After Zhao Chen returned home, he went straight under the bed. When he took away the bricks placed in the corner, he saw the document bag below and breathed a sigh of relief. In order to guard against the thief, he specially hid the manuscript here and covered it with a few bricks. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy at this time.

Zhao Chen put the stolen manuscript paper into the document bag and drilled it out, then took out the two checks on his body. Instead of continuing to write, he lay on the bed and stared blankly at the two checks that totaled 50,000 yuan.

"Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars, it's really useless! I can get the manuscript fee for the comic tomorrow, which is almost 30,000! Alas, why is the bank card not popular? What should I invest in?"

Zhao Chen touched his forehead and thought hard, and took out the major historical events in Xiangjiang that he knew, but he could not find any incidents about finance in 1979. He was really confused about the history of Xiangjiang and had only read them from newspapers or news media.

"Although the stock market in Xiangjiang has been very strong in recent years, it's a pity that the capital is too small. It seems that the money is still used to start a company."

There is a newspaper picture in Zhao Chen's mind, which is a summary of Xiangjiang's historical finance. In recent years, the stock market in Xiangjiang can be said to be very powerful. It only takes two or three years to double the stock market value. Unfortunately, Zhao Chen's capital is too small.

The next day, Zhao Chen got up early one morning. After exercising, he put the manuscript paper of the week in a briefcase and wrapped it towards the bus stop.

Outside the bus stop, Zhao Chen couldn't help but stop, looking at the newspapers in front of him, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Whether it was Ming Pao or Good News Magazine, sales have increased day by day in these days. The reason for this situation is mainly due to the previous continuous hype.

For Zhao Chen, the more newspapers or magazines are sold, the better, which will quickly increase his fame. Moreover, with enough manuscripts or novels, they can directly publish a single book.

Single-line books are often the big part of a cartoonist's profit. As for the royalties, go to hell. Unless you can't lose the single-line books, the royalties will always be the smallest part.

Of course, single-line books are not necessarily the big part of the income, because the income of many classic comics far exceeds the income of single-line books. Here we have to mention "Pokemon", which has always had the highest overall value, whether it is games, stickers, toys, muttons or even calendars, which far exceeds the share of single-line books. Not just "Pokemon", many classic comics also have peripheral income exceeding single-line books, such as "Gundam" model, "Oh-Gi-Oh card", etc.

But unfortunately, "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is just a Hong Kong comic, and the surrounding areas of Hong Kong comics have always been very low. The most-paid ones in the surrounding areas should belong to the various weapon models in "Fengyun"! As for the weapon models in "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", it is much worse. The swords of Kou Zhong's Jing Zhongyue and the Tiandao Song Que sold well, and the rest of the weapon models are almost all sad and frustrating. According to enthusiasts, the shapes of these swords in "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" are not bad, and even the other ones are Ba Fenghan's Zhan Xuanjian look very ordinary. The reason why the weapon models in "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" are so good is because the shapes of the weapons inside are quite good.

As soon as Zhao Chen entered the Holy Fire Publishing House, he saw Ma Rongcheng constantly put some items on his desk into a cardboard box. Zhao Chen was a little puzzled.

"Master, strange, what's wrong with you?" Although Zhao Chen and Ma Rongcheng seem to be ordinary, Ma Rongcheng is his temporary assistant after all, Zhao Chen had to ask with concern, and this Master is the name he calls him.

"Oh, of course I'm packing up my things and leaving!"

Ma Rongcheng looked up at Zhao Chen, and then said something that made Zhao Chen quite puzzled. If Ma Rongcheng left, can Niu Lao complete the massive number of assistant tasks alone!

"It's not because I've given you too much work, right?"

"It's not the reason. Since I promised you at that time, I will definitely complete it! This time I left mainly because I wanted to increase the royalties, but the two bosses never added it to me. Are you angry? Uncle Shangguan is really nice to me, but I can't see the future at all here."

As Ma Rongcheng said, he stopped the movements in his hand, with a little confused look in his eyes. Now he is just a not-famous ordinary cartoonist, and it is indeed difficult to get a satisfactory royalty.

