Chapter Seventy-Four: I'm Serious
Dinner was sashimi and sushi with Japanese characteristics, plus sake, and to be honest, the taste was really average and monotonous, and you had to worry about whether there would be parasites, at least that's what Wei Xiong thought. However, Le Zhenghong ate very deliciously, and it is worthy of being mixed abroad.
Naturally, it is impossible for two men to eat for an hour or two casually like a man and a woman, and the biggest purpose is to fill their stomachs, and from the beginning to the end, the dinner only lasted for more than half an hour. After the meal, Le Zhenghong originally proposed to go outside.
Japan's environment has always been known for its cleanliness and beauty, not to mention that it is also a holy place for tourism and vacation, it is rare to visit, and you must have to go outside, but Wei Xiong vetoed: "It's still early, go out later, you go with me first, you act as a translator." ”
"Who is it? related to your investment project?" When he was soaking in the hot spring, Le Zhenghong began to wonder why an investment project suddenly appeared.
"Excuse me, you'll find out later. After a while, the two came to the hotel reception: "You asked her what room Taniyama Shangyi lives in." ”
In fact, Wei Xiong didn't know if that 'Taniyama-kun' was the future president of Shueisha Taniyama Naoyoshi, but he just asked Le Zheng Hongquan to ask, if so, then it would be better, if not, his whim investment plan could only be temporarily put on hold.
Full of doubts, Le Zhenghong relayed Wei Xiong's words to the main station lady, and then saw the main station lady smile very politely: "I'm sorry, we can't tell you the customer's room number, if it's convenient, please tell me your name, and I'll help you ask Mr. Shimodaniyama." ”
It seems that this Miss of the main station does not know Wei Xiong, which is normal, after all, Wei Xiong is not a local star in Japan, in this era of backward means of information dissemination, the speed of information dissemination can be imagined. Many people may have heard Wei Xiong's songs but don't know Wei Xiong's people,
Wei Xiong's face was overjoyed: "Let him tell Gu Shan Shangyi, and he will say that Wei Xiong is looking for him and has a business to talk to him." ”
After listening to Le Zhenghong's relay, the front desk lady glanced at Wei Xiong suspiciously, probably thinking that the name was a little familiar, and then picked up the phone......
Taniyama Naoyoshi put the wet towel still on the chair and took out a cigarette and lit it, but just took a puff, but sighed distressedly, he came to Beppu City this time at the invitation of his good friend Koji Yamaizumi as a guest, and originally he also regarded this trip as a rare vacation.
But what happened next made him a little embarrassed.,Koji Yamaizumi's son Ichiro Yamaizumi is very interested in drawing manga.,Want to work in Shueisha.,According to his idea,As long as Ichiro Yamaizumi's level is barely okay.,For the sake of his friend's face.,It's nothing to open the back door.。
But Ichiro Izumi's level is not to say miserable, it's almost too much, and he can't even reach the level of being an apprentice, even though he is the editor-in-chief of the weekly "Youngjump", he can't stuff people into the company so blatantly, he doesn't want to be swept away by the company.
"Alas, I hope Shanquan-kun can understand. No matter what Koji Yamaizumi thinks, he is destined to be unable to help with this favor, at this moment:
"Bell bell bell bell ......"
"Hey?" he picked up the phone, and it was from the main station: "Wei Xiong, can you ask him if he is from Hong Kong...... Okay, let him come up. ”
Shueisha is located in Tokyo, and Wei Xiong was only doing publicity in Tokyo a few days ago, so he naturally knows more than Miss Main Station, so when Miss Main Station said Wei Xiong's name, he thought of the person in his memory, but he was curious about what Wei Xiong, a singer, asked him to do.
————————————
When Gu Shangyi asked if Wei Xiong was from Hong Kong, Miss Main Station finally remembered Wei Xiong's identity, and when she hung up the phone, she took out a notebook and handed it to Wei Xiong with some excitement: "Mr. Wei Xiong, I am your fan, can you help me sign it?"
"Absolutely. After signing a name that even he couldn't understand, Wei Xiong asked, "What is Mr. Taniyama's answer?"
"Mr. Taniyama lives in room 408, and he is waiting for you in the room. ”
"Thank you. ”
……
Room 408 is on the fourth floor, and it just so happens that Wei Xiong and Le Zhenghong also live on this floor, and they are not far apart. Ring the doorbell and soon the door opens.
He is a very ordinary middle-aged man, wearing glasses, medium build, thrown on the street to ensure that he will not be recognized in the blink of an eye, but he is such an ordinary middle-aged man, and more than ten years later, in 2000, he became the president of Shueisha, one of the largest publishing houses in Japan.
The ancients often said that great wisdom is foolish, which means that people who really have great wisdom often look ordinary, and the middle-aged man in front of him is obviously this type, at least in the highly competitive society of Japan, a person with ordinary ability can never become the president of Shueisha.
After greeting each other, the three of them sat down on a tatami mat, and Taniyama Shangyi was the first to speak: "Mr. Wei said that he had business to discuss with me, which made me very curious. ”
"Mr. Taniyama is now the editor-in-chief of Shueisha?" said Rakku, who was still acting as an interpreter.
"That's right, I've been working at Shueisha for almost ten years, does this have anything to do with what Mr. Wei wants to talk to me about?"
"Of course, I plan to invest in opening a manga publishing house, and I would like to ask Mr. Taniyama to be the president. Wei Xiong smiled slightly, and said his purpose very directly.
And Taniyama Shangyi obviously didn't think of this, and even Le Zhenghong was surprised, and the translation was half a beat slower.
"As far as I know, Mr. Wei is a singer and has a high reputation in Hong Kong and even in the whole of Asia, why would he want to invest in a manga publishing house? Also, why did he choose me? The Japanese manga industry is very developed, could Mr. Wei not find a more suitable person than me?"
"As you said, the Japanese manga industry is very strong, so what's so strange that I want to get a piece of the pie? ”
"Besides, I've invested not only in comic book publishers, but also in film companies and record labels. As for why I chose you, it's even simpler, I believe in my own vision. ”
Very bullshitty reason.
Gushan Shangyi lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and asked quietly, "I don't know how much Mr. Wei plans to invest?"
"50 million yen, this is just the first investment, I will continue to add if necessary in the future, in fact, manga is just the initial business of the publishing house, I hope it will expand to other aspects in the future. ”
50 million yen!
"Is Mr. Wei serious?
There was no doubt that Taniyama Naoyoshi was moved, but he was still a little skeptical, because he didn't believe that such a great good thing would suddenly fall on his head.
"Am I like a boring person?"
