Revive it!Wenhao Press

After taking a bath, the uninvited little black dog, Akutagawa Inu, put on the black long trench coat that Huali Chunhuaka drew, and looked more serious.

Although he cared about Dazai Inu very much, Dazai Inu seemed to ignore him, and kept going his own way.

On the contrary, Chuya Inu, who came back from the car at night, found the Akutagawa Inu that suddenly appeared, and rarely did not have the petty temper of a small dog.The orange puppy took good care of the little black dog, licked the fur on his head, and said proudly that you would just follow me, and even took the Akutagawa dog on the motorcycle on the spot, and went around the yard.

But even so, Akutagawa Inu always approached Dazai Inu secretly, and after being ignored, he went to fight with the little white tiger to vent his anger.

***

Two days later, it was the day Hualichun and the representative of Songfengtang agreed to meet.

The representative of Shofudo is a young man who looks about 30 years old.After meeting Hualichun, he showed a surprised expression, obviously he didn't expect that the person on Hoshino Club's side was such a young and immature girl.

"Excuse me, you are from Hoshinosha..." He frowned, looking around while speaking, as if looking for other possibilities.

"I am the current person in charge of Hoshinosha." Jun Huali said quickly, and took out the business card she had printed and handed it to the representative of Shofudo.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is inconvenient for the representative of Songfengtang to say anything more.After exchanging business cards with Hualichun, he sat down.

Hoshino Club is still too rudimentary, so at the suggestion of Gongqian Jian, the meeting place was arranged in a relatively secluded coffee shop.After the representative of Shofudo sat down, he ordered a cup of coffee and took out a document from his bag.

"Miss Huali should already know why I'm here. I'm the manager of Songfengtang Bookstore. This time, I'm here to put your company's "Monthly Literature" on the store's shelves for sale."

He put the document in his hand on the table and pushed it to Hualichun, "This is our store's plan. Although this plan is only for the next six months, if the sales volume is good, we will also have a long-term cooperation with your company." cooperate."

Hualichun said softly, "Please let me pay a visit", and then picked up the proposal.

"As for the terms in the proposal, if Ms. Huali agrees, then we can draw up the contract." The representative of Songfengtang said.

Although Hoshinosha does not have legal staff, the function of drafting contracts can also be provided by "Let's Revive!"Wenhao Publishing House" was completed, Hualichun was not too worried about this.But after reading Songfengtang's proposal from beginning to end, her eyes stopped on a certain line.

"The plan says that for the next fifth issue of "Monthly Literature", your store plans to purchase 300 volumes..."

Hualichun raised her head and looked at the representative of Songfengtang: "Is 300 volumes too little?"

"You don't have to worry about this." The representative of Songfutang replied quickly, "If the sales are sold out in a short period of time, our store will place additional orders."

Hualichun was silent for a few seconds, and then asked again: "But if only 300 volumes are planned to be purchased at the beginning, "Monthly Literature" will be displayed on the bookshelf in a vertical manner with only the spine exposed, or it will be placed under other books. Bar?"

"It will indeed be placed in this way." The representative of Songfengtang admitted.

"The number of volumes can be temporarily set at 300, but can we choose to lay them flat with the cover exposed?" Hualichun asked, "Four months ago, the sales volume of the first issue of "Monthly Literature" was 1000 copies, but in March Months later, the printing volume of the fourth issue became 40 copies, which is 50 times that of the first issue, and the sales volume has reached [-]% within a week. This is enough to prove the potential of "Monthly Literature". If you If the store chooses to change the display method to reveal more covers, the sales will definitely be more."

"This is a bit..."

The representative of Songfengtang hesitated for a while, but said: "I will not give "Monthly Literature" more positions. The content in the proposal is all the conditions that our store can provide. If you disagree, This cooperation can only be terminated. Miss Huali, what is your opinion?"

Hualichun was silent for a moment.

This was the first opportunity she had waited for for more than three months to have Hoshinosha's magazines on the shelves of the bookstore.Although excited at the beginning, Huali Jun soon realized that continuing at this pace was still too slow for the goal of bringing Hoshino Club back to the number one within two years.

If they agree to Shofudo's conditions, the "Monthly Literature" placed vertically should also be able to get good sales due to its quality.But "good" is not enough, "good" is too mediocre.What Hualichun needs is a brain-explosive result.

There must be a phenomenon-level effect of "the turnover of the bookstore that just put "Monthly Literature" on the shelves was greatly increased by "Monthly Literature" alone."In this way, other bookstores will stop watching and rush to put "Monthly Literature" on the shelves in large quantities.

