Chapter 667: Meng Huo's judgment
"No, is anyone so interested in my new comic?"
On the dining table, Meng Huo seemed surprised after hearing Xu Jing's purpose. Yesterday, he just revealed an idea to readers. He had not considered the specific details of the new comics, but unexpectedly brought such a big reaction outside.¥※,ww⊕w.2▽3wx.c↖om
"And why no one came to me directly..."
Meng Huo looked at the secretary sitting at the dining table. The secretary shook his head at him, saying that he had not received any similar invitations.
Xu Jing laughed: "It shouldn't be here so quickly. If you want to find you, they have to make full preparations."
The news of the new comics has been exposed for a day, and most interested people are considering it. Moreover, as the largest cartoonist in China, no one wants to contact him for this matter without any preparation. Through Xu Jing's test, it is a good idea.
Of course, some people who want to see the situation first are inevitable.
"That's how..."
Meng Huo reluctantly accepted Xu Jing's statement. He frowned slightly, feeling that he would be more sad in the next period of time.
"President, I want to ask." At this time, Ye Xiong suddenly spoke and asked Xu Jing: "They want Teacher He Xi's new comics, right? Have you ever bid for it?"
This question made the others look at Xu Jing.
"Yes, and the price is not low..." Xu Jing took a sip of tea calmly and reported a number: "The minimum bid is 100 million Chinese coins!"
In an instant, the others took a breath of cold air, and Ye Xiong was stunned. The 100 million Chinese coins, a number that could be worth the year of Phoenix Company's revenue a few years ago. Now He Xi's new comic has not yet been released, and the theme choice alone is worth such a high price...
As soon as this news spreads, I don’t know how many people will go crazy about it!
However, from the actual effect, it is not a disadvantage to buy He Xi's new comic theme with 100 million Chinese coins. The annual advertising investment of large companies and sports companies exceeds this number. However, if you are lucky enough, the money invested in He Xi's new comics can become a large-scale advertising that lasts for several years.
"Teacher He Xi, it's useless to take this money!"
Zhou Qian said excitedly to Meng Huo that many people on the table had the same idea as her. He Xi’s new comic theme is worth hundreds of millions of yuan, but this is just a subject and has nothing to do with the content of the comic: "Teacher, you can choose the subject you like to write. Then you can knock on money from that industry, it’s the best of both worlds."
They knew that Meng Huo definitely didn't like being interfered with the choice of new comics, but in this matter, he could make a fortune while making his own choices - even Xu Jing thought it was a good idea, but he didn't say anything.
Alice nodded in agreement: "This money can be used for charity."
Since you can get money, you will naturally not be careless. If Meng Huo wants to draw such a skilled comic, it will have a positive impact on the industry no matter what. It is natural for others to pay a little money. If you don’t pay anything, you will be too lucky.
Unfortunately, Meng Huo didn't feel that way.
"I won't charge money for this subject."
He answered this way, and if he wanted to draw his freedom, he would charge others money for his choice, although no one would blame him for such a thing, it was still not in line with his philosophy.
Xu Jing nodded secretly. He guessed Meng Huo's choice. In fact, Meng Huo is not a qualified entrepreneur. He adheres to many principles in his work and will be at a disadvantage in the fierce market competition... However, he has the ability to override this defect, so no problems arise.
"Okay, that's all for this matter, everyone have a meal!"
Xu Jing clapped his hands and called on everyone to stop talking about the topic and enjoy lunch.
Alice sat with her mother. Although the atmosphere at the dining table was warm, the blonde woman seemed to be unwilling to speak and kept observing the interactions of everyone with a smile - especially the interactions between Meng Huo and Alice.
At this dining table, Meng Huo and Alice sat far away, and there was little dialogue and interaction. Even if they were observing, they could not find anything wrong, but they were still discovered by the careful woman.
After lunch, several cars set off from the hotel to Manga Island.
"Have your relationship with that child improved again?" Alice sat with her mother. She drank a lot of wine and her face turned a little red. She was about to squint her eyes in the car, but she was suddenly startled by her mother's words.
"What did you say?"
Alice's alcohol tolerance was already good, but after a word from her mother, the alcohol was gone in an instant.
"I saw you transfer food for him." The woman touched her daughter's hair and said with a smile. She knew that her daughter was better than her mother. If she had only guessed before, then she would know what Alice's reaction was now.
Alice turned the turntable several times on the dining table. On the surface, it was convenient for her to choose dishes, but the woman noticed that the dishes were not Alice's favorite dishes. On the contrary, there were always a few popular dishes accidentally turning to Meng Huo.
