Chapter 109 Fantasy Comics

Alex sets comic characters based on his memory of the characters in the Harry Potter movie. As for the comic style, it looks like Japanese comics, but it is more realistic and the picture is very clean and refreshing.

He has learned to draw, and this is the first time he has drawn comics.

However, he has read so many comics and has drawn script storytelling. In addition, with a master like Stan Lee demonstrating, he used the "spiritual doll" to steal the master, and soon stole Stan Lee's skills.

Alex himself can draw, and there are so many references to later comics. In addition to Stan Lee's drawing skills, he has any reason to not draw, even if he has his eyes closed.

In this way, Stan Lee and the others were frightened by Alex's performance. No one could calm down in the face of this evil-level learning ability.

When Alex draws drafts, he is very fast. He picks up the pen with both hands and draws on the paper at the same time. He only brushes a few times and a draft is already drawn, and even the dialogue is added. The rest of the work is to add background and detailed drawings, and this kind of work progress is like flying.

He drew so quickly, but the design of the drawing was not bad at all. There were many comic storylines, and even Stan Lee felt very inspired.

"I can actually draw like this! Why do I become so nervous after watching a plain plot?" Stan Lee looked at the draft while perfecting the details. At the same time, he was also studying Alex's decomposition and looking at the characteristics of the other party's comic shot language.

Looking at Alex showing his power, Stan Lee couldn't believe his eyes, but he had to believe it. He said to Goodman: "Fortunately he is on our side, otherwise we would be miserable.

Goodman shook his head and said, "Fortunately he didn't focus on drawing comics, otherwise we would all be out of work."

No matter how they were amazed, Alex only planned to make such an exception. He didn't want to trap himself in the comics. Before leaving, he said, "Don't forget the special issue of Captain America, my brother Richard wants to read it."

The Harry Potter comic is just something Alex made on a whim, and he didn't care whether the comic would be a big hit. As for legal issues, Alex didn't need to pay attention to it. He just asked a lawyer to deal with it. The adaptation rights of the novel movie and the comics are still in Alex's hands, and Bantan Bookstore only owns the copyright of the novel.

This "Harry Potter" comic is different from all the European and American comics on the market now. It is not just the style, but even the plot of the comics.

Marvel Company quickly compiled a Harry Potter comic because the comic market is now at a low point, and teenagers cannot buy the comics they like, and the market is in a state of extreme hunger.

The publication of the Harry Potter comic is like a clear spring flowing in front of the desert traveler who is about to die of thirst. As soon as the first issue of the comic was launched, it was snatched away. Faced with such good news, Marvel Company stepped up the secondary printing, and after it was put on the market, it was immediately digested.

At first, parents were on the wait-and-see attitude towards the comics adapted from children's fantasy novels. They soon discovered that this kind of fantasy comic is much better than the comics that promote bloody violence. Many adults also bought a copy and read it, and they were fascinated by it all at once.

The fresh style of painting, magical magic, and twisted and twisted storylines all attract people to watch. In addition, other types of comics on the market are suppressed, and various factors have combined to make this comic popular all over the United States.

Other comic companies seemed to see the light of hope, and they suddenly realized: "It turns out that comics can be painted like this!"

For a moment, many comic companies began to pay attention to this kind of fantasy novel, and connected the comics of "The Lord of the Rings", "Nania Chronicles", etc. The bloody and violent hero comics were expelled by the fantasy comics, and the tough style was replaced by the fresh and beautiful style.

Inadvertently, Alex brought American comics to a new path. This was something he unexpectedly expected at first.

He acquired shares of Marvel and DC early, and Alex only used it as a leisure move and did not expect these two companies to bring profits to himself immediately. He was still planning to invest his funds in fast food or supermarkets. He had already had a goal for fast food choices.

Acquiring a comic company is just a small investment from Alex, which is nothing in his investment plan. Even if the investment of less than one million US dollars is lost, it will not cost him much. Now the comics industry is out of a very bad situation, so Alex has picked up a bargain.

If he wanted to acquire it at such a price in the 1960s and 1970s, it would be impossible.

