After breakfast, Meng Huo returned to the office to prepare for today's event.

However, as soon as he sat down, the secretary walked in with a copy: "Vice General, Minister Zhou had something to come to you just now. This is the information she gave to me."

Meng Huo followed the information and found that this was the sales record of the first day of the carnival handed over to him by Zhou Qian, including derivative products from various animations such as "Lannad", "Wine of Immortality", "Rebellious Lelouch" and so on.

"Selling so fast?" Meng Huo frowned slightly. The information showed that the Carnival sold out 40% of the goods on the first day, with revenue of tens of millions, and it is expected to exceed 100 million today, which also broke the revenue record of Manga Island in previous years.

However, the trouble is that they are not prepared in advance, and most derivative commodities will be exhausted before the end of the carnival.

"Why is this happening?" Meng Huo asked strangely: "Didn't the company prepare more than 20% of the products that exceed the tourists' demand?"

When preparing for the carnival, Phoenix Company made careful and cautious preparations in all aspects to deal with the various effects brought by tourists to the greatest extent. This situation has never happened in previous years. Why did it make such a big mistake this year?

The secretary immediately took out another copy and said, "We prepared very well, but the number of tourists was wrong. The number of tourists yesterday exceeded 10% of the estimated ones, and today it may exceed 30%. And their desire to buy was stronger in previous years."

"This year, many people came to Manga Island for limited-edition products such as "Wine of Immortality". The secretary handed the document to Meng Huo. When Meng Huo saw that it was true. The number of tourists yesterday was more estimated in his memory, but the strange thing was... the number of people the day before the carnival was the same as they expected.

Phoenix Company conducts multiple questionnaires every year to estimate the number of people at Carnival. This is a very important thing. Even if there is a deviation, it is impossible to have such a large deviation situation. In this case, the number of people on Manga Island will be more tomorrow.

The number of tourists during the entire carnival may be half as estimated by Phoenix Company, which is a very big deviation. It is impossible for this situation to occur at all. In this case, other troubles will follow.

"It's trouble now..." Meng Huo rubbed his forehead. Although the increase in tourists yesterday did not have any impact, it was also because the increase was not high. If more than 30% of tourists arrived today, various problems would arise immediately. Phoenix Company must enter a state of emergency.

"Notify every department that employees on vacation today will cancel their leave and go to various places in Manga Island to help..." Meng Huo said: "And also ask Zhou Qian to notify the food stores on the island to try to expand their business. If many people have no place to eat, it will be a big trouble."

The secretary took notes and nodded, "What else?"

"And..." Meng Huo thought that there were too many troubles for tourists to be overloaded, and all aspects were affected. He could not find a specific countermeasure at once: "And... I'll call Alice!"

He said at the end that Alice obviously wanted him to be good at this mutation. Meng Huo took out his cell phone and called Alice on the spot. Alice was also busy with work today, but after hearing this, she immediately took it.

"That's it..." Meng Huo put down his phone and said softly: "You can follow Alice today. Just tell me what she has to do."

The secretary put away the notes: "Okay."

He turned around and left. Meng Huo then worked in the office for half a day and finished some chores. Just as he was about to leave, the door of the office suddenly opened, and Qin Ya walked in with great strides.

"Teacher He Xi, it's not good!" She called out to Meng Huo with a panic look on her face. Seeing this expression, Meng Huo closed his dissatisfaction with her "pushing the door" in his heart: "Why are you surprised?"

Qin Ya jumped anxiously: "The surrounding area of ​​"The Rebellious Lelouch" is not enough, so it will be sold out today!"

Meng Huo couldn't help laughing: "I already know this."

The information left by Zhou Qian to him has shown this. The products of the three animations, "The Rebellious Lelouch", "The Wine of Immortality" and "Lannad", are the most popular. It is very likely that they will be sold out today, especially Lelouch's products. The ones that are snapped up seem to be crazy.

At this time, Meng Huo suddenly understood the reason for the sudden increase in tourists: "So that's it. It's because of "The Rebellious Lelouch"..."

Phoenix Company could not make such a big statistical error. The reason for the surge in the number of tourists after the official opening of the Carnival is mostly because of the ending episode of "The Rebellious Lelouch" which was broadcast two days ago. This episode of the animation caused a sensation on Manga Island, and the outside world is naturally the same.

"Rebellious Lelouch" has just been completed, and the BD and the surrounding area have not yet been released. The comic island, which is currently holding a carnival, is an exception. Naturally, there will be no missing products from "Rebellious Lelouch".

Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that a large number of tourists will come, and it will continue to rise in the next two days. Although it is just a guess, apart from this reason, Meng Huo cannot find any other reason.

However, he did not respond to Qin Ya's words in a positive way, which made Qin Ya a little angry: "My teacher, since you know that the number is not enough, why don't you prepare early?"

Every time she talks about "The Rebellious Lelouch", Qin Ya always cares more, as if she is the creator of this work, as if she is not honest enough. The effort she puts in animation is indeed Meng Huo's priority. Yesterday, when she was busy with "The Legend of the Galaxy Songs", Qin Ya was also promoting Lelouch.

Meng Huo smiled bitterly: "I just found out."

He knew that Qin Ya wouldn't have much shorter surroundings, and this matter was basically unsolvable. These surroundings were not as fast as weekly magazines. Even if they found that the quantity was not enough, they would have to urge the factory to produce them, and the factory would have to go through several processes, and it would take a week to ship in large quantities at the earliest.

In a week, the carnival had already ended, and the distance could not relieve the near thirst. After telling Qin Ya carefully, Qin Ya finally understood, but no matter how clear the situation was, the situation became even more difficult: "What should we do? Will it be available for sale every day?"

