"Mr. Chen, Miss Lin, this is the bookstore you use to sell comic books today." Inside the Mercedes Benz, George pointed to a small bookstore outside the window and said.
Following George's fingers, Chen Ze and Lin Lan look over. In front of them, there is a bungalow with pure black walls and a big sign on the door fire lake library!
"This huohu bookstore is the one arranged by our company for you. Mr. Smith can't come here because of his work. He asked me to say sorry to you and wish you good luck." Said George.
"It's very kind of Mr. Smith. He's too busy to come. We can understand him and say thank you for us." Lin Lan said with a smile.
After reading the library, Chen Ze fell into deep meditation. Although the library is only a bungalow, it is large enough. The wall outside is tens of meters long. In addition, it is a place with a large flow of New York people. Therefore, it should be a small problem to sell 500 copies a day.
With this in mind, Chen Ze nodded and said, "yes, tell Mr. Smith that I will definitely complete our previous agreement."
Unfortunately, Chen Ze's idea is very good, but things are not going as smoothly as he thought.
After he and Lin Lan get out of the car, they enter the huohu library. There is a woman named silis waiting in the library. She is 40 years old and is sent by Landu library to cooperate with Chen Ze and Lin Lan to complete the task agreed today.
Together, they put the English version of Chen Ze's comics delivered by Lando group in order, and put it in the most conspicuous place that you can see as soon as you enter the library.
Not only that, but also outside the bookstore, there is a big sign, which is written in English with a few big characters from Chinese comics.
After finishing all this, Chen Ze turned around and nodded with satisfaction. He thought that in terms of the flow of people here, selling 500 copies should not be a problem.
But the result was far beyond his expectation. Two hours later, only a few of his comic books were sold.
There has been a lot of traffic outside, and the sound of cars whistling past one after another. Many people entered the bookstore. In two hours, many books were sold in the whole bookstore.
There's nothing wrong with everything, but Chen Ze's comics can't be sold at all. Even if it's put in the most conspicuous place, there's no one to look at it.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ze thought to himself, "if these American people who enter the store don't like comics after reading them, it's OK. But now when they hear that it's a Chinese cartoon, they even don't want to read it. Is it true that we Chinese cartoons are so unpopular in the United States? "
Chen zegang just saw that Lin Lan and Alice stopped a customer who came into the store and sold their comic books to them. But when the customer heard that it was a cartoon from Huaxia, he shook his head and said "no".
In fact, before he came here, although Chen Ze felt that this task was a little difficult, he was not totally unable to complete it. After all, his cartoons were the most classic in his previous life.
Until now, when he saw that his cartoon was completely ignored, Chen Ze realized the difficulty of opening up the U.S. market. With Li Ming's statesmanship, he is still frustrated in the United States and the western world. I'm afraid it's normal for him to encounter this situation today.
In the past few years, Chen Ze has always been at a disadvantage. As soon as he launched the cartoon, he would be able to make a big success. Now when he suddenly meets this kind of cold reception in the United States, Chen Ze suddenly has no idea what to do.
Fortunately, Chen Ze's attitude is quite good. When he first came to the world, his comic "slam dunk master" was the same as today's situation. It was not until he met Lin Lan and the new animation magazine that it became popular.
Chen Ze now also believes that the charm of comics is always the same, as long as you give yourself a chance to caricature, then even in the United States, your own comics will get better immediately.
"It's OK, Chen Ze. I think the difficulty is always temporary. Now the American people don't know your cartoon and fame. One day, they will know." Lin Lan came over and whispered to Chen Ze.
Although it is to Cheer Chen Ze up, in the words, there is the meaning of giving up today and there must be opportunities in the future.
Lin Lan has been trying to sell Chen Ze's comics since she entered the store. As a result, in the last two hours, she was frustrated.
Of course, Lin Lan believes in Chen Ze's comics. His comics sell very well in China and the whole East Asia. These Americans don't know how to appreciate it. When they hear that it's a Chinese cartoon, they don't read it. In the end, it must be their own loss.
Of course, Lin Lan, as Chen Ze's girlfriend, was naturally afraid that Chen Ze's self-confidence would be hit, so she came to comfort him.After all, Chen Ze is in China, but he has never received such a cold reception.
"Lan Lan, it's hard for you today." Chen Ze holds Lin Lan in his arms and touches her hair. Just now, Lin Lan was shaking his head for his comics, before and after running.
A person who has been pampered since childhood, even after graduating from University, also starts his own business as a boss, can do this step. Chen Ze knows that Lin Lan is absolutely too hard today.
"You're right. I believe my cartoon will become famous in the United States and the whole west one day. But today, I'm not going to give up. "
Chen Ze said again that he had never been a person who would retreat when encountering difficulties. On the contrary, the more he encountered this situation, the more he wanted to conquer it.
Chen Ze takes Lin Lan and walks up to Alice, ready to ask her a few questions. After all, he and Lin Lan are not American. They can't think about problems with pure American. Naturally, they don't know how to solve the problems they encounter today.
"What do you think is the problem today, Alice? Do you Americans really don't like my comics? " Chen Ze asked, Lin Lan translated his words to Alice.
"No, I think your cartoon is very good." Celise shook her head. After receiving the assignment from Lando group, she read Chen Ze's comics and thought it was really a good one.
"I think it's because of your identity. We Americans have never seen your Huaxia comics. We all have the impression that your Huaxia comics are not good-looking. So you see, today's customers don't even bother to read your comics. It's not a matter of your comics, it's a matter of impressions left over for a long time. "
She told Lin Lan and Chen Ze what she thought. Lin Lan frowned after listening. If it's really a matter of the impression of the environment of the United States, it's basically very difficult to solve it.
I'm afraid it's not only that Chen Ze and I can't fulfill the agreement with Smith today, but also that it's quite difficult to open up the U.S. and Western markets in the future.
"Celis, you say it's all about the impression of the American people!" After listening to Lin Lan's translation, Chen Ze suddenly said. If we say that the problem is not caused by our own cartoons, but by the inherent impression of the American people
"I have a way!"
Chen Ze's brain suddenly flashed, and he came up with a solution to this problem.
"The way, what way?" Lin Lan and Alice both look at Chen Ze.
Chen Ze said with a smile: "you will know later. Now, prepare something for me first!"
Just as Chen Ze came up with a solution, not far from the library, on a black Mercedes Benz business car, a man with white hair, glasses and scholar style looked at the library.
"Mr. Smith, according to the news just received, Chen Ze's comic books are not selling well. Two hours later, he just sold a few copies."
This man is rando group executive Smith, next to Smith, George said.
"I see." Smith nodded. The cooperation with Huaxia Chen Zelin LAN has a bearing on the business development direction of the whole group in recent years. Therefore, Smith ignored his work and came here to see how Chen Ze's comics responded.
But the result let him a little disappointed, two hours actually sold only a few copies, this is in New York, although not the business center, but also one of the most prosperous areas.
Now I only get this result. Is my opinion really wrong?
