236, Yunhai Convenience Store begins to show its power
2:00!
In an all-night tea restaurant, there were a dozen middle-aged men sitting.
"Lao Ma, what's going on? It's almost time to get the goods. There's no news from Fantasy Comics yet. Back then, you promised your brothers that Fantasy Comics would definitely increase the sales share!"
One of the men, with a Mediterranean look, was holding a cigarette in his mouth, one leg on the chair, and he was preaching impatiently.
The person he asked was Ma Shixing, the president of the Xiangjiang Distribution Association.
Ma Shixing is in his forties, and the muscles on his body have become loose, but he can vaguely see the fierce temperament of the other party. In his early years, Ma Shixing was also a member of the club, but Ma Shixing is smarter and understands that the road to the club is a road of no return.
So after gaining a certain strength, he resolutely quit the club and used his connections to become a distributor. Although he earned hard money, he didn't have to fight anymore, so Ma Shixing was very
are satisfied with their current life.
Later, the former president of the Xiangjiang Distribution Association wanted to negotiate with the brothers Ma and Ma to increase the sales share of "Oriental Daily", but he was punished by Ma Shixing. Later, it was Ma Shixing who came forward to solve the problem between the two parties.
Since then, Ma Shixing's status in the Distribution Association has grown rapidly, and it didn't take long before he became the president of the Xiangjiang Distribution Association.
Previously, Ma Shixing went to various distributors of the distribution association to discuss increasing the sales share of "Fantasy Comics". At first, he did not get the consent of all distributors, but after Ma Shixing's repeated persuasion, everyone was a little moved.
But he still said that the 40% sales share was too high, and it was impossible for "Fantasy Comics" to agree to it.
Then Ma Shixing said.
Although they want a 40% share, this is also a routine of asking for a high price and paying back the money on the ground.
Driven by profit, these distributors in Xiangjiang finally united.
It's just that the development of things now is obviously very different from what they imagined.
After they proposed this split with "Fantasy Comics", only Li Hongfu, the director of the external relations department of Fantasy Comics, approached them several times, but the two parties have never negotiated a new split.
Now it's almost time for the latest issue of "Fantasy Comics" to be released, but there is actually no movement from "Fantasy Comics".
This situation began to make several distributors on the scene feel uneasy!
What they want is more profits, not losing Fantasy Comics as a customer.
Today, "Fantasy Comics" has officially surpassed Huang Yulang's "Little Rascals" series and has become the comic magazine with the highest single-issue sales in Hong Kong. There are also separate volumes of various comics.
Although it is not as good as those daily newspapers, the sales share is more than that of newspapers, so for them, "Fantasy Comics" has become one of these people's important incomes!
Although Ma Shixing also had doubts in his heart, he calmly said: "What are you worried about? In Xiangjiang, as long as newspapers and magazines are made, we are inseparable. Those newsstand guys don't dare to collect goods without us delivering goods."
Damn it, "Fantasy Comics" is just dying now!"
"Fantasy Comics" is not "Oriental Daily" and has no corporate background. Those newsstand guys rely on distributors to get goods. Even if the people of "Fantasy Comics" go to those newsstand guys themselves, no one is willing to offend these distributors.
, after all, if the distributor is offended, their losses will be even greater.
"No matter what I think, Fantasy Comics has to compromise with us!"
Finally, Ma Shixing looked at everyone: "What? If you don't want to make more money, you can tell us. At worst, we will restore the previous share!"
When everyone heard what Ma Shixing said, they quickly said that since Ma Shixing was so sure, everyone would just wait.
Although "Fantasy Comics" has not yet increased its sales share, in the eyes of all distributors, this is already a certainty, and those increased sales shares will sooner or later be money in their pockets.
Now that the Hong Kong stock market shows no signs of improvement, everyone is tightening their belts. If they can find more, they will naturally not give up this opportunity.
Seeing that everyone's opinions were unified again, Ma Shixing showed a satisfied smile.
"Everyone just follow me, I guarantee that everyone will make a lot of money in the future!"
Because everyone had already unified their opinions, when they heard Ma Shixing say this, they were naturally bragging.
For a moment, the tea restaurant was filled with laughter and laughter.
The time came to 2:30 in the morning, and it was already time for the distributor to pick up the goods.
But there was no call from "Fantasy Comics" yet, which made everyone start to worry again.
