Chapter 1370 Naruto and One Piece!

Yang Ming believes that he has a clear conscience, and this is all he can do.

No matter how big it is, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to change it.

At this time, when many people were attracted by the domestic policy of opening up the Northeast, the Governor's Office of Hong Kong, the last Governor of Hong Kong.

It was also the previous Governor Zhong Yijie.

Under Yang Ming's strong recommendation and network of relationships, Zhong Yijie finally served as the next Governor of Hong Kong again, and also the last Governor of Hong Kong.

At this time, Zhong Yijie officially took office, and when he took office, he released a very important plan.

In fact, at the New Year's Eve dinner, Yang Ming had mentioned to him that it was about establishing Hong Kong's own Central Park.

And the location of Hong Kong's own Central Park is now Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport.

However, now all international flights of Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport have been moved to Hong Kong's new international airport, and now Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport only has flights to domestic flights.

However, according to the current development, all domestic flights will be moved to Hong Kong's new international airport next year.

This means that this piece of land is located in the center of Victoria Harbour and Kowloon, and it is also a very valuable piece of land, so it will be auctioned.

That is what many real estate consortiums in Hong Kong think.

Historically, the old land of Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport was also divided up by real estate developers, mainly from the four major families in Hong Kong, through gradual auctions.

But now the appearance of Yang Ming has made it clear to many real estate developers in Hong Kong that as long as the Empire Group takes action, they basically have no chance.

Although the Empire Group has now created a larger Hong Kong by blasting mountains and reclaiming land on Lantau Island, for Hong Kong with an increasing population, there is still a lot of people and little land.

However, at this time, the Governor's Office announced a news that shocked many people in Hong Kong.

That is, the land of Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport will not be auctioned to become high-end commercial housing or office buildings and shopping malls.

Instead, it will become a central park comparable to New York's Central Park.

This news, as soon as it came out, immediately shocked many Hong Kong citizens, even those real estate developers in Hong Kong.

After all, how could it be possible that the Governor's Office was willing to use such a big piece of fat to build the Central Park of Hong Kong?

Later, someone learned that this plan was proposed by Sir Yang, and it had been proposed long ago.

In other words, the Governor's Office turned this piece of land into the Central Park of Hong Kong because of Sir Yang's relationship.

Because of this news, Yang Ming once again appeared on the front pages of major newspapers in Hong Kong.

At this time.

Yang Ming and Alina, Yingla, He Chaoxuan, Lin Xiuzhi and others took a car to Clearwater Bay.

There are large villa areas in Clearwater Bay.

TVB bosses Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua usually live in a villa here in Clearwater Bay.

However, the headquarters of the Second Dimension Company under the Empire Group is in Clearwater Bay. In addition, the Clearwater Bay Comics Studio and several Clearwater Bay comics weekly, including the comics weekly published in Japan, are all from here.

In fact, this place has long been one of the major comic centers in Hong Kong and even the world.

A large industrial chain has been formed here, which is basically related to comics and even comic derivatives.

After the emergence of the bubble economy in Japan, it has had a great impact on many industries in Japan, including manufacturing and even high-tech industries such as semiconductors.

However, in terms of comics, it has a greater role in promoting Japan.

Because for many Japanese people, they simply cannot do without comics.

In addition to comic books and weekly comics, there are also anime adapted from comics, anime movies, and even a series of related derivatives.

For the increasing number of otakus and otakus in Japan, it appeared after the start of the bubble economy in Japan.

And comics play an increasingly important role in their lives.

After the Empire Group first gained the Japanese comics market through Dragon Ball, Detective Conan, etc., it gradually monopolized the Japanese comics market, and its market share and influence in Asia and even the world are increasing.

This time, when Yang Ming brought Lin Xiuzhi and others to the headquarters of the Qingshui Bay Second Dimension Company, Lan Shaojun, the general manager of the Second Dimension Group, was already waiting.

Lan Shaojun, who was still in her twenties at the time, is now in her thirties. Of course, the other party is already the number one in global comics, especially in Japanese comics.

When Yang Ming arrived, Lan Shaojun and the executives of the Second Dimension Company hurriedly welcomed Yang Ming in.

In recent years, the influence of the comics under the Empire Group has been growing, especially in the markets of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, and the popularity has been increasing.

