Chapter 179： General dug by Shueisha

On the second day, Jiuding Securities’ holding of Cheung Kong Holdings’ shares was announced, which naturally caused a heated discussion in the Xiangjiang media. Xia Yu also asked people to make an explanation in the The group is optimistic and sell Li Chaoren.

As Xia Yu expected, the share price of the Yangtze River Industrial Group rose!

Carrying the gift of rising stock price, in the afternoon, when Xia Yu attended the board of directors meeting of the Yangtze River Industrial Group, Li Chaoren and all shareholders at the meeting expressed a warm welcome to Xia Yu's arrival. What was said at the meeting was not shown.

Instead, Xia Yu looked forward to tomorrow's interview.

Because yesterday afternoon, Korn Ferry International notified Xia Yu again and had already selected him for the general manager of an animation company. This time there was only one person. Robert Joyce continued to explain to Xia Yu. I hope Xia Yu understands. Will strive to find other candidates.

Xia Yu also understands him. After all, talents in the comics industry are really hard to find.

However, when Robert Joyce provided the resume, Xia Yu felt a little expectant after reading it. This person did meet his requirements.

Ma Tengdong, male, 35 years old, loves comics very much. He has been in the comics industry for 15 years. Now he is the head of a department in the island country Shueisha. According to the situation surveyed by Korn Ferry International, he is known to have climbed the highest in the island country’s comics industry. Of a Chinese.

Korn Ferry’s survey report and Ma Tengdong’s resume show that he has worked in comics creation, distribution, operations, peripheral sales and other departments, and has achieved good results. He is fully capable of assuming the position of the head of a comics company.

If the situation is true, then Ma Tengdong is very suitable to serve as the general manager of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.!

It’s just that Xia Yu is a little curious. Why did Ma Tengdong want to resign? Is it true that, as stated in the situation analysis report provided by Korn Ferry, he was excluded from Shueisha and hopeless for promotion?

Or is it another reason?

Ma Tengdong didn't write it in his resume, so he could only ask about it during the interview.

However, Xia Yu has already made an appointment with Ma Tengdong. For the interview tomorrow morning, Xia Yu will still be at the memory cafe, the one where Gavin Peter was interviewed.

...

Early the next morning, Xia Yu came to the cafe again, and after booking a box, he waited for Ma Tengdong's arrival.

Ma Tengdong did not let Xia Yu wait much, and came on time.

After the greeting, the interview began.

Xia Yu first asked him to introduce himself, show his strengths, and prove that he does possess the abilities described in his resume.

Ma Tengdong was very confident. After nodding to Xia Yu, he smiled and introduced himself.

"My name is Ma Tengdong..."

Listening to Ma Tengdong's self-introduction, Xia Yu nodded from time to time, and occasionally asked questions to test him.

Whether a person is capable or not depends on his understanding of that aspect.

In front of Xia Yu, Ma Tengdong elaborated on his views on the comics industry and his understanding of the various functional departments of the comics company.

After some understanding, Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile. Ma Tengdong is really talented and has comprehensive abilities. He is indeed capable of serving as the general manager of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.

After learning about Ma Tengdong's ability, Xia Yu's doubts in his heart became even greater. He didn't believe that the senior executives of Shuyingshe were fools and could not see Ma Tengdong's ability, so how could Ma Tengdong have the idea of ​​quitting?

"Mr. Ma, the last question, it is convenient to say why you are not willing to work in Shueisha, but come to our new company?"

Xia Yu asked, after finishing speaking, he looked at Ma Tengdong closely and observed his expression.

A trace of resentment flashed in Ma Tengdong’s eyes. He said unwillingly, “Because I offended a senior executive of Shuyingshe. His father had participated in the invasion of China, and he was also an officer. He was very hostile to the Chinese. Once I and him There was a conflict and offended him, because my ability was valued by several other senior executives. Otherwise, I would have been expelled long ago, but even if I was not expelled, I was transferred from the core creative department."

"I had planned to leave before, but there was no suitable opportunity. For the sake of my family, I had to stay there until someone from Korn Ferry found me. After I got to know your company, I came! "

Xia Yu's complexion remained unchanged, but he suddenly felt that this was the reason.

However, thinking of the right-wing executives of Shueisha in Ma Tengdong's mouth, a cold light flashed in Xia Yu's eyes. In this way, he copied the comics of Shueisha, and there was no psychological burden.

"Our company's initial positioning was to hit the island country’s comics market. Now you don’t know our company’s situation, but I look forward to one day when you lead the company to revitalize the Xiangjiang comics industry and then rush into the island country’s comics market. If you want, wait. I will show you something later, I believe you will not be disappointed!"

Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong sincerely and said, stood up and stretched out his hand to him.

Xia Yu's meaning is obvious. He was hired. Now it's up to Ma Tengdong's meaning.

