Chapter 177 Reader's Urgency
When Jiang Yafei stepped into Jiang Weimin's renovated home again, the brand new decoration style instantly caught her eyes, making her, Jiang Yafei, exclaim in amazement.
The living room is furnished with stylish sofas and coffee tables, and the decorative paintings on the wall add an artistic atmosphere to the entire space.
These paintings are all works of modern masters purchased by Jiang Weimin.
Jiang Yafei walked slowly through each room, feeling the warm home that her brother Jiang Weimin had carefully created.
The soft bed in the bedroom seemed to be calling her, making her want to lie down on it and feel it.
In the bathroom, the brand new flush toilet and clean washbasin shocked Jiang Yafei.
She came to the window, gently opened the curtains, and the sunlight instantly poured in. The scenery outside the window was refreshing.
Jiang Yafei imagined the scene of living here and her heart was filled with envy.
After the house was renovated, Jiang Weimin thought about it carefully and decided to leave it for a few months before moving in.
After all, it is quite convenient to live in a rented place now, and it is indeed necessary to dispel the odor in the newly renovated house.
At the same time, the An family's old house had not yet started to be renovated, and Anjie had not had time to come over due to various things.
Time passed quietly, and it was April in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Weimin has already communicated with Song Wenqing about this Canton Fair and will not attend it anymore.
Jiang Weimin's painting team has become more and more in tune with each other after a period of running-in.
At this time, Jiang Weimin had completely completed the remaining two volumes of his father's war of resistance. So far, the work has a total of 10 volumes.
The Monkey King has also been drawn to the 5th volume and has been completed successfully.
During these four months, I basically maintained the progress of completing one book per month.
Moreover, as the team matured, Jiang Weimin no longer had to spend as much time and effort drawing by himself as he did at the beginning.
As for the royalties, the five people who followed Jiang Weimin at the beginning have now become formal employees and receive a fixed salary every month.
Qingdao Publishing House does not care about the salaries of other people.
In the beginning, after each painting was completed, Jiang Weimin would take out money from his own royalties and give each person a reward of 50 yuan.
After everyone became proficient, Jiang Weimin generously rewarded each person with 100 yuan from his own royalties.
The successful completion of these four works added another 1 yuan to Jiang Weimin's funds.
Qingdao Publishing House has spared no effort to meet the ever-growing business needs.
All idle printing equipment in Shandong was integrated.
However, even so, the current printing volume is still insufficient. The normal printing volume is 150 million copies per month, but the color printing volume is only 40 copies.
Such a large printing volume is far from enough to meet the needs of the ambitious Qingdao Publishing House.
The new foreign printing equipment has been successfully debugged after intensive testing.
This time, Qingdao Publishing House purchased a total of two advanced foreign printing equipment. These two equipment can print 100 million copies of color comics per month.
During the equipment debugging process, the domestic equipment manufacturing unit specially sent 4 professional technicians to assist in the debugging.
Qingdao Publishing House also took this opportunity to arrange personnel to carefully study the advanced technology.
Afterwards, Qingdao Publishing House decisively placed an order for 6 devices with the company.
These include two color printing machines, two general printing machines and four other types of machines.
Now, Jiang Weimin's father's Anti-Japanese War series and Zhang Tianshui's Police Dog Attack series each have a staggering printing demand of 200 million copies.
Together with the comic strips submitted by other painters to Qingdao Publishing House, the number of copies ranged from 10 to 50.
Sometimes, we receive nearly 100 million manuscripts per month.
For those works that can be submitted to Qingdao Publishing House, Qingdao Publishing House will consider giving priority to publication to encourage more outstanding painters and works to emerge.
The third volume of The Monkey King has been released overseas. These three volumes alone have earned more than 800 million in foreign exchange for our country, which is a remarkable achievement.
However, what is troubling is that the printing capacity of existing equipment is totally insufficient.
At present, Qingdao Publishing House still has three volumes of My Father’s War of Resistance and five volumes of The Monkey King that have not been released in the country.
Qingdao Publishing House now has neither a shortage of money nor a shortage of excellent works, and can be said to be very strong.
Therefore, Qingdao Publishing House is not in a hurry to release the book. However, readers are in a different situation and are extremely anxious.
Every day, in every city, a large number of people are asking if there is the latest edition of the Special Forces series and Police Dog Attack series published by Qingdao Publishing House.
These readers are full of expectations, eager to see their favorite works as soon as possible. They keep asking and looking forward to it. Their eagerness is like a burning flame, warm and persistent.
Li Xiangyang has an immense love for his father's comic book series "The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression" and "Police Dog Attack", and is a loyal reader of both series.
His obsession with these comic strips made him go to Xinhua Bookstore every few days.
His father is a dedicated police officer, perhaps because of his father's profession.
Every time Police Dog Strike publishes a new picture album, he is always the first to find the hidden answers in it, which makes him quite famous in the small circle of comic book lovers.
That day, Li Xiangyang came to Xinhua Bookstore again with great expectations.
Li Xiangyang walked briskly into the bookstore with an anxious look on his face. He came to the counter and asked, "Auntie, do you have the latest comic books published by Qingdao Publishing House today?"
The bookstore employee was busy sorting books. When he heard Li Xiangyang's question, he answered without even looking up: "No, no, don't ask. If there are any new comic books, we will write them on the blackboard outside!"
Li Xiangyang felt a sense of loss, but he continued to ask unwillingly: "Auntie, do you know when we can arrive?"
The bookstore employee was a little annoyed by the question and said impatiently: "I don't know, I don't know!"
Li Xiangyang sighed helplessly, and walked out disappointedly, muttering softly: "Alas! Auntie is getting more and more irritable, and it's hard to communicate with her!"
Just as Li Xiangyang walked to the door of the bookstore with frustration, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Classmate, are you here to buy the latest comic book published by Qingdao Publishing House?"
He looked back and realized that he was from the same school as Li Xiangyang, but he was not familiar with him.
Chang Guorong was also keen on comic strips and knew Li Xiangyang.
Because in the past, every time the newest comic strip of "Police Dog Attack" was released, Li Xiangyang was the first to find the hidden answers, so many people in the school knew Li Xiangyang.
Li Xiangyang nodded and replied, "Yes, but Qingdao Publishing House only publishes one comic book every three or four months.
You have to ask in advance, otherwise you won’t be able to grab it when the time comes.”
"I know a place where you can buy the latest comic books published in Qingdao, and there is also the latest "The Monkey King" published by Qingdao Publishing House." Chang Guorong said mysteriously.
