Chapter 380

Taking off clothes is, of course, to change clothes; who would work in the kitchen wearing this outfit?

But actually, she could have gone to the room to change.

"Oh my, I forgot there was a male guest at home today." Miss Li Zhi took off her coat and unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt, only then putting her hand on her chest and reacting with a shy face.

Wei Ming's evaluation: Needs more practice.

Immediately, she went into the room and changed into a loose and thin loungewear. Seeing Wei Ming looking at her, she blinked: "Usually, it's just me and President Lingling at home, we both dress very casually."

There was no need to take off the equipment underneath as well, right? Walking around swaying like that, you're afraid I might be able to hold back, aren't you?

But it was much better once she put on an apron; it was restrained.

The current situation was that Wei Ming knew she was seducing him, and she was indeed very attractive to him. When Melinda wasn't around, Wei Ming rarely saw a player whose figure could rival hers.

But out of responsibility to his lover, he didn't want to take her bait, yet he also wanted to see what kind of delicacies were on the hook next to it.

When Miss Li Zhi was scrubbing the abalone, Wei Ming stood behind her and asked, "How do you plan to cook this abalone?"

"How about braised?"

Wei Ming: "Then what about the oysters?"

"Steamed with vermicelli."

Wei Ming: "Do you need my help?"

"No, I can handle it alone. I'm very capable," Miss Li Zhi said confidently.

Wei Ming: "Then I'll go outside."

Seeing that Wei Ming actually left, Miss Li Zhi pouted, somewhat disappointed. She really wanted him to stand behind her and point fingers.

Just now, the two were very close, and she could feel his intense and fiery male aura. It would be even better if they could fit together seamlessly.

Miss Li Zhi was cooking abalone in the kitchen, while Wei Ming took out his notebook and began to conceive the promotional poster for "Let's Make Laugh".

This was a somewhat taboo story: a wealthy husband owed debts and ran away, and the left-behind wife was monitored by the government. The male lead, Li Du, was ordered to watch the wealthy wife, Naidong. After seven days, the two, who were initially mutually exclusive, gradually developed feelings and ended up in bed together.

However, after seven days, the wealthy husband returned, and the wife chose to continue living with her husband. For the male lead, these seven days were like a dream.

Although Wei Ming didn't like this ending, he didn't change it. After all, judging from the box office results, Hong Kong audiences liked it, and there must be a reason they liked it. Wei Ming was just aiming to make money; he had also invested half in this film.

First, no spoilers, but it still had to be attractive.

Wei Ming thought for a while and prepared to draw two pictures to show the change in the relationship between the male and female leads.

The first picture was the first day they met: the male lead was wearing a police uniform and couldn't even enter the house, while the female lead was in the villa wearing pajamas that revealed her good figure, holding a golf club and guarding strictly, looking both worried and scared.

The second picture was seven days later: the male lead was lying naked on the bed, and the female lead also had a lazy look after the fact. Her pajamas were even sexier and more revealing than the first picture, as if they were a family.

However, there was still a wedding photo above the head of the bed; it was the female lead and another man.

Anyone in the know would understand immediately: Oh, cuckolded, cuckolded!

Because of the huge contrast between the first and second pictures, it would make the readers wonder what happened in the middle six days and what kind of relationship they actually had.

And he had to draw that sense of sexual temptation. Kenny Bee was tall and big, and he sacrificed a lot in the film; one could see his figure was great, but Joey Wong wasn't quite there—she was dry and thin. So the heroine under Wei Ming's brush had Joey Wong's face but Miss Li Zhi's level of figure.

False advertising is false advertising. Women themselves are good at creating false prosperity through hard squeezing. There aren't many as full-figured as Miss Li Zhi.

After confirming the plan, Wei Ming glanced at Miss Li Zhi, who was quick and nimble in the kitchen. Her stockings had already been taken off and could be seen thrown on the bed from the open bedroom door, along with that large bra.

Since the character drawings for "Calabash Brothers", Wei Ming hadn't picked up his brush for a long time. Fortunately, he hadn't lost his touch.

About an hour later, the first comic strip was already drawn. Just as he was preparing to draw the second one, the door opened.

"Miss Li Zhi, I'm back." After Wei Lingling entered, she also started taking off her clothes.

Wei Ming hurriedly stood up: "Auntie, I'm here."

"Oh, I guessed so." Wei Lingling took off her coat, hung it up, changed into slippers, and sat beside Wei Ming. "What are you doing? Secretly drawing Miss Li Zhi?"