Hearing Xia Yu’s words, Ma Tengdong recalled what he had learned about Xia Yu’s strength in his mind. He nodded heavily, and said in his heart that he had gambled. Anyway, he was uncomfortable in Jiyingshe, so he might as well take a gamble. After all, Xia Yu did have This capital enters the comics industry.

Then he and Xia Yu held hands together and reverently changed their words and said, "Thank you, boss."

"Go, follow me to the company!"

After speaking, Xia Yu took Ma Tengdong to the resident of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.

After signing the employment contract, Xia Yu took Ma Tengdong to the office, and took out the planning book of the comic magazine "Zhiyin Manke", as well as the set outline and character drafts of four comics such as "Dragon Ball". before.

Xia Yu wanted Ma Tengdong to have a bottom line about the company and let him know that although the company is a new company, it is definitely promising. This is to let him return to the company as soon as possible and at the same time make him more confident in the company. More enthusiasm for work.

As for worrying about Ma Tengdong's leak?

Xia Yu was not worried at all, not to mention that Ma Tengdong had already signed the employment contract and was already considered his own.

More importantly, Xia Yu has sent someone to register the intellectual property rights of the four comics and the "Military Manke" magazine. It is too late for Ma Tengdong to steal ideas. Xia Yu is not afraid of others stealing it.

When Ma Tengdong turned it over, his eyes lit up after seeing the detailed planning book of "Milk Manke".

He is a knowledgeable person, and he naturally knows the gold content of this magazine planning book. Many places have made his eyes bright, and after reading it, he already has a general judgment on a magazine planning book.

This is a very mature plan, not worse than Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump".

Then, he looked at the stack of manuscript paper below, and he could tell at a glance that this was a comic character.

The mature and sharp style made him nod secretly.

Then, he looked at the main line of the plot and quickly scanned it. The more he looked at it, the surprise in his eyes became thicker, until it turned into shock directly behind.

This is the complete beginning of the four comics. Not only the plot outline, but also the characters have been set. As long as the outline is expanded, the full plot can be directly serialized.

Moreover, although these four comic outlines are not finished comics, he can see something with his abilities. These four comics are not inferior to Shueisha's comics. As long as they are drawn, they will definitely be popular. As for the extent to which they can be popular, It must be based on market feedback.

At this moment, Ma Tengdong's confidence in the empty-shell Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. surged.

No, it's not a shell company, because it already has the core things.

The core of the comic company has always been only one, and that is the work!

"Boss, whose masterpieces are these?"

Ma Tengdong looked at Xia Yu with excitement on his face and asked.

Xia Yu said with a smile: "I wrote it, how does it feel?"

Hearing what Xia Yu said, Ma Tengdong was taken aback at first, but when he saw that Xia Yu was not like a joke, his eyes were full of shock. He knew that Xia Yu could write novels, and "Xun Qin Ji" was written by Xia Yu, but he did not expect the boss to actually He can also draw comics and write comic magazine planning, and his understanding of comics is not worse than him. How can this not shock him.

After the shock, he was full of joy. He found that with such a powerful boss, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. seemed to have a bright future.

"Do it hard, and let Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. enter the island country's comics industry at that time. If one day, Shueisha is under the pressure, I think it will be very interesting!"

Xia Yu patted Ma Tengdong on the shoulder and said with a bewildered tone.

Ma Tengdong was indeed bewildered by Xia Yu's words. There was a glimmer of longing in his eyes. He looked at Xia Yu and nodded heavily. His face was full of determination and said: "Boss, rest assured, I will not let you down!"

"I have already published the recruitment information in the "Jiuding Daily", and you will be solely responsible for the recruitment at that time. The requirements are not too high, as long as you have a certain degree of painting skills."

"By the way, the company has no staff now. If you want to make a comic magazine and draw four more comics, you must have enough staff. You can mobilize your contacts and dig out people from the island country comic industry."

"It is best to be Chinese. If you are an island nation, you should also be an island nation who has no prejudice against China and the Chinese."

"Also, do you know if you know any manga trainers, they also helped to dig them. By that time, professional training will be given to everyone in the company. The rise of the Xiangjiang comics industry must have a large number of relevant talents. Now we train one more person, right? The more we benefit, I hope you will pay attention to it!"

Xia Yu told Ma Tengdong.

"Don't worry, boss, I remember, I will not let you down!"

Ma Tengdong nodded his head and promised.

From the boss’s words, he knew the boss’ ambitions, and unknowingly, he felt a lot of burden on his shoulders. He was not only the general manager of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., but also related to the rise of Xiangjiang comics industry.

At this moment, he was a little bit enthusiastic. He looked forward to the day when Xiangjiang Comics could compete with the island comics and even invade the island comics.

Although he knew it was difficult, he saw hope here!
