"Well, I already know... Go comics, what an unexpected choice.∷w."

Ning Hai and Dong Ding sat in the driving car, listening to Yang Liang's report in the microphone, and replied: "Since Phoenix Company launched this kind of niche comic, let the Angel concentrate on producing "Sherlock Detective" and "Flame Boy", and don't spend energy to fight against the new comics."

The outside world believes that Zhongxia Company has never cared about He Xi's new comics, but in fact, they have always been paying attention to them. He Xi's new comics are in a hot spot, and Dong Ding can't sit still. A while ago, he asked Angel to prepare to launch a new comic.

He Xi can take care of so many jobs, so it is even more okay for a double-digit angel.

Two days before the Carnival was held, rumors spread in the media circle that "He Xi will announce a new work at Carnival". Because he knew some government information, Dong Ding knew that He Xi's comic situation would be unlocked during the Carnival. He was more sure than the media that the new work refers to the new comic.

Therefore, he ordered Yang Liang to prepare, and as soon as He Xi's new comic was announced, they immediately looked for a subject that could fight it - no matter whether it could be won or not, He Xi could not fly in comic magazines like a wild horse that broke away from reins.

However, after learning that the new work was a Go comic, Dong Ding changed his mind and thought there was no need to fight.

"Do you also think "Soul of Chess" will not have a great future?" Yang Liang asked on the phone.

"No matter how good the niche comics are, it doesn't matter how good the drawing is." Dong Ding replied: "But my judgment is different from those reporters. I believe He Xi may draw "Soul of Chess", but after all, it is a professional comic. No matter how good the drawing is, it cannot become a threat like "One Piece"."

Dong Ding believes that "The Soul of Chess" is a restricted comic. It cannot become a popular comic with a huge audience. In fact, in the past, when he was still in Longteng, representatives of the Go world had already looked for him, hoping to bring some vitality to the Go industry that is waning through the influence of novels.

However, after investigation, they found that even if the audience of China's "Go" increased tenfold, it was just an ordinary subject. Even if the most popular novelists wrote "Go", they would lose a lot.

This subject is too niche in modern times. He Xi wants to make "Soul of Chess" popular, so its number of readers must be at least 100 times that of people who are interested in "Go".

To be honest, no matter how much he believes in anyone, Dong Ding doesn't think he can do this. If he doesn't do this, He Xi's new comics will not be threatening to Zhongxia Company. Even if it increases the Go audience by more than ten or twenty times, it is just the comic level of Zhongxia Company ranks about ten.

"But Mr. Dong, what if the story of "Qingyin Girl" is repeated?" Yang Liang was still very worried. Before "Qingyin Girl" came out a while ago, he was quite unpopular, but after it came out, it was so popular that he was shocked - Yang Liang would not dare to underestimate He Xi anymore for a short time.

"impossible!"

However, Dong Ding denied his concerns: "The Girl of Qingyin seems to be niche. In fact, it is an undiscovered popular theme, just like "Detective Conan". Both works seem to be niche, but they themselves are works that anyone can see, and there is no restriction on viewing requirements."

Take "Detective Conan" as an example. Although it is a detective comic, it does not require you to have detective knowledge when viewing it. This is the so-called "o" threshold. Any subject with "0" threshold has the opportunity to become a public. Therefore, before "Qingyin Girl" was broadcast, Dong Ding was optimistic about it compared to Yang Liang.

"Go comics, what do people who don't understand Go read?"

Dong Ding asked back, he didn't know how to play Go, and if a Go comic was placed in front of him, he would definitely not be interested in reading it. The TV occasionally broadcasts Go programs and even explains it, but he didn't understand it very much after reading it. In Dong Ding's judgment, Go has something that can only be appreciated by a very high threshold.

With such a high threshold, this is an unchangeable hard indicator. He didn't believe that He Xi could make it a threatening comic like "Detective Conan". After his explanation, Yang Liang quickly became enlightened.

"You are right. To be honest, I am not interested in reading Go comics, and I don't think I can understand." Yang Liang replied: "I will notify the angels. They will definitely be very happy after they know this news!"

Angels are always pushed to He Xi. If you save a job this time, you will naturally be happy.

However, after hanging up the phone, Dong Ding frowned slightly. The reason was not because of his concern about "The Soul of Chess". He believed in his judgment. But he was very surprised why Meng Huo chose Go. This choice was definitely not a good choice, and it also reminded Dong Ding of some memories...

He still remembers that when the representatives of the Go world came to him, it was the time when the new and old concepts of the Go industry were in conflict. Of course, this was not the focus. The focus was that the Go world was about to develop business and league models similar to other skills, and the person who dominated these industries was the Meng family.