Among them, those comics can be directly published as comic books, comic weekly, pocket comics, and can also be adapted into games, anime TV series, anime movies, anime character toys, anime joints, etc.

The Second Dimension Company and the Empire Game Company, and even other companies under it, cross-cooperate with each other.

It can be said that the wealth brought is getting bigger and bigger, and the influence is getting bigger and bigger.

In China, it cooperates with the Shencheng Art Film Studio and has achieved very good results in the mainland.

In addition, the Japanese comics are adapted into Chinese comics, Hong Kong comics, and even European comics and American comics.

Especially after the Empire Group acquired Marvel, the Second Dimension Company also cooperated with Marvel.

Now when Lan Shaojun took Yang Ming in for a visit, he found that some of the executives here were local natives of Hong Kong, mainly Chinese.

Some of them used to work at Yulang International, but after Huang Yulang went to prison, many senior executives of Yulang Group switched jobs to ACG.

Some are from Japan.

These Japanese people are very good at comics, but now because of the emergence of Yang Ming, it is Yang Ming and the Imperial Group, and the Second Dimension Group who are leading the trend of Japanese comics.

The rest are white.

It can be said that Japanese people have an advantage in comics and games, and most of the two major groups, the Imperial Group, are Japanese people.

When Yang Ming arrived, many Japanese people greeted Yang Ming respectfully.

Facing the powerful Sir Yang, they had already surrendered, although they still couldn't understand why Sir Yang and the Imperial Group knew so much about these Japanese comics.

In Lan Shaojun, Yang Ming and others visited various departments.

Including comic studios.

Now there are many comic studios in the 2D Company, the most famous of which is Clear Water Bay Comics, and there are many comics with different names.

After Yang Ming saw them.

Come to the conference room.

"The value of IP will become greater and greater in the future. Comics are a very important IP. Of course, every famous comic, including the name of the comic, the characters in the comic, the storyline of the comic, etc., is very valuable. Valuable IP. In other words, comics will become more and more valuable in the future.”

For example, "Pokémon", which was originally adapted from a game, is not only very popular in the game, but also became popular around the world after being adapted into comics and related derivative products.

How much is Pokémon’s IP worth?

Yang Ming didn't even know how to count.

He knows that Empire Games now controls the IP ownership of Pokémon, and now other international consortiums have been able to acquire Pokémon, or share this IP with Empire Games.

However, Yang Ming knew that with the Imperial Group's ownership of this Pokémon, future generations of the Yang family would be able to enjoy it for a long time.

On this point, Lan Shaojun and others knew what the boss said.

The value of IP will indeed become more and more valuable in the future.

"When I come here this time, in addition to inspecting the headquarters of A2D Company, I plan to come up with two new comic story structures to be created by the studio."

Two new works?

Lan Shaojun and others were surprised.

Others were even more surprised.

Although in the past few years, Yang Ming has always had a story structure for comics and even the main content of the company, the rest is completed by the studio.

Moreover, those works are very influential in global comics.

Now the boss has come up with two comic story structures again, indicating that they are definitely very influential comics.

Look at the eyes of Lan Shaojun and others looking over.

What Yang Ming wants to bring out is "One Piece" and "Naruto".

When it comes to Dragon Ball, Detective Conan has already had a huge influence.

However, in Yang Ming's previous life, One Piece and Naruto's influence was probably even greater, especially after 2000, Naruto became very popular domestically and even globally.

However, until now, neither Naruto nor One Piece has appeared.

Yang Ming also took it out.

Among them, "Naruto" is the representative work of the Japanese cartoonist Masashi Kishimoto. The work began to be serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" in 1999.

However, Yang Ming now takes it out seven years in advance.

The work is set in a ninja world. The story begins with the orphan life of the protagonist Uzumaki Naruto. In order to protect the village, the fourth generation Hokage sealed the nine-tailed demon fox that attacked the village into his body. As a result, Naruto was ignored by the villagers and just tried his best. Trying to attract everyone's attention with various pranks. Fortunately, Teacher Iruka still cared, so Naruto's character did not become distorted. He was always energetic and very optimistic.

In order to let more people recognize him, Naruto's goal is to become Hokage. The entire story revolves around Naruto's struggle and growth, Naruto's partners, and the various battles and conspiracies in this ninja world.

In addition to the story structure and setting, there is also the main story content.

