Chapter 247: Situation Reversal

The sales volume of "Xi" far exceeded Phoenix's expectations. Five days after its release, the total sales volume of this magazine was close to 10 million copies, and its popularity has not stopped. The gap that "Weekly Boy" was widened by "Weekly Best" was quickly filled.

The new magazine was popular when it opened, and Ye Xiong and others were convinced by Meng Huo. The length of the magazine that they were originally worried about was now turned into praise.

"One Piece" is popular, "Xi" is popular, and He Xi has two signs at a time. Not to mention in the comics industry, even the novel industry is unprecedented. Even Li Ming, editor-in-chief of Longteng Company, called to express his congratulations.

"Menghuo, these are all yours!"

That night, Alice drove to Jiayuan Community and then took a bunch of things out of the car.

“What are these?”

Meng Huo stood at the door and asked curiously.

"This is a letter from some readers." Alice took out a big bag and put it aside: "Actually, it's okay to give it to you, but I'm afraid you're too disconnected from society and readers. You can pass the time by reading the letter occasionally..."

"The others are gifts and congratulations from the company's employees, you can take a look." Alice pointed to the other side, five or six bags filled with various gifts. The corners of her mouth curled up: "There are also my gifts inside, and there is no name written. See if you can find them."

Meng Huo looked at the bags and his head was dizzy.

"Don't let me guess, I can't guess." He shook his head and said, "Also, why do the company's employees give me a gift, it's not a birthday."

"Because of "Savory" comic..." Alice smiled and lifted the bag beside her: "Let's take it in!"

She and Meng Huo walked into the room with bags. Li Qin came out and poured her a glass of water. Alice thanked her. Then she sat on the sofa and began to explain to Meng Huo.

"Because of "Savvy", the company raised the salary of many employees, and they gave you gifts."

Alice told the story with a smile that this new magazine has had a great impact on Phoenix Company. Phoenix's foundation has always been magazines, and most of its business is based on magazines.

Before this, "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" were the influential comic platforms of Phoenix Company. Other comic artists had to debut from this platform and then gain popularity before they could release single-line books.

The emergence of "Xi" gave Phoenix Company the third comic magazine, which is a milestone for the company. Even if only He Xi is publishing serials on it now, no one may have the future events. Other cartoonists may have the opportunity to appear in this magazine. He Xi can't draw the magazine every month, right?

"And... the sales of One Piece have eliminated the gap between you and Li Xin. Congratulations."

Alice congratulated Meng Huo. She was very happy. No matter how confident she was, Alice was really worried that Meng Huo would lose and go to the UK.

"Thank you." Meng Huo smiled, but he was very rational and felt that he could not take it lightly now: "It's too early to say this now. The sales model of "One Piece" is very similar to a single-line version, and it is not suitable for re-sale in the future. There is still suspense to the outcome."

This issue of "One Piece" is sold as a magazine, but it is not much different from a single version and will not be released again in the short term. This means that the final victory will be compared with the single version of "Detective Conan" and the single version of "Son of Detective".

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem." However, Alice was not nervous. She smiled and said, "The sales of One Piece are still increasing, which will widen a big sales gap. In the end, even if the single-line version of "Detective Conan" is not as high as that of "Son of Detective", the winner will be you."

"Will it increase sales?" Meng Huo was slightly surprised: "Will the sales of One Piece exceed 10 million copies?"

This was a bit beyond his expectations. The early plot of "One Piece" requires a long preparation, and it is already very satisfying to be able to sell 10 million copies. Unexpectedly, there is still an unexpected surprise.

"right……"

Alice chuckled softly: "Meng Huo, I didn't expect you to calculate it wrong. This time, "One Piece" is no worse than "Five Centimeters in Seconds". Its sales volume has increased rapidly, and it can at least surpass the sales volume of "Weekly Boutique" of 5 million."

"The distance that Zhongxia Company has been working hard for a month will be extended by you soon. When you release "Sigh" again next month, the result will be..."

———

"The result is that Teacher He Xi will lead by about 10 million copies, which is exactly the opposite of the previous situation."

Zhongxia Company, Wang Zhe reported data in Xiangyangliang.

"One Piece" has made up for the gap at an astonishing speed after its release. It is conservatively estimated that it will increase sales of 5 million. If "One Piece" repeats this process next month, "Son of the Detective" will be behind He Xi's sales of 10 million.

If Zhongxia Company has no other countermeasures, the single-line book of "Son of Detective" must exceed the sales of "Detective Conan", otherwise there will be no chance of winning.

However, "Detective Conan" is a popular and powerful serialized comic. Its single-line sales have always been at the forefront of the sales of China Comics. To exceed 10 million copies, it would be like a daydream.

Even though Zhongxia is confident in the quality of channels and "Son of the Detective", the current comics market is simply impossible for them to widen such a big sales gap.

More importantly, the popularity of "Detective Conan" has continued to rise recently. Without the constraints of "Weekly Boy", after it was released, its sales may not be worse than "Son of the Detective".

"how so……"

Yang Liang rubbed his eyebrows in distress. He lay on the chair, suddenly feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and even his anger disappeared.

"One Piece" emerged silently without too much media coverage, but the deterrence it brought was unprecedented. Yang Liang has not had a good sleep for several days. He watches "One Piece" sales data updates every day, watching it crush all the way, taking away the position of the first sales magazine of "Weekly Boutique".

"He Xi...he Xi..."

Yang Liang whispered, saying that this cartoonist was too amazing and he couldn't start. This shouldn't have been the case, and the sales of "Weekly Premium" should not be so poor. However, "One Piece" impacted the sales of "Weekly Premium", and the contrast between the two was very clear.

"The cartoonists in our entire company are not as good as He Xi!"

This thought echoed in Yang Liang's mind. He waved his hand and asked Wang Zhe to retreat. After there was no one in the office, Yang Liang picked up the phone on the table and called Yanjing's headquarters.

"Chairman..."

"Yes, I gave up... He Xitian, the wizards, has no way to resist... Sherlock's animation help is not as huge as imagined... I think it is a wrong decision to compete with Phoenix in the same city... Well, try harder?"