Dong Ding was very sure that he remembered correctly. It was because of the Meng family, which was comparable to the Jiang family that Long Teng specially conducted a special investigation on the possibility of Go novels. The reason why he failed later was not only because of this a fantasy dream, but also because of the death of the head of the Meng family.

Go is not a great thing. The head of the Meng family likes Go, so he takes special care of it. After it passed away, no one cared about it.

"But now Go is still in the hands of the Meng family..."

Although it did not develop in particular, according to his impression at that time, Dong Ding believed that the Go industry was still in the hands of the Meng family. This era was different from ancient times. The players were decoupled from the government and needed money to survive, while the Meng family controlled all these industries.

All competitions, chess halls, and even professional chess players associations are all the property of the Meng family.

"He Xi's real name is Meng Huo... Meng Huo, Meng family..." Dong Ding frowned, then shook his head: "Impossible, if they had contact, they wouldn't need the Go director in Tokyo to give him a chessboard."

His judgment was correct. Meng Huo had nothing to do with the Go industry. He didn't even know that he accidentally had something to do with the Meng family.

Su Hua, Meng Family

The old lady sitting in the living room had a ridiculous expression, while the bearded old man opposite her was very happy.

"Don't thank me, I didn't say it!" the old lady shook her head and said, "Although you mentioned this, I thought about suggesting it to him, but in the end I didn't mention it. I should tell you about this, so you hurriedly asked the people from Tokyo to give him a chessboard, right?"

"Yes." The old man nodded with a smile on his face: "Since the lady didn't say it, then this is the young master's own judgment... I thought it would take many years to convince him, but I didn't expect that he made a choice so quickly. It should be said that he is worthy of the master's blood..."

Whether it was a coincidence or fate, Meng Huo's decision made indeed made this top ding player feel relieved. He originally expected that the young master would fall in love with Go like his grandfather and would persuade him to help in the future, but he did not expect that his decision was faster than expected.

"Bloodline..." The old lady smiled and took a sip of tea: "Li Bo, would you blame me?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head slightly: "How dare we, we all understand the wife's decision. Go is not a valuable thing. We can maintain the status quo thanks to our wife's help."

In the past, after the head of the Meng family passed away, the old lady gave up her investment in Go.

However, no one would blame her. Go is not a valuable thing, and it is too difficult to develop. In addition, the death of the head of the family, the Meng family also experienced turmoil. The old lady naturally had to seize more important things and did not have time to manage the development of Go.

Go has never been an industry that can make ends meet. Although the old lady has not paid attention, she has been investing money to maintain it. Maintaining an industry is not an easy task. Although the Go industry is not big, the funds required every year are hundreds of millions of dollars.

This has already made Li Bo and other players very grateful. If anyone else had, Go would have been abandoned long ago. Not to mention that now, Meng Huo let Li Bo and others see hope for revival again.

"But I really didn't expect that the young master would engage in this kind of cultural industry..." Li Bo followed and praised: "This is a priceless treasure for everyone."

Culture has the greatest influence, especially after moving towards the new century, the potential value of dominating a cultural industry exceeds its economic value. If Meng Huo can completely expand Phoenix Company, it will be an unimaginable wealth for the Meng family.

"Don't look at him with a profit..." The old lady's expression turned cold: "He is my grandson, the only grandson, you don't have any bad ideas for him!"

Li Bo was stunned, then felt awe-inspiring, and immediately lowered his head to apologize.

He knew that the old lady's grandson was not easy, and he could understand that she refused to speak for Go. For the old lady, Meng Huo was obviously more important than her property. Perhaps she was more worried than anyone that the side effects of her wealth would keep her grandson away, so people in the know have always been strictly prohibited from contacting Meng Huo.

"After all, it's the young master who is too strong..."

Li Bo thought to himself that the reason for this phenomenon was that the young master was too powerful. When others knew that he had such a huge wealth behind him, they had to turn around and run over. However, Meng Huo didn't need it. He didn't need this wealth and could live a wonderful life than anyone else.

His talent makes many people in the Meng family love and hate it. What they hate is that they cannot force him to come back, and what they love is that if he can return to the Meng family, the group with the Meng family as the core may usher in a new era full of hope.

Meng Huo has conquered the trust of many people with Phoenix Company in recent years.

Now he accidentally reached a critical position. "Chess Soul" has been linked to the Meng family. This is the first time that it has entered the eyes of all the senior management of the group, and everyone is observing its achievements.

If it can improve the Go industry to a certain extent, Meng Huo will invisibly establish the trust of everyone, and there will be no resistance to come back in the future.
