"How long have you been waiting?"

Zhou Fangyuan walked out of the airport, and while walking towards the convoy that had been waiting for a long time, he asked his subordinates who had already caught up.

"It's all in accordance with the standards," the Yuanfang Group also has an office in Fuso, after all, it has cooperative relations with large magazines such as Shueisha, and the person who is speaking now is the second-in-command of the office, "After receiving the information, we immediately activated the plan that had been formulated before, and arrived at the airport 30 minutes before the plane landed as planned." ”

The young man named Hu Duo said quickly, handing an envelope to Zhou Fangyuan as he spoke.

"What is this?"

Zhou Fangyuan didn't open it, but asked directly.

"It's Shueisha, it's an invitation to invite you to a banquet tonight, you see ......"

"Shueisha ......"

Zhou Fangyuan opened the envelope, and inside was an invitation card, all written inside the invitation was in Chinese, and the last signature was Horiuchi Maruki, the president of Shueisha.

"You can arrange a time, besides, what is the situation on Capcom's side, have they expressed specific wishes?"

"Not yet, but it is said that Capcom's president, Kenzo Tsujimoto, is interested in distant games. ”

Hu Duo said.

"Help me get in touch, just recently, I want to meet him. ”

"Okay. ”

Hu Duo nodded, "Boss, the hotel has been booked for you, you go to wash up and rest first, and I'll make preparations." ”

Zhou Fangyuan nodded, didn't say anything, and opened the door directly to get into the car.

The date of the invitation was tonight, he was on the plane in the morning, and it was just early afternoon when he arrived in Fusang, and there were still several hours before the dinner, so Zhou Fangyuan had some time to clean up.

When he came to the hotel, Hu Duo left first, and he still had to make some preparations for tonight's dinner, such as Zhou Fangyuan's clothes and female companions, etc., which had to be prepared in advance. In fact, the problem of female companions is dispensable, Zhou Fangyuan is there to talk about things, not to simply socialize. But Hu Duo said that Shueisha had found him a good female companion, and now what Hu Duo had to do was to pick up the other party to the hotel.

Zhou Fangyuan took a shower, ate something, and then sat on the sofa and watched TV.

After watching TV for almost half an hour, there was a sudden knock on the door, Zhou Fangyuan got up and opened the door, there was Hu Duo standing outside the door, and a very beautiful woman, the moment he saw this woman, Zhou Fangyuan's expression appeared a moment of surprise, although he suppressed his surprise in an instant, but I have to say that he was really surprised.

Because he never thought that the female companion that Shueisha found for him was actually the famous actress Yoshizawa from Fuso's side.

Perhaps for the Chinese, Yoshizawa is a "teacher" that everyone respects, and her work is ...... Ahem, it's not very acceptable, of course, as an appreciator, you will definitely not care, and you may even think that the other party's acting skills are really good, but if you want someone's girlfriend or wife to engage in the same career, it is estimated that it is unacceptable to individuals.

But on the Fuso side, Teacher Yoshizawa's work is acceptable to the public, not only acceptable, but even many people think that her work is very good, at least there will not be too much discrimination and prejudice.

"Boss, this Miss Yoshizawa is your girlfriend tonight. ”

Hu Duo said, his expression obviously a little unnatural.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan knew what he was thinking, and when he looked at it suddenly, it seemed that Shueisha was humiliating Zhou Fangyuan by doing this. After all, no matter what, such a teacher, well, who is engaged in special work, came to be a female companion for the boss of a big consortium like Zhou Fangyuan, and if he said it, he would probably be laughed to death. But since they arranged it like this, Zhou Fangyuan didn't intend to refuse at present, and he had reason to believe that the other party must not have deliberately humiliated him. Otherwise, it's okay to just refuse to sell the shares, so why bother doing this? Maybe the other party thinks that there is nothing wrong with this, but it seems to be very sincere.

"Come in first. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said, getting out of the way of the door.

Hu Duo saw that the boss had said so, so he could only turn sideways and guide Teacher Yoshizawa into the room.

But Hu Duo didn't follow up, "Boss, the costumes are ready, and the other work is ready." You rest first, and I'll come to you when the time is almost right. ”

"Okay, you can go down and rest too. ”

Zhou Fangyuan expressed his concern for employees.

