After the Chinese New Year, Qin Guanglin re-entered the gym.

It was absolutely impossible to go, but it turned out that after the New Year, I gained a few pounds, and it has begun to affect the piling, which can't be endured, no matter how happy it is, it must be reduced.

The coach was still the same coach as before, but he didn't recognize his old students, and he didn't snort in surprise until he and Qin Guanglin exchanged WeChat.

"Is it possible for me to get down to one hundred and three?"

Qin Guanglin touched the flesh on his stomach and felt a little sad, Teacher He hadn't cried for a long time.

The years are unforgiving.

"It's enough, I think it's one hundred and fifty-six - theoretically, it's just a theory, and most people can't stick to it." The coach secretly wiped his sweat.

“…… Okay, let's start first, don't pity me. ”

For the sake of his own happiness, Qin Fat Man began to work hard, and the first thing he did when he got home every day was to hold the scale.

Why don't you go to work and get off work leisurely, the traces left by the years are not reflected in her body, but she also began to make facial masks to prevent aging too quickly.

Life is a process of tossing oneself, and it is always idle.

"Has anyone hooked up with you at the gym?"

Why didn't he, who was leaning on the sofa and putting on a mask with his feet crossed, heard the door knocking, looked up, and asked Qin Guanglin, who had come back from exercise.

"Hook up with a fart, I used to be so handsome, and now my daughter can look at me......"

"Sweaty and sweaty, hurry up and take a shower, don't hug her as soon as you come back."

"I got cold when I came back."

Qin Guanglin begged to hold his daughter in vain and arched him to the side, leaned on the sofa and hugged his daughter to watch TV, why not hum unhappily, and arched to him.

"Don't make a fuss, I'm tired right now......"

"Just make trouble."

……

The night scene of Los Angeles is bustling and lively, with lights and neon lights that rejuvenate the city.

In the other corner of the city, on the 27th floor, the living room was empty, only a kitten was lying lazily on the sofa, the lights were bright, Chen Rui stood alone by the window and looked into the distance, giving rise to a sense of loneliness for no reason.

Entrepreneurship is not only facing customers, but also peers - especially in an industry that has matured, with enthusiasm can not go far.

A faint sigh came out of his mouth, and after a long time, Chen Rui gathered his mind and returned to the computer to continue to be busy.

May.

The weather had begun to be a little dry, and on a sunny weekend, Chen Rui asked Qin Guanglin out to discuss the company's affairs.

Although he has been out of office for two years, Qin Guanglin is still one of the main painters of the company, and the popularity of the two comics has always been high, and Chen Rui will consult him about any comics.

"So idle, ask me out for tea?"

"Something, something important."

Chen Rui had a trace of worry in his eyebrows, he didn't joke with him, if it wasn't for the fact that things were really difficult, he wouldn't have deliberately asked Qin Guanglin to come out.

"The channels that we have cooperated with before will not be renewed when their contracts expire from next month."

"Huh?" Qin Guanglin was puzzled, "Why don't you continue?" ”

"People don't renew."

“…… And then what? ”

"And ......," Chen Rui paused as he looked at him, "didn't you understand what that meant?" ”

"What does that mean?" Qin Guanglin asked.

He really didn't think about the impact of this for a while, so if he didn't renew it, he wouldn't renew it......

"Your income is lower."

Chen Rui looked at him, "More than 20% of your previous income came from various channels, and now the cooperation with them has been terminated, not only the channel revenue has decreased, but the exposure has also decreased accordingly......"

"Uh...... Quite a lot. Qin Guanglin scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Why did it suddenly stop?"

"Didn't I remind you a long time ago......" Chen Rui sighed, "Now that we are isolated, this is just the beginning, I don't know what awaits later." ”

Although the platform itself has a certain popularity, it is still not enough, it is the time of development, once the income plummets, it is difficult for the original top-level painters to dig up, and when the low-level painters he has cultivated become famous, it is also easy to be poached by others.

This is the difficulty of small companies, even if all the resources are tilted to one person, it is not as good as the casual exposure of large companies, and it is difficult to gather popularity, let alone income.

"The company is going out of business?" Qin Guanglin asked, why did his mouth really open up?

“……”

Chen Rui was choked for a moment, and waved his hand angrily, "Can you hope for something good?" At the beginning, I thought I was going out of business...... Forget it, you don't understand either. ”

He sighed and said, "Calling you out is to let you know in advance, don't lose money by then—but you should have earned enough money, right?" The physical sales alone are happy enough, and your wife is a great writer...... Gee. ”

In the past, it was a small studio, and no one cared how it operated, but now the platform has become a microclimate, and some people can't sit still...... No one would allow him to give the meat to the painters.

It is the time of development, at this time to be engaged, the virtuous circle is broken, and it may not reflect anything in the short term, but it is difficult to get out in the long run, not to mention that the follow-up does not know what moths will come out - it is not impossible to be scattered.

Chen Rui also became clear about his predicament a while ago: immediate interests are a trivial matter, and when his platform really grows, he will dig into the corners of the entire industry at that time, which is terrible.

There are only two options in front of him, become a great god nursing home, and shrink tepidly to get some soup from the comic market, otherwise he can only wait to be suppressed or acquired.

After telling Qin Guanglin about this, Qin Guanglin was silent, this is not something that he can mix with a painter, even if he is twice as famous, it is useless - the only possible help is to help him take a breath when Chen Rui collapses.

"You don't have much future in this company." Qin Guanglin smacked his lips and shook his head.

"It's too late, if it was estimated that it could have been killed a few years ago, it is almost monopolized now...... It's too difficult to change the dynasty. ”

Chen Rui sighed, wishing that he could not be born twenty years earlier.

"Anyway, you're quite conscientious, the one who contacted me last time gave me a condition, and then I asked someone I knew, guess what?"

"Huh?"

"There is a clause like this, they have the right to change my comics, when I don't want to draw, find someone to help me draw with my name......" Qin Guanglin looked speechless, "It's too fresh." ”

"It's been like this for a long time, and you still know too little." Chen Rui smiled, paused, and said, "You still went to ask?" ”

"Ah...... Haha, just learn about it casually, don't worry, it will definitely stay with you. Qin Guanglin snorted.

If this side is over, he will always have to live, and no matter how unhappy he is, he will have to find a place to bow his head and eat.

"Don't worry, as long as you can hold on, I'll stay with you, my daughter is growing up day by day, and the sequel hasn't been drawn yet."

"I'm relieved to have your words."

Chen Rui nodded, clenched his fists and waved fiercely, "them!" ”

"Have faith?" Qin Guanglin asked.

"Of course not, no matter how big people are, pinching me is like pinching grasshoppers."

"Then what are you bouncing about?"

"You have to jump twice, you can't admit it so easily."

Chen Rui turned his head to look out the window, and the sunlight shone on his face through the window railing, forming a clear light and shadow.

"Success doesn't have to be me, as long as I make this head, there will always be people like me who will stand up behind me."

"Like Yu Le?" Qin Guanglin's eyes suddenly flashed with Yu Le's feverish eyes.

"Yes, like him, and many more like him."
