Originally, everyone thought that the one million copies sold on the first day could be considered the peak of Dragon Jump.
The sales on the second day will definitely start to decline.
but……
On the second day after the release of "Dragon JUMP", the 500,000 copies printed by Dongsheng Printing were sold out in just over an hour as readers rushed to buy them after hearing the news.
crazy!
It's just crazy!
Although Japanese comics practitioners expected that "Dragon Jump" would be a big hit, they did not expect it to sell at a rate of one million copies a day.
Moreover, these one million copies are only the limit for reprinting, not the limit for the sales of "Dragon Jump".
Fortunately, Keiko Kobayashi is very confident about "Dragon JUMP". Yesterday, in addition to asking Dongsheng Printing to print an additional 500,000 copies, she also asked other printing houses to print an additional 500,000 copies.
However, this part of the reprinting has not been delivered to all parts of the country so quickly, and it will have to wait until the afternoon to arrive.
During this period, major Japanese newspapers also crazily reported on the huge success of "Dragon Jump".
Of course!
This is related to Keiko Kobayashi's active publicity, and even secretly providing a lot of publicity funds to major newspapers.
Hype!
That’s right!
This is the publicity secret that Lin Huowang passed on to Kobayashi Keiko, and he even deliberately arranged some plots that seemed particularly bloody in later generations.
"Asahi Shimbun": Two comic readers fought each other in order to buy the last copy of "Dragon Jump" in the bookstore, which eventually attracted the police. Both of them were taken to the police station for disturbing the peace.
"Yomiuri Shimbun": With the popularity of "Dragon Jump", scalpers lined up to buy large quantities of "Dragon Jump" magazines.
In the end, it was sold to readers in urgent need at an average price that was five times higher than the original price.
"Nikkei": First, the poet Haizi's "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" boosted the seaside resort economy, and then the "Dragon JUMP" comic magazine became popular in Japan and it was hard to get a copy.
Many large companies such as Sony, Mitsubishi, and Nissan are actively seeking advertising cooperation with "Dragon Jump". The highest second-cover advertising spot has even been hyped up to 5 million yen per issue. The cultural industry has great potential.
…
Amidst all the hype in the news, ordinary Japanese citizens were surprised to find that a new comic magazine that they had never heard of had suddenly become so famous.
So the 500,000 copies of "Dragon JUMP" that arrived in the afternoon were sold out without any suspense.
There were even many young people who saw the news about "scalpers raising prices" and queued up to buy multiple copies of "Dragon JUMP", and then learned to raise the price and sell them to people who didn't get a copy later.
At that time, the scalper economy was not very popular, either in Japan or other countries in the world.
So, when ordinary Japanese people discovered that they could earn enough for a day's food by buying a few extra copies of such an ordinary "Dragon JUMP" magazine and then reselling them to other people, they would realize that the magazine was indeed a good choice for them.
Crash!
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
This made the sales of "Dragon JUMP" even more popular.
The more people rush to buy, and one person sells a large lot, the less likely readers who really want to buy will be able to buy it, and they will have to ask these "scalpers" to buy it at a high price.
Having tasted the sweetness, the "scalpers" naturally increased their efforts and scale. After all, they have "Dragon JUMP" in stock, so they don't have to worry about selling it, right?
…
"That's right, Ms. Keiko. Now the printing factory is still asking us if we want to print more copies!
Two million copies have been sold, but the market is still in short supply. On the black market, a copy of Dragon Jump can be sold for 1,000 yen, which is four times our selling price of 250 yen..."
Erika Matsuma also said with a look of shock.
She had heard that some commemorative banknotes and stamps might be snapped up because they were limited edition souvenirs with collectible value.
However, he did not expect that the comic magazine produced by his company would become so popular as soon as it was released that people snapped up copies at high prices.
“Print! Since there is a market, why not print it? But at most print another million copies!
A total of three million copies, far exceeding our previous expectation of one million copies.
I believe Lin Huowang will be satisfied with such results. The key lies in the sustainability in the future.
We cannot take advantage of the scarcity of the magazine all at once. In the words of Lin Huowang, we need to spend several issues to train up this group of professional scalpers.
Once the scalpers are full, they will work harder to help us buy and promote Dragon Jump..."
Looking at the rapidly rising data and the spontaneous publicity from many newspapers and media, Keiko Kobayashi finally put her mind at ease.
She wanted to call immediately and tell Lin Huowang about the grand scene here.
But seeing that the sales volume was at two million copies, she thought about waiting a little longer, and when the sales volume exceeded three million copies tomorrow, she would give Lin Huowangjun a surprise.
…
But she could wait, but the editors in the editorial department of the comic magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" couldn't sit still at all.
"How is it? Is Dragon Jump still selling so well today? I saw in the newspaper that some people are offering five times the price to buy it!"
"I admit that these four comics are indeed very good, but it's not necessary to pay extra money to buy them, right?"
“If Dragon Jump is still as popular as it was yesterday, it would have sold two million copies in two days.
