The missing third grandfather?

Meng Zhe is a little strange, didn't Kong Sanye go abroad to study, even if he disappeared, he shouldn't go to China to look for it, right?

Although he felt strange, Meng Zhe didn't ask anything, but quietly continued to listen to Kong Lan: "My third grandfather was sent to study at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom by my great-grandfather during the Anti-Japanese War, but when the third grandfather graduated, he suddenly lost contact with his family......

"The University of Edinburgh?" Meng Zhe couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Yes, University of Edinburgh, Xiao Zhe seems to have heard of this school?" Kong Lan glanced at Meng Zhe, she originally thought that Meng Zhe would not know about this university, although the mainland has been reforming and opening up for some years, but the inland area is still very closed in Kong Lan's eyes.

"I know a little bit, it seems that Darwin, who proposed the theory of evolution, and Maxwell, the father of electromagnetism, are both alumni of the University of Edinburgh, right, Sister Lan?" Meng Zhe replied very 'obediently', although he knew that the person from the University of Edinburgh was actually J-K-Rowling.

Yes, it's Ms. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series of novels. But Meng Zhe can't say this now, after all, the first part of "Harry Potter" will only be published in 1997, Ms. Rowling should have just divorced her husband at this time, probably worrying about her daughter, right?

Kong Lanxian was slightly surprised by Meng Zhe's answer, she originally just thought that what Meng Zhe knew might only be the name of Edinburgh.

"Xiao Zhe is very powerful, is it because he wants to be a scientist in the future?" Kong Lan couldn't help pinching Meng Zhe's cheek again, she felt that as she got to know better, this younger brother became more and more liking her.

It's a pity that Meng Zhe shook his head very firmly, and while successfully getting rid of Kong Lan's pinched face, he also said his future wishes that were completely unexpected by Kong Lan: "I will become a cartoonist." ”

"Cartoonist?" Kong Lan was dumbfounded, but then she thought of the three Q-version avatars that Meng Zhe had drawn for her when she was on the street just now, and she was relieved: "It's mangaka, right?" If I'm not mistaken, the cartoonist over there is indeed a very good career. ”

mangaka, in fact, is the Roman spelling of the Chinese vocabulary, which means cartoonist, Kong Lan's pronunciation is very standard, and it can be seen that she is proficient in the language. Obviously, Kong Lan has understood what type of cartoonist Meng Zhe is talking about.

After affirming Meng Zhe's ambition, Kong Lan then poured cold water without hesitation: "However, although I don't want to say this kind of thing, Brother Xiao Zhe, you must know that unlike the book, the mainland has a very strict and conservative publication censorship system." Therefore, there are many comic themes and elements that can be sold in the market, but it is difficult to be published and distributed in China. And as far as I know, so far there are no anime magazines in the country, and all the various anime books sold on the market seem to be pirated ......"

Meng Zhe was very moved, although he actually knew better what Kong Lan said, he was still very moved-

If she didn't really care, if she wasn't really thinking about herself, this kind of harm to others would not be good for herself, Kong Lan would definitely not say it.

"Sister Lan, thank you!" Meng Zhe sincerely expressed his gratitude, and then continued firmly: "But Sister Lan, it is precisely because of what you said that China's animation industry has a very big market!" If there is demand, there will be a market, this is an objective law of economics, so sooner or later someone will invest in eating this crab! ”

Speaking of this, Meng Zhe paused slightly, and after organizing the language, he continued to speak: "As for the issue of comic themes and elements, within the scope of permission, in fact, you can draw a lot of things. Moreover, there are some limitations, which are not insurmountable......"

After listening to Meng Zhe's big talk, Kong Lan was completely shocked, if it wasn't for Meng Zhe standing in front of her, she would never believe that these words would come from the mouth of a twelve-year-old boy!

Kong Lan lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then slowly looked up at Meng Zhe, and asked with a solemn and serious face: "Xiao Zhe, did you think of all those words just now?" ”

It's not what I thought, it's the history that really exists.

Although China's animation industry is still underdeveloped in later generations, at least there are some good local cartoonists and a few fairly good animation magazines.

At least, "Meet the Empress," which Meng Zhe does not dare to paint now and thinks will be judged to be discrediting the socialist family, passed the publication review in 2010, and it seems that there is no need to even revise it......

