Back to Manga Island, Qin Ya saw Meng Huo coming to work that afternoon and immediately said: "Teacher, you have a guest here on the island. I have been waiting for you for two days."

"Who?" Meng Huo asked.

"Curator Muto, you should be familiar with it."

Qin Ya said that the Muto curator Meng Huo knew only one, and that was the Muto curator of the Go Association in the Far East District. Besides, he didn't know anyone whose surname was Muto. However, when he heard the identity of this guest, Meng Huo suddenly lost interest.

"If it's for the suspension of the "Goss Soul", you can send them for me and say that I'm not free."

He said to Qin Ya that the suspension of the publication of "Soul of Chess" is already certain, and it is impossible for Meng Huo to change it again.

Qin Ya shook her head: "Even though they are here for this matter, it is better for you to meet them, teacher. At any rate, they have been waiting for you for two days, and maybe...Teacher, you can find unexpected surprises in them. ."

"unexpected surprise?"

Meng Huo looked at Qin Ya questioningly, but Qin Ya smiled slightly and did not give too much explanation.

"This woman didn't deliberately lie to me, right?" ——Such a thought flashed through Meng Huo's mind. However, from his understanding of Qin Ya, Qin Ya was not in this way to stop "The Soul of Chess "The publication is suspended and (the liar.)

And this kind of lie is too false, as soon as you contact Curator Muto, you can understand it.

After a brief thought, Meng Huo decided to believe Qin Ya once. He was a little interested in the so-called surprise, so he told Qin Ya to reply to them. Arranged to meet the visiting chess players at a hotel in the evening.

After get off work in the afternoon. Meng Huo went back and took a bath. Then set off with Qin Ya to the hotel.

In the hotel, all the chess players headed by Curator Muto were already seated. In addition to Muto, Meng Huo also met the director of Su Hua’s chess school and several professional chess players who had dealt with-most of the guests were acquaintances, only Rarely do not know.

"Why are you all here?" Meng Huo unexpectedly would have such a big battle: "Sorry, I have something to leave the comic island, so many of you have waited for two days."

"It doesn't matter, this is our mistake." Curator Muto smiled bitterly. He Xi’s movements in the previous two days are actually no secret. If they pay a little attention, they will know in advance that He Xi is going to Yanjing to defend.

"Teacher, Miss Qin, please sit down soon." The chess players enthusiastically invited Meng Huo to the table. Qin Ya is an assistant of "Soul of Chess". He has a good identity and will naturally be in today's meeting.

After sitting down, Meng Huo asked, "Is Comic Island okay?"

"Not bad!"

"It feels fresh these two days."

The chess players did not wait for two days, and they enjoyed the atmosphere of the comic island.

"We came here this time to thank the teacher." After the greeting. Curator Muto said: "Thanks to the launch of "Soul of Go", the development of China Go in less than two years has surpassed the sum of the past ten years. The Go Association has also successfully turned losses into profits."

"Turning losses into profits?" Meng Huo was surprised: "Didn't the chess halls in your various places lower their prices again this year?"

He has always been concerned about the trend of the Go Association. In the past two years, in order to increase the number of Go fans, the China Go Association has greatly reduced the cost of the main source of income for the "chess hall". Among the chess halls in each local city, Hourly consumption is 1 to 2 yuan cheaper than Internet cafes.

Thanks to the implementation of this plan, the number of Chinese Go fans has indeed grown rapidly, reaching the highest growth rate in two hundred years. However, the daily maintenance cost of the chess hall is not low. While the low price attracts fans, it is far from turning losses into profits.

"I remember reading a local report a few months ago." Qin Ya also intervened and said, "Suhua's chess hall still costs more than the income for daily maintenance, so I have to seek subsidies from the association every month. Did I remember wrong?"

Her words made Su Hua's Chess Academy dean smile: "No, Ms. Qin, you remember correctly, in fact, the operation of the chess house does have a slight loss. This situation may not be changed in the next one to two years."

