I have only met Thomas once, and the other party still remembers Han Chudong.

The call was short, he only told Han Chudong the address of his company, and said that he would talk about other issues in person, and he should be busy with something, so he hung up the phone quickly.

Don't mind in the slightest.

Since Thomas is willing to talk in person, most of them are interested in the project.

Otherwise, with the social habits of white people, they will not play politely and the like, especially when it comes to business, the separation between public and private is very clear.

The two communicative habits have their own advantages and disadvantages.

From a business point of view, it's better to be like white people and not involve too much money.

There are not so many triangular debts, and there are not so many loans between individuals, and it is good that money or goods are given out, but there are many examples of not being able to recover them.

There are too many defaults, which can easily turn the business environment into a miasma and make investors lose confidence.

It's really worry-free to do business on this land.

So far, Han Chudong has not encountered an example of not paying off debts, or running away with money, doing business with agents, all of them are paid with one hand and delivered with the other, just according to the contract.

A good business atmosphere is based on the improvement of the legal system and the improvement of the personal credit system, and the cost of breaking the law is too high, so as long as they are not cornered, few people are willing to defy the law.

If you encounter a scammer, it's another matter, when you just cooperated with the agents, they didn't send a lot of people to investigate, so it's definitely right to keep your eyes open and be careful.

Thinking that he could just see the scale of the animation company run by Thomas, after putting down the phone, Han Chudong took Mochizuki Kiko and set off, and he is currently holding an assistant position, so he doesn't take anyone with her.

It is planned to wait until it is finalized, and then notify the person in charge of Mango Company......

Rushing from the city center to Burbank, which is located in the suburbs, the distance is relatively far, Han Chudong is gradually tired of driving by himself, and has asked his own Lao Tzu to help find a reliable driver candidate, but there is no news for the time being.

Took a moment to come to Burbank.

As the "media capital of the world", there are not only Walt Disney headquarters, but also world-famous media and entertainment companies such as Warner Bros., NBC, and Viacom.

After studying the map and making sure that I had missed my destination, I turned back and this time I successfully found Thomas Animation Studio, and the small sign hung on the roof of a building, and I almost didn't see it if I didn't look closely.

It's only been more than ten days since the last time I met Thomas, and he's still the same, wearing a tracksuit, and he doesn't need to be too particular in his company.

After the meeting.

Thomas told Han Chudong:

"Actually, after you finished talking about that animation idea last time, I seriously thought about falling asleep at two o'clock at night, and if it wasn't for the fact that I've been too busy lately and is helping Disney make an animated film that will be released in August, I will definitely call you.

I'm sorry to have you come here, but less than ten minutes after the meeting ended, I asked my wife to buy pizza for lunch, and then we can eat together?"

"It's okay, I've never been to Burbank, so I'm here for a tourist. So what do you think about? Can you cooperate?"

Han Chudong looked at both sides of the corridor when he spoke, all of them were posters of anime characters, in this era without the help of computers, the production of cartoons mainly relied on hand-drawn drawings, more than 20 pictures per second, and the workload was amazing.

“…… That's the case, I hope to discuss it first, improve the plot, and then release the manga version to see the feedback. If the response is good, then I can consider animating so that I can be sure that I can attract other investors, such as my long-term partner, The Walt Disney Company. ”

I'm afraid that young people are unreliable, so I have opinions, Thomas added: "It's not easy to make money, my company doesn't have much money, and it's likely that it will fail once and go bankrupt, you should also know that the investment in animation is huge, so I want to push the comic version to give it a try first." ”

Because of these words, Han Chudong felt that Thomas was more reliable.

The cartoon in his memory is popular in the Asian market, it doesn't mean that it can also be popular in the American market, it's not easy for anyone to make money, and if you don't have the confidence to enter the market, even if it is Han Chudong, you may reap the first investment failure.

Nodding his head in approval, he replied, "I have similar ideas to you, so will you join forces with me to publish comics, or will I invest separately and wait until I see how the results are, and then move to animation production?"

The passion of Christmas Eve was gradually replaced by reason.

Thomas's animation studio, which focuses on fairy tales and in 1967 worked on "Cat and Mouse" for MGM's animation division, led Thomas to question whether animation with toy racing cars as the core could attract potential consumers.

Han Chudong has a toy company and can sell toys to make money, but Thomas cannot.

Thomas said at this moment: "Didn't you come up with a story from a toy? Since you have merchandise, it's better to invest on your own, I haven't invested in comics."

However, I've already helped you find a great comic book publisher, he's almost there, I'll help you talk about distributing a single book, and I'll introduce you to great manga artists who have been in the business for many years and definitely have more vision than you, and I'll take care of all of this. ”

Vaguely hearing the other party's refusal to join forces, Han Chudong did not force it.

I don't even have much confidence in myself, so wouldn't I be a cheater if I failed?

Being thankless and helping to contact distributors and cartoonists is enough to show kindness, Han Chudong was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you very much, then okay, maybe after the comics are successful, we can work together again, if it fails, forget it." ”

"Haha! The popularity of comics can drive the sales of peripheral products, but some toys are very popular, but they may not necessarily produce comics, and there is no absolute relationship between the two. Even if the response was mediocre, I think you invented great toys, and I mean the toy cars you described. ”

"Today I brought a model product that might inspire the publisher, and I will definitely give it to your child when it is officially launched, so you don't have to worry about gifts this Christmas." Han Chudong said with a smile that he really brought the model product that had applied for a patent in his car.

After the Mason lab finished working on the battery, a group of people helped develop the toy.

If it weren't for the fear of affecting the sales of toys such as magic balls and battle tops, they could actually be produced and marketed at any time, and Han Chudong was used as a technical reserve, ready to choose the right time to launch them to the market.

During a visit to the animation studio, a middle-aged white man in a suit soon arrived.

Listening to Thomas's help introduce and say that the other party was the head of the Burbank branch of Marvel Comics, Han Chudong's handshake stopped obviously, he was a die-hard fan of Iron Man.

I inexplicably feel that the launch of "Four-wheel Drive Brothers" by Marvel is a bit funny, do you want to change the name to "Four-wheel Drive"?

I can't help but be happy, it feels amazing......
