We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

What kind of genius is this? Is there anything the boss doesn't know?

At this moment, whether it was Yang Chaoye, Li Shuai, or Wang Zhiye, they all had this thought in their minds.

"Let me take a look. I used to work in a publishing house, and it just so happens that they had a comic book publishing department. I know a little bit about it," Li Shuai said first.

That was Li Shuai's first reaction when he saw the protagonist's name.

However, as he read more and more of the outline, he realized that the beginning did indeed borrow some settings from "Journey to the West", but the story background was completely different.

The prototype of Son Goku in "Dragon Ball" is actually Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven from "Journey to the West". Not only is the name the same, but he also has a tail on his butt and wields a Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff). The settings are exactly the same as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

It's just that in the original timeline, after "Dragon Ball" became a huge hit, the author slowly let Goku break away from the setting of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

The detailed outline actually describes the essence of a work, so reading the outline can also reveal the general direction of the story's development.

After reading only a part of it, Li Shuai knew that if this comic outline were to be drawn into a comic, it would be a very popular work.

Even "Old Master Q", which is very popular in the Chinese community, cannot compare to it at all.

Then, he picked up the detailed outlines of "One Piece", "Naruto", and other comics and roughly looked at them.

"President Yang, these works all have the potential to become huge hits," Li Shuai said earnestly to Yang Chaoye after taking a deep breath and putting down the outline in his hand.

After receiving Li Shuai's reply, Yang Chaoye became more and more curious about Su Cheng.

Originally, he thought that Su Cheng was just a rare business genius who had created such a large enterprise at a young age.

But the more he came into contact with him, the more he realized that although this boss was young, he was like a mystery from head to toe, and his bottom line was completely unclear.

"I own the copyright to the comics, but after the comics are released, Xia Yi Literature Media Company can create one or more comic magazines and directly issue them in weekly form. I believe this will also bring Xia Yi Literature Media Company into a high-speed track," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Boss, this will definitely give our company's revenue a leap forward. I've even started planning to distribute the comic sales market to Dongying, South Korea, America, Europe, and other places," Li Shuai said excitedly.

Ten comics had already given Li Shuai great ambition.

Unlike wuxia novels, the audience for comics will be wider.

Wuxia novels, no matter how popular, are mostly only popular in the Chinese community due to the influence of culture and customs.

But some comics are different. Teenagers all over the world are the target audience.

Take the comic "Dragon Ball" as an example. Obviously, there is not much subjective cultural communication. It belongs to a fictional world with no national boundaries. The story is easy to understand and simple, and this general tone is suitable for readers in all countries and regions.

In the world before Su Cheng traveled through time, the most important reason why "Dragon Ball" had such a huge global influence was that it did not have too much local culture, but was suitable for the masses.

Therefore, these comics have great potential, which is also the source of Li Shuai's ambition.

"This is just a part of the plot. I have the subsequent content. After these are drawn, I will bring the subsequent ones over," Su Cheng said with a smile.

Ten comics are enough to create ten big IPs.

At that time, it can not only be published and produced into animation, but also can develop comic peripheral products, such as dolls, T-shirts, stationery, etc. In addition, the tourist resorts that Su Cheng builds in the future can also integrate these IPs into it.

Wouldn't that be a park comparable to Disney?

What's more, Su Cheng has more than just these comic IPs. In the future, there will also be "Harry Potter", "The Lion King", "SpongeBob SquarePants" and other future big IPs that have not yet appeared.

It is no longer limited to Eastern culture, but also Western culture, and fictional culture. Such a hodgepodge may really attract tourists from all over the world!

The key is how to design this amusement park.

Since they have not yet been born, Su Cheng has advanced the time of their birth, and the copyright owner is naturally Su Cheng.

Li Shuai became even more excited when he heard that Su Cheng still had subsequent plots.

The future of Xia Yi Literature Media Company is not worried.

"Boss, President Yang, I suggest that Xia Yi Literature Media Company be renamed Xia Yi Media Company, after all, the company will not only have literary works in the future, but comics are also an important part," Li Shuai suggested.

"You can make a decision after discussing it internally within the group," Su Cheng said to Yang Chaoye and Li Shuai.

"Well, boss, what are the requirements for recruiting cartoonists?" Li Shuai asked.

"Since we're talking about this issue, let me talk about the two main points. First, the cartoonist's drawing skills must be good. I believe many cartoonists can meet this point;

Second, sign a strict contract. I am very confident in these comics. They can all become phenomenal comics and are destined to be popular all over the world. So I am afraid that these cartoonists have ulterior motives and want to attribute the copyright of the comics to themselves, or after quitting in the future, they will try to rub the heat of the comic works. You must discuss countermeasures with the lawyer on how to make this contract!

In short, character is very important. When interviewing cartoonists, call in psychologists and let them secretly test the character of the interviewees! Instead of just hiring them as long as their drawing skills are good."

Su Cheng simply said some of the content he personally thought of.

In his previous life, Su Cheng had watched such a video. A set of houses had been rented out for more than ten years, and the tenants had remained unchanged. The rent had never been raised. Suddenly, one day, the house was to be demolished, and a lot of money was compensated. Originally, this demolition money had nothing to do with the tenants, but the tenants felt that: He had lived here for so many years, and this was his home. His home was demolished, so it wouldn't be too much to share half of the demolition money, right?

There are such oddballs, and there are many of them.

The landlord is like Su Cheng, and the tenant is like a comic book ghostwriter.

This is not a joke, but it really happened. Su Cheng had seen many such cases in his previous life.

Although people who want to cause trouble are destined to have no good end with Su Cheng's current status, Su Cheng also does not want to see such disgusting people appear, so he should make preparations early and be prepared.

"Okay, I will discuss with President Yang, the HR Director, the Group Legal Advisor, etc. on how to recruit cartoonists. After we discuss the results, I will report to you, boss!" Li Shuai replied.
