Text Chapter 62, Transformers

"Transformers" is one of the most successful commercial animations in history, he is a series of toys and series of cartoons, comics, and films developed by Has.bro in 1984 in cooperation with TAKARA (タカラ) in Japan.

So much so that in the 80s, it was once popular all over the world, and a "transformers" craze arose in many countries in Asia, Europe and the United States, making "transformers" a household name all over the world

Relying on Transformers, Hasbro and Japan's TAKARA made a lot of money, not to mention anything else, just the first live-action movie box office reached 700 million US dollars, and the peripheral profits reached 2 billion US dollars, and it was still one of the three most profitable movie series in the world before Lei Weidong crossed.

What a huge number. As long as Lei Weidong holds the copyright of Transformers tightly in his hands, it will be easy for him to become a billionaire worth billions of dollars in the future.

It's just that because of some patent matters, Lei Weidong didn't have a plan to start "Transformers" at the time, and everything had to wait for Zihanyan to come back from Japan.

After talking to Liu Yueqin, Lei Weidong completely became the shopkeeper, and all the company's affairs were handed over to Liu Yueqin. I just look at the statement to sign and sign for verification and verification every time I verify the finances, and I completely let go of the promotion of Liu Yueqin's company's system.

The general direction of the two has been deeply discussed, and the opinions are basically unified, and the company's next step is to decide to develop the Southeast Asian market and the Taiwan market.

Liu Yueqin expanded sales and personnel, added a group of sales personnel, and carried out talent reserves.

Liu Yueqin has been in the Asian business world for more than four years, and she is still famous, and her understanding of talents and relationships are not comparable to Lei Weidong, a person who has just entered the business world, and it didn't take much time for the company to reserve some urgently needed talents.

No matter how much the company's sales volume increases, the purchase volume is increasing, and it can also default on other companies' payments in terms of materials, but Lei Weidong still doesn't want to owe money when doing business. In his previous life, Lei Weidong had enough of collecting debts. It's so easy to make money now that it's better to strictly follow the contract.

Even so, with the Japanese company's deposit and the company's sales profit for two months, the company now has a large amount of liquidity on its books. For this money, Lei Weidong did not put it there to eat interest, but proposed to invest it.

Liu Yueqin basically agrees with this, after all, Lei Weidong has 100% of the company's shares, and the money is Lei Weidong's own, and he should take the money. It is not good for the company to have a large amount of idle funds in its accounts, and the money must be used, so she only asks Lei Weidong to keep 10 million Hong Kong dollars of liquidity in Xiaomi's account. Lei Weidong fully agrees with this point.

For Lei Weidong to use the company's money to speculate in real estate and buy land, Liu Yueqin is in favor of both hands, and the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy in the next few years has become a settlement, and housing prices will definitely soar. Now buying a house and buying land must be making a lot of money.

With Liu Yueqin's support, Lei Weidong was more assured and bold to do it. The first is to pay off all the bank loans owed when buying the factory, the ideas of the small citizens in the previous life made Lei Weidong a little conservative and unwilling to owe money to the bank, you must know that Hong Kong's financiers are very dark, and they have taken advantage of the economic crisis to kill countless enterprises.

After repaying the loan, Lei Weidong did not continue to be idle, and was ready to expand the printing factory and buy all the vacant land around the factory, anyway, there is no shortage of money in his hand now!

After several days of negotiations, Lei Weidong reached an agreement with a nearby village, spending 10 million yuan to buy more than 200,000 square meters of land at a price of less than 50 yuan per square meter.

At the current land price, Lei Weidong wants to eat all the surrounding villages, and in a few years, this land will not be twice as long, but soaring by five, ten, and twenty times.

In fact, Tseung Kwan O is not an ideal factory base in Lei Weidong's heart, Lei Weidong bought so much land just to prepare for the construction of a cinema and the development of real estate in the future. As for the factory land, Lei Weidong still thinks about building a base there when the special zone is established.

When the SEZ first started, in order to attract investment, the land was not generally cheap, half sold and half given, and sometimes even did not cost money! I don't know how much cheaper than the land price in Hong Kong, although the materials are relatively scarce, and you need to produce them yourself or transfer them from Hong Kong, but the labor is cheap, plus the tax exemption does not know how much cheapness you make.

While buying land around the factory, Lei Weidong also asked Liang Shuren of the intermediary company to buy land on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and other places, and if there is no land, he will buy some waste building land. Anyway, you must buy enough land according to your own requirements. Liang Shuren also did a good job, and in just half a year, he helped Lei Weidong buy more than 20 pieces of land, which was enough for Lei Weidong to build a movie theater in the future.

The company's expansion is still in order, with Liu Yueqin, Lei Weidong has been completely freed from the company's busy business, and everything is developing in a good direction. It can be said that Lei Weidong can finally rest and rest, it is best to rest for a week, and no one will see him make up for sleep at home.

During this time, he was like clockwork, because no one could control the overall situation, and he was the boss every day from morning to night, not lazy at all, and he admired his perseverance.

Lei Weidong's ideals are good, but the reality is cruel, when he just wanted to take a vacation, Zihanyan, a big beauty, came back from Japan.

In Zihanyan's words, this short period of time in Japan is very tired, not only have to deal with several Japanese comic companies such as Shogakukan and Shueisha, but also according to Lei Weidong's request to find out if there are any robot toys or comics in Japan, and if so, buy the patent.

This stumped the Zihan Smoke and Purple Beauty, and she thought of a lot of ways but couldn't find what Lei Weidong wanted.

Because Lei Weidong was afraid that the Japanese comic company would create "Transformers" in advance after knowing his idea, Zi Hanyan had no choice but to investigate secretly in private, but Lei Weidong only provided a few sketches, which made Zi Hanyan come up and find it, and more importantly, Lei Weidong didn't know if there were any pioneers of Transformers in Japan now.

Because in Lei Weidong's memory, Transformers appeared in the eighties, and Lei Weidong didn't know the rest of the information, and what needed to be investigated earlier. In the end, Zihan Yan could not go directly to the Japanese Patent Office to buy or apply for a patent for Transformers.

In the end, not only did he apply for patents for character models such as Optimus Prime and Megatron.

It has also applied for a series of patents related to robot toys, such as dozens of various transformation design patents for "Transformers", not only that, Zihan Yan has also applied for the "Transformers" derivatives such as the "Gundam" series, and the robot patents that appear in "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

A total of more than 300 patents have been applied for various designs, large and small, and these patents are not complete, and there will be more mecha patents in the future.

The sci-fi mecha series is Japan's most lucrative anime industry, generating more wealth each year than the GDP of many of the world's least developed countries combined.

In his previous life, Lei Weidongzhe saw a data, in 1990, Taiwan's GDP was not as high as Japan's animation industry, of course, there is a deliberate exaggeration, but it can be seen how much the animation industry brings to Japan every year.

When Zihanyan came back, Lei Weidong knew that he was thinking too much, Japan has no products related to Transformers now, and Lei Weidong can create Transformers by himself.

In fact, what Lei Weidong didn't know was that the predecessor of Transformers was the MSI Superman launched by TAKARA in 1982, and now it's only 1977, of course, I can't find a patented product.