"In order to maintain the current rate of increase of Go enthusiasts, we will not change the low-price strategy in two years." Curator Muto added two sentences, saying: "If the effect is not greatly reduced after two years, it may continue to be maintained. ."

"Then how does your association make money?" Meng Huo asked.

"Teacher, the original ways of making money in our association are many, but they have not been developed."

Curator Muto explained that with the popularity of "Soul of the Go" and the sharp reduction in the cost of chess halls in various places, the number of Chinese Go enthusiasts has blown out, and it has immediately driven the business development of all aspects of the Go Association.

First of all, there are more kinds of Go cram schools. In order to increase their understanding of Go, a large number of enthusiasts and beginners are no longer satisfied with the elementary teaching provided by the chess hall, but have sought a cram school for professional chess players-China Go Association can Fees are charged through introductions and tuition classes.

Subsequently, the increase in fans led to an increase in various competitions, which attracted many investors, and the operation and bonus burden of the competition was shared. In the past two years, the sales of various books and tools related to Go have also grown explosively, becoming the main income of the China Go Association.

"Speaking of chessboards, we now sell more chessboards every month than in the past year." Muto sighed: "The price of chessboards with history and brands has risen even more. The chessboards of 10,000 in the past are now looted for 30,000."

With the revival of Go, the concept of the Go brand is also reviving. The price of historical relics has skyrocketed. Some players of the Go Association have sold some useless cultural relics at home, and many have been born. Little rich man.

Qin Ya was stunned when she heard it. Although she knew that "The Soul of the Game" had brought great changes to the Go world, she did not expect the changes to be so earth-shaking.

"Aren't you deliberately praising Teacher He Xi?" She said suspiciously, "Why don't I feel that the reality has changed so much? There aren't many people around me who go to cram school because of "Soul of Go"."

When Meng Huo heard this, he looked at Qin Ya in a bit of astonishment. He thought that the surprise Qin Ya said was just this. But look at Qin Ya like this. The surprise she said was that there was something else.

Muto laughed haha: "Miss Qin. What time is it now, not everything can be seen from the side of its popularity. The biggest income of our association now is not from reality, but from the Internet."

"The internet!?"

"Yes, network!"

Muto explained that although offline cram schools and product sales are good, their operations on the Internet appear to be more successful. Nearly half of the cram schools are conducted online through video guidance, which greatly saves costs and makes it easier to match the time of Go enthusiasts. Attract more people to sign up.

Similarly, the Go Association has opened a "Go Mall" on the Internet to directly sell various props. There are many merchants approved by the Go Association for sales. The quality and service are guaranteed, and the sales are quite good.

Moreover, the association operates a Go game battle platform, online and offline joints, and often organizes various competitions, and the game revenue of the platform itself is also quite good.

"You guys are really modern enough to play." Meng Huo was speechless. This Go Association is not easy. The marketing tactics are quite slippery, and Phoenix's comics layout on the Internet is far inferior to them.

And this is only two years. The Go Association can already connect online and offline. After they continue to play for more than ten years, this activity is really likely to achieve a complete recovery and become a national-level competitive activity.

"Because we have an excellent benefactor behind us..."

Curator Muto said with a smile, he dare not say that everything today is the achievement of the Go Association, and professional chess players generally have no business acumen. And it is the gold master behind the association that is creating today's miracles. As long as it provides an opportunity to its powerful think tank, they can reactivate any sunset industry.

For Huaxia Go, the comic book "God of Chess" is such an opportunity.

"Teacher He Xi, I heard that you intend to stop the serialization of "Gossman"?" Muto slowly put away his smile, his expression became formal.

Sure enough, Meng Huo's heart came and nodded: "Yes, but if you want to persuade me, I think I will die of this heart... This is something that has been determined, and I will not change this plan."

The dean of Suhua Chess Academy then asked: "Stopping serialization means stopping for a period of time, not forever?"

