"Kuang Dongyuan? Shangguan Xiaobao? It turns out that he is Shangguan Xiaobao who is as famous as Huang Yulang! A godfather-level figure in Xiangjiang comics!" Zhao Chen widened his eyes. How could he not know Shangguan Xiaobao, who had been an assistant to a cartoonist? Isn't this the cartoonist who painted "Bruce Lee"? As for the Holy Fire Publishing House, he has never heard of it, because there was no Holy Fire Publishing House at that time.

Zhao Chen quickly concealed his excitement. He suddenly felt that his luck was so good that he could hit a big shot even if he hit someone.

"Then I'd better call you Uncle Shangguan. You can call me Zhao Chen. I wonder what kind of reward Uncle Shangguan can give?"

Shangguan Xiaobao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I can pay up to 80 yuan per page, which is the highest price for newcomers at present; as for the future if a single book is issued, it will be divided by 7%. What do you think?"

Zhao Chen's eyes lit up. Shangguan Xiaobao was really honest and gave an unexpected price when he spoke. How could he not be happy? However, the price should be discussed carefully and strive to gain more benefits for himself.

However, if Shangguan Xiaobao knew that Zhao Chen was several times faster than other cartoonists, he would not know what he would think.

Zhao Chen has some experience in this kind of thing, and Shangguan Xiaobao is naturally not to be outdone. The two kept arguing with each other. The scene seemed to be cursing and each of them had their own reasons. Zhao Chen was naturally talking about his own advantages of painting skills, while Shangguan Xiaobao just pulled out the reason why he was not impressed enough at the beginning.

In the end, before the two of them finished the talk, the manager of the restaurant hurriedly came out of the kitchen under the guidance of his friend.

"You two can calm down and say something!"

"Uh!" When Zhao Chen and Shangguan Xiaobao saw the store manager say this, they realized that the dispute between the two seemed too intense. They couldn't help but look at each other with awkward smile on their faces. This is really a misunderstanding!

"Boss, you misunderstood us. We are just discussing a problem. Each has its own reasons, and no one convinces anyone! Just think we are practicing wine punches!" Shangguan Xiaobao was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so he had to explain.

"So that's the case, that's good, but I'll ask two more people to say a little bit. The small shop and business really can't stand the tossing!" The manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, explained a few words, and then ran back to the kitchen as if he was flying, because he suddenly remembered that he forgot to turn off the gas when he came out.

After such a small episode, the two of them had a much smaller strife and finally they reached a price that was considered satisfactory to both parties.

"Then it's settled, 100 yuan per page, and a 10% share if you publish a single book. Alas, I didn't expect that the young man would be so powerful in this area at such a young age. He is old, really old!"

Shangguan Xiaobao wiped the hot sweat from his forehead. With his head, he couldn't figure out what the head of Zhao Chen was made of. Not only could he draw such excellent comics at a young age, but he was so smart, and he was simply talented. But when he saw his clothes covered with patches, he suddenly became imaginative. Could this be the legendary sketch painter famous for his unruly and unruly!

It’s no wonder that Shangguan Xiaobao was thinking in a mess. It was really that Zhao Chen showed his talent that was too amazing for him, but this also left a very deep impression on Shangguan Xiaobao.

"Since the agreement is complete, I will take you to the Holy Fire Publishing House to complete the signing!"

When Zhao Chen heard that Shangguan Xiaobao was about to take him to sign the contract, he seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but remind him: "Uncle Shangguan, aren't you going to Yulang International Co., Ltd.?"

"I won't go, I just went over and checked it out. I just wanted to learn how their assembly line comics were produced! But I can't bring you in too. I'll come back next time, let's go back to the Holy Fire Publishing House first!"

Shangguan Xiaobao waved his hand with an indifferent expression.

Zhao Chen didn't say anything, but followed Shangguan Xiaobao. He knew that Shangguan Xiaobao was afraid that he would lose face there, so he took care of his emotions. He couldn't help but sigh that perhaps Shenghuo Publishing House is not as good as Yulang International Co., Ltd., but Shangguan Xiaobao's good character alone is enough to attract Zhao Chen. No wonder many comic masters in Xiangjiang in later generations were Shangguan Xiaobao's apprentices.

