Chapter 123
An Yinong knew in his heart that he might have met the ‘bureau’, but he didn’t move, just smiled and invited the two to sit down.
“A few brothers have come over here, have you eaten yet? Why don’t we order first and take our time to talk?”
These four people looked at each other and sat down with a smile.
An Yinong looked down at his watch, his left hand flew to write on a small slip of paper, his fingers were rubbed into a roll, and then through the cover of the table into the hands of the Editor Qian: “Miss Qian, don’t you have to go to the bathroom? Can you call the waiter for us on the way out?”
“Okay, okay.” An Yinong’s calmness gave Qian editor a lot of courage, her heart was about to beat out of her chest but still looked very calm.
Here An Yinong still calmly received these four ‘bad comers’, while Qian editor walked out, went to call the waiter, ran to the bathroom again, and looked to make sure no one was there, before opening the note.
The note was written in a crooked manner: call, He House, call someone.
“Call call call.” Cell phones have not yet appeared, call can only go to the lobby of this restaurant, or go out to find a phone booth.
Editor Qian thinks that this is the other side of the restaurant booked, who knows if it will be a gang, so slip out the back door next to the toilet and look for a phone booth.
This ended An Yinong with a menu in the order, he slowly and methodically, first asked about the restaurant’s signature dishes and then asked these people what they liked.
One of them probably disliked him for dawdling, the menu didn’t even look at it and reported a string of dish names.
“Sure enough,” An Yinong thought to himself, “they are familiar with this restaurant, maybe they have a friendship.”
After ordering the dishes, they had to order drinks, and An Yinong took the list and asked them one by one what they liked.
“Hey, kid, you ordered so many things, you don’t want us to treat you, right?” A small punk with dyed red hair asked him, a man who kept moving around and seemed uncomfortable wearing a suit.
“How come? Of course, it’s my treat, my father at home taught that boys should be generous outside.” An Yinong smiled with narrowed eyes, pure goodness.
He is young and looks very young, the aura collected is a teenage student boy, really let people can not raise the heart of the defense.
However, they are a little confused: “Child, “The Desert” is your painting?”
An Yinong showed a little panic: “Yes, it’s a collaboration, I came up with the idea and asked someone to come and paint.”
Oh ~ they looked at each other: so it is, no wonder, it does not look like someone who can draw that kind of cartoon, if you find a gunman, then it makes sense.
A while later, Editor Qian returned, and the wine and food began to serve.
“Everyone eat first, I’m still hungry now.” An Yinong rubbed his stomach, looking like he was going to have a big meal.
This was different from the ‘little boss’ that Qian Editor usually saw, she was scared to death and tried to stay calm, attempting to put on the illusion of being ‘smart and capable’.
But these people’s attention was not on her at all.
The middle-aged man gave a wink to one of them, and the man took out a printed sheet of paper: “Our company has taken a fancy to your comic and wants to make a movie out of it. Make a movie, do you want to see it?”
“Making a movie, of course, I want to see it. But do you want to order it today? I have to ask my daddy and mommy about this.” An Yinong hesitated to play the role of a young master raised in a greenhouse, indecisive.
“No, young master, do you think we are here to play house with you?” A punk slapped the table and approached, startling An Yinong.
“You, you, you, calm down, what do you want?”
“Eh! We’re talking business, don’t fight and kill.” The middle-aged man falsely grabbed the young man, and he looked at An Yinong again, “What about your sign earlier, we cooperate earlier, you also return home earlier, okay?”
An Yinong looked frightened, he picked up the ‘contract’ with trembling hands, and suddenly, his eyes lit up: “The royalty is 100,000? Really?”
They looked at each other and laughed: “Really, you sign it, 100,000 will be paid immediately.”
Said a pen was placed in front of An Yinong: “Sign it.”
“But I ……” he picked up the ‘contract’, “Can I look at it again? I want to ……”
He had not finished speaking, a gun on An Yinong’s forehead, the red-haired young man covered with fleas full of impatience: “I hate your kind of dilly-dallying people, sign or not?”
Editor QIan’s heart rose to his throat and almost jumped out.
