Xing Shaohui and Gong Qishui came here to ask about the new book. Tian Shao has not published a new book for a year, and they were both a little anxious.
Tian Shao had long sensed their urgency and asked in confusion: "The sales of the six comics are very stable. Uncle Xing, Editor Gong, what are you worried about?"
Xing Shaohui was silent for a moment and said: "Xiao Shao, you said before that you were thinking of a new book. Can you tell us about the content of the new book?"
Tian Shao did not say anything about the concept of the new book, but asked: "Tell me first, why are you so eager for me to publish a new book?"
When Editor-in-Chief Gong saw that Xing Shaohui had stopped speaking, he could only say it himself: "Boss, no new book has been published since you were injured last year. Now the tabloids are saying that you have exhausted your talents, so it has been so long that no new works have been published. It is also because of these
The remarks have had a great impact on our newspaper. Manager Xing has been under a lot of pressure during this period."
Tian Shao still said the same thing, the six cartoons published in newspapers and periodicals are all stable now, and there is no need to worry about the rumors outside.
Xing Shaohui realized that she did not realize the seriousness of the matter and said directly: "Xiao Shao, you are the core of Shaohua Company. If you have an accident, it will be a devastating blow to the company."
"Uncle Xing, it's not me who's injured! Why are you so anxious?"
Xing Shaohui naturally knew that it was Ling Xiumei who was injured, so he was worried for another reason: "Xiao Shao, I noticed that your focus now does not seem to be on comics."
In the past, every time Tian Shao came to Hong Kong City, he would meet him on the day of arrival, but this time, it took five days and he still hadn't seen him. There was no new work released in another year. He believed that Tian Shao was very busy, but he was so busy.
It's impossible not to release a new work in a year. The only explanation is that Tian Shao's energy is currently focused on other things.
Tian Shao had to admit that Xing Shaohui was indeed very keen. She said: "I will graduate next year. The first two years were too tiring. I didn't want to die suddenly at a young age. So I slowed down my pace this year."
Such high-intensity work was sustained by love and responsibility in the first two years. Now that the company is on the right track, Tian Shao is no longer willing to work so hard. Life is his own, and his health is even more so, so he should take it easy.
Xing Shaohui was silent for a moment and said: "Xiao Shao, I hope your new book will be out on New Year's Day."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "The new book has actually been finalized, and the previous plot has been written. I originally planned to publish it after next year. But you can insist on publishing it on New Year's Day."
Gong Qishui immediately asked: "Boss, do you know what the new book is about?"
Tian Shao said: "This is a story about a sailing adventure in search of treasure."
Then she briefly talked about the content of the story. She had been recalling the plot of this anime since last year, and all the plots she had seen had been written down in order. The team would then think about the ones that she had not seen and finish them if it didn't work.
alright.
Although they are all adventure themes, the story sounds very interesting, and Gong Qishui wants to see the drawing.
Tian Shao found a picture she had drawn in the past few days. She explained: "Because I plan to publish this book after the New Year, I didn't bring any other information with me. If it is published on New Year's Day, I will start painting it when I get back."
However, Xing Shaohui came up with an idea and said: "Xiao Shao, the cartoon you just drew is indeed very interesting, but it is also an adventure theme and there is no problem in publishing it later. Xiao Shao, have you noticed that you have drawn so many cartoons but not one of them?
This is a comic that focuses on love. Xiaoshao, would you like to see if you can publish a comic that focuses on love?"
Tian Shao thought for a moment and said: "I can draw comics with the theme of love, but I don't like love that is too heavy. I can only draw light and humorous comics, and they are short stories."
Relaxed and joyful love can only be short stories. If it is too long, readers will suffer from aesthetic fatigue later on.
As long as Tian Shao is willing to start painting, Xing Shaohui has no objection.
After talking about his new work, Tian Shao looked at Gong Qishui and said: "I was at school and saw my classmates playing basketball, tennis and various other sports. I think we can also draw a comic with a technical theme."
Gong Qishui was used to the themes of martial arts gangs. When he heard this, he frowned and said, "I don't think anyone will read competitive comics."
Tian Shao felt that his idea was too one-sided and said: "There are no unpopular themes, only cartoonists who don't know how to do it. Editor Gong, I think you can organize an essay competition, and maybe there will be outstanding works."
With the improvement of living standards, various sports such as basketball, football, and tennis will become more active. There are many people who like them, and various competitions are born.
Gong Qishui found it difficult, but he still agreed when Tian Shao suggested it.
After dinner, Gong Qishui went back, but Xing Shaohui stayed to talk to Tian Shao about the company's operating conditions these days. The company's income is stable, but various expenses have increased.
Tian Shao looked at various expenses and found that except for the increase in entertainment expenses and travel expenses, there were no other changes. She said: "Ask the accountant to list the entertainment expenses and travel expenses for the past two years, and send them to me after they are ready.
Down."
Xing Shaohui struggled for a while and said: "As the company's losses have increased, I have more entertainment than before, and entertainment expenses are much more than before. It is just travel expenses. The company's employees rarely go on business trips."
Tian Shao hummed and said, "Check everything carefully! Uncle Xing, at the moment we still need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."
Xing Shaohui agreed and then asked: "Xiao Shao, the house in Jingding Garden is quite good. When you get the money next year, you can buy it and save money on moving."
Tian Shao said with a smile: "I have already bought this house. I paid the money in the morning and am waiting for the transfer. The room over there is so spacious. We can go to the study to talk when Uncle Xing comes again."
Knowing that Tian Shao had made money by stock trading, Xing Shaohui praised: "The stock market has been really good in the past two years, but it's even more rare to not be greedy when you make money."
He also trades in stocks and made almost twice as much money last year, so he is very contented.
Tian Shao explained what Ling Su had done that day, and then said: "Uncle Xing, if anyone asks, just tell me that this house is rented, and I paid for it myself. This will prevent others from attacking me and saying that I am extravagant.
"
Xing Shaohui nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Xiao Shao, I really wronged you."
Tian Shao felt that there was no grievance, and she said: "The superiors support me. I want people to give me things. But the income gap between the mainland and the Hong Kong city is so big that some people will inevitably feel unbalanced."
Compared with the money earned in the stock market and futures market, the dividends from comic companies are just that. And her previous purpose was to come to Hong Kong to trade stocks. She was lucky and got enough capital in the futures market.
