"...It's very regrettable, but regarding this issue, Chairman Tao should also entrust a lawyer to discuss with our attorney."
"President Ogino, I always feel that your club is a bit hostile to me. Could it be that our newly established club has already been regarded as an enemy by your club?"
"...Where is it, so I said it all. This is also at the request of the partner, so I have to come forward to protect everyone's interests. In my heart, I actually welcome the emergence of new forces in the industry. How can President Tao be regarded as a What about the enemy?"
"Really? Then I understand. I thought that because I also served as the president of Sanyou Investment Bank, a joint venture between Sumitomo Bank and Mitsui Bank, President Ogino paid too much attention to me. If I have the opportunity, I really hope to ask Ogino The president asked some questions about the industry."
The opposite party paused for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Sanyou Investment Bank?"
"Yeah." Tao Zhiming's heart moved, he didn't know the news, "Actually, the direction of our dimensional culture is light novels, and the themes of comic magazines are also love, dreams and youth, and the positioning of "Shounen Jump" does not completely coincide. Holding this event, I thought it would also help promote this work, and establish a friendly cooperative relationship with your company in the future. Now it seems that it is a bit troublesome."
After continuing to talk nonsense, Tao Zhiming felt that the other party really didn't know his current status.
Is it really overthinking?
But having said that, Dimensional Culture is still preparing for activities at its own pace.
……
"Grandpa! Why did you invest in Shueisha! No one in the family understands manga, since you agreed to let me try it, and now you do something like this, what stand do I have to face my seniors and superiors!"
When Huona Jiangyangshui returned home, he yelled at his grandfather.
Chiyan Xinshui scolded angrily with a straight face: "I'm sorry! Did you talk to me like this? Do you think I agreed with you to go to that place for you to play?"
"What exactly do you want?" Huona Jiangyangshui said with a straight face and was very upset.
"You bastard! What kind of attitude is this?"
Chiyan Xinshui swung the cane in his hand and swung it over. Huona Jiangyangshui raised his hand to block it, but Chiyan Xinshui's hand hurt from the shock.
"Damn it! Are you trying to piss me off?" Chiyan Xinshui blushed with anger, "You have grown up! I asked you to practice karate since you were a child, and if you don't join the Self-Defense Force, is it just to fight me?"
"I'm not interested in such things at all!" Huona Jiangyangshui said confidently.
"Since you are interested in such things as comics, I will find something for you that also meets my needs!" Chi Yan said in a deep voice after sitting down with mixed emotions, "Listen! Since young people like it, then If you plant something, make good use of it! Our economic strength is already at the best level in history, second only to the United States. However, in the prosperous era, we must not forget martial arts! We must not forget that in addition to material strength, You also need to be mentally strong! Your mission is to use these things that young people like, so that in the future of our country, those men who are about to grow up will not always look at something inexplicable!"
"...What is an inexplicable thing?" Huona Jiang Yangshui knew his grandfather very well, and he asked angrily, "Could it be that you want "Juvenile Jump" to publish only works that promote those things?"
"Of course!" Chiyan Xinshui is not stupid after all, "Besides, the time is ripe! Now, even the United States must face up to our economic strength. In 20 years... no, ten years! We must become an upright country .At that time, we need to obtain a position in the world that matches our strength! How can young people who are intoxicated with pleasure be able to take on the responsibilities of the future?"
Huona Jiang Yangshui confirmed it, and couldn't help but argue: "The theme of "Youth Jump" is friendship, hard work and victory. It is a work for teenagers. Why do you want to involve such things? Are you crazy?"
"Isn't this about victory?" Chiyan Xinshui said with a look of hatred, "youth, what you need most is these spirits! Since comics already have such a wide influence, they should take their responsibilities! Not only that , music, animation, film, television, all should take their responsibilities!"
"...Forgive me." Huona Jiangyangshui smiled, "Times have changed, Grandpa."
