PS: The first is to ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!

The second call Li Mochen received was from Biston Comics. The phone came from a middle-aged male voice.

"- Yes, our editorial team has already seen your comic submission and thought we could talk to you. ”

"Although the art style is strange, the plot is simple and naïve, and the characters are too beautiful, it does not completely negate the commercial value of your comics. ”

"Yes, we have the intention to publish this comic for you. However, there are some requests, and I would like you to revise the manuscript based on the comments of our editorial team. And then there's the publicity, and we hope that after the comics are published, you, Mr. Wildenstein, will be able to cooperate with the publicity. ”

"I can't say for sure how much the draft will be revised, it depends on the situation. After signing the contract, our editorial team will provide you with an outline of the story. Truth be told, we prefer your protagonist to join the Biston family. ”

"There are also requirements for copyright, and we have to get the exclusive authorization of all items of this comic, including film and television, animation adaptation rights, as well as the rights to recreate and adapt comic characters. ”

"We will give you six percent of the royalties for the first edition, and according to the rules of the industry, the price for newcomers is basically five percent, and the conditions we give you are very sincere. Or you can consider selling it to us after the revision is completed, the current price of the comic magazine is 1,500 gold per page color manuscript, 500 gold a black and white single copy, we can provide you with this buyout price when the first edition is completed. ”

"No! No, these conditions are not too harsh, Mr. Wildenstein, and we need to take considerable risks in publishing this comic for you. ”

Li Mochen's face was full of black lines, and he hung up the phone directly.

He had already heard that the Biston comics company, like the other comic publishers who had contacted him in the past two days, had not taken a fancy to his drawings at all, but only to his current fame. As for what kind of revisions, most of them have to redraw a comic according to the plot they specified, and then use his current popularity to promote it. And if you refuse, you have to pay liquidated damages to the comic company.

This situation is no different from the vast majority of so-called cartoonists in America, basically what kind of plot the editorial team of the comic company formulates, these cartoonists have to draw anything. But in Li Mochen's view, they are just painters, not painters.

This made Li Mochen feel very bad, and he realized that his plan to rely on comics to make money might be bankrupt. He was the last comic company to contact him, and if even these comics-specific publishers couldn't accept his submissions, the other publishers were receptive.

It wasn't until twenty minutes later, when Sampson's phone call finally came, that he lifted his spirits a little.

"I'm sorry boss, it took a little time when we came back from there. ”

"Guessed that you were in trouble in the dark world, right?"

"It's a detachment of the Ghost Warsong Hunting Order. ”

Sampson explained, "But we were well prepared, and we were determined to advance in the direction of Ghost City, and they didn't dare to make a move. ”

After all, this time was different from the robbery of the Craig Community Bank, first, there were enough people, and there were more than 70 armed magic professionals in the team, including six at the extralegal level; second, they were not attractive enough, and the armored vehicles did not carry hundreds of millions of gold shields and gold bricks.

The Ghost Warsong Hunters have a good relationship with Antonio, but it would be reluctant for them to pay hundreds of lives and injuries for a partner.

"How's it going? How many dead and wounded are there in our hunting group?"

Li Mochen's first concern was about casualties, and the reason why he said it was a hunting group was to prevent the phone between the two from being tapped.

"I'm sorry, but three people were killed and seven wounded, two of whom may not be able to work for you anymore. ”

Sampson's tone was very flat, after all, he was a veteran commander who was born in the military and had dozens of missions, and he had long been accustomed to seeing life and death.

"We're too impatient when it comes to hunting magical creatures, it's my fault, boss. ”

Li Mochen couldn't help but sigh: "Pay attention next time, in that case, I'd rather you return for nothing." Help me contact their families later, and I will give them a pension according to the best standards in the industry. ”

But other than that, he didn't say anything more.

If you want to say that he is accustomed to life and death, he Li Mochen is better than Sampson in this regard. In the realm of the Primordial Firmament, there were tens of thousands of demons and demons who died under his hands, and there were more than 20 sects that he planned to eradicate, even if there were more than 100,000 large wars, he had personally commanded seventeen battles.

It is very rare for a person like him to show an attitude of valuing the lives of his subordinates even on the surface.

"Thank you, there are few bosses who are as kind and generous as you. ”

Sampson sighed with relief, and then talked about what Li Mochen was most concerned about: "The income from our hunting of magical creatures this time is a total of 31 million gold, in addition to a large amount of additional income, the market price should be 42 million." I brought them out, and Major Adams thought they should be burned on the spot, but I didn't think we could make a claim, and he listened to me after the argument. ”

"Major Adams, he's right, those extra gains brought out should be destroyed as soon as possible. ”

Li Mochen's sword eyebrows raised slightly, knowing that what Sampson said about 'extra gain' was mostly referring to drugs.

"Sampson, I appreciate your caution, but if you encounter similar situations in the future, please destroy them as soon as possible. None of us will ever touch these things again. I would like you and Major Adams to personally supervise the execution of this matter, and you have to make sure that our men do not steal from it, you know?And those gold shields—in addition to the cost of the pension, 30% of which will be given as your bonus, and the specific proportion of the amount will be negotiated between you and Major Adams, and the rest of the money will be deposited into the Swiss bank account I gave you for the rest of the war funds. ”

"30% yes? Thank you for your generosity!"

At this time, Sampson's voice also contained a bit of gratitude.

Three minutes later, Sampson Brutt, who hung up the phone in a restaurant in the city center, smiled and looked at Thompson Adams, who was sitting across from him.

"Adams, the employer I introduced you, he didn't disappoint you. All the drugs are destroyed, the industry's most generous pension standards, and a 30% bonus. According to our agreement, all my winnings will be yours this time. ”

"Wow, then we can order, tell the waiter that we want the best steak, and I'll treat you today." ”

Major Thompson Adams, who has knife-like facial features and a cold temperament, raised his chin at this time, and his face was already full of smiles: "This is indeed a generous employer, but Sampson, when can I meet our boss? I'm really curious about him, I think the boss must be different from the fighting star on TV, right?"
