Chapter Thirty-Seven: People with Dreams and Being Targeted
"What we have to do is to make those anime ACG works that seem to have nothing to do with art, and they will definitely become works of art in the future, and they will be worth a lot of money!" Sun Yi said to Zhang Tong.
Zhang Tong smiled: "This is what you call investing in plastic villain projects?
"Actually, it's very practical, don't you know that Boss Zhang plays with toys?" Sun Yi asked seriously.
"Well, when I was a kid, I played Transformers. That was a long time ago." Zhang Tong said a long time ago, it was really a long time ago, and according to the time of the earth, it was more than 20 years ago.
"But it's piracy." Sun Yi then asked.
"I don't know, but I guess it's pirated." Zhang Tong thought of the Transformers of his childhood for more than ten yuan, it should be pirated.
And Sun Yi said very seriously: "In fact, many people have a lot of concerns about investing in figures and toys as financial products, and feel that they are not stable.
"Actually, let's change a way of thinking, such as investing in jadeite or mahogany furniture.It seems to be a kind of investment to preserve value, but this is also risky, they will fluctuate in a period of time, and the price will also rise and fall. Sun Yi asked another question.
Zhang Tong continued to shake his head, he really hadn't heard of these things Sun Yi said.
"In fact, Long Momo is a manufacturer that makes pirated [gunpla] models, and the models they produce are not authorized by the official Bandai, but they still have a lot of audiences and supporters in China.
Sun Yi borrowed Chubby Ding's netbook and checked some information for Zhang Tong to show him: "Boss, it is better to take a look at the sales price of their posthumous work [Avalanche Energy Angel] since he went out of business.
"There is also a 1:72 scale Strike Metal Gunpla produced by the domestic manufacturer Moshow, which was originally released for only 700, and in just two years, its price has soared to more than 1,000. Sun Yi took out a plan from his bag.
"I'm really very optimistic about the investment in anime-related products.It's just that the price of pirated goods has risen so much, so what about the selected copyright products? For example, Takayuki Takeya designed the Fengshen Yu Thor action toy for Yamaguchi Haido, and the launch price is only about 200.But after the stock is out, the price has risen, and even the price of second-hand products of average quality bought in Toyo second-hand stores has risen to 600.
Hearing Sun Yi's words, Zhang Tong grasped a key point: "Yes, you have talked about the important place, these toys and figurines or something, no matter how you say it, they are all industrialized large-scale products.
Sun Yi listened to Zhang Tong's question very seriously, and then nodded very seriously: "That's right! I call this the cyclical fluctuation of the market. For example, Bandai has produced Ka Niu and Ka Sazabi busts before, because of the out-of-stock reasons, the price has been infinitely higher for many years, and it has not been until the price of this year's reprint has fallen.
Sun Yi took out a table: "In fact, the cyclical fluctuations of animation peripheral products can be avoided.This is the same as buying stocks.My initial plan is to make a profit by buying and selling high-quality figurines on the market.Popular characters or extremely high-quality figurines are hoarded,This is the first step of the foundation to speculate on quick money.It's like buying stocks and buying funds.It's just like buying stocks and buying funds.It's just like buying physical products."
Sun Yi pointed to the rising curve and various statistics and data he made and said to Zhang Tong: "Seriously, Boss Zhang, I'm not a liar, I have a long-term plan, what I just said is just the first step, and it is also the most difficult initial stage, but as long as the original accumulation is completed."
"Then the second step is to buy some original paintings of the master after the accumulated cost, or the prototype of the master's figure, for example, buy some original manuscripts of Master Miyazaki.
"Buy the works of these masters, and then promote their fame through art hype, label them with all kinds of halo labels, mythologize them, and finally their posthumous works will be sold for a high price!" Sun Yi's eyes were as fierce as a wolf.
"And the third step is for us to promote cartoonists ourselves! My plan is to reach this step in 20 years. Artistize the comic industry of popular aesthetics, so that everyone understands that whether it is comics or figures, in addition to bringing people the enjoyment of beauty, it can also become an investment commodity. At this time, I can use the star-making plan to make new cartoonists popular one by one, and completely break the rules and styles of the traditional art market!" Sun Yi stretched out a hand to Zhang Tong and said, "Boss Zhang, how about it? Join us! Now is the best opportunity for you to join, you will become my venture partner."
Zhang Tong looked at Sun Yi with one hand on his chin, and then he turned his head sideways to look in Jiang Hua's direction and asked, "Officer Jiang, what do you think?"
Jiang Hua, who had been reading the information just now, turned off his mobile phone, then stood up and walked to Sun Yi's side.
Jiang Hua glanced at Sun Yi and said: "Sun Yi, a native of Huaihai City, is a real estate salesman, but many people have reported to the police that you are suspected of false fraud.
Jiang Hua sat next to Zhang Tong, glanced at Zhang Tong, and then at Sun Yi and said: "I think what you said is a little unrealistic.
Sun Yi didn't know who the woman who suddenly ran out was, but it should be a police officer, because Zhang Tong called her like this.Sun Yi had a look of annoyance, he looked at Zhang Tong angrily: "I originally thought I could find someone who understood my thoughts, but I didn't expect it to be an ordinary man!"
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Hua again: "Before Ma Yun didn't succeed, everyone thought that his ideals were ridiculous and unrealistic. Why does everyone think I'm a liar?! Or even call the police to arrest me now?!"
Zhang Tong looked at Sun Yi's angry appearance, and suddenly felt that this guy really didn't look like a liar.Zhang Tong stood up and said to Sun Yi very formally: "I'm rude.It's a great thing to have a dream."
Jiang Hua glanced at Zhang Tong in surprise, while Sun Yi put away all the materials he had prepared, turned his head angrily and left.
But that guy is obsessed with painting, and he doesn't care about what he can eat, so there shouldn't be any problem.
And after Sun Yi left, Jiang Hua didn't leave directly.It should be that Zhang Tong left her, after all, she came here, and she chatted for a while.
"Officer Jiang, have you dealt with that Wang Wu? Is there really an organization behind him? Is he really eyeing me? I'm worried about a little trouble lately, and I may always trouble you. I'm really embarrassed." What Zhang Tong said is the same as the truth.
Jiang Hua waved his hand: "It is our duty to protect the citizens."
Zhang Tong walked up the ladder: "It's really a blessing, Officer Jiang, I want you to protect me personally. That's what, I just ordered dinner, if you want to eat something, just say, if you don't have time to eat here, I'll send you to the station in a while."
Jiang Hua sighed in his heart: It would be great if all the citizens supported their work like Boss Zhang Tong.
And while Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua were chatting about these topics, somewhere in Huaihai City, the teacher behind Wang Wu had indeed set his sights on Zhang Tong's shop.
