Chapter 124 Transformers Factory
"New Oolong Academy" had just been released, and Wang Yaowei took the opportunity to invite representatives from Southeast Asian theaters to sell the copyright of "New Oolong Academy".
The box office was high, and the royalties sold were slightly higher, reaching 68 million Hong Kong dollars.
The extra 8 million comes from Vietnam, Thailand, and the increase in the exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the Hong Kong dollar.
According to Liu Hongmin's instructions, after Zou Shifang left the funds for filming "Chinatown Detective" and "The Little Monk", everything else was transferred to the company's Japanese yen account.
Wang Yaowei handed over the collection of accounts to Zou Shifang, and negotiated with the representatives of the Thai theater chain about making a movie. After finishing his work, he invited Liu Hongmin to the toy factory.
“This factory is too small and we don’t have many goods in stock. And I haven’t thought of a way to promote it yet, so I just distribute the goods in Hong Kong. Each one is sold for HK$88, which is a bit expensive for children. , but as soon as the goods are put on the shelves, they will be sold out."
Liu Hongmin: "Xiangjiang is too small."
Wang Yaowei nodded, "Not only is it small, but it is also difficult to recruit local workers. Not only is the salary high, but he is also keen on horse racing and stocks. He takes time off every day, and his mind is not on work at all. If it weren’t for many people from the mainland, the factory might not even be able to maintain its current production capacity.”
< br>"How is the construction of the factory over there in Pengcheng going?"
"Progress is very fast!"
Wang Yaowei: "Since our funds have been in place, Pengcheng has actively cooperated, and the factory has almost been built. If our machinery can be in place, we can recruit people for production at any time. .”
Liu Hongmin: “Can machinery only be ordered from abroad?”
“In fact, we have it in the mainland, so we can only order it from abroad for the time being.”
< br>Wang Yaowei said: "However, I have already told Pengcheng that they will help us contact the factory. I am more worried about the mold problem. I don't know if there is a factory in the mainland that can make Transformers parts. There are too many, and it’s a series of toys. If you order them all from abroad, it will take too much time, and you will have to queue up.”
You can worry about all these. I’ll study it with Pengcheng, I think they can help solve it.”
Whether it’s machines or molds, it’s a big deal for mainland factories. As long as Pengcheng can help bridge the gap, there will definitely be a factory willing to take the order and work overtime to get it done.
Arrived at the factory, Liu Hongmin followed Wang Yaowei for a tour, then picked up a few finished products and looked at them, feeling that the quality was pretty good.
"Give a few to the crew of "Detective" and ask He Jiajin to put them in his backpack."
Wang Yaowei's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, I will ask Brother Xiaoming Give Bumblebee a few more shots.”
"You don't have to be too deliberate, just let the audience notice. When the time comes, when the movie is broadcast in other countries, it will be our natural advertisement."
Wang Yaowei thought divergently, "Maybe we can send some to If we are familiar with the company and shoot a modern film, as long as they provide Bumblebee footage, they are giving us free advertising.”
Liu Hongmin gave a thumbs up, “That’s it!”
Wang Yaowei handed over to the factory director, "Put a box of Bumblebees and I will take them away in a moment."
The two walked out of the workshop. When there was no one around, Liu Hongmin asked: "How much does it cost to make Bumblebees?" How much is it? "
"The cost of materials is not high, but the labor cost is high. We calculated before that the cost of each bumblebee is less than ten Hong Kong dollars. Because the patent belongs to you personally. We set the patent fee for Wasp at HK$5. Calculated in this way, the factory cost is HK$50, and the factory has made a profit of HK$35 so far. Several million."
Liu Hongmin: "So, the money in the factory account alone is enough to open a factory in Pengcheng?" "Of course!" Wang Yaowei said: "There are already Southern Dynasties and Japanese. The agent over there wants to introduce Bumblebee. As long as we sign the contract, we can get a deposit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. "
"I'll be relieved then!"< br>
Liu Hongmin thought for a while, "I have already found someone to design other Transformers during this period. After you contact the factory that makes the molds, come to me to get the parts."
Wang Yaowei became curious, "How many Transformers are there?"
"I don't know, maybe dozens, maybe hundreds." Liu Hongmin said, "I'm going to contact the animation studio. Make a cartoon for Transformers."
"That's a good idea!" Wang Yaowei said, "I thought you would write a book to promote Transformers!"
Liu Hongmin: "The text is not vivid enough, and the sales group of Transformers is children, so it is more suitable to make it into a cartoon. Moreover, if it is introduced from foreign countries, you might be able to earn a royalties."
Wang Yaowei compared a big one Thumb, "You will still make money."
Liu Hongmin smiled, "Transformers is a gold mine, and a lot of ways to make money can be derived from it. When technology develops in the future, it can be made into a movie , That’s when it’s time to make money.”
“Made into a movie?” Wang Yaowei felt unbelievable and couldn’t imagine what it would be like.
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "After the animation is filmed, you can find some people to adapt it into comics, and you can make a lot of money."
Movies, animations, comics, Liu Hongmin is completely Promotional package.
Wang Yaowei has developed it into specific measures in his mind.
Xu Xiaoming also negotiated with the representatives of the Thai theater chain, and within half a month, he took the crew to Thailand.
Liu Hongmin also returned to the capital, preparing to spend the New Year with his family. Years later, he went to the community and participated in the election of public representatives. Competing with him were several cadres in the community.
Both sides have their own advantages. Those few have interpersonal relationships, and Liu Hongmin is famous. Fortunately, Liu Hongmin and two cadres were successfully elected. When they submitted their applications for city representative candidates, the two cadres knew that they had no hope, so they gave up the spot to Liu Hongmin.
During the municipal election, Liu Hongmin felt that it went surprisingly smoothly. He didn't know anyone, but everyone seemed to favor him and let him be elected.
What makes Liu Hongmin even more incredible is that he actually entered the city delegation.
It was so magical that Liu Hongmin even wanted to run to ask his wife if she had helped him through the back door.
But if I think about it carefully, my wife works in the cultural department, but she doesn’t seem to have that much respect. He could only comfort himself. It was because of his reputation and well-written proposals that he was hired under exception.
Liu Hongmin calmed down, thought about the problems that will arise in the next few years, and enriched his proposal. You must not only raise problems, but also propose solutions, so that you can earn everyone's trust.
At the end of February, he got his representative card, and the staff told him to attend the double conference on time.
