Chapter 529 Purchase of a Private Jet
The plot of "Dragon Ball" is quite long, but Yang Wendong is not in a hurry and explains the content slowly; however, it is just a framework, and he does not remember many specific details. In the future, he can only rely on the content team to optimize it by themselves;
The content team in Hong Kong will definitely be different from that in Japan, but it doesn’t matter. It’s actually better this way. The story foundation of "Dragon Ball" itself is "Journey to the West" in Chinese culture, so it’s better to be biased towards Chinese culture.

After talking about the martial arts conference, he could no longer talk about the specific details of the battle, so he said: "For the subsequent martial arts conference, you can discuss among yourselves;

Fighting is not something you are good at, so you can go to Changxing Film Company and ask Zou Wenhuai to arrange some martial artists to study it together."

The original work by Akira Toriyama was actually lost after the martial arts tournament, but the IP was so popular that the capitalists launched the Super Saiyan in order to maximize their profits.
Actually, it is not a problem to create a Super Saiyan. Just make the content good, even if it is not as good as the previous one, as long as it is not bad and can make the audience watch it interesting and exciting, that is enough. It is just a pity that the plot of Super Saiyan is okay at the beginning, but it is a bloody collapse at the end.
In this life, Yang Wendong is not sure whether Hong Kong will make a sequel, but at least he will work on it seriously and strive for a good ending so that people who like Dragon Ball can have a good ending.

After listening to this, Wu Hailin and others asked, "Mr. Yang, I'm worried that many people in the market will not be able to accept such a strange background setting."

Although the boss's deeds over the years have hardly failed, Yang Wendong has also become the spiritual pillar of Changxing Group. Even though some people did not believe in his decisions at the beginning, they were successful in the end;

However, as company management, although they must execute the boss's orders, it is also acceptable to have some questions, and Yang Wendong welcomes this.

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "It is possible that you may not be able to adapt, but as long as the content is good, there will definitely be a market for it. You can try it first."

In fact, in the original history, when Akira Toriyama started to launch "Dragon Ball", it was not considered a big hit. Many people could not accept this inexplicable setting, but later the content conquered those who insisted on watching it, and then word of mouth spread. In addition, Akira Toriyama also specially launched "Martial Arts Tournament", which further ignited the comics market.

So he was not in a hurry, just make the content first, and then take care of the copyright;

Seeing the boss say this, Wu Hailin agreed: "Okay, Mr. Yang, then we will start telling the story according to your requirements, and the comics team will start drawing the various characters."

"Okay, come to my office directly after you finish these." Yang Wendong nodded.

He had to review many of the comic company's characters, images, plots, etc. It wasn't that they had to be the same as in his previous life, but for safety reasons, it was better to have something similar.

The production of a long comic strip requires a long time to prepare. Only when all aspects are confirmed can large-scale drawing begin;

Therefore, Yang Wendong did not need to pay too much attention in the short term. He only needed to wait until they had some results and then come to him for consultation and review.

Time soon arrived at the beginning of April;

On this day, Zhou Haoran came to Yang Wendong's office happily and reported: "Mr. Yang, our Coke is selling very well in the Middle East, and their distributors have repeatedly asked us to ship it earlier."

"Haha, this is good news." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "As for production capacity, has the factory made any arrangements?"

"It's arranged. I have already started producing Fanta Cola on two production lines that are OEM for PepsiCo." Zhou Haoran replied.

Yang Wendong asked: "Will the orders from Pepsi Cola be affected?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, “There is a little impact, but I am still adding equipment. Now at Dongsheng, except for the large stamping machines at the front end, we can make all other production lines by ourselves, so the speed of adding equipment is much faster.

Moreover, Pepsi also has a factory in Japan, and such large companies generally have the ability to adjust production capacity.”

"That's good." Yang Wendong nodded and asked, "What about Red Bull? How is the car factory that was previously announced to enter Japan going?"

Zhou Haoran said: "It was a success. We gave some benefits to the purchasing administrative departments of Toyota and Honda factories and asked them to send our drinks in. However, we cannot let the factories buy them directly. Instead, we gave them a position and let the employees choose for themselves.

It may also be because our drinks are expensive, so not many people buy them. Most Japanese workers are still happy to buy Coke, which is much cheaper than ours. "

"We will be successful if we enter the market first." Yang Wendong said, "We can take our time later."

