Chapter 432: Dig people and dig into the other boss
Lin Ruofeng is the author of "Superman", and it spread throughout the United States overnight, and everyone didn't expect that people who played basketball so well could be so good in comics.
As a result, Lin Ruofeng has gained a lot of fans.
There are still three days left until the fifth game of the finals. During this period of time. Lin Ruofeng and the entire Bulls team are actively preparing for training, which is the Bulls' second time standing on the stage of the finals after the dynasty has been lonely.
Since Mike's retirement, they have come home every time, and this time, both the Bulls and Chicago fans are looking forward to their championship attempt.
In the past three days, the American comic book industry has been turned upside down because of the appearance of "Superman", and the first issue of "Superman" published by Marvel magazine has been reprinted 11 times.
According to preliminary statistics, during these four days, a total of 600,000 copies were sold, which has broken the sales record of the best-selling comic of all time by Marvel Comics.
The online world in the United States is also full of discussions about Superman, Twitter, Facebook, comic forums, and no matter where they are, the story from Kryptonian young Clark is the focus of their conversation.
And with the popularity of "Superman", Lin Ruofeng, the author of "Superman". It has also begun to be noticed by many "Superman" fans.
The popularity of "Superman" also has an immediate impact on the benefits of Marvel Comics, "Comics World" sold 600,000 copies in four days, and the profit of each Marvel Comics is about five dollars, and 660,000 copies is a profit of 3.3 million US dollars, that is to say, in just four days, the profit of Marvel Comics exceeded the total price when Lin Ruofeng acquired Marvel Comics, and this speed of attracting money also made other comic companies in the same industry red-eyed.
Especially Neil, the owner of DC Comics, he almost bought Marvel Comics at the beginning.
In Neil's opinion, if he had successfully acquired Marvel Comics, everything that "Superman" brought would now belong to him.
However, there is no if in life, and now "Superman" has become their biggest threat, because of the popularity of "Superman", which has led to a sharp drop in the sales of DC Comics' "DC Comics" magazine, the latest issue has passed four days, and the sales volume is only 30,000 copies, and the sales volume of each issue of "Action Comics" in the past are around 80,000 copies, and this issue is obviously impossible to achieve.
At the DC Comics headquarters, owner Neil held a high-level meeting of the company.
The conference room was lifeless, and the executives of DC Comics were all crying.
"What's new, Comic World has sold 750,000 copies! Damn, it sold 750,000 copies before the week ended, and it sold more than us in two months, or even three months, don't you have anything to say about that?" Neil leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping on the table, a little angry.
"Oh my God, 700,000 copies have been sold in four days......"
"This sales can't be fake, 700,000 copies sold in four days, I don't think it's a bit too. ”
"If it's true, Marvel will turn over this time. ”
The crowd whispered.
"The authenticity of the sales volume, there is no doubt about it, I got the data of the printing factory. Neil said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it, how do we deal with it? If we continue to develop according to the current momentum, Marvel will soon surpass us." ”
"Neil, I don't think you have to worry too much, "Superman" has only been out twice, it is undeniable that its opening and setting are very attractive, which has led to its popularity, but who can guarantee that the next story of "Superman" will not hit the streets, you know, there are many such examples in the history of American comics, which began to be popular for a few days, and after that, people forgot who they were. Witte, Minister of Propaganda Department, said.
"It's not impossible for you to say this, but that's for later, and I'm asking what to do now? Are we just going to sit back and wait to be killed by Superman?" Neil asked again.
"Neil, I feel like we can reach out to the author of Superman, poach him, and if Superman isn't a buyout work, we can even have him bring Superman to our DC Comics for serialization. Witt said.
Neil thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Well, this is not a bad way, it's just that the author is Lin Ruofeng, a professional player who is popular all over the United States, are you sure you can convince him?"
"It can be a little difficult, but as long as you have enough dollars, it's easy to find someone. Werther said confidently. "After all, that guy went to play in the NBA, wasn't it also for money?"
"Okay, then I'll leave it up to you to talk to him about cooperation, is there a problem?" Neil asked, looking at Werther.
"Of course, that's fine, but it may require an event fund. Werther rubbed his hands together.
"Money is not an issue, as long as you can dig up that Chinese man!" Neil said.
"Okay, I'll do it right away when the meeting is over!" Witt nodded heavily.
In addition to DC Company wanting to dig up the author of "Superman" with a lot of money, the giants of the American comic industry, Lenny Comics and King Kong Comics are also sending people to contact Lin Ruofeng, and their purpose is the same, that is, to dig Lin Ruofeng at any cost!
When Lin Ruofeng finished training and opened his mobile phone to watch, he was stunned.
Because in just a few hours, there were more than a dozen calls and more than two dozen text messages.
Lin Ruofeng opened the text message first, and then the whole person laughed. For no other reason, these text messages were sent by people from major comic companies in the United States, the purpose of which was to dig him up.
After all, when Lin Ruofeng bought the current Marvel company, only Martin and Caron knew the identity of the acquirer.
And Martin stayed in Marvel because of Lin Ruofeng's retention, so Lin Ruofeng's identity was not exposed.
Therefore, everyone thinks that Lin Ruofeng submitted "Superman" to Marvel, just a simple comic book author. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruofeng is actually the boss of Marvel.
And now, other comic companies actually poached the author and dug up the boss of other comic companies, how can it be funny?
Lin Ruofeng called to tell Martin about the incident, and Martin rolled back and fell back with laughter.
"Hahahaha! It's so funny!" said Martin had tears in the corners of his eyes. "If they knew that the author of Superman was the boss of Marvel, I don't know what kind of expression they would have, especially the guy Neil from DC Comics!"
"Martin, I have a plan!" Lin Ruofeng said with a smile.
"Boss, what do you want to do?" Martin was stunned.
"Didn't they want to poach the author? I pretended to negotiate terms with them and stalled for time. And you, in the shortest possible time, use "Superman" to overwhelm all the comics!" Lin Ruofeng said with a smile. "By the time they come to their senses, the tide will be over!"
Martin's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Boss, you're so bad, in this way, they originally had time to resist Superman, but then they won't have it." ”
Just when the major comic companies were vigorously digging Lin Ruofeng, Lin Ruofeng took advantage of the finals to delay the negotiation time.
At the same time, "Superman" continues to be popular!
