Chapter 331 High Aspirations, National Responsibility
The saying that the ass decides the head is not always a pejorative.
At least some of the time, it probably has the same meaning as "what mountain to sing, what song to sing".
Just like what Wu Tao said just now, most people at the meeting could not fully understand the essence of him, and some even thought that you are the boss, and you can do whatever you say.
But hearing it in the ears of Wang Yongsheng, a senior in the industry, it happens to have a deafening effect.
If it is said that relying on price and advertising can take off, then there are so many small magazines and comics in the country, it is time to take off and break through one million sales.
However, no.
Wang Yongsheng couldn't help but glanced at Wu Tao in astonishment. What exactly is this young man's head made of?
Under Wang Yongsheng, Assistant Liao was confused and speechless.
On the contrary, Wen Hui was thoughtful and enlightened: "Boss, editor-in-chief, I suddenly thought of another problem. That is the factor that limits the sales of our comic magazines. In addition to purchasing power, there is also the general acceptance of magazines."
"...In Japan, reading comics for primary and middle school students is not regarded as a behavior that affects learning. But in China, comic magazines are almost banned by parents and affect learning. Most students can only Secretly buying, secretly watching..."
Wu Tao took the lead in applauding, "Very good, Editor-in-Chief Wen, you finally got to the point."
After being praised like this, Wenhui's cheeks under his glasses turned red immediately, "Boss, I only thought of it after comparing it with Fairy Tale King and Reader magazines."
When Wang Yongsheng heard it, "This is actually the same issue as what the higher-ups asked of us. That is to establish a positive image of the magazine and take advantage of the trend of the main theme."
"That's right, Mr. Wang, when you speak, you always stop talking and make a blockbuster." Wu Tao agreed, these words, coming from Wenhui and Wang Yongsheng's mouths, are much stronger than what he said.
Otherwise, this meeting would become his one-man show, his monologue. What thinking power and action power does the magazine itself have?
If it goes on like this, wouldn't it be strange if you don't exhaust yourself to death?
Wang Yongsheng felt sorry for being praised so much by him, but his demeanor was much more relaxed, and everyone in the conference room also relaxed.
"Although I have thought so much, I don't have any ideas yet. What about you, Wenhui?" Wang Yongsheng inquired.
Wen Hui also shook her head, looked at the participants and said, "If you have any good ideas, feel free to mention them?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and some people even hadn't caught up with their train of thought.
In the end, Wang Yongsheng looked at Wu Tao and said, "Boss, since you have an idea, come out and give us some advice!"
Wu Tao didn't put on airs anymore, "Okay, then I'll throw a brick to attract jade, and just make two points."
"...It's actually not difficult to establish a positive image for the magazine. Now that the magazine is already making considerable profits, we can take part of it to give back to the society."
"...For example, aid in the construction of the Hope Project. Isn't this in line with the main theme? Buying and donating books, along with donating some of our magazines to impoverished mountainous areas, is this positive energy?"
"...In this way, if we do more good things, we will naturally be able to enter the Hall of Elegance. After such positive publicity in newspapers, TV and other media to expand our influence, sales will naturally increase with the tide."
Wang Yongsheng clapped the table and exclaimed: "The idea is lofty, I think this method will work!"
Wen Hui clapped her hands excitedly, "In this way, it is equivalent to spending money on advertising. The difference is that the impact and significance are far more profound than advertising."
All the people secretly admired it, the boss's idea is really compelling.
Wenhui jotted it down in the notebook, raised her head and said with insatiable enthusiasm: "Then boss, regarding the content, what should we do?"
Wu Tao drank his coffee, pointed at the crowd and said, "Don't just tell me, you all should talk about it too."
Wen Huixing blurted out hastily: "I thought of one thing, and I also realized it from this trip to Japan. That is to improve the welfare of cartoonists, so that more children and parents can see cartoonists as a It is a very good job. And in turn, it will promote the image of the magazine and reduce the number of books that are listed as extracurricular books by parents and banned."
"Not bad!" Wu Tao affirmed: "Let me add one more point, that is, to what extent should this welfare be perfected? At least it can attract outstanding foreign cartoonists to join. In this way, it will promote diversification and integration, and drive the growth of the national animation industry." Rapid development, and the rapid maturity of the industrial chain."
After this discussion, I heard Zhao Li and other cartoonists below were full of longing and hope for the future.
I am so lucky to be able to combine my hobbies and careers in one place.
After that, everyone mentioned some specific measures, such as talent cooperation with colleges and universities, professional training and so on.
Instead, Wenhui picked up a lot of good ideas, and as the leading comic magazine in China, it finally has a clearer goal for its future development.
Even in private after the meeting, Wang Yongsheng couldn't help sighing: "Your boy's ideas are all high-minded, from the perspective of the nation and industry, to take the initiative to take responsibility and actively consider it."
"...Compared to this, the previous twenty years of my life were wasted! Back then, when the painting king was named king, I also resented and gave up. Now it seems that I deserve it!"
"Old Wang, what you said is serious." Wu Tao smiled and put his arms around the old man's shoulders, "Without you opening up this world, how could our magazine be where it is today?"
The old and the young were joking, and Wen Hui came over alone and said, "Boss, if those measures just now are really implemented, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, and the profit of the magazine will definitely be greatly affected."
"Well." Wu Tao didn't respond, and asked directly, "What do you think?"
Wen Hui plucked up her courage and said, "Can we accept advertisements selectively, and then blend them with comic characters to reduce readers' resentment?"
"I have no objection to this, but we must control the quantity and quality." Wu Tao agreed: "More importantly, if the animation work is carried out well, that is the new profit growth point!"
"Oh, I forgot about this." Wen Hui stuck out her tongue, turned and ran away.
After leaving Baoku Manke Magazine, Wu Tao rushed to Yuanqi Technology without stopping.
The industry chain under my name, from water and beauty industries, to investment companies, and then to technology companies, really depends on whether the two mobile phones can be a hit.
Among them, for the candy bar mobile phone plan A, the development of the miniaturized antenna module is a crucial link at present.
If this link cannot be implemented for a long time, it will definitely affect the productization progress of the A mobile phone.
As for the price not being negotiated, it may not be a big problem in his opinion, but the people below must not dare to make their own claims, for fear of negotiating a high price and taking joint and several liabilities.
Therefore, I am afraid that he must personally act on this matter before he can make a decision.
Fortunately, it's not too late at this point in time.