"No matter what era, someone must take on such a mission!" Chiyan Xinshui reprimanded, "Since you like these things, you must also find your mission from them! This is the will of our Chiyan family!"
Huona Jiangyangshui roared: "The will of the Chiyan family? For this will, my father died! Is there any meaning?"
Chi Yan Xinshui's expression froze, and then he said with a stiff neck: "Of course! He died in a great cause!"
"Whatever you want." Huo Najiang Yangshui sneered, "Since you have such thoughts about Shueisha, then I will not do what you say. If this must be the case, I will resign from the president."
"Chiyan Yangshui! You kid... can you take responsibility for your own future? How long are you going to play around like this?"
"My name is: Huona Jiangyangshui! The so-called Chiyan family's will, I have no interest in that kind of thing! For my own life, I will only follow my own will!"
Chi Yan was really furious: "You are the heir of the Chi Yan family! Do you want me to be a laughing stock with that inexplicable surname?"
Huona Jiangyangshui replied calmly, "I don't want to debate with you whether such a career is great or not. In short, I have no interest in inheriting the Chiyan family, so you have nothing to blackmail me."
"Do you think that you can enjoy the wealth created by the family, but you can stay out of it?"
"I would rather be born in an ordinary family and have a perfect family."
"..." Chiyan Xinshui trembled all over, and roared: "Without the help of the family, do you think you can be as free as you are now? In the field you like, exercise hard, and then do what I say, that's it. It's an order!"
"I refuse." Huo Najiang Yangshui said disgustedly, "Good Shueisha, if our Akayan family toss and lose the previous style, I will only be more ashamed of the word Akayan."
"Say it again!" Chiyan Xinshui raised his cane and pointed at him unsteadily.
"I said, I refuse!" Huo Na Jiang Yangshui looked directly at the old man, "I'm not the only heir to the family. Don't you have an illegitimate son?"
"Bastard... bastard..." Chiyan coughed angrily, "How can you tarnish the name of Chiyan like this? Bastard...you get out! Get out of Chiyan's house! Try it, without the protection of the family, can you Can’t survive! Get out!!”
"It's just what I want." Huona Jiangyangshui grinned, turned around and walked out.
At the door, he stopped again.
"Have you started to regret it?" Chiyan Xinshui sneered.
"No." Huo Najiang Yangshui looked back at him pitifully, "It is because there are many people like you that our country has no future."
Then Huona Jiangyangshui smiled brightly: "Why don't you understand?"
Chi Yan was stunned, and then drank violently: "Get out! Get out!"
……
"The Chiyan family?" Tao Zhiming put away the bamboo knife and was stunned.
Ueda Masahiro nodded: "Come here today, this matter is more important."
"You mean, the Chiyan family became the shareholders of that Shueisha. The request to sue Dimensional Culture was proposed by that old guy Chiyan Xinshui?"
For Tao Zhiming, who has already entered the upper circle, he began to enjoy the convenience of a wide range of intelligence sources.
"That's right." Ueda Masahiro walked back to the living room and sat down at the coffee table, "The Iwasaki Kuranosuke incident, after all, harmed the interests of Mitsubishi. The Akayan family is willing to use their own strength to encircle you in business, and Mitsubishi has also won acquiescence."
Tao Zhiming frowned: "Have you thought too much? What's the use of such a lawsuit with a lot of room for defense?"
"The Xiangga family can accept the capital injection from the Akayan family, it must be exchanged for enough benefits. Besides, aren't they the strongest in the industry? If you stop your development head-on, the chances of winning are great." Ueda Masahiro was a little worried, "This is An upright conspiracy is not a trick that will reveal your flaws when used against you."
"If you don't play shady tricks, then why am I worried?" Tao Zhiming didn't worry anymore, "It's really overthinking to beat me upright in business."
"..." Masahiro Ueda was a little puzzled, "Where did you get your confidence?"
