Chapter 389: New Building

The popularity of Ultraman movies has naturally led to the development of a large number of derivative industries, such as model figures, peripheral publications, and even backpacks, drinking glasses, keychains, and so on.

At first, Richard outsourced all these things to other manufacturers, and he, as the copyright owner, only took a commission for the authorized part. But then he soon found out that the profits from selling these things were really high, and as a party himself, he underestimated how high the Ultraman craze created by the combination of movies and reality, and the enthusiasm of consumers to buy was completely beyond his imagination. Even a life-size Ultraman model that seemed to him to be extremely painful - priced at more than 10,000 US dollars in what he thought was extremely unscientific - was actually snapped up by local tyrants.

Realizing the huge profit involved, Richard waved his hand and decided to simply do it ourselves. In the past, they earned a commission for authorization, and the actual production and sales process was all in the hands of foreign factories.

Don't look at Lao Mei, it seems that there is never any topic of "anti-corruption and anti-corruption", it seems that everyone in politics is self-denying, and everyone in business is honest and fair, but in fact, it is not the case at all. In the eyes of the capitalists, if you are in charge of a project or a project, as long as things are done in place, you should get some kickbacks, and that cannot be called greed at all!

All the peripheral cooperation of the "Ultraman 3" movie was terminated by him, and Richard acquired several processing plants and established a subsidiary of "Planet Pictures", which is responsible for the operation of movie-related peripherals.

He didn't know the statistics before, but at this time, he put together a list of various related peripheral items, and Richard found that there were really a lot of things. In addition to the model figures, there are also magazines, tapestries, street stalls, posters, pillows, themed keyboards, headphones, mice, cases......

He actually found an ice cream with his own theme. That's it, but when he gets the real thing and looks at it, he finds that it's a cone, and a stupid Ultraman head is stuffed in the cone, and the customer needs to bite the head off in one bite......

Richard's face darkened, and he almost couldn't help but slap the table. Which ZZ designed this thing in MD? Needless to say, I'll be dragged to the Pacific Ocean tonight to feed the fish!

Planet Pictures is getting bigger and bigger, and with the establishment of a subsidiary, some people soon pointed out that the original building space was not enough. Richard thought about it, this building that was bought when the company was founded does seem a little stingy today, and it is almost time to change it.

But where to move?

Someone suggested that maybe we could move to Bacchus House?

Richard was a little curious. Isn't Bacchus Mansion the Fantastic Four's territory? Is this building still for sale?

As soon as I learned about it, it turned out that the Fantastic Four were so poor that they couldn't open the pot, to the point where they had to sell their houses to pay off their debts. This seems to be incredible - sitting in a prime New York city in a landmark building, as a public figure whose exposure is no less popular than that of a popular star, and there are world-class scientists like Shen Stick, but the Fantastic Four can be in debt and have no food, and I don't know if this is a superpower......

I don't know how poor the Fantastic Four would choose to sell the building, but Richard didn't dare to buy this building. As we all know, Shen Stick De spends his days in the mansion doing research that ordinary people can't even think of, and he is especially keen on exploring the space that people don't understand, and the result is that a mess of otherworldly creatures will appear at the end of the Bacchus Mansion every three days.

Richard felt that if anyone wanted to buy Bacchus Mansion, it must be in the brain. It's not surprising that all kinds of monsters come out of the corner of the building any day, and whoever likes to buy this hellish place buys it.

The first plan was rejected, and a group of experts met and analyzed it for a long time, and came up with an idea that they agreed was good - to buy the original building of the Doom Group.

At the beginning, Dr. Victor von Doom was taken from heaven to hell by his old classmate, and the consortium worth tens of billions went bankrupt on the spot, and even the steps of struggle were left in one step. After that, the Doom building was naturally abandoned, and it was left alone in a prime location in New York to eat ashes.

Is there anyone who came up with the idea for this building? Of course there are. After all, the building of the Doom Group was also a landmark in New York, and the location is good, and the building is also very tall and magnificent. It's just that most of the people who inspected the building were eventually persuaded to quit without exception.

Comrade Doom may have been a little paranoid, and one of his office buildings was built like a military fortress. I didn't know if I didn't know and was startled when I saw it, and everyone went to the floor to investigate only to find that Doom actually hid a machine gun and a Vulcan cannon in the mezzanine of his building! The whole building looks very normal on the outside, but in fact, there is a mystery inside. Every glass of the building is bulletproof and impact-resistant, the outer walls of the building are padded with an alloy layer that can absorb impacts, and a device is installed in the foundation that can activate the signal shielding field at any time, so that the building can be isolated from the outside world at any time.

No one knows why Doom added so many strange things to his office building, but a bunch of military-grade materials must be ridiculously expensive when you think about it with your feet, and no one will buy a superfortress in the center of New York City when they are full?

But don't mention, after the battle of New York, a large number of buildings in the city were demolished, and all Stark Buildings and Osborne Towers were damaged to varying degrees, except for the empty building of Doom, which was only slightly injured. Occasionally, the aliens hit this building with one or two lasers, at most they scratched a little bit of skin, and they couldn't break its defenses at all......

Richard thought the building was pretty good. Not for anything else, just because it's strong!

He felt that everyone really lacked forward-looking vision. What is the most important thing about buying property in New York? Of course, the building is strong enough! Not only must it be able to resist earthquakes and winds, but it must also be able to block lasers and missiles. And all of the above-mentioned buildings left by Comrade Doom can do it!

Theoretically, after the Battle of New York, there should be no more large-scale conflicts in New York. Street gangsters and super-capable criminals make trouble or something, even if they hit their building, they won't cause any loss. Coupled with the fact that the whole city was being rebuilt after the Battle of New York, New York property prices have fallen below record lows, and what you buy is what you earn during this period.

So what else do you want to do? Buy, buy, buy! Don't go through the procedure and chop your hands directly!

Of course, if any more xenomorphs happened to come out from under the foundation of the building, then he didn't say that......
