Online serialization is not the first to appear in China.

However, online serialization was the first in China to industrialize it.

The corresponding online serialization is the most popular and the most outstanding Internet industry in the world, that is, online reading.

In later generations, many Internet researchers have commented that online reading is one of the few examples of China's Internet leading the world.

At the same time, in later generations, the success of online reading also proved that online serialization is indeed feasible.

Just like reading, manga can also be read in an online serialized way.

In fact, Japanese manga is originally serialized, and the famous shonen weekly manga is known for its serialization. However, the Shonen Weekly manga is serialized in the form of a magazine, and he has a very large post-production. Moreover, it takes a very, very long time for a manga to go from being produced to being reviewed and then serialized in a magazine.

Some manga writers may not be able to wait that long.

Some have waited all their lives and can't wait.

Some of them quit the comics industry directly in the process of waiting.

However, if you really want to talk about it, there are actually many talented cartoonists who have disappeared because of endless waiting and lack of opportunities.

This is a great pity.

Zhang Ning has been writing about the plan, and he has predicted the feasibility of online comics in Japan from various conditions.

The manga industry in Japan is very big, and almost everyone wants to be a manga artist, and almost everyone has read manga.

At the same time, their love for comics is also more preferred than other film and television products.

From the box office list of Japanese movies, the top of the list are all animated films.

This madness for comics is incomprehensible to other countries.

However, Japan is one such country, and the manga industry has become a core economic competitiveness for them.

It is easy to master all the way, because there is a precedent for creation, and it is not difficult to launch a platform for comic book serialization.

In two hours, Zhang Ning finalized the general plan.

"Xiao Ning, do you plan to invest $100 million to open an animation website in Japan?"

Seeing this plan, Chen Qingqing was shocked, "Xiao Ning, are you confused in Yanda, our domestic animation has always had no market in Japan." No, not only in Japan, but also in our homeland, we don't have much of a market. ”

"I know, that's why I'm launching an online serialization platform, and it's also to attract Japanese manga authors."

"But what's in it for us? Isn't this a re-cultivation of the manga industry in Japan? ”

"Theoretically, it seems to be, but if we sign an agreement with these comic authors, for example, we can help them promote their comic works on the website, but their copyrights have to be handed over to us, do you think it will be good for us?"

"This, if we get the agency, or even control the entire copyright in our hands, of course, there are many benefits. But there is another problem, Xiao Ning, Japan's comic industry is their lifeblood, even if you make such a website in their country, their government will support other websites to confront you, and even, use various methods to bring down your website. ”

Multinational companies are sometimes exposed to such risks.

Unless, your technology is something they don't have, and they need it, like an operating system, to make it massive.

However, manga is the lifeblood of Japan's economy, so how can they allow foreign companies to enter?

Just like China, it is impossible for China to allow other companies to enter telecommunications, oil, transportation, electricity, finance, ...... and so on.

Even though Japan has joined the WTO and is very open, it is still dangerous to enter the Japanese manga market.

However, Zhang Ning has already thought of a way to deal with it, "I have considered such a problem, so when we enter the Japanese market, it will not be just us, we have to pull a local company in Japan." ”

This is a common method for countries to enter international markets.

Just like in the automotive industry, if you want to enter a country unilaterally, you absolutely can't.

But if you work with a local company, it becomes a joint venture, and every country will welcome it.

Zhang Ning thought of the same method, he wanted to find a company that had some power in Japan.

This can not only share most of the risk, but also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Although this is okay, Xiao Ning, who are you going to send to Japan to inspect the cooperation partner?"

"I don't need to investigate, I already have an object."

"There is a target, which company?"

"Japan's SoftBank."

"Ah......h

Chen Qingqing felt that this was incredible, "Xiao Ning, did you take the wrong medicine, we are a hostile company with Japan's SoftBank." Besides, you and Masayoshi Son, the chairman of Japan's SoftBank, have formed a lot of enmity. You're going to work with them, I'm afraid ......"

"I'm not afraid, how do you know if you don't try. In addition, there are times when hostile companies cooperate. I believe that Son is more than willing to work with us. ”

Yan Da.

It was still Yan Da, Zhang Ning and Sun Zhengyi met again.

Originally, Zhang Ning didn't think about Sun Zhengyi, but when he heard the news that Sun Zhengyi had come to Yanda, Zhang Ning suddenly thought, why not find Sun Zhengyi. Although, Son Masayoshi and himself can definitely be said to be enemies. But when the two met again, it was not as awkward as expected. Maybe both of them were merchants, or maybe both of them were people with a deep sense of the city. Even though they both hate or dislike each other, the two still sit together, and even, when they are fine, they joke.

People who don't know, where would they think that these two people are enemies, and they are obviously very good friends.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhang Ning has figured it out and is willing to accept our Japanese SoftBank's investment in your Penguin Technology?"

"Hehe, it's been so long, Boss Sun has been thinking about us penguins."

"Of course, your company has a lot of potential, but the operation of the capital is missing, I retract our previous promise, this time, you speak, how much you want, how much we give. Even if I spend all the cash of our Japanese SoftBank, I will not frown. ”

Son Zhengyi didn't mention Zhang Ning's pit on him in the car at all, as if nothing had happened before. It makes people feel that Masayoshi Son is definitely really optimistic about Penguin Technology.

"It's a pity ......"

Zhang Ning shook his head, "If Boss Sun had such an attitude at the beginning, perhaps, we penguins would have accepted your investment." ”

Seeing Zhang Ning shaking his head, Sun Zhengyi looked a little displeased, "Since Mr. Zhang Ning is still unwilling to accept our SoftBank's investment, this time he invited me to come, wouldn't it be just to drink tea and chat." ”
