Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

Chapter 135 Comic Strips Go to the Countryside

Just when Jiang Weimin was about to return, Gu Bingxin specially gathered a group of old friends to get together.

They also invited Jiang Weimin to share with them his experiences and insights on earning foreign exchange through comic strips.

Everyone sat together and listened with great interest as Jiang Weimin talked about the popular comic drawing techniques abroad and the types of themes that foreigners love.

At the same time, Gu Bingxin arranged for Jiang Weimin to focus on introducing his unique painting style and techniques.

Thanks to the support and recommendation of the respected senior Gu Bingxin, everyone showed a considerable degree of recognition and appreciation for Jiang Weimin's painting style.

Through this exchange activity, Jiang Weimin successfully won wide recognition from his colleagues in the southern painting world, and his reputation and influence continued to increase.

Jiang Weimin then carefully selected and purchased a large number of various exquisite mooncakes in the bustling Shanghai.

Jiang Weimin knew it very well. After all, he was in Shanghai now. If he went back to Qingdao to buy mooncakes as gifts for others, it would seem too deliberate.

After careful consideration, Jiang Weimin finally decided to buy the mooncakes locally in Shanghai, even though this would cost him more trouble.

In addition to the mooncakes purchased by themselves, there are also many gifts carefully prepared by the master's family.

As a result, Jiang Weimin returned with a full load, carrying packages of various sizes in his hands, and embarked on the difficult journey back to Qingdao.

Fortunately, before leaving, he had sent a telegram to the publishing house in advance to inform them of the specific return date.

Therefore, when he got off the passenger ship, he could easily get on the car specially arranged by the publishing house to pick him up.

After arriving at the publishing house, Jiang Weimin distributed the mooncakes he brought back from Shanghai.

Then, he and Liu Shuo picked up the largest bag of mooncakes and walked towards Song Wenqing's office happily.

As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Weimin said with a smile on his face: "President, I'm back! This business trip went very smoothly, and it can be said that I completed the mission successfully!

Moreover, I also brought back some special mooncakes from Shanghai for you!"

Hearing this, Song Wenqing quickly stood up to greet him and responded with a smile: "Oh, Xiao Jiang, you are so thoughtful! I must taste this mooncake carefully.

By the way, please show me your draft. I can’t wait to know how your drawing of “Havoc in Heaven” will turn out!”

Liu Shuo carefully handed the carefully completed drawing to Song Wenqing.

President, I just took a quick look at it, and I have to say that the character drawings are really exquisite! Every detail is handled just right, as if these characters are really alive.

Moreover, all of these paintings adopt the unique painting style of the special forces, making the entire picture full of a tense and exciting atmosphere.

Especially the fighting scenes, which can be described as thrilling and make people's blood boil! "

Just as Song Wenqing reached out to take the comic strip draft, Jiang Weimin on the side quickly seized the opportunity and asked impatiently.

"President, has the equipment needed to print color comics been debugged? I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product soon!"

Song Wenqing didn't even raise his head, his eyes fixed on the draft in his hand. "Well, it's already been debugged. I've contacted the translator. Don't worry! You will definitely be able to see the finished product before the Canton Fair."

"That's good!"

After a while, Song Wenqing finally put down the drawing in his hand and a very satisfied smile appeared on his face.

“Although it is still unclear what foreigners will think of this type of subject matter and style, in my opinion, our domestic readers will definitely love it!

You see, your previous work "Special Forces Beacon in Tai'an" caused a huge sensation as soon as it was released, with pre-orders alone reaching over 200 million copies!

This shows that readers quite appreciate your unique painting technique! Of course, the contribution of storytelling is also indispensable!"

When Jiang Weimin heard that the comic book orders were related to storytelling, he remembered the strategy he had agreed with Song Wenqing before, "President, how are the sales of our storytelling tapes?"

“Over 300 units have been sold!”

Jiang Weimin thought about it. After all, the current way of information transmission still relies on newspapers. "300 sets is not a small number!"

"Yes! Many radio stations were found through newspapers.

And this is all thanks to Xiao Jiang's clever idea of setting up a switchboard operator in the post office!

Otherwise, with so many order calls coming from so many places, we would definitely be overwhelmed and at a loss!

At this rate, Xiao Jiang, I think your idea can bring at least 100 million in net profit to our publishing house every year!"

"President, with such huge profits, Teacher Shan is now the cash cow of our publishing house. You must ensure the welfare benefits for Teacher Shan."

"Don't worry, Tian Fang's salary is not low now!

Every time he recorded a hundred episodes, the publishing house would pay him 500 yuan in recording fees.

And even a quota for housing was given to him.”

"That's good. We must keep Teacher Shan in our publishing house no matter what."

However, in stark contrast to the jubilation of various publishing houses over the success of Pingshu,

People in rural areas who listen to storytelling on the radio are extremely angry at this moment.

Because the storytelling of "Police Dog Attack - The Invisible Man" was suddenly interrupted halfway through, which really made them feel unsatisfied, disappointed and annoyed.

In many villages, when night falls and people finish a day's hard work, they gather together to listen to Shan Tianfang's gripping storytelling.

However, one day, the radio station suddenly stopped broadcasting after one episode and no longer broadcast the subsequent content.

If you want to know who the murderer is, you can buy the comic book first and read it. The subsequent storytelling is being recorded.

Everyone started to complain: "Village chief, please take a look at what's going on with this radio station. Now we are so curious that we have to go read the comic strip to find out who the real murderer is!"

"That's right! Everyone's heart is just like being scratched by a cat, it's itchy and uncomfortable! They are looking forward to finding out who the extremely hateful murderer is!"

"We can't interfere with the decision-making of other radio stations, and we can't control what programs they broadcast!

How about this! Let's ask Sanwazi to go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and see if there is the comic book mentioned in the broadcast.

If we could buy it, we wouldn't have to worry so much! "

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. At that time, the comic book was not available in the supply and marketing cooperative of the commune.

After all, these comic strips are often first sent to major cities to meet the greater demand there.

But fortunately, many supply and marketing cooperatives have gradually realized the needs of the masses and have begun to request supplies from higher authorities.

The reason is that people working in the commune usually have a certain economic strength and can afford to listen to the radio.

In addition, people from many villages under the commune came to ask questions in an endless stream.

This unique way allowed Qingdao Publishing House's comic strips to enter the communes, and even a small part of them successfully entered rural areas.