Tao Zhiming grinned and said: "It's easy to know who the opponent is. Now that the Chiyan family has started to invest in Shueisha, they may have more ideas. It's just hindering my development, so why should the Chiyan family make a move? Now that they have made a move , Maybe you want to control Shueisha and plan for greater profits."
"If you want to deal with you, you have to go all out. Isn't this normal? Don't you have no idea about your own destructive power?" Ueda Masahiro thought that even Iwasaki Kuranosuke wiped his neck.
"That's right! As long as you want to make me fail through business, and then make me more and more weak in the cooperation with Sumitomo and Mitsui, that's fine! Maybe this is a good opportunity for me to grow rapidly "Akayan Shinsui, if I remember correctly, when you were planning the matter of Iwasaki Kuranosuke, you said he was a very stubborn guy with a very right-minded thinking?"
Masahiro Ueda nodded.
Tao Zhiming was very happy: "A windfall."
"... Is this something to be happy about?" Ueda Masahiro really didn't understand.
Hearing that Dimension Culture was sued, he learned more about Shueisha's situation through his relationship, and then heard the news from Mori Taikichiro, and hurried to find Tao Zhiming.
Unexpectedly, he didn't care at all, and was even very happy.
"Of course it's worth being happy!" Tao Zhiming was bursting with joy, "A good boss in the comics industry may be ruined by Chi Yan's family, can I not be happy? Maybe this is a good opportunity for me to poach a lot of talents!"
"...You underestimated the ability of the Chiyan family, right?"
"No, no, I believe he has a lot of follow-up ideas, but such a sudden cooperation will always bring disadvantages. Even if the Xiangga family and the Akayan family exchanged some benefits, it is very happy, but in the well-developed Shuei Club The talented people who work will definitely be disrupted. At least, maybe the management will be turbulent. Doing things also requires people to do things. If the members are turbulent, his goal will not be so easy to achieve."
Tao Zhiming really felt that this was a windfall.
Is this a direct butterfly storm caused by oneself?Because Iwasaki Kuranosuke was killed, Akayan Shinsui actually moved his mind to deal with him through Shueisha.
That kind of guy with strong spiritual thoughts must think he is playing a big game of chess.
Ran and egg.
Tao Zhiming only knows: "Juvenile Jump", which is developing well and is about to usher in its golden age, may start to be turbulent in the short term, and may even change its flavor in the long run.
Most cartoonists are relatively pure, and comic editors are also very reluctant to do some unflattering themes.
Didn't the Chiyan family do this to give themselves a head?
After all, the old man is an old man, indulged in the glory of the past, and he doesn't understand the young people of today.
Masahiro Ueda asked uncertainly: "It really doesn't matter?"
"It's okay!" Tao Zhiming said with certainty, "Now is the age of pleasure! Patriarch Chiyan doesn't even realize that the times have changed, and still wants to beat me in this field?"
After finishing speaking, he sighed: "I thought it might be a more difficult situation than Iwasaki Kuranosuke."
"...Why are you so sorry? You guys, you are already responsible for Shana, so don't do anything dangerous!"
"Yes, yes, thank you for your concern." Tao Zhiming said seriously, "I am indeed just developing in a low-key manner, and I have not done other dangerous things. And when something goes wrong, isn't it right away to find a countermeasure? False alarm , I feel much more at ease now."
He patted his thigh and stood up: "You can go to the task with confidence."
Ueda Masahiro was so angry that his teeth itched: "You boy, why do you always use such words!"
"Then... practice the profound meaning of life?" Tao Zhiming asked uncertainly.
"Get out!" Ueda Masahiro couldn't hold back anymore.
Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "Be happy, master. In fact, if you relax your mood, you will find that it is good to make such jokes."
Ueda Masahiro couldn't joke with him, and waved his hand in disgust.
"If your dojo is open, if it is always so serious, the apprentices will feel very depressed." Tao Zhiming said seriously, "The night after tomorrow, go to the dance hall to relax."
"..." Ueda Masahiro's eyes were about to pop out.
This kid, is it appropriate to make such a joke with me?
