The huge sales of Ultraman movies have naturally led to the development of a large number of spin-off industries, such as model figures, peripheral publications, and even backpacks, water bottles, keychains, etc. that involve the theme of Ultraman's image.
wait.
At first, Richard outsourced all these things to other manufacturers. As the copyright holder, he only took the authorized commission. But then he soon discovered that the profits from selling these things were really high. As a client, he underestimated it.
He knew how high the Ultraman craze was created by the combination of movies and reality. Consumers’ enthusiasm for purchasing completely exceeded his imagination. Even a life-size Ultraman model was extremely painful to him.
The price of more than 10,000 U.S. dollars, which he thought was extremely unscientific, was actually snapped up by local tycoons.
Realizing the huge profits involved, Richard waved his hand and decided to just do it ourselves. In the past, we had earned a licensing fee, and the actual production and sales process was all in the hands of the foreign factory. Who knows what happened in the process?
How much did they lose because of their greed for ink?
Don't look at it. The topic of "anti-corruption" has never been mentioned in the United States. It seems that everyone in politics is self-denial and everyone in business is honest and fair. In fact, this is not the case at all. Among the capitalists
It seems that you are responsible for one project after another. As long as things are done well, you should get some kickbacks. That cannot be called greed at all!
All peripheral cooperation for the "Ultraman 3" movie was terminated by him. Richard acquired several processing plants and established a subsidiary under "Planet Pictures" to be responsible for the operation of movie-related peripherals.
He didn't know it since he didn't count it before. At this time, he gathered together various related peripheral items and made a list. Richard found that there were quite a lot of things. The model figures were all standard. In addition, there were also a series of magazines.
He actually found an ice cream with his own theme. That was fine, but when he got the actual product and looked at it, he found that it was just a cone with a silly Ultraman head stuffed into the cone.
, the customer needs to bite this head off in one bite...
Richard's face was dark and he almost couldn't help but slap the table. Which zz designed this thing? Needless to say, I will drag it to the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish tonight!
As Planet Pictures grew bigger and bigger, and with the establishment of a subsidiary company, someone soon pointed out that the original building space was not enough. Richard thought the same thing. The building he bought when the company was established does look good today.
It's a bit stingy, and it's almost time to change it.
But where to move?
Someone suggested that maybe we could move to Backus Tower?
Richard was a little curious. Isn't the Backus Building the territory of the Fantastic Four? Is this building still for sale?
As soon as I found out about it, I realized that the Fantastic Four were almost too poor to pay off their debts, to the point where they had to sell their buildings to pay off their debts. It seems incredible to say that they own a landmark building in a prime location in New York.
There are public figures whose exposure and popularity are as high as those of popular celebrities, and there are also world-class scientists like Dracula, but the Fantastic Four are so debt-ridden that they have no food to eat, and I don’t know if this is a superpower.
.....
I don’t know how poor the Fantastic Four have to be before they choose to sell the building, but Richard doesn’t dare to buy this building. As we all know, Goddess spends all day doing research in the building that ordinary people can’t even think of. He is very special.
Being keen on exploring space that people don't understand, the result is that a mess of alien creatures will appear in the Bacchus Building every three days.
Richard felt that if anyone wanted to buy the Backus Building, they must be out of their minds. It would be no surprise that all kinds of monsters would come out of the corner of the building on any day. Whoever wants to buy this ghost place can buy it.
After the first set of plans was rejected, a group of experts met again for a long time to analyze and came up with an idea that they all agreed was a good idea to buy the original Dum Group building.
When Dr. Victor von Doom was tricked from heaven to hell by his old classmate, the God of Destiny, the consortium worth tens of billions went bankrupt, and even the steps to struggle were left behind. After that, the Doom Building was naturally abandoned.
, left alone to eat ashes in a prime location in New York.
Are there people who came up with the idea for this building? Of course there are. After all, the Doom Group’s building was once a New York landmark. The location was well chosen and the building was very tall and grand. But most people who inspected this building ended up...
Without exception, they were dismissed.
Comrade Doom may be a bit paranoid about persecution. He built an office building like a military fortress. It was shocking to see that. When everyone went to the floor to inspect, they discovered that Doom was actually on the mezzanine of his building.
There are also machine guns and Vulcan cannons hidden inside! The whole building looks very normal on the outside, but it actually hides mysteries inside. Every glass window in the building is bulletproof and impact-resistant, and the outer walls of the building are lined with impact-absorbing alloy layers.
A device is installed that can activate the signal shielding field at any time, which can isolate the building from signals and the outside world at any time.
No one knows why Doom would add so many weird things to his office building, but a bunch of military-grade materials must be ridiculously expensive, and no one would be able to afford it in New York City.
Is the center going to buy a super fortress?
But don’t mention it yet. After the Battle of New York, a large number of buildings in the city were demolished. The Stark Tower and the Osborn Building were all damaged to varying degrees. Only the empty building in Doom was slightly damaged.
Injury. The aliens occasionally hit the roof of this building with one or two lasers and scratched the skin, but they couldn't break its defense at all...
Richard actually thinks that the Doom building is quite good. If not for anything else, just because it is strong!
He feels that everyone really lacks forward-looking vision. What is the most important thing when buying real estate in New York? Of course, the building must be strong enough! It must not only be able to withstand earthquakes and wind, but also be able to block lasers and missiles.
This building left behind by Comrade Doom can do this!
The theory is that after the Battle of New York, there should be no large-scale conflicts in New York. Street gangs and super criminals are causing trouble, and even if they attack their building, they will not cause much damage. In addition, after the Battle of New York, there will be no more large-scale conflicts in New York.
Everything is being rebuilt, and real estate prices in New York have fallen below record lows. You can make money by buying during this period.
So what else are you thinking about? Buy, buy, buy! Just buy without going through the process!
Of course, if another alien beast happens to emerge from under the building's foundation, then pretend he didn't say this...
