Chapter 89 "Comic World"
A great man once said.
The most despairing thing in a person's life is that school is about to start, but you haven't written a single word of your winter vacation homework...
It hurts! It hurts so much!
Dear teacher, why... why do you assign so much homework?
Liu Xing was a little broken.
After the New Year, he has been "working hard" at home for three consecutive days, but there is still a lot of winter vacation homework, which has not decreased at all.
Who can withstand this?
You must know that it is already mid-February, and there is only about a week left before the spring semester starts. If he wants to finish the remaining homework, he may not even have to sleep this week.
"Deserve it!"
Xia Yu smiled brightly and said: "Who told you to be lazy and fool around with the mouse and keyboard every day during the holidays and not do your homework?"
"I was..."
Just when he was about to refute Xiao Yu, before he finished speaking, Liu Xing suddenly remembered.
yes!
He played with Mouse and Keyboard during the holidays, so he didn't do any homework, but he didn't do any homework on Mouse and Keyboard either. Why don't you see them in a hurry?
Could it be that……
Someone secretly finished writing it?
Liu Xing, who was worried that he had no homework to copy, couldn't sit still when he thought of this. He quickly climbed to the computer and found the mouse through the button.
"I'm dizzy, mouse, what are you doing?"
"I'm stepping on your space, what's the matter? Remember to step back if you have nothing to do, and help me water the water..."
I pour peat!
Liu Xing made a sweaty emoji and immediately asked: "Have you finished your winter vacation homework?"
"You haven't finished writing?"
"You shouldn't! Just copy the reference answer and you'll be done in one night!" the mouse replied.
Reference answer?!
Liu Xing's eyes were confused.
Wasn't this thing torn up by the teacher as soon as the winter vacation homework was handed out? Where did the mouse get the reference answer?
"This is not easy! Buy it!"
"If you go to the Teaching Assistant Bookstore and buy the same winter vacation homework, won't there be reference answers at the end?" Mouse said with a look of disdain.
Liu Xing: "..."
Learned a lot!
Could it still be done like this?
"No more talking, I'm going to have dinner at 7!"
After explaining the source of the reference answer, the mouse went offline quickly. Seeing his "abandoned by the world" avatar slowly turning gray, Liu Xing also turned off the computer.
Target, the bookstore!
Because she had just received a sum of lucky money during the Chinese New Year, Liu Xing was very confident and did not need to ask her parents for money at all.
Of course, he didn't dare to ask for it.
If Liu Donghai and Xia Mei knew that he used money to buy winter vacation homework just for the convenience of copying the answers, they would definitely kill him.
After rushing to the bookstore and finding the "winter vacation homework" she needed on the teaching aid bookshelf, Liu Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No need to worry now!
There are reference answers, and the remaining homework can only be completed in two days at most... Oh no, it can be done in one day! The big stone that was weighing on my heart finally fell.
"Wow even!"
"so smart?"
Just when he was about to turn around and go to the checkout counter to check out and quickly finish copying the answers when he got home, an exclamation came from the next door, which caught Liu Xing's attention.
What the hell?
He turned around and saw that it was a group of children about the same age as him, gathered in the "comics area", each holding a magazine and reading with gusto.
Liu Xing was very curious.
He took a closer look and found that the strange book that made everyone exclaim and make various "weird" sounds from time to time was actually a comic magazine.
The name is "Comics World"!
On the cover is a beautiful girl character that I have never seen before, and next to it is a Pleasant Goat wearing a gold medal, which looks very attractive.
Liu Xing also picked up a book and read it.
A slightly confused crybaby - Tsukino Usagi, the black cat Luna with a crescent moon pattern on her forehead, the evil dark kingdom, Sailor Moon in a sailor suit...
The vivid characters and wonderful stories made Liu Xing excited.
"Sailor Moon?"
Before finishing the first episode, Liu Xing decided to buy this comic magazine, took it home and read it slowly.
Because he found out.
In addition to "Sailor Moon", which made him feel bright, this magazine actually also serialized "Sheep and Sheep Games".
Now, I had to buy it!
…
The "Manga World" weekly comic magazine, with Nantong as editor-in-chief and published by Wanbao Comics, was launched on February 15th.
Because it has just been published, there are not many comics serialized in the magazine.
In addition to the new work "Sheep Games" written by Nantong Sensei, and "Sailor Moon" written by a beautiful cartoonist from Neon, there is only one submitted work.
The name is "The Legend of Pea Laughter".
That's right, in the first issue of "Comics World" magazine, only these three comic works were serialized.
It sounds like a small number, but the actual number of pages is close to 100, and it is not too thin when bound.
Then here comes the problem!
How much should such an issue of "Comics World" magazine be priced at?
The price that Gu Miao initially negotiated with Teacher Nantong was 5 yuan per book, to occupy the market at a low price, and it would not be too late to raise the price later.
But Nantong believes that the price is too low.
The comic magazine they want to create is not the kind of magazine that "wins by quantity", but "wins by quality." This means that their manuscript fees are very high, and the price of a single volume is five yuan, which is impossible to pay back.
Book.
But pricing too high is not okay.
If it is sold too expensively, fewer people will buy it, and sales will definitely not be high. So after comprehensive consideration, we finally decided to price it at 10 yuan per issue.
This is no problem.
The price is 10 yuan per copy. If the sales volume is 100,000 copies, excluding the costs of printing, typesetting, transportation, sales and other channels, the author can be paid.
What if it exceeds 100,000 copies?
That’s a lot of money!
"How about the sales of the first issue?"
Ma Kui chewed gum and asked curiously: "We spent money on a promotion, the sales shouldn't be bad, right?"
"It's not ugly."
Gu Miao explained: "Although it has not reached 100,000 copies, there are still more than 80,000 copies. For the newly launched "Comics World", this result is already very good."
80,000 copies is not a small amount.
Even Zhiyin Manke, which was in its heyday, did not sell so many copies when it was first published. What's more, it has only been sold for a few days?
When "Manga World" releases a new issue next week, the sales volume of the first issue may have exceeded 100,000 copies.
After all, this is only the first issue.
After publishing a few more issues and establishing a fixed base of readers, sales can basically stabilize at more than 100,000 copies. Even if you are bolder, it is not impossible to surpass "Zhiyin Manke".
Even though "Zhiyin Manke" has been published for so many years, there are so many serialized comics, but to be honest, the overall quality is not very high.
Being able to become the leader of domestic comic magazines is nothing more than...
It’s just a foil to my peers!
Before Wanbao's "Comics World" was launched, Gu Miao also bought a few other comic magazines and took a look.
have to say……
These opponents are really bad, and the quality of the comic series is far inferior to Wanbao's "Comic World".
Chapter completed!
