Chapter 563 Comics Department
"According to the feedback from the publicity department, the popularity of terms related to Pegasus Food Cart is continuing to rise. The # you purchased at 7:26 am is a word about the fugitive Disney princess actually bringing a carriage to the enemy # The article is currently ranked eighth in the hot search list, and someone is suspected of..."
Jiang Qi waved his hand and interrupted Hu Qing, who was reporting on his work: "This popularity should be bought by Ms. Xu's agency. Half an hour ago, the agency bought the Pegasus food truck for 2.08 million. It will make its debut next Wednesday. , with a fireworks show. The incident happened suddenly, and Principal Peggy may have only informed me, but not you before she could. Please pay attention to follow up on the fireworks report. Principal Peggy may not be very good at this aspect of work. "
Hu Qing nodded slightly: "Okay boss, I will communicate with Principal Peggy about the next matters."
"In addition, the finance department has compiled the financial report for the first quarter of this year. Director Jiang said it has been handed over to you. I have some additional explanations here."
"The comic department lost 1.779 million yuan in the first quarter, and the animation adaptation is not going well. This morning, Mr. Xue Shaoheng's agent, Ms. Xue Hua, called and said that on May 4th, there was a scholar from abroad in Peking. Experts came for consultation, and she has made an appointment with the hospital for treatment."
“Mr.
Jiang Qi thought for a while and asked: "Where is the plot of the comic now?"
There were so many real toy spirits playing happily in Box 1 of the train-themed hotel, so Jiang Qi naturally didn't pay much attention to the comics being serialized online.
In fact, the comics department is probably the most losing department in the amusement park.
Although Xue Shaoheng is the main writer, he is unable to serve as the main writer due to personal reasons and is only responsible for the Toy Spirit part. The rest are all handled by assistants with rich comic experience hired by the amusement park with high salaries.
When there are more people, the cost goes up.
But to put it bluntly, these are just small amounts of money. What really caused the comics department to suffer serious losses was the promotion fees.
The publicity department spends a huge amount of money every month to promote the Toy Spirit comic series.
This kind of publicity fee is not a one-time deal like buying a hot search. Once you buy a hot search, it will be over. If you are lucky, you can earn back the money as soon as you spend it like today. The cash will be realized quickly and the effect will be immediate.
Investment in comics is long-term and yields slow results.
In order to attract more readers, the Toy Spirit series of comics adopts a free-to-read model with no charge. Less than a month after the comic was launched, a comic journal contacted the amusement park and asked if the amusement park was interested in moving the comic to the journal for serialization. The other party offered a very generous royalties for newcomers.
Jiang Qi asked about the circulation of this journal and felt that it was not acceptable, so the contact person refused.
The editor-in-chief of this journal was so angry that he scolded the amusement park for not knowing what is good and what is good. What kind of profit can be gained from putting this kind of comics for young people on the Internet? Does Jiang Qi still want to expect children around 10 years old to go online every week to catch up on updates and recharge their subscriptions? ?
Of course, Jiang Qi couldn't expect these minors to recharge their subscriptions, so he chose to pay for free.
The traffic brought for free is huge, and correspondingly, the advertising fees spent are also huge.
Jiang Qi remembered that in the first quarter after the comics department was founded, it lost more than 7 million yuan. When the financial report came out, Hu Qing thought that the finance department had made a miscalculation. After all, before the comic department was established, there were no loss-making projects in the amusement park. Taiping Town, theater, doll house, and toy theater were all included. If any one did not make a lot of money as soon as it opened, the word "loss" would not appear. On the amusement park's financial report.
Even if comics boost sales of toy peripherals, they will still be losing money.
Toy peripherals have been the best-selling items in amusement parks for a long time, and comics can only be regarded as the icing on the cake rather than a timely help.
Not to mention that the sales volume driven by comics cannot make up for its own huge losses.
After the financial report came out, people in all departments of the amusement park felt that Jiang Qi would definitely lay off the cartoon department.
There are two groups in the cartoon department, one group is responsible for cartoon production, and they are basically all in Beiping. The second group is responsible for comic promotion and works in the amusement park.
Of course, Jiang Qi couldn't lay off the comics department. He established the comics department not to make money, but for Kaka's side missions.