"It's okay, I'm not tired, you get busy first...... Ahem, I'll go first. ”

Hu Duo suddenly realized that his words were not very accurate, so he could only cough twice, quickly cover it up, and then turn his head and leave.

After Hu Duo left, Zhou Fangyuan closed the door, turned around again, and saw that the famous teacher was standing in the room very restrained, looking left and right.

I have to say that in terms of appearance, Mr. Yoshizawa is Zhou Fangyuan's favorite type, if she is not engaged in a special profession, Zhou Fangyuan is very willing to communicate with her further, but it is a pity that although Zhou Fangyuan has no cleanliness, he is not a hungry beast, even if the people of this country feel that it doesn't matter, or even take it for granted, sometimes some people just do it because they lack money in hand, just like doing odd jobs in China. But to be honest, Zhou Fangyuan couldn't accept it. Within the scope of his acceptance, women don't necessarily have to be as guarded as jade, especially in modern society, this is impossible, not that there is none, but very little, according to a joke on the Internet in the previous life - if you want to find the original, at least you have to go to kindergarten - although it is a joke, but the development of domestic society has become like this now, Zhou Fangyuan is not old-fashioned, many things he can accept.

For example, the other party has had many boyfriends and has a very rich love life.

It's all OK, he doesn't mind if his girlfriend has had other boyfriends before, but if it's Yoshizawa-sensei...... To be honest, he really can't accept it, either because he thinks the other party is not clean, it's simple, it's a conflict of ideas.

So he looked at Yoshizawa, smiled at the other party, nodded slightly, and then reached out and motioned for the other party to sit down.

After the other party sat down, Zhou Fangyuan asked the other party in English what he wanted to drink, coffee, tea, and white water...... The other party said that white water is good.

Zhou Fangyuan poured a glass of water for the other party, said sorry, and turned around and entered the back room.

He made up his mind not to have any contact with the other party, mainly because he couldn't get over this pimple in his heart, but the person sent by Shueisha, if he refused directly, it would be a little unreasonable, so he simply let her sit outside by herself, and when the time for the banquet came, he would take her to the banquet with him, and then when the banquet was over, the two parted ways, it was as simple as that.

......

At six o'clock in the evening, Hu Duo came to the hotel again and knocked on Zhou Fangyuan's door.

Zhou Fangyuan had already prepared and took Ji Ze out, Hu Duo glanced back and forth between Zhou Fangyuan and Ji Ze with curious eyes, and all he got was Zhou Fang's gentle slap.

"Walk well, don't think nonsense. ”

"Yes!"

Hu Duo hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

This is his job, and he doesn't dare to offend Zhou Fangyuan. If Zhou Fangyuan didn't say anything, he would just take a look quietly. But Zhou Fangyuan was obviously a little unhappy now, and he didn't dare to look at it indiscriminately.

After getting out of the hotel and getting in the car, Hu Duo sat in the co-pilot, and the driver in the cab was from the branch and Hu Duo's colleague.

Zhou Fangyuan and Ji Ze sat in the back, this is an extended version of the car, and there is a lot of space in the back. Zhou Fangyuan took out two bottles of water from the Xiaoice box and handed one to Ji Ze.

Yoshizawa didn't speak the whole time, her English may not be very good, and Zhou Fangyuan didn't understand Japanese at all, so it was difficult to communicate. In addition, Zhou Fangyuan didn't want to communicate with her at all, just watch a small movie, and he didn't have that interest in real communication. Although speaking of which, the stars of the entertainment industry are no better than people like Mr. Yoshizawa, everyone comes out to mix, but the path is different. One is more hidden, the other is above board, no one cares about Fusang here, but Zhou Fangyuan cares. When I think of the person in front of me, he has acted in so many movies...... He wasn't interested at all.

As a result, the two sides were not only speechless for an afternoon, but even after that, they were speechless all the way, and Zhou Fangyuan still didn't know what it meant for Shueisha to arrange such a star for himself. Do they really not care about that? Or ...... Do they have some other ideas?

Zhou Fangyuan didn't know, and he didn't bother to know, he was just here to talk about business, and it didn't matter if he could negotiate it best, or if he couldn't.

