Chapter 47, Make money
The best money in the world is the money of children and women, for the sake of children, many parents throw a lot of money, would rather eat bran and drink thin, not far from the child, as for women, there are many women who are particularly ruthless to themselves, and even some women are willing to sell themselves in order to get a toy.
Wenxuan Bookstore happened a scene constantly staged in Hong Kong, everywhere you can see girls frantically chasing "The King of Paintings", many girls can't stand the three-day wait, have called Xiaomi, ask to increase the content of "Sailor Moon", the few twelve pages are too enjoyable to read, and there are also many girls who ask when "Sailor Moon" will be released as a single book, they will definitely go to the scene at that time.
With the support of the girl, the sales of "The King of Paintings" can be said to have completely exceeded Lei Weidong's original estimates, not only the sales of the second and third issues have increased at a rate of more than 30%, but the first issue of "The King of Paintings", which has been published for several days, continues to be wanted. After all, comics are different from newspapers, there is no such thing as expiration, and the sales of "Painting King" have exploded in the future.
Hong Kong people's business acumen has to be admired, because of the popularity of "The King of Paintings", there is no need for the company to publicize it, there are constantly bookstores, and newsstand owners run to the company to order. Not to mention the prosperous areas of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, but also the more remote places in Hong Kong, such as Lantau Island, Yuen Long, and Tseung Kwan O, people come here. It can be said that in just one month, the company's sales channels all over Hong Kong have been established.
And "The King of Painting" also reached a new high in this situation, reaching more than 240,000 sales per issue in just one month, which is a desperate achievement for Hong Kong cartoonists.
Faced with this situation, Huang Yulang had no choice but to keep holding meetings to cheer up the employees, hoping to create more classic comics to compete with "The King of Painting".
By the end of July, Lei Weidong and Zhong Chuhong accounted for this month, and it turned out that it was only a net profit, Lei Weidong had an income of four million, and this is just the beginning, I believe that the profit will be higher next month.
Such an achievement made Zhong Chuhong, the manager of the finance department who settled accounts with Lei Weidong, stunned for a moment, and looked at Lei Weidong's eyes changed.
Zhong Chuhong likes talented men, such as her husband Zhu Jiading in the original time and space. When the two started filming, Zhu Jiading had not yet opened his own advertising company, and Zhong Chuhong rejected the pursuit of countless rich sons, but chose the talented Zhu Jiading.
Although Lei Weidong is not very old now, he is popular in writing novels, making comics and comics, and his talent in every gesture is particularly attractive in Zhong Chuhong's eyes, and he feels that Lei Weidong is the most handsome and handsome.
In the past few days, because the sales performance is too good, Lei Weidong also paid special attention to the information of some newspapers on the market, and found that there is no newspaper that publishes the information of "The King of Painting", it seems that Hong Kong people really look down on the comic industry, although the comic market is very profitable, but due to the serious atmosphere of Hong Kong literati, the reason why comics are just children's books, except for comic fans, no one pays attention to "The King of Painting".
This situation made Lei Weidong breathe a sigh of relief, because the current Hong Kong Public Security Bureau is not very good, although the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been established, but the Hong Kong police have maintained a long-standing notoriety that makes the public not trust the police very much. If those tycoons know that Lei Weidong's company is so profitable, it will be troublesome to want to take a stake in Lei Weidong's company.
Now Lei Weidong has thin legs and small arms, and there is no way to resist those tycoons. Fortunately, the comics industry is an unpopular industry, and if it weren't for the fact that in 1986, Huang Yulang officially listed "Yulang International Co., Ltd.", and the market value immediately increased by 20 times, Hong Kong would continue to belittle the comics industry.
In this case, it can be said that Lei Weidong was given the opportunity to make money honestly. It also made the comic industry the basis for the origin of Lei Weidong's economic empire.
