On August 7, 1977, the first plenary meeting of Xiaomi began.

The venue was still in the company's conference room, around the newly bought conference table, everyone found a stool to sit casually.

Lei Weidong looked at the people in front of him, they are all the current backbone of the Xiaomi company, Wu Bo, Zhong Chuhong, Cheng Xue, Xu sisters, Ma Rongcheng, Liu Wei and Sun Xiaohong and other deputy editors.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lei Weidong coughed lightly and quieted down; "Everyone knows a little bit about the company's situation, the company's "Painting King" sales are gratifying, and very successful, without everyone here, the company will not have such results, I thank you in advance."

waited until the applause was over, Lei Weidong continued; "Of course, the company makes money, your benefits will definitely increase, everyone is mutually beneficial, after all, the company's future development is to us work together, so the company decided to give all employees a raise, as the company's supervisor, the editor-in-chief of the salary increase of 1,000, ordinary employees 200, technical employees 400, deputy editor-in-chief level personnel 600, of course, this is just my initial plan, according to the company's progress will soon improve your treatment again"

As soon as Lei Weidong came up, he proposed a salary increase, just to buy them first, cheer up people's hearts, and make them more confident in this company and more able to regard this company as their home.

After drinking tea, I waited until everyone was excited and continued; "Everyone is the backbone of the company, the current company is in good condition, will definitely carry out the next round of expansion, I am ready to find a headquarters for the company in the next step, not necessarily a building such a house, the location can also not be too prosperous, as long as the independent three-to-five-storey small building can be, the key is to require a large area, convenient for the expansion of the company's headquarters in the future."

"After finding a new office location, the company will also be completely divided, and the factory will continue to expand, I plan to divide the factory into two, and set up two production areas, one workshop and two workshops, one of which is mainly engaged in magazines, and there is no other side business. The second workshop is responsible for the production of comic peripheral products, and is currently mainly engaged in the production of toys. Because the factory is only responsible for production, the factory only needs to set up an equipment department, a production department and a logistics department. When the time comes, it will be enough for the headquarters to assign two people to manage human resources and finance. Everything in the factory is still in charge of Wu Bo. ”

"Brother Ma, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Ma Rongcheng raise his hand, Lei Weidong asked:

"It's such a boss, I have no problem with expanding the factory, but why build a toy factory! This has nothing to do with our company's products! Ma Rongcheng raised his own questions.

"Alas!" Hearing Ma Rongcheng's question, he looked at the other people who really had questions! Lei Weidong couldn't help sighing. Hong Kong people should not be the people of Asia at present, except for Japan, basically do not pay attention to intellectual property rights. Piracy in these areas is too serious! It is estimated that soon after his toys came out, pirated copies flew all over the sky! Lei Weidong will never underestimate the copycat ability of the Chinese people! ”

"Why didn't they intersect!" For Ma Rongcheng's question, Lei Weidong decided to explain: "For comics, book profits are just the basics, animation, movies, CDs, and peripheral toys are the majority, and now our company's strength is still very weak, and we can't enter the animation and film market, but we can still enter the toy market." For example, in Japanese manga robot cats can be much more profitable in terms of toys than in comic books! ”

"What the boss means is that we entered the toy market and are producing dolls for our various comic characters!" After all, Zhong Chuhong is a girl and has a natural sensitivity to dolls.

"But boss, can dolls make money? Ma Rongcheng and others were a little unconvinced.

"Of course, you can make money, let's just say that the comic of the Japanese robot cat, every year the comic company earns several times or even dozens of times the income on the doll. Since Japanese manga companies can do this, our company can do it too. In the future, I will create a few comics specially, and the profits generated by the dolls, pictorials and other products made with the characters in them will far exceed the profits of the comics! In order to give everyone confidence, Lei Weidong prepared to take out "Transformers" in advance. Of course, Lei Weidong knows how much harm Hong Kong's overwhelming piracy will have on sales.

