Qingwan Bookstore opened at 7 a.m. In order to sell "Son of the Detective" and "Detective Conan", the staff of the Bookstore built temporary book sales points in the square outside.

This is a routine in the bookstore. Whenever a popular work is released, they will use the square to disperse the purchase of the people and hold some interesting activities.

Today's event is: readers who purchase two comics "Detective Conan" and "Detective Sherlock" can draw for free once and have the opportunity to get a five-day tour of the Sea Sky Villa.

"This activity...is ordinary..."

Lin Qi shook her head. This is not a good activity, because it is too common and does not bring people a sense of surprise at all.

"Okay, get ready, Lin Qi..."

Seeing that the time was almost over, the photographer said to Lin Qi. The reporter immediately corrected his face and faced the camera with the microphone. After the shooting started, he began to report on the situation at the scene.

"Dear viewers, good morning everyone..."

The beautiful female voice brought a new day. The staff from the Ninghai TV headquarters and the News Department received images from Qingwan Bookstore and began to get busy.

"Cut it off here, morning news must be broadcast, just keep the key content, don't exceed three minutes."

"Are the speech ready? Can you predict sales of both?"

"Le Tong, please help me, how do you think you should write this report?"

The Guoletong of Ninghai Animation Column Group also stood in the News Department. He is more sensitive to comics and animation than the people in the News Department, so he was invited to be a foreign aid.

"Well...the number of readers on both sides is similar."

Looking at the images sent back on the scene, Guole Tong frowned slightly, looking at the outside of Qingwan Bookstore. The sales scenes of "Detective Conan" and "Son of Detective" on the left and right are not much different, making it difficult for him to make a judgment.

“What about other places?”

He turned his head and said, "I want to know the general situation elsewhere."

"I'll go and ask right away."

The minister of the Ministry of Information nodded and left in a hurry. He wanted to seize the time. Ninghai TV's morning news was broadcast by the broadcasting department. However, the host and news content were hosted by the Ministry of Information, and they had to prepare today's manuscripts within a few minutes.

"Letong, okay. Other places are very lively." Soon, the Minister of Information ran back and said to Guoletong: "But overall, "Detective Conan" needs more readers."

"More than "Detective Conan"?"

Guoletong's eyes lit up and clapped her hands and said, "Then don't need to think about it. Your news is biased towards Hexi... It is definitely true. This time, the sales of "Detective Conan" will be more than "Son of Detective".

"What!?"

The Minister of News was stunned and said incredibly: "No way. The sales of "Weekly Premium" is much higher than that of "Weekly Boy", so why did "Son of the Detective" lose?"

"You can understand first that "Weekly Premium" does not equal "Son of the Detective", and "Weekly Boy" does not equal "Detective Conan"."

Guoletong explained that the sales of "Son of the Detective" was due to all the fine comics of "Weekly Boutique", while "Detective Conan" would lose before. A large part of the reason was that the overall strength of "Weekly Boutique" was not as good as "Weekly Boutique".

To neutralize the two, "Son of Detective" may not be better than "Detective Conan".

"And it was the first time "Son of Detective" was released. It had a lot of publicity in the early stage, and it should be the most popular now. "Detective Conan" is already in the third volume. The enthusiasm of readers will not be so hot."

Generally speaking, on the day a comic is released on the first time a single book is released, the readers will be the most enthusiastic and the scene will be the most lively. After the release is twice, the overall popularity will increase, but the sales will decrease on the first day.

This means that the crazy level of readers of "Detective Conan" is no longer as good as when it was released for the first time. Many readers are at home or at work and are not so eager to buy it.

"Son of Detective" was released for the first time. Logically speaking, on the day of release, especially this morning, it should be more popular than "Detective Conan".

It failed to do so, which shows that the overall popularity is not as good as Detective Conan, and the sales are the same.

"This... can you be sure?"

The Minister of Information was a little dry-mouthed. If this matter was true, the outcome of Zhongxia and He Xi would be self-evident. If the news spread, the impact would be like an earthquake.

"It should be true..."

Guo Letong nodded. In fact, he is not a professional comic book person and cannot be completely sure, but he still thinks that his guess should be more correct.

"Okay, I'll prepare it like this."

The Minister of Information gritted his teeth and turned and left.

So, on the morning news in Ninghai, the female host added this sentence to the back while broadcasting the sales scene.

"The third volume of "Detective Conan" is released, and the sales scene is still lively, and it is expected to surpass "Son of the Detective" released on the same day. These two detective-themed comics will be for Chinese mystery enthusiasts..."

The host said it very tactfully. Ninghai TV, Zhongxia and Phoenix Company have business cooperation, and will not say directly who wins and who loses. However, even with this kind of euphemism, a discerning person can see the subtext at a glance.

