Chapter 353: Ways to Make Money

"He's crazy!"

"It's just a mess, what's going on in his head!"

On the street, the heads of several chain stores left Phoenix Company angrily. Many of them watched the excitement with a lofty mind. Unexpectedly, Phoenix Company ruthlessly said to them, "Welcome to leave" and the cartoonist named He Xi didn't take them seriously.

"I'm so angry!"

"Just a mere cartoonist, has He Xi's IQ been eaten by dogs? Without our participation, this island still wants to develop? What a joke!"

"I want to apply to the headquarters to transfer here. The cartoonist's attitude is too bad and there is no possibility of cooperation."

"So too, let them play this ghost place alone!"

Many stores had the idea of ​​leaving. Zhang De of Universal Cinema looked a little better when he heard these people's conversation. Although his goal was achieved this time, he was really angry with Meng Huo's words.

"After going back, you must spread this matter so that everyone will leave here. I'll see how Phoenix Company plays!"

Zhang De looked back at the building of Phoenix Company and thought to himself that he deserved it. As soon as the news spread today, merchants on the entire Comic Island would know about Phoenix Company's attitude, and then trigger a wave of departure. Without such well-known chain stores as Comic Island, even the final attraction disappeared. Not to mention the development of the island, Phoenix Company will have a problem whether it can not lose money.

And in the building, after sending away the heads of several chain stores, Alice returned to Meng Huo's office.

"Menghuo, how can you say that they are welcome to leave?" She said with a worried look: "It's great now. Those who were still watching must leave. What if they all leave?"

"There are few businesses coming this time. It will not affect everyone." Meng Huo disagreed: "And the companies that will come to Manhua Island to buy real estate are big companies. Since they have set up branches here, they will not be able to leave easily without a year or two of observation time."

These merchants on Manga Island are all well-known companies in China. Since these companies have carried out local business, it is unlikely that they will leave only after a few months of profit. The reason why Meng Huo said so excessively is that it is impossible for all the chain stores on Manga Island to leave. No matter how cruel he said, he would not leave more than two-thirds of the stores in the end.

"Meng Huo...you didn't mean to let them leave on purpose, did you?"

Alice seemed to hear what Meng Huo meant.

"Well, if you can't cooperate with each other, of course it's better to drive away some people." Meng Huo replied with a smile: "Turn away some people and take over their facilities. If the comic island develops smoothly, we can have an absolute advantage in both culture and business, and the remaining merchants will no longer be able to resist us."

This is somewhat incorrect from Meng Huo's initial plan. When he first imagined Comic Island, he imagined that Phoenix Company dominated the source of comic products, and then other merchants cooperated to create an island where everyone could benefit. In this idea, Phoenix Company did not directly participate in commercial activities. They are the guides and providers of comic industry products, but they will not directly target consumers.

Meng Huo felt that this was a win-win model. Phoenix Company could maintain its core business and would not have too much financial pressure. But he did not expect that these merchants on Manga Island would not cooperate at all. According to the current situation, even if the crowds on Manga Island came, other merchants would not allow Manga to enter their corporate culture. In the end, Manga Island would become an ordinary commercial island.

That was not what he wanted to see. What Meng Huo wanted was a place full of AG culture. If there was no cooperation from the company, he could only control this culture. This time he drove away a group of people. If he took over their things, and the fans who came to start a business, 70% or 80% of the area of ​​Manga Island was under the jurisdiction of Phoenix Company.

Phoenix Company can expand commercially into comics according to its own ideas, and the remaining twenty or thirty percent of the people will not be able to resist this wave and will eventually compromise and seek cooperation with them.

But there is a big problem here...

"Where do we get so much money and people!!"

Alice saw through Meng Huo's thoughts and said bitterly. Phoenix Company mainly faces a problem of money. As long as there is money, it is not difficult to find people in the commercial street, but they are still in a period of hard-working transformation. The recruitment of three places and the re-expanding of new businesses are spending money in all aspects. Now they have to acquire an animation company and prepare for animation, and the money can no longer be squeezed out.

In this state, how can they rent the territory of Manga Island and how can they maintain their business status?

"Just make money if you don't have money," Meng Huo said: "I will owe the rent for one year first. If I can't ow, then go to loans and financing."

Manga Island is the property of the Meng family. Meng Huo feels that he should be able to apply for a year to postpone the delivery of rent. Originally, these troubles were all caused by them, so they should bear some responsibility! If they refused to default, Meng Huo could find other ways to pay, but in this way, his relationship with the Meng family became cold.

