Chapter 518 Hello, Mr. Tao!(1/3)

The hot sales of "Manga King" is good news for Yulang Organization, but this is not the only good news for Yulang Organization recently.

In February, Yulang Agency launched a new comic book "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

With its fresh and beautiful painting style, humorous character settings and grand world view, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" helped "Yulang Comics" weekly sales easily exceed 130,000 copies, breaking its own sales record.

After that, for two consecutive weeks, sales of "Yulang Comics", a serialized version of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", continued to rise.

Exceeded 150,000 copies.

The success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is largely due to its ability to capture a wider potential audience.

Hong Kong comics have developed rapidly since the 1970s, such as "Bruce Lee", "Dragon Tiger Gate", "Drunken Master" and "Heroes of China"

A series of works with violent styles and explosive male hormones have become popular.

While these works opened up territory for Hong Kong comics, they also invisibly limited the aesthetics of Hong Kong comics, locking the audience to the young male group of 10^25 years old.

Yulang Institution's current highest-selling product is "Heroes of China" by Ma Rongcheng. The single volume sales are about 220,000 copies. This group is behind this sales volume.

The biggest difference between "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and Yulang Agency's previous works is that it not only has the kind of wild imagination that men love, but also has delicate, touching and soul-stirring emotions.

It is an exaggeration to say that it is suitable for all ages, but killing both boys and girls is not a problem.

The popularity of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" not only eclipses the popular new work "Legend of the Emperor" a year ago, but also

And it’s also a record.

Before it, the emergence of any comic under the Yulang Agency could increase the sales of "Yulang Comics" to such an exaggerated level.

Therefore, Yulang Organization couldn't wait to release the single volume of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in March. Within one month of its release, the sales volume of the single volume easily exceeded 270,000 copies.

As a comic that has just been published not long ago, the sales volume it achieved is enough to prove the excellence of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and it also proves that the strategy of Yulang Agency is completely correct.

Of course, opening up a new track does not mean that Yulang Organization has given up on the old track.

In the past March, Yulang Organization announced the launch of the "Great Cartoonist" project and invited cartoonists and comic lovers from Chinese-speaking countries and regions to contribute.

If the submitted work is successfully shortlisted for the "Great Cartoonist" program, the cartoonist will receive a Hong Kong dollar contract from Yulang Organization and become the company's exclusive contracted cartoonist.

In addition to the "Great Cartoonist" project, Yulang Organization also released its annual report in March.

Although the local comics business saw sales fluctuations in the second half of last year, the overall revenue of the local area still increased by 3%. In a market where Yulang Organization has a near-monopoly, it is not easy to achieve such growth.

This number cannot be said to be surprising, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

What really surprised the capital market about Yulang Institution was the strong growth of its out-of-town comic business reported in its financial report.

Last year, the sales volume of Yulang Agency's comic business increased by more than 10% in countries and regions such as New Zealand, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the Gulf, and there was also slight growth in Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada and other countries.

It contributed nearly HK$200 million in revenue and a net profit of HK$32 million to the company, accounting for 2/5 of Yulang Institution’s annual profit.

The comics are selling well overseas, which means that Yulang Organization still has huge development potential, and the capital market is naturally willing to pursue it.

On the day the annual report was released, the stock price of Yulang Institution rose in response, with a cumulative increase of more than 19% for three consecutive days, helping the market value easily exceed the 2.2 billion mark. This figure has exceeded the market value of Yulang Institution before the stock market crash.

A few days later, Tao Yumo returned from the mainland, feeling a little depressed.

Many classmates attended Zha Haisheng's funeral. Everyone talked about their experiences in school and remembered their friends, which was inevitably sentimental.

After Tao Yumo came back, he took a nap first, then found Tao Yushu and said solemnly: "Sister, I want to do something in my career!"

Dongdong and Yanyan were grabbing her thighs and clamoring to play with their aunt. The scene was somewhat funny.

But it was rare for Tao Yushu to see his sister so serious, so he asked: "Then what do you want to do?"

Tao Yumo was stimulated by the death of Zha Haisheng. In recent days, he has been reflecting on his life over the past few years and feels that he really does not want to make progress.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

She was stumped by Tao Yushu's question, and the two younger ones came to pester her again, which made her upset, so she pushed the two younger ones away.

