One day in mid-August, Li Hualong did not go out to work and rested at home.

When he woke up from a nap, Li Hualong looked at Yang Meng who was sleeping next to him, and suddenly thought that half a month ago, he and Yang Meng talked about rebirth.

"The Doraemon manga hasn't started drawing yet, and it feels good that such a classic character as the machine qì cat can be snatched from the Japanese. And hello-kitty, it's not difficult to design a manga impression......"

Li Hualong's mind appeared in classic comic book characters such as the machine qì cat, hello–kitty, and Transformers.

"Transformers, or Transformers have a head, you can make all kinds of model toys, and in the future, you can also make a series of live-action movies, carefully design and manufacture some classic model toys, limited release, only sell part of them for the time being, store some in the warehouse, and then take them out for sale in the future, they will definitely be able to sell at a high price, and the increase may be more profitable than investing in antique calligraphy and paintings...... Hehe, it's too far to think about this now. I first drew the image of the cat, made up some scripts, and asked someone who can draw comics to assist me in completing the ...... "Doraemon" story background must not be set in Japan, but in Hong Kong, and the characters and names in the comics should be thought about...... The male number one is called Zhao Daxiong, the heroine is called Song Jingxiang, the fat man is called Tian Wu, and the bad boy is called ...... Qin Chuan, Zhao Daxiong's father is called Zhao Lizhu, and his mother is called Qin Wenyu......"

Li Hualong lay on the bed and thought for a while, carefully climbed out of bed, walked to the desk, took out the wall and white paper, and began to draw a comic.

After nearly half an hour, Yang Meng woke up.

"Aaron, what are you doing?"

"Come and have a look." Li Hualong turned his head to look at Yang Meng and said with a smile.

Yang Meng got up, came to Li Hualong's side, saw the cartoons drawn by Li Hualong, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "How can you draw cartoons?" ”

"I can draw architectural designs, I can sketch, I can draw comics, and there's nothing strange about it."

"Hehe, these are two different things entirely." Yang Meng picked up the drawing paper with the comics drawn, flipped through it, read a few pages, and said in surprise, "It's quite interesting." ”

"A while ago, we talked about going back to the past, and we talked about writing movie scripts, and I felt that with the current conditions, if you want to make a movie, it is difficult to make that effect, but comics are different, the investment is small, and it is easy for readers to accept. When the conditions are ripe in the future, it will be changed into a TV series or movie. ”

"You're going to publish a comic book?"

"In the future, we will definitely publish a comic book, and when I first started, I will serialize it in Ming Pao."

""Ming Pao" serialized comics, hehe, this is different from the style of "Ming Pao"!"

"I'm a newspaper owner, and I provide creative comics, and of course I'm going to serialize them."

"You offer ideas? You're not going to ask someone to paint for you? ”

"I have too many things to do, and I'm going to find a helper, which can save a lot of time."

A few days later, Li Hualong interviewed several painters who were good at drawing comics, and admitted one of them, a young man named Su Yuntan.

Li Hualong couldn't have much time to participate in the creation of "Doraemon", after he prepared to create the script of a few stories by himself, he asked his partner to independently create the story of the machine, he watched some of the works that Su Yun had talked about, and listened to some of the other party's ideas, he decided to cooperate with this young man.

……

On September 1, Li Huahu's wholly-owned Lisboa Hotel was completed and a grand opening ceremony was held.

On the day of the opening of the Hotel Lisboa, the gambling = game opened by Galaxy Entertainment Company at the Hotel Lisboa also opened at the same time.

Li Huahu repeatedly invited Li Hualong to attend the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Lisboa Hotel, and Li Hualong finally agreed, took a boat to Macau, and stayed in this hotel.

Although Li Huahu built a few bets and tried his luck, Li Hualong resolutely refused, and he preferred to play a safe bet.

On the night of the opening of the Lisboa Hotel, Li Hualong stayed in this hotel, entered the guest room, and when he was ready to sleep, Li Huahu came to him.

"Third brother, tell you something."

"Say it." Li Hualong took a pour of Coke and handed it to Li Huahu.

Li Huahu opened the can, took a sip of Coke, and said: "I want to merge the Lisboa Hotel into the Galaxy Entertainment Company, I will increase my shareholdings, Ye Han and Ye Deli verbally agreed, but they said that they want to find a few new shareholders, our brothers, plus my father-in-law's and mother-in-law's shares, cannot exceed 65 percent." ”

"How much does Galaxy Entertainment cost?"

"Galaxy Entertainment Company is 24 million Hong Kong dollars, and Lisboa Hotel is also 24 million Hong Kong dollars."

"I don't object, if that's the case, I'm taking advantage."

"It's not a bargain. What they mean is that before the merger, they asked a friend to buy a 25% stake in the Lisboa Hotel and paid me HK$6 million. ”

"Thirty plus seventy-five, divided by two, so to speak, your stake has reached 52.5%......" Li Hualong muttered, seeing Li Huahu nodding, he continued, "My shareholding with your father-in-law and mother-in-law has shrunk by half. ”

"Yes, after the merger of the two companies, you hold 7.5% of the new company, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law hold 5% of the shares...... You don't mind, do you? ”

"I don't mind, I only invested a lot of money at the beginning, and I have already made a lot of profits. You can control Galaxy Entertainment. Li Hualong nodded with satisfaction, "In the future, Galaxy Entertainment Company will be your career, do it well, I support you." ”

"Thank you, third brother." Li Huahu smiled, "Then it's decided?" ”

"Of course it's decided, otherwise, what else do you want?" Li Hualong smiled, "By the way, I'll tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Huahu asked with a smile.

