Chapter 125 The road is long
It's early spring in March, and it's suddenly warm but then cold, and the heaviest cotton-padded jacket here in the Northeast can just be taken off.
Those who had just come from the south at Zhongxin Studio carefully took off their down jackets and put on small cotton-padded jackets.
But! They are still reluctant to part with their down jackets. Whenever they go out of the house, they will always put their down jackets on.
Because of the way they dress, Zhongxin Company is naturally divided into Northeast locals and outsiders.
The newcomers to Zhongxin Comics Studio watched the people dressed as farmers coming in and out. Most of them couldn't figure out what Zhongxin Company did.
If you say you specialize in cartoons, how can you work in a compound with rural fishermen? How can you open a studio in the countryside?
After arriving in Jiangcheng for a period of time, many people even thought that Zhongxin Comics Studio was a scam company that had deceived them.
However, after some inquiries, they found out that Zhongxin Company has undertaken many projects and has never been short of money.
Meal subsidy is distributed in advance, it is free to eat in the canteen, and the largest supermarket in Jiangcheng is opened.
They all had been to that kind of supermarket, and they were even more surprised that any leader of Zhongxin Company was so talented that he could think of such a business model.
This kind of supermarket business model is not available even in Shanghai or Beijing. It can be said to be a first of its kind in this era.
According to local people in Jiangcheng, Zhongxin Company was established less than a year ago and started fishing in the river. They don’t know much about what the company was doing in the later period, but Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket Chain is Zhongxin.
The company, they know this.
Hearing the explanations from people in the village, outsiders like them were even more confused. The Zhongxin Company was engaged in fishing and supermarkets. How could they think of starting a Zhongxin Comics Studio?
But what! By going to the Zhongxin supermarket chain to buy items, they made sure of one thing.
That is, Zhongxin Company is definitely a conscientious enterprise.
Among all Zhongxin grocery chain supermarkets, the gross profit margin of more than 90% of the items is so low that it is even unbelievable.
To take the simplest example, a good towel in Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket only costs 5 cents, while towels of the same texture and quality are sold in other department stores for nearly one yuan, or even more than 1 yuan.
One dollar.
According to the salesperson of Zhongxin Supermarket, the wholesale price of more than 100 towels is 5 cents. In other words, these grocery chain supermarkets only earn 5 cents for a towel of such high quality.
The profit margin on almost all items sold by Zhongxin Company is pitifully low. Generally, the profit margin on sold items does not exceed 15%, and the average profit margin is nearly 10%.
Occasionally, the profit margin may be higher for some rare items, or high-end household appliances. After all, the supply of such items is not sufficient, and they will generally be sold out when they enter supermarkets.
In a super metropolis like Shanghai, the prices of the items they purchased at Zhongxin Supermarket, from towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, to all the daily necessities they used at Zhongxin Company, were higher than those at Zhongxin Grocery Store.
Supermarket chain.
Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket chain opened in Jiangcheng for just over half a year, and it has already become a household name in Jiangcheng.
Almost all people in Jiangcheng know that they have to go to the Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket to buy goods. The goods there are of good quality and cheap. If you feel that the purchased goods are not suitable, you can return or exchange them at any time.
In time for the Chinese New Year and the holidays, you can also enjoy greater discounts.
According to what they think, this supermarket is very strange. It does not consider how to increase prices to obtain higher profits, but instead lowers prices to the lowest. It is simply a double act.
After being in contact with Zhongxin Comics Studio for a long time, they gradually learned some things about Zhongxin Company.
The biggest advantage of Zhongxin Company is that it is not short of money. The two RB comics created by Zhongxin Comics Studio have always been the best-sellers of RB. In 1983, the income from ten comic works could even reach nearly 100 yuan.
Thousands of RMB.
This kind of gain simply makes them feel overwhelmed and makes them feel full of motivation.
Why does Zhongxin Comics Studio give them such high wages? It’s because there is no shortage of money.
Why does the Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket operate like this? It’s because it’s not short of money.
Because of these things, they believed what Li Yongguo and Wang Rui said that Zhongxin Comics Studio was preparing to start construction of the China Comics Base Building at the end of 1983.
As long as Zhongxin Comics Studio can continue to develop like this, not only will they not have to worry about wages, but they will also become a pioneer in the animation base.
After they arrived at Zhongxin Comics Studio, they were first instilled with some brand-new comic creation concepts by Li Yongguo and Wang Rui, and they also learned many unseen comics drawing skills. These things alone have made them
The benefits are huge.
Although they were all outstanding employees at the Shanghai Art Studio before and were the best in the department, however, after arriving here, they discovered that comics could actually be drawn like this, and they were simply the frog in the well.
Especially the central concept of the comic proposed by Zhongxin Company, the concept expressed in the comic that is deeply rooted in people's hearts and souls, and allows people to firmly remember the character's temperament as soon as they see it.
Recently, those of them who later joined Zhongxin Comics Studio gathered together to research and create a comic called "Soccer King".
These people studied the outline of the comic "Soccer King" in depth, and even determined several characters based on the characters described by Li Yongguo.
However, these characters were all rejected.
According to Li Yongguo, the images of these characters are too rigid. After they are drawn, they do not have that kind of vivid personality, let alone the inner heart of the characters.
No matter from the character's conception, the character's eyes, or the character's movements and expressions, there is no sense of freshness, as if these characters have been living in the 1960s and 1970s.
These people are all from the 1950s and 1960s, and most of the characters in their minds are from the 1960s and 1970s, which is incompatible with such an inspirational comic.
Li Yongguo told them that the comic "Football King" is divided into two forms: Japanese comics and Chinese local comics. The characters in the two comics have different images.
The characters in Japanese comics must first be publicized and show the youthful and frivolous publicity. Whether it is the clothing or the hairstyle of the characters, they must highlight the uniqueness of these comic characters.
Comic characters must always have their own unique characteristics, and they must not be the same as the general public.
The players' unruly arrogance, the arrogance that no one cares about, and the arrogance should be used to maximize the arrogance and arrogance of the RB nation.
Comics themselves are exaggerated creations. If these elements cannot be fully expanded and brought out, then it will not be a successful Japanese comic.
There are only a few protagonists in total, and their images are related to the success of the entire comic. It is not enough to simply draw a character who looks like an RB youth.
As for the Chinese version of "The King of Football," their character portrayals are not up to Li Yongguo's standards.
According to Li Yongguo's words, the characters in the Chinese version of the comics are even less full-bodied. The kind of never admitting defeat and the kind of love for football are not fully interpreted from all angles of the characters.
