Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Lao Huo liked children very much. Looking at the group of energetic children, he felt the continuation of life.

After retiring, with nothing to do, Lao Huo opened a toy store. He set the price very low, and he wanted to have fun, not to make any money. Occasionally, when he sees some unqualified children at home, he will give him a few toys.

Because of his good reputation, good quality and low price, although it is only a small shop, the business is good.

There are usually no people in the morning, but when people get old, they feel less. Lao Huo got up early, swept the floor, and rearranged the neatly placed toys, just like his children.

jingle!

The bell hanging on the door reminds Lao Huo that there are guests coming.

Lao Huo came out from the pile of shelves at the back, holding a feather duster in his hand for cleaning dust.

"Eh? Little Ma, come here so early, what's the matter?"

I saw that it was a young father from a nearby community who often came here to buy toys for his son, and Lao Huo knew him very well.

"Isn't my son clamoring for a toy called a four-wheel drive..." Xiao Ma looked around, and then asked Lao Huo, "Do you have a four-wheel drive here?"

"Four-wheel drive?" Lao Huo muttered suspiciously, and walked over.

What is a four-wheel drive?

After opening a toy store for so long, he had never heard of such a thing.

"Can you tell me what it is?" Lao Huo continued to ask. Children always call toys in a mess, and they often sell toys. Lao Huo has seen this situation a lot.

For example, the most popular dolls in the store are Doraemon, Pikachu, and Yagumon.

Tell Lao Huo the name, Lao Huo can't tell which is which. Because in his eyes. These are dolls.

"It looks like a car toy, a little longer than the palm of your hand..." Pony recalled the appearance of the thing his son showed him, and stroked it for old Huobi.

Lao Huo took the pony to the shelf of toy cars, and took one down casually: "Is this one?"

Xiao Ma shook his head after seeing it: "That's not a model. It can run."

"What about this one?" Lao Huo took another one,

Xiao Ma looked at it, but still shook his head: "That one is powered by a battery, and cannot be remotely controlled..."

While talking, Xiao Ma looked around and said to Lao Huo: "You don't have these here. Are there any others?"

Lao Huo inserted the boxes of two toy cars into the shelf, wondering: "I don't dare to say that the toys here are the most complete, but the more popular toy cars on the market are on the shelves. If there are none here, then I will It's gone."

After rearranged, Lao Huo turned around and said to Xiao Ma: "Does it still have to be that kind? An electric car that can't be remote controlled. What's so fun about it? Why don't you take this remote controlled car home and let your son play with it, say I might like it."

Xiao Ma smiled wryly and shook his head: "Hey, that kid only wants a four-wheel drive, and he wants to be a superstar by name... By the way, this seems to be a cartoon just published by Porter, you know that?"

Lao Huo suddenly realized. He nodded and said, "I know, I know, the most popular toys are those related to comics. Especially the brick mover..."

"It's a porter." Pony corrected.

Lao Huo knocked his head and smiled: "It's the same, it's the same, it's all moving anyway. Toys related to his comics are the best-selling, and my price is so low, relying on him to make more money every month than before. A lot of money. Talking, I also read his comics, really good. Simple and easy to understand. Children like it and can learn a lot."

Lao Huo sighed in admiration, and then continued: "By the way, didn't you just say four-wheel drive? Why do you want a superstar again?"

"The emperor superstar is the name of a four-wheel drive drawn by the porter in the cartoon..."

Lao Huo shook his head, it was a weird name again. Anyway, I couldn't remember, so I said to Xiao Ma: "Can you explain this in more detail? I'll see where there are such toys later, and I'll go wholesale."

Xiao Ma took out his mobile phone and directly opened the saved "Four Wheels Boy" webpage. The catalog shows exquisite icons of each four-wheel drive in the work.

"This is it." Xiao Ma pointed to the four-wheel drive on the phone screen and said.

Lao Huo picked up the reading glasses and looked at it carefully: "...it looks similar to a remote control car."

"Anyway, it's called a four-wheel drive. By the way, you must wholesale the emperor superstar... If you don't have any, you can also sprint to the shooting star, which is the one on this picture. My kid said, as long as These two, and nothing else." Xiao Ma showed pictures of two four-wheel drive vehicles.

Lao Huo nodded: "Okay, no problem! As long as there is something to sell, I can wholesale it back next week at the latest."

"Then please! I won't go to other stores to look for it. I'll wait for your good news...I'll treat you to dinner later!"

The same scene is happening all over the country. There are voices looking for four-wheel drive everywhere, but without exception, no one buys it... because Tianman hasn't started production yet.

The expansion of Tianman Toy Factory, whether it is workers or production lines, is not accomplished overnight.

