Reborn Tycoon Rise

The auction of the Super Land King has already attracted the attention of the Hong Kong media, and the transaction of HK$5.3 billion poured gasoline into the fire.

The next day, almost all newspapers in Hong Kong made this news a headline, even some entertainment weeklies.

The high-priced transaction of Diwang even stimulated the stock market. When the entire real estate stocks rose sharply, it literally pulled up the entire Hang Seng Index.

In addition to the land king being acquired by Real Estate, Xu Zhi's first appearance at a real estate auction in recent years has aroused countless speculations. Interested people even trumpeted that Evergrande and Hutchison Whampoa are about to enter the real estate market on a large scale.

Unfortunately, as the person involved, Xu Zhi did not accept interviews from any media because he had previously boarded his own private jet and traveled to Tokyo, Japan.

…

"Chairman, this is our flagship store of Kadokawa Bookstore in Ginza, Tokyo." As soon as he got off a Bentley, Ichiro Takizawa pointed to a large bookstore opposite and introduced.

Since the acquisition of Kadokawa Bookstore and two other small bookstores three months ago, the entire new Kadokawa Bookstore has spread to all other Japanese cities except Hokkaido. However, the disadvantage is that the current Kadokawa Bookstore is in Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya, etc. The layout in large cities is weak. After all, before Xu Zhi’s acquisition, Kadokawa Bookstore’s capital strength was not strong.

But problems that can be solved with money are not big problems.

Although Japan's housing prices have not yet entered the crazy state after 1985, as the only developed country in Asia, land rents in prime locations in its first-tier cities are still out of reach for many people.

However, for Xu Zhi, who knew the future, it was very simple to solve this problem. He directly transferred 10 billion yen (US$40 million) from Midea Company and directly bought 20 prime commercial locations in these big cities. These stores range in size from large to small, and several of the larger ones will serve as flagship stores of Kadokawa Bookstore.

The bookstore in front of me is located on Ginza Street in Tokyo. It cost 2.5 billion yen to buy. Before that, it was a luxury store.

Now it has been replaced by a bookstore, which is really puzzling to ordinary businessmen. From a cost point of view, just selling books is not as cost-effective as renting out the store.

But what Xu Zhi wants is this effect. Countless young people come to Ginza every year to go shopping. These people are potential customers of comics. As long as they know the brand of Kadokawa Shoten, Xu Zhi will not care about the so-called rent at all, let alone Needless to say, in a few years, housing prices here will rise even more horribly than in Xiangjiang.

"Let's go in and take a look." Xu Zhi smiled.

"Yes, Chairman, please." Takizawa Ichiro bowed and said.

"The smell is a bit strong!" Xu Zhi smelled something just as he entered the bookstore.

Takizawa Ichiro said: "Sorry, Chairman, the bookcases here are all new custom-made products, and they will have some wood smell. The smell will disappear in just one month."

"Okay, if the Qingfeng system is turned on faster, the taste will be much better." Xu Zhi said, and looked at the entire bookstore carefully.

The decoration style here is very simple. The walls are mainly colored in milky white. The books inside are mainly various comics. The color of the bookcases is green wood, which looks very natural. Various comic books are either horizontal or vertical. Placed on cabinets, most are sealed, but there are several books of each type for visitors to browse.

"How many books can be sold here in a day?" Xu Zhi asked.

Ichiro Takizawa replied: "The average is almost 6,000. It mainly depends on whether there are best-selling comics released on that day, such as Doraemon, Astro Boy, and Tennis Sweetheart. These comics are released on different dates, and the sales volume on that day will be very high. height of."

"How about Crayon Shin-chan's sales?" Xu Zhi asked casually.

Takizawa Ichiro replied: "Before February, the sales volume was not in the top ten, but since our animation started to be broadcast on TV stations, the sales volume has also increased a lot."

"Akita Nobutada really made a lot of money." Xu Zhi said with a smile. Crayon Shin-chan gave it to TV stations for free for broadcast. This naturally aroused the interest of many TV stations, although it was not enough. Let this free anime be on prime time, but the large number of regular broadcasts also brought Crayon Shin-chan a lot of fame.

As his fame grows, the sales of this comic will naturally follow. However, due to the early contract, Crayon Shin-chan's comics are temporarily published by Akita Bookstore.

Ichiro Takizawa then asked: "Chairman, our contract with Akita Bookstore is about to expire. That old man Akita Nobutada has approached me many times to renew the contract. I wonder if you have any other considerations about this matter?"

Xu Zhixiao asked: "Do you want to take back the Crayon Shin-chan franchise?"

Ichiro Takizawa nodded and said: "Of course, now that this comic has become famous and we have our own channels, creating a book is not a problem at all.

Although Akita Bookstore paid a lot of promotion for Crayon Shin-chan in the early stage, it also made a lot of money. Whether it is according to the contract or considering our own interests, we should take it back. "

Xu Zhi asked: "When will the contract expire?"

"There is still one month." Takizawa Ichiro replied.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "It is necessary to take back the printing of Crayon Shin-chan, but this comic alone is not enough. I have prepared several new comics in Hong Kong, which will become the basis of our new comics. First work?"

"How many comics?" Takizawa Ichiro asked in surprise: "I wonder what the subject matter is about?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Do you know the Chinese classical story Journey to the West? It's the mythical story about monkeys."

"Of course I have heard of it. I have read three of the four great classics of the Chinese nation, and I also like Journey to the West very much." Ichiro Takizawa said with a smile. Some Chinese classical books are very popular in Japan, and the most famous one is probably the Three Kingdoms. Romance, some of its tactics are very popular among Japanese young people.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The first story I want to publish is mainly based on the characters of Journey to the West, but the plot is completely different. The background is an earth with a magical and martial arts color."

Ichiro Takizawa nodded and said: "If there are characters from Journey to the West in the comics, it will be much easier for us to promote them."

"The second story is about some robot life, but the background of the story is not on Earth.

The third part is a comic about a special life form. You will know it when the comic comes out. "Xu Zhi said simply.

Although he was very curious about the specific storyline, the boss was obviously unwilling to say more, so he asked: "Chairman, when will these comics be officially released?"
