If you stand high enough, you can see far.
For a business tycoon like Lin Tongchun, the business opportunities and prospects he saw after reading these four comics were completely different from those seen by Su Yun, Kobayashi Keiko and others.
Others can at most see the popularity of comics and the rising sales of comic magazines, and at most imagine that they can make more money by adapting them into animations and selling them to TV stations for broadcast.
but……
However, Lin Tongchun saw the potential for many derivative products to become big hits from these four comics.
Not to mention the other three, just the "Pokémon" series, with its hundreds of beautiful and cute Pokémon images, is perfectly suited to the current doll market.
Lin Tongchun had visited Disney in the United States. As the world's largest animation company, it has been able to make huge profits every year since the beginning of this century thanks to animated dolls such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
In fact, Disney does not even need to work hard to open a manufacturing factory by itself. It only needs to license these animated characters to various product factories, such as doll factories, stationery factories, etc. Most of the contracts signed are profit-making contracts, which means that every time these factories sell a product, they make money for Disney.
When Lin Tongchun saw this business model in the United States, he was completely shocked.
This is equivalent to an animated work that is extremely popular and has a wide audience. The animated characters in it will become a wealth code like a money printing machine, making money continuously for decades or even dozens or hundreds of years.
Lin Tongchun himself ran a fabric factory, a doll and toy factory, a department store, etc.
Therefore, he knew too well the actual value behind these four comics.
If he had really read these four comics as soon as he entered the Chuncheng Film Studio, Lin Tongchun would not have dared to guarantee that he could have maintained such a good composure when he was negotiating with Lin Huowang just now.
After all, no matter who it is, it is impossible to remain calm when seeing such a mountain of gold appear in front of you!
only……
The condition Lin Huowang proposed now was not to agree to let him invest and run the comic magazine together, but to let him be the agent.
This made Lin Tongchun very distressed. After pondering for a moment, he took the initiative to ask Lin Huowang:
“Lin Huowang, I have to say that the four comics you planned are of very high quality.
Without even waiting for it to be released, I can guarantee that it will be a huge hit in Japan.
So, I don’t want to be the agent for operating your comic magazine, but I want to invest in it.
I can provide all the start-up capital. I can even lend you another $100,000. How about that? "
Driven by absolute interests, Lin Tongchun changed his position and attitude in a very short time.
Lin Huowang seemed to have anticipated his reaction, but he shook his head and refused, saying with a smile:
"Mr. Lin, I'm very happy that you highly recognize these four comics. However, I still want to stick with the cooperation plan I just proposed. Please think about it carefully!"
"Is there really no room for negotiation? Lin Huowang, you may not know the true value of these four comics. I can tell you in detail about my future plans for these four comics..."
Lin Tongchun instinctively felt that since Lin Huowang came from a rural area in Northeast China, it was impossible for him to know how Disney made money, so he planned to use these subsequent operations and ideas to impress Lin Huowang.
Yes!
The offensive and defensive situations are different.
Su Yun and Kobayashi Keiko were standing by and were a little slow to react.
What on earth happened?
Didn’t Lin Huowang just ask something of Lin Tongchun, and Lin Tongchun acted superior and asked to consider all aspects?
How come now it is Lin Tongchun who is asking Lin Huowang to let him invest?
Lin Huowang seemed to know what Lin Tongchun wanted to say, and said in advance: "Mr. Lin, I know you own a department store and a toy factory. Your agency for our comic magazines does not prevent us from cooperating on intellectual property rights through these comic characters and Pokemon images.
Just like the characters of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse from Disney in the United States, they can earn more extra profits through a large number of derivative products. "
"You actually know how Disney makes money? Unbelievable! Lin Huowang, I thought you didn't know this!"
Lin Tongchun was once again shocked by Lin Huowang's remarks.
After all, for him, before he went to the United States for inspection, he was not clear about the fundamental logic and core values behind Disney's money-making.
Like most ordinary people in the world today, they all thought that Disney was just a company that made animations purely to entertain children.
But Lin Huowang, a rural kid from remote China, actually knew so much and was even able to copy Disney's money-making model to himself.
“Yes! In fact, my original intention in planning the comic book “Pokémon” was to create a comic book that could export a large number of intellectual property products.
As long as the comics become popular, they can be adapted into animations and exported to the world in the form of animations. By then, people all over the world will fall in love with our Pokémon.
Then, our Pokemon images can be printed on all kinds of daily necessities or stationery toys they buy.
There will be a large number of various product manufacturers begging to cooperate with us and help us make money.”
Lin Huowang spoke in a very confident tone, and through his words, it seemed as if he had already led everyone to see a near future in which all kinds of products printed with images of Pikachu and other Pokémon would be placed on the shelves of stores all over the world.
