Create a Fantasy World

With the news, go back and report to Nick.

The four people who were still excited suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

This happened at such an inopportune time.

Nick used his own relationship to investigate, and sure enough, as Jarvis said, Stark Enterprises was in trouble.

As a top technology company in the country, and also funded many advanced weapons for the military, Howard's every move will attract major attention.

Some people suspect that he made deals with other countries, which is very serious.

Stark Enterprises is in crisis, which is what Nick and others do not want to see.

At the same time, it also means that the group they formed can come in handy.

"What should we do? Should we act!"

Dugan couldn't wait, smoking a cigar to ask questions.

"It's better for us to split up. You go to investigate, I'm here to deal with those clients, and make comics by the way. Anyway, the company is just a facade, you don't have to worry."

Ji Dong cunningly made a suggestion, and everyone acted separately.

Nick and the others should do whatever they want, and they are responsible for making comics.

This idea won the approval of several people. Anyway, they are not material for comics, and of course they are happy to be agents.

Nick nodded, indicating that the burden here will be handed over to you.

In addition, Ji Dong was asked not to force himself, to draw comics if he could, and don't let himself be burdened.

"Burden! How come?"

Ji Dong pretended to show a wry smile, but in fact he was beautiful in his heart!

I want to create the glorious history of Meiman by myself, so I ask you if you are afraid?

So as planned, Carter went to contact Jarvis and was accompanied by Dugan to investigate Howard's injustice.

As for Nick, he went to investigate the information and was responsible for support.

Lin Yi stayed to guard the base camp, and by the way, he found a newspaper to publish a recruitment notice.

He wants to find some real cartoonists to help him?

Ji Dong has already thought about this matter, he has a story, and the real master is missing.

Taking advantage of the absence of the bosses, the company finally calmed down. Lin Yi called out Xiao Poqiu and searched for the hopeful country in this world. Is there any talent he expects to cooperate with.

Unexpectedly, I found a few incredible people.

Stan Lee's old partner Jack Kirby, a cartoonist named Jacob Kuzberg, was also there at this time, but he hadn't created the comics of the US team, he was just doing illustrations for some novels, and he was a little unsatisfied.

And his other partner, Joe Simon, started writing screenplays for some movies, and also collaborated with Jacob from time to time to create some less popular short comics.

Two middle-aged future cartoon masters, although not as famous as Stan Lee later, are they not doing well in this world?

Ji Dong hoped that they could come over and have dinner together.

So after the recruitment notice was issued, Lin Yi secretly promoted all of this.

Intentionally passing the news to the two of them made Jacob, who was far away, have a different idea.

A comic book company that has just risen, it is so popular after only three issues, and it is the story of Captain America that they have always liked. This is really a rare opportunity.

That night, Jacob called and expressed his desire to join.

This middle-aged man, the future king of American comics, expressed his urgency to create superheroes on the phone. He is definitely talented.

Ji Dong nodded and asked him to bring a piece of work first and come over to have a look.

Unsurprisingly, Jacob arrived at their company that afternoon and took out the illustrations he had drawn for the US team.

This has been carefully planned by him for a long time. After the history of the US team has been integrated into this world, he has long wanted to draw a story about superheroes.

Ji Dong listened to his thoughts,

He nodded from time to time, but said: "So, what do you want for treatment?"

"treatment?"

Jacob was taken aback for a moment, and he was only interested in recommending his own works. He never thought about what kind of treatment he would get if he successfully applied for the job?

"Compared with treatment, I hope to have more control. For example, the direction of the story and the control of the painting style. And, I want to recommend another partner!"

Ji Dong knew that he was talking about Joe Simon, so there was no problem at first, but he was afraid that if he agreed too quickly, it would arouse suspicion.

He could only cross his hands: "To be honest, our company has some problems, and the investors are going to run away. It is estimated that there will be a shortage of funds, but I am very optimistic about the emerging industry of comics, and hope to tide over the difficulties. You guys You can play freely, but I want to say that there are not many resources for you!"

Euphemistically expressing that the conditions are not very good, but in exchange for Jacob's chuckle.

"It's okay, I don't think these are problems. How much can you guarantee to print in one issue?"

"There were only a few hundred copies before, but now, try to have more than a thousand copies."

"I hope to sell more than 10,000 copies soon!"

Jacob said confidently.

Really ambitious.

Ji Dong didn't say anything, so let's wait and see?

The next day he brought Josimon with him.

The three held a meeting together to study the direction of the follow-up plot.

Ji Dong basically couldn't intervene, he was only responsible for controlling the general direction, such as what the two of them were going to do, what would the plot be like?

Follow-up, it is your own business to hand over to the printing house and then distribute it.

After Ji Dong assigned the task, he went to work.

The printing house or something is not a trivial matter to him.

Summon the little broken ball, create a factory building by yourself, and be directly responsible for printing, and the rest will not be difficult.

Of course, the next step is to expand the staff and expand the scale. When it is on track, I can retire with success.

Or, mention it in a follow-up story.

For example, if you need to create the Hulk, give them an idea to draw the Hulk, and if you need to create Thor, you can make up an Asgard story for them. It's so easy!

Lin Yi greeted the two of them to officially join the job, and went out to start doing business by himself, and paid attention to Nick's situation by the way.

Howard's situation does not seem to be good.

Someone wanted to punish him, obviously for the fat meat of Stark Enterprises.

After all, it is a hen that can lay golden eggs, and there are many people who want to use their brains!

But with Nick on board, Ji Dong is not worried.

He had to study how to continue to grow S.H.I.E.L.D. for future business deployment.

For example, Nick's deputy Hill should also play, right?

And his golden follower, the immortal Coulson, should also think about finding an opportunity to integrate into history.

It seems that the only way to solve it is to start from recruiting people.

Lin Yi ran away for a few days and found an abandoned factory in the suburbs, which happened to be converted into a printing factory.

By the way, he also ran all over the newsstands in the city, as well as some relatively large stores and post offices, to promote their new comics.

At the beginning, those people were not too cold, probably because they didn't know the name of this comic, but when they mentioned the new comic that was out of print in the first issue, some people suddenly realized it.

So the attitude changed drastically, and they all asked for more progress.

After selling all the way, tens of thousands of copies were pre-ordered, and the sales were really extraordinary.

Ji Dong went back to tell the two cartoonists the good news, but made them very excited.

That's a good sign.

However, problems also arise.

As the number of comics issued increases, the printing quality must be kept up, and professional salesmen must be responsible for maintaining these outlets.

Otherwise, if there are any disputes or the readers don't respond well, it will be troublesome.

Lin Yi naturally understood, and continued to publish their recruitment notices in newspapers, and at the same time, he also funded the serialization of several short stories.

Both Jack and Joe Simon collaborated to draw a four-panel comic, which was just used for publicity.

money? Ji Dong really has no shortage.

The 100,000 Howard subsidized before is still in the account, so it didn't cost much, so it happened to continue to squander.

He spent a lot of money on advertising, just to increase his popularity in the future, and the next step is to set up the factory.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, I came to the selected factory, summoned the creation suit, squeezed out the appearance of a comic factory, integrated the spiritual thoughts to cultivate it, and sent it out to create success.

After spending four or five hundred points, a physical factory was obtained, with an estimated daily output of tens of thousands of copies.

Of course, it still looks like an abandoned factory from the outside.

Lin Yi paid a thousand dollars to buy it, and it was worth the money.