Tao Zhiming has already rushed to Xia Na's room.
After a while, I heard Xia Na's laughter faintly coming from inside.
Masahiro Ueda couldn't figure it out, whether it was the Iwasaki family or the Akayan family, why didn't he always take it to heart?
Could it be that Lao Tzu's state of mind cultivation is not as good as his?
Chapter 267, Dream Ballroom
Tao Zhiming didn't take the Chiyan family too seriously, but Tao Zhiming, under the name of Tao Dalang, was taken seriously by more and more people.
In particular, the current president of Shueisha, Ogino Yoshizo, felt that something was wrong after receiving the call from Tao Zhiming, so he invited the group's president, Fumio Saga.
Along with Goto Hiroki.
At this moment, the two of them who had finished their interview with Fumio Aiga were sitting together in an izakaya in a daze.
"What should I do?" Goto Hiroki murmured after a long time.
Ogino Yoshizo also murmured: "I don't know."
Goto Hiroki sighed for a long time, and said in confusion: "So, the chairman is planning to pour his original power into the Xiaoxiaoguan and Baiquan Club?"
"Probably so..."
"Damn it!" Goto Hiroki drank his wine depressedly, "I don't know exactly what the reason is. But the expression on the chairman's face is obviously very happy."
Ogino Yoshizo silently drank the wine in the glass together.
What kind of deal Aika Fumio reached with the Akaiwa family is unknown in the identities of Ogino Yoshizo and Goto Hiroki.
But today, because of doubts about Tao Dalang's identity, he got a clear answer after asking directly.
Shueisha will be gradually sold to the Akayan family, and Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, in addition to Shueisha, also has two publishing houses, Shogakukan and Hakusensha, which also have their own comic magazines.
Although "Shounen Jump" is the strongest now, Fumio Aikaga believes that as long as the core strength of the team and the bond with the author are still there, it can also make the manga magazines under the other two clubs become the strongest.
At this point, the Akayan family recognized it and allowed Shueisha's current core team to leave.What they value is the influence of the Shueisha brand.
Fumio Xiangga even told them that if they don't want to go to Xiaoxiaokan or Baiquan Club, they can prepare to set up a new club now, and their positions remain the same.And guarantee that the development of the new club will be supported by resources that were unimaginable in the past.
For Ogino Yoshizo and Goto Hiroki, how could they be willing to grow into the strongest Shueisha, and go to other fraternity clubs, or start from scratch?
So Ogino Yoshizo smiled self-deprecatingly: "The strongest? Even if it is the strongest, it turns out that we can't even be used as a bargaining chip in their level of benefit exchange."
Hiroshi Goto echoed with disbelief: "Looking at the satisfaction of the chairman, it is probably because the Chiyan family has given conditions that the chairman can't help but act in order to deal with that enemy. Could it be that the chairman doesn't understand, A guy who can be regarded as an enemy by the Akaiyan family and the Mitsubishi consortium, why should our Hitotsubashi department get involved?"
"That guy, did you introduce war into the manga industry?" Ogino Yoshizo was very depressed, "Goto-kun, I'm afraid this matter has been planned for a long time. No wonder you and I can hold the current position instead of Saga The members of the family. Shueisha, it may have been planned for a few months ago to be exchanged!"
……
Tao Zhiming confirmed that Chiyan's family was going to attack his own business from Shueisha, and he was really relieved.
Although the Akayan family is not the original Mori family, Shueisha is not comparable to SoftWing's position in the industry at that time.
But relying on the position of the president of Sanyou Investment Bank, Tao Zhiming can indeed be immune to the common tricks.As for the layout of a specific industry, Tao Zhiming really has no reason to worry.
Instead, he was eagerly waiting for further news from Shueisha. It would be strange if such a mature assembly club had major changes at the top, and it would not cause turmoil in some of its core talents.
Struggles for power and profit can be found anywhere.For the start-up dimensional culture, isn't this a good opportunity to poach the wall?
