Chapter 807: Take Advantage
"Music shows emotions, while comics tell stories..."
In the morning, Meng Huo was eating noodles while watching Xia Chuan's answers on TV. She was already a professional star with a smile on her face.↗She described music as emotions, while comics were stories. The two combined together meant the secret that gave the soul of the ending song of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00".
"This child is really good." Li Qin sat next to Meng Huo. After a few months, she came to Manga Island to visit Meng Huo again. At this time, she was also watching TV, praised Xia Chuan Shi, and sighed: "I don't know when I will see this girl again. I haven't seen her and Miss Ryoko for a long time."
When Xia Chuan Shi first debuted, she and her mother Xia Chuan Ryoko also had a good relationship with Li Qin. The mother and daughter also helped a lot when Chen Jie had an accident. However, after many years, Li Qin and them became increasingly unfamiliar. At this moment, Li Qin suddenly missed her in her heart when she saw the TV.
"They are very busy and there shouldn't be any chance recently." Meng Huo frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. If you want to see them, I will notify them and let them see you when they go to Ninghai for performances."
Ninghai is a place that voice actors pay great attention to, and there are often performances. However, the schedule has always been tight, and Meng Huo thought that next time the office would give Xia Chuan more real time and let them see Li Qin.
Li Qin didn't know that things were so troublesome, and she seemed very happy after hearing Meng Huo's words: "Okay, when will they come? You can notify me when will I come. I will treat them warmly."
What she lacks the most is the enthusiasm to entertain others. When it comes to interactions between people, Meng Huo believes that Li Qin does better than herself. When he first came to Ninghai a few years ago, he was actually worried that Li Qin would not be able to adapt, but now Li Qin gets along well with her around her, and everyone likes her very much.
After breakfast, Li Qin cleaned up the dishes, but Meng Huo still had to go to work and had no time to accompany her in the apartment. He asked, "Mom, are you going to the Meng family today? If you go, I will prepare a car for you later."
Li Qin shook her head: "No, I'll stay here today. I want to take a walk on Manga Island, buy something by the way, and then go to see your grandma tomorrow."
"Then I'll arrange for someone to accompany you." Meng Huo nodded and reminded: "Don't go out at home first. I'll have someone to take you shopping later. She is very familiar with comic island."
Li Qin nodded with a smile. After watching Meng Huo leave, she took the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen to clean it. Then she sat and watched TV for a while, and soon she heard the doorbell ringing.
"Who will it be?" Li Qin walked over and opened the door. She was stunned for a moment when she opened the door, and a thought suddenly appeared in her mind: "It's not enough for this child to harm Chen Jie and Alice? Why are you going to attract bees and butterflies again!"
Outside the door is a very beautiful woman.
"Aunt Qin, good morning." The woman greeted her openly. After Li Qin was stunned, she looked at her carefully for a few seconds before she remembered this person. "Qin Ya, it's you... Look at my memory, come in quickly!"
She remembered the identity of this beautiful woman. Qin Ya, two years older than Meng Huo, is a very famous female cartoonist.
Li Qin and Qin Ya have seen each other before, but they didn't have many times, and she forgot it for a while. However, after recognizing her, the absurd thoughts in Li Qin disappeared. Qin Ya is different from Alice and the others, and she is just a work relationship with Meng Huo.
"Do you want water?"
After Qin Ya came in, Li Qin asked.
"No need." Qin Ya shook her head and looked around for a few times. Although she had been to Meng Huo's apartment, she felt very fresh every time she came: "Aunt Qin, Teacher He Xi said she asked me to take you out for fun. He has found the right person this time!"
She said confidently that Meng Huo called her to give her this task just now, and she could have a day off, so Qin Ya immediately agreed. In terms of her familiarity with Manga Island, except Zhou Qian, she is not inferior to anyone around Meng Huo. However, even Zhou Qian, who is responsible for the commercial planning of Manga Island, she is not as familiar with Qin Ya in terms of food, drink and entertainment.
"Then I'll trouble you." Li Qin likes Qin Ya's confidence very much and said with a smile: "I've come to Manhua Island many times, but I haven't walked through it thoroughly yet. You have to take me around this time."
She was very curious about Manga Island. Of course, the key point was that she wanted to buy something outside on Manga Island that was not available. The comic artists in Ninghai were so happy to hear that Li Qin came to Manga Island to visit Meng Huo, and they asked Li Qin to help them buy things.
Li Qinquan took it. She found the list of things she wanted to buy from the room, then took out the bank card, and walked out with Qin Ya.
