Chapter 941: The Third Business of the Saint Tang Company
Shao Ming's ability is indeed outstanding, much stronger than Lu Xiaoguang, he dared to take "Slam Dunk" alone to open the market in a country where he couldn't even understand the language, and he chose the "Young Hero" company as a partner, choosing the right partner will make you get twice the result with half the effort, but the key is that you have to choose accurately.
Shao Ming and Lu Xiaoguang are not yet thirty years old, and the employees of Jingxiagang are also about thirty years old, and the youngest is only twenty-four years old.
Liu Lang has already planned to set up Shengtang Comics Business Company when he goes back, and at the same time appoints Shao Ming as the general manager of the company, whose position is equal to Ye Jinsheng and Lucas.
At that time, Shengtang Company will have three relatively independent business departments, Shengtang Film and Television, Shengtang Music and Shengtang Comics, all of which are subordinate to Shengtang Company, but at the same time relatively independent, and can be spun off and listed in the future.
In fact, in addition to these three businesses, there is also an independent department, that is, Industrial Light & Magic, which was originally created by Lucas, Industrial Light & Magic has a special status, Cattermor and Cheng Xian are co-leaders, one is responsible for the production of computer special effects, and the other is responsible for the development of supporting software.
Industrial Light & Magic is managed by Liu Lang, and other departments only need to report to Lin Guodong.
In the eyes of others, Shengtang Film and Television and Shengtang Music are the two most profitable departments, in fact, more than ninety percent of the market value of more than one billion US dollars of Shengtang Company is contributed by these two departments, but Liu Lang clearly understands that industrial light and magic is the difference of Shengtang Company, creativity can be produced by everyone, but technology is not everyone can have, no matter what industry, as long as you master the best technology in the world, it will be invincible, this is the case in the machinery industry, and even more so in the entertainment industry, Industrial Light & Magic is now the world's best special effects company, and it will be the same in the future。
This time, Liu Lang's itinerary to the island country was very full, and the day after meeting with Gang Inoshita, Liu Lang came to an auditorium at the University of Tokyo, where a meeting of the "Slam Dunk" book club will be held.
More than half a month ago, Shao Ming told Jing Xiagang the news that Liu Lang was coming to the island country, Liu Lang was mainly here to meet with book fans, and the two of them had to do a lot of things, arrange venues, select book fans, and so on.
Liu Lang likes to be low-key, but it is very difficult to be low-key in this matter, because once the news of Liu Lang's coming to the island country spreads, I am afraid it will attract the attention of nearly 10 million fans of "Slam Dunk" in the island country.
When "Slam Dunk" began to sell well in the island country, many people were discussing who was Jimmy Liu, is it an American? Later, when the comic was released, Gang Inoshita specially wrote out the author's resume and told everyone that this Jimmy Liu is a Chinese, this news is too shocking, aren't the Chinese all a group of backward "primitive people"? How can such a classic story be created? In addition, all the place names involved in this comic are only found in the island country, what Xiangbei, Aichi Prefecture and so on, can a Chinese understand so clearly?
Although everyone didn't believe it, no one except this Jimmy Liu came forward to say that this comic was their own work, and in the eyes of most fans, the author of "Slam Dunk" is an unknown and mysterious character.
The author himself caused controversy in the island country and was a huge gimmick, so when Gang Inoshita publicized that the author was coming to the island country to hold a book club, a large number of book fans wanted to see the honor of this mysterious figure and see if he was Chinese.
Liu Lang wanted to keep a low profile, but the number of participants could still be controlled, and then Gang Underground thought of a way to set up this book fan meeting in a library of the University of Tokyo, this library can accommodate more than 500 people, not the largest library in the school, so the limited number of people, more than 500 people is not a lot, but it is insignificant compared to millions of book lovers, who can participate has to be selected.
Over the past year, the "Young Hero" company has received nearly 10,000 letters from book fans, so many letters may not even be read by others, but Gang Inoshita is not, when he is fine, he takes the staff to look through these letters, and also records some useful proposals, although it is not possible to reply to every letter, but ten letters always have to reply to the previous letter.
Those who were able to participate in the book club were selected from these book lovers, a total of 400 people, and the remaining more than 100 places were given to fans of the University of Tokyo, you must know that the most popular fans of the comic "Slam Dunk" are high school students and college students, according to incomplete statistics, there are more than 1,000 fans of "Slam Dunk" in the University of Tokyo.
Liu Lang went to the door of the library of the University of Tokyo accompanied by Gang Underground and others, and hundreds of people were already gathered outside the door, they were waiting to enter the venue, and as soon as Liu Lang and others got out of the car, someone recognized Gang Inoshita, and then they were surrounded by a group of people, including reporters with cameras.
"Mr. Well, who is Jimmy Liu?"
One man shouted.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, you must keep order!"
Tsuyoshi Inoshita shouted with a smile as he looked at the enthusiastic book lovers.
"Guys, I'm Jimmy Liu, the author of "Slam Dunk!"
Liu Lang stood up and greeted everyone.
"You're a child!"
The "Young Hero" company made Liu Lang a young genius when it was publicized, of course, in fact, it was also true, but there was not much description of the details, what was admitted to college at the age of three, and the "fantasy" thing of studying in the United States at the age of five was not written, only said that Liu Lang is ten years old this year, with an extraordinary mind, this cartoon was created by him independently, and no one else participated.
Well, the gimmick of being ten years old is enough to hang everyone's appetite, and now this child is standing in front of everyone, how can the other party let Liu Lang go?
"Did you write it? Are you Chinese?"
"Do you speak the language of our country?"
"Have you ever been to our country?"
All at once all the questions popped up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impulsive, Mr. Jimmy will answer these questions one by one in a while, everyone get out of the way and let us in!"
Gang was sweating all over the ground, and the scene seemed to be about time and space.
"Don't worry, I promise to give you a perfect answer to these questions in a while!"
Liu Lang also shouted loudly.
"Liu Lang, follow me!"
Sun Hu rushed over at this time, protecting Liu Lang behind him, and Shao Ming and Lu Xiaoguang were next to him, Sun Hu rushed in front, pulling Liu Lang with one hand, and constantly pushing the people in front of him away with the other, and rushed out while the people behind him had not yet surrounded him, and found a door and went in without saying anything, and Gang also followed in with his employees.
