Chapter Seventy-Nine: Revenues

The new episode of "Lucky Star Kid" is not comparable to the previous in terms of painting, frames, and background, and once it was broadcast, it was well received.

Although Han Ziguang has been appreciated by various high-quality animations in later generations, watching the animation here now also has a unique flavor, and it is precisely because of the limited conditions at this time that it is better to see whether the production of an animation is attentive.

In mid-June, Han Ziguang basically settled the matter in Japan, and the sales of "Weekly Shonen Magic", which is a manga magazine, have completely reached more than 1.5 million copies, and the sales volume has been determined, and it has risen steadily, and the third issue has increased by about 50,000 copies compared with the second issue.

Han Ziguang felt that at this rate, it was only a matter of time before he basically broke through two million copies, which made him full of expectations, to be honest, comic magazines were the best development period in the ** decade, and when the 21st century fully entered the Internet age, magazine sales would decrease a lot.

In fact, Han Ziguang also understands that after the emergence of the Internet, he will enter the Internet era, and he will get a great impact on the physical media now, because of this, he needs to develop rapidly, and after reaching a certain amount of capital, he can pave the way for future development.

The ratings of "Lucky Star Kid" have jumped from more than 10% to more than 20%, although it is not as high as the ratings of "Aralei" animation, which is as high as 30%, but it can also be seen that "Lucky Star Kid" has potential, and what it brings is naturally the income from copyright fees and peripherals, after all, a "Aralei" has brought 100 billion yen to Toei Animation.

TAKARA Toy Factory will naturally not let go of this opportunity and launched some toy products of the Lucky Star Boy, and the ensuing natural sales are also a hot sale, and the production group of "Lucky Star Kid" has naturally changed from being abused in the past to unanimous praise.

With the next few episodes of the high-quality zuò "Lucky Star Kid" finally became one of the highest-rated programs on Fuji TV, so it was naturally full of returns, and the Zuò group also barely broke even from before, and began to make a lot of money, and Kyoto Animation is trampled on the threshold by advertisers and other TV producers every day, after all, the upcoming "Transformers" and "Chess Soul" of Kyoto Animation are all masterpieces.

Hatta Hideaki is busy exploring business with major companies, and with the popularity of "Lucky Star Kid", it is enough for Kyoto Animation to turn a profit, so it is natural to be able to produce more animations, and colleagues and staff are also full of energy, and they must meet the requirements that Han Ziguang needs.

After all, compared with "Lucky Star Kid", Han Ziguang values "Transformers" and "Chess Soul" and that "Baseball Hero" more, it can be said that "Lucky Star Kid" is just a test work of Kyoto Animation, even so, it has achieved such a big success, I have to say that it is a thing worth celebrating.

Han Ziguang took over the earnings statements of major companies from He Chaoqiong, and seeing that July is about to go, he also has to go back to Xiangjiang, after all, the war between "Happy Ghost" and "Five Lucky Stars" is about to begin, and he must now do his best to solve the matter in Japan.

"After more than half a month, the publisher's revenue reached 1.5 billion yen, most of which came from advertising expenses." He Chaoqiong, as the current president of the head office, directly serves Han Ziguang, looking at the various incomes, and reported one by one: "The income of Kyoto Animation's "Lucky Star Boy" reached 300 million yen, mainly due to copyright fees and the signing fee for peripheral products, which was barely enough to make ends meet; TAKARA Toy Factory's revenue reached 3 billion yen, including 500 million yen for "Lucky Star Kid" peripheral toy products, 200 million yen for "Chess Soul", 300 million yen for "Saint Seiya" figures and peripherals, and 2 billion yen for "Transformers" toys. ”

"Sister Joan! This is just the beginning, and you will only make more money later. Han Ziguang felt that the income was not bad, and couldn't help but smile and said: "If you calculate it in this way, there should be an income of 3.8 billion, which is equivalent to 15 million US dollars in US dollars, which seems to be a little less!" ”

"That's less? And that's just for June. He Chaoqiong looked at Han Ziguang and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "I really don't know what you have in your head, at this rate, there are still more than two months, which is enough for you to have 50 million US dollars of income to become Hong Kong dollars." ”

"Yes! The US$50 million plus the remaining US$70 million is US$120 million, which can be converted into more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in September, and even if the loan from HSBC is returned, excluding the 450 million Hong Kong dollars, there is still more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars. Han Ziguang crossed his fingers and began to calculate his earnings, and then couldn't help but smile and said: "When the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar is restored in October, it can be exchanged for 80 million US dollars again, so I still make a lot of money!" Hey! ”

"Isn't it just a lot of money?" He Chaoqiong glanced at Han Ziguang and said helplessly: "You are simply borrowing money to make money, and in the end, you will not only repay the loan, but even earn more than double, I will regard this time as a miracle of investment." ”

"Really? If you don't say it, I haven't even paid attention yet! Han Ziguang couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is the charm of money making money!" ”

Although Han Ziguang was still burdened with a huge amount of debt at this time, he was also a lot more relaxed at this time, after all, this time he went around abroad, and his pockets not only bulged again, but also established a little bit of his own business, there is nothing more cost-effective than taking other people's money to invest.

He Chaoqiong felt that Han Ziguang was completely showing off, and shook his head helplessly: "When do you plan to go back this time?" ”

"Just these two days!" Leng Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Sister Qiong! Anda Mitsuru has already agreed to meet to discuss the animation, this time you will go with President Hatta, and be sure to get the copyright of "Baseball Heroes", which can be regarded as a gift for me! ”

"Got it! My big boss! He Chaoqiong thought for a while, nodded and said: "I also saw the animation of "Baseball Heroes", it is indeed very good, I believe that animation will be very popular, but such an animation can't bring much peripheral benefits!" ”

"Baseball has always been very popular in Japan, and it's also very popular in the United States." Han Ziguang thought for a while and said, "If I come to Japan next time, maybe I will buy a Japanese baseball team to run it, so Sister Qiong will help me keep an eye on it!" ”

Baseball belongs to the national level in the United States and Japan, but it is not so easy to run a Japanese professional baseball team, so it is an act of burning money, but once you obtain the right to operate a professional baseball team, your status will inevitably soar.
