Chapter 995

However, he still has a long time to think about it and doesn't need to be in a hurry.

Back to manga Island, that afternoon, Qin Ya saw Meng Huo, who came to work, and immediately said, "teacher, you have guests on the island, waiting for you for two days."

"Who?" Meng Huo asked.

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

According to Qin ya, Meng Huo, the director of Wuteng, knows only one person, that is, the director of Wuteng of the Go Association in the Far East. Besides, he doesn't know anyone whose surname is Wuteng. However, when hearing the identity of the guest, Meng Huo immediately lost interest.

"If it's for the sake of the suspension of qihun, you can send them off for me, just say I'm not free."

He said to Qin ya that it is certain that the publication of "the spirit of chess" will be closed, and Meng Huo can not change it again.

Qin Ya shook her head: "although they are here for this matter, you'd better go to meet them, teacher. At least they've been waiting for you for two days, and maybe... Teacher, you can find unexpected surprise in them."

"A surprise?"

Meng Huo looks at Qin Ya in an inquisitive way. However, Qin Ya smiles and never explains too much.

"This woman didn't mean to deceive me, did she?"—— This idea flashed through Meng Huo's mind. However, from his understanding of Qin ya, Qin Ya was not the kind of person who would lie in order to stop the publication of qihun.

And this kind of lie is too false. I can understand it as soon as I get in touch with curator taketo.

After a brief thought, Meng Huo decides to believe Qin ya. He is a little interested in the so-called surprise, so he tells Qin ya to reply to them and makes an appointment to meet the visiting chess players in a hotel in the evening.

After work in the afternoon, Meng Huo went back to take a bath, and then left for the hotel with Qin ya.

In the hotel, all the chess players headed by director Wu Teng have been seated. In addition to Wu Teng, Meng Huo also met the president of Su Hua's Chess Academy and several professional chess players who have dealt with each other - most of the guests are acquaintances, but few of them don't know each other.

"Why are you all here?" Meng Huo was surprised to have such a big battle: "I'm sorry, I left manga island for so many of you to wait for two days."

"It doesn't matter. It's our fault." Wu Teng's curator said with a bitter smile that He Xi's movement in the past two days is not a secret. If they pay a little attention, they will know He Xi is going to Yanjing to reply in advance.

"Teacher, Miss Qin, please sit down." The players warmly invited Meng Huo and Qin ya to the table. Qin Ya is the assistant of the spirit of chess, and her identity is not bad. Naturally, she will be in today's meeting.

After Meng Huo sat down, he asked, "is comic Island OK?"

"Not bad!"

"I feel fresh these two days."

The chess players did not wait for two days, enjoying the style of comic island.

"We come here to thank the teacher." After the greetings, curator Wu Teng said: "thanks to the launch of the spirit of chess, the development of Chinese go in less than two years has exceeded the sum of the past ten years, and the Go Association has successfully turned from a loss to a profit."

"Turn loss into gain?" Meng Huo was surprised: "didn't your local chess houses lower their prices this year?"

He has been following the trend of the Go Association. In the past two years, in order to increase the number of go enthusiasts, the Huaxia Go Association has greatly reduced the cost and price of the "chess hall", the main source of income. In every local city's chess hall, the consumption per hour is 1 to 2 yuan cheaper than the Internet bar.

Thanks to the implementation of this plan, the number of Chinese go enthusiasts is indeed growing rapidly, reaching the highest growth rate in 200 years. However, the daily maintenance cost of the chess hall is not low, and the low price is far from turning losses into profits while attracting fans.

"I remember reading a local report a few months ago." Qin Ya also broke in and said, "the daily maintenance cost of Suhua's chess house is still more than the income. Every month I have to seek subsidies from the association. Am I wrong?"

Her words made the president of Suhua's Chess Academy smile: "no, Miss Qin, you remember correctly. In fact, the operation of the Chess Academy is still a little bit at a loss. This situation may not be changed in the next one to two years."

"In order to keep the increasing speed of go fans, we will not change our low price strategy in two years." "Two years from now, if the effect will not be greatly reduced, it will probably continue," he added

"How did your association make money?" Meng Huo asked.

"Teacher, there are many ways to make money in our association, but it hasn't developed all the time."Curator Wuteng explained that with the popularity of "the spirit of chess" and the sharp reduction of the cost of local chess halls, the number of Chinese go enthusiasts showed a blowout trend, which also led to the business development of all aspects of the Go Association.

First of all, there are many kinds of go tutorial classes. In order to increase the understanding of go, a large number of enthusiasts and beginners are not satisfied with the elementary teaching provided by the chess hall, but have found a professional chess player's tutorial class - Huaxia go association can introduce and carry out the tuition of the tutorial class.

Subsequently, the increase of fans led to the increase of various competitions, which attracted many investors and shared the burden of competition operation and bonus. In the past two years, the sales volume of all kinds of go related books and tools has also grown explosively, becoming the main revenue of China Go Association.

"Just talking about chessboards, we now sell more chessboards every month than in the past year." Wu Teng sighed: "the price of chessboard with history and brand is even higher. In the past 10000 chessboards, now 30000 chessboards have been robbed."

With the recovery of go, the concept of go brand is also recovering. The prices of cultural relics with a sense of history are skyrocketing. Some chess players of Go Association have sold some useless cultural relics at home, and many millionaires have been born.

Qin Yating was stunned. Although she knew that the spirit of chess had brought great changes to the world of go, she did not expect that the changes would be so earth shaking.

