Lin Zuhui also did not expect that "Manke SHOW" would break the sales volume of the "Feng Yun" comic series at the fastest speed. Just over two months after its publication, it became the No. 1 comic sales volume in Hong Kong, with sales of 250,000 per issue.
Multiple copies.
At the same time, the ratings of the "Detective Conan" animation also experienced a surge in ratings after Teng Shinichi was poisoned and shrunk into the second episode of Conan after the first episode performed poorly.
TMD, it turns out that the little Conan is more lovable!
The animation of this comic was produced in Japan, and then broadcast on ATV and Asia Satellite TV at staggered times. It gained a lot of fans and viewers in a short period of time. It also has a certain fan base overseas.
Of course, Lin Zuhui is not in a hurry to repay, because he knows that the real money will be made when he introduces the animation of "Detective Conan" overseas and cooperates with overseas publishers to publish the stand-alone volume of "Detective Conan".
.
It is impossible for others to publish the "Manke SHOW" serial magazine, they will only publish the single volume of "Detective Conan", including the mainland.
Encouraged by the good news, Lin Zuhui came to the "Detective Conan" studio in the News Building and chatted with the creative staff about the plot of "Detective Conan".
This studio has a main writer and a screenwriter, unlike in the previous life Gosho Aoyama, who was both the main writer and the screenwriter (and also had a team); but that is not the case at Wanhui Comics, where the main writer, screenwriter, deputy chief writer, assistant, etc. are a big team.
The reason for this is that Lin Zuhui is also worried that the Japanese main writer will cheat him out of his outline, or that he will quit at any time. Therefore, whether it is "Detective Conan" or "Pokémon", if the Japanese main writer Xiangzi does not work,
It does not have much impact on subsequent development.
Lin Zuhui's outline is actually very rough, and it mainly relies on the cooperation of the creative team. In fact, "Detective Conan" is the best creation. He repeatedly studied "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" and added elements of the Western "007 Series" to make the entire animation more Western.
Change it a bit. Moreover, for some other people’s cases, you can also use your own matryoshka dolls.
"Detective Conan" is progressing smoothly, and "Pokémon" is also expected to start serialization this month, which encourages Lin Zuhui. "Pokémon" is an IP masterpiece, and its value is much higher than "Detective Conan".
This anime originally appeared on Nintendo's game console and then was made into an animation.
Nowadays, Wanhui Comics plans to publish comics first and then make animations. As for future games, whether it is licensing or something else, that is a matter for later.
Lin Zuhui called Luo Benzheng and asked: "What is the income and expenditure of Wanhui Comics Club?"
The annual profit level of Wanhui Comics itself is around 250 million Hong Kong dollars, and Lin Zuhui invested 300 million Hong Kong dollars at the beginning of the year, mainly for the acquisition of animation production companies and toy companies.
Luo Benzheng said: "The "Manke SHOW" department is already profitable, but we are continuing to lay out the comic industry chain, and the profit is meager."
The so-called "Manke Show" department is actually the Japanese comic style department, covering "Manke Show", animation production company, and toy factory, which belong to this department.
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "As long as we can break even, as I said, the profits lie overseas, not in Hong Kong. In the early stage, investment will be the main focus. Once there are many fans overseas, then single books and animation copyrights will be released overseas.
Comic peripherals will become a golden rooster for placing orders!"
Luo Benzheng nodded and said: "Not only that, our comic training class is getting bigger and bigger, and these talents can only develop in our company, and we will also harvest more excellent works!"
The comic training class does not recruit apprentices with no basic skills, but recruits students majoring in art or with comic skills. They enjoy subsidies from Wanhui Comics Club, which is the same as the TV station artist training class.
Hong Kong does not need college students majoring in comics. As long as there are art majors, the comics industry will have successors. For example, Gosho Aoyama, the previous author of "Detective Conan", is an art major.
Lin Zuhui said seriously: "I can do almost what I can do. You have to lead the comics industry in Hong Kong and learn more from Japan to form an industrial chain. Don't worry about the small market. As long as the works are excellent, the world will be our market."
This sentence is not a big lie. Even the copyrights of works such as "Dragon and Tiger Gate" have been sold to Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. Why should we worry about the small market!
Only when your works speak for yourself can you be real!
"Okay, we will definitely work hard!"
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction. Once the rights to the stand-alone book and animation of "Detective Conan" were purchased overseas, he would vigorously promote the "Comic Revitalization of Hong Kong".
At that time, earn some more reputation and increase your influence. Package yourself as a Hong Kong-loving businessman who serves Hong Kong and the people.
In fact, Wanhui Comics Club has already gained a strong reputation in Hong Kong!
