Chapter 236

Tanita Shangyi, President of Jiying society, was sitting in his office at this time, looking at the financial statements of the second quarter of 1992 in front of him.

Although the data of this year's Jiying agency are generally optimistic, its magazines, especially the weekly youth jump, have reached an unprecedented sales volume of 5.8 million copies in the first issue, and it is estimated that it will even exceed 6 million copies next year, which has never been reached by Fusang.

However, Tanita Shangyi's expression is not easy, because Jiying society's losses in other industries, especially the huge losses in the investment in Yuangu company, led to the ugly financial statements in the first two quarters. Tanita Shangyi feels that he doesn't know how to explain to the shareholders.

For a publishing group with an annual revenue of 40 billion yen, the actual profit in the first two quarters was only 120 million yen. Who believes it?

There were 200 million last year.

In fact, he also knows the reason, because there is basically no copyright to sell today. If you can't sell the copyright, you will naturally have insufficient income.

When Tanita Shangyi was worried about this, his secretary suddenly knocked on the door and reported to him, "president, a Chinese wants to see you. He said he has a net profit of 20 million yen and wants to talk to you!"

"No..." Tanita refused without thinking, but just spit out two words, but he swallowed them back.

Wait, a net profit of 20 million yen, is this true or false?

"What he said is really pure profit?" Tanita confirmed it to his secretary.

"Yes, that's right!" the Secretary nodded.

"Then please come to the reception hall!" Tanita nodded, cleaned up his appearance a little, and saw Jia Yapeng in the reception hall.

"Mr. Jia said there was a net profit of 20 million yen. I don't know what business cooperation it was?" Tanita asked with a smile.

"It's very simple. I have a cartoon that I hope will be serialized on the weekly youth jump magazine subordinate to Jiying society. If President Tanita agrees, I can directly pay 20 million yen in cash, which is really a net profit!" Jia Yapeng smiled.

"20 million yen, what a big deal." I have to admit that Tanita Shangyi is a little excited, but he also knows the rules and beliefs that Tanita Shangyi's weekly youth jump has always adhered to. It seems that breaking these rules for 20 million yen will make editors dissatisfied! "

Thinking of this, Tanita Shangyi hesitated.

"I need to discuss this matter with the editors!" Tanita said hesitantly.

"30 million yen!" Jia Yapeng said without raising his head. "30 million yen, serialize it for me. I don't want any reason to refuse me!"

"Suck!" Tanita Shangyi looked at the young man in shock. In order to serialize a magazine, he threw 30 million yen. Which childe brother is this? He is so arrogant that he doesn't treat money as money.

No, it seems to be a Chinese. Have Chinese people got so rich?

"President Gutian, what's your opinion?" Jia Yapeng asked with a smile.

"30 million yen!" Tanita sank into anxiety in his heart. 30 million yen seems not worth mentioning compared with the annual sales of 50 billion yen of Jiying society.

However, compared with the net profit of only 120 million yen in the first half of this year, it is very important. In this way, the profit in the first half of this year can reach 150 million yen. At least it looks much better in face and can at least explain to shareholders.

But in this case, I'm afraid I'll be scolded as an old dog by the editors below!

Tanita Shangyi was very hesitant, swaying from side to side, very uncomfortable.

"Well, buy it now, 40 million yen. If President Tanita doesn't agree, I'll go now and don't bother you anymore!" Jia Yapeng said with narrowed eyes.

Tanita Shangyi was completely shaken. The 40 million yen was too tempting for him.

Tanita Shangyi is not a serious editor. He is a businessman, so the businessman will only consider profits. In the eyes of Tanita Shangyi, 40 million is worth breaking some rules.

Anyway, what the other party requires is to serialize in the magazine. This is not an excessive requirement. New serial comics will appear in the magazine every month, and some serial comics will be cut off.

No matter which cartoon is serialized, more than 10 of the 18 cartoons on the magazine are ultimately cut off, and these cartoons basically can not bring any income to Jiying society. The sales volume of the published booklet is difficult to break ten thousand. Animation requires a lot of capital investment, and no one cares about it around.

Serializing such cartoons will not bring any profit, but will lose a lot of money.

In fact, the net profit of weekly youth jump is basically the income brought by head comics such as Longzhu and oolong police station. They are the real profit core. As for other comics, they are only used to raise Gu insects.

Among these poisonous insects, only a small one can grow up and eventually become a money printing machine of the Jiying society. As for other comics, they can only be thrown into the waste paper pile of history, which accounts for more than 80% of the comics serialized in the weekly youth jump.

Therefore, for Jiying society and Tanita Shangyi, serializing a "game king" is really a good business with a lot of profits. It doesn't need to pay any price. It's just to cut off one comic book and replace it with another comic book that may be on the street.

As for the quality of this cartoon, Tanita Shangyi is even more indifferent. There have been extremely poor quality comics in the weekly youth jump, but as long as they are cut in time, the readers can still accept it.

More importantly, Tanita Shangyi actually just turned over the comic book "game king". Although the painting style is still a little immature, the story is undoubtedly interesting. In fact, such comic books are no different from those cut by the waist. Readers may not like them and will never be bored again.

Serializing "game king" will not cause any loss, but it can make a profit of 40 million in vain. You know, when Jiying society sold the game copyright of Longzhu, it only sold 30 million yen. But how many comic books like dragon ball are there in the world?

This "game king" is equivalent to creating a profit of 40 million before it is put on the shelves. How many comic serials can achieve?

Tanita Shangyi finally made a wise decision.

"No problem, it's up to me, but one thing, if the serialization results are very bad and even lead to continuous bad reviews, the serialization will be forcibly cut back for up to one year!" Tanita Shangyi said.

"This is a wise decision!" Jia Yapeng smiled and sat down.

"I'm afraid you're willing to spend so much money to monopolize the copyright of this cartoon!" Tanita Shangyi is not stupid. No one will spend so much money to buy a serial qualification, so Jia Yapeng must have a plan.

"Yes, Jiying society only has the distribution authorization of comics, and the other copyrights are all in my hands, which has nothing to do with Jiying society!" Jia Yapeng nodded.

"Other copyrights can be given to you, but the distribution right of comic booklets in the future must be in the hands of Jiying society. Once the comic is serialized in Jiying society, it is absolutely not allowed to appear in the magazines of any other publishing house!" Tanita Shangyi added. This is the most important point. The exclusivity of Jiying society can't be changed, which can't be exchanged for any money?.

"Yes!" Jia Yapeng nodded. "But it is only limited to the internal copyright of Fusang. Except for Fusang area, all copyright has nothing to do with Jiying society!"

"However, I have a request that the next unprinted issue of weekly youth jump must start serialization, and have all the rights equivalent to normal serialization of comics. The editorial department shall not have any bias towards my comics!"

"No problem!" Tanita nodded readily, then took out two glasses of red wine from the bar in the living room, clinked a glass with Jia Yapeng, and then smiled, "happy cooperation, Mr. Jia Yapeng!!"
