Chapter 389: Reception

Masayoshi Kishimoto rested for the day at the hotel where he was staying. At eight o’clock in the evening of the next day, the reception for which a series of invitations had been sent out was held as scheduled in the hotel where he was staying.

Those who were able to attend were naturally the most prominent figures in Shanghai’s business community. One of them not only arrived early, but also showed some trepidation.

Chen Tianqiao of Shanda Network started his business in 1999. Even after a year’s time, his company did not come into prominence, and on the contrary, it was not doing well.

He was a former school master, but now he was just a nobody in Shanghai’s business world. When he received this invitation letter from Hard Gold Group, he was stunned.

He was not sure why the other party would invite him to attend such an important business event. He knew deep down that it was useless to think too much. Perhaps, this was an opportunity for himself.

So, he came prepared in his suit and with his hair neatly combed. He had prepared himself with a ten-minute presentation of his business project.

When the time came, Masayoshi Kishimoto walked into the reception surrounded by his own people. This wasn’t just a walk-through, it was a necessary social event.

Who would not be busy if they showed up here? If they were to take the time to come over and attend, they wouldn’t have come if it was just to eat and drink!

The reason why they came over is not to figure out what a vain thing to do. At the cocktail party, we get to know each other, chat a little, probe and exchange relevant business intelligence.

If we have a good conversation, then we will talk a little bit more in depth. There is a chance that they will reach a mutual understanding and then complete an investment.

Kishimoto justice at the beginning will not directly rushed to Chen Tianqiao to go, but one by one met the Shanghai Bund business community of some big men. They are able to call the shots, which is often referred to as the background person.

Shanghai Bund this some business bigwigs appreciate the face to come, that is also for his own this a Japanese hard gold plutocrat title. It made perfect sense to expand the necessary contacts.

Some of them have investments in Tokyo, and more or less in other major cities in Japan. The business world is not too concerned about seniority and seniority, but the most important place to look at strength.

Chen Tianqiao see no opportunity, on the one hand, patiently continue to wait to be able to see the needle, on the other hand is proactive to their business cards are presented to the hands of these business leaders in Shanghai Bund one by one.

Masayoshi Kishimoto took the initiative to walk towards Chen Tianqiao, extending his right hand and said: “Hello. I am Masayoshi Kishimoto, the chairman of the Hard Gold Group.”

Chen Tianqiao first froze for a moment, then quickly recovered. He had completely failed to expect that such a big shot like the other party would take the initiative to greet him. He similarly extended his right hand. The two hands directly shook together.

“I didn’t expect you to speak Chinese so well.” Chen Tianqiao said matter-of-factly.

Masayoshi Kishimoto just smiled and said, “You’re not the first person to praise me for speaking Chinese well. I like talking to people around my own age.

It’s people of the same age that have more common language. Older people are too conservative in their thinking and still lack a positive and optimistic attitude towards the development of the Internet.

The topics they talk to me about are focused on real estate projects, while the topic I really want to talk about is the Internet aspect.”

“My company is exactly engaged in Internet-related. At the moment, our main business is focused on cartoons. My conception is to create the Disney of China.

Or anime industry like Japan. In mainland China this piece of field above, can not be said to be blank, also has huge development potential and space ……” Chen Tianqiao seized the opportunity is to begin to talk eloquently said.

Kishimoto justice did not wait for him to finish his words directly interrupted: “You this one idea is very good, but too forward. Forward thinking is not a good thing.

The reason why China’s Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan can have their own characteristics of comics, as well as the establishment of a corresponding industrial chain, that is based on an important environment lies in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan’s young people not only in the early days of Japan, Europe and the United States in terms of the influence of animation, but also their pockets have money, the popularity of family computers is also high.

In mainland China, as far as I know, the pocket money of teenagers is pitifully low or even almost non-existent. Even home computers are not popular today, how do you expect them to spend their money?

Go to Internet cafes? An hour’s Internet access fee is also a burden to them. You’re additionally asking them to pay another fee to read comics, not very realistic!

It’s these people that are your real target group. You can’t have people who don’t use the internet coming online to watch cartoons on your site, can you?

In their minds, instead of spending the money they’d spend on paying to read cartoons online on this one thing, they’d rather buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke. They’ll feel more comfortable and cozy.

Furthermore, have you ever gone to an Internet cafe and conducted an actual survey? How many of those teenagers are reading comics online?

It’s almost exclusively playing computer games. My advice to you is to transform into computer games and online games.

Otherwise, your company is doomed. If you accept this one suggestion of mine to transform your main business, I can make a venture capital investment in your company. This is by no means a joke.”

He said these words, not without basis. Even if China currently has an established small circle of animation lovers, it is still under the water.

In their hearts, even if they liked this kind of thing, they wouldn’t spend any money. People who can spend money are either avid fans or from wealthy families.

The former scrimp and save for their interests and hobbies, even eating only one meal a day. The latter would just fly to Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan.

The cultivation of this market has to be based on the rapid development of mainland China’s economy. Material are not yet fully satisfied, that come to consider the spirit of paying to enjoy it?

I know very well, Shanghai has a secondary yuan of a consumer market, that is also in one or two decades after the thing. This is mainly due to the influence of Japanese animation culture.

Of course, the most important thing is based on the consumer group’s pockets have money, will have the purchasing power, resulting in the formation and development of the market. The main beginning is from the 80s.

Nowadays, if a person goes out on the street wearing second generation clothes, he or she is guaranteed to be regarded as a mental patient. This is a huge contrast to what it will be like one or two decades from now. china joy’s first edition was held in Beijing in 2004, four years later.

Chen Tianqiao immediately showed his dumbfounded side. He originally thought that his conception was very good, but he did not expect to be criticized by the other side.

He did not in his heart unconvinced, after all, Kishimoto justice is completely said to the root of the above. After all, Masayoshi Kishimoto had hit the nail on the head. It was true that he himself had not gone into the Internet cafes on the streets of Shanghai to do any serious fieldwork.
