Mr. 109 Sergeant Major

readx;? This is a luxuriously decorated study. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition to the shelves for all kinds of books, the most striking thing in the large room is the row of rifles hanging on the wall behind the desk.

If someone who knows guns is here, they will quickly find that these rifles are a good example of how this firearm has evolved.

Among them, there are many antique guns that are still rare and highly collectible.

The desk is simply furnished, with no electrical equipment other than a telephone and a lamp, highlighting the owner's old-fashioned style.

There were also a number of photographs on the desk, mostly black and white of a young soldier with a bright smile as the protagonist, from which it could be inferred that the owner of the room must have had a military career, and, in his mind, this time was clearly very nostalgic for him.

An old man sits on a couch.

He wears a pinstriped white shirt with a well-fitting black waistcoat and a black bow tie at the collar to show a standard gentlemanly style.

His hair was gray, but he was meticulously combed back, and his godfather-like big back brought a hint of majesty to his whole temperament.

His spirit is still strong, and people will unconsciously ignore his age when they see him for the first time.

On the small coffee table next to the sofa, there is a cup of freshly brewed black tea, which is steaming, and next to the teacup, there are several plates of delicate snacks.

The old man gently placed the newspaper he had just finished reading on the coffee table, and on the newspaper, a headline in bold letters was very eye-catching: AC Comics has accelerated its expansion, and the entertainment empire has begun to take shape.

The old man closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

A middle-aged woman gently pushed open the door of the room, saw the old man who seemed to be asleep, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over and said softly, "Sir, it's ready over there...... The driver is waiting for you outside. ”

The old man still closed his eyes and replied sullenly, "Got it." ”

The middle-aged woman stopped talking and retreated silently, and when she was about to walk to the door, she suddenly heard the old man calling: "Angelina......"

"Yes, sir?"

"Do you think I'm getting old, and my judgment is not as good as it used to be?" asked the old man.

Angelina has been following this old man for more than 20 years, and she is his most trustworthy person both in work and life, and they have naturally formed a tacit understanding before.

Just like now, as soon as the old man spoke, Angelina knew that the other party was talking about AC Comics and Frank Miller.

"Yes, sir......" Angelina's expression was firm, "however, Mr. Sergeant Major as I know has always been invincible!"

With a smile on his face, Mr. Sergeant Major stood up and glanced at the newspaper on the coffee table, "Let's go!"

When the old man arrived at the meeting place, David Stern and Amy Rutham had already arrived early.

This is the fourth time that the Iron Triangle has met since Frank Miller's debut, and this year, this is the second time.

In previous years, they met at most once a year, mostly at the end of the year to discuss the following year.

The old man walked to his exclusive seat and sat down, silently cut the cigar, then silently lit it, silently took a puff, and then spit out a string of smoke.

"I think everyone knows the matter...... "the old man said in a deep voice, putting his cigar on the ashtray, "this time, it was my miscalculation." ”

"No, Mr. Sergeant, this is something that no one can predict...... "Amy Rutham said, "you know, the speed at which AC comics are developing is unreasonable, no one can draw comics at the speed of Frank Miller, no one ......"

"But he did, didn't he? And every comic book succeeded, and more importantly, he created a different world from the Justice League...... "David Stern reminded, "and he also got involved in multiple industries such as anime, TV series, and even toy ...... at the same time."

When he said the word "toy", he glanced at Mr. Sergeant Major quietly.

He knew that actual toys were the core industry of Mr. Sergeant Major.

"Speaking of toys, my friends......" the old man's voice was a little stern, "why didn't we hear the wind at all beforehand......"

"I've already looked into ......," said David Stern, handing the old man a few pieces of paper, "Frank Miller's toy factories are all in China...... We don't have any way to ......."

"What about the sales channel?"

"The first batch of Rubik's Cube was a giveaway, but AC Comics' sales strategy was so subtle that it was too late for us to stop it......"

"Where's the soldiers?"

"Bingren is currently at least pre-sale, but it is foreseeable that in the next few years, this will become the new favorite in the toy market......"

