Chapter 324 Flying to the Beautiful Country

Wang Danfeng angrily broke free from her husband's arms and said:
"What you're saying, they're not together?

Don't you know whether they are together or not?
Will you not have a big belly now?
Now that I have a big belly..."

Wang Danfeng seemed to have thought of something and said:
"If Jin'er is pregnant now, does Yuan Chao have to give an explanation to the child in Jin'er's belly?"

Liu Heqing thought about it and had to say that his wife's idea was very constructive.

"Then you can only talk to Jin'er. I'm the father, so it's not easy for me to say it, right?"

Wang Danfeng said:

"We are studying together now. If you think it's okay, I'll go talk to her. We are both women, so it's easy. As for the issue of going to school, if I take a semester off, all the problems will be solved, right?

As long as we get married and have kids, I won't have to worry about other messy things. They won't be able to worry about them."

Liu Heqing sighed:
"I don't know if it's a good thing for us to help Jin'er advance her marriage. I feel that Yuan Chao can't do the same to you as I do."

Wang Danfeng glanced at her husband and said:
"Come on, you need to have the ability to aid Korea, hehe. You were also a playboy on the beach in Shanghai, right?"

Liu Heqing said:

"What year is this? Why are you still talking to me about this?"

Wang Danfeng grabbed her husband's hand and said:

"A man like you is a treasure, and I, Wang Danfeng, am lucky to have him.

Even though I made such a big mistake in the mainland, you stayed with me and never left me. You gave up your family business and came to Hong Kong for me.

I don't dare to expect my daughters to have the same good luck as I do. If they look for husbands according to your standards, they will have a very difficult time in the future.

We all know what kind of person Yuan Chao is. He is good in every way except that he is too romantic.

Jin'er and he have come to this point today, there is no turning back, and Jin'er herself certainly doesn't want to do that."

Wang Yuanchao often doesn’t go home. We all live in the same neighborhood, so who doesn’t know this?

But everyone understood it tacitly and no one asked any further questions.

How to ask further questions?

Even Liu Qijin himself didn’t ask!
Liu Heqing also felt that his wife's words were sincere and heartfelt, and said emotionally:

"Back then I was just a rich kid, and there were so many tycoons in Shanghai, but you chose me to spend the rest of your life with. How could I not treat you well?

Having said that, when Jin'er and Yuanchao met, it was Yuanchao who helped us a lot.

"

Wang Danfeng leaned against her husband and said:
"Yes, so, the two of us are doing our best to help Yuan Chao run the company, just to increase Jin Er's weight in his mind."

But who would have thought that Wang Yuanchao's industrial empire would expand so rapidly and so hugely?
Wang Danfeng added:
"Tell me, do you want to let Yu'er..."

Liu Heqing interrupted:

"What are you talking about? It's a new era now..."

Then Liu Heqing's words faded again. Hong Kong was still governed by the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Those tycoons had several concubines. Even the editor-in-chief of their newspaper, Cao Wannian, had a second wife.

There were even people who were unaware of the situation and wanted to help him find a second wife. They felt that since the Liu family had such a huge fortune but didn't even have a son, would it all be given to the son-in-law?

The couple fell silent.
-
Wang Yuanchao did not choose the westward route, which would be from Hong Kong - Bangkok - Mumbai - Bahrain - Cairo - Rome - London - New York. It would pass through Bahrain and Cairo, and the Middle East could launch missiles at any time, which was too dangerous.

To be honest, he is not afraid of the plane crashing into the sea, but if a missile comes, his golden finger will not be able to save his life.

So he chose to head east, Hong Kong-Tokyo-Honolulu-Los Angeles-Rhode Island.

He was not familiar with the United States, so naturally he did not stop in Los Angeles. He crossed the United States directly to New York and headed to Hasbro's headquarters in Rhode Island.

Hasbro's vice president of marketing, Del DePriest, even went to the airport to greet him in person.

The Hasbro staff were quick to help Wang Yuanchao carry the suitcase.

The two of them gave each other a big hug.

"Oh, my friend, I miss you so much!"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"I can't help it. Your orders really don't allow me to spare the time."

DePriest laughed:
"Let's go, get in the car and talk."

After getting in the car, DePriest first said:
"I'll take you to the hotel first to settle in and adjust to the jet lag."

Then I couldn’t wait to share:
"Our Joe's sales have reached 78% of Barbie's. We are confident that we will surpass Mattel within two years!"

Today's Joe is healthy and stays away from war. There are so many boys who are not suitable for playing with Barbie. Why can't Joe's sales increase?
In Blizzard's garment workshop, the sewing machines are so hot that they are smoking.

After all, a Joe can change into many sets of clothes, and changing a set of clothes means changing a career.

