Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Chapter 396 Subconscious Action

Ran Qiuye's affairs went smoothly. She listened to Xu Damao's words and most things were done according to the procedures.

Xu Damao never transferred the profits from Businessman Huang.

At first, I was afraid that a certain company would have some thoughts because of the money.

This can be said that Xu Damao used the heart of a villain to save the heart of a gentleman. But there was nothing Xu Damao could do.

After all, Xu Damao's magazine company and Xu Damao's private Western comics company are still the same marketing team in recent times.

The so-called benefits move people's hearts, but Xu Damao is afraid that the profits will come back and make some people think differently.

So Xu Damao opened an account there and asked Businessman Huang to directly transfer all the income belonging to Ximan Club into it every month.

And Ran Qiuye used this income for this work.

It’s not too weird to invest in Xiaozi now. America and Xiaozi are still in the honeymoon period. Just like raising pigs, now is the time to fatten Xiaozi.

So for this investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, no one really paid attention to it in the market.

But when it comes to the company specifically, with the investment of America, just as Comrade Xiao Wen thought, the treatment of Xu Damao's company was different in his small life, especially since Xu Damao also authorized all the copyrights of several characters from Ximanshe Over there in my childhood.

Although it is not popular and probably no one has seen it yet, the surrounding market is very good.

I can only say that foreign monks are good at chanting sutras, especially that monk came from my father’s house when I was a child.

This has resulted in two strange phenomena. One is that the works of Western Comics are tepid in America. Sales are increasing every month, but the increase every month is not large.

This is due to the channels and marketing issues of Merchant Huang. Merchant Huang did not take advantage of the negotiations with Xu Damao, so he did not invest particularly large promotional resources in the works of Ximan Comics.

Specifically, Xu Damao's works are still being spread based on the quality of the works themselves.

Currently, Western Comics’ Wolverine and Magic Academy are still niche markets in America.

The praise rate is quite high, but the market penetration rate is not very good. This also affects the two's surrounding markets in America.

But when it comes to Xiaoli, just because of the title of Western Technology and Western Magic, it is so popular.

This kind of weird thing can only be said to be due to the lack of confidence in the culture of Xiaozhi.

Of course, after the reform, there will be a lot of ugliness here.

Things that are obviously tepid and niche in Western society, but when it comes to us, they are promoted to the sky.

But Xu Damao couldn't think that deeply. Xu Damao knew that he was really making money now.

With over a million dollars, this thing made Xu Damao extremely excited.

Xu Damao is not a person with great ideals. He has come step by step to where he is today. It can be said that he was forced to do so. If it weren't for the big changes in Sijiu City, Xu Damao might never come out in this life.

If it weren't for the fact that the Hong Kong market is so big now, and Xu Damao needs more resources to keep his current position so that he can protect the people he wants to protect, Xu Damao wouldn't think about going to America and living a small life.

To put it bluntly, Xu Damao has a temperament that makes him happy when he is rich.

On the day Ran Qiuye's parents arrived in Hong Kong, Xu Damao sent the news to Ran Qiuye via telegram.

This thing is about changing people's hearts. It's not like Ran Qiuye doesn't know the efficiency of working in Sijiu City now. Counting the days, it turned out that Xu Damao was already working on this matter before he mentioned it to her.

So one can imagine how deeply moved I feel.

Ran Qiuye's original mission to America was to set up a shell company as Xu Damao's agent.

Ran Qiuye originally thought that way, but in order to thank Xu Damao, Ran Qiuye used her connections in America to turn the shell company into a real entity.

Speaking of this, Xu Damao really wants to thank Ran Qiuye. If it weren't for Ran Qiuye's grandfather's family's influence in America's legal and business affairs, it would not be so easy for Xu Damao to do these things.

The development of Xu Damao's company in his small days is also related to Ran Qiuye's gameplay.

The specific gameplay is that Ran Qiuye registered a company in America for Xu Damao, and the company invested in Xu Damao's company in Xiaori. Xu Damao's company in Xiaori suddenly exploded in Xiaori because of exporting America. .

To put it another way, this thing is exporting to domestic sales.