Meng Huo nodded again. He just stopped serialization during his travels. When he returns from the outside world, he will soon re-publish "Hire of Go". It is unlikely that the entire serialization will stop for more than half a year.

"Sure enough." The Dean of the Suhua Chess Academy gave a relieved expression and said: "We really wanted to prevent Mr. He Xi from suspending publication. "Soul of the Game" is very important to our association. We are very worried about it after it ceases publication. The impact it will bring."

"But after learning about Mr. He Xi's plan, we found that there was not enough reason to stop you."

Curator Muto shook his head. In the final analysis, what pity the Go Association has sought in the comic book "The Soul of the Game", but there is nothing that can be obtained from the Go Association-the identities of the two parties are not equal, and the Go Association is in negotiation They have already received a lot of care, and now they are even more ineligible to ask for further progress.

What's more, after passing the investigation, they also discovered He Xi's reason for doing so. This cartoonist worked so hard in the past that when the Go Association wanted to ask the editors of Phoenix to persuade He Xi, no one even agreed to do so.

This time the suspension of the comics is not only "Gossman", and the most influential one may not be the Go Association, but Phoenix. However, even so, the Phoenix Company is still willing to bear the losses and risks, and give He Xi some time to rest.

After investigating these inside information, the Go Association found that it was powerless, and it was too shameless to ask for it to change its mind-so the biggest goal of their trip was another matter.

Meng Huo found that the topic was about to come, and couldn't help but cheer up.

But Muto didn't state the purpose at once, but first took out a thick document bag and handed it to Meng Huo.

"What is this?" Meng Huo opened the file bag curiously and pulled out the files inside. Then the title of the file at the top attracted his attention: "...Huiyue Studio Transfer Agreement?"

"Yes, Huiyue Studio is the only animation studio in China's top ten animation studios that does not belong to Phoenix and Zhongxia." Curator Muto nodded and said, "We bought it and thought I want to give it to Teacher He Xi. I hope you can promise us one thing."

Huiyue Studio, Meng Huo remembers this studio-this is an animation studio set up by a group of very talented painters. The standard is quite high. It has made several ordinary comics into popular animations with high returns.

He knew this studio because both Shen Jie and Alice had seen it before his eyes. It was also the old employer of the firm's voice actors other than Phoenix Company. Zhongxia Company also wanted to acquire it several times.

However, Huiyue Studio's performance is quite good, and there are many people who are willing to invest. It is said that there are big forces behind it, and the studio's creators have long stated that they will not sell to other people, so it is still outstanding.

"Is this the surprise?" Meng Huo turned to look at Qin Ya, Qin Ya nodded slightly to him, it seems that she knew this in advance.

Meng Huo turned his gaze back to Curator Muto again: "How did you buy Huiyue Studio?"

"We have some connections with this studio." Curator Muto knew what Meng Huo was thinking, and explained: "Teacher, you don't have to worry about them not cooperating after you get it. We use normal methods and obtain the consent of Huiyue Studio. I bought them later."

The reason why I thought of buying an animation studio to give it to He Xi, this is actually a last resort of the Go Association~lightnovelpub.net~ He Xi has never liked to receive gifts. In the past, it was so troublesome to give a chess board. Considering from his perspective, give him something that will help him.

Huiyue Studio really has a lot of attraction to Meng Huo. He has specially seen the work of this studio. The quality of employees is not inferior to the other animation departments of Phoenix. If it is placed in his hands, the employees’ The potential is activated, and the effect of its play may be another'island' studio.

"..." Meng Huo tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a moment: "What do you want me to promise?"

Hearing Meng Huo’s words, Muto knew that they had chosen the right gift this time. He breathed a sigh of relief, then sat upright, and said, "Teacher He Xi, have you ever considered the animation of "Gossman"... …"

It is their dream to animate "God of Go". However, if you have to wait to animate a particular manga, no one knows how long and how long they will wait-it is better to fight for it earlier. (To be continued...) WWW.GEILIWX.COM Happy reading every day
