Chapter 226 Tens of Thousands of Figurine Models? (Please Subscribe)

Should I buy a ready-made IP universe directly?

To be honest, Gu Miao didn't really agree with this proposal. Because in his opinion, superhero series and American comic IPs can actually be regarded as "assembly line" products, not particularly rare.

This thing...

As long as you want to make a replica, follow the "superhero" template design, you can have as many as you want. Don't you think there will be countless superheroes in the Marvel DC universe in the future?

There is another main reason.

Gu Miao calculated her family fortune and found that she didn't have much remaining available cash flow.

Money should be spent wisely!

With large investments of tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars, we have fallen into the deep pit of "American comics" and we don't know when we will be able to climb out.

Therefore, after some serious thinking, he rejected the plan submitted by Teacher Nantong.

But he didn't veto it outright.

He just doesn't agree with the plan of directly taking the "acquisition" route to buy and buy. If it's about poaching people and making original superheroes or adapting them yourself, then it doesn't actually matter.

It doesn’t cost much anyway…

In addition to Wanbao Comics, President Kobayashi of Wanbao Games also submitted a project for a "new game" to Gu Miao at the beginning of the new year.

Gu Miao looked it over and felt there was nothing wrong with it, so she signed her name and approved it.

Xiao Lin has a very lively mind.

The new game project he submitted is actually an IP fan-tailored game based on the anime "Sailor Moon".

This is right!

In his conception, this is a free mobile game that focuses on PVE painting competition, with the core being "card drawing" and "krypton gold".

"Hold the grass! SSR bunny!"

"Golden Legend, Crown of the Moon..."

broken!

It has only been less than half a year since Xiao Lin switched from consoles to mobile games, and he has learned the core cheating routines of mobile games.

Gu Miao smiled happily.

Although most of the reviews for this kind of game will not be very good, one thing must be admitted. Fans of this kind of card-drawing game have a really high turnover rate!

Especially when a new card pool is released...

Good guy!

For the sake of their beloved wives, for the beautiful new clothes, and for the stronger new weapons, these nerds can’t spend enough money and just drain the card pool?

"Hey, it's great!"

Gu Miao patted Xiao Lin, the former president of Elf Games Studio and now the president of Wanbao Games, on the shoulder, and said happily: "Wanbao has so many excellent animation IPs, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders!"

Low EQ: Increase efforts to make money!

High EQ: The burden is heavy!

Xiao Lin didn't know whether he understood or not, so he nodded and replied: "President, we have actually considered adapting animated works such as "Dragon Fighter" and "Lightning Rush" into games, but in terms of research and development funds, …”

"Lack of money? You should have told me earlier!"

"I don't have much else, but I have a lot of money! Let's do this, I will allocate 10 million to you first, and come to me after you spend it!"

Gu Miao said with a smile: "As long as you can continue to launch new games and bring generous returns to the group, money is not an issue."

"Hi Yi!"

After sending away President Xiao Lin of Wanbao Games, Gu Miao, who was full of joy, just wanted to go to Wanbao Toys for a visit, but was blocked by Teacher Nantong as soon as he went out.

Nantong had a dark face and evil eyes.

Gu Miao blinked, not knowing why this guy was so crazy, and asked cautiously: "What's wrong? Who messed with you again?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

"Mr. Gu! What do you mean? We are all members of Wanbao. Why did you give it to Xiaolin when he asked you for money? But you didn't give me any money when I asked you for it?"

Teacher Nantong said with full of grief and anger: "I have been working hard for Wanbao for so long, and there is no merit but hard work, right? And in the end, you treat me like this?"

"No fair! No fair!"

Okay!

It turned out to be because of this...

Seeing that he spoke with so much grief and anger, Gu Miao also felt quite embarrassed, so she explained to him: "The situation is different. Xiaolin can create more profits for the company by taking the money!"

"If it were you, how would you choose?"

"I do not care!"

Nantong simply said: "If you don't give me money today, I will stay with you and won't leave."

Gu Miao: "..."

what? Are they all treating him as a money-splitting boy? It's understandable that Xiaolin reaches out for money. After all, game development is expensive.

But what kind of money does Nantong ask for?

I'm too lazy to pay attention to this guy. If he's willing to hang around, let's not leave. Anyway, in Gu Miao's plan, the comic company does not need to allocate any financial resources.

Nantong does what he says.

Now that he has made up his mind to make a piece of brown candy, he will go wherever Gu Miao goes.

When Gu Miao left the company and drove to Wanbao Toys Factory No. 2 on the outskirts of Jiangchuan for inspection, he also ran over.

"Mr. Gu, he is..."

Seeing Nantong with a bad look on his face and looking unhappy with everyone, Lao He asked in surprise: "Why did he come with you?"

"Leave him!"

Gu Miao waved her hand, indicating that Lao He didn't mind and said: "This is my first time coming to Factory No. 2. Please introduce the situation to me."

Wanbao Toys, formerly known as "Wanzhibao" Toys Co., Ltd.

The old factory area, which is the factory area left over from the Wanzhibao era, is called Factory No. 1.

The No. 2 factory where Gu Miao is located is a brand new factory built by Wanbao Toys on the outskirts of Jiangchuan in order to expand production capacity and categories.

Compared to the old factory area...

Factory No. 2 is not only larger in area, but also has more workers and production lines. At the same time, production capacity has also increased fivefold. Under the premise of three shifts at full capacity, the highest record is the production of approximately 150,000 copies of the "Dragon King" Demon Robot in one day.

"Factory No. 2 now produces a variety of product categories, and basically all production capacity has been transferred here."

Lao He introduced: "Factory No. 1 is over there in the old factory area. From now on, we will only make hand-made models."

Figure model? !

Hearing this, Nantong, who was eavesdropping on the side, suddenly became interested and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. He, do you produce a lot of hand models? Do you need to separate a separate factory area?"

"a lot of!"

“More than you can imagine!”

Lao He explained with a smile: "So far, there have been close to 10,000 toy figure models produced by us or authorized by third parties!"

One... ten thousand styles?

Not only Nantong, but also Gu Miao was shocked when she heard this number.

How many works does Wanbao have?

From "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" which started as a dream, to "Moonlight Is So Beautiful" which has not yet been aired, there are only seven or eight animations in total.

Seven or eight animations, 10,000 figures?

Gu Miao felt dizzy just thinking about it. He really couldn't imagine how this "subdivided" category was created?

Are there really so many characters that can be made into figurine models? Or does it mean that there are hundreds or thousands of different models of figures for a single character?
