Happy New Year!

Spencer walked into the office, and it was empty. Before his other colleagues came, he made a cup of coffee for himself, sat at his desk and picked up a newly published "Yomiuri Shimbun" and looked at it.

He said he was a military reporter. In fact, his job was very simple. He mainly reported to the life of American soldiers overseas. Where did soldiers fight in bars? What new policies have been introduced in Japan? The progress of the aircraft carriers that are undergoing daily maintenance in Yokosuka's military port? They are all the contents of his interviews. Moreover, because of the well-known ideology in the 1950s, there is a very important share in his work, which is to interview certain news releases that occurred in the Soviet Union and the emerging People's Republic of China, and then send them back to the country for Chinese people to enjoy after dinner.

After reading a few pages of the newspaper, there was no novelty in the content: the negotiations between Japan and the United States on exchange rates continued after Christmas and New Year's rest. The Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yokogi Standal Hall specifically mentioned in his exclusive interview with our newspaper that in the next two to three years, it will be built in Japan and set up a TV station owned by the Japanese. The specific station details and operations are being negotiated with the corresponding personnel. Of course, help from the United States is very necessary.

"Does Japan also have its own TV station?" Spencer shook his head disdainfully and turned the newspaper a page. Soon, a press release appeared in front of him: "The story of "Ocean Cookies" from the United States was painted in an album by Japanese painter Ai Feidian for sale in Japan?"

"Ocean Cookies? Is it..." Spencer recalled: It wasn't that describing the horse, right? Look at the news, the content is very limited, only a few sentences to introduce it. What's going on? It's not true, right?

He was thinking about it, and the office door was pushed open, and his colleague came to work: "Ah, Henry, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Jack." Spencer replied casually: "Oh, I have something to do, go out." Before the new colleague who came in could react, he had already taken the door out.

I went around the bookstore in Yokosuka. Fortunately, there is also "Ocean Cookies" for sale here. I took it over and saw it. Sure enough, it was the story of the famous horse racing!

After living in Japan for a few years, Spencer had no problem with Japanese dialogues, but when faced with this comic book full of Katakana, he was still a little confused. He had no choice but to buy it home and let Ai Yoshida read it for him, and then he knew it.

Back in his office, Spencer sent a telegram to Houston Franklin, the editor-in-chief of the domestic news edition of the New York Times, and informed the latter of the comics that were adapted into a very famous horse racing story in American history. Houston was puzzled by his colleagues: How could Henry think that such a comic work that appeared in the Japanese could be published in the United States and in the New York Times?

I took the telegram back and asked, Henry's reply was very simple: Why not? Hero, do you think such a story is published in the comics page of the newspaper by serialization, wouldn't there be a market?

Houseton was helpless and was unwilling to directly reject the opinions of his colleagues from Japan, so he had to leave a hole: Let me show it, is it OK?

Shortly after transporting this special document back to New York by plane, Spencer received a telegram from Houston: Henry, contacting the author.

The following matter is relatively simple. Spencer conveyed a very simple requirement through several calls with Fuji Takeuchi: to obtain the overseas distribution rights of "Ocean Cookies"!

So, a conversation between Fuji and Ai Fei was found.

After listening to Fuji's hesitant introduction, Ai Fei's eyes rolled a few times: "I can send the overseas distribution rights of this work to the US through your social network."

Fuji was overjoyed: "Is it really OK?"

"Yes, it's really OK. But I don't think you can reach an agreement just so simple, right?"

"Uh...of course, of course..." Fuji also knew that the young man in front of him could not infer according to common sense: "Ai Jun can negotiate any conditions."

"The conditions are very simple." Just now, Ai Fei had already written a draft: "I want your club to give me all the American royalties I should be able to get."

“Eh?”

"Don't understand? That's it. The United States hopes to publish my works in a serial way. The royalties are naturally based on the method of paying for each issue that is published and paid for each issue..."

As soon as he said this, Fuji understood: "Do you want our company to pay you all the royalties for the United States in advance?"

"Yes. That's it."

"But, please forgive me, does Ai Jun need money?"

"Yes, it's very necessary. It can even be said that it's very necessary." Ai Fei looked so cute with a smile: "If possible, I even want to find someone to lend a part of it!"

Seeing that he had no explicit meaning, Fuji wisely chose to remain silent: "......Okay. We can accept this condition."

"The second condition is that before my "Ocean Biscuits" reaches overseas copyright, I hope to temporarily stop some domestic printing matters."

"………?” Fuji was a little confused: "Yes, but why?"

"Sorry, this is my secret. I can't tell you. So, please forgive me."

After hitting a nail head-on, Fuji felt helpless and said: "Okay. This matter is acceptable. So, is there anything else?"

"there is none left."

Fuji and Nishio achieved their first goal and said goodbye with satisfaction. Looking at their backs as they left far away, Ai Fei smiled slightly and turned back to the house with his mother: "Can Xiao Ai Jun's works actually be published in the United States?"

"It's not a question of publishing yet." Ai Fei was not excited about this: "The temporary publication should be just in a column of the New York Times. Well, let's talk about the publication."

"But,..." For Ai Shiko, the United States is an extremely distant country. Her son's works can be published in newspapers in this country, which has made her feel extremely proud: "Is the New York Times a big newspaper?"

Ai Fei laughed at his mother's ignorant words: "It's okay. It's a bit influential newspaper. Oh, mom, can you go to school with me tomorrow? I want to solve my withdrawal procedures."

"Do you want your mother and Xiao Aijun to go together?"

"Yes. I originally wanted to solve the problem by myself, but the other party said that I must have the consent of my father or mother."

"Oh well."
