Chapter 151: The Phoenix Born from the Fire (Part II)

"Readers' meeting? It's mine? ”

Meng Shu was stunned, and the scene of hundreds of readers lining up in front of him and shaking hands with him one after another suddenly appeared in his mind.

He felt tired just thinking about it, but Xu Jing said that the idea of releasing "Oriental Fantasy Town" made him happy, and he had always had similar thoughts, and the exhibition of comics was inseparable from the exhibition of the same people.

Since "Oriental Gensokyo" is not suitable for cartoonists, encouraging readers to be original may also produce good results, but this requires a premise, that is, readers are willing to dig into the genre.

For readers to want to, you have to make them like it. But in order for them to like it, they must come up with something appealing beforehand - like the games, comics, and anime of "Oriental Gensokyo".

"Forget it......"

Meng Shu shook his head: "It's too troublesome, let's put it first, and then find a chance to release it later." ”

He really wanted to set up a game system, first make the barrage game of "Oriental Gensokyo", and then give it to the cartoonist or other readers to be easily accepted, but Xu Jing would definitely not agree.

"Okay, the matter of the readers' meeting has been postponed for ...... time being"

Seeing that Meng Shu didn't agree, Xu Jing immediately dispelled his thoughts: "I'll help you keep the theme of "Oriental Fantasy Town" first, and if there is a suitable time for launch, you can discuss it with me." ”

Xu Jing asked Alice to put away the information, and said: "There is also the comic copyright of "Pokemon", I agree to accept it, and the contract can be drawn up tomorrow, and you come over at noon to sign it." ”

Meng Huo wanted to hand over the copyright of the comics to Phoenix Company and provide them to other cartoonists for free. It is impossible for Xu Jing to disagree, and the company's buyout copyright fee is not high. As long as a cartoonist succeeds in serialization, he can earn it back.

Two themes, only one of which is implemented in a smooth way. Meng was relieved to be disappointed, at least his work was still good for the company.

However, Meng calmly thought about it, he is not omniscient and omnipotent in this world, even if he has countless cartoons in his head, he has to be down-to-earth in the future. "Pokemon" was burned once, "Five Centimeters Second" had a commotion, and "Oriental Gensokyo" became empty talk...... There must be more obstacles waiting for Meng Huo, and he reminded himself not to be arrogant.

And after the words of the new theme, Xu Jing seems to have something to say.

His face was full of hesitation, and finally he asked out loud, "Meng Shu." Does what you said before still count? ”

"What?"

Meng Shu stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, he looked at Xu Jing strangely, the old man pondered for a long time, and said: "You used to say that even if you become the majority shareholder of the company, you will not be the chairman, do these words still count?" ”

"Of course." Meng nodded and replied, "I don't manage a company, as long as I can draw comics and then do something according to my own ideas, like the current animation, I'm very satisfied." ”

He wants to be the majority shareholder of Phoenix. The main purpose is to want a voice that can be unconstrained by others. As long as this is satisfied, Meng Shu will honestly paint and produce stories.

"That's good." Xu Jing praised with satisfaction: "I'm relieved, Meng Shu." You promised me three things, I will increase your stake in Phoenix to 6o%, and no more deductions will be made from your royalties in the future. What do you think? ”

"Poof......

Meng Shu and Alice squirted out the tea in their mouths at the same time and coughed.

"Don't be kidding......"

"Dad. You are crazy! ”

Both of them were full of disbelief that the old man was not asleep. How could such strange words be uttered? Meng Shu held less than 3o% of the shares, and Xu Jing gave hundreds of millions of shares as soon as he sent it, and it was free, is it possible!

Not only that, but what is even more unscientific about Xu Jing's behavior is that he pushed himself out of the position of major shareholder, and made Meng Xu the actual owner of Phoenix Company.

Meng Huo absolutely didn't believe that such a good thing would fall from the sky.

"I'm not joking...... but Xu Jing's expression was calm, without the slightest smile: "I don't want to explain too much to you, Meng Shu, you just tell me the answer." ”

Xu Jing made this decision because he heard the rumors that Zhongxia was going to spend astronomical sums to poach Meng Huo. Meng Huo joined Zhongxia, then the Phoenix Company would be completely finished, Xu Jing could not compare to Zhongxia's capital base, and all he could use to keep Meng Shu was shares.

"......" Meng Shu frowned and said, "What three things." ”

He couldn't figure out the reason why Xu Jing did this, and he still had doubts in his heart.

"I'll hand over the shares to you without compensation, but within three years the chairman of the Phoenix Company will still be me, that's the first thing. And the second thing is that as long as I don't actively sell, the remaining 40% of the shares are mine. ”

Xu Jing said two things at once.

The first thing is very simple, Meng Shu doesn't want to manage the company, and the second thing is not too much, now Xu Jing's shares account for the vast majority, he cut the meat and gave some to Meng Shu, only keeping forty percent, Meng Shu can't be ungrateful, of course he will agree.

"What about the third thing?"

Meng Yu wanted to know the content of the last thing, Xu Jing glanced at Alice and lowered his eyes.

"I want a promise, Meng Shu, you will help me do one thing in the future."

This sentence was very familiar, and Meng Shu remembered that every time he dealt with Xu Jing, he seemed to have this purpose. The first time I made a bet, I said that I wanted Meng to promise one thing, and the second time I made a bet, I still asked for it, but this time I ...... Apparently all the same requirements.

"What do you want me to do?" Meng Shu didn't dare to blindly agree: "Chairman, if you don't make it clear, I won't promise the same thing three times." ”

Xu Jing was speechless.

"I didn't say anything about it." Soon, he shook his head and said, "The third thing, as a major shareholder for half a year, you can use the company's resources to open animation, comics and other things. ”

"Half a year later, if you let the company survive the competition with Zhongxia Comics, 6o% of the company's shares will belong to you. If the company goes out of business or its performance is even lower than it is now, you will have to give you back everything I gave you. ”

Xu Jing's eyes were sharp: "How is this matter?" ”

It is not a gift, but a test, Xu Jing's condition made Meng Shu feel at ease, he didn't want to take advantage, this matter was in line with his psychology.

"No problem!"

Meng Huo is a little eager to try, and the major shareholder of half a year can let him do whatever he wants. Xu Jing provided so many resources, if Meng Shu couldn't be born with the phoenix in the fire, then he would be reborn in vain.

Comics, animations, games, merchandise......

There are too many ideas, what should I choose? (To be continued!)
