Chapter 163 Order Exposure
After the Canton Fair officially opened, Feng Nan, President of Qingdao Publishing House, took the signed contract to the Qingdao trading delegation to report and complete the registration of the contract.
Feng Nan's mood at this moment was different from when he first learned that Jiang Weimin had negotiated a foreign exchange order of more than 90 US dollars.
He was so excited that he couldn't sleep well that night. The excitement and joy in his heart were beyond words.
This huge foreign exchange order is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough for Qingdao Publishing House.
Feng Nan also understood that Jiang Weimin wanted to register after the project started.
When Feng Nan found the leaders of the Qingdao trading delegation to report, the leaders of the Qingdao trading delegation were also very happy.
The leader of the trading delegation had a gratified smile on his face and his eyes were full of appreciation.
Because Qingdao has another major foreign exchange earning product after printing and dyeing and beer, this is a matter of pride for the whole of Qingdao.
Although Feng Nan is already very low-key, he tries not to show off and completes his tasks silently.
However, the news was soon known to everyone. After all, good news like this always spreads fast.
Afterwards, Feng Nan was taken to a meeting room by people from several publishing houses.
These people's faces were full of curiosity and envy. They couldn't wait to ask Feng Nan about his successful experience and wanted to know how Qingdao Publishing House obtained such a large foreign exchange order.
Feng Nan was surrounded by the crowd, feeling a bit helpless but also proud.
This success is not only a glory for Qingdao Publishing House, but also sets an example for the entire industry.
"President Feng, how did you manage to get such a big order? Tell us!" everyone asked eagerly, their eyes full of anticipation and curiosity.
"Yes, tell us quickly!" others echoed.
Feng Nan motioned for everyone to be quiet with both hands, and then slowly said: "This has to start with Comrade Jiang Weimin's latest color comic strip.
This comic strip was specially drawn by Jiang Weimin based on the preferences of foreigners.
The purpose is to earn foreign exchange, and this is also a bold attempt by Comrade Jiang Weimin. "
“What do foreigners like?”
Feng Nan nodded and continued, "We also collected comic strips from foreigners from many sources.
Then Comrade Jiang Weimin made a careful analysis and understanding. He spent a lot of time and energy studying the preferences and aesthetic characteristics of foreigners.
Then, based on the results of the analysis, this comic strip was created.
Unexpectedly, it was well received by foreigners, and 35 copies were ordered immediately.”
“Only 35 copies sold for over $90?
Our publishing house sells more than 30 copies of a comic book at random, but we only make less than 2 yuan." The person from Jiangsu Publishing House said in surprise, with an incredible look on his face.
"Yes! We set the price of each book relatively high, 2.5 US dollars per book." Feng Nan replied calmly.
"Lao Feng, your book sells for 2.5 dollars, and we only sell for 0.1 dollars. The difference is too big!" The person from Tianjin Publishing House couldn't help but say, his tone full of envy and jealousy.
"I can really explain this to you!" Feng Nan said with a smile.
"Then speak quickly!" Everyone stared at Feng Nan, expecting her next words.
“First, our subjects are specially selected based on foreigners’ preferences.
We have conducted in-depth research on the cultural interests and aesthetic tendencies of foreigners, and have carefully screened and determined the themes that will most appeal to them.
Second, our comic strips are in color and are printed on the best paper.
We have strictly controlled the texture and clarity of the paper, striving to bring the best visual experience to readers.
Moreover, the size of the comic strips is the same as what foreigners are used to, taking their reading habits and comfort into full consideration.
Finally, Comrade Jiang Weimin’s painting style makes the fighting scenes in the comic strips even more exciting.
Jiang Weimin uses his unique painting style to depict every fight in a gripping way, making the readers feel as if they are personally on the scene.
Moreover, ordinary comic books are also 0.1 USD per copy, so our high-end comic books targeting the foreign exchange market are naturally more expensive.”
As he spoke, Feng Nan handed the comic book of "The Monkey King" to everyone to circulate.
Everyone took the comic book and started flipping through it. But they were just management staff at the publishing house and didn't know much about the drawing style and subject matter.
They can only feel the uniqueness of this comic book from the exquisiteness of the pictures and the overall texture, but they have only a vague understanding of the professional techniques and creative concepts behind it.
Only President Zhang of Shanghai Publishing House knows something about it, because Jiang Weimin talked about this knowledge when he went there last time.
Because of Gu Bingxin, although President Zhang had some affection and admiration for Jiang Weimin,
Shanghai Publishing House has published a large number of comic strips in the past 20 years, and has a wide influence and profound heritage in China.
However, they ignored the needs of the foreign market and did not know that foreigners also liked Chinese comics.
If they had known earlier, Shanghai Publishing House would have been able to earn foreign exchange long ago, and they wouldn't have to wait until Qingdao Publishing House took the lead. Thinking of this, President Zhang couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Some people are thinking about how to learn from the experience of Qingdao Publishing House to improve the competitiveness of their own publishing houses;
Some people are sighing at the good fortune of Qingdao Publishing House in finding a talent like Jiang Weimin;
Then everyone returned to the exhibition hall with their own thoughts.
At this time, the comic book exhibition area was bustling with people.
Many people were deeply attracted by the colorful and unique posters in the comic book exhibition area.
Looking from a distance, if you didn’t know the scene, you would think you were attending a grand art exhibition.
People gathered from all directions and stopped in front of the posters, their eyes full of curiosity and amazement.
Many people gathered in front of the poster of the Monkey King drawn by Jiang Weimin, excitedly posing for photos.
On that huge poster, the Monkey King is majestic, holding the golden cudgel, and his eyes reveal endless dominance and tyranny.
The golden armor sparkles in the sun, and the red cloak dances in the wind, as if it can jump out of the poster at any time.
Jiang Weimin stood aside, quietly watching the foreigners who were happily taking pictures around the poster, but a trace of regret welled up in his heart.
Jiang Weimin felt that his poster should be bigger, preferably life-size.
In this way, when people take photos with the poster, they can more truly feel the domineering and violent aura of the Monkey King.
Although the current poster size is not small, it still seems a little insufficient compared to the real person.
Watching those foreigners trying to find the best angle to take photos in front of the poster, but still unable to fully show the majestic aura of the Monkey King,
Jiang Weimin couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He secretly decided in his heart that he must create a more shocking poster next time.
