Chapter 161 Future Planning
After reading this comic book, Smith was pleasantly surprised to find that it was similar to mainstream American comics, but the content was more exciting and the subject matter was more intriguing.
Smith said excitedly: "Jiang, your comics are great. I decided to order a batch! How much do you sell them for?"
"2.5 dollars, Mr. Smith, how many copies do you want to purchase?"
Smith quickly calculated in his mind that $2.5 was indeed a bargain. He then asked, "Jiang, how many copies of this comic do you plan to draw?"
“30 or more!”
When Smith heard that this comic book would be drawn into more than 30 volumes, he immediately saw the business opportunity and began to quickly calculate in his mind.
Smith plans to go back and register a comics company to specialize in this comic, and then vigorously promote this comic through his own channels.
"Jiang, can I know the general plot of this work? What you just said was too simple." Smith's eyes flashed with desire.
"Okay!" Jiang Weimin was just about to start from the beginning.
"Jiang, can you give me a written outline? Of course, I need to purchase at least 20 copies this time."
Smith looked at Jiang Weimin, as if he had already seen the scene of this comic strip shining brightly in the American market.
"Smith, let's do it tomorrow! I'll go back and write an outline today and bring it over tomorrow."
Jiang Weimin went back and stayed up very late, looking up the dictionary and organizing the language, and finally finished writing the outline.
Fortunately, the Guangzhou Printing and Dyeing Factory found a single room for Jiang Weimin.
The next day, Jiang Weimin took the outline to Guangzhou Hotel and found Smith.
After entering the hotel, Jiang Weimin quickly found Smith.
Smith took the outline and read it attentively.
As time went by, a look of satisfaction gradually appeared on his face.
After reading the outline, Smith looked up with excitement in his eyes, and placed an order for 20 copies with Jiang Weimin on the spot.
However, just when Jiang Weimin thought that the matter had come to a successful conclusion, Smith made one final request.
"Jiang, I want War Eagle Comics to be on the cover," Smith said solemnly.
Hearing this request, Jiang Weimin instantly understood Smith's idea. He knew that Smith wanted to use this opportunity to promote his comic brand.
Although he felt a little helpless, Jiang Weimin also understood that this was part of the business cooperation, so he didn't say anything.
Instead, Jiang Weimin quickly adjusted his mindset, picked up his paintbrush, and drew several sketches for Smith to choose from.
Smith was impressed by Jiang Weimin's professionalism and efficiency. After careful consideration, they finally finalized the cover design.
Jiang Weimin left Guangzhou Hotel with satisfaction, taking the contract.
Then, Jiang Weimin immediately contacted booksellers in Hong Kong.
This Hong Kong bookseller is a patriotic businessman. If it weren't for his patriotic feelings, he wouldn't have purchased 10 sets of each comic book at the Canton Fair last time.
After all, in the 70s, the population of Hong Kong Island was only 500 million, and if each comic could sell 10 copies, it would already be the best comic in Hong Kong Island. Xin Hao Jiang Weimin's comics are good enough.
After the two met and had an in-depth exchange, the Hong Kong businessman expressed his appreciation for Jiang Weimin's efforts and talents.
He went on to purchase two new comic books from the Special Forces, totaling 2 copies.
Due to the low unit price, this is just a $2 foreign exchange order.
However, for Jiang Weimin, every order represents trust and support.
Since Zhang Tianshui's latest crime-solving comic strip has not yet been drawn, only the special forces comic strip has been updated, which makes Hong Kong businessmen feel a little regretful.
When Jiang Weimin took out the comic book of "The Monkey King", the Hong Kong businessman's eyes lit up immediately. He was deeply attracted by the comic book.
Without hesitation, the Hong Kong businessman placed an order for 10 copies, believing that this comic book would be loved by readers in the Hong Kong market.
Finally, Jiang Weimin found the British businessman Anderson. Since Anderson's last order was relatively small,
However, the British have shown a strong interest in comic strips about solving crimes.
Unexpectedly, the comic books were sold out in the end. This time, Anderson purchased another 20,000 copies.
When Anderson saw the comic book "Legend of the Great Demon" that Jiang Weimin took out, his eyes were instantly attracted by the exquisite pictures.
On the cover, the majestic image of the Monkey King seems to carry an irresistible magic.
Anderson flipped through the comic books carefully and was impressed by the wonderful stories and fighting scenes.
In the end, Anderson decisively placed an order for 5 copies.
After some efforts, Jiang Weimin successfully won an order for 35 copies of "The Monkey King" before the Canton Fair even started.
In addition, there was an order for 20 copies of special forces and 2 sets of police dog attack kits.
The total value of these orders was $90.5. Jiang Weimin was shocked when he calculated that the orders were close to $100 million.
This number far exceeded his expectations, which made Jiang Weimin very emotional.
Jiang Weimin secretly calculated in his mind that if he could contact booksellers in countries such as Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Singapore this time, he would definitely be able to exceed 100 million US dollars.
Jiang Weimin did not register these order contracts first, but planned to register them after the Canton Fair started.
He did this to give himself some free time before the show started.
During this communication with booksellers, Jiang Weimin took extra care to collect the overseas addresses of these booksellers.
He has a clear plan in mind. After several Canton Fairs, the channel has been successfully opened up. He does not plan to attend every Canton Fair in person in the future.
After all, the current situation is different from before. Business is gradually getting on track and all links are becoming smoother.
Jiang Weimin's main task in the past two years was probably to devote all his energy to drawing the comic strip "The Monkey King".
With these stable channels, new comic books can be communicated directly to booksellers via telegram, which is both efficient and convenient.
In this way, it would be completely possible to arrange for other employees to attend the Canton Fair.
Jiang Weimin sat there quietly, thinking about future developments in his mind.
Jiang Weimin thought about the time arranged for the next two years, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
Jiang Weimin deeply realized that it was not possible to fight alone, and if he wanted to achieve greater success, he must unite more forces.
Therefore, Jiang Weimin decided to establish a painting group with himself as the core to boost his creativity and make himself feel more relaxed.
