Chapter 175: Hot in America
Chapter 175: Hot in America
United States.
After returning to the United States, Smith set about establishing the War Eagle Comics Studio with great enthusiasm.
Smith was looking forward to the arrival of "Legend of the Great Demon" and was waiting anxiously, as if time had become exceptionally long.
Finally, when this comic book from Qingdao Publishing House arrived in the United States, Smith quickly began to distribute it with the channels he had carefully developed.
Qingdao Publishing House priced the comic at $2.5, while Smith sold it for $5.
Although the price is much lower than other comics, Smith firmly believes that the unique charm of this comic will attract many readers regardless of the price or content.
The fact turned out to be just as he expected. Once released, "Legend of the Great Demon" attracted widespread attention and sales were extremely hot.
After all, among many comics, comic strips with villains as the protagonists are rare, and this unique subject matter undoubtedly adds huge appeal to it.
Kevin is a senior fan of American comics, and has a deep understanding and unique taste for all kinds of comic works.
When he accidentally saw the comic book "Legend of the Great Demon" in a bookstore, he was instantly attracted by the unruly and domineering Monkey King on the cover.
The majestic image seemed to have an irresistible magic that made Kevin stop involuntarily.
When he picked up the comic and began to read it, he was captivated by the wonderful story.
In the comics, the scenes where the Monkey King fights gods along the way are full of blood and passion, which is really cool.
Kevin bought the comic book without hesitation and took it home, ready to savor it carefully.
When he read it in depth, he was shocked by the unique painting style.
The Monkey King’s fighting posture is domineering and full of power. Every movement and every expression seems to jump off the paper, making people feel as if they are there.
Especially when he saw that the skills and weapons of the characters in the comics were carefully drawn and described in detail, Kevin jumped up with excitement.
He said with emotion that this strong sense of immersion made the characters' skills concrete and raised the perception of the comic strip to a higher level.
When Kevin saw the Monkey King fully equipped and standing in mid-air, he was extremely excited by the incomparable aura emanating from him.
After reading it once, Kevin felt a sense of loss, as if he had just experienced a wonderful adventure but had to face its end.
So he couldn't wait to read it again. After that, Kevin recommended this comic to his friends without hesitation, hoping that they would also be shocked by it.
In this way, with his excellent painting style, unique subject matter, and concrete equipment and skills, the Monkey King became completely popular in the United States.
However, it is regrettable that there is only one copy of "Legend of the Great Demon" at present, and there are only 20 copies in total.
Thanks to the enthusiastic pursuit of many readers, the comics were quickly sold out, which made many readers who learned about it later regretful and they could only urge War Eagle Comics to be printed as soon as possible.
This situation is happening in several countries where Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back in Heaven was released.
Qingdao, China
Within two months, Jiang Weimin's team was formed, with a total of five people, all of whom had a good foundation in painting.
During these two months, they helped Jiang Weimin deal with many basic matters.
During these two months, Jiang Weimin's work progressed very smoothly.
Completed the painting of "Havoc in Heaven" again, and
Completed a book titled "Father's War of Resistance - The Battle of Mengyin".
In fact, I started drawing the second volume of "Havoc in Heaven" before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it was finally finished recently.
Now, there are only the last two volumes of "Father's War of Resistance" to be completed. Jiang Weimin is thinking whether he should finish the last two volumes first.
However, he never expected that Qingdao Publishing House would receive orders for additional prints from the United States, Britain and Japan, as well as telegrams urging the next volume to be released as soon as possible.
Jiang Weimin really did not expect that the United States would directly place an order for 30 copies, the United Kingdom for 10 copies, and Japan for 10 copies, totaling 50 copies.
Song Wenqing was also shocked by such a large order, which was a foreign exchange order totaling 125 million US dollars.
Song Wenqing could earn more than 200 million US dollars from one comic book.
If it is really as Jiang Weimin said, one copy per month, that would mean orders worth nearly 3000 million US dollars a year.
But now this color printing equipment can meet the existing orders, but this is when Jiang Weimin’s second volume of "The Monkey King" has not been printed.
This is the case when it has not yet been released domestically. Although the domestic selling price is 1 yuan, Song Wenqing estimates that it will sell 100 million copies.
If this is counted as 100 million copies sold overseas, even with the current production capacity of the publishing house, it would not be enough!
Song Wenqing secretly sighed in his heart that he still had to buy the equipment and expand the printing factory!
Afterwards, Song Wenqing convened a meeting to discuss the expansion of the publishing house.
The meeting was mainly to discuss issues such as ensuring the smooth delivery of foreign exchange orders and the expansion of the publishing house.
After saying this, Song Wenqing looked at Jiang Weimin. Song Wenqing also knew that Jiang Weimin had many ideas.
"President Jiang, now that we have received so many orders, do you have any suggestions on equipment procurement?" Song Wenqing looked at Jiang Weimin expectantly.
Jiang Weimin thought for a while and said, "President, since we can obtain so much foreign exchange, I suggest that we communicate with our superiors and ask them to reserve some foreign exchange for us so that we can purchase advanced equipment from abroad."
"Xiao Jiang, isn't it too extravagant to use foreign currency to purchase equipment from abroad?"
"President, since we have earned such a large foreign exchange order for the country, we must give priority to upgrading our equipment to ensure that the order can be delivered quickly, and at the same time print the next work."
Feng Nan also said at this time, "We may have orders of 200 million US dollars a month now, and it is indeed a priority to replace us with a batch of stable and efficient equipment!"
"Yes, foreign advanced equipment definitely has great advantages in efficiency and printing quality. And I have another idea." Jiang Weimin's eyes flashed with excitement.
"what idea?"
"It's just copying their equipment. We have money now, so we can find a company with outstanding equipment manufacturing capabilities, let them learn during the installation process, and then let them copy and
After the imitation is successful, we can buy printing equipment at home and abroad." Jiang Weimin elaborated on his idea in detail.
"Xiao Jiang, you're still smart! I'll take the order to negotiate with the leaders this afternoon!" Song Wenqing looked at Jiang Weimin with admiration.
Now that publishing houses are getting bigger and bigger, they do need more modern equipment, mainly because publishing houses are not short of money.
