Chapter 541

"Dong Ding?"

In the evening, when Xu Jing and her family said it, Alice looked surprised: "he has come back?"

Of course, she knows Dong Ding. He is the former director of Longteng novels. To put it more clearly, Dong Ding is also the founder of Longteng. He has controlled the fate of Longteng company for 30 years. He was the first to put forward the concept of comics a long time ago. It was after receiving this information that Xu Jing established Phoenix company.

Therefore, it is not too much to call Dong Ding the origin of Chinese comics.

"Yes, do you remember the scene when I founded Phoenix?" Xu Jing nodded and sighed: "at the beginning, people all over the world didn't think that comic books could be developed into a separate industry, but Dong Ding saw that... He took comic books as a tool to increase the value of novels, and established Longteng comic books early. At that time, no one believed him, only me..."

"Only dad, you believe it." Alice smiles. That's when she was in school. She remembers very well that after Xu Jing had some capital, the first direction he chose to start a business was comics. At that time, comics still didn't exist.

"Yes, only I believed Dong Ding's words." Xu Jing nodded, a trace of emotion flashed on his face, and said: "Dong Ding and I are of the same generation. When he was young, he was praised as a business genius, so I believe his vision... Now looking back, I really chose the right road."

Xu Jing was very glad that he seized the opportunity at the beginning. Without Dong Ding, he would not have been the phoenix of today.

However, the success of Phoenix is not only due to Dong Ding, but also the strategy of Phoenix company and the birth of cartoonist He Xi. Dong Ding puts forward the concept of comics, but he also limits comics to death -- Longteng's comics serve for novels.

In the past, in the difficult period of the development of comics, because Longteng limited the definition of comics to the copyright adaptation of novels, only it held the copyright and resources of many novels, other comics companies were basically dead. Phoenix company took the lead in putting forward the concept of original comics, which was able to survive, and ushered in the biggest opportunity of He Xi.

Therefore, although Xu Jing admired Dong Ding, he could not thank him, and even respected and hated him.

"Business genius, he's not that good." In the living room, the Spring Festival Gala was playing on the LCD TV. Alice asked the nanny to pour a cup of tea for Xu Jing and said, "although Dong Ding proposed the concept of comics, he only saw the benefits of novel adaptation, which is different from the current market."

"You are wrong." Xu Jing shook his head: "do you think Dong Ding can't see the original cartoon? No... on the contrary, I believe Dong Ding is the first person to realize the potential of original comics. The reason why he didn't do it was because he was limited by time and the original situation. "

In fact, looking back, Long Teng's strategy of adapting comic books from novels is right. Before the cartoonist He Xi appeared, the conditions for the rise of original comics were not mature.

At that time, there were no such talented cartoonists as He Xi. Even the total number of cartoonists was relatively small. Therefore, the development of original works was just a matter of muddling along. Longteng's strategy was to first use novel adaptation to cultivate the cartoon market, which was not wrong, not wrong at all, because it well stabilized the position of the largest cartoon publishing.

"Alice... Phoenix's success is due to Meng Huo." Xu Jing said with a smile: "without him, the comic industry now belongs to Longteng. Their conditions are most attractive to talents. Even if talented original cartoonists appear, they will probably enter their company. "

"In addition, the cartoonists of Yanjing University graduated one after another... Without Meng Huo, Longteng company will be able to firmly grasp the trend of the development of comics. They have the largest group of cartoonists, and the transformation of original comics will only be an internal matter and will not be interfered by outsiders."

However, who did not expect is that the world will suddenly run out of a cartoonist He Xi.

Thinking of this, Xu Jing couldn't help laughing. He Xi changed the future of the cartoon industry and destroyed the invincible prospect that Dong Ding had created for Longteng before he resigned.

But Alice still doesn't believe that Dong Ding can see the potential of original Comics: "is he really so powerful? You're not making it up, are you? "

"I didn't make it up. Dong Ding is much more powerful than you think..." Xu Jing took a sip of tea and continued, "I know another inside story. Even behind the establishment of Zhongxia company, Dong Ding was secretly suggesting something."

"Ah Alice was startled. "What's the matter?"

"Zhongxia company merged Longteng comic department immediately after its establishment. Do you think it's normal for no one to nod?"

