Xu Zhidao: "It is estimated that it will be in another month, by the way, how about our new weekly application?"

In Japan, applying for a weekly magazine requires a lot of government procedures, all of which are handled by Ichiro Takizawa.

Ichiro Takizawa replied: "The procedure has been completed, but the name of this weekly, please ask the chairman to personally name one?"

"Name?" Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Then let's call it Weekly Boy Magic!"

"Weekly Junior Magic, okay, then I'll apply for that name later. Ichiro Takizawa nodded and said, in Japan, the name of the manga weekly starts with the word "Weekly Shonen", such as Weekly Shonen Sunday is the number one manga weekly in Shogakukan, and Weekly Shonen Jump is a manga published by Shueisha, which is currently ranked first in the whole of Japan.

Previously, he was most worried that the chairman would choose a Chinese name, which would easily cause rejection by many Japanese teenagers.

Xu Zhi continued: "Since the weekly will be approved soon, next week, I will arrange for my colleagues in Xiangjiang to bring you the characters in these comics, and you must prepare for the early publicity."

In terms of funding, I will allocate another 5 billion yen to you, part of which will be used to continue to open branches, and the other part will be used to promote bookstores and manga weekly, and this first manga weekly will definitely be an instant hit. ”

"Thank you, Chairman, I won't let you down. Ichiro Takizawa hurriedly bowed and thanked, 5 billion yen, which is nothing in front of some large Japanese companies, but in the bookstore and manga industry, it is already a very large amount of money.

With such a large amount of capital, the company will inevitably be able to expand more rapidly.

"As long as you do things well, the future will naturally not treat you badly. Xu Zhi smiled and drew a big pie, 5 billion yen is 20 million US dollars, this kind of investment is actually a drop in the bucket compared to the income that can be obtained from future comics, not to mention that many of them will also invest in physical properties, even if the comics are not done, these stores can make a few times by the end of the 80s.

"Thank you, Chairman. Ichiro Takizawa bowed again and asked, "Chairman, I wonder if the Japanese branch is in charge of the weekly printing business?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "This part will be in charge of the Xiangjiang headquarters in the future, and we will build a large printing factory in Xiangjiang, which will be responsible for all printing and printing business."

However, in the early days of manga release, it was still necessary for the printing house in Japan to take care of it, and you were also responsible for this part. ”

As early as the middle of last year, after acquiring the Weicheng Company and acquiring the land in Tin Shui Wai, Xu Zhi began to arrange for several of his more profitable companies to prepare for the construction of factories in Tin Shui Wai, thereby boosting the local economy and preparing for the construction of new towns.

In the middle of last year, the printing plant was put into construction, and the equipment was purchased from Germany, and the factory has been built and the equipment is being commissioned, but there is still a buffer period for full production.

"Okay, I see. Takizawa Ichiro has some disappointment in his heart, many manga weekly magazines in Japan are published in Japan, in a capitalist society, the more people can control the employment, the greater its influence, as an ambitious person, he naturally hopes that the larger the scale of his company, the better.

Xu Zhi continued: "There is one more thing you need to do?"

"Chairman, please speak. Ichiro Takizawa said.

Xu Zhi said, "Although I have my own comic team in Xiangjiang, I also hope that Kadokawa Bookstore will also have its own comic force.

There is a large number of manga talent in Japan, so you can open a separate manga studio under Kadokawa Shoten to attract Japanese talent, or you can simply buy other studios and build this team, or you can learn from each other with the employees at the Xiangjiang headquarters. ”

"No problem, I'm going to do my best. Ichiro Takizawa assured.

"Okay, then let's do it for now, I have an important guest to meet in the afternoon, you can go with me. Xu Zhi nodded and said.

Ichiro Takizawa nodded and said, "Yes, chairman." ”

……

Imperial Hotel Tokyo.

Xu Zhi and Ichiro Takizawa were led by the waiter and entered a private room on the top floor.

As soon as he entered the room, Ichiro Takizawa saw the guests sitting across from the wine table, and immediately exclaimed, "Mr. Matsushita!"

"Hello, Mr. Matsushita. Xu Zhi walked over with a smile and shook hands and greeted. The person who made the appointment was none other than Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of the Panasonic Group and the god of Japanese management.

"Hello, Mr. Matsushita. Ichiro Takizawa said with a slightly excited bow.

"You may be seated. Konosuke Matsushita greeted with a smile, "The steak here is very famous, if you are interested, you can try it, I highly recommend it." ”

"Okay, let's have a steak, medium-rare, black pepper sauce. Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Konosuke Matsushita's hair was gray, but he still looked full of energy, and he personally poured Xu Zhi a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "When I was young, I liked to come here to order a steak alone, watching the singers dance, but unfortunately, now that I am old, I can't eat much steak, otherwise this stomach can't stand it." ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Mr. Panasonic is old and strong, I admire you very much that you are still running for the company, if it were me, I would have retired a long time ago to enjoy Qingfu." ”

Konosuke Matsushita is 87 years old this year, and he resigned as chairman of the company as early as ten years ago, but this is only from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, he is still the controller of the largest electronic empire of the Panasonic Group, at most because of physical reasons, will not participate in too many details of the company's development, but the strategic planning is still up to him.

Panasonic Group and Midea Electronics do not have much intersection in business, this time Xu Zhilai Tokyo originally wanted to deal with the matter of Kadokawa Bookstore, but he did not expect to receive an invitation from Konosuke Matsushita.

Konosuke Matsushita shook his head and smiled: "Life has worked hard all my life to achieve this achievement, which I admire very much Mr. Xu, who seized the opportunity of the development of the times, and can develop to this point with only one game, in the era I once had, I can't imagine it." ”

"Every era has different opportunities, with the development of science and technology and economic globalization, maybe people in the future only need to seize the opportunity once, it is possible to create a group that is larger than Panasonic and Midea. Xu Zhi said with a smile.

"That's right, for example, Apple, which started from a garage and has a market value of billions of dollars in a few years, makes me an old man who is simply puzzled, I understand the prospects of the personal computer market, but I don't understand why Apple can have such achievements now!" said Konosuke Matsushita.

"The current capital market is not based on the company's profitability, but on the company's future, many companies lose money every year, but the stock can keep rising, which is the reason. Xu Zhi replied with a smile that although it has not yet reached the Internet era, venture capital in this era has been formed, which is actually one of the important reasons why Silicon Valley in the United States can develop.

Konosuke Matsushita nodded and said, "Actually, I know this, but I just think it's incredible." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Then I don't know what advice Mr. Matsushita asked me to come here today?"

Konosuke Matsushita said, "I heard that Mr. Xu has some misunderstandings with Sony?"

"Mr. Matsushita won't be here to mediate, right?" Xu Zhi smiled and said, the contradiction between Midea and Sony is now known to the entire global electronics industry, Sony has invested a huge amount of money to enter the game field, and Midea and Atari are in full swing in the market, and Midea's profits in the game field have dropped a lot.

Konosuke Matsushita smiled: "Of course not, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, I hope that Matsushita and Midea can cooperate in many aspects and develop together!"
