Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Very good, you did a good job! Keep working hard!"

After reading it, Xia Yu raised his head and praised Gavin Peter who was looking forward to it.

"Thank you boss for the compliment!"

Xia Yu's compliment made Gavin Peter very happy, but he still didn't get carried away. Knowing that the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" were so high this time, he actually didn't take much credit.

The foundation and influence of "Xun Qin Ji" is there, and the "Jiuding Daily" continues to assist, even if it is published by the original Jiuding Newspaper Company, the sales volume will not be much worse than it is now.

So Gavin Peter's head is very calm, this time it can't be counted on his head, he just executed Xia Yu's order, what can really show his ability should be the publication of other books and various business. Pioneering, until then, how well done can truly reflect his ability.

Seeing that Gavin Peter was very calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, Xia Yu nodded secretly, and his evaluation of him was a little higher. As expected, he is indeed the person who can make Penguin Publishing Group the first in the industry in future generations.

Looking at the watch in his hand again, Xia Yu asked, "Has this data been released to the public?"

"It has been announced to the public. The table made by working overtime last night, and then I communicated with Yan Wenhan and put this data on the "Jiuding Daily" and asked him to help promote it."

Gavin Peter replied quickly.

"Well, well done!"

Xia Yu nodded lightly and said.

It stands to reason that Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Book Publishing Company are two companies, and the cooperation with each other must be carried out according to the procedures, just like the Jiuding Book Publishing Company advertises on the "Jiuding Daily", and it has to pay the advertising fee.

But the "Looking for Qin Ji" published this time is owned by the boss Xia Yu, and Yan Wenhan will definitely not set any obstacles. After all, the company is owned by the boss. He will not talk about money unless his mind is full. The money is left with the right, and instead, there is an extra tax to be paid, and the loss is Xia Yu's money.

Furthermore, the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" this time have set an unparalleled record, and it is a very exciting news in itself. Even if Gavin Peter does not say that, as the helm of a qualified newspaper company, this kind of news has to be arranged by someone. to report.

Of course, after all, the most important thing is that, although it is divided into two companies, they are both 100% owned by the same boss. It can be said that they are brothers, and there is no outsider restraint at all. In addition, Xia Yu also specifically explained that However, in a special period, some things must be done in accordance with the rules and regulations, but there are some rules and regulations that can be ignored first to speed up work efficiency and make the company develop faster.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Wenhan, Wang Qi, Ma Tengdong and Gavin Peter have also become good friends in private. company of.

This situation, Xia Yu is also very clear, this is what he is willing to see.

As long as these four companies develop, a small consortium has already taken shape. As long as a bank is added, it can properly be regarded as a small local and regional consortium. Although limited by the limited number of industries, it will appear Very partial and flimsy.

As a consortium, the most important point is that the core enterprises within the consortium must exchange resources, help each other develop, and be consistent with the outside world!

What is a consortium? It is understood from the simplest literal meaning, that is, wealth and financial resources are held together, so they should develop together and communicate with each other.

It is because of this consideration that Xia Yu encouraged them to communicate and cooperate.

After staying at Jiuding Book Publishing Company for a while, Xia Yu encouraged Gavin Peter a few words, and then went to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. in the same building.

...

"boss!"

"Boss, good morning!"

"Hello!"

Xia Yu walked into the company with his hands behind his back, and the employees inside greeted him respectfully when they saw Xia Yu. Xia Yu showed a kind smile and nodded in response.

Xia Yu noticed that the attitude of the employees in the company towards him had changed a lot.

He could clearly tell that the employees had respected him before, but now they are full of awe.

Xia Yu thought about it for a while and felt that it should have started when he started to organize the Hong Kong comics industry. When Yulang Books and Shenghuo Publishing House closed down for rectification, and many other comics companies were also implicated, the attitude of the employees changed fundamentally. Variety.

It is estimated that his methods shocked them. I didn't expect Xia Yu, a seemingly harmless boss, to be so cruel, and they, as practitioners in the comics industry, have a deeper understanding than people outside.

In particular, many employees in the company who have switched jobs from other comic companies must have a very complicated mood during this period.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu didn't care. This kind of thing can only let the employees adapt to him slowly, not his boss to change with them.

