In early May of the 107th year of the Recovery Calendar, a magazine called "Pokémon" suddenly broke into the sight of most urban residents in the Donghuang Federation in a rampant manner.
I don’t know how much money the people behind this magazine spent on promotion. In the end, as long as you open your eyes, people will always find a way to get advertisements in front of you.
Among them, TV advertisements, pop-up advertisements and advertisements on streets and alleys are all routine operations. In short, there are many kinds of advertisements, and there is always one that suits you.
So under this level of indiscriminate bombardment, the popularity of the magazine "Pokémon" in the Donghuang Federation has reached an unprecedented level, and at the same time, because it is also written by the big man who created the magical species of elves. Jiang Ming personally endorsed the book, so even if some people were dissatisfied, everyone would buy a copy out of curiosity.
Whether they have elves or not, or really like elves.
Jiang Ming found a large number of professionals to strictly formulate the content distribution in the magazine, and will make adjustments at any time later.
Because it was the first issue, in order to attract attention, Jiang Ming followed the principle of increasing the quantity without increasing the price, and directly made a magazine priced at only ten federal coins to 130 pages.
You must know that this is a standard 16-karat magazine, and the paper, ink and printing costs are almost the same.
Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the external environment, Jiang Ming had to position "Pokémon" as a monthly magazine first, because if it were a weekly magazine, it is very likely that during the transportation of the next issue, cities that may have been available in the previous issue will not be started. For sale.
At that time, a lot of waste will inevitably occur. Although Jiang Ming is not short of money, he cannot be so wasteful.
…
The contents of this magazine are diverse, but they are basically related to elves.
For example, at the beginning, there is an introduction to the attributes of elves written by Jiang Ming himself, as well as the characteristics of elves with each attribute.
At the same time, similar content is that each issue will briefly introduce all the forms of an elf, including the appearance, name and attributes of each form, as well as a small number of skills that can be learned.
Jiang Ming was not stupid. He couldn't tell all the secrets of the elf in a magazine that only sold for ten yuan. After all, that would not only affect the elf's sales in the future, but also might give the enemy a knife.
As for the elf in the first phase, it is naturally Kuailong who is the most famous among all the elves!
Kuailong is Jiang Ming's initial elf and the first elf born in the world, so it is well deserved to be featured in the first issue of "Pokémon's Introduction".
Although this kind of knowledge can be found in the accompanying cultivation manual as long as you purchase the elf.
But even when the cheapest elves can be purchased for less than five figures, there are always some people in the world who cannot afford elves.
What's more, even if there are many people who have this money, they don't dare to spend it casually due to certain concerns.
But now if they want to learn about elves, they can first buy a copy of "Pokémon" for ten yuan, and then make a final decision after getting a preliminary understanding of the elves.
Then there are some practical parts in the magazine from Jiang Ming's breeding garden, or other people's submissions about tips on raising certain elves.
Again, not everyone can raise elves well just by relying on a breeding manual, not to mention that the magazine also provides some tips that cannot be found elsewhere. If someone buys this book If the people at the magazine happen to have the same elf, this alone will pay for itself.
In addition to the things mentioned above, Jiang Ming also added several stories submitted by trainers about themselves and their elves in this magazine.
Some of the stories are heartwarming, some touching, and of course noisy and happy.
As someone who used to read magazines to relieve boredom when he was a child, Jiang Ming knows very well that sometimes it is this kind of true story that touches people's hearts the most.
Of course, as a professional magazine, how could Jiang Ming forget to add some jokes in it?
In order to show off his wealth, Jiang Ming also hired someone to draw the elf jokes in each issue of "Ten Jokes" into color comics, which can not only enhance the look and feel, but also use some color gags in the jokes.
As a result, the cost is higher, but for Jiang Ming and his partners, these increased costs are just a drop in the bucket, and they can be easily earned back.
Finally, there is one of the core parts of the magazine, the comic "Adventure in the Elf World" drawn by teacher Liu Qianqian.
It is also in full color, and one chapter contains nearly twenty leaves, accounting for almost one-fifth of the magazine's capacity.
However, the benefits of doing so are also obvious, because just one week after the official release of "Pokémon", a big storm has been set off in the entire Donghuang Federation. For a time, almost the entire Eastern Alliance Cities big and small are talking about it.
The price is so cheap that even a child can bite the bullet and buy a copy of "Pokémon", let alone others.
With such horrific sales, it is not incomprehensible that "Pokémon" can reach this level of topic discussion.
And the most important point is that according to the rules set by Jiang Ming, each issue of "Pokémon" will automatically log into the official local area network of the city that has a sales record of fifteen days half a month after the physical version is released. People in the city can directly log on to the official website to view it for free.
As the saying goes, if you are rich, you will not be short of money!
…
The timeline goes back to June. As the second issue of "Pokémon" was released almost a week ago, Jiang Ming was nervously staying in his office waiting for the sales results of this issue.
Because no one knows how many people will pay attention to the "Pokémon" magazine after the novelty wears off.
Although the content inside is new to most people, won’t there be e-magazines in the future? At most, I'll just have to endure it for half a month.
At worst, you can ask someone else to borrow it, or several people can join forces to buy a copy.
Anyway, this thing is not encrypted.
"Mr. Jiang, the data has been compiled. As of June 5th, the sales volume of the second issue of "Pokémon" is about 700,000 copies, which is almost a million copies lower than the first issue."
At this time, Xue Wenhui's personal assistant reported the results to Jiang Minghui.
"Seven hundred thousand copies? How many are left? I thought it could drop below half a million!" Jiang Ming was actually a little surprised.
