Chapter 174: Like a Great Enemy
In the next few days, Xia Yu turned on the busy mode again, and almost all of his free time was spent writing the main outline of the comic plot and drawing character settings.
Before that, Xia Yu also asked Yan Wenhan to publish a recruitment advertisement in "Jiuding Daily", announcing the establishment of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to recruit comic talents, and the salary is higher than that of the current Xiangjiang comics industry.
This news has made many readers look sideways, after all, this Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., look at the name and Jiuding Newspaper Company is a brother company, although it has just been established, but it has the energy of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and you don't need to think about it to know that the starting point of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. will be very high.
But it was the comic industry that entered, and many people secretly frowned.
After all, in their impression, comics are not a good thing, and many parents are afraid of it, for fear that their children will like comics and then learn bad things unconsciously.
Of course, this is not to blame them, after all, the plan of "Bosom Friend" is now only known to Xia Yu, and it is not wrong for them to think according to the conventional view, but when "Bosom Friend" comes out, they will be dumbfounded.
As soon as the recruitment advertisement published in Jiuding Daily came out, the most restless was the Xiangjiang comic industry.
Shangguan Xiaobao's Shenghuo Publishing House and Huang Yulang's Yulang Book Company, the two major overlords of the Hong Kong comics industry, naturally bore the brunt.
"President, no, Jiuding Newspaper Company and the stock god are about to enter the comic industry, and now they are recruiting talents. ”
Early in the morning, an employee of the Holy Flame Publishing House ran into Shangguan Xiaobao's office with a newspaper in his hand and a panicked face.
Shangguan Xiaobao saw his panicked appearance, frowned, and wanted to count a sentence, but before he could say anything, he heard the words of the employee, and he was shocked, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed the newspaper in his hand and browsed it.
Shangguan Xiaobao looked at it very carefully, for fear of missing something important.
It's just that as time passed, his face became more and more solemn, and the hand holding the newspaper unconsciously clenched into a fist.
When he finished reading it, he slapped the newspaper on the table and made a loud noise, startling the staff who reported it.
The employee secretly looked at the president Shangguan Xiaobao, but found that he frowned, leaned back in the chair and thought, his face kept changing.
"It's troublesome, a shark rushed in, how can Xia Yu, the god of stocks, look at the comics industry, the entire industry is not enough to lift shoes for the financial industry, how can I put more profitable finance and not cultivate deeply, but rush into the small pond of the comics industry......"
"Headache ......"
Shangguan Xiaobao rubbed his temples and muttered to himself with a headache.
The recruitment advertisement, detailed elaboration of the advantages of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., although just established, but but and Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company is the same boss, with the god of stock as the boss, then don't think, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is absolutely wealthy.
Moreover, the advertisement also focuses on the standard, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Newspaper Company are brother companies, and all the distribution channels of Jiuding Newspaper Company can be borrowed.
Although Shangguan Xiaobao's Holy Flame Publishing House has been around for seven or eight years, and he has been constantly expanding his distribution channels over the years, even if he has spent a long time, he is still a scum compared to Jiuding Newspaper Company.
This, although he was reluctant to admit it, but his intellect told him that the gap did exist, and that it would only get bigger.
Now Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has made it clear that it is not bad for money, nor bad distribution channels, the only thing lacking is comic talents, through this recruitment, the shortcomings of comic talents will definitely be made up to a certain extent, but it is a matter of how much to make up.
So as long as the quality of the comics distributed by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is not bad, even if it is not as good as his "Li Xiaolong" of the Holy Fire Publishing House for the time being, with the help of strong distribution channels, it can also lay a market and have an impact on him.
Now the only way is to hope that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. will not be able to recruit people!
Just seeing the promised salary in the newspaper, Shangguan Xiaobao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
The salary is a cut higher than the average level of the entire Xiangjiang industry, and it is difficult for others to be tempted, and his publishing house will definitely have someone who is tempted.
Fortunately, because the publishing house now implements an apprenticeship system, and the painting talents are all his apprentices, it is difficult to go if they are bound, so it is difficult for Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to poach people, but now its high salary has brought a problem to Shangguan Xiaobao, and the people of the publishing house will definitely be restless.
Everything is afraid of contrast, and there is no harm without contrast!
If Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. really implements the announced salary, Shangguan Xiaobao will definitely face the pressure of a salary increase, which will greatly reduce his income, and take money out of his pocket, can he be happy?
Unless Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. goes out of business, he doesn't have to raise his salary!
"Sure enough, I have a lot of money, and I don't see a shadow of the comics, just a job advertisement, it caused me trouble, hey......"
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiaobao sighed in his heart, it was very unpleasant.
"President, when I came in, other colleagues already knew about it, you see?"
The employee who had been standing for a long time saw that Shangguan Xiaobao seemed to be finished thinking, so he reminded carefully.
Shangguan Xiaobao frowned, then stood up and said to him, "Go, go out with me." ”
He has to settle down in the publishing house, otherwise people's hearts will fluctuate, and if they are not controlled, the trouble will only get bigger and bigger.
......
At the same time, another major overlord in the Hong Kong comic industry, Yulang Book Company.
At this time, Huang Yulang also saw the recruitment advertisement on "Jiuding Daily", and his face was also solemn.
What Shangguan Xiaobao can think of, Huang Yulang can also think of, because of this, the pressure in his heart can be imagined.
Xiangjiang comic industry, compared with other industries, the market is very small, just like his "Dragon Tiger Gate" comics, now each issue can sell 100,000 copies, but the price of a copy is only 2 Hong Kong dollars, and the sales of each issue are more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Thinking about it again, two Hong Kong dollars is only the retail price, and the ex-factory price is even lower, thinking about it, the "Dragon Tiger Gate" comic can create him 5 million revenue a year, and the profit will only be less.
Coupled with Xiangjiang's other "Bruce Lee" comic that sold more than 100,000 yuan, plus other miscellaneous income, the market of the entire Xiangjiang comic industry is now at most tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
In this kind of market of tens of millions, where can it get into the eyes of tycoons and wealthy families?
This kind of money is completely low-end hard-earned money, and those big people don't look down on it at all!
Not to mention that the reputation of the comic industry is not good!
Huang Yulang had never worried that a tycoon would come in to make this hard-earned money, but he didn't expect the accident to come so suddenly, and a shark rushed in in a blink of an eye, how could this not make him vigilant?
It's just that he can't figure it out, where does the comics industry attract big names like the stock god Xia Yu, is the comic industry has great potential?
It's just that after so many years, he hasn't seen where the potential is! If there is potential, how can there be a sign of it?
This also can't complain about Huang Yulang, it is estimated that Shangguan Xiaobao also thinks so, thinking that the comic industry is just such a small market.
The height of vision determines the breadth of thinking, at this time they have been in Xiangjiang Nest for a long time, although they are fighting with each other, but they are still like frogs at the bottom of the well.
They can't figure out that the market capacity of the world's comic industry will be 100 times larger than the current Xiangjiang comics market.
Even in later generations, the entire industrial chain with comics as the source will reach a height of hundreds of billions of dollars!
But no matter what, from the time they learned that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. rushed in, Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao were like great enemies, and they sent people to pay attention to the latest trends of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. at any time.
At the same time, they also mobilized their own means to keep their own employees.
This is the prestige of Xia Yu and Jiuding Newspaper Company now, just raising their hands gently, but they have already frightened a group of people!
Of course, what Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao want to see most is that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has a lot of thunder and rain, and it is limited by the problem of comic talents, and finally it goes out of business.
Will it just be as they wish?
Let's go!
