Hong Kong Comic Master

"Okay, today's department meeting is over. I hope everyone will cheer up and work hard for the company's great development in the second half of the year! Dismissed!"

The entire meeting went through performance presentations, department reports, and the final speeches by Li Wanshui and Li Chongjun. Finally, with Li Wanshui's announcement, it finally came to an end.

During the whole process, compared to the others sitting upright, Li Wannian kept writing and drawing on his notebook, and it seemed that he didn't listen seriously at all.

However, after the heads of various departments and subsidiaries heard the meeting was adjourned and left the meeting room one by one, Li Wannian did not leave.

Not only did he not leave, but the other three members of the Li family also did not leave.

"I'm leaving first, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, and Mr. Li!" Zhong Chuhong said to several Mr. Li before leaving.

"Go!"

Until the last Zhong Chuhong had left, there were only four of them in the huge conference room.

"Brother, why did you ask me, an outsider, to attend your company's meeting?"

Like Li Wannian, the bored Li Wanshan also felt uncomfortable sitting here, but he had a good eye and asked his doubts after everyone else left.

"I've asked you to come here because of something! The next goal of the magazine is still to conquer the overseas market. I need your cooperation on expanding channels and cracking down on piracy!"

In fact, as early as the second half of 1976, the comics of the two-dimensional magazine represented by "Death" had already rushed out of Hong Kong Island and landed in Southeast Asia, and were widely circulated among the Chinese community.

For the Chinese in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong Island is a weather vane. Generally, what is popular in Hong Kong Island will also be popular here, such as movies, music, TV series, etc., but this time it has become comics.

However, the embarrassing thing is that the biggest driving force is piracy!

In this era, the only country in Asia that has done relatively well in copyright is Japan. In other places, even including Hong Kong Island, piracy is everywhere and it is difficult to completely curb it!

Therefore, Li Wannian's works began to become popular in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, but magazines and companies could not make much money.

Li Wanshui and Li Wannian also realized the value of Southeast Asia at the first time, but they suffered from the complicated power of local pirates. Even if the two worked hard for a year, they still had little effect.

So, they handed the matter over to Li Wanshan, who achieved remarkable results. In just half a year, they opened up sales channels in several countries and made significant progress!

Sure enough, Li Wanshan still has a special talent in this regard!

"I thought it was nothing, but that's it! Don't worry, I just visited the port last week and have already negotiated with Siam! I've also arranged with a Malaysian boss to go to Magang next week. I'll try to take him down at the gambling table!"

Li Wanshan patted his chest loudly.

"You have your way of doing things and your rhythm. I won't interfere. But there is one thing. Before September, I want you to kill 60% of the piracy in Southeast Asia!"

"No problem!" Li Wanshan frowned, thought about it for a while, and finally agreed.

"Nian, how is Zhizhong going?"

"He called me. Ten episodes of "Pokemon" have been completed, and two episodes of "Master Chef" have been made. I will go there to check and accept it this afternoon!"

"That's good. In the second half of the year, animation will be our top priority!"

That's right, the Li family now has an animation company!

However, this company does not belong to DreamWorks, but to Li Wannian personally.

At the beginning of last year, Wanwan established an animation production company called Far East Cartoon. The company had only 11 people and looked like a makeshift team.

However, after Li Wannian learned the news through Zheng Wen, he immediately invested his own money to acquire the animation production company.

Because Li Wannian was not interested in the company at all, but Cai Zhizhong!

Cai Zhizhong, born in 1948, became a professional cartoonist at the age of 15. At the age of 23, he joined Guangqi Society as an art designer and taught himself cartoon drawing technology. At the age of 29, he established Far East Cartoon Company.

At this time, he was still unknown. In the original time and space, he later filmed cartoon movies such as "Colorful Cartoon Old Master Q" and "Ulongyuan" in the 1980s, which shocked the whole Wanwan. At the same time, he also created classic comics such as "Zhuangzi Says" and "Laozi Says".

Li Wannian could not devote all his energy to animation production, but he himself had a lot of experience in later animation creation, so he could guide this animation company.

Of course, the premise is that he must have someone who can command the overall situation and control the entire company for him.

As the saying goes, it is easy to get thousands of troops, but it is difficult to get a general. Cai Zhizhong is undoubtedly Li Wannian's general!

"Very good, the follow-up work is ready, so I can give it a try!"

Li Wanshui rubbed his hands and seemed eager to try.

"A Shui, are we too aggressive? Draw almost all of the company's cash flow and also carry out equity pledge loans. This is simply a snake swallowing an elephant!"

Li Chongjun still expressed doubts about Li Wanshui's aggressive strategy at this time.

In the past two years, although Li Chongjun has studied business management knowledge hard, he is old after all, and his overall thinking tends to be conservative.

It is good to be mature and prudent, but in the period of rapid development of the company, the hard work of young people is obviously more important!

"Don't worry, Dad. Nianzi and I have been planning this for a long time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a TV station!"

"That's right, Dad, the market in Hong Kong Island is too small. Now the growth potential of our comics has reached a bottleneck. We are about to hit the ceiling. Next, we must develop new types of works and use new platforms to drive them. It will allow the company to develop better! What's more, there are only a few TV stations in Hong Kong. If they miss this opportunity, they may never have such a good opportunity again in this life!"

Not only Li Wanshui, but also Li Wannian also joined in persuading Li Chongjun.

In fact, it's not that Li Chongjun disagrees. After all, the acquisition plan has already been launched, and it's too late to stop now.

The reason why Li Chongjun said this is more importantly, he wanted to act as a brake, hoping to occasionally brake the two brothers who were racing all the way to prevent them from having accidents on the road!

"Okay, just go ahead and do it. If something unexpected happens, no matter what, we have to start over again! Anyway, there are still Nian Zai's comics!"

Seeing the two brothers with a firm attitude, Li Chongjun also let go of his last concern.

Seeing that the two parties had successfully communicated, Li Wannian suddenly thought of something and said:

"By the way, there is one more thing. I almost forgot to tell you. Let me inform you in advance that in the next 20 chapters of "Death", I will finish the first half of it!"

"What?"

The three of them said in unison.

At this time, not to mention Li Chongjun and Li Wanshui, even Li Wanshan who was sitting not far away from them and wandering around Taixu looked at Li Wannian in surprise after hearing Li Wannian's words.
