Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 392 Christmas Eve

The end of the year is usually the busiest time for companies, especially for large conglomerates like Shengguang Society, which have a very wide range of business coverage and many divisions.

Since mid-December, Fuyukawa Che has been busy with meetings almost every day. This is partly because the company's business covers a wide range, and partly because he rarely cares about light novels, music, and animation.

These sections are completely under the charge of Ms. Maori and other cadres, and then led by Sato Fujiko. He will only take the initiative to check the status of these sections in June and December every year.

To be honest, because he dotes on his woman very much, Sato Fujiko, who used to give people a strong and sharp impression, is now becoming more and more willful and lively, and she seems to be getting younger and younger, but her work ability is still beyond doubt.

Under her leadership, several sectors including light novels, music and animation are now becoming stronger and stronger.

In terms of light novels, thanks to the GOGO platform and the crazy investment of Fuyukawa Tetsu, now [No Holy Light Light Novel Website] is one of the top five novel platforms in Japan. There are many great authors, many of whom have also participated in the writing of some side plots of "World of Warcraft".

Needless to say, as for music, although Fuyukawa Che generally does not write songs, if Ms. Maori discovers a very talented young artist and brings him to see, he will write a few songs to praise the artist based on the characteristics of the artist's voice.

Not to mention the mainstay of music, Himawari Izumi.

If we say that half a year ago, Himawari Izumi could only be regarded as a leader among the new generation of singers because she had been famous for too short a time, her popularity was not yet enough to make her known to everyone around the world.

After half a year of experience, Himawari Izumi is now one of the top singers in the global music scene.

It's just that this girl is very homesick. She was supposed to help her with the global tour in October, but because Dongchuan Che was too busy during that time, this girl refused with the reason that "If the stinky uncle and the sisters can't come to Xiaokui's concert, then Xiaokui's singing at this concert will be meaningless."
She is very self-willed, but she is not just lying at home playing during this period. She usually either practices singing and piano at home, or goes to the company to act like a spoiled child to Dongchuan Che and ask him to help her with the songs she wrote, or goes shopping with her best friend, Married After Youmei.

Seeing that this girl had a regular and fulfilling life, Dongchuan Che naturally did not force her to go to any concerts, but just let her go. However, this girl was not only very homesick, but also very clingy and a bit of a masochist.

Sometimes when Dongchuan Che was in the president's office holding a remote meeting on his laptop, this girl would sneak under the boss's desk.

Dongchuan Che likes it very much.

As for the animation section.

To be honest, Dongchuan Che was quite worried about this sector at the beginning.

There is no other reason. In the light novel sector, Dongchuan Che can spend a lot of money to poach well-known authors.

But on the one hand he is rich, and on the other hand it is also because novels are serialized, usually for one or two years. There are still few novels like "A Certain Magical Index" that have been serialized for nearly twenty years and have a total of more than 10 million words in the main story and extra stories.

But anime is different. Animation is easy, just recruit people, but cartoonists who are responsible for content production are more troublesome.

Generally speaking, a good manga artist will start serializing for four or five years, not to mention the top manga artist like Yoshihiro Togashi who serialized Hunter x Hunter for 26 years and took more than 500 breaks during that time. If you want to train a manga artist yourself, it may be a relatively long process.

In Dongchuan Che's original plan, it might take several more years for the animation section of Shengguangshe to rise. For now, they can only buy some IPs from other websites for animation, and help the company's internal "FGO" and "Pokemon" to make animations, but they are still unable to produce content independently and can only do adaptations.

But he thought wrong.

Today, the animation section of Holy Light Society is developing extremely rapidly!
There is no other reason, just one word - money.

The royalties of Japanese cartoonists, excluding IP adaptations, are generally divided into basic royalties and bonuses.

The basic manuscript fee is calculated based on the number of pages.

A new cartoonist can earn around 7000 to 9000 yen for a page of black-and-white manuscript. According to statistics from last year, the monthly salary of an artist under in the Japanese animation industry is around yen.

It is equivalent to about 7,000 to 8,000 RMB. If it is a second or third tier city in China, this income is actually very high, but the daily expenses in Japan are indeed much higher than in China.

Generally speaking, if young people from other places in Japan want to live like a decent person in a big city like Tokyo, their monthly salary must be at least 200,000 yen, but young painters only have a monthly salary of 150,000 yen, and it is extremely unstable.

As for the bonus, of course, if the comic becomes popular and reaches a certain number of views, the cartoonist will get a share of the profits.

This business model has been running in Japan for decades and is already quite mature. Dongchuan Che has little room for maneuver. However, he now has the money.

