Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

"Don't you even pay attention?" Akayan Xinshui looked at him helplessly, and then said, "That guy wants to attack the publishing industry, and he chooses the most profitable manga right now. Or the Otowa of the Noma family, or the Kadokawa family, which one is not already strong? His confidence began to swell, and it was through this industry that he realized that he was only a little smart! Just wait and see, I have already made a move!"

Ryunosuke Iwasaki said with a wry smile: "I don't understand this industry at all. Akayan-san, do you also understand comics?"

"So Iwasaki-kun, you and I are the head of the family. Is it important that I don't understand?" Akayan said indifferently, "As long as there are people who understand to do things. It just so happens that my grandson understands it very much and likes it very much." .”

Iwasaki Ryunosuke was stunned: "That Hona Eyosuke?"

Chiyan Xinshui's expression sank immediately: "Chiyan Yangshui! That kid, that's why he's so disobedient! How could he betray his family name just because he likes it!"

Iwasaki Ryunosuke smiled: "Yang Shui really understands it very well, and he is always watching. So, you don't plan to let him follow in his father's footsteps and go to the factory to practice?"

"Where I tell him to go, he has to go!" Akayan Xinshui said domineeringly, and then laughed, "Since Iwasaki-kun has no intention of revenge, then let's sign a transfer agreement."

Iwasaki Ryunosuke is also very happy.

Some people can't wait to make a move, want to expand their influence in the name of revenge for Mitsubishi?

That would not be good enough.

He felt that Chiyan Xinshui would suffer a big somersault.

Chapter 264, Appearing in Dress Again

"What's so difficult about it?" Tao Zhiming looked at Yosuke Ueno's melancholy face and said contemptuously, "Of course it was difficult at first, but do you think that any newly founded club has such wealth as Dimensional Culture? They can't do it even if they have money. If it’s a good thing, you’re too ashamed of being a genius at East University, Raptor-san.”

Hearing Tao Zhiming make fun of Luna Onodera's praise, Yosuke Ueno said helplessly: "Don't mock me, there are so many geniuses in Tokyo University, and you are the only one I know who is so powerful. I'm telling the truth, so Have you carefully read the information I researched?"

"Look, Shueisha's "Shounen Jump" has a circulation of more than 400 million copies, and other mature manga magazines also have 200 million copies. Light novels are also a genre with little influence now. Tezuka Award, Akatsuka Award What, twice a year, the bonus is 50 yen or 100 million yen. The exclusive contract signed once a year, the ranking list... The research is quite solid, and this is still a matter of heart. Good job, Raptor Yosuke! "

"...That's why I said, don't make fun of me!"

"This sentence is not sarcasm." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "But, the big society has problems with the big society, understand? They are at the top, which is also a good thing for us. You see, because of their efforts, it is not Are more people entering this industry with dreams? No matter how powerful those magazines are, there are more creators. How many ideas and manuscripts are rejected? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a try here? "

Ueno Yosuke frowned: "The key is how many copies can be released... For them, the stage of becoming famous is more important..."

"Stop joking." Tao Zhiming interrupted him, "Eating is more important."

"...Hey! But the manga artists who can't be published in those magazines are of course flawed! Even if there are indeed some works with potential that have been overlooked, we haven't even formed an editorial team that understands manga! The circulation is far behind them, the editing ability is also inferior, and the quality of the works is also inferior, so how can we win?"

Tao Zhiming stared at him: "Yangjie, is this position not good enough? If not, I will give up the position of president."

Ueno Yosuke froze, then calmed down: "I see."

"Be clear, Naoe Kyosuke, Masui Takahiro, Tokuda Hidenori, and even Kazuo Yamamoto, no one has really recognized you yet. Although I trust you and believe in your potential, you can't be so cowardly and fearful Afraid of feet." Tao Zhiming emphasized a little, "You rely on me to get to this position quickly, but don't forget what kind of hardships you have to go through first if you enter another club and start as a new member!"

Yosuke Uedo remained silent.

"This little difficulty, even if you let go of your self-esteem and enjoyment, and spend 15 hours or even 20 hours a day, you should find a way to overcome it! Haven't you read a lot of comics before? You bought so many, and carefully read the comics again. Look, learn! Those creators who think they have potential, go to visit and persuade! How to increase the circulation, please ask Yamamoto-kun how to contact the bookstore!"

Tao Zhiming continued with a stern tone: "You understand, I entrust you with the things that need to start from 0, so that you can completely let the rest of the people recognize you. Starting from 0 is the easiest way to make achievements, but also the hardest. .If you have time to tell me about your difficulties, why not think about how to overcome them! Even if you don’t mention me, that Sun Zhengyi-kun you met made a career with his bare hands when he was in college!”

