Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 356 Disintegration

As Tezuka Osamu spoke up, the originally heated public opinion suddenly became much quieter.

Although some media still speak out and say things like "Osamushi Tezuka is getting old and starts saying things that go against his will for money," there are not many people who really listen.

For most ordinary readers, it doesn’t matter who drew the comics, what matters is that the comics look good!

If "Century" magazine is really banned, then where should they go to watch "Dragon Ball" and "Naruto"?

Several major presidents and editors gathered together again. Compared to last time, the atmosphere this time was undoubtedly more solemn.

"What should we do now? At present, our methods are completely ineffective on others!"

Shigeo Nishimura was the only editor present and had the lowest status. Naturally, he asked about the others first.

"They have already moved Osamu Tezuka out, what else can we do?"

Tetsuzo Aiga smiled and took a sip of tea, then put it on the table, looking as if he didn't notice anything.

"Is that so?"

Akita Sadao was the most impatient among them. Seeing that the game he had set up was about to be disbanded, he was very unwilling to do so.

"Otherwise? What else can you do? Speaking of which, why didn't that boy Noma come this time?"

Aiga Tetsuzo looked around and said with some doubts.

Only three of the four major magazine leaders came this time. Kodansha's vice president Noma Nomaichi was completely missing.

"Yes, where is that boy?"

Akita Sadao had noticed it a long time ago, but thought it was because he was late, so he didn't ask. At this time, he found that other people were also asking, so he followed suit.

"I asked for leave. I said I wanted to play golf and I didn't plan to come over!"

Shigeo Nishimura explained at this time.

When receiving a call from Noma Noma, Shigeo Nishimura was also confused, but he didn't say much. After all, the other party was the president of another company, so how could he listen to him?

"What? What is that kid doing? He won't come to such an important party even if he says he can't come?"

Akita Sadao couldn't help but cursed angrily.

"I'm afraid it's important to you, right? To him... not necessarily!"

Aiga Tetsuzo also seemed to dislike Akita Sadao, so he stabbed him with words.

"you……"

"Okay, both presidents, please stop saying a few words. What should we do with this situation?"

Shigeo Nishimura saw that there was a quarrel inside him, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

I'm afraid this joint operation has come to an end. I'm afraid that unscrupulous Noma boy noticed this and didn't come, right?

I don’t know, what is that guy doing now? Really playing golf?

"boom!"

Noma Noma swung the club, and a golf ball flew high into the air, crossed the large grass field, and landed on the green.

"President Noma is so awesome. I have been learning golf for a long time but I still can't play golf well!"

Behind Noma, Li Wannian and Tezuka Makoto stood. Before Li Wannian could speak, Tezuka Makoto praised them.

"Okay, I'll teach you later. It's difficult to practice to a professional level, but it's easy to get started!"

Vido Noma propped his club on the ground. Although he was wearing sunglasses, he could not hide the smile on his face.

"Okay, I will definitely bother you more later!"

Tezuka Shin didn't refuse and said with a cheeky smile.

"Mr. Li, don't you want to take a shot?"

Noma Vaido handed the club to Li Wannian again, but Li Wannian did not take it. “I’ll forget it, I’ve never been able to get started with football skills!”

Li Wannian waved his hand and did not catch the ball.

"If you don't want to play, why did you invite me over to play golf?"

Seeing that Li Wannian didn't pick it up, Noma Noma put the clubs into the golf cart.

"I just wanted to see you, so I asked Tezuka to make arrangements. I didn't expect that he would choose this place!"

"Hey, my hands are itchy, so I kill two birds with one stone!"

Tezuka explained with a smile.

"Okay, then why are you asking me out?"

"Are you interested in Century?"

"what?"

Regarding Li Wannian's straight-to-the-point words, Noma Weidao was stunned for a moment.

He thought that Li Wannian might be here to win over him, but he didn't expect that he would be so direct. He almost thought that he heard wrongly.

"I'm asking, are you interested in Century magazine?"

Li Wannian repeated it again.

"Who wouldn't be interested? But what's the use of being interested?"

"The magazine has a funding gap recently. Maybe you can help?"

Li Wannian's words really surprised Noma Noma. The other party actually asked him to invest in "Century"?

As the vice president of Kodansha, I now know very well how popular "Century" is now?

Why are these magazines so eager to get hold of "Century"? Isn't it because they can't get it and are ready to destroy it?

Now that I have the opportunity to get this magazine, why should I bother?

At this moment, Noma Wedao immediately understood that Li Wannian's purpose for finding him today was to divide and disintegrate their alliance!

"I already have my own magazine, why would I want to invest in my competitor's magazine?"

Noma Wedao did not agree immediately, but asked instead.

"Maybe you're not interested in magazines, but what about 2D Magazine or DreamWorks?"

Li Wannian's words made Noma Wedao's heart become hot again.

The temptation is really too great!

The full name of Kodansha is "Kodansha Co., Ltd.", formerly known as Daineon Eloquence Club Kodansha. It was founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1909 by Noma Kiyoshi.

As one of Neon's major comic publishers, its "Weekly Shonen MAGAZINE" is not only one of Neon's three major juvenile comics magazines, it is also Neon's largest comprehensive publisher and copyright holder, dominating Neon's Most literary awards.

Its influence on Neon far exceeds the comics themselves!

However, after decades of development, they have naturally reached their limit. If they want to go further, they have to step out of neon and go to the world.

But it is very difficult for a magazine to go global. Even if the magazine has many classic comics, it is still very difficult to go global.

But now they have this opportunity. DreamWorks has started its global layout with the help of Disney, and with Li Wannian's works as the front-line charge, their globalization is even smoother than that of Kodansha, which was established decades earlier. !

"What are you going to do?"

Noma Weidao finally asked again.

"Funding is on one side, and on the other side, maybe we can consider exchanging shares?"

"You mean equity swap?"

Noma Weidao was stunned for a moment and began to think carefully about the feasibility.

I have to say that Li Wannian’s proposal was very tempting, and Noma Wedao was really moved!
