Since the animation "That Year of the Rabbit" became a hit, animation peripherals have begun to continuously create surprising wealth for the company.
Dolls, keychains, mobile phone cases, posters, schoolbags...
Countless small objects and every benefit created made Meng Xu, a novice with only a high school education and no understanding of business concepts, as excited as in a dream.
Thanks to the animation "That Year of the Rabbit", Tiancheng Toy Factory, a toy factory that was once in decline, gradually started to get on the right track and can still enjoy soup in the fiercely competitive surrounding industries.
["Those Things About That Rabbit That Year" is just an opportunity, but you can't always have this kind of opportunity! 】
[I asked people in the industry to help evaluate "Spider-Man". The possibility of this movie becoming a hit is really low. It is very useless. We can get the peripheral authorization for this movie, but I think Mr. Meng, you should
Let’s talk to Mr. Zhou. It’s impossible for “Spider-Man” to also give a share price for “Those Years of That Rabbit”...]
[Mr. Meng? Are you crazy? What did you talk about with Huaxing’s business department? How did you give Zhou Yang 20% of the shares of Tiancheng Toys? Oh my god! You are really crazy!]
[Mr. Meng, I want to resign. If you keep going your own way, Tiancheng Toys will collapse again sooner or later!]
【……】
After "That Rabbit That Year", Meng Xu realized that his academic qualifications were not high. If he wanted to truly manage a company, in addition to learning all aspects of management knowledge on his own, he also needed the assistance of talents.
then……
He hired a returnee from overseas with a good reputation at a high salary to help manage the company.
When the overseas returnee joined Tiancheng Toys, he indeed provided very good suggestions for the up-and-down management of Tiancheng Toys. At first, the company started to have the atmosphere of a big company, and it looked like it was prospering.
Based on trust and inexplicable admiration for high-end talents, Meng Xu gave almost everything in the toy factory to this turtle for management.
But gradually...
He found that his philosophy was increasingly different from that of the turtle, who kept gesticulating at the management level and even reached out to the marketing department.
Before "Lizard Man" was released, he strongly requested his company to obtain peripheral authorization for "Lizard Man".
The peripheral licensing of "Lizard Man" was extremely expensive. Meng Xu also fought for it, but he really couldn't afford the high fee and gave up. However, the turtle encouraged himself desperately, telling himself that he must do it, and told himself
In the future movie market, "superhero movies" will definitely be the mainstream, and the huge benefits contained in them are like gold mines.
That makes sense...
So Meng Xu resolutely put down everything in order not to be eliminated by the times, but he still couldn't compete in the market and was eliminated.
Later, the failure of "Lizard Man" made Meng Xu feel lucky...
Those agents who grabbed the peripheral licenses and paid a large sum of money saw the box office and sold the "Lizard Man" peripherals in an extremely desperate mood. Naturally, they all sold out.
The failure of "The Lizard Man" had a huge impact on the entire superhero market. When "Spider-Man" came out, even Zhou Yang's golden brand was ignored.
When Huaxing contacted Meng Xu, who was about to sign the agreement, he encountered strong opposition from the returned executive!
He said countless bad things about "Spider-Man" and said that this was extremely unwise behavior, and even threatened himself with resignation...
Meng Xu did not listen to the returnee's words, but chatted with Zhang Genshui.
"The more others don't like it, the more you have to give it a try!"
"Huaxing is worth investing in. You can even give up part of your shares in exchange for all future copyright authorizations from Huaxing. If you want to succeed, you must make sacrifices..."
"The wind outlet, Xiao Meng, you have to know what the wind outlet is. When the wind blows, even a pig can be blown away!"
"..."
If Tiancheng and Huaxing are two countries, Zhang Genshui's words are definitely on the level of "traitor". Isn't this ceding territory for glory?
But after it's over...
Meng Xu felt so enlightened that he actually did this.
The final result of this was that the senior executive who returned the job not only looked at himself like a fool, but even resigned with a curse.
I feel like he is like a helpless Adou!
Even everyone in the company felt like idiots, and people kept looking at Meng Xu strangely.
This state lasted until "Spider-Man" was released...
"Mr. Zhou, is this overseas expansion a little too hasty?"
""Spider-Man" premiered in China and was a great success, but there is still a lot of resistance overseas... and the overseas peripheral market has actually been monopolized for a long time. Disney, DV peripheral film and television, comic strip, these are all
It is a well-known peripheral. It is really difficult for us in China to develop overseas..."
"I personally think that we should focus on the domestic market. At present, the domestic market is still dominated by many other overseas companies. I think that first consolidating our domestic market and wrestling with these large companies is what we should do...
…”
On the plane.
