Marvel's Saiki's Disaster

On Wednesday, Kiki and Jacob met at a café near Queens.

After knowing the news, Potts decisively took leave for the day, and insisted on accompanying Qi Mu to sign the contract in person.

The reason is that Qi Mu is too young to understand the content of the contract, and he is easy to be deceived.

Although the manga editor-in-chief is her friend, the businessman always puts interests first.

Even if it's a friendship, they can be thrown aside at any time, and Potts doesn't want to hurt the kid Qimu because of himself.

In fact, Qi Mu was not worried that the other party would have any bad intentions, but seeing that Potts' attitude was so firm, Qi Mu could only bring her with him.

......

Five minutes before the appointed time, Jacob was already sitting in the café waiting, and just as he was looking around, a pink-haired teenager walked in through the door, and behind him was Potts, whom Jacob had admired for a long time.

"I'm the editor-in-chief of Pacific Comics Magazine, Jacob Doyle."

Jacob stood up and looked up and down at the very young cartoonist, who was emaciated, like a short man who had been bullied at school.

However, to his surprise, the momentum exuded by Qi Mu's body, confident and easy-going, made Jacob can't help but feel a delusion, thinking that the person standing in front of him at this time is a high-ranking person with a successful career.

Listening to Jacob's heart, Qi Mu secretly laughed, how could he have such momentum on him, in fact, he was just an ordinary person.

It's just that while walking, Qi Mu used telepathy to transmit some hallucinations to Jacob's brain, which may be of great help to the later signing.

"Hello, I'm Qi Mu, the author of One Punch Man."

With a smile on his face, Qi Mu and Jacob shook hands.

"It's hard to imagine that the author of the masterpiece of Punch Man is really a child... I'm sorry, I'm not doubting you, it's just that I didn't expect you to be so young, not at all. "

Even though he saw it with his own eyes, Jacob felt that this was too exaggerated.

Immediately afterwards, Jacob turned his gaze to Potts: "Long time no see, Miss Potts, I didn't expect you to give me such a surprise, thank you so much." "

Potts maintained the social etiquette he deserved, smiled and replied, "Actually, I didn't do anything about it. "

The three of them sat down, Jacob took out the original manuscript of a punch of Superman from the folder, gently put it on the table, and then said in a calm tone: "Since Miss Potts is here, then I'll go straight to the topic, to be honest, I like this work very much, in my eyes, its quality is also quite good, but I found a big problem, that is, the setting of this work, it should subvert the traditional superhero theme, right?" "

"Yes." Qi Mu nodded.

"That's right, although the content of this work is very interesting, I can't be sure that fans will be able to accept its premise, and if our magazine publishes One Punch Man, it will be a big risk."

Saying that, Jacob showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and his tone seemed to be more cautious: "Then I'll tell you our remuneration directly, if this comic is launched in a serialized way, it needs to be updated every week, basically 25 dollars per sketch, and if a single book is released in the future, I can give you 7% of the royalty, of course, in addition to electronic copyright, you have to keep all other copyrights, what do you think?" "

Jacob is very clever in this routine, and generally speaking, newcomers like Qi Mu will be treated very poorly.

$20 for a sketch is already the limit, not to mention the royalty, which is only 3% to 5% at most, and the 10% royalty is only available to famous cartoonists, and it is simply impossible for newcomers.

The reason why Qi Mu can get such treatment is because Jacob sees the potential of the sketch of "One Punch Man", and even more so the potential of Qi Mu as a person.

Plot aside, Qi Mu's amazing painting skills really shocked him, not at all weaker than any known cartoonist, besides, Qi Mu's age is only about ten years old, which is enough for Jacob to spend the company's resources to woo him.

It's easy to get a good work, but it's very difficult to get a talented manga artist.

Jacob believes that as long as Pacific Comics Magazine has Qi Mu joining, it will be able to reach the most glorious moment of the magazine again.

Hearing Jacob's words, Potts frowned, shook his head and replied: "If it's just for this reason, I don't agree, Mr. Jacob, every industry will have risks, and you and I can clearly see the potential of this comic, it is definitely better than the superhero comics on the market, so the royalty must be raised to 10%, and each drawing is purchased for $40, in addition, we have to pay 50% of the electronic royalty." "

Jacob was directly stunned by Potts' analysis, and couldn't say anything for a while.

Before this, Potts had been fully prepared, she had investigated the market for comic books, and had a deep understanding of the relevant information, for this negotiation, Potts was fully confident, and knew where the other party's bottom line was.

Although Potts has no professional knowledge of comics, he is Potts's specialty in negotiation, and even if ten Jacobs are added together, it is impossible to compare with her.

Looking at Potts, who was full of aura, Qi Mu felt that he had found the right person.
