If you have the time and energy, it is better to directly entrust it to Tokyo Publishing Sales and Neon Publishing Sales.

But to be honest, she didn't intend to agree to the other party's request.

The neon society is a humane society, and the cooperation between enterprises often pays more attention to humaneness, but she still has a lot of doubts about the strength of the Tsutaya Bookstore.

You must know that the book ordering business involves finance, logistics, publicity, etc., not to mention that the other party is far away in Tokyo, and communication is even more troublesome.

But just when she was about to decline, Hisada Kenichi took out an order booklet from his briefcase, opened it and put it on the table, "This is the book we are selling now, please take a look."

Seeing this, Daidai Masami was too embarrassed to say no directly, so she had to look down.

In this order book, besides "Snow Country", which has been out of stock recently, there are also "Train", "Devotion of Suspect X", "Memories of Murder", "Death of a Reasoner" and other best-selling books this year.

But what surprised her a little was that the order price of these books was 10 percent lower on average than the order book at the dealer.

Seeing this price, Masami Daidai hesitated.

10 percent may seem like a small amount, but as a large bookstore, Taisho Bookstore often orders many books at a time.

Accumulated over time, it is not a small number that can be ignored.

How about ordering a batch first.

But having said that, what form should the order payment and book delivery take?

Seeing this, Kuta Kenichi took out his trump card again.

He said with a smile: "If Dazheng Bookstore has any concerns, our agency can waive the upfront payment and adopt a monthly settlement method instead. The logistics cost is also borne by our agency."

Hearing these two preferential terms, Masami Daidai raised his head directly and looked at Kenichi Hisada with surprised eyes.

According to the rules of the publishing industry, within a certain period of time, books that cannot be sold can be returned to the publishing house. Therefore, the way of prepayment is also a kind of protection for the interests of the publishing house, so as to prevent the bookstore from purchasing too much.

But if the other party does not need to pay in advance and adopts monthly settlement, it can be said that Taisho Bookstore has passed all the operating risks to Tsutaya Bookstore, and it does not need to bear any risks!

But what she didn't know was that as the publishing industry became increasingly sluggish, more and more publishing houses would adopt similar forms in the future.

The approach of the Tsutaya Bookstore is just to let this "involution" come one step ahead of time.

Hisada Kenichi further persuaded: "Odai store manager, our publishing house plans to establish its own distribution system, so the source of goods from the distributors will decrease in the future, but you should know the market conditions for Mr. Akihara's works."

Masami Daidai was silent, she admitted that Kenichi Hisada was right.

Judging from the market in 93, Hiroto Akihara's reasoning series ranks at the forefront in the entire bookstore.

Although it is not as good as the sales of popular comics and romances, it has also increased the average sales of books in the literary district by 20 percentage points.

If you don’t buy the goods yourself and other bookstores buy them, there will undoubtedly be a group of customers lost to other bookstores.

"Hata-san, I understand. Please ask your company to provide 400 copies of "Snow Country" and 100 copies of other Akihara-sensei works."

Hearing this answer, Hisada Kenichi showed a satisfied smile.

As long as he can negotiate with a few more large bookstores, then he can use their banner to negotiate with small and medium bookstores.

Under the driving effect, other small and medium-sized bookstores will also order one after another!To avoid being thrown off by the big bookstores!

So, the Osaka market has almost been won!

[319.3 Chapter [-] Excited People]

The second floor of Tsutaya Bookstore.

In the large meeting room, all the employees sat in a state of distress and listened carefully to Sugihara Aisa's report on the effect of channel establishment.

Naturally, Hiroto Akihara was no exception, sitting in the front row, next to Sota Nishijima, the other employees also looked familiar.

Although Hiroto Akihara does not have any position within the publishing house, everyone knows that he is the true owner of the company.

Sugihara Aisa stood on the stage and said in a voice that everyone could hear.

"Now our second-hand bookstore chain has related directly-operated or franchised stores in major areas such as Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kinki, and Zhongguo, but Hokkaido, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okinawa, and other places are still accelerating their deployment.

It can be said that we have established a firm foothold in 43 of the 23 first-level administrative regions across the country.Among them, 3% of the bookstores have already started to make profits one after another. "

Hearing this result, everyone in the field showed excited expressions on their faces.

After all, this means that, in terms of storage channels, TSUTAYA BOOKS has begun to take its most critical step.

After Sugihara Aisa finished speaking, Hisada Kenichi, who had returned from the field, also stood up and walked in front of everyone.

"In the Osaka and Kyoto markets, we have established a direct sales model with about 6% of large bookstores, and some small and medium-sized independent bookstores have also begun to send orders one after another under the influence of large bookstores.

In addition, other regions have also achieved steady growth in orders due to continuous visits. "

After a pause, he continued: "Currently, even without relying on the two distributors, we have established direct cooperative relationships with almost 3500 bookstores."

Hearing these good news, Akihara Hiroto cheered up.

He originally thought that it would take a very long time to reach this step, after all, the two dealer giants have been monopolizing the entire market for more than half a century.

But I didn't expect that it took only a few months to establish a relationship with 3500 bookstores so easily.

This number is already equivalent to 9/1 of the total number of all bookstores in Neon!

However, he also knows that this is inseparable from the current shortage of "Snow Country" and the strategy of free ordering.

But no matter what, it has been considered a success!

If he was alone at home, he would probably open a bottle of red wine to celebrate right away!

Sota Nishijima didn't think too much, and laughed directly. As the president of Tsutaya Bookstore Publishing House, he was naturally happy to see the bookstore getting bigger and bigger.

And Aiko Asano and Maki Satake looked at each other, both showing expressions of relief.

During this time, because of the constant pressure from Jingfanshe and the two distributors, they were secretly worried about the future of the publishing house.

And the series of suggestions put forward by Hiroto Akihara were something they had never heard of before.

So after proving that this method can be successful, they finally let go of a big stone in their hearts.

Seeing that the superiors have expressed their views, the ordinary employees who are subordinates also showed happy expressions, and some even applauded each other.

In this era when the seniority system is still implemented, everything about them has already been deeply bound with the enterprise.

Not to mention the current economic downturn, if TSUTAYA Bookstore goes bankrupt, they may not be able to find their next job.

So they naturally felt the same about all the good news about the bookstore.

All in all, everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, Nishijima Sota directly announced at the hint of Hiroto Akihara that a celebration party would be held later to celebrate the current achievements.
