Chapter 105: Chief Financial Officer
"Young master, the chairman is invited."
On Saturday morning, Meng heard the bell ringing and opened the door to see a man in a suit standing guard at the door.
"Ah, okay."
He was stunned, turned off the air conditioner at home and walked out the door.
Four works were sold one after another, but Meng Huo's life did not change. Li Qin went to visit He Qian in the hospital in the morning, and Meng Xu wanted to rest, but he didn't expect Xu Jing to come to him. The man in the suit opened the elevator door in advance, let Meng Huo go in first, and then walked into the elevator like a bodyguard, stood in front and pressed the floor.
His movements made Meng Shu a little strange.
"Are you a bodyguard?"
"Yes, young master."
"Don't call me young master, I don't like that title."
"What do you call you?"
"It's good to call Meng Huo."
"That's not good, the identity is different, and the direct name will affect your image."
The bodyguard smiled, now is not a feudal society, there is no concept of master and servant, but the title is an important sign of a person's identity. If the bodyguards can directly address the employer's name, then others will feel that the successor of Phoenix has no authority.
He did not accede to Meng's request.
Outside the building, a Lincoln sedan waits on the side of the road, Lincoln is a few notches lower than the brand value of sweat and blood, it is Xu Jing's special car.
Xu Jing's car was worse than Li Tianhui's, Meng Shu lamented the preferential treatment Li Tianhui had received back then, and the bodyguard opened the car door for him in advance, and after Meng Shu got in the car, he saw Xu Jing dressed very casually.
"What are you looking for me?"
Meng Shu asked bluntly.
"It's rare to be free, I'll take you to Fengshan for a walk." Xu Jing smiled: "You stay at home and don't damage your body, it just so happens that I also want to take a walk." ”
"Kaedeyama?" Meng Shu had a little impression that Fengshan is a scenic spot in Ninghai, the altitude is not high, the maple leaves on the mountain are very beautiful, and the tickets are expensive to death: "Why are you so interested, don't you usually accompany your wife at home?" ”
Xu Jing is very interesting, and after getting along for a long time, Meng Shu shows that he is more homesick than a child. According to Alice's explanation, he was too busy with work before, and Xu Jing lacked family warmth, so after he had a successful career, he spent all his free time with his wife.
"Ahem, ahem, I'm not just at home."
Xu Jing's old face was slightly red, and he hurriedly changed the topic and ordered the driver to drive.
Lincoln's sedan slowly drove towards Fengshan, Xu Jing recovered from his blush, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Meng Shu, the results of "Five Centimeters in Second" are quite amazing. ”
"How much is sold?"
Meng Shu asked.
"9o thousand! Be surprised! ”
Xu Jingle gave a few thumbs up and said: "The report is nearly 9o million copies, the company intends to increase advertising, and the final sales are expected to exceed 1ooo million copies, if this number is successful, you will be the savior of Huaxia Comics!" ”
When he received this newspaper last night, Xu Jing didn't even sleep well all night, but fortunately he wasn't so excited now.
1ooo million copies of comics sold, and it is a single book sales, this number can also enter the top of the pyramid in the fiction industry, and it is an unprecedented bomb in the comics industry. From the rise of manga to the present, including the adaptation of manga, no manga has sold this figure.
"1ooo million copies, that's nothing remarkable."
Meng Shu was a little disappointed, the sales of "Detective Conan" were 8 or 9oo thousand, and "Five Centimeters in Second" was just over this number in his eyes.
But what he didn't know was that the impact of this number on the market was actually very large.
In the Chinese cultural market, 1ooo million sales is a watershed, "Detective Conan" created a remarkable miracle when it was sold, it is known as the most saturated product in the comic market in the industry, it is difficult to break through again, and this second volume sales are proof.
Due to the limitations of various factors such as comic audiences, channels, and advertising promotion, it is difficult for a single comic to continue to rise if it sells 8ooo, and if "5 Centimeters in Seconds" can break through 1ooo, the potential value of the comic market will explode, and the industry will undergo amazing changes.
Capitalists will be interested in this market, and the state will also value it, and both capital and business opportunities will increase. For Phoenix, the most direct benefit is that more places and channel providers will extend olive branches to them, so that their channels can be expanded.
"It's not a big deal."
When Xu Jing heard Meng Shu's words, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your words are really incredible." ”
This sentence should be heard by other cartoonists or other comic companies, and I don't know how many people will be angry and admitted to the hospital. Selling 1ooo copies is a goal that everyone desires but can't reach, but Meng Shu takes it for granted.
But that's okay, Xu Jingle is like this, he won't explain, and it will increase Meng Shu's pressure in vain.
And there are still many variables in the future, and he can't be sure that "Five Centimeters in a Second" will be able to pass 1ooo million copies. After that, the entire comics industry will benefit, and the expanded business opportunities and channels will make publishing companies and cartoonists make more money, and the sales of magazines will increase in the future.
But this is also a challenge for Phoenix Company, the market situation is changing, and it is easy to make a dowry for others.
Xu Jing wanted to remind Meng Shu not to be proud, but at this time, the Lincoln car suddenly stopped.
"Have you arrived?"
Meng Shu asked in surprise, it's only been a few minutes.
"Not yet, someone has arrived, I'm going to let you see someone."
Xu Jing turned his head, and then the car door opened, and a middle-aged man bent over and walked up.
"Good morning, Chairman." He nodded to Xu Jing, then looked at Meng Shu, and introduced himself: "First time we meet, what a pity, teacher, I am Lin Mingzhe, the financial director of Phoenix Company, and the funds for your establishment of the animation production department will be reviewed by me." ”
Meng Shu was slightly stunned.
"Mingzhe will go for a walk with us in Fengshan."
Xu Jing smiled and said to Meng Shu: "I promised you to set up an animation department, but you have to do it yourself." ”
The condition for the formation of the animation department is that Meng won 25% of the shares, and the three comics and one novel sold this time should all add up to 8ooo million royalties, plus Li Qin's 2ooo million shares, Meng Huo has completed the conditions of the gambling contract.
Of course, this refers to the beginning of the bet, and it has little to do with the rest of it.
Meng Shu reacted from his surprise, and there was a burst of joy in his heart, it turned out that Xu Jing called him out to talk about this matter.
"Director Lin, please give me more advice in the future."
"I'll be as cooperative as I can."
Lin Mingzhe nodded gently, he knew that the child in front of him was not only a cash cow, but also the helmsman of Phoenix Company in the future, so he would naturally cooperate seriously.
The interaction between the two made Xu Jing breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Mingzhe was his right and left hand, and he could bow his head and cooperate with Meng Shu, which would be of great benefit to Phoenix's future. And Meng Huo's attitude is also very good, he is not like Li Tianhui, he will definitely make Lin Mingzhe satisfied.