Although this is a tea restaurant, it is also the gathering point of the distribution association. More importantly, this tea restaurant is Ma Shixing's business, so many times, calls will come here.
Seeing this, Ma Shixing could only comfort him again: "Don't worry, Fantasy Comics is trying to be patient with us now. As long as we can hold on, Fantasy Comics will compromise sooner or later!"
As he finished speaking, the phone in the tea restaurant rang.
"Boss's phone number!"
the waiter shouted loudly.
"Haha, what did I say, everyone?" Ma Shixing did not answer the phone immediately, but proudly said to everyone: "Did you see, "Fantasy Comics" can't stand it anymore, call here.
Please forgive me!"
Everyone thought so too. When they heard what Ma Shixing said, everyone had a smile on their face.
“I can finally go back and have a peaceful sleep!”
Mediterranean stood up, stretched, and spoke proudly.
Ma Shixing laughed and said: "When you are happy like this, shouldn't you go to Bolan Street and find a girl to have sex with?"
Everyone immediately showed understanding smiles.
Then Ma Shixing walked to the counter and answered the phone. As a result, the distributors who were about to leave saw expressions of shock and anger on Ma Shixing's face.
Seeing Ma Shixing like this, everyone who was about to leave immediately stopped in their tracks and showed questioning expressions.
Mediterranean even said immediately: "Lao Ma, what's going on?"
...
Huang Yulang hasn't slept yet. Today is the day when the latest issue of "Fantasy Comics" will be sold. He needs to know the situation at the distributor as soon as possible.
Did Chu Huan give in? Or did he choose hard steel?
Huang Yulang hoped that Chu Huan would fight to the end. Because of the emergence of "Fantasy Comics", Xiangjiang comic fans have begun to like "Fantasy Comics" with various styles and exciting stories, and the "Little Rascals" series of comics have naturally been impacted.
.
Especially in the last few issues, the sales of the "Little Rascals" series have been deteriorating, giving Huang Yulang a huge headache.
Huang Yulang, wearing pajamas, sat in his study room, flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and glanced at the clock on the table.
"It's already half past two, and Ma Shixing hasn't called yet. It seems that Chu Huan is determined to fight hard with the distribution association this time. He is really young!"
At this time, Huang Yulang showed a proud look on his face.
If Ma Shixing has not received a call from "Fantasy Comics" by now, it means that this issue of "Fantasy Comics" does not have time to be distributed to various newsstands.
There is a vacuum period in "Fantasy Comics", and this result is the best result for Huang Yulang.
"Humph, if you hadn't been born with a good pregnancy, you would still be able to show off your power in front of me!"
At this time, the proud Huang Yulang thought of Chen Qizong, who was furious today.
In his heart, Chen Qizong despised wild people like Huang Yulang. In fact, Huang Yulang also despised people like Chen Qizong.
In Huang Yulang's view, people like Chen Qizong swam faster than himself when they were reincarnated, and they were the first to cast a good fetus.
If both sides had the same starting line, Chen Qizong would definitely not be more outstanding than himself.
This matter is a good proof.
Everyone was in the same camp, and they all attacked Chu Huan at the same time. As a result, Chu Huan's side just used a little trick to smash Chen Qizong's plan to pieces, but what about his side?
Without even having to show up personally, Chu Huan had already tasted the bitter fruit of failure!
Why is the gap between people so big!
The leisurely Huang Yulang was about to get up and go back to his room to rest.
At this moment, the phone on his desk rang.
"It seems that Ma Shixing has sent me good news!"
The proud Huang Yulang answered the call, and then heard Ma Shixing's roar coming from the other side of the phone.
"Huang Yulang, you street boy, didn't you tell me that as long as we cut off the sales of "Fantasy Comics", he would definitely give in to us? Please explain this situation to me carefully!"
Faced with Ma Shixing's sudden roar, Huang Yulang was a little confused for a moment, but Huang Yulang, who had always been proud and arrogant, how could he let Ma Shixing shout like this.
"Ma Shixing, please clean your mouth for me. What happened?"
"What happened?" Ma Shixing said angrily with a smile: "Let me tell you what happened. Just now my people called me, and a truck has already picked up "Fantasy Comics" from the printing factory.
"All of the comics were sold in Yunhai convenience stores. Tell me what is going on?"
Huang Yulang couldn't help but stood up directly, "What's going on? Tell me clearly. Why is Yunhai Convenience Store involved?"