Xia Yu walked into the company, and when he passed by Ma Tengdong's office, he saw the door of his office opened. Ma Tengdong was sitting at his desk in deep thought, his expression was a little tangled, and his expression changed. It seemed that he was too focused and did not notice Xia Yu. to the door.

Xia Yu knocked on the door, and Ma Tengdong raised his head impatiently. When he saw that it was Xia Yu, he immediately stood up, restrained his impatient expression, and said respectfully, "Boss!"

"Um!"

"Oh? Has the first issue of "Zhiyin Manke" been published?"

Walking to the front, Xia Yu glanced casually, and after seeing the things on Ma Tengdong's table, he raised his brows and said.

"Yes, boss, I just arranged for someone to print the first book today. I'm going to report this to you. Please take a look."

Ma Tengdong said immediately, then picked up the magazine and handed it to Xia Yu.

"Okay, I'll take a look first!"

Xia Yu took the magazine, then sat on the sofa and looked at it with scrutiny.

Ma Tengdong started to make tea on the side, and his eyes were constantly watching the change of the boss Xia Yu's expression.

Xia Yu didn't read the content of the comics, but looked at the layout and layout of the magazine.

After a long time, Xia Yu flipped through the entire magazine and said with a satisfied smile: "Well, it's very good, just print it according to this template."

Hearing Xia Yu's evaluation, Ma Tengdong breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements later."

"By the way, what is the cost of this magazine, and do you have any suggestions on the selling price?"

"Boss, our magazine is designed with a sixteenth length, with a total of forty-eight editions, and according to your request, the inner pages are full-color pages, so the printing cost is relatively high."

"I have calculated that if the printing volume is 100,000 copies, the total cost can be controlled at about 1.3 Hong Kong dollars, and the cost will decrease with the increase of printing volume. In order to ensure profits, I suggest that the ex-factory price is At 2.2 Hong Kong dollars, the unified retail price is 3 Hong Kong dollars, leaving 26.7% of the gross profit to the dealers.”

Ma Tengdong blurted out the report, and he has long been familiar with this data.

Hearing what Ma Tengdong said, Xia Yu thought for a while, nodded silently, and approved the price.

He had known the situation of Xiangjiang comics industry before.

Huang Yulang's "Dragon Tiger Gate" also has sixteen openings, but it is sixteen horizontally, while "Zhiyin Manke" is sixteen vertical.

The number of editions is the same forty-eight editions, so in this regard, the paper cost of "Zhiyin Manke" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" are the same.

In terms of color, "Dragon Tiger Gate" is also a full-color page, and the price is HKD 2.5 per copy.

However, this price has been implemented since 1976 and has remained unchanged for two years so far.

Therefore, Ma Tengdong raised the price of "Zhiyin Manke" to 3 Hong Kong dollars a copy, which is not too high. In two years, he raised 0.5 Hong Kong dollars a copy. I believe readers should also accept it.

And now is a special period. The Hong Kong government is vigorously rectifying the comics industry, which has led to the suspension of many comics magazines, and readers cannot draw even if they have money.

So this is a good time to raise the price. As long as "Zhiyin Manke" comes out, even if it is 0.5 Hong Kong dollars higher, readers will still accept it if there is no choice, and will naturally adapt to it.

After raising the price, the profit of the comic magazine increased by 0.5 Hong Kong dollars.

According to the printing volume of 100,000 copies, the cost of a copy is 1.3 Hong Kong dollars, and the ex-factory price is 2.2 Hong Kong dollars. The gross profit of selling comics alone can be 40%, and if the printing volume increases and the cost decreases, the gross profit will be even higher. !

In the situation that Xia Yu learned, the retail price of "Dragon Tiger Gate" is 2.5 Hong Kong dollars, the ex-factory price is 1.8 Hong Kong dollars, the cost should be around 1.4 Hong Kong dollars, and the gross profit is only 22.2%.

However, for comics, it is good for magazines to be profitable, in addition to advertising revenue and peripheral licensing revenue, those are the bulk.

