My Animation Era

After persuasion, Jones finally accepted Gu Miao's kindness, and the company would sponsor Sanjie's future studies.

no way!

Jones doesn't want to owe a favor, but college tuition here in North America is too expensive. Many people have to work for almost 20 years before they can barely pay off their tuition loans.

Now that a kind person has come forward, he will not only bear Sanjay's future tuition and living expenses, but also help find channels for prestigious schools, completely eliminating Jones' worries, so why hesitate?

As for enjoying the preferential treatment and funding from the company, you have to pay for it, which Jones thinks is reasonable.

There is no free lunch in the world.

You don't want to pay anything, and you still want the benefits of prostitution for free. How can such a good thing be possible?

Moreover.

Gu Miao didn't impose it, she just admired this little guy Sanjie. Even if he became Shang Zhongyong in the future, it wouldn't actually matter.

When investing in the future, who can guarantee a 100% return?

It's nothing more than sponsoring a tuition fee. For Gu Miao, who is worth tens of billions, it's just a drop in the bucket. It's a trivial thing, and it's too meaningless to have to worry about the return.

After Jones left, Gu Miao did not rush to see little Sanjie. Instead, she asked Dave to be the guide and rushed to California overnight.

What's so special about California?

To be honest, there was nothing that attracted Gu Miao, and he had no relatives or friends living in California.

The reason why he came to California and rushed there overnight was mainly because the target of his North American trip was currently on vacation in California.

"George Brooker is the uncrowned king of North American comics! Mardete Comics, founded by him, is the comic publishing company with the highest circulation and highest market recognition in North America."

As Dave walked away, he explained to Gu Miao and Nan Tong: "Because I used to work on comic adaptations and animations, I have dealt with him before. He is a bad old man who is very difficult to deal with."

"How difficult is it?" Gu Miao asked.

"Let's put it this way, in the early years, George may have had feelings for MD Comics, and he was a relatively pure cartoonist. But now George is a complete villain businessman, and he completely regards MD Company as a cash cow." Dai Husband explained.

MD Comics?

When Gu Miao suddenly heard this abbreviation, black lines appeared on her forehead. She wanted to complain, who came up with this abbreviation? Can you be more serious?

All right!

The name is not the point.

The point is that this comic company, referred to as "Made", is regarded as the representative of American comics in this era, equivalent to the parallel world version of "Marvel Comics".

Considering the future development of Wanbao Comics and the future and potential of American comic superheroes, Gu Miao wants to take advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention and buy this treasure company at a low price.

But obviously.

According to Dave's description, the founder and chairman of Mardete Comics Company is very difficult to deal with. As a cunning and slippery businessman, Gu Miao is very likely to be ripped off by him.

This made Gu Miao feel very bad.

After arriving at the agreed-upon location, an inconspicuous villa, Gu Miao met George Brook, an old man with gray hair and a cane who looked very shrewd and cunning.

"Welcome, our guest from China!"

"Thanks!"

Thanks to Dave's warning in advance, Gu Miao was not deceived by the bad old man's kind looks, and quickly saw through the old man's true face.

Still want to dig a hole to harm him?

He was young, but being young didn't mean he was stupid. It was strange that Gu Miao couldn't spot such obvious rip-off tactics.

…

"This old man is full of bad ideas and wants to kill us severely!"

When leaving the villa, Nan Tong said angrily: "Mardete Comics Company is only worth two to three billion US dollars at most. He said it was one billion. I don't know where he got the courage..."

"The starting price is this."

Compared to Nantong's anger, Gu Miao was very calm and just listened to him say: "He wants to kill us, so we just don't buy it."

The reason why I want to acquire Mardete Comics Company is simply to open up the situation as soon as possible and at the same time grab a batch of high-quality American comic IPs at a low price.

But let’s be honest.

Even without acquiring Mardete Comics, these goals can still be achieved. Even if we really want to open up the situation through acquisition, is Mardete the only option?

Certainly not!

Although Mardete Comics is the comic company with the largest market share in North America and the largest number of original IPs, it is not Wanbao Comics’ only choice.

"Actually there is another company."

Nantong hesitated and said: "When I was initially selected, I wanted to acquire this comic company and use it as a springboard to expand in North America."

"But this company is relatively small in scale, and there are many private goods embedded in its works, which are of a special nature..."

ah? Special nature? !

Gu Miao was a little surprised. It was just implanting private goods. Many comics were doing this. Why did Nan Tong look embarrassed when he mentioned this company?

"Of course I wouldn't call it ordinary implantation of private goods. The main reason why I excluded this company is because they like to play the cards of political correctness, ideology and patriotism in their works."

When Nantong said this, the corner of his mouth twitched and said: "You said this kind of comic company, do I dare to contact it?"

That does have a bad impact.

Their main focus is patriotism and the dream of a bad country, and their works are all in line with the mainstream of North American society.

This is certainly nothing in the eyes of ordinary people. After all, there are still many people who like Wolf Warrior.

But in the eyes of foreigners like Gu Miao and Nantong, the nature is completely different. They are North American Wolf Warriors. You, a Chinese company, want to acquire them?

Brother, you haven’t woken up yet!

Even if someone is willing to sell it, do you really dare to buy it? If you acquire such a company and then expose its works to others, Wanbao will not be scolded to death in China?

"It doesn't matter!"

Gu Miao shrugged and said: "As long as the work does not denigrate China or target Chinese people, I think it is acceptable."

As for the "American political correctness" that Nantong was concerned about, and the inexplicable sense of responsibility and mission in the United States that always regards itself as protecting the world, Gu Miao felt that it was normal.

When this comic is published, it is for ordinary people to read. If that is the case, then the plot should be more exciting and let the old American giegie save the world?

Domestic online novels, in the early days, were still clamoring for the slaughter of Japan and the destruction of the United States...

To put it bluntly, we don’t engage in double standards.

As long as this company does not embed private content about China in its works, the rest of the American dream, political correctness and personal heroism are actually nothing.

"Do you want to have some contact?"

Nantong was a little hesitant, and seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and said, "But the protagonists of the comics owned by this company seem to be non-human beings..."

Non-human? !

Isn’t that just right! Gu Miao, who was originally not very interested, suddenly became excited when she heard that all the protagonists were non-human.

Sorry, overslept
