When the thoughts passed, Le Yiling began to talk about happy things again: "You asked Chang Guangxi to find the group of people from the US factory who went to Japan, and told them to contact Tokujian Kangkuai, and he agreed. We use his Tokuma Shoten channel to distribute comic books, as well as terms such as prices. Tokuma Yasukai also agreed to send the first batch of 1 million weekly comics to Japan, which is more than twice the size of our basic market in Xiangjiang ah!"

"Mr. Tokuma is a friend of our Hua people, and he has a deep affection for Shanghai Animation Film Studio. He is definitely willing to help." Yin Jun said, "What's more, the quality of our comic books is very good. Dejian Mister can see that too."

In order for Tokuma Yasukai to see his own strength, Yin Jun specially asked Chang Guangxi to go to Japan with a sample booklet of the comic weekly, and visited Tokuma Yasukai with an animator in Japan, and gave the comic weekly to Japan He read it.

The sample booklet of Comic Weekly was translated by Le Yiling in the studio and invited several Xiangjiang reporters who are proficient in Japanese. Judging from Yin Jun’s half-baked Japanese, it is quite different from the original Japanese comic books he saw in his previous life. There is not much difference—after all, these reporters have lived in Japan for more than seven or eight years, and are very familiar with Japanese language habits.

As long as you are not a fool, you can see the power of the stories in the weekly comics.

In addition, Tokuma Kangkai is an absolute fan of Huaguo, so he readily agreed to cooperate with Yin Jun.

The contract conditions given by Yin Jun are based on the thickness of the current Japanese manga magazines and monthly magazines. The price is 180 yen, which is about 3.5 Hong Kong dollars, and then it is subject to arrival at Tokyo Port and Osaka Port. The previous transportation costs are Kylin Culture Co., Ltd. is responsible for it, and the transportation in Japan is undertaken by Tokuma Shoten.

Yin Jun’s CIF price is 3.5% off to Dejian Bookstore, which translates to 2.275 Hong Kong dollars, while Yin Jun’s CIF cost price is 1.875 yuan, basically only earning 0.4 Hong Kong dollars per book.

Calculated according to this price, plus shipping costs, the cost of Tokuma Shoten’s comic weekly magazines is at most 30% off, while the wholesale prices of the three major comic book magazines in Japan are all 20% off. A bookstore can make a lot of money.

As for whether the number of 1 million copies can be sold out quickly, Tokuma Yasukai himself is not very worried, because he is a reporter himself, and he has been a bookstore for so many years, so he must know what is a good manga and what is not. comics.

"However, Mr. Tokuma also made a request." Le Yiling said, "That is, after our original proofreading in Chinese came out, he hoped that we would fax it over and let the Japanese side translate the Japanese version...he said that this kind of translation Although the standard is good, it doesn’t match the manga language style so well, so it’s better to have someone special to do it.”

"Yes." Yin Jun nodded.

To be honest, one volume is only 0.4 Hong Kong dollars, and 1 million volumes is only 400,000 Hong Kong dollars. Tokuma Yasukuai earns 1 Hong Kong dollar for one volume, and Yin Jun earns much less than Tokuma Yasuo.

But things can't be viewed that way.

Without Tokuma Yasukai, Yin Jun would not be able to enter the Japanese market so conveniently, let alone sell 1 million copies.

Although I am earning a little less now, Yin Jun is not only looking forward to the current 1 million copies, but also the 6.5 million copies of "Weekly Shonen Jump" in the future, waving to Yin Jun!

At the same time, the yen will continue to appreciate, and Yin Jun's profits will be even greater.

Besides, what about the booklet? The booklet costs 300 yen in Japan, how much does it cost?

There are also cartoons, various peripherals... Aren't these all money?

Compared with these, the money earned from a mere comic book that develops the market is completely negligible!

On the other hand, giving up this little money and benefits and making friends like Tokuma Yasukai will be very beneficial to Yin Jun's future development.

In Japan now, there are definitely more people who know Chinese than thirty years later. Tokuma Yasushi soon spoke fluent Chinese and could write beautiful calligraphy.

A few years later, when he met Zhang Yumou, he surprised Lao Mouzi with his fluent Chinese, and the calligraphy he gave to Lao Mouzi was treasured by Lao Mouzi.

Oh, yes, from the 1980s to the 1990s, among the directors in Huaguo, Lao Mouzi was the only one who made movies without worrying about the budget. The reason was that Yasukai Tokuma was investing in him.

This Japanese communist, an absolutely die-hard Chinese fan, had his teeth broken by militants during World War II because he opposed Japan's invasion of China.

Last year, Takakura Ken's "The Hunt" and Yamaguchi Momoe's "Blood Suspicion" were introduced to China by Tokuma Yasushi. Since the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, he has been promoting cultural exchanges between Japan and China. , is a rare Japanese who sincerely cares about China.

That's why Yin Jun chose to cooperate with him.

Not to let Tokuma Yasukai help him, but to give Tokuma Yasukai a chance to become the most influential super culture and entertainment tycoon in Japan!

Comic Weekly is only a small part of the cooperation. In the future, Yin Jun will also distribute his films in Japan to Tokuma Yasushi, and even other import and export cooperation, etc., will try to find him to cooperate.

Remember Yin Jun's strategy?

If you don't want Japan to become so strong that it becomes a single rope, you must have two opposing factions in Japan.