The first investment in the investment company was comics, and then he thought of supermarkets and fast food. He felt that there were opportunities everywhere now, and as long as he knew the right choice, he had to take action decisively. In a few years, there would be no such good opportunity.

For supermarkets, you have to find Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart. Investing in the world's largest supermarket is a good choice. Unfortunately, Sam didn't know that he could not find the boss in that small supermarket. This plan could only be put aside for the time being and started when it was found.

Speaking of fast food, Alex first thought of KFC and McDonald's. In his memory, these two fast food restaurants were almost all over the world. The staff of the investment company quickly contacted Colonel Haaland Sanders, the founder of KFC.

Alex also knows Sanders' experience of becoming rich and wealthy. It can be said that it is a very inspiring story. "Persistence" is the biggest reason for Sanders' success.

As early as 1930, Sanders opened a fried chicken shop in Kentucky, which was the prototype of the KFC shop. The outbreak of World War II disrupted his plans, and his restaurant was greatly affected.

He had to sell his assets to repay his debts, and the proceeds were only half of his total assets before the highway opened to traffic. In order to pay off his debts, even his bank deposits were used up. Suddenly, Harlan Sanders, the formerly respected colonel, changed from a rich man respected by everyone to a poor man of no name.

At this time, Sanders was already 56 years old and could only rely on relief funds every month. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life like this.

So he started his second business, with a pressure cooker and a 50-pound production bucket on the road, driving his old Ford. He wore a white suit and a black bow, dressed in a southern gentleman, and stopped at the door of every hotel, from Kentucky to Ohio, selling fried chicken secret recipes and asking the boss and clerk to perform fried chicken.

If they like fried chicken, they sell them the franchise, provide ingredients, and teach them how to fry. At the beginning, no one believed him at all. In the whole two years, he was rejected 1,009 times, and finally got a "okay" answer when he walked into a restaurant on the 1010th time.

After that, Sanders' idea was accepted by more and more people, who liked the fried chicken taste made in this way.

In 1952, the first KFC restaurant in Salt Lake City was established, which was the beginning of the world's catering franchise franchise. Then, to the surprise of more people, Sanders' business was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball. At this time in 1955, Sanders planned to expand its business scope and needed to invest more funds.

When the investment company contacted Sanders, he was planning to establish a KFC Co., Ltd. for Sanders. For Sanders, it was like someone gave him a pillow when he wanted to sleep. Alex did not interfere in the matter related to the negotiations, but only knew that he spent $500,000 to get a 46% stake.

With Alex's funds, KFC has developed 500 chain stores in the United States and Canada in just two years. Alex's original $500,000 has also become a multi-million asset.

But McDonald's was not so smooth. He asked someone to contact Richard McDonald's and Morris McDonald's to talk to them about the acquisition. However, the McDonald's brothers had to meet Alex in person before they could discuss the issue of the acquisition or acquisition.

In 1940, the McDonald's brothers opened their first McDonald's restaurant in San Bernardino, California. After more than ten years of development, they have already had 8 branches.

When Alex found them, the McDonald brothers were preparing to authorize Ray Crocker to open the ninth branch. If they were a few days later, they might have agreed on the terms.

In order to successfully acquire, Alex contacted the McDonald brothers and immediately flew over to find them. This was shortly after Christmas in 1954, people had already started to work. The festive atmosphere was still left in the air, and there was a sweet and fragrant festive atmosphere everywhere.

When they learned that Alex was coming, the McDonald's brothers were ready to take the job. The two of them had also watched "The Voice of Music", both of whom were Alex's fans and fans.

Soon, Alex saw two brothers who were about 50 years old. The eldest brother was over fifty, and the younger brother was almost fifty. They were fat and fat, with a very beautiful smile. They looked very similar, and they knew they were two brothers at a glance.

As early as 1928, when McDonald's had just graduated from high school, he couldn't find a job, so he went to California to join his brother McDonald's. They were so poor that they had no money to open a shop, so they set up stalls on the street to sell hot dogs, and then slowly switched to fast food chains selling fries and burgers.
