Chapter 368

After two or three days of adjustment, Chen Ze's time difference was almost adjusted. Up to now, he has basically adapted to the work and rest time of the United States.

It seems that the publishing house that invited Chen Ze and Lin Lan to come to the United States also knew about this situation. Early this morning, they sent someone to the house to take Chen Ze and Lin Lan to their New York headquarters.

The publishing house that Chen Ze and Chen Ze cooperated with this time is Lando house, one of the three major publishing houses in the United States. This publishing group owns eight publishing houses, which are not only one of the largest publishing houses in the United States, but also a famous publishing group in the whole world for popular novels, social sciences, business non novels, high-end literary works, etc.

In recent years, due to the great development of the local comic industry in China, Lando book house has expanded its business scope to comic books. It not only publishes local comic books, but also pays attention to the introduction of overseas comic copyright.

However, in the past, most of their comics were from American cartoonists and Western European cartoonists. In Asia, they also introduced Li Ming's comics. Unfortunately, the repercussions in the United States and the whole west were not so good.

Therefore, Lando Bookstore gave up the introduction of the copyright of Chinese Comics and even the whole oriental world. They think that there is a big gap between Chinese Comics and American comics in terms of thinking mode and behavior habits. Chinese excellent comics are not welcomed by American people.

Until recent years, comic books in the United States and the West as a whole have been in a rather sluggish situation. The gap between new excellent comic books and cartoonists is that the comic industry in the whole western world is eating the old roots of the past.

In this case, they look to the East again, hoping to find comic and cartoonist in the east to break this dilemma. At this time, they noticed Chen Ze.

Chen Ze's talent in creating comics over the years makes them think that maybe Chen Ze will be a cartoonist who can be popular in the West. Therefore, after evaluating all Chen Ze's comics and the value of his whole person, they took the initiative to contact Lin Lan's new animation magazine, hoping to cooperate.

As a result, Chen Ze and Lin Lan made this trip to the United States.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Smith of our group has been waiting for you and Miss Lin Lan in his office. He asked me to take you and Lin Lan as soon as possible."

In a black Mercedes Benz speeding along New York Avenue, a blonde man in his thirties said to Chen Ze and Lin Lan.

However, unlike his typical Western appearance, he now speaks pure Chinese. Yes, it's quite pure. If Chen Ze and Lin Lan's eyes were covered, they would never have thought that the speaker would be a pure American.

The name of this man is George Johnson. He is the person in charge of hosting Chen Ze and Lin Lan in Lando book house this time. He was sent here because he had studied in China for ten years and spoke Chinese very well.

"Well, we'd like to see Mr. smith soon and talk to him about this cooperation." After listening to George's words, Chen Ze nodded and said.

This Mr. Smith is the person in charge of the comic book copyright publishing business of Lando book house. He came to meet Chen Ze in person. We can see that Lando book house attaches great importance to Chen Ze.

After all, although Chen Ze is not well-known in the United States, he is the most popular cartoonist in China and even in the eastern world.

Chen Ze is also aware of Smith's position in Lando book house, and that if his comics want to open the door to the western world, then he is a key character.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. We'll be able to reach the headquarters building of Lando bookstore in about ten minutes." George looked at Chen Ze, he seems to have something to say, but several times to the mouth, and swallow back.

"What's the matter, Mr. George? You can tell me if you have any questions." Chen Ze laughs.

He found this behavior of George. In his impression, the United States and the whole westerner can say whatever they want, but George in front of him actually shows this kind of Oriental unique expression, coupled with his fluent Chinese.

It really makes Chen Ze feel that this guy is a Chinese with a Western appearance. Otherwise, how could he be like this.

"Since Mr. Chen asked, I'll tell you. In fact, I have a small request." George looked at Chen Ze and said, "I especially like your comics" Naruto "and" slam dunk master ". Can you sign for me?"

Then George took out two books from the other side of the car. One is a single edition of dunk master, and the other is a single edition of Naruto.

And these two books are actually Chinese versions.

After listening to George's words, Chen Zexian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the people in Landu bookstore would be a fan of himself. He was a little stunned here for a moment.In fact, Lin Lan was a little stunned, but she, who studied in the United States, knew that with the rising Chinese economy, a group of westerners who like Chinese and oriental culture appeared in the United States and the whole western world.

George, who can speak Chinese and likes reading Chen Ze's comics, is obviously one of the representatives.

Lin Lan see Chen Ze is still Leng there, quickly poke him, this just let Chen Ze reaction come over.

Chen Ze embarrassed to George smile, and then said: "no problem, can be Mr. George like, I am also very happy."

With that, Chen Ze took the pen and two books from George and signed his name. When he was just on the stage and was engaged in the "slam dunk master" signing meeting, Chen Ze also practiced signing nervously before, so as not to make his fans feel that his handwriting is too bad.

But now it's different. So far, Chen Ze has held several signings, big and small. His signature has long been practiced well and fast.

Two or three times, Chen Ze's name appeared in George's two comic books.

George obviously didn't want to please Chen Ze, but he really liked Chen Ze's comics. After Chen Ze signed his name, he looked at the signature on the book with a happy expression on his face.

"Mr. Chen, I absolutely believe that your cartoon will be popular in the United States." George looked at Chen Ze and said firmly.

More than ten minutes later, the Mercedes Benz carrying Chen Ze and Lin Lan finally reached its destination - the headquarters building of Landu bookstore!

Lando book house is one of the most famous publishing houses in the West. The whole building is quite magnificent. Chen Ze sat in the car and looked through the window. The building was built in the middle of New York City. It was dozens of stories high.

The exterior is inlaid with floor glass, which looks very elegant under the sunlight.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Lin, let me take you up. Mr. Smith is waiting for you both on the sixty seventh floor George got out of the car first. As he spoke, he took Chen Ze and Lin Lan into the building and walked towards the elevator.

After entering the building, Chen Ze looked at the decoration inside. There are many books and paintings on the walls. Compared with the appearance, there is a bit more cultural atmosphere, which shows the connotation of its cultural publishing house.

"It's a company that has been established for nearly 100 years. It's a perfect combination of style and culture." Looking at the decoration inside, Chen Ze couldn't help whispering to Lin Lan.

"Enterprises in the United States and the West have this tradition. Our country's market economy started relatively late. I believe that in another 50 years, there will be such enterprises with profound cultural heritage." Lin Lan obviously knows more about American enterprises.

"At that time, I also believe that our magazine will become a magazine not inferior to the Lando group." Chen Ze laughs.

After I got on the elevator, I soon reached the 67th floor. George took Chen Ze and Lin Lan out of the elevator and to a front door. He knocked on the door, from which came a pure English sound.

When the English voice was over, George began to speak. He also spoke English.

Although Chen Ze didn't understand their conversation, he could guess that the man who opened his mouth inside should be Mr. Smith.

With a creak, the door was opened. Chen Ze looks inside. He wants to see what Mr. Smith looks like.

As a result, Chen Ze was stunned, because it was a woman in her twenties who opened the door. This woman is also blonde and pretty.

"This, this is Mr. Smith? No way Chen Ze said in his heart.
