Three hours after the first issue of Top Hat magazine was released.
The phone number of the magazine department led by Jiang Liu Meimei was off the hook!
Some of these people are readers who have purchased Top Hat magazine.
Their words were full of praise for "Top Hat" magazine and "A Platycodon Flower" by Kyousuke Maijo!
Many people are asking if there is a discount on a full year subscription to Top Hat magazine!
The other group of people were those who had not purchased "Top Hat" magazine. They complained very much, saying frankly that the circulation of "Top Hat" magazine was too small.
Because "Top Hat" magazine was extremely popular in Tokyo, Maijo Kyousuke's reputation quickly expanded among the crowd, which resulted in "Top Hat" magazine being sold out as soon as it was released.
As a result, many people have not been able to see Maijo Keisuke's works, and they strongly requested Kodansha to reprint them.
Jiang Liumei sat on the chair, watching all the employees in the magazine department holding their phones and recording feedback about "Top Hat" magazine, with a satisfied smile on her face.
After all, creating a very popular mystery magazine is what I, a mystery fan, have always longed for.
Not to mention, the popularity of "Top Hat" magazine this time has invisibly brought Maijo Kyousuke a very high reputation!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was a knock on the door of the magazine department, and the head of the sales department, Yasunori Mikoshiba, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit and leather shoes, walked in.
I saw that there were constant calls in the magazine department, and everyone was busy dealing with matters related to "Top Hat" magazine.
Even Yasunori Mikoshiba, who is known as the "King of Sales" within Kodansha, couldn't help but be stunned.
However, it was only for a moment.
Mikoshiba Yasunori quickly regained his expressionless expression and looked at Eryumi who was sitting on the chair:
"Miss Eryu, President Noma and I have something to interview with you. Please come with me."
Eryumi is not sure why Noma Genjiro is looking for her.
But being able to get Yasunori Mikoshiba, the head of the sales department, to come to him obviously means that the matter to be discussed this time is related to "Top Hat" magazine!
Eryumi followed Mikoshiba Yasunori to the president's office.
This tit-for-tat is different from the last time.
The fat Genjiro Noma didn't know what was going on, but he actually took the initiative to bring a chair, tea, and fruits to Eryumei, as if he wanted to support Eryumei.
Eryu's beautiful mother is the president of Futaba Society, although the size of Futaba Society cannot be compared with that of Kodansha, a leading mystery publishing house.
But Jiang Liu's beautiful aura is still much stronger than ordinary people.
Pushing the fruit in front of her casually, Eryome looked at Genjiro Noma with her almond-shaped eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything:
"President Noma, just say whatever you want. There is no need to do this."
Jiang Liu's beautiful eyes glanced at the tea and fruits on the table, with a faint smile on her face.
Genjiro Noma saw Eryumei saying this, a happy smile appeared on his fat face, he took a sip of tea and said:
"I just like Miss Jiang Liu's character! She doesn't mince words. In that case, I'll just say it straight!"
"Miss Jiang Liu, the popularity of "Top Hat" magazine is completely beyond my expectation!"
"I want to print 300,000 more copies of Top Hat magazine!"
After hearing what Noma Genjiro said, Eryumei showed a confused look on her face. She lowered her head and glanced at her watch, and then asked Noma Genjiro in confusion:
"President Noma? What are you talking about?"
"Magazine printing? If it was three hours ago, we could have the printing factory rush to print it out before six p.m."
"But it's already eleven o'clock now? After printing an additional 300,000 copies of the magazine, it will be nine o'clock in the afternoon at the earliest. Who will come to buy magazines at that time?"
"In addition, rashly increasing the magazine's circulation will make it difficult for advertisers. After all, we charge fees based on a circulation of 500,000..."
Genjiro Noma heard Eryu's beautiful words, stretched out his index finger, shook it from side to side twice, and said with a smile:
"Miss Jiang Liu, I understand your concerns, but the popularity of Top Hat magazine came too suddenly!"
"According to the information I have received so far, Mr. Maijo Kyousuke's popularity is still rising at the moment."
"Furthermore, the reputation of "A Platycodon Flower" is also growing rapidly. Under such circumstances, we obviously still have many potential customers that we have not tapped."
"So, I plan to sell 300,000 additional printed copies of Top Hat magazine tomorrow, Tuesday."
Eryumi couldn't understand Genjiro Noma's operation, and had a troubled look on her face:
"But...President Noma..."
Before Eryu finished her beautiful words, she was interrupted by Noma Genjiro's words:
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang Liu, the 300,000 copies of the magazine that were printed will be sold, and it will count towards the performance of you and the sales department."
"If I make a mistake in judgment and fail to sell, I will bear all the consequences personally!"
"But... Miss Jiang Liu, you must agree to my request!"
After hearing what Genjiro Noma said, Eryumi asked curiously:
"any request?"
Noma Genjiro's fat face showed a fierce look:
"Miss Eryu, no matter what, please keep Mr. Kyousuke Maijo!"
"Because this time I am printing an additional 300,000 copies of "Top Hat", not to earn magazine subscriptions, nor to let advertisers increase advertising fees!"
"This time, I chose to publish Top Hat magazine on Tuesday, just to be less aggressive than other magazines!"
"Thus quickly swallowing the short story magazine cake!"
"And the most important of these is Mr. Maijo Keisuke's addictive potion!"
"As long as I have this addictive potion, I can crush other publishers!!!"
"Become the leader among short mystery magazines! This will further expand Kodansha's position in the mystery literary world!"
Eryumi heard what Genjiro Noma said, and then she remembered it belatedly.
Due to the overwhelming momentum of Maijo Keisuke, other magazines did not want to collide with the "rambling horror train" of "Top Hat" magazine!
So we decided to postpone the release of the magazine to Tuesday to reduce the pressure on magazine sales.
After all, a magazine is very thick. Unless you like it very much, no one will buy two magazines of the same type at once!
If you buy "Top Hat", you will have one less chance to sell other magazines!
Genjiro Noma's idea was that since he couldn't hit them the first time, he should immediately turn the car around while the momentum was still there!
Taking advantage of the huge advantage at this moment, he crashed into the opponent again!
Leave no room for survival for the other party!
Thinking of this, Eryome was surprised to realize that Genjiro Noma, who had always seemed fat and big-headed, was the one who was hiding the most!
In his fat body, there is not only food, but also a terrifying business acumen and a cruel heart!
——
After leaving the president's office, Jiang Liumei ended today's work early.
It's not quite right to say that she was finishing her work, because she left the company early to meet that important person.
First, I wanted to see if this guy was slacking off and seriously preparing a short mystery novel for the next issue of "Top Hat" magazine.
Secondly, I simply want to talk to him and share with him my joy today...
