Chapter 35 : Awarded

“Detective Conan” royalties will take months to reach Meng Huo’s account, so he is not in a hurry.

However, he was not in a hurry, but Phoenix Company was in a hurry—a few days later, Alice informed Meng Huo to sign the agreement. She said that the chairman of Phoenix Company was willing to pay for him, and then deduct it from the royalties a few months later.

Meng Huo was stunned, but the Phoenix Company was taking care of him, and the previous rent was neglected, but he didn’t expect that RMB 20 million could be overdrawn in advance.

He and Li Qin got on the car sent by the company, and Alice explained the reason to them in the car. In fact, there are several reasons why the company is so swift and neat. One is that they are not afraid of the loss of royalties, and the other is to protect the secrets of Meng Huo.

The increase in shareholders cannot be concealed from the eyes of the caring people. In case Meng receives royalties to buy shares, many people will doubt the identity of the new shareholders, and early shareholding avoids this situation.

Meng Huo was satisfied with such a thoughtful arrangement. They came to Phoenix Company. Unexpectedly, there were not many people present. Apart from two people who looked like lawyers, there was only one old man with a majestic appearance.

“This is our chairman, Mr. Xu Jing.”

Alice introduced.

Meng Huo and Li Qin hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

“Teacher He Xi and his wife, please sit here.”

The old man invited the mother and the son to sit opposite, while Alice took out tea leaves to make tea.

“This time the shares are transferred from my hands to you, without the need for other shareholders to come forward.” Xu Jing asked the lawyer to put the documents on the table and said calmly: “Here are some information about the company. Twenty million will be transferred to you, you can see if there are any problems.”

Meng Huo nodded, picked up the file and looked at it. He looked at it carefully. Although he didn’t understand all of it, he also saw that he would not suffer a loss if he bought 5% of the shares for 20 million.

“no problem.”

When Meng Huo finished watching, Alice had already served tea for the three of them. She stood aside and smiled: “If there is no problem, you should sign the agreement quickly.”

Meng Huo looked at Alice strangely. Why did the editor in charge say this? Isn’t she afraid of the chairman? What’s even more strange is that she seems to be familiar with this office. She was not unfamiliar when looking for tea just now, and Xu Jing and the two lawyers did not appear surprised.

“Teacher He Xi, don’t be surprised.”

Xu Jing has been observing Meng Huo and found the doubt on his face, and said: “Alice is my daughter.”

Daughter? Meng Huo was taken aback. It turned out that Alice was the daughter of the chairman of the Phoenix Company. Why did he never hear Ye Xiong say this? Didn’t Ye Xiong know?

Li Qin was also extremely surprised to look at Alice: “Sister, you are Mr. Xu’s daughter? Why did you come to be an editor?”

Alice smiled slightly.

“I will explain this to you when I go back, and sign the agreement first.”

Meng Huo hurriedly pulled Li Qin, and he also felt that it was not suitable to talk about it at this time. Xu Jing’s appearance is very typical of Chinese people, but Alice is more like a Westerner, the two are too different, most of them are not biological fathers and daughters.

Li Qin also noticed this immediately, and stopped talking.

“Teacher He Xi is already sixteen years old.” Xu Jing picked up the tea and said, “I looked at your identity information, and now I can sign this agreement.”

When Meng Huo signed the “Detective Conan” contract with Phoenix Company, he had already left his identity information. Li Qin was present as the guardian at that time, but the actual contractor was Meng Huo. However, there are errors in his identity information. The birthday on the ID card is one month earlier than the actual birthday.

Meng Huo will not turn 16 until October, but he is already legally full, and he can sign the agreement now, but he doesn’t want to sign it himself.

“Mom, come and sign!” Meng Huo turned his head and said to Li Qin.

This sentence stunned several other people.

“No, Xiaochou, this is your thing!”

Li Qin shook his head quickly, how could she **** the child’s things?

“I said Mom, isn’t yours mine?” Meng Huo joked, “Besides, if you become a lady, I can be a rich second generation too!”

“Bah, baah…what rich second generation!” Li Qin raised her eyebrows. She knew that rich second generation was a bad word, and quickly glared at Meng Huo: “Don’t be good and don’t learn, just learn from others these messy things. thing.”

Seeing this scene, Alice secretly laughed. She felt that this sister Qin was good at everything, but sometimes she was too sensitive to her son.

Xu Jing also shook his head.

“Madam, it’s okay for you to sign it.” He said, “This way, there is an extra layer of protection. It is not easy for others to find Mr. He Xi.”

But the truth is like this, but Xu Jing still looks at Meng Huo a little differently. How many young people are willing to give up? Meng Huo gave it to Li Qin without hesitation. This behavior is commendable.

“Madam really gave birth to a good son!”

Since ancient times, China has always been a mother who is more expensive than her child. This ordinary woman gave birth to such an outstanding child. This is the luck of many mothers.

“You passed the prize.” Li Qin blushed a little when Xu Jing said, the chairman of such a big company said that his son is good, and she felt happy in her heart.

In the end, Li Qin still signed the agreement. She thought she had no other children anyway, and she still had to teach Meng Huo to keep these things.

After completing the formalities, Meng Huo and Phoenix Company were tied together. Xu Jing promised that he could continue to increase the shares as long as he had money in the future, but Meng Huo’s comics must be launched by Phoenix Company from now on.

From Meng Huo’s point of view, there is no problem at all. The manuscript fees for serial comics are actually about the same. The real money is the booklet and other copyright benefits. Holding the shares will not reduce his cartoonist’s income. This is enough.

Furthermore, Phoenix Company did not completely restrain him. With the exception of cultural products other than comics, Meng Huo was free to call the shots, and Xu Jing even gave him an invitation to design anime. This is an invitation letter from China Central Television. CCTV plans to launch a national-level cartoon and is looking for scripts and ideas. Many well-known authors, cartoonists and publishing houses have received requests.

“This is an original animation, if you are interested, you can try it.” Xu Jing said when bidding farewell to Meng Huo: “CCTV has not found a suitable content script so far. If you can succeed, it will be both for you and the company. Great benefit.”

“And “Detective Conan” won the Best Newcomer Comic of the Year Award, and the award ceremony will be in a few days…”

There are many awards in China’s comics industry. The organizer is Longteng Company. In previous years, the awards were dominated by cartoonists who adapted novels. At this time, He Xi was suddenly awarded the prize. The purpose of which is self-evident.

They want to force He Xi to come out from behind the scenes.
