As soon as Lei Weidong entered the company, the reception lady at the door greeted him.

"Mr. Lei, two Japanese people came to visit today, and Mr. Zhong was receiving them in the reception room.

"The devil is here so soon!" Lei Weidong nodded and responded: "I know, you go and get busy!" ”

When he came to the reception room, he gently closed the door and looked at the two islanders who were sitting.

"Adong! Let me introduce you to Mr. Musashi Miyamoto, the marketing manager of Shueisha, and the other is Mr. Ichiro Matsumoto, his assistant! The two of them are Lei Weidong, the boss of our company, and the author of the novel "Xun Qin", and all the comics in our company are created by the boss himself! After Lei Weidong came in, Zhong Chuhong introduced the two sides, and added two more titles without a trace, in order to make the people of the two island countries pay more attention.

The two island nationals were more rigorous, and seemed to be able to understand the meaning of Zhong Chuhong's words, so they got up from their seats and looked at Lei Weidong.

"I didn't expect Boss Lei to be so young and create such a big career, which is really unexpected!"

To Lei Weidong's surprise, an island native named Miyamoto Musashi actually knew Mandarin, although it sounded very awkward, but the general meaning could still be heard.

"Mr. Miyamoto is polite, please sit down and talk! There is no need for a boss, the boss is too rusty! Lei Weidong didn't use Japanese when he said this, although he was reborn, he still didn't seem to have a talent for language, and his foreign language skills were very poor like in his previous life.

"Then Mr. Lei, you're welcome!" Miyamoto Musashi said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Mr. Miyamoto to speak Mandarin, and I can guess some of the intentions of the two of them! But I still have to ask, how did Mr. Miyamoto fall in love with "The King of Paintings", haven't the local comics of Xiangjiang never been successful in your country before! ”

Although Lei Weidong doesn't like island people, he has to admit that the Japanese are so polite sometimes, and he naturally can't be polite. Just like everyone treats people with things, as long as they are not too disgusted, they are more amiable on the surface.

"Maybe the previous local comics in Xiangjiang were not successful, but Mr. Lei's "Painting King" is different, like "Xun Qin Ji" this comic style is very unique, presumably it integrates the Japanese manga style, and has all kinds of success factors, which are easy for our Japanese comic readers to accept! As for the other three comics, I don't want to hide from Mr. Lei, the comics in "The King of Paintings", the first thing I saw was that they were drawn by cartoonists from our own country."

Aida Maken thought for a moment, and then said in Mandarin that was quite awkward.

Of course, this is a manga drawn by a Japanese manga artist, but I drew it in advance. Although Lei Weidong thought so in his heart, he still nodded in agreement with Miyamoto Musashi's words. At the same time, he said: "With Mr. Miyamoto's words, I am also relieved!" I also want to cooperate with your company, but it mainly depends on the sincerity of your company! ”

"Well, we've already contacted the headquarters before, and if Mr. Lei agrees, this Shueisha can pay up to 7% of the royalties alone, what does Mr. Lei think?"

"7% is too little?" Before Lei Weidong could speak, Zhong Chuhong on the side opened his mouth and said, although Zhong Chuhong didn't know the pricing of the comics, but Zhong Chuhong, who had been helping in the clothing store since he was a child, still knew how to negotiate Zhong Chuhong.

"Miss Chung, you have to believe in our sincerity! After all, you should also know that there has never been a Hong Kong comic that has been successful in your country before, and we are really only partially sure this time, and being able to give 7% royalties is mainly based on the success and quality of "The King of Paintings" in Xiangjiang! I wonder what Mr. Lei thinks? ”

"The 7% royalty is too little, if it's just "Xun Qin", it's okay, but the other three comics can't!" Lei Weidong shook his head and replied:

What are you kidding, if Lei Weidong hadn't crossed over, he might have agreed to Miyamoto Musashi's request, after all, no one can guess whether a manga is popular or not if it comes out, otherwise the royalties of those cartoonists' new comics are not very high at the beginning.

However, Lei Weidong knows the popularity of these comics, so he won't talk about "Looking for Qin", after all, Lei Weidong has never heard of "Looking for Qin" in Japan in his previous life, but the other three comics are different. Even the single book of "Sailor Moon", which has a relatively small readership, has sold 16 million copies in Japan, and as for "Fist of the North Dipper" and "City Hunter", the sales of their single books have hundreds of millions of copies, and there is a gap of hundreds of millions of dollars less than a few cents.

The expression on Aida Zhenjian's face immediately turned serious, he didn't know Lei Wei's request, but he still asked a little embarrassed: "Then I don't know how high Mr. Lei asks for royalties?" ”

"It's very simple, Mr. Miyamoto, I know that manga is usually published in Japan by serializing it in a magazine to earn a fee, and then publishing a single book. That's what I'm asking for now! ”

"What does Mr. Lei have for the manuscript fee?" Miyamoto Musashi was the first person to encounter a manga author outside of Japan who asked for a manuscript fee, and in the past, it was common to directly negotiate the distribution fee for a single book, so Shueisha usually had a large amount of money left.

"It's very simple, my requirements are not high, "Xun Qin", "Sailor Moon" will go according to the manuscript fee of the work "Daughter of the Nile", and the same is true for the single book, "Fist of the Big Dipper" and "City Hunter" I ask for the manuscript fee is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars / page, or when serialized in the magazine, I ask for 10% royalty, and the single book requires 55% of the copyright tax.

With Lei Weidong's narration, the two island people looked at each other speechlessly, they really didn't expect that the requirements of the teenager in front of them would be so high, like "Xun Qin" and "Sailor Moon" are okay, after all, they are just the requirements of ordinary first-line cartoonists. However, "Hokuto God Fist" and "City Hunter" are the lion's mouth, and no manga artist in Japan will make such a big request, that is, Akira Toriyama, the manga "Dragon Ball" that will be popular all over the world in the future, will only get 5% of the magazine royalty and 10% of the royalty of the single line.

"This ...... It's really a big deal, to be honest, I don't have this right, I need to discuss it with the headquarters! But I don't think even the headquarters will agree to a 55% royalty on a single book, which is too bizarre. ”

Miyamoto Musashi had an embarrassed expression on his face, he had never heard of a manga artist in his life would put forward such a condition, it was too unexpected, he really couldn't understand how the young man in front of him could have such a big appetite.

"Mr. Miyamoto, you may be mistaken, I am not one of those cartoonists who make a living by drawing, I am the owner of a manga company, a businessman, and the requirement of a businessman is to maximize profits, you must know that I have my own manga company, my own printing house, if I want, I can set up a manga publishing house in Japan to distribute comics, compared to those manuscript fees, the profit of the publishing company is the majority.
