These words naturally reached Xia Dahai's ears, which made Xia Dahai feel bad for a while, and finally simply couldn't see it, and he didn't even go back to his hometown, at most he had contact with some relatives who did his duty.

But now that Xia Yu is ready to let go and help his uncle, there are other relatives on his mother's side who are far away, and it is not easy to refuse if he asks to come to the door.

Xu Zhong, a relative on his father's side, has only a small number of snobbish and white-eyed wolves, and there are still many relatives who are honest and responsible, and it is not easy to refuse if they ask for it in the future, after all, a precedent has been set.

decided to arrange work for his cousin and uncle, and Xia Yu pondered how to arrange it.

He does not want to arrange his relatives into his core company, which will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and it is also easy to breed corruption problems and affect the management and development of the company.

In the previous life, how many grassroots rising tycoons stuffed their relatives and friends into the company, and how many ended up well?

Bloody incidents such as fighting for power and profit, corruption, doves occupying magpies' nests, and anti-customer dominance, Xia Yu has seen many of them from the Internet.

So it is impossible for him to be confused, arrange his relatives into his core company, and control the power.

Unless it's something that doesn't matter, and even if something goes wrong, it won't affect him.

Suddenly, Xia Yu thought of the toy factory that his uncle said, and he asked, "Uncle, what is the situation of that toy factory?"

Chen Liang didn't know why Xia Yu asked this, he thought about it and said: "This toy factory is called Minghong Toy Factory, mainly making plush toys and shaping toys, there are 158 workers, just in the Kowloon Industrial Park, the original development is also good, but after the son of the old factory director came, he said that he received a big order from the United States, and took out a loan to replace the machine to expand production. ”

Xia Yu's heart moved, thinking of sending someone to investigate whether this toy factory has acquisition value, if so, he will buy it, it just so happens that he needs a toy factory to produce comic peripheral products.

And after the acquisition, it will definitely be expanded, and when the time comes, you can also recruit workers from your hometown, which is better than your relatives fishing for a living.

Moreover, my uncle and cousin also did this job, so they continued to do it, and the province was not suitable for a new job.

At the same time, this is also good for Xia Yu, after all, it is just a toy factory, at the bottom of the industrial chain, even if something happens in the future because of too many relatives, it will not have any impact on him.

Thinking about it this way, buying a toy factory and arranging for relatives to work, and treating relatives on both sides of his father and mother equally, no one can have an opinion, which is a complementary effect on his career, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu smiled, looked at his uncle's family, and nodded: "Uncle, I will definitely help with this matter, you just wait for my news, at most a week, you and your cousin's work will be settled." ”

As Xia Yu's words fell, whether it was his uncle's family, or Xia Dahai and Chen Mei's wife, they all smiled.

"Ayu, don't be in a hurry, you look at the arrangement, it doesn't have to be within a week, your affairs are important, you are busy with your affairs first. ”

Although Chen Liang was very happy because Xia Yu agreed to help, he also knew that Xia Yu must have a lot of things, so he hurriedly expressed his attitude so that Xia Yu did not have to worry.

Now that Xia Yu has said it, this kind of thing can naturally be done, and their hearts can be put down, and they don't care if it's a week or half a month.

Xia Yu smiled and didn't continue to talk about it, he just decided in his heart, there was no need to talk about it in such detail.

After that, Xia Yu chatted with his uncle's family about other things.

In the evening, my uncle's family also stayed at Xia Yu's house and left early the next morning.

And Xia Yu didn't stay at home for long, and took the car to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.

The results of the second issue of "Bosom Friend" comic magazine have come out, and today is the first day of sales of the third issue of "Bosom Friend".

......

"Tengdong, are last week's sales statistics out?"

After finding Ma Tengdong, Xia Yu went straight to the topic.

"Boss, it's been counted, the total sales of the second issue of "Bosom Friend" is 630,000 copies, and the detailed table is here. ”

Ma Tengdong said as he took out the statistical table that had been prepared long ago from the drawer and handed it to Xia Yu, who took it and looked at it.

A total of 160,000 copies were sold in Hong Kong and Macao, 100,000 copies in Taiwan Province, and 150,000 copies in Southeast Asian countries, so the total number of copies in Chinese was 410,000.

On the island side, the sales volume is 220,000 copies, compared with the 400,000 copies that were given away for free before, and the reader retention rate has reached 55%.

The retention rate in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is 39%.

The lowest is in Southeast Asian countries, with a retention rate of only 20%!

After thinking about it, Xia Yu figured out that the island country has the highest market, and that is because the market for comics has been cultivated, and the island country has a developed economy, and readers have the money to buy comics.