[Saving Wizard Kaka]: Wizard Kaka, the guardian of the Toy Spirit, is about to disappear because he has not been able to get enough love from humans for a long time. Train DaDa said that it is willing to pay any price to prevent the wizard Kaka from disappearing. Players are asked to help Wizard Kaka gain 100,000 favorite reputation points and 10,000 extreme favorite reputation points, and ensure that no less than 1,000 people love Wizard Kaka every month.
Mission reward: "Toy Story" card drawing number +1, "Toy Story 2: The Adventures of the Train" +1 card drawing number
It is easy to save 100,000 points of favorite reputation points, and it is easy to save 10,000 points of extreme favorite reputation points. It is difficult to have no less than 1,000 people liking the wizard Kaka every month.
People like the new and hate the old.
The Wizard Kaka Park in another world was demolished by Carter's unfilial descendants because it was not profitable. Who can guarantee that after Jiang Qi builds the Wizard Kaka Park in this world, Kaka will always be loved by everyone?
People's love cannot always exist, but if there is a good work that can be remembered, love can always last longer.
Jiang Qi created the comics department just to burn money to increase Kaka's popularity.
Before Kaka was drawn out, Jiang Qi couldn't let Kaka perform in the toy theater like other toy spirits and sell peripherals to increase popularity and popularity. The setting of the Toy Spirit can only be thrown out through comics, establishing Kaka's status as the guardian of the Toy Spirit, and paving the way for the wizard Kaka Park and the mission to save Kaka.
As long as the losses remain within Jiang Qi's acceptable range, he is not afraid of burning money.
Of course, Jiang Qi couldn't tell others these thoughts. After all, in the eyes of executives like Hu Qing, Jiang Qi established the comics department to serve toys. To put it bluntly, it was for peripheral sales and IP speculation.
After all, if he can really produce and sell a hot IP that is completely his own, the income will be so high that Jiang Qi will not have to struggle for the rest of his life and sleep on money every day.
Therefore, after the previous quarter's financial report came out, everyone felt that the comics department was finished.
Oh ho.
Look at our amusement park, where are there any departments that are losing money? Forget it if you are losing money, you are still losing so much.
With this loss of yours, Toys Next Door almost lost a whole quarter.
Not only did everyone think that the comic series was finished, but the cartoon group itself felt that it was finished.
Of course Xue Shaoheng is not worried about being laid off. He has his own job and earns income from his paintings every year. He agreed to Jiang Qi to draw comics for him purely because he likes it.
Xue Shaoheng may not care, but it is impossible for others to care.
Others in the group, when they saw the financial reports for the first two quarters of the comic department, worked overtime for two days and almost died suddenly in front of the digital tablet to show their loyalty to the boss.
Boss, our comic department's losses are all the fault of the second team. Our first team are all hard-working workers!
As for the second group...
The second group is already secretly sending in resumes and waiting to be fired.
Of course, the dedicated Jiang Qi in the group cannot be seen. He doesn’t even follow the comics, so how does he know the update speed? Jiang Qi had long been prepared for the comics department's losses. Money is not spent all at once. Every money spent by the comics department is checked by Jiang Cha and Jiang Qi nods.
One of the reasons why we lost so much is because we spent a lot of money on publicity in the early stage, and we just spent money without seeing any returns. Another reason is that the theme of Toy Spirit is slightly younger and is not liked by users who read comics online.
Jiang Qi just asked Jiang Cha to conduct an in-depth investigation to see if anyone was embezzling. After confirming that everyone was working conscientiously, but the results were simply not good, and the huge advertising fees invested were not proportional to the meager advertising revenue, he just criticized it at the meeting. A few words, some deductions for performance and handling with care.
Then the comic department continued to lose money in the second quarter. This time there was improvement, with a loss of less than 4 million.
Advertising fees remain unchanged, but comic traffic has increased a lot.
For this reason, Jiang Qi also praised the comics department and asked them to keep up their efforts.
Then the comics department lived up to expectations and kept working hard. The losses were getting smaller and smaller. From a loss of 7 million in the first quarter to only a loss of 1.7 million in a quarter now.
Although I have been losing money and have never made any money, there is always progress.
According to Jiang Cha's estimation, Jiang Qi will be able to see the money back in about three quarters.
