Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

In the office of a certain company on Hong Kong Island.

An old man was listening to the words coming from the tape recorder.

If Xu Damao were here, he would be surprised. That was the scene where he and Xia M were bragging!

"Hundreds of millions, billions, tens of billions..."

The old man smiled at a middle-aged man next to him and said, "As a fellow countryman, I seem to have great ambitions!

Xiao Chen, what do you think of this matter? "

The middle-aged man leaned slightly and sat on the sofa, a little restrained. He said to the old man: "I personally feel that although the words are a bit exaggerated, they are practical to a certain extent.

The children's market is something we haven't paid much attention to on Hong Kong Island.

And we do need to develop our own revenue streams.

Our family is short of foreign exchange! "

"Can we talk?" the old man asked again.

"Ms. Xia likes that comic character very much." The middle-aged man said to him.

"That means there is a market, right?" the old man asked again.

"The investment is not big. We only need one issue, printing, and channels ourselves. There is still a shortage of comic talents." The middle-aged man replied.

"Can't we do it ourselves? Sanmao, for example, is also very popular!" The elderly must have thought more carefully.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then said: "I think this is a win-win situation, whether it's buying horse bones for thousands of dollars, or simply making money. We need some outstanding talents to represent us outside.

And like those of Sanmao, the imprint is too obvious, and if it is put into the market, it may encounter pressure from other aspects. "

"Then let's talk!" the old man said. The clouds are light and the wind is light, just treat it as a free chess piece.

Xu Damao didn't expect today's scene. If he knew, he wouldn't need to run away secretly!

It would be great to just let Lou Xiaoe talk here, and then come over openly.

This matter itself is to cultivate the market in the early stage, and the investment is not large.

And to be honest, children's comics in Hong Kong are indeed a blank space now. There are some short stories, but there are basically no long ones like McDull in later generations.

Therefore, after negotiation between the two parties, Xu Damao provided start-up funds. Xia M, as a representative, invested in comic talents, printing, channels, and issues. Xu Damao invested 200,000 for 51% of the shares.

Rainwater directly exchanged all the large yellow croakers she brought out with this money and invested part of it. Lou Xiaoe got the rest by mortgaging her own building.

Xu Damao hugged his two daughters-in-law and couldn't help but asked curiously: "You just believe me so much?"

Yu Yu’s appetite has been very good these days, and his little mouth keeps eating, just like a little hamster. Hearing Xu Damao say this, he paused for a moment, and then replied: "I don't believe it, who do you believe?"

Lou Xiao'e opened Xu Damao's hands and said sarcastically: "If I am a big one, I can't be inferior to a small one, right?"

The rain was not used to Lou Xiao'e, so he bypassed Xu Damao, threw himself on Lou Xiao'e, and shouted to Lou Xiao'e charmingly: "Sister! You were the one who pushed me to Brother Damao back then."

Lou Xiao'e quickly supported He Yuyu and scolded: "Be careful, there is a baby in your belly!"

When he sat down with Yu Yu, he smiled again and said: "It's all my fault. I don't know who was so shameless that he forced his way to my house at that time?"

Yuyu said directly: "That's my home too."

"It wasn't your home at that time." Lou Xiao'e refused to give in.

……

When the trouble was enough, Lou Xiao'e said to Xu Damao: "Our restaurant's monthly income is enough to support our family.

You don’t have to worry about this. The worst case scenario is that you’ll lose money and we’ll start over from the beginning. "

This is the pride of a housewife.

Of course, Lou Xiao'e also had her own little thoughts. First of all, she believed in Xu Damao, and for the sake of her children, she also wanted to have all the initiative in the Xu family's property in her hands.

Otherwise, running a newspaper at this time would only cost tens of thousands of yuan at most (printing and leasing all channels), so why invest so much money in Xu Damao?

When Mr. Jin started Mingbao, he first invested 30,000 yuan, and then invested 50,000 yuan. This is well documented.

Furthermore, Lou Xiao'e also has her own little thoughts. After all, the partner looks like a purely commercial company, but everyone knows who is standing behind it.

Lou Xiao'e also wants the cooperation to be successful. Xu Damao can have some weight in the hearts of those people, and if something happens to Lou Tan's side, they can also help here.

Although the family arrived in Hong Kong Island, they paid attention to the news in Sijiucheng every day, and Xu Damao knew the specific time point. So during this period of time, Xu Damao was also in a hurry, living on his fingers every day.

On the painting side, a certain agency arranged for professionals to come over. Xu Damao just communicated with him and he drew the original picture.

Much better than the one painted by Lou Xiaoe.

Xu Damao provides the creativity, others fill in the content, co-sign, and share the copyright.

These days, the income here on Hong Kong Island is not much different from that in the mainland. For some hard work, the monthly income is 50 to 150, which seems to be higher than that in the cities. But don’t forget that life, old age, sickness and death are all under public control in the Four-Nine Cities.

On Hong Kong Island, no matter what you do, a rent and a protection fee are necessary.

Of course, those are the people at the bottom of society, while ordinary clerks can live a better life with 100 to a month. This is the main consumer group of newspapers.

Newspapers at this time were priced at 20 to 30 cents each, so the price was not high. But the color printing that Xu Damao wanted was very expensive. The cost was between 70 and 80 cents. If the whole book was printed in color, it would be more than one yuan.

Xu Damao had no choice but to listen to the advice. Except for the cover being in color, the rest could only be in black and white.

This thing made Xu Damao quite unhappy.

A monthly comic magazine cannot have just one story.

Xu Damao thought about it and originally wanted to bring Mr. Feng's "Old Master" over. But Xia M sent word that her image was not good.

Xu Damao understood immediately. Originally, he had planned to copy it himself. At least he wanted to pay tribute to Mr. Feng and leave a portion of the copyright royalties to him. But now, there is nothing he can do.

So it doesn’t mean that you will be free once you leave.

Xu Damao is close to this side, so he naturally has to accept his ideas.

If Xu Damao gets close to that side, he will be controlled by that side again.

Xu Damao had no choice but to think about it for several days, scratching his scalp, and finally remembered another book.

There are many suitable ones, but Xu Damao also has to be careful. After all, he is cooperating with a semi-official company. If he encounters a leader who is careless and just takes it and uses it, Xu Damao's losses will not be that big.

Besides, because of the semi-official cooperation, Xu Damao did not have such a big say in many things before the results were released.

There are cool stories in life, but naturally there are also difficulties behind the cool stories!
