Chapter 679: Occupy the market of the island nation

Wen Mingqi saw that Liu Lang's understanding of gangsters coincided with him, and this depth of looking at the problem made Wen Mingqi feel incredible, as if the other party had the same experience as himself.

"Our comics can expand our business, not only limited to Transformers and Slam Dunk, but also to absorb all kinds of good works.

The local comics on Hong Kong Island are very good, we can buy their copyrights and sign contracts with them in the form of shares, not only the comics on Hong Kong Island, I think the comics of the island countries are also very good, and even their comics industry can rank first in the world because they have a large number of cartoonists......... If they can do this, why can't we? If they can't, we will dig up the excellent authors of the island countries......... Everyone must remember that our Shengtang culture will do its best, and becoming the world's first is our goal!"

Now Shengtang Culture has three businesses, comics, movies and song records, comics are the best developed, and there is a faint trend of competing with Marvel and DC, mainly relying on the image of Transformers, but in Liu Lang's view, it is far from enough, in the future, animation IP is a huge market, what Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Naruto, etc., which one is not popular in the world? If they all become the image of Shengtang, then they will make a lot of money.

Everyone nodded after listening to Liu Lang's words, this goal is indeed very big, if it was placed a year ago, they might have doubts, but now it is different, the popularity of Transformers in the world has given everyone confidence.

Marvel is the No. 1 comic book company in the United States? Can't we replace them? In terms of circulation, the two are actually not far behind, maybe in another year or two they will surpass each other.

The results are more effective than any rhetoric, and the Shengtang company has only been established for a few years?

In fact, if you count the record business of Shengtang Company, the company's sales have surpassed that of Marvel and DC, but the comics, movies and record businesses are settled separately and have little relationship with each other, and Lu Xiaoguang and they don't know how much the company's record business has achieved.

"Brother Wen, you and I now appoint you as the deputy general manager of the Hong Kong Island branch, in charge of the local comic business on Hong Kong Island, responsible for the development of local comics on Hong Kong Island, as long as you meet potential cartoonists, you can join our Shengtang, if you have your own works, it would be better, in short, remember my words, Shengtang Company needs more talents, as long as you really have the ability, no matter how many people we want!"

Liu Lang made Wen Mingqi the deputy general manager of the Hong Kong Island branch and the first deputy general manager of the Hong Kong Island branch.

Wen Mingqi was a little excited, he was naturally happy to be promoted when he met the big boss for the first time, and what made him even happier was that his work was recognized, and he had to set up a separate project, which was the biggest affirmation for him.

Liu Lang has the impression that there are still some good works in Hong Kong Island comics, "Crazy Boy" is one, as well as "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Hua Hero" and "Fengyun", etc., although the influence of these works is not as good as the works of the island country, but it is also excellent.

After explaining these things, everyone discussed the work of Slam Dunk again, and now the storyline of the comic has been determined, the drafts of the first five episodes have been completed, and the issue numbers have come down, and they will be released nationwide as soon as Liu Lang confirms it.

Liu Lang basically didn't have much change to this work, that is, some of the language was more funny, and the movements of the characters were more exaggerated, which were all minor changes and didn't take much effort.

"Okay, this year's task is this slam dunk, for the time being, it is once every half a month, my goal is to release 500,000 copies this year, and 1.5 million copies next year, and Brother Shao, you go back to Hong Kong Island to contact the Sun family, this comic will not only be distributed in China and Hong Kong Island, but also to the island country, remember, the island market is the second only market for this comic to our country, we must capture them!"

Liu Lang is not ashamed of plagiarizing their works, but this comic set a record in the island Congress, the previous life of Slam Dunk began to be released in the early nineties, and the circulation in fifteen years was nearly 200 million copies, such a result is about to become a Guinness record, this life Slam Dunk has become his own work, so the huge market of course cannot be missed.

"Mr. Liu, don't worry, I will contact the Sun family when I return to Hong Kong Island!"

Shao Ming nodded immediately, Liu Lang spoke in person, and the Sun family had to do their best.

Everyone chatted and chatted about it, and it was time for lunch to eat, Mu Xiaohu made a phone call to transfer the other two cars, and pulled everyone to Wangfujing Hotel, Liu Lang had a treat at noon today.

Today's Wangfujing has been very different, nearly 1,000 old buildings have disappeared, a large area of vacant land has appeared construction machinery, in a year or two that Liu Lang designed the "China Town" will stand up, become the capital's new landmark.

The Wangfujing Hotel has not yet moved, and they have signed an agreement with the Huo family that the Huo family will build a new hotel for them, which is much larger than it is now.

Everyone walked into the hotel immediately felt a burst of coolness, it is now August, the summer of the capital can be hot to death, Wangfujing Hotel pressed the air conditioner, many people will come here to eat at noon in order to escape the summer, not Wangfujing Hotel is rich, now the hotel belongs to the public-private partnership, it is a collective enterprise, now more and more people open the hotel, the business of the hotel is not good, the Wangfujing Hotel is also very uncomfortable, can only continue to improve, they are richer than those private hotels, so they install air conditioning, individual restaurants can only install electric fans if they can't afford to buy air conditioners。

Summer is better, a lot of people who go to Wangfujing restaurant to eat are to escape the heat, they order a bowl of noodles can eat for an hour, but in winter it is not done, the business immediately depressed a lot, not that they do not do well, but the price is very expensive, much more expensive than individual restaurants, ordinary people want to improve their lives will never come here to eat, only the guests will go to this kind of place, according to this development, Wangfujing will be yellow sooner or later, the public-private partnership system is not suitable for the development of the hotel at all.

"Liu Lang, the hotel is equipped with Gemei air conditioners, and they bought five of them last year!"

Mu Xiaohu pointed to a corner, Liu Lang looked at it as if it was Gemei air conditioner, and now Gemei air conditioner is very popular in China, basically occupying the air conditioning market, so what "Philips" and "Toshiba" These foreign brands are very uncomfortable, the reason is very simple, the price of independent brands is much cheaper, and the quality is no less than foreign products, in addition to the appearance of the air conditioner is very fashionable, better than foreign brands, such air conditioning is not hot, last year Gemei air conditioner sold more than 10,000 units, especially in the last three months sold more than 5,000 units, who makes the temperature in the capital hot this year! This sales volume accounts for almost half of the share of the domestic market, if it is also this share in 30 years, then Gemei air conditioner will definitely become the world's top 500, but now ordinary people can not afford it, the price of a Gemei air conditioner is about 3,000 yuan, it is already very cheap, more than twice as cheap as foreign brands, only those government agencies and large state-owned enterprises will buy.
