Chapter 31: The Times

"Detective Conan" booklet was released for one day, and the sales volume in Ninghai City exceeded 700,000!

On the 12th, Lai Lu, a reporter from Comic News Network who just woke up, received a call from her boss. She looked at the date, half a year had passed since April Fool's Day, how could there be such absurd things?

"Boss, don't tease me, I will go to work on time today."

"Why am I teasing you early in the morning! Lai Lu, if you don't want to be fired, go to the Phoenix Building right now. Xiao Wu has already passed by. No matter who you two interview, you must bring me the news!"

The boss yelled and hung up the phone, Lai Lu was stunned for a long time before realizing that this was not a joke.

She didn't even eat, and hurried to the Phoenix Building.

""Detective Conan"... 700,000..."

If this news is true, the storm it brings is too great. Normally, the editorial department of "Weekly Boys" would not accept interviews easily, and Lai Lu had to block them at the door before they went to work, and maybe block one or two heavyweights.

But when she came to the Phoenix Tower, she was stunned. There were already dozens of reporters with microphones or cameras waiting for her.

"Can't they slow down!"

Lai Lu secretly sighed, and then joined her colleague Xiao Wu.

Word of the press travels so quickly, which is why they are called the paparazzi.

However, it is not surprising that such a scene occurs in major news. Lai Lu has basically confirmed that the news is true, otherwise these reporters would not be attracted. She still remembered the smug face of Mr. Mach, the author of "Sherlock" interviewed yesterday, wondering how he would feel when he heard the news?

Lai Lu had a good impression of that handsome cartoonist, and couldn't help feeling sad.

Teacher Mach is a talented cartoonist. The sales of "Sherlock" are extremely hot. Who would have thought that the record would be broken the next day? In today's results, the more genius Mr. Mach is and the more powerful the sales of "Detective Sherlock", the more powerful "Detective Conan" will be shown!

The editor-in-chief of Longteng's comics once said that no matter whether it is hostile or not, a comic genius will always turn many people into stepping stones on the road.

This sentence was originally a declaration of Longteng Company's contempt for other peers, but today it seems full of irony: the genius of this company is being surpassed by a newcomer cartoonist, no matter how hard Mr. Mach struggles, He Xi will step on him.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Alice put on some foundation with a makeup mirror, and then rang the doorbell of Meng Huo's house.

"Oh, it's you, sister!"

Li Qin opened the door with a look of surprise: "Come in, why is it so early today?"

"Good news today."

Alice closed the door, changed her shoes and entered the room, and immediately found Meng Huo sitting at the dining table eating noodles.

"Are you still having breakfast?"

"Yes, have you eaten? I'll get you a bowl."

Li Qin walked towards the kitchen after speaking.

"Sister Qin, no need, I've already eaten!"

Alice hurried over to stop it, she was a little embarrassed, it's not always good to come over when others are eating.

"Then let me pour you a glass of water."

Li Qin asked Alice to sit on the sofa, poured her a glass of water,

Then go back and continue eating noodles.

At this time, Meng Huo had finished eating, so he drank all the milk, dried his mouth with a paper towel, walked to Alice and sat down.

"Any news?" He asked, and then looked at Alice's face strangely: "You seem to have dark circles, did you not sleep last night?"

Alice was startled, didn't she cover it up just now? Meng Huo's eyes are too powerful! Of course, this was just a coincidence. Meng Huo had been paying attention to the problem of dark circles under his eyes these days, so he noticed it inadvertently.

"Last night was a busy night." Alice smiled wryly: ""Detective Conan" is going to be reprinted, and those bookmarks were made elsewhere, and several editors didn't sleep."

She regretted it a little. If the number of first printings was doubled, it would be much easier now.

"Printing?" Meng Huo didn't think it was strange. Huaxia is so big, and the first printing of more than one million copies is definitely not enough: "How was the sales volume of the booklet yesterday?"

"That's all I'm going to say!"

Alice immediately became excited: "Wait a minute, I'll turn on the TV for you, the morning news must be on."

She turned on the TV and tuned to the Ninghai TV channel. Within a few minutes, the news of "Detective Conan" was broadcast.

"According to news from our entertainment channel, "Detective Conan" released yesterday sold 850,000 copies in Ninghai on the first day, breaking the record of 700,000 detective comics set by "Detective Sherlock" the day before... It is reported that "Detective Conan" "Conan" is the first original comic book to achieve this sales volume. Experts predict that its final sales volume is expected to exceed 8 million copies, surpassing the adaptation of popular novels, and this is only the first single book released by this comic book..."

The sales of various bookstores were scrolling on the TV, and then the camera turned to the Phoenix Building.

"Reporting from the front reporter."

Among the swarming reporters, Ye Xiong, editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "Weekly Boys", was blocked at the door and could not enter.

"Editor Ye, the sales volume of "Detective Conan" has been confirmed. Do you think this is a miracle?"

Ye Xiong's face was obviously tired, but his eyes were very clear.

"Of course I don't think so. Ever since I received the submission of "Detective Conan", I have believed that it will have such a day!" He said vigorously: "This sales volume is just the beginning. The comic industry has changed, and it will not No matter the appendage of novels, I believe there will be more excellent original comics, and comics will become a brand new thing that can compete with any other cultural industry!"

"Editor Ye, although "Detective Conan" has surpassed "Detective Sherlock" in sales in Ninghai City, "Detective Sherlock" has a wider range of fans across the country. Compared to the two characters of the Three Kingdoms, who do you think is Zhuge and who is Zhou Yu?"

"You don't have to beat around the bush, just ask me who will win!"

Ye Xiong glanced at the reporter who asked the question.

"However, according to your analogy, Teacher He Xi will undoubtedly be Zhuge." He snorted coldly: "Mr. Mach cannot be said to be Zhou Yu. Teacher He Xi's opponent has not yet appeared, and perhaps never will appear..."

Wow——

The reporters on the field were in an uproar, all shocked by Ye Xiong's declaration.

Meng Huo in front of the TV was also shocked by his attention. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiong came back with a more explosive speech.

"I believe that Mr. He Xi opened up an era of original comics. I hope that all other cartoonists can realize this and use their wisdom and sweat to catch up in this era. Otherwise, this will not be an era of comics. .”

"It's He Xi's era!"