The most important thing is that the quality of "Bosom Friend" is very high, and it is worth spending money on!

The main economy of Southeast Asian countries is not as good as that of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, so it makes sense that the retention rate is so low.

The economic level of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is not bad, especially the local comic industry in Xiangjiang has just been cleaned up, Xia Yu is completely eating alone, and the sales volume will naturally not be low!

"Tengdong, well done, stabilize this sales volume and strive for a new high!"

Xia Yu put down the statistical table, looked at Ma Tengdong with appreciation, and said.

630,000 copies, which is already a good start, although the overall retention rate is 34%, but if you remove those who bought the newspaper and received it, and don't read the comics themselves, the retention rate will definitely be much higher.

"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely continue to work hard!" Ma Tengdong said with a smile.

"By the way, boss, there are already many merchants who want to authorize us to produce peripheral products, and I haven't agreed for the time being. ”

Suddenly thinking of something, Ma Tengdong immediately said.

Xia Yu smiled faintly and said, "I also wanted to talk to you about this." ”

Ma Tengdong perked up, looked at Xia Yu with some expectation and said, "Boss, please command." ”

"Peripheral products are the most profitable, and authorized production is the most normal business, but now our comics have just been on sale for a short time, and the market has not yet been cultivated, so it is not suitable for licensing, and we must set a standard first!"

Xia Yu said slowly, Ma Tengdong nodded in agreement, this was also his concern, so he did not agree to authorize.

"When you are in the island country, you should know that whether it is Shogakukan or Shueisha, they have their own peripheral flagship stores, and we must also have them, and we must eat the majority of the profits from peripheral products. ”

Xia Yu's eyes narrowed and said lightly, but his tone was undoubted.

The peripheral flagship store is a bit like Apple's experience store in the future, which only sells company-related peripheral products, which can cultivate user loyalty and also earn a lot of profits.

Similarly, this kind of peripheral flagship store can also sell comic magazines, whether it is a single book that will be released in the future, or a comic that has been sold, it can be sold in it, which enriches the company's distribution channels, which can not only allow Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to better grasp the market context, but also enhance the right to speak in front of channel dealers.

After all, when Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has its own direct retail stores, it is easier for other channel providers to bow their heads.

Therefore, there are many benefits to establishing a peripheral flagship store.

Ma Tengdong nodded in agreement, thought for a while and said, "Boss, what is the name of our surrounding flagship store?"

Xia Yu thought for a while and said slowly: "Let's call it the Manke House, readers are our guests, and the surrounding flagship stores are for them. ”

Ma Tengdong's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "This name is good, the home of manke, the home of comic lovers, take the last two words of our comic magazine, easy to remember and appropriate, and it can cultivate the loyalty of readers." ”

Although Ma Tengdong was suspected of being a sycophant, Xia Yu was still useful, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a touch of arc.

"Tengdong, you make a detailed plan, and at the same time build a direct management department of Manke Home, my request is to open the first phase of ten Manke Homes, one in each of the three places in Xiangjiang, one in Aomen, one in the north and south of Taiwan Island, three in island countries, and one in Singapore in Southeast Asia. ”

"Okay!"

Ma Tengdong nodded earnestly and said that he had written it down.

"Boss, we still lack supporting factories for the production of peripheral products, what are your plans?"

"We produce it in our own factory!"

Xia Yu said without hesitation, with his own factory, more people work for him, his influence will naturally be greater, and with his own factory, he can not only control the quality, but also make more profits.

"This is also what I want to tell you, there is a Ming Hong toy factory in the Kowloon Industrial Park, you send someone to investigate, if it is suitable, see if you can buy it. ”

"I will allocate the money for the construction of Manke's Home and the money for the acquisition of the toy factory, and I have only one requirement, that is, both efficiency and quality, understand?"

Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong solemnly and said.

"Understood!"

Ma Tengdong replied loudly with a happy face.

To tell the truth, Jiuding Newspaper Company spent at least 36 million Hong Kong dollars, and after the news of the large-scale acquisition was exposed, Ma Tengdong did not mention how envious he was.

But he also knew that it was because Jiuding Newspaper Company had a solid foundation and could digest the acquired companies.

However, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., which he manages, has just started, the foundation has not yet been established, and the market has not yet been occupied, so it is impossible to say that it will acquire other companies to strengthen itself.

It's just that he didn't expect that just a few days after envy, the boss gave him such a big task and provided funds, how could this not make him happy.

Ma Tengdong has secretly made up his mind that he must do these things well and let the boss see that he will definitely not waste a penny, and maybe the boss will provide funds to accelerate the take-off of the animation company.
