Chapter 208 Kodansha comes to visit
This weekend, under the guidance of Su Cheng, Guan Jiahui can be said to be getting better at painting "Chibi Maruko-chan".

By the time she had drawn two episodes, Su Cheng no longer needed guidance.

Because what she drew is basically more than 90% similar to the original work.

As for why there is still 10% difference, it is because the background of this comic was changed by Xiao Ai, so naturally it cannot be 100% similar.

On Sunday, Su Cheng brought Guan Jiahui to Chivalry Media Company.

Here, Guan Jiahui signed an authorization contract with Chiayi Media Company.

From now on, Kwan Jiahui's "Chibi Maruko-chan" will be fully operated by Chivalry Media Company. As for the profit sharing, the contract will be based on the highest benefits.

Guan Jiahui was naturally very obedient in all this. After all, this comic was given to her by Su Cheng.

After signing the contract, Guan Jiahui also drew two episodes of comics and handed them over to Chivalry Media Company, asking them to create a weekly comic for "Chibi Maruko-chan".

"Ms. Guan, is it difficult to draw two episodes a week?" Li Shuai, general manager of Xiayi Media Company, asked.

"No problem, I will submit the manuscript on time every week!" Guan Jiahui said confidently.

If it is an original work, it may be very tiring to draw two episodes a week. After all, you have to think about the plot. Sometimes it takes more than half of the work, and you may have to scrap the draft and start over.

But Guan Jiahui has no such problems at all, because she has a detailed story outline and does not need to consider plot issues at all.

If she takes the time to draw seriously, she can finish two episodes in just one or two days on the weekend.

"I'll leave it all to Miss Guan. Our Chivalrous Media Company will promote your work to the highest level in the early stage." Li Shuai nodded.

Although Li Shuai didn't know what the relationship between Guan Jiahui and Su Cheng was, it was obvious that even if Su Cheng did not come up with this work, it was drawn under the guidance of Su Cheng himself.

Chiayi Media Company will naturally vigorously promote such works.

After all, those early works have already benefited Chivalrous Media Company.

It can be said that the current Chiayi Media Company is undergoing great changes every day.

Especially in terms of income, it is increasing day by day.

"By the way, boss, I want to tell you something." Seeing Su Cheng sitting on a chair in the office, waiting for Guan Jiahui to discuss the follow-up issues of the contract with Chivalry Media Company, he walked over and said.

"Oh, tell me something." Su Cheng nodded and said.

Under normal circumstances, when Li Shuai reports to Su Cheng, it must be some good news rather than a work problem.

Because everyone knows that Su Cheng rarely cares about the company's affairs. If you have anything to do, just ask Yang Chaoye.

"There is a publishing house in Japan called Tokyo Kodansha. They sent people to Xiangjiang and hoped to discuss cooperation with us in comics. I think this is a good opportunity to enter the Japanese market." Li Shuai said.

"Tokyo Kodansha? What is the size of this company?" Su Cheng naturally didn't know much about Japanese companies.His impression of Japanese companies was that he only knew Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Sony, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Toshiba and other companies. As for the publishing house, without asking Xiao Ai, he really didn't know them.

"Boss, I have investigated the background of this publishing house. The full name of Kodansha Co., Ltd. is "Kodansha Co., Ltd.". It is now the largest comprehensive publishing house and copyright holder in Japan, and it is also one of the major manga publishing houses in Japan. Together with Shueisha and Shogakukan, they are known as the Three Heroes of Comics in the Japanese publishing industry." Li Shuai replied.

"Oh? I didn't expect that he is still the leader in the industry!" Su Cheng said in surprise.

"Yes, boss. Although they are the largest comprehensive publishing house in Japan, they are not as good as Shueisha in the comics industry. This is something they really hope to change.

Shueisha publishes a variety of comic magazines for teenagers. Among them, the most famous weekly comic "Weekly Shonen Jump" is the highest-circulating comic magazine in Japan. It not only has many readers in Japan, but is also very popular overseas. It has been translated into Published in many languages ​​and in many countries around the world.

Comics are a very popular industry in Japan. Kodansha naturally does not want to be suppressed by Shueisha in this area. I heard that our "Long Road to Life" weekly was accidentally brought to Japan. It happened to be The management of their company saw it, and after reporting it, they immediately sent people to Xiangjiang, hoping to obtain our operating rights in Japan. "

Li Shuai reported to Su Cheng in detail.

"What did Mr. Yang say?" Su Cheng asked.

"Mr. Yang thinks that this is a good thing. As long as we can negotiate enough profit sharing issues, it is not a problem for us to authorize them. Over in Japan, the national pride is very strong, and their citizens like to use their own country's products. If we If we enter the Japanese market by ourselves, we may not necessarily be able to gain a high market share, but if we cooperate with Kodansha, our works can be promoted in Japan to the greatest extent. After all, this is a good time for Kodansha comics to surpass Shueisha comics. , The main thing is to discuss the benefits, it’s okay if we give him some money and he can earn it!” Li Shuai replied.

"Well, you can just discuss it. Whether you open up the market yourself or enter the Japanese market through cooperation, I think it's fine. The main thing is to achieve the maximum benefit after various trade-offs." Su Cheng laughed. said.

If you cooperate with them, you will indeed make a lot less money, but you will also save a lot of trouble.

After all, the dragon crossing the river is no match for the local snake, especially if there is government interference, so it is indeed the best way to cooperate with the leading companies over there.

In later generations, many multinational companies basically opened up markets in the form of joint ventures with local governments abroad.

"Mr. Yang and I have talked with each other several times, but we have not yet reached an agreement on the distribution of benefits," Li Shuai said.

"Don't rush to agree. If you're not satisfied with the conditions, you can secretly contact the other two of the three comics you mentioned." Su Cheng said with a smile.

It doesn't mean that if they send people here, they must cooperate with them. If the conditions are not satisfactory, everything is empty.

"At present, their sincerity is good and their attitude is good, but they have not yet reached our psychological conditions. Mr. Yang and I have already negotiated the bottom line. Let me continue talking with them first. There is no rush, because our comics are not yet available. Not many episodes have been released," Li Shuai continued.

"Well, just make sure. I will go to Beautiful Country with Mr. Yang tomorrow. The specific time of my return is not yet certain. Remember to keep in touch with Mr. Yang if you have anything to do." Su Cheng said with a smile. .

Yang Chaoye is a veteran in the business world. He has managed a large company like IBM and must have a very good international perspective.

After Guan Jiahui's matter was settled, Su Cheng took her back to the villa.

Tomorrow morning, I have to take a plane and have a long flight.

So, it’s better to rest today.
