Chapter 82
Chapter 82 Win or lose
Yang Piao is a young man who has just been working for a short time. He has loved cars since he was a child, and he likes the feeling of riding in a car.
Before he went to college, he thought about being a racing car. Unfortunately, in real life, he can’t do what he wants. In the end, he became a civil servant envied by his classmates.
The job is stable, the salary is good, and his parents have already prepared for him about the house. It can be said that his life is very stable.
But the more stable the day, the more restless Yang Piao’s heart, and the stronger the racing dream. But his job as a civil servant was hard-won, and he couldn’t just give it up.
There is no way to satisfy his dream of racing in reality, so he had to put his love in the comics,
So he started to look for the themes of racing comics a lot. Unfortunately, racing comics are relatively small, and there are no wonderful comics. Most of them just use racing gimmicks to sell rotten meat.
Yang Piao searched for a long time, only to find a comic book called “Quick Turn” that was a dozen years ago was not bad. But too little, he finished it in a few days.
, who fell into a manga desperation, began a lot of searching for racing manga.
And just in the past few days, he heard about Chen Ze and Zhang Jiyi. He knows both of them, but he is not a fan of comics himself, so he is not interested in their affairs at all.
The reason why he cares about this is that Chen Ze said that his new comic this time is a racing comic. Although he also felt that Chen Ze’s caricature drawing might not look good, but he couldn’t find a good manga lately anyway, and there was no loss in seeing it.
Thinking like this, on this Friday, the day when “Youth Manke” was released, Yang Piao went to a bookstore and wanted to read this cartoon by Chen Ze.
“Boss, is there “Youth Manke”?” Yang Piao shouted as soon as he entered the store.
“Yes.” The boss replied, and handed the magazine to him.
Although this magazine is a new magazine, it sells very well today, so the boss arranged it in the most conspicuous position.
Yang Piao took the magazine and turned it over. Although this magazine has not been in operation for a long time, Lin Lan knows the aesthetics of young people very well. The cover design is very simple. Yang Piao fell in love with this magazine at first sight.
“The cover is pretty good, but I don’t know how the content is?”
He whispered, opened the magazine, looked at the catalog, and turned to the page of Chen Ze’s initial D serialization.
“this is?”
In the picture on the first page, there is not a single character, only a panda-colored car running on the mountain road. Whenever you reach a corner, you will make an elegant turn, and the whole process will be completed in one go, which is very smooth.
Although it is only a static picture, Yang Piao can feel the power and speed from it, and even hear the sound of the car rubbing the ground when it is drifting around.
“Not bad! Boss, I bought this magazine.”
After just a few pictures, Yang Piao immediately judged that this was a racing comic above his level. Therefore, he also intends to try for a while.

“The first day’s data is out.” Lin Lan walked into a room and said in the new animation magazine.
“How much?” Chen Ze stood up and asked quickly when he heard Lin Lan’s words.
“Guess.” Lin Lan smiled, her tone very brisk.
Chen Ze heard Lin Lan’s words and saw that she was thinking about joking with herself, and knew that the sales this time must be pretty good: “I can’t guess, but I guess it must be pretty good.”
“There are three hundred thousand.” Lin Lan smiled. She was very satisfied with this result. As a young manga that has just been opened, it is already very good to have this sales volume. And Lin Lan knew that Chen Ze was all the credit for this.
Without this new comic book by Chen Zekai, the sales of “Youth Manke” would never have been so high.
“Three hundred thousand!”
Chen Ze muttered to himself, 300,000 is indeed a very good number. Especially for such a young magazine that has just opened, it can sell 300,000 copies a day, which means that it is very likely to break 1 million copies a week.
But this “Initial D” was used by Chen Ze to surpass Zhang Jiyi’s “Quick Turn”. Chen Ze once checked the information. When Zhang Jiyi serialized this “Quick Turn”, it was the first Weekly sales amounted to 980,000.
And now it looks like it seems to be not far from his figure. In this case, wouldn’t the cartoon that I worked so hard have become a joke?
“What’s the matter Chen Ze, I don’t think you are too happy?”
Lin Lan was still happy, and suddenly saw the sad expression on Chen Ze’s face, and asked.
“Nothing?” Chen Ze shook his head, he did not say what he was worried about.
Even if it’s just a tie with Zhang Jiyi this time, it’s a big deal that I will choose another new comic. But I am a world dealing with Zhang Jiyi alone. No matter how awesome he is, I can always find a comic. Come to surpass him.
After thinking about it this way, Chen Ze let out a sigh of relief, and stopped worrying about himself.
The data for the first week came out, and as expected by Chen Ze, it was only 1.02 million, only 40,000 more than Zhang Jiyi that year, a negligible number.
But the next thing is far beyond Chen Ze’s expectation.

“Boss, has “Youth Manke” arrived yet?”
It is still the same bookstore and at the same time, Yang Piao asked the boss again.
Recently, he has been chasing “Initial D”, even to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.
The plot of “Initial D” has become more and more exciting recently. In it, Takumi just defeated Gao Qijie’s Mazda EfiniRX-7 with an old car like the AE86. The beautiful inertia and elegance, as well as the miraculous ditch running method, are really true. So handsome.
After reading it, Yang Piao wanted to have an AE86, which became the legend of Tyumen Mountain.
However, it seems that the car model and Tyumen Mountain in it were made up by Chen Ze himself. Yang Piao said a thousand times, but there is no news about the two.
This makes Yang Piao quite regretful. He originally planned to buy one in the future and go to the Tyumen Mountains to feel it.
“You are so lucky there is one last copy left.”
The bookstore owner listened to Yang Piao’s words, bent down and looked for it on the shelf for a long time, finally found one and handed him to Yang Piao.
“Boss, is this magazine hot recently?”
Yang Piao asked, he was almost out of stock several times in this period of time. It seemed that it was a special fire recently.
“It’s selling well.” The boss nodded and said excitedly: “Especially recently, it has been fine at the beginning, and the purchases are just average, but since recently, more and more people want to buy this magazine. Listen to them. , It seems to be watching a racing cartoon called “Initial D”.
Although the boss is not a fan of comics, he doesn’t understand what this racing comic is actually drawing. But he only needs to know that the “Youth Magazine” has become more popular recently, and his income has increased a lot, that’s enough.
Yang Piao’s eyes lit up when he heard what the boss said. It seems that I have a good vision, and I actually found a hot cartoon.
Yang Piao thought of it happily when he heard the comics praised by others. Although I am not the author, I feel comfortable in my heart.
“Initial D!” Yang Piao lowered his head and looked at the magazine in his hand, turning to the page of Chen Ze’s cartoon, “This is the best racing cartoon I have ever seen.”
Yang Piao thought.
