Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 58 Transformers and Comics

After having breakfast at the hotel, and waiting for about 15 minutes, I saw Xiao Jiade walking over. Xiao Jiade saw Bao Zixuan and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, making Bao Sheng wait for a long time. I won't do it next time."

Bao Zixuan: "It's okay. I just finished breakfast. Let's go there now! You have made an appointment with the other person!"

Xiao Jiade: "Yes, please rest assured, Mr. Bao, everything has been communicated."

In fact, it's no wonder that Xiao Jiade is nervous. Since taking over as the legal counsel of Heiyun Company, his biggest income has been brought to him by Heiyun Company. 70% of his current workload comes from Heiyun Company's business. And he was ready to go it alone, and now he couldn't lose Heiyun, a big customer.

We took Peng Yifei and Jackson-Jones into the car arranged by the hotel. As for Thomas Marr having a drink with Michal last night, he probably wouldn’t be able to get up until noon.

Bao Zixuan had already arranged for Xiao Jiade to purchase the copyright for a cartoon. He was determined to win the copyright, which would bring hundreds of billions of dollars to the market. The place Bao Zixuan is going to now is RB Dome Co., Ltd. The purpose of his trip is to buy out Dome's copyright in 1 War. He wants to learn from Hasbro and bring all the animation and toys to the market. He has even started drawing the prototypes of the toys.

As a bachelor in science and technology in his previous life, Transformers was his favorite work, and he purchased limited editions of each toy. All the parts have been disassembled. He didn't contact Dome before because he didn't have the production capacity, but now that he has the most advanced small CNC machine tools in the world, he can make an acquisition request to Dome.

Now Domei is just a small company. Although it is in 1, it does not have much influence in RB. It may be somewhat famous in the industry, but it does not yet have the production capacity of toys. Xiao Jiade has already been asked to contact the other party's president. He is not opposed to transferring the copyright. After all, it is of no use in his hands.

Domei is located in a relatively remote neighborhood in Tokyo. It currently has less than 100 employees, most of whom are painters engaged in comics and animation production. Looking at the orderly work of the employees despite the small company, Bao Zixuan believes that at least the corporate culture is good. .

In the conference room, Xiao Jiade introduced the two of them respectively. The president of Domei Co., Ltd. is Aso Shiraka. From this name, you will know that his father was only born when he was 48 years old, and he happens to be 48 years old this year.

Aso's forty-eight sons are not very tall, but they are about 170 centimeters. The hair on his head is somewhat bald, he is wearing a black suit, and he is dressed meticulously. Seeing that this young man, who is younger than his own son, is actually the boss of the parent company of two of the best games on the market, it seems that he needs to give his children more exercise. Opportunity.

Aso Forty-eight: "Welcome Baosang to Domei Co., Ltd., your achievements now make those of us who guard the company without development feel ashamed!"

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Aso is a senior in the business world. There are many things that juniors need to learn from. I just thought of a good idea. You must know the purpose of my visit this time. I don't know what kind of effort Heiyun will have to pay." For a price, you can sell me the rights to Autobot Wars."

Aso Forty-Eight didn't expect Bao Zixuan to be an impatient person. It seemed that he couldn't negotiate with him like some old foxes. Said: "It is not impossible to buy the copyright. I hope Heiyun can pay US$2 million. In addition, 10% of the profits from the derivative products of Autobot War will belong to Domei."

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Aso believes that a 1 is worth US$2 million, and there is an additional 10% income. The price is US$500,000. After all, I still want to make money. I have just established a comic studio and am preparing to adapt a few books. Old cartoons, after all, I don’t have as many talents as Domei, I just have to rush to open the market. If I don’t have Autobots, I can still buy Doraemon, and I guess 5 million US dollars is enough. I am rich, but my money It wasn’t brought by the strong wind.”

In fact, why did Bao Zixuan start now? It is because this time is the best opportunity. If you miss it, according to the historical trajectory, you will have to wait until 1 Dome's consecutive cartoons have poor ratings. This is the time when cash is most needed.

Aso Shiba looked at Bao Zixuan's performance and knew that this talented boy was not good at negotiating. Maybe he was just trying to prove himself as he said. Said: "I don't want any additional income for 3 million US dollars. If you pay 3 million US dollars for Autobot War, it has nothing to do with Domei."

