Chapter 291: Don't Set a Flag
"President, tomorrow is the release day of Sword Art Online, and you said that you would go to the signing meeting in person, but we have already released the news. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Plus I haven't seen you in person for a few days, so ......"
It turned out to be an employee of a publishing house.
After hanging up the hands-free listening, Ji Ming knew who it was.
This person's name is Shuichi Minamino. The old man who has worked in the publishing house for ten years is the editor-in-chief of the company.
Speaking of which, he did promise to use his fame on the Internet to advertise Sword Art Online.
From the afternoon until now, Ji Ming has been in a mess, and he has forgotten a lot of things, and this one is obviously the same.
"Hmm... I understood, tomorrow I will be there in person, don't worry about the pigeons. ”
Ji Ming said something that made Nanno Shuichi breathe a sigh of relief.
He clearly understands how much identity Ji Ming, the president, has, and the signing of a light novel author is really not that important to him.
Publishing houses that are in ruins can count on the terrible situation of the publishing house driven by the fire of "Sword Art Online".
If Ji Ming said that something was wrong, he couldn't help it. Who makes the family not only the author, but also the top boss.
After chatting with Nanno Shuichi for a while, Ji Ming walked to the door of the house before he knew it.
Originally, he wanted to find more opportunities to talk to Nan Xiaoniao in the past few days, but now it seems that the situation does not allow it.
Rubbing her eyebrows, she shouldn't have any problems, right?
The apartment was the same as before, nothing changed.
From every corner, the extravagance of the rich class is reflected.
Carrying the cake package to the real white room, seeing that she was painting seriously, Ji Ming didn't bother her, gently put the cake on the table next to her, and walked out of the room.
Mashiro has the kind of tenacity that hangs on for the rest of his life and only does one thing in his life.
Ji Ming is still very envious of such a true white.
He would never be able to do this and focus most of his life on one thing.
It's like feelings......
At this point, Ji Ming had to admit his heart.
I don't know how long I can continue to live like this......
For some reason, this exclamation came to him in his heart.
In the next second, Ji Ming quickly retracted this sentence.
Because no matter how you look at it, it's all a flag!
It's still super big!
Shaking his head, Ji Ming let himself stop thinking about it.
He's very much like Murphy's Law.
Cooking, working, and going to bed when it's time to go to bed is like this, and the full and boring day passes.
……
The day after that, Ji Ming attended the first signing meeting of Sword Art Online as promised.
The staff of the publishing house, who had been worried, were all relieved.
In fact, if a company's business is maintained by only one author or one president, it is undoubtedly a great failure.
Ji Ming also understands this, and he is trying his best to change the situation.
But their company's situation is a bit special, first experienced bankruptcy, and was acquired by Ji Ming, it can be said that there was a long period of trough in the middle, and this can only be improved slowly.
With Ji Ming's fame getting bigger and bigger, coupled with the good reputation of 'produced by the god master, it must be a high-quality product', the scene of the Sword Art Online signing meeting can be said to be extremely hot.
Coupled with the popularity of Sword Art Online, which has long been on station B, it is much stronger than his first spring signing meeting.
However, such unsparing publicity by their publishing house naturally attracted the attention of their peers.
Maybe other industries just know that this is a novel written by the 'god teacher', but other publishing houses are different.
Especially the Immortal River.
At the beginning, the top management of the Immortal River Enterprise just regarded Ji Ming as a creator who was slightly more powerful than others and could make money.
It's no different from the authors of their business, just a little younger.
looked down at Ji Ming with arrogance.
But it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye, and in a short period of time that they couldn't believe it, the young man with the pen name 'Divine Master' had achieved jaw-dropping achievements in different fields.
Originally, these didn't mean much to them, because they were just the relationship between the author and the publisher.
But when it comes to sales and interests, they are as keen as sharks.
Entrepreneurs are like this, they will greet you with a smile when they are profitable, and once they have no use value, they can sweep you out of the house in the next second.
After learning about Ji Ming's other identities, especially the well-received "Sword Art Online" that is still copyrighted on the Internet, they asked Machida Wanko, the editor, to contact him many times.
It's a pity that Ji Ming has been shirking.
Even if he promised the contract treatment that only top authors have, Ji Ming was still vague, neither agreeing nor refusing.
It wasn't until they saw this young creator transform into the president of two companies that they suddenly realized.
By this time, it was already too late.
It can be said that Ji Ming's current relationship with Immortal River is very embarrassing.
Ji Ming's presence has threatened the interests of their publishing house.
At the same time, they are a win-win relationship.
Because of the issue of Sword Art Online's copyright.
"My Youth Love Story Really Has a Problem" can be said to be the only hub between them.
The blessing that the book sold a lot of money, they were still very kind on the surface, and they didn't tear their faces.
It's useless to tear your face.
Ji Ming's self-reliance has become an established fact.
To suppress Ji Ming's publishing house?
Did it work?
Ji Ming's fame is there.
Especially in the eyes of the majority of fans, no matter what work the master creates, it will have a huge repercussion, the quality of the work is there, and some small actions that can't be seen on the table are useless.
Unless Ji Ming dies by himself, such as a sudden explosion of the plot, writing the heroine to death, or creating a very rubbish work or something, this will make the delicious coat he has been wearing be stripped off.
This possibility is too low.
Now they're waiting to see what Sword Art Online's sales of a single book will look like in a week.
The signing meeting lasted from morning to sunset, and Ji Ming was lying on the table without an image.
Before he could rest for a while, he received another message from the editor of Shonen JUMP on his phone.
It's time for Naruto to deliver again!
Even if he is the president of two companies, he has done other things at the same time, and Ji Ming, whose pen name is still the god master, is updated steadily and quickly, and there is no downward trend in terms of plot or painting style, but it is getting better and better.
This is a rare thing to do without asking for a stop.
Fans who are obsessed with Naruto can't help but sigh at Ji Ming's character while being drunk as truthful.
It doesn't matter if you open more, as long as you have no problem with quality and speed, we will definitely support you!
This is the common sentiment of fans.
Not only that, but in the past two months, as the Hokage has slowly unfolded the plot at an orderly pace, a magnificent and huge world has finally gradually unfolded in front of all fans.
Friendship, blood, victory.
Naruto fits perfectly with these three main themes of JUMP.
Now, let's not talk about cutting it in half, just the news that Naruto can be seen with the naked eye driving the sales of the JUMP weekly and the continuous release of big-selling merchandise and animations has already made it clear that Shueisha will definitely support Naruto.
Some insiders who know the situation know that Shueisha is planning to make Naruto a phenomenal manga!

The update is a little late, sorry, Carvin is not in good condition......