"Real boss!" Ma Rongcheng and others were a little speechless about Lei Weidong's comic talent. I easily took out a few best-selling comics.,Now it's said that you can specialize in a few comics with a periphery that's bigger than the comic itself.,It's really more popular than the people.。

"Okay, we'll talk about it later, and now let's go ahead with the meeting!" Lei Weidong nodded the table and said: "The company headquarters will set up a sales department, a security department, a finance department, a logistics department, a personnel department, an editorial department, and a purchasing department."

"During this time, the company's main tasks are three, one is to expand the members of the editorial department, although now the comic characters have been finalized, it can be said that it is much simpler, but the content and plot of the comics must be meticulous, not too urgent, not frizzy, slow work and meticulous work, to ensure the quality. I know that everyone is working very hard now, in order to better complete the work, I am going to add one or two comic assistants to each comic team, and you can contact the personnel department directly after the meeting, and the specific recruitment is responsible for the personnel department, and the personnel department is responsible for Zhong Chuhong first. ”

The second is to open up overseas markets, after all, Hong Kong is just a city, no matter how big the sales of comics are, it is only a few hundred thousand copies, compared with the huge overseas market, of course, because our company has just been established, to develop overseas markets step by step. The company's next plan is to first explore the Taiwan market and Japan, especially the Japanese market, and sell millions of copies per issue. As for the Southeast Asian region, the company decided to cooperate with Lotus Press to promote our manga through the sales channels of Lotus Press in Southeast Asia! ”

The third and most important point is that this is related to what kind of height Xiaomi can go in the future!

Lei Weidong paused, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued: "I have decided to revise "The King of Painting", add a free comic submission area on the basis of the original four comics, and invite manuscripts for Hong Kong, Wanwan and even the mainland, and welcome those authors who are confident in their works to contribute!" Mr. Zhong, you are responsible for the content of this original call for papers, which will be published on the first page of the recent issues of "Painting King". ”

"Okay, Mr. Lei!" Zhong Chuhong responded: "However, Mr. Lei, how big is this free submission area for comics, whether the comics are long or short, and how do we ensure that readers will like these comics!" And whether the price of "The King of Paintings" should be changed"

"The free submission area is set at between 10 and 30 pages, and it varies depending on the number of manga selected, so it doesn't matter if the manga is long or short, as long as the content is exciting! As for how to ensure that readers like it, we can print a reader Q&A on each issue, and readers will rate their favorite comics and send them to the company, if they are at the bottom of the Q&A for three consecutive weeks, no matter what their relationship is, they will be taken off the shelves! As for the price! Lei Weidong said: "Don't change the time!" ”

"That's not about increasing our costs!" Zhong Chuhong asked: "You must know that 30 pages is more than half of the pages of "The King of Paintings"! ”

"Then add a few more pages and advertise!" Lei Weidong said with a smile: ""The King of Paintings" is so popular, it sells more than newspapers, and I believe that there are many businesses willing to advertise on it!" ”

"Vice President Chung! You're in charge! Lei Weidong continued.

"Why still me! Adong! There are so many things I probably can't do! "Just the matter of the finance department, Zhong Chuhong is busy and dizzy, and now that Lei Weidong has added so many burdens, Zhong Chuhong naturally complained, and he didn't call Mr. Lei in a hurry, but directly called Adong.

"The company is just getting started! There is still a shortage of people in many departments, and I have asked the headhunting company to poach people! When they arrive, you'll be able to relax! Now Ah Hong, you have to work hard, let's take a look first" Lei Weidong also knows that it is a bit reluctant to manage a company with Zhong Chuhong's experience and ability, but now Lei Weidong trusts too few people, so he can only make Zhong Chuhong work hard.

"If you still have any questions, if you don't have any, you can break up the meeting!" Even if there is a meeting, Lei Weidong can't talk alone, and everyone must be allowed to speak freely, so he asked.

"I have! Mr. Lei! As soon as the words fell, Sun Xiaohong stood up and said, "I have a question to ask!" This is the time when the company is soliciting comics, and whether the people of the company can participate in the submission. ”
