Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 151 Acquisition of a Shipyard

"People from the comics department, your next task is to draw this story." Ji Chang said as he took out a small notebook.

There are five people in the comics club, three of whom are women. They are all pretty and very young.

They all gathered together and saw the words "Death Note" written on the notebook.

This story was adapted by Ji Chang based on the well-known comic "Death Note". After all, the times are different, and the male protagonist's purpose is also different.

After watching it, several people immediately became interested.

"President, this comic will definitely be very popular. You are really awesome." The people in the comics department immediately began to flatter Ji Chang.

"Start drawing as soon as possible. The male protagonist should be drawn handsome, but don't make him look too much like me." Ji Chang didn't want people to think that he had any relationship with him.

"Okay, President. Let's start drawing today. With your storybook as a basis, we will be able to finish it quickly."

Those who are able to be recruited are the best in this field.

Although comics from the island country have not yet become popular, there are already some talented people working in this field.

Ji Chang from the Film and Television Department also met with him, but he didn't give him any script.

He doesn't want to do everything. If he pays people, he naturally wants these people to demonstrate their value.

Otherwise, why would I invite them?
Do I really have too much money and nowhere to spend it?
After the meeting, Ji Chang left the TV station.

He had other things to deal with, so he didn't delay here.

After leaving the TV station, Ji Chang went to the port.

After boarding his own seafood ship, Ji Chang drove the fishing boat out to sea.

At sea, Ji Chang felt the situation in the sea.

After waiting for a suitable location, Ji Chang released the shark from his seafood space.

These sharks are too young and need to grow up.

If you want to grow, you naturally need to eat.

This place has a variety of fish to give the sharks a good meal.

At the same time, Ji Chang also jumped into the sea.

He has recently discovered that if he wants to make himself stronger, he has to stay in the sea.

He came to this place not only to feed the sharks, but also to salvage.

There is a shipwreck here with some gold that can be salvaged.

He is still very short of money now, and he can quickly cash out the gold.

With the money, he can continue to expand.

Now is the best of times, and it is also an era of expansion.

Ji Chang stood at the bow, staring at the rough sea, planning his next move in his mind. He knew that every trip to sea was an opportunity, and he must make full use of these opportunities to enhance his strength and financial resources.

As the Seafood slowly moved forward, Ji Chang began to command the sharks to patrol the sea, looking for prey to prey on. Under his training, these sharks have become extremely strong and ferocious. They shuttled through the sea and caught various fish from time to time.

Ji Chang also jumped into the sea, his body blending perfectly with the seawater, feeling the flow of the seawater and the vitality of marine life. His goal was the sunken ship, and he needed to find the exact location of the gold on the ship.

On the seabed, Ji Chang quickly found the location of the shipwreck like a nimble fish. He carefully observed the structure and condition of the shipwreck, and then began to carefully salvage the gold. After years of seawater erosion, the gold still shines with an attractive light.

A few hours later, Ji Chang returned to the ship with a net bag full of gold. He knew that the gold would bring him a considerable income and provide financial support for his subsequent expansion plan.

After returning to the port, Ji Chang handed the gold to his men and asked them to cash it in. He believed that with these funds, he could further expand his business territory, whether it was the TV station, the comics department or the power company, all would be better developed.

At the same time, the members of the comics club have already started the creation of "Death Note". Based on the story outline provided by Ji Chang, they use their imagination and creativity to present the story in the form of comics.

A few days later, Ji Chang came to the TV station again to check the progress of the comics department. He saw the first draft and was satisfied with the work of the members. He knew that once this comic was released, it would cause a sensation and bring more attention and revenue to the TV station.

Ji Chang expressed his appreciation for the members of the comics club and encouraged them to continue their efforts and create more excellent works.

"President, can we publish this comic?" The head of the comics department looked at Ji Chang cautiously.

After all, this is their first work, and they hope it can meet readers as soon as possible.

"Please draw more. I need to make it into a single volume before publishing. Although it can be serialized in newspapers, your content is too little. It would be bad if something unexpected happened and we stopped updating."

Ji Chang had experienced this before after all, and he knew that it would be even more uncomfortable to stop suddenly.

The head of the comics department nodded, expressing his understanding. He knew that Ji Chang's concerns were not unreasonable. After all, in the process of comic creation, it is inevitable to encounter various unforeseen factors, such as the author's health problems, lack of inspiration, etc., which may lead to the interruption of comic updates.

"Okay, President, we will speed up the process and try to complete more content in the shortest time possible." The person in charge said seriously.

Ji Chang nodded, then turned to the other members, "You are all important members of the team, and everyone's work is crucial. If you encounter any problems during the creative process, you can always report them to me and we will solve them together."

The members felt Ji Chang's care and support, and were full of energy. They knew that only by unity and cooperation could they overcome all difficulties and create truly excellent works.

