At Tokyo International Airport in the island country, Zhao Chen and his mother appeared in this strange place, and there was another person beside him, but he was a Xiangjiang guide.

The guide's name is Li Yuncong, an elegant young man with glasses, although Li Yuncong is from Xiangjiang, but he has been working as a tourist guide in the island country for several years, and he seems to be quite proficient in Japanese. Zhao Chen also found Li Yuncong through his own connections, and came specifically to familiarize himself with Tokyo.

"Yun Cong, find a clean hotel to live in first! Then they will accompany me for a few days to help me get acquainted with Tokyo. ”

Zhao Chen took the luggage in his mother's hand and said to Li Yuncong next to him. He was quite unfamiliar with the island nation, and naturally needed a familiar guide.

"Master Zhao, I know!"

At this time, the time has entered March, due to the decision of the Hong Kong Governor, the sales of the director zhì "Tianxia Weekly", which had been stagnant, soared again, and in just a few days, it broke the sales record of a single comic magazine held by Huang Yulang.

Zhao Chen, who once again broke the record, became famous, and was faintly able to compete with Huang Yulang, and was recognized by most insiders in the Xiangjiang comics industry, and finally won the title of Xiangjiang comic master, alongside Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao.

In just half a year, Zhao Chen went from nothing to today's net worth of 10 million, in just over half a year, coupled with the various titles he has obtained, it belongs to a generation of legends for Xiangjiang people, and no one can reach this point in such a short period of time.

It is also for this reason that Li Yuncong willingly called Master Zhao Chen, for him, the self-made young man in front of him was enough to make him stand in awe.

As for the mother next to her, she didn't speak, but looked around, and the unfamiliar environment often made people feel confused, especially for Wang Ya, who had never seen much of the world. If you want to improve, it will take a while to adapt.

Li Yuncong helped with the luggage, and called a taxi in the direction of downtown Tokyo.

When the taxi was moving, Li Yuncong constantly introduced Tokyo as an international metropolis.

In the center of Tokyo, Zhao Chen and the three of them found a hotel and rented a suite to live in, and then began to run various procedures under the leadership of Li Yuncong.

Zhao Chen feels that the time has come, if he wants to become the greatest cartoonist, the market of the island country must be conquered, because this country has the largest number of comic consumers, and the piracy here is also the least, so it can be said that this is the paradise of all creators.

Zhao Chen undoubtedly had a lot to do, not only to start a manga company, but also to acquire a publishing house in Tokyo, and to recruit cartoonists, assistants, and various staff members for the company. This is only the preliminary, and it can be said that it is quite complicated to distribute comic magazines and expand sales channels in the future.

But Zhao Chen has no way out, and it will undoubtedly take a lot of time to enter the largest comic market in the island country. And the difficulty of the challenge is far from being comparable to that of Hong Kong, after all, the two do not belong to the same level in this regard.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen still has millions of funds at his disposal. He has already paid the two million funds owed by the acquisition publishing house, and the two million borrowed by Shangguan Xiaobao is far away.

During this time, two comic magazines and a comic daily newspaper once again made a lot of profits for Zhao Chen, and "Football Player" and "Chinese Hero" also published three comic book books, which is the real big head, plus the tax declaration brought by the sales of comics and novels in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". These alone, minus daily expenses and taxes, have brought Zhao Chen a profit of nearly eight million in just three months.

Not only that, "Happy Ghost" brought him a profit of 4 million in Xiangjiang alone, plus the sale of scripts to Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and Xiang Huaqiang respectively, he also brought 3 million script income. This is not counting the profits of "Happy Ghost" at the box office in other markets, and at that time, Zhao Chen can at least earn millions of dollars.

All these things are added up, and Zhao Chen's income can be said to be rising, and the funds alone are as much as 15 million. Even if Tokyo's consumption level is high, the funds will be enough to serve his purpose.

In addition, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has been in the island country for nearly half a year, and four single books have also been published, and the cumulative sales of these four single books are close to two million, which has brought some fans, but also made Zhao Chen lose his status in the island country comic industry. At least he can't be regarded as a rookie cartoonist, and of course it is impossible to reach the level of a well-known cartoonist, if he wants to reach the well-known cartoonist Cheng Dù in the island country, Zhao Chen can be said to have a long way to go!

Hong Kong comics may be the second largest comic genre in Asia,But the gap between it and the first Japanese comic is too big,It's not the same grade between the two at all.。 It is also for this reason that it is more difficult for Zhao Chen to obtain the title of a well-known cartoonist in the island country than to obtain the title of master in Xiangjiang.

The main reason is the huge gap in the number of cartoonists between the two and the size of the comic market, these two reasons determine the difficulty of Zhao Chen, if you want to become a comic master in the island country, it will take two or three years at the shortest.

If you want to become a master, in addition to high sales and good quality, you mainly need to be recognized by readers, and the other is the heritage, even if the fame brought by a comic is high, it will take some time to precipitate.

Zhao Chen, who is a little famous in the island country, is between a rookie cartoonist and a well-known cartoonist, and there are quite a lot of this kind of cartoonists in the island country.

Under the guidance of Li Yuncong, Zhao Chen's mother and son stopped and went all the way, going through various documents and procedures, among which Zhao Chen was delighted that he saw the poster of "Happy Ghost".

