Faced with one piece of bad news after another, Lin Huowang's eyes turned completely cold. He clearly remembered the "visit" that Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang made to Repulse Bay No. 3 a week ago.
Shangguan Xiaobao, seemingly casually but with the malice of an industry insider, once mentioned, "Mr. Kobayashi Tenwang is incredibly bold. Introducing the latest Heidelberg S74? I heard that Chang Kee at 76 Fuk Wing Street, Sham Shui Po, used to have one, but then...
Tsk tsk, maintenance is a lifesaver. Key parts are out of stock and become like scrap metal. Printing requires local familiarity..."
Lin Huowang had anticipated this a long time ago. They were very arrogant, and their words were very clear: if you don’t cooperate, your precious machine, which is “like scrap metal if the key components are out of stock”, will really become scrap metal.
The first season of "Dragon Jump" had just caused a sensation and its reputation was at its peak.
Piracy is sucking blood crazily in the open, damaging the brand; machine paralysis is cutting off the source of funds in the dark, directly strangling your production capacity and speed of response to the market.
A two-pronged approach aims to deliver a fatal blow to the raging forest fire!
But how could it be possible that the forest fire was raging and there was no preparation or response for this?
"Kobayashi-kun! What do we do now?"
Gao Qiaohao grabbed his hair and turned around in circles anxiously, "The release plan for the second Chinese version of Dragon Jump in Hong Kong is completely messed up!
Our market has just opened up! Pirated products have taken up so much market share, but genuine products can’t be printed!
If readers buy bad books, there will only be more and more complaints!
We became the target of public criticism!
I'm afraid there will be an official inquiry from the Press and Publication Administration soon!
Who is targeting us?
Their move... is too vicious!
This is going to completely destroy the foundation of our Dragon Jump in Hong Kong Island!"
The living room was filled with Gao Qiaohao's despair.
The black tea brought by the servant had already gone cold and solidified at the bottom of the cup.
Lin Huowang didn't look at him...
There is nothing new under the sun.
The nature of the struggle has never changed.
It's just about profit...
However, at this moment, the phone in the living room rang sharply.
Lin Huowang walked over and picked up the receiver.
Kobayashi Keiko's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Lin Huowang, Tokyo has received several faxed inquiries from the Hong Kong Publishing House!
They inquired about the authorized distribution of "Dragon Jump" in Hong Kong Island, and expressed serious concern about the "large number of low-quality infringing imitations with the same signatures as the originals" appearing on the market!
They asked us, as the copyright holder, to provide an explanation and assist in the investigation!
Meanwhile… our second issue of Dragon Jump has already surpassed six million copies in Japan, and the animation is also incredibly popular. My father’s Dragon Plaza is doing exceptionally well…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Huowang closed his eyes slightly.
There's all good news in Tokyo, but here in Hong Kong...
The timing is so accurate!
Piracy attacks, machine paralysis, official inquiries, the enemy is demonstrating wildly...
All the pressures reached their peak in an instant.
Those prying eyes outside were probably waiting to see him collapse, waiting to see this "Japanese devil" leave Hong Kong Island in disgrace.
But when he opened his eyes again, Gao Qiaohao was shocked.
Instead, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Lin Huowang's mouth.
"Xiao Lin-kun?"
Gao Qiaohao felt inexplicably chilled by his abnormal expression.
"snort……"
Lin Huowang snorted softly, "Want to cut off my foundation?
You want to force me to leave? These mad dogs may have bad teeth, but they have big appetites.”
"Gaucho-kun,"
His voice was unusually calm, returning to his usual composure, "Piracy... is truly despicable.
But that also shows that the content value of "Dragon Jump" has been recognized by the reader market in Hong Kong Island, and even pirated copies can't wait to get a piece of the pie.
I had anticipated this. On another level, this is also a good thing!"
"Good news? Mr. Kobayashi! These low-quality pirated products are ruining our reputation!" Gao Qiaohao was anxious.
"reputation?"
Lin Huowang chuckled, his smile tinged with sarcasm, "No matter how big the false bubble is, it will eventually burst.
What is our real weapon?
It's the content! It's Pokémon, Dragon Ball, Fist of the North Star, and Sailor Moon!
These are the real values that can detonate the market!
As long as we grasp the source, hold on to the core of creation, and control the real copyright authorization, no matter how much piracy there is, it will only provide us with free publicity!
The more they sell, the more people will know these characters! Once our official version comes out...
Gao Qiaojun, do you think readers would be more willing to spend a few yuan on a blinding piece of junk, or spend tens or even dozens of yuan on a collectible, exquisite, genuine copy? Or even buy dolls, T-shirts, or models with Pikachu or Goku printed on them? Pirated copies do our market research, reach lower-tier consumers, and cultivate user habits!
Gao Qiaohao was stunned, shocked by this angle he had never thought of.
That seems... kind of reasonable? But what about the machine problem?
"As for that machine..."
Lin Huowang's tone suddenly turned cold, carrying a murderous aura, "It's just a machine, a dead thing!
If it can be broken, it can be repaired, or... you can buy a new one! At most it will cost you a little money and take a little longer! "
He stood up suddenly and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the blue sea of Repulse Bay.
The sunlight shone on his young face, reflecting a depth and determination that was completely inconsistent with his age.
