"Master, the chairman is here to invite you."

On Saturday morning, Meng Huo heard the bell and opened the door, and saw a man in a suit guarding the door.

"Ah good."

He froze for a moment, turned off the air conditioner at home and walked out.

Four works were released one after another, but Meng Huo's life did not change. Li Qin went to the hospital to visit He Qian in the morning, and Meng Huo wanted to rest, but Xu Jing would come to him. The man in the suit opened the elevator door ahead of time and let Meng Huo in first, then walked into the elevator like a bodyguard, stood in front and pressed the floor.

His actions made Meng Huo a little strange.

"Are you a bodyguard?"

"Yes, sir."

"Don't call me master, I don't like this title."

"What's your name then?"

"Just call him Meng Huo."

"That can't be done, your identities are different, and your first name will affect your image."

The bodyguard smiled. It is not a feudal society now, and there is no concept of master and servant, but the title is an important symbol of a person's identity. If the bodyguards can directly address the employer's name, then others will feel that the successor of Phoenix Company has no prestige.

He did not agree to Meng Huo's request.

Outside the building, a Lincoln car was waiting on the side of the road. Lincoln was several grades lower than the brand value of Sweaty Blood, and it was Xu Jing's special car.

Xu Jing's car was worse than Li Tianhui's. Meng Huo lamented the preferential treatment Li Tianhui received back then. The bodyguard opened the car door for him in advance. After Meng Huo got into the car, he saw Xu Jing who was dressed very casually.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Meng Huo asked bluntly.

"It's rare that I'm free, so I'll take you to Fengshan for a walk." Xu Jing smiled: "Don't ruin your body by staying at home, I just want to take a walk too."

"Fengshan?" Meng Huo had a little impression. 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 so expensive: "Why are you in such a good mood? Don't you usually stay at home with your wife?"

Xu Jing was very interesting, and after getting along with him for a long time, Meng Huo found that he loved his family even more than children. According to Alice's explanation, Xu Jing was too busy at work before, and Xu Jing lacked family warmth, so after he had a successful career, he spent all his free time with his wife.

"Cough, cough, I can't just be at home."

Xu Jing blushed slightly, quickly changed the subject, and ordered the driver to drive.

The Lincoln car drove slowly towards Fengshan. Xu Jing recovered from his blushing, and put a smile on his face again: "Meng Huo, the results of the quick report of "5 Centimeters per Second" are quite amazing."

"How many sales?"

Meng Huo asked.

"900,000! Be surprised!"

Xu Jingle gave a few thumbs up, and said with a smile: "The quick report is nearly 900,000 copies. The company plans to increase advertising, and the final sales volume is expected to exceed 10 million copies. If this number succeeds, you will be the savior of Huaxia Manga!"

When receiving this flash report last night, Xu Jing didn't even sleep well all night, but fortunately, he is not so excited now.

The sales volume of 10 million comics, and it is a single volume, this number can enter the top of the pyramid in the novel world, and it is an unprecedented bomb in the comics world. From the rise of comics to the present, including the adaptation of comics, there has not been a single comic that has sold more than this figure.

"10 million volumes,

That's nothing special. "

Meng Huo was a little disappointed. The sales volume of "Detective Conan" was 89 million, and "5 Centimeters per Second" only surpassed this figure in his eyes.

But he didn't know that this number had a huge impact on the market.

In the Chinese cultural market, 10 million sales is a watershed. When "Detective Conan" was released, it created a miracle that attracted people's attention. It is called the most saturated product in the comics market in the industry. It is difficult to break through again. This time, the sales volume of the second volume is prove.

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 in sales of 8 million. If "5 Centimeters Per Second" can break through 10 million, the potential value of the comic market will explode. The industry is about to change dramatically.

Capitalists will be interested in this market, and the country will also value it. Both capital and business opportunities will increase. For Phoenix, the most direct benefit is that more places and distributors will extend olive branches to them, so as to expand their distribution channels.

"Nothing special."

When Xu Jing heard Meng Huo's words, he shook his head and smiled wryly: "Your words are really incredible."

This sentence should be heard by other cartoonists or other comic companies. I don’t know how many people will be sent to the hospital in anger. Selling 10 million copies is an unattainable goal that everyone desires, but Meng Huo takes it for granted.

But that's fine, Xu Jingle is like this, he won't explain it, and it will increase Meng Huo's pressure for nothing.

Moreover, there are still many variables in the future, and he is not sure that "5 Centimeters Per Second" will exceed 10 million copies. If it is exceeded, the entire comics industry will benefit. The expanded business opportunities and channels will allow publishing companies and cartoonists to earn more money, and the sales of magazines will also increase in the future.

However, this is also a challenge for Phoenix Company. The market that it develops is changing, and it is easy to be a dowry for others.

Xu Jing wanted to remind Meng Huo not to be proud, but at this moment, the Lincoln stopped suddenly.

"Reached?"

Meng Huo asked in surprise, it's only been a few minutes since he set off.

"Not yet, someone is here, and I want you to meet someone."

Xu Jing turned his head, 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 Huo, and introduced himself: "It's the first time we meet, Mr. He Xi, I am Lin Mingzhe, the chief financial officer of Phoenix Company, and the funds for your animation production department will be funded by I'll check it out."

Meng Huo was slightly taken aback.

"Mingzhe will go to Fengshan with us."

Xu Jing smiled and said to Meng Huo: "I promise you to set up an animation department, but you have to do it yourself."

The condition for establishing the animation department is that Meng Huo will buy 25% of the shares. The total royalties for the three comic books and one novel sold this time should exceed 80 million. In addition to Li Qin’s 20 million shares, Meng Huo has completed the bet condition.

Of course, this refers to the bet at the beginning, and has little to do with the rest.

Meng Huo reacted from the surprise, and felt a burst of joy in his heart. It turned out that Xu Jing asked him to come out to talk about this matter.

"Director Lin, please give me more advice in the future."

"I will cooperate as much as possible."

Lin Mingzhe nodded gently. As the financial supervisor, he knew that the child in front of him was not only a cash cow, but also the future helm of Phoenix Company, so he would naturally cooperate seriously.

Xu Jing was relieved by the interaction between the two. Lin Mingzhe was his right-hand man, and he could lower his head to cooperate with Meng Huo, which would be of great benefit to Phoenix's future. Moreover, Meng Huo's attitude is also very good. Unlike Li Tianhui, he will definitely satisfy Lin Mingzhe.
