Chapter 134
TL: KSD
Baekhak Publishing has a ‘special thing’ that other publishers don’t have.
This is what made Baekhak Publishing the largest publisher in Korea.
This ‘special thing’ is their <offline bookstores scattered nationwide>.
Other publishers only make books, but Baekhak Publishing not only makes their own books but also sells them in their own stores.
Even other publishers have to supply their books to Baekhak Publishing’s stores, so who would dare to challenge Baekhak Publishing’s stronghold?
In fact, it’s clearly unfair competition, but since Baekhak Media Group, the parent company, controls the Korean press, no one dares to point fingers.
Anyhow, the reason Baekhak Publishing can dominate the publishing industry is not because of the ‘Publishing Business Division’ that makes books, but because of the ‘Book Distribution Division’ that manages bookstores…
Oddly enough, the captain of the Baekhak Publishing ship has always come from the ‘Publishing Business Division’. Even though the ‘Book Distribution Division’ makes much more money.
