Chapter 479： Sinister little devil

"Yes, I specially asked people to study the development of "Zhiyin Manke". The threat of this comic magazine is too great. According to the authoritative ranking statistics of the Comic Association, the weekly circulation of "Zhiyin Manke" has been It reached 920,000 copies, surpassing the "Great Voyage" of the New Library, and ranked ninth."

The president of Shueisha, Ai Kaichiro said seriously.

The authoritative rankings mentioned by Ichiro Aiga are very accurate. They are compiled by the Island Manga Association and updated weekly.

Yesterday he saw the ranking submitted by his subordinates. Shueisha's core manga magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" ranked second.

The top ten rankings in the latest issue are:

First: "Weekly Youth SUNDAY", with a weekly circulation of 2.82 million copies, affiliated to the Primary School, serializing the now popular island country "Fu Xing Boy".

Second: "Weekly Juvenile JUMP", with a weekly circulation of 254 copies, affiliated to Shueisha.

Third: "Weekly Shonen MAGAZINE", with a weekly circulation of 2.03 million copies, under the Kodansha.

Fourth: "Weekly Manga", with a weekly circulation of 1.51 million copies, affiliated to Futaba, and has been serializing "Lupin the Third", an island nation-level comic.

Fifth: "Flowers and Dreams", with a weekly circulation of 1.4 million copies, belonging to the Baiquan Society.

Sixth: "Weekly Youth", with a weekly circulation of 1.2 million copies, belonging to Akita Bookstore.

Seventh: "Weekly Comics", with a weekly circulation of 1.12 million copies, which is affiliated to Fangwenshe.

Eighth: "Young King", with a weekly circulation of 1 million copies, belonging to the Youth Pictorial.

Ninth: "Friends Manke", with a weekly circulation of 920,000 copies, belonging to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.

Tenth: "The Great Voyage", with a weekly circulation of 900,000 copies, under the New Library.

These statistics are all statistics of the comic market in island countries, and no statistics are included outside the island countries.

Not long ago, "Zhiyin Manke" for the first time squeezed out a comic magazine with a weekly circulation of 850,000 with a weekly circulation of 860,000, and rushed to the tenth place in the rankings, becoming very conspicuous and affecting instant qualitative changes.

Because this is the first foreign manga ever to enter the top ten of the island country's manga market.

The original comic magnate finally paid attention to it thoroughly, and had to take off the **** of "Milk Manke".

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for "Milk" to reach the ninth place, with a weekly circulation of 920,000 copies.

According to this rapid growth rate, the circulation of "Zhiyin Manke" reached one million copies in a short time.

Moreover, what the Aiga family pays more attention to is that market surveys found that the four comics of "Military Manke" are of particularly high quality, which has affected the reputation of their comic magazines. After all, the contrast is obvious. This is even not true for Aiga Ichiro and others. deny.

How can the Aiga family, who are the overlords of the comics industry, ignore it?

The best way is to take advantage of "Military Manke" is still weak, to buy it.

It's a pity that Jiuding Animation Company has not announced the sales of "Military Manke", so the Xianghe family did not know that "Military Manke" has sold more than one million in markets other than island countries.

Ma Tengdong directly rejected it because the price was too low.

Of course, the real reason is that "Zhiyin Manke" belongs to the core component of Xia Yu's cultural strategy and cannot be sold at all.

"If they don’t sell, then they can only suppress it. It just so happens that I have made a manga similar to "Pokemon". After blocking them, as long as there is a period of time, they can take away the market that originally belonged to them. ."

The president of Shiraisensha, Ruztaro, said in a cold voice.

"Then suppress it and grab the market. It just so happens that I also let someone study a comic with a similar style based on "Dragon Ball", and it's time to come out."

Aiga Yasuhiro nodded slightly and said directly that he was not only the president of the Shogakukan, but also the president of Hitotsubashi Group and the patriarch of the Aiga family.

After setting the tone, Aiga Kangping first came forward to contact the old opponent of the Otowa Group. After the statement was powerful, the Otowa Group immediately agreed to suppress "Mild Manke" together.

Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group are the only two superpowers in the publishing market in the island country. Although comics contribute more than one-fifth of their profits, their publication volume only accounts for less than one-seventh of them. They are in humanities and social sciences. The publication volume in other fields is also very large, and it has a strong say in major bookstores. It can be said that they are the parents of major bookstores.

"Zhiyin Manke" is just a comic magazine. It is spread to major bookstores. In fact, the sales volume will not account for much of the turnover, and the goods of the Hitotsubashi Group and the Otowa Group have gone.

Therefore, in order not to offend Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group, both agreed to no longer sell "Military Manke".

...

The island branch of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. sits on the ground in Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

"President, it's not good, something happened!"

Wu Tengjun, the head of the distribution department of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Island Branch, was too in a hurry and came to Ma Tengdong with solemn expression.

Ma Tengdong frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He patiently asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"President, a new issue of the magazine will be released the day after tomorrow, but so far, no dealer has placed an order with us!"

"Then I searched for five distributors in a row, but did not see the presidents of each distributor. Others shied away from the above decision and temporarily stopped ordering our magazines. The specific reason is still under investigation!"

Wu Tengjun lowered his head too deeply and said heavily, panicking in his heart, for fear of welcoming Ma Tengdong's thunderous anger.

After all, as the Minister of Distribution, he has an unshirkable responsibility for any problems with the distribution work for whatever reason.

However, the imaginary thunder anger did not vent to him. He raised his head slightly and saw the president Ma Tengdong frowning in thought at this time.

"They must have done it! Bastard!"

Ma Tengdong was furious, and a black hand appeared in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more certain he became.

Yiqiao Group came to him one after another, just wanting to buy Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. without his own efforts. Of course, Ma Tengdong refused to and he could not be the master.

Especially when facing his former boss, Ichiro Aiga, the president of Shueisha, Ma Tengdong did not give him a good look.

At the beginning of the Shueisha, there were many members of the Xianghe family holding important positions. Ma Tengdong knew exactly what virtue and position the Xianghe family was. As a Chinese, there was no need to mention how many grievances he suffered in it.

Ma Tengdong has to further determine whether it is the situation under conjecture.

Shaking his head slightly, Ma Tengdong stretched his brows, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

He was calling from a good friend of his who runs a bookstore.

"Hey, Mr. Moriya, this is Ma Tengdong, it's been a long time..."

"I want to ask... Okay, I understand very well, and I will contact you when I have time!"

After hanging up the phone, Ma Tengdong looked very ugly.

He guessed part of it, and it turned out that the One Bridge Group made the insidious trick, and the situation was even worse.

Not only the Yiqiao Group, but even the Otowa Group, its rival, also participated in the suppression.

His friend only opened two bookstores, and his strength was very small. Facing the opinions of the two food and clothing parents, the Hitotsubashi Group and the Otowa Group, they naturally did not dare not listen. Ma Tengdong also expressed his understanding.

Of course, maybe it was because I forgot to notify Ma Tengdong and felt guilty. Moriya also told Ma Tengdong that the latest issue of "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY", "Weekly Shonen JUMP" and other comic magazines appeared in styles similar to "Zhiyin Manke" "New comics from the top four comics.

This is what makes Ma Tengdong most angry.

The little devil is too sinister!

It was completely bullying, relying on its own strength to domineeringly suppress their company, and then took out a similar style of comics, to **** away the market that originally belonged to "Military Manke".

This method is too vicious! Shameless!

Too much deception!
