Rebirth: From catering group to world’s richest man

After talking about work with Ouyang Qianyi, the two of them walked out of the study.

“Qianyi, by the way, I have one more thing to do. Have you been to Liang Zhengnan’s hotel in Lisboa when it opened? Lin Shen asked

“Yes, Liang Zhengnan invited me to attend the opening ceremony.”Ouyang Qianyi said,”I have to say, the money you gave me boss is enough, and Liang Zhengnan and the others are doing a good job. If the Jade Palace Hotel is rated, I estimate it is enough to be rated as a six-star hotel.”

“oh?”Lin Shen was slightly surprised,

“Boss, you just happen to come to Xiangjiang. If you have time, you can take a boat there to have a look. The journey is very close, only a few hours away.”Ouyang Qianyi said

“You should go and have a look. Lin Shen said.

The two of them walked downstairs. There was already a familiar person waiting in the living room with his hands hanging down. This person was Wu Dayou, the general manager of Jisi Publishing Company.

Seeing Lin Shen coming downstairs, Wu Dayou immediately Come together

“BOSS,When I heard you were coming, I rushed over as soon as possible.”Wu Dayou said respectfully

“You are really positive.”Lin Shen said.

Wu Dayou said:”It’s impossible not to be active. Boss, you haven’t taken care of us for a long time.”

“Why do you say I don’t care about you? Don’t I have people contact you every year to tell you about your work? Lin Shen said

“Yes, so I came to report to BOSS today.”Wu Dayou said

“Then you sit down first.”Lin Shen asked Wu Dayou to sit down on the sofa in the living room.

Because the business of Jisi Publishing Company does not involve confidentiality, there is no need to go upstairs to the study room. We can talk in the living room.

Ouyang Qianyi did not leave immediately, but It’s to stay with Lin Shen

“Let’s go back after dinner tonight. Lin Shen said

“no no.”Wu Dayou quickly waved his hand and refused.

“It’s okay, it’s still lively when there are many people. Lin Shen said

“well.”Wu Dayou then responded flattered.

“Tell me, don’t you want to report to me? Lin Shen said lightly.

Wu Dayou then began to say:”BOSS, Jisi Publishing Company has been focusing on creating its own IP products in accordance with your requirements in the past two years, especially the”Pokémon” series. In our Thanks to its creation, its popularity is booming. It has become a popular culture in both the Mainland of Hong Kong and the treasure island. It also has a large number of fans in the Sakura Country, Stars and Stripes Country and several European countries.”

“Well, this didn’t surprise me. Lin Shen said

“Of course, building this IP has also made us a lot of money. Just the sales share of the series of plush toys produced by the toy factory every year is a huge sum of money.”Wu Dayou said.

They cooperate with large toy manufacturers to produce the Pokémon series of plush toys, and sign sales share contracts. The more toys sold, the more Jisi Publishing Company makes.

“In addition to plush toys, we also have other peripherals and co-branded products with some clothing brands and stationery brands. I even think that we can develop a theatrical version of”Pokémon” independently, just like the”Wind and Cloud” IP.”Wu Dayou talked eloquently and was obviously very proud.

“I think it’s absolutely fine. Making animated films is not much different from cartoons, it’s just that the production is more sophisticated.” Lin Shen said.

Over the years, several cartoons in the”Pokémon” series have been released and are very popular. Lin Shen also thinks that it can be made into a theatrical version. Anyway, it is already possible for a popular animation to be made into a theater version in the future. Routine operations are not uncommon.

Wu Dayou was greatly encouraged by Lin Shen’s approval and kept saying yes.

“what about others? Lin Shen asked,”The Pokémon IP is successful, but it cannot be limited to this IP product. I also explain the other ones every year, right?””

“have.”Wu Dayou said quickly,”In addition to the IP of Pokémon, we have also developed several other IPs in recent years. One of them is”Digimon” which was born out of electronic pets. According to the manuscript you gave me, the boss, this We have published six volumes of the comic, and the cartoon adapted from the comic has produced more than 50 episodes, which is also very popular. Nowadays, cartoons are broadcast in the Mainland, Sakura Country and Stars and Stripes Country.”

Lin Shen nodded.”Digimon” is broadcast in the mainland, and Lin Shen also knows about it.

The IP of Digimon is not as good as Pokémon as a whole, but it is pretty good, so Lin Shen also got it.

“By the way,” Lin Shen suddenly remembered something,”Have you had any contact with the Star-Spangled Kingdom Marvel Company that I asked you to pay attention to before?”

Suddenly Lin Shen interrupted his train of thought.

Wu Dayou was still a little confused, but he quickly came to his senses and said:”Ah, this is something you, the boss, have emphatically explained.

Don’t worry, I will handle it properly.

of.

Marvel had a very difficult time in the past few years and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

It did sell a large number of its well-known IPs, and these IPs were eventually purchased by us.

These include”Spider-Man”,”X-Men”,”Deadpool”,”Venom”, etc.

To buy these IPs, I also borrowed money from Ms.

Ouyang……”

Wu Dayou said that when he took out a loan to buy the copyright, he felt a little aggrieved.

With so many IPs, added together, it’s quite expensive.

“BOSS, what I really want to ask is, why do you want me to buy this kind of American comic IP? It seems that there is no domestic market for American comic IP.

And the most important thing is that Marvel sells us the copyrights of these IPs.

Not only is the price high, but the requirements are also very demanding.

For example, for the IP”Spider-Man”, Marvel extorted us US$8 million!

They also signed a supplementary clause with us, requiring us to release a movie in the”Spider-Man” series every five years, otherwise the copyright will automatically return to Marvel.

You asked whether it was weird or not.

“Wu Dayou couldn’t help complaining and said���

Such a request is indeed a bit strange, but Lin Shen is still very satisfied because he clearly knows what these IPs mean.

The future is a cornucopia. (Thank you for the VIP points from the sky, thank you 159×××4453 VIP points for tipping)
