Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

The vehicles that Li Wei travels in Mingzhu City are all provided by the Pearl Four Seasons Hotel. Originally, they thought that Li Wei was not fond of luxury cars like Bentley and Rolls Royce, or super sports cars like Ferrari and McLaren. Wei chose a commercial SUV owned by Mercedes-Benz.This kind of car pursues safety and comfort, and in any case, it is not like the car that rich and upstarts like Li Wei would choose.But since it was the guest's choice, the VIP managers in the VIP department just slandered a few words and immediately helped to book the car and driver.

In fact, for the car booking service of the hotel, the car is secondary. After all, considering the luxury of the hotel, it is a big deal to go directly to the 4S shop to buy one; but the driver is very difficult to find. All places in the local area, and it is better to keep your mouth shut and do things well.Of course, this is not difficult for Four Seasons Hotel.After Li Wei reported the name of a teahouse, the driver drove away without making a sound.Li Wei is very satisfied with this, a talkative driver is not suitable to be a private driver.

After sending Li Wei to the tea room, Li Wei told the driver to pick him up in about two and a half hours, and then Li Wei went straight into the tea room.Li Wei had notified the room number and the name of the owner to the waiter, so the waiter kindly sent Li Wei to the designated room.This is the advantage of the private tea room, you don't know the room number and the name of the person who made the reservation, there is no way for you to ask the waiter to send you there.And if there is no greeting from the people in the room, the waiter will not go in to serve.

Pushing open the door, Li Wei saw two men and a woman sipping tea carefully, but the corners of their brows betrayed their nervousness. "Presumably the three are the three persons in charge of Knight Comics, Dongfang Comics, and Spring Spring Society? My name is Li Wei, the chairman and president of Qilin Group. When the three of them come out, I should tell them here. Ladies and gentlemen, our Kylin Group intends to establish the Kylin Publishing Group within this year, which will have a subsidiary called "Kylin Club". Kylin Club will be the company responsible for the publication, distribution and derivative development of animation works of our Kylin Group. And I The purpose of inviting the three to come is very simple, that is to acquire the animation company in the hands of the three."

Seeing what someone wanted to say, Li Wei shook his hand and said, "Don't worry about the details, what I want to ask is, do you still have the enthusiasm to continue making animation? We all know that animation hardly makes money. If you don't Passion and love, I don't think anyone can make it this far. So what I want to know is, do you still have the passion and love to continue doing it?"

Li Wei's question made all three of them ponder. Except for Dongfang Comics, which became a big company through mergers and acquisitions, Knight Comics and Spring Spring Club are actually small businesses that are slowly expanding. It can be said that the founder is the operator.

The first to speak was Su Yao from Spring Spring Club. She said with a wry smile: "Everyone who can sit here has experienced the golden age of Guoman, and also survived the cold winter of Guoman. Now everyone waits calmly. To be honest, if I didn’t have to take care of the editors and writers of Bailai, I wouldn’t want to do it. The comic industry cannot be sustained by love and enthusiasm. If there is no money, no matter how good it is The author can't get along either. Some people say that the scale of my Spring Club's comics is getting bigger and bigger. Do you think this is what I am willing to do? The logo of the Spring Club also says "pure love, beauty and happiness forever"! But I If you can’t sell your works, you can only play side-by-side! Mr. Li, I know that your Kirin Group has money, and it’s too much money to spend. I can say that I’m willing to sell my company to you. But I only have two requests. Reduce layoffs and try to preserve the characteristics of our Spring Spring Club."

Su Yao's words opened the way for everyone to complain. After more than an hour of complaints, Li Wei said: "I work in music and film and television works. If it is bigger, we are considered colleagues. After all, we are all engaged in cultural content. Yes, it is not profitable to make cultural content in this era. No matter how strict the country’s copyright protection is, the cost performance of cultural content itself is too low.

First, if we want excellent content, we must cultivate excellent creators, which includes high training costs and future remuneration, etc.; second, platform fees are becoming more and more transparent and cheaper , so that our entire publishing industry has to face the problem of reduced profits.Especially for animation works, our biggest potential users are young people, who are used to reading works on electronic products.Electronic platforms have almost no cost, and we have no way to play tricks in cost accounting, so we have to accept the fact that profits will decline.

Cultural content itself does not make money, but what about cultural derivatives?In the simplest terms, figures of anime characters?clothing?And possible future theme parks and more.The reason I am here to talk to you about my plan is because there is no way you can replicate my success.First, I not only need to increase the investment in cultural content, but also develop multiple aspects simultaneously to maximize the value of cultural products.For example, in the future, Kylin Society will not only have comic magazines, but also comic books and comic libraries; at the same time, we will also produce cartoons, theatrical versions, and OVA; even live-action movies, derivative product development, and theme parks are all planned.What I want to know is, are the three of you willing to join this huge plan?Let's create a better tomorrow for Guoman together? "

Li Wei is very clear about his own position. He is the president of the company who focuses on the general direction, but he is definitely not the CEO or COO who is responsible for the specific implementation. The positions of CEO and COO should be left to professionals. like I used to do.Therefore, Li Wei still admires Su Yao and the three of them. After all, it is not easy for the three of them to maintain the normal operation of the three animation companies now that the management talents of Guoman are dying.Li Wei commissioned a professional investigation company to investigate the operating conditions of these three companies, and the conclusions they reached were surprisingly consistent.Given the right titles and enough money, any of these three companies has a chance to become the standard-bearer company to rival Manga.It is precisely because of this that Li Wei desperately hopes to recruit them.

