Meng Qi put it in the teacup and took a sip gently, and the mild taste of Tieguanyin made him feel very comfortable. He put down the teacup and looked at Du Ziming, neither affirming nor denying, but asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Very simple reasoning." Du Ziming met Meng Qi's eyes and replied, "First of all, three days before the release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", you got the comics. To be able to get the inaugural issue of a new manga so long in advance, either you have a very good relationship with Elk Books, or you are the author of the comics......"

"Go on." Meng Qi remained silent.

Du Ziming nodded, and then said: "This is the first suspicion. I had a slight suspicion before, but I wasn't sure, until today, when you were interviewed, you were there as an interviewer...... Of the five interviewers today, I only know you and Sunan, but one thing I am very sure of is that it is not easy to appear as an interviewer in Frank Miller's company anyway. ”

Du Ziming paused for a moment, observed Meng Qi's expression, and then said, "The most important thing is that among these five people, you and Su Nan are sitting in the middle. Isn't it strange that you two exchange students, among the five interviewers, seem to be the youngest and the least qualified, why do you sit in the middle as the main interviewers? ”

"So you were sure at the time?" Meng Qi asked, "Think I'm Frank Miller?" ”

"Eighty percent." Du Ziming laughed, "So when I was waiting for you just now, I checked some information about AC Comics on the Internet and found that the president had attended a press conference as a spokesperson for AC Comics before. No one knows you're Frank Miller, but if you put the information I have, the answer is a pretty positive one. ”

"Nice reasoning." Meng Qi said lightly, "However, what you are talking to me about can't be your reasoning process, right?" ”

In fact, Meng Qi's words are equivalent to admitting that he is the famous Frank Miller in disguise.

Du Ziming heard the meaning of the words, and although he had already determined Meng Qi's other identity in his heart, he couldn't help but feel ecstasy.

"Of course not." Du Ziming tried his best to suppress his excitement, "President, I have a project proposal. ”

"So you need money?" Meng Qi was a little disappointed.

"No, I want your authorization!" Du Ziming's eyes flashed, "Your authorization for all comics!" ”

To be honest, this proposal was a bit sudden, and even made Meng Qi a little confused.

At this time, Du Ziming stood up and explained: "President, don't hide it, Lewan Toys is my company's ......"

Fun toys?!

Du Ziming, who is a member of the Wildfire Animation Club, is usually so low-key that he has no sense of existence, but he is actually the son of the largest toy manufacturer in Bashu?

This local tyrant and rich second generation has been silently lurking in his animation club for more than two years?

Meng Qi felt a little crying and laughing, and in addition, he also had some feelings in his heart.

In Meng Qi's life, the first and last toy he received from his father was a Zhao Yun figure he received on his seventh birthday.

This figure is the product of Letoy Toys.

"I hope the president can delegate the power of your manga peripheral development to Letoy Toys!"

Regarding Du Ziming's request, Meng Qi did not answer. It's not that Meng Qi has a grasp of it, but according to the current popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Superman, it is a matter of time before the development of peripheral products, and as his comic works become more and more abundant in the future, there are more and more superhero characters, and no matter what, he can't avoid the "comic peripherals".

But is it really good to delegate the power to develop the perimeter? What would be the result if you did it yourself?

Meng Qi has been weighing it up.

However, Du Ziming saw that Meng Qi didn't speak, but he was a little anxious, and said: "President, let's put it this way, I participated in the interview of AC Comics, but the purpose is actually for this authorization." If I can really get into AC Comics, I will have a chance to meet Frank Miller, even if the chances are slim, I will give it a try. ”

"You're gambling."

"That's right. But I'm almost winning, aren't I? Du Ziming replied with a smile.

At this time, Su Nan suddenly laughed on the side: "No, we won't give you this authorization." ”

Du Ziming's face turned pale.

"As far as I know, since five years ago, the market share of Toy has been squeezed by other toy manufacturers, and sales have been declining year by year. Am I right? ”

Su Nan's words poked on Du Ziming's heart word by word, and Du Ziming was speechless, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Su Nan continued: "However, with the current operation of your company, it is not wise to hand over this authorization to you, and we can cooperate with large domestic manufacturers or local manufacturers in the United States." ”

"President......" Du Ziming looked at Meng Qi in a difficult tone, "Although the condition of Letoi toys is not good, I can guarantee that this is not because of our production capacity, but because our company has not been authorized to do good comics." ”

"I remember that many years ago, you came out with a figure ...... the theme of the characters of the Three Kingdoms," Meng Qi suddenly moved on to other topics.

"That's right, but the toys in that series didn't sell very well, although they were beautifully made, but the price was too high, and the playability was not strong, so the market response was very bad." Du Ziming is still relatively clear about his company's affairs.

"Are those prototypers still there?"

Du Ziming's eyes lit up, and he noticed that things seemed to be taking a turn for the better, and hurriedly replied: "Of course it's still there...... I know them very well and used to play with them when I was a kid......"

Meng Qi laughed lightly and said, "Ziming, if we want to bet, why don't we bet a little bigger......

"How to bet?"

"I use all of my current and future manga peripheral development licenses to invest in Toy Toys. At the same time, I want to hold. ”

"But president, you only have two comics and one ......animation now," Du Ziming sweated on his forehead.

"So I said it was a big gamble......"

Although Meng Qi said so, he himself knew very well that this gamble must be a win-win result.

It's just that for Du Ziming, it's very difficult to accept.

Meng Qi doesn't have a penny to control Letoy toys? Once this proposal is accepted, the company that your family has worked hard for decades to achieve the current scale will become someone else's?

Su Nan didn't know why Meng Qi made such a decision, but even she had to praise Meng Qi's methods, although it was a bit of a robbery, but it had to be said to be a clever move.

If Du Ziming agrees to this proposal, AC Comics will save a lot of money, and even if he doesn't agree, his side will not lose anything.

At such a time, of course, she had to pour another handful of oil on the fire: "Du Ziming, you should understand that with Meng Qi's current influence and ability, we will definitely not be satisfied with earning that little bit of authorization fees now...... You have the advantage of having ready-made production lines, prototypers and designers, but if we start a new toy company, it will be nothing more than a little more effort in these areas, which is not a difficult task......"

Du Ziming wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled miserably: "Maybe it was a mistake for me to bet on Frank Miller from the beginning......"

"Gamblers never think they're going to win their next hand, they never think they're going to lose." Meng Qi's words were meaningful, "If you really want to gamble, if you really want to bet on me, you shouldn't have any doubts." ”

Du Ziming was stunned, then relieved, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I have always claimed to be a gambler, but I didn't expect that the president of the club did not understand gambling thoroughly. ”

"Every choice in life is a gamble, Ziming."

After a moment of silence, Du Ziming finally made up his mind and said, "I agree with your proposal, president." However, although I have a say in Toys, this matter is too important for me to discuss with my father. ”

"It's fine. I can wait for you until next New Year's Day at the latest, and by the way, you can also see what I do next and see if your gamble is worth it. ”

"Meng Qi, in fact, we don't have to make such concessions at all......" Seeing Meng Qi make such a decision, Su Nan couldn't help but say.

"It's okay, it's for Zhao Zilong's sake......"

Meng Qi suddenly said such a clueless sentence.
