"Mr. Huo, I hear you mean that you want to print a separate pattern?"

"Well, you need to print a separate pattern. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a bit tricky. ”

Director Li really wants to promote this cooperation, but the current textile factory does not have this condition, and he can't deceive others, so he has to say embarrassedly: "Our factory has not done printing technology, and there is no corresponding production equipment." ”

"It doesn't matter, I can help you solve the problem of production equipment. ”

After speaking, Huo Yaowen thought for a while, and said: "If allowed, I can invest in a local garment factory to cooperate with your silk and linen textile factory, and the venue, raw materials, labor and production will be arranged by you, and I will be responsible for the equipment myself." ”

"Invest in building a factory!" As soon as he heard that Huo Yaowen wanted to invest in building a factory, Director Li was stunned, he was just the director of a textile factory, how did he do this.

"Hmmm......"

Huo Yaowen naturally also knew that the reform and opening up had not yet been officially launched, and it might not be easy for foreign capital to build factories, so in order to increase his persuasiveness, he said directly: "The main sales place of this printed T-shirt I told Director Li is not in Hong Kong, but in the United States and Japan. ”

"Sold to the United States and Japan!"

Director Li was even more shocked at this time, earning Hong Kong dollars is foreign exchange, earning US dollars and yen is also foreign exchange, but the influence of the US dollar in the international arena is still much heavier than that of Hong Kong dollars, as the director of a textile factory with 5,000 people, he naturally understands how important earning US dollars can be to the country's foreign exchange reserves at this time.

After thinking for a long time, Director Li gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, Mr. Huo, I'll tell the people above about your factory, and I can't guarantee whether it will succeed." ”

"It doesn't matter if you can't build a factory, you can still continue to work with printed T-shirts. "Huo Yaowen wants to build a factory, just to avoid some possible troubles, whether it is successful or not will not affect this cooperation too much.

"Good. ”

As he spoke, Director Li said goodbye excitedly and went to report the matter to Director Ma.

Until the delegation finished lunch, Huo Yaowen didn't see Director Li again.

When the group rested for a while and was about to go to the canning factory for inspection, Director Li led Director Ma and President Liang to hurry over.

A few people found a room with no one alone, and Director Ma couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Huo heard that you want to cooperate with a textile factory to build a factory?"

"Yes. Huo Yaowen glanced at Chairman Liang, and in his puzzled eyes, he roughly understood what the other party was thinking, nothing more than that his industry on Hong Kong Island and abroad basically had nothing to do with the textile industry, and he didn't understand why he wanted to build a garment factory.

Huo Yaowen thought for a while and said, "President Liang knows my "Jurassic Park". ”

Chairman Liang didn't understand the meaning of Huo Yaowen's words, but he still nodded: "Of course I know, it is expected to become the world's first sci-fi movie to break one billion dollars, I still know, I also watched it in the Great Wall Theater in Hong Kong before, and I have to say that the shooting is very shocking." ”

Billion dollars!

A movie can sell a billion at the box office, or dollars!

This blockbuster news was like a heavy blow to Director Li and Director Ma, who were dizzy for a while.

"That's what I want to work with Director Li. ”

Feeling that there was ambiguity in the words, Huo Yaowen explained: "There is a kind of peripheral products abroad that are derived from the film industry, such as making some clothes, hats, drinking glasses, etc. related to the plot of the movie. The printed T-shirt that I proposed with Director Li is a kind of movie peripheral product, and the image of a dinosaur is printed on the T-shirt to attract fans who like to watch this movie to buy. This kind of peripheral products are very popular in Europe and the United States and other countries, and a few years ago, my "1999" peripheral T-shirt sold almost 3 million pieces in the United States alone. ”

At this time, people in the mainland have not been exposed to the concept of peripheral products, but after Huo Yaowen's explanation, Director Ma and Director Li can also understand it, it is nothing more than a trendy and in-demand goods, just like the current good fabric.

Especially when Huo Yaowen mentioned that a T-shirt sold three million pieces in the United States, if such a large batch could be exported, the sense of happiness could smash their brains.

Different from Director Ma and Director Li, they are concerned about the export of products, while President Liang is more concerned about the other peripheral products mentioned by Huo Yaowen!

Since clothes can be made, can you make water glasses, toys, and hats?!

"Huo Sheng, I don't know if you can reveal the sales of "1999" in foreign peripheral products?" Chairman Liang has worked in Hong Kong for many years, and it can be said that he knows foreign countries very well, but he has not been exposed to the film industry too much, let alone peripheral products.

"Well......" Huo Yaowen doesn't know much about the specific sales situation, he just waits for the money, and the sales of peripheral products before are handed over to Twentieth Century Fox, and they have channels and manufacturers. However, Davide often reported to him that he had made a lot of money, which could be said to be a lot of money!

After 3 years of development, "1999" is basically equivalent to "Star Wars" in another time and space, and there may not be many fans in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places, but it is quite well-known in Europe and the United States, and the number of fans can be described as tens of millions.