“Calm down, you calm down.” An Yinong face with cold sweat, the look is afraid and goose, “I sign, I sign still can not?”
As a result, the muzzle of the gun knocked on his head again: “What are you waiting for? Sign.”
An Yinong’s hand reached over and was about to take the pen.
“Bang!” The door was kicked open with a bang.
The people in the box froze for a moment, not yet reacting, but it was too late, An Yinong reached out in the direction of a change, and he grabbed the gun against his head directly away, a backhand twist to seize the pistol. He then grabbed the edge of the table with both hands and overturned the table in the direction of those people.
A time of vegetable soup flew.
“Get out of here.” Editor Qian was too scared to move and was grabbed by An Yinong’s arm and rushed toward the door.
Qian editor was pushed out of the door first, then An Yinong himself crossed out: “Be careful, they have guns.”
“Yes, young master.” The bodyguards who finally arrived at the door also took out their weapons, sending An Yinong and the stunned Qian editor out the door while rushing in.
The bodyguards hired by the He family are all of the real levels and have thick protective clothing, this group of people was taken down in just one look, and the bodyguards retrieved three pistols and some knives from them.
Editor Qian looked at these things in a moment of fear.
On the contrary, An Yinong drew out his handkerchief and took these pistols, and looked at them before putting them down.
“Immortal jump, huh? Playing house with me, huh?” He looked at the middle-aged man with a smirk.
Although he was also smiling, his look was completely different from just now. If the middle-aged man had seen this smiling face of his before, he would not have dropped the ball like this anyway, being dragged by a table of drinks for ten minutes, and finally caught in the act.
“Who the hell are you?” The middle-aged man asked, wanting to die with a clear conscience.
“The owner of the magazine publishing house, don’t you know?” An Yinong spread his hands, “I heard that someone was looking at the movie rights of our resident cartoonist, so I came to take a look.”
“You’re a He family?” The middle-aged man finally figured it out, “You’re shading me?”
“You? If you had sincerely come over to talk about the rights, I would have sincerely entertained you, but unfortunately, ah, the opportunity was not seized.”
An Yinong sat down on a clean stool and held the ‘contract’: “One hundred thousand? I’m afraid that the final amount to my hand is not even 10,000. No, looking at your behavior, I guess you are not prepared to give money at all. But when you report the income and expenditure, you will report it as 100,000. Isn’t that right?”
The middle-aged man didn’t say anything, but his expression said it all: yes, that’s what they thought and did.
This is also the basic way these triads make money from movies, pointing guns at contributors, writers, famous actors, directors, etc., and making them work voluntarily, but with a large amount of salary written on the contract.
At the end of the day, it is a zero-cost movie that reaps most of the box office revenue.
In addition, they also laundered money through the box office, half a million box office blown into a million, so there is half a million of black money so cleanly washed and can be taken out.
Wonderful, really wonderful.
“Recently a lot of new comic books,” the “desert” although the popularity is not bad, in the end, is only a new comic, the reader base is not enough, from the point of view of film and television, of course, or choose others at least heard of the old comics more appropriate. So, this book, who reminded you to buy the copyright?”
An Yinong asked again.
The middle-aged man just looked at him contemptuously, as if to say: ask whatever you want, I’m ‘iron-clad’ and won’t betray the organization.
“Fine, you don’t say it, you don’t say it, even if it’s on the boss behind you. As for you guys, so want to eat jail time, then go eat jail time ah.”
An Yinong was too lazy to say more, he stood up: “Illegal gun possession, blackmail, threat …… call the police.”
Soon, these people were escorted away. Editor Qian has a face of shame: “It’s all because I did not investigate clearly.” It turned out that it was the small boss, who was five or six years younger than her age, who stepped in to set things right.
“It’s not your problem if you have a heart. I’ll have someone send you home first, go back to drink a cup of hot tea, and sleep, and the matter will be over. After that, I’ll handle it, don’t worry, these people can’t get out.”
It was not until she sat in the car that Editor Qian reacted to the fact that the words of the small boss were to comfort her and not to worry about these people coming out to harass her. Moreover, just now he was also the first to push her to the door.
“Well ……” she covered her heart: what to do, even if the little boss is so much smaller, she still feels so handsome, so secure, and so considerate.