Fans of Xiangjiang comics who have read "Manke SHOW" magazine and the animation "Detective Conan" have spread the word to their friends around them.
"We in Xiangjiang can also publish high-quality comic magazines and produce high-quality animations!"
For a time, the entire comics industry in Xiangjiang was shocked.
When did Xiangjiang's comics become dominated by the Japanese comic style again, and it was still the Japanese comic style created by Xiangjiang Company.
Stanley Prison.
Huang Yulang, who was serving his sentence, was ridiculed by the prison guard: "Huang Sheng, when you are released from prison, you may not have a place in the comics industry in Xiangjiang!"
Although Huang Yulang is serving his sentence, Stanley Prison has given him preferential treatment because he is not a heinous person, and although he has been sentenced to four years, he is expected to be released from prison in half a year.
Because of this, Huang Yulang often brags to his fellow inmates and prison guards in prison (his nature). When he is released from prison, he will definitely take away his reputation as the "No. 1 cartoonist in Xiangjiang" and start a new one, and those apprentices will
Will abandon Wanhui Comics Club one after another.
Huang Yulang heard the prison guard's teasing and said confidently: "It's impossible. After I am released from prison, I will definitely be the most popular cartoonist. If you don't believe it, let's wait and see!"
Several prison guards laughed one after another. One prison guard smiled and threw Huang Yulang a copy of the latest "Manke Show" and said: "When you are released from prison, maybe you will have a Japanese comic-style world! This magazine
, more than two months after its publication, sales have reached more than 250,000 copies, surpassing "Wind and Cloud". Wanhui Comics invested 500 million Hong Kong dollars to create a whole industry chain, animation production, toy factories, etc. It seems that it is going to vigorously
Develop Japanese-style comics. I am a fan of "Detective Conan", and I don't like to watch your fights like Dragon Tiger Gate anymore!"
The prison guard seemed to be a friend of comics, and he tirelessly introduced the situation outside. Huang Yulang suddenly became incredulous. Japanese comics did dominate Hong Kong in the past, but since the release of his "Dragon and Tiger Gate", Japanese comics have fallen behind.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zuhui went in the opposite direction, vigorously developed the Japanese comic style, and laid out the entire industry chain. It seems that he is also very optimistic about the surrounding comics.
He had never thought about this kind of courage!
For a moment, Huang Yulang wished he could be released from prison immediately and go see the world outside.
"In half a year, I can be released from prison. I will never give in!"
"I want to tell everyone that I am still a hit!"
Huang Yulang whispered to encourage himself!
On Saturday, Big D will meet at the Jockey Club in Happy Valley.
The Jockey Club in Happy Valley has its headquarters, and its facilities are far better than those at Sha Tin Racecourse because there is a Jockey Club here.
The Jockey Club is the clubhouse. This club has private football fields, private swimming pools, and private tennis courts, and there are many of them. There is also a whole building that is a clubhouse, top-notch restaurants, and top-notch private rooms.
Many Jockey Club members come to the Jockey Club from the morning if they have nothing to do and spend the whole day, feeling more comfortable than at home.
Everyone was in a large private room, chatting and drinking wine, but there were no girls.
Today is the opening day of the annual Jockey Club. The Jockey Club is also crowded with people. Although the Big D Club is a very loose organization (there are no rules, just play together), it is a very famous group in Hong Kong.
.
After all, Lin Zuhui and Zheng Yutong are both among the top ten chaebols in Hong Kong, and Liu Luanxiong is also among the top ten substitute chaebols.
Although Liu Luanxiong was cut off from many opportunities by Lin Zuhui, almost all of the top ten candidate chaebols and the top ten chaebols were cut off by Lin Zuhui. Therefore, Liu Luanxiong is still ranked tenth among the top ten candidate chaebols.
The first nine of Liu Luanxiong are: Hu Yingxiang, Henglong Chen, Guo Lingcan, Li Guobao, Xinhe Huang, Run Run Shaw, Luo Xurui, Li Shijia, and Lin Shaoliang.
Among the top ten candidate chaebols, except for Hu Yingxiang, Li Guobao, and Lin Zuhui, they may not have or rarely robbed their careers. The rest have been robbed of many opportunities by Lin Zuhui.
Of course, those who robbed the most were the top ten chaebols.
The top ten chaebols are: Lam Zuhui family, Li Chaoren family, Keswick family, Guo Bingxiang family, Lee Shau Kee family, Swire family (Swire), Bao Yugang family (still there), Kadoorie family, Cheng Yutong family, and Guo Huonian family.
Zheng Yutong drank red wine and said casually: "My Chungking Mansion that was burned down is going to be sold. There is a feng shui problem!"
