Chapter 391 years ago

PS: Thank you for the book friend helloye2008, Dance of the Gods (two), lxw_27, I love AMD's monthly pass, and thank you for the reward from the book friend China Raul.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was ninety-one years.

Fang Mingyuan, who finally returned to the capital before New Year's Day, once again got the third place in the class and the seventh in the whole grade in the final exam, which made the teachers of Longtan Middle School very satisfied. Also very satisfied is Minister Su Huandong Su Da.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan is also very satisfied, in 90 years, he not only scavenged from Shijie's crude oil market, but also the industries under his name have grown rapidly.

The branch of Carrefour supermarket has extended out of Qinxi Province and entered the capital and Shanghai market, and when it opened, it caused quite a stir in the local area. The turnover of that month broke the record since the opening of Carrefour supermarket, which made Sun Zhaolun so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Now we are preparing to continue to open branches in both places, and we are preparing to open branches in the south.

Fangjia restaurant is faster than Carrefour supermarket, and now in the first-tier cities in China, there are basically branches, some cities, and even several branches, and these stores, not only undertake the great cause of making money, but also the expansion of other industries of Fangjia to test the waters of these cities, and shoulder the field investigation of the consumption level of these cities.

In Japan, Fang Mingyuan's comics and adapted animations have begun to prepare for "Chess Soul", "Hunter" and its adapted animation in Japan are crazy sales again, so that Fang Mingyuan has become a veritable first-class cartoonist in Japan, originally he wanted to "come out" "Slam Dunk", but unfortunately in the "Juvenile Weekly" sent in July, Fang Mingyuan regretted to see its appearance, so it was changed to "Chess Soul".

Although the imagination of Japanese manga artists is extremely good, it feels like any subject matter will be used to draw into works, and in sports manga, manga of various ball sports such as football, basketball, baseball, and tennis have long been commonplace, and there are many classics recognized by Japanese people, such as "Soccer Player", "Slam Dunk", "Prince of Tennis", "Major League Baseball" and so on. Even swimming, boxing and other sports have a lot of works.

However, there are only a handful of works on chess, in fact, it is easy to understand that most of the chess games are mental struggles, unlike ball games, which make people feel the blood boiling. How to express it in comics is undoubtedly a challenge for cartoonists. In particular, I am afraid that many people in Japan have the impression that it is "something that only old men like". Not to mention liking it, just looking at its rules is enough to make people feel dizzy. Not to mention a keen interest in it.

Therefore, when Fang Mingyuan handed over the first volume of "Chess Soul" to Miyamoto Origichi, Miyamoto Origichi questioned whether this kind of comic with a cold theme could really succeed?

But Fang Mingyuan's attitude is very firm, if "Shonen Monthly" refuses to publish, then he does not mind handing over this work to other manga publishing houses in Japan.

Miyamoto Fold was helpless, and brought "Chess Soul" back to Japan, as he expected, for Fang Mingyuan's work, the senior management of "Juvenile Monthly" had serious disagreements, many people believe that this work will lead to a sharp decline in Fang Mingyuan's status, so I hope that Fang Mingyuan can start another work before the end of "Hunter". Anyway, Fang Mingyuan's creation speed is very fast, and it takes three to five years for other cartoonists to complete the serialization of works, but in his case, it usually takes about a year to complete the manuscript. In this case, as long as the publisher slows down the publication of "The Hunter" a little, the timing should not be a problem at all.

Today's Fang Mingyuan, among the comic book authors under the "Juvenile Monthly", is already a well-deserved boss and a banner, and the senior management of "Juvenile Monthly" naturally don't want him to make any mistakes. He can't afford to make the slightest mistake.

But Fang Mingyuan's attitude was extremely tough, no matter how the senior management of "Juvenile Monthly" pleaded, he insisted that Qingshan would not let go, and even clearly proposed to change the publishing house to publish.

