Okubo was not very determined, after all, he knew better than anyone what kind of life he was living in Neon, and he was very shaken in his heart, not sure if he wanted to continue to persevere.

Now there is finally someone who is willing to give him money to spend, but at the cost of losing his autonomy, he has to serve the other party and draw comics according to the other party's wishes. From a manga artist to a gunman, an artist, and an assistant, this is something Okubo couldn't accept in the first place.

But what can't be accepted is the original him, now he has tasted enough of the warmth and coldness of the world, and has suffered all the hardships of having no money, what he lacks now is a step.

And Zhang Bing undoubtedly provided this step.

While listening to Zhang Bing's persuasion, Okubo quietly looked at the expression of the young man opposite, and found that the other party had been looking at him with a smile, and Okubo quickly withdrew his gaze. At the same time, I wanted to see the other party look confident, and I was even more apprehensive, thinking that my refusal just now would not offend the other party, if I really lost this job, returned to neon, and lived that precarious life, Okubo himself was not sure how long he could last.

In fact, his concerns are justified. Zhou Fangyuan really has no shortage of him who draws comics, if Zhou Fangyuan is willing to spend money, he can choose any young cartoonist in Neon China.

Although Neon's comic industry is famous all over the world, only a few characters at the top of the pyramid can really make money, and a large number of young cartoonists, especially those who are not well-known, even have to work to make ends meet while drawing comics.

For example, Yuhiko Inoue, who famously created "Slam Dunk", had to rely on part-time jobs to support himself when "Slam Dunk" first started to be serialized. Even if Slam Dunk has become popular, he can't afford to hire an assistant for a long time, so he can only do everything himself, working more than ten hours a day. Knowing that the economic situation improved later, I hired 4 assistants at one time, which is why the picture suddenly became refined in the middle of the seventh episode.

Of course, Okubo can also be an assistant to those manga artists who have become famous when he returns to China, after all, his drawing skills are still quite solid. But it's not a good job to be an assistant to a big cartoonist, not to mention the intensity of work, if you can't be the main assistant of a big cartoonist, you will have an income of three or four million yen a year, which is equivalent to less than 200,000 soft girl coins.

With an annual income of less than 200,000 soft girl coins, it is already difficult to support yourself in a place like Tokyo. It is conceivable what kind of life these cartoonists lived before they became famous.

So when Zhou offered to hire Okubo, Okubo's first reaction was anger, and he was unwilling to lose his autonomy and become a painting machine. But when he thought about his life in the past few years, his heart was actually a little shaken in an instant. It's just that he can't afford to lose face, so he stubbornly disagreed, but fortunately, Zhang Bing stood up at this time, no matter what Zhang Bing's purpose was, but this step was too in place, Okubo took a long breath in his heart, and sat down on the opposite side of the conference table again.

"Okay, since Zhang Sang you requested, I'll stay in Huaxia for a while. ”

Saying this, he glanced at Zhou Fangyuan again, and Zhou Fangyuan still looked like he was smiling, which made Okubo quite discouraged. He didn't know what kind of monster was sitting in front of him, and he was so young that he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Dong Chou, Mr. Kubo agreed to stay......"

Zhang Bing didn't know Okubo's thoughts, and when he saw that he had really persuaded the other party, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief while being happy. Good guy, if this is taken away by this goods, although it has nothing to do with you, it will not be good if you make your boss unhappy.

Zhou Fangyuan sat next to him, watching the respective performances of the two people in front of him, and he just felt funny in his heart. But he didn't think much about it, good birds choose trees to perch, this is a very normal choice. The reason why he chose to bring Okubo at this time was because he saw that his life was unsatisfactory, so he had a great deal of confidence that he would stay in Huaxia.

On the contrary, if it is a big cartoonist who has also become famous, or a young cartoonist who has already been serialized and has good grades, it is not so easy to keep the other party in Huaxia.

"You did a good job," Zhou Fangyuan first praised Zhang Bing lightly, and after provoking the other party, he turned his head to look at Okubo, "Mr. Kubo Dairen, I am very happy that you can make such a choice, so now let's talk about the specific salary." The remuneration I give you is currently two options. One is a single-page remuneration, each of which is calculated according to 50 yuan soft sister coins, and the other is that I directly give you a salary, 5,000 yuan soft girl coins per month. Of course,I want to make it clear in advance,This remuneration is not fixed,If you complete the task I gave you,And when you start creating your own comics,We can calculate the remuneration according to the normal serial form,If you can publish a single book and anime peripherals,I will also give you a certain percentage of the copyright fee,In short,If it's a comic you created yourself,All income can be in accordance with the rules of Neon.。 But I have a requirement, before you can create your own comics, you must first complete the task I gave you, and this is the only prerequisite. ”

This passage is a bit complicated, and Zhang Bingfei took a lot of effort to translate it.

