Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 75 Take what you need
Under the neon lights, the streets of Mong Kok.

The scorching heat has not yet dissipated. Huang Yulang was wearing a floral shirt, a big gold chain and a big gold watch. He was eating on the stove, and he didn't know whether he was hot or not.

Anyway, there are quite few people in the store. After all, it’s a hot day and I don’t sit in an air-conditioned room. I feel a little sick!

Shangguan Xiaobao, who was sitting opposite him, was relatively normal. He was wearing a gray striped Polo shirt, but he was sweating profusely. Huang Yulang looked hotter.

"Brother Xiaobao, give it a try. This beef louver is cooked just right. It's my favorite dish. If I wait a few more minutes, it won't taste good anymore!"

While he was talking, he saw Huang Yulang adding another piece of beef louver from the pot, blowing on it and stuffing it directly into his mouth.

(Friendly reminder, eating hot food like this can easily increase the risk of esophageal cancer, please do not imitate it!)
Shangguan Xiaobao was 5 years older than Huang Yulang, but he looked younger than Huang Yulang. At this time, he was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and turned a deaf ear to Huang Yulang's invitation.

"My "Good News" can still hold on!"

Hearing this, Huang Yulang put his chopsticks on the table with some disappointment, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"Even if we can persevere, does it make sense? Today, the sales volume of our two newspapers combined is not as high as that of "Two-dimensional". If it is just a weekly, it would be nothing. Nowadays, three comics a week, the Li brothers obviously They plan to kill everyone and swallow up the entire comics industry in Hong Kong Island, leaving you and me without even a mouthful of soup!"

Huang Yulang's words were said with sincerity and sincerity, but Shangguan Xiaobao didn't believe a word of it!
He had been fighting Huang Yulang for nearly ten years, and he knew exactly what the man in front of him looked like.

Cooperation will benefit both sides, but fighting will hurt both. In the final analysis, he is just greedy for his own "Bruce Lee". He wants to build a memorial arch when he is a cousin, which is despicable!
Last month, when Huang Yulang made an appointment with him, Shangguan Xiaobao had a hunch that this guy was here to win over him, but he didn't expect that what he proposed was actually a merger!

It is true that his "Good News" life has been difficult in the past two years, but Shangguan Xiaobao is not willing to let the other party swallow him up so easily.

We have been fighting for so long, why should I let you swallow me up in one bite?
"This is my life's work!"

Shangguan Xiaobao thought about it for a long time and finally said this.

However, to Huang Yulang's ears, these words meant nothing more than "more money is needed", and he was immediately reassured.

After more than half a month of persuasion and unremitting efforts, he finally got Shangguan Xiaobao's nod.

It looked so much like a licking dog, and at the end, the goddess finally said "Are you there?"

This was Huang Yulang's last resort.

If he had the chance, he really wanted to break Li Wannian's hand, but unfortunately he could only think about it because he was afraid of breaking it.

Apart from this path, the only way Huang Yulang could think of was to win over Shangguan Xiaobao and merge them.

Although Huang Yulang believes that even if the two of them merge, they may not be Li Wannian's opponent, but at least they will be much stronger than them fighting alone.

Shangguan Xiaobao's situation now is far worse than in the original time and space.

Newspaper sales dropped sharply, and the company lost a lot of staff. Although it was still ranked third in Hong Kong Island relying on "Bruce Lee", it was already far behind the first or two.

Therefore, the merger of the two was three years earlier than the original time and space.

"Of course I know that this is your hard work, Brother Xiaobao, so what I'm talking to you about is cooperation, not acquisition!"

"What kind of cooperation law?" "You can set up a department of your own to be responsible for "Bruce Lee". I won't interfere. This part of the money will also belong to you! I only want the name!"

It has to be said that Huang Yulang's conditions are really generous. It is equivalent to asking Shangguan Xiaobao to divide his own company into one party and obey the instructions but not the announcement.

Of course Huang Yulang did this because he was not kind-hearted.

But he knows very well how valuable the IP of "Bruce Lee" is, and it can be said that it is no less valuable than his own "Dragon and Tiger Gate", so he does not dare to push Shangguan Xiaobao too hard.

Although Huang Yulang likes tight ones!
All he needs is for the "Bruce Lee" IP to be added to his Yulang Company, even in name only.

In this way, his company will be officially established, reorganized and set sail.

Because DreamWorks Zhuyu was in front of him, Huang Yulang saw that it was possible to form a formal company by relying on comics.

The former grass-roots team of his company obviously could not meet his needs. Relying on the wealth he had accumulated before, Huang Yulang was ready to follow the footsteps of DreamWorks and make his company move towards formalization.

You can even rely on this reputation to defraud investors of their money. Thinking about this, there is a way to make more money than drawing comics!
From now on, I will be the real Mr. Huang!
"I have one more condition!"

"you say!"

The conditions he gave were generous enough, but Shangguan Xiaobao actually asked for more conditions. Huang Yulang felt a little dissatisfied and felt that the other party was too greedy. However, he had no choice but to continue chatting with him because he really needed him at the moment. .

"Add a time limit, just...five years! The cooperation period is five years!"

Obviously Shangguan Xiaobao doesn't want to be reduced to Huang Yulang's wage earner all his life, and he still has the idea of ​​​​making a comeback in his heart.

"Okay, no problem!"

However, Huang Yulang did not reveal Shangguan Xiaobao's thoughts. All he wanted was Shangguan Xiaobao's fame. If his company really set sail in five years, it would not matter whether there was "Bruce Lee" or not. , and if you still need "Bruce Lee" to rely on, then your company will have no meaning in existing.

"In that case, I agree!"

"Hahaha, happy cooperation!"

Seeing that the big thing was settled, Huang Yulang laughed heartily, and you could even see his back molars, showing that he was really happy.

Huang Yulang stood up and stretched out his right hand towards Shangguan Xiaobao, and the latter reacted instantly and also stretched out his hand, and the two held hands together.

Although it's a collaboration where everyone gets what they need, two of the most famous comics in Hong Kong comics, "Bruce Lee" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" finally came together.

"I'm afraid it's not enough for our two families alone? The Li family now even has a TV station, and it's even more powerful for publicity!"

"Don't worry, we are not the only ones who are fed up with them. He has a TV station. Although we don't have one, we can still cooperate!"

Shangguan Xiaobao looked at Huang Yulang's smile, but he was thinking: This guy has actually reached a cooperation with the TV station?I just don’t know which TV station it is?Wireless or Lithium?
