7Ϸ iK15 &DK5 c 0L· 8f[Y z ǯ%8г& v um%ڟ In January, Weekly Shonen Jump was still far ahead of the second-ranked Shonen Magazine with a gap of 2 million sales, and it seemed that the advantage was unshakable.

But this year, the sales gap between "Weekly Shonen Magazine" and "Weekly Shonen Jump" has narrowed to just over a million.

The implication of Hojo Tsukasa is that whichever magazine Qin Han goes to can bring him a sales increase of more than one million!

Thinking of the meaning of the other party's words, Kazuhiko Torishima's throat was a little dry.

In the past, the media asked a professional data company to analyze that if "Dragon Ball" ends, then the sales of "Weekly Shonen Jump" will drop by at least 1.5 million.

"Unexpectedly, in the eyes of Hojo Division, Qin Han is already equal to two-thirds of Toriyama Ming. ”

The young man who discovered it by himself, unconsciously, has grown to this point.

Kazuhiko Torishima felt immeasurable emotion in his heart.

He believed that in the eyes of Tsukasa Hojo, even if the words were slightly exaggerated, they would certainly not be untargeted. Qin Han's well-prepared football cartoon is definitely not an ordinary work.

Kazuhiko Torishima is even more determined to pull Qin Han to JUMP.

He put down the phone and got up to leave his desk.

When an editor saw the editor-in-chief leaving, he couldn't help but come over and ask curiously, "Editor-in-chief, where are you going?"

"Go upstairs. It's time for the big guys to make up their minds. Kazuhiko Torishima pointed up.

The editors nodded knowingly.

For the battle between the three major magazines around Qin and Han, they, well-informed in the industry, have long known about it.

If such a well-known cartoonist came to Weekly Shonen Jump and had an immediate effect on the magazine's sales, they would certainly be happy - at least, the magazine's profitability would be better, and the editors would receive a little more year-end bonuses, wouldn't they?

"If Teacher Qin Han comes to jump, I don't know who will be the editor-in-charge?"

"What, do you want to be the editor in charge of Mr. Qin Han? Hehe, although the idea is good, it is not necessarily a good thing to be the editor in charge of a well-known cartoonist. If the other party has a weird temper, then it will be bearable. ”

"Others may have this kind of concern, but Teacher Qin Han will not. ”

"What, do you know Teacher Qin Han?"

"Not really. It's just that no matter how bad Teacher Qin Han's temper is, he still has an incomparable advantage. ”

"What advantages?"

"Teacher Qin Han is very diligent! During the period of serialization of "Dragon Sakura", he had to publish a single volume in a month, but he only stopped publishing it once! The last time I was drinking at an izaka, I happened to be at the same table with Xiong Ze of "Young Animal". That woman is the editor in charge of Teacher Qin Han. According to her, as the editor in charge of Teacher Qin Han, she doesn't need to worry about delaying the manuscript, and she can get the manuscript on time every week!"

"Really, isn't Teacher Qin Han our angel?"

Most of these editors have experienced the pain of the cartoonists in charge of delaying the delivery of manuscripts.

On the one hand, they had to apologize to the printing house constantly, and on the other hand, they had to persuade the cartoonists with all their hearts, and even went to each other's homes to stay up all night with them, just to get the manuscript as soon as possible.

Watching the time pass minute by minute, and seeing that the final deadline is approaching, the manga artist in charge of it still can't get the sketch is a torment.

The editors of JUMP have secretly made up their minds, and they are ready to wait for Kazuhiko Torishima to return, and then go to fight for the opportunity to give Qin Han the opportunity to be the editor-in-charge.

Compared with the tepid popularity of "Weekly Shonen Magazine" and the hesitation of "Weekly Shonen Jump", "Weekly Shonen Sunday" has the most positive attitude towards Qin Han.

When Kazuhiko Torishima ran to convince the Shueisha executives to make up their minds, a meeting was also being held in the editorial office of the Shogakukan Headquarters and Weekly Shonen Sunday, which was located on the same street as the Shueisha building, not far away.

The meeting was attended by the editor-in-chief Koichiro Inomata and the two deputy editors-in-chief, as well as three senior executives of the Shogakukan, including Yumin Mitsutake, the vice president in charge of the shonen manga section.

“…… That's it, Vice President, Mr. Qin Han also felt our sincerity, and the two sides had many contacts. Maybe if you work harder, you can impress Teacher Qin Han. Koichiro Mai said.

Yumin Guangwu said: "We have made such good conditions, how can we work hard? Why is Teacher Qin Han still hesitating? Could it be that the conditions given by the other two and the sincerity shown can surpass us?"

At the beginning, Koichiro Inomata strongly advocated and offered generous conditions to recruit Qin Han, but he withstood a lot of pressure.

For the magazine, no matter how much they want excellent cartoonists to join, they can't make unlimited concessions.

So for what Koichiro Inomata said now, Yumin Mitsutake was a little unhappy.

Koichiro Inomata explained: "Weekly Shonen Magazine was also involved in the battle, but the conditions they offered were not generous and their attitude was not the most positive. It is estimated that Kodansha has actually given up competition with us and Shueisha. ”

"Probably, they thought that it would be enough for them to have Kanedaichi. Deputy editor-in-chief Isamu Konishi smiled, "There is not enough sense of crisis, because the current victory is stagnant, and their lead is only temporary." ”

"So, the question is JUMP?" said Yumin Mitsutake.

"Yes. Although the Qin and Han dynasties had been banned by Shueisha before. But the two sides have long since reached a settlement, and a year has passed. Maybe Qin Han still has a knot in his heart for JUMP, but after all, that is where he debuted, and his teacher Tsukasa Hojo and many friends are in JUMP. What's more, there is also Kazuhiko Torishima. Koichiro Inomata briefed everyone in the conference room about JUMP.

"Kazuhiko Torishima, ah......" Speaking of this industry legend, Yumin Mitsutake showed a solemn look.

The other party's vision and ability are impeccable, and he still has a deep relationship with Qin Han. If the other party advocates that Qin Han return to JUMP, their primary school hall will really not be too competitive.

Unless...... Speak with money.

If the conditions offered by "Weekly Shonen Sunday" far exceed that of "Weekly Shonen Jump", and it is useless for Kazuhiko Torishima to play the favor card no matter how much he plays, then Qin Han will definitely join.

But, Guldan, at what cost?

Well, it's a bit of a skewer.

"Inomata, do you think to what extent can we raise the conditions to break the deadlock of Teacher Qin Han's current swaying from side to side?" asked Yumin Guangwu.

Koichiro Inomata already had a plan in his heart, so he didn't think much about it, so he blurted out: "Through the relationship between acquaintances, I learned from Baiquan Club that when Mr. Qin Han serialized "Dragon Sakura", the royalty of a single book was 12%. "Dragon Sakura" has little potential to develop the periphery, so let's not mention it for the time being. If we mention the condition that the royalty of a single line is 13%, and the periphery is divided into 7%, presumably Mr. Qin Han will not be able to refuse. ”
