Chapter 266: Return
Li Ze shook his head lightly and said, "It's not about money, it's just for ideals, I want to be more successful in the comic industry." Not only do I want to provide excellent comics, but I also want to have my own manga magazine that provides the best quality works for lovely readers. ”
"That's my goal, that's my mission, that's my ideal."
"Ideal, priceless!"
……
Although Editor-in-Chief Hou has always shown full sincerity, trying to keep Li Ze and Xiao Xiami.
But leaving Foot River is something Li Ze has already decided, and in the end, the editor-in-chief can only accept this result with disappointment.
However, after all, the cooperation was very pleasant, and Li Ze still kindly raised the hand of the editor-in-chief.
Taking out a stack of scripts, Li Ze said: "At present, the remaining manuscripts of Dragon Ball are enough for you to be serialized for at least two years, and if the Foot River man is willing to slow down the serialization, it can even be serialized for five years!" ”
"And this stack of scripts, I'm the latest "Dragon Ball GT", the story is not very long, but I feel very good. You can set Dragon Ball GT as an official fanjin. ”
Editor-in-Chief Hou's eyes lit up suddenly, if Li Ze said this, the remaining comic drafts of "Dragon Ball" could be supported for two or three years casually.
Coupled with this stack of "Dragon Ball GT", it is completely possible for the Foot River man to eat Dragon Ball for at least 5 more years!
To be reasonable, in 5 years, it is time for the foot river man to get rid of the sequelae of small shrimp.
Li Ze put the thick stack of scripts in the hands of the editor-in-chief, and said: "This stack of scripts for "Dragon Ball GT" is written in great detail, I can give you the ownership of the script now, and I don't need a penny of manuscript fees." ”
Li Ze took out another CD from his bag, "This is the theme song of "Dragon Ball GT" that I asked a professional singer to sing - "Gradually Attracted to You", I can also give it to you together." ”
Don't blow it or black, what Li Ze gave is definitely a big gift!
A script written by the author of "Dragon Ball"!
The latest single from the author of "Until the End of the World"!
If you have to measure it by money, it definitely belongs to the grade worth hundreds of millions!
And Li Ze chose to give it away for nothing.
"I don't need any money here, but I want to open a publishing house, but I lack relevant talents, so I want Tianniu to change jobs, is that okay?"
Although Tianniu is now the main force of the Foot River manhood, the editor-in-chief Hou still has a good idea of which is more important than the script of "Dragon Ball GT".
And Tianniu also readily agreed to Li Ze's recruitment.
Although leaving the industry boss and going to a new publishing house that has not yet opened is even a kind of career regression.
But after several years of cooperation, Tianniu has full confidence in Li Ze.
Follow Mr. Li, there is meat to eat!
broke up peacefully with Foot River, and Li Ze began to start the preparatory work of his own magazine in a low-key manner.
However, after a period of preparation, Li Ze found that starting a new magazine from scratch was much more troublesome than he imagined.
It's better to buy a magazine with a full staff, so that you can take over seamlessly and start working at any time.
And Li Ze also found a target.
A small but not small comic book publishing house.
Iwate Shoten!
Iwate Shoten, because of the serialization of "Slam Dunk", successfully joined the million-circulation club.
However, after Xiao Xiaomi's turn of head and foot river, the development of Iwate Bookstore also fell into a bottleneck.
In the past few years, not only has it not been able to go further, but the circulation has fallen below the million mark.
Today, Iwate has an average circulation of about 900,000 copies per issue.
And Li Ze has enough funds to buy this magazine.
Everyone is an acquaintance, and Li Ze disappeared, visited the door, and said his purpose straight to the point.
The boss of Iwate thought for a moment, and then said, "A few years ago, I had the ambition to make Iwate a new first-line magazine. One million copies, two million copies...... Or even three to five million copies. ”
"But, well, now I get it. There are some things that you can't succeed with hard work. ”
"Iwate Bookstore is under my hands, and it is impossible to make any progress."
"If Mr. Li promises not to change the name of Iwate Bookstore, I am willing to transfer Iwate Bookstore to Mr. Li."
Seeing that things were going well, Li Ze showed a pleasant smile and said, "Don't worry, I didn't plan to change my name in the first place." ”
Li Ze gave the boss of Iwate a fairly fair price, and smoothly took over everything in Iwate Bookstore in a low-key manner.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Li Ze dismissed the original editor-in-chief, and hired Tianniu as the editor-in-chief of Iwate, responsible for daily affairs.
Led the small shrimp to Iwate for a walk, and revisited the old place, everyone was emotional.
"Unexpectedly, we ended up back here."
"But this time, we're back as hosts."
"The King is back!"
"We are back as the king of manga, and we will continue to fight with the goal of becoming the king of manga publishing!"
The negotiations between Li Ze and Iwate Shoten were carried out in private, and Li Ze did not plan to announce the news before starting the serialization of the new manga.
But Li Ze seems to have underestimated the ability of the paparazzi in this world, especially the focus of the industry such as Li Ze and Xiao Xiami, and there are reporters digging up relevant information all the time.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news that Li Ze had acquired Iwate Shoten was quickly spread.
As soon as this news came out, the direct consequence was that the current Iwate Bookstore was sold out!
Even though there are no manga under the umbrella of Xiao Xiami in the current Iwate Shoten magazine, enthusiastic fans still sold out of Iwate Shoten directly.
If you don't hold the magazine in your hand and confirm it with your own eyes, fans will always not give up.
At the same time, even though it was only the acquisition of Iwate Shoten, a small and medium-sized magazine with a circulation of less than one million, public opinion was in an uproar.
Netizens and experts have discussed a lot and speculated about Xiao Xiami's next move.
"Hi Nima! What is the situation when Xiao Xiami changes jobs? You don't want Dragon Ball to be eunuchs, right? ”
"Impossible, about Dragon Ball, Lee always solemnly promised!"
"I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe in men's mouths!"
"Could it be that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the high-level Foot River and Xiao Xiami?"
"According to the analysis of this newspaper, after continuously creating palace-level comics of games, Xiao Xiami already has the strength to support a magazine independently."
"Maybe it's something to do with Xiao Shrimp's new comics? Looking forward to it! ”