Maybe even Meng Huo didn't notice this, but the woman noticed it.
"Alice has this side too..."
The woman felt a little relieved. She had never thought that her daughter would have such a feminine side before. Although Alice has always been good at taking care of others, she has never shown such care for such details of a man.
She could become a good wife, but the woman thought about this, but she felt sad at the same time. The possibility of these two children being together was too small.
In front of them, Xu Jing and Meng Huo were sitting in another car and began to talk about what happened before lunch.
"In the future, many people will come to you. Of course, you will be the one who refuses them. But I have to remind you that you must not turn them out." Xu Jing reminded Meng Huo: "Some of the things you should see must be seen."
Meng Huo nodded: "I understand."
Xu Jing’s meaning is very simple. There will definitely be some big names coming for the new comics. These big names cannot be rejected. Even if they cannot agree to their request, they should still receive them politely when others come to visit.
"I believe you can handle this..." Xu Jing nodded when he saw Meng Huo and his expression relaxed: "After that being said, are you interested in tea?"
Meng Huo was stunned. Why did he suddenly mention tea?
"I mean that... cough..." Xu Jing saw that Meng Huo didn't understand and coughed a little awkwardly: "The tea ceremony can also be included in the alternative subject of the new comic!"
Meng Huo couldn't smile bitterly. After talking about his feelings for a long time, Xu Jing was also interested in his new comics.
"Can I draw this help with tea planting?"
He thought it was because others were too imitating themselves, and his new comics were not so great.
"Why can't it? Even if you can't help with tea planting, at least it's okay to advertise for those tea merchants, right?" Xu Jing turned his mind. He suddenly thought about it while eating. Since others want Meng Huo's new comics so much, why can't they be used in tea ceremony?
If He Xi was asked to draw a tea ceremony comic, no matter what, those tea merchants would inevitably provide them with tea leaves? In order to let He Xi draw a good comic and promote his own products, there would definitely be tea merchants who took the initiative to send ding-level tea leaves...
Wouldn't Xu Jing be blessed at that time?
"No, no, this is ridiculous."
Meng Huo laughed and said, Xu Jing's idea was too whimsical. In fact, he could draw a tea ceremony, but what he said before did not include such things, and he actually said it, so it is difficult to change now.
He expressed such an opinion to Xu Jing, and Xu Jing was a little disappointed, but in the end he did not continue to force it.
"How is the carnival preparation?" Xu Jing focused on another thing. The carnival on Manga Island is about to be held in one month. This carnival is larger than last year's carnival, but the preparations have not been reported yet.
"It's almost done." Meng Huo nodded and said, "The most critical manpower problem has also been solved. We have hired a lot of summer workers in the university town, and they will start preparing for us after the holiday this month."
For this carnival, Phoenix Company has been preparing for several months, and the left-behind college students have perfect work in the early stages.
"That's good, I'm looking forward to the arrival of the carnival..."
Xu Jing smiled expectantly.
After arriving at Manhua Island, Meng Huo first asked someone to send Xu Jing and his wife to rest. The purpose of their visit this time had been achieved, but it was impossible to return to Ninghai immediately. He happened to stay for a day to play on Manhua Island.
Alice also left. Meng Huo looked at his cell phone. Although it was not yet work time, he still walked towards the office with his secretary.
"teacher!"
"Teacher He Xi!"
When he first walked into the elevator, Ye Xiong and the editor-in-chief of the Girls' Editorial Office got out of the car behind and rushed over.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Huo was a little excited when he saw the two of them and felt strange.
"Teacher He Xi, is this new work a girl's comic or a boy's comic!?"
Ye Xiong asked straight in one fell swoop. After learning that Meng Huo's new comics were so popular at noon, the editors of both editorial departments couldn't sit still. They wanted to get this new comic, so they quarreled all the way on the road, but the range given by Meng Huo could not tell whether it was a teenager or a girl, which sucked their appetite.
"The scope is some ball sports and chess and card games... No matter how you look at it, this should be the teenager's direction, right?" Ye Xiong thought so, hoping that Meng Huo could give a positive answer, completely extinguishing the heart of the girl's comics department.
"Well... this... I didn't think about it..." However, unexpectedly, Meng Huo seemed to be very confused about this question: "I have the idea of boy comics, and I have the idea of girl comics, too... Sorry, I can't answer you now."
The scope of this new comic is actually not large. Meng Huo refused to answer the orientation of the readers, which would make his choice more. The editors of the two editorial departments were a little disappointed when they heard the answer, and they were relieved. They all still had hope.