"Come here and see for yourself!"
Angry Ma Shixing hung up the phone directly.
At this time, Huang Yulang could no longer care about his angry attitude towards Ma Shixing. He immediately picked up his car keys and drove to Ma Shixing's tea restaurant without even having time to change his clothes.
When he walked into the tea restaurant, he saw that everyone from the Distribution Association was here. At this time, everyone looked at him, as if they wanted to eat him!
Huang Yulang didn't care about this, and just asked Ma Shixing: "What is going on? Why does Yunhai convenience store sell "Fantasy Comics"!"
Ma Shixing said with a cold face: "How do I know what's going on? Now shouldn't you give us a good explanation?"
Previously, in order to know the situation of "Fantasy Comics" as soon as possible, Ma Shixing sent people to keep an eye on the printing factory that "Fantasy Comics" cooperated with.
As a result, just now, they saw minivans driving to the printing plant one after another, taking away the latest issue of "Fantasy Comics".
Upon seeing this, Ma Shixing's people immediately followed, and soon discovered that these trucks were actually delivering "Fantasy Comics" to Yunhai convenience store, which has been extremely popular in Hong Kong recently.
Unkai Convenience Store also very considerately placed "Fantasy Comics" in the most conspicuous position of their checkout counter. Not only that, there is also a large promotional poster of "Fantasy Comics" at the entrance of Unkai Convenience Store.
After hearing Ma Shixing's description, Huang Yulang slumped down on the chair and murmured with a pale face: "When did "Fantasy Comics" form a cooperation with Yunhai Convenience Store?"
"I want to know too!" Ma Shixing asked angrily.
Huang Yulang immediately stood up and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Even if Yunhai convenience store sells "Fantasy Comics", those comic fans don't know that this will definitely have an impact on the sales of "Fantasy Comics". This
This must be Chu Huan's way of forcing you to submit. As long as you can hold on, Chu Huan will definitely give in to you later!"
"Hold on?" Mediterranean said angrily: "How can you hold on? Do you know how much we will lose if we buy one less issue of "Fantasy Comics"? Chu Huan is rich and doesn't care about this little money. We all have to support him."
As a family, what if readers develop buying habits in the future? Will you bear the loss then? "
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Huang Yulang glanced at the Mediterranean angrily, but when he saw other distributors also looking indignant, he did not dare to say anything.
These people are in a hurry, they are really taking action!
"Don't worry, although Yunhai Convenience Store now has dozens of branches in Xiangjiang, compared to the hundreds of newsstands, it is definitely not enough. You all believe me, Chu Huan will definitely compromise with everyone in the end.
of!"
After hearing what Huang Yulang said, the expressions of Ma Shixing and others softened a bit, but Ma Shixing still preached.
"Huang Yulang, we are all willing to believe what you said, but you instigated everyone to do this thing together. Now you are hiding behind and making a lot of money, but what about us brothers? We don't agree with you.
Same, they all have hard work and have families to support, so you can't let us pay for you because of the grudge between you and Chu Huan, right?"
Huang Yulang's face changed slightly, and he asked Ma Shixing in a deep voice: "Ma Shixing, what do you mean?"
Ma Shixing sneered and said: "Simple, your boss Huang is a big boss and has a lot of wealth. As long as you take out some from between your fingers, you can make up for the losses of us brothers!"
"Impossible!" Huang Yulang said subconsciously. Now these distributors actually want to make up for their losses: "Ma Shixing, don't forget, if this thing is successful, you people will make a lot of money!"
Ma Shixing didn't care about Huang Yulang's attitude at all: "The key to the problem now is that our brothers asked "Fantasy Comics" to increase their share because of you Huang Yulang. Why is there a problem now and you want to stay out of it?"
"That's right!" Mediterranean is obviously the person with the most say in the entire distribution association besides Ma Shixing. "Huang Yulang, if you can't make up for the losses of our brothers, the worst is that the rest of us will bow our heads to Chu Huan.
It must still be the same as before, but you are different. The sales volume of the "Little Rascals" series is not as good as each issue!"
As one of the most influential distributors in Xiangjiang, Mediterranean is naturally aware of the sales situation of "Little Rascals".
Hearing what Mediterranean said, Huang Yulang was shaking with anger, but he still held back the anger in his heart and dragged Ma Shixing directly to the corner.
"Ma Shixing, you know that I, Huang Yulang, am not doing this alone. Aren't you worried about the people behind me?"