A group of people in Japan who are friendly to China in the future have been completely marginalized, which is why Koizumi and Abe are so unscrupulous. If there is someone as influential and wealthy as Tokuma Yasukai who disagrees What they did, do you think Japan will deal with Huaguo like that?

And this is what Yin Jun has always done, just like how Yin Jun treated Cheng Long. If you treat us well, then you should be rewarded. Let those white-eyed wolves and centrists see that it is also beneficial to be friendly with the mainland This can win more partners.

"Also, I thought about it. Yasukai Tokuma is still too careful. Our comics will definitely not be bad!" Le Yiling said, "Do you think we should ship the planned 3 million copies to the port first and store them temporarily? When they want to add more, can they get it directly from Japan without such a hasty transfer?"

"Sister, you are so smart!" Yin Jun's eyes lit up, "We will do it like this!"

Tokuma Yasukai didn't know how powerful Manga Weekly was, but Yin Jun knew it!

Not to mention 1 million copies, 3 million copies, the sales went smoothly, even if it was 5 million copies, Yin Jun would not be surprised at all.

Randomly pick out a copy from here, they are super comics that have been tested by the market, if they are not sold well, it is definitely Yin Jun and the production team's problem, and has nothing to do with the quality of the classic itself.

Therefore, all the 3 million volumes to Japan will be shipped to Japan's port in advance, and a warehouse will be rented for storage. This will not only save transportation costs, but also quickly make up when the stock is out of stock. Occupying the market one step at a time will not consume the enthusiasm of readers in vain.

"As for South Korea, we don't have the channel for the time being, and we can't make it yet. We have to wait for the word-of-mouth to ferment, and then let them introduce it themselves." Le Yiling said, "Otherwise, the Korean version of the weekly manga magazine will be produced, and the manga magazine will be released again." If you can’t get through for a while, so much cost will be wasted.”

"Yes." Yin Jun nodded, "There is no rush, as long as our reputation is established, the Korean market will be ours!"

South Korea's pursuit of animation is worse than Japan's, but it is definitely very powerful.

It's just that Japan is South Korea's deadly enemy, and many Japanese cultures are inherently at a disadvantage in spreading in South Korea. That's why Japan's three major weekly manga magazines and other overlords have not set off much waves in South Korea.

However, the single volumes of Japanese classic comics still sell very high in South Korea.

For example, "Dragon Ball", "Saint Seiya", "Slam Dunk", "Naruto", "One Piece"...etc, they are all very popular comic books.

Now it has become a comic book produced by Xiangjiang. Originally, Xiangjiang's movies and TV shows are very popular among Koreans, so Xiangjiang's weekly comics naturally have no obstacles.

In addition, the names and so on are all changed to the names of the Chinese people, which makes Koreans have no dyslexia-most of the Korean surnames are inherent in the Hua country.

However, the most famous publishing groups and bookstore systems in South Korea are relatively closed groups. If you enter without any reputation, you will inevitably be subject to various restrictions. Acquaintances help.

Therefore, Le Yiling's idea is very correct.

"In addition to the two big markets of Japan and South Korea, I have already contacted Baodao. The shipping fee is also paid by us. The price to Hong Kong is 40% off, and it is contracted by three publishing houses. The first issue is 500,000 volumes. Le Yiling said: "In addition to Nanyang, we only contacted Singapore for the time being. What they want is 100,000 copies, or 40% off the arrival price in Hong Kong.... Calculated in this way, the number of books we will publish in the first issue is scheduled It’s 3.8 million copies, but in fact, 1.8 million copies are sure to be sold, Ah Jun, do you feel the pressure is too great?”

"It should be the printing factory that is under pressure. I'm only worried that they won't be able to meet their needs by working overtime." Yin Jun said confidently.

Le Yiling smiled when she saw it. Although this Ah Jun is humble and low-key, and a bit idiotic, he is full of confidence at all times and has never been knocked down by any difficulty. This is a very good thing.

"Then I should tell them to print 5 million copies first?" Le Yiling said.

It was previously estimated that the normal production capacity of the printing plant in two shifts a day is 10 million copies a week, but it does not mean that it has to print that much at the beginning.

I would rather wait until the market opens in the future, and then continue to print more, and I can't directly print 10 million copies, which is a waste of manpower and material resources.

"Okay, let's do it for the time being." Yin Jun calculated, even if it is necessary to print more, and then open a night shift, if it becomes a third shift, the printing volume of a week is 15 million copies, which is used to catch up with the printing before printing. The gap is enough anyway.

"We have received a telegram, and it is estimated that this time the German machine will be delivered three days in advance... That is to say, it will arrive in Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, and the German staff will also arrive in Xiangjiang by plane on the 17th." Le Yiling said, " Zhou Yuping and the others have figured it out. If the commissioning starts on the 18th, the work can start on the 20th at the latest. In this case, can we sell it together on Saturday, September 1st? It is estimated that at that time, ships to Japan, Taiwan and Singapore , and will definitely arrive in Hong Kong long ago.”

Japan's three major manga weekly magazines, except for "Weekly Shonen Jump" which is released on Monday, the other two are released on Wednesday.

On Saturdays, some monthly comics are also released.

Yin Jun pondered for a while, and there are some advantages and disadvantages for selling on rest days.

But when you think about the quality of your own comics, it doesn't matter when it will be released!

"good!"

Yin Jun nodded, "Let us see how the first battle goes!"
