Chapter 820: There is too much piracy in the country

"Mr. Liu, your translation level is too professional, even the island people feel incredible, they see the translated place names and think that the author is a native, when I tell them that you are a standard Chinese, they don't believe it, so these people want to invite you to the island country, to see you with your own eyes, but I stopped them, so many things in the Shengtang company need you to deal with, where will they talk nonsense with them?"

Shao Ming then spoke.

"Brother Shao, the market in the island country is very important, I will find time to go there......... Well, I'm afraid I won't have time this year, so next year, I'll be in the island country early next year and spend a little more time there!"

What the island country must go to is not for publicity, but to make money, or to make a lot of money, there will be a financial crisis in the island country in 90 years, and the stock market and real estate will evaporate most of them overnight, which is a big disaster for the people of the island country, but it is a good opportunity for people like Liu Lang to make a fortune.

When he first arrived in the United States, he gambled with $1 million that the Dow Jones plummeted by 500 points and became a multimillionaire.

Liu Lang can make it again in the same way, and this time it is not tens of millions, and he must earn hundreds of millions to stop.

In fact, now Liu Lang has begun to transfer some American funds to the island countries, because the relationship between the United States and the island countries is very close, so this process is easy and will not be difficult.

In fact, in the past few years, some investors have also noticed that the island country's economy is in trouble, and the real estate and financial sectors are overheating, which in turn has led to a large increase in bubbles in the stock market.

However, the stock market crash in the United States two years ago also caused heavy losses to the island countries, and the Nikkei index plummeted by more than 300 points in one day, but in less than half a year, the stock market of the island countries began to rise again, which made many people regain optimism.

"We must not be slack off on the island country, we must ensure the quality, I will stay in China for the time being from now on, so I must proofread the new comic books myself!

"What? Mr. Liu, you're not going back to the United States?"

Everyone present was taken aback.

"My studies have been completed, and I will be in Fucheng for the next time, if you have something to do, you can call me directly, and go to me, just take the train for a day. ”

"That's great, so we can report back to you directly!"

Lu Xiaoguang and Shao Ming were very happy.

"Brother Lu, how is the domestic sales during this time?"

Liu Lang asked about domestic sales, and Lu Xiaoguang's face turned red when he heard it.

"Mr. Liu, there have been some problems with domestic sales in the past six months, a total of only 5.2 million copies have been sold, basically the same as the island country, but in fact, we have a very broad sales channel, covering more than a dozen provinces across the country, the population is much more than that of the island country, and the sales volume is not up because there are too many fakes, "Slam Dunk" has just been on the market for a month, and the pirated book has appeared on the market, and the price is five cents cheaper than ours.

In 86 years when the country promulgated the patent law, those piracy has violated the law, and we have also reported this matter to many departments, taking the capital as an example, the public security department is very supportive, and several piracy dens have been arrested, but the result is not very ideal, piracy is still rampant in the market, and in the end, even the police have no way to .........!"

Lu Xiaoguang was very ashamed when he reported his work, and felt that this matter had not been done well, and if there were no pirated books in the country, the sales of "Slam Dunk" comics might exceed 10 million.

"Oh, five million sales? What a surprise to me, not easy, not easy!"

Liu Lang also thought that it would be good to reach 2 million in China, but the result was much to his surprise, and he actually sold 5 million, which is a miracle in China, in a country full of piracy.

"Brother Lu, you don't have to blame yourself, piracy can't be solved in the short term in China, and it's useless for you to find the police, because there are too many pirated copies, and the police can't catch them, and even if they are caught, they will only be detained for more than ten days, and the cost of crime is too low to have a deterrent effect at all.

But this is only a superficial reason, in the final analysis, the living standards of the people in our country are not high, our comics cost a piece of six, piracy is cheaper than ours five cents, these five cents can buy half a catty of rice, you can also buy a piece of meat, if your monthly income is only more than two hundred yuan, will you be willing to spend more than five cents?

The main reason why it can sell 5 million copies is that this comic is very well made, some readers not only like to read it, but also treat these comics as collectibles, and the production effect of those pirated books is very poor, and the copy is messy, that is, it is just a fun look, so you can do it now, I am already very satisfied!"

Liu Lang will not complain about the other party, in fact, he did not have the purpose of making money in the domestic market, that money is a small amount of money for the current Shengtang, his purpose is to make young people love basketball and other sports, if he achieves this goal, he will be satisfied.

"Brother Lu, are there many people playing basketball in the capital during this time?"

Liu Lang asked.

"Playing basketball? I haven't paid attention to that!"

Lu Xiaoguang is busy every day, all year round is either on Hong Kong Island or in the capital, or he will go to Shanghai, not to mention anything else, the cost of air tickets alone is as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which means that Shengtang Company, the cost of air tickets alone for other companies can make it bankrupt, so busy, where do you have time to go to the street to see if anyone is playing basketball?

"Well, forget it, I've got time to go out on the streets!"

Next, Wen Mingqi also reported on his work on Hong Kong Island, his main task is the drawing of local comics on Hong Kong Island, the previous life of the "Crazy Boy" has begun to be produced, the first issue was published and sold a month ago, and more than 20,000 copies were sold in the first month, of course, it can't be compared with Transformers, but it is very good for local comics on Hong Kong Island.

It can be said that now the comic business of Shengtang Company is definitely the well-deserved leader in East Asia, and the two comics "Transformers" and "Slam Dunk" alone are several times more than the total sales of other comic companies.

What's even more terrifying is that Saint Tang's comic book business accounts for only a small part of all Saint Tang's business, and Saint Tang's music and film companies are the big ones, bringing Saint Tang more than $700 million in profits in a year, especially "Baby One More Time" and "Toy Story" , the former's sales have exceeded 10 million, bringing nearly 200 million US dollars, and the latter is even more fierce, the global box office has exceeded 400 million US dollars, and the peripheral products are also extremely popular, and it is still continuing, and there is no problem at all for the total box office to exceed 500 million US dollars by the end of the year.