"Well, Xiao Zhe, you said that the animation industry is a big industry, so how big do you think it is? Empty statements are not enough to convince me that I need concrete data. After confirming that Meng Zhe was not talking casually, Kong Lan immediately raised another question, and she had even ignored Meng Zhe's current age when she had entered the state, and regarded Meng Zhe as an object that could be communicated with on an equal footing!

Meng Zhe said the rise, but he also forgot to continue to pretend to be tender and cute, the old man rolled up his sleeves frantically, and he was used to looking for a pen and paper - when Meng Zhe tried to persuade others, he liked to speak with all kinds of gorgeous data, rather than empty white teeth.

"Give." Kong Lan opened the bag and took out her notebook and pen again.

"Ha, thank you!" Meng Zhe stretched out his hand to take it, and skillfully listed a string of data on the paper.

In the notebook, '1.2 billion', '25%', '30%', '5%', '5', '24', '100' are written in order.

Meng Zhe added a multiplier sign between '1.2 billion' and '25%', and began to explain: "China's population is about to exceed 1.2 billion, and among them, teenagers aged 6-18 account for about 25% of the total population, so the two are multiplied by 300 million, which means that ACG products have a potential audience of 300 million!" ”

"ACG?, what does this exclusive noun mean Brother Xiao Zhe?" Kong Lan interrupted Meng Zhe's narration and asked with some puzzlement.

"The abbreviations of animation, ic, and game are also animation, comics, and games in Chinese, of course, this is a narrow scope."

Meng Zhe explained casually, he paused after explaining, and then marked the multiplier sign in front of '30%': "Now China's urban population is about 30% of the total population, because of the relationship between sales channels and household income, urban children are the main consumer of ACG products, so after multiplying it again, the data becomes 90 million." ”

Then there is the third multiplier: "Among the 900 million urban children, not all children like or can buy ACG products as they wish, so at an extremely conservative 5% ratio, then this anime magazine can also have 04.5 million ...... Well, that's 4.5 million. Ah, 4.5 million people, what a terrible number, and the total population of many small countries does not seem to be that much. ”

Counting this, Meng Zhe marked the next two numbers one after another: "The animation magazine is accustomed to adopting the model of a weekly magazine, which is obviously unrealistic in China for the time being. So, let's assume that there is such a semi-monthly animation magazine with a monopoly surname, which monopolizes the 4.5 million readers in the mainland. So, a year is 24 periods, and the pricing is set to 5 pieces for easy calculation, so after multiplying again, the total annual sales are ......"

"540 million! What does the last 100 mean? Before Meng Zhe could calculate the result, Kong Lan was already one step ahead of him, stretched out his slender fingers, and pointed to the final value and said.

This 100 refers to single books, novels, animations, movies, games, toys, clothing, food, ...... And so on and so forth. Meng Zhe replied, and after the explanation, Meng Zhe did not draw the final multiplication, he put down the signature pen in his hand and waited for Kong Lan's reaction.

Kong Lan used his fingers to slowly swipe over the number written by Meng Zhe, and finally stopped under the big 100 at the end.

"Brother Xiao Zhe, is that all your analysis is?" Kong Lan glanced up at Meng Zhe, and when she spoke, her eyes showed no sign of being moved at all, which was completely unexpected by Meng Zhe.

"Huh?" Meng Zhe blinked, not understanding what Kong Lan meant by this.

"Heh, I have to say that Brother Xiao Zhe, you are very talented in business. But brother-" Looking at Meng Zhe with a puzzled face, Kong Lan reached out again and touched Meng Zhe's head, and his eyes gradually softened: "...... Brother, your data is too idealistic, and doing business is far more complicated than what you want to do. ”

Meng Zhe wanted to say more, but in Kong Lan's LV bag, there was a sudden sound of dripping.

Kong Lan withdrew the hand that was touching Meng Zhe's head, took out a white big brother from her bag, and then she smiled apologetically at Meng Zhe, stretched the big brother's antenna and walked out of the balcony.

Out of politeness, Meng Zhe didn't follow, but at this time, the poor telecommunications network made him easily hear Kong Lan's voice.

"Dad? …… Well...... I know...... I'm leaving for England right away...... Well...... The second thing is to give up ...... for the time being"

Kong Lan, who finished the call, returned to the living room, and said her words of farewell with an apologetic face: "Brother Xiao Zhe, because of a sudden incident, my sister must rush to the UK immediately, because if you stay any longer, you won't be able to catch the flight...... Wait a while, my sister will come back to see you, okay? ”
