Big Manga

Chapter 240: Transition

Meng Huo was surprised by the content of the first chapter of the manga "Detective Son".

The protagonist of this comic is from Huaxia. He has an awesome detective father, but he himself grew up in China. It can be said that he is from Huaxia.

Meng Huo did not expect that Anthony would write the second story in this way. Compared with the previous work, this story has three major advantages. One is the strong sense of substitution of Chinese identity, the other is the modernization of the era and background, and the third is the presence of female characters. , These three factors make "Detective Son" more up to date and more popular with young people.

But why can an Englishman write a work that takes China as the stage? Moreover, Duke Anthony's writing was excellent. At least in the content of the first chapter, Meng Huo didn't find any strange setting.

He was intrigued, and the night after the fun at the fairgrounds ended, he and Alice talked about it on the phone.

"Because Duke Anthony is a senior Chinese researcher."

Alice explained to him that the principle is similar to that of Meng Huo in his previous life. A strong country is learned by a weak country. In this world, many other countries are familiar with the system and culture of China. Relatively speaking, Chinese citizens are less familiar with the culture of other countries. will be relatively unfamiliar.

So far, only very well-known foreign masterpieces can spread in China, and Anthony's "Detective Sherlock" is one of them, but this is because of its type, because before this book, no one in China has speculative novels. Ask about.

It can be said that "Detective Sherlock" was popular in China back then, and a big factor was that China needed a masterpiece of reasoning to activate the development of this genre.

"But no matter what, it's too real." Meng Huo flipped through the "Weekly Boutique". Said: "The scene inside is exactly the same as Ning Hai."

"Isn't the reason simple?" Alice sighed, "Don't fix your eyes on Duke Anthony, have you forgotten that he also has a cartoonist?"

Meng Huo was taken aback. Then it dawned on me.

Cartoonist, yes, is it a coincidence that "Son of Detective" was launched in the form of a comic? Maybe not, Anthony's original work must have some small flaws and loopholes, but as long as it is published in the form of comics, the person who wrote it is Li Xin, a Chinese cartoonist, who can completely detect the existence of loopholes and then fix them.

For example, Anthony wrote buildings that do not conform to China in the book. Li Xin can restore it, and the scene drawn is the same as China's current situation.

"So... no wonder." Meng Huo shook his head and smiled wryly, "I've already forgotten about Li Xin."

"..." There was a sudden silence on the phone,

Then came Alice's exhausted voice: "I said, Meng Huo, you haven't taken that cartoonist to heart all this time, have you?"

Meng Huo avoided answering.

"Compared to this, I just received the royalties from "Detective Conan." He changed the subject and said, "Nine million, isn't that the right amount?"

A booklet of "Detective Conan" released during a trip to the Far East. The royalties have already been remitted to Meng Huo's account, but the amount is different from what was expected. The royalties paid to Meng Huo in this booklet should be around 20 million.

"The royalties are not a one-time payment." Alice laughed: "This is the first payment, and the rest will be called to you within two months."

The release of a single book involves the cooperation of many merchants, especially for companies with small channels like Phoenix, it takes a long time to calculate royalties. And Meng Huo's amount was huge. Generally, it is divided into two payments. There are also some techniques to reduce tax payment. The larger the amount of Huaxia's royalties, the more payments will be made.

"I understand."

Meng Huo nodded. In fact, nine million was enough for him. The next day was Sunday, and Meng Huo's family found the original owner to pay off the remaining arrears of the house in one lump sum. So far, the house in Jiayuan Community has completely become his home.

on the way back. Li Qin looked particularly excited.

"Finally let go of one thing on my mind." She was relieved. Although her son was able to make money, the house had been owed several million dollars a while ago. This made Li Qin feel like he was in debt, and he couldn't let it go. .

This time it's all right, the house is paid off, Huaxia has no time limit for land use, as long as they don't sell that house, they can live there for generations.

"By the way, Xiao Huo, mom is going to buy some food...you tell everyone to come over for lunch." Li Qin stopped again. She wanted to celebrate warmly, so she said something to Meng Huo, turned around and walked towards the vegetable market go.

"Auntie, I'll accompany you!"

Shen Jie looked at Meng Huo, then at Li Qin, her eyes rolled, and unexpectedly she chose to leave with Li Qin.

Meng Huo took out his mobile phone and notified several assistants, Alice and the others, asking them to come over for dinner when they were free. After the phone call, Meng Huo was not in a hurry to go home. He went to the bank and transferred the remuneration of Teacher Tomato and Xi Wenlin.

Before noon, two assistants arrived first.

"Teacher He Xi, I have received the transfer!!"

As soon as he entered the door, Tomato rushed forward with a full face of excitement, holding He Xi's hand and waving it up and down: "Teacher, thank you so much, Teacher Hua Meng and I originally wanted to postpone our marriage, but we can do it right away after receiving your money." ..."

Before he finished speaking, his ears were twisted by Teacher Hua Meng.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Hua Meng pulled Tomato away with a flushed face, then bowed slightly to the surprised Meng Huo, and said, "Mr. He Xi, don't listen to him..."

Meng Huo interrupted her with his hand, frowned and said, "Okay, tell me when to get married!"

He couldn't take it anymore, the two of them showed their affection all day long, so it would be better if they got married sooner.

"It hasn't been decided yet..." Teacher Huameng replied, but Tomato jumped up: "We plan in two weeks."

"Hey, it's not settled yet..." Hua Meng was a little anxious, but Meng Huo nodded and said, "Two weeks later, I'll remember, you guys should send invitations earlier, I will come over to support you!"

As soon as he said this, Hua Meng's face turned red.

"why is it like this……"

The blush was blushing, but Hua Meng didn't deny it anymore. Instead, she hid in the kitchen as if she wanted to escape, and got busy with Li Qin and Shen Jie.

At noon, Alice and Ye Xiong came with a few editors. Xi Wenlin was the last one to arrive, but he brought his wife, a pretty and gentle woman with a nice name, Mo Xue.

The couple received Meng Huo's transfer, and when they entered the door, they had a good meal of gratitude. After the gratitude, Mo Xue was pulled into the kitchen by Li Qin to help.

On this day, they had a lively noon, but after the excitement, the days returned to calm.

Immediately afterwards, Phoenix Company's new magazine passed the review, and "One Piece" began to publicize with great momentum.
