Chapter Forty-Nine: The Sun and Moon Society
This large stack of manuscripts is more than a few hundred pages, and after Taniyama Naoyoshi took it, he read it carefully, and as the manuscript turned page by page, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
A quarter of an hour later, Taniyama Naoyoshi probably finished reading part of the manuscript, took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of excitement.
Wu Ming saw that Taniyama Shangyi had finished reading the comics, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.
"Well, the quality of my "Soccer Player" and "Pokemon" is okay!"
Gu Shan Shangyi's voice trembled a little, and he replied excitedly: "Very good, very good." The quality of "Soccer Player" is the top batch even in "Weekly Shonen Jump", which is enough to support a comic book publishing house.
Although "Pokemon" is a sub-oriented comic, it will also be popular throughout the island country with the craze of Pokemon pet machines. Coupled with your "Overdrive YOYO", I am confident that I can grow the manga publishing house. ”
"Football Player" has just been serialized, so Taniyama Naoyoshi has not read this manga before. Even if I read it, the content of the two words that have just been serialized is not enough to judge the quality of "Football Player".
And this time, Wu Ming brought the content of "Football Player" and "Pokemon" with 20 words each, plus the entire content of "Speeding YOYO".
These manuscripts are already all of Wu Ming's deposits, and it can be seen how good the quality of these three comics is. To put it mildly, with these three comics, it is enough to support a medium-sized comic publishing house.
Even without these comics, Taniyama Shangyi would agree to Wu Ming's invitation after hesitating, after all, Wu Ming had money and could let him play. Now that he has these comics, he has the confidence to wrestle with the three major comic publishing houses.
Wu Ming smiled and replied, "So, Mr. Gu Shan agreed to my invitation. ”
"Yes, boss, I agreed to your invitation, please let me do it for you. ”
Wu Bingan watched his son subdue Gushan Shangyi on the side, and his face was also full of gratifying smiles. As for Aoki Kunichiro, he was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Wu Ming, the son of the chairman, to be so powerful, and in a few words, he persuaded the editor-in-chief of Shueisha to let him change jobs.
"Alright, Mr. Taniyama, it's time for us to talk about the development of the publishing house. ”
Hearing that Wu Ming was going to talk about his future work now, Taniyama Shangyi also became serious.
Wu Mingxiao's face was full of serious expressions, and he said: "In the future, our comic publishing house will be named Sun Moon Society, because Xingchen Entertainment's business in all aspects consumes a lot of money, so the money I brought to the island country this time is not much."
It's only 4 billion yen, of which I can only give you 1 billion as the start-up capital of the Sun Moon Society, and I will use the rest for other things. ”
Huo Jianning did only give Wu Ming 1.25 billion yen ($5 million), and the remaining 2.75 billion yen ($11 million) was borrowed by Wu Ming from his father.
Originally, 1.25 billion yen was more than enough to set up a manga publishing house and acquire an animation production company. However, after reading the fax sent by Kumaghiro Aoki, Wu Ming found a huge business opportunity, so he had to borrow money from his father.
Taniyama Naoyoshi began to listen to Wu Ming's lack of money, and his heart was raised, and when he heard that there was actually a start-up capital of more than 1 billion yen, he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, and secretly slandered, is one billion yen still too little.
"Boss, the start-up capital of one billion yen is completely sufficient. ”
Wu Ming then took out a few more pieces of paper and handed them to Taniyama Shangyi.
"Mr. Taniyama, this is some of the talents I have found after collecting some information, and I hope you can draw them from various manga publishing houses. ”
After Taniyama Naoyoshi took it, he looked at it carefully.
I saw that it was clearly written on it by Nobuhiko Horie, Kazuhiko Torishima, Miki Creation, Takao Igarashi, Koichiro Inomata, Takashi Hirayama, Tsukasa Hojo, Akira Toriyama, and Mitsuru Adachi......
Taniyama Naoyoshi didn't react when he saw this list, although some of them he knew, most of them were still unknown at this time.
How could he have imagined that the people on this list would either become editors-in-chief and editors-in-chief of various publishing houses in later generations, or be well-known cartoonists who drew many classic works.
"No problem, and I will also use my contacts over the years to win over other people in Shueisha, hoping that the boss will give me enough power to make promises to them. ”
Wu Ming replied to Taniyama Shangyi very happily.
"This is natural, I won't interfere too much in the affairs of the Sun Moon Society in the future, I will rely on you to manage Mr. Taniyama, as long as it is not too important, Mr. Taniyama, you can decide for yourself.
At the same time, after the establishment of the Sun Moon Society, I will take out 2.5% of the shares as the management shares of you, the president. In other words, the Sun Moon Society also has a share of Mr. Taniyama, and I hope you can do your best. At the same time, I will also give 2.5% of the shares as equity incentives for other management, and you can tell others that I will not treat anyone in the Sun Moon Club badly. ”
Gushan Shangyi was stunned when he heard Wu Ming's words, he didn't expect Wu Ming to be so generous. He actually gave himself 2.5% of the shares for nothing, you must know that it was 15 million yen, and his total assets are not so many now.
After reacting, Taniyama Shangyi immediately stood up excitedly and bowed to Wu Ming: "Ali Kata, Ali Kata." I will definitely live up to your trust, boss. ”
Aoki Kunichiro, who was sitting next to him, was a little envious of Taniyama Naoyoshi at this time, although he was the president of the Torak Toy Island Country Branch, but he had not been able to own the company's shares, and his small editor-in-chief could get shares worth 15 million yen so quickly.
Next, after Wu Ming and Taniyama Naoyoshi discussed, they decided to hold a comic book award first to attract comic talents and start the fame of the Sun Moon Society.
……
In the afternoon, Wu Ming was led by Kunichiro Aoki to SUNRISE, which is also known as Sunrise in Suginami-ku, Tokyo, which is an animation production company.
The animation production companies we may be familiar with are Kyoto Animation, Toei Animation, PA, JC, etc., but in fact, Sunrise is also a long-established animation production company.
The well-known "Mobile Suit Gundam", "City Hunter", "Dragon Fighter", "Lightbringer", "Inuyasha", "Gintama", and "Rebel Lelouch" were all produced by this company.
This animation production company has just made its mark in the animation industry, and it is not as imposing as later generations. And recently, the first broadcast of the Mobile Suit Gundam TV anime produced by them failed miserably, so it was a good time to acquire this company.
