441 Buying magazines is also a shame

Yuo Kojima suddenly called late at night, and said in a passionate tone that he would "stay his life for a lifetime", which made Qin Han confused.

However, he doesn't hate the passionate young man. Being active in work is better than being lazy and unenergized editors who don't care about the needs of cartoonists.

Qin Han believed that "Beautiful Girl of Light" would be successful, but he did not think about competing with "Sailor Moon" or defeating the other party.

After all, in another world, this comic can be said to be his childhood memory. Qin and Han not only entered the house because of this, but also married the first, second, third, fourth and fifth second-dimensional wife.

After hearing Qin Han's words, Kojima Yuo suddenly realized that he was too passionate and had lost his words.

"Sorry, Teacher Qin Han, I just drank some wine and made a mistake." Kojima Yuo apologized, "Please give me some advice on comics in the future."

"Please give me some advice. By the way, did you encounter something tonight, Kojima?"

"No, nothing is there." Kojima Yuo quickly denied it. He felt that it would be meaningless to take out the little things that Hiroshi Muda said.

"That's good, good night."

"Good night, I've disturbed it so late."

After hanging up the phone, Kojima Yuo looked at the night sky where there was no stars due to light pollution, and suddenly a fighting spirit surged from the bottom of his heart.

…………

Time flies quite quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is December 20th.

This day is Wednesday.

At the Rosen convenience store near Shibuya Station in Yamanote Line, the store manager Hiro Yamauchi started to be busy early in the morning.

Boxes of freshly baked magazines were moved into the store. On this cold winter morning, in a short while, Hiroshi Yamauchi and two other clerks were sweating profusely, and a trace of white mist swelled up on their bodies.

"Oh, today is the day when "Weekly Youth Sunday" and "Weekly Youth Magazine" will be launched again. There are so many magazines, so exhausting. Why are there interesting mystery comics like "Detective Conan" and "Kinda Ichiko's Events"?"

"Yes, these two comics were launched on the same day, which was so exhausting. Fortunately, it was enough to be tired today, and it should be much easier tomorrow."

After the two clerks finished their work, they rested and chatted.

One of the older ones in the grade heard his companion’s words and immediately sneered: “New, you think beautifully! Will tomorrow be relaxed? Do you know that tomorrow is the day when the new issue of “Weekly Boy Jump” will be launched?”

"I see."

"The sales of a magazine called "Weekly Youth Jump" is basically equivalent to the sales of two books "Weekly Youth Sunday" and "Weekly Youth Magazine". And recently, because "Midfield Core" is very popular, sales are still rising."

"Hey, have you two rested enough? Come and put these new items on the shelves." Yamauchi Hiroshi greeted.

Two clerks walked over and found that they were some anime-related products, such as the towels of the cute witch lady, or the key pendant of the silver-haired maid, etc.

"When will our convenience store start selling these things? Shouldn't the anime surroundings be in Akihabara?"

Yamauchi explained: "This is a game called "Oriental Fantasy Country Story", a linkage activity with our Rosen Convenience Store, and it launched exclusive products."

"The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country? I haven't heard of it. I only know "Mario". "The older clerk touched his head.

"Uncle, you are not a player, of course you don't know. That game was released in February last year, and now it has sold more than seven million worldwide! In Japan alone, the sales volume has reached 1.3 million sets!"

"Is it really that powerful?" Although the old clerk does not understand games, he still knows that it is absolutely amazing to sell an entertainment product for one million copies in Japan. "Will that mean that our Rosen can increase its turnover a lot because of the launch of these exclusive products?"

Yamauchi looked at the endless crowd on the street: "I hope this is the case. Cooperating with major magazines, animations, and game companies to launch exclusive peripheral products is our group's new strategy. I heard that this is called 'two-dimensional planning' or something like that."

"The current home group is growing stronger and stronger, and we should indeed develop new products for them..."

Hiro Yamauchi also has high hopes for these newly launched game peripherals. Whether his store can become the sales champion of all Japan Rosen convenience stores this year depends on Christmas and these game peripherals.

"There are many students and young people passing by every day, and these surrounding areas should be very good..."

When he was thinking this way, the first customer walked into the convenience store.

"Welcome." Yamauchi said hello.

However, he was a little disappointed to see that the guest was a slightly fat man.

"It seems like I am an office worker who bought breakfast. I thought I would be able to sell the first game peripherals soon. Alas, I don't know if these peripherals are easy to sell..."

A man in his thirties, who was in his thirties, looked around in the magazine area, hesitated, as if he wanted to buy it but didn't dare to buy it.

Hiro Yamauchi has been in convenience store sales for more than ten years. Although he now runs a Rosen family, he has worked with 711 in his family. He knows what such customers who are wandering in the magazine area want to do.

He walked over and said carefully: "This guest, I'm sorry, we don't sell adult magazines here..."

Many convenience stores in Japan will set up an adult product area to sell R18 magazines and other things. Some convenience stores are not so particular, and directly place adult magazines and comics in the same area. However, Hiroshi Yamauchi does not sell such products in his own store.

Although doing this can attract some male customers, it is easy to drive away female customers, especially those with children.

This is also a trade-off.

Who knew that the slightly fat guest shook his head and blushed and said, "No, you misunderstood. I didn't come to those magazines. I just wanted to buy a book called "Flowers and Dreams."

"Flowers and Dreams? Isn't that a girl comic magazine? The main reader group is girls below high school!"

Yamauchi was surprised, then looked at the fat customer thoughtfully, thinking: "Well, from a certain perspective, it is indeed a more shameful thing for office workers in their thirties to buy girls' comics magazines than buying adult magazines..."

Of course, for a businessman, it doesn’t matter what the other party buys, as long as you make money yourself.
