Hong Kong Comic Master

"How is the company lately?"

After dinner, several grown men sat together. There was a program on the TV, but they didn't pay attention to it, but talked about work. ♦♗ ♦♦

"It's not bad. Last year, our product sales increased by 130%. Our products not only entered Europe and the United States, but also entered the mainland. However, there are currently many counterfeit products in the mainland, and our sales are very poor!"

Speaking of this, Chen Weixian sighed inexplicably.

Of course, Chen Weixian attaches great importance to a large market with one billion people. He finally entered this market, but sales were very poor.

If it was my own problem, there would be ways to correct it, but when faced with the piracy problem, even if I wanted to, there was no room for me to do so!

"Don't worry, even if there are no piracy, your toys won't sell much!"

After listening to Chen Weixian's words, Li Wannian comforted him.

It's just that this kind of comfort doesn't seem to have any effect.

"Uh...Wannian, what you said makes me feel even more uncomfortable!"

"Hahaha, you don't understand what Wannian means!" Li Wanshui said with a smile: "What he means is, how many mainlanders do you think can afford the toys from your company?"

"this……"

Chen Weixian immediately understood. With the current income level of mainlanders, how could they afford genuine toys worth tens or hundreds of yuan?

"Then just let the pirated toys make money wantonly?"

"Let them earn first, it doesn't matter. We are investing in the future. When the income level of mainland people slowly increases, that's when we will make money!"

"When will it be? Twenty years? Thirty years? Or fifty years?"

"It won't take that long. In ten years, the turnover of mainland China will be enough to surpass that of Hong Kong Island. After twenty years, it may be ten times that of Hong Kong Island. After thirty years, it is estimated to be more than a hundred times!"

Li Wannian recalled the numbers that later generations often created during Double Eleven, and he was full of confidence in this.

However, regarding Li Wannian's speculation, not only Chen Weixian, but also Li Wannian's other two brothers felt that Li Wannian was too optimistic.

Given the current economic situation in mainland China, I am afraid that even in another fifty years, they will not be able to reach the current living standards of Hong Kong Islanders!

This is not discrimination, but consensus!

It has to be said that it is difficult for Hong Kong Islanders and even mainlanders themselves to imagine the economic miracles created by later generations of the mainland!

For mainlanders, it would be fantastic to think that the economy could surpass Neon in 2010!

"Okay, let's not talk about mainland China! Are there any other problems with the company now? The company can't all have good news, right?"

Li Wanshui smiled and changed the topic.

"The company's current flagship products include: cards, four-wheel drive vehicles and figures. However, the growth of these three products is currently weak. The average sales growth rate of the three products last year was only 8%. The company needs new products. Leading products to drive company profit growth!”

Because under Chen Weixian's leadership, the sales of four-wheel drive vehicles created myths, Chen Jiarong transferred Chen Weixian back to the company's headquarters and currently serves as the deputy general manager of Xingrong Toys Company. ]|I{•------» «------•}I|[

I have to say that Chen Weixian was promoted too quickly!

Originally, there was some gossip within Xingrong Company about such an appointment, but after learning that Chen Weixian was the crown prince of the company, all the gossip disappeared in an instant.

It is natural for a son to inherit his father's legacy, not to mention that this prince seems to be very reliable. In his first year of work, he created a popular toy such as a four-wheel drive vehicle.

"What do you think?"

Li Wannian did not speak directly about the solution, but asked Chen Weixian.

Since Chen Weixian can raise this issue, he must have thought of a solution in advance.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Wannian finished speaking, he saw Chen Weixian take out something in the shape and size of a mooncake from his pocket.

"This is called a yo-yo. It is made up of a thin rope tied to a heavy object. The way to play is to put one end of the rope on your hand, throw it out, do various actions, and then take it back!"

Chen Weixian gave a simple demonstration with the yo-yo in his hand. Although he didn't make any particularly cool moves, the complexity of the moves still made everyone feel awesome.

"How do you do all this?"

Li Wanshan was most interested in this and couldn't wait to try it out.

Then Chen Weixian didn't hide it, handed the yo-yo to Li Wanshan, and watched Li Wanshan play with it alone.

Unfortunately, the clumsy Li Wanshan couldn't play with it at all, and lost patience after playing with it for a few times.

"What? It feels so difficult to play! It's also quite boring!"

Li Wanshan curled his lips and handed the yo-yo to Li Wannian who was standing aside.

When Chen Weixian saw that Li Wanshan couldn't play, he quickly explained to the side: "Hey, this is not easy to get started. It is quite difficult. It took me a long time to practice..."

However, before he finished speaking, he saw Li Wannian actually playing with his fingers flying, and he played better than Chen Weixian!

"Have you... played?"

Chen Weixian said a little embarrassed.

"No! It's the first time in my life to play!"

Li Wannian couldn't explain that he had played it in his previous life, so he could only say this.

The key point is that he didn't lie, it was indeed the first time in his life to play!

"You...are really amazing!"

Chen Weixian said helplessly.

After playing for a while, Li Wannian began to carefully observe the yo-yo in his hand.

It must be said that the yo-yo of this era looks much simpler than the later ones, unlike the ones in later generations that can glow.

But Li Wannian did not expect that the yo-yo was so early. He had always thought that this toy would not be available until the 21st century!

"How long has this yo-yo been out?"

"It has a long history. I checked it out. It is said to have originated in ancient Greece. In the early 18th century, yo-yo was widely popular in the UK under the name of "Prince's Treasure" and in France under the name of "Norman Yo-yo". It was very popular in the United States after World War II. In 1985, it was even taken to space by NASA!"

"Besides, the Europeans really have something, and they put it on the head of ancient Greece!"

Li Wannian said disdainfully about the history of yo-yos told by Chen Weixian.

"It's true. It is said that there is a ceramic jar in the National Museum in Athens, Greece, with a yo-yo pattern on it!"

Even though Chen Weixian said so, Li Wannian still didn't believe it. After all, everyone knows about the cultural relics of the Europeans.

"Are there many people playing with this now?"

"No, more Europeans play it, and there are almost no people in Asia!"

"How do you plan to promote this yo-yo?"

"Naturally, just like the four-wheel drive car, draw comics! Although the effect of directly making animations will be better, the cost of making animations is too high. It is more appropriate to use comics to test the market reaction first!"
