Chapter 145 Cooperation

After Koichi Sekiguchi greeted Wen Xun and got into the Mercedes-Benz S600 car, he said through a Taiwanese translator: "Wen Sang, "Fullmetal Alchemist" has now successfully sold as many as one million sets in Japan, although it was not achieved in a month, but it is already a very, very good result. It can even be said that according to this result, "Fullmetal Alchemist" is enough to enter the top 10 or even the top 3 of this year's ranking of Japanese manga monographs."

Speaking of this, the Taiwanese translator saw that Wen Xun didn't seem to understand too much, so he explained privately: "According to the statistics last year, the manga single book of "One Piece" sold as many as 30 million copies in Japan a year, the second place "Naruto" is around 7 million copies, and the third place is about 3 million copies......"

Hearing this, Wen Xun probably understood why Koichi Sekiguchi was so attentive to himself - according to his current achievements, in the comic industry, he is one of the three popular cartoonists of the year. Of course, such results will bring great profits to Kadokawa Bookstore, and at the same time, Kadokawa Bookstore is more diversified than other publishing companies, and they can also cooperate with Wen Xun to make "Fullmetal Alchemist" multimedia talk, peripheral, and commercialized.

In this way, Wen Xun himself is equivalent to a walking RMB, no, it is a walking dollar to treat a cash cow like Wen Xun, can Koichi Sekiguchi still be courteous?

"It's an honor to work with Bun-san at Kadokawa Shoten, and I hope we can create a big scene together in ......the future," said Koichi Sekiguchi.

After Wen Xun heard this, he nodded and began to feel that something was wrong. "Create a big scene?" How does this sound familiar? It sounds like Lan Yang said...

Wen Xun sat in the car and chatted with Koichi Sekiguchi about whether he had a ride or not, and after chatting for a long time, he entered Tokyo City. Narita City, where the airport is located, is about 60 kilometers away from Tokyo City, and it takes more than 20 minutes to drive on the expressway.

Not long after entering the city of Tokyo, a few people arrived in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Then he went to the headquarters of Kadokawa Bookstore, and after entering the headquarters, Wen Xun entered the conference room under the leadership of Koichi Sekiguchi. "Wen Sang, after you arrived, we should have invited you to the hotel to have a good rest. However, before we send you to rest, we have a plan that we hope you will see......"

As he spoke, under Wen Xun's curious gaze, Koichi Sekiguchi took a folder from his secretary and handed it to Wen Xun. Wen Xun took a look and found that all the Chinese characters written on it were "about the planning of a joint venture subsidiary in Chinese mainland" and such a title entered Wen Xun's eyes.

As soon as he saw this title, Wen Xun was shocked. Kadokawa Bookstore is entering Chinese mainland? What do they mean by showing such a project to Wen Xun? It was also specially translated into Chinese

"Wen Sang, that's it. Our company actually had the idea of entering Chinese mainland for a long time, but due to the current situation in your country in terms of cultural copyright, we have not turned this idea into a plan. But after working with Wen-san, I personally feel that the time has come to turn my ideas into projects......" said Koichi Sekiguchi through the mouth of an interpreter.

"En......" Wen Xun nodded, but didn't say anything else, he was waiting for Koichi Sekiguchi to continue.

"So, after proposing this plan this time, I thought, why can't we ask Wen Sang to come to our Chinese branch to share a little share?" Koichi Sekiguchi suddenly said something that surprised Wen Xun.

Regarding the background of these words, Wen Xun thought it clearly in an instant. It turned out that the beloved party mother and the government aunt have not allowed foreign investment to enter the publishing industry, just as Bertelsmann has never been able to control the publishing rights, and Kadokawa Bookstore will not be able to establish its own subsidiary if it enters China. Therefore, they must cooperate with domestic companies with publishing qualifications, and it seems that the two sides should invest in the establishment of a joint venture subsidiary.

Then, probably Koichi Sekiguchi saw that his first few operations were very good, so he wanted to tie himself to Kadokawa's chariot by dividing the shares?

"Well, I see, please let me take this project back first. I would like to give you an answer for two days and then give your company an answer. Wen Xun said very steadily at this time. He is not in a hurry to reply to the other party now, of course he has to go back to the hotel to think about the pros and cons of this kind of thing, isn't he?

"This is natural, but there is a reluctant request, I hope Wen Sang will not show this project to others...... It's not that I don't believe Wen Sang, it's just that if it is really leaked, it will have a very big impact on our company's strategy......" Koichi Sekiguchi said as he sent Wen Xun downstairs.

After Wen Xun arrived at the hotel, Wen Xun began to think about it carefully. The people at Kadokawa Bookstore didn't know that Wen Xun was operating with Lan Yang to acquire the Southwest Normal Publishing House, and looking at their idea, they should find a publishing house in the mainland that had the intention of cooperating, and then the two sides would jointly establish a joint venture company with publishing qualifications.

In this way, Kadokawa Shoten can use this as a springboard to enter the Chinese market, and it can publish some of the manga, light novels and other things that their company has copyrighted in Japan to the mainland, and it can also recruit promising writers from the mainland to sell their works in Japan......

Wen Xun felt that Kadokawa Bookstore must have been inspired by him. Because before Wen Xun, no one had ever thought that it would be possible to directly operate the works of Chinese writers to Japan, and now, Wen Xun seems to have opened a door and let everyone see a new path

"So, do you want me to come forward and make a joint venture with Kadokawa Bookstore?" Wen Xun thought of another question in an instant. Now he is talking to Lan Yang about the acquisition of the publishing house, if the publishing house is in hand, he comes to talk to Kadokawa Bookstore about the establishment of a joint investment subsidiary, what will be the benefits and disadvantages?

If so, you can make money by introducing books to the Chinese market? Although the piracy market is very yellow and violent, the genuine market should still have room for profit. In this way, it is still possible to make money by doing a branch.

The worst thing is that he was tied to the chariot of Kadokawa Bookstore. In the future, if they have all kinds of publicity needs, they will definitely come to Wen Xun to get some information......

After thinking about it, Wen Xun felt that the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. Because although it feels very troublesome to help Kadokawa Bookstore do publicity, Wen Xun will only accept propaganda that is beneficial to himself, so it is equivalent to helping him do things on his own.
