The richest man: I really don’t want to make money.

Chapter 1818 Acquisition of a Comic Book Company

Chen Mo watched the live stream for a short while, then left. He then checked out the live stream of another streamer, [Black Monkey].

Judging from the number of viewers in the live stream and the discussions in the chat, it's clear that the explosive popularity of the "black monkey" was an inevitable trend.

After confirming these things, I immediately left Tiger Head Live.

He slumped back in his chair, still unsure how much revenue the "black monkey" would ultimately generate.

However, he needs to prepare in advance and find a new investment project.

He had already thought about the project, and decided to have the single-player game division continue developing new single-player games.

He could easily invest more funds. This single-player game has been in development for more than two years, so after this investment, he won't have to worry about the single-player game for about two years.

If the game is larger, the development cycle may be even longer.

However, judging from the current trend of [Black Monkey], the final income will probably be far higher than the funds he needs to invest in new single-player games.

Never mind, let's find an opportunity to invest the money first.

After a while,

Chen Mo slowly sat up from his seat, a look of composure on his face, since there was no way to stop the game from making money.

Then enjoy it! I never played this game in my previous life, but now I can finally experience it properly.

Thinking it over, he turned on his computer, entered the game login platform, found "Black Monkey," and without even trying it out, clicked "buy."

Download the game.

Once the game finished downloading, I started playing.

For a moment, the only sound in the office was the clatter of keyboards.

.............

at the same time,

Blue Film Entertainment,

in the office,

"Is there anything I can help you with, Editor Liu?"

Luo Xiao answered the phone and asked.

Editor Liu is naturally Liu Wenqing, who has already led his team overseas.

By this time, he had been away for almost a month, and normally he would report on his work once a week.

But less than a week later, the other party called, so something must have happened.

"President Luo, there are some things. We came here to develop Blue Film Films branch, right?"

“During this period, we have been looking for a suitable opportunity to set up a branch office.”

"However, I met the owner of a comic book company today, and he had some new ideas."

Liu Wenqing began to speak.

"What are your thoughts? Tell me."

Luo Xiao asked with some curiosity after hearing this.

"It's quite troublesome for us to build a new team here. It would be much simpler to just spend money to acquire a company."

Liu Wenqing shared his thoughts.

"Acquiring a company is not a problem, but do you have suitable candidates?"

Luo Xiao did not refuse outright upon hearing this, as acquiring a company was indeed a quick and easy way.

Currently, several companies in Tomorrow Group were acquired.

However, finding a suitable company to acquire it is somewhat difficult.

"Mr. Luo, that's why I'm calling. The right company is the comic book company I just mentioned."

"Weren't we planning to enter the overseas film and television industry? Why are we acquiring a comic book company?"

Upon hearing Luo Xiao's words, Liu Wenqing began to explain.

"Mr. Luo, film and television companies are still easy to transform. We have managers, actors, and filming personnel all in China."

"Even if we don't use people from China, we can recruit them from overseas."

"Currently, the most difficult thing in developing overseas is still the works themselves. If we want to make a name for ourselves in overseas film and television, the most important thing is to create an IP that belongs to us."

"As for that comic book company, I took a look. They have an IP comic that is quite popular overseas. If we acquire it..."

"If we adapt the comic into a movie and it's successful, we won't have to worry about the project at all. There are many characters in the comic that can be adapted."

"Another point is that this comic book company has encountered some problems that have completely affected its operations. We can take this opportunity to acquire it."

“I spoke with the owner of that comic book company yesterday, and he's willing to be acquired if we do.”

Luo Xiao pondered Liu Wenqing's words for a moment and felt that there was some truth to what Liu Wenqing said.

His ultimate goal in sending Liu Wenqing and his team overseas was to help Blue Film Films penetrate the overseas market.

To penetrate overseas markets, it is essential to understand their needs; one cannot simply apply domestic solutions to overseas markets.

Acquiring a decent comic book company at this time ensures that there won't be any mistakes in the selection of future works.

after all,

The comics have already proven their market appeal and popularity.

"Hmm... how much capital would be needed to acquire that comic book company?"

"President Luo, I've already discussed it. We can acquire it for 25 billion. If we wait until this comic company overcomes its current difficulties and then try to acquire it later, 25 billion might not be enough."

"I believe that the value of a comic book company lies not in the company itself, but in the copyright of the comics. As long as we obtain the copyright of the comics, we can adapt them into many works."

Liu Wenqing spoke quickly.

"What's the name of that comic book company? I'll find out more before making a decision."

Luo Xiao did not make a decision immediately; 25 billion was not a small amount, and he needed to be cautious.

"Mr. Luo, the company's name is Marvel Comics."

Liu Wenqing began to speak.

"Um... wait a moment."

As Luo Xiao spoke, he turned on his computer and began searching for information about Marvel Comics.

10 minutes later,

Luo Xiao looked away and spoke to the phone that was still connected.

"I've agreed to the acquisition, and you'll be in full charge of it. But you should still do your research carefully so you don't get scammed."

Luo Xiao spoke up, offering a reminder.

"Okay, Mr. Luo, don't worry about that. Before we started the acquisition, our team had already thoroughly researched the comic book company. There won't be any problems."

Liu Wenqing began to speak.

"As long as you know what's going on."

Luo Xiao nodded. He had just looked into Marvel Comics, and the information he found showed that there were indeed no problems.

He also looked into Marvel Comics and found that it does indeed have a considerable number of loyal readers overseas.

If they can truly develop Marvel Comics into a major IP as Liu Wenqing suggested, then Blue Film Films will have completely penetrated the overseas market.

This time, Liu Wenqing led a team on a business trip overseas, and he approved a total of 30 billion yuan in funding.

There's no problem with having 25 billion yuan to acquire the company and another 5 million yuan for operations.
