Chapter 363 Small Comics Can Make Big Money!

That is, on the day Li Chaoren held the press conference, the 7.2 million copies of the fifth issue of "Kirin Weekly" had already been sold all over Asia.

After the continuous increase in the printing of the previous issues, the fourth and fifth issues both maintained the standard of 7.2 million copies and did not increase it.

Although the demand from Vietnam, South Korea and Malaysia can increase by another 600,000 to 1 million copies, Yin Jun has decided to wait and see, so he has not agreed for the time being.

The sale of the fourth issue still maintains a good momentum of being sold out within 4 days.

And the feedback from book fans is also very good, no matter which survey agency you face, the satisfaction rate is above 95%.

In terms of income alone, the most profitable company is not Kirin, but Japan's Tokuma Bookstore.

They basically paid nothing, and got 4 million copies of "Kirin Weekly". Now, in addition to selling 1 million copies themselves, the remaining 3 million copies are distributed to various bookstores, convenience stores, etc.

The 1 million copies of "Kirin Weekly" they sold themselves was a gross profit of 54 million, and the 2 million copies distributed to others was also a gross profit of about 54 million.

A total of one issue of "Kirin Weekly" brought a gross profit of 108 million yen to Tokuma Shoten, and a monthly pre-tax profit of 432 million yen. Although Japan has high labor and strict taxes, it also It can be said to be making a lot of money!

After the news spread, all the manga circles, publishing houses, and bookstores in Japan were extremely envious and jealous of Tokuma Shoten, thinking why didn't I get such a big piece of cake?

Tokuma Yasukai is also very proud of being able to agree to cooperate with Yin Jun so readily. He feels that it is a very correct behavior for him to cooperate with Huaguo friends with the mentality of atonement, and such inadvertent wealth has come.

Being able to do good deeds and make a fortune, who would not want to do such a thing?

The warehouse at the port has been leased by Tokuma Bookstore, and their special personnel will take care of it. They organize their own fleet and deliver goods according to the assigned quota. The price to the store is basically 15% off.

Originally, Tokuma Kangkai wanted them to pick up the goods by themselves, so that the price could be reduced to 20% off, and then they would have less trouble.

But Yin Jun suggested to him to form a small transportation team by himself, and let these orders support his own fleet, so it will be convenient for him to do anything in the future, after all, there will be a booklet later!

Tokuma Yasukai thought about it too. It is indeed more convenient to control a transportation channel by himself and do business in the book business in the future.

That's why he raised the price of 0.5% off, and came to deliver it to the door.

Of course, this door-to-door delivery does not mean that I go to every bookstore and convenience store. For example, in Osaka, other convenience stores have delivery and distribution centers. As long as the books are delivered there, they can deliver them directly.

The same is true for bookstores. As long as there is a chain in a city, they will be sent to the distribution center. Only those independent bookstores that are not chains will be delivered directly to the door.

Even if this is the case, Tokuma Bookstore needs to rebuild a transport fleet of more than 40 vehicles and recruit more than 200 employees. Considering the current scale of Tokuma Bookstore, the staff has also increased by 8%, which is not small The army has expanded.

Speaking of the subsequent booklets, Tokuma Yasukai was in the bookstore business, so he discussed with Yin Jun about the distribution of booklets.

According to Japan's current consumption power and the popularity of "Kirin Weekly", Tokuma's demand is also unexpected.

9 comics, except for "Chibi Maruko" which is published once a month, the remaining 8 comics, "Tomb Raider" and "Transformers" require 200,000 copies, "Inuyasha", "Oolongyuan" and "Laughing Life in the Tropical Rainforest" is 300,000 copies, and "Conan", "Saint Seiya" and "The Prince of Tennis" actually gave a big order of 500,000 copies!

Yin Jun wondered if this would lead to unsalable sales. After all, a booklet of one episode will be released in two months. The price of the booklet is not cheap. If it is impossible to recycle, pay directly on delivery, and if it cannot be sold, it is the loss of the dealer.

But Yasukai Tokuma didn’t take it seriously, “Mr. Yin, we Japanese book fans, as long as they like a manga, let alone a booklet, even if you come with a collector’s edition after the booklet, they will buy it!”

Yin Jun thought so too.

Isn't that what future Japanese anime fans are like?

Not only weekly magazines and booklets, but also all kinds of peripheral products and figurines are all purchased at a high price, which really reflects the spirit of "die-hard fans".

Since even Tokujian Kangkuai has such strong confidence, Yin Jun can't be timid, right?

If the sales of these 9 comics are poor, then I am really sorry for the hundreds of millions of comic fans in the previous life!

Back to Xiangjiang.