It turned out that "Happy Ghost" at this time successfully entered the island market, and it was Kadokawa Genyoshi, the founder of Kadokawa Bookstore, who did "Happy Ghost", which has to be said to be a fate, at least Kadokawa Genyoshi knew the character of Zhao Chen.

Because he is a foreigner, it took Zhao Chen a few days to set up a comic company, which still took all kinds of money to get through, otherwise it would probably take a while to get a business license.

When he founded the comic company, due to his age, the owner and legal person of the company were all served by his mother Wang Yalai, which is why Zhao Chen brought his mother to the island country. At his age, he can't start a comic company at all, but this matter is quite serious, and he can't just find someone to replace him, otherwise it will be a bamboo basket to draw water, and he can only rest assured if he hands it over to his mother Zhao Chen. When he reaches his age later, he will transfer the comic company back.

Zhao Chen's manga company is located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, one of the 23 special wards in Tokyo, including the residence of the emperor, the Diet (Nagatamachi), the Supreme Court (Supreme Court), Yasu/Kunishin/Shrine, and most of the central ministries and agencies (central administrative units), etc., all of which are located in Chiyoda Ward, so this special administrative region can be said to be the political and economic center of the island nation.

Of course, the main reason why the company was located in Chiyoda Ward is that most of the famous publishing houses and manga companies in the island country are located here, including Shueisha, Shogakukan, Shirasensha, Kodansha, and Kadokawa Shoten. This is also the place where the most comic fans in the island country have the most, and it can be said that if you want to make the comic company bigger and stronger, Zhao Chen can only choose here.

On the other hand, it is also the most competitive place, with dozens of manga companies located in Chiyoda Ward alone, and it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to strip from so many manga companies.

But Zhao Chen also has his biggest advantage, that is, the various classic comics in his head and his understanding of the future, and he can find some famous cartoonists in the future.

After Zhao Chen founded the comic company, he rented an office building of 100 square meters in Chiyoda District, which will be the specific address of the comic company in the future.

The land in Tokyo is very expensive, especially in Chiyoda District, even if Zhao Chen's existing assets are used to buy, I am afraid that he will not be able to buy even one acre, everyone knows that there are many people in the island country and there is little land, and the land in this core area is even more expensive. Zhao Chen can only rent an office building temporarily, and buy land when he has money in the future.

Under the leadership of Li Yuncong, Zhao Chen visited more than a dozen publishing houses, and finally successfully purchased a medium-sized publishing house.

It's just that unlike Xiangjiang, the land of this publishing house still belongs to the original owner, and Zhao Chen really doesn't have so much money to buy. And because he is a foreigner, Zhao Chen was also slaughtered a little, this medium-sized publishing house alone spent more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars, at the current exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and yen, that is, the price of more than 50 million yen, directly led to Zhao Chen's liquidity shrunk a lot.

It took Zhao Chen half a month to basically get these done, and it can be said that all kinds of procedures are extremely cumbersome. Fortunately, Zhao Chen can spare enough time to draw comics every day, and the drawn comics are mailed by international express mail, which does not take much time at all with the distance between Xiangjiang and the island country.

After getting these things done, Zhao Chen used the publishing house he had just acquired as a node, and used the connections of this publishing house to hire the managers of several animation companies at a high price, all of whom worked in other comic companies and had considerable management experience. At the same time, it can more or less increase the sales channels of comic companies, and it can be said that the two are mutually beneficial.

With enough managers, Zhao Chen asked them to use the high price to recruit new works from cartoonists, intending to use the slogan of high salaries to win over cartoonists, and hoping to find cartoonists with great potential.

The biggest difference between the comic magazines of the island country and Xiangjiang is the number of pages, and the number of pages of the magazine of the island country is several times that of the magazine of the island country, which means that if you want to make a comic magazine successful in the island country, you need at least ten cartoonists. No matter how powerful Zhao Chen is, if he dies, it is equivalent to three or four cartoonists, and the rest can only use other cartoonists.

After disposing of a qiē debris, Zhao Chen walked towards Shueisha under the guidance of Li Yuncong.

Shueisha is only a few hundred meters away from the manga company founded by Zhao Chen, and it only takes a few minutes to get there.

Just when Zhao Chen and Li Yuncong were about to enter Shueisha, a young man with a little childish face rushed in recklessly, aiming at Shueisha in front of Zhao Chen.

The young man was about twenty years old, and perhaps in a hurry, wanted to burrow into the void and enter Shueisha.

It's a pity that there happened to be a person in Shueisha, and the young man couldn't stop and collided with the man.

"Oops!" The person who was hit was defenseless, and he took two steps back and sat on the ground with a fart/strand.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to." The things in the young man's hands were scattered on the ground, but they were drawings one by one, his face was full of panic, and he did not immediately pick up the drafts, but came to the person who was hit, bowed slightly, and sincerely apologized.

"It hurts! You're too reckless, this is Shueisha. Luckily, it's Tsukasa Hojo, and if you bump into those famous manga artists with eccentric tempers, it's up to you to do it! ”

Tsukasa Hojo was also a young man, about the same age as the childish young man, and his temper was relatively peaceful, and he touched his fart/thigh, which was a little painful, and stood up from the ground.