Lin Zuhui's time travel did not change all of history.
Stock trends and real estate trends have not changed, because this is the general trend;
Chungking Mansions was also burned down last week, but its fate did not change. This was probably because of the confusion and poor management of that building.
As for Feng Shui, Lin Zuhui is a believer but not a believer - if it doesn't involve his own interests, he will believe it; if it involves his own interests, even if the king of heaven comes, he won't believe it either.
New Era Group also hires a Feng Shui master when building a building because it gives them peace of mind!
However, as far as Chungking Mansions is concerned, Lin Zuhui will not get involved at all. Even if he knew that he could earn 400 to 500 million, he would not even think about it. He is not short of money!
If his net worth was only 1 billion, he would definitely give it a try!
The key is that he is now worth hundreds of billions, and he doesn't even look down on it.
As for reminding Fang Jin to take it down, he won't do it. He doesn't want to mess with it, and he can't even come up with ideas;
Moreover, Fang Jin is now worth more than one billion and does not need much support from Lin Zuhui.
Although there was no reminder from Lin Zuhui, Fang Jin seemed very moved!
"Uncle Tong, how much do you plan to pay?" Fang Jin asked immediately.
Over there, Liu Luanxiong saw that Fang Jin had intervened, with a trace of regret on his face. He also thought of his younger brother Luo Zhaohui. However, Luo Zhaohui was not qualified to squeeze into this organization.
Fang Jin could play millions of cards with Zheng Yutong a long time ago, so he naturally didn't need Lin Zuhui's introduction.
Zheng Yutong saw that Fang Jin was interested, so he also wanted to help him. This boy could do it. He was never lazy when playing cards, and he never had stage fright when he played cards. He could eat whatever he wanted while playing cards at Zheng's house. He knew how to deal with things!
In the big D game, Lin Zuhui doesn't like to play cards for a long time. Zheng Yutong 'doesn't like' him and only likes to play with him. Pan Dickson is about the same, and the others are not strong enough. Therefore, when playing against big D, you have to count on Liu Luanxiong, Yang Shoucheng,
Fang Jin.
"If Ah Jin is interested, give me 140 million to take it!"
"Uncle Xie Tong, I have been raising money for you recently!"
When Fang Jin saw that Lin Zuhui neither stopped nor expressed his position, he understood that the boss did not want to get involved in this matter, so he had no intention of borrowing 140 million in cash from China Commercial Bank. He could still raise it. After all, there was a listed company.
The market value of Great Wisdom Development is over 800 million.
He felt that there was God's will in the dark. At the suggestion of his boss, he opened a construction and decoration company and started a business of flipping old houses - renovating old buildings and then dividing them into units for sale. Today they are worth 300 million
The buildings on the left and right can be taken down for only half, which he thinks is a very good deal.
As for the feng shui issue, he felt that after the decoration was completed, it would look completely new. As for the personal consequences, Fang Jin always kept in mind the boss's words, as long as he did not engage in gambling and his debt did not exceed 40%, he would always be invincible.
After this topic, Yang Shoucheng also asked Lin Zuhui for advice and said: "Zu Hui, I have recently considered entering the media and entertainment industry, especially the 'Hong Kong culture revitalizes Hong Kong' you mentioned, which interests me very much!"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Let's have fun then! Do you have a partner?"
Yang Shoucheng said honestly: "We are talking with Xinyi Co., Ltd.!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "The New Paper is not bad, but the Economic Weekly is almost boring!"
Yang Shoucheng responded: "It is incomparable with Wanhui Media. You are just short of acquiring the South China Morning Post!"
Everyone looked at Lin Zuhui, "South China Morning Post" is a giant, it is the official newspaper equivalent to Hong Kong!
Lin Zuhui shook his head and said: "We already have a TV station, so why spend that wasted money! With that money, I might as well buy a satellite to launch and build a satellite TV network!"
Zheng Yutong was immediately surprised. As the second shareholder of ATV, he became somewhat interested.
"Are you really planning to set up a satellite TV network?"
"Sooner or later! But don't worry, the satellite must have someone's cooperation. I just hope to add three more channels."
Zheng Yutong nodded and said: "You really have something to do, I support you!" He believed in Lin Zuhui's business vision!
Fang Jin interjected: "I heard that TVB and Dragon TV are collaborating recently, and TVB is also planning to launch its own Hong Kong idol group!"
Lin Zuhui said directly and calmly: "Hong Kong culture is a huge system, and TVB is just learning a little bit! Of course, I hope everyone will come to learn. There is strength in numbers, and we can earn foreign exchange together!"