"What Aunt Qin wants to buy? The things here are generally very expensive, but I can take you to the cheapest place to help you save the price." Qin Ya said on the way: "I'm very good at saving price!"
"Is that?" Li Qin was a little surprised. In her impression, professional cartoonists were all a group of wealthy people who never stole the price - even Teacher Hua Meng didn't see any price cuts: "Then you are so special."
"But I think the things here are quite cheap..." Li Qin smiled again: "It's not easy to do some business in Manga Island. I heard that they are all from other places to help Manga Island develop, so there is no need to kill any price."
Li Qin still remembers the appearance of Manga Island when it was first established. At that time, there was nothing here. In her eyes, the merchants here were all amazing people and were all helping Meng Huo. They should not be treated with the idea of being greedy for cheapness.
Qin Ya thought about who Li Qin is? She is He Xi's mother. Do you need to make a price cut? "Then I'll take you to the best place." Qin Ya said. She actually didn't care about the price cut. In fact, what she liked was the feeling of making a price cut.
The shopping list given to Li Qin by Ninghai's cartoonists was full of writing, but fortunately, the things on it were not difficult to find, nor were they very heavy or large, and the cartoonists didn't want Li Qin to work too hard.
The first thing they went to buy was animated Blu-ray discs, which alone accounted for one-third of the shopping list.
"Well, let's take a look... "Chong Yi Lie 3", "Gundam ed2", "The Complete Works of Magic Girl Xiaoyuan"..." After taking a thick stack, Li Qin checked one by one, and then asked the clerk to put them all away after confirming that there were no errors.
"These are not cheap..." Qin Ya thought to herself that these video discs are exquisitely packaged collector's editions, and there are gifts in them. It is difficult to buy outside the comic island. The expensive ones are even close to 1,000 Chinese coins, and the total amount is at least 10,000 yuan.
She knew that Li Qin was not a noble lady, just like her mother, Li Qin was also a member of an ordinary mother. Although she had a lot of cash, she bought more than 10,000 yuan in Blu-ray discs. I believe Li Qin would feel uncomfortable...
Qin Ya remembered her mother, and she didn't care about buying a house and a camera, but if she bought a DVD worth 1,000, she would have to be scolded to death by her mother. For the older generation, DVDs could not be such a valuable thing.
"Madam...it's 4380 in total..." However, just as Qin Ya was thinking about it, she suddenly heard the clerk's checkout and was stunned.
"4380?", "Yes, 4380 Chinese currency."
Just when Qin Ya was stunned, Li Qin had already settled the bill with the clerk, and then walked back with a large bag of Blu-ray discs.
"Okay, let's go out, what's wrong with you?" She walked to Qin Ya and said.
Qin Ya came to her senses and glanced at the clerk in surprise: "No, nothing..."
She walked out of the store with a wonderful mood and looked back at the store name. This store was purchased from the official channel of Phoenix Company. It was impossible for fakes to have them, but the price just now was half less than Qin Ya guessed.
"I'm back to the initial price, is it because of Aunt Qin?"
Qin Ya couldn't help but think that the price of more than 4,000 is actually not surprising. If these collectible versions of the DVDs were calculated based on the price when they were first released, the total number would be this.
However, this is impossible, because every time such limited goods appear, the outside market will be sold out immediately, and merchants on Manga Island have more inventory. They will deliberately leave a part of it and then sell it slowly. The prices will rise at different scales of different works.
For example, like "Gundam Colored Ed", it might have been a collector's Blu-ray disc that was 100 yuan. After a few years, there is nowhere to buy it outside. Now it takes 500 yuan to buy it. The store just now seemed to have deliberately lowered the price...
"Aunt Qin, have you bought something here before?" Qin Ya asked.
"Well, I bought it." Li Qin smiled and said, "The shops here are very kind. I heard many people say that the things here are expensive, but I don't feel that way."
Her words made Qin Ya even more suspicious. In order to prove her idea, Qin Ya took Li Qin to some stores. Without exception, she found that Li Qin was very cheap to buy things, and each store tacitly gave her affordable prices.
"Are Zhou Qian too enthusiastic..." Qin Ya couldn't help thinking this way. She doubted whether Zhou Qian had reminded the merchants on Comic Island to pay attention to Li Qin and deliberately gave her discounts. However, the merchants on Comic Island were all developed by fans and formed several groups. It seems that it is not surprising that they know Li Qin's identity.
Was Zhou Qian reminded the merchants or their own actions when they arrived? Qin Ya didn't know what the answer was, but she slowly saw one thing, a very critical and important thing.
"There are discounts everywhere when you are with Aunt Qin, and I can take advantage of it..."