"It's not a problem that the rent is not expensive, but we need a lot of money to control so many stores!" Alice said with her head covering her head: "This is a lot of money. Now the stores on Comic Island are obviously in losses. If we take it down, we will lose more than 100,000 yuan every month."

Comic Island enjoys tax incentives, but even so, it is not easy to maintain so many stores. More than 100,000 is roughly an estimate, and it is difficult for Alice to know the specific number. But one thing she knows very well is that as long as the crowds on Comic Island do not increase, the Phoenix Company here will be like carrying a black hole to absorb wealth.

"How do we get the money?"

She said distressedly.

"Just make money if you don't have money, just let go of your hands and feet." Meng Huo's eyes flashed, and he said, "As long as you think more about your brain, games, movies, animations, comics, and the advantages of comic island itself... think about all the possibilities, it should not be difficult to make this money in a short period of time."

Alice was stunned: "Meng Huo, do you... want to release other works?"

She thought that if Meng Huo launched other works in a short time, there would be a possibility that a lot of money would be made. However, in this case, the theme of the works would be limited. The comics are fast but the money is long. The fastest ones to get money should be games and animated movies, but both of them require time to produce...

"Wait...Isn't there "Pokemon"?"

Alice suddenly remembered this game. The game was rebuilt, but "Clannad" has been on sale for two months. During this period, the game production department began to rebuild "Pokemon". Meng Huo was very concerned about this rebuild. No matter where, it would always be checked every few days. The game's reconstruction was completely carried out step by step according to his guidance. She didn't know how far it has progressed.

Is "Pokemon" coming out?

"Speaking of this, it's not that difficult to rebuild..."

The more Alice thought about it, the more likely it was. The monster setting in Pokemon was completed a long time ago. Re-creation does not mean that every detail needs to be remade. Many of the previous achievements can be used directly in the new version, and even if they are released now, it doesn’t seem strange.

If so...

"Sister Xi, please help me call Jose and Zhou Qian!"

While Alice was thinking, Meng Huo called the secretary and called Jose and Zhou Qian. Alice became more convinced after hearing this. Meng Huo called Jose, which was indeed the case with "Pokemon"!

However, unexpectedly, after Jose and Zhou Qian arrived, Meng Huo gave them other tasks.

"Jose, we are about to take over some stores. There is not enough staff. You will be responsible for this in advance... Zhou Qian, in the future, you will be responsible for the company's comic product research and development..."

Meng Huo talked to the two of them for half an hour. What she said made Alice stunned. At first, she was a little confused, but later she found that what Meng Huo was talking about was not just a new work. He actually wanted to hold a large-scale reader gathering directly on Comic Island to make money. The details of this event were beyond her imagination and the other two women.

Meng Huo wanted to carry out a large-scale transformation of Comic Island, integrating many things that Alice and others had never heard of before, and then there were many important activities - such as announcing the animation of "Detective Conan" on the spot. The game "Pokemon" seems to have not been completed yet, but Meng Huo said that it is not ruled out that the trial version is provided in the event...

There are also all kinds of interesting things, and there is no possibility of more new works.

Meng Huo put forward a lot of ideas about this event, but he is very conservative about the new work. Except for the one "Detective Conan", it is certain to be animated, other new works are uncertain. Alice figured out his plan and wanted to use the activities of Comic Island to increase the popularity and abortion of the island, and make money to relieve financial pressure.

This plan completely subverted Alice's inherent view. She always felt that Manga Island had to be rich before it could develop slowly, but Meng Huo thought in the opposite direction. He planned to kill two birds with one stone, using a party to attract people, so as to quickly expose the popularity and reputation of Manga Island.

"Can this succeed?"

Alice was a little worried, but when she thought of the lively He Xi celebration in Ninghai, she felt that Meng Huo's appeal might have a chance to succeed. And using He Xi's name to attract the first group of people, if she could grasp the psychology of these people, Manga Island could move forward on the right track.

Moreover, Meng Huo's idea is great. The event he proposed was to attract crowds and make money, but there are many details of interaction with readers. The new work is the core element of this plan. However, if it is found that the expected number of tourists meets the standard during the planning stage of the event, Meng Huo will not propose a new work. If the number of people is not enough, he will use more new work activities to attract readers. (To be continued...)
