Chapter 143: Can you make money this way?!
It only takes a few weeks for the effect to appear.
Many newsstands and bookstores outside school gates are out of stock.
You can see it in the most conspicuous places [Sailor Moon Volume 1 arrives next week! ]
Looking around, the cheaper stickers and key chains have all been sold out.
There is a primary school near the home of 185-year-old man Li Xiaolong.
He is one of those people who are badmouthing this comic.
It’s not that the drawing is bad or the plot is bad, it’s that he really has no interest in this content.
He accidentally discovered the first volume of Sailor Moon in a bookstore in front of the school.
And! It is placed in a prime position in the bookstore - usually where bestsellers are placed.
He was wondering, doesn't this book have a bad reputation?
Even publishing a single volume? Aren't you just waiting to lose money?
Then why don’t I release “The Cooking Master Boy”?
Gas! Shiver! Cold!
Double standard dog! SHIELD is not a human being!
I want to be a troll on the Internet!
As a result, after a while, a steady stream of young girls came to buy books.
I saw that there were fewer and fewer books on the bookshelf.
Li Xiaolong's mouth opened wider and wider!
Damn! It’s selling so well!
In the end, the aunt put up a sign saying [Arriving Saturday]!
Even so, there are still many girls who don't give up.
"Auntie, is it gone?"
"Oh, it's really gone!"
"Don't you have another one?"
"This belongs to my daughter. It's all unsealed. I can't sell it to you!"
"Come on Saturday, I'll keep it for you, and I heard there's a new giveaway this week!"
The little girl's droopy face instantly turned from gloomy to bright.
"Okay, you must keep it for me! You must!"
Li Xiaolong really couldn't help it. He didn't believe that there would be any problem with his taste and judgment of a comic book.
"Auntie, is Sailor Moon so popular?"
"Hey, it's selling like crazy!"
"I only bought 200 books, and they were sold out in two or three days. I kept buying more, and this is the third time!"
"In my store alone, we sell thousands of books in two weeks!"
“I’ve never seen comics sell so well!”
"And those gifts, keychains, stickers, moon prisms, make more money than books..."
!!!
"What's the gift?"
"You, a grown man, also like to watch this?"
"They are all gone. Look at this. I left it for my daughter."
Li Xiaolong took a look at the moon prism and cartoon keychain in his aunt's hand.
"Is this the person and prop that appears in the comics?"
"Yes, my daughter loves it. There are so few of them that it's hard to get one!"
“Those with money paid extra for it…”
"What a shame! I'm an honest person. Some bookstores take this apart and sell it separately! Ten or five yuan each, they can sell for a lot of money!"
Thousands of copies in two weeks! Even bestsellers don’t have this much sales!
This is just one store! And it’s a very inconspicuous little bookstore!
So many comics-related things seem to be selling very well.
Imagine how you would feel if your favorite comics had peripheral products released?!
Damn! Are you crazy?
His intuition told him that SHIELD was playing a big game!
And it may subvert the traditional comic marketing and profit model!
He logged onto the C Station forum with a nervous and excited mood.
I was just about to post this news to share with fellow comic fans.
I found out someone has already taken the lead!
Stone Man: "Everyone, look what I found?!"

"Sailor Moon comic books and merchandise! They say those elementary and middle school girls are going crazy for them, they're selling like hotcakes!"
"They're even collecting! There are a few species here that are so rare, many people are already looking for scalpers!"
"Your message is too late. My sister has already collected a batch with my pocket money! tears.jpg"
"You're still complaining about other people's comics, these are for little girls, okay?"
"I've never seen a comic book sell like this!"
"To put it another way, I've never seen a bestseller sell so fiercely!"
"Check this out! Link:..."
"This is the S.H.I.E.L.D. anime peripheral website, look what else is there?!"
"Damn! Little Master!"
"No more talking, I have something to do first!"
"I also......"
"Haha, you're too late, they're out of stock! There are only a few hundred left, and the ones I grabbed yesterday are already on the way!"
"That's not fair, brother!"
For several days, Lu Xiaoling went through a hellish cycle of repeated demands for delivery.
The phone never stopped ringing from before dawn until ten o'clock at night!
"Teacher Lu, the book is out of stock! When will the next order be shipped?"
"Teacher Lu, we've already printed five copies. Do you think we should print a little more for the next batch? We can arrange for the workers to work in three shifts."
"Teacher Lu, all the peripherals are sold out. When is the earliest the next batch will arrive? We don't have time to paint anymore. Everyone is called to help with customer service..."
Don’t ask, you will regret it if you ask!
First, Lin Mo looked at the number of her first few batches of books and peripherals.
And asked her if it was enough? Is it enough?
She also wanted to say that this was a new thing after all, so it was right to be cautious and conservative.
At the same time, I have temporarily hired two colleagues to work part-time as customer service staff!
She is still the one who connects suppliers and bookstores.
This was the worst decision she had made recently!
She was so busy!
I have been sleeping in the studio with the customer service for the past two days!
Now my hair stands on end when I hear the phone ringing!
No, no, order the big ones first! Then ask Lin Mo for the people!
When the industry learned the news, they were completely dumbfounded.
"What? Which one?"
"You mean Sailor Moon?"
"Isn't it 'Cooking Master Boy'?"
"Single volume?"
"How much did you sell it for?"
"They said they sold 400,000 copies in 3 weeks!"
"How much? I didn't hear clearly?"
“400,000!”
!!!
"Depend on!"
"And the surrounding area, that's even scarier!"
"What is the surrounding area?"
"It's things like dolls, costumes, and props related to the characters or props in the comics!"
"Look! This is the official S.H.I.E.L.D. merchandise website!"
A few people clicked in to see that it was the best-selling item.
Sailor Moon Q-version cartoon keychain - 45 yuan, sales: 2865 pieces...
"How much is this?"
“About 12,000!”
"Get lost! You missed a zero! 129,000!"
!!!
“How can these little things sell so well?”
"I heard that they bought this online because they couldn't get it offline..."
"This is just one of the items, there are more than 20..."
“How much does this thing cost?”
“How much is it?!”
!!!
“They’re also selling it offline!”
"Fuck, now my eyes are really red with envy!"
A week later, it was exactly one month since the first volume of Sailor Moon was released.
SHIELD Comics Studio:
【
Thank you for your love and justice!
The monthly sales of the first volume of "Sailor Moon" exceeded 670,000 copies!
Looking forward to your next visit, Princesses!
】
!!!
Now it’s not just the comic book artists who are jealous!
Even the author couldn't bear to read it!
670,000 copies, why don’t you go to heaven!
"What was the monthly record for the last comic book volume?"
“More than 20…”
"Good guy! Really good guy!"
"There's not a single mention of those millions in merchandise sales!"
"I finally understand how much money you can make drawing comics! 10 yuan a copy, the profit is ridiculously thin!"
"But look around, it costs a few bucks, and they're selling it for 45!"
"Any OEM factory can produce tens of thousands of units in a week!"
"And someone wants to collect a complete set!"
“That’s not even counting the scalpers’ markup!”
"Your Highnesses are really princesses, so rich!"
"Who said comic book fans have no money and just love to get things for free?"
"Also, even though the comics don't have high ratings, the data is amazing!"
"Right, right, right. Their comics, advertising, and peripherals are a completely mature business model!"
“It’s horrible!”
"This studio wasn't originally focused on comics!"
“Can we sell merchandise?”
"Your own comic merchandise? Sure, but you've only sold a few copies of your book, how much do you expect the merchandise to sell?!"
"Selling to S.H.I.E.L.D.? Then you can expect a letter from the lawyer. This is copyrighted!"
