Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

"Autobots! Transform! Let's go!"

It was so arrogant that Xu Damao moved it directly.

This stuff started out as a Hasbro toy in the 1980s, and of course I copied it from them when I was little.

But now that Xu Damao has moved it into the magazine first, it naturally belongs to him.

This thing, in fact, Xu Damao also went for the toy.

After all, comics must be cultivated by the market before they can expand into surrounding markets.

And this one can be both a toy and a comic.

This one is not like Fatty Blue. It requires a certain degree of science. At least when the toys are made in the future, they can be consistent with the comics!

This is the soft board for mainland comics, and at this time, the benefits of having a backer come out.

Directly from various car magazines, the pictures and real cars were drawn by cartoonists one by one, and then combined into the cartoons in proportion. This also delayed some time.

By the time the first issue was released, another year had passed.

As for the name of the monthly magazine, Xu Damao did not make any fuss and directly named it after the Hong Kong Children’s Comics Monthly.

The back of the cover uses separate color pictures, while the inside is naturally mainly black and white, with only some exciting scenes using colorful inserts.

The first issue of this thing was busy, and five thousand copies were printed first. When setting the price, Xu Damao thought of his husband's elegant deeds of pricing the Xinhua Dictionary back then, and immediately settled on 70 cents.

Well, the total cost is about 40 cents, excluding Xu Damao's creative costs and channel development costs.

In other words, this monthly magazine was losing money in exchange for criticism.

Xu Damao doesn’t know whether he can adapt to the Hong Kong Island market.

He stood at the newsstand downstairs of his house and took a look. Most of the people coming and going were adults, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

Lou Xiao'e happened to go home. Seeing Xu Damao's depressed look, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother Damao, what are you doing here?"

Xu Damao pointed to the newsstand with his hand tremblingly and said, "I've been reading here for two hours and not a single copy has been sold."

Lou Xiao'e glanced in the direction Xu Damao pointed, and then looked at Xu Damao's ashen expression.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but asked strangely: "It's not a holiday today. The children are out of school. If you want to check the sales, shouldn't you go to the school to check?"

Xu Damao's eyes kept blinking when he heard this, um, he forgot.

At the entrance of Xu Shengli School, except for a few aristocratic private schools at this time, the schools in Hong Kong Island were similar to those in the mainland.

The difference is that adults need to be picked up and dropped off, otherwise there will be those kind of street boys who stop the children and ask for benefits. Usually this matter is done by Mr. and Mrs. Xu.

Xu Damao patted his head and said to Lou Xiao'e: "I will pick up my son today."

After that, he ran away directly.

"Why are you in a hurry? It's still early for school to end..." Before Lou Xiao'e could finish her words, Xu Damao had already disappeared.

Xu Damao didn't know why he was panicking. Maybe it was because this world was not one he was familiar with.

Maybe it was from him, his wife, and his children that he suddenly discovered the authenticity of life.

That's why I have so much anxiety because I worry about gains and losses.

As soon as Xu Damao ran away, a black car stopped in front of Lou Xiao'e. The car window slowly rolled down, and a delicate face came into Lou Xiao'e's eyes. It was still Xia M, and only she could be so unhurried.

Xia M said: "Xiao'e, where is your husband?"

Lou Xiao'e was feeling bad. She said that her man wore big pants and flip-flops and ran directly to the school in order to observe sales?

This is not enough to lose one's status.

Lou Xiao'e gently stroked the ends of her hair and smiled at Xia M: "Sister Xia, my Damao went outside to look for inspiration."

Hearing this, Xia M felt normal.

Because this comic so far has been run according to Xu Damao's creativity.

Xia M chuckled and said softly: "Today, I received a call from a big shot in the company. The other person said that he wanted to cooperate with our company and the car guy.

I was just about to discuss it with your Damao. "

This is the impact!

It used to be that every time Ms. Xia M met Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao, she would always call her "Ms. Sir."

But after being in contact with the Xu family for a long time, they now have a name for each other.

This was influenced by Lou Xiao'e, a big girl from the north.

Xia M likes Lou Xiao'e because she is simple and basically all her thoughts are reflected on her face.

Xia M didn't like Xu Damao too much. She always felt that the man was sneaky. When she didn't look at him, she always felt that Xu Damao was peeking at her.

But if his eyes were fixed on Xu Damao, he saw that man's serious look.

So what Xia M saw now was the unnatural look on Lou Xiao'e's face.

Xia M asked: "Where can I find your husband?"

"My son's school is ** Elementary School." Lou Xiao'e replied casually.

Xia M chuckled lightly and said, "Then I'll go find him first."

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the four major families in Hong Kong Island at this time. Basically, every industry has a foothold.

One of them is the Ho Tung family, which was famous in Hong Kong Island and Pai City in later generations.

There are also the Zhou Yongtai family, the Lee Hysan family, and the Li Peicai family.

Well, there is no familiar name, but these four are indeed the leaders of the Chinese people in Hong Kong Island today.

Of course, it is also said that the fourth family is Gao Kening, the first generation of gambling kings in the city.

Basically, these four families are mainly entities, such as the film and television industry and the cultural industry. No one dares to touch this place on Hong Kong Island.

Why?

Everyone knows that these days, those who are involved in the cultural industry are those who want to control the thoughts of ordinary people.

So he looks like a weak scholar, but behind him is a steel bullet.

As for film and television, as mentioned before, it is basically monopolized by Shaw Brothers.

There are obviously so many industries where you can make money just by doing it, so naturally you won't think about doing this.

Therefore, many things that may seem ridiculous to later generations are actually the truth these days.

That is to say, those big guys who are floating in the sky in later generations, but in this day and age, big guys despise troublesome or dirty industries.

This is the case with comics nowadays. If you publish tens of thousands of comics a month this year, it is considered a bestseller. How much money can you make after deducting the cost of tens of thousands of comics?

There are not many, so no one pays attention to them.

When Xia M arrived at the gate of Xu Shengli's school by car, Xia M saw the man standing cowering on the street corner.

He couldn't help but exclaimed softly: "Stop the car!"

The driver stopped the car dozens of meters behind Xu Damao. Xia M was stunned in the car. She didn't know why she wanted to do such a childish thing.

Xia M got out of the car and walked quietly behind Xu Damao.

I only heard Xu Damao muttering: "Eight, eight bought with money in half an hour, hey, it's popular!"

Xia M frowned, all her good impressions of Xu Damao were shattered.
