Global Tycoon: You Call This A Small Achievement?

111. Current Status Of Xiangjiang Comics

After the meeting, everyone made their own arrangements, and He Zhou only left Huang Sheng behind.

"Boss, do you have anything else to tell me?" Huang Sheng asked after hesitation.

"Sit down first." He Zhou led the other party to sit down on the sofa, and asked Tao Hong to serve tea. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Old Huang, do you know anything about the current comics market in Xiangjiang?"

Hearing He Zhou's question, although Huang Sheng was a little confused, he still said: "I think I have some understanding. The current comics market in Xiangjiang is simply difficult to describe!"

"Oh, tell me." He Zhou took a sip of tea and then gently placed the tea cup on the coffee table.

Huang Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "It turns out that the comics market in Xiangjiang is not bad, with considerable profits and very good development prospects. This is both a good thing and a bad thing!"

"Due to the promising market, a large amount of "597" capital poured in, and the comics industry was in a state of collapse. Some short-sighted and shallow people, in order to attract attention and gain profits, have no professional ethics, and pornographic and violent scenes are common."

"Many parents were very angry when they came and went, and even the Hong Kong government felt the heavy pressure of public opinion..."

After his reminder, He Zhou also remembered that a few years ago, the Hong Kong government had promulgated an "Undesirable Publications Law" specifically for this matter. The original excessive freedom no longer existed, and all newspapers and publishing units in Hong Kong All will be investigated.

Among them, comics newspapers and periodicals were the hardest hit. The number of Xiangjiang comics companies that closed down exceeded three digits, and the entire comics market shrank sharply.

"Boss, do you want Oriental Newspaper Company to expand into the comics market?" At the end of the sentence, Huang Sheng also reacted, but between his brows, he didn't seem very optimistic about it.

"I have this idea." He Zhou did not deny it.

In fact, the most important problem in the comic market in Xiangjiang is the issue of supervision. For example, the problem of "if you control it, you will die, if you let it go, it will be chaos", it is not unique to Xiangjiang.

In his memory, this situation was also roughly the same in the era of ultra-high economic growth in the Mainland. As long as a certain industry was good at making money, many 'smart people' would immediately pour in with huge capital, until the entire industry was completely destroyed. The industry is in ruins, leaving nothing but feathers on the ground.

These irrational capitals have neither industry ethics nor the luxury of dreams. Even if the industry fails, they have many ways to get away after making a lot of profits and continue to harm the next industry.

Hearing He Zhou's admission, Huang Sheng couldn't help but said: "This may be difficult. In the current social atmosphere in Hong Kong, parents of children are very repulsive to comics. It is not just vulgar."

This is an example of "if you control it, you will die, if you let it go, it will be chaos."

Nowadays, parents of children in Xiangjiang simply regard comics as a scourge. Whenever they find their children secretly reading comics, they will be furious.

This kind of understanding is probably similar to the way parents find out that their children are Internet addicts at a certain period, and they want to send their children directly to an Internet addiction school to receive electrotherapy.

Not to mention how absurd this kind of thing is, Chinese parents have never failed to consider their children. Although in many cases, their self-righteous love will destroy their children's dreams and leave a mark in their hearts. Deep ugly scars.

"That's a problem." He Zhou scratched his head. Resistance from parents is the biggest obstacle for children to buy comics!

Nowadays, some parents cannot listen to any explanation at all. They are stubborn and blind, and have a negative impression of all comics.

"Then can we do the opposite?" He Zhou touched his chin, thoughtfully, only magic can defeat magic.

Furthermore, if Xiangjiang Comics is allowed to die in this environment, he would really be unwilling to do so.

Apart from having too many violent and violent contents, Xiangjiang comics were generally very prosperous in the past. But now they are too strictly controlled, which is tantamount to strangling or even beating the comics industry to death with a stick.

In the era when Xiangjiang comics still had the power to resist, the comics of the island country were far from sweeping the entire Yazhou. To a certain extent, Xiangjiang gave up this industry.

"It would be better for us to unite the comic book club first, and then proactively call for supervision and take the initiative." Thinking of this, He Zhou became more determined to get involved in the comic industry.

It is useless to evade supervision. It is better to actively embrace supervision in order to save some impression points and change the views of some parents of children...

Moreover, Oriental Newspaper Company also has unique advantages. Whether it is "Oriental Daily" or "Economic Weekly", they are "long-term customers" on the desks of upper-class people from all walks of life.

Parents of children will naturally not be too hostile to comics launched by such a large company.

"In this case, you first go to collect the target [to buy a comic book club." He Zhou immediately ordered.

Huang Sheng heard this and immediately said: "Okay, boss."

He Zhou nodded. It seemed that Lao Huang still understood his position as a tool man.

The news agency's project is so vast that it won't be fruitful for a while, but the hundreds of people in the entire company can't be idle. Sloth is the biggest enemy of mankind.

He Zhou also had some preliminary ideas on how to start a comic business.

All in all, it is a three-step process. The first step is to launch high-quality, positive and healthy comics. The second step is to actively appeal for and embrace supervision after initially gaining a foothold.

Of course, the so-called calling for regulation and embracing regulation is actually a slogan. The real intention behind the scenes is nothing more than to persuade the Hong Kong government to appropriately relax its control over the comics industry.

This is the same reason that big companies clearly pursue monopoly, but always talk about innovation.

After eliminating the wariness of parents of children in Xiangjiang and the restrictions at the policy level, the third step, which is the most important step, is to ‘create a god’.

Similar to online articles, when 0.9 was first born, it was also questioned. However, as great gods emerged one after another, earning millions every month, and even hundreds of millions in royalties every year, the parents of their children seemed to be more tolerant and began to change. Gotta be reasonable.

Even mothers-in-law, although they are not very fond of stinky novel writers, they always dislike the unstable income.

But if you are a master, make millions from a book, and then adapt it into comics, TV series or even movies, then everything will not be a problem.

The same goes for comics. If the parents of their children see that artists can have an infinitely bright future by engaging in the comics industry, even if they want to leave a way out for their children, they will not shout at comics at every turn, but will open their eyes. Close one eye. .