If it's like a movie in the 80s, every time you make money, all the media are vying to report, what is the box office of 30 million, and the box office of 40 million, which mobilizes everyone's dream of making a fortune, seeing that making movies to make money, no matter who wants to drill into it, the film industry is like a battlefield, the underworld comes in, and the real estate tycoons also come in, making a mess in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Of course, some people in the comics industry have a unique vision, like Huang Yulang, but they know how much Lei Weidong makes through the popularity of "The King of Paintings", but Huang Yulang and others who are engaged in the comics industry all know that the industry like comics relies on the creativity of the editor-in-chief, and it is nothing without creativity. And the popularity of "The King of Paintings" depends on Lei Weidong's creativity, and it is nothing without Lei Weidong. It doesn't help to dig up Ma Rongcheng and others, everyone is mixed in the comics industry, and their worth is not as high as Lei Weidong, and they don't have the ability to threaten Lei Weidong.
So this period of time can be said to be the golden period of Xiaomi comics expansion, Lei Weidong asked Wu Bo to continue to enter the production equipment to expand production, anyway, there is a lot of vacant land in the factory area, don't worry about no place.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Lei Weidong specially explained that Zhong Chuhong, the only one who knows the specific profits, should be kept strictly confidential, although Zhong Chuhong, who is Lei Weidong's confidant, is still a little girl, Zhong Chuhong, who has helped her parents with housework since elementary school, knows the darkness of society clearly, and of course she will not talk nonsense.
In fact, for the company's earning strength, although Liu Wei and Zhao Hongjun, who have been following Lei Weidong as bodyguards, do not know the details, they still know the value of the large number of goods they see every day, and Wu Bo of the factory knows it in his heart, but Lei Weidong is very relieved about them, because they must know the darkness of society with their experience, so even if Lei Weidong doesn't say it, they won't talk nonsense everywhere.
However, just in case, Lei Weidong still instructed Wu Bo to continue to expand the defense force of the Security Division.
The comics collected by "The King of Paintings", except for the "Sailor Moon" chapter, are a little short, the other three are long-form comics, like "City Hunter" was released from 85 to 91 for six years, and the completed version has 32 volumes, and the number of pages in each volume is about 200 pages, of course, Lei Weidong uses the full version of the comics, not the abridged version of the mainland, because "City Hunter" is an adult comic. But it is still in line with the Hong Kong comic market, and although the complete version has colored shots, many details, twists and turns, and foreshadowing are explained very clearly. It can also highlight the character characteristics of the protagonist.
In addition to "City Hunter", even "Fist of the Big Dipper" also has 27 volumes, which is less than "City Hunter", even according to Lei Weidong's current fast distribution speed, it is enough for Lei Weidong to be published for several years, and more importantly, "Painting King" is a magazine, and there will be a single book in the future.
In Hong Kong alone, a "Painting King" deducts materials, labor, and miscellaneous expenses, and the net profit is about 4 million a month, and the profit is close to 50 million a year.
This is still a place in Hong Kong, as far as the Chinese-speaking area and Singapore, Taiwan, in addition, Hong Kong comics in Southeast Asia are also very popular, as well as Japan, a big comic country, the population consumption is much higher than Hong Kong, and in the previous life, only the Beidou God Fist sold hundreds of millions of copies.
It can be said that if all the places are done, even if it cannot be issued in full accordance with the model of Hong Kong, it is estimated that the company's profit will not be less than 500 million yuan a year, this is 77 years of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong dollar is not as depreciated as the later generations, and the prices are not as powerful as the later generations, think about the ordinary housing prices in Hong Kong in the future generations to hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars per square meter, and now one square is about 3,000 yuan.
This person who has never done a career has no right to speak.,I know that comics can make money.,But I don't know it's so terrifying.,Look at his ability to absorb money.,A suck can suck for several years.,The copyright can be used for a lifetime.,Mother's little Japan in her previous life was simply a money-grabbing thing.,It's too dark.。 It is said that in the previous life, Akira Toriyama's hometown, in order to be able to leave Akira Toriyama, a large taxpayer, built a separate road to the gatehouse of his house, and you can imagine how much money Akira Toriyama made through comics.
But now it is much more difficult for Akira Toriyama to achieve the status of his previous life, and the classic comic "Dragon Ball" Lei Weidong was booked early, of course, Lei Weidong did not go down to the end, at least he left the manga "Side Scroll Alalei" to Akira Toriyama
