Chapter 28 : “Detective Conan” released

September 11

“Small, breakfast is ready!”

Meng Huo was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when there was a cry in the living room.

While brushing his teeth, he rubbed his eyelids in the mirror, not knowing if it was an illusion, he felt as if he had dark circles under his eyes.

After washing, Meng Huo returned to the living room with anxiety.

“Mom, am I having dark circles?”

Li Qin took a moment to look at his face carefully: “No, you are wrong.”

Only then did Meng Huo sit down and eat breakfast with confidence, he didn’t want to have dark circles at a young age.

“Xiao Huo.” After pouring a glass of milk to Meng Huo, Li Qin asked, “Today is the day when the comics are on sale. Would you like to buy one?”

“No.” There was a bowl of noodles on the table, and Meng Huo picked up the noodles with chopsticks: “The editorial department will send a few copies. We don’t have to buy them ourselves.”

He ate the noodles happily. Even if the booklet actually publishes his own comic book, Phoenix Company will prepare a few for him. Meng Huo sent a message last night to give Shen Jie one.

The female academic bully replied very happily: “I happen to have no money. I will pay you the next single book.”

But Meng Huo will have a few copies every time he publishes a single book, so why do I need Shen Jie to send it?

“So Alice will come in the morning?”

Li Qin was sitting next to Meng Huo eating noodles, and remembered that sister: “She has been busy with your comics recently, and she should be a little quieter after this release.”

Alice and Meng Huo are very busy these days, and Li Qin is very worried.

She suddenly thought: “Xiao Huo, how much do you think the single line can sell and how much money can you make?”

“Well, in the country, one million should have been sold, right?”

Meng Huo didn’t want to frighten Li Qin, so he used his words carefully: “My royalties are very high, but I still have to deduct taxes. It is estimated that I can get more than two million yuan!”

The biggest preferential treatment given to Meng Huo by Phoenix Company is a 10% royalty. There is nothing wrong with his calculation method. However, there are big loopholes in the quantity. China has a vast land and resources. The first print of “Detective Conan” exceeds one million copies, and the final sales volume will definitely be more.

However, Li Qin was still shocked.

“Two or more than two million…” She almost couldn’t catch the chopsticks. What is the concept of more than two million? The money was enough for their mother and son to buy a house in Ninghai City, and it was paid in one lump sum!

When they buy a house, they are completely Ninghai people. If they say it, it is estimated that Li Qin’s brothers and sisters will pass out.

“Small gain, don’t spend money indiscriminately!”

Li Qin suddenly remembered a sentence, a man will go bad when he has money, and she can’t rest assured: “You must tell your mother what money you will use in the future!”

Meng Huo turned his head to look at her and smiled.

“Alright, mom, don’t worry.”

He doesn’t gamble or piao, he doesn’t have any hobbies, and he doesn’t do anything that makes Li Qin sad.

In the morning, Alice came over with a few books, and the delivery man appeared with her.

“Did you buy a treadmill?”

Alice looked at the deliveryman who carefully moved the treadmill into the house, with a surprised expression on her face: “How much?”

“Six thousand, for family use.” Meng Huo put the Alice ribbon into the study and asked Li Qin to help debug the treadmill outside: “Did you bring the booklet?”

Alice took out the booklet of “Detective Conan” from her bag. As soon as it appeared, Meng Huo’s eyes lit up. The cover of the booklet was the same as the subway poster. It was the picture of the hero and heroine together.

“You really know how to do business.”

Meng Huo was very satisfied. It turns out that the poster still has this kind of use. I don’t know if Ye Xiong planned it long ago.

“It’s more than that!”

Alice laughed, and she turned to the last page: “What do you think this is?”

“this is……”

Meng Huo was taken aback again, he saw a beautiful maple leaf bookmark, but the picture above was Kaito Kidd.

“We bookmarked your three pictures and placed them on the last page of each book at random, so they were put on sale today.” Alice took out different bookmarks from other books, each of which was very delicate : “It’s a pity that the bookmark is too small to show the artistic conception of the picture.”

said so, but Alice is still a little proud. These bookmarks are very well done and they will definitely surprise readers.

Meng Huo is full of praise for bookmarks, and the book quality of the single-line book is also good. The publisher did not cut corners, and 30 yuan is a good deal.

“By the way, Meng Huo.”

Alice hesitated for a moment, and still said: “The sales volume of “Sherlock” is very high. Yesterday, only 700,000 copies were sold in Ninghai. The editor-in-chief hopes you will not be discouraged.”

“700,000 copies of Ninghai City?” Meng Huo was taken aback, and then shook his head: “It seems that I underestimated the market. The first print of “Detective Conan” is 1.5 million copies. I think you should print it immediately. .”

Alice was taken aback.

“Do you think “Detective Conan” will surpass “Detective Sherlock”?” She swallowed, “Is this your idea?”

Meng Huo smiled faintly.

“I used the novel of “The Detective Sherlock” as my opponent…”

If Mach can portray the novel vividly and vividly, Meng Huo might not have the confidence to win, but he was disappointed after reading the manga booklet.

————

The front of Qingyuan Bookstore is still crowded. Yesterday’s sales champion “Detective Sherlock” is still in front today, and next to it is “Detective Conan” just released today.

“Master, are you buying this?”

An old man with a cane slowly walked over The book sales lady’s eyes lit up. Seeing that this guest was obviously a fan of “The Detective Sherlock”, she quickly picked up the book and handed it over. .

“I don’t want this…” But surprisingly, the old man reached out and pushed away “Detective Sherlock” and turned to “Detective Conan”: “That’s it. I’ve seen this on the subway and bus. A picture, how much is this book?”

The sales lady was stunned.

He Qian was reading while she was resting, when her phone rang suddenly, she took out a text message.

“Miss He Qian, this is teacher Mach, what time do you get off work today?”

The content of the text message made her frown slightly. Yesterday the dead otaku turned out to be mach, but who had leaked her mobile phone number?

She thought about it, and then replied.

“six thirty.”

It’s five o’clock after get off work, He Qian coldly covered her phone, and continued to open “Detective Conan” and read it.

“That idiot actually painted Sherlock like that. I really thought he was amazing!”

He Qian, who is intensive in comics, can see that as a representative of orthodox mystery novels, “The Detective Sherlock” is charmed by the suspense and tension throughout the story. However, Mach’s paintings are too clear and attract readers’ eyes On the appearance of the characters, there is no atmosphere like the original.

Ordinary people don’t know, but He Qian sighed in her heart and drew the cold story into a girly comic. Isn’t this in front of the youth comic master He Xi…