The gross profit calculated by Xia Yu's "Zhiyin Manke" can be so high. The most important thing is to raise the price by 0.5 Hong Kong dollars, which is an extra 0.5 Hong Kong dollars in gross profit.

"Okay, the price will follow this!"

Xia Yu said to Ma Tengdong, who was waiting for his opinion.

Ma Tengdong nodded and replied, "Yeah!"

Suddenly, Xia Yu remembered what was wrong with Ma Tengdong just now, and he asked with concern: "Tengdong, I saw you frowning just now, what's wrong? What trouble did you encounter?"

Ma Tengdong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the boss to see his appearance just now.

But since the boss saw it, and he was hesitant to mention it to the boss, since the boss took the initiative to ask at this time, he no longer hesitated. It also saved him from continuing to struggle.

After making the decision, Ma Tengdong said bravely: "I don't have a problem, that is, I want to ask you, when will our comic magazine be released? The current situation of the Hong Kong comics industry and public opinion seems to..."

In the end, Ma Tengdong still didn't have the courage to explain. After all, the current situation, or the predicament he was facing, was caused by the boss. If he continued to talk, he would have blamed the boss.

But even if Ma Tengdong didn't continue, Xia Yu understood what he wanted to express.

"It turned out to be this problem, I thought you were worried about it!"

Xia Yu smiled indifferently and said.

Seeing the boss's reaction, Ma Tengdong was a little puzzled, blinked, and found that the boss didn't seem surprised or worried.

Does the boss already have a plan?

Ma Tengdong raised an expectation in his heart, and looked closely at Xia Yu.

"I didn't make it clear to you before. I thought about this from the beginning. The purpose of using public opinion is to clean up other colleagues, reshape the environment of the comics industry, and formulate new rules, not to destroy the comics industry."

"Part of the plan has only been carried out now. You are worried that the current public opinion situation will resist comics one-sidedly. You don't have to worry about this. Now that "Zhiyin Manke" has been finalized, it is time for the comics industry to get back on track. "

"I can make public opinion fall on one side, and I can naturally make public opinion fall on the other side, so you don't have to worry, get ready to issue the magazine soon."

Xia Yu explained with a light smile.

Hearing what Xia Yu said, Ma Tengdong was overjoyed and completely relieved. At the same time, he secretly blamed himself. Sure enough, he thought too much. The boss thought more things than him.

Thinking that the magazine would be published soon, and after more than two months, it was finally time to test the results, Ma Tengdong couldn't help clenching his fists, looking forward to it.

"You are doing your best to prepare now. If the time comes, you will get out of the basket, and I will find trouble for you."

Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong and said jokingly.

Although the boss said it in a joking tone, Ma Tengdong took it 200% seriously and said solemnly, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely prepare it and make sure that I won't be in a basket!"

"Well, make a release plan and let me see it in a few days!"

Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement, and then warned.

"Yes!"

Ma Tengdong raised the volume and assured.

"Let's go, take me to various comic studios, so that I can understand the specific progress."

After drinking a sip of tea, Xia Yu put down the teacup and stood up and said.

"Please come with me!"

Ma Tengdong said quickly, and then led Xia Yu to the comic studio.

The first one to go in was the "Dragon Ball" studio.

As soon as I entered, I saw dozens of employees burying their heads in painting, and the entire studio was filled with the rustling sound of brushes rubbing against the paper.

Xia Yu and Ma Tengdong walked in and looked at the drawings of various employees. Some employees looked up and found Xia Yu and the two of them. They were about to shout, but they saw Xia Yu beckoning to stop them.

At this time, Xia Yu saw that Ma Rongcheng was concentrating on painting. He walked behind him and watched him paint. After observing for a minute, he showed a satisfied smile.

It's really good. Although Ma Rongcheng's skills are not very strong, considering his age, he is already stronger than his peers. At least what Xia Yu saw just now, Ma Rongcheng's level is no longer than those of the twenty-one-year-old employees. Worse.

Looking back, seeing Song Quanping who was waiting quietly beside him, Xia Yu nodded at him and said, "Go to your office and talk to the other two team leaders."

After Song Quanping replied, he walked towards the office with Xia Yu and Ma Tengdong.
