Rebirth of the God of Comics

Chapter 365: The agreement with Mr. Smith

"Hello Mr. Smith, this is Chen Ze." Chen Ze said. He looked at the man in front of him, with white hair and glasses, and he looked like a scholar at a glance.

Chen Ze remembered the background of this Mr. Smith. He was originally a professor at the University of Washington in the United States, and then he went to sea to do business and joined the Rando Bookstore Group.

This image of him now fits very well with his background.

Thinking of this, Chen Ze smiled again. Just before coming in, he thought that the beautiful woman was Mr. Smith, but turned out to be his secretary.

But his secretary is so beautiful, and two people work in the same room for a long time, wouldn't anything happen?

Although nothing happened, it had nothing to do with Chen Ze, but he always had some "malicious" thoughts in his heart. After all, it seems that Americans often have problems in this regard.

"Hello, Mr. Chen Ze, Miss Lin Lan, please sit down." Smith's words brought Chen Ze back to reality from the "malicious" conjecture.

He looked at Smith's smiling face, nodded with the same smile, and then sat down. Although Chen Ze doesn't understand English very well, he can still understand this simple sentence, please sit down.

But then, Chen Ze was completely lost in confusion.

"Mr. Chen Ze, Miss Lin Lan, first of all, on behalf of our Lando Group, I welcome you to visit us in the United States. I hope that during this time in the United States, you will be able to appreciate the rich culture and beautiful scenery of our country."

Smith had a pure New York accent. Although his speaking speed was not fast, Chen Ze still didn't understand it at all. Hearing what Smith said, he could only smile and nodded.

Fortunately, Lin Lan is by his side, as a person who has studied in the United States for many years. She heard what Smith said, but there was no obstacle.

"Thank you Mr. Smith and the Lando Group for this invitation. New York is a good place. I believe that Chen Ze and I will have a pleasant time during this time." Lin Lan said. The pronunciation is also fairly standard.

"Hey Lin Lan, what are you talking about?" Chen Ze pulled Lin Lan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Smith said that we are welcome to accept the invitation of their Lando Group and come to the United States as a guest." Lin Lan translated Smith's words to Chen Ze.

"Our Lando Group has always been committed to the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures, and translated and published a large number of cultural books for this purpose. In recent years, your China comics industry has developed rapidly, this time with your new animation magazine and Mr. Chen Zelin. With Ms. Lan’s cooperation, we hope that China’s comics can be promoted in the United States, and it will become another important channel for our cultural exchanges between the East and the West."

Smith knew that Chen Ze didn't seem to understand English. After Lin Lan finished translating for Chen Ze, he smiled and said.

After hearing his words, Lin Lan immediately translated them to Chen Ze.

"Mr. Smith, we are also very looking forward to this cooperation. As you said, if our Chinese comics can be promoted in the United States, it will really contribute to the exchange of our Eastern and Western cultures. "Chen Ze also smiled.

After he said this, Lin Lan translated these words to Smith again.

After hearing this, Smith nodded: "Yes, I really like this cooperation, and I think it may be one of the main businesses of our Lando Group in the next few decades."

After decades of development, the Lando Group has reached the limit in its traditional publishing business. Today, with the development of the Internet, the traditional publishing industry has been severely impacted, and many traditional publishing houses have even fallen into a crisis of bankruptcy.

With its profound background, the Lando Group survived this impact tenaciously. But in fact, the vitality has also been quite hurt. Both the turnover and the market crowd are constantly shrinking.

In order to maintain the development of the entire Lando Group, it is bound to expand new businesses and new business methods. At this time, as an executive of the Lando Group, Smith's eyes were projected on the oriental comics industry.

In the past, Oriental comics were not popular in the United States. Therefore, most people think that Oriental comics are meaningless to their own market. But Smith doesn't think so. Being unpopular does not necessarily mean that there is no market.

It is an untapped treasure for all Western publishing houses. Whoever can master him may grasp the foundation of a foothold in the new era.

Therefore, Smith contacted Lin Lan and invited them to the United States.

"Our magazine is also very fancy about this cooperation. If this cooperation can really be reached, I think it will be a win-win situation for both of us." Chen Ze smiled.

The cartoons of China and the East are an untapped treasure for the West. In the western market, this is not the case for China's comics.

If you can really promote your own comics throughout the West and the world. Let alone how much influence it will bring to yourself. Just making money, I am afraid it will bring an extremely terrifying improvement.

It is precisely because of so many considerations that Chen Ze and Lin Lan also attach great importance to this cooperation.

"It's good that we can reach a consensus on this point." After hearing Lin Lan's words, Smith nodded slightly, "However, there are still some obstacles to our cooperation."

"Obstacle, what hindrance?" Lin Lan asked immediately after he translated it to Chen Ze. Chen Ze also looked at Smith with a look of confusion.

"Some people in our group think that it is meaningless to cooperate with you. They do not agree that our group has given too much resources to this cooperation." Smith shrugged helplessly and made a standard Western expression.

After listening, Chen Ze and Lin Lan nodded. They knew about this cooperation before they came, and it certainly wasn't that simple. After all, the response of China's comics in the West and the United States in the past was not very good.

Therefore, the cooperation between myself and the Lando Group will certainly not be smooth sailing this time. There will definitely be people who have doubts or even objections to the cooperation with themselves. This is normal.

Just as Chen Ze thought, not all executives of the Lando Group support the cooperation with Chen Zelinlan to introduce and promote China’s cartoons. Even Smith’s opinion is only a small part of the entire executive group, and most people It is opposed.

They don't think that China's cartoons can be promoted in the United States, especially Chen Ze is a cartoonist in his twenties. The executives of his cartoon Lando Group are even more distrustful.

The invitation to Chen Ze and Lin Lan was already due to Smith insisting on his opinions and even threatening to resign for this reason.

"But it doesn’t matter. I have reached an agreement with them. As long as Mr. Chen Ze can accomplish one thing, then our group will agree to this cooperation, and will tilt a lot of resources to invest in your comics. Promotion is coming." Smith said.

"What? What?" Chen Ze was stunned. After listening to Lin Lan's translation, he didn't expect Smith to say this.

Myself and their cooperation ~www.NovelMTL.com~ actually have to accomplish one thing. But in order to be able to achieve cooperation with the Lando Group, no matter what it is, I will do my best to complete it.

"That is, our group will give you an experiment with a small bookstore. Within a day, no matter what means you use, if that bookstore can sell 500 copies of your comics, then our group will agree to this cooperation with you. Otherwise..." Smith said.

"Five hundred copies!" Chen Ze thought about it, this is actually quite difficult. If you are in China, relying on your popularity, it is very easy for a bookstore to sell 500 copies a day, you don't have to do anything at all, just play your own signature.

But now I am in the United States, and I hardly have any reputation in the United States. Here, it is really difficult to sell 500 copies of comics in one day.

However, no matter what difficulties he faces, Chen Ze will never escape: "Good Mr. Smith, I promised this time!" (To be continued.
