Chapter 412: Dilemma
Bao Ji saw Shang Haozhi come in and motioned for him to find a chair to sit opposite him.
After Shang Haozhi sat down, Bao Jiyi said, "What's the matter, you can't say it during the New Year, you have to say it in person?" ”
"Before the Chinese New Year, I went to visit Mr. Wang Yunze."
"That's as it should be, he has been working for the magazine for more than ten years, and if we have time, we should visit him." Bao Jiyi said.
"Tong Yu also went to visit Teacher Wang Yunze." Shang Haozhi said in a deep voice.
Bao Jiyi's brows furrowed, and his sharp gaze projected through the lenses, which shocked Shang Haozhi.
"What do you mean? Cut the ground from under somebody's feet? He is powerful, but Yishu culture is not vegetarian. Bao Jiyi hammered the table hard, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged.
If it's just digging the foot of the wall, forget it, Feng Shuo is digging the root of "ic future".
"What is Wang Yunze's attitude, I haven't asked yet...... If you ask directly, I'm afraid that Mr. Wang Yunze will be suspicious. Shang Haozhi explained.
"But it's not a way to just keep stiff." Bao Jiyi was in a very bad mood, leaning on the back of the boss's chair, his face gloomy.
"Yes, but it's a partnership between us and the author."
"Can't you qualify the author? If they really leave, simply, even if they come back in the future, they will no longer sign their works. There was a bit of anger in Bao Jiyi's words.
"Please, like Mr. Wang, he is also one of the best cartoonists in the industry, if we refuse to apply, there will be countless magazines to sign him." Shang Haozhi said.
"That's right...... What if we teamed up with other magazines? Bao Jiyi had a whim and said it casually.
"What do you mean?"
"It's an agreement with other magazines that if you change jobs without permission, other magazines can't accept the author." Bao Jiyi's face was obviously angry.
The matter between Feng Shuo and Wang Yunze is obviously disgusting to him.
"But the risks ...... Mr. Bao, you specialize in business and know the risks of doing so, right? Shang Haozhi reminded.
Bao Jiyi was silent.
If the cartoonists are dissatisfied and leave one after another, "IC Future" will definitely collapse; Moreover, it may also produce a formidable opponent.
Once this happens, it will be tantamount to a catastrophe for "ic future".
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the cartoonists were not stupid.
Moreover, now it is only confirmed that Wang Yunze and Tong Yu have contact, but I don't know anything else.
"Another point is that no matter how you look at it, this treaty is to protect our rights and interests, and other magazines have little benefit. You don't really think that there are magazines and societies that keep their promises, do you? Shang Haozhi complained.
Banning cartoonists? No way.
This is not possible as long as there are competing companies.
Bao Jiyi rubbed his forehead, knowing that he was a little upset just now, and waved his hand, "That's what I said, don't care." Now, no matter what you do, the magazine will be more dangerous, and you can only respond to all changes with the same. ”
"What should I do with Mr. Wang Yunze?"
"Find out Mr. Wang's mind first, don't irritate him, and we'll discuss it then."
In the final analysis, although Wang Yunze is a signature cartoonist, if there is really no him, Yishu Culture can hold on, and what Bao Jiyi is afraid of is a chain reaction.
In case of an accidental trick, Yishu Culture will lose its current status in an instant.
When a supermarket goes bankrupt, it attracts a lot of customers to grab the goods.
He didn't want Yishu to be a bankrupt supermarket, and he wouldn't give other magazines a chance to rob cartoonists.
Shang Haozhi nodded, Bao Jiyi's words are not wrong, don't erect an imaginary enemy first, make the situation clear first.
"Also, by March, we will have to get the contract for 50 digital comics, and we will soon serialize these comics on the Internet."
"Well, these tasks have been communicated to the editors, and there should be results soon." Shang Haozhi nodded and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Set the ...... of the award"
"Oh, that...... Ahem, I think setting up awards to raise backbone authors should have an effect, but authors like Wang Yunze can't be cultivated by awards. It not only requires the author to have super strength, but also needs to have opportunities. ”
"Yes."
Bao Jiyi's statement is also correct.
"Look...... It shouldn't be set this year, and it will be next year at the earliest. ”
At this time, Bao Jiyi also calmed down.
Now we can only move forward one step at a time, and each step must be purposeful.
Shang Haozhi also took a deep breath, and after saying a few more words to Bao Jiyi, he left the office.
Coming to the elevator, Shang Haozhi took out the small book of this issue.
There were countless times when he wanted to take out the little book, but he held back.
The current state of affairs is the result of a combination of factors, and all the blame should not be placed on the author. And the situation of other magazines is not necessarily better than that of "IC Future".
Putting expectations on Shen Xin is unfair to Shen Xin.
Shang Haozhi glanced at the small book twice, tore it into pieces casually, and threw it into the trash.
……
After "their respective returns", "Steel Chain" launched another extra issue in the 5th issue of the magazine, called "Military Dog", that is, the story of Lisa's adoption of a military dog, which has little to do with the text.
After this remark, Shen Xin took another week off.
Because Xi Muhan explained to the school that he was looking for a job, he also stayed in Hongchuan and created "The Country of Huai".
This closure gave the two time to go to the housekeeping center and hire a cooking aunt.
Write down your personal information and phone number, and the home economics center will indicate that if there is an eligible aunt, you will definitely notify the two in time.
The two men had to wait two or three days for an answer from the home economics center.
One day after that, Shen Xin and Xi Muhan went to the playground again, and although they were very tired, their spirit was restored.
When the two returned to their residence, it was already evening.
Shen Xin had just gotten out of the taxi when his mobile phone rang suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Xi Muhan watched Shen Xin take out his mobile phone with a curious expression.
"Senior sister's phone, who knows what's going on?" Shen Xin replied and connected the phone, "Hey, senior sister......"
"Open the door, I'm downstairs." Ji Yinxuan said straight to the point.
"I'm out there too."
"When will you be back?" Ji Yinxuan's tone was anxious.
"We're at the door." Shen Xin was a little puzzled, Ji Yinxuan rarely looked for him, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"There's a bit of a rush...... I'm waiting for you downstairs now. Ji Yinxuan said patiently.
Xi Muhan saw Shen Xin hang up the phone, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”
"I didn't say it. She was waiting for us downstairs and we'll find out when we got back. Shen Xin replied.
Before he came downstairs to the studio, Shen Xin saw three people standing downstairs, two of whom were Ji Yinxuan and Xia Luo, and another man, whom he had never seen.
"What's the matter, let's go up and talk about it, shall we? This is not the place to talk. ”
When Ji Yinxuan saw Shen Xin, her mood was also much calmer, she bowed her head slightly, and said to the middle-aged man, "Mr. Guo, let's go up first, shall we?" ”
