In this era, Japanese information communication was not as developed as it would be in the future, but the news that Shueisha and Sony had parted ways was spread as soon as possible that night.
Immediately, this news exploded in the entire business world. The suddenness of this incident caught everyone off guard. Some people who had already secretly wanted to win over Shueisha immediately called and made big promises. However, Shinichi Hirono...
All refused.
After answering several phone calls, Hirono fell asleep very tired. For him, this was an end. When the sun rises tomorrow, it will be a new beginning.
That night, the entire Japanese publishing industry called each other and asked each other who was so powerful that he had snatched Shueisha away from Sony. And not much news had been revealed, but everyone was discussing it privately.
Early the next morning, as soon as Shi Zhijian woke up, he received a call from Daisuke Inoue, who said in surprise: "What did you say? Shueisha has agreed to cooperate with our Shinhwa Technology? Although one million US dollars is a bit expensive, it is worth it. I
I believe that this publishing house will come back to life soon and become the leader in the industry! By the way, the most important thing is that the comic copyright of this comic book company must be secured in the future!"
Daisuke Inoue didn't understand why Shi Zhijian was so optimistic about Shueisha's future development, and why he valued its copyrights so much.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shi! I will definitely get things done according to your instructions! By the way, Shinichi Hirono wants to visit our Shinhwa Company in three days. This..."
"I will arrange this! Don't you just want to see the strength of our company with your own eyes? I will let him get his wish!"
Shi Zhijian settled down after a while and hung up the phone with an ecstatic expression on his face. This thing was really beyond his expectation. He didn't expect it to be so easy. He expected that at least it would take some more grinding.
You know, Shi Zhijian has always wanted to rely on Japan's soft culture to build an entertainment empire integrating music and animation.
Things like karaoke and Walkman are the hardware of this empire, while music and animation are software.
In terms of music, Shi Zhijian currently has two major stars, Matsushima and Miyuki Nakajima. In the future, Shi Zhijian will even catch stars such as Tamaki Koji, Kimura Takuya, and Hamasaki Ayumi.
In terms of animation, "One Piece", "Yu Yu White Paper", "Demon Slayer", "One Punch Man", etc., these famous and most profitable comic works are included in the bag.
So this time Shueisha is willing to switch from Sony to Shinhwa, which is undoubtedly a huge victory.
After hanging up the phone call to Daisuke Inoue, Shi Zhijian got up from the bed. After washing, he called Mitsuko again and told her that she must be prepared to receive Shinichi Hirono's job and let Shueisha see the sincerity of Shinhwa Company.
Today's Shinhwa Technology has a weak foundation and still needs the support of large companies like Golden Dragon. If you want to make the reception work beautiful, you can only rely on photons.
…
Three days later.
Shi Zhijian asked Inoue Daisuke to personally form a large motorcade. Twelve special cars rushed to Shueisha like a procession to welcome the president, Shinichi Hirono, and others.
Such a huge formation shocked everyone in Shueisha.
Many Shueisha executives who were a little skeptical about Shinhwa's strength at the beginning and wondered whether they could spend one million US dollars were dumbfounded.
Even Shinichi Hirono was frightened by Shi Zhijian's "sincerity" and thought that even if he received a foreign head of state, it wouldn't be such an exaggeration! For a moment, he was filled with emotion.
Getting on the bus, under the majesty of the motorcade, everyone in Shueisha quickly arrived at Kyoto Shinhwa Technology Company. As soon as they got off the bus, Shinichi Hirono and others saw a large group of people holding banners that read: Warmly welcome President Shueisha.
Mr. Shinichi Hirono came to give guidance.
"Come on, everyone applaud!!!" Shi Zhijian ordered, bang bang bang! Everyone at the scene immediately applauded.
As Shi Zhijian's female translator, Dai Fengni couldn't figure out why Shi Zhijian did this and worked so hard to win over the president of a comic publishing house?!
How did she know how huge Japan's animation market would be in the future? It can even be said that more than half of the entire Japan's cultural industry is supported by animation. Shueisha's publishing house alone created sales of up to 100 billion yen in 2011.
!
Therefore, for Shi Zhijian, what he greets today is not the people of Shueisha, but the golden rooster that can help him lay golden eggs in the future!
"Come on, start laying flowers!"
A few little girls came over, all dressed up very beautifully. One of them came forward holding a bouquet of flowers. Hirono Shinichi and other cultural people usually come into contact with their peers. They are all stoic. They have never been treated like this. At this moment, everyone
Holding a handful, confusion written on his face.
"Hello, I am Shi Zhijian, the president of Shinhwa Technology!" Shi Zhijian asked Dai Fengni to translate and get to know Hirono Shinichi.
Hirono and others had only heard of Shi Zhijian's name, but had never met Shi Zhijian in person. They did not expect that Shi Zhijian would be so young.
If you meet such a person on the street and don't introduce him, Hirono will really think that he is some kind of college student.
"Mr. Shi is really young and promising!"
"Mr. Hirono, you're welcome! Come, come and have a look at our company!" Shi Zhijian made an invitation gesture to everyone.
Accompanied by Shi Zhijian and others, everyone from Shueisha began to officially visit Shinhwa Technology.
“This is our Shinhwa Technology Company’s flagship product karaoke!”
"This is our spokesperson for Shinhwa Technology, Ms. Miyuki Nakajima! And this is the new singing king Matsushima-kun, whose song "The Wind Keeps Blowing" is currently dominating the charts!"
"Yes, we are part of the same company as Shinhwa Entertainment. In addition to signing singers and artists in Japan, we also own Golden Harvest Movies in Hong Kong!"
"There is no doubt that Golden Dragon Company and our Shinhwa are actually brother companies! We are all one family!"
"The last thing I want to explain is that our Shinhwa Technology will vigorously support the development of Shueisha's animation industry. In the case of financing, we only seek to obtain the maximum dividend distribution and will never interfere with the daily management of the company!"
Shi Zhijian's words spoke to the hearts of Hirono Shinichi and others.
Shinhwa invested too much money this time, and they were afraid that Shi Zhijian would seize power and dominate Shueisha. Now Shi Zhijian has made it clear that he only wants to make money and will not interfere in management. Everyone, including President Hirono, finally felt relieved.
In fact, for Shi Zhijian, his purpose is simply to make money from Shueisha. As for management, he will never make the mistake of "a layman leading an expert".
Regarding comics, Shi Zhijian thinks that he is not as proficient as Dai Fengni.
After dispelling the doubts of everyone at Shueisha, Shi Zhijian immediately took out the last resort and took out a check of one million US dollars and handed it to everyone in Hirono and said: "You can lie about anything in this world, but banknotes are the most real!"
Looking at the check and then at Shi Zhijian, Hirono finally extended his hand and said on behalf of Shueisha: "Happy cooperation!"
