Chapter 55: $3.55 Billion Business
"Willy, how much information did you collect on the list I gave you the other day?"
"It's being collected, it's going to take a while. ”
"Well, collect the information as soon as possible, you can recruit a few more employees, get Sunlight Film and Television Company on the right track as soon as possible, and after a while, it is likely that you will have to cooperate with MGM, and don't make jokes when the time comes. ”
"Boss, please rest assured, I will definitely do a good job of Sunlight Film and Television Company as soon as possible. ”
……
Xu Qing hung up the phone and rubbed his brows with a headache, he was now skeptical of Willy's ability, but it was really useless.
Those managers of the Sunlight Group are either doing their jobs very well, and Xu Qing doesn't want to transfer these people to Sunlight Film and Television Company.
Either there are some aspects that do not quite meet Xu Qing's requirements, such as being too jumpy and not loyal enough, Xu Qing is not at ease to hand over the sunlight film and television company to these people.
Because the main business of sunlight film and television company is currently investing in film and television, there will be a lot of funds under its control.
And investment is very easy to produce all kinds of greasy business, as long as the management of Sunlight Film and Television Company casually does it, it can make the funds "normal" less.
It is impossible for Xu Qing to focus his work on Sunlight Film and Television Company now, so he can only find the relatively loyal Willy to be the general manager of Sunlight Film and Television Company.
The vibration on his feet interrupted Xu Qing's contemplation, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Black Bean biting a flying saucer and placing it on his foot.
Black Bean jumped on the sofa and got into Xu Qing's arms, Xu Qing helplessly picked up Black Bean: "Okay, I'll play with you." ”
Since Black Bean was adopted by Xu Qing, Xu Qing has to spend a certain amount of time playing with Black Bean every day, otherwise Black Bean will look at Xu Qing with his very innocent eyes.
Sometimes Xu Qing is tired from work, and when he returns to the villa, he lies down and rests, forgetting to play with Hei Dou, who is not noisy or noisy, and also lies down in Xu Qing's room to rest, accompanying Xu Qing.
The spirituality shown by the black beans surprised Xu Qing, and among the dogs Xu Qing had seen, the spirituality of the black beans was the best.
Xu Qing thought about whether to ask someone to train black beans specifically, so that the spirituality of black beans could be fully brought into play.
However, every time he saw Black Bean's carefree villa playing, Xu Qing gave up this idea and let Black Bean live happily, after all, those trainings were still quite painful.
Coming to the grass of the villa, Xu Qing repeated the action of throwing the flying saucer that he had done hundreds of times, and threw the flying saucer into the distance.
As soon as the flying saucer left Xu Qing's hand, the black bean turned into a bolt of lightning, quickly caught up with the flying saucer, and then waited for the flying saucer to fall, bite, returned, and handed the flying saucer to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing threw the flying saucer a few more times, but the black bean was still able to catch up with the flying saucer before it landed.
"Xu, the speed of the black bean is too fast, now it is still a half-grown dog, and when it reaches adulthood, the speed will increase by a level, and the black bean at that time should be the fastest German shepherd I have ever seen. ”
Carlyle stood on the side of the grass, watching the interaction between Xu Qing and Black Bean, and couldn't help but say something.
"Is Black Bean so fast? The Navy SEALs should have German Shepherd-trained military dogs, and Black Beans are faster than them?"
Xu Qing knew that the speed of black beans was very fast, but he was still surprised when he heard Carlyle's evaluation of the speed of black beans, black beans had not undergone any professional training, and they could compare to those military dogs.
"The speed of black beans is not as fast as those military dogs of the Leopard Commandos, but I think the speed of black beans in adulthood will be faster than them, I believe in my vision. Carlyle replied with a firm expression.
"It seems that my black beans are really powerful, come on, black beans, thank you Uncle Carlyle for complimenting you. Xu Qing pointed at Carlyle and said to Black Bean.
Black Bean immediately ran towards Carlyle, and before Carlyle could react, Black Bean had already put his two paws on Carlyle's clean black suit pants.
Carlyle looked at the excited Black Bean, and wanted to cry without tears, so he could only gently put the black bean's paw on the ground, and as he expected, two gray paw prints appeared on his clean pants.
"Xu, I'm complimenting Black Bean, how can you let Black Bean put its paw on my pants?" Carlyle pointed at Xu Qing angrily.
"Haha, I didn't let Black Bean put its paws on your pants, this is its thanks to you, as for whether you accept this way of thanking or not, it's none of my business. ”
Xu Qing looked at the two obvious paw prints on Carlyle's pants and laughed.
"Xu, you're amazing. Carlyle was depressed.
Xu Qing and Heidou then played for a while, then went to the pool for a swim for ten minutes, and returned to the living room to watch TV.
Xu Qing's life is leisurely and interesting, occasionally going to work in the company, going to school, playing with black beans more time, and going to various regions of California.
This was the end of a little over a month, as Eben gave him a stack of materials on the worldwide sales of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is selling well worldwide, and with sales in the United States, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has sold more than 35 million copies and has a certain reputation around the world.
It's time to start the second part of a one-year, $300 million plan.
The protagonist of the second plan is Xu Qing's famous electronic pet in his previous life, also known as Tamagotchi, Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine, and Takuma Gezi.
Its developer, Bandai Corporation, was selling the electronic pet as a generic product, and at a time when Bandai was in financial distress and was already considering merging with Sega.
As a result, as soon as the electronic pet was released, it quickly became popular all over the world, and in a short period of time, Bandai made hundreds of millions of dollars, and the stock also rose, so Bandai suspended the plan to merge with Sega.
The New York Times used the word "invasion" to describe the popularity of cyber pets: they are almost ubiquitous and always snap up quickly as soon as they hit the shelves.
In order to be able to buy an electronic pet, many Japanese girls exchange their bodies for money, and then go to buy electronic pets.
Later, Bandai calculated that the global sales of the first generation of electronic pets reached more than 40 million, and the global sales of all series of electronic pets reached 70 million.
Note that this is the number of electronic pets sold by Bandai itself.
The number of counterfeits of electronic pets is far greater than that of Bandai itself, and according to incomplete statistics, the number of genuine and copycats exceeds 200 million.
Bandai's electronic pets are quoted at around $25 on average, and knockoffs are cheaper at around $15.
Taken together, the unit price is $20, and then multiplied by the number of 200 million, the sales are $4 billion.
$4 billion, that's what an e-pet is worth.
Although this $4 billion was created by the sale of electronic pets for more than a decade.
But the most popular time for the cyberpet was in the first two years of its release, and most of the $4 billion was created in those two years.
Cyber pets are a wonder in the history of gaming!
