079 The magic of money
Chen Benming looked very calm and said, "Boy, be careful not to blow the cowhide out...... The villa by the white lake is not cheap......"
"It's because of this, how can I brag to you......" Meng Qi replied. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Chen Xue also said on the side: "Dad, it's true, all the formalities have been completed, just waiting to move in......"
Chen Benming looked Meng Qi up and down, and said, "I can't see it......"
Chen Xue and Meng Qi had already said it before, and they would talk about it slowly when they were in the villa, so she didn't say it now, and she understood why Meng Qi would say this matter with great fanfare, and it was in front of Meng Yan.
However, now that she has said it thoroughly, she no longer thinks about what Meng Yan will think, and directly shakes out all the things about the villa.
Not only that, but she also followed this conversation and told the story that she and Meng Qi opened a book company together.
Of course, she still concealed the fact that Meng Qi was the "father of superheroes" - Frank Miller, and still adopted the statement that Meng Qi only met Frank Miller by chance.
“…… Therefore, Xiaoqi took advantage of this relationship with Frank Miller to obtain the Chinese distribution rights of those comics, and then came back this time to set up an ink washing book company with me to specialize in distributing those comics! ”
After talking for five minutes, Chen Xue explained this series of things clearly.
Meng Qi is also to blame.
If Meng Qi had honestly admitted that he was Frank Miller, he wouldn't have had to go through such a big deal at all.
However, even if Chen Xue said this, few of you really understand comics, and it is difficult to form an intuitive impression on them based on Chen Xue's sentence "Frank Miller's comics are very popular in the American Federation".
"Okay, it's better to start a company, it should be better than that bookstore!"
Yi Shuang, a good old man, saw that no one spoke, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"No, it's definitely better than that bookstore!" Meng Qi looked at the room full of people, silent silence, incomprehensible incomprehension, disdainful disdain, sobbing sobbing, smiled slightly, and said, "Take Frank Miller's "Superman" as an example, the entire comic has sold more than 30 million copies in the United States Federation......
Meng Qi's voice stopped just right.
Yi Guo's temper was like gunpowder exploding, and then he shouted: "How much? More than 30 million copies? This special book earns 30 million yuan for a dollar?! It's too good to make money, isn't it? ”
Chen Hui was more steady, took out his mobile phone and checked it on the Internet, his face quickly became a little exciting, Zhou Xiaohong saw her husband's complicated expression, and also leaned over,
On the page opened by the mobile phone browser, a bright red title stabbed her eyes.
"Frank Miller: Ten million is just the beginning!"
She snatched the phone and flipped it down, her hands trembling uncontrollably.
All of this Frank Miller comics have sold tens of millions?!
If Chen Xue really got the Chinese distribution rights of these comics...... She glanced at Chen Xue with some fear, and didn't dare to continue thinking about it......
Chen Guangfu looked at the changes in Chen Hui and his wife, his face sank, and he immediately took out his mobile phone to check it, and soon found out the news.
Even if only one-tenth of the sales are sold in Huaxia, it is still millions of copies, not to mention, with the importance that Huaxia attaches to the animation industry, this industry seems to be the pillar of the cultural industry, with the world's largest market, how can sales be low?
Thinking of what he had just said to Meng Yan, Chen Guangfu regretted it a little......
Chen Benming and Chen Benli are both regarded as human beings who have been working in the relationship for many years, looking at the subtle changes of those people sitting on the sofa, they also know that what Meng Qi said is true.
Chen Benli snorted coldly and stopped talking, of course, he couldn't say anything.
Chen Benming breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to glance at Meng Qi with grateful eyes, put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked to the study again, and said, "If you have a career, you can do it well...... Now that life is better, when will the matter between the two of you be decided......"
Chen Benli and the others also followed back to the study.
This means that Meng Qi's beating was so lightly revealed.
Chen Xue watched Chen Benming walk into the study, and went back to sit next to Yi Shuang, this time, everyone looked at her and Meng Yan differently.
"Xiaoxue will become a multimillionaire in the future, but don't forget our brothers and sisters......" Chen Guangfu was the first to speak.
Chen Hui also said: "Can you speak, Xiaoxue talks so much about feelings, how can you forget, isn't it, Xiaoxue?" ”
Zhou Xiaohong also licked her face at this time, ran over and had to sit next to Chen Xue, and said with a smile: "It was too far away just now, I can't see clearly...... How could Xiaoxue wear fake clothes......"
The enthusiasm in the tone can make people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Yi Shuang and Yi Guo didn't have so many fancy intestines, Yi Guo just shouted that he must drive Chen Xue's car to Shuang two more later, and Yi Shuang sat on the sofa and was really happy for Chen Xue.
Meng Yan was a little bored when he saw such a sudden change in painting style, stood up, walked to the balcony, then closed the glass door and lit a cigarette.
Generally speaking, he never smoked in the Chen family, and in order not to make his impression worse in the eyes of Chen Benming and others, no matter how big his addiction was, he persevered.
But, today, he couldn't help it.
Meng Qi looked at Meng Yan's somewhat lonely and helpless background, and also walked to the balcony and stood beside Meng Yan.
"Feeling upset?" Meng Qi looked at the garden downstairs, this community is very green.
Meng Yan didn't answer, just took a big puff of cigarette hard, and then spit out a series of smoke.
Meng Qi smiled and said, "There's no way to be unhappy, I think you know very well that this world is like this...... The magic of money is always unbeatable! ”
Meng Yan extinguished the cigarette butt, then wrapped it in a piece of tissue paper, and said, "No...... I'm just upset with myself. When Chen Xue was bullied, I couldn't do anything......"
"I remember that my father used to say that to be a man, you have to look at your feet to be down-to-earth, you have to look ahead, and you have to look forward to move forward, but you must not look back, looking backwards will only make you hesitate......" Meng Qi looked at Meng Yan and said softly.
"Do you remember these words......" Meng Yan's expression froze.
Meng Qi laughed: "Of course I remember." No matter what I do in the future, these are good words. ”
Meng Yan glanced at Meng Qi in surprise, he knew that his younger brother had something to say, but at this time, what else could he say?
Isn't the dignity of himself and his beloved woman saved by Meng Qi?
Meng Qi continued: "I am more and more convinced that money is the most important thing in this world besides emotions - of course, this is only for you and me, and maybe for other people, such as those people......"
Meng Qi pointed to the Chen family members surrounding Chen Xue in the living room and said, "For example, those people, they will put money above everything. However, their view is not entirely wrong, but I think that in this world, money is the standard by which everything is measured, money is the absolute guarantee that you can live the life you want, and money is the only shortcut to your dreams! ”
"Other than that, it's nothing...... But that's where the magic comes in......"
After Meng Qi said this, he patted his brother on the shoulder, and then pushed the glass door, preparing to leave this somewhat cold place.
He still didn't say that he was already a cartoonist, but he believed that he had left a seed in Meng Yan's heart.
At the moment when Meng Qi was about to completely close the door, Meng Yan's soft voice came.
"Thank you, Nicky."
Meng Qi smiled and closed the glass door.