Dongdong is already six years old, and luckily, Yan Yan is at the age where she starts crying when she disagrees with her. When her aunt ignored her, she immediately opened the floodgates and turned on the water.

"Ming Ming——My aunt doesn't like Yan Yan anymore, Ming Ming——"

Tao Yumo picked her up helplessly, "If you cry again, I'll let you and your mother go!"

Yan Yan was so frightened that she immediately stopped crying, then she hugged Tao Yumo's neck and shouted sweetly: "Auntie"

Tao Yumo patted her butt, then remembered his ambition just now, and looked at his sister with firm eyes.

Tao Yushu knew that she was in a passionate state at the moment and asked: "Then I can arrange a position for you in the company?"

Tao Yumo was a little hesitant. It was okay for her to watch a movie, but filming a movie was too troublesome. As for going to Yulang Agency, she had a headache just thinking about those cartoons full of muscles.

"I'll think about it again!"

Tao Yushu said: "Okay, then think about it first!"

Tao Yumo nodded heavily with a serious face. If he didn't hold a cute Yan Yan in his arms, this picture would be harmonious.

After talking about business, Tao Yumo was pestered by the two children to play games again, thinking about the grand blueprint for the future.

Tao Yushu and Lin Chaoyang gathered together to study her, "What do you think she can do?"

"Find something related to your hobby."

"What is her hobby?"

"Looking after the kids?"

"Be more serious."

"Then, play?"

"Can playing become a career?"

"Game!"

"Hmm!" Tao Yushu pondered after listening to Lin Chaoyang's words. She felt that what Lin Chaoyang said made sense.

It has been six years since Tao Yumo graduated, but his mental state is still the same as that of a college student in school, and he doesn't look like a thirty-year-old at all.

Her biggest hobby in the past few years has been playing games, and she enjoys it endlessly. Whenever she has free time, she will play endlessly.

And strange to say, she played games so much that she sometimes didn't even eat. She was hungry and full, but she was healthier than anyone else. She hadn't had a cold or fever in several years.

"Let's see how she chooses!" Tao Yushu said.

Early the next morning, while Lin Chaoyang and his wife were having dinner, Tao Yumo walked out of the bedroom with dark circles under his eyes.

"Sister, I want to make a game!"

Tao Yushu and Lin Chaoyang looked at each other and really let you talk.

She did not agree to her sister immediately, but asked: "Do you know how to play games?

D

"I don't know how to make games, but I know how to play games!"

"So far away!"

Tao Yushu made a ruthless comment, which immediately aroused Tao Yumo's indignation.

"Don't look down on others! I'm definitely no worse at playing games than you are at doing business."

"Who can't tell lies? I invested real money in you, what should I do if I lose money?"

"I use my own."

"Are you rich?"

Tao Yushu's eyes were a little suspicious. Tao Yumo immediately became proud, raised his neck and shook his head, not bothering to answer his sister's question.

"How much money is there?" Tao Yushu asked.

Tao Yumo is a little money-crazy. She has never disclosed how much money she has to her family.

"800,000!"

Tao Yushu was slightly surprised when she heard this figure. The money was enough to buy a house in Xiangjiang. She didn't expect that her sister would praise so much money without saying a word.

But it makes sense when you think about it. Tao Yumo currently receives 10,000 yuan a month from the company, and Tao Yushu and his wife will give her some pocket money from time to time.

She usually eats and drinks at home, and goes shopping with Maggie Cheung. Maggie Cheung buys clothes, cosmetics, shoes and bags.

All she buys are game cartridges. How much can she spend?

Feeling that things were a little out of control, Tao Yushu put on a dismissive attitude, "What can you do with this little money?"

"My brother-in-law also said he would give me 10 million!"

"That's a house I bought for you. Your brother-in-law said you can't discount it for cash."

"I want 5 million, no, just 2 million."

Tao Yushu glanced at Lin Chaoyang, and Lin Chaoyang immediately said knowingly: "No, buying a house is buying a house. You can't discount it in cash, nor can you give it a discount."

Tao Yumo opened his mouth angrily, and a bit of sadness and anger arose in his heart that "people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads."

That look was exactly the same as when Yan Yan was pouting and angry because Tao Yushu didn't allow her to eat sweets.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Tao Yushu felt that it was almost time.