Zhou Haoran said, "Mr. Yang, according to the current preliminary data, the best market for Red Bull is still Europe and the United States. It is difficult for Asia, even Japan, to afford it." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Yes, I know, but don't worry, you should build the channel as soon as possible and operate it. I will invest heavily in publicity."

In its previous life, Red Bull was willing to invest in advertising, and even for many years it did not expect to make a profit, it would invest whenever it had money;

Yang Wendong actually agrees with this strategy. Just like the early development of Internet companies, don’t think about making profits. The most important thing is to get the market as soon as possible and let consumers know.
Especially the traditional beverage giants such as Coca-Cola, Nestle and Pepsi, which may rush in at any time, then we can only show the red knife to scare them away and let them know that even if they burn money, they will lose money in the end;
Finally, Red Bull succeeded.

Zhou Haoran said: "The channels in the United States are already being built, especially in big cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Detroit."

"Okay, then we'll start by promoting it within the city." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Find local newspapers and local TV stations to advertise more intensively, and then arrange for distributors to go after young people, especially college students. We can see the effect of the promotion."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. How about choosing Detroit?"

"No need, let's go to Los Angeles. I'm planning to go to the United States and I'd like to take a look at Red Bull's achievements." Yang Wendong said.

Although Changxing Group has not yet reached its limit in Hong Kong, with today's scale, the future development speed will inevitably be very slow. In addition, with some capital, it is time to invest overseas;
The United States is naturally the first target, as it has the largest market and many electronics companies with great future potential;

However, as a capital party, you cannot just make money in the United States without spending money. When the scale of such a game is small, the Americans may not care, but if the scale is too large, it is not so good; even if the Americans in this era do not do anything directly in order to protect the principle of "free trade", if you want to consider the long term, you still have to invest appropriately in the United States;
Of course, I won’t consider the factory for now. I may invest a little more in it when I can make high-profit products.
This time, the purpose of going to the United States is naturally to invest in more meaningful industries.

On April 4, Yang Wendong took Su Yiyi and many of the company's senior executives to the United States, but not to Los Angeles, but to Seattle;
On the plane, Yang Wendong was reading a newspaper. The stewardess brought him a glass of orange juice. Su Yiyi took a sip and asked, "Brother Dong, are you really going to buy a plane?"

"Why not? Airplanes aren't very expensive." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

Su Yiyi said: "I just think that with the current frequency of our travel, we don't need to buy one ourselves, right? Isn't it the same to rent one from Cathay Pacific?"

"That was a few years ago. Now I have more and more businesses, many of which are overseas. I will travel more frequently in the future." Yang Wendong said: "Only if I have my own aircraft can I maintain it stably and long-term, which can better ensure safety."

Ten years before the time travel, he mainly developed in Hong Kong, laid a solid foundation, and became a commercial overlord in Hong Kong. However, the fish in the fish pond are limited by the area of ​​water;
In the next ten years, it will be natural to go abroad. This is the characteristic of any capital. In the past, many Hong Kong capitals also went overseas. The most famous one is Lao Li. No matter what his character is like, he is very successful in business.

Therefore, he will inevitably travel a lot in the future. Whether for convenience, safety, enjoyment, etc., he should buy his own plane, which his family can also use.

Su Yiyi looked at the information in her hand and asked, "So are you planning to buy this new Boeing 737?"

"Yes, I am optimistic about this plane." Yang Wendong nodded with a smile.

He was not very familiar with aircraft prior to the 737, and since demand was low, he had never bought one;

By the time the Boeing 1967 had its successful test flight in 737 and went on sale in 68, the market feedback was very good. In addition, this was a legendary aircraft in its previous life, so Yang Wendong was naturally optimistic about this model.

Su Yiyi laughed again and said, "If Hong Kong knew that you bought a private jet, I wonder what the reaction would be?"

"Private jets are not surprising, but converting commercial jets into private jets is rare in the world now." Yang Wendong added: "Usually only heads of state do this."

Many people in Europe and America also have airplanes, but they are all small, flying within America and Europe, and can park on small aprons, which is very convenient;
If Yang Wendong lived in Europe or the United States, he would not need to consider a large business jet. This small plane would be more suitable. However, since the journey from Hong Kong could easily reach thousands of miles, he could only choose a business jet.

After the plane arrived in Seattle, Boeing sent a vice president, Levis, to meet the plane and then take it to the hotel to rest.

The next day, Levis brought Yang Wendong and his team to the Boeing production workshop in Seattle.