To sell only half of the goods to the last day of the carnival, the only way is to "limit daily quantity".

Meng Huo also knew there was no choice, but he also knew that if he did this, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among many tourists, especially those who came to Manhua Island for the sake of the surrounding area. He would definitely be very annoyed. In addition, the number of tourists continued to increase, and if he was not paid attention, there would be riots among tourists.

So he did not answer Qin Ya directly, but just comforted him: "Don't worry. Just wait. I think the company will issue a solution soon." Meng Huo put his hope on Alice, and she would definitely come up with some good idea.

At this time, others who are also on Manga Island do not know the problem of product shortage.

Take "Wine of Immortality" as an example. The BD of this animation has only two sales points on Manga Island. There are long queues outside each sales point. It is common for a tourist to queue three or four times according to the normal process, but many people sell things that can be bought with such hard work to others as soon as they buy them.

Liu Yi and his dormitory roommates were waiting here before dawn. They were the first group to arrive. Despite this, it was almost nine o'clock after buying "Wine of Immortality".

"I had been looking forward to you for nothing before, but we still had to do it ourselves." Although the boss of the dormitory holding the box of "Wine of Eternal Life" was complaining to Liu Yi, his face was full of joy: "I don't know how much this thing can be sold..."

As soon as he said this, a girl came over next to him.

"Hey. Do you want to sell "Wine of Immortality"? How about selling it to us..." The girl said, "I have an extra five hundred yuan based on the original price. The team is too long and I'm too lazy to line up."

There are many people around the BD sales point, like girls, and the Carnival on Manga Island has never lacked money to participate. When the sun is exposed to the sun, these well-funded young people are more willing to buy BD directly from others.

"Five...500..." The boss of the dormitory was startled and swallowed. This was really amazing. He had only been waiting in line for three hours, which meant that he had a net profit of more than one hundred every time.

In addition to the cost of sharing a meal with friends, the 500 yuan exceeded his entire summer expenses, and what he imagined was worth more than the Wine of Eternal Life!

"Will you sell it?" The boss of the dormitory was a little hesitant, as if he could make more money by selling it.

"You are trying to sell it, right?" The girl easily saw through his thoughts, and she said lightly: "The difference now is only about 1,000. But after the carnival, it will definitely be rampant, and it may not be sold for less than 500."

Liu Yi pulled the boss: "Don't listen to her, "The Wine of Eternal Life" will definitely be valuable if you stay." However, after looking at the surroundings, the boss of the dormitory quickly handed over "The Wine of Eternal Life" to the girl, counting the red bills in her hand, and her face was about to smile.

"Why did you sell it?" Liu Yi was very surprised.

"Her's has some truth. Maybe after the carnival, "The Wine of Immortality" will spread." The boss of the dormitory collected the money and said with a smile: "It's safer to sell it first. You see, everyone around you does this."

Around the sales point, many people traded the hard-earned Wine of Immortality to others, and some people had a lower price, only charging a difference of more than 100 yuan.

Just as Liu Yi was talking to the boss, other roommates quickly took off the box in their hands, each of them was extremely happy. Just when Liu Yi was shocked, a young man talked to him.

"Does your "Wine of Life" be sold??"

Liu Yi immediately replied with a "no selling" method. After the young man left, his roommates looked at him like fools.

"Liu Yi, you are stupid, why don't you want the money you earn for free?"

"Sell it soon, we will continue to line up... There are two days left, let's get the capital back first!"

Liu Yi was surprised: "You still want to buy it?"

He suddenly knew what his roommates were thinking. These young college students were not stupid. They did not give up the idea of ​​leaving "Wine of Life" to sell it later. It was just that there was still plenty of time before the end of the carnival. They were not in a hurry to do so now. The first idea was to fill the expenses during the summer vacation first.

And according to the current situation, you only need to queue twice. By the afternoon, they can fill in the capital and then choose more freely whether to resell on site or sell it on the market in the future...

"I plan to stay here all day."

The dormitory boss replied.

"So too." "I plan to stay for two days."

The other two roommates followed and said that they had never encountered such an opportunity to make money almost like picking up money, so they would definitely not miss it.

Liu Yi was speechless. He began to worry whether his roommates would become a member of the college student business alliance. The comics industry has developed too fast because of the youth of the industry and products without any precedents and judgment standards. Many things will have interest loopholes, resulting in many dealers.

"Have you prepared other people's ID cards?" he asked. Of course, Phoenix Company will not support dealers. One ID card can only buy a copy of "Wine of Immortality". However, Phoenix Company is not a policeman and does not have the ability to check the authenticity of the ID card, just a look.

"We're ready."

Sure enough, the roommates took out a few to dozens of "id cards" from their pockets, all of which were made by them privately, and they could tell them that they were authentic and fake by scanning the machine, but they couldn't tell them much about them.

"Liu Yi, you went to work yesterday, and we forgot to tell you." The dormitory owner laughed and said, "It's really amazing here. As long as you provide photos, someone specializes in making such fake ID cards, and one is only worth ten yuan!"

"Ten yuan?" Liu Yi felt something was wrong. Even if it was a fake ID card, it would be too cheap!

And isn't this illegal?

"Are you sure it won't matter if you get a fake ID card?" Liu Yi asked suspiciously.

"Of course, how could there be any trouble if so many people take it?" The dormitory boss put away his ID card. He looked at the team. There were more people in the queue, so he called Liu Yi and ran towards the end of the team.

"We have to queue up too. Liu Yi, please go to work seriously!"

Other roommates also ran over because many people had to watch the meteor shower last night. The owner allowed Liu Yi to go to work later today, but he would have to work soon. However, his monthly work income may not be more profitable in a day.