So many bodyguards were deployed, and finally, the police had to be called, such a big thing, An Yinong could not hide it even if he wanted to. Almost as soon as he got home, he met the tearful mother of the original owner and the father of the original owner who was so nervous that he kept spinning around.
“Are you all right, A Tong?” Li Yufeng ran over and pulled him around to make sure he was okay before wiping her tears and saying, “You’re scaring mommy to death.”
He Chengjue also ran over, “I heard it was because of the publishing house, what was it?”
“A group of people wanted to do a fairy jump, but I caught them, to prevent them from jumping to the wall, I let the bodyguard come. If there was something wrong, do you think I would still be so calm?”
This is true, An Yinong looked like a person who is fine, better than anyone else.
“Dad you didn’t tell grandpa and the others, right? I’m really fine, don’t scare grandpa.”
He Chengjue shook his head: “I heard the news and came straight over, I haven’t told your grandfather. Next time don’t mess around, take bodyguards with you when you go out in the future, people outside are very bad.”
“Okay, got it.”
“An immortal jump, to ensure their safety is the most important ah.” Li Yufeng hugged her son, “If he wants money, give him money, do not gamble with your safety, think about your dad and me, okay?”
“Got it, mommy.” The usual thick-skinned An Yinong rare a trace of at a loss, he is a little unaccustomed to elders so close, and some indescribable like – the original have parents to hold, is this feeling ah.
Because of this little accident, the original owner’s parents, who were already sick of each other, stayed and stayed in his cottage for two days. After determining that An Yinong did not have any problems, Li Yufeng left first because of work, and He Chengji remained.
His whole body was lost in thought.
“You want a divorce yourself.” An Yinong reminded him.
“I know, but your mommy, is the only person I’ve ever worked for in my life as a wanderer, you don’t understand.” He Chengjue sullenly ran off to drink.
An Yinong helplessly spread his hands: he does not understand this kind of sea king’s mood.
“By the way, there is one more thing.” Run far away He Chengjue ran back, “When will you come back to life? Now that your mommy and I are divorced and the tabloids have died down, you live here alone, I’m not at ease.”
An Yinong was a bit strange: “You are not comfortable living there alone?”
“Not really.” He Chengji thought about it, is quite a large villa community, but not many people live there, let people hairy.
“I’m fine here, let’s wait for a while.” An Yinong refused, he was living here well, what was he going back for? To enjoy the navy-style decoration style in the room?
Chapter 124
Later, An Yinong also went to the police station, and those four people confessed, they are members of a certain gang, the top gave the order, and let them come to ‘buy’ the copyright.
Because there was no other evidence, they could not do anything about the gang, but those few little yakuza were sentenced to a few years of a hard time.
After two days, I heard that these people were inside with broken arms and legs, very miserable.
An Yinong looked at He Chengjue, who also looked bewildered.
“Coincidence, right?”
Consider it a coincidence, anyway, they can not get out this time, how about a few years later …… then the ICAC has matured, black-and-white collusion is less, and the black forces are even arrogant, but also dare not be so blatant.
The black forces in Hong Kong are so arrogant, An Yinong took the opportunity to request to learn to shoot, the gun of course is not the best thing to encounter, but in case of an encounter, they have a little self-protection ability always better.
He Chengjue could not grind him, could only agree, and drove him to a shooting gallery, which has all kinds of guns.
This is a formal shooting gallery, go in have to register your identity. When An Yinong came in there were several people inside, looking like regulars, wearing anti-noise headphones, and holding guns with both hands to shoot fixed targets.
The owner of the shooting gallery is He Chengjue’s friend, who personally came to receive them.
“Children just contact shooting, you can try this Beretta pistol, high accuracy, you can add a scope.”
He said some of the advantages of this pistol, then unloaded the bullets and handed the gun to An Yinong.
Heavy pressure, An Yinong takes a closer look, the shape is full of smooth and hard industrial sense.
“Do you want to try?”
An Yinong nodded his head.
He Chengjue was quite worried about his son being scared by the recoil of the gun, as for the achievement, the first time to hold a gun, what achievement is required?
