In a crowded place like Central Park in New York, meeting with Captain America is obviously not a good idea. And Li Jie's fast food truck is still open.

So after handing him the burger and onion rings ordered by Rogers. Li Jie said. "Okay, Captain. But this is not a good place to talk, maybe we should change places."

Li Jie did not expect that when he was still in Toyo, Tekken said a special sentence when he left. Captain Rogers needs to find a night walker.

But now Li Jie, as a night walker, has not seen the captain. Instead, the captain first came to see him. Of course, this is not because he knew that Li Jie was a night walker.

Instead, he came to Li Jie, who was a senior three student, a part-time chef, the owner of Marvel Comics, and Li Jie, who is also a senior consultant for the Osborne Group.

Although Captain Rogers was anxious to find Li Jie, Li Jie set the specific meeting time at 10 am this weekend.

The meeting place was selected in the headquarters of Marvel Comics in Queens.

"Welcome to your visit, Captain Rogers!" Steve Rogers came to Li Jie's company on time. Li Jie was waiting for his arrival in his office early this morning.

"Thank you for taking the time to see me, Mr. Li." Rogers nodded to Li Jie, and said with a greeting.

"Oh, you're welcome. You need to know that you are an idol in this country. No one will refuse to chat with Captain America." Li Jie smiled at Rogers.

"Then, with the busy work of Captain Rogers, you can still take the time to come to our comics company. Compared to having something to find me, you can come to the point." Li Jie compared Rogers's hand, indicating that he was not polite.

"If we can do it, I will be happy to help."

Rogers sat opposite Li Jie's desk, rubbing his hands with his hands crossed. "Did Mr. Li watch TV recently, news about SHIELD?"

Li Jie pondered for a while. "Maybe it's not polite, but the recent news about SHIELD is not very friendly. You know the captain, such as an agent who deceived the mercenary to complete the tasks he should do, and he was owed something."

Rogers sighed, this kind of thing is too shameful to say. "Yeah, S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently in a dilemma. Our finances are a bit tight. Now even free coffee and donuts have been cancelled."

Regarding the financial difficulties of SHIELD, even Rogers did not tell Li Jie. It's also impossible to hide it for a long time. Some keen reporters have already smelled it. So Rogers has nothing to hide, this is no longer a secret.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Captain." Li Jie remembered what Rogers had just said. It was a little rude to prepare Rogers for coffee.

"We provide free coffee for employees here. So does the captain want a cup. There are two options for black coffee and milk coffee." Li Jie asked.

"Thank you, black coffee."

"By the way, we also provide free donuts. How many captains do you want. The best bread made in New York is directly supplied."

"Thank you, let's have one."

"What flavor do you like. Chocolate, blueberry, raspberry, or ice cream."

The strength of Rogers' hands rubbing has become a little stronger. "Is there old fashioned frosted sugar."

"Ah ~ ah! Yes." Li Jie thought for a while and definitely arrived. He pressed the phone button on the desk and asked the office assistant outside his door to help bring coffee and donuts. "Take a cup of black coffee and a few frosted sugar donuts."

The secretary over the phone. "Frosted sugar donuts, head, are you talking about the most unpopular and unpalatable kind?"

Li Jie: "Yes, that's the kind." Rogers felt his throat tighten.

"Are you sure, head?"

"I'm sure! Hurry in." Rogers felt better not to eat that doughnut. However, Li Jie quickly hung up the phone without giving Rogers the opportunity to refuse.

"So, where did we talk about the captain? Oh! That's right. Questions about the funds of SHIELD." Li Jie looked embarrassed. "The captain you know, we are just a small company and it is impossible to fund large government departments like SHIELD. First of all, it is illegal. Also we don't have that much money. Maybe Tony Stark is willing to help?"

Li Jie threw the pot to his old friend Tony Stark.

"I understand, so I am not here for this." When Rogers spoke, the office assistant had already brought coffee and donuts. Seeing the frosted sugar donuts in front of him, Rogers decided not to pick it up.

"Where did I learn from Tekken and Blade that your company, you acquired their copyright? Adapted as a hero comic?"

"Yes captain, I always think that superheroes are role models for this society. They do positive things and fight against evil. These deserve to be publicized. And heroes can also be injured and died. Superheroes are not a fixed income. Work. Hmm? Maybe the Avengers are excluded. "Li Jie looked at Rogers and said.

