At the beginning, I want to quit the arena

Chapter 79
Kwun Tong Industrial Center, Kwun Tong Road, Kowloon, is where most of the publishing and printing companies in Hong Kong gather. At its peak, [-]% of the units in the four [-]-story buildings were engaged in the publishing and printing industry.

The main reason is that the transportation here is very developed. You can walk to MTR Kwun Tong Station in 1 minute. There are six bus routes leading to various parts of Hong Kong and Kowloon. Moreover, the industrial center has a special basement unit, so many companies directly use the basement as their own warehouse. .

Although it does not look as rich and powerful as the skyscrapers in Central, and the businessmen inside are wealthy and wealthy, there are not a few legends in these four buildings, or the banknotes are not as good as Central, but the legends are not far behind.

Here is Huang Yulang, the owner of a listed company with a market value of 20 billion with a single paintbrush, No. 1 in Xiangjiang comics, and Huang Yulang, who was recognized as the godfather of Hong Kong comics by all cartoonists in Hong Kong at the age of 36.

There is also a comic "Chinese Heroes" created at the age of 21, which sold 20 copies. At the age of 22, he became the best-selling local comic author in Xiangjiang. Ma Rongcheng, who has an income of more than 26 million Hong Kong dollars.

Not to mention, there is also Ming Pao Publishing House, founded by Jin Yong, a master of martial arts novels, and affiliated to Ming Pao Group. It has the publishing rights of martial arts novels master Liang Yusheng, and Xinjian Publishing House, which is affiliated to Evening News Group. These two publishing houses can be called Xiangjiang The Taishan Beidou of the publishing industry.

There are also dozens of newspapers, large and small. It can be said that this is the heart of Hong Kong's popular publishing industry. Most of the novel newspapers and magazines read by Hong Kong people every day flow out from here, spreading all over Hong Kong.

Maybe some inconspicuous young man with four eyes or a middle-aged man with flip-flops walking out of the building is the existence of millions of manuscript fees or tens of millions of net worth.

Of course, in addition to these well-known figures in Hong Kong, more than a dozen companies specializing in pirated comics in Japan also chose to set up their companies here for convenience.

Tianlong Company, Howard Johnson Bookstore, Seal Company, Jade Bird Company, Art View Company, International Comic Company, Platinum Company, etc. rely on pirated Dongying comics. Although they are not as well-known as local comic companies, they are more profitable than Hong Kong companies.

After all, there is no need to pay the author's manuscript fee. Apart from printing, the most expensive monthly expense is four round-trip air tickets to Dongying. I bought back all the latest comics distributed in Tokyo at the first time, and then arranged for the company's translators to quickly complete the translation. , quickly printed, listed.

Because there are many piracy companies with different translation standards, many popular comics may have several translations of story characters. Although the latest chapters of the comics are the same, if you buy the wrong version from other companies, it may be very uncomfortable to read.

Coupled with the low cost of piracy, the local comic market was quickly eroded. Many local comic publishing houses simply let their cartoonists directly copy the plots of popular Japanese comics, such as "Dragon Ball", "City Hunter" and even "Doraemon". Very different Hong Kong fan works.

37-year-old Pan Zhanrong is sitting in the office of the general manager of Tianlong Company, behind his luxurious and spacious desk, with his legs spread out on the table, his upper body leaned back, and he is flipping through the latest "Dragon and Tiger Gate".

Although he is now helping his big brother Li to manage the publishing company that specializes in pirated Dongying comics, he never reads Dongying comics. On the contrary, he is a fan of the local comic "Dragon Tiger Gate".

When Huang Yulang deleted violent, pornographic, perverted and local gang fights due to the "Undesirable Publication Regulations", Pan Zhanrong once went to Huang Yulang's office to express his dissatisfaction. A kind of disrespect for genuine readers.

He is three years younger than his big brother, Fatty Li, and he has been with him as early as when Fatty Li became a fan. He has been a confidant for decades. Go now and become a well-known young entrepreneur.

From the very beginning when he was casually called fan Li, to when he stopped being a fan and didn’t want to start his career as a fan, he was renamed Fat Guy Li, and now he is recognized as a big water throat in the number gang. uncle.

Even Pan Zhanrong, who was nicknamed Van Zirong when he was helping the fat guy Li Bulk, is now honored as Uncle Wan by the number gang. Many rising stars of the number gang always thought his surname was Wan.

"Miss, can you be more thoughtful, please? To be honest, are you lying to me, saying that you joined an orchestra when you were in college, and I have read all the comics, but you haven't even finished playing the instrument." After finishing watching and throwing it back on the table, Pan Zhanrong said impatiently to the woman kneeling in front of him.

"Uncle Wan!" The door of the office was pushed open, and A Lie, who was in charge of the distribution company, walked in from the outside and shouted at Pan Zhanrong.

The woman under him was about to stand up and dodge. Pan Zhanrong pressed the other person's head to indicate to continue, and frowned at A Lie: "Hey, even if I'm not the general manager, I'm from your grandfather, please show me some respect? Knock on the door Spicy, no rules and no rules! Hitting the street! What's the matter?"

"Shoukouhua, who was in charge of selling goods in the Wanchai area, was beaten up." Ariel said calmly, turning a blind eye to his boss's behavior.

Pan Zhanrong said impatiently: "The mouth is so stinky, he will be beaten sooner or later, let him learn to be a man?"

"Uncle Wan, the bad mouth is because someone wants to grab business in the Wanchai area, so he fought with the other party." Ariel shrugged: "He is all for the company..."

