Chapter 121: The Reasoning Writer

While waiting for Chen Jie's answer, the production of "Pokemon" was going smoothly.

Then one night, Alice brought Tomato Teacher and a man to Meng Huo's house.

"His name is Diao Wenlin, and he is a reasoning writer."

Alice introduced to Meng Huo that the man was about 30 years old, with a thin figure and a yellow complexion. Meng Huo judged from the outside that he often stayed up late and his family was not well off. However, although the clothes he wore were worn, they were ironed very neatly, and there might be a good wife behind him supporting him.

"Hello."

Meng Huo stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Teacher He Xi."

The man had heard about Meng Huo's age on the road, so he barely maintained his unshakable expression. He bent down and shook hands with Meng Huo with a restrained attitude, saying, "I am just a poor writer, thank you for this opportunity."

The opportunity he mentioned was naturally the opportunity to serialize "Detective Conan".

Meng Huo needs to solve this comic with two factors: one is the comic, and Tomato Teacher can take over. The other is the plot of the case. Tomato Teacher will not think about these contents and can only find other people.

After saying hello, Li Qin welcomed Diao Wenlin and Tomato to sit down, while Alice took the opportunity to tell Meng Huo about Diao Wenlin's situation.

Diao Wenlin is a mystery writer who writes articles, not a novelist. The reasoning market in China is not large, but there are many writers, and many mystery writers live a miserable life. Diao Wenlin's case fabrication is excellent, but he is not a person who can write novels. He has never published books before, but has given many novelists advice.

Novels and comics require technical products, and they cannot be played well by people who think about stories.

Meng Huo understood this, and Alice helped him find a suitable person, but the specific level could not be judged by information.

He sat down and chatted with Diao Wenlin to examine his reasoning skills. As far as the result is concerned, Alice did not disappoint Meng Huo. Diao Wenlin's thinking is as meticulous as a silkworm, with all the characteristics of a reasoning writer, and he is also a fan of "Detective Conan" and has some understanding of comics.

"Yes, no problem."

After chatting for an hour, Diao Wenlin made a case on the spot and then told the process of solving the case. Meng Huo nodded with satisfaction: "Let's discuss the reward."

As soon as this sentence was said, Diao Wenlin's expression immediately became nervous, and the sleepy teacher Tomato, who heard it, was also cheered up.

"The probation period is one month, each picture has 200 Huaxia coins, and the monthly settlement is completed. The probation period is over. You will take over my work. In terms of the remuneration of the picture, you will give you 1% of the royalties for the individual book. How about this remuneration?"

This is the reward Meng Huo casually thought of.

"200 Huaxia coins, 1% royalty!"

The seemingly small reward shocked Mr. Pomodoro.

He remembered that the first two single-books of "Detective Conan" were released, and Teacher He Xi could earn 20 million each time. His royalty was 10%, and 1% was 2 million... If Teacher Tomato and Diao Wenlin took over this job, at least 5 single-books were released in a year, and Five Instincts could earn 10 million! Each person was 5 million!

This number made Mr. Pomoto happy, it made more money than the comics he was serializing.

Diao Wenlin was so excited that he wanted to faint.

A picture of 200 Huaxia coins is about 20 per week, which is 4,000 Huaxia coins. Diao Wenlin can get 2,000, and a month is 8,000. He has been a mystery writer for so many years, and this royalty is still out of reach for him.

"With this money, I have a stable job, and I don't have to cover myself, and my wife won't suffer anymore."

Diao Wenlin felt sore in her heart that she almost left tears.

He is a terrible writer. His wife did not enjoy a good life for a day after marrying him. This time, his monthly salary of 8,000 is enough to make their lives change drastically.

And there is also a 1% royalty. Diao Wenlin once calculated the market value of "Detective Conan", and he knew what this one percent meant.

"I can buy a house in Ninghai, I can buy it in one year, and I will pay in full!"

Diao Wenlin seemed to see a new future. He and his wife didn't have to rent a house everywhere, but could buy a suite of his own, and their children would not be looked down upon at school.

Diao Wenlin and Mr. Tomato looked at each other and saw surprises from each other.

"Yes, yes, we agree!"

The two nodded to Meng Huo, their faces flushed and extremely excited.

Meng Huo was a little uncomfortable with their eyes. In fact, the most reward for this was him. He received 400 Chinese coins for each picture, twice that of Tomato and Diao Wenlin. Then the royalties were 9 times, more than 100 million... The workload was very small, and the remaining time to draw other comics will not be worse than "Detective Conan".

But Diao Wenlin and Mr. Tomato wouldn't care about this even if they knew it. "Detective Conan" is a comic created by Meng Huo, and they could only keep thanking him.

"Thank you, thank you Teacher He Xi."

"I will work hard, I will definitely work hard!"

Two men in their 30s were very excited. Diao Wenlin had decided to buy a cake on the way home to celebrate with his wife. He knew that the model of "Detective Conan" could be continued. It would be fine for 10 or 20 years. He had a serious job, which was more stable than other jobs.

This is so cool. Teacher He Xi is simply his rebirth parent!

Diao Wenlin kept thanking him, and cried when he left, and walked into the elevator like a child.

After Tomato and Diao Wenlin left, Alice breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Meng Huo, this matter is settled." She said to Meng Huo: "Where do you want to put the studio, your house seems a little crowded..."

"It's okay, add another table in the study."

Meng Huo laughed. Now the three assistants can still bear it at home. If there is one more person, he has to consider changing places. It is inconvenient to rent a studio outside, and he doesn't want to hand over the comics immediately.

Without a period of transition and guidance, Diao Wenlin was unable to adapt to the style of "Detective Conan".

"Okay, I'll buy you some equipment." Alice wrote it down in her notebook, and then asked, "Will you announce this tonight in a magazine?"

Meng Huo frowned slightly.

This matter will have a certain impact if it is said, but if it is not said, it will not be hidden in the future.

Meng Huo could not only write a few comics, he would hire a lot of people to help in the future. This model is a bit like a studio, but it is very necessary, otherwise he would not be able to draw a few comics in his lifetime...

However, people's energy is limited and he can't hide it. As the number of comics increases, readers cannot notice that he has someone to help.

Meng Huo analyzed the pros and cons of the announcement now and future announcements.

"Announce it now."

Although he made a decision, although it would have an impact, the impact he said now is smaller than what he said later.

"No problem." Alice agreed. She was not worried. Professional cartoonists usually have assistants, and Diao Wenlin is He Xi's assistant. The main storyline is still in He Xi's hands, so there is no problem.

However, there was an unexpected situation, and Meng Huo and Alice's decision collided with an unexpected incident.
