Vol 5 Chapter 212: Academic sale

Jax is a "London Daily" reporter.
The name of "London Daily" sounds very popular, but in fact, with the development of technology, the information and communication industry has become very developed. Due to the limitations of its distribution, "London Daily" has fallen from London's medium-sized media to a family. The level of tabloids and the revenue from sales only allow the newspaper to function normally.
This is how the newspaper operates, and the difficulty of the reporter's work can be imagined.
In the big media industry, Jax is just a very, very ordinary little reporter. He has to run around for the news content he reports every day. In his free time, he has to walk around the street to see other tabloids Magazine news, look for something that might become a report.
After having breakfast, as usual, Jax walked on the street with a camera and work bag, watching the surroundings as he walked.
Thinking about the interview task to be completed in a day, he felt a headache, not because the interview was difficult, but ... there is nothing to interview at all, they are not like the big media reporters, they can go in and out of the clubs of concern, or go to interviews What senior government officials, most of their reports are just a matter of the streets, trying to make these contents into interesting news, but it is very difficult.
So for the media, interview materials are very important, but the "London Daily" does not have the corresponding ability, so Jax can only run around to find materials.
Not knowing how long it took to walk along Crouville Street, Jax stopped and took a sip, and walked over when he saw a newspaper kiosk next to it.
"Anything new?" Jax asked.
The boss of the newspaper kiosk is an old man, and everyone around him calls him old John. He has a long beard, so he has another nickname called "Beard John". When Jax asked, the beard John was sitting and watching The newspaper that I sent looked up slightly and saw Jax's attire, and knew that this was a little reporter. Such people generally wouldn't buy magazines. So he said impatiently, "Look for yourself!"
Jax shrugged indifferently, and picked up a magazine on the side and looked at it.
"The Journal of University College London?" A look at the name. Jax shook his head, this kind of academic magazines certainly would not have the news he wanted.
But he opened the catalog.
Then Jax's eyes stopped there, and he finally mumbled and wondered, "Motion recovery theory and practical application? All nine pages? The writer is ... is ... Wan Sheng? What a strange name ... "
"wrong!"
Jax is smart. Immediately felt the name was familiar, then immediately responded with wide eyes, "Wan Sheng? Wan Sheng? Yes, Wan Sheng? This is his new research? My God—"
"Boss! Boss!"
Bearded John raised his head in doubt, and saw the little reporter in front of him shouting, "I want this magazine, how much is it?"
"Two pounds and 10 shillings (1 pound 20 shillings)."
"It's quite expensive!" Jax said, still handing over the money, and then carefully looked at the magazine and left.
Beard John kept watching, he was a little puzzled and didn't understand what this little reporter was anxious to buy a journal for?
This kind of thing is really rare.
Finally he shook his head. Put his mind on the newspaper in his hand again.
It is reported that the last round of the League Cup, the game of Arsenal and Manchester City, the large picture is exactly the picture of Wan Sheng and Wenger smiling and shaking hands.
...
After leaving the kiosk, Jax found a street bench and carefully read the reports in the academic journal.
Most of the above content is directly posted on Wansheng's research papers, some of which are very professional, ordinary people don't understand the meaning at all, and naturally, they will also feel very boring when they look carefully. Jax is also no different from ordinary people. He is not a professional researcher, but he pays more attention to the general content and the name of the writer-Wan Sheng.
These two points are enough.
After roughly browsing all the content. Jax decided to report the matter immediately.
If it ’s an ordinary person, just go here, let the boss know what news he has received, and then the boss decides what to do. This is what an ordinary reporter should do. Little reporter.
Jax worked as a small reporter for so many years. His mind is very active, it is impossible for him to go to Manchester to interview Wansheng, but he can interview the person who published the academic journal!
"University College London's academic journal? Isn't University College London nearby?"
Jax took a taxi and went straight to University College London.
The media industry in the UK is very developed. Jax is just the fastest among many media reporters, and soon other reporters also discovered it. Very fast speed spread to London, and recently spread to the whole of the United Kingdom, many large media also posted this news on their official website for the first time.
For the media, whether or not Wansheng's research progress is correct is not important. What is important is that this is Wansheng's research. This alone is enough to attract a lot of attention.
...
As usual, 10,000 copies of the Journal of University College London were printed this time. Of the 10,000 copies, more than 9,000 copies were sent directly to the hands of students, teachers or others who ordered the quantity. The rest A small portion is used for retail sales in and around the college.
Although the content of this issue is extraordinary, because the number of orders issued is fixed, the influence within the college is not as great as expected, perhaps also because, only one morning, many orderers have not yet received What about magazines.
