Saturday, June 21.

The Albert Hotel, Evan's luxury suite.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Evan sat alone on the couch in the living room, a newspaper in his hand, and a large stack on the low table in front of him. These are the newspapers that reported on the Rubik's Cube game the day before yesterday.

Nina takes the three Robert siblings out the door and continues her unfinished trip to New York.

Today is their last day in New York, and Nina has decided to return to California tomorrow.

Without Dora's noise, Evan enjoyed a rare tranquility.

He didn't stay with Nina and his sisters because he had business to attend to.

"Knock knock!"

A knock on the door interrupted Evan's reading.

"Please come in!"

Evan shouted as he folded the newspaper.

As Evan's words fell, the door was pushed open, and Girard led a middle-aged man into the living room.

Evan had already stood up and stretched out his hand to welcome: "Good morning, Alan Granmore. Mr. Grammer. ”

"My name is Evan Warren, and I'm the chairman of the Magic Seven that you want to meet. ”

"You may be seated. ”

"Girard, sit down too. ”

The middle-aged man Granmore looked stunned, obviously not expecting that the person he was going to meet would be so young.

Gran Mo froze, and then sat down across from Evan.

Girard sat on the one-seater couch next to Evan.

Why is Grammore here?

It all started with a proposal by Girard.

The story of the "Plane Walker's House" card is suitable for multi-dimensional adaptation, and should not be limited to what Virginia is working on, but genres such as comics can also be tried, and maybe even bring the story to the screen in the future. Based on this point of view, Girard proposed the creation of a dedicated copyright development unit.

Evan was no stranger to Girard's proposal, so it didn't take much effort for Girard to get Evan's permission.

After receiving the license, the first thing Girard did was to prepare his own publishing department.

He did this to get the first spin-off of the "Plane Walker's House" card, which Virginia was writing, firmly in the hands of the company.

Of course, it would be a waste of time to hire someone to set up a publishing department from scratch, so Girard simply bought a ready-made publishing house.

This saves time and effort.

Granmore, the big owner and managing director of a small publishing house in New York, was Girard's chosen target.

Grammore's publishing house is mainly engaged in the distribution of cheap comics and pulp. Before World War II, the income of the publishing house was not bad, but since the Second World War, the publishing house has lost money every year due to the decline in the quality of works and the intensification of competition. So when Girard approached him for a takeover, Granmore didn't put up much resistance.

What's more, Girard's conditions are not bad: the staff will try to keep it, and the publishing house brand will also be retained.

The only ones that may be affected are the comics and magazines that are being distributed by the publishing houses, and their fate is better to be sold to other publishers, or simply "cut in half".

Grammore agreed to the acquisition, but before signing the contract, he made one request: he wanted to get a personal commitment from the real principal of the acquisition, namely Evan.

The publishing house was founded more than 90 years ago by one of Glammore's grandfathers, so Glammore didn't want it to go away, especially in his own hands.

So there was this meeting.

"Mr. Granmore, I already know your request from Girard, and I am very touched by the fact that you want to see me out of a deep affection for the publishing house, and to be honest, and to be honest. ”

"Here, I can assure you that your request will be implemented 100 per cent. ”

"Of course, it depends on whether you believe what I say counts, after all, ......" At this point, Evan shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself, "As long as my age is here, the persuasion is not much higher!"

Granmore waved his hand and said, "No, Mr. Warren, I believe what you say counts. ”

"This is evident in the attitude of Mr. Girard towards you. ”

Evan glanced at Girard, who was sitting precariously, and then said, "In that case, Mr. Granmore, do you have any other requirements regarding the acquisition?"

Granmore shook his head.

"So, how about you continue to hand over to Girard?"

Girard then interjected, "Evan, I want to ask Mr. Granmore to stay as editor-in-chief, you see......

"Of course I don't have a problem with that......" Evan looked at Grammore and asked, "It's just that I don't know if Mr. Grammore has this will......"

For Girard and Evan's invitation, Granmore was indeed a little moved to be honest, although he was no longer the general manager, but only an editor-in-chief, but after all, it was the place where he had worked for almost half his life. Still, Granmore didn't say yes. He hesitated for a moment, then replied, "How about I think about it?"

"Absolutely!"

Afterwards, Grammore and Girard both walked out of the room and headed to a building at 79 Seventh Avenue in Manhattan. Grammore's publishing house is based in the building.

"General manager, you're back, there's something wrong with the printing house......"

As soon as he walked into the office area, an anxious-looking employee shouted at Granmore.

"Stop, Isaac, this is left in advance. ”

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Grammore.

Granmore clapped his hands and called all the employees in the office over.

"I would like to announce to you one thing now......"

"Just now, I have transferred all the equity of the company to another company, this company is called Magic Seven Company......"

"What?!"

The office was suddenly noisy, and the employee who had just stopped Granmore was particularly surprised, and the voice was particularly loud.

"I know it was a bit sudden, but that's the way it is. Granmore deliberately glanced at Isaac, who was the loudest, and then continued: "However, don't panic, this transaction only involves the change of the company's controller, and everyone's work will not be affected." ”

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Granmore clapped his hands again, and then said, "Let me introduce you to you, this person next to me is the head of the acquirer, Joe Girard, who will also be the new general manager of our Smith and Granmore publishing houses, everyone is welcome." ”

"If there is any problem, everyone can ask him now......"

When it came to the future of work, everyone was naturally very enthusiastic, and all kinds of questions rushed to Girard for a while.

However, Grammore found one of them to be unusually calm.

He was that Isaac.

After a while, Isaac finally made a move, and under Grammore's gaze, he leaned in front of Girard and asked softly, "Well, Mr. Girard, I want to ask you something......

"What questions do you ......ask?"

"Do you know Evan Warren?"
