Chapter 525 Professor Chen Begins
Chapter 525 Professor Chen Begins
"I was shocked when I went there last time. There were so many middle school students wearing COS costumes and shopping at the Little Prince store." Li Guyuan said, "I thought it was a special day, but when I asked, I found out it was the weekend. Every weekend, many students dress up and go shopping in the store."
Oh, about this, Gu Lu knows that since Hanfu has become a daily routine, COS has also become a daily routine. During holidays, you can dress up as someone you like and go out to eat and party with friends.
"Besides, your novels, TV dramas and movies adapted from them are also jobs," Li Guyuan said. "If you really want a goal to work towards, then open a few more Little Prince flagship stores."
That makes sense! As his personal influence grew, the tentacles of peripheral development also spread to all aspects. For example, he just acquired some copyrights of Studio Ghibli, mainly the cooperation of "The Borrowers". Gu Lu heard that Hayao Miyazaki was going to retire and wanted to sell it. At that time, he negotiated at Neon TV.
With the financial resources of Gu Lu Little Prince Culture Company, it is completely possible to acquire the company in full, but the acquisition was stopped by Neon...
"Let's set a small goal and open up all the provincial capitals!" said Gu Lu.
"I'm really looking forward to it. By the way, you must keep my request in mind." Li Guyuan said, "Let's chat and play together. If we have time, we can talk about it next time."
"That's right. We'll meet again when I return to Fog City this year." Gu Lu didn't persuade him any more. He would not be a guest at Little Prince Day this year, but he would go as a tourist.
Send away the dumplings.
King Gollum was thinking about the Little Prince flagship store. Currently, the flagship store has two core IPs, The Little Prince and Flatland.
I won’t talk about the former, which is a peripheral giant. The latter is a stationery series. Pinglinguo’s stationery is very popular and even affects the stock price of a certain stationery chain store.
"Less than thirty for a flagship store is still a bit too few..." Gu Lu pondered.
The only way is to develop more IPs and expand the stores so that more employees can be hired.
"Love Letter, The Lord of the Rings, The Wandering Earth, it's time." Gu Lu thought and decided to change the name when the time comes.
The Little Prince flagship store is not comprehensive enough, and the Gu Lu flagship store? Not suitable either.
Sure enough, no matter how a person who is good at naming evolves, he is still a person who is bad at naming.
On the way home from the airport, Gu Lu looked at the reviews of the flagship store on the Internet.
[The copyright of Prince Store is really cheap. A certain boutique co-branded Harry Potter and sold a cloak of average quality for 688. My God, you are really brave to sell it. The cost is less than 88, right?]
[Hahaha, the guy in the store is so nice. Last time I suggested that New World should have aromatherapy peripherals, and this time I went there they were directly available.]
[Ahhh I don't believe it, you are all liars, unless you open one in Hong Kong.]
[When will the fox pillow return? It's selling so well, so why won't it be sold anymore?]
……
Lots of good reviews.
The negative reviews mainly focus on the fact that there are too few stores.
As for the complaints about the high prices, Gu Lu ignored them because the prices in the Little Prince flagship store are not as expensive as those in foreign countries, and are not expensive compared to domestic prices.
"There are many tourists from Hong Kong and Taiwan who buy things on behalf of others. It's also because the consumption levels in these two places are not right." Gu Lu sent a message to ask Guo Dafa a question.
After a while, the other party gave the answer.
Guo Dafa: [Last year, the two books "From the New World" and "A Man Called Ove Decides to Die" were at the top of the sales charts in both places. In terms of popularity, there is no problem.]
OK, then can we open the flagship store there?
More than forty minutes later, Gu Lu returned home.
When he got home, Gu Lu took out another backup phone and found out the phone number - Boss Zhang. He was a man he met at a certain event of Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Fog City. They didn't chat much during normal times, just sending greetings on holidays.
"Boss Zhang is ten years older than me, so he is thirty-five this year." Gu Lu thought.
A boss in the car business represented many luxury cars. He wanted to get a few cars to solve the problem of Tangyuan's wedding car.
Gu Lu didn't ask for help for nothing, he had to pay for it. He just asked someone he knew to make the arrangements easier.
"No wonder the weather is so good today. It turned out that it was Teacher Gu who called me." Boss Zhang said with a very good attitude.
It would be strange for him to have a bad attitude when the person on the other end of the conversation is more famous, richer and more powerful than his family.
After explaining the whole story, Gu Lu said, "We don't need a wedding car that's too exaggerated or too high-profile, but it can't be of low quality. We need to earn face, but we can't steal the limelight and become the most eye-catching thing in the wedding. Aren't my requirements a bit contradictory?"
"There is no contradiction, it's very clear. I fully understand it," said Mr. Zhang.
Do you understand? Gu Lu's eyes widened. Is this true?
Gu Lu said doubtfully, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhang."
"No, no, no. What do you mean by trouble? It's my luck that Teacher Gu gave me this opportunity." Mr. Zhang said.
Gu Lu exchanged pleasantries with him for a while and then hung up the phone.
That’s all about domestic affairs for now. Let’s talk about foreign affairs and see how Professor Chen, an authoritative scholar in Gu studies, went to Berlin to give lectures.
In addition to the seven people from the round table meeting, there were also more than 20 other members of the Strict Education Committee attending the lecture. Mainly, the leading few people began to admire Gu Lu, and the others were sure to follow suit.
"Why do I say that Gu Lu's creations are first-rate and rare in the world? I'm not trying to brag about my own people. Let me give you an example—"
"I interviewed Gu Lu's junior high school teacher, Mr. Li Riyao."
Professor Chen specially used a marker to write the Chinese and pinyin of Li Riyao on the small whiteboard. This is necessary. Guxue is a subject, and any information needs to be detailed!
"Mr. Gu Lu's first work is "The Bus Driver Who Wants to Be God". I translated it into German before I came here. You can take a look at it."
Opportunities come to those who are prepared, so those who don’t have opportunities should not prepare blindly. Professor Chen is a person with opportunities, and he sent the manuscript to everyone present.
The story of the bus driver who wanted to be God has some Christian overtones, and Professor Han Wen's translation was also excellent, so I read it very fluently and understood what the article was trying to express.
"It is a short story written by Gu Lu when he was 15 years old and published in Geschichte."
As soon as Professor Chen finished speaking, everyone exclaimed, "Is this the work of a fifteen-year-old?"
"The inspiration came from Gu Lu's math teacher, Ms. Yan Xiyue, who said, 'There are 40 students in the class, and if each of them waits for you for one minute, that's more than half an hour. Why don't you hurry back to your seat?'"
There was no fool among the people present. Or, Conis, Bed and others reacted immediately.
The article just now——
[If, for example, opening the door for someone who is late would only take less than thirty seconds, and not opening the door means that the person will end up losing fifteen minutes of their life (on a fifteen-minute train), then it is still more fair to society as a whole not to open the door, because opening the door would cause each passenger on the bus to lose thirty seconds...]
"I believe you have already thought of it, that's right. This short story comes from a sentence of the teacher." Professor Chen took the opportunity to give a possible answer.
ha?
