Hong Kong Island Comic Master
Chapter 43 Planning for a Long Time
Chapter 43 Planning for a Long Time
"Okay, today's department meeting is over. I hope everyone can cheer up and work hard for the company's great development in the second half of the year! The meeting is dismissed!"
The entire meeting, after performance presentations, reports from various departments, and final speeches by Li Wanshui and Li Chongjun, finally came to an end with Li Wanshui's announcement.
During the whole process, compared to the others who were sitting upright, Li Wannian kept writing and drawing in his notebook, seemingly not listening at all.
However, after the heads of various departments and subsidiaries left the conference room one after another after hearing that the meeting was dismissed, Li Wannian did not leave.
Not only did he not leave, the other three members of the Li family, father and son, also did not leave.
"I'm leaving first, old Mr. Li, Mr. Li, little Mr. Li!" Zhong Chuhong said to several Mr. Lis before leaving.
"Go!"
Until the end, Zhong Chuhong had left, and only the four of them were left in the huge conference room.
"Brother, why do you ask me to attend your company's meeting as an outsider?"
Like Li Wannian, Li Wanshan, who was bored, felt equally uncomfortable sitting here. However, he had eyes and asked his doubts after everyone else left.
"I'm here to find you, so naturally I have something going on! The magazine's next goal is still to conquer overseas markets. I need your cooperation to expand channels and combat piracy!"
In fact, as early as the second half of 1976, the comics of Two-dimensional magazine represented by "Death" had already rushed out of Hong Kong Island and landed in Southeast Asia, where they were widely circulated among the Chinese community.
For the Chinese in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong Island is a weather vane. Generally, whatever is popular on Hong Kong Island will also be popular here, such as movies, music, TV series, etc., but this time it has become a cartoon.
However, what is more embarrassing is that the biggest driver of this is piracy!
In this day and age, perhaps Neon is the one doing relatively well in terms of copyright in Asia as a whole. In other places, including Hong Kong Island, piracy is everywhere, and it is difficult to completely curb it!
As a result, Li Wannian's works became popular in Southeast Asia and Wanwan, but magazines and companies could not make much money.
Li Wanshui and Li Wannian also realized the value of Southeast Asia at the first time. However, they suffered from the complicated power of local pirates. Even after a year of hard work, they still had little effect.
So, they handed over the matter to Li Wanshan, and achieved good results. In just half a year, they opened up sales channels in several countries and made remarkable progress!
Sure enough, Li Wanshan still has a special talent in this regard!
"I thought it was nothing, but that's it! Don't worry, I just visited the pier last week and have already negotiated with Siam! I also made an appointment with a big boss from Malaysia to go to Ma Hong Kong next week. At the gambling table I will try to capture him!"
Li Wanshan slapped his chest loudly.
"You have your own methods and rhythm of doing things. I won't interfere, but one thing is that before September, I want you to eliminate 60.00% of piracy in Southeast Asia!"
"No problem!" Li Wanshan frowned, thought for a while, and finally agreed.
"Nianzi, how's it going over there in Zhizhong?"
"He called me. Ten episodes of "Pokémon" have been completed, and two episodes of "MasterChef" have been completed. I will go over this afternoon to check and accept them!"
"That's good, animation will be our top priority in the second half of the year!"
That's right, the Li family now has an animation company!
However, this company does not belong to DreamWorks, but to Li Wannian personally.
At the beginning of last year, Wanwan established an animation production company called Far East Cartoon. The company only has 11 people, and it looks like a grassroots team.
However, after Li Wannian learned the news through Zheng Wen, he immediately invested his own money to acquire the animation production company.Because what Li Wannian likes is not this company at all, but Cai Zhizhong!
Cai Zhizhong, born in 1948, became a professional cartoonist at the age of 15. At the age of 23, he entered Guangqi Society as an art designer and taught himself cartoon drawing techniques. At the age of 29, he established the Far East Cartoon Company.
At this time, he was still not well-known. In the original time and space, in the 80s, he successively filmed cartoon movies such as "Colorful Cartoon Old Master" and "Oolong Yuan", which shocked the whole world. At the same time, he also created "Zhuangzi Shuo", " "Lao Tzu Said" and other classic comics.
It is impossible for Li Wannian to devote all his energy to animation production, but he has rich experience in later animation creation, so he can guide this animation company.
Of course, the premise is that he must have someone who can direct the overall situation and control the entire company for him.
As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. Cai Zhizhong is undoubtedly Li Wannian's general!
"Very good, all the follow-up work is ready, then I can give it a try!"
Li Wanshui was gearing up and seemed eager to give it a try.
"Ah Shui, are we being too aggressive? Allocating almost all of the company's cash flow and making equity pledge loans is like a snake swallowing an elephant!"
Li Chongjun still expressed doubts about Li Wanshui's aggressive strategy.
Although Li Chongjun has worked hard to learn business management knowledge in the past two years, he is old after all, and his overall thinking tends to be conservative.
It is good to be mature and prudent, but in the period of rapid development of the company, the hard work of young people is obviously more important!
"Don't worry, Dad. Nianzi and I have been planning this for a long time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a TV station!"
"That's right, Dad, the market in Hong Kong Island is too small. Now the growth potential of our comics has reached a bottleneck. We are about to hit the ceiling. Next, we must develop new types of works and use new platforms to drive them. It can allow the company to develop better! What's more, there are only a few TV stations in Hong Kong. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have such a good opportunity again in this life!"
Not only Li Wanshui, but also Li Wannian also joined in persuading Li Chongjun.
In fact, it's not that Li Chongjun disagrees. After all, the acquisition plan has already been launched, and it's too late to stop now.
The reason why Li Chongjun said this is more importantly, he wanted to act as a brake, hoping to occasionally brake the two brothers who were racing all the way to prevent them from having accidents on the road!
"Okay, just go ahead and do it. If something goes wrong, no matter what, we'll have to start over again! Anyway, there are still Nian Zai's comics!"
Seeing the two brothers with a firm attitude, Li Chongjun also let go of his last concern.
Seeing that the two parties had successfully communicated, Li Wannian suddenly thought of something and said:
"By the way, there is one more thing. I almost forgot to tell you. Let me inform you in advance that in the next 20 chapters of "Death", I will finish the first half of it!"
"what?"
The three said in unison.
At this time, not to mention Li Chongjun and Li Wanshui, even Li Wanshan who was sitting not far away from them and wandering around Taixu looked at Li Wannian in surprise after hearing Li Wannian's words.
