Chapter 223: Out of stock

"Come on, let's go to line up too!"

Lu Xue happily pulled her husband to stand at the back of the line. As soon as she walked over, she heard the discussion of the two people in front.

"What a coincidence, you also come here to buy "Weekly Boys"?"

"It's you, haha, I heard that this issue of the magazine is about to become Teacher He Xi's column. It's also the first time that Nanhu City will release it simultaneously, and other bookstores will only have it in the afternoon. I can't miss this opportunity!"

"That's right, the scene is really spectacular, this time it didn't come in vain!"

"It's a pity that Huamei opens too late. It would be better if it opened earlier. I have to go to work later."

Hearing the chat between these two readers, Lu Xue sighed in her heart. Last week, the sales volume of "Weekly Boutique" magazine broke the historical record in mid-summer last week, and many media did not take "Weekly Youth" seriously.

But looking at the current situation, "Weekly Boys" may not be worse than "Weekly Boutique".

"Crack..."

When Lu Xue heard the sound of taking pictures, she turned her head and found that her husband was holding up his mobile phone to take pictures.

"What are you doing?" she asked curiously.

"Taking pictures, this kind of scene is rare." The husband replied, and then pointed to the team in front: "Look, there are still many people taking pictures!"

Lu Xue looked up, and sure enough, many young people were taking pictures with their mobile phones. Nowadays, people are very trendy, and taking pictures and sharing them online is one of them.

share? Lu Xue seemed to think of something, but before she caught the inspiration, the team cheered suddenly: "The door is open, the door is open!"

The aluminum alloy rolling shutter door of Huamei Bookstore slowly opened a gap, and then stopped suddenly. The clerk inside heard the cheers outside, and looked through the gap curiously. Countless eyes stared at him. She was taken aback.

"so many people!?"

This clerk has worked in Huamei Bookstore for several years. I have never seen so many people gathered outside the door. What happened? All these people came to buy "Weekly Shonen"?

The female clerk was a little nervous, she decisively closed the shutter door again, hurried into the bookstore and shouted: "Manager, manager, there are a lot of book buyers outside, we don't have enough manpower!"

Huamei Chain Bookstore Headquarters,

The phone rang incessantly.

"Yes, no manpower? It's because you didn't prepare well in advance, we..."

"How many readers are there at the door of the bookstore? Is it open for business..."

The operators were busy answering the phone. While answering the phone, they have to record matters on paper. The two men who bought Huamei Bookstore are different from the previous chairman. Their requirements are very strict, especially for data and response speed.

These operators have to record the status of bookstores across China in real time, and then have specialized personnel submit the statistics. When others are still asleep, they are busy and sweating profusely.

Even so, however, the two managers were still not satisfied.

"Slow, it's too slow! What era is this? They're still procrastinating!" The young man with glasses was particularly dissatisfied, although the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa next to him was also frowning. But the performance is more rational: "Forget it, we can't put the previous standards here. This is an ordinary company, and the current efficiency is not bad."

"Let them quickly calculate the sales forecast in the future. I think the situation is a bit wrong. It would be ridiculous if the stock is out of stock."

Out of stock, this kind of situation will make these two men feel ashamed to face the old man, and Huamei Bookstore will be in charge of two other better people.

They don't want to give up this task to others.

At seven o'clock in the morning, a quarrel erupted between Phoenix Company and the editorial department of "Weekly Boys".

"How many times do you want me to tell you that there are not enough magazines in Zhaoyang District, and the bookstores there are calling to urge you! Professor Yang, please inform the publishing house quickly and let them send the stock in the warehouse!"

"No, absolutely not! The magazines in the warehouse will be shipped to other cities in two hours, and there is no extra quantity for Zhaoyang District!"

The topic of quarrel among the editors was the insufficient number of magazines. This week was the first week of joint sales between Phoenix Company and Huamei Bookstore. Phoenix Company distributed half of the magazines to Huamei Bookstore.

