Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 74 So, what did you play?
Lu Yu was too lazy to play games with him, so he called him directly.

"Speak the good news first." Lu Yu said straight to the point.

On the other end of the phone, Snoopy coughed lightly and replied, "The good news is that our magazine, the [-] copies of the first issue, are all sold out."

sold out?
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the sales to be so good.

It seems that the "shock club" is also new to Americans of this age.

"The channels are all ready-made. "Sport" magazine had its own sales channels before. We only need to be responsible for the distribution of the goods. Excluding the cost, we earned more than 1 yuan from this batch of magazines."

Snoopy's voice was full of excitement, and he didn't expect to make so much money all at once.

"Thanks to Jessica this time, she helped us get the content for two days and two nights. I also have to thank Fender. Fender told the supplier that you can make a batch for us and then settle the payment."

Lu Yu frowned slightly, Fender would be so kind to ask the supplier to help with the payment, which was a bit unexpected.

"How much do you sell for a magazine?"

"Two dollars."

"Two dollars, that's a little over fifty cents a magazine's profit..."

Lu Yu pondered for a while, and said to Snoopy: "Fender's supplier, use it at most twice. During this time, you should familiarize yourself with the supply channel. I don't care what method you use. Let's talk about two more times. The cost is 40% lower than that of Fender's suppliers, and then the sales volume does not need to be tested with [-] copies this time. The next issue will be directly spread to [-] copies, and the sales channels must be expanded by themselves, as far as possible. All the surrounding states that Spokane can cover, understand?"

"what?"

Snoopy was stunned, and then realized that he might have been deceived by Fender: "Sheet, I knew he was not so kind."

In fact, Fender doesn't call him a lie. There must be Fender's account from the previous supplier. It is impossible to transfer the arrears to Lu Yu, but Fender does not want to pay it back, so he uses such a way to pay off your own account.

Magazines are content output products. If the gross profit margin is only [-] points, it is definitely impossible.

But don't look at the high gross profit margin, really want to make money depends on sales.

In addition to profit, it is also necessary to control expenses.

The main one is the operating cost. When the sales volume is low, the operating cost may be lower. When the sales volume increases, various operating expenses will be a lot of money.

After all these are aside, whether a magazine can sell well depends on the content.

"Is the content of the next issue ready?" Lu Yu asked.

Snoopy replied: "It's done. At present, basketball is still dominated by March Madness. For other sports, such as baseball, tennis, and rugby, I also 'learned' from other magazines and newspapers according to your requirements, but The timeliness may be a little worse.”

"It doesn't matter if the timeliness is worse. The timeliness of magazines is not as good as that of newspapers. It's enough to write an attractive title. By the way, and about the sports website that I told you last time, the profit this time is in addition to a part of the payment to the supplier. , and the rest are taken out and put into the website.”

Lu Yu didn't expect "Sport" to make money for him for the time being.

After all, the money owed to Steve Fender has been backed by Anta's endorsement. What he has to do now is to deploy the sports media industry.

Sooner or later, print media like magazines will withdraw from the stage of history.

Not to mention Li Gui like "Sport", even Li Kui like "Sports Illustrated" can't avoid the wheel of the times.

So what Lu Yu has to do is to use the first pot of gold earned from "Sport" to deploy a sports network platform before the wheels of the times roll over.

The most important thing is to hold the traffic on the Internet in your own hands.

Like some NBA historical rankings, it is ranked once a month, but it is really not enough to be ranked once a week. As long as it can attract traffic, he can use any vulgar tricks.

What's more, didn't the websites of the bleachers after this kind of thing also start with this?
The construction time of the bleachers is much later than that of other sites such as espn or slam. Why the bleachers can reach the ranks of mainstream media in just a few years, mainly depends on the attention of people, sports rankings big and small, and the open air ranks the most. , a large row for three days, a small row for five days, anyway, bragging without paying taxes.

Lu Yu's current website is only seven or eight years earlier than the bleachers.

"You just said good news and bad news. After the good news is finished, what is the bad news?"

Although Lu Yu didn't want to know the bad news.

But Snoopy is now in charge of his own media business, and he has to take it seriously.