Meng Xu felt very inspired after looking at the sales of "Spider-Man" peripherals within one day yesterday, and inevitably some ambition began to emerge in his heart.
Next to him, Xu Yangqing, general manager of the marketing department, was also celebrating the first victory of "Spider-Man", but he still expressed his worries.
"I'll hang out with Mr. Zhou, and whatever Mr. Zhou says will be whatever he says..."
Meng Xu shook his head, without any sense of crisis on his face.
That day, he chatted with Zhang Genshui.
After chatting, he felt that his future life had become very clear, as if he had already seen the bright future.
Zhou Yang is the outlet, and he is the pig.
After more than ten hours of flying, Meng Xu did not feel tired, but instead felt energetic all over his body.
When he walked down Delaware and felt the exotic scenery, a few words even came to his mind.
I come!
I see!
I conquer!
……………………
From the moment Xu Mei received the box office of "Spider-Man", her admiration for Zhou Yang could not be greater!
At the same time, I felt a sense of shame inexplicably.
When Zhou Yang blindly expanded and filmed "Spider-Man", Xu Mei was opposed to it, and she opposed it quite strongly.
Unless this person knows the future, otherwise, doing so is tantamount to seeking death!
She once felt pessimistic about the future of "Hua Xing" and felt that Hua Xing was probably doomed.
However……
Now she only feels that she is superficial, vulgar, and ignorant...
All kinds of emotions made her feel ashamed.
"Mr. Zhou, you don't seem surprised. It seems... you're not as happy as you imagined? It seems..."
Noon on June 21st.
Xu Mei followed Zhou Yang to the Xingyang Cinema in Newcastle County.
Xu Mei found that Zhou Yang rarely showed excitement recently. Even when he reported the box office to Mr. Zhou early this morning, Zhou Yang just nodded lightly and didn't ask too much.
It seemed that everything was as he expected.
Xu Mei was suddenly very eager to know what Zhou Yang was thinking deep in his heart, and even vaguely realized that Zhou Yang seemed to have a blueprint in his heart...
"What does it look like?" Zhou Yang looked at Xu Mei.
"It's like knowing the future trend. Sometimes, I really doubt that you are a time traveler or a reborn person. Many things in the past two years are so magical that it is incredible..." Xu Mei admired sincerely.
"Ha..." Zhou Yang's face twitched slightly, then returned to calm, and then finally laughed, but did not answer anything.
Many things are too unbelievable, they are his biggest secrets, and even if he says them, no one will believe them.
During this time...
As he came into contact with more and more things, Zhou Yang found that he had become very indifferent to the so-called "success" and was always calm...
I don't know when he started to lose the sense of success he had when filming "Under the Mine".
"Mr. Zhou, what are we going to do next?" Xu Mei didn't notice the strangeness, she also laughed, and then asked again.
"Let's look at the market situation first..."
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to rent the store next door?"
"With this idea, "Spider-Man" can bring about a wave of traffic, and this wave of traffic may set off a craze..."
Zhou Yang and Xu Mei stood at the entrance of the crowded Xingyang Cinema. Zhou Yang looked at the surrounding stores, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then murmured to himself.
After a while, his phone rang.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm here, Mr. Zhou!"
After answering the phone, Zhou Yang saw Meng Xu, who was visiting Laomei for the first time, getting out of the car like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. He was so excited that he looked here and there. When he saw Zhou Yang, he rushed towards him excitedly.
………………
New Castle County.
Howard followed the team to this street of Xingyang Cinema Line.
When he saw people coming and going in the area centered on the movie theater on this street, and even the surrounding areas were affected by the financial crisis, and some stores that were about to close down began to be reactivated by the traffic brought by "Spider-Man", Howard's face
Showing a somewhat serious expression.
He also saw the new signboard of "Authentic Chinese Kung Fu Tea" that was being renovated not far away...
"God, this remote place is so busy!"
"A year ago, when I came here, there was basically no one here..."
He heard passers-by praising around him.
"Mr. Governor, "Spider-Man" is indeed very popular, but there is no guarantee that the next movie will also be popular. Some cities became popular because of the gold mines, but after the gold mines disappeared, the cities began to become deserted, like a dead city...
..." The analysts from Howard's team were quite sensible. After seeing this grand occasion, they shook their heads.
Howard nodded and said nothing.
The popularity of many things has a time limit. This is a rule!
Just when he was about to go to the cinema to watch it, he noticed a figure that was both strange and familiar.
He stopped.
He had a good memory and thought of this figure. It seemed that he was the young man who came to talk to him about the film and television base almost a year ago.
This young man seems to be renting a house with another Chinese young man.
