"He's crazy!"

"It's nonsense, what is his head thinking!"

On the street, the heads of several chain stores left Phoenix in a rage. Many of them came to see the excitement with a high-minded mentality, but they didn't expect Phoenix to say "welcome away" to them mercilessly, and the cartoonist named He Xi didn't take them seriously.

"I'm!"

"It's just a cartoonist, why is it a pity that all the IQ has been eaten by dogs? Without our involvement, would the island still want to develop? What a joke! ”

"I'm going to apply to the headquarters to transfer out of here, that cartoonist's attitude is too bad, there is no possibility of cooperation."

"Me too, leave this hellish place for them to play alone!"

Many stores have the idea of leaving, and Zhang De of Universal Cinema has a slightly better face when he hears the conversation of these people, although his goal has been achieved this time, he is really angry by Meng Yu's words.

"When I go back, I must spread this matter out, so that everyone has to leave here, I'll see how Phoenix Company plays!"

Zhang De glanced back at the building of the Phoenix Company, and secretly shouted in his heart that he deserved it, as soon as today's news came out, the merchants of the entire comic island would know the attitude of the Phoenix Company, and then trigger a wave of leaving. Without their well-known chain stores, even the last attraction of the comic island has disappeared, and Phoenix Company has developed the island, and it is a question of whether it can not lose money.

And in the building, after sending the heads of several chain stores away, Alice returned to Meng Huo's office.

"Meng Shu, how can you say that they are welcome to leave?" She said worriedly, "This is good." Those who were still waiting had to leave. What if they're all gone? ”

"There are few merchants who come this time. It is impossible to affect all people. Meng Shu disagreed: "And the companies that will come to Comic Island to buy real estate are all large companies, since they have set up a branch here, they don't have a year and a half of observation time, and it is impossible to leave lightly." “

These businesses on Cartoon Island are all well-known enterprises in China, and since these companies have started a business in one place, it is unlikely that they will leave after just looking at the benefits of a few months. The reason why Meng Shu said so much is precisely because of this, it is impossible for all the chain stores on Comic Island to leave, no matter how ruthless his words are. No more than two-thirds of the stores will leave at the end.

Meng was ...... You don't mean to let them go, do you? ”

Alice seemed to hear the meaning of Meng Shu's words.

"Well, if you can't cooperate with each other, then of course it's better to drive away some people." Meng replied with a smile, "Chase away some people and take over their facilities." If Manga Island develops smoothly, then we can have an absolute advantage in both culture and commerce, and the remaining businesses will no longer be able to resist us. ”

This is a bit different from Meng Huo's original plan, when he first imagined the comic island, he imagined that the Phoenix Company would dominate the source of comic goods, and then other merchants would cooperate to create a small island where everyone could get benefits. In this scenario, Phoenix is not directly involved in commercial activities. They are the lead and the provider of goods for the comic industry, but they will not be directly to the consumer.

Meng felt that this was a win-win model. Phoenix will be able to maintain its core business and will not have too much financial pressure. But he didn't expect that these businesses on the comic island would not cooperate at all, and if the current situation continues, even if the flow of people on the comic island comes up, other businesses will not allow comics to enter their corporate culture, and eventually the comic island will become an ordinary commercial island.

That's not what he wants to see, what Meng Xu wants is a place full of ACG culture, and if this culture is not cooperated by the company, then it can only be grasped by himself. This time, a group of people were driven out, and if they took over their things, plus the fans who came to start a business, seventy or eighty percent of the area of the comic island would be under the control of Phoenix Corporation.

Phoenix can commercially expand the comics according to its own ideas, and the remaining twenty or thirty percent of the people will not be able to resist this wave, and will eventually compromise with them and seek cooperation.

But there's a big problem here......

"Where did we get so much money and people!!"

Alice saw through Meng Huo's thoughts and said with some bitterness. The main problem faced by Phoenix is money, as long as there is money, it is not difficult to find manpower in the commercial street, but they are still in the painful transition period, and the recruitment and new business redevelopment in the three places are spending money in all aspects. Now I have to buy an animation company and prepare animation, and the money is no longer available.

In this state, how can they rent the site of Manga Island, and how can they keep it open?

"There's no money to make it." "I will first default on the rent for a year, and if I can't default on it, then I will take out loans and financing," Meng said. ”

Comic Island is the property of the Meng family, Meng Huo felt that he should be able to apply for a one-year postponement of the payment of rent, originally these troublesome things were played by them, how should they also take some responsibility! If they refused to default, Meng Yu could also find other ways to pay, but in this way, the relationship between him and the Meng family would be cold.