At this time, Ma Shixing no longer had the anger just now, but said helplessly: "Huang Yulang, you have also seen the current situation. If you don't give an explanation to us people, the matter will definitely not be justified!"
Speaking of this, Ma Shixing said a little bachelorly: "Yes, those people behind you are indeed great people who know the world, but we can't let people like us have nothing to eat. If we don't have food to eat, don't say that the other party is a person who knows the world."
They are the big people who have descended from the sky, and they are the big people who have come down from the sky, but it’s useless!”
Huang Yulang had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "Okay, I will pay for your losses this time!"
Ma Shixing immediately asked: "When will it be given?"
Then he may feel that what he did may have hurt Huang Yulang's heart a little, but since the other party is now willing to compensate, he should also provide corresponding services.
"Boss Huang, don't blame brothers for reality. Why don't brothers be as wealthy as you, Boss Huang?"
Huang Yulang didn't care about Ma Shixing's attitude and said coldly: "I will have someone send you a check this morning!"
"Yes, Boss Huang is indeed very generous!"
After finishing speaking, Ma Shixing returned to Mediterranean and others, and then told the others what Huang Yulang said with a smile.
When Mediterranean and others heard that Huang Yulang was willing to use money to compensate for their losses, they naturally became less angry.
The atmosphere between the two parties eased after Huang Yulang lost money and avoided disaster.
"By the way, who of you knows the situation of Yunhai Convenience Store? How did the other party form a cooperation with Chu Huan?"
The dispute temporarily subsided, and Huang Yulang began to ask about the situation of Yunhai Convenience Store. After all, in this incident, Yunhai Convenience Store became the key. If there was no Yunhai Convenience Store, "Fantasy Comics" would definitely give in!
Ma Shixing and others looked at each other, shook their heads and said: "I don't know very well. This convenience store seems to have appeared out of thin air. I don't know who the boss behind it is. He is so rich and opened it all of a sudden in Xiangjiang."
So many branches!”
"Not only that, the property I live in recently has a Yunhai convenience store that is being renovated nearby. It's obvious that the store is continuing to expand!"
Huang Yulang's head was filled with questions. Naturally, he had seen Yunhai Convenience Store before, and even made some purchases there. At that time, he was somewhat appreciative of the store's business model, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, the other party slapped him hard in the face.
.
"I wonder who the boss behind the scenes is?"
After pondering for a moment, Huang Yulang suddenly laughed and said: "The behavior of Yunhai Convenience Store has obviously broken the rules of your industry, are you just watching each other do this?
If, as everyone said, Yunhai Convenience Store continues to open branches, then there will only be more and more branches in the future. If Chu Huan uses Yunhai Convenience Store to suppress everyone this time, then other newspapers and magazines will have them in the future.
If we follow each other’s example, I’m afraid your losses will be even greater by then, right?”
Although everyone knows that Huang Yulang is sowing discord, every distributor also understands that what Huang Yulang said is the truth. The reason why they are so awesome now is because they control the sales channels of newspapers and magazines throughout Hong Kong.
Now, suddenly there is a Yunhai convenience store, bypassing them and contacting the magazine alone. If this kind of thing becomes the norm, people like them will naturally have less to rely on.
As mentioned before, even if these distributors in Xiangjiang are not members of the society, they still have their own gangs, which are individual companies close to the interests of the society.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now that someone is coming out to compete with them for jobs, it is naturally impossible for these people to let this matter go.
Under Huang Yulang's deliberate reminder, these people immediately made a plan.
Ma Shixing said directly: "Yes, what Boss Huang said makes sense. What we should do immediately now is to find someone to find out who the boss of Yunhai Chain is? Let's see who is so bold to rob our brothers.
Business!"
Everyone had no objections to Ma Shixing's proposal. They were businessmen first, and then they were groups with corporate interests.
Businessmen pay attention to harmony to make money, so Ma Shixing's idea is to first find out who is the boss behind Yunhai Chain, and then be polite before attacking. If the other party gives up "Fantasy Comics", then everything will be easy to talk about.
But if the other party wants to seize food from the tiger's mouth, then I'm sorry, they must take action!
"That's right, let's do this now!"
The Mediterranean also immediately supported Ma Shixing's decision.
Looking at the indignant people, Huang Yulang breathed a sigh of relief!
...
morning!