The helpless senior management of "Juvenile Monthly" can only compromise in the end - Fang Mingyuan has been publishing works in "Juvenile Monthly" since his debut, if it is said that he suddenly changed his court, will it give people the illusion that Fang Mingyuan has parted ways with "Juvenile Monthly", and no one dares to bear the chain consequences brought about by this

So in December, "Shonen Monthly" released the first volume of "Chess Soul" in the form of a trailer in the manga magazine of that month, and made a special survey for this purpose, hoping to find out how much readers liked this work.

It turned out that "Chess Soul" was not only a success, but a sensational success. In the questionnaire collected that month, almost 90% of them were asking when "Chess Soul" would start to be officially serialized. Even the traditionally strict Japanese manga critics, although they are not sure of its final level due to the small number of volumes published, are rarely critical of this work.

Moreover, to the surprise of the executives of "Shonen Monthly", the Japanese animation companies were simply more confident than they were in this work, and the day after the magazine was published, an animation company came to the door and asked to buy the animation adaptation rights of "Chess Soul", and three days later, the number became six. The lowest price offered is not less than the original price of the animation adaptation rights of "Hunter". The senior management of "Shonen Monthly" was shocked. Miyamoto reported the result to Fang Mingyuan in ecstasy.

Fang Mingyuan was not surprised at all by this result, in his previous life, the success of "Chess Soul" had set off a huge wave in Japan, South Korea, China, and even the entire Southeast Asia. Not only has the manga serialization of "Chess Soul" been very popular, but the single book has also sold wildly, with a cumulative sales of nearly 20 million copies, which is a rather terrible number in the Japanese manga industry, and only the classic works drawn by first-class manga artists can reach this height.

And its anime ratings are even more terrifying, reaching a staggering figure of nearly 40 percent, you know, in Japan, even some dramas starring popular idols can't reach this height.

Since then, it has been a huge hit, with not only games released one after another, but also CD radio dramas, anime theatrical versions, music CDs, and a large number of merchandise. The Japanese manga critics have received rave reviews from all sides, and they have high hopes for the work. quickly made "Chess Soul" a member of the classic comics.

Moreover, "Chess Soul" has also brought a huge social influence, and has made great contributions to the development of Go in Japan and even Southeast Asian countries. According to the statistics of the Japanese Go Academy in the previous life, in the years when "Chess Soul" was serialized, Japan's Go population increased by nearly one million, and in these years, due to the accelerated pace of life, the increase in entertainment activities, and the hobbies of teenagers have more choice directions, Japan's Go population has an obvious age gap, and gradually tends to age, and it is difficult to replenish new blood, in fact, this dilemma is not unique to Japan, Shijie Go traditional top three, China and South Korea are also facing the same dilemma.

In order to promote and popularize Go in Japan, the Japanese Chess Academy racked its brains and tried its best, but the effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory. However, the appearance of "Chess Soul" has sent hundreds of thousands of fresh blood to the Japanese Go community, and it has also attracted more people's attention to Go. Even Huaxia's authoritative Go magazine has made a comprehensive report on "Chess Soul", and even Huaxia TV has broadcast a domestic Go animation. As for the level, it is needless to say.

After this incident, Fang Mingyuan's status in "Juvenile Monthly" skyrocketed again

At the same time that the game company launched the sequel to the Age of Discovery, it also launched a lot of interesting mini-games that Fang Mingyuan copied from his previous life, which were also popular and applauded, and the banknotes were rolling in. And the production of "Resident Evil" is also on the agenda. After the book version of "Resident Evil" sold well in Japan, the expectations of biochemical fans for the game are also high. There are even animation companies that have contacted the company and want to make "Resident Evil" into an animation. It's just that Fang Mingyuan is in this area, but he hasn't let go.

The cooperation with Sega Co., Ltd. is also smooth, the production of "VR Warrior" is nearing completion, just waiting for the spring release, Suzuki Yu once again sent an invitation to Fang Mingyuan, hoping that he can experience his own work before the release. In this regard, Fang Mingyuan naturally would not refuse.

Trial production has begun at the MD assembly plant in Fengyuan, and the first batch of MDs has successfully passed the inspection of Sega Corporation's quality inspectors and has been put into the Japanese market. I believe that after entering the spring, this factory can be officially put into operation and continue to create profits.