The automobile companies of later generations exported a few cars to Western countries for scrapping, and then used our own homes to hype that their cars were popular in a certain country, which is a similar method.

For example, when I was young, the output value there was 9999, and the export value to America was . Then I just focused on that one and hyped it up. In fact, it was just to sell the remaining , that's all.

The peripheral products of Xu Damao's Western Comics works can open up the market in the early days, which is closely related to the one-stop market share.

This gameplay allowed Xu Damao to really make money.

Not only did Xu Damao make money, but a certain company was also happy. Xu Damao owns Ximan Comics, but Fatty Lan and the Autobots are joint ventures.

The only dissatisfaction of a certain company is that all the production capacity of comic peripherals has been retained in Xiaozhi, and has not been transferred back to our mainland.

When the person in charge of a certain company came to talk to Xu Damao, Xu Damao smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, this matter cannot be urgent. We have nothing to do with Xiaoli now. Even if we want to transfer production capacity back to the mainland, we need turnover, and all tariffs are calculated. There is absolutely no market there.

Furthermore, since we are doing business, we must also be concerned about the mood of the place.

We can't just make money from them and leave them no benefits at all. That way we won't be able to develop! "

Xu Damao said this because of his self-protection in his childhood.

As mentioned before, Xiaozhi and Kimchi are the most disgusting in this regard.

In fact, even if Xu Damao sets up a company in Hong Kong Island and places orders in the mainland, it is still more cost-effective to pay taxes once on Hong Kong Island and then pay taxes again when exporting to Xiaori than to find local manufacturers in Xiaori.

But whether the market recognizes it or not is another matter.

Even in the future, let me tell you the simplest thing. Watermelon, how much does it cost per pound here, is thin-skinned, juicy and sweet, but in childhood and kimchi country, it is almost impossible to see it in the market.

Why? Local protection!

People buy watermelons based on slices, which can be seen through, and the varieties are still the thick-skinned, non-sweet ones we had decades ago.

It's okay for a certain company not to understand, after all, they are not mainly engaged in foreign trade.

But if Xu Damao didn't understand this and acted randomly, he would be asking for death.

Xu Damao knew that at least in the past ten years, this matter could not be done.

How long will it take?

We have to wait until the small-scale industry is refined and the industry is transferred before we can do this openly.

At that time, that is, after we changed the policy.

Everything depends on the right time and place. When the two are not suitable, even if the product you are developing is a cross-generation product, if you can't get in, you won't get in. But Xu Damao couldn't tell the person in charge of a certain company like that, he had to give people hope. If you don't give him any hope, why should he protect Xu Damao?
When Ran Qiuye returned to Hong Kong Island, his image was different again.

I went to America and met her maternal family, who naturally not only helped her with her career, but also gave her various things in life.

In addition, now that her parents are back, Ran Qiuye has finally put her mind at ease. Now Ran Qiuye is in a happy and sweet mood.

The look he looked at Xu Damao was so intense that it scared Xu Damao.

Seeing his silly daughter-in-law Yuyu holding Ran Qiuye in her arms and giggling as to how America was different from Hong Kong Island, Yuyu was happy that his best friend had returned safely.

Ran Qiuye's eyes were fixed on Xu Damao and never moved away.

Xu Damao really wanted to knock Yu Yu on the head, this silly girl, she regarded Ran Qiuye as her best friend, but Ran Qiuye was thinking about her man.

Ran Qiuye's feelings for Xu Damao include gratitude to Xu Damao for sending her parents out, and appreciation for outstanding men.

Xu Damao thought that Ximanshe's works were niche in America and were not popular, and he felt that they had ruined these two works.

That's what Xu Damao thought.

But in Ran Qiuye's view, Xu Damao was a very mysterious person. He had lived in Forty-Nine City since he was a child, and he came out two years earlier than her. Not to mention his achievements in Hong Kong Island.

Also in his childhood, Ran Qiuye was amazed by his business achievements in America.

There are so many people who draw comics in the world, but not one of them can achieve this kind of success silently.

Xu Damao always compares the later achievements of several works with his own now, but frankly speaking, Xu Damao is really outstanding in the eyes of others.

The key is that every work he designs has its own market.

