Chapter 1004: The Center of the Asian Comics Industry

This meal was eaten for more than two hours, which was nothing for the young man, but it was a little long for Mr. Shao, and the old man's face had become slightly red at this time, obviously he had drunk too much, but his interest was not reduced, and he had to continue to chat.

"Old gentleman, it's not too early, you also have to rest, you can live past one hundred and five years old, so we have a chance, this time it's over, come, you help the old gentleman down to rest!"

Others didn't dare to dissuade him, but Liu Lang dared.

"Okay, okay, what are you talking about, come, help me up!"

The servant standing behind hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old gentleman up.

"You all keep eating and drinking! I'm getting older, and I really need to rest, so I'll go sleep for a while!"

The master left, and everyone chatted for a while, and those who were not familiar with Liu Lang before had already found that this little child was very kind and forward-looking, and the name of genius was worthy of the name.

After eating, Liu Lang immediately left the Shao family, and then went directly to the Hong Kong Island Branch of Shengtang Company with Lu Xiaoguang, and now the Hong Kong Island Branch is full of talents, with more than 20 employees, the author of the Crazy Boy comic "Niu Lao" serves as the deputy manager, and there is also a deputy manager, called Ma Rongcheng, about 30 years old, who only joined the Shengtang Company last year, but he is not a newcomer with no qualifications.

This Ma Rongcheng was born in 61, loved painting since he was a child, and stepped into the comic industry at the age of 14. In 82, he joined the comic industry and began to write a comic, which is called "Chinese Hero".

That's right, this comic was later turned into a movie, Liu Lang read it when he was in college in his previous life, and one of the leading actors, Xie Tingfeng, had just debuted at that time.

In '83, "Chinese Heroes" became one of the best-selling comic books in Hong Kong, and he himself became a well-known comic master on Hong Kong Island.

If there was no Shengtang Company, Ma Rongcheng would normally set up a comic company by himself, and then he would release a series of best-selling comics, one of which is called "Fengyun", but Shengtang Company was born, "Transformers" and "Slam Dunk" two comics swept the Hong Kong Island comic market, especially "Slam Dunk", which became the best-selling comic on Hong Kong Island for 12 consecutive months, leaving other works far behind.

Ma Rongcheng these local cartoonists are simply unable to compete with Shengtang, not that the quality of comic works is not good, if Shengtang Company only has a comic business, they are not afraid, after all, the other party has only two works so far, this market is still very huge, but Shengtang's comic business is only a small part, movies and records are the big head, especially the record business, when Ades's single sold five million chapters on Hong Kong Island, much higher than the local stars, relying on the release of the record and Ye Jinsheng's vigorous promotion, Shengtang's branch on Hong Kong Island overshadowed any comic company, and they couldn't raise their heads。

Shengtang company is getting bigger and bigger, put forward the strategy of comic localization, vigorously recruit employees locally, if there are better works, you can also share with the company, that is, the company is responsible for publishing and publicity, and everyone is divided in half of the money earned, which gives those capable comic lovers a dream, they run to Shengtang with their own works, hoping to be favored, of course, these works are to be screened, by Lu Xiaoguang and "Niu Laoer" and other managers personally screened, can obtain the publication qualification is very few, but even this is not other companies can compare, now the Hong Kong Island branch has five comics have been established, these comics of course can not do the "Slam Dunk" like the results, but the dream realization is no wealth can compare.

In fact, this can be regarded as Shengtang Company's support for local comics on Hong Kong Island, and Liu Lang hopes to make Hong Kong Island a place that can be compared with island comics.

The growth of Shengtang Company attracted this Ma Rongcheng, because he was already a famous local cartoonist on Hong Kong Island, Shao Ming discussed with Lu Xiaoguang and several others, and decided to make an exception to make him the deputy general manager of the Hong Kong Island Branch of Shengtang Company.

This Ma Rongcheng is not yet thirty years old this year, and he is also respectful when he sees Liu Lang, this can't be helped, don't look at Liu Lang's young age, comic works are popular throughout Southeast Asia, especially "Slam Dunk", which buys one million copies on Hong Kong Island every year, and even more fierce in island countries, up to seven million copies a year, the results speak for themselves, and the total sales of his seven-year "Chinese Hero" to the present are not as good as the sales of "Slam Dunk" in one year, are you not convinced?

Liu Lang came to chat with everyone and said his expectation, that is, to build Hong Kong Island into a comic base in Asia, others say that it is a fantasy, but Sheng Tang is qualified to say so, so everyone is very excited and feels more motivated.

In the evening, Liu Lang invited everyone to the best restaurant for dinner, and engaged in a very successful "team building" activity.

The next night, Liu Lang had a meal at the invitation of Hua Han, Hua Han was once the leader of the "gang", but he also received a good education since he was a child, and he spoke very gracefully.

Liu Lang knows that the other party will become an entrepreneur in the future, no matter what his background is, at least the country recognizes him, since the country recognizes it, of course Liu Lang will try his best to have a good relationship with him, Hua Han is even more happy to make friends with Liu Lang this time, and feels that his waist will be harder from now on, and Liu Lang also promised that the two sides can cooperate on a few movies when they have time.

Liu Lang stayed on Hong Kong Island for four days, four days later, Jiang Botao led the team of entrepreneurs back to Hong Kong Island, after the large army gathered and took the plane back to the capital, at this time it was less than 20 days away from the New Year, from the airport back to the city on the way to pass by the Asian Games Village under construction, although it is almost the New Year, and it is winter, but the construction site is still busy everywhere.

This year's Asian Games will be held in the capital, which is the first time that the country has hosted a large-scale sports meeting, and it is a great opportunity to demonstrate national strength, and the country attaches great importance to it.

With seven months to go until the Asian Games, a large number of venues have basically been built, and only some finishing touches have been done on the construction site.

Jiang Botao looked at the construction site in the distance and was very emotional.

"The country is really strong, we will hold the Asian Games this year, and in three years we will win the opportunity to host the Olympic Games, once successful, then our country will usher in the Olympic Games in ten years, and then our country will be even stronger!"

Liu Lang nodded when he heard this, the country in the previous life lost in the competition for the 2,000-year-old Olympic Games, and he didn't know what the result of this life was.

Maybe it will be successful in this life, after all, Liu Lang believes that the national strength in ten years will be much stronger than in the previous life.
