"Mr. Liu, let me introduce to you, this is Wen Mingqi, an artist from our Hong Kong Island branch, and his painting skills are very good, so bring him to meet you!"

Lu Xiaoguang pointed at the young man and said.

"Wen Mingqi!"

Liu Lang looked at him, the other party hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hands, this Liu Lang he was like thunder, it was this child who was less than ten years old who turned Shengtang Company into a huge group in a short period of time, the comic part of Hong Kong Island is just a small piece, and the branch in the United States is "terrifying", the two songs take turns to occupy the top of the singles chart on the American Billboard, and he is simply a god-like existence in the mouths of Lu Xiaoguang and Shao Ming.

"Hello Mr. Liu!"

The other party spoke a struggling Mandarin.

"Hello Brother Wen, welcome to join Shengtang Company!"

As soon as Liu Lang opened his mouth, he was proficient in Cantonese.

"Mr. Liu, do you speak Cantonese?"

Wen Mingqi was a little surprised.

"Mr. Liu is a genius, he can speak five or six languages!

Shao Ming also replied in Cantonese on the side, he and Lu Xiaoguang have been on Hong Kong Island for a year, and they can speak Cantonese approximately, but they are still far behind Liu Lang.

Several people sat down, Lu Xiaoguang put a sample of the comic of the slam dunk next to Liu Lang, and Shao Ming reported to Liu Lang about his work in the past six months.

The division of labor of Shengtang Company is very clear, the domestic head office and the branch of Hong Kong Island are responsible for the production of comics, and then printed into a book to the United States, and the Sun family is responsible for the distribution and publicity, but now some European countries have also fallen in love with the Transformers comics, ready to be introduced into Europe, and now the entire Sun family is negotiating, the Transformers comics will soon land in Europe, of course, the same is true for the toy model, but that piece is the responsibility of the fire family.

The work of Shengtang Company is the simplest, which is also Liu Lang's idea.

In half a year, 1.7 million copies of Transformers comics were distributed, a year-on-year increase of 30 percent, which was simply a burst of profits.

The company has its own printing factory, located in the capital, and the equipment is imported from the island country, all of which are color prints, and the cost of each comic book is as high as four yuan, two cents and two yuan, which is more expensive than the domestic popular film magazines.

But this price is too cheap on Hong Kong Island and the United States, the price of a Transformers comic on Hong Kong Island is 27 Hong Kong dollars, and now the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is 1 to 6.5, which is much higher than last year's exchange rate, according to this exchange rate, RMB and Hong Kong dollars are 1 to 1.2, 27 Hong Kong dollars are equivalent to 22 yuan of RMB, after deducting other costs and the sharing of Yongli Group and the Sun family, the profit per copy has reached more than 8 yuan, and Transformers has issued more than 300,000 copies on Hong Kong Island in half a year, and this piece of Shengtang Company alone has earned more than 2.5 million yuan。

2.5 million yuan was an astronomical amount in the 80s, but it was much worse than the sales revenue in the United States, the price of a comic book in the United States was 18 yuan, which is US dollars, after deducting taxes and other expenses, the profit of each copy reached 37 yuan, and the sales volume in the United States rose in half a year, selling more than 1.3 million copies, and the net profit reached 48 million yuan, almost 8 million US dollars. It's almost scared to death, a month ago, Liu Lang ordered the welfare, Lu Xiaoguang and Shao Ming each got 500,000 yuan, Lu Chunzhong's three masters each got 300,000 yuan, and the other employees also ranged from 100,000 to 200,000, these money are also a drop in the bucket compared with Shengtang's profits, but in this era when 10,000 yuan households are still rare varieties, they have suddenly become hundreds of thousands of yuan households, throwing out too many others.

"Everyone has worked hard in the past six months, Mr. Mu and I thank you!"

After Shao Ming finished reporting his work, Liu Lang said he was very satisfied.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Mu, you two are the pillars of Shengtang Company, if you don't have you, we don't know what to do?"

Shao Ming hurriedly replied.

They know their own weight, even if they don't have them, Liu Lang can find someone else to replace them, because most of this idea is Liu Lang's idea, so no one thinks what would happen without their own Shengtang, they just have painting skills, but then again, there are many people who can paint, they are just lucky, sometimes a small luck will change people's lives, this sentence is the most appropriate for them.

"Don't thank me, I didn't do anything, I'm just a dry eater!"

Hearing Shao Ming say this, Mu Xiaohu on the side waved his hand, he really made money lying down without even doing a hair, and now he is worth more than tens of millions of dollars.

"Brother Xiaohu, if it weren't for your 200,000 yuan, Shengtang would not have been established, and this is also your credit. ”

Liu Lang said with a smile.

"That's right, I'm lucky, and you're also lucky, you can find Liu Lang as the boss, and you can become a millionaire after following him!"

Mu Xiaohu's words made everyone laugh.

Liu Lang smiled and waved his hand.

"Now the business of Transformers is developing very well, especially in the United States, and has become a well-known comic book image, but I want to tell you that this is just the beginning, and then we have to develop into the film business, and I tell you in advance that our movies are completely different from previous movies, not to make animated movies, but to make movies like real people!"

"A movie like a real person?"

A bunch of people don't understand.

"If you don't understand, the whole world won't understand, that's our advantage, and next year we'll be able to make the first animated film, which is completely different from the previous animation, and you'll know when the time comes. ”

Liu Lang didn't explain much.

"This year's focus is on this slam dunk, this is a sample, I read it, very good, but I found a small problem, it seems that the way this comic is drawn is a little different!"

Liu Lang just flipped through the sample draft, and found that the painting method in this sample is a little different from the past, you must know that Lu Xiaoguang and they are all Chinese painters, pay attention to beautiful lines, and have a very cultural heritage, and the painting method in this draft has a little pop culture characteristics, which is different from the painting method of Transformers.

"Mr. Liu, this manuscript is written by me, I don't know if it meets your requirements?"

Wen Mingqi on the side asked a little uneasily.

"No, your style is very good, very in line with the characteristics of pop culture, in fact, our comics should fit the trend of pop culture, we have to combine the traditional painting methods of our country with the popular painting methods of Europe and the United States, your drawing method is very good!"

Chinese painting pays attention to introverted and profound, and the popular painting methods in Europe and the United States are public, and the slam dunk master is to fly youth, and there is no need for those introverted and profound, so Liu Lang very much agrees with Wen Mingqi's painting method.
