If Suzuki Ayano's Twitter popularity only reflects the popularity of "Dragon Sakura" from the side. Then the employees of the marketing department of Shirazumi Club can feel the hot selling momentum of this comic more directly.

"Chunjiutang Bookstore just called and said that the inventory of "Dragon Sakura" is only 10%, so let's add prints as soon as possible!"

"The booksellers in Jiuzhou are also urging me!"

“So too are from the four countries.”

"Sapporo Kii Kyokoya has been sold out!"

Sato, the Minister of Marketing, listened to the various information reported by his subordinates, felt a complex feeling of happiness and anxiety.

Today is December 20th, the fifth day of the first single volume of "Dragon Cherry" is launched.

This time, Baiquanshe was bold enough to make the decision to print 500,000 copies of this comic for the first time, which was definitely the first time. The comic with the most first time printed was only 200,000 copies. This time, it doubled and a half times, which was a very risky strategy.

Originally, the marketing department predicted that the sales volume of 200,000 copies in the first week and the first printed 500,000 copies will be sold within one month, even if the task is successfully completed.

Who knew that the sales situation was much better than expected? On the fifth day, inventory in various places was already in a hurry.

The marketing department receives more than a dozen calls urging restocking every hour. The rushing phone ringing makes people feel more anxious the more they hear it. However, when they think of the generous bonuses after the sales surge, the employees who have been in high-intensity work state have also dissipated their complaints.

Looking at the subordinates who surrounded his desk, Minister Sato said while rubbing his temples, "Don't panic, say one by one, start from east to west, start from Hokkaido. What's going on in Sapporo? It was the first to sell it out? I remember it was snowing heavily this week. In that kind of weather, snow can build a wall to block the door. It's harder to go out to the streets than to go abroad. Why are there so many people going to buy "Dragon Sakura"?"

The subordinate in charge of Hokkaido sales said: "Minister, this is related to an interesting thing that happened in the local area. Don't you know? They have already been spread online."

The subordinate handed over his phone and played a video of local news in Hokkaido.

On the day of the release of "Dragon Sakura", it was snowing heavily in Sapporo on the night and traffic was blocked.

But unexpectedly, the next day, Kii Kunya, the highest-selling bookstore in Sapporo, welcomed several special guests early in the morning.

Four people drove snow shoveling tractors and cleared the roads that the municipal government had not had time to clean the snow-covered roads, and came to Jiyiguowu. This exaggerated situation shocked the bookstore clerks.

It is said that these four people are all loyal fans of Mr. Qin Han. They once drove a luxury pain truck from Hokkaido to Tokyo to attend a fan exhibition.

After they arrived at Kii Kyoya, each of them bought a hundred copies of "Dragon Sakura" in one go, and vowed to draw the signature version before stopping. As a result, Kii Kyoya was so scared that he immediately launched a purchase restriction. Otherwise, these four people would really be able to buy all the single-line versions of "Dragon Sakura" in the bookstore.

This incident was later reported by local TV stations and became a hot topic for a while. Many people who didn't know "Dragon Sakura" before and even didn't read comics at all, out of curiosity, went to the bookstore to buy a copy home.

Hokkaido is cold in winter and cannot go out, so he stays at home most of the time. In order to pass the time, residents in Hokkaido have good reading habits. Now, coupled with the news of "snow shoveling tractors to buy" that has fueled the fire, it has become a natural thing to sell "Dragon Sakura" hotly.

After hearing this explanation, everyone else, including Minister Sato, had a look of "this operation is still the same."

Including the "female high school student encounters teacher Qin Han" on the day of the release, this occasional incident triggered an Internet craze and made a lot of contributions to the sales of single-books.

If Minister Sato knew the famous quote from an oriental elder in another world, he would definitely give the Qin and Han dynasties the crown of "make big news".

"It seems that the right time, place, people and people are on our side. This time, it is impossible not to win!" Minister Sato laughed. The fatigue accumulated by the high-intensity work in recent days seemed to be wiped out.

Next, the subordinates responsible for the sales of prefectures in various prefectures reported the situation to Minister Sato one by one.

A hundred and ten pieces of information are summed up in just two words: print it!

Minister Sato gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Notify the printing factory to print! Print hard, print hard, print hard, print hard, print freely, print freely, print selflessly!"

So, before the first week's sales period ended, "Dragon Sakura" was printed. Moreover, the second edition was printed with 700,000 copies, setting a new record in the history of Baiquan Society.

Christmas is approaching and the weather is getting colder, but the competition among publishers is getting stronger and stronger.

For this sales war that started in early December, the weekly sales list of oricon comics published on December 23 is a highly anticipated phased summary.

Oricon credibility list is the most well-known and influential ranking list in Japan.

This list provides sales rankings for various cultural and entertainment consumer products, including music, animation, movies, TV series, games, to comics, photo albums, novels, etc.

Not only will major merchants keep a close eye on the oricon list to find business opportunities, but all kinds of fans also like to use oricon sales as dry goods and use them as ammunition during online debates.

Especially this week, popular comics from major publishers have been launched intensively, and new single-books have been released in succession. Under the lively and prosperous scene, there is a fierce competition.

Especially the two national comics "Dragon Ball" and "1/2 Ranma", they have attracted a lot of attention.

Finally, it was time to announce the weekly list. Due to the huge number of visitors, the official website of the oricon website had a slow opening of even 404.

Minister Sato sat in the office, anxiously refreshing the website over and over again.

Until he felt that his fingers pressing F5 were about to numb, the oricon weekly list was finally updated.

"First place: "Dragon Ball" Volume 23, Volume 1783459. Release date: December 14. On the list of weeks: 1."

"Second place: "Ranma 1/2" Volume 18, Volume 1200566. Release date: December 14. On the list of weeks: 1."

"The top two are indeed no suspense..." Minister Sato thought to himself.

Although Baiquan Club had previously shouted the slogan "Below Dragon Ball, surpass all the people", it was just a beautiful wish. The goal is not determined to be higher, what is the difference between it and salted fish?

At this time, the official website of oricon, which had too many visits, was stumbled again, and the third place could not be displayed.

Minister Sato continued to refresh in an upset mood. Just as he was about to lose his patience and was about to do other things first, the third place in the weekly sales list of oricon comics finally came out.

"Third place: "Dragon Cherry" Volume 1, Volume 49,2017. Release date: December 15. On the list of weeks: 1."
