Wan Chai Police Station, Inspector's Office.
"This lousy magazine is selling for five yuan. Su Tianyao is crazy for money!”
Yan Tong threw a magazine on the desk and sneered.
"Yes, yes, Su Tianyao will definitely lose everything this time!”Skinny Ghost agreed, but his eyes never left the magazine on the table.
This magazine was called New Era. Yan Tong had asked Skinny Ghost to buy it back early in the morning.
However, Yan Tong didn't want to support Su Tianyao's career. He just wanted to know if the latter would fall in this magazine.
After knowing that the magazine was selling for five yuan per copy, Yan Tong felt that the magazine would definitely not sell anymore.
"If this magazine can sell a thousand copies, Su Tianyao can go and kill a chicken to pay his respects!" Yan Tong said sarcastically.”
"That's right, Master Yan is right. I'm annoyed by this magazine. Why don't I take it out and throw it away?”Skinny Ghost Qiang looked at the magazine eagerly.
He had bought it with money and wanted to take it back to admire it slowly. However, he could not show it in front of Yan Tong. He could only say that.
"Don't throw it away. I still want to keep this lousy magazine to laugh at Su Tianyao!”
Yan Tong felt that his chance had finally come. He picked up the magazine again and said,"Let's go to Shau Jiwan and see how ugly Su Tianyao's expression is!”
……
Meanwhile, Lei Luo, Wu Shihao, and Lardy were all at the Shau Kei Wan Police Station with New Era in their hands.
"Ah Yao is really talented. He really knows how to play. I watched it again and again!”
"I'm the same. I'm about to be torn apart. This half-exposed and half-hidden feeling is the most heart-wrenching. I've been pulling the flag for a whole day, and I've never felt so excited when a woman stood in front of me!”
"This is the magazine that understands men the most. It's not cliché either. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a work of art!”
Wu Shihao and the others were all praising " New Era ".
Then, Lard said worriedly,""However, five yuan per book is a little expensive. We don't care, but other people might not be able to afford it. Do you think we should lower the price so that it will sell better?”
The retail price of " New Era " was five yuan per copy, which was almost half a day's salary for an ordinary person.
With the current income level, the current retail price was indeed quite high.
Su Tianyao shook his head and said," It's not high anymore. If we lower the price, the quality of 'New Era' will be lowered. Moreover, we won't be able to maintain this quality. It will affect the positioning of the magazine!”
"Yao, I'll ask my brothers to buy one each!”Wu Shihao looked at Su Tianyao and said again.
This was not the first time he had suggested this, but Su Tianyao had already rejected it before. He wanted to see the actual sales of " New Era."
This time, Su Tianyao shook his head again and said,""No need, it's meaningless. If 'New Era' can't sell well, we should think of a way to increase its appeal. Other methods can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause!”
" Yao has a point. I think Hua's magazine is very attractive. The sales should be good. Let's take a look first," Lei Luo said.
At this moment, Yan Tong and Skinny Ghost Qiang walked over with smiles on their faces. It was obvious that there was nothing to take care of.
Yan Tong pretended to be kind and said," Detective Su, I've read your magazine, but I think it's hard to sell. Do you need me to mobilize all my men to help you promote it?"”
"By the way, how many copies of your magazine have you printed? A thousand or two thousand?”
"Master Yan, Inspector Su is arrogant. How can he afford to sell one or two thousand copies? I heard that he printed 50,000 copies in one go!”
"Fifty thousand books? How long are we going to sell them for? Even if we mobilize all our brothers in the police station, we can only sell one or two thousand copies at most. We can't force all our men to buy them, right? We have so many magazines left. Are we going to sell them to the junkyard?”
Yan Tong and Skinny Ghost Qiang seemed to be talking as if they were two people, each saying one sentence. It was needless to say how tacit they were.
In the end, Yan Tong looked at Su Tianyao and smiled.""Inspector Su, I know a junkman. Do you want me to introduce him to you? I guarantee that his recycling price is the highest in Hong Kong, so you can more or less recover some of your costs!”
"Thank you for your concern, Inspector Yan, but I think the magazine can still be sold!”
"Inspector Su, we're all on the same side, so let's be frank. If you can sell 50,000 copies, I'll buy 20,000 copies privately as a form of support. But how can you do that? You don't have to be polite with me, and you don't have to be so stubborn. If you want me to introduce you to the trash guy, just say it. I heard that you spent more than a few million on this magazine.”
Yan Tong was extremely pleased with himself. It was not easy for him to seize such a good opportunity. How could he miss it? Naturally, he would try his best to belittle Su Tianyao. This made him feel very relieved. It had been a long time since he felt so comfortable.
"Brother Yao, I finally found you. I was so worried!”
Just as Yan Tong was feeling smug, Fang Weiyuan, the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, ran over anxiously.
"Why are you looking for me so urgently?”Su Tianyao asked.
"Crazy, they're all selling like crazy!"
After Fang Weiyuan panted, he continued,""All the newsstands and bookstores in each district are sold out. They are all asking us to add more stock. There are also many people who went to the printing plant to buy directly. The 50,000 magazines we printed have all been sold out.”
Hearing the word 'reprint,' the smug Yan Tong's smile froze.
"Then print it!"
Su Tianyao thought for a moment and said,"Let's hurry up and print another 50,000 copies first. We'll see how the sales increase later!"”
Fang Weiyuan received the instructions and immediately ran to inform the printing factory.
Time Magazine was really up now. In less than a morning, 50,000 copies had been sold out. With the current trend, it was very likely that they would sell another 50,000 copies today. That would add up to 100,000 copies.
Moreover, New Era's retail price was five yuan, which was several times more than other magazines. A sales volume of 100,000 copies was equivalent to the sales volume of 500,000 to 1 million copies of other magazines. The former was even more valuable.
Thinking of this result, Fang Weiyuan was extremely excited. He was full of energy and did not feel tired running around.
Su Tianyao looked at Yan Tong and said mockingly,"Detective Yan, I heard that you want to buy 20,000 copies. I wonder if you want to send them to Wan Chai or your home!”
Yan Tong's expression had already become extremely ugly. He was very embarrassed. There was a huge difference between his face and the one he had when he came.
20,000 copies of New Era would be 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
100,000 Hong Kong dollars was neither too much nor too little for Yan Tong, but it still hurt.
Money was still a busybody. Losing face was the most uncomfortable thing.
Yan Tong came to mock Su Tianyao in a hurry, but the latter slapped him in the face with 50,000 magazines.
When he thought of what he had said, he was like a clown, making him feel extremely embarrassed.
"Detective Yan is really a good person. He thought of a way to give money to Ah Yao!”Wu Shihao also teased. He was happy for Su Tianyao. Seeing Yan Tong embarrassed, he was even happier.
The sales of " New Era " had exceeded everyone's expectations. However, watching Yan Tong get slapped in the face was the most enjoyable show.。