The comics industry, if we don't talk about animation and game adaptations, and only talk about comics websites and comics companies themselves, is actually not very large in scale.

Last year, the total sales of the entire Japanese comics industry, including electronic comics and paper comics, was only 600 billion yen.

When converted, it is more than 30 billion RMB, which is less than 5 billion US dollars. In addition, the website will take a commission, and the tax bureau will also collect taxes.

To put it bluntly, last year, all the cartoonists in Japan combined earned less than 1 billion U.S. dollars in royalties from cartoons alone, while Toru Fuyukawa earned more than 1 billion U.S. dollars from just one work, Elden Ring.
Dongchuan Che doesn't care about the royalties given to cartoonists, what he wants is the IP of these cartoonists' comics! As long as he can produce a comic of the level of "Dead Fire Sea" or "Dragon Ball", then he only needs to animate this comic and make it into a game, and the money will be enough for him to make!
Therefore, Dongchuan Che has been spending money regardless of the cost during this year, with the aim of digging for gold in the vast crowd.

To this end, he reformed the comic section of Shengguang Society. Not only was the royalties split 70% to 30%, with the cartoonists taking 70% and the company only taking 30%!
This is very attractive to cartoonists!

You should know that Japanese comic companies now either adopt a bonus model, that is, a certain amount of sales will give a certain amount of bonus, or adopt a profit-sharing model. The profit-sharing ratio of other companies is basically 50-50, or even 30-70, with the company taking 70% and the cartoonist taking 30%, but Fuyukawa Che is the opposite, 70-30!

In addition, all cartoonists who have signed contracts with Seikansha will receive a guaranteed salary of 100,000 yen every month as long as they continue to update their comics and as long as the number of viewers reaches a basic indicator!
One hundred thousand yen may not sound like much, but it means something different!
Because although other comic companies also have some basic royalties, such as paying cartoonists according to the number of pages, this also means that those comic websites will have very high requirements for comics.

Comics that comic editors are not sure will be popular will be rejected, and these rejected cartoonists will not get a penny!

You can't make a penny, and the cost of living in Tokyo is so high, so a large number of new cartoonists choose to leave the industry after failing in their submissions several times.

Although Holy Light Society also has basic data requirements, this requirement is actually very low. As long as it is not the kind of work that no one watches and no one is willing to pay for, it can basically meet the requirements.

This is very important for young people who currently cannot make money through comics, because it provides them with a basic living security!
Although this money may only be enough for them to pay rent and eat some discounted cheap food, and even feel bad about taking the subway, it does provide them with an environment where they can settle down and create comics!

Solve the basic living security of cartoonists, cast a wide net, and then use the 70%-30% profit as a carrot. When Fuyukawa Che saw the report handed over by Sato Fujiko on his desk, he was a little surprised when he saw the word "profit" on it.

In his mind, the comics section might need to spend a few more years of money before it could make a name for itself, but it was obvious that he still underestimated the power of money.

What’s interesting is that because the light novel, music and animation sectors all achieved profitability this year, the person in charge, Fujiko Sato, also took the initiative to take credit for it.

Dong Chuan Che was still looking at the report, and this charming beauty in a white shirt and hip skirt, who had a strong and sharp aura in front of outsiders, had already sat in his arms.

It must be said that it felt really good to hold Sato Fujiko's fair and soft [fully automatic] body in his arms. Dongchuan Che was also looking at the report on the tablet computer and started to operate it with one hand.

There was no way. Although Sato Fujiko was fair and soft, she didn't like sports very much. If I didn't hug her plump belly under her white shirt, which looked like a sexy lady, she would still have difficulty in panting.

But fortunately, as the two of them were playing, as Dongchuan Che got into the mood, he hurriedly picked her up and placed her on the boss chair.

Both of them liked this way, but when they were only halfway through the game, Miyano Mitsuha, with her slightly curly medium-length hair, pushed the door open with a document in her hand.

Seeing the state of the two, Miyano Mitsuko rolled her eyes at them in annoyance.

But it is obvious that they have been living together for so long that she has become accustomed to these things.

She put the documents on the table, took off her suit jacket, and walked over. Before long, four large flattened headlights appeared on the French window.

Tired but happy, this is Dongchuan Che’s biggest feeling in December this year.

On the one hand, he was very busy at work, with various meetings and forms to look at every day. On the other hand, not only were the women at home very considerate, but they also took the initiative to come and help him and relieve Dong Chuan Che's stress, and the full-automatic mode also made Dong Chuan Che very comfortable. At the same time, the data in those forms also showed that the Holy Light Society was thriving.

With success in both love and career, Dongchuan Che feels exhausted from work but also very fulfilled.