Yosuke Ueno broke out in cold sweat behind his back, and immediately stood up: "I understand! Actually, it's not purely to talk about difficulties, but I just think... I can ask you for advice."

"Then get straight to the point." Tao Zhiming said seriously, "This is a club, and now we are colleagues, not just chatting among classmates. Communication must be efficient! Do you have this awareness?"

"Understood!" Yosuke Uedo thought for a while and said, "I also want to participate in the recruitment of editors. After all, you can't help me manage the dimensional culture for a long time with the current attention. I also need to be familiar with the editors."

Tao Zhiming nodded approvingly: "That's the truth."

"For the Dimensional Awards, can we start to increase publicity now? There are advertisements published in newspapers or magazines. When everyone contacts the creators, it will be more convincing."

"Come up with a specific expansion plan."

"Already have some ideas..."

Tao Zhiming felt a little relieved when Yosuke Uedo started to talk about business.

This guy is indeed still working hard to evolve. The previous confession was probably due to too much pressure.

After all, I have many years of experience in the workplace, but Yosuke Ueno is a serious newcomer.

It is indeed difficult for him to become a qualified president in a short period of time.

After hearing him finish his thoughts, Tao Zhiming looked him up and down in surprise, and then said affirmatively, "Yes."

"Really?" Ueno Yosuke was a little surprised, "Is it okay to ask you to do that?"

"Of course." Tao Zhiming nodded and said seriously, "This is a very good idea, and it also has a promotional effect on WanderDance. With the help of hot events, it also has the effect of disturbing competitors. This shows that you learn to think about how to make good use of possible mobilization Resources, my influence, of course, is also a kind of resources. Well, I will optimize it again."

"Is it so powerful?" Ueno Yosuke was happy.

Tao Zhiming immediately said again: "But still the same sentence, seriously think about what to do. If you succeed, I will take you to a fun place next time. If you fail, just become a minister. I will hire a strong man to manage you !"

"..." Yosuke Uedo asked blankly, "What fun place?"

Tao Zhiming chuckled: "As expected of you... Don't stare at the girls in the club, pay attention to your identity. As long as you are good enough, you can't imagine the outside world, Yosuke."

Seeing the back of him leaving gracefully, Yosuke Uedo was imaginative for a moment.

Another test?This damn test...

He cheered himself up and got into a working state.

……

Dimensional culture's leaflet offensive is not only being spread in universities and high schools, but also in many corners of Tokyo.

Hiroki Goto, who just took over as the editor-in-chief of "Shounen Jump", frowned when he saw the flyer sent by his assistant: "What is this?"

"A new club." The assistant pointed to the top and said, "To create a comic magazine, a bounty of up to 200 million yen has been set up. The themes are love, dreams, and youth."

"200 million yen? Are you kidding me?" Hiroki Goto frowned, "What's the name of the magazine?"

"It hasn't been published yet, it's called "Comics Dimension"."

"Aren't you very laid back?" Goto Hiroki looked at him strangely, "What are you showing me a magazine that hasn't been published yet? Can't you just stare at "Shounen Sunday"?"

"...No." The assistant said helplessly, "You may not have paid attention. The president of this dimension culture is Tao Dalang in the previous news. Didn't you ask the editors to discuss with the author whether they can use his themes to create Urban romance comics?"

"What?" Hiroki Goto thought for a while and patted his head, "I remembered, I did read the news reports at the time. So what if he is the president?"

"Money! Money!" the assistant reminded, "That guy is a new rich man who can invest 20 billion yen. The way they are distributing leaflets this time is just like that President Tao showed his love to Miss Shangtian before. It is very grand Ah. That guy is very good at publicity. Although the first issue has not yet been launched, if the first issue has a circulation of hundreds of thousands of copies, it should not be underestimated!"

"What kind of manga does that guy know?" Goto Hiroki didn't care, "You have to pay attention, and you have to wait for them to actually come up with their works before seeing their strength."

"...Anyway, it's also my job to tell you about this news." The assistant didn't care, in fact, he was just doing his duty, thinking that with Tao Dalang's financial resources, he might pose a threat.Seeing that the editor-in-chief didn't care much, he said, "The president's office asked me to tell me that the meeting will be held at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Meeting again!" Hiroki Goto was annoyed, "I haven't reviewed this issue of the magazine yet!"

"Special confession, there are important personnel arrangements! It is related to our magazine."

"What?" Hiroki Goto paid more attention now, "A personnel arrangement related to our magazine that requires my personal participation?"

"That's right." The assistant confirmed.

"……I see."

This news made Goto Hiroki faintly worried, not knowing exactly what kind of change it was.

The work continued as usual, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as he came to the meeting room, he saw a young man with an excited expression and a solid figure sitting in it.

