The Superhero Festival has begun!

Meng Lang was filming in China and didn't have time to go to Boston, but fortunately, PD has a live broadcast business and can watch it on the set.

The time is just right!

Egawa was seven o'clock in the morning, which happened to be seven o'clock in the evening local time in Boston. In the live broadcast screen, the opening ceremony of the Superhero Festival is being held.

Wang Kui, as the "special representative of President Meng", was the first to speak on stage, followed by the relevant person in charge of Kent and North American branches.

And then there's the show......

This year's Super Hero Festival has streamlined a lot of content, reducing it from a multi-IP festival to Kamen Rider X Ultraman X Super Sentai Carnival Night.

That's enough for that!

As a performance, the Superhero Festival is crammed into too many IP works in one go, resulting in a too bloated program list and the audience is too tired to watch.

Last year's Superhero Festival lasted longer than the Spring Festival Gala.

With such a long performance time, the audience's buttocks are numb, they have been to the toilet several times, and their stomachs are hungry, how can there be a good viewing experience?

Based on this consideration, PD has cut a lot of content this year. There are only three main IP series left, compressing the performance time to less than four hours.

It's much more comfortable that way!

Some people may say, what if you can't watch it for four hours?

Then you go play something else!

In order to satisfy some of the fanatical fans, 100 special machines were added to this year's Super Hero Festival carnival scene.

Some are very similar to crane machines!

But there are no dolls to catch in the machine, only figurines of various PD heroes.

That's the advice from the Neon Division!

In the neon figure market, there is a special type of "scenery" figure, which is awarded through a lottery or special event.

This kind of figure has rough workmanship and many flaws, and it is not as fine as ordinary figures. However, the advantage is that the quantity is large and cheap, and the painting cost is not high.

Meng Lang adopted this suggestion and included the scenery figure in the list of prizes for various activities, and debuted it at the Boston Superhero Festival.

Even though it's a prize, you can buy it.

The price of the scenery figure is much cheaper than that of ordinary figures. After all, the cost of workmanship is here, and no one wants it if it is too expensive to sell.

Meng Lang, who was bored and playing, didn't expect to make much money from this thing, suddenly received a call from Wang Kui.

"Sold out, really fake!"

Meng Lang was surprised, he didn't expect that the 100,000 PD hero figures would be sold out on the night of the Superhero Festival.

According to the average price of 100+ yuan, 10 million worth of figures were sold this night, which is comparable to the usual sales volume in a month.

"Because it's cheap!"

Wang Kui explained: "There are many fans who want to buy figurines, but the high price dissuades many people. The price of the scenery figure we did this time is too fragrant!"

Is it really that fragrant?

Consumers don't know, Meng Lang himself still doesn't know? This so-called Jingpin figure is nothing more than a "low-price, low-configuration" version, with low cost and poor quality, which is completely in line with this price.

"Cheap is enough!"

"At this price point, the average person doesn't demand quality. Hundreds of dollars, what kind of bicycle do you want?"

It seems to be this reason!

Taobao Jingdong has become a general trend, why can PDD still rise against the trend? Probably, cheapness is the main factor.

The popularity of the scenery figure surprised Meng Lang. Faced with various "out of stock" warnings, he had to adjust the factory's production plan to ensure that the production capacity could keep up.

Unfortunately, it takes time for capacity to ramp up.

When the PD production capacity could not meet the demand and the market was generally out of stock, the good brother Lebao came out to grab food.

Lebao has PD authorization to produce PD's "non-limited and non-commemorative edition" IP derivative peripherals. It just so happens that the scenery figure is also within the scope of authorization.

An interesting scene has appeared!

PD's own factory needs to adjust the production plan, and it is not possible to get more goods for the time being. Lebao took advantage of it and began to use the "PD Authorization" figure to impact the "PD self-produced" figure, and achieved great success.

Meng Zai's nose is crooked!

Although the "PD authorization" figure produced by Lebao needs to pay a part of the protection fee, Meng Zai can also make money.

But "self-produced and self-sold" money is more!

"As the saying goes, if you don't go to the house for three days, you won't be able to open the roof for three days!

Ma Teng got up and said: "Your Majesty, raising pigs for a thousand days to kill pigs for a while, Lebao is disloyal and unfilial, and he should be punished according to the law!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Then slaughter it......"

Meng Lang yawned and said, "Lebao's stock price has risen sharply, let's go and cool him down." Remember to tap and don't just kill you. ”

He also wants to buy it!

Although this godson is ignorant, he wants to overthrow his father Meng Tsai all day long. But his wife is very beautiful, and Meng Zai, who covets the beauty of the princess, how can she be willing to let her be martyred?

Ma Teng, who has great action, quickly attacked Lebao. First of all, he poured dirty water and slandered the quality of Lebao's products, which is substandard and has a certain toxicity, which can affect the development of children's minds.

Then the authorization of Lebao was lifted, further suppressing the stock price. Taking advantage of the fact that Lebao was pumping funds to save the stock price, it created a rumor that "Lebao is about to go bankrupt" to lure suppliers to collect debts.

The means are despicable, but they work.

Lebao, who was already struggling to survive, was suppressed by the PD sparing no effort, and soon could not hold up the application for negotiation.

The negotiation process is simple.

Lebao's senior management wanted to cash out and leave, PD was greedy for Lebao's body, and the two sides hit it off and reached a consensus directly.

As for the workers at the bottom?

Who cares what they think!

The deal went smoothly, with no third party coming in to stir up the situation, and Lebao had no opportunity to shop around, so it quickly compromised.

The century-old Lebao, a company that carries countless Americans' childhood memories, was finally sold to PD Group for $2 billion, becoming its only publicly traded company.

That's right, a public company!

Following the completion of the acquisition, PD Group received approximately 71.44% of the shares of 17 shareholders. As for the remaining retail outstanding shares, it is impossible to deal with them for the time being.

The privatization process of U.S. stocks is quite complicated, and Meng Tsai has no money, and half of the $2 billion is bank mortgages.

There's no way, repair the paradise!

From now on, "Lobo" will become one of the PD sub-brands, following the previous IP licensing scheme, and the products will focus on the European and American markets.

The company name is prefixed!

Lobo becomes PD—Lobo!

used to be a godson, and it is reasonable that the surname is not uniform. Now that the godson has become his own son, does it make sense not to have the surname Meng?

Of course, this is a witty statement.

Although PD acquired Lebao, because of the particularity of the listed company, the godson is still the godson, and the independence is very strong.

Before and after the acquisition, the only change is probably that Mr. Meng has become Mr. Meng!

After the reorganization of the management of the new Lebao, who became "Meng Bao", Meng Lang, as the new chairman, needed to appoint a reliable CEO to go to North America to preside over the overall situation.

At first, he circled Ma Teng.

But Ma Teng left, and the group's business collapsed in half. Meng Lang, who didn't want to cause trouble for himself, finally chose Du Fang, the most low-key in the "PD Trident".
