Chapter 25 Full Production
Friday, October 12.
Today is the finale of "Hulu Brothers" and the release of the second issue of "Go Boy".
Early in the morning, there were queues in front of major bookstores, waiting to buy "Hulu Brothers" and "Go Boy".
Chen Xixiang, who finally bought "Hulu Brothers" and "Go Boy", came out of the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xixiang is a 14-year-old second-year student (equivalent to the second year of junior high school), and unlike other people of the same year, he doesn't like to read martial arts cartoons that fight and kill, so he rarely read comics before.
However, since he saw "Hulu Brothers" in the newspaper, he bought one out of curiosity and found that it was completely different from those comics on the market. Since then, I have been obsessed with the battle of wits between the gourd baby and the snake and scorpion, and every issue of "Gourd Brothers" will not fall. Even if he was ridiculed for being naΓ―ve by some classmates, he didn't care about it, but fortunately, after his mission, many other people in the class liked "Hulu Brothers", and they formed a small group together.
Later, when he learned that the author of "Hulu Brothers" had released another comic "Go Boy", he immediately got into it again, and then he also liked this comic. And I was surprised by Wu Ming's genius that he could draw two such good-looking comics, and since then he has become a die-hard fan of Wu Ming.
Today is the finale of "Hulu Brothers", and of course Chen Xixiang will not be left behind.
Chen Xixiang walked towards the school and watched "Hulu Brothers" with it.
"Damn the goblin, he actually used poisonous juice to confuse the mind of the seven babies. The seven gourd babies have been caught, what else can be done to defeat the goblins?"
As the pages of the book turned, Chen Xixiang gritted his teeth and cursed the two demons of the snake and scorpion from time to time. When I saw that the old man sacrificed himself to save the gourd babies, I couldn't help but have red eyes.
After reading the whole book, I breathed a sigh of relief. sighed: "After all, evil prevails over good." β
Then I changed to "Go Boy" and continued to read it. Seeing Jiang Liuer and Liu Nanru fighting in the air, he was also excited. It's good to fantasize that you have such a strong ability.
After arriving at the school, Chen Xixiang couldn't wait to discuss the plots of the two comics with his peers.
"Qiwa's purple gourd is too powerful, there is nothing he can't receive. β
"Of course, didn't you see that it said that this is the purple gold divine gourd used by the Heavenly Taishang Laojun to cultivate the elixir. β
β¦β¦
In the evening, the Order of the Phoenix counted sales, and there was another round of cheers.
"Hulu Brothers" sold 150,000 copies on the first day, and the total sales in the next few days are estimated to exceed 200,000 copies.
As for "Go Boy", the sales on the first day only reached more than 80,000 copies, and the total sales are estimated to be only about 150,000 copies more than last time. After all, the people who buy these comics are children, and most of them don't have that much money to buy two copies at the same time, but cooperate to buy one copy and read it interchangeably.
It is only those children or adults from wealthy families who buy two comics at the same time.
So it's also very good that "Go Boy" has such sales.
When Wu Ming received these news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. In the past few days, in order to raise money, he has tried his best. Now you can draw 1 million Hong Kong dollars from the Order of the Phoenix.
The night before yesterday, Wu Ming, Wu Bing'an and Huo Jianning discussed the OEM production of electronic pet machines.
Dad Wu Bing'an took the design of the electronic pet machine and asked the master in the factory, and the company is fully capable of producing electronic pet machines, and there is no problem at all. I also agreed to help Xingchen Entertainment Game Company OEM production, and also very generously waived the OEM fee of Xingchen Entertainment, and only charged the cost.
After all, he is helping his son's company to OEM, and now that the Rubik's Cube is selling so hot, Wu Bingan no longer takes that small OEM fee in his eyes.
Even so, the cost is not a small amount. After all, Wu Ming's order for electronic pet machines is 100,000 sets, even if the material cost of each electronic pet machine is only about a few dozen Hong Kong dollars, Xingchen Entertainment will have to hand over the cost of millions of Hong Kong dollars to Duole Toys Company. Fortunately, it was a family, and Wu Bingan promised Wu Ming that he could pay this fee whenever he wanted.
The day after the discussion, the electronic pet machine was put into production, and an average of several thousand electronic pet machines can be produced every day. In less than a month, the order can be completed.
At the same time, the arcade machines of "Great Wall Cube" and "Snake" were also produced by an electronics factory the day before yesterday, but the discussion here did not go very well.
First of all, many of those electronics factories had no experience in OEM arcade machines, and in the end, Huo Jianning had to let the skilled workers and even some technology developers in the company teach them how to produce arcade machines.
Again, the cost of an arcade machine is about 4,000 Hong Kong dollars. Those electronics factories have no experience in producing arcade machines, and the cost is even more. And the electronics factories also want to make a profit, so the last arcade machine has to pay 5,500 Hong Kong dollars to those electronics factories. 2,000 arcade machines is 11 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small amount.
