The Ancestors: From Gwen to Spider-Man

Chapter 153 Unscrupulous
Chapter 28

Practitioners in some industries, even before today, have been able to hear a little wind.

They all knew that the Elliot family had made another move.

The media oligarch in Gotham is already hungry and thirsty, with three axes hanging high above his head, and another unlucky guy is about to be beheaded.

And it's not difficult to guess who this unlucky guy is, except for the Marvel newspaper that has been in the limelight recently, there is no one worthy of the Elliott family's shot.

Admittedly, most of this is regrettable.

The comics of Marvel News are really good-looking, and many of them are fans of comics, but reality is reality,
In Gotham, no one can challenge the authority of the four major families.

Everyone is watching this day, watching another new star fall in front of the old monopoly power, feeling indifferent and regretful in their hearts.

Then, Elliott was crushed.

On the same day, Diana moved out the newspapers as usual, and asked the newsboys to distribute them.

Newsboys lamented not getting to see the next installment of Man of Steel, but were quickly drawn to Gotham's Spider-Man.

For the entertainment-poor kids of this day and age, they really don't have much to ask for, as long as there's enough fun to divert their attention, they're fine.

Compared with the high-ranking arms tycoon, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, who was born as a poor boy, made them empathize even more, and the effect was not bad at all.

At the same time, the newspaper did not forget to publish a message,
"The "Iron Man" hardcover booklet is on the shelves today. In addition to all the comics in issues 1-3, it also contains follow-up plots..."

"The quantity is limited, you can get a coupon when you buy this newspaper, and you can buy it preferentially, each person is limited to one..."

Immediately, a newsboy saw the news and asked, "Sister Diana, what are the hardcover albums and coupons?"

Diana had been prepared for a long time, and she took out the comic books and tickets with a smile.

The eyes of the newspaper boys all lit up the moment they saw the album.

On the top of the album is a cool cover of Iron Man, which has never been seen in newspapers.

Most importantly, whether it is the material of the paper or the exquisite and clear printing technology, the quality far exceeds the level of this era.

Although the printing methods of the previous newspapers also surpassed, but because of the carrier, they were not too prominent after all.

But in order to better carry the comics and make the effect more prominent, Peter directly improved the technology for decades, which resulted in the amazing effect of the finished product.

As for why it failed to directly reach the modern level, it is mainly due to the influence of the current overall technological level of mankind.

But it's more than enough.

Such a picture album, not to mention the content, is very valuable for collection just because of its quality.

As for coupons, they are just a means of hunger marketing, and some are anti-counterfeiting methods.

Anyway, under the sanctions of the Elliott family, no matter whether it is a newspaper or a picture book, it is impossible to publicize it on a large scale in the early stage.

Yes, Diana had been aware of the attack on Elliott's house.

In the past few days, she clearly felt the pressure from the Elliott family.

Most of the vendors who originally agreed to buy newspapers suddenly changed their minds and broke the contract in the past few days.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that something is wrong here.

Originally, she was very worried about this, not knowing what went wrong, and she was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Fortunately, during this period of time, she also learned a skill from Black Superman, throwing the pot away.

Since Hei Superman can throw a lot of miscellaneous and troublesome things to her, then she can also throw this kind of confusing and difficult problem to Hei Superman, right?

Hmm... Even after that, she paid a lot for it, and Diana couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, the pay is worth it.

Hei Superman explained the matter to her clearly, and at the same time, he also formulated these current strategies...

Thinking of this, Diana distributed the picture albums to the newsboys one by one, saying:

"When you sell newspapers on the street, remember to show these picture albums to the guests. Some of the picture albums have been sent to the property under the Greve family for sale."

In this way, even if the new issue of the weekly newspaper is only sold by a few vendors, shops, and newsboys in the surrounding neighborhoods, the popularity has not decreased but increased.

The hardcover comic book in the newsboy's hand really attracted enough attention, and even at the back, there were a lot of scalpers and book speculation.

As we all know, people are profit-seeking, once hooked with money, it's hard not to think about it.

As for Elliott, although they also hired people to imitate the comics, they invited the best painters.

But the level of technology accumulated by the industry in the past century is so easy to imitate, let alone this is just a clumsy product of rush work.

Although it will not cause sudden death, it is not lukewarm, and it is not far behind other comics of the current generation.

As for those copied newspapers, the pirated version is disgraceful, especially because there are no coupons now, and they are directly thrown into the trash by people.

Elliott's three-blade ax hit the hard head, not only failed to cut off a piece of meat, but was cut with a blade.

Elliot family.

Edward Elliott was listening with a gloomy face to the manager in charge reporting to him the situation of Marvel News this morning.

Lost, even though the specific data has not yet come out, but just judging from the situation of both sides today, Edward knows that the Elliott family lost completely in this battle.

He was like a lion in full bloom, staring at the steward with a dark gaze. He didn't ask until the other party started to tremble in fear of the power:

"This is what you promised me, you must complete the task?"

He picked up a newspaper, which was the manga that his family plagiarized and put on the shelves today, pointed at the poor drawing skills on it, and said angrily:

"Look! What are you drawing! Compared to Marvel comics, it's like shit!"

"Also, the same is true for the Marvel Weekly that I asked you to secretly copy. So far, few copies have been sold! That's how you do things!"

The steward was so frightened that he dared not speak even more, and lowered his head and trembled silently.

At this time, no matter what it is to explain or what, it is contradictory, and he will only suffer worse.

Fortunately, Edward's old housekeeper stood up and comforted him:
"Sir, the main problem this time is still with Marvel News. They used several methods to defuse our attack very accurately..."

He roughly talked about several strategies of Peter.

This made Edward finally stop being angry and calm down a little.

In fact, he also knew that this time it was mainly because the opponent's methods were too clever and completely predicted their actions, which led to today's opening being so passive.

Although he was angry, his heart was actually very calm.

The anger was for his subordinates to see. As a newspaper tycoon, it was impossible for him to be so impatient.

If you lose, you lose. The dignified Elliott family can't even afford to lose such a little thing.

only……

Edward picked up another document on the table,
This is the "Iron Man" comic book that just came out today.

He reached out and touched the album, feeling the feedback from the paper.

Opening the album, the printed picture and fonts on it are also extremely clear.

Too good, too good to be true.

If it is said that the printing technology of the newspaper just made him a little concerned, and it also made his workers speed up the cracking,
The picture album printing process in front of him already made him unable to help but feel greedy.

He has to acquire, own, grab the technology.

Only the Elliotts are worthy, and can display the value of this printing process.

He shunned the steward who was trembling at the side, then pressed the album on the table, and said bluntly to the old steward:
"I'm going to get it, by any means."