If you don't do this, you won't be able to surpass "The Age of Literature and Art" with an average sales volume of 300 million copies within two years.

What is currently in front of Hualichun is a gamble.

Should they agree to Shofudo's conditions and win a cooperative bookstore first, or should they reject the first possible cooperative bookstore that appeared in the past three months in order to pursue explosive results.

"Sorry." Hua Lichun finally lowered his head and bowed to the representative of Songfengtang, "If I can't guarantee a sales method with greater exposure, I can't cooperate with your store."

"...Really? That's a pity." The representative of Songfutang put away the proposal and stood up.

He didn't even touch the coffee on the table.

When leaving, Hualichun vaguely heard the representative of Songfengtang whisper: "It's a small publishing house that has finally improved, but it still has such a big shelf. Bailang has already issued a notice that the next issue of "Literary Times" will publish the "world" "King of Kings" short stories by Mr. Xiaoshan. Who will buy "Monthly Literature" at that time."

"It's really a picture of a little girl who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth. I thought Hoshinosha could get up, but in the hands of this young girl, it really can't. This brat is really abnormal."

Although it seemed inadvertent, every word of the representative of Songfengtang was passed into Hualichun's ears.Presumably he deliberately wanted Hualichun to hear this.

"..."

Hualichun's eyes flickered.

If it was Hualichun in the past, the Hualichun who thought he was a normal, ordinary person would definitely make a choice to seek stability.

But the moment she took over Hoshinosha, met Gojo Satoru, and the moment she learned of the existence of the Chanyuan family, she couldn't return to the normal track.

If there are only two ways to go, being abnormal and being controlled by others, she would rather become abnormal.

However, it turned out that the representative of Songfengtang was unwilling to make more bookshelf space for "Monthly Literature" because of this incident.

If this is true, then her next talks with the remaining two bookstores Sanxianya and Ueno Bookstore may not be optimistic.

Thinking of this, Hualichun frowned, and the scene he saw in Songfengtang the day before appeared in his mind.

"The Age of Literature and Art"...is it again?

***

"Almost forgot. This is for you."

On the table in front of the vending machine in Tokyo High School, three magazines fell with a "snap".The two male high school students sitting at the table chatting with drinks couldn't help but look up suspiciously, looking at the girl who threw the magazine in front of them.

"Glass, what is this?" Xia Youjie asked.

""The Age of Literature and Art", isn't it written on the cover? I bought three copies on the way to the task a few days ago, and I just remembered to show them to you."

Jia Ruozi casually chose a can of coffee in front of the vending machine, and sat down with the coffee, "Recently, because of the "Monthly Literature" recommended by Wu, I have also become a little interested in literature. But "Monthly Literature" is only a month old. One issue, so I'm going to find some other magazines to read."

"Glass, are you contradicting me?" Wujo Wujo rested his chin, his clear blue eyes glanced at the magazine on the table through the edge of his sunglasses, but he didn't take it, "I know that I am "Monthly Literature" Pie, and buy this."

"Don't be so naive, okay? You can't read other magazines because you can't read "Monthly Literature." Iejin Glass glanced at the strawberry milk in Gojo Satoru's hand, "And spying on the enemy is very important."

"I heard from the clerk in the bookstore that this "Literary Times" is currently the highest-selling magazine in Japan, with an average sales volume of 300 million copies per issue. The clerk desperately recommended me to buy it." She opened the coffee can and took a copy of "Literary Times" "Dragged it to me and opened it, "And I saw someone reading "The Age of Literature and Art" in the bookstore. Because the girl who read the magazine reacted so cute when she was asked a question, so I finally decided to buy it."

"What's the reason?" Gojo Satoru couldn't help being speechless for a while.

But the "theory of spying on the enemy's situation" mentioned by Jiarui Glass still made him look a little more serious, and he reached out to pick up a copy of "The Age of Literature and Art".

The average sales volume of 300 million copies made Gojo Satoru feel incredible.If Hoshinosha wants to return to the number one position in the industry, "The Age of Literature and Art" is the high wall it has to overcome.

"Then let me read it too." Xia Youjie smiled and picked up the last one.

The three of them didn't speak any more, but instead read the magazines in their hands.

Time passed by every minute and every second, only the rustling sound of turning pages accompanied by cicadas.

Finally, the three of them closed the magazine one after another.

"What do you think?" Gojo Wu frowned, and asked Jiarui Nizi and Xia Youjie.

"...As expected of the magazine with the highest sales volume, every article in this "Literary Times" is very readable." Xia Youjie commented, "And these articles are very comfortable to read, it seems that the editorial department Readers' needs have been fully considered."

