"Dong Ding?"

In the evening, when Xu Jing and his family told him about it, Alice showed a look of surprise: "He actually came back?" ”

Of course she knows Dong Ding, he is the former person in charge of Longteng Novel, to put it more clearly, Dong Ding is still the founder of Longteng, and he alone has controlled the fate of Longteng Company for thirty years. The vision is very powerful, he was the first to propose the concept of comics a long time ago, and Xu Jing was the first to establish Phoenix Company after receiving this information.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Dong Ding the origin of Chinese comics.

"Yes, do you remember the scene when I founded Phoenix?" Xu Jing nodded, and then sighed: "At the beginning, people all over the world never thought that those comic-book things could develop into a separate industry, but Dong Ding saw it...... He used comics as a tool to maximize the value of novels, and also established Longteng comics early, and no one believed him at that time, only I ......"

"Only Dad, you believe it." Alice smiled, it was still when she was in school, she remembered very well that after Xu Jing had a certain amount of capital, the first direction she chose to start a business was comics - and at that time, comics were still unpopular.

"Yes, only I believe Dong Ding's words." Xu Jing nodded, a trace of emotion flashed on his face, and said: "Dong Ding and I are of the same generation, and he was known as a business genius when he was young, so I believe in his vision...... Looking back now, I see that I chose the right path at the beginning. ”

Xu Jing was very glad that he had seized the opportunity at the beginning, if it were not for Dong Ding, he would not have the phoenix he is today.

However, Phoenix's success is not only because of Dong Ding. The bigger factor is Phoenix's strategy and the emergence of cartoonists. Dong Ding came up with the concept of comics. But he also confined comics to death - Longteng's comics were in the service of fiction.

The past was a difficult time for the development of comics. Because Longteng limited the definition of comics to the copyright adaptation of novels, only it held the copyrights and resources of many novels, and other comic companies were basically dead. Phoenix Company took the lead in proposing the concept of original comics, which allowed it to survive and ushered in the greatest opportunity.

Therefore, although Xu Jing admired Dong Ding, he couldn't thank him, and even respected and hated this person.

"Business genius, he's not very good." In the living room, the Spring Festival Gala is playing on the LCD TV. Alice asked the nanny to pour Xu Jing a cup of tea and said: "Although the concept of comics was proposed by Dong Ding, he only saw the benefits of adapting the novel, which is different from the current market." ”

"You'd be wrong." Xu Jing shook his head: "Do you think Dong Ding can't see the original comics?" No...... On the contrary, I believe that Dong Ding was the first person to realize the potential of original comics, and the reason why he did not do it was only because of the limited time and the status quo. ”

In fact, looking back, Long Teng's strategy of leaning towards novels and comics is not wrong at all. Before the advent of cartoonists, the conditions for the rise of original comics were not yet ripe.

At that time, there were no such genius cartoonists, and even the total number of cartoonists was relatively small. Therefore, at that time, the development of originality was purely a steal, and Longteng's strategy was to cultivate the comic market with novel adaptations first. That's right, it's not wrong at all, because it's a good place to be the number one manga publisher.

Alice...... Phoenix's success is because of Meng Huo's kid. Xu Jing said with a smile: "If it weren't for him, the current comic industry would belong to the Longteng family." Their conditions are the most attractive to talent, and even if a talented original cartoonist appears, most of them will enter their company. ”

"In addition, cartoonists from Yenching University have graduated one after another...... Without Meng Huo, Longteng Company will be able to firmly grasp the trend of comic development, they have the largest group of cartoonists, and the transformation of original comics will only be an internal matter, and will not be interfered with by outsiders. ”

However, what no one expected was that the world would suddenly run out of a cartoonist.

Thinking of this, Xu Jing couldn't help but want to laugh, what a pity to change the future of the comic industry, and ruin the undefeated prospects that Dong Ding single-handedly created for Long Teng before his resignation.

But Alice still doesn't believe that Dong Ding can see the potential of original comics: "Is he really so powerful? You can't make it up, right? ”

"I didn't make it up, Dong Ding is much more powerful than you think......" Xu Jing picked up the tea, took a sip slowly, and then continued: "I still know an inside story, even behind the establishment of Zhongxia Company, in fact, Dong Ding is secretly mentioning it." ”

"Ahh Alice was taken aback: "What's going on?" ”

"After the establishment of Zhongxia Company, the Longteng Comics Department was merged immediately, do you think it's normal for no one to nod?"