The launch of "Four-Wheel Boy" first made the four-wheel drive popular, and then Tianman announced that this toy would be made by Tianman, and began to accept orders from major toy dealers.

With Tianman's current reputation, everyone still trusted Tianman very much, so the orders came like snowflakes.

And Zhou Zhe also used the deposit paid in advance from the order to purchase production lines, recruit workers, or directly purchase some small toy factories.

It can be said that the expansion of Tianman Toy Factory was realized without paying a penny.

He Chen remembered that there was a very powerful and professional term used to describe this kind of situation - hunger marketing. In layman's terms, it's an empty glove white wolf.

This kind of influence also makes some other people eager to move.

This is the first time I heard that toys can also play hunger marketing.

"Hello, Mr. He, Mr. Xiao He, master porter, I am Tian Feng, and I run a small toy factory. This is my business card." A middle-aged man in his forties handed his business card to He respectfully. morning.

This person was brought by Zhou Zhe when he reported the recent work progress to He Chen. He had cooperated with Tianman during the period of "Doraemon". This time, he had something to discuss with He Chen, and after Zhou Zhe obtained He Chen's consent, he brought him here.

The super maid Mamiko went to school, and Ling Yan also belonged to the kind of iceberg who never entertained strangers, so the job of entertaining fell on He Chen.

This long-lost sense of familiarity touched He Chen deeply - the days with Mamiko are so comfortable!

He Chen took it calmly, and took a look at it. There were many titles before his name on the business card.

The first feeling in He Chen's heart was vulgarity. I don't know who I heard it said, the less titles people have, the more powerful they are.

If He Chen were to design it for himself, there would definitely be only three things left: name, pseudonym, and personal phone number.

It's better to inlay the business card with gold. You don't need to say anything at that time, as long as you shine the business card, the aura will be absolutely awesome!

However, if you put gold on the business card, will it look too prodigal and too upstart?

He Chen brainstormed about the beautiful picture, and suddenly felt that he couldn't hold back that aura. Immediately, he felt that ordinary paper business cards were better, low-key and connotation were his attributes.

"I heard from Zhou Zhe that you want to discuss things with me?" Pulling his mind back, He Chen asked Tian Feng.

"Yeah!" Tian Feng nodded and said, "I hope you can draw a cartoon of my product!"

"Your product? Drawing comics? Didn't you already cooperate in "Doraemon"?"

Tian Feng explained: "It's not like "Doraemon", it's like "Four Drivers Boy"! With the product as the theme, everything revolves around the product."

The advertising methods of the two are very different.

To put it bluntly, "Doraemon" is an advertisement embedded in comics, while "Four Drivers Boy" is an advertisement embedded in comics.

This is a very pure commercial comic that only promotes four-wheel drive vehicles.

When Tian Feng said this, He Chen understood.

He also wants to learn the model of "Boys with Four Wheel Drive".

"What is your product? Can you tell me? I have to see if I can sell it." He Chen asked.

Any theme can produce comics, but if it is not counted as a system update, He Chen has limited creativity in his mind. Without this theme, He Chen can't do anything.

"Our main business is model toys. What do you think of the theme of remote control racing cars?"

Remote Control Racing...

"I can't do anything about it for the time being." He Chen could only regret it.

Tian Feng hoped that the products that He Chen would draw would be either remote-controlled cars, remote-controlled airplanes, or remote-controlled boats, which put He Chen under a lot of pressure.

He doesn't have any good ideas in his memory, the only one that impresses him is Jian Niang. But the ship girl's human form, other than her name, has nothing to do with the ship, so He Chen had no choice but to give up.

In the end, no matter how generous Tian Feng offered He Chen, He Chen had no choice but to refuse. This was not something he could do if he wanted to. Tian Feng was extremely disappointed that he couldn't get the comic endorsed by He Chen himself. Before leaving, he asked He Chen for more than a dozen autographs, saying that they were for relatives who admired He Chen.

It made He Chen feel very sorry.

After Tian Feng left, Zhou Zhecai said: "The sponsorship he is going to give is very generous. It's a pity that you don't paint."

In Zhou Zhe's eyes, there is no subject that He Chen can't paint, and He Chen's refusal has only one meaning - he doesn't want to paint.

He Chen couldn't explain this misunderstanding.

"I still have so many unfinished things. If you are interested, you can contact my assistant or other famous cartoonists on the website to see who has an idea. If you can negotiate, this sponsorship is also Give them points."

"That's right." Zhou Zhe thought for a while, the most important thing about Tianman was He Chen's own comics, everything else was secondary.

Immediately, he smiled and shook his head again: "Only what you draw can have this value. If someone else draws, it will be greatly discounted." (To be continued.