In another time and space, people might not be willing to buy clothes for themselves, but buying skins for game heroes is a great deal.

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Congratulations! This is all due to you!"

When they arrived at the hotel, DePriest saw that Wang Yuanchao was in good spirits, so he invited him to have a couple of drinks in the hotel.

Wang Yuanchao asked:
"How's your animation about Joe going?" DePriest shook his head.

"That's exactly why I invited you over here."

It turns out that besides Disney, the only other animated film studio in the United States is Warner Bros.

There is no need to say much about Disney. Warner Bros.’ representative work is "Bugs Bunny". However, Warner still cannot compete with Disney.

In 62, Warner closed its animation department.

After Walt Disney (founder) passed away in 66, animation in the United States fell into a trough.

DePriest clearly remembered that the cartoons were very exciting when he was a child, so he approved of Wang Yuanchao's plan from the bottom of his heart! But when he came back and arranged for someone to understand it, he discovered this situation.

Disney has its own toy business, so how could it possibly help Hasbro, one of its competitors, to produce a themed animation about Joe?

Looking for a small animation production company? It always feels unreliable, right?
The cost, efficiency, and results are all very different.

DePriest was also a little hesitant, not knowing whether to continue promoting the animation.

After all, with Joe’s sales soaring, the returns he received were actually quite good enough.

However, he boasted to the president at the beginning that he would surpass Mattel! Seeing his confident look, the president naturally boasted to the board of directors confidently.

Who knew that after investigating they found out that the animation market was not doing well?

As for the decline of animation, considering that DePriest's strategy was very good, Hasbro's performance was rising, so the board of directors and the president agreed with his idea, and the decline was a good time to buy at the bottom! If you think small animation production companies are unreliable, Hasbro can build its own!

Animation costs are high, but Hasbro has money!
Especially Disney’s toys and amusement parks are obvious examples!
Everyone thinks that DePriest is capable of doing it!

He was even offered a high bonus!

And all of it was spent on the company's marketing expenses, which showed that DePriest had a sharp vision and was very strategic, and the failure was at most a misjudgment.

DePriest was a little entangled. If he succeeded, the bonus would be very generous, but he was not professional enough in this area. Everyone knew their own business, and everyone's confidence came from him, but his confidence came from the plan given by Wang Yuanchao!

So for the sake of his own financial prospects, he invited Wang Yuanchao over.

He just hopes that this person can help him analyze in detail whether the cartoon advertising business can be done and how to do it.

If he can't do it, he will find a reason to cancel it. There are many ways to advertise. There is no need to dwell on something you are not good at or optimistic about, just like the United States was deeply involved in the Vietnam War.

The cost of cartoons is much higher than that of ordinary advertisements!

If he could do it, he would also be envious of the bonus offered by the board of directors.

DePriest was so frank that Wang Yuanchao didn't dare to make any guarantees. After all, it was different in different eras, and some methods might not necessarily work.

Wang Yuanchao was thinking hard, and Depriest was waiting quietly.

Road:
"Have you ever analyzed the programs broadcast by major TV stations?"

DePriest was stunned. What? Aren’t you making cartoons? Why are you analyzing other programs?

DePriest shook his head and said:

“I haven’t paid attention to this, but we always choose prime time for advertising.

I will arrange for someone to do some research to see how the other programs of various TV stations perform, especially cartoons.

My friend, you may not know that even the famous DC Comics is looking for a buyer now, so you can’t blame me for not being able to see the future of the animation business clearly.”

Wang Yuanchao's eyes lit up and he said:
"DC? Superman? Batman? Wonder Woman?"

DePriest exclaimed:

"Yes.

Since we couldn't find a large animation production company, we went to look for a small one.

In fact, it’s not small. FILMATION, which produced Superman, is currently airing the third season!

I originally wanted to cooperate with them, but after a deeper understanding, I found out that DC has been looking for a new partner and can no longer hold on.

Their Superman cartoon is still playing, eh."

Wang Yuanchao felt that DePriest's thinking was not rigid, but rather flexible, so he asked carefully:
"Do they make toys, too?"

DePriest hissed:
“Their scale is definitely not as big as ours. It should be said that they mainly sell cartoons!
hiss--

They're supposed to sell toys, right?
They shouldn't expect to make money by selling cartoons to TV stations!
I watched the Superman cartoon when I was a kid, and even now, many kids are still watching the Superman cartoon. Ah - we can definitely buy DC and sell toys, right? "

This is a big deal for DC. Even Wang Yuanchao is tempted. It’s Superman!

"How much are they selling for?"

De Priest didn't think much about it and said:
"It's not expensive, about five million."

Oh, the unit is US dollars.

Wang Yuanchao brought over one million US dollars that he had saved, but it was not enough to ask. Anyway, IP was not valuable these days, so he could wait.
