Chapter 180

In the early morning, the first airport in Ninghai was filled with fog.

Yang Liang, the person in charge of Zhongxia cartoon company in Ninghai, paced around the exit, looking flustered.

"Why doesn't Duke Anthony come out? There won't be any accident, will there? "

"Minister, minister, I just got the news that the Duke has left the airport," he thought anxiously

"What?" Yang Liang stopped and said angrily, "it's impossible. I've been staring at him. How can he leave?"

"I don't know..." the Secretary wiped his sweat. "But from the surveillance screen, Duke Anthony did leave the airport. He avoided us."

"Why avoid us?"

After Yang Liang asked, he felt that he had asked an idiot. Zhongxia company asked Duke Antony to come here to deal with He Xi, but the Duke obviously had his own idea. He didn't pay attention to Zhongxia at all.

"Forget it, go and look for it."

Yang Liang shakes his head. Anyway, Duke Anthony's identity is too sensitive. If anything happens, the whole midsummer will be in trouble.

However, at the same time when they were worried, Anthony was walking on the street of Ninghai.

"Duke... Master, the hotel has been arranged. Would you like to go back and have a rest on your long journey?"

Behind Anthony was a blonde over 50, with a respectful look. This woman was Antony's housekeeper and maid. She wanted to call the Duke, but in order to avoid passers-by, she used the word "master".

There were also several white bodyguards in casual clothes. They were tall, but when they were walking in the street, they didn't cause a lot of reaction except the occasional glances.

"Ninghai, the capital of immigrants, is worthy of its name."

Anthony sighed that in addition to Chinese people, some white and black people can be seen on the street, and even some shop operators are white. People in this city seem to be used to other skin colors. If Anthony didn't have a few bodyguards around him, maybe no one would pay attention to them.

"Annie, I'm not tired." Anthony told the blonde, "check out where there's a bookstore nearby. I'm going to see it."

"Yes, sir..." Annie answered in standard Chinese. She made a phone call with her mobile phone. In a few minutes, a map information was delivered to her.

"This way, please." Annie skillfully leads the way for Antony. They don't take two steps. Antony suddenly stops and his eyes are attracted by the poster pasted on the glass door of a cake shop.

——Ten million sales, not to be missed, "five centimeters per second" hardcover edition, coming on sale——

This is the title of the poster. Under the title is the scene of a cherry blossom tree blooming with petals flying. A man and a woman stand on both sides, facing each other, full of unspeakable beauty and sadness.

"The most real and moving love cartoon in history, He Xi's peak work."

Looking at the sentence in the lower right corner of the picture, Anthony frowned slightly: "what's the pity?"

He Xi is the target of his coming here this time. I didn't expect that he was good at drawing detective comics and even love comics

"Ten million sales." Annie noticed the figures on the poster and exclaimed, "God, his comic book sales have reached this level. Andrew of the United States will lose to him."

"No..."

Anthony shook his head.

"The population base of China is different. Ten million sales are equivalent to our one million sales. There is no comparability." He flashed his eyes and said, "besides comics, Ender is also good at sports and music. He is the idol of our young people. He should be better than He Xi."

"Few people in the world can be as good as Ender." Anthony turned and said, "come on, let's go to the bookstore."

They found a bookstore nearby, named Jiayuan, a medium-sized bookstore.

Annie asked the female bookseller, but she was surprised: "do you want to buy all the works of Teacher He Xi, as well as the magazine" weekly youth "and" weekly girl "which have not yet been sold? I'm sorry... We don't have so many books. "

The bookseller is almost dizzy. He Xi's works have always been popular. Ninghai has the best supply of goods, but no bookstore can take out He Xi's suits for sale. This time, the customer's requirements are too high.

"You want all the comic books. We can collect them from our partners." The bookseller calmed down, thought for a while, and replied, "but there's nothing we can do about the weekly boy and the weekly girl."

After CCTV news broadcast, He Xi's comic books have been printed. Although Jiayuan bookstore is not complete, it can transfer goods from other channels. It's a pity that the two comic weekly magazines didn't have the preferential treatment of printing. They were completely gone after they were sold out."What shall we do, sir?"

Annie turns to Anthony.

"If you buy a single edition, you can let people look for two magazines. How many can you find?" Anthony didn't care. He raised his head and asked, "do you have all the pamphlets of Sherlock?"

This time, the bookseller's eyes brightened: "all of them, old man. Sherlock just finished yesterday. Do you want to buy one set?"

"That's good." Anthony nodded: "you prepare one for me."

"No problem..." the bookseller was excited. Although the old man's request was strange, He Xi's full set of works, together with the full set of detective Shylock, amounted to nearly 2000 Chinese dollars.

"Just a moment, I'll arrange for you to go to the VIP area..." the bookseller didn't dare to neglect and said, "you can have tea there first. We'll collect teacher He Xi's pamphlet for you in half an hour."

She arranged for Anthony to sit down and rest in the VIP area. When she left, Annie asked.

"You come to Ninghai to see He Xi's reality. Master... Why don't you rely on the help of Zhongxia company? As long as you say it, they will definitely have everything ready. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Anthony took a sip of coffee and frowned slightly. He didn't like the taste of cheap coffee, so he put it down.

"I'm more confident in the results of my own investigation than I've been given information."

Anthony answered, and took out the comic of Sherlock.

Zhongxia company has its own plan. Anthony doesn't want to rely on the information they provide, which is easy to affect his judgment.

He watched Shylock in silence. As the original work of the novel, Anthony was not interested in reading comic books after he heard that it was defeated. But this time, he had an unexpected discovery.

"This cartoon is good..."

The cartoon of Sherlock is not as bad as expected. On the contrary, its drawing skills are very good. The original story is rather cold, but the style of the cartoon tends to be bright, which is more suitable for marketing.

This kind of cartoon was lost to He Xi, who just came out?

"Maybe I underestimated him..."

Anthony thought. At this moment, Anne's voice sounded in surprise: "Duke... No, sir, look at the poster on the wall!"

She reached for the poster on the side of the VIP area.

Anthony looked up. It was a poster of a teenager. As a westerner, Anthony finds it difficult to distinguish the details of Chinese people's appearance, but this teenager gives him a different feeling.

"Gentlemen are like jade... I see. I finally understand why they use jade to describe men." He exclaimed: "is that the star of China? His face is very delicate. "

That's the unique delicacy of Oriental people. In Anthony's opinion, the boy on the poster has a bit of mysterious and elegant temperament, but that's all

"What's so strange about that poster?" He looked around, and found nothing special: "isn't it just a star poster?"

It's very normal that star posters appear in bookstores. Many books rely on Star publicity. Anthony doesn't know why Annie makes such a fuss.

"No, sir..." Annie swallowed: "there is no label on this poster. It's taken secretly. I heard other guests talking just now. The boy above is He Xi you are looking for. "

"What's the pity?"

Anthony was stunned. He turned his head and stared at the poster on the wall, frowning. He Xi was so outstanding.

"Is there anyone in the world who can surpass Ender?"

He became more and more interested in He Xi