"Jie is right. The quality of the magazine surpassed my imagination, and I was even a little surprised." Jiarui Glass agreed, "This "Literary Times" is indeed better than the fourth issue of "Monthly Literature" just released."

"Overall, I like "The Times of Literature" more." Xia Youjie said again, ""The Times of Literature" is the overlord of magazines after all. If we put "The Times of Literature" and "Monthly Literature" together to fight, " It is normal for Monthly Literature to lose to it."

Hearing the comments from his friends, Gojo Satoru's expression was a little unsightly.

He knew what they said was true, and he had to admit afterwards that if there were no articles, "Literary Times" could not become the magazine with the highest sales volume.

However, compared with "Monthly Literature", "Literary Times" seems to be...

"No. I don't think Monthly Literature lost."

Unexpectedly, Jia Ruozi did not continue to agree with Xia Youjie's statement.

Both Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie looked at Jiarui Nizi in surprise.And the girl tapped the empty coffee can with her fingers, and said while thinking: "Although the current "Literary Times" in the same issue is better than "Monthly Literature", "Monthly Literature" has not lost."

"Although the content of "Literary Times" is excellent, the articles on it are not as good as those in "Monthly Literature." Jia Ruozi said, "Although I don't understand literary criticism, I can't say much, but But I can feel it."

Gojo Satoru's eyes lit up: "Yes, I think so too!"

"The difference between "Monthly Literature" and "Literary Times" is not the content of the articles, but the form of the magazine. What's more, the number of articles in "Monthly Literature" is far less rich than that of "Literary Times". In general, Hoshinosha Although there are not many writers who have debuted so far, they are all monsters, but the girl from the publishing house Wu knows just took over this kind of work, she seems too immature, and she needs to work harder."

"If a writer's talent is limited, he will not be able to write works that break through his own abilities. But as long as you are motivated to run a magazine, it is not difficult to improve. Just imagine."

Jia Ruozi raised his index finger: "When "Monthly Literature" becomes more mature, and there are more and more monster-level writers, how terrifying Hoshinosha will become."

At that moment, Gojo Satoru's eyes lit up.

"I can't tell, Nitro!" He picked up his phone abruptly and stood up, "I'll send an email first."

"...I said you," Jiarui Nitrozi said casually, "If you care so much, why don't you just date her?"

"what?"

Gojo Satoru was taken aback for a moment, then stopped suddenly.

The white-haired boy frowned, and said to himself as if he was thinking about something: "Is there such an option? So that's the case, then what happens next, maybe it will become like that..."

Seeing this, Jia Ruozi couldn't help being a little surprised: "No, I was just joking, are you really thinking about this possibility? Don't, don't harm other people's little girls!"

"You really can't talk, Nitro," Gojo Satoru cast a look at her dissatisfied, "You speak as if I'm some terrible guy. I'm one of the handsome guys in a million. But..."

The boy with white hair and sunglasses threw the mobile phone in his hand, and said suddenly: "If we really dated, we wouldn't be able to enjoy watching her attack step by step like now. It's pure joy."

"It's more interesting now. And it's better for the little girl not to associate with other men. I don't want anyone to intervene."

After hearing Wujo Wu's speech, Jiarui Nitzi said with disgust: "You're so stubborn. Anyway, even if you want to make a move, you will definitely be rejected by others."

"No." Gojo Satoru showed his white teeth and smiled, "I will agree."

Seeing the figure of Gojo Satoru bouncing away, Jiarui Nizi curled his lips: "It's so childish."

And at this moment, Xia Youjie spoke.

"Glass, I don't think so about what you said just now."

Xia Youjie shook his head, and said slowly, "I don't think "Monthly Literature" can win against "Literary Times."

"Oh?" Jiarui Nitzi was a little surprised, "What do you think?"

"Because the works published in "Monthly Literature" have too much negative emotional color."

The black-haired boy said slowly: "As conjurers, we deal with these negative emotions every day, and our mission is to eliminate the curse formed by negative emotions. If the works on "Literary Times" are king, then "Monthly Literature" The works on the Internet are evil."

"Although evil ways are not without merit, I always believe that the kingly way should win."

Picking up "The Times of Literature and Art" in front of him, Xia Youjie smiled at Jia Ruzi: "Thank you for the magazine, Nitro. I'm going back too."

After Xia Youjie walked away, Jiarui Nizi finally took out a mint-flavored women's cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled a faint white smoke.

"The articles in "Monthly Literature" are not evil ways, but kingly ways."

"The second childish ghost." She leaned on the back of the chair with a cigarette in her mouth, straightened her sore legs after sitting for a long time, looked up at the sky and said to herself, "This group of problem children is really frustrating. Take care."
