Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 30 Acquisition
In the next few days, Ke Lin continued to shuttle between the positive and negative worlds to serialize the "Superman" comics.

Trying to unlock more new abilities, while silently adapting to [Super Power].

【Super Power】

As in the comics, Colin's earliest serialized ability.

In later generations, under the overwhelming baptism of various superhero comic themes, this ability will almost become a bad street ability. Even in many comic stories, no matter whether it is a positive superhero or an evil super villain, they all have this ability. one ability.

However, bad ability doesn't mean [Super Power] is bad.

On the contrary, it is precisely because the ability [Super Power] is so easy to use, and it can best show the superhuman side of the character.

The creators of comics will tirelessly add it to the characters in their works.

This feeling of being able to lift the car with ease is really fascinating.

After a few days, Ke Lin has basically adapted to his new ability, and he will no longer destroy the things around him uncontrollably like when he first acquired the ability.

In the past few days, he has gone to great lengths to conceal the abnormality of his ability.

Almost exposed in front of the cameraman.

The complex situation of the anti-world made Colin vigilant, so he didn't want to expose his specialness prematurely before he had enough self-protection ability.

Similarly, I have no intention of relying on my [super power] to fight for justice and become a superhero.

Even if it is in the positive world.

The "Superman" character he created has become a symbol of superheroes in the minds of readers.

……

"Acquisition?"

Right in the world, inside the Messenger newspaper office.

Ke Lin looked at the uninvited middle-aged man in front of him, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Yes."

Nodding his head, he looked at the crowded space of the Messenger newspaper. A look of contempt flashed in the man's eyes. He turned his head to look at Colin in front of him and said in a condescending tone: "Actually, the conditions I put forward are not for the "Messenger newspaper." For tabloids like The Courier, this is already a huge concession... The price of two hundred thousand dollars is enough to buy ten small newspapers like the Courier in this period..."

"According to the latest statistics, the sales volume of the "Courier" is only about [-] copies, which is not even a fraction of that of "World Journal."

As the man said, the Daily World, with a daily circulation of more than a million, was arguably one of the most widely circulated newspapers in New York during this period.

Obviously, a big newspaper with a daily circulation of millions.

It is impossible to attack a tabloid like the "Courier" for no reason.

Therefore, there is only one reason for the "World Journal" to make a move.

"So, your goal is "Superman"?"

Facing Ke Lin's questioning, the man who made the acquisition on behalf of the "World Journal" obviously disdained to lie, he nodded, and immediately admitted: "There is no doubt that the only one in the entire "Messenger" that can be read by the "World Journal" Among them, there is only the serial comics of "Superman"."

The potential of "Superman" is not only clear to the readers, but also to the newspapers.

Following the serialization of comics, the sales volume of "The Courier" has been rising all the way. Although it is still not worth mentioning compared with such a big newspaper as "World Journal", the meaning behind this undoubtedly makes "World Journal" exciting.

After all, the bigger the newspaper industry, the more important it is to sell newspapers.

Since "Superman" can increase the sales volume of "Courier" from tens of millions to [-], if it is published in "World Journal", which has a larger circulation and wider readership, will it be able to Attract more readers, so that the sales of the newspaper will increase even more.

Not to mention, World Journal could take advantage of some of the side revenue from the Superman comics.

It is for this reason that the "World Journal" will make a move and propose the acquisition of the Messenger newspaper under Ke Lin.

Under normal circumstances, facing the acquisition proposed by a major newspaper like "World Journal", there is no reason to refuse.

Although, as one of the negotiating parties, the "World Journal" is a little arrogant.

But that doesn't detract from the allure of their conditional throws.

At least, in the Messenger newspaper office, after listening to the conditions put forward by the "World Journal", the old John and the little John already showed obvious expressions of excitement on their faces.

Once, Ke Lin agreed to the other party's acquisition.

They will also receive an objective severance package, and even have the opportunity to work in a branch of the "World Journal".

"Feel sorry."

"At present I have no intention of selling the Courier-Journal."

Looking away from Old John and his son, Colin resolutely rejected the acquisition of "World Journal".

As the creator of comics, he knows the value of "Superman" better than anyone in this world.

Not to mention, to obtain the ability of [Black Iron Mark], it still needs to be unlocked by Ke Lin's continued serial comics.

Once "Superman" falls into the hands of "World Journal", how can he ensure that the other party will serialize comics according to his wishes? More importantly, Colin cannot guarantee that if "Superman" is serialized on "World Journal", , Whether the readers harvested will become [faith] like the "Courier".

It was precisely because of such concerns that Ke Lin refused the "World Journal".

Of course, it is undeniable.

The arrogance that the other party has shown since entering the newspaper office made him unhappy.

"Um?!"

Ke Lin's refusal answer was obviously not within the expectation of "World Journal".

"Are you sure you've thought it through, Mr. Colin Luper?"

The middle-aged man in charge of the purchase looked at him and reconfirmed, as if he didn't quite believe what he heard.

"Do you understand what you're doing right now?"

"I think I've made it very clear."

Facing the man's questioning, Colin replied calmly.

"The "Courier" is in good business condition, and I have no intention of selling the newspaper. So, I'm sorry sir, let me make a trip for nothing."

After listening to Ke Lin's words, the expression on the man's face suddenly became a bit ugly.

"You don't know what you're missing!"

Standing up, he picked up the hat on the table and put it on his head again. The other party looked down at Colin in front of him, and said with an obvious threat in his tone.

"Before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, you have one last chance to regret it, Mr. Colin Luper, otherwise the "Courier" is ready to close its doors. You must understand that the world is not only "The Courier" "A newspaper draws so-called superhero cartoons..."