In this way, he usually handles some basic business in the company in the morning, and holds meetings with various departments in the afternoon to summarize this year's business and make plans for next year. In the evening, he goes home to play basketball and swim in the backyard with the wives, and after dinner, the whole family plays World of Warcraft together. The days pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another Christmas is coming.

Christmas is one of the most lively festivals in Japan. On the one hand, this is because of the influence of Western culture. On the other hand, it is also because the Japanese New Year is on January 12st, and the annual holiday is generally from December 28th to around January 1th.

That is to say, after Christmas on the 25th, they will work two more days before the annual holiday. And because the development of Shengguang Society is very smooth this year, Dongchuan Che also announced to the cheers of all Shengguang Society employees that the company will start the annual holiday directly after Christmas.

From December 12th to January 25th!
Almost ten days of vacation!
Although these ten-day holidays are not purely for vacation, there is no other way. The company has too many things to do right now. Even if some employees choose to stay in the company during the New Year holidays for personal reasons or to get five times the overtime pay, it is impossible for the company to let most employees be offline for ten days, not to mention that World of Warcraft will be launched in mid-January next year.

Therefore, Dongchuan Che said that he gave employees ten days off, and it was paid leave, but employees still had to keep their phones open.

Although they are not required to come to the company to work overtime, if there are any urgent business, they still need to handle it remotely.

But even so, this treatment is still extremely exaggerated!
Needless to say, when the document signed by Dongchuan Che was distributed to various departments of the company on Christmas Eve, the entire Holy Light Society turned into a sea of ​​joy, and many employees were shouting "Long live the president."

What's interesting is that many female employees had already prepared various Christmas gifts. Dong Chuan Che had just got off work and was going to the parking lot with his group of wives to go home when he was stopped by the security guard. When he saw the security guard winking and opening the door, revealing a room full of gifts, Dong Chuan Che was completely stunned.

Of course he wouldn't have to live in Bengbu after receiving gifts from girls, but there was no other way. When he saw some of the gifts in heart-shaped boxes, Sato Fujiko and Izumi Himawari's little hands grabbed the soft flesh around his waist.
.
Just like this time last year, when Dongchuan Che left the company with a large family of women, he did not drive home directly, but went to the familiar vegetable market first.

Needless to say, when Dongchuan Che brought a group of beauties to the vegetable market, all the vendors inside immediately showed flattering and awe-inspiring smiles on their faces.

This is mainly because Dongchuan Che's family not only buys a lot of food every time, but also never bargains and pays very generously.

Every store owner would like such a customer, but Dongchuan Che is not a good person either.

Once, Sayoko had a fever, and Fuyukawa Che came to buy groceries after leaving get off work early. It happened that there was a new store owner in the seafood section.

The shop owner saw that Dongchuan Che was young and gentle, and didn't look like someone who often went shopping for groceries, so he not only played tricks on the scale, but also took advantage of Dongchuan Che's phone call to buy some unconscious and dead shrimps.

Honestly speaking, now that he is so rich, Dongchuan Che doesn't want to compete with these old uncles and sisters who are just trying to make a living for a little money.

The other party played with the scale, and he would just not buy next time, because he was too lazy to mess with him. But Sayoko was sick and was receiving an IV drip in the hospital, so he was very impatient. As a result, the other party still messed with him, so the seafood store that was said to have some connections in this vegetable market closed down within two days of opening, and his relative who was on duty in the vegetable market also left.

Since then, no one dared to play tricks in front of Dongchuan Che's family. But it was obvious that neither Dongchuan Che nor Sayoko cared about the opinions of passers-by, and the whole family was immersed in the joy of Christmas Eve.

"I bought this beef to make Sukiyaki. Oh, by the way, Che, how about some cold edamame to go with the wine tonight?"

Miyano Mitsuha said this while selecting edamame in front of the stall. Beside her, Fuyukawa Tetsu, who took the bag from Akiyama Kaori, nodded, "I'm fine with anything. But by the way, isn't Futaba going home this year?"

Toru Fuyukawa spoke the second half in a low voice, and at the same time looked at the F-sized loli Koyama Futaba who was following Chika Ohara and clamoring for pork belly.

There was some curiosity in his eyes.

Although Futaba Koyama has basically been living in her own home since the middle of the year because she had no money to eat, Christmas is coming soon, and after Christmas it will be New Year.

It was normal for Sayoko, Aoi, and Akiyama Kaori to live at home. After all, they were a family, and their relatives from their mother's side had already said hello. When it came time to visit during the New Year, those relatives would come directly to Fuyukawa's house. But Koyama Futaba
Aren’t you going home for the New Year?

Dongchuan Che raised his eyebrows slightly.