Although Mr. Sergeant's displeasure grew, David Stern answered honestly.

The old man's brows furrowed together, as if he was thinking.

The silence was uncomfortable, and David Stern immediately turned his attention to Amy Rutham: "Ms. Rutham, the undercover agent you sent didn't provide any useful information......

Amy Rutham glared.

"Now is not the time to talk about this...... old man finally spoke again, "think about what to do with Frank Miller...... This time, we can't wait any longer, we can't wait, we have to do it now, right away!"

As he spoke, the old man took out two reports from his bag and threw them to David Stern and Amy Rutham respectively: "You guys take a look at this data analysis ...... first."

In fact, the content of the report is very simple, and it is all about the development and business direction of AC Comics.

Up to now, superhero comics have accounted for 73.24% of the entire comic market share, while AC Comics' superhero comics have a whopping 51.3% market share!!

Not only that, according to the forecast of this report, after the launch of AC Comics, its market share will definitely have a greater increase, and this will continue to promote the development of the entire superhero comics again.

This means that the traditional American comic may decline to the point where there is no place for it in the near future.

In addition, Frank Miller's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Avatars" have always occupied the top two spots in the anime viewership list, and the search index is also high.

And the Wara Bros. will also launch a series of superhero comics in the second half of the year.

As for the NBO, "Smallville" is also about to enter the substantive filming stage in late July.

Then, there is the toy industry, which Mr. Sergeant Major is most concerned about.

Although the only toys that AC Comics really sells are the Rubik's Cube, it is this small cube that has shaken the entire United States.

In less than a month, the Rubik's Cube has sold 6 million pieces, which means that almost every 50 citizens of the U.S. Federation own a Rubik's Cube.

And the pre-tax net profit brought by these Rubik's cubes to Frank Miller and Letoy Toys has exceeded 30 million US dollars.

As for the soldiers, although they are only in the reservation stage, the 70,000 reserved places can still bring tens of millions of dollars in sales.

And Frank Miller is just a small part of his vast superhero arsenal, with more IPs yet to be developed.

Of course, these are not the main worries of Mr. Sergeant Major.

Before Frank Miller released toys, the old man had always regarded him as a cartoonist, but now this cartoonist has launched two game-changing toys at once.

He couldn't guarantee that Frank Miller would do anything unexpected......

He had wanted to wait for Frank Miller to show himself, but he couldn't wait now, because the other party had already begun to do something to shake his foundation.

Looking at the data on the report, David Stern and Amy Rutham both showed extremely shocked looks, if the above data is true, it means that the AC comic company, which was established less than a year ago, has faintly the strength to control the entire American comics?

No, to be exact...... At this time, they all remembered the newspaper they had just read......

Yes, not just the anime industry, but the entertainment industry as a whole!

It's too early to say that the entertainment empire built by Frank Miller is still taking shape, but if AC Comics is allowed to go on a rampage, it is very likely that it will evolve into that situation!

"Are all of this data real?" said Amy Rutham noticed sweat on her forehead.

"These data are all analysed by Angelina...... the old man said softly.

Hearing this name, Amy Rutham stopped asking, she already knew that this data would never go wrong, because, in the past 20 years, no matter how complicated the situation and situation, Angelina has not made a mistake.

"Actually, if we were making superhero comics in the first place, I thought...... With our vast resources, this is not where we are now......" David Stern looked at Mr. Sergeant Major.

"So, I said, it was my mistake!, but I'm not going to change my opinion of superheroes, those can't be called comics at all!" the old man raised his voice, "but, as Ms. Rutham said, every step of Frank Miller is out of the ordinary...... We have no choice but to muster up the courage to fight......"

But, with all that being said, who would have expected Frank Miller's every step to be so shocking and unexpected?

After all, they could never have imagined that behind that man, there was another planet.

The old man continued, "My friends, we were all underestimated before, and now we are facing the most variable, cunning, and elusive enemy of all, so use all your strength to destroy him!"

The fist slammed on the table, and the loud sound seemed to signal the beginning of the battle.