After hearing this, the expression on Okubo's face did not change, and he nodded slightly, indicating that he generally agreed with such a plan.

"In addition, you have come to Beitong thousands of miles away, and I, as the host, should provide you with the convenience of life, so during your time in Beitong, all the accommodation expenses are covered by our company, what you want to eat can be said to Zhang Bing, what you want to buy can also be said, theoretically, as long as it is related to your life and work, we will support it unconditionally. Similarly, if you are not willing to accept such a plan and want to go out and find a place to live by yourself, it is okay, according to the general living conditions in Huaxia, we can provide you with 1,000 yuan per month for living expenses, which is enough for you to rent a house and live in it for three meals a day. ”

Zhou Fangyuan continued.

When Zhang Bing mentioned his translation, he had already automatically converted the soft girl coin into yen, so that Okubo could more easily understand how much money he could get, although after 1000 soft girl coins were converted into yen, it was actually not much. But Zhang Bing also explained to him that the consumption level here in Beitong is very low, and 1,000 yuan is enough to do a lot of things, so that Okubo put down the last worries in his heart.

After some careful consideration, Okubo finally decided that if he was to be paid, he would be paid a fixed monthly salary according to the second option. In terms of life, he also chose the second option, he asked for the 1,000 yuan soft sister coin, and he wanted to choose a residence that he was satisfied with.

Zhou Fangyuan has no problem here, with an expenditure of less than 10,000 yuan a month, he can keep such a talent in his hands, no matter how you look at it, it is earned.

After discussing the specific remuneration payment method, the content of today's short meeting was over, Zhou Fangyuan stood up and shook hands with Okubo.

"Then I would like to officially welcome Mr. Kubo to my company, and believe me, you will be honored to make today's decision in the future. ”

"I hope so. ”

Although he couldn't say whether he was happy or uncomfortable in his heart, Okubo still bowed politely to Zhou Fangyuan. It's a pity that Zhou Fangyuan is still not used to this kind of etiquette, so he didn't react at all, watching the other party bow to himself.

"Zhang Bing, you take him back to the hotel to rest, you can go to the finance for the money to open the room later, and I will greet them." In addition, you tell Mr. Kubo that he can play in Kitaki these days, relax his mind, and adjust to the jet lag by the way, and in three days, I will hand over the story I prepared to him, and then we will discuss the creation of manga in detail. ”

"Yes, Dong Chou, I understand. ”

Zhang Bing hurriedly said.

Zhou Fangyuan nodded, turned around and left the conference room. Only Zhang Bing and Okubo were left in the conference room, and the two of them looked at each other and both laughed. It's just that the meaning of this smile is different, after all, the mood of these two people is completely different.

Besides, Zhou Fangyuan, when he left the conference room, he turned around and entered the third brother's office directly.

The third brother was sitting in front of the computer crackling on the keyboard, and when he saw Zhou Fangyuan coming in, he hurriedly pushed the keyboard aside.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Fangyuan walked straight to the third brother's side, and when he saw that the other party was hurriedly closing a QQ chat window, he couldn't help laughing.

"Third brother, you're also fashionable, what's the matter, chatting with a netizen?

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just talking. ”

The third brother's face was a little embarrassed, he closed the chat window and didn't say anything, and even turned off the monitor to prevent Zhou Fangyuan from seeing his chat content, and then he looked up at Zhou Fangyuan, "How are you over there?"

"Well, that's the end of the conversation, and everything is going well. ”

Zhou Fangyuan nodded and sat on the third brother's desk.

"I really can't understand your thoughts," the third brother leaned back and leaned back in the office chair, "Tell me about you, what is going on in your head, we have a lot of things now, what else do you want to do, what is the meaning of that thing?

The third brother said, lit a cigarette for himself, and handed one to Zhou Fangyuan at the same time.

There was a look of exhaustion on his face, he only came back this morning, and the things on the treasure island side have been negotiated, 3 million, and directly bought all the copyright and R&D team of the entire king of kings, at most a week, the production team on the treasure island side will come to Beitong with the game.

Zhou Fangyuan waved his hand and refused the cigarette handed over by the third brother, he tilted his head, looked at the third brother and smiled.

"Third brother, don't underestimate comics, comics are done well, and there is a lot to be done, and comics can be combined with many things, if they are done well, this is a big industry, and even games can be linked. ”
