Chapter Seventy-Seven: On the Right Track

With the news, go back and report to Nick.

The four people, who were still excited, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

It couldn't have come at a better time.

Nick used his connections to investigate, and sure enough, as Jarvis said, Stark Enterprises was in trouble.

As once the country's top technology company, and also funded many advanced weapons in the military, Howard's every move will attract major attention.

There is a serious suspicion that he is doing business with other countries.

Stark Enterprises is in crisis, which is what Nick and others don't want to see.

At the same time, it also means that the group they set up can come in handy.

"What to do? Shall we act! ”

Dugan was a little impatient, smoking a cigar and asking.

"Why don't we split up. You guys go investigate, I'm here to deal with those customers, and by the way, I'm doing comics. Anyway, the company is just a faΓ§ade, so you don't have to worry. ”

Lin Yi made a suggestion slyly, and everyone acted separately.

Nick: What should they do, it's up to them to do comics.

This idea won the approval of several people, anyway, they are not material for comics, of course, they happily go to be agents.

Nick nodded, indicating that the burden is on you.

In addition, he also asked Lin Yi not to be reluctant, to draw comics if he can, and not to burden himself.

"Burden! How so? ”

Lin Yi pretended to show a wry smile, but in fact, he was beautiful in his heart!

I want to single-handedly create the glorious history of Meiman, so I ask you if you are afraid?

So as planned, Carter goes to contact Jarvis, who is accompanied by Dugan to investigate Howard's wrongdoing.

As for Nick, he went to investigate the information and was in charge of support.

Lin Yi stayed to guard the base camp, and by the way, he found a newspaper to publish a recruitment notice.

He's going to find some real cartoonists to help him?

Lin Yi has thought about this, he has a story, and he is just a real master.

Taking advantage of the absence of the bigwigs, the company finally calmed down, Lin Yi called out the small wrecking ball, and searched for the hope country in this world, but there were talents he expected to cooperate with.

Unexpectedly, I really found a few terrible people.

Stan Lee's old partner, Jack Cobi, and a cartoonist named Jacob Kuzberg at this time, were also there, but he hadn't created Team America comics yet, and he was just illustrating some novels, which was a bit unpleasant.

His other partner, Josimon, began writing for films, and occasionally collaborated with Jacob to create some less popular short comics.

The two of them are middle-aged future comic masters, although they are not as famous as Stan Lee later, but they are not doing well in this world?

Lin Yi hoped that they could come over and have dinner together.

So after the recruitment notice was issued, Lin Yi secretly promoted all this.

deliberately passed the news to the two of them, which made Jacob, who was far away, have a different mind.

A comic book company that has just risen, it has only been published for three issues and is so popular, and it is still the story of Captain Mi that they have always loved, which is really a rare opportunity.

That night, Jacob called and expressed his desire to join.

This man is the future king of American comics in middle age, and he expressed his eagerness to create superheroes on the phone, and he is talented, that's for sure.

Lin Yi nodded, and asked him to bring a work first and come over to take a look.

Not surprisingly, Jacob arrived at their office that afternoon and brought out his own illustration of the American team.

This is what he has carefully planned for a long time, and after the history of the American team is integrated into this world, he has long wanted to draw a story about superheroes.

Lin Yi listened to his thoughts, nodded from time to time, but said, "So, what are your requirements for treatment?" ”

"Treatment?"

Jacob was stunned, patronizing and recommending his own works, never thinking about what kind of treatment he should get after successfully applying for the job?

"I'd like to have more control than the treatment. For example, the direction of the story, as well as the control of the painting style. Also, I'd like to recommend another partner! ”

Lin Yi knew that he was talking about Josiemon, and there was no problem originally, but he was afraid that if he agreed too quickly, it would arouse suspicion.

He could only cross his hands: "To be honest, in fact, there are some problems in our company, and the investor is going to run away." I guess there will be a shortage of funds, but I am very optimistic about the emerging industry of comics and hope to get through it. You guys are free to play, but I would say there aren't many resources for you! ”

Euphemistically expressed the conditions not very much, but in exchange for Jacob's chuckle.

"It's okay, I don't think that's a problem. How much can you guarantee to print in one issue? ”

"There were only a few hundred copies before, but now, try to have more than a thousand."

"I hope to sell more than 10,000 copies soon!"

Jacob said with confidence.

It's really ambitious.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, so let's see?

The next day, he brought Josimon with him.

The three of them had a meeting together to study the direction of the follow-up plot.

Lin Yi basically can't intervene, he is only responsible for controlling the general direction, such as what the two are going to do, and what the plot will be?

The follow-up, handed over to the printing house and then issued, is their own business.

Lin Yi finished the task and went to work.

The printing house or something, it's not a trivial matter for him.

Summoning the little wrecking ball, creating a factory by yourself, and being directly responsible for printing, the rest of the matter is not difficult.

Of course, the next step is to expand the staff, expand the scale, and when you are on the track, you can retire successfully.

Or, mention it in the rest of the story.

For example, if you need to create the Hulk, you can give a creative idea to draw the Hulk, and if you need to create Thor, you can make up a story about Asgard for them, it's so easy!

Lin Yi beckoned the two to officially join the company, went out to do errands by himself, and paid attention to the situation on Nick's side by the way.

Howard's situation doesn't seem good.

Someone wants to fix him, obviously for the fat of Stark Enterprise.

After all, it's a hen that lays golden eggs, and there are many people who want to use their brains!

However, with Nick out of the horse, Lin Yi is not worried.

He has to study how to continue to strengthen S.H.I.E.L.D. and plan for his future career.

For example, Nick's deputy Hill should also play, right?

and his golden henchman, the immortal Cosen, should also think about what opportunity to integrate into history.

It seems that the only way to solve it is to find a way to solve it from the recruitment of people.

Lin Yi went out for a few days and found an abandoned factory in the suburbs, which happened to be transformed into a printing factory.

By the way, he also visited newsstands in the city, as well as some of the larger shops and post offices, to sell their new comics.

At first, those people didn't have a big cold, probably because they didn't know the name of this comic, and it wasn't until they mentioned that the new comic that became out of print when the first issue was released, and then someone suddenly realized.

So his attitude changed greatly, and he asked for more.

After selling all the way, tens of thousands of copies were actually booked, and the sales were really extraordinary.

Lin Yi went back to tell the two cartoonists the good news, but they were excited.

That's a good sign.

However, problems also arise.

As the number of comic strips increases, the quality of the print needs to keep up, and there must be professional salesmen to maintain these outlets.

Otherwise, if there is any dispute, or the reader does not react well, it will be troublesome.

Lin Yi naturally took it upon himself and continued to publish their recruitment notices in the newspaper, while also funding the serialization of several short stories.

It's all Jack and Josimon who collaborated to draw a four-panel comic, which is just right for publicity.

Money? Lin Yi is really not lacking.

The 100,000 yuan that Howard gave was still in the account, but it didn't cost much money, and it just continued to squander.

He spent a lot of money on advertising, precisely in order to increase his popularity in the future, and the next step was to build the factory.

In the dead of night, go to the selected factory, summon a creation suit, make a manga factory, integrate it into the divine mind to cultivate it, and send it out to create success.

After consuming four or five hundred points, a physical factory was obtained, with an estimated daily output of tens of thousands of copies.

Of course, from the outside, it looks like an abandoned factory.

Lin Yi paid a thousand dollars to buy it, which is also worth the money.
