Chapter 187 It's Just the Beginning

On the same day, Wu Tao lingered at home for half a day, always thinking about the issue of the magazine, so he went back to the city early.

When I arrived at the east gate of the school, I decisively bought a copy of Baokumanke at the newsstand, and chatted with the boss for a while.

"Boss, is this magazine easy to sell?"

The boss shook his head, "I think it's a bit embarrassing! A new magazine, it's so easy to start..."

Wu Tao was speechless, and silently took the magazine to the Chuan Chuan Xiang branch.

Occupying the corner of the glass window, I opened the magazine, and looked through it from the perspective of a reader, as if no one else was there.

Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised voice came, "Hey, Wu Tao, do you also like comics?"

Looking up, it was Li Jing from Class 14. I didn't expect that the first meeting after school would be here, and she was also holding a magazine in her hand. When she took a closer look, it was Baokumanke.

"You like it too?"

Li Jing said like a few treasures: "I am a loyal reader of the picture book king, and I have collected them all. Today, I heard from the newsstand owner that this is a new magazine run by the original picture book king's editor, so I bought it. "

"Then let's watch it together!" Wu Tao said happily.

"Don't bother you?"

Seeing Wu Tao shaking his head, Li Jing sat down, put down her backpack, and opened the magazine, but she was always a little absent-minded, and looked at Wu Tao from time to time.

However, Wu Tao was so engrossed that he didn't care about her little eyes at all.

Unknowingly, Li Jing also looked in, the small expression on her pretty face changed with the plot of the comic.

Until the people around came and went, until the sky slowly dimmed.

Wu Tao then closed the manga and patted the table in front of Li Jing.

Li Jing came back to her senses, looked away from the magazine, and looked suspicious.

Wu Tao pointed to his watch, "It's almost time for evening self-study."

Li Jing yelled, "Oops, I forgot to eat Mala Tang! I'm going to be hungry after studying late..."

Seeing Li Jing's annoyed face, Wu Tao couldn't help laughing and said, "You can forget to eat, which means you are still not hungry!"

"Who said that?" Li Jing tugged at her mouth, "The manga stories are so exciting that people can't stop!" Then she touched her empty belly and comforted herself: "It's okay, I'll go back to the classroom and continue reading later, look at it." You won't be hungry just watching it!"

That's okay too?

Back in the classroom, the classroom was surprisingly quiet.

In the past, before self-study on Sunday night, it was the most noisy time, and the local tyrant circle headed by Wu Di could blow the roof down with their high-spirited talk.

But not today. Could it be that Wu Di didn't come?

Wu Tao looked around and saw that Wu Di was sitting obediently at his desk, flipping through something in his hand, incomparably absorbed and serious.

Hey, the sun is really coming out from the west! The local tyrants also fell in love with learning.

Returning to his seat, Wu Tao threw the magazine in front of Zhao Li, and Yang Zili immediately turned around and said, "Hey, you actually bought it too?"

As he spoke, he showed the book in his hand with a proud expression on his face.

"Is anyone still buying it in our class?" Wu Tao asked casually. He was curious how many students liked the new magazine, and then made a rough judgment on its market feedback.

"As far as I know, there are Wu Dies!" Yang Zili vowed.

"how do you know?"

Sun Xiaoyu exposed it in one sentence: "Isn't it because someone snatched comics from Wu Di just now, and he scolded him bloody. So everyone knows..."

Wu Tao shook his head and smiled. He thought Wu Di, a local tyrant, would turn his back on him because he knew he had studied. It turned out that he was so enthusiastic about reading comics!

When the bell rang for the evening self-study class, Lu Wei did not show up.

So the students in the class continued to herd the sheep, but surprisingly there was no sign of noise and hustle and bustle. It seemed silent and self-conscious.

In the front row, Yang Zili was reading comics with a lens of thousands of degrees, and he was very enthusiastic.

Not long after, Sun Xiaoyu's eyes were also attracted, and he couldn't move away.

Zhao Li flipped through her first printed work, her chest heaving with excitement, and asked repeatedly: "You must have read it, how is my work, how is it?"

Wu Tao shook his head, pointed at Yang Zili's back and said, "I'm not sure, it depends on what they say and what the market says."

However, Zhao Li dragged Yang Zili for a long time, and Yang Zili was still immersed in comic magazines, unable to extricate himself, and ignored her.

When get out of class was over, Sun Xiaoyu stood up awkwardly, "This manga is very interesting, I'm going to buy a copy and read it!"

Seeing it with others is, after all, constrained by others. If you read slowly, people will turn the page without waiting for you;

When the class bell rang again, Sun Xiaoyu arrived late with empty hands.

Zhao Liqi said: "You didn't buy it?"

Sun Xiaoyu said out of breath, "What, it's sold out! I ran to several newsstands, but they were out of stock."

Wu Tao was also surprised and said: "No way, I see that there are quite a lot of stocks in the afternoon!"

"It's afternoon after all, and it's sold out now." Sun Xiaoyu said disappointedly, "But I want to see it right now... ah..."

Immediately, he turned his eyes, pressed his palm on Wu Tao's book and said, "Please show me this book, please..."

Zhao Li glanced at Wu Tao and saw that he had no objection, so she let go and let Sun Xiaoyu take the magazine away.

After the second class, Wu Tao walked away and called the comic club.

Wang Yongsheng answered the phone himself.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wu Tao said mercilessly, "Old Wang, your magazine distribution is not very good! Is there too little distribution? I have sold out all of them here."

Wang Yongsheng was full of joy, and said with a stance: "Oh, you taught me a lesson. We printed 60,000 copies in the first issue, which is too conservative. No, I have ordered them to print 40,000 more copies!"

"How much...how much?" Wu Tao couldn't believe his ears.

"The 60,000 volumes were sold out at six o'clock in the afternoon, and there were calls from all over the country to rush the shipment. No, we are preparing for this, and the goods will arrive tomorrow morning at the earliest."

This is far more popular than expected!

Wu Tao thought about it for a while, and said decisively: "Old Wang, I think it is conservative to print 40,000 more copies. I suggest you print another 50,000 copies and release 90,000 copies tomorrow. Try how big it is!"

"Forget it, listen to you!"

By noon on Monday, in Beijiang Middle School, there were five or six Brutal Manga books being circulated in every classroom.

Wu Tao found the office and happened to see Qiu Xiaotian watching with relish.

"Teacher Qiu, do you know how much this new magazine has sold?"

"How many?"

"As of last night, there are 60,000 volumes in six provinces and one city in East China, and the supply exceeds demand!"

Chou Xiaotian was dumbfounded, and said in disbelief: "This is already considered a medium-sized publication. My apprentice can publish works in such a magazine, and the future is boundless!"

Wu Tao shook his head and said, "Teacher Qiu, before the dust settles, maybe we can't say that..."

After all, it's just the beginning.

Third update.
