Chapter 6 Zhang Heng's first golden cow
Since he met Zhao Yazhi yesterday, Zhang Heng has been full of motivation, and after coming back last night, Zhang Heng sorted out the memory month in his mind.
Zhang Heng found that there were really a lot of major events happening in China this year
On January 8, Premier Zhou passed away
Zhang Wentian passed away on July 1
On July 6, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De died
On September 9, Taizu passed away
Ten years of turmoil ended, the chief designer ascended to the Tangshan earthquake, and the Northeast meteorite rain ............
But there is very little about making money, and now it is 1976, several years before the oil crisis of '98.
It has been three years since the last financial crisis, and now Hong Kong is about to enter an era of great development, especially real estate, which is rising rapidly, but real estate is a battlefield of capital, and it is not enough to go in and stuff others' teeth.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally had an idea
Zhang Heng, who has the vision of his previous life, found that not only novels can be serialized, but also anime can be serialized in the form of magazines, thinking back to Transformers, Dragon Ball, and Saint Seiya...... 's ability to absorb gold, which is tens of billions of profits, are calculated in dollars.
Moreover, at the end of last year, Xiangjiang passed and issued the "Bad Publications Law" because of pornographic books, which dealt a devastating blow to the comic industry.
There should be many magazine printing houses facing the problem of bankruptcy, and you can buy one at a low price.
In this way, the cost of running a comic magazine by yourself should not be high.
The first step in deciding to do so was to start with comics and make your first golden cow.
In the next few days, Zhang Heng ran around, ran through most of Xiangjiang, and found a magazine that suited him.
"Ancient Style Magazine", this ancient style magazine includes the ancient style magazine, the ancient style printing factory, and a 3,000-square-foot shop with three floors, editors, painters, printers, and sales channels in the magazine...... Everything but the kitchen sink.
The key is that Wu Zhibin, the owner of the magazine, was anxious to go over to live with his son because his son settled in the United States, and the magazine was in a recession, so he wanted to sell the magazine in a package. After a few days of bargaining, it was finally agreed that Zhang Heng spent 1.5 million to sell the magazine.
The price of cabbage is right, and in another five years, these 10 million plots alone may not be able to get down.
The next day, Zhang Heng ran to the Oriental Daily Building and overdrew 1.5 million remuneration from the Oriental Daily to complete the transaction.
Zhang Heng found a well-known agency company, spent 500 yuan to register a company called "Oriental Culture", and transferred the magazine to this company.
I spent another 200,000 yuan to ask this company to help me, and I ...... the Dragon Ball and Transformers I have drawn in the past few days and several other comics, and the characters have been registered and applied for copyright worldwide.
…………
…………
After two days of memories and "creation", Zhang Heng drew the first few volumes of the two comics, "Lap Pen Xiaoxin" and "Cherry Ball".
Zhang Heng took the first few volumes of these two books to the office building located in the center street of Wong Tai Sin District, which has now been renamed the Oriental Comic Society.
found Wang Cheng, the deputy manager of the magazine.
"Manager Wang, wait a minute, gather everyone for a meeting," Zhang Hengzao said on the boss's chair
"Okay," Wang Cheng said and went out to recruit employees
……
The conference room is not big, when Zhang Heng came to the conference room, everyone was there, and when everyone saw that their boss was so young, they all talked about it.
"Wow! The boss is so young! ”
"Wow! The boss is so handsome! ”
"Don't be a nymphomaniac, the boss is so young that I don't know if it's okay!"
…………
…………
Zhang Heng glanced at Wang Cheng
"Everyone, be quiet, and now I will invite our boss to speak." Wang Chu clapped his hands and said
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first, my surname is a constant name, I know that everyone thinks I am young, and I may not be reliable in doing things, but what I want to say here is that youth is not just what you imagine, young also represents youth, vitality, and momentum.................."
Next, Zhang Heng quoted various classics on the Internet in his previous life and gave a brainwashing speech for an hour, the effect was obvious, and everyone's eyes now looking at Zhang Heng were full of enthusiasm, except for a few old birds, of course.
"Please introduce yourself."
……
"Hello boss, I'm Wu Zhiming, the leader of the art team"
"Hello boss, I'm Liu Jiacheng, the head of the sales department"
"Hello boss, I'm ............"
After everyone's introduction, Zhang Hengda mastered the situation of the magazine.
Zhang Heng took out the two comics from his bag and said, "Next, everyone's work will focus on these two comics, let's take a look at them first, say what you have ideas, and discuss them."
Several team leaders took a look at it, and from their experience, they all thought it was very exciting and should sell well.
"Now that everyone has no objections, let's do our best to do a good job. If you sell well, your wages will increase. ”
When everyone heard this, they were full of enthusiasm
Manager Wang, wait a minute, Zhang Heng asked
"I heard that in the past, magazines had sales channels in Taiwan and Singapore, and you wanted to find a way to sell these two comics in these two places."
"Boss, this ...... Since the comics were improved last year, they haven't been selling well in Hong Kong, so the relationship between Taiwan and Singapore is not very connected, so I try to give it a try," Wang Cheng said
"Okay, you try to do it, if you get it done, there will be no problem with promotion and salary increase."
…………
When he returned home, Zhang Heng entered the writing of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", after all, he was still short of a large manuscript from Oriental Daily.
…………
After a period of uneventful days, it has come to December 1976, and it is not too far from the Spring Festival.
Zhang Heng has been in Xiangjiang for nearly three months. Early in the morning of the 25th, Wu Fei came to Zhang Heng again.
Seeing Wu Fei appear in front of him again, Zhang Heng said with some distress: "Brother Wu, it's useless for you to urge me, except for going to the toilet and eating, the rest of my time is spent writing." ”
Seeing Zhang Heng's appearance of wanting to drive people away, Wu Fei was also a little embarrassed. Regarding the book "The Legend of Datang Shuanglong", I really don't blame him for running diligently, at the end of last month, the serialization of "SH Beach" ended, and it was this "Legend of Datang Shuanglong" that took over
Unexpectedly, this book is even more popular than SH Tan, and now the sales of Oriental Daily have risen to 170,000 copies, all thanks to this novel. But as soon as he thought of this, Wu Fei remembered the gambling contract, and Wu Fei felt that he had agreed to it at that time!
…………
"Ah Heng, I came today to bring you good news, your copy of "SH Tan" has been published, and more than 100,000 copies have been sold. And dealers in Taiwan and Singapore have also called to ask that we are going to translate the book and sell it to the whole of Southeast Asia. I'm so tired to bring you this good news, why don't you be so enthusiastic about me! ”
This is really good news, "Brother Wu, please sit down, I'll pour water for you" Hearing that his book was published throughout Southeast Asia, Zhang Heng immediately became a dog, not only poured a glass of water for Wu Fei affectionately, but also said with a smile
"Brother Wu, I wrote another 400,000 manuscripts, you take it back first, you should be able to top it for a while."
When Wu Fei heard that there were 400,000 manuscripts available, he immediately laughed like a flower
"Ah Heng, your creative speed is really fast, in two months, you have written 800,000 manuscripts before and after, then Ni Kuang is known as the fastest writer, and it is not a grade compared to you at all."
Zhang Heng thought to himself, of course, if the speed of copying the land can't catch up with the speed of Ni Kuang's creation, then I really have to wonder if this Ni Kuang has also crossed over!