As for getting your money back...
There is a long way to go.
Jiang Qi's tolerance towards the comics department led everyone to believe that the comics department was actually a money-burning little hobby of the boss.
The boss likes it, what can you say?
Of course, as long as the boss is happy.
After discovering that they were actually the emperor's confidants, the employees of the comics team were almost crazy with joy.
It is true that when working in a comic group, all you do is the work of a marionette-like assistant who is new to the industry. You are destined not to be famous, and it seems difficult to get ahead, but there is a lot of money!
The cartoon group is in Peiping, and they get the salary of Peking, and enjoy the benefits of food and accommodation in the amusement park.
Dreaming of becoming a cartoonist is just a dream for young people who have just graduated and have not been beaten by society. The employees of the cartoon team, who have been beaten so badly by society that they are just serving pancakes, just want to have food and shelter to support themselves and their children. Wife and children.
Just kidding, you can still make a living by drawing comics these days, and no college classmate would be able to say something awesome about it.
In order to better serve as the emperor's confidants, the employees of the comic group began to be involved in life and death.
"The current progress of the comic is that the princess bravely braves the snowy mountains after being abandoned by her master. The princess rushes in front, and Kaka chases behind." Hu Qingdao.
He won't tell Jiang Qi that it's because his son likes this comic. In order to have more to talk to during video calls with his son, he catches up on it every Saturday.
"This..." Jiang Qi tried to remember where he saw last time, but found that he couldn't remember, so he gave up, "Would it be bad if we stopped here for half a month?"
Even if Jiang Qi doesn't follow comics, he knows that the comics of Toy Spirit are composed of Kaka as the protagonist and different popular toys as supporting characters.
Now the update has obviously reached the princess unit. If the update is interrupted for half a month, the response may not be very good.
"You don't need to worry about this. One team said they will speed up the progress and finish the princess chapter before asking for leave."
Jiang Qi:?
What did you say?
"How much of the princess chapter is left to be completed?"
"About a hundred pages or so!"
Jiang Qi:......
Is it true that the people in the comic group will not die suddenly?
Or are they all like Xue Shaoheng, who draws freely in his heart, each has super powers, and can draw very fast.
For Kaka, the comic group really paid too much!
"Um...the cartoon group has worked hard too. Let's give everyone some bonus this month. The half-month break will be considered as paid leave. Let everyone have a good rest and don't be stressed."
"Okay boss." Hu Qing wrote down, "About the anime adaptation..."
"There's no rush. If we can't reach an agreement, let's talk slowly." Jiang Qi said calmly, his thoughts starting to diverge.
Having said that, should he spend tens of thousands of dollars to design the Wizard Kaka Park first with a product catalog?
Very good, once the cooling-off period comes, customize one first and see the price.
Having said that, the Pegasus food truck has made back 2.08 million before it was officially put into use. If I buy another one, and the new one is dismantled by Principal Peggy, it doesn’t seem too...
No, no.
Jiang Qi shook his head violently, trying to drive this terrible thought out of his mind.
Principal Peggy's brainwashing technique was so terrible. How could she think that it would be okay to buy another one and dismantle it for her?
"Feedback from the canteen..." Hu Qing, who was continuing to report unimportant work, paused while Jiang Qi shook his head.
Shake your head?
Why is the boss shaking his head?
Does the boss think the updated menu in the canteen is not good?
That's right, the boss often eats in the canteen and has very high requirements for the food in the canteen. It seems that the boss doesn't like Cantonese food. He needs to tell Chef Bai not to let the new chef of Jasmine Restaurant be in charge of the staff canteen. The boss doesn't like it.
Hu Qing wrote it down secretly and continued to report.
.
By the time Hu Qing reported all the work, it was already 9:46.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Qi sent a message to Jiang Bing and Jiang Wanwan to remind them not to be late, and then walked straight towards the Wild Star Adventure Project.
On the first day of the official closed beta, of course he, the boss, had to pretend to be an ordinary player and join the closed beta with everyone.
After all, his work today has been completed after Hu Qing's report. From now on, even if he sits in the office, he will just scroll through his mobile phone and watch TV. There are no classes at the Incredible Magic Academy, so he might as well come to Wild Star to take the risk of picking up trash.