The Hidden Leaf Village was suddenly attacked by the nine-tailed demon fox. The fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato sacrificed his life to seal the demon fox into Naruto, who was still a baby at the time. The villagers regarded Naruto as the incarnation of the demon fox and treated him coldly. In order to gain everyone's recognition, Naruto kept playing pranks in the village to attract people's attention. Naruto's goal is to become the greatest ninja "Hokage" in the village and let everyone recognize his existence.

. . .

Regarding Naruto, Yang Ming had seen it many times in his previous life. Although he had not read the following content, he still remembered the previous part very clearly.

He wrote out the general content and left the rest to the studio for improvement.

In addition to Naruto, there is also One Piece.

Historically, One Piece, also known as "One Piece", is a juvenile comic work drawn by Japanese cartoonist Eiichiro Oda. It began serialization in Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" on July 22, 1997.

Now Yang Ming has taken it out five years in advance.

The man who had wealth, fame, power, and everything in the world, "Pirate King" Gol D. Roger, said something before he was executed, causing people all over the world to flock to the sea.

"Do you want my treasure? If you want it, go find it on the sea, I will put it all there." The world began to welcome the advent of the "Great Pirate Age".

During the "Great Pirate Era", countless pirates raised their flags and fought each other in order to find the legendary treasure "ONE PIECE" left by the Pirate King Roger.

There was a boy named Luffy who dreamed of becoming the Pirate King. He became a rubber man after eating the "Devil Fruit" by mistake. While gaining superhuman abilities, he paid the price of being unable to swim for a lifetime. Ten years later, Luffy went out to sea to fulfill his promise with Shanks, who lost his arm to save him. During his journey, he kept looking for like-minded partners and began an adventure with the goal of becoming the Pirate King.

. . .

Compared to One Piece, Yang Ming still prefers Naruto.

Now, Yang Ming took out two comics that were enough to shock the most valuable comics in the Oriental comics industry in his previous life. Lan Shaojun and others took them and were attracted by the titles.

Naruto?

One Piece?

When they looked at the general story structure, they knew the value of these two comics.

Although they didn't know where the boss Sir Yang got the inspiration from, it was definitely not simple.

"Study hard and try to start the two comics officially serialized by the end of the year."

After Yang Ming handed them over to the Second Dimension Company, he did not stay.

In his opinion, since he had already harvested the wealth of Japan, he did not mind continuing to harvest.

In Yang Ming's opinion, as long as it has not appeared in this world, it belongs to him.

After inspecting the headquarters of the Second Dimension Company and handing over the two most important comics to the Second Dimension Company, Lan Shaojun and others personally sent Yang Ming out.

Yang Ming and others just got in the car and were ready to leave.

On a road passing through Qingshui Bay.

A small car in front suddenly stopped.

At first, Yang Ming thought it was someone else.

When Chen Zhenhua called a bodyguard to ask, he found that it was Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua sitting in the car.

These two people did not expect to meet Sir Yang here.

"Boss, Mr. Shao invites you to his house for a cup of tea. I wonder if you agree?"

Did Shao Yifu invite him to have tea?

"Then tell him, I'll go."

The bodyguard went over and told Shao Yifu.

When Shaw Yi-fu learned that Sir Yang agreed, he was still a little excited, at least it showed that Sir Yang gave him face.

Yang Ming's motorcade followed to the Clearwater Bay Villa.

He had heard that Shaw Yi-fu and Fang Yi-hua usually lived here, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Yang Ming got out of the car. Shaw Yi-fu, who was wearing glasses and was 85 years old, hurried over to shake hands with Yang Ming.

"Hello, Sir Yang."

"Hello, Mr. Shaw."

Yang Ming and Shaw Yi-fu shook hands separately.

Looking at the woman in her fifties next to Shaw Yi-fu, Yang Ming knew it was Fang Yi-hua.

Although he had never seen the real person before.

After Yang Ming shook hands with Fang Yi-hua.

The three of them went inside.

Shaw Yi-fu's villa is not small, it is also four or five hundred square meters.

In Hong Kong, it is indeed a big villa and a mansion.

Usually Shaw Yi-fu and Fang Yi-hua come back here after get off work, and then go to work at TVB's current headquarters in Clearwater Bay. (End of this chapter)