What I didn’t expect was that after only one afternoon, An Yinong had adapted to the recoil of the gun and improved his score from off-target to steady on the fixed target, that is, he could also shoot on the edge of the moving target.
“Your son has a lot of potential ah, have you ever thought of becoming a police officer.” The owner of the shooting gallery couldn’t help but say.
As a retired criminal police officer, he was pleased to see the hunt: this child’s mental quality is not generally good, the hand is also particularly stable, but also in time to adjust the angle deviation of the grip gun. Most importantly, his dynamic vision is also stronger than normal, moving targets on the hand, is simply a natural shooter.
“Are you kidding? My son won’t do such a dangerous job.” He Chengjue was afraid that An Yinong would become interested in this matter and hurriedly stopped, “You want to be a cartoonist in the future, right A Tong?”
“Yes, but I think shooting is also great, can you come over more often in the future?” An Yinong couldn’t get enough of the gun in his hand, he missed the days when he practiced bow and arrow in his previous life and also liked this kind of shooting sport with the smell of smoke
“Yes.” The shooting gallery boss said directly, “I’ll give you a VIP.”
On the way back He Chengjue still has been very worried, An Yinong raised his hand to ensure that he will not go to do dangerous work, also will not let themselves into a dangerous situation, he only felt at ease.
An Yinong looked at He Chengjue’s worried nagging look, did not feel annoyed, but rather a kind of indescribable pleasure. He thought of his teacher, and the teacher rambled to him, is not the way parents to children?
But at the same time, An Yinong also had the wonderful guilt of stealing someone else’s parents: “If they had left me alone, I might have been a little more open.”
The good thing is that after this incident He Chengjue returned to his flirtatious nature, An Yinong could not see him all day and did not receive any more calls from the original mother, he was a little lost but more than that, he was severely relieved.
At this time, because a few minions went in and were severely warned by Zhen Weilong is angry to slam a glass: “How will the publisher for him to stand up? The copyright is not even in the hands of the publisher, is He sick in the head?”
The more he thought about it, the angrier Zhen Weilong became. He could think of this trick because he had been held at gunpoint like this before and had the rights to two comics taken away for nothing. Why is it that he is so miserable and ‘Yinong’ can avoid it?
“Count him lucky to have escaped. However, don’t think I’ll stop there.”
Even if the one-shot was pressed one head by ‘Desert’, the new manga was still pressed one head by ‘Spiritual Girl’, if he continues he will be kicked out of the annual ranking, then his career and reputation will be damaged, what should he do?
Zhen Weilong thought of a person, a person who has a huge fan base overseas and is also very prestigious in the manga circle. And this person is used to looking down on women and martial arts comics, if we can invite this person out ……
But how to invite him?
An Yinong knew that someone was targeting ‘Yinong’, but he couldn’t keep an eye on it since this person didn’t run out and make trouble. Now he has more important things to do, such as the income from his first single book has arrived, what to use it for?
“It’s true that the royalties from a single book are the bulk of the income.” An Yinong looked at the royalties in hand and smiled like a well-fed cat.
It was a stack of 100 yuan bills, although he was not bad, he earned it himself, and others gave it, the feeling is completely different.
Of course, for what he wants to do in the future, this amount of money is still too little.
An Yinong not only wants to publish a single line, but also wants to be published overseas, and wants to film and television. The manga into an animated film, to let more people see it. And this, need people, need money.
The joy of making money needed someone to share it with, but no one else even knew about his manga drawing, so in the end, this was something he just talked to X about.
“People’s desire is endless, just to be able to publish a single book, I began to think again, about how good it would be to make an animation. Maybe if I did animate, I would have other desires to be satisfied. Restraint, restraint. –H”
At this time, Mr. Xie had just finished dealing with the ‘Famous Teachers Take Home’ tutorial tapes when he received a letter from the parrot, and a smile appeared on his face as he remembered the extremely well-sold ‘The Desert’.
The president of ‘The Way of the Chivalry’ had just called, and he had managed to inquire about ‘Yinong’s’ true identity and address, and had applied to Mr. Xie for a housing allowance for poaching, which showed the success of ‘Yinong’.
