Chapter 215: Operations Research

   After returning to his residence, Wang Wenhong opened his notebook and just made a one-page plan. He put his arms around his chest, and after a little thought, he dialed Xie Shiqi's cell phone.

Xie Shiqi was worrying about the reduction of practitioners in the dojo recently. When she received a call from Wang Wenhong, she was at a loss.

She and Wang Wenhong are only limited to the cooperation of "Soul of the Game". Besides, there is no intersection. Therefore, Wang Wenhong deliberately talks with her on the phone, which is rare.

"Teacher Xie, please give me the addresses and contact numbers of all Go dojos in Hongchuan." Wang Wenhong said straightforwardly, "You should have it? With Teacher Xie's prestige in Hongchuan, those dojos should take the initiative to agree with you. Teacher contact, right?"

"Huh?" Xie Shiqi blinked, not knowing why, "Do you want the phone numbers and addresses of other dojos?"

"Well, if you can, please hurry up."

"Then... please wait a moment."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Wenhong came to the bookshelf, pulled out the latest 11 issues of "icfuture", and did not hesitate to tore "icfuture" completely.

At least 150,000 copies of "Soul of the Game" in a single week...must be completed!

Wang Wenhong gritted his teeth and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Unknowingly, his shirt was soaked with sweat.

The 12th episode of "Soul of the Game" "Sprout", with the publication of the new issue of "icfuture", the popularity has picked up slightly. In the latest issue of "Little Books", it took the seventh place.

In Chapter 12, Tetsuo Kaga and Kohiro Tsutsui, who participated in the middle school Go game, achieved one win and one loss in the team competition. All the pressure was concentrated on Hikaru.

Xiaoguang also lived up to expectations. With the help of Zuwei, he helped Yeze Middle School to defeat Haiwang Middle School and became the champion of the North District Go Tournament for middle school students.

Afterwards, someone immediately pointed out that Xiaoguang was not a student of Yeze Middle School, and the organizer cancelled the championship qualifications of Xiaoguang and others in accordance with regulations.

The readers' evaluation of this remark is very high, and the letter from the readers also proves that "God of the Game" is recovering, but the ranking has not been greatly improved.

"Hey, Xiao Wang, you can't go on like this. The seventh and eighth places shouldn't be the rankings that "Soul of Goss" should have. The magazine has spent so much energy and must produce results. You let Mr. Shen think about it. Way." Hook patted the table and looked at Wang Wenhong on the opposite side.

This stormy roar didn't have any effect on Wang Wenhong. He kept tapping the keyboard with both hands, never looking away from the big screen.

Just as Hu Ke was about to get angry, Wang Wenhong's computer made a "ding dong" sound, and an email was received in his mailbox.

Wang Wenhong opened it immediately, then glanced at the content of the email, leaning forward, his eyes seemed to be nailed to the screen.

"What's the matter?" Hook asked.

"The cover of the first chapter of "The Soul of the Game" has been designed."

"Huh?" Hook hurriedly walked around and glanced at the screen.

The background color of the cover is white, and the background is a transparent chessboard with black and white chess pieces placed on it. The only role is placed on the left side of the cover.

"The black and white colors represent black and white chess, and they are more in line with Zuo Wei's image. The cover is simple and gives readers a clean feeling." Wang Wenhong explained while forwarding the email to Shang Haozhi.

"Well, not bad. Eh... Xiao Wang, can't you hear me?" Hu Ke was surprised.

"I'm very busy now and don't have time to explain your question." Wang Wenhong downloaded the cover and opened ps at the same time.

Hook looked depressed and couldn't say a word for a long time.

At this time, Shang Haozhi replied to the e-mail, with only one word in the content—Yes.

It took Wang Wenhong more than half an hour to create a one-line poster based on the cover of the one-line book and the color pages drawn by Shen Xin before. Then he forwarded the poster to Shang Haozhi, and then took out two copies from the folder and printed them. Form, stand up.

"Where are you going?" Hook quickly asked when he saw Wang Wenhong who was about to leave.

"Sales department." Before Wang Wenhong's voice fell, Ren had left the editorial department.

"Go to... the sales department?" The muscles on Hook's face twitched twice. "Is it stunned? What are you going to do in the sales department?"

Wang Wenhong took the elevator to the sales department upstairs.

Every salesperson is busy, flipping through the phone book while negotiating with each other.

The manager Jiang Zhong, who was sitting at the innermost side of the office, had a gloomy face, and his boredom was written on his face without concealment.

Wang Wenhong rarely deals with the sales department.

The editorial department is responsible for the quality of the comics, while the sales department needs to sell the booklets.

At first glance, the two departments do not overlap. In fact, the relationship between Shang Haozhi and Jiang Zhong is not very good.

The reason is simple. The editorial department thinks that the comics that can be published in single-page editions are of good quality. Therefore, they want to print as many as possible, but in fact it is not the case. Some comics that are popular in magazines have been published. The effect was not good, but the top executives ignored these objective factors and put the blame on the sales department.

"The comics are obviously so popular, why can't the single-books be sold? It must be because you didn't work hard."

Every time he heard these words, Jiang Zhong had the urge to leave.

This is almost the case in "Hireki".

If you follow the previous small book, the score of "Soul of Chess" is stable at about fourth, and the first edition of 300,000 copies is not bad. But in recent words, the ranking of "Gossip" can be called a "disaster", how could it be possible to sell 300,000 copies.

Shang Hao was determined to reject all opinions, and even took out the position of editor-in-chief as a guarantee, and the top executives could only agree.

As a result, the first print of 300,000 copies of "Hire" was confirmed, and the sales department's life instantly became difficult.

Half of the salespeople went out to negotiate with bookstores in Hongchuan, and the remaining half contacted bookstores in other places.

But the sales volume is hard to say accurately, and no one can determine the final sales volume before the booklet is actually on sale.

Jiang Zhong is very depressed~lightnovelpub.net~ Recently, a lot of hair has fallen out.

Wang Wenhong went straight to Jiang Zhong's desk and stared at the old man over half a hundred years old in front of him, "Manager Jiang, I am Wang Wenhong, the editor in charge of "The Soul of Chess"."

"Ah? You are the editor in charge of "Soul of the Chess"?" Jiang Zhong was sulking. Hearing Wang Wenhong's self-introduction, his anger rushed to his forehead, "You won't stay in the editorial department. What are you going to do in the sales department?"

Wang Wenhong pretended not to hear the dissatisfaction in Jiang Zhong's words, and put the form in his hand in front of him, "Manager Jiang, you will know by looking at this form."

"Pretend to be a fool."

Jiang Zhong frowned, picked up the form, read it roughly, and most of the anger on his face disappeared. After reading the form word by word again, his mentality calmed down.

"Wait... You mean, let us communicate with the Go Dojo and invite them to promote and sell "Hire of Go"?" Jiang Zhong rubbed his chin, his face finally had a complexion.

This method is indeed feasible.

"I’m not asking you to communicate with the dojo. In fact, I’ve already contacted the 10 large and small dojos in Hongchuan. They agreed to display and promote the “Soul of Go” in the dojo after reading the comics of “Soul of Go”. Next, we You can communicate with chess clubs and Go classrooms. Try your best to broaden the readership of "Soul of the Game", Manager Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Zhong rubbed his chin and nodded slightly, "...you can try it."

The two looked at each other, and smiles appeared on each other's faces.
