We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

That evening, Su Cheng once again used his new computer to put Xiao Ai to work.

Anyway, he didn't have to do it himself; he could lie on the sofa in the study and do whatever he wanted.

Now that he had decided to work on manga, he first needed to create detailed outlines for several manga series.

However, before that, Su Cheng decided to have Xiao Ai print out a wuxia novel first.

"A Step into the Past" had been serialized for three months already. Since it was already being filmed as a TV series, he should speed up the serialization.

The 40 episodes of "A Step into the Past" wouldn't last long on air.

When the newspaper serialization was about to end, he could release a complete book and reap another wave of funds.

Compared to newspapers, the paid readership for a complete book was much larger.

"Knight-Errant Literature" was basically distributed in Hong Kong, with some market share in Taiwan, Singapore, and Macau at most. It would be difficult to expand the market further.

But publishing a complete book was different. As long as there were Chinese people and sales channels could be expanded, there would be no shortage of buyers.

As the fame of "A Step into the Past" grew, even in Chinatowns in Europe, America, Japan, and Korea, many people had heard of this novel.

However, due to geographical issues, it was too difficult for them to collect all the issues of "Knight-Errant Literature."

But publishing a book was different. They wouldn't have to find ways to buy the newspaper to read the entire story.

Therefore, it was time for a novel to replace "A Step into the Past."

Since he was going to Knight-Errant Literature Media Company anyway, he might as well create another wuxia novel.

Su Cheng didn't plan to create too many wuxia novels; two would be enough.

In the future, he had many other types of novels he wanted to create.

With Jin Yong's retirement in 1972, Liang Yusheng's retirement in the early 1980s, and Gu Long's death, it already represented the gradual decline of the wuxia novel genre.

Although there were still masters like Wen Ruian and Huang Yi supporting it, it was no longer the golden age of wuxia.

This time, Su Cheng still chose Huang Yi's work, one of his masterpieces: "Twin of Brothers."

At that time, there were quite a few book fans like him in the class.

Even during class, some students would secretly stack the novel in front of their academic textbooks.

This shows how popular this novel was at that time.

Therefore, since he had already created "A Step into the Past," Su Cheng simply had Xiao Ai create "Twin of Brothers" as well.

Last time, Xiao Ai controlled the old computer and printed "A Step into the Past" for more than an hour.

This time, "Twin of Brothers" had more than two million more words than "A Step into the Past." Under Xiao Ai's control, with four printers working non-stop, it only took less than half an hour. This shows that Xiao Ai's current work efficiency is not bad at all.

With it in control, things like the computer and printer overheating and stopping are impossible.

After creating "Twin of Brothers," Xiao Ai began working on detailed manga outlines.

Without Su Cheng having to consider what type of manga to create, Xiao Ai directly created 10 representative works.

"Dragon Ball," "One Piece," "Naruto," "Slam Dunk," "Digimon," "Detective Conan," "Inuyasha," "Bleach," "Hunter x Hunter," "Kingdom."

The number of words in these outlines is not small at all. "One Piece," serialized until the era before Su Cheng's transmigration, already had more than a thousand episodes and had not ended.

The same goes for "Detective Conan," which also had more than a thousand episodes when serialized until the era before Su Cheng's transmigration, and had not yet ended.

Even "Naruto" had 720 episodes before it ended.

Therefore, once a manga becomes popular, it can really allow a mangaka or even an animation company to keep earning money.

However, Su Cheng didn't have Xiao Ai create all the detailed manga outlines, only enough for a year's worth of serialization.

This amount of work was too simple for Xiao Ai.

"Xiao Ai, can you print out the main character images of these manga using the computer?" Su Cheng thought of a question.

"Master, due to the performance limitations of this computer, I cannot do it to that extent. However, I can try to use the drawing function to create manga character images composed of black and white pixels," Xiao Ai reported.

Xiao Ai's words were simple: it had to draw them itself, instead of directly extracting and uploading and downloading from the database like text.

Because this computer simply could not handle real images.

"That's enough!" Su Cheng said.

He didn't expect Xiao Ai to be able to directly create the manga at this time. After all, due to the influence of computer technology, being able to do this was already very good.

Soon, as the printer started working again, Son Goku, Son Gohan, Son Goten, the Ox-King, Chi-Chi, Master Roshi, Luffy, Monkey, Usopp, etc., one by one, the characters appeared in Su Cheng's eyes through the printer.

Perhaps because Xiao Ai had to draw them itself, the speed slowed down a lot. After it drew all the main characters of these 10 manga, another half an hour had passed.

This shows that it is very unrealistic to have Xiao Ai directly draw manga.

It's better to directly hire a manga artist to ghostwrite.

With detailed outlines, unless they are too stupid, the art style shouldn't change too much.

Otherwise, he can't rely on Xiao Ai to do everything. Although Su Cheng doesn't have to do it himself, it takes up his time. Who told Xiao Ai to be in his mind!

It's better to use this time to flirt with girls and look at the scenery.

After binding the printed manga character images and related manga outlines, Su Cheng put them all into his handbag.

In the bedroom, Zhong Chuhong was lying there, staring in the direction of the door.

Seeing Su Cheng walk in, she finally showed a sweet smile.

When Su Cheng was working in the study, she would not go in to disturb him.

She still knows what things should be done and what things should not be done.

Zhong Chuhong, who came from a poor family, is much more mature and stable in this regard than other ordinary girls.