"I don't know the specific sales situation, but the revenue accumulated in the past few years is not much less than the box office of the movie I received at the beginning. Huo Yaowen didn't want to say the specific figures, for fear of scaring Director Li and Director Ma, after all, it is difficult to imagine that a movie earns hundreds of millions of dollars.

And he still understands the truth that wealth is not exposed.

Hearing this, Director Li and Director Ma were a little confused, and they didn't know what the concept was, but President Liang understood, his eyes suddenly brightened, "1999" has a global box office of 800 million, Huo Yaowen, as an investor and author of the original book, can get at least 100 million!

The value of peripheral products is equivalent to 100 million US dollars, which is still a long-term sustainable business!

It's a big deal!

He suddenly said excitedly: "That Huo Sheng, can we be responsible for all the dinosaur peripheral products?" You can rest assured, the quality can be guaranteed, even if there is no corresponding assembly line, we will definitely introduce the latest and best equipment from abroad!"

"This ......" Huo Yaowen hesitated: "President Liang, you may not know, I am just one of the investors in this movie, and many of the peripheral products are handed over to the American Fox Company, and they are more professional in selling peripheral products and have a wider range of channels." ”

"That's right. "President Liang has some regrets.

As soon as the words fell, I only heard Huo Yaowen say again: "But if you don't dislike the low demand, you can cooperate with a toy factory, most of Fox's channels are in Europe and the United States, and I have always wanted to develop in Asia." ”

Basically, no one in Hong Kong does movie peripheral products, the main reason is because the audience is too small, and secondly, most people have seen a movie and will not pay too much attention to it.

But Huo Yaowen's company is different, he has long been interested in participating in the production of peripheral products, not to mention the current popular "Jurassic Park", just "Kyushu", a big IP that has been developed for four or five years, if the production of peripheral products is carried out, the sales will definitely not be low, and the card collection activity a few years ago has caused a huge response.

Gu Long has also jokingly thanked Huo Yaowen many times for giving him the set of cards, and if they are sold on the market now, they are worth at least hundreds of thousands!

"If you don't dislike it, how can you dislike it! Huo Sheng, I will handle this matter as soon as possible and discuss it with you. "Chairman Liang knows very well how popular Huo Yaowen's works abroad, not to mention the current "Jurassic Park", just those books published before, if they can continue to make movies and make peripheral products, they will definitely be able to bring huge foreign exchange resources to the country.

Moreover, the sales of products in Asia alone are enough for them to make now, and if they are greedy for the European and American markets, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

……

Director Ma was still a little confused about the situation, but President Liang agreed, and he also understood that it must be a good thing, so all afternoon, when he visited the cannery, he was happy to face Huo Yaowen, thinking that if this cooperation was successful, it should be of great help to his performance.

When I first visited this cannery, the big guy had just arrived at the gate, and none of the people in the group knew the first word of the cannery, and even Huo Yaowen, a person who has studied for more than 30 years and is familiar with simplified Chinese characters, couldn't understand it, let alone the people who were used to traditional Chinese characters in the delegation!

The word cans on the signboard of the cannery is a reincarnation, and this word is simply ......

Anyway, in the end, I heard President Liang say that this is a simplified can word, and the big guy can understand what this word is.

Hearing this, the delegation nodded, after all, they knew the simplified characters, and they began to do it during the Republic of China.

But Huo Yaowen was a little puzzled, in his memory, it seems that the canned characters are not written like this! Finally, after thinking about it, it can only be attributed to the change in the future, after all, he was born in the 80s, and it is normal to be unfamiliar with the things of the 70s.

I don't want to mention the simplification of words.

Back to the Guangzhou canning factory itself, according to the director of the canning factory, Liu, there are a total of 32,000 workers, and many of the various canned products produced are sold abroad through the Canton Fair.

The scale of the whole canning factory is very large, it is currently the largest canned food production factory in the country, not only beef, mutton, pork and other canned meat, but also various flavors of canned fruit, it can be said that there is everything.

Director Ma led the delegation to inspect the purpose of this cannery, mainly to continue to expand the cannery's business in foreign trade, but unfortunately he miscalculated, that is, Hong Kong's fruit market is very rich, not only from Taiwan, but also from Thailand and other places by sea, basically the public only love to eat fresh fruits, and rarely buy canned fruits to eat.

As for beef, mutton and pork, not to mention, Hong Kong has a lot of frozen meat reserves.

So this time Director Ma could only be disappointed.

On the contrary, Director Liu is not too disappointed, after all, at present, their factory has the Canton Fair behind the support, and every year there will be a group of foreign merchants to order cooperation with them, which is not as urgent as the silk and linen textile factory to earn foreign exchange for the country.

……

The investigation was not until the evening, and the group took the car back to the Baiyun Hotel.

The big guy packed his bags and prepared to fly north the next day.

When eating in the restaurant department of the hotel that night, Huo Yaowen also unexpectedly met a waitress who had seen him, and he was a little surprised that the other party could get this "Sweet Honey", but he smiled and wrote the first autograph for this mainland female book fan named Li Cuihua.

Later, after thinking about it carefully, Huadu has often dealt with foreign businessmen, and there are many relatives and friends in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so it is not outrageous to be able to get a romance.