"I set up a beverage company and developed a vitamin function drink, which will be launched soon, this drink is very suitable for selling in the gambling = market, and people who are sleepy and tired will drink this drink, and their spirits will improve."

"Vitamin energy drinks?" Li Huahu looked at Li Hualong with a little curiosity, "There hasn't been any company that produces this kind of drink before, right?" ”

"As I understand it, no. It's kind of my first initiative. ”

"Did the Hong Kong government approve you to produce this drink?"

"If I don't approve it, how dare I build a factory for production!" Li Hualong said with a smile, "If it is well operated, this beverage company will become a gold-absorbing machine." ”

"If you think you can make money, you can definitely make money." Li Huahu smiled and said, "What's the name of this drink?" ”

"Red Bull, English name red_bull."

"When your Red Bull drink is produced, I will ask Galaxy Entertainment to buy this drink from you and provide it to gamblers in VIP rooms for free."

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

"You're welcome, you're also a shareholder of Galaxy Entertainment." Li Huahu smiled heartily.

Li Hualong, who was born in the 80s, likes to drink Red Bull drinks and knows several main ingredients of this drink, at this time Li Hualong, who has the memory of two people, feels that the production of Red Bull drinks can make money, and he likes the "Red Bull" brand very much, and he can also use this brand to develop the sports industry in the future, so he "invented" this drink in advance and built a factory to produce it.

A few days later, Galaxy Entertainment completed the acquisition of Hotel Lisboa, and Li Huahu became the absolute controlling shareholder of Galaxy Entertainment.

……

On September 15, the first batch of Red Bull drinks went on sale in Hong Kong.

As early as a week ago, Red Bull Beverage Company placed advertisements in a number of newspapers in Hong Kong, either full-page advertisements or half-page advertisements, and the advertising content was very simple, only such an advertising slogan - "Tired, sleepy, drink Red Bull!" ”

In addition, Red Bull Beverages spends a lot of money on outdoor advertising.

The advertising of Red Bull Drink is very good, and it has not yet been listed in Hong Kong, and in just a few days, it has attracted a lot of attention.

After the drink was launched, it achieved good sales, and many people bought Red Bull drinks with the idea of trying to taste them.

Red Bull Beverages is targeting blue-collar workers such as shift workers and truck drivers, helping them stay awake while working through the night.

Tired, sleepy, drink Red Bull! It's not just the advertising words, the Red Bull drink really has that effect. Many people who have to work tirelessly are really more energetic after drinking Red Bull drinks, and solve the problem of sleepiness, which greatly promotes the popularity of Red Bull drinks.

Red Bull Drinks have just been on sale in Hong Kong for three days, and on September 18, Galaxy Entertainment's gambling = casinos began selling Red Bull Drinks.

Tired and sleepy gamblers drink Red Bull drinks, the effect is very good and they are more energetic, which makes them stay in the gambling = game for longer.

Operating gambling = the game does not need the "God of Gamblers" to sit in charge, gambling = the game is not afraid of gamblers winning money on the premise of not cheating, Red Bull Drink allows gamblers to stay in the gambling = field for an increased time, and a certain amount of dù promotes the income of gambling = field. After Li Huahu felt the wonderful use of the Red Bull drink, he specially thanked Li Hualong.

In the following months, Red Bull Beverage was exported to many countries in Southeast Asia, although the export volume was not large, but it was more or less a revenue, which also greatly strengthened Li Hualong's confidence in running the beverage company well.

……

On September 31, the 14th anniversary of the founding of "Ming Pao", on this day, "Ming Pao" began to serialize "Doraemon", written by Li Hualong and Su Yuntan.

Li Hualong felt that he was famous enough, but the idea of the comic "Doraemon" was "provided" by him, and he also participated in the early creation, and when the comic was serialized in the newspaper, it was natural to leave his name.

If Li Hualong is a particularly selfish person, even if Su Yuntan participated in the creation of "Doraemon", then the public is very likely not to know that Su Yuntan is one of the authors of "Doraemon", and Li Hualong gave Su Yuntan the opportunity to become famous.

Li Hualong knew very well that the "Doraemon" comic would extend to great commercial value, and when he decided to ask Su Yuntan to cooperate with him in the creation of the "Doraemon" comic, he made it clear that he spent money to hire Su Yuntan to paint "Doraemon", but Su Yuntan has no copyright except for the right to authorship the work, all copyrights belong to Li Hualong, and even Li Hualong can fire him at any time and find someone else to continue to draw this comic.

Su Yuntan accepted Li Hualong's cooperation conditions and signed the relevant documents, because Li Hualong's remuneration was generous, and cooperating with Li Hualong would be beneficial to his future development.

"Doraemon" was serialized in Ming Pao, and in order to attract readers, Li Hualong did not choose a pen name, and he asked "Ming Pao" to publish an article introducing "Doraemon" as his idea, and he also drew part of it himself.

Li Hualong is a big celebrity in Hong Kong, many Chinese people don't know who the governor of Hong Kong is, but few people don't know who Li Hualong is, the cartoons he drew attracted a lot of attention, and several issues were serialized, and many people became fans of the comic books of "Doraemon", and even other newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong also reported the news that Li Hualong, the richest man in Hong Kong, drew cartoons.