However, the current situation is unexpected. The channel of "Weekly Boys" is showing signs of being out of stock. Even in Ninghai City where the preparations are quite adequate, in just one hour, many bookstores will sell out of magazines.

"Sun Yang, tell the publishing house to reprint immediately! The warehouse takes the lead in meeting the needs of the nearby areas, and the magazines reprinted by the publishing house are sent to various places."

The editor-in-chief of the editorial department, Ye Xiong, gave orders calmly and calmly. His calm appearance was trustworthy, but his heart was turbulent.

This issue of "Weekly Youth" is the one with the most works by He Xi, and the editorial department expects its sales to be booming. Coupled with the joining of Huamei Bookstore, the number of magazines prepared in advance has more than doubled before!

In other words, although the channels of Huami and Phoenix have conflicts and overlaps in some cities, Phoenix does not give any discount when calculating sales through its own channels. Even in Ninghai City, they have prepared a magazine sales forecast of one million.

However, it seems that the editors still underestimated the effect of He Xi's three episodes, and the company's inventory seems to be insufficient.

"Miscalculation, too many magazines were given to Huamei Bookstore." Ye Xiong frowned thinking, he might have overestimated Huamei Bookstore's sales, he should have given one third of the magazines to Huamei Bookstore, and one third 2. Sell by yourself.

"Zhou Quan, call Huamei Bookstore and ask if they have any extra magazines to return to us."

Ye Xiong gave instructions to one editor, but just as he finished speaking, another editor suddenly exclaimed: "Editor-in-Chief, Huamei is calling!"

The young editor covered the microphone with his hand, turned to Ye Xiong and said, "The popularity of Huamei Shuo magazine has exceeded expectations. We need to provide another 400,000 copies. What should we do?"

There was a sound of breathing in the entire editorial office, and then there was a dead silence.

"Do you want to reprint?" Sun Yang, who was in charge of negotiating with the publishing house, jumped up first: "Impossible, the publishing house is already working at full capacity, and there is no way to reprint!"

Ye Xiong stood up slowly, he was a little dizzy. what's going on? Not only Phoenix Company needs to reprint, but Huamei Bookstore also needs it. Both of their companies are facing the possibility of out of stock?

This week's "Weekly Boys" has twice the previous shipments, and the flash report hasn't come out yet, but Huami's orders alone have exceeded the previous total sales!

Why is this happening?

Is He Xi's three episodes really so good? This is not right, it takes several hours for a good comic to show its effect, but now it has only been released for less than an hour, and almost all readers who bought the magazine have not read this issue of comics!

"Alice." Ye Xiong called out, and the blond female editor stood up: "Editor-in-Chief, don't ask me, I'm also confused."

Alice frowned slightly, she was both surprised and happy, although she didn't know why the sales were so hot at the beginning. However, when readers read this issue of "Weekly Boys", the popularity will increase further. She is very confident in the three-episode plot of "Detective Conan".

"You don't know either?"

Ye Xiong was very surprised, there was no reason for this, but he thought about it, Huamei Bookstore's popularity may be due to their good advertising outside. As for the sales volume of Phoenix Company, if the influence of Huamei Bookstore is removed, the current situation will not be too exaggerated...

Although there are still many doubts, these answers can be investigated afterwards, and what is more important now is——

"You answer Huamei Bookstore first, we will provide 400,000 copies immediately!" Ye Xiong patted the table, said to the editor who answered the phone, then turned his head and shouted: "Sun Yang, you contact other publishing houses and ask them to help reprint. "

The editors began to work in division of labor, and Alice also sorted the packages. She was going to the warehouse to supervise the deployment of the magazine.

"Alice, this issue of "Weekly Youth" may not be as good as "Weekly Boutique", but it should exceed half of its sales." Ye Xiong said to Alice: "The gap will be narrowed in the future, you can inform Teacher He Xi about this." good news!"

"I will inform him, but let's wait two days later..." Alice nodded, and then said with a smile: "The child is taking an exam today." (To be continued...)
