Eryome is worthy of being the daughter of the president of the Futaba Club.
She is even more worthy of her title as a genius girl.
Since then, five people, including Toru Miyoshi, Takao Tsuchiya, Chen Shunchen, Manji Gonada, and Hiroshi Itsuki, have jointly written comments for "A Platycodon Flower".
Eryumi immediately reported the good news to the ears of Kodansha President Genjiro Noma!
Jiang Liumei has great ambitions.
It was so big that even the president of Kodansha, Genjiro Noma, looked shocked!
"What? Miss Jiangliu? How many copies did you say you wanted to increase the magazine's circulation?"
In the president's office.
Eryumei looked at Genjiro Noma with a big belly, and once again stretched out five fingers:
"President Noma! I plan to increase the number of copies of the magazine from 100,000 to 500,000!"
Genjiro Noma patted one ear hard, and found that Eryu's beauty was not a joke at all, with a shocked look on his face:
"Miss Jiang Liu, are you crazy?"
"This is the first issue of a new magazine. Do you plan to issue half a million copies?"
"Do you know what this means?"
Eryu's beautiful and serious Asanoma Genjiro nodded:
"President Noma, I'm not crazy, I know what I'm doing."
"Otherwise I wouldn't have come here and told you my plan."
When Genjiro Noma heard Eryu's beautiful words, he kept tapping his index finger on his desk with an unhappy expression:
"Miss Jiangliu, you must understand that I hired you to start the magazine so that you can get a share of the market for short mystery magazines."
"I'm not asking you to compete with "Novel Gems" from Guangwen Society, "Novel Mystery" from Baodao Society, and "ALL Readings" from Literary Spring Society!"
"The suggestion I gave before was to publish it in the form of a weekly, with a circulation of 50,000 copies each time. If it sells well, we can print more copies in proportion."
"It's just because you have confidence that I agree to print an additional 100,000 copies!"
"This is the limit of what I can give!"
"Increase to 500,000 copies? Even the "ALL" reading material, which has a huge circulation, only averaged one million copies per issue last year!"
"You are a newly founded magazine and you don't have a heavyweight author on it. Why do you think it can sell 500,000 copies?"
Eryumei didn't say anything, but took out the manuscript of "A Platycodon Flower" from her bag and placed it in front of Genjiro Noma.
Genjiro Noma patted the manuscript of "A Platycodon Flower" with his hand and shook his head lightly:
"Teacher Wucheng is indeed a rare genius. I also saw Miss Jiangliu help Teacher Wucheng win the Climbing Dragon Award on the stage."
"It's just that Mr. Wucheng's Denglong Award can only prove that he is a qualified writer, but it cannot make readers believe that he is a master of reasoning."
"In other words, the current Wucheng teacher has no appeal, and there is no guarantee that these 500,000 copies of the magazine will be snapped up!"
Eryumi remained silent, and took out the comments written by Miyoshi Tetsu, Takao Tsuchiya, Chen Shunchen, Gonada Manji, and Itsuki Hiroshi from the briefcase for "A Platycodon Flower" and placed them in the field. In front of Genjiro.
Genjiro Noma looked at the comments of the five masters and raised his stubby eyebrows uncontrollably:
"This is……?"
Eryumi moved a chair and sat in front of Noma Genjiro:
"It's true, President Noma. I don't dare to fake this kind of thing."
Genjiro Noma looked at the comments of the five masters in front of him, with unconcealable joy on his face.
Chubby's face trembled slightly:
"Three hundred thousand copies! For the sake of Miss Jiangliu, you can get the joint comments from the five masters, the biggest concession I can make is to increase the number of magazines for you to three hundred thousand copies!"
Eryumi stretched out her hand and snatched the comment from Noma Genjiro's hand, shaking it in the air:
"President Noma, please understand that I am not negotiating terms with you by presenting "A Platycodon Flower" and the joint comments of the five masters."
"I'm just letting you know that I'm going to increase my magazine to half a million copies."
"Of course you can choose not to add more, but I can also leave with Teacher Wucheng's "A Platycodon Flower" and the comments of the five masters."
When Genjiro Noma heard Eryu's beautiful words, his brows instantly rose and his expression became a little ugly.
But before Noma Genjiro could say anything, he saw Eryumei shaking the comment on his hand and smiled:
"President Noma, are you willing to take a gamble with me and let my magazine surpass Takarashimasha's "Novel Mystery" in one fell swoop and become the short story mystery magazine with the third largest circulation in Japan?"
"Are you going to be timid and give up this rare opportunity?"
——
With the "support" of Kodansha President Genjiro Noma.
Jiang Liu's beautiful magazine was increased to 500,000 copies.
At the same time, the magazine department suddenly dispatched more than 30 additional people to be responsible for the school team and typesetting work.
Jiang Liumeiya originally planned to wait for her sister to get off work early and take her around the neighborhood to see if she could buy some delicious and fun things.
It's a pity that Jiang Liumei is a workaholic.
Once he gets busy, he doesn't care about her at all.
Jiang Liumeiya had no choice but to hold "Watson" and sit on the printer, picking her fingers out of boredom...
——
The five days passed by in a blink of an eye.
The first issue of Jiang Liu's beautiful magazine has been completely typeset and printed.
If nothing else happens, two days later.
That is, on January 14, 1980 (Showa 55), my short mystery magazine will be officially released!
For this reason, Jiang Liumeili tried her best. Anyway, success or failure depends on this.
As for why you chose to release it on January 14th?
The reason is simple. After a detailed investigation by Jiang Liumei, it was found that most of the readers who buy mystery magazines are between the ages of 18 and 58.
The most common place for them to read is on the Shinkansen on their way to work.
So, the best day to publish the magazine is Monday!
As long as you can put your magazine on the newsstand on Monday, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell it!
Eryumi drove her red BMW M1 to Asakusa, Taito District, Tokyo.
This time I came to Maijo Kyousuke, in addition to wanting to make an appointment for the next manuscript.
There is one very important thing to do.
That is to take Maijo Keisuke to attend the award ceremony of the Edogawa Ranpo Climbing Dragon Award this afternoon.
The awards ceremony for the Climbing Dragon Award is scheduled for today, and the reason is self-evident.
Because the president of Kodansha, Genjiro Noma, is very worried that Eryome Mei’s half a million copies of the magazine will not be sold.
So I planned to award Maijo Kyousuke the Climbing Dragon Award in advance.
The purpose is to rely on Maijo Keisuke to win the Edogawa Ranpo Climb Award, and to add another layer of insurance to the new magazine!
