Chapter 528: Free gift

The Superhero Festival has begun!
Meng Lang is filming in China and has no time to go live in Boston. Fortunately, PD has a live broadcast service and can watch it when he is on the set.
Time is just right!
Jiangchuan is seven in the morning, which happens to be seven in the evening local time in Boston. In the live broadcast, the Super Hero Festival is holding the opening ceremony.
As the "Special Representative of General Meng," Wang Kui was the first to speak on stage, followed by the relevant heads of Kent and North America.
The last is the performance...
This year’s Super Hero Festival has streamlined a lot of content from a multi-IP festival to Kamen Rider X Ultraman X Super Team Carnival Night.
This scale is enough!
As a performance of the Superhero Festival, too many IP works were packed in one breath, which caused the program list to be too bloated and the audience too tired to watch.
Last year's Superhero Festival, the total duration surpassed the Spring Festival Gala.
After such a long performance time, the audience's buttocks are numb, and they have gone to the toilet several times, and their stomachs are hungry. How can there be a good viewing experience?
Based on this consideration, PD has deleted a lot of content this year. There are only three main IP series left, compressing the performance time to less than four hours.
It's much more comfortable!
Some people may say, what should I do if I can't watch it for four hours?
Then you go play something else!
In order to satisfy some enthusiastic fans, a hundred special machines were added to this year's Superhero Festival Carnival.
Some are like claw machines!
But there is no doll in the machine to catch, only the hands of various PD heroes.
This is a suggestion from the Neon Division!
In the neon figure market, there is a special kind of "scenery" figure, which is distributed through lottery or special events.
This kind of figure is rough in workmanship and has many flaws, and it is not as fine as the ordinary figure. But the advantage is that the quantity is large and cheap, and the painting cost is not high.
Meng Lang adopted this suggestion and included the Jingpin figure in the list of prizes for various activities, which was first released at this Boston Super Hero Festival.
Although it is a prize, it is also available.
The price of Jingpin figures is much cheaper than ordinary figures. After all, the cost of work is here, and no one wants to sell it too expensive.
Meng Lang, who was boring to play and didn't expect much money from this stuff, suddenly received a call from Wang Kui.
"Sold out? Really!"
Meng Lang was surprised. He didn't expect that 100,000 PD hero figures would be sold out on the night of the Super Hero Festival.
Calculated on the basis of an average price of 100+ yuan, a figure worth 10 million was sold this evening, which is comparable to the usual monthly sales.
"Because it's cheap!"
Wang Kui explained: "There are a lot of fans who want to buy the figurines, but the high price persuaded many people. The price of the scenery figurines we made this time is really fragrant!"
Is it so fragrant?
Consumers don't know, is Meng Lang still not clear about it? This so-called Jingpin figure is nothing more than a "low-cost, low-match" version, with low cost and poor quality, which is fully in line with this pricing.
"Cheap is enough!"
"At this price, most people don't demand quality. For a hundred dollars, what kind of bicycle do you want?"
It seems to be the reason!
Taobao JD.com has become a trend. Why can PDD rise against the trend? Probably, cheap is the main factor.
The popularity of Jingpin's figure exceeded Meng Lang's expectations. Faced with various "out of stock" warnings, he had to adjust the factory's production plan to ensure that the production capacity could keep up.
Unfortunately, it takes time for production capacity to climb.
When the PD production capacity could not meet the demand and the market was generally out of stock, the good brother Lebao came out to grab food.
Lebao has PD authorization to produce the "non-restricted non-commemorative edition" IP derivative peripherals of PD. It just so happens that Jingpin's figure is also within the scope of authorization.
An interesting scene appeared!
PD's own factory needs to adjust its production plan and cannot produce more goods temporarily. Lebao took advantage of it and began to use the "PD authorized" figure to attack the "PD self-produced" figure, and achieved great success.
Meng Zi's nose is crooked!
Although the "PD authorized" figure produced by Lebao requires a part of the protection fee, Mengzi can also make money.
But "self-produced and sold" has more money!
"As the saying goes, you don't have to fight for three days! Le Bao, an unfilial son, rebelled today, what do you think?"
Ma Teng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you raise pigs and kill pigs for a thousand days, Le Bao is unfaithful and unfilial, so he will be punished by law!"
"The minister agrees!"
"Then kill it..."
Meng Lang yawned and said, "Lebao's stock price has risen sharply. Let's go and cool him down. Remember to do it lightly and don't kill him directly."
He still wants to buy it!
Although this godson is not sensible, he wants to fight his father Huang Mengzi all day long. But his wife is very beautiful, Meng Zi, who covets the beauty of the princess, how can she be willing to die?
Ma Teng, who was extremely mobile, quickly attacked Lebao. First of all, dirty water was poured to slander Lebao's products as unqualified and toxic, which can affect children's brain development.
Then the authorization of Lebao was lifted to further suppress the stock price. While Lebao drew funds to rescue its stock price, the rumor that
Lebao was about to go bankrupt
caused suppliers to come to collect debts.
The methods are despicable, but they work.
Lebao, who had been lingering and panting, soon couldn't hold up the application negotiation under the pressure of PD's spare no effort.
The negotiation process is simple.
Lebao executives want to cash out, and PD is greedy for Lebao, and the two sides immediately reached a consensus. EbookFREE.me~ As for the workers at the bottom?
Who cares about their opinions!
The negotiation of this acquisition went smoothly. There was no third party to spoil the situation, and Lebao did not have the opportunity to shop around. So it quickly compromised.
Bainian Lebao, a company that carries countless American childhood memories, was finally sold to PD Group for US$2 billion, becoming the only listed company under its umbrella.
That's right, a listed company!
After the completion of the acquisition, PD Group received approximately 71.44% of the shares of 17 shareholders. As for the remaining retail stocks, it cannot be dealt with temporarily.
The privatization process of US stocks is quite complicated. Moreover, Mengzi has no money. Half of the US$2 billion is bank mortgages.
No way, repair the paradise!
The greatest value of Lebao is the brand. From now on, "Lobo" will become one of PD's sub-brands. It will continue to use the previous IP authorization scheme, and its products will focus on the European and American markets.
The company name is prefixed!
Lobo became PD—Lobo!
He used to be a godson, and his surnames were not uniform. Now that the godson has become a real son, does it make sense not to have the surname Meng?
Of course, this is a witty statement.
Although PD acquired Lebao, because of the particularity of the listed company, the godson is still a godson and is very independent.
Before and after the acquisition, the only change is probably that Mr. Meng has become Dong Meng!
After the management reorganization of Xinlebao, which became "Meng Bao," Meng Lang, as the new chairman, needs to appoint a reliable CEO to North America to preside over the overall situation.
At the beginning, he circled Ma Teng.
But when Ma Teng left, the group business collapsed in half. Meng Lang, who didn't want to cause trouble to himself, finally chose Du Fang, the lowest profile in the "PD Trident".
