Chapter 182: Acting as a Witness
In the office of the president of the Tianxia Society, in the face of the huge turmoil, Zhao Chen still sat on the chair steadily, calmly looking at the "Daily News" in his hand.
As the boss of many companies, Zhao Chen must read the newspaper every day, which allows him to grasp some of the situations in this era, so as to use the information of foresight to exploit loopholes.
"Haha, these reporters are really good at, and they also came up with a slogan to boycott foreign goods, isn't this a standard thief shouting to catch a thief! However, these reporters are not wrong, I came to this land for this purpose in addition to making money. Use the islanders' own comics to invade the culture of the island country to change their minds and collect their money! In the future, I will definitely build the world's largest group here, dedicated to the slaughter of you island people! ”
Zhao Chen's face was full of arrogant smiles, this may be the first time he didn't look up to himself, but the words he said were relatively low, and with the soundproofing effect of the president's office, it was impossible to be heard.
If there are people in the island country who hear Zhao Chen say this, even if they know Zhao Chen's current status, they will only laugh and be generous, maybe they think this is simply too arrogant, and if they want to change a country with a population of hundreds of millions by themselves, there is no possibility for them at all. Even those great men in modern history are not many who can do it, not to mention that those great men are often politicians/rulers, and Zhao Chen is just a cartoonist.
There is no doubt that Zhao Chen's idea is very crazy, but he has enough self-confidence, and the biggest advantage he has is undoubtedly all kinds of information in the future, as long as he makes good use of it, it may not take many years to achieve his goal, and then as long as his fame is big enough, and there are a large number of loyal comic fans of the island country. can carry out corresponding cultural aggression.
"If you want to rely on public opinion to overwhelm me, it's still early, it looks like you're going to start the preparatory plan!" Zhao Chen put down the newspaper with a sneer on his face, he has always been more careful. Since the time of the World Society, he began to take precautions and secretly prepared a large amount of funds.
Don't think that the funds in his hands are insufficient, it is impossible for him to invest all the money in the acquisition, otherwise with the ability of companies such as Tianxiashe to make money every day, as well as Zhao Chen's ability to accumulate wealth in various countries or regions, how can he only achieve such a process.
Light says this year. The sales of each issue of "Shonen soRa", the main comic publication of Tianxia Society, have exceeded one million, and in the past two months, it has reached two million sales, and "Shonen soRa" alone has created nearly 20 billion yen in sales for Zhao Chen, minus all aspects of costs, and the net profit has also reached an astonishing half. Mainly because Zhao Chen is the author of several of these comics, and this comic weekly alone has generated more than 5 billion yen in profits for him. If you add other publications under the Tianxia Society, the profits of all kinds of comic magazines and accompanying literary publications alone will be tens of billions.
And that's not just the profit of the manga magazine, but also the profit from the sale of individual books.
Surprisingly, the most profitable is not "Juvenile soRa" or the total amount of a single book, but all kinds of peripheral products. Everybody knows. The margins of merch are quite staggering, just look at the prices of merch in the store.
The reason why peripheral products have such a high price is mainly because manufacturers often have to pay a small share to cartoonists, and manufacturers also have a lot of risks. The most important thing is that it is a monopoly product in the island countries that attach importance to copyright, and you must know that the most profitable in the world may be in addition to drugs and medicine, which is undoubtedly a monopoly!
The factory is Zhao Chen's, and the popular comics are also Zhao Chen's, which will bring him huge profits.
Knock knock!
When Zhao Chen fell into deep thought, there was a knock on the closed door.
"Come in!" Zhao Chen's expression instantly became calm and abnormal, the Boss is the backbone of a company. If even he panicked, the reaction of the employees below can be imagined.
The person who came in was Zhao Chen's secretary, this was an experienced middle-aged man, or Zhao Chen specially hired with a high salary.
The secretary, who had always been calm, had an ugly face and originally had something to say. It's just that after seeing Zhao Chen, he was stunned.
"Is something wrong? It's okay, even bad news is carried by tall people! ”
Hearing Zhao Chen say this, the middle-aged secretary took a deep breath before finally spit out the truth.
It turned out that when the Tianxia Society entered the storm, many cartoonists who were not Tianxia Society terminated their serialized comics one after another, and went to other comic clubs, among which the four major comic giants went to the most, but they were moved by the benefits they gave. Similarly, there are very few people in this world who share weal and woe, and there are undoubtedly many more who fall into the ground.
Basically, none of these cartoonists are contracted cartoonists of Tianxia Society.,It's possible to terminate the current serialized manga without much cost.。 It's just that even if the price is not too big, it is not something that these ordinary cartoonists can bear lightly, and if no one pushes the flames in the future, even Zhao Chen himself will not believe it.
Not only do these cartoonists not have much fame, but they don't have any status in the Tianxia Society, if it's normal, Zhao Chen doesn't care, because it's normal. It's a pity that these are extraordinary times, and if more than a dozen manga artists get out of the chance to give up serialization in Tianxiasha's manga publications at one time, it will undoubtedly be a huge turmoil for the rest of the manga artists. If this continues, there will only be more and more cartoonists who will break away.
In addition, there are a large number of media reporters gathered at the door of Tianxia Society, who want to interview Zhao Chen, which also requires Zhao Chen's approval.
"I see, let's hold a press briefing, just to clarify! In addition, talk to the reporters who usually have good social relations with us, and ask them to say good things to us as much as possible during this period, and don't worry about the cost. ”
After the secretary left, Zhao Chen sat on the chair and pondered for a long time, and finally grabbed a pile of blank manuscript paper, took out the full set of tools he usually used for painting, and waited until the time was ripe before walking towards the hall of the Tianxia Society.
"Zhao Chen is here!" The dense reporters in the hall were still talking to each other, but now that Zhao Chen came in, Qi Qi stopped, and instead took a long gun and a short cannon to rush to Zhao Chen's side.
The surrounding community was in the middle of the world, which was maintaining order, and did not let these reporters get close.
"I know everyone's intentions, but please sit down and talk slowly, or I won't answer any questions!"
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, the security guard hurriedly separated the reporters, let Zhao Chen go to the podium, and put the painting tools and manuscript paper on the table.
"Okay, please do a good job, I can answer your questions, if there is a slander against the reputation of the World Society for no reason, you can also record it faithfully, and save Xiaoxiao from being proud in secret! There are a lot of people here today, it seems that we have to talk by candle and night, and maybe it will be successful for ten days or eight days, what do you think? ”
There were dozens of reporters this time, and the chairs in the hall were just filled.
"We really want to talk to Teacher Zhao Chen for ten days and eight days, and we come to you every day in the province!" One reporter said in a tone that was akin to joking, and the rest of the reporters felt justified and agreed with it.
"Okay, since you all agreed, then I might as well be respectful, you go and move in all the things I ordered, move quickly!"
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he gestured to the staff with his eyes, and then saw several staff members moving boxes of things such as bread, cooked food, instant noodles, and mineral water in, and even a few quilts inside, piled up into a hill in the empty part of the hall.
The reporters in the hall paused for a moment, looking at each other, not knowing the intention of doing so.
"Could it be that this press conference will last until the evening, so that we don't go hungry halfway through! But even so, I won't stop! ”
"But that's too much, enough for all of us to eat for a week!"
"Is it because we can't give it as a gift after we leave?"
"Who would give this junk food as a gift, even if it was given to me, it didn't have to be!"
"You're right, but what's the point, is this press conference really going to last for ten days or eight days? That's certainly not ......."
Before the reporter could finish speaking, he saw that all the doors in the hall were closed, and there was a sound of chains behind the closed doors.