Short hair, big breasts—if it's not Miss Li Zhi, who could it be!

Miss Li Zhi's ears in the kitchen twitched, and she smiled slightly. She had long noticed Wei Ming staring at her while writing and drawing. *Heh, men. *

Wei Ming: "No, I'm drawing the promotional comic for 'Let's Make Laugh'."

Miss Li Zhi: "Hmph, men!"

"President Lingling, dinner is ready!" Miss Li Zhi turned around and brought the plates to the table, and Wei Ming also went over to help.

It seemed Wei Lingling didn't intend to let Wei Ming leave. She even poured him a glass of red wine: "I didn't expect that even before Transformers was made, History Meow would be a huge success. Auntie toasts you."

Wei Ming: "I'm not a good drinker, let's just have a sip, just a sip. Actually, your toys selling well is, in turn, a promotion for our comics. After all, many children don't actually have the opportunity to come into contact with Madman Comics, but they will buy toys, which in turn increases the influence of the comics."

Wei Lingling nodded, and Wei Ming added: "But I heard the plastic versions are selling just average."

Wei Lingling: "Yes, but it doesn't stump us. We can slowly release them through Holiland. The previous backlog of small toys were all released this way."

In the original timeline, it was McDonald's "Happy Meal" that pioneered this practice of giving small toys to children a few years later, which became the enlightenment of the collection culture for many Western children. Now it had become Holiland's original creation.

Wei Ming shook his head: "But Holiland has too few storefronts, so the shipment definitely won't be fast. I have a plan here that can help you sell these History Meows quickly."

"What plan?"

Wei Ming smiled slightly: "Old Ghost has made a lot of money betting on horses recently, you've heard, right?"

"I know. Although I don't like him gambling, the Jockey Club has great influence in Hong Kong. The best-selling tabloids always have a page for horse racing, and there are 30 other professional horse racing newspapers. The Jockey Club has already influenced the lives of Hong Kong people from top to bottom."

Wei Ming snapped his fingers: "The gambling nature of Hong Kong people is very heavy and can be utilized. What I want to tell you now is a sales model called 'blind box'. This model is worth at least 100 million!"

"Blind box? 100 million?" Wei Lingling laughed. "You're willing to tell me about 100 million?"

Wei Ming picked up one of Miss Li Zhi's abalones: "You are my own aunt. Never mind 100 million, I wouldn't care about 1 billion either. Anyway, I don't do real industry."

And if he didn't say it, it would be invented by the Japanese sooner or later.

Wei Lingling laughed and then instructed Miss Li Zhi: "Take notes."

Miss Li Zhi actually had a notebook and pen in her apron. This was being prepared to learn at any time.

Wei Ming said: "Usually, when we buy things, we buy whatever we need directly. The purpose is clear, and the result is naturally unique. But blind boxes are different. Take the History Meow series, for example: put different History Meows into a box and tell you that what's sold inside is a History Meow, but you're not sure which one it is. And the key is the hidden version."

"Hidden version?"

Those who have collected the Water Margin cards from Little Raccoon instant noodles shouldn't be strangers to hidden versions. Some characters are just impossible to find no matter what.

"For example, in this History Meow series, the quantities of other Meows are about the same, but only the quantity of Qin Shi Huang is scarce, and it's large and exquisitely made. You say, will users who like this toy throw more money into it in order to find this one and complete a set? And this money is much more than buying a set normally."

Wei Lingling's first reaction after hearing this was that it was such a wicked trick!

But on second thought, this is Hong Kong, where everyone from top to bottom, from old to young, likes to gamble. Maybe they just like the excitement of that moment when opening the box. And for a small toy, the price is much cheaper than betting on horses or going to Macau.

Enjoy the excitement and fun of watching horse racing with the least amount of money!

So there is great wisdom hidden in this move. If it goes well, it could really have an output value of 100 million. But the key is to make users have the impulse that they must buy it. This requires publicity and momentum, and Wei Lingling is also a professional in this regard.

"But the Hong Kong market is too small. Even if every child has one of these small toys, how much money is that?" Wei Lingling said. "If the mainland can be completely opened up, it will be an explosive profit!"

Wei Ming said: "Isn't there also Taiwan? Thanks to you, 'Madman Comics' has already entered the Taiwan market. I heard the response is good, and it will be reprinted next time. History Meow blind box toys can be completely dumped into the Taiwan market."

Miss Li Zhi hurriedly wrote it down. That's so right! This adds another developed regional market of more than 20 million!

Wei Lingling nodded, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck.