"Are you the editor-in-chief of "Shounen Jump"? Are you familiar with Che Tian-kun?" The young man couldn't help but ask.

Goto Hiroki felt very puzzled: "Who are you?"

The tone is not very polite.

"My name is Huona Jiangyangshui!" The young man took a step back in high spirits and put on a stance, "Tianma Meteor Fist——"

Goto Hiroki was stunned: Is this a fool?

However, his posture and the way he punches are very powerful.

Huona Jiangyang Suwon punched a few times, and then put on a Zilong posture, then asked enthusiastically: "I heard that the animation is going to be broadcast, when is it?"

Goto Hiroki pointed at him and looked at another person in the room: "What's the matter with this guy?"

"He is a young man who likes manga very much. Goto-kun, wait for the president to explain to you."

While waiting for the president to come, Goto Hiroki was very disturbed by this fanatical manga fan, but Hona Jiang Yangshui had a thick skin.

Afterwards, the news announced by the president made Goto Hiroki slap the table and stood up: "What? Ask him to be the editor of "Shounen Jump"."

"That's the decision." The president said to another person, "Let's take Chiyan-kun to get acquainted first."

Huona Jiangyangshui's posture was very upright, but after bowing, he said: "Master President, please call me Huona Jiangyangshui!"

"Yes, Mr. Huona Jiang." The president smiled.

When the two left, Goto Hiroki couldn't help but said, "President, what's going on? Just randomly arrange someone who hasn't passed the examination to enter the editorial department?"

"...Goto-kun, you are a young man who is very passionate about manga, aren't you?"

"You look like a fool!" Hiroki Goto went crazy, "If you are passionate about manga, you may not be able to work as an editor!"

"You're the editor-in-chief, aren't you? If he's not competent, I can explain to others."

"What is this..."

The president sighed: "Anyway, let him try it first. This is... a request from the owner of the Chiyan family of the Mitsubishi consortium. This Chiyan Yangshui is the grandson of the owner of the Chiyan family, the young master of the Chiyan family."

"..." Goto Hiroki blushed, "It's messing around, isn't it?"

"Maybe he is a person with potential?" The president is also very helpless, "If he finds that the editor's job is actually boring, he will probably lose enthusiasm. Don't blame me, this is what the president personally confessed."

"...Are you kidding me?" Goto Hiroki looked at the helpless president, feeling troubled.

Just took office as editor-in-chief, there are a lot of things to do, do I have to take care of this idiot?

……

Irie Yuta is also acting like a fool now, looking at Tao Zhiming and saying, "What? Character... role-playing?"

"This is work!" Tao Zhiming said seriously, "I can't refuse!"

"..." Irie Yuta was very embarrassed, "Okay...but..."

"Take this as a WanderDance test site and equipment event, and it will have a publicity effect." Tao Zhiming ordered, "As for the costumes and on-site props, Yosuke has already contacted and prepared."

"It's too shameful..." Irie Xiongtai sighed, "Do you really want to do this?"

"Don't you think it's fun?" Tao Zhiming said cheerfully, "Okay, when you have nothing to do, go back and read the comics carefully. No matter what, you have to show your temperament!"

"..."

Tao Zhiming looked at the already decent ballroom, and nodded with satisfaction: "Compared with the ballrooms I've been to, this place is already much better."

Although because of the materials and equipment, this place is far from the later disco in my impression.But in the contemporary dance hall, it still has a more sense of design.

Irie Yuta really doesn't know how effective such an activity will be, but... Anyway, the boss thinks it's good, so it must be right.

Three days later, on the way to work, Sakai Quanshui finally saw the advertisement for the activity Tao Zhiming mentioned.

She glanced away before looking away, lowered her head and quickened her pace.

Fortunately, I only need to sing a song, not like a bell.Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for the photo to be hung in such a high place now.

However, there must be more people that night than in Hokkaido before, right?

And there will be journalists...real music journalists.

Sakai spring water has begun to tense.

Practice...just practice a lot...

On the way to work, Goto Hiroki also saw those advertisements, and couldn't help being a little confused.

This...why does it look like an advertisement for "Shounen Jump"?

On the huge billboard, Hoshino Suzu played the role of Saori in "Saint Seiya", with an unrivaled temperament.

And in front of her is a cosplay photo of Tao Zhiming wearing the Pegasus Cloth, looking at her from a distance.

Behind Tao Zhiming, there are four silhouettes of saints, obviously also played by real people.

The blank space between Tao Zhiming and Hoshino Ling is the message of the advertisement:

【Love·Dream·Youth】

【"Comics Dimension" Press Conference】

[9.25, WanderDance costumes and singing]

The address and phone number are listed there.

This is of course an event held by that dimensional culture, Goto Hiroki was really dumbfounded.