The Holy Fire Publishing House was jointly established by Shangguan Xiaobao and his three friends. It might have been fine when it was established at the beginning, but gradually due to uneven distribution of interests, the differences between the four began to grow bigger and bigger. Even now, even the good man Shangguan Xiaobao is a little unbearable, resulting in his ability being unable to fully exert his strength. However, even so, his rights are the greatest among them, and the signing author is all his jurisdiction.

Shenghuo Publishing House is not too far from Yulang International Co., Ltd., and the two walked for more than ten minutes to reach their destination. Zhao Chen, who had just entered Shenghuo Publishing House, glanced inside and found that the office space was not very big, just over a hundred square meters, but more than ten people were busy everywhere.

Of course, three of these people are also the bosses of the Holy Fire Publishing House. They basically sit and publish things. As for the others, they are basically Shangguan Xiaobao's apprentices or assistants, including Ma Rongcheng, Niu Lao, Feng Zhiming and other mainstays of Xiangjiang cartoonists in the future. After Zhao Chen saw it, he couldn't help but look at Shangguan Xiaobao. Shangguan Xiaobao is really a good master. If Xiangjiang comics can always prosper, it will have his contributions. In this regard, he is even more famous than Huang Yulang!

Although Shangguan Xiaobao's three friends couldn't help but have some doubts when they met Zhao Chen, they didn't say anything. After all, they all knew Shangguan Xiaobao's vision and naturally wouldn't say anything. However, when they saw the content of the contract, they all began to object, because the Holy Fire Publishing House has not given any newcomer such a good contract. This contract is almost at the level of a well-known cartoonist, so how can they not make them anxious?

"Don't say anything, are you questioning my vision? Alas, if you are worried, if you really lose money, I will pay the loss at that time."

Shangguan Xiaobao was really angry. He had worked with these three friends for so many years, but gradually they all began to care about their own interests and their eyes became so short-sighted. No wonder Shenghuo Publishing House couldn't develop, and now even the assistants were included in the number of ten fingers.

When the three of them saw Shangguan Xiaobao say this, they felt relieved and couldn't help but look at the other two.

The three of them are naturally not fools, but they are dissatisfied with Shangguan Xiaobao's decision to make a private decision. At least they have to discuss this contract carefully with them. After all, the royalties are too high for novices and have a considerable risk of loss. That is why they say such words. With Shangguan Xiaobao's guarantee, there is naturally no risk of loss, and they naturally feel relaxed. In fact, although these three people are not stupid, they are all short-sighted people. They can indeed reduce the risk, but this also makes Shangguan Xiaobao feel even more dissatisfied.

"These three are really greedy, but unfortunately, because of this, in two years, Shangguan Xiaobao will go to Yulang International Co., Ltd., as long as Shangguan Xiaobao, the pillar, leaves, can you still have the current life! They are all fools who are greedy for the small and lose the big!" Zhao Chen looked at the three of them, but he looked very despised. Everyone has their own temperament. Even if a good person like Shangguan Xiaobao is oppressed for a long time, he will move away. This is simply pushing the God of Wealth out.

However, Zhao Chen didn't say anything. All he could do was concentrate on painting and then make a fortune in silence. At least he had to wait until he had sufficient strength, otherwise he would just look at the sky from a well - unrealistic!

Shangguan Xiaobao quickly drafted the contract and placed it in front of Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen looked carefully twice, and only signed his name after he could not find the loophole. It was not that he did not believe in Shangguan Xiaobao, but that the contract must be treated with caution, otherwise if it was a bad person, he would be the one who was cheated.

"Everyone come here first. This is the little brother Zhao Chen. He just signed a contract with our Holy Fire Publishing House. Now he is the signing cartoonist of our Holy Fire Publishing House!"

After Zhao Chen signed the contract, Shangguan Xiaobao handed one of them over to Zhao Chen for safekeeping, and then summoned the cartoonists and assistants who were still busy. Among them were Ma Rongcheng, Niu Lao, Xie Zhirong, Feng Zhiming, Zhao Weide, Li Zhiqing, Huang Weizhao and Huang Guoxing. They were all apprentices accepted by Shangguan Xiaobao. Some of them have become signing cartoonists, including Ma Rongcheng, who will become famous in the future; the rest are assistants, and Niu Lao, who will be famous in the Xiangjiang comics industry, is still an assistant.