But when the time came to noon, the influence gradually showed.
The first is that some scattered stall sellers come to the place where they learn to publish magazines. They all say, "The sales effect of this issue is very good, and many readers have to buy it."
On weekdays, this kind of campus journal is difficult to sell too much, but today is different, this journal sells very well, and everyone will know why this happens because of the content of the journal. The writer is the young Chinese who is very influential in English and European football, Wan Sheng.
Among these pick-ups was John the Beard.
When Jax bought the first, John the Beard still felt a little strange. But he soon stopped thinking about it, but then there were a few people on the street who opened the content of the journal and bought it directly. John Beard didn't feel right. So he also opened the academic journal and saw the signature of the writer who wrote the long manuscript-Wan Sheng?
"Wan Sheng? Isn't that the Manchester City coach who shook hands with Mr. Wenger?"
Beard John understood something.
Soon the 20 academic journals sent in the morning were bought. In order to make more money, Beard John had to come to University College London to pick up the goods. He called his wife to help him look at the stall. I went directly to the Institute of University College London.
Although I have been selling the Journal of University College London, in fact, this journal was sent to his booth in the morning after it was printed. He will go to the University of London to pick up the goods for the first time. The sales of magazines are not very good, but entering this higher education institution, John Beard still felt very cautious. Fortunately, when he arrived here, he saw many colleagues.
They all came with the same purpose.
Unfortunately. They waited for a very poor result.
"It's all sold out. We have to wait until the afternoon to get the books. We will print some more." Joe Sick, the vice president of the society, said.
So that everyone can only wait until the afternoon.
In fact, Joe Sick was also quite surprised. He knew that Wansheng had a great influence, so he decided to leave most of the journals to Wansheng ’s research papers, but he did not expect that the effect would be so good. Normally, academic journals The effect of retail sales is very poor. There will be hundreds of surpluses in each period. These surpluses are waiting for the next period. It was given as a gift directly.
He didn't expect that the effect of retail sales would be so good. The academic journal is published once a week. As a result, after only one morning, hundreds of copies were sold out.
Simultaneously. Joe Sick is more confident in this issue.
At this time, Jax had come to the society, he saw Joe-unfortunately, and also saw other people in the society. He wanted to ask questions about this issue of the Wansheng research paper. The people in the society are only students. Seeing a reporter was also very excited, so they scrambled to explain the problem.
In the face of a group of students, Jax quickly got the answer he wanted-the original content of this issue, Wansheng actively delivered the courier, and then they left half of the printing space to Wansheng.
If you change to "London Daily", it will probably be more cautious. After all, they are doing news reports, not specialized academic magazines ... but the end result will be the same? After all, compared to the fame of Wan Sheng, the "London Daily" is nothing at all, and they are worth an additional issue for this.
"What a lucky boy!" Jax sighed.
Think of Wansheng itself as a University of London background, taking care of his alma mater, but it's actually not a big deal.
...
Finally, Joe Sick decided to print another 3,000 copies.
This is a somewhat difficult decision. Printing a few thousand copies also means that their costs will increase a lot. If they can't sell thousands of copies, they will have no profit in this periodical.
Soon Joe-Sike would n’t have to worry about it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Some big media reporters came to the door and demanded remuneration to reprint what they reported.
This kind of thing has happened before. When there are some attractive reports in academic journals, there will be professional media who want to reprint the content. The media will pay for some of the reprinting fees, but they are usually symbolic to dozens. , Hundreds of pounds, but as an additional income is also good.
It is different now.
When the on-site media reporter said it was '5,000 pounds', Joe Sick knew this. He took a sip of water to calm down and took a long breath to stabilize his mind. Then he started talking to the reporter. Negotiate the cost of reprinting.
When other media reporters came to the door, the "Metropolis" reporter agreed to the price of "Nine thousand pounds" reported by Joe Sick for the first time, and then all other reporters who came to request reprinting also referred to this price.
In one day, six media requested reprinting and paid for reprinting, which was a huge income for the society.
You should know that the sales of a journal are only about 10 shillings. Among them, the fixed-order academic journals are pitifully less profitable, and they are only about one or two shillings. It is only about 1,000 pounds, plus the normal operation of the academic journal, and the loss caused by the failure to sell it. The average benefit of each periodical is less than 500 pounds.
More than four months of earnings from school journals that can top 9,000 pounds!
Six media paid the fee, which also brought in a profit of 54,000 pounds, which is absolutely unthinkable for academic journals.
Joe Sick and the few people who edited the academic journals all smiled all day long. (To be continued.)
