The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 41: Thriving (Seeking follow-up reading)

"Are you confident in turning the story of 'A Better Tomorrow' into a cartridge game?"

After the VTech manager came in and introduced himself and exchanged pleasantries, Wu Feng didn't hesitate at all and asked bluntly, "Don't be careless, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

He didn't exude any domineering aura as he spoke, but judging by his sturdy build and sharp eyes, it was clear he was no pushover.

With Boss Lei's endorsement, VTech's manager naturally wouldn't suspect Wu Feng was a liar.

But when he met Wu Feng's sharp eyes, he couldn't help feeling guilty. Unconsciously, a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead. He licked his dry lips and said with difficulty: "There is a complete storyline, so it's not a big problem, but the company's funds..."

"I'll invest one million, and VTech will just give me some shares!"

Wu Feng asked directly: "How long will it take to produce the finished product?"

"About half a year!"

The VTech manager thought about it for a moment and gave a positive answer: "There aren't many technical problems!"

"What about the arcade version? Can it be made?"

Wu Feng continued, "There aren't many pure battle games on the market. A Better Tomorrow is very popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Once it's released, as long as the graphics and playability are good, it will become an instant hit!"

"The arcade version is easier to make!"

The VTech manager pondered for a moment, his eyes shining as he said, "It's not that easy to promote it!"

"Haha, ask Lei Sheng if he has the ability to promote it?"

Wu Feng said confidently: "My Mong Kok News will also vigorously promote it!"

"Also, the project for 'A Better Tomorrow 2' has also started, and we can all help promote it then!"

"Takeshi and Cinema City have reached a cooperation agreement!"

Although Boss Lei was a little surprised, he still spoke up to help endorse the project: "As for publicity, don't worry. Xinyicheng still has the ability to do that!"

The VTech manager was delighted and nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. He would start the project after returning.

After the guy left, Boss Lei asked suspiciously, "Can you make money selling game cartridges and arcade games?"

"Lei Sheng, you shouldn't ask that!"

Wu Feng said calmly, "You should consider how to grab more market share from the game manufacturers and enjoy a bigger piece of the pie!"

"The gaming industry is at least a multi-billion dollar industry. A small profit can easily reach hundreds of millions. The key is that the competition isn't very fierce!"

"Mr. Lei, can you send someone to investigate how many arcade machines there are in Hong Kong Island right now?"

"I only want VTech to make the arcade machine motherboard. If I sell the entire arcade machine, it can sell for tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and the cost is probably less than one-tenth of it!"

“So profitable?”

Now, not only did Boss Lei widen his eyes, but even Wong Jing, who had been acting as a transparent man, was speechless.

"The development of new technologies brings astonishing profits!"

Wu Feng said nonchalantly, "To give you a simple example, there's a huge gap between the cost and selling price of a pager. This is the huge benefit that technological progress brings!"

Boss Lei nodded to show that he understood. The current price of a pager in Hong Kong Island is around six or seven hundred.

He had also heard that the cost of producing pagers in Taiwan was estimated to be only about two hundred yuan, and the profit was two or three times, which was quite exaggerated.

It was already mid-afternoon when they left Cinema City. Huang Baiming, who had personally escorted them downstairs, was speechless as he watched Wu Feng and his men get into a large van.

At the same time, I admire him very much. He can still live such a "simple" life after becoming successful. His strong character cannot be underestimated.

Wu Feng in the van had no idea what Wong Jing was thinking.

He was in a very good mood at this time and took the first step related to electronic fast-moving consumer goods.

Having read many urban rebirth novels, he naturally understood that the manufacturing industry in the mainland was still very powerful at that time.

Even in the field of microelectronics, it is not completely useless.

Otherwise, how did the famous Xiaobawang learning machine come about?

Now is the perfect time to enter the home and arcade game sector, right here on Hong Kong Island.

The main thing is that the current international environment is quite good!
The bipolar struggle during the Cold War left both superpowers exhausted.

At this time, the United States is quite friendly to the mainland, the leader of the third world.

Not to mention the gaming market, even the F14 Cat-X fighter jet, which has been lingering in the minds of military fans for many years, is being sold by the United States, but the mainland simply doesn't have the money to buy it.

The game market is like this, and the film market is actually in a similar situation!
By the 1990s, the mainstream film market in Europe and the United States would gradually tighten as the situation changed.

He took a car to the newspaper office and first greeted Liu Wenxiang, the manager in charge of the newspaper's business, and said that the serialization rights for the novel "A Better Tomorrow" had been obtained, and asked the newspaper to send the legal department to sign the contract as soon as possible.

At the same time, there is also cooperation with VTech, which needs to be handled by the newspaper.

At this time, Wu Feng's business was centered around the newspaper, and it was estimated that this would last for a long time.

Next, it’s time to cause trouble for Uncle Ben from Dongxing.

There was no need for the newspaper manager to personally inquire about it. Wu Feng directly instructed the person in charge of the newspaper's social section to handle it.

There is no need to do anything dangerous, just report what Uncle Ben from Dongxing did in Bowl Lane.

Again, the actions of gang thugs cannot be exposed.

Wu Feng made it clear that if they were worried about retaliation from Dongxing, they could sell the news to other newspapers and the Mong Kok News could reprint it later.

He was not afraid of Dongxing's trouble, but if he were an ordinary field reporter for the newspaper, he might not have such confidence.

To put it bluntly, Wu Feng's industry was still in its growth phase, and its strength and influence were only average, so he couldn't use his reputation to intimidate scoundrels. He himself was aware of this and didn't make things difficult for his employees.

Didn’t you see that after hearing his advice, many reporters on the social pages subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief?

Then, I walked around the newspaper office and saw a thriving atmosphere.

At this time, the newspaper had become a well-known newspaper group in Hong Kong Island through the serialization of the knight-errant novels in "Ju Meng" and the "Legend of the Qinling Cat Demon" which was already nearing its end, as well as being responsible for the publishing of novels, comic books and other matters.

Not only does the business itself generate considerable revenue, but advertising revenue is also increasing!
The salaries of employees are above average compared to other industries.

Not to mention the various hidden benefits that are rare in Hong Kong Island, which can definitely make employees feel very happy, and their cohesion and motivation are quite good.

How long has it been?

Wu Feng smiled slightly, and seeing that everything was running smoothly here, he didn't stay any longer. He said something and got into the van, then left the newspaper office and returned to Tuodi.

　Please help me save it, the data is too bad