And these three people are not simple characters. After Li Wei's advice, they did find a new way out for Guoman, but what made them depressed was that Li Wei seemed to be the only one who could go on this road.Everyone knows that Li Wei may not be the richest tycoon in the country, but he is definitely the tycoon with the least money.Li Wei's financial situation is shockingly good. It is said that the customer management departments of the world's top banks all list Li Wei as their number one customer, and they all expect Li Wei to borrow money from the bank.But Li Wei is sitting on the cornucopia of Kylin Interactive Entertainment, with a very healthy cash flow and rarely needs to borrow from the outside world.

In addition to being rich, Li Wei also owns Kylin Entertainment. Kylin Broadcasting and Kylin TV under Kylin Entertainment are currently the third largest wireless TV network and the largest cable TV company in China. Kylin Society is a complete industrial chain.The three looked at each other with wry smiles, and soon decided to surrender to Li Wei.

"I am very happy to see three of you joining Kirin Club. Mr. Lu Yijun from Dongfang Comics, you will be the CEO of Kirin Club, but you will be responsible for the post-development of animation, not magazines, booklets and library books. Operation." Li Wei said, "Ms. Su Yao, you will be the art director of Kylin Club, but you will be in charge of the operation of the magazines, booklets and library books of girl comics, lady comics and Tanmei comics; and the remaining juvenile comics And youth comics are handed over to Mr. Jiang Lin, and you will also be the chief operating officer of the Kylin Club. By the way, this is the structure diagram of the future magazines of the Kylin Club.”

After reading Li Wei's structure diagram, everyone was amazed at the subtlety of Li Wei's conception.In addition to professional training institutions such as the Kylin Comics Training Course, the sources of cartoon authors for the future Kylin Society also include online comic sites such as the Kylin Comic Network.In addition to the four flagship periodicals, Kylin Society also has supplementary publications such as supplements and supplements for the five major categories of comics.To put it simply, the flagship publication of Shonen Manga is "Manga Shonen", if the author does not meet this standard or there is a problem with the later serialization, then it will be moved to a semi-monthly or monthly magazine such as "Manga Shonen Plus" or "Manga Shonen Extra" Serialized.At the same time, there are animation review magazines such as "Manga Fan", and comic serial magazines such as "Manga Times", which only focus on the quality of comics.

The three of them knew that as long as Li Wei's set of standards was implemented, there would be no other manga clubs in Guoman World.Now the three of them suddenly feel rejoicing, fortunately, they were found by Qilin Club. If they were other partners, then wouldn't they be cannon fodder to be dumped in the mall.Now that everyone has negotiated, the remaining details are legal and financial matters.

After Li Wei returned to the hotel, he happily hung up the phone to Zhou Xiao.

And after Zhou Xiao heard the good news from Li Wei, he also said: "There is also a lot of good news from Yushanfang. I originally thought that Xiabuxiabu and Fanmili were low-end restaurants with little profit. But they didn't." I thought that although the profit in the low-end market is not high, the flow of people is too large. Now the group is thinking whether to spin off these two brands and go public. We plan to establish a sub-brand in the North American and European markets within this year, Yushanfang It will enter the European and American markets with a high-end Chinese food brand, but we will also develop Chinese fast food, Japanese food, Korean food and Southeast Asian food at the same time. Do you have a good name to provide one or two? I have thought about several here, but found to be unrepresentative."

"If I think of it, do you have any rewards?" Li Wei fell on the bed.Although it is a five-star hotel, the feeling of this bed is still not as good as at home.Speaking of home, Li Wei just received an email from his property consultant.Li Wei was actually a little dissatisfied with the apartment he bought, so he wanted to buy a single-family villa.Li Wei's requirements are safety and privacy, followed by scenery.

"I think, the concept of Yushanfang is only understood by us in the East, and Westerners don't know what Yushanfang is." Li Wei replied while flipping through the consultant's email, "Actually, the simplest and rude way is to use the most Something representative of Asia, such as: Panda. What do you think of calling it Panda International Catering Management Group? Yushanfang is the controlling shareholder of Panda Catering, and then we will absorb some shareholders in North America and Europe to join. Then the supporting fast food service is called Panda Express not only has Panda Express stores, but also Panda Express. In the future, we can open panda teahouses, panda fruit shops and so on. As for Japanese food stores, you can call it Fuji Teppanyaki; Korean ginseng chicken restaurant; Southeast Asia, Siam taste or Saigon small shop or whatever.”