"So I acquired the copyright of these heroes and published their comics. Let their heroes spread widely, set an example for everyone, and also be able to share some copyright income with them."

"For example, Iron Fist and Blade I have signed a share agreement with both of them. Their comics are selling well, and he can get a lot of copyright points. From January this year to the current four months, Iron Fist and Blade I have paid their royalties of $ 200,000 each. As long as they continue to be heroes and continue to fight villains. To increase their popularity, their future comic sales will be higher and higher, and the share will be more and more. "Li Jie Roughly speaking about the company's copyright income.

Before the Blade and Iron Fist were not popular in the public view, comic sales were only average, so royalties were not high. Now Marvel sells the best is the "Spider-Man" series, the second ranked is the "Night Walker" series.

The royalties paid to Peter Parker have accumulated to more than one million US dollars, and have begun to talk about the agency business with peripheral animation and peripheral manufacturers. It is foreseeable that Peter's future income will be an astronomical figure.

The story of the Spider-Man series is designed to be relatively sunny, and it is taken by all ages. The story of the Night Walker series is set by the editor in favor of thick and dark, which belongs to the stories that adults watch, so the sales are not comparable to Spider-Man.

Rogers nodded. "Although your company is still small, I like your idea, so I came to you."

Li Jie raised his eyebrows. "How to say."

"You know, Hawkeye has been in trouble recently. He needs a sum of money, so he wants to sell his image copyright and can provide some of the battle stories he has experienced without mentioning the SHIELD secrets As a comic adaptation material. "Rogers poured out the real intention.

Li Jie shook his head when he heard it. "Excuse me captain, Agent Hawkeye Button. Recently, it has been very hot. But none of his news is positive. To be honest, I dare not even let the image of Hawkeye appear on any of our company ’s comics. , Not even a cameo. Not to mention his solo comics. "

"Now it's all cursing on the Internet, about the fact that he deducted the commission from the waitress. Some people have already shouted that SHIELD should expel this scum." Li Jie said the truth, so Rogers can't refute.

"At least in the last one or two years, the name Eagle Eye is worthless. Not only is it worthless, it will even lower the company's sales." Li Jie spread his hand and said that the name Eagle Eye has been completely stinked by Deadpool.

"So can't you sell it?" Rogers was disappointed. He was ready to leave.

"It's not impossible. There is an investment called pre-investment. I believe his reputation will come back after Eagle Eye." Li Jie thought that as long as the Battle of New York broke out, even if Eagle Eye had fallen into the ink pit before, it would be washed.

"However, the royalties cannot be the same as Tekken and Blade." Li Jie first gave Captain Rogers a preventive shot.

"So how much can there be?" Rogers knew that Hawkeye was about to be collapsed by the Deadpool, and now he just wanted to get the money earlier to send the Deadpool away.

"One million dollars." Li Jie smiled.

"One million?" Rogers was surprised.

"One million dollars, I can pay in one lump sum. But I have to buy the entire copyright of Eagle Eye for the next ten years ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ including hand-made peripherals, even big movies and games that will be launched later. Within ten years, these incomes will no longer give Eagle Eye agents any royalties. "Li Jie said that he did not do good deeds completely.

"After all, the name Hawkeye is useless in the next two or three years. It takes a lot of time and energy to run him."

Rogers groaned for a while, and he did not know whether Li Jie's condition was good or not. He decided to go home first and ask Hawkeye his opinion.

"In fact, compared to Hawkeye, Captain Rogers, you are the real star in S.H.I.E.L.D." Li Jie took a sip of black coffee and took a frosted sugar donut.

Captain Rogers, who was still thinking, asked Li Jie with some doubts. "what?"

Li Jie finished the doughnut in three bites and patted the frosting powder left on his hand. "Do you know how much Coca-Cola spent this year to make Captain America Steve Rogers look like it was printed on the packaging of their Coke bottles?"

"What?" Rogers was confused. He couldn't figure out what Li Jie was talking about.

Li Jie smiled helplessly as Rogers looked confused. "Thirty million dollars, this is only one year's endorsement fee. But I think the money should not have been credited to your account, right, Captain Rogers."