Beauty loves heroes, so it is understandable that Ran Qiuye admires Xu Damao.

This is just like in later generations, when a richest man earns a small goal, we will think this is normal.

But if someone around us, who was having lunch with us some time ago, suddenly says that he has earned 100 million.

The feeling of surprise was almost the same as Ran Qiuye's.

Today is Xu Damao's reception for Ran Qiuye. Not only Ran Qiuye, but also her parents were invited to Xu Damao's villa in Repulse Bay.

Ran Qiuye has been here several times. When she brought her parents here, it was like entering her own home. Instead, she entertained her parents on Xu Damao's behalf.

This made Ran Qiuye's parents look incomprehensible. Ran Qiuye's parents looked at each other with worries in their eyes.

In their eyes, Xu Damao is indeed an outstanding young man.

An ordinary young man in Forty-Nine City, within a few years of arriving on Hong Kong Island, was able to build such a huge family fortune by following the right path.

Even if you put it in the whole world, it is still excellent enough.

If Xu Damao is not married, then Ran Qiuye's current conditions are still a bit unworthy of Xu Damao.

But Ran Qiuye's parents would not be willing to marry their only daughter into the Xu family as a concubine.

When the three members of Ran's family returned to their home after being guests, Ran's mother looked at her daughter with spring in her eyes and said, "Qiuye, come here, Mom will have a chat with you."

Ran Qiuye took off her disguise in front of her parents, nestled next to Ran's mother, and hugged her mother's arm.

Ran Qiuye said charmingly: "Mom, are you tired?"

Ran's mother shook her head, but calmly asked Ran Qiuye: "Qiuye, Mom wants to ask you, what's going on between you and that Mr. Xu?"

A little girl cannot lie in front of her mother. When Ran Qiuye heard Ran's mother's words, her face was already red with embarrassment before she even answered.

Ran Qiuye buried her face in Ran's mother's arms, but said shyly: "Mom, what are you talking about? President Xu and I are just like leaders and employees."

Ran's mother said seriously: "Really?"

Ran Qiuye thought for a moment, and then replied: "Maybe I am a little grateful to him. After all, if it weren't for him, our family might..."

Hearing this, Ran's mother couldn't help but sigh. There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life too much.

After the couple came over, they didn't tell anyone what happened to them.

Only Ran's father and mother knew how many times they would have thought of ending their lives if it weren't for Ran Qiuye.

Those tortures were not just physical pain, but also mental torture.

It is a torture that drives people into despair, wipes out all their pride, and makes them hopeless.

And Ran's mother knew that if her daughter had an accident, then Ran Qiuye would probably be able to live alone, but she would not be able to survive this matter in this life.

It is true that Xu Damao saved their family.

After Ran's mother thought about this, she sighed: "Qiuye, my mother understands what you are thinking. I can't repay Mr. Xu's kindness to our family too much.

But you also have to think about your own happiness. After all, Mr. Xu already has two wives. "

Persuading a woman in love is as difficult as persuading a mustache not to enter Poland.

Ran Qiuye promised quite well, even denying that she had any feelings for Xu Damao, but the longing in her eyes could not be concealed.

This is also due to the environment they are in. If they were in Sijiu City, even if Ran Qiuye loved Xu Damao, he would not think of being the third party.

But this is Hong Kong Island, and men with a small fortune usually have two or three wives at home. So it's normal for Ran Qiuye to have other ideas.

That's the way things are in the world, not all emotions are singular.

Emotional choices change with changes in the environment.

If the world suddenly became polyandry, as long as it lasted for decades, everyone would probably think it was normal.

Not only Ran's father and mother could see it, but Lou Xiao'e also had feelings about it.

Women are emotionally sensitive. At night, after Lou Xiao'e washed up and lay on the bed, she suddenly said to Xu Damao who was leaning on the bedside reading a book: "What is your relationship with Ran Qiuye?"

Xu Damao touched his nose nervously and pretended to be casual and said to Lou Xiao'e: "What does it have to do with it? I saved her parents, so they should be grateful to me."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and said, "Next time when you are nervous, could you please stop touching your nose? I can tell you have something up your sleeve at the first glance."

"Ah?" Xu Damao was stunned.