Xiao Yun (the previous name was a bit illegal...) was the person who went to Yunhai convenience store in the middle of the night to buy tools for handling cases. As usual, he came to the newsstand in front of his residence and wanted to buy the latest "Fantasy Comics".
In fact, Xiao Yun was not a comic fan at the beginning. He only learned about "Fantasy Comics" during the scolding battle between Chu Huan and Huang Yulang.
I bought a copy out of curiosity, and was immediately attracted by the bold and novel comics in it, and then became a loyal reader of "Fantasy Comics".
I will buy and read every issue.
Especially recently, "Fantasy Comics" has released three comics "Transformers", "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" one after another. Although the stories are closer to Western stories, it doesn't matter. Except for the robots in "Transformers",
The protagonist of every comic is an oriental image.
The two heroines in "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" are simply sexier than the other, which fits Xiao Yun's aesthetic perfectly.
Now Xiao Yun is like a reader who keeps up with updates. He will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't read an issue.
"Boss, a copy of "Fantasy Comics"!"
Xiao Yun came to the newsstand wearing flip-flops, big pants, and a T-shirt!
"No more!" the boss said without raising his head.
Xiao Yun was stunned and immediately asked: "It's all sold out so quickly?"
The boss said impatiently: "It's not that it's sold out, it's that it's not available. This issue is gone!"
Xiao Yun, who still didn't understand, heard the boss's muttering: "Well, those people in the distribution association are all shit eaters. They are fighting against "Fantasy Comics" and delaying me from making money."
Xiao Yun was puzzled and asked curiously.
Then I learned about the conflict between "Fantasy Comics" and the Distribution Association from the boss!
When Xiao Yun heard this, he immediately followed the newsstand owner and scolded the people in the distribution association.
But despite the scolding, Xiao Yun himself had no choice. As for the newsstand owner, it was naturally impossible for him to tell Xiao Yun about the sale of "Fantasy Comics" in Yunhai convenience stores.
Xiao Yun had no choice but to buy two newspapers, one was "Oriental Daily" which mainly focused on gossip, and the other was "Zhenbao" which had recently reported a lot of news about Chu Huan.
He has also been paying attention to Chu Huan's affairs recently, but he still has great doubts about the news in the newspaper about Chu Huan taking advantage of the stock market crash.
It is true that Chu Huan now has a lot of money, but Xiao Yun is still a little doubtful that Chu Huan can successfully predict the stock market crash.
In addition, Xiao Yun is actually not that concerned about this matter now. What he wants to know more is how the lawsuit between Chu Huan and the three major newspapers is going.
Holding the newspaper, but missing "Fantasy Comics", Xiao Yun always felt empty in his heart. Listless Xiao Yun lowered his head and looked at the newspaper in his hand and walked directly into the Yunhai convenience store without seeing the Yunhai convenience store.
An advertisement for "Fantasy Comics" at the door,
At this time, he just wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes and go home to catch up on his sleep.
But when he just walked into Yunhai convenience store, he saw that there were a lot more people here than before. This made Xiao Yun a little confused. When he got to the queue, Xiao Yun was about to get a box of cigarettes for himself, but he...
I saw "Fantasy Comics" on the counter.
"Do you sell Fantasy Comics here?"
Xiao Yun asked excitedly.
"Yes sir, this is the latest issue of Fantasy Comics. Do you want a copy?"
The waiter at Yunhai convenience store asked with a professional smile.
"It's necessary!" Xiao Yun immediately said happily, and instantly felt that his energy had returned.
The waiter smiled and brought Xiao Yun a copy of "Fantasy Comics".
After paying and leaving, Xiao Yun couldn't wait to open the comic and read the latest issue. Halfway through, he was about to light a cigarette for himself, but found that he had forgotten to buy it.
Cursing secretly, Xiao Yun could only go back in line and buy another pack of cigarettes.
When he got home, he turned on the TV and saw an advertisement for the wireless station, which was from Unkai Convenience Store, indicating that "Fantasy Comics" could now be purchased from them.
"Hey, I've already bought it!" Xiao Yun said proudly, then lay on the sofa and continued reading comics.
Half an hour later, he finally finished reading, and then he started to read the newspaper in a good mood, and the one he opened was "True Daily".
After a while, I saw advertisements for Unkai Convenience Store and "Fantasy Comics" on it. They also told readers that they could buy the latest issue of "Fantasy Comics" at Unkai Convenience Store!