"Everything is for the company, isn't it for myself? I joined the number gang back then, and I wanted to swear allegiance to Chang Kai... Hiss... Hiss~ah~" Pan Zhanrong closed his eyes after cursing halfway through his mouth. He leaned back and took a breath of air-conditioning.

It wasn't until after a few cold wars that Pan Zhanrong lifted his pants comfortably, and at the same time said, "Which company are you fighting for business with? Howard Johnson is a seal? If it's a seal, I'll have a chat with the other party later, Howard Johnson Just take a breath, your old mother, I don’t know that the newly appointed senior inspector of the Wanchai Anti-Mafia Team is the son of Howard Johnson Yang’s boss! The underworld is exposed! The same policeman’s old bean competes for business. He thinks his sleep quality is not good, so he wants to find a piece of money. Sleep forever! Sell more copies and sell fewer copies..."

"None, it's a new company..." Ariel took out a business card from his pocket, read the words on it: "It's called Dakong Culture Co., Ltd., business manager, Xu Sheng."

Pan Zhanrong heard the two names of Dakong and Xu Sheng, and repeated them several times, but he had no impression: "Could it be that a manager in several companies went out to start a new company by himself? Xu Sheng, haven't you heard of it? Have you checked it?"

"I have asked more than a dozen companies here, and they all said that no employee called Xu Sheng left to start a company. I heard from Shoukouhua that the guy is at most in his early twenties, Kai Pingzhi, with strong fists and feet, and has brothers by his side. He must be from the Jianghu .”

Pan Zhanrong threw two banknotes from his wallet to the woman next to him, motioned her to leave first, and then slowly walked to the window: "Jianghu people, then is this Jianghu person full of poop in his head, is he brave enough?" Grabbing Tianlong's business? Pingzhi, bring brothers? Is there an address on the business card?"

"Yes." Allie said.

Pan Zhanrong turned around, and his tone was already full of viciousness: "Then take someone over there and beat him up, kill his brother, and I will teach this Dakong company, what is it called a cultural rivers and lakes."

……

When Pan Zhanrong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out, Sheng Jiale was walking in from the main entrance of the building, accompanied by Yang Qingyi.

"Mr. Sheng, why did you think of joining the comics industry like our Howard Johnson?" After pressing the elevator button, Yang Qingyi asked with a smile to Sheng Jiale who was always beside him with a cold face.

Sheng Jiale glanced at her: "I would like to remind Ms. Yang that Howard Johnson Bookstore is not involved in the comics industry, but a pirated industry. You only destroy this industry and do not make any positive contributions. I just visited out of politeness. Thinking that there is any possibility of cooperation with you, Ms. Yang, or Howard Johnson Bookstore, we are like soldiers and thieves."

"I understand Mr. Sheng's dissatisfaction with Howard Johnson and other so-called piracy companies, but Xiangjiang has no copyright regulations to comply with. If you are in the UK, in the mainland, or in Dongying, you can of course say this, but in Xiangjiang, doing this The business is not illegal, which is why I proposed to cooperate with Mr. Sheng's Dakong Company." Yang Qingyi always smiled, and did not show dissatisfaction at all because of Sheng Jiale's black mouth and black face.

Hearing Yang Qingyi's words, Sheng Jiale shifted his gaze from the elevator numbers to Yang Qingyi's face, and stared at Yang Qingyi's face presumptuously: "If Xiangjiang doesn't break the law, I will use force on you now, and at the same time take photos Photos, sell photos afterwards to earn a fortune, and then force you after earning money, and throw you 20 yuan when taking new photos, isn't it considered a male-female cooperation?"

Yang Qingyi didn't expect that Sheng Jiale, who looked gentle and handsome, would speak so rudely when she opened her mouth. The smile on her face could no longer be maintained, so she could only avoid Sheng Jiale's gaze, and when the elevator door opened, she walked out first. He said embarrassingly: "Fortunately, Xiangjiang has laws to follow, and it would be quite scary if there were no laws to follow."

"I also think that Xiangjiang with no one to rely on will be terrible." Sheng Jiale said softly as he stepped out of the elevator with steady steps.

Yang Qingyi adjusted her mentality, took a few deep breaths, continued to smile, and said to Sheng Jiale while walking:
"I'm here to be a tour guide for Mr. Sheng, and I will accompany you to visit Howard Johnson Bookstore. I hope that after reading it, Mr. Sheng, you can change your impression of the so-called pirate company in Xiangjiang."

"Alex, help me deliver two cups of coffee to my office." After introducing Sheng Jiale, Yang Qingyi smiled and instructed the female administrative clerk who was holding a pile of documents next to her.

"Okay, manager, I..." Alex put the file on the desktop, looked up, and just found Sheng Jiale standing beside Yang Qingyi, looking at him with a smile.

Sheng Jiale withdrew his gaze, and finally smiled more on his face, and asked Yang Qingyi: "Are all the female clerks here so beautiful?"

"Seeing beautiful clerks shuttle around the company will make our male editors feel a little happier when they are busy." Yang Qingyi said to Sheng Jiale: "This way please, this is our translator's work area."

"Okay." Sheng Jiale stepped forward and followed Yang Qingyi into the company slowly.

Alex didn't run to his seat until he couldn't see Sheng Jiale, picked up the phone and dialed the number, and said in a low voice excitedly:

"Sister Chili, Laodou specially came to Howard Johnson to visit me today, maybe I will visit you at Tianlong Company later..."
