351 Comics Flagship Store
The auction of the super land king has already attracted the attention of the Hong Kong media, and the transaction of 5.3 billion Hong Kong dollars has poured a basin of gasoline into the fire.
The next day, almost all the newspapers in Hong Kong made the headline the news, even some entertainment weeklies.
The high-priced transaction of the king of the land stimulated the stock market, and the whole real estate stocks rose sharply, which simply pulled the entire Hang Seng Index.
In addition to the land king being taken into the arms of Hongkong Land, Xu Zhi's appearance at a real estate auction for the first time in several years has caused countless speculations, and people with good intentions have hyped up that Evergrande and Hutchison are about to enter the real estate market on a large scale.
It's a pity that as a client, Xu Zhi did not accept any media interviews, because he had previously taken his own private jet and went to Tokyo, Japan.
......
"Chairman, this is our flagship store at Kadokawa Shoten, located in Ginza, Tokyo. As soon as he got out of a Bentley, Ichiro Takizawa pointed to a large bookstore across the street and introduced.
Since the acquisition of Kadokawa Shoten and two other small bookstores three months ago, the entire new Kadokawa Bookstore has spread to all other Japanese cities except Hokkaido, but the disadvantage is that the current Kadokawa Bookstore has a weak layout in Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya and other large cities, after all, before Xu Zhi's acquisition, Kadokawa Shoten's capital power was not strong.
But the problem that can be solved with money is not a big problem.
Although Japan's housing prices have not yet entered the crazy state that they have experienced in 85 years, as the only developed country in Asia, the land rent in the prime location of its first-tier cities is still unattainable for many people.
However, for Xu Zhi, who knows the future, it is very simple to solve this matter, and directly transferred 10 billion yen (40 million US dollars) from Midea to buy 20 stores in prime commercial locations in these big cities, and these stores are large and small, and several of the larger ones will be used as the flagship stores of Kadokawa Bookstore.
The bookstore in front of me, located on Tokyo's Ginza Street, was purchased for 2.5 billion yen, and before that, it was a luxury store.
At the moment, it has been replaced by a bookstore, which is indeed very puzzling for ordinary businessmen, from the cost point of view, it is better to rent out the store just to sell books.
But Xu Zhi wants this effect, every year there are many young people who come to Ginza to shop, these people are potential customers of comics, as long as they know the brand of Kadokawa Bookstore, then the so-called rent Xu Zhi doesn't care at all, not to mention, in a few years, the housing prices here will rise even more terrifying than Xiangjiang.
"Let's go in and have a look. Xu Zhi said with a smile.
"Yes, Chairman, please. Ichiro Takizawa said.
"This smell is a bit heavy!" Xu Zhi had just entered the bookstore when he smelled a smell.
Takizawa Ichiro said: "I'm sorry, chairman, the bookcases here are all new custom products, and there will be some log smell, as long as it takes another month, the smell will disappear." β
"Okay, the breeze system will be turned on quickly, and the taste will be much better. Xu Zhi said, and carefully looked at the entire bookstore.
The decoration style here is very simple, the color of the walls is mainly milky white, the books inside are mainly all kinds of comics, the color of the bookcase is Aoki, which looks extremely natural, all kinds of comic books are placed horizontally or vertically on the cabinet, most of them are sealed, but there are several books for visitors to read.
"How many books can be sold here in a day?" Xu Zhi asked.
Ichiro Takizawa replied: "The average is almost 6,000 copies, and the main thing is to see if there are any best-selling manga released on the day, such as Doraemon, Astro Boy, and Tennis Sweetheart, these manga are released on different days, and the sales on the day will be very high." β
"What about the sales of crayon Xiaoxin?" Xu Zhi asked casually.
Ichiro Takizawa replied, "Before February, sales were not in the top 10, but since our anime started broadcasting on TV stations, sales have increased a lot. β
"This Akita Nobutada has really made a lot of money. Xu Zhi smiled and said,Crayon Xiaoxin is given to the TV station for free for broadcast,This naturally aroused the interest of many TV stations,Although it will not make this free anime on the prime time,But the usual large number of broadcasts have also brought a lot of fame to Crayon Xiaoxinγ
The fame has risen, and the sales of this manga will naturally keep up, but because of the early contract, the manga of Crayon Shin-chan is temporarily published by Akita Shoten.
Ichiro Takizawa then asked: "Chairman, our contract with Akita Bookstore is about to expire, and that old man from Akita Nobutada has approached me many times to renew the contract, I wonder if you have any other considerations about this matter?"
Xu Zhixiao asked, "Do you want to take back the franchise of Crayon Xiaoxin?"
Ichiro Takizawa nodded and said, "Of course, now that this manga has become famous, and we have our own channels, it is not a problem to create a book at all."
Although Akita Shoten paid a lot of promotion for Crayon Xiaoxin in the early stage, it also made a lot of money itself, whether it is according to the contract or considering our own interests, we should take it back. β
Xu Zhi asked, "When will the contract expire?"
"There's still a month to go. Ichiro Takizawa replied.
Xu Zhi smiled and said: "It is necessary for Crayon Xiaoxin to be retracted, but this comic alone is not enough, I have prepared several new comics in Xiangjiang, this will be the first work of our new comics?"
"How many manga?" Ichiro Takizawa asked in surprise, "I don't know what theme it's about?"
Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Do you know the classical Chinese story Journey to the West? β
"Of course, I've heard that I have read 3 of the four famous novels of the Chinese nation, and I also like Journey to the West very much. Ichiro Takizawa said with a smile that some Chinese classical books are very popular in Japan, and the most famous should be the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, some of which are very popular among young Japanese people.
Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The first story I want to release is mainly based on the characters of Journey to the West, but the plot is completely different, and the background is on the earth with magic and martial arts." β
Ichiro Takizawa nodded and said, "If there are characters from Journey to the West in the comics, then it will be much more convenient for us to promote." β
"The second story is about some robot life, but it's not set on Earth.
The third part is a kind of manga about special life forms, and you'll know when the comics come out. Xu Zhi said simply.
Although he was curious about the specific storyline, the boss was obviously reluctant to say more, so he asked: "Chairman, when will these comics be officially released?"
