Yoshizumi, who was not convinced in his heart, found Kishimoto again.

"Mr. Kishimoto, don't you feel that the contract for the Penguin Comics original platform is too overbearing? They say that they are acting as an agent for your copyright, but in fact, they have already sued your copyright through this agency relationship. We at Shueisha are very optimistic about your Hokage, and I hope that you will cancel it, or directly auction your various copyrights to Shueisha. Rest assured, we at Shueisha, Japan's largest manga publisher, will definitely give you a satisfactory price. ”

It's just that Kishimoto didn't show much interest in Yoshizumi's call again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yoshizumi, if I sell you the copyright Guò Penguin alone, then, I am in breach of contract, and I can't do this." ”

"Don't worry, Kishimoto, we'll ask the best law firm to help you win this lawsuit."

"No, Yoshizumi-san, you probably haven't understood what I mean. When I say I can't do this, it's not that I can't do it, it's that I don't want to. ”

"Don't want to?"

Yoshizumi is a little stunned, and who in this world can't get along with money.

Could it be that this guy Kishimoto has been poor all these years and has already regarded money like dung?

"Kishimoto, I want you to think about it."

"Mr. Yoshizumi, I've thought about it well. Regardless of whether there is overbearing on this contract, I signed it. Moreover, before I signed it, I knew that they had taken the rights to represent my work. I'm not worried, though. I believe that Penguin will be responsible for my copyright, and at the same time, you also know that otaku like me have never understood all kinds of copyright processing, and it is not impossible to leave it to Penguin to take care of. Besides, without penguins, there would be no Hokage. ”

"Oh my God, Kishimoto, how could you have such an idea. I dare to guarantee that even if your Hokage is not placed on the Penguin platform and is serialized by our Shueisha, it can also be popular. No, even hotter than it is now. Did you know that the Penguin platform can limit your growth? After all, this is an online platform, and he will never be able to transcend reality. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Yoshizumi, maybe you don't know, in the past seven years, I have mailed you Shueisha no less than 30 times. But ......"

This said, Yoshizumi's heart was cold.

Faced with this manga author who has been rejected by Shueisha more than 30 times, he will believe Shueisha again, and then there will be ghosts.

"Alright, Kishimoto, you should think about it."

In desperation, Yoshizumi had no choice but to end the call.

It's just that what Yoshizumi doesn't know is that it seems that the reason why Kishimoto doesn't go to Shueisha seems to be that Shueisha rejected Kishimoto more than 30 times.

But, Kishimoto asked himself, this wasn't the real reason for him to join the penguins. The real reason is the living expenses of 5,000 yuan a month. Yes, although 5,000 yen is less than the minimum wage of a Japanese worker, just not to starve to death. However, in the most difficult time, the 5,000 yen became Kishimoto's life-saving food.

This is not Kishimoto's feelings alone.

In addition to Kishimoto, those authors who received the living expenses of the Penguin Comics original platform are also grateful.

Even in the future, in addition to Kishimoto, the Penguin Comics original platform has given birth to more star comic writers.

However, these comic book writers still regard penguins as their most respected platform.

In addition, it has been acting as an agent for its own copyright to the Penguin platform.

Of course, in order to give the comic book author such an innovation as living expenses. Later Shueisha also tried.

Shueisha saw such a measure at that time, and also followed the example of the Penguin Comics original platform, and recruited some original comic creators. They provide them with living expenses every month, and they look forward to a breakthrough from these authors. However, later, such a plan was directly declared over and officially failed.

They found that Shueisha gave such a living allowance, but they couldn't have their manga serialized in Shueisha. And these manga could not be serialized in Shueisha, nor could they provide Shueisha with any profit, but instead wasted a huge amount of money. The most important thing is that those comic book authors who take living expenses, because their comics are not serialized, just bury their heads in such creations, and finally feel powerless, and in the end, their creations are also disappearing under the slow passing of passion.

However, for the Penguin Comics original platform, such a full attendance award has become more and more popular in the future.

Such popularity is not only because countless comic authors have received life-saving living expenses, but more importantly, they know that the comics they create can be released when they receive living expenses. Although this release is not on the paper magazine platform. However, in the face of a huge number of Internet users and countless comic book readers, this is also a stimulus in itself.

Over time, Penguin Comics has also dared to surpass the Japanese comic giant Shueisha in a very small aspect.

That's of course an afterthought.

After the breakdown of Shueisha's cooperation, a number of manga publishing agencies found the Penguin platform.

While most comic book publishers have turned down Zhang Ning's partnership with their penguin logo, there are still some smaller publishers. Some of these publishing houses are not very well-known, and they were even oppressed by large publishing giants such as Shueisha. But in order to make a profit, they agreed to the agreement of the Penguin comics platform.

In this regard, the paper version of Naruto, which was also jointly sold by Penguin and the physical publishing house, entered the Japanese market.

Prior to this, some people said that Naruto should be able to sell a record of 100,000 copies that week.

Some people also say that maybe Naruto's sales will be higher, and it can break 200,000, after all, it is very popular on the Internet.

However, no matter how many people guessed, they didn't guess how popular Naruto really was.

At the time of the week's sale, because it was a small publishing house and the Penguin platform, and several large publishing houses jointly suppressed it, Naruto's first sales points were not rolled out throughout Japan. However, all the fans who heard the news that Naruto was going to sell on the same day rushed to the sales location overnight and lined up all night.

Yes, they're just in line.

Standing in line, just to buy a comic book.

On this day, Naruto completed his legendary journey, selling 3 million copies on the same day, making Japanese history. Moreover, almost every news media in Japan is reporting such a miracle.

Since then, the world has one more classic.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the media.

The best manga in the world is still in Japan.

The best manga in Japan is no longer in Shueisha, but in Penguin.

And the penguins are Chinese.
