There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the ducks know first when the spring river water warms.
For the workers in these printing factories, they often know which comic magazines will be popular earlier than the comic editors sitting in the office.
First of all, each of them has watched countless movies...ah, bah! They have read countless books.
These comics and books may be expensive at newsstands or bookstores outside, but for printing workers like them, they can take them whenever they want.
Some defective products were often packed home in sacks, so each of their homes was piled with many popular comic magazines.
These workers are familiar with the most popular works in various comic magazines.
Whether a comic book will be popular or not, these workers can tell a lot about it just by scanning a few pages.
Similarly, their eyes became extremely picky.
Some comics that ordinary readers seem to enjoy are, in their eyes, boring and have no novelty at all.
So, when the "Dragon JUMP" comic magazine came out, the workers in these printing factories were immediately stunned at the first glance.
All of a sudden, "Dragon JUMP" became popular among the workers in the printing factory.
There were even workers who couldn't wait to see the next story and ran to the minister's office to ask if there was a next issue of "Dragon Jump".
"The next issue of Dragon Jump? You must be kidding. This is a weekly magazine. The first issue hasn't even been released yet. How can they print the next issue?
Moreover, this Dragon Jump is completely a mess. If it can’t sell 500,000 copies, it will go bankrupt. There is no way there will be a second issue.”
Oda Hisayama, the director of the printing department, smiled sarcastically as he saw several workers coming in to inquire about the second issue of "Dragon Jump".
However, these workers said in unison: "'Dragon Jump' is so good, Director Oda, we must prepare to print more copies."
"What? Aren't 500,000 copies enough for them to sell? They're printing more copies? Stop talking nonsense here."
Oda Hisayama said with disdain, thinking that these workers were ignorant.
However, as more and more workers came in and handed "Dragon JUMP" to him, he was incredibly attracted.
"No... Impossible! How can this Dragon Jump be so good?
Damn it! I should have read it myself before, so I wouldn't have made such a misjudgment.
We only took on the printing of 400,000 copies. Otherwise, we would have taken over 500,000 copies.”
Oda Hisayama also saw the potential of "Dragon Jump". He had indeed underestimated Keiko Kobayashi before and didn't even look at the sample issue.
However, it is not too late to make up for the loss now. After he put down "Dragon JUMP", he immediately called the "Dragon JUMP" magazine and wanted to take the initiative to request for more prints.
It’s a pity that it’s still too early and no one is working on “Dragon JUMP” yet!
…
When "Dragon JUMP" rolled off the production line of the Dongsheng Printing Factory and was continuously shipped to all parts of Japan and displayed in various bookstores, this great comic magazine that was destined to go down in Japanese history was officially put on sale.
There is a bookstore next to a Tokyo subway station. Because Keiko Kobayashi offered a more favorable commission sales discount, the owner of the bookstore was very happy and placed "Dragon JUMP" in a more conspicuous position.
Of course, the most prominent position is reserved for the sales champion of comic magazines "Weekly Shonen Jump".
After all, every time a magazine is published, more than half of the customers who come to the bookstore to buy magazines are there for Weekly Shonen Jump.
In addition to the placement of the posters, Keiko Kobayashi also sent people to each bookstore to place a lot of "Pokemon" posters.
Yes!
These were not popular in Japan at that time, but at the suggestion of Lin Huowang, Kobayashi Keiko selected cute Pokémon such as Pikachu, Charmander and Squirtle, printed them into exquisite posters, and posted them on the walls of the bookstore.
So...
Every customer who enters the bookstore is attracted by these cute Pokémon at first sight.
"Boss, what animals are on these posters? They're so cute!"
"Huh? I've never seen one before. Is this a real animal on Earth? It shouldn't be, right? It looks like a character from a comic book!"
"Is this a character from a new comic? It's so cute! Boss, which comic magazine is it from? Please recommend it to me!"
…
Even the bookstore owners were a little surprised that the promotional effect of these posters was so obvious.
So, they hurriedly put out "Dragon Jump" and recommended it: "This is the newly published "Dragon Jump", which is a revised version of the previous "Tomorrow Comics Weekly". The comics in it are all brand new. Do you want to try it?"
After all, it is a brand new comic magazine and the comic stories inside are all new. Even the bookstore owner has no confidence in recommending it and just asks customers to give it a try.
But unexpectedly, this sight completely ignited the enthusiasm of all the customers in the bookstore.
"Wow! These cute Pokémon are really from Dragon Jump! This is a story about catching cute Pokémon and then having trainer battles and adventures. What a novel setting, so interesting!"
"Not only Pokémon, but also Dragon Ball and Fist of the North Star. Wow! And there's also Sailor Moon, which is very suitable for us girls. The transformed costumes are so pretty."
"I want a copy of Dragon Jump, it's so good..."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Boss, I'm going to be late for work. Hurry and bring me a copy of Dragon Jump. I want to read it on the train..."
"It's so good! I've never seen such a wonderful comic. Time is running out. Boss, here's the money. I'll take this one."
"I originally wanted to buy Weekly Shonen Jump today, but now it seems that Dragon Jump is more worthwhile..."