"It's not a problem that the rent is not expensive, but to control so many shops, we also need a lot of money!" Alice covered her head and said: "This is a lot of money, and now the shops on Comic Island are obviously losing money, if we take it down, we will have to lose more than 100,000 yuan every month to maintain it." ”

Comic Island enjoys tax incentives, but even so, the manpower and material resources required to maintain so many stores are not simple, hundreds of thousands are roughly estimated, and it is difficult for Alice to know the specific number. But one thing she knows very well is that as long as the flow of people on Comic Island does not increase, taking over the Phoenix Company here is equivalent to carrying a black hole of wealth on its back.

"How are we going to get this money?"

She said distressedly.

"If you don't have any money, you can make it, just let go of your hands and feet." Meng Huo's eyes flashed with a light and said, "As long as you use your brains more, games, movies, animation, comics, plus the advantages of the comic island itself...... Think about all the possibilities, and it shouldn't be difficult to make this money in a short period of time. ”

Alice was stunned: "Meng Shu, you ...... Do you want to release other works? ”

She thought about it, if Meng Huo launched other works in a short period of time, it was indeed possible to get a lot of money, but in this case, the subject matter of the work was limited, the comics were drawn quickly but the money-making cycle was long, and the fastest money should be games and animated movies, but both of them needed time to make a ......

"Wait...... Isn't there Pokemon? ”

Alice suddenly remembered the game, which was remade, but Clannad was also released for two months, and during this time, the game production department began to remake Pokemon. Meng is very concerned about this reconstruction, no matter where it is, it will always be checked every few days, and the remake of the game is completely carried out step by step according to his guidance, and she doesn't know what progress is going now.

Could it be that Pokemon is coming out soon?

"Speaking of which, it's not that hard to rebuild......

The more Alice thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, the monster setting of "Pokemon" was completed a long time ago, and remaking it does not mean that every detail has to be remade. Many of the previous achievements can be directly used in the new version, so it doesn't seem strange that even if it is released now.

If that's the case......

"Sister Xi, please help me call Jose and Zhou Qian!"

When Alice was thinking about it, Meng Huo called the secretary and called Jose and Zhou Qian, Alice was even more convinced when she heard it, Meng Huo called Jose, and it was really about "Pokemon"!

However, unexpectedly, after Jose and Zhou Qian arrived, Meng was given other tasks to them.

"Jose, we are about to take over some shops, there are not enough people, you will be responsible for this matter first...... Zhou Qian, in the future, you will be responsible for the company's comic product research and development, and ......"

Meng Shu talked to these two people for half an hour, and the content of what she said made Alice on the side stunned, she was a little confused at first, but later she found that what Meng Shu was talking about was not just a new work, he actually wanted to hold a large-scale reader gathering directly on the comic island to make money, and the details of this event were beyond her and the other two women's imagination.

Meng wanted to do a massive makeover of the manga island, incorporating a lot of things that Alice and the others had never heard of, and then there were many important events - such as announcing the animation of "Detective Conan" on the spot. The game "Pokemon" does not seem to be finished yet, but Meng said that he did not rule out the possibility of a demo version at the event......

There are all sorts of other interesting things, and I don't rule out the possibility of more new works.

Meng Huo put forward a lot of ideas for this event, but he was very conservative about the new work, except for one "Detective Conan" that was confirmed to be animated, the other new works are uncertain. Alice figured out his plan, he wanted to use the activities of the comic island to increase the popularity and traffic of the island, and by the way, make money to reduce the financial pressure.

Such a plan completely subverts Alice's preconceived notions, she has always felt that comic island must be rich before it can slowly develop, but Meng Shu thinks in the opposite direction. He plans to kill two birds with one stone, first use a party to attract people, so as to quickly spread the popularity and reputation of the comic island.

"Will this work?"

Alice was a little worried, but thinking of Ninghai's lively celebration, she felt that with Meng Shu's appeal, she might have a chance to succeed. And if you can grasp the psychology of this group of people, Manga Island will be able to move forward on the right track.

And Meng Huo's idea is very good, the activity he proposed is to attract people and make money, but there are many details of interaction with readers. The new work is a central element of the project, but if the expected number of visitors is found to be up to the target during the planning phase of the event, Meng will not propose a new work, and if the number of people is not enough, he will use more new works to attract readers.