The place of the banquet is in the house of the president of Shueisha, Horiuchi Maruki, and the specific location is not known to Zhou Fangyuan, but he knows that it is a high-end residential area around Tokyo, which is actually a high-end villa area, and the people who can live here are basically people who are either rich or noble.

The car went all the way and finally stopped in front of a gate, the intercom came out with an inquiring voice, the driver answered two words, the gate opened, and the car slowly entered it.

I have to say that this courtyard is still very beautiful, with green trees and flowers, although it is already dusk, the courtyard looks even more beautiful, and all the plants are covered with a layer of golden yellow.

Going deep into the courtyard, the car finally stopped in front of a small building. It is a small Japanese-style building, and it looks very simple.

Zhou Fangyuan got out of the car, Ji Ze followed him closely, and reached out to hold his arm.

Zhou Fangyuan could smell the fragrance coming from the other party, but unfortunately, he was not interested at all.

A waiter came to greet him and led him inside, and as soon as he entered the small building, he saw a fat old man appear in front of him.

"Welcome, my friend!"

This fat old man is Horiuchi Maru, who is not young this year, and his hair is gray, but his spirit is still very good, and he seems to be in good health.

Zhou Fangyuan shook hands with the other party, and Ji Ze was taken away, her status is poor after all, it is already the limit to be able to enter here, and further on, it is not a place she can reach.

Today is said to be a dinner party, but in fact it is a private meeting, there are only two people, Zhou Fangyuan and Horiuchi Maruchi, of course, and a translator. They are the only ones who talk secretly, and the others are not involved.

The food is those Japanese-style meals, the type that Zhou Fangyuan doesn't like very much, but there is no way, since it is in someone else's place, it is good to be a guest.

After eating something and drinking some wine, everyone officially chatted.

Horiuchi Maru invited Zhou Fangyuan to come over today, the main thing is to communicate his feelings. Nowadays, Shueisha is developing well all over the world, but in China, it is relatively unsmooth. The reasons are many, on the one hand, it is the ideological problem of the Chinese people. It's hard to say right or wrong, just the facts, that is, Chinese people generally believe that comics are for children, and even children can't read more, they should study seriously and grow more knowledge, rather than reading comics. Because of such an idea, the comics on Fusang's side have not been well promoted in China. Then there is the question of the subject matter, Huaxia naturally has its own set of rules and regulations, which is of course different from Fusang's side, and many of the content that will not be controlled in Fusang cannot appear casually in Huaxia, which is also a reason.

Finally, there is piracy, which is found all over the world, not just in China. But there are many people in China, there are many people, there are all kinds of people, and piracy can also be described as rampant in a certain period, piracy is rampant, and there is no way to survive if it is genuine, after all, the costs of both sides are completely different. Coupled with some Internet restrictions and so on, as a result, for a long time, Fuso's comics have not been able to develop in China.

Seeing that such a large market cannot be entered, Shueisha is also anxious.

Until the advent of the distant group.

As a subsidiary of Yuanfang Group, Yuanfang Comics operates independently, independently applies for approval, and after the introduction of comics, it is sent to the relevant domestic departments for review. The timeliness is higher, and there is basically no charge, so it is a very serious blow to piracy, no matter how cheap piracy is, it costs money, and there is always a risk that the physical book will be discovered by parents or teachers. As long as it's not the kind of person who likes it so much that you often have to take it out and look at it, the electronic version is actually more convenient than the physical version, and it's not easy to be discovered. And even if you change computers, as long as you can still access the Internet, you can continue to watch online, which is really convenient.

With the help of Distant Comics, many well-known comics under Shueisha can finally enter the Chinese market smoothly, although this has no obvious benefits for them at the moment, at least except for the agency fee of Distant Comics, there is no other income. But this is a good signal, as long as there are more people reading manga, the demand will be greater and greater, and in the end, sooner or later, when manga and anime will be popular, Shueisha can wait, all they want is an opportunity, and Zhou Fangyuan just provided this opportunity.

So for Zhou Fangyuan's arrival, Horiuchi Maru attaches great importance to it, not to mention the wheel understanding, the Yuanfang Group is a group that is even more than Shueisha, although it has only risen for a few years, but the development is too rapid, so whether it is from the strength of the company, or the future role, Horiuchi Maru will warmly entertain Zhou Fangyuan, and he must not make him feel unhappy.