Now Xingchen Entertainment can't come up with so much money, and those electronics factories are also worried, even if it shows that Xingchen Entertainment Game Company is Wu Ming's company, it's useless. So in the end, I had to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand every day. Even so, those electronics factories were a little worried, and yesterday they only produced more than forty arcade machines.
Wu Ming was also worried in order to be able to raise enough funds as soon as possible so that the electronics factory could produce quickly.
The funds that were transferred from the Order of the Phoenix a while ago are now being spent in the game hall. Although the profit of the game hall is not low, and the three of them add up to 30,000 or 40,000 Hong Kong dollars every day, but it is far from being able to solve the fire.
Wu Ming sighed at the time: "This is the disadvantage of doing whatever comes to mind, one hammer in the east and one hammer in the west, and you have to have a plan to do things in the future." It can't be like this time, with no distinction between priorities and priorities, and some funds must be set aside just in case. β
After that, Wu Ming asked Huo Jianning not to add new arcade machines to his Galaxy Century video game city, and all the arcade machines produced were sold to the owners of other game halls and those gang members who had long wanted to buy.
The price of each arcade machine is 12,000 Hong Kong dollars, and an arcade machine Xingchen Entertainment can earn 6,500 Hong Kong dollars, and yesterday's arcade machines were sold, and finally earned nearly 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. And then all that money was put into production.
Now that we have the funds, we can get those electronics factories to work at full capacity, and it is estimated that they can produce one hundred and twenty or thirty arcade machines a day.
Thinking about it, Wu Ming picked up the phone and dialed Huo Jianning's home.
"Hey, Uncle Jianning, I'm Xiao Ming. β
"Well, I am. Is there something wrong with Xiao Ming?"
Wu Ming said: "Uncle Jianning, you go to the Phoenix Society tomorrow to find Uncle Zhang and get another 1 million Hong Kong dollars, all of which will be spent on the production of arcade machines." β
Huo Jianning, who was opposite, smiled and said, "Now, Brother Zhang is going to complain to me again." Ever since your comics sold out, their Order of the Phoenix has been giving us Star Entertainment a blood transfusion. Now facing Brother Zhang, I'm really a little embarrassed. β
Wu Ming replied: "What's this, when the time comes, Xingchen Entertainment will make more money." Tomorrow, Uncle Jianning, you will also find the media to promote our arcade machine more, and now our company will become popular with this one. β
"Understood, in addition, do you want to tell the media about you being the boss of our Star Entertainment Game Company and the game developers of "Great Wall Cube" and "Snake". β
"Tell them what's so bad about it. I also want to expose Xingchen Entertainment more, so that no one knows about our company. The reputation is loud, and more people come to buy our arcade machines of Star Entertainment. β
Huo Jianning said with a smile: "Then this time I will borrow Xiao Ming's east wind, and they will be stunned again." β
"That's it, bye!"
"Bye-bye!"
Wu Bing'an, a father who was sitting on the side watching TV, saw his son hang up the phone, was a little worried, and asked: "Doesn't it matter if you invest all your funds in the arcade in this way? β
Wu Ming smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, Dad." The arcade machines produced by our company are very popular, and the next time you go to the Galaxy Century Video Game City under Star Entertainment, you will know it. Every day when it's full, those arcades never stop. How could "The Great Wall Cube" and "Snake" not sell?"
Wu Bingan saw that his son looked like he was swearing, and he also let go of the worries in his heart. His son has not failed for a while, and the gentleman's agreement has already been won by his son, but he didn't mention it for fear of his own face.
"Yang Dalong and Liao Qiang have already been trained, and the foreign bodyguards have also been found. β
Wu Ming was very surprised when he heard his father's words, and said, "Dad, your news came at the right time." I need security guards to watch the arcades. Wait a minute, Dad, I'll go get something. β
After speaking, Wu Ming ran towards the room like a gust of wind.
After a while, Wu Ming ran out of the room, still holding a stack of papers in his hand.
Wu Ming, who sat down again, handed the document in his hand to Wu Bing'an and said, "This is the plan I made for the security company in the future, you can take a look." β
Wu Bingan took the document and looked at it carefully. This document clearly states the rules and regulations and treatment of the security company in the future.
Of course, there are some things that Wu Ming did not write on these papers.
For example, the fact that Wu Ming was preparing to build a mercenary army was not written on it. He was going to discuss it privately with the people in the security company, and he didn't want his father Wu Bing'an to know. After all, my father came from the mainland, and he didn't have the kind of advanced thinking that suggested a small private army.
A quarter of an hour later, Wu Bingan read the entire document.
"It seems that son, you have been thinking about this security company for a long time, and you will still be in charge of this company in the future. Tomorrow, I will let Yang Dalong and Liao Qiang come to you, and you can arrange it however you want!"
