Chapter 503 【Comic Controversy 1】

   "The time is right, we will build our own distribution center, then we can reduce a lot of costs!" Wu Guangyao said.

  Metro convenience store has no warehouse because of its small size;

  So how to quickly replenish goods?

  Wu Guangyao has planned a two-stage delivery model for Metro convenience stores:

  The first stage: Intensive distribution, cultivating one's own wholesalers; a fixed wholesaler is responsible for several sales activity areas and manages products from different manufacturers. In other words, by signing agreements with wholesalers and suppliers, it is no longer that multiple wholesalers deliver to each store separately, but a specific wholesaler in a certain area unified management of similar suppliers in the area, and then Uniform distribution of goods to Metro convenience stores.

  In the second stage, self-built distribution center, which replaces specific wholesalers, receives and distributes uniformly in different regions.

  Although the Metro convenience store is still in the first stage, other convenience stores are far from even the first stage of the Metro Group;

  Other convenience stores are supplied by many wholesalers. Generally, a wholesaler only supplies goods of one brand.

  Metro convenience stores in Europe and the United States are already in the second stage in many areas;

  Because of this, the Metro convenience store brand has become the world's dominant convenience store.

  This meeting has been going on for a long time, and Wu Guangyao, who was still very interested, went on to discuss with everyone in the afternoon, and finally formed a complete plan.

  Wu Guangyao is confident that as long as the implementation continues, Japan’s 7-11, Family Mart and other convenience stores will surrender to Metro;

  Don’t think that Wu Guangyao is just talking on paper, but these experiences are the survival way of the convenience store survived through fierce competition in later generations. No one needs to prove it again!

  So, the traverser itself is a person with his own system aura.

  After the meeting, Wu Guangyao retained Fu Hongru;

"I intend to promote Uniqlo clothing brand stores to the world. I will give you an idea, that is, there are more styles of clothing design, and the clothing cycle should be short; for example, we can put a style of clothing on the shelf. After more than three months, all of them must be taken off the shelves. In this way, we will dominate fashion!"

   "But this way, we probably need a lot of designers!"

  Faced with Fu Hongru’s worries, Wu Guangyao asked him to use an insidious trick.

“Designers don’t need to be too many. For example, if we recruit 300 designers around the world, we can deal with stores spreading all over the world. Refit it and turn it into our own design style. Of course, this may need to be legally responsible, but what about it? Can we earn more from fines?"

Wu Guangyao's words left Fu Hongru stunned. After a long time, he finally reacted and said excitedly: "Yes! And it is difficult to be sued because of the need to collect all kinds of evidence and consume a lot of energy. In the end, he was only fined a little. ."

  Wu Guangyao nodded, this trick is not original, but based on the Spanish brand ZARA in the previous life;

  And this brand will be established in three years!

  The Uniqlo in Wu Guangyao's hands combines the advantages of previous brands such as Uniqlo, Wu Yinliang, and ZARA, and I believe it will definitely achieve great results.

  Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Hitotsubashi Group headquarters, several key figures of the Aiga family gathered together.

  The Hitotsubashi Group is the largest publishing group in Japan, mainly centered on two publishing houses, Shogakukan and Shueisha. The company name comes from Hitotsubashi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, where the headquarters of Shogakukan and Shueisha are located.

  Because the Shogakukan established by the Aiga family was mainly to publish learning magazines, the entertainment magazine department was separated to form Shueisha;

  Later, Shogakukan itself also participated in the entertainment and publishing business, but now Shogakukan and Shueisha are based on the principle of competition. In order to promote the growth and development of the two, they are still competing against each other within the same group.

  In the future (1973), Hitotsubashi Group will have a Shiraisensha, but it has not yet been established at this time. Shiraisensha is a publishing house that publishes girl manga.

  The Hitotsubashi Group is currently the overlord of the Japanese comics industry. The only one who can barely compare with him is the Otowa Group, which is run by the Noma family. The Otowa Group is a publishing house with Kodansha as its core.

  The people of the Xianghe family have a heavy feeling on their faces. Obviously something is making everyone nervous!

"According to the statistics of the Comic Association, the weekly sales of the comic magazine "Manke World" under the Oriental Comics Club has now stabilized at 800,000 copies, ranking sixth in the sales of comic magazines, which is far beyond our expectations. The growth of Touhou Manga Club is amazing. If we don't stop it, it might be a great threat to us!" As the head of the family, Ichiro Aiga, who is also the president of Shogakukan, said in a deep voice.

  Aga Ichiro thought of the authoritative list he saw yesterday, and couldn't help but feel nervous!

  More importantly, the character behind the Touhou Manga Club is a person who has shocked the Japanese business community. There is no reason why you are not nervous!

  As for the authoritative list, it is a list compiled by the Japan Manga Association. The details of the latest list are as follows:

  First place: "Weekly Youth SUNDAY", affiliated to the Primary School, with weekly sales of 2.2 million copies;

  Second place: "Weekly Youth JUMP", affiliated to Shueisha, with a weekly sales volume of 2.02 million;

   Third place: "Weekly Shonen MAGAZINE", affiliated to Kodansha, with weekly sales of 1.7 million copies;

  Sixth place, "Manke World", affiliated to Oriental Comics, has a weekly sales of 800,000 copies;

   "However, I have investigated that there is an oriental dragon behind the Oriental Comics Club; that is Wu Guangyao, the richest man in the world, and this person is not that easy to deal with!" Shueisha President Heiichi Aiga said.

"What about Wu Guangyao? At least our strength in the field of comics is far surpassed by him. Coupled with the fact that we are fighting locally, what else can he do to us in Japan? Heiichi, you are too timid! Aiga Ichiro said loudly.

  Saga Heiichi dissatisfied and said: "I didn't say not to deal with Oriental Comics, I just hope that we will think about the plan, instead of blindly targeting a powerful dragon."

  Saga Ichiro heard this and said apologetically: "Sorry, I am so excited!"

After the turmoil subsided, Aiga Ichiro continued: "Currently, the weekly sales of "Manke World" are in the 80th year. Their "Ultraman Series" and "Detective Conan Series" are undoubtedly classics. The rest of the comics only It can be considered above-average."

Family executives Aiga Heqing said: "A comic company that has only been established for six years is very good! Can we put pressure on the major bookstores to stop ordering "Manke World"; after all, Oriental Comics only has A comic magazine, and our publishing house publishes a large number of books and magazines. Those bookstores generally don’t offend our kind parents."

  Everyone was overjoyed. This is a good method. They took a salary from the bottom and directly cut off the channel of Oriental Comics.

  The cartoon business of Hitotsubashi Group accounts for almost one-fifth of the profits, and the number of publications only accounts for one-seventh;

  The Hitotsubashi Group has published a large number of publications in education, humanities, and social sciences. That's why it has such confidence that it can make the bookstore succumb.

Aiga Heiichi calmly said: "Oriental Comics and a Japanese woman have formed a joint-venture bookstore, which looks like more than 20 stores. Moreover, Dongfang Comics also has 20 physical display stores of'Manke World'. So this trick is not a draw from the bottom of the pot, it can only be regarded as a heavy blow to Oriental Comics!"

   Aiga Ichiro said with a smile: "This is not bad. We can also publish comics and romantic comedy comics similar to "Detective Conan", which can completely steal the business of Oriental Comics."

   Saiga Heiichi said: "In that case, why don't we contact other Japanese publishing houses and suppress them together? After all, this is also related to their market!"

   "Yes! Otowa Group is logically more nervous than us, after all, he is behind us; it was so decided, we went to visit other publishing houses separately, and we must bring this tragic dragon back to its original form!"
