do it, and they felt that their faces were slapped by others, and they didn't dare to speak. Especially those who said before that they were looking forward to the Imperial Monthly and wanted to buy a copy of this kind of thing, when they saw the people they were chatting with, they basically avoided walking......
In the palace hall of the imperial capital, Emperor Qiankun sat quietly on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his hand gently knocked on the table.
Before he started, the eldest prince didn't say a word, and sat calmly on the chair. Both of them are waiting for the results of the sales count.
There was a sound of footsteps, and a man in black ran in, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Emperor Qiqi, the statistical results of various places are out." ”
The Emperor's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he said in a deep voice: "Speak!"
"Thirty-eight thousand twenty-one volumes in total!"
"What?" the Emperor jerked upward, almost unable to stand up.
"Thirty-eight thousand twenty-one in all!" said the man in black again.
"Why so little?" the eldest prince's eyebrows also flashed with a hint of surprise. This is far from what they had expected. For the publication of this monthly magazine, they specially designed and held a martial arts competition, gave quite rich rewards, and even had official positions. It is a chess and card competition that imitates the star collar.
Worried that a martial arts competition would not be attractive enough, he also prepared to build a new amusement park in accordance with the style of the star collar.
But they never expected that only more than 38,000 copies were sold at nearly 100 sales outlets across the country, and the average number of sales points was less than 400 copies.
"Even if there is no news of the tournament, it is impossible to sell so little just by virtue of the gimmick of the first issue of the Imperial Monthly......" The eldest prince muttered, and said in a deep voice: "Is the statistics wrong!" (to be continued......
