readx;? New York Nut Books Distribution Company is a distributor specializing in book distribution channels, and compared with Elk Books, their business is more pure, that is, printing and sales, while Elk Books is not only for distribution, but also for its own book publishing topics and projects.

The company was founded in 2004, which is not too long, but if you count its predecessor, it has quite a bit of history and some interesting points.

The predecessor of the New York Nut Book Publishing Company was Oak Books, and for more than 20 years, this company mainly distributed comics, and it grew rapidly with the revival of federal comics in 1990, and at its peak, it could take most of the orders of the three major comic organizations at the same time.

The demise of the three major comic organizations did not cause substantial damage to Oak Books, although it was inevitable that it would be affected, but its huge foundation was still there, so it was able to recover quickly.

In 2004, Oak Books acquired three companies and reorganized its subdivisions, establishing a new New York Nut Book Publishing Company, which began to get involved in book distribution beyond comics.

Among them, what worries Meng Qi the most is that in 2000, Oak Books and the New York Daily News reached an agency distribution business covering more than 30 cities.

Considering the role of the New York Daily News in the superhero comic book boycott, combined with this partnership, is really meaningful.

It is now confirmed that Blade Comics and New York Nut Books are the instigators of the superhero comic boycott, so Meng Qi quickly realizes that there are two possibilities.

For one, Blade Comics and New York Nut Books are actually David Stern's properties, but they played different roles in the boycott.

Second, Blade Comics and New York Nut Books Publishing Company are just a cooperative relationship, or rather, they are also at the behest of others and are sent by others.

If the second possibility is true, it means that neither David Stern nor Ramon Sessions are key figures, and there must be a person with greater energy behind them, who is in charge of everything.

Meng Qi was more inclined to the second possibility, because, at this moment, his mind was always circling with the names of those companies, the names he had found in the old newspapers in the library.

Everything that happened now made him even more convinced of the reasoning he made to Su Nan at that time (see Chapter 118 for details).

Meng Qi decided to carry out a targeted tentative attack - after preparing for so long, enduring for so long, it was time to make a move......

Before that, though, he'll have to make good use of Alan Anderson and put a nice smoke bomb.

Monday, August 25.

The atmosphere at AC Comics was a little more depressing than usual, and the occasional roar from Frank Miller's office sent chills down the hustle of the boat.

"You Elk Books are relying on AC comics to get to the top of the ranks, and now you want to buy them?!"

Listening to Meng Qi's roar, he could feel that it was full of anger.

"I'm helping you, dear Meng!" Joe Smith's voice was equally loud.

The uninvited guest entered Frank Miller's office twenty minutes earlier, but, only ten minutes later, the two began to argue violently.

Of course, this is all for Alan Anderson, and if there is a third person in the office at this time, he will be very surprised to find that Frank Miller and Joe Smith are sitting facing each other with calm expressions, and then roaring at the right time.

It's really like a drama in life, and it all depends on acting skills.

"Are you helping me?!Haha, you're really hypocritical enough, if you really wanted to help me, you shouldn't have thrown AC comics aside in the first place!" Meng Qi leaned comfortably on the back of his chair and yelled loudly, "Do you know that it's because you don't publish superhero comics anymore that AC comics are dying now!"

"If you give me AC Comics, it won't die......," Joe Smith replied with the same roar, also lazily lying on the couch.

This kind of picture, no matter how you look at it, is very inconsistent.

"I see you've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

"I'm still saying that, I just want to help you!"

"I don't need your mercy, get out of here, bastard!"

Meng Qi stood up, grabbed a cup on the table, slammed it on the ground, and then spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"Meng, don't regret it!"

Joe Smith knew that the play was almost over, and stood up, shouted the above sentences, rubbed his face, adjusted his expression to an angry state, and then walked out of the office angrily.

"Bang!"

The choreographed quarrel ended with a heavy slamming of the door.

The quarrel between Frank Miller and Joe Smith made the inside of AC Comics even more panicked, and most people felt that AC Comics was basically finished, and even led to several more resignation letters.

Alan Anderson, of course, didn't know what was going on and honestly reported the situation to Ramon Sessions.

Combined with the previous predicament faced by superhero comics, especially AC comics, it is easy to conclude that Frank Miller can't last long.

This is exactly the message that Meng Qi has been trying to convey to them.

A misinformation.

Meng Qi's various layouts in the early stage, starting from the alliance with three companies such as Black Knight Comics, to the unilateral tearing up of the alliance after Wu Tian lost the lawsuit, to the Huala Brothers, The opposition between NBO and Elk Books, to the layoffs of AC Comics, and finally to the big smokescreen about acquisitions, is to deepen the impression of those people again and again, making them feel that AC Comics is already unsustainable and may end at any time, so that they can lower their vigilance, make them careless, and leave enough space for Meng Qi to carry out the next plan.

The so-called breaking and then standing is probably like this.

Tuesday, August 26.

Tang Mingjia arrived in the U.S. toy market again, this time, he was alone, but behind him, there were millions of new products, which would be divided into several batches and quietly entered the U.S. toy market.

Friday, August 29.

A well-prepared pleadings were filed in the U.S. Intermediate Court in New York.

The plaintiff, of course, is AC Comics, and the defendant is Blade Comics, and the cause of the lawsuit is that AC Comics believes that "Temptation of the Innocent" launched by Blade Comics has greatly damaged the reputation of superhero comics.

Against the backdrop of a popular boycott, this cause of action seems somewhat nonsensical, but according to the judicial process, the federal court has to accept it.

More importantly, the professional lawyer team hired by Meng Qi successfully helped him take advantage of a loophole, which shortened the defense time of the defendant, that is, Blade Comics, to one week, which means that the lawsuit will be heard before September 15.

This bought Meng Qi a lot of time.

And now, time has faintly become the key to this battle.
