Chapter 110

In the park, under the street lights.

"Why are you always staring at me?"

Meng Huo wrapped his scarf and asked uneasily.

"Lv Xue said you were strange." Alice looked him up and down. "I want to see what's strange about you."

"I wonder?"

Meng Huo was stunned. He said with a bitter smile, "she suddenly hugged me. I was so scared that I pushed her away. What's strange?"

Alice saw the same thing. She thought, "can I give you a hug?"

"Good."

Meng Huo opened his hand to Alice gracefully: "come on!"

Alice gave a little smile, bent over and hugged her. She was very tall and looked like a brother and sister.

"That's right."

Meng Huo holds Alice back.

Alice was startled, her heart beat a few times, and she let go immediately: "forget it, forget it, I'm wrong."

She and Meng Huo separate, eyes panic looking at Meng Huo, he looks normal, but with a smile in his eyes.

"You won..."

Alice is good. Meng Huo is really a charming boy. If she is too close, it may not be good for women. We should pay attention to it in the future.

"Come on, go back."

At the end of the meeting with LV Xue, Alice believes there will be no problem. As she guessed, "five centimeters per second" sales showed no sign of declining. He Xi and his comics have received a lot of attention, more and more people turn their eyes to him, and the TV station has repeatedly invited him to participate in the program.

Phoenix company constantly strengthen publicity, employees are as excited as chicken blood.

However, at this time of prosperity, a news broadcast by CCTV changed the world.

"According to our news, on December 23, Zhongxia comics company was established in Yanjing. Next week, Zhongxia daily, a comic magazine, will be on sale in major bookstores across the country from Monday to Friday. Zhongxia company has reached an agreement with Longteng company, and Longteng cartoon department has been acquired by Zhongxia for 300 million Huaxia dollars. "

"Zhongxia company announced to cooperate with local TV stations, Tianhui animation production and other animation companies... It is reported that 90% of the first graduates majoring in cartoon from Yanjing University choose to join Zhongxia and the corresponding animation production companies for internship..."

"Some experts commented that the establishment of Zhongxia company will promote the maturity of China's cartoon and animation industry ten years ahead of schedule."

Just overnight, with this news, the Chinese cartoon industry has undergone an amazing reversal.

All the media and TV stations are aiming at the newly established Zhongxia company, and He Xi and his cartoons have obviously become supporting roles. No one will marvel at his sales again.

A few days later, Xu Jing hurriedly called Meng Huo to discuss, and there was an unexpected character present - Li Ming, chief editor of Longteng's novels.

Three people sit in the high-end tea room, their faces are different.

"The comic world has been activated, and the capitalists have begun to come in and look for gold." Li Ming first said, "it's inevitable for Longteng to abandon the comic department. I think Mr. Xu knows the reason."

Meng Huo turned his curious eyes to Xu Jing.

"Well." Xu Jing nodded and said to Meng Huo, "have you ever heard of Zhongxia bookstore?"

"Zhongxia Bookstore..."

Meng Huo read from his textbook that Zhongxia bookstore is a national chain bookstore similar to Xinhua bookstore. It covers all regions of China, and even has its spots in remote villages and towns.

"Can Zhongxia comic books be opened by Zhongxia bookstore?"

"You can say that." Xu Jing nodded and explained: "the capitalists behind Zhongxia bookstore are important shareholders of Longteng company. This time, Longteng abandoned the cartoon department for this reason."

"That's right."

Li Ming admitted: "in the final analysis, our company's novel status mainly depends on the channel advantage of Zhongxia bookstore. This time, Zhongxia comics was established. They took away our comics department, of course. "

As the editor in chief of Longteng's novels, Li Ming still has a secret in his heart. Zhongxia and Longteng have signed a win-win cooperation agreement. When Longteng's novels are handed over to Zhongxia comics, they can enjoy a high royalty on the original works, which is almost the same as the original comics department.

Income difference is not big, and can save effort, Longteng simply gave up the cartoon department.

"Zhongxia bookstore, so powerful?"

Meng Huo was a little surprised. He had never been to the bookstore.

"It's powerful, and it's well capitalized." After drinking tea, Xu Jing said slowly, "Zhongxia bookstore is rooted in the grassroots. Its sales volume is the sum of all other bookstores. Nearly 40% of Chinese readers are used to Zhongxia book selection.""Teacher He Xi, you can't see it in Ninghai, because there are all kinds of bookstores here." Li Ming looked at Meng Huo, and then Xu Jing said with a smile, "in county-level cities, there are few bookstores and there are not all kinds of bookstores. The main channel of Phoenix company is to rely on private bookstores. There is no way to compare with Zhongxia."

"Before Zhongxia, they didn't launch comic business. This time, they set up a new company. They don't even need any advertisement. Those comic magazines can appear in major bookstores all over the country. They won't leave any place behind. It's easy for them to surpass you in sales."

Meng Huo was surprised at the seriousness of what Li Ming said.

"Zhongxia is such a good channel, why can't we sell comics through Zhongxia?"

"I'm curious about that, too." Li Ming looked at Xu Jing with a smile and said, "in the past, capitalists were not interested in comics, but now, they may not have found you, have they?"

Xu Jing nodded, said: "Phoenix 30% of the shares, this is their request."

This sentence made Meng Huo wake up. He wanted to take the majority of the shares of Phoenix company. If Xu Jing agreed to give 30%, there would not be much left for the old man. If it was Meng Huo, he would not agree.

"Mr. Xu, sometimes it's better to be generous."

Li Ming didn't know the inside story. He shook his head and said, "the advantages of joining Zhongxia outweigh the disadvantages. You can't match them in terms of funds, channels, publicity and public opinion. Even the quality of cartoonists is worse than them."

"Of course..."

After a pause, Li Ming said with a smile to Meng Huo, "it doesn't include teacher He Xi."

He looked at the time and got up.

"I'm going to get ready for work. Think it over."

Li Ming picked up his briefcase and walked out of the teahouse. Before he left, he stopped and added, "I'd better be frank about some things. The comic world is about to become a red sea of fierce competition. There are more capitalists behind Zhongxia comic books than Zhongxia bookstore, and Zhongxia Bookstore also sells comic books from other places, They are very powerful in manipulating public opinion. "

"Phoenix company has little chance of winning. Mr. He Xi, Longteng company will always open the door for you."

Li Ming leans slightly and turns to leave.

The trend of cartoon industry has come. What Phoenix company can rely on is He Xi's cartoon. Can his cartoon rewrite the fate of a company?

"It's impossible

Let's not mention He Xi. Now that He Xi has published two comics in series, he has no time to prepare for the third one. Even if he is ready, what can one comic do