He Xi - won!

Other media who saw this news were surprised, and some people in the comics industry were also stunned. In fact, before that, people above the eighth floor were optimistic about "Son of the Detective".

Because the magazine where "Son of Detective" is sold significantly more than "Detective Conan", even if the distance is made by Cheng Yaojin's "One Piece" suddenly appears, people also feel that the sales of a single book will not lose.

As soon as this news from Ninghai TV came out, many people were stunned. Even the reporters who were writing articles to say that "Son of the Detective" would win were stunned.

"This is impossible!"

"The Son of Detective" lost to "Detective Conan", wouldn't that mean that both Li Xin's comics lost to He Xi?"

Before the single-line version, the magazine was released twice. It made the weekly "Weekly Premium" twice, and the sales volume was even more than 24 million!

"Spicy" is the number one comic magazine in China. No one can deny this. Although the media has condemned it a lot, its popularity is close to first-class novels, and "Weekly Premium" is still struggling on the second and third-level line.

And now "Son of Detective" cannot surpass "Detective Conan"?

"Damn it, He Xi won, who said the outcome is unknown?"

"He Xi's sales are already above Zhongxia. If "Son of Detective" cannot even be the same as "Detective Conan", then it's incomparable..."

"Zhongxia was beaten by Teacher He Xi?"

"What the hell are they doing!"

Many media were angry. Zhongxia company was rich and powerful. This was the last competition and the most critical time. Everyone was looking forward to it.

They thought Zhongxia would use some amazing means to turn the tables, but in the end there was nothing. This giant company was finally in a fight against He Xi.

"When did capitalists become so kind, it's simply unreasonable!"

"Hasn't Zhongxia been very straightforward to her opponents before? I haven't heard of any method. No matter how powerful He Xi is, she is just a person, and Phoenix Company has no background. Why would Zhongxia be honest in competing with them?"

"I'm so tired, Zhongxia Company will definitely be missed by its opponents in the future!"

Chinese people love face, and Zhongxia Company let He Xi walk past their heads. This kind of thing will spread. It would be strange if the companies that are hostile to it do not laugh at it in the future.

However, the reporters complained that Yang Liang, as the person in charge of Zhongxia, was helpless. He felt that he had done his best.

"Our promotional cost is five times that of Phoenix Company... Although we don't know how Ninghai TV calculates the results, they did not make any mistakes. According to preliminary statistics, it is difficult for "Son of Detective" to exceed "Detective Conan"..."

Wang Zhe was reading the report in his office, but Yang Liang's face did not change. This result was not unexpected to him, but there was still a faint bitterness flowing in his heart.

"No miracle happened... This is Li Xin, and our limit..."

Yang Liang recalled the past two months and they were not careless. If they had no regrets, the world would be full of praise for them.

In two months, a newcomer was pushed from scratch to the peak of Chinese comics, from an ordinary graduate to a popular comic star, worth tens of millions of yuan. This speed of star creation is enough to surprise everyone!

But what's the pity in this world? This is destined that everything Zhongxia created will be given a dowry for him.

In the past two months, Zhongxia has purposefully guided and controlled the media's speeches, and now it is now the limit. In a few days, as long as the sales of "Son of the Detective" and "Detective Conan" are obvious, a gust of wind will blew up the media.

At that time, no one would notice the achievements of Zhongxia, but would cheer for He Xi and be shocked by his victory over Zhongxia. It can be said that through this incident, He Xi would be praised on the altar, and his status would be difficult to shake in the future unless... unless he left China immediately.

He Xi left China, even if it took half a year, so Zhongxia and other comic companies had the opportunity to launch new cartoonists and gain a firm foothold.

Otherwise, He Xi's shadow will surround the Chinese comics industry. It will only be more difficult for anyone to make a newcomer famous.

"Why didn't Duke Anthony take action yet..."

Yang Liang thought of the chairman's words and a small flame of hope ignited in his heart.

Su Hua

Anthony took a special car to the airport.

"Hisser Duke, you have figured out the trajectory of the people you are following..."

Annie reported beside him, and Anthony opened her eyes and her eyes suddenly became sharp: "Good job, Annie, please arrange a substitute for me. I want to go and contact He Xi in person."

He stayed in Su Hua for a long time, but in the end he did not get the old lady's consent.

"My grandson is also a Chinese until his death!"

The old man was unwilling to let his grandson go, but Anthony did not change his original intention. Whether to leave or not, this matter was not the old man, but the healer.

There is an old Chinese saying that first rituals are then soldiers... Anthony came to inform the old man in person that this is a ritual. Since the rituals have no effect, he can only use "soldiers".