This was a sky-high price. US$3 million was almost the value of his entire company, but Bao Zixuan didn't want to waste time with him. He said, "Okay, Lawyer Xiao will prepare the contract." After that, he wrote a check for US$3 million from Kyoto Bank.

Seeing how happy Bao Zixuan is, it turns out that it is better to do business with young people and just decide according to your own preferences. It seems that in the future, you will still have to cooperate with these young and rich bosses. Last time, an old guy came to buy the copyright of his own comics. I'm only willing to pay 1 million yen, so I can play by myself!

When Xiao Jiade heard that Bao Zixuan had agreed, he had no choice but to prepare the contract according to the boss's requirements. In fact, according to Xiao Jiade's idea, he needs to cool the opponent for a while, but now it seems that his role is not very big! In fact, Bao Zixuan was also shocked by the hundreds of billions of products in his previous life. Even if Duomei offered $100 million with dividends, he would take it without hesitation. This may also be the bad side of the time traveler.

After the two parties signed the contract, Aso Forty-eight asked someone to bring out all the manuscripts, comics, and animations about the Autobot War, and then Bao Zixuan handed over the check to the other party. Since then, the Transformers series has officially belonged to Heiyun Company. At the time, Aso thought he had made the best deal in his life, but later he was included in economics textbooks as a negative textbook in numerous universities.

After leaving Duomei Company, Xiao Jiade wanted to say that it was a bit expensive, but seeing Bao Zixuan's happy face did not spoil his mood. Instead, Bao Zixuan said to him: "You did a good job, Lawyer Xiao, thank you for your hard work, but you have to meet someone with me this afternoon."

It was the same coffee shop where I met Miyamoto Hat and Yokoi Junpei last time. The two people were sitting face to face chatting. They mainly talked about their understanding of comics and how they should be produced. That's right, one of these two people is Bao Zixuan, the boss of Heiyun Company, and the other is Hayao Miyazaki, the famous comic master of RB.

Hayao Miyazaki was born at the age of 1 and is a progressive figure in RB. This young man from a wealthy family couldn't stand the many unkind things done by rich people, so he still resolutely gave up the protection given to him by his family and decided to develop himself in the field of comics. Start by influencing children and then influence the world.

Bao Zixuan, who knew what kind of person Hayao Miyazaki was, was very good at chatting, making the two of them feel like good friends for many years.

Hayao Miyazaki: "I didn't expect that many of Baosang's ideas and mine were so consistent. If I had never told anyone about it, I would have thought you had spies around me!"

Bao Zixuan: "This is just my personal opinion. It's nothing. We all want our children to enrich their knowledge and experience from an early age and cultivate their friendly and kind character."

Hayao Miyazaki: "I understand why you are here, but I want to know what treatment I have and how many rights I have in the new comic company."

Bao Zixuan: "You decide your treatment and rights, not me. I completely believe in your strength, and treatment is the best way to reflect your strength."

Hayao Miyazaki: "I hope to own 30% of the shares of Heiyun Comics, and I have the final say. You are not allowed to interfere with the company's operations. To this end, I can invest 10% in cash, and the rest will be invested in technology. The salary is every Monthly tokens cost 1 yen."

Bao Zixuan: "No." Hayao Miyazaki felt a little unhappy when he heard this. Didn't this guy ask himself to impose conditions? Why did you change your mind so quickly! It's a shame that I still treat him as a confidant. But what he said next made him a little embarrassed. Then he added: "You can't pay less than 10 million yen per month, otherwise we won't be able to set the salary standards for other people. In addition, I hope you will complete the comics I arranged as required. This is to cooperate with the entire company You cannot lose touch with the basics of operations. After all, we want to develop large quantities of derivative toys."

"But all the products produced by comics authorized to Heiyun Factory belong to the comics company. After all, I still have a large number of workers to support in Hong Kong. Only in this way can your comics compete with our existing copyrights on a fair basis. There will be no contradiction.”

In this way, the two people held hands together. 20 years later, Hayao Miyazaki was already one of the top 100 richest people in Forbes list, but he still felt that he was a little cheated at that time.