In the Soviet Union, Aso Kazuki also made a series of moves, wantonly buying Soviet mineral resources and factories, and did not return to Japan even on New Year's Day. Now there is also a well-known "foreign friend" in the Soviet Union, although she is taking Soviet money to buy Soviet assets cheaply, like many foreign businessmen who come to China.

As for the Middle East, the situation there is still tense, and despite repeated warnings from the United States, the Iraqi Government continues to refuse to withdraw its troops from Kuwait and to transfer Kuwaiti property to Iraq on a large scale. Millions of heavily armed soldiers on both sides are eyeing the border. And the hostage crisis, just like in the previous life, broke out. For a time, the Iraqi government was the finger of all the people

However, Prince Abdullah and his wife have received more attention from the top leaders of the two countries because shortly after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, they had already reminded the government to beware of Iraqis jumping over the wall and using the nationals stranded in Iraq as human shields against the attack of the coalition forces. While the status of the two was high, they were naturally grateful to Fang Mingyuan.

Kuwait's procurement of goods is endless, and the volume of purchases is increasing. By the end of the year, Lin Lian had sent a large number of goods to the Middle East for the third time, and for this alone, the Fang family had received a profit of up to 100 million US dollars

In the United Arab Emirates, a small bank with the participation of members of the royal families of the two countries, Dolly Bank, has quietly opened its doors, and its first two transactions are as much as 170 million US dollars deposited by Prince Abdullah and his wife. As an important shareholder of the bank, Fang Mingyuan did not have time to congratulate him at that time. For this reason, Prince Abdullah and the others complained about him. Zuihou, Fang Mingyuan had to agree, do his best, and in the first half of 91, go to the UAE again to meet with the two.

Of course, what made Fang Mingyuan the happiest was the investment agreement officially reached with ** before the holiday, for this reason, ** and Lu Liang deliberately rushed to Fengyuan before the Spring Festival.

After a month of bargaining, and at the repeated demands of the military, the Qionghai Provincial Party Committee and Government formally issued an official document to the Yazhou City Party Committee and Government on 3 February, assigning Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay, as well as more than 100 square kilometers of land in their vicinity, to the name of the Yazhou Naval Base. Of course, among them, there is also the Northwest Military Region secretly exerting its strength in it.

And ** came this time, to formally sign the investment contract with the Fang family. He knew that he had a lot of dreams at night, and he was afraid that a similar situation would occur. Of course, externally, there will be a formal signing ceremony in Yalong Bay in Yazhou in April.

These hundreds of square kilometers of land will be assigned to the future joint-stock limited liability company. What Fang Mingyuan needs to pay is a 70-year usage fee of 1,600 yuan per mu of land. However, considering that the land area is much larger than the scheduled Jihua, the company can pay in three installments over two years, and only need to pay 100 million yuan for the first installment. Of course, this money is not exclusive to the Yazhou Naval Base, but 80 percent of it must be handed over to the South China Sea Fleet.

If, according to convention, such a large-scale land transfer is naturally impossible to transfer at this price, the difference between retail and wholesale prices is still valid in the sale and purchase of land. However, Fang Mingyuan no longer has the heart to talk to the military, anyway, in less than two years, the land price in Qionghai will begin to rise wildly, no matter how much money you pay, you will definitely make a profit, and you can win more favor from the military.

"Uncle Zhao, if the land rises in the future, we won't count the accounts," Fang Mingyuan reminded at the time. He had to give ** a vaccination first.

** Said funny: "You kid rest assured, our soldiers are talking and counting, you can buy these lands at a price of 1,600 yuan per mu, you have already spent a lot of money, Uncle Zhao knows in his heart, this land will rise in the future, that is also what you deserve in the future?" Could it be that if your investment fails, we will have to return the money to you? "Since the investment and development have been made, and the local economy has developed, the land will naturally rise, how can he not understand such a simple and easy-to-see truth.

But how did he know that the land would rise to a point that would make him jaw-dropping.

PS: The transitional chapter can be regarded as a summary of Fang Mingyuan's ninety years. Thank you all for your support in April, and for persevering in this month of many things. Hopefully, in May, there won't be so many things