"Don't you mean to flatter teacher He Xi?" She said with a suspicious face: "I don't feel that the reality has changed so much. There are not many people around me who go to cram school because of" the spirit of chess. "

When Meng Huo heard this, he looked at Qin Ya in astonishment. Just now, he thought that the surprise Qin Ya said was this thing, but seeing Qin ya like this, she said something else.

Wu Teng laughs: "Miss Qin, what time is it now? Not everything can see its popularity from the side. The biggest income of our association now comes not from reality, but from the Internet. "

"Network

"Yes, the Internet!"

Taketo explained that although offline cram schools and product sales are good, their operation on the Internet seems to be more successful. Nearly half of the tutorial classes are conducted online through video guidance, which greatly saves the cost, and it is easier to cooperate with the time of go enthusiasts, attracting more people to sign up.

Similarly, the Go Association has opened a "go mall" on the Internet to sell all kinds of props directly. There are many businesses recognized by the Go Association to sell them. The quality and service are guaranteed, and the sales volume is quite good.

Moreover, the association operates a go game platform, which combines online and offline. It often holds various competitions, and the game revenue of the platform itself is quite good.

"You have a modern game." Meng Huo was amazed to hear that the Go Association is not simple. The marketing tactics are quite smooth. The layout of Phoenix company's comics on the Internet is far inferior to them.

Moreover, it is only two years since the Go Association has been able to get through the online and offline games. When they continue to play for more than ten years, it is really possible that this activity will recover completely and become a national competitive activity.

"Because we have an excellent gold owner behind us..."

Director taketo said with a smile that he did not dare to say that today's all is the achievements of the Go Association. Professional chess players generally have no business brain. What makes today's miracle is the gold owners behind the association. As long as they provide an opportunity for its powerful think tanks, they can reactivate any sunset industry.

For Chinese go, the cartoon "chess soul" is such an opportunity.

"Mr. He Xi, I heard that you are going to stop the serial of chess soul?" Wuteng slowly put away his smile and became formal.

Meng Huo's mind came and nodded: "that's right, but if you want to persuade me, I think I'd better die... This is a confirmed thing, and I won't change this plan."

The president of Suhua Chess Academy then asked, "stop serialization means to stop for a period of time, not forever?"

Meng Huo nodded his head again. He just stopped serializing during his trip. When he came back from the outside world, he would soon resume the publication of qihun. The whole time of stopping serializing is unlikely to be more than half a year.

"It is." The president of Suhua Chess Academy showed a relaxed expression and said: "we really wanted to stop Mr. He Xi from suspending the publication. The spirit of chess is very important to our association. We are very worried about the impact it will bring after its suspension."

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

Director Wu Teng shakes his head. In the final analysis, the Go Association asks for He Xi in the cartoon "the spirit of chess", but He Xi has nothing to get from the Go Association - the identities of the two sides are not equal. The Go Association is in the weak position of negotiation, and they have been taken care of a lot. Now they are not qualified to ask for further.Moreover, after the investigation, they also found the reason why He Xi did so. The cartoonist used to work so hard that when the Go Association wanted to ask the editors of Phoenix company to persuade He Xi, no one agreed to do so.

This time, the comic book is not only the spirit of chess, but also the Phoenix company. However, even so, Phoenix company is willing to bear the loss and risk, give He Xi some rest time.

After investigating the inside story, the Go Association found that it was powerless and shameless to ask ho Xi to change his mind - so the biggest goal of their trip was another thing.

Meng Huo found that the topic was coming, so he couldn't help but cheer up.

However, Wu Teng didn't say the purpose immediately. Instead, he took out a thick document bag and handed it to Meng Huo.

"What is this?" Meng Huo curiously opened the file bag and pulled out the files inside. Then the title of the file at the top attracted him: "the transfer agreement of Huiyue studio?"

"Yes, Huiyue studio is the only animation studio in Huaxia's top ten animation studios that does not belong to Phoenix and Zhongxia." Wu Teng nodded and said, "we bought it. We want to give it to Mr. He Xi. I hope you can promise us one thing."

Huiyue studio, Meng Huo remembers this studio - it is an animation studio set up by a group of very talented painters. The standard is quite high, making several ordinary level cartoons into high return popular animations.

He knows this studio because Shen Jie and Alice have mentioned it before his eyes. It is also the old employer of the voice actors of the firm. Besides Phoenix company, Zhongxia company also wants to buy it several times.

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

"Is that the surprise?" Meng Huo turns to look at Qin ya. Qin Ya nods to him slightly. It seems that she knows about it in advance.

Meng Huo turned his eyes back to curator taketo: "how did you buy Huiyue studio?"

"We have some connections with this studio." Knowing what Meng Huo was thinking, curator taketo explained, "teacher, you don't have to worry about their non cooperation when you get them. We bought them by normal means with the consent of Huiyue studio."

The reason why I want to buy an animation studio for He Xi is that the Go Association has to do it. He Xi never liked to receive gifts. In the past, it was so troublesome to send a chessboard. They had to consider it from his point of view and give him something helpful.

Huiyue studio is really attractive to Meng Huo. He has specially seen the works of this studio, and the quality of its employees is no less than that of several other animation departments of Phoenix company. If it is in his hands to activate the potential of those employees, the effect may be another "island" studio.

Meng Huo knocked on the table with his fingers and thought for a moment, "what do you want me to promise?"

After hearing Meng Huo's words, Wu Teng immediately knew that they had chosen the right gift this time. He was relieved. Then he straightened up his posture and said, "Teacher He Xi, have you ever considered the animation of the spirit of chess..."

This is their dream. However, they have to wait for He Xi to animate a certain cartoon, No one knows when it will be - it's better to fight for it earlie
