Sun Renchao is the founder of Clement Cards Company. He has been from the United States for four or six years. He started working as a small workshop and took decades to find the current situation. Now he wants to sell his life's hard work to Jester, so he is naturally extremely reluctant to leave.

In the past two days, Jester took him to walk around the entire company, the factories and other places. Looking at the saplings planted when the company started, they have grown into towering trees, but now they have to give up their foundation. Although they have made a decision long ago, it is still difficult for Sun Renchao to say it.

Therefore, the contract was delayed until the last moment when the symposium with the mainland was about to be held.

Jester, who had been with the other party for the past two days, also warned the other party with some dissatisfaction, either signing the contract as soon as possible or breaking up in one fell swoop.

So, although he felt extremely unbearable, Sun Renchao still agreed to sign the contract.

"Xiaojie, I am also your elder. Tell me one thing, what do you want to buy this card factory?" Sun Renchao stroked the trunk of a tree he planted in the factory. After a long time of silence, he asked Jester a question.

Jester hesitated for a moment before speaking: "It's also a printing card. I can't say the specific ones, but it's not a playing card, it's a card game I just conceived."

Hearing Jester's reply, a smile appeared on Sun Renchao's old face. He nodded and said in a grateful tone: "Just don't tear this down. I'll do this in my life. If it weren't for my evil son, I wouldn't have sold my life's hard work no matter what."

Jester did not respond, and Sun Renchao just said to himself, "After finishing these chores this time, I decided to go back to the mainland to settle..."

In fact, Jester didn't say the whole thing. He planned to continue making cards, but he didn't say he wouldn't tear down the card making factory.

In the end, Jester reached an agreement with Sun Renchao in the name of Fengxing Game Distribution Company to complete the acquisition, with a total price of US$4 million to acquire all equity shares of Clement Cards.

The company's employees are quite sensitive to the things like changing bosses. After all, Sun Renchao has grown the company bit by bit.

Moreover, the company's employees are also active now. After all, the work has been shut down for half a month, and several best-selling poker brands in the factory have been sold before. Most people are not optimistic about the new boss, and they all think that it was just the boss who took the blame.

So there are signs that many employees are planning to leave on a large scale.

This situation is something that Jester doesn't want to see. The biggest reason why he is willing to buy Clement Cards is that they have sales channels covering the entire United States, West, the United States and China, and even the United States and East China. However, the sales channels of fast-moving consumer goods such as card companies are accurately in the hands of salesmen. If a large number of salesmen resign, even if this channel cannot be cut off, it will be greatly damaged.

Fortunately, Chinese employees account for the majority of Clement's company, and the main sales channels were also produced by these Chinese employees following Sun Renchao. Chinese are also nostalgic. After some white and black employees have already made requests to resign, these people are just watching what new bosses have taken.

In fact, printing cards is an industry with very little technical content. How much you can sell depends entirely on the skills of salesmen. Therefore, these people also think that if the new boss still plans to continue making cards, they will definitely be valued.

Besides, to be honest, it is really difficult for Chinese to find jobs in the United States today. Most of them still work in Chinese companies through the Chinese Federation, and it is difficult to find a suitable one for now.

Jester didn't want to see these skilled salesmen leave, especially those who had previously performed well, so he immediately announced that Clement will continue to do the card business in the future, but it is no longer the kind of playing cards in the past, but it is a new original card game that has never appeared on the market.

As for what type of card game it is, Jester did not say explicitly why hesitated to design it to keep it confidential.

Because the card design work has not started yet, the work cannot be started immediately. However, Jester also guarantees that the work will definitely start normally within one month, and the salary will be paid within the month of suspension.

In fact, what Jester said was nonsense. Most of the printing workers were white and black. These people did not have as many concerns as Chinese. When Clement's company stopped production, a large number of them proposed to resign. However, because Sun Renchao was really unable to pay off the wages of these people at that time, he gave up.

