Hong Kong Comic Master

"Breakthrough, breakthrough! This issue of "Dragon Ball" has exceeded 200,000 sales!"

Editor-in-Chief Yang's excited shout came from the other end of the phone, almost piercing Li Wannian's eardrum.

Due to the serialization of the latest episode of "Dragon Ball", the latest issue of "Second Dimension Youth Weekly" magazine has broken the 200,000 mark in one fell swoop, creating an unprecedented record!

What is this concept?

Last year, the population of Hong Kong Island finally exceeded 5 million. The sales of 200,000 means that one out of every 25 people in Hong Kong Island bought this issue of the comic magazine!

If this ratio is converted to 1.3 billion people, the sales will be a terrifying 50 million!

Therefore, when this news was announced, DreamWorks' stock price directly increased by 5%.

As DreamWorks has been listed for nearly a year, DreamWorks' stock price has stabilized at around 105. Compared with when it was first listed, DreamWorks' market value has quadrupled.

In this case, don't look at it as a 5% increase, it is nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars when converted!

Compared with the growing market value, the sales volume of this comic magazine is not even enough.

No wonder why those who play finance are so rich? It's really a huge profit!

"Okay, okay, I know, can you lower your voice?"

"Sorry, Mr. Li, I really can't control myself!"

Li Wannian rubbed his ears to protect his eardrums.

"You called me just to tell me about this?"

"Of course not, I called you mainly to communicate with you about the issue of the animation authorization of "Captain Tsubasa"!"

Because "Captain Tsubasa" is not only popular in Hong Kong Island, but also very popular in Japan, whether it is the magazine or Shenlong Animation and DreamWorks Animation, they are determined to get the adaptation rights of this comic.

Because they dare not harass Li Wannian, they can only keep looking for Uncle He, and Uncle He pushed Editor-in-Chief Yang out, causing Editor-in-Chief Yang to call Li Wannian.

"It's been serialized for less than a year now, don't worry!"

Li Wannian naturally knew their plan, but still did not give in.

"Uh... yes, I got it!"

Editor-in-chief Yang on the other end of the phone was obviously a little discouraged, but Li Wannian was unmoved. He had his own plans and would never allow others to disrupt his plans.

After hanging up the phone, Li Wannian said to Cai Zhizhong in front of him: "Let's go!"

It turned out that when Li Wannian called just now, Cai Zhizhong had been standing in front of him.

"Okay, Mr. Li, the car is ready outside!"

Li Wannian followed Cai Zhizhong out of the studio, and there were three or four cars parked on the street.

Cai Zhizhong stepped forward and opened the door of one of the cars, and Li Wannian got in the car directly.

"Are they not here yet?"

In the car, Li Wannian asked again.

"Not yet, Acan is watching over there. If they arrive early, Acan will receive them for us!"

After listening to Cai Zhizhong's arrangements, Li Wannian nodded, looking very satisfied, and then closed his eyes and rested, and stopped talking.

The reason why Li Wannian was so formal today was because he had to receive several special guests.

Coming to the Central Pier again, it was still busy, as if there was no off-season throughout the year.

The last time he came here, he was going to set off, but this time, he was going to welcome people!

The Central Pier, full name Central Ferry Pier, is a ferry pier from Central, Hong Kong Island to multiple outlying islands and both sides of Victoria Harbour.

"Boss!"

After getting off the bus, the group came to the waiting hall, and Li Wannian saw Acan waiting there with a few people.

When Acan saw Li Wannian, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Boss!"

"Have the people arrived?"

"They should have arrived, and they are passing through customs!"

Li Wannian didn't say much after hearing this, and just stood there waiting.

Acan wanted to say something when he saw Cai Zhizhong shaking his head gently, and Acan suddenly realized and stopped talking.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, several people finally passed through customs and walked out.

They were dressed simply, looked nervous, and looked at the surrounding environment blankly.

"Mr. Chang, Mr. You, hello! I am Li Wannian!"

Seeing these people, Li Wannian immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"Hello! Boss Li! I am really sorry to bother you."

The leader was a thin middle-aged man. When he saw Li Wannian's outstretched right hand, he quickly held it with both hands, keeping a low profile.

"What's the trouble? I am recruiting talents. It is a great thing for me that you can come!"

That's right, this time Li Wannian was not welcoming any leaders, but a group of outstanding animators from Momei, and they came to join Shenlong Animation.

The leader was Chang Guangxi, who had served as the art designer and animator of many classic animations, such as: "The Foolish and the Unhappy", "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King", "The Snow Child", etc.

You Xianrui on the side was a set designer, Han Yu was a modeling designer, etc...

Since Li Wannian made a request to Director Yuan at the end of last year, Director Yuan did try hard to do it, and he actually succeeded.

Not only did they introduce Li Wannian's "Chinese Little Chef God" animation and Phoenix TV's many TV series, but they also strengthened the cooperation between Momei and Shenlong Company.

And after many contacts, the people sent by Shenlong Company actually poached a lot of talents!

In fact, even after getting on the car, Chang Guangxi was still uneasy.

To be honest, after leaving his hometown and company and coming to the colorful world of Hong Kong Island, he always felt like a betrayer.

If possible, he really didn't want to leave. After all, he had been in the Magic City for half his life. He didn't know if he could adapt to the sudden change of environment.

However, the other party really gave too much, and he couldn't refuse it at all!

As the best animation designer in Magic City, his monthly salary was only more than 50 yuan, but Li Wannian's Shenlong Company offered him a "high salary" of 5,000 yuan a month!

What is the concept?

This means that he can earn a million yuan a year, so much money that he can't earn in his lifetime in the mainland.

It can't be spent, it can't be spent at all!

Others have roughly the same idea as Chang Guangxi. Who can refuse to make so much money at once?

And this is just the first batch. Li Wannian's appetite is very big, and Shenlong Animation is still expanding. Such talents are naturally the more the better for him.

"Everyone, I have booked a table at the restaurant. Let's go to eat first!"

Li Wannian proposed after shaking hands with the other party, and several people naturally thanked him repeatedly.

They will be working for others in the future, so they will naturally be as humble as possible.

Not long after, the bus arrived at the station. After getting off the bus, they saw an ancient building with exquisite decorations. Looking at the Chinese characters on the plaque above, they couldn't help but wonder, "Yangquan Restaurant?"
