Early in the morning, Red Umbrella Bookstore, Vic Street, Atlanta.
"Waiter, do you have" The King of Fury "? Lucky Andrea's one."
"No."
"Shit, what kind of garbage bookstore is this?"
"Hey, boy! Would you please give me a copy of" Angry Battle King "?"
"Sorry, this comic is not available here."
"Uh, I said, no wonder this side is so deserted. So I still have to queue up, hell, there are hundreds of people waiting there."
At this time, Kadir, the owner of the Red Umbrella Bookstore, was already looking as if he was looking at the earth. His shop assistant Lowry glanced at him sideways.
"BOSS, the people at the door of the wind chime bookstore are all lined up at the end of the alley. They got two hundred copies today, but I don't think it will last long--"
"I know I know!"
Kadir snorted and looked away: "It's nothing. It's just a hot cartoon, but it's more than two thousand golden shields' turnover."
"The problem is that our sales have fallen by 30% in the past two days."
Lorry lowered his head and dusted the non-existent dust on the bookshelf with his hair: "Those customers don't have patience at all. I heard that I can't buy" Angry Warrior ", so I don't want to shop in the store.
Kadir's breathing began to get heavy.
"More than this BOSS."
This is another young female clerk: "They still play bundle sales, they have to buy other things in their shop to be able to buy this comic."
"Shit!"
Kadir scolded: "Is this illegal? Can the Rising Sun Press accept it?"
The female clerk spread her hand: "It is said that she was severely warned by the publisher, and she was also on TV news. Just last night, did you watch it? But people still do what they do, but they are not so rampant. It ’s just that they only sell stationery and handicrafts operated by their bookstores. There is no way, there are only more than three hundred in the city of Atlanta now selling the King of Fury. "
"There are at least two thousand bookstores in Atlanta, and there are many newsstands-"
Kadir grumbled with dissatisfaction: "Aren't they going to stock in other bookstores? I guarantee honesty and don't bully."
"But BOSS, we have an agreement with Ferguson Media Group."
"Damn agreement!"
Kadir walked to the counter and picked up the phone: "What is the phone number of the Rising Sun Publishing House? Does that sales manager seem to call Delary?"
"In the second drawer under the table."
Clerk Lori couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you going to buy at Rising Sun Publishing House? But BOSS only has a turnover of two thousand gold shields."
"Asshole, do you think I will not count? In a few days, it will be more than 2000, and this comic is not just a volume."
Kadir's lips twitched, and I just saw the following drawer: "Ferguson's profit margin is very large, and there are sales commissions. But the newspapers and magazines they are running now can't reach the store."
"Then the manager, do you know what to say?"
"What should I say? Of course I know that this time it is either."
However, this call was busy several times, and it was busy at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Manager Kadir? Is the Red Umbrella Bookstore?"
The voice over there clearly showed a sense of alienation: "Mr. Manager, our printing plant is now operating at full capacity. I'm afraid I can't get more supplies for you."
"Damn it! Delary, put away your set, I know you have it over there. Our bookstore will end cooperation with Ferguson Media Group OK?"
"Sorry, I don't understand what you mean?"
"I mean, we will move all the publications of Ferguson Media to the corner of the bookstore."
"Mr. Kadir, this kind of behavior that will hurt harm to friends, we do not agree."
The sales manager named Delary obviously added a bit of enthusiasm to his tone: "But since you are so sincere, I can give you 30 copies. But before that, we will have a Is it okay for a salesperson to go to your shop to see the environment? "
"So what if we no longer sell Ferguson Media publications?"
Manager Kadir's eyes shimmered: "We will also put the Atlanta Laborers Daily and the Georgia Post in the first row."
"And Atlanta Daily Telegraph."
The voice on the phone already contains appreciation: "100 volumes, you can arrive at the store tomorrow at five in the morning. This is already the maximum amount that I can give you within my terms of reference. If you want to add more, then you have to find My boss. So, I will give you some Andre ’s pictorials, do you know that? They have also been selling very well recently, and the girls like it very much. OK, that ’s it.
"Why must it be tomorrow morning? Is it possible in the afternoon?"
Mr. Kadir complained about putting down the phone, and then glanced at his clerk Lowry: "Notify Ferguson Media that they will either bring their own things back, or we will send them to the warehouse. Then make an announcement, Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, there will be three hundred copies of "The King of Fury" and two hundred Andre's pictorials on sale. Lowry, shall we also have a tie-in? "
"Wow, don't you hate that lucky Andrea?"
"It's still very annoying, very disgusting."
The manager of Kadir cried: "So I decided to get all the money I lost on him."

In the Ferguson News Building, in a conference room on the 32nd floor, it was a bitter and bitter rain. All the people at the meeting were condensed and their breath was low.
"Our cable machine room still can't be repaired? What does Noah Company say? Twelve days? Is the repair cost 15 million gold shields for them to eat shit! After twelve days, who else will come and see Our TV station? Tell them that 15 million gold shields are okay, the time must be shortened to 10 days, and this requirement should be written into the contract. "
"Adler, consult with several TV stations in Atlanta as soon as possible to see if you can borrow their equipment. It is acceptable at any cost, as long as it can last these ten days."
"Lead, what about the loan negotiation with the Georgian People's Bank? They refused? Why? Ferguson Media's ability to repay the loan is unquestionable!"
"Waste! It's all waste! My men, why are they all a fool?"
"Tell Rasha ~ EbookFREE.me ~ We will owe him the money we owe, but not now. Ask him if he wants to cooperate with our TV station? If his show still wants to appear on Ferguson Cable TV, then trouble He shut up for me. "
Mandivin Ferguson sat in the chair, like an out-of-control tyrant, wantonly venting his anger to his subordinates.
At this moment, the door of the meeting room suddenly sounded a knock, and then a female employee walked in with a pale face holding the folder in her hand.
Mandivin Ferguson couldn't help but look sideways at this person: "Who are you from the sales department? Don't know if we are in a meeting?"
"Chairman, a new situation is happening now, I think I must report to you."
This female staff member was clearly frightened: "Within one and a half hours of your meeting just now, there are another 124 bookstores, let us retrieve all the consignment publications."
Mandivin Ferguson's breath instantly became colder, but this time he did not drink and scowled, but frowned tightly: "Because of" The King of Fury ", the sales are still very hot, right?"
"Yes, chairman."
This is the sales director sitting here for a meeting. The look of this one is particularly bitter: "According to the information we have, the 90,000 copies of the Rising Sun Publishing House in Atlanta were sold out at 9:25 in the morning. Most bookstores only opened at nine o'clock. Now all the major TV stations and media are overwhelmingly discussing the war of anger and Andrea. This is probably a phenomenon-level, no! Comics, it has become the most advantageous weapon in the hands of Rising Sun. "