Snoopy thought for a while before saying, "The bad news is that we will soon have no content editing, Jessica only promised to help us with the first few issues, and once the recruited staff arrives, she will no longer help. already."

Lu Yu felt a little headache.

It seems that Jessica is still angry.

Snoopy analyzed Lu Yu, his prospective girlfriend Lilian told him that Jessica had already planned to accept Lu Yu, and wanted to try to fall in love with Lu Yu, but she saw Lu Yu hanging out on KTV, and now she was very upset disappointment.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Lilian didn't blame you?"

"I told Lillian that you were all alone." Snoopy replied solemnly.

Lu Yu: "..."

Your motherfucking talent.

"Forget it, you don't need to worry about Jessica, I'll take care of it."

Lu Yu hung up the phone and stood in front of the window looking at the lights in the distance. He and Jessica had been in a cold war for a long time since the last Michigan game. Lu Yu had called a few times, but nothing. All exceptions are hung up.

But from Jessica's willingness to help the magazine, it also indirectly shows that at least Jessica has a tendency to forgive herself.

"No matter what, I still have to say it clearly, at least not as boyfriend and girlfriend, but also as ordinary friends."

In fact, Lu Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

Just talking about business, nothing to do.

After a while, he came to Mark Foyo's room: "Coach, my phone is out of battery, can I borrow your phone? I'll call my dad."

"Okay, the phone is on the table, you can take it."

Mark Foew is still working on his next game for the Connecticut Huskies.

Lu Yu picked up the mobile phone on the table, went back to his room, and called Jessica.

The phone beeped twice and got through.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Jessica's sweet voice came from the phone, Lu Yu could imagine that she must be sleepy in the bed at the moment, but she thought that you had to put on pajamas and pretend to be full of energy when you received a call from your uncle. look.

After all, she could help herself stay up all night.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "I'm not Coach Fuyou, I just borrowed his mobile phone to call you."

As soon as Jessica heard Lu Yu's voice, she knew what was going on. Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Lu Yu hurriedly say: "Don't hang up, even if you are angry, you must give people a chance to explain. , before the prisoner is executed, there is still a court trial before he is sentenced."

"When you touched someone's girl, why didn't you expect to be sentenced?"

Jessica's voice was cold.

"You saw me touch it?"

"Lillian said."

"Lillian saw it?"

"Lillian didn't see it, but..."

"But Snoopy said so, right?"

Lu Yu didn't give Jessica a chance to say it, and continued: "Otherwise, how could Snoopy explain to Lillian, did he tell Lillian that I touched the girl on KTV, but Lu Yu didn't touch it, it's all me. Do you think it's possible for someone to touch it?"

"Anyway, you men don't have a good thing."

When Lu Yu heard this, he knew that Jessica was actually not that big in her heart.

In fact, I didn't have much anger at first, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed up for two nights for Lu Yu to get magazines, but the arrogant little temper couldn't be overcome, waiting for Lu Yu to apologize.

"I heard Snoopy say you stayed up for two nights, it's hard work for you."

Lu Yu cared about Jessica first, her temper is a stubborn donkey, she can't be tough, she has to be soft.

From a work perspective, Jessica is actually quite capable.

Lu Yu hoped that she would continue to do it.

Hearing Lu Yu's concern, Jessica's grievances burst out all of a sudden, and she could faintly sob on the phone.

"Don't cry."

Lu Yu struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "Actually, after negotiating the contract with Fender, the owner of the "Sport" magazine copyright company that day, I plan to go back, but Snoopy said that he promised to invite Mr. Fender to go out to relax... "

No way, you are the first person.

"You mean, Snoopy proposed to go to KTV?"

Jessica stopped crying and asked suspiciously.

Lu Yu said calmly: "Yes, I have been busy playing games. During this period of time, the business communication with Fender has always been talking about Snoopy. I only found out after I went there, but it was my fault. I thought about it at the time. Take down their Spokane office and agree to Snoopy's advice."

Having said that, Jessica believed Lu Yu.

Because during this time, she was helping Lu Yu get the magazine content at the Spokane branch where she was an intern before, and Snoopy also mentioned that this office was temporarily lent to them by Fender.

However, she was still a little worried, so she asked:
"So, what are you guys doing in there?"
