Chapter 200: Not Bad Money
"Well, go on." Chen Lang moved to the side and avoided Qi Wenjie, who seemed to be a little excited.
"Another reason is that our major change in the style of comic painting has shocked Hong Kong and Southeast Asia beyond imagination, and I didn't expect the charm of this delicate style of painting to be so great, so that everyone can't put it down, and the sales are hot." Qi Wenjie was a little emotional.
Hong Kong's comic industry has caused changes because of the emergence of "Zhu Xian", although it is not obvious now, but the fact that most of the comic sales have declined tells all cartoonists that if they do not change, they may be abandoned.
Chen Lang also nodded slightly, in the end, it is the mature painting style of Japan, the kingdom of comics in the 21st world, after the double affirmation of time and the market, there must be a reason for its success, and now it has been taken to Hong Kong in the 80s, and the shock to everyone can be imagined.
"Isn't comics more expensive, otherwise they wouldn't make so much money, right?" Chen Lang asked again.
"The price of 10 yuan is indeed more expensive than other comics, but it has the creativity of comic reform, as well as the real and exquisite packaging and paper, as well as other labor costs, etc., 10 yuan is also within everyone's acceptable range." Qi Wenjie said.
"And how much money did we make in one book?" Chen Lang didn't expect comics to be such a lucrative industry.
Just the first episode of "Zhu Xian" can bring nearly five million income, it's really unimaginable, no wonder the later "Gundam" has such a long series, and "Naruto" always drags the plot, always recalling, just don't advance the plot, and refuse to end it if you kill it.
"The price of 10 yuan, all the costs are about 4 yuan, a comic can earn 6 yuan, your four-component bonus is 2.4 yuan, and a total of 1.95 million copies are currently shipped, so you can get a big red envelope of 4.68 million." Qi Wenjie concluded, then sat down and took a sip of water.
"Just the first episode of the comic can make so much money, no wonder your master is so wealthy, he doesn't treat money as money, he is completely a local tyrant." Chen Lang said with emotion.
"Local tyrants?! Hehe... Qi Wenjie heard Chen Lang call his master like this, and felt that it was really appropriate.
"You will soon become a local tyrant, now the second episode is selling well, and the third episode is also being released, and when "Zhu Xian" is updated, your wealth will definitely reach tens of millions."
"Also, I didn't expect that a copy of "Zhu Xian" could bring me tens of millions of income, which is really unexpected." Chen Lang never thought that a novel could bring such a big profit.
In later generations, because piracy was so serious, many people's profits were greatly damaged, and they may not even get one percent of the profits.
"Okay, the red envelope has been delivered, and I have to go back to accompany my wife and children, Happy New Year! I'll go first. After Qi Wenjie finished speaking, he left the Chen family.
Chen Lang came back after sending Qi Wenzhuo to the door, and saw Chen's father and Chen's mother still discussing a few drawings, so he walked over, "Parents, what are you discussing?" ”
"In Kowloon, Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, your father and I each have a fancy for a shop, son, come and see who has a good eye." Chen's mother pulled Chen Lang and pushed the four-chapter drawings to her son to choose.
Chen's mother is interested in the current commercial center of the four major districts, with a large daily flow of people, and the business is bound to be easy to do, while Chen's father is interested in the new high-end residential area commercial area under construction, although it is not popular now, but the future development is definitely not the same, both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
In the end, Chen Lang put the drawings directly on the table and said, "What my parents chose makes sense, I think it's all good." ”
"Stinky boy, don't want to be sloppy, let's talk about who has the best choice." Chen's mother thought that her son was making peace with the mud, so she tapped Chen Lang and said.
"It's really good, so I think it's good to buy them all." Chen Lang said proudly.
"Buy them all?" Chen's father and Chen's mother were surprised in unison when they heard Chen Lang's words.
"Yes, because the novel was serialized in "Oriental Daily", plus the publication of the novel "Zhu Xian" and the Hong Kong sales share of "Lang Lang Qiankun", I have earned more than 5 million, plus more than 2 million yuan of the profit share of 50% of the goods.
In addition, the profit share of the first episode of the "Zhu Xian" comic is now 4.68 million, which means that your son is now a veritable multimillionaire, not counting the overseas profit dividends of the record "Lang Lang Qiankun", so we are not short of money. Chen Lang held up the check in his hand and said.
Chen's father and Chen's mother looked at each other when they heard this, and finally sighed with satisfaction, Chen's father looked at Chen's mother and said, "Let's stop fighting, let's listen to our son." Even if the business sales are not good, it is enough to buy these stores and keep them appreciating. ”
"That's fine, there are still a lot of relatives who want to work in the store, and now there is a place to arrange it." Chen's mother also smiled and put away all the drawings on the table.
"I really didn't expect a million-word novel to bring so much income, and novels, comics, and product peripherals may even be adapted into TV series and movies, which is really a huge industrial chain, and the huge profits in it are really scary." Father Chen sighed.
"This is indeed an industrial chain with huge profits." Chen Lang thought of the pan-entertainment industry that emerged in later generations, and his heart was also speechless, only by benefiting from it, did he know how big the profit of the entertainment industry is, and the annual profit of being able to establish a complete industrial chain is probably tens of billions, and it is US dollars.
"Okay, this is my son, how can anyone else have this ability." Mother Chen proudly hugged Chen Lang and said.
"Tomorrow your dad and I will sign a contract to buy these stores, and then start decorating, but four new branches have been added, and more people are needed, and if you are a relative, there are more than a dozen people, and about thirty people are needed, Lang Lang, you can recruit some more, and it can be regarded as a thank you for these fans."
"No problem, I'll call Chen Jian now." When Chen Lang heard this, he walked to the telephone and dialed Chen Jianjia's number.
"Hey, hello, I'm Chen Lang, is Chen Jian at home?" Chen Lang said.
"Make a fortune in the New Year, Lang Lang, is there anything to find me?" It was Chen Jian who answered the phone.
"How's it going for me to ask you to help find the clerk?" Chen Lang asked.
"Alas, I really don't know if I don't investigate, there are too many club members with family difficulties, forty places are not enough at all, looking at the eyes full of expectation, which makes us uncomfortable when we make a choice." Chen Jian said in a low tone.