The boss's daily life is so plain and boring.
When Jiang Qi came to the Huangxing Adventure Project, the troops had already arrived. Because he arrived late, he was assigned to the changing room No. 16.
There were only 7 people in the changing room on No. 16. When Jiang Qi entered, the first 6 people had already put on protective clothing. Most of them were taking pictures or sending messages with their mobile phones. There was only one young boy in the corner who was scratching his head and registering an APP. .
Jiang Qi walked to the cabinet next to the boy, took out the protective clothing from the cabinet and started to put it on.
"Hiss - what's going on? Why are people calling me all the names? On Tuesday, people are trying to grab my dick. You can't have the same name in this game. How can you register if you can't have the same name?" the boy said angrily.
Jiang Qi:6
This guy and Zhou Yuan must have a lot in common.
"The name you choose cannot be the same. If it is the same real name as the real-name authentication, you can have the same name." Jiang Qi explained, "N37 Star hopes that citizens will use their real names to show others."
"Oh, that's it." The boy suddenly realized and named his character Zhou Zhongyi.
"Brother, you are so understanding! Did you read the long list of game instructions before registration? I don't like to read these things. I didn't even see the interface for successful registration. I don't know there are two things on that interface. You can download the APP in advance using the QR code.”
"Only when I arrived did I realize that many people had already downloaded the game in advance and had been playing all night. I heard that the little man in the APP is very intelligent. If you poke him, he will react. He can also wander around and pick up some outside. Is it true that the things came back?" Zhou Zhongyi asked.
"It's true." Jiang Qi nodded, "My villain picked up two bricks from outside and brought them back, which can be used to build a house. However, it is useless to rely on villains to pick them up. Building a house requires 50,000 bricks and more. Please, if you want to experience more gameplay in this game, you still have to come here to pick up trash. I just want to play it online for five minutes a day to keep the little people fed and clothed."
Hearing what Jiang Qi said, Zhou Zhongyi was overjoyed, thinking that he had met Gao Wan, and exclaimed: "Wow, buddy, you are so understanding! Didn't you study all night yesterday?"
"That's not true." Jiang Qi shook his head, "I'm an employee of an amusement park."
Zhou Zhongyi:?
Hearing that Jiang Qi was a staff member, the others quickly gathered around and asked:
"Brother, how do you play this game?"
"The staff member who just brought us in was so fierce. He said he was a staff member of some kind of garbage dump. Is this a role-playing game?"
"Are you a player or a staff member later?"
A beautiful girl with twin tails squeezed to the front and said: "Are you a staff member of our group? I just went to take a look next door. There are staff members in the changing room next door. Everyone in them has registered. After APP changed his clothes, the staff were all in on the fun. They said they voted for him as the best employee, how nice he was!"
After hearing what the beautiful girl said, Jiang Qi realized that there was something weird about this changing room.
There are no staff here!
Could it be that F1101 was negligent and forgot that today's internal testing meeting would be overcrowded, so he only arranged 15 androids in the changing room?
Just when Jiang Qi was thinking about whether to call F1101, F3333 slowly walked into the changing room.
"Are you all done? Wear your protective suits carefully, line up for me to check, and put on your gloves. We will go in in 2 minutes. There is radiation in the garbage dump. Don't blame me if you get radiation sickness. I didn't remind you." F3333 yawned, "It's really unlucky that I have to go to work again today."
"You can see that there are no notices on the wall. My job number is F3333. I won the Labor Star last month. Please remember to vote for me later. When you recycle, come to me and I will give you an extra 1R."
As he said that, F3333 yawned again: "Is everything okay? Quickly line up in a line for me to check. After checking, go to the right to get the tools. Each person has three items, and the basket is carried on the back. You don't need me to teach you this?" After finishing the tools, I just walked forward from the front and kept walking until I reached the garbage dump. I was too lazy to lead the way because there were no forked roads anyway."
"There will be an announcement at the end. I'm at the collection point 33. Just come to me after voting."
"What are you doing standing still? Move quickly."
After saying that, F3333 leaned against the wall, as if what he just said had consumed all his energy.
Everyone:?
Jiang Qi:......
As expected of you, F3333, the god of fishing. (End of chapter)