After hearing this, Zhao Chen began to fall into deep thought. In fact, since he learned that Ma Rongcheng is here, he knew that he would not stay here for long, because according to the future, the "Chinese Heroes" he created in 1980 was published on Yulang's organization.

"Master, have you found a comic company that you like?"

Ma Rongcheng smiled bitterly. He is now a very ordinary cartoonist. How could there be other comic companies who come to poach him? All he can do is apply for jobs in various comic companies.

"No! I'm going to try it at Yulang International Co., Ltd. in a few days!"

"It's true!" Zhao Chen couldn't help but think in his heart that although Yulang International Co., Ltd. is a start-up, due to Huang Yulang's reputation, it has developed quite well in the past few months. It is reasonable that Ma Rongcheng was the first to want to go there.

"Ma'er, don't you think this is too hasty? Yulang International Co., Ltd. has only been invented for less than three months. And you may not know that the place where I submitted the "Biographies of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was at the beginning, but you also saw it. I finally came here! Their editor-in-chief's vision is far inferior to Uncle Shangguan. If you go like this, you may not be able to make a comeback even if you join!"

Under Zhao Chen's trick of setting an example, Ma Rongcheng's eyes, which were originally a little firm, floated up again. As Zhao Chen's temporary assistant, he naturally knew the excellence of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". He was first-class in terms of painting, plot, characters, etc., but even such a work, Yulang International Co., Ltd., would actually take a look. That is, Ma Rongcheng gave up a little about Yulang International Co., Ltd.

"What do you think Zhao Chen do? There are only a few comic companies in Xiangjiang. Can you go there if you don't go there?"

As Ma Rongcheng said, although Xiangjiang comics are very popular now, there are not many comic companies, only a few big cats and kittens. Except for Shenghuo Publishing House and Yulang International Co., Ltd., which are still quite strong, the rest of the comic companies are not even easy to survive, so they naturally cannot develop much.

"I have an idea, but I don't know if you agree?" Zhao Chen thought to himself that the fish had already taken the bait, but he pretended to be meditating on his face.

"Ah, what's the idea?" At this time, Ma Rongcheng could be said to be another village. When he heard Zhao Chen say this, the confusion in his eyes suddenly became much less, and he stared at Zhao Chen with his eyes tightly.

"I am just about to start a comic company. I heard that you have been preparing to create new comics during this period. You can come to me at that time. As long as the quality is good, you will definitely give you a satisfactory manuscript! If the manuscript is not satisfied at that time, you can choose another company!" In order to fool Ma Rongcheng, all Zhao Chen can do is prepare to raise the manuscript.

"This... my head is a little confused. Please let me think about it!" Ma Rongcheng never thought that Zhao Chen would be so brave. If he took a wrong step, he would have to do it again. But he suddenly remembered "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". As long as Zhao Chen's comics do not decline in the future, the sales will definitely not be bad. After all, just a book called "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has made him more than a large number of comic fans and novel fans.

"Ma'er, you can think about this slowly! But let me say first, are you conceiving a long comic? I think it will take a lot of time to conceive! So during this period, you can continue to work here while completing the conception! And with this time as a buffer, you can come to me when the first draft of the comic is completed, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory royalty at that time!"

Zhao Chen really struggled to get Ma Rongcheng. He actually knew very well that in the future, he naturally could not be the only cartoonist like him in comic companies. It is imperative to win over other cartoonists.

"But... but I've just told Uncle Shangguan!" Ma Rongcheng's face changed a few times. Zhao Chen really talked about his heart. The novel he was about to conceive was just structured, and it would take some time to write it. This was not a bad thing for him, but a good thing.

"This is just a small matter, just wrap it around me!" Zhao Chen saw that the fooling was successful and immediately struck while the iron was hot. He didn't expect that the fat meat in his mouth would eventually run into someone else's mouth.

"Okay! Then I will continue to stay here and wait for your good news!" Ma Rongcheng hesitated for a moment, but was finally convinced by Zhao Chen for a while.