“If people did not have the desire to aspire to a better life, then we would still be sitting in a cave eating raw meat at this moment. As long as you don’t indulge yourself, the existence of desire is a good thing and will make you a better person. –X”
An Yinong in the light looked at the note, the handwriting on it was dragon-like, it seemed that Mr. X was in a good mood, had he met something good?
He sent his doubts back, Mr. Xie was a little surprised, could his mood be seen through the handwriting? Or was it because child H was paying special attention to him that he noticed?
This feeling of being noticed and needed made him feel a little impulsive.
“Because of dear H’s reminder, I decided to launch a kind of study tape for tutoring. –X.”
The parrot flew out with the letter, and Mr. Xie stood up and paced around the room. In a few days, the school would start, the tapes would be on sale, and when ‘they’ appeared on the market, Dear H would know who he was.
Mr. Xie used to be direct in his actions, leaving no room for error and even indirectly causing several companies to go bankrupt, hence his poor reputation. Moreover, Mr. Xie had targeted the He family before, especially in the publishing piece. At this moment he was a little apprehensive: what will he do, will he refuse to deal with himself because of this?
If he had known this, he would have given his opponents some leeway in the past.
An Yinong did not know the apprehension of his friends over there, he joked: “Really? Then can I charge a little royalty? –H”
“If you want, you can charge half of the royalty. –X”
“I’m kidding. What kind of tutorial tape is it? –H”
An Yinong remembered those English cassettes that came with the textbooks, and with the development of technology, they would also evolve into discs and app QR codes.
“The tapes with detailed explanations and extended knowledge points are recorded by famous tutors who are invited to record from the textbooks and workbooks. –X”
Huh? Isn’t that the popular latter-day version of the famous tutor invited home to tape? Wow, what business acumen, parents, in general, can’t resist the lure of ‘famous teachers invited home’, this could be a big seller.
“Sounds good, the savior of the school dregs. You’re going to make it! Too bad I can’t celebrate for you. How about I order a song for you on the radio? What’s your favorite song? –H”
“No particular song I like, maybe when we meet, I can find ……” Writing here, Xie stopped his pen: if H didn’t want to meet, it was rather embarrassing for him to say that.
He tore off this one and rewrote: “Thoughts received, but unfortunately no particular favorite song. –X.”
The parrot flies away with the letter.
Mr. Xie sat on the chair and watched the flying parrot there are many things, but he did not want to move.
He was thinking about one thing, how to improve his reputation as fast as possible, and wondered if it would be okay to donate money to charity organizations.
He waited and waited and waited until the evening when the parrot flew back and also brought back the letter:
“Just now ‘thank you’ and I complained, these months flying around, it has run thin. In order not to let the people of the Parrot Protection Association accuse us of mistreating it, do you want to meet ah? I’ll celebrate with you in person then. –H”
“Want to meet?” Mr. Xie faced with millions of orders are not changing face, see this small note but the whole person is not right up, surprisingly a little nervous.
“I’m not ready yet.” He thought, and could not help but straighten his back, although he was exactly when he was rich and strong, but is it still slightly too big for a person who is still in high school?
“Suddenly said to meet …… just encountered the kind of stomach-churning ‘yin and yang contract’, he is not afraid that I am an evil person? How can a little vigilance not work?”
But Xie couldn’t help but be happy again.
Looking at the pressed not much thin, but more and more plump parrot, Mr. Xie can not help but think: “He is not want to meet with me, want to long contact, so find such a reason.”
“Chirp.” The parrot squawked twice.
Fortunately, Mr. Xie could not understand the parrot’s ‘heartfelt voice’, otherwise he would have been surprised to find that the parrot was scolding him for using the parrot as a pigeon, inhumane, and delaying it from finding another bird to build a nest and lay eggs.
The more voluptuous the body shape? The birds are fat!
“Looking forward to it for a long time, I’m always available. –X”
An Yinong looked at the freckled handwriting on it and couldn’t help but smile, not just because of the parrot’s complaint, but also because they had known each other for so long that he felt X was a friendly person and wanted to meet.
“How about the weekend? I don’t think you work on weekends, right? –H”
“Good. –X.”
