Chapter 31
"Have the monthly sales figures been tallied?" Director Li paced anxiously in the office.

Ever since the fourth issue of "The Great Song" was released in "Wuxia", Li Ang has been waiting for the total monthly sales this month, because it has been almost a month since the serialization of "The Great Song" in "Wuxia", and the total monthly sales will soon be released.

Li Ang is under tremendous pressure.

On the one hand, we are facing the closure of the magazine. Once the Guangzhou branch is closed, many employees of the magazine's Guangzhou branch will face layoffs.

On the other hand, after the magazine's sales had been declining for five consecutive years and there were piles of unsold magazines piled up in the warehouse until the monthly sales dropped to only 500,000, he withstood the pressure and once again decided to print a first print run of one million copies in two years.

If the magazine company still cannot sell its magazines and has a pile of inventory, then the magazine company may be closed even faster, and even its branches in Nanshi and Shanghai may be affected and go out of business faster.

Even Bao Huixin, who worked with him to bring the "Wuxia" magazine from its founding to its glory and then to its present day, couldn't help but admire Director Li's courage.

Not everyone has the courage to take such a desperate step after experiencing the decline of a magazine.

Once it fails, it will inevitably speed up the closure of the magazine.

Li Ang could not sleep day or night these days. On the one hand, it was due to the great pressure, and on the other hand, it was due to the excitement.

Years of experience told him that this was a great opportunity and he must seize it, but the market was unreasonable and the final outcome would be determined by sales volume.

From the first issue to the fourth issue, "Da Song" has been serialized in "Wuxia" for a full month. The first issue exceeded the first print of 500,000 in one week, and the second and third issues were reprinted, and the first print of the third and fourth issues directly exceeded one million copies.

The fourth issue has been on the market for a week now, and the specific sales volume will not be released until next month, but the total sales results of "Wuxia" magazine this month have come out.

"How much?" Li Ang was sitting in the office, his hair had already been messed up by him, but he didn't notice it at all.

The marketing staff didn't care about their director's image at all, and reported excitedly: "3.2 million copies."

As soon as this data came out, the entire "Wuxia" magazine erupted in cheers of joy.

Director Li, who is nearly fifty years old, kept waving his fists excitedly at the air: "YES! YES! YES!" Then his eyes turned red again.

How long has it been? How long has it been since Wuxia Magazine was first published that it has not achieved such sales?

How could the marketing staff not understand Director Li's excitement? He was excited too. This was the first time since the late 1980s that the monthly sales of their magazine had exceeded three million again.

Yes, even though they had declined before and their total monthly sales had dropped to 500,000, even in the middle and late stages, their magazine could still maintain monthly sales of 2 million.

However, the number of members has never exceeded three million since the 1990s.

The marketing staff couldn't stop smiling. "The fourth issue of the journal has only been on the market for a week, and the South City and Shanghai City branches have just started selling the products. The market feedback is not that fast. If the popularity continues at this rate, the total monthly sales next month is estimated to be no worse than this month."