Xu Jing frowned and said, "Actually, the establishment of Zhongxia Company was originally a few years later, and Li Xin's first batch of comic graduates should have been handed over to Longteng Comics...... However, because of the sudden appearance, Dong Ding found that Longteng Comics had no development prospects, so he persuaded those giants to accelerate the establishment of Zhongxia, so that it would appear in the comic industry with the fastest and strongest attitude. ”

When Zhongxia first appeared, it was simply invincible, and everyone thought it was invincible - but in the end, Zhongxia still didn't defeat Phoenix, which was funny, and Dong Ding's strategy was interrupted by what a pity.

"Are you saying that the establishment of Zhongxia Company was facilitated by Dong Ding? I said Dad...... You think too highly of him, too. Alice was a little ridiculous: "I don't know much about Dong Ding, but I've heard some rumors about him, he is also self-made, and he was not born a rich child...... How could he convince so many investors? ”

She obviously didn't believe that Dong Ding was so powerful, but Xu Jing also seemed to be interested, and he smiled: "You think he is very ordinary? It's true that he was born badly, but I'll tell you one thing, you answer me first, why do you think Long Teng was able to become the overlord of the novel world? ”

"That's not simple, there are a lot of financial giants behind it!" Alice replied, and then suddenly froze, she realized that there was a contradiction in her words. Odd...... If Dong Ding is just a child born in an ordinary family, then how can he become the founder of Longteng Company, which the financial giants invested?

Alice's words after Xu Jing surprised Alice even more, and he said: "Alice, Longteng Company was just an ordinary enterprise at the beginning, and it didn't have a few investors involved. ”

"Ahh Alice was surprised: "How is this possible! ”

"It's true......" At this time, her mother, who was sitting on the side, answered: "I know this matter, Long Teng was just an ordinary company in the first few years of its founding, in the past in the golden age of the development of novels, the competition of publishing companies was very large, many investors saw the future potential of novels, and there are several companies with strong capital in Huaxia, and Long Teng is not outstanding at all." ”

"But now, the Longteng family is dominant."

Xu Jing sneered and added, "This is the terrible thing about Dong Ding...... He pitched the company he founded and entered the eyes of the capital giants, with his eloquence, performance ability, and far-sighted vision...... Dong Ding made the ordinary dragon become the sweetheart of the capital giant crocodile. ”

"In the following ten years, Longteng absorbed investment again and again, grew from small to large, and grew rapidly, and then crushed and embezzled all competitors who were stronger than it in the hands of Dong Ding, monopolizing nearly 90% of China's writers and novel resources."

Xu Jing drank the tea in the cup, and a trace of awe flashed in his eyes: "When Dong Ding was thirty years old, he used one reason to persuade investors from the beginning, and that reason was that only he could become the overlord of the Chinese novel industry...... He did it, how many people in this world can do his kind of self-confidence? ”

Alice's mouth is a little dry.

Unexpectedly, she didn't expect that there would be such a story at all. And after listening to this passage, Alice immediately understood the purpose of Dong Ding's appointment as the new president of Zhongxia - he wanted to repeat the glory of the novel industry in the comic industry, lead Zhongxia to defeat Phoenix, and let Zhongxia Company monopolize the comic industry.

Dong Ding had ambition and ability when he was young, and now he has capital and connections, which is really terrifying!

"So what to do, Zhongxia Company originally had a few more advantages than us." Alice became a little nervous: "Now that there is another Dong Ding in power, then from next year, won't our company encounter the most terrible obstacles?" ”

Xu Jing was silent, he had decades of awe of Dong Ding in his heart, and he still believes that when it comes to the ability to do business, Dong Ding alone surpasses him and Meng Huo, plus Dong Ding's experience, connections and other advantages, in any industry, Phoenix Company will not have the strength to compete with Zhongxia Company.

However, the two companies are not completely in business, but are embellishing business with commercial packaging culture and culture......

"Don't worry, our company hasn't lost yet." Xu Jing smiled slightly: "I can't compare to Dong Ding, but you have to believe in Meng Huo's ability to create a miracle...... Although Dong Ding is powerful, Meng Huo's kid has already inadvertently sabotaged his plan twice! Meng Shu is the most capable young man I have ever seen, Dong Ding was far inferior to him when he was young, the two of them competed face-to-face, and it was really uncertain who would win and who would lose. ”

"Say it again!" Xu Jing paused, and finally said: "Meng Huo's kid is still a cartoonist, and he has an advantage that Dong Ding can't match in the comics industry, that is, the advantages of works and fans we are talking about, which must make Dong Ding feel very tricky......

Alice breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said that the most important thing for the comic company is the comic works: "Then I have to inform Meng Shu of this matter." ”

"Today is the Chinese New Year, don't bother that kid......" Xu Jing hurriedly stopped her, and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you more anxious than me!" (To be continued......)
