Chapter 34

Shen Jie's words are true. She actually invited Meng Huo to drink mineral water in a medium-sized bottle.

She bought a bottle herself. They sat on the bench on the street. Shen Jie didn't seem to want to talk any more. She drank like a drink, and her petite face looked very mysterious under the weak street lamp.

"Well, I'll go back!"

Soon, Shen Jie stood up. She threw out the empty water bottle and put it into the dustbin ten meters away.

Meng Huo wants to applaud her. This guy is really good at it.

Shen Jie puts on her hat, picks up the booklet of Detective Conan, waves her hand and turns away.

Meng Huo looked at her back, hesitated for a moment, and cried: "Hey, if you are homesick, you can tell me how much mineral water I will invite you."

"Hey, hey, don't open other people's minds, OK?" Shen Jie body meal, and then turned around, said with a smile: "I don't like too smart boys, but I will remember your words, later find you can't casually let me off the plane."

"I can come over if I'm not busy at work."

Meng Huo smiles.

He watched Shen Jie climb over the wall to go back to school. He didn't leave until there was no more movement.

In the following days, Meng Huo paid attention to the follow-up situation of the booklet while studying new abilities《 The famous detective Conan has been gradually sold to the whole country, and the sales volume continues to rise, and readers all over the country rush to buy it.

"The most popular original cartoon", "the best-selling comic masterpiece", "the first detective cartoon in history", "the most collectable youth cartoon"... There are too many titles attached to "Detective Conan", and the most important thing is that it defeated "detective Shylock".

The news media finally found such a topic and naturally spared no effort to hype it. And the result of this hype is that everyone knows the cartoon "Detective Conan", which has won the attention of the public by stepping on the corpse of "detective Shylock".

Phoenix company took the opportunity to go down the drain. Originally, the mainland sales point of "detective Shylock" was far more than "Detective Conan". However, where it appears now, "Detective Conan" will appear.

When readers see these two comic books, the bookstore owner will tell them that "Detective Conan" is more popular than "detective Shylock", plus the contrast between the cover and the picture. Most readers choose Detective Conan, the gap between the two is growing.

Five days later, the total sales of Detective Conan in China exceeded 8 million copies, faster than experts predicted, while the total sales of detective Shylock in the same period was only 5 million copies.

The gap between the two is irreparable.

"I want to be honest, Detective Conan is more interesting than the adaptation of the novel, not only because we can't predict its content, but also because He Xi uses some comic skills. He does well in the details of the lens, the characters and the environment, and the rhythm is very suitable for the comic. These are the skills that the comic focusing on the adaptation of the novel lacks."

"It's amazing that there are such works in original comics. The adaptations of novels are not as good as those of reasoning novelists, and they always write boring things. "Detective Conan is really worth recommending."

"It's good to draw detective stories with a young mind. The picture is excellent. He Xi's comics feel like he is looking at the scenery, and he is still making progress. I think one day he will describe the story as beautiful as a movie. "

There are also many senior people's comments on the Internet, which represent that "Detective Conan" has entered the eyes of the upper class.

It gradually intrudes into all walks of life and has become more and more influential. Phoenix company has received copyright requests from many writers, film companies, animation companies and even game companies. Of course, Meng Huo still has the final decision on these copyrights.

Soon after the release of Detective Conan, even if the copyright is sold, there is not enough content to support various adaptations and evolutions. Those companies and individuals just want to start ahead of time. But Meng Huo was not short of money, so he refused.

While refusing, he worries about how to explain the sales volume to Li Qin. Meng Huo told Li Qin that his sales volume is one million, but now it has increased eight times, and his royalty income after tax is still more than 10 million, and even more than 20 million Chinese dollars in a while.

How to say so much money?

However, when Meng Huo hesitated, Li Qin inadvertently saw the news from the news, and when she saw it, the sales volume had exceeded 8.5 million copies. Li Qin vaguely remembers Meng Huo's saying that one million yuan is worth more than two million Chinese dollars, and eight and a half million copies is more than 17 million Chinese dollars?

She couldn't bear the excitement and fainted.Meng Huo and Alice were studying the knowledge of senior three at that time. When they went out to see Li Qin fainting, they were both startled. They helped Li Qin to the room, put a towel on her face and took medicine. It took them a long time to wake up.

The mother just woke up and said, "Xiao Huo, even if you become the president of the country, I won't faint."

Li Qin has accepted her fate. Her son can't treat it with common sense. She won't be surprised how much trouble will happen in the future.

After Alice and Meng Huo asked why she fainted, they both had a bitter smile. However, this incident immediately brought more serious problems. Li Qin wanted to know what Meng Huo was going to do with the money.

Meng Huo told her that she had no plans for the time being, and it would be several months before she could get the money.

At this moment, however, Alice suddenly said something amazing.

"How about using that money to buy shares in Phoenix?" The blonde editor said with a smile: "although 20 million can't buy a lot, the company will be happy to sell it to you."

Her words are not groundless. In fact, this is the instruction given to her by the chairman of Phoenix company《 Detective Conan will soon get Meng 20 million Chinese dollars in royalties. However, the biggest beneficiary of this comic book is not him, but the publisher Phoenix company.

In the past few days, Phoenix company has gained the profits of the past year. While the company's top management is ecstatic, they are also afraid that Meng Huo will leave.

The preferential contract signed by Ye Xiong and Meng Huo can no longer make them feel at ease. After discussion, Phoenix company adopted a more effective strategy. They want to turn Meng Huo into a shareholder of the company and completely tie him together.

Undoubtedly, this is a very attractive condition.

Meng Huo thought for a few days, and finally he found that the money he made was not difficult. For the time being, no matter whether he planned to draw other cartoons, Detective Conan alone would still have a long life. It's not a problem to send dozens of pamphlets.

In this case, why give up this opportunity?

He decided to take a stake in Phoenix.
