Text Chapter 26, Millet Comics

After signing the contract, Lei Weidong went to the New Territories to carefully inspect the factory building of the printing factory, and Lei Weidong was very satisfied with the factory.

It is said that the factory was built in 65 years and was ready to be leased to a toy factory at that time, but unfortunately the toy factory closed down and became idle, and in the early 70s, it was bought by Boss Sun along with the land processing factory.

Later, Boss Sun renovated and improved the factory building. The current factory building is very suitable for the printing and publishing of comics.

There are a total of eight machines in the factory, all of which are British goods, and they have not been used for two or three years, and the maintenance is good, although they have not been used for two years, they are almost the same as new.

There are also 12 machines in the warehouse, which are made from Germany. None of them have been opened. Also very well preserved. It can be seen that Boss Sun still retains the intention of making a comeback, but it is a pity that after two years in a row, the comic market has not improved.

made Boss Sun lose confidence in the Hong Kong comics market. only let Lei Weidong pick up a bargain.

Now there is still a lot of space in the plant, even if the 12 machines are installed, these machines occupy less than one-third of the plant, even if it expands in the future, there is no need to worry about the lack of space.

After Lei Weidong looked at the equipment, he left Wu Bo to manage the factory. Now the factory can be said to have no one except an old janitor. If you want to start work, you need to find someone from scratch. After all, no one knows how many old employees Boss Sun can bring back.

Lei Weidong doesn't want to care about these messy things, and he won't care about them. had to throw it to Uncle Wu together, so that Uncle Wu had a headache. What Lei Weidong has to do is to open a comic company as soon as possible.

After a few days of busyness, and because of Uncle Wu's help, Lei Weidong's comic company was finally founded, and the company's office was temporarily placed in Lei Weidong's former house, after all, the factory was too remote, and if you work there, the company's employees have to stay.

Moreover, the house left by Lei Weidong's parents is very large, with more than 300 square meters, which is enough to be an office space for a comic company. However, because it was to be converted into office land, it took Lei Weidong and Zhong Chuhong several days to replace the furniture.

Of course, with the idea that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, when the company was opened, Zhong Da Beauty was also pulled by Lei Weidong to help, serving as the company's deputy general manager and financial director.

It sounds like a very high position, but in fact, Zhong Chuhong is a light commander, and the Finance Department wants Zhong Chuhong to establish it himself.

In order to bring in Zhong Chuhong, Lei Weidong made a lot of guarantees to Zhong's mother. Chung's mother decided to release him. However, Lei Weidong didn't know that Zhong's mother showed a slight smile after she left, and then pulled her daughter to instill her own experience.

When registering a company, there was also a bit of an accident, because now that Hong Kong's economy is recovering, there are many people who open companies. When Lei Weidong went to the relevant departments to register, he met more than a dozen people who registered the company queuing there.

"What is the name of your company, sir?"

"Dark Horse Comics!"

"I'm sorry, the name has already been registered."

"Imperial Capital Comics Company!"

"I'm sorry, the name has already been registered."

"That brother in front, please hurry up!" The people in the back were in a hurry

"Dragon Tiger Comics?"

"I'm sorry or someone signed up"

"Jade Dragon?"

"I'm sorry ......"

"Mi Comics Company"

"Congratulations!"

"Miss! No, no, I just said casually, can you change it? ”

"What a name!"

"Oriental Comics Company!"

"I'm sorry, there are still people registered, and your company name has been registered, sir, if you want to change the company name, please queue up from the new."

"Forget it, just use millet!" Isn't there a Xiaomi mobile phone in the future! The name is still good.

There have been so many comic companies in Hong Kong, it seems that Hong Kong's comic industry was really prosperous in the past, but unfortunately it was all ruined by a government decree!

Of course, it's also those manga clubs that do it themselves.,It's not the color of Japan here. Love Kingdom, the streets are full of large-scale propaganda posters and A. girls, you leave Japan's large-scale comics intact, and even add some materials to move over without checking who you check.

On May 22, 1977, the famous Xiaomi Comics Company in Hong Kong was established. Regarding the name of Xiaomi Comics, Zhong Chuhong made fun of Lei Weidong for several days. made Lei Weidong so faceless.

Because the company was founded, everyone can't see the company's development prospects yet, but Lei Weidong knows how good the development prospects of Xiaomi Comics are!

Anyway, Lei Weidong has many classic comics in his mind, as long as he draws them, it is difficult to say in Europe and the United States, and it will definitely be very popular in Hong Kong and Japan.

Especially in Japan, the kingdom of comics, Lei Weidong's mind remembers all classic Japanese comics. It has been tested in the Japanese market.

If you draw it, not to mention surpassing the assets of hundreds of millions of dollars like the American Marvel Comics, it is easy to surpass Huang Yulang, the godfather of Hong Kong comics.

Now that the company's funds are sufficient, Lei Weidong has calculated his current family background.

It has already cost 5.5 million yuan to buy a publishing house and printing house, and in the past few days, there are still 30,000 yuan of office supplies that have been purchased for running a company, and 30,000 yuan has been spent on miscellaneous items, and there are also personnel to be hired.

There is also a store in the urban area, mainly wholesale, of course, it can also be retail.

Because the company was not famous, it had to advertise in newspapers and use the name of "Xun Qin Ji" to attract booksellers to wholesale. This piece needs to prepare more than 200,000 yuan.

If you want to prepare a truck to deliver manga, you can buy a few second-hand small trucks first. Another hundred thousand pieces.

Happily, you can use the sales channels of "Xingchen Daily", and fortunately, the main comic of the publishing house is "Xun Qin Ji", according to the investigation of "Xingchen Daily".

80% of readers under the age of 22 have the idea of buying the comic version of "Xun Qin", and it can be said that the sales of the comic book version of "Xun Qin" can break the current record of Hong Kong comic sales by relying on this part of the readers.

It can be said that the company's early operation only makes money and does not lose money.

There must be enough raw materials for production in the factory, the original raw materials have not been used for two years, who knows if it can be used, for the sake of safety or buy new ones, it is better to do the best for the first time, and make the company famous.

To buy raw materials, you must prepare 600,000 first, after all, the sales volume of comics may be very large, and the number of fans of "Xun Qin" is there.

In this way, the company's liquidity is more than 1 million.

This is because Lei Weidong used the shares of "Xingchen Daily" to take out a loan, otherwise Lei Weidong would have gone bankrupt, but as long as the company runs well, I believe that the capital flow will soon be better.

At present, the main consideration is how to publish comics, and now there are two ways to publish comics in Hong Kong.

One is published in a newspaper, in the form of a comic daily newspaper, which is the practice of most comics, and then a single book is issued after a certain number.

Another is to issue as a journal, which is usually once a week, and only after several issues are published together.

When Lei Weidong read comics in his previous life, he found that many comic books were several times in one book, which is the reason.

However, Lei Weidong does not approve of these two methods, because the vision of future generations makes Lei Weidong now more aware of Japan's operation methods.

The company mainly promotes magazines, such as Shogakukan's "Shoujo COMIC" and Shueisha's "Shonen Jump Weekly", publishes the submitted manga on them, and conducts market research to determine the next issue based on the readership of each issue.

This will allow you to select the most popular comics in the best possible way. At the same time, the author can also change the direction of the comic according to the reader's request. Catering to the needs of the reader as much as possible.