Xu Jing frowned and said, "in fact, Zhongxia company was originally set up a few years later. Li Xin's first group of cartoon graduates were supposed to be handed over to Longteng comics... But because He Xi suddenly appeared, Dong Ding found that Longteng comics had no development prospects, so he advised those giants to speed up the establishment of Zhongxia, Let it be the fastest and strongest in the comic world. "When Zhongxia first appeared, it was invincible. Everyone thought it was invincible - but Zhongxia still didn't beat Fenghuang, which was funny. He Xi interrupted Dong Ding's strategy.

"Do you mean that the establishment of Zhongxia company was promoted by Dong Ding? I said, "Dad... You look up to him too much." Alice was not very happy: "I don't know Dong Ding very well, but I've heard some rumors about him. He started from scratch and was not born into a rich family... How can he persuade so many investors?"

She obviously didn't believe that Dong Ding was so powerful, but Xu Jing seemed to be chatting. He said with a smile, "do you think he is very ordinary? It's really bad that he was born, but I'll tell you one thing. First, you answer me, why do you think Longteng can become the overlord of the fiction world? "

"That's not easy. There are many financial giants behind it." Alice replied, and then, suddenly, she found a contradiction in her words. Strange... If Dong Ding is just a child born in an ordinary family, how can he become the founder of Longteng company invested by financial giants?

After Xu Jing's words, Alice was even more surprised. He said, "Alice, Longteng company was just an ordinary enterprise at the beginning. It didn't involve many investors."

"Ah Alice was surprised. "How could that be?"

"It's true..." at this time, her mother, who was sitting on one side, answered: "I know that in the first few years of Longteng's founding, it was just an ordinary company. In the golden age of novel development, the competition of publishing companies was very strong. Many investors saw the future potential of novels. Huaxia also had several companies with strong capital, Longteng is not outstanding at all. "

"But now, the Longteng family is the only one."

Xu Jing sneered and added: "this is the terrible thing about Dong Ding... He promoted the company he founded and entered the eyes of the capital tycoons. With his eloquence, performance ability and visionary vision, Dong Ding made the ordinary dragon become the sweet cake of the capital tycoons."

"In the following ten years, Longteng absorbed investment again and again, grew from small to large and grew rapidly. Then, in the hands of Dong Ding, Longteng defeated and embezzled all its more powerful competitors and monopolized nearly 90% of the writers and novel resources in China."

When Xu Jing finished the tea in his cup, there was a twinkle of awe in his eyes: "when Dong Ding was thirty or ten years old, he convinced investors with one reason at the beginning. That reason was that only he could become the overlord of Chinese Fiction... He did it. How many people in this world could be as confident as him?"

Alice is a little dry.

Unexpectedly, she had no idea that there was such a story. And after listening to this, Alice immediately understood the purpose of Dong Ding's appointment as president of Zhongxia new company - he wanted to repeat the glory of the novel industry in the cartoon industry, lead Zhongxia to defeat Phoenix, and let Zhongxia company monopolize the cartoon industry.

Dong Ding had ambition and ability when he was young. Now he has capital and contacts. It's really terrible!

"What should we do? Zhongxia company has several advantages over us." Alice was a little nervous: "now another Dong Ding is in power. From next year, isn't our company going to encounter the most terrible obstacle?"

Xu Jing is silent. He has been in awe of Dong Ding for decades. Up to now, he still thinks that Dong Ding is better than him and Meng Huo in terms of business ability. Coupled with Dong Ding's experience, contacts and other advantages, in any industry, Phoenix company will not have the strength to compete with Zhongxia company.

However, the two companies are not entirely in business, but are using commercial packaging culture and culture to decorate business

"Don't worry, our company hasn't lost yet." Xu Jing said with a smile: "I can't compare with Dong Ding, but you have to believe that Meng Huo's ability to create miracles... Although Dong Ding is powerful, Meng Huo's plan has been accidentally destroyed twice! Meng Huo is the most capable young man I've ever met. Dong Ding can't compete with him when he was young. If they compete face to face, it's really uncertain who will win or lose. "

"Say it again!" After a pause, Xu Jing finally said, "Meng Huo is still a cartoonist. He has an advantage that Dong Ding can't compete with, that is to say, the advantage of his works and fans. This must make Dong Ding feel very difficult..."

Alice was relieved to say the same thing, The most important thing for a cartoon company is the cartoon works: "then I have to inform Meng Huo about this."

"Today is new year's day, don't disturb that boy..." Xu Jing quickly stopped her, jokingly said: "I'm not in a hurry, how can you be more anxious than me!"
