Chapter Seventy-Six: Forgetting to Cover Up Your Ugliness
Ask for a recommendation!!! Ask for collection!!!
――――――――――――――――――
"This comic is expected to be more than 200 words long, although there are only the first ten words here, but Mr. Taniyama has been engaged in the comic industry for so many years, you should be able to see whether it is excellent or not, after the establishment of the comic publishing house, you can first open up popularity with this comic, I think this is not difficult, at least I am confident in my work, and then attract more outstanding talents to join the publishing house."
Before today, Taniyama Naoyoshi had actually vetoed Wei Xiong's tempting plan, but after reading the first ten episodes of the comic called "Slam Dunk", he had to change his mind. As Wei Xiong said, although he only read the first ten words.
But these ten words had already attracted his attention and provoked his desire to continue reading. Without a doubt, this is a good start.
And a good beginning is the foundation of a comic's success, if the entire comic can maintain this level, it is indeed possible for the comic club to open up its popularity in a short period of time, and as long as there is popularity, and there are sufficient funds, the comic club may not be able to break out of the encirclement.
"Your work really attracted me, and to be honest, I didn't expect Mr. Wei to be an excellent cartoonist in addition to being a famous singer."
Wei Xiong was keenly aware of the change in Taniyama Shangyi's title, and immediately threw out the last bargaining chip: "As a reward for Mr. Taniyama to serve as the president, in addition to the fixed salary, there is also a 10% cadre stock of the comic club." Of course, Mr. Taniyama can also invest in shares if he wants to. ”
This is Japan, and if the comic book agency can really implement it, then it will have to rely on the professional Taniyama Naoyoshi to manage it, after all, he is far away in Hong Kong, and he is a complete layman in the comic publishing industry, so the phrase 'everyone earns money together' sometimes makes sense.
As for why he wanted to open a comic publishing house on a whim, making money is certainly one thing, but the main thing is to lay out the planned plan.
Maybe it's a good idea to invest in a comic club! After some careful consideration, Taniyama Naoyoshi felt that now was indeed a good opportunity for him, he had never been an indecisive person, otherwise he would not be the president of Shueisha in the future.
He naturally won't let go of such a good opportunity, even if there are unknown risks in this opportunity, he wants to give it a try. In response to the old saying, 'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier'. In the same way, he didn't want to be the editor-in-chief of a comic magazine forever.
"I invested 15 million yen and held 30% of the shares. In addition, I hope that Mr. Wei will fully respect my management of the publishing house. ”
He was rational and did not ask for more shares, because he knew very well that Wei Xiong would definitely ask for a controlling stake. In addition, 15 million yen is all the cash he can get at this stage, and he even has to borrow some from the bank to get it together.
"No problem." After so much effort, he finally persuaded Taniyama Shangyi, and Wei Xiong couldn't help but have a smile on his face. In the next half hour, the two discussed the specific details of the cooperation, and finally decided to wait until after the Lunar New Year to start preparing for the publishing house.
This was agreed upon by both of them, and during this time, Taniyama Naoyoshi could raise the required funds while handing over the work at hand; Although Wei Xiong's funds are abundant, but he lacks manpower, it is impossible for him to directly hand over more than 30 million yen to Taniyama Naoyoshi.
Even if Taniyama Naoyoshi exercises the management of the publishing house, it needs to be supervised by force, at least financially......
If there was still a bit of impulsiveness when he agreed just now, then after some discussions with Wei Xiong about the details of the specific cooperation, Taniyama Naoyoshi has let go of the last trace of hesitation, and instead is full of ambition, eager to start acting immediately.
The two of them ate together, chatting while eating, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and then Taniyama Naoyoshi returned to the room to pack his luggage, he booked a flight back to Tokyo at half past three in the afternoon, and it was time to leave for the airport. And Wei Xiong also returned to his room to rest.
In the past day and two nights, he really spent a lot of energy in order to catch up with the first ten episodes of "Slam Dunk", and he fell asleep not long after lying in bed, and slept until almost three o'clock before getting up, wanting to find Le Zhenghong to soak in the hot spring together, but he didn't expect that no one would open the door after pressing the doorbell for a long time.
After asking the hotel reception, I knew that Le Zhenghong had already gone to the hot spring alone, because he and Le Zhenghong came to the hotel to check in together, and had also soaked in the hot spring together, so when he proposed to let the waiter take him to Le Zhenghong, the hotel did not object.
I followed the waiter to the hot spring area, standing outside a small hot spring standing alone, and the waiter said, "Mr. Le is inside." ”
After speaking, the waiter bowed with Japanese characteristics and turned to leave, Wei Xiong looked around, this is the second time he soaked in the hot spring, he didn't take a serious look at it last time, and now he found that this hot spring area is very large, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, and the sky is still filled with white mist.
And the business seems to be very good, from time to time you can see the doors of the spa room opening and closing, or some customers, or masseurs coming in and out. In addition, there seem to be some large hot springs that are completely open in the distance, and you can vaguely see the hot springs crowded with people.
"Lao Le, it's me." He knocked on the door twice, and after a moment he heard a sound of water, and then the door opened: "Why is it so ......?"
He stopped halfway through his words, because it was not Le Zhenghong who opened the door, but a woman wrapped in a white bath towel, which looked a little familiar, and he remembered the identity of the other party after a little thought, it was the masseuse who entered Le Zhenghong's room the night before.
looked behind the masseuse, and sure enough, I saw Le Zhenghong in the hot spring: "I'm sorry to disturb you, it seems that I'd better open the room by myself." ”
Wei Xiong's ridicule immediately made Le Zhenghong roll his eyes, and said angrily: "Come in, I just came, what's the matter, the matter has been discussed?" ”
He could see that Wei Xiong was in a good mood, and thought that Wei Xiong went to find that Gu Shan Shangyi in the morning, and he didn't have to guess to know that the matter must have been negotiated, and at the same time said that the cartoon drawn by Wei Xiong was very good in the eyes of Gu Shan Shangyi, a professional, and this was what he was surprised by.
"Let's talk, you ......," Wei Xiong said as he walked into the hot spring room, but he quickly stopped again, and showed a very speechless expression.
Le Zhenghong looked down at Wei Xiong's line of sight, and was immediately embarrassed, it turned out that when Wei Xiong knocked on the door just now, he didn't pay attention for a while, and actually forgot to cover up his ugliness.
