Chapter 34: Investing in Phoenix

Shen Jie kept her word, and actually asked Meng Huo to drink mineral water, which was bottled in a medium size.

She also bought a bottle herself, and the two of them sat on the bench by the street, Shen Jie didn't seem to want to continue talking, she sipped water like drinking wine, her petite face looked very mysterious under the faint street light.

"Okay, I'm going back!"

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

Meng Huo wanted to applaud her, this guy's skill is really good.

Shen Jie put on her hat, picked up the booklet of "Detective Conan", and waved her hand gracefully, turned around and left.

Meng Huo looked at her back, hesitated for a moment, and then called out, "Hey, if you miss home, you can tell me, and I'll buy you as much mineral water as you want."

"Hey, hey, don't expose other people's thoughts casually, okay?" Shen Jie paused, then turned around and said with a smile: "I don't like boys who are too smart, but I will remember your words, and I won't be able to look for you in the future." Just let me fly."

"I'm not busy at work, I can come here."

Meng Huo smiled slightly.

He watched Shen Jie climb over the wall and return to school, and turned away after there was no more movement.

In the next few days, while studying the new ability, Meng Huo paid attention to the follow-up situation in the booklet. The booklet of "Detective Conan" has gradually been sold across the country, and the sales volume has continued to rise, and readers from all over the world have rushed to buy it.

'The most popular original comics', 'a masterpiece of comics with sales comparable to best-selling novels', 'the No. Conan, and the most important thing is that it defeated Sherlock.

The news media finally found such a topic, so naturally they spared no effort to hype it up. And the result of this hype is that everyone knows the comic "Detective Conan", which has gained much attention by stepping on the corpse of "Detective Sherlock".

Phoenix Company took the opportunity to add insult to injury. Originally, "Detective Sherlock" had far more sales outlets in mainland China than "Detective Conan". However, wherever it appears now, "Detective Conan" will appear there.

When readers see these two comics, the bookstore owner will tell them that "Detective Conan" is more popular than "Detective Sherlock", plus the comparison between the cover and the picture. Most readers chose "Detective Conan", and the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger.

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

The gap between the two has been irreparable.

"I think to be honest, "Detective Conan" is more interesting than the novel adaptation, not only because we can't predict its content, but more importantly, some of the comic techniques He Xi uses. Well, the pacing is perfect for a manga, and those are the skills most lacking in a manga that focuses on adaptations of novels."

"It's surprising that such works appear in the original manga. The adaptation of the novel is not as good as it is, and those mystery novelists always write boring things. Mr. Mach and the Mystery Association have lost, "Detective Conan" is really worth recommending .”

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

"

There are also many comments from senior people on the Internet. These comments represent that "Detective Conan" has entered the eyes of the upper class.

It has gradually invaded all walks of life, and its influence is growing. Phoenix Company has received copyright requests from many writers, film companies, animation companies, and even game companies. Of course, the final decision on these copyrights is still in Meng Huo's hands.

"Detective Conan" was released not long ago. Even if the copyright was sold, there was not enough content to support various adaptations and evolutions. Those companies and individuals just wanted to start early. But Meng Huo was not short of money, so he refused.

While refusing, he worried about how to explain the sales volume to Li Qin. Meng Huo told Li Qin that the sales volume was one million, but now it has increased eight times, and his royalty income after tax deduction is still more than ten million, and it will even exceed twenty million Huaxia coins in a while.

What to do with so much money?

However, when Meng Huo was hesitating, 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 remembered that Meng Huo said that one million yuan could get more than two million Huaxia coins, so wouldn't 8.5 million yuan be more than 17 million Huaxia coins?

She couldn't bear the stimulation and passed out.

Meng Huo was studying with Alice in the third year of high school in the study at the time. When he went out to see Li Qin fainted, both of them were startled. They hurriedly helped Li Qin to the room, covered her face with towels and took medicine. It took a long time for Li Qin to wake up.

The mother just woke up, and the first thing she said was: "Xiao Huo, even if you become the president of the country in the future, I won't faint."

Li Qin resigned to her fate, and her son must not be treated with common sense, and she would not be surprised if anything happened in the future.

After Alice and Meng Huo asked why she fainted, they couldn't help but smile bitterly. But this incident immediately brought about more serious problems. Li Qin wanted to know what Meng Huo planned to do with the money.

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

However, at this moment, Alice suddenly said something astonishing.

"How about using that money to buy shares in Phoenix Company?" The blond editor smiled and said, "Although 20 million won't buy you a lot, the company will definitely 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 be able to give Meng 20 million Huaxia coins in royalties, but the biggest beneficiary of this comic book is not him, but the publisher Phoenix.

In the past few days, Phoenix Company has obtained the income of the previous year. While the company's top management is ecstatic, it is also fearful that Meng Huo will quit and leave.

The priority contract signed by Ye Xiong and Meng Huo could no longer make them feel at ease. After discussion, Phoenix Company adopted a more effective countermeasure. They wanted to turn Meng Huo into a shareholder of the company and tie him up completely.

Undoubtedly, this is a very attractive condition.

Meng Huo thought about it for a few days, and finally he found that the money he earned was not difficult. Regardless of whether he planned to draw other comics, "Detective Conan" alone still has a long lifespan. question.

If so, why pass up this opportunity?

He decided to take a stake in Phoenix Company.
