After making a contribution to bringing the weekly boy "JUMP" out of the trough, Kazuhiko Torishima was promoted to the third editorial head of Shueisha, overseeing Shueisha's weekly manga magazine, and since then, he has attended as a leader whenever "JUMP" has any initiatives to expand overseas markets, such as attending the press conference for the release of the Chinese Simplified Chinese version of "The Prince of Tennis".

But at that time, it was already the 21st century, and at this time Kazuhiko Torishima was a rookie editor, famous for rejection, and there were no famous manga artists and manga works under his umbrella.
So it is precisely because of the serious asymmetry in terms of social status, economy, and place that Kazuhiko Torishima was sincerely afraid when he heard Xu Wenhui, the now famous big boss, invite him.
Hearing Xu Wenhui's question, Kazuhiko Torishima sat on only half of his ass, and immediately straightened up and said, "Yes! Xu Sang, I am Shueisha's editor-in-charge who has just been transferred from an intern to a full-time editor. ”
Xu Wenhui nodded and asked tentatively, "Now Mr. Heyan, how many cartoonists are in charge of it?"
When the others saw Xu Wenhui chatting with Kazuhiko Torishima, they also sat respectfully, drinking wine, and actually kept an eye on the conversation between the two people, and they were also curious about why Xu Wenhui, the big boss, would invite a small person like Kazuhiko Torishima.
In normal times, Hatta Hideaki and his wife Hatta Yoko don't bother to eat at the same table with little people like Kazuhiko Torishima.
Kazuhiko Torishima was a little hesitant in the face of Xu Wenhui's questioning, because both cartoonists and editors in the comics industry kept each other's identity information strictly confidential, and they used to be poached by hostile companies.
If Xu Wenhui hadn't deliberately named Kazuhiko Torishima this time, the second world wouldn't have known that there was such a person.
It took them a lot of effort to find Kazuhiko Torishima.
"If it's because of the principle of confidentiality, it doesn't matter if Mr. Kazuhiko doesn't say it. Xu Wenhui didn't get angry when he saw the other party's hesitation, in fact, he just wanted to test whether Akira Toriyama was now under Kazuhiko Torishima.
Toriyamamoto and Rumiko Takahashi are almost the same, or basically the manga artists are similar, they all entered the manga world for money.
At that time, Akira Toriyama wanted to vote for his first work for "Shonen Magazine" because it set up a "rookie award" with a prize of 500,000 yen, which was quite attractive to Toriyama, who did not have a full-time job.
However, he was unable to meet the deadline for the competition, so he submitted his manuscript to "Shonen Jump", which accepts submissions every month.
The first submission did not win an award, but the name was listed in the magazine. Because the short story submitted is a remake of the Star Wars comics, it can't be considered original, but because the drawing technique is good and there are innovations, it was favored by a novice rookie editor, so I contacted Akira Toriyama himself!
And that rookie editor is the Kazuhiko Torishima in front of Xu Wenhui.
However, Akira Toriyama is not as lucky as Rumiko Takahashi, and although Kazuhiko Torishima noticed him, he is known for his merciless rejection!!
According to Toriyama, no less than 1,000 of his drawings were returned by Kazuhiko Torishima.
But Toriyama didn't care, continued to create, and was finally recognized by Kazuhiko Torishima.
Therefore, Xu Wenhui speculated that the two should have known each other by now, and Akira Toriyama is on the road to rejection......
I heard Xu Wenhui be so generous.
Kazuhiko Torishima was very moved, gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, I have just turned regular, so there are no famous cartoonists under it, only Watanabe, Extreme Jun, and Akira Toriyama. ”
Xu Wenhui's eyes lit up, and sure enough, the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Actually, I admire Mr. Heyan, our second world sincerely invites you to work in our second world, Mr. Heyan, you can consider it." ”
Kazuhiko Torishima didn't expect the other party to go to great lengths to invite himself over to dig himself, he was really a little scared, and at the same time wondered how Xu Wenhui admired him, he didn't have any famous cartoonists, and he didn't have any potential works recently.
But Kazuhiko Torishima hesitated, plucked up the courage to bow his head and said, "Xu Sang, I'm sorry, my current job is very good, and I don't want to change my work environment." ”
Although the rise of "Shonen Second" and "Second World Manga Daily" in the second world is very fast, very fast, even to the point where many comic companies are afraid, because "Shonen Second" took two months to create a series of miracles, and it is still creating miracles, and in the latest week, it has reached 380,000 horror sales in a single week!!
Although it was not as terrifying as it was in the first week or two, it reached nearly 400,000 sales in two months, and everyone could not help but admire it.
If the three major weekly magazines are unable to organize its rise, Kazuhiko Torishima speculates that within a year at the latest, "Shonen Second" may break through to one million sales in a single week, and then someone will definitely be dismissed, and Second World will become one of the new three major publishers.
However, Kazuhiko Torishima now has a good working environment, he has just turned positive, and he is not afraid of losing his job by relying on the big tree of Shueisha, so in the face of Xu Wenhui's invitation, he struggled in his heart and refused.
Xu Wenhui was thoughtful, and suddenly smiled: "What if I give you the identity of the editor-in-chief?"
Hearing Xu Wenhui's words, everyone in the izakaya was also shocked!
Wu Dai Natsuko was dumbfounded!
Hideaki Hatta and his wife Yoko Hatta are dumbfounded!
Even the layman Seiko Matsuda is a little confused.
Xu Wenhui personally invited Kazuhiko Torishima and asked him to change jobs, even asking him to be a rookie editor in a high position, which is too incredible, how can Kazuhiko Torishima be!
Even Kazuhiko Torishima himself thought so, and his face was stunned, editor-in-chief, this is the editor-in-chief, if nothing else, how many years will he have to stay up to the position of editor-in-chief.
Especially for a large company like Shueisha, it is not possible until he excavates super popular works and earns huge profits for the company.
So Xu Wenhui's inheritance is like a gift from God, at least Kazuhiko Torishima thinks so.
Xu Wenhui said with a smile: "This is just the position when you joined, as long as you sign a contract, I promise to give you the position of editor-in-chief within a year!!"
This sentence blew everyone up again.
Everyone was completely confused, and they all looked at Kazuhiko Torishima's ordinary face, wondering if the other party had a beautiful sister or a beautiful sister, otherwise they would definitely have other plans.
"Ah, editor-in-chief?!!!" Kazuhiko Torishima was also shocked, relatively speaking, the position of editor-in-chief is not as high as that of editor-in-chief, and he has great authority, how can he get this position.