This time, when these people saw that there was a scapegoat who came to take over, they immediately continued to resign. Jester didn't care much about the resignation of these front-line workers. He approved all those who wanted to resign, whether white, black or Chinese, to compensate for wages and unemployment benefits. In his opinion, he did not even plan to run the printing factory for a long time.

In his future concept, Clement America will only be responsible for the design and sales of cards in the future, and will move production and manufacturing with low technical content to places with relatively low labor costs, such as the mainland that is now being reopened.

The labor cost in the United States is too high now. If a person earns a monthly salary, he can hire workers in a workshop when he gets it.

And the quality produced will not be worse than that of the United States.

In comparison of labor costs, who would like to engage in manufacturing in the United States?

Qin Duanyu is the only painter left in Clement Cards, and the rest have resigned.

He is not a Chinese, but an overseas Chinese.

He lived in a cowshed in a ten-year catastrophe and swam across the street with an iron hat. He was once a student of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. When he was young, he learned fine brushwork paintings from famous teachers. He studied oil paintings at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He could have stayed at school after graduation, but because of the bad ingredients, he suffered in the catastrophe. After the catastrophe, he returned to school and applied for a quota to study abroad.

After coming to the United States, he studied at the Dishi Academy of Fine Arts of New York University for two years. He was also familiar with the characteristics of Eastern and Western paintings and was extremely good at painting characters. He also did not want to return to the backward mainland after seeing the prosperity of the United States. Therefore, he would rather be a black household to draw illustrations for tourists in some squares, earning a little dollars to survive, and living a life worse than pigs and dogs. But even so, he would not be willing to return to China as the school has promised him, a respected professorship position in China.

Originally, his life might have been wasted so until he was unsustainable and was illegally detained by the Immigration Department to return to his country, but it was time to do so.

Two years ago, Sun Renchao accidentally met Qin Duanyu who was painting for others. In his early years, he was also from a scholarly family and also saw that Qin Duanyu had extraordinary achievements in painting. It just so happened that his own company lacked a painter. After learning about Qin Duanyu's experience, he helped him solve his identity problem and gave him a job.

So Qin Duanyu was extremely grateful to Sun Renchao. Even when Clement Cards Company was in the most dangerous situation, he did not have the idea of ​​leaving.

In recent years, the poker cards he drew illustrations sold well and had a little reputation in the industry. Therefore, before Clement planned to sell this time, several similar manufacturers came to him, hoping that he could get over, but Qin Duanyu refused.

When Jester saw Qin Duanyu, he didn't believe his eyes. He knew from Sun Renchao that this talented artist was only 37 years old, but looking at his white temples and deep eyes, if he hadn't known his exact age, Jester would definitely think that the other party was in his fifties.

"I like your character illustrations very much."

Jester was holding a stack of drawing paper in his hand, with portraits of characters, all of which were celebrities from the American Civil War period. Everyone had their own characteristics and different styles, and there was no similarity at all. This was a poker that Clement had previously launched with the theme of Civil War. Once it was launched, the situation was instantly opened.

Qin Duanyu just smiled and didn't say anything, but a look of pride flashed in his eyes. This was indeed the work he was proud of. After all, his work once made a lot of money for Clement and was once one of the company's main products.

Jester didn't care either. He took out a manuscript paper he had written long ago, with names on it, all from ancient Europe. He handed the manuscript paper to Qin Duanyu. Jester smiled and said, "Look at these people, do you know them all?"

Qin Duanyu took the manuscript paper with curiosity and looked at the contents on it. After a while, his eyebrows frowned. He kept reading the first name on the manuscript paper to the last name before he took a deep breath and put the manuscript paper back on the table.

Then he shook his head and said, "I can only say that I know most of them. When I was at New York University, I was very interested in European history. I studied the history of the Charlemagne era and obtained a degree. These seem to be famous people from that time, and some of them only exist in legends and stories. However, there are very few historical materials in that period in Europe, and even fewer names can be left behind. I think it may be fabricated."