In response to the strong demands of countless comic fans for a single volume, Kirin announced that it will publish the first exquisite volume in November, but it has attracted countless complaints.

Everyone thinks that the speed is too slow. It is absolutely possible to publish one book a month. In this way, it is a great joy in the world to be able to read a book in one go and watch it from time to time!

Amid the complaints from comic fans, the exclamation of the financial circles, and the envy and hatred of ordinary people, Yin Jun came to Xiangjiang Commercial Bank.

Sitting in Chen Youhan's office, Yin Jun obviously felt that Chen Youhan looked at him differently, as if he was shining.

"Uncle Han, what are you doing?" Yin Jun asked uncomfortably.

"Hehe, Young Master Jun, your Uncle Han has already been frightened by you." The managing director Kang Xinyuan said, "He didn't expect that he had expected you high enough, but now you are silent It’s really amazing to create a comic company with an output value of up to 1 billion Hong Kong dollars! It’s the first time I’ve seen a company engaged in the cultural industry have such a big money scene! And with the investment of Cheung Kong Industrial, we are the whole process People who have understood your investment process, now that you think about it, you have fully explained what is called Gao Zhanyuan!"

"Kirin Weekly" now ships 7.2 million copies a week, and the average price of each copy is 5 yuan, which is 36 million Hong Kong dollars in sales, and 144 million in one month! !

Although the ex-factory price certainly cannot be the retail price, and the various costs of "Kirin Weekly" also need to be calculated, the net profit of 10-20 million a month is certain, so that the net profit of 100-200 million a year will directly create I became a billionaire!

In 1979, when Xiangjiang’s average monthly salary was 1,100, earning 100 to 200 million a year from a weekly comic magazine sounded like a fantasy.

In fact, the citizens of Xiangjiang also think so, and they always feel that it is not very real.

Besides, after the popularization of science by the relevant personnel, everyone also knows that after the serial version of "Kirin Weekly" is finished, it can be assembled into a volume and then sold as a booklet. This only improves the quality of printing, and it has already been sold. The serialized content of the manga, gathered together, can be sold again, and the price is even more expensive!

Therefore, everyone estimated that Yin Jun's income would at least double, reaching an astonishing figure of three or four million Hong Kong dollars a year!

Therefore, it is completely reasonable and reasonable for Kirin to be valued at 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is even underestimated.

After all, Xiangjiang regards the real estate business as its top priority. If you have such a large cultural industry, it always makes people feel a little unreliable, so you will deliberately lower the valuation.

When ordinary people see these news, they are already numb.

But I heard that all the cartoonists are gearing up, and they all expressed excitedly that they must work harder and strive to earn a lot of money!

Huang Yulang's eyes were even reddened by the stimulation. He heard that he was preparing for some big moves recently, and he wanted to follow Yin Jun's example.

When Chen Youhan got this data, he was also a little dazed.

But he knew better than anyone else that Yin Jun did earn that much money, maybe even more.

Because all the accounts of Qilin Company are handled by Xiangjiang Commercial Bank, Chen Youhan knows the details best.

It is not surprising that Yin Jun wrote a script for 1 million yuan, Chen Youhan.

Including dividends and so on, it is not surprising that Yin Jun can earn five to six million yuan for a TV series.

In a remote land, there are still people rushing to send money to Yin Jun, and it is not surprising that Chen Youhan can earn more than 140 million.

But now Yin Jun actually has a weekly comic magazine worth more than 1 billion. It is not a problem to earn 300 to 500 million a year, but Chen Youhan can't calm down.

In Chen Youhan's mind, cultural industry should be a relatively noble industry. Generally, they don't make much money. If they make money, they still have a slight surplus. Usually, they should rely on the support of the rich to maintain it.

But now in Yin Jun's hands, the comics read by an unpopular child have turned into a huge profiteering business in one go. How can this make sense to him?

In comparison, Yin Jun invested in Li Chaoren a year in advance. With his excellent vision and long-term investment strategy, he followed suit with Hutchison Whampoa's super big cake, which has not yet made Chen Youhan so horrified and inexplicably admired.

It's not just Chen Youhan, his father, Mr. Chen Bicheng, made a special call yesterday, praising him for having the same vision as he did back then.

Chen Youhan has always been praised as stupid at home, but now his father actually called him out of the blue to praise him, saying that he is like him, this is the greatest compliment to Chen Youhan.

I'm not ashamed to tell others that Chen Youhan's eyes were secretly red last night.

After more than ten years of hard work, I finally achieved great success again in the way of the Chen family. It is really not easy!

Originally thought that this investment in Yin Jun would slowly bear fruit after ten or eight years, but now it has only been a year, and it has already borne fruitful fruits, which made Chen Youhan feel that he is living in a dream!