After hearing his reply, Jester showed a satisfied smile. He no longer said too much nonsense, but said directly: "I want you to draw illustrations of these people. For those familiar to ordinary people, you should draw them in line with their image in the minds of ordinary people. For those fabricated and only exist in the story, you can use them casually, but you must design them with characteristics and not the same."

Seeing Qin Duanyu nodding and simply saying that there was no problem, Jester felt relieved.

From the poker illustration with the theme of Civil War, he saw that Qin Duanyu really had a high talent in designing characters, so he suddenly had a whim to give the job to him. He originally wanted to hand over the task of character illustration to those painters who were entertaining Mars.

However, thinking of the heavy tasks of Mars Entertainment in recent times, he casually asked Sun Renchao's original painter level in the company.

Unexpectedly, Sun Renchao said to Jester with a little smugness: "I am also a scholarly family. I also learned painting when I was young. A painter named Qin Duanyu in my company, who comes from China, has a very high level. From my perspective, he is at least a self-contained figure."

Then he sighed, "If it were a painter of his level in the past, he would definitely be a famous artist."

It was precisely because of Sun Renchao's praise that Jester was curious. He first found the original illustrations that Qin Duanyu had drawn before. When he saw it, he immediately felt that the other party was a rare talent, so he had a previous question.

However, Jester has a very tight time. He hopes that within a month, the first card game he designed, which he named "World Storm" will be officially released, so he asked Qin Duanyu how long it took to complete the drawing of the character image.

"Three months." Qin Duanyu said very casually. Facing Jester's question, he still answered as simply as before.

Jester also knew that it was really time-consuming to complete these dozens of characters of all kinds, but he still continued to ask: "Can't you be faster? For example, a month?"

"Haha." Qin Duanyu looked at Jester in surprise when he heard what he said, then chuckled and replied simply, "Sir, do you think painting can be steamed in a pot at a time?"

Seeing Jester's face showing a disappointed look, Qin Duanyu also frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "If the sir can match me with a few suitable assistants, it is not impossible to complete it within a month..."

"What!" This time, Jester's face showed a look of extreme surprise. He asked incredible ways, "Did Mr. Qin say before that one person completed it within three months?"

"Yes." Qin Duanyu still nodded.

Within three months, Jester was a little unbelievable with dozens of character settings with different styles, including men and women.

He has made original painting settings for the game himself, especially the characters. A painter is always inevitably influenced by his previous works, especially the characters. Therefore, although the characters drawn by many painters have different appearances, they can still see many similarities from the details. In the eyes of many people, they are placed under the sun and cannot be hidden.

However, Jester thought of the characters in the poker he had just read carefully. Each character has its own characteristics. Even from the level of a half-baked painter, it seems that each image is created separately, and there is no similarity between each character.

Just this skill, this artist named Qin Duanyu is worthy of Sun Renchao's evaluation of his generation of famous artists.

So, Jester no longer doubted it, but asked directly: "Mr. Qin, is it easy to find the assistant you want?"

"Easy to find."

Qin Duanyu nodded, but after saying that, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Li, there are actually many painters like me who come to the United States from the mainland to study and don't want to go back after learning. However, these people are not as lucky as me. They can get help from noble people and get a job that they are satisfied with. Most of them, like me a few years ago, have to go to restaurants to work in illegal work or go to places with many tourists to draw for people in exchange for some rewards that can only survive. These people are first-class painters in China, and their level is not inferior to me. Unexpectedly, when they come here, they can only do these jobs that are not allowed to go to the table."

Jace nodded. Even in his previous life, he had heard of these things.

At this time, America is heaven and hell.

But this is not his responsibility. Staying in the United States to live a life worse than a pig or dog is the voluntary of these people. He simply said: "Then Mr. Qin just go and look for it. Their treatment will be given according to the previous treatment of the painter of the Clement Company. I only require that within one month you will see the illustration of this character."

Qin Duanyu nodded and simply said four words.

“No problem.”