In the following weeks, the members of the comics department worked overtime and worked day and night. They constantly discussed the plot and carefully designed each picture, striving to present the story of "Death Note" to readers in the most perfect form. At the same time, Ji Chang was not idle either. In addition to handling the daily affairs of the TV station, he also personally participated in the publicity planning of "Death Note". He knew that a good work, in addition to the content itself being attractive, also needs effective publicity and promotion.

Ji Chang contacted many media and arranged a series of promotional activities, including interviews with cartoonists, character design demonstrations, and trailer releases for the comics. He also used his connections to invite some celebrities to endorse Death Note to increase its exposure.

After a few weeks, the members of the comics club finally finished enough content. Ji Chang reviewed all the manuscripts and highly praised the members' efforts.

“You’ve done a great job,” Ji Chang said. “Now, we can start preparing for the release.”

Under Ji Chang's arrangement, the TV station began to release promotional materials for "Death Note" on various platforms, which attracted widespread attention. Many readers are full of expectations for this new comic adapted from a classic work.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, Ji Chang stood on the roof of the TV station, looking at the starry sky, his heart full of anticipation and excitement. He knew that tomorrow, the single volume of "Death Note" would be officially released. This would be a new beginning and an important step in the expansion of his business territory.

The next day, when the first rays of sunlight shone into the TV station's lobby, the single volume of "Death Note" was already displayed in prominent positions in major bookstores. Readers flocked to the bookstores, scrambling to buy this highly anticipated new work.

The members of the comics department also arrived at the TV station early. They sat in front of the TV, nervously and excitedly waiting for readers' feedback. When they saw the positive reviews and praises on social media, they finally felt relieved.

Ji Chang walked into the comics club and looked at the smiling members. He knew that their efforts were not in vain and this "Death Note" would become a highlight in their careers.

"Congratulations, everyone," Ji Chang said. "This is just the beginning. I believe we will have more success in the future. Let us work together to create more glory!"

The members of the comics club responded in unison. They knew that as long as they had Ji Chang's leadership and support, their future would be bright.

With this comic as a starting point, there will definitely be a place for his comics in the future.

Ji Chang also gave everyone a bonus to motivate them and make them work harder.

After all, money is the most real thing.

Ji Chang's move not only surprised the members of the comics club, but also made them feel the president's attention to the team and his expectations for the work. They knew that this bonus was not only a recognition of their past efforts, but also an encouragement for their future work.

"Thank you all for your hard work during this period," Ji Chang said at the comics department meeting. "The success of this Death Note is inseparable from everyone's efforts. I hope that this bonus can make you feel my sincerity, and I also hope that it can inspire everyone's more creative enthusiasm."

The members expressed their gratitude one after another, their eyes sparkling with vision and determination for the future. They knew that this was just the beginning, they still had a long way to go and many dreams to realize.

In the following days, the members of the comics department worked even harder to create. They constantly explored new painting techniques and tried different narrative methods, striving to make every chapter of Death Note fresh and attractive.

At the same time, Ji Chang did not relax the management of other departments of the TV station. He knew that a successful enterprise not only needed excellent works, but also efficient management and operation. He began to optimize the internal structure of the TV station and improve work efficiency. At the same time, he was also looking for new investment opportunities, hoping to further expand the influence of the TV station.

Under the leadership of Ji Chang, the TV station's business gradually expanded to more areas, including animation production, peripheral product development, etc. The success of "Death Note" also brought more partners and business opportunities to the TV station.

As time went by, the popularity of "Death Note" increased, becoming a business card of Huaxia Entertainment. The members of the comics department also became famous because of this work and became new stars in the industry.

Ji Chang looked at all this, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction. He knew that his original decision was correct, and he believed that as long as he continued to work hard, Huaxia Entertainment would be able to occupy a place in the entertainment industry and create more glory.

The culture has been continuously developing, and Ji Chang has not given up on salvage.

Whenever he has time, he will go out to sea to salvage.

Because there are still many places where money needs to be spent, he needs to constantly salvage treasures and exchange them for money to invest in various aspects.

During this period, he asked Uotani Hanaaki to help him find a shipyard.

He hopes to acquire all the shipyards in the entire island country as long as they are willing to make a move.

By chance, Uotani Hanaaki learned that a shipyard in the southern part of the island country was facing bankruptcy due to poor management, and he immediately reported the news to Ji Chang.

"President, I found an opportunity," Uotani Hanaaki said excitedly on the phone. "There is a shipyard in the south that is currently having trouble operating. If we can acquire it, it will not only facilitate our salvage business, but also further expand our business scope."

After hearing this, Ji Chang immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity, so he decided to go to the south in person to inspect the situation of the shipyard.

After an on-site inspection, Ji Chang discovered that although the shipyard was currently operating poorly, it had a superior geographical location and complete equipment. As long as proper management and capital investment were carried out, it would be fully capable of turning losses into profits.

"Okay, let's buy it," Ji Chang said decisively, "I will arrange the funds immediately, and you will be responsible for negotiating with them and completing the acquisition as soon as possible."

Uotani Hanaaki took the order and quickly completed the acquisition of the shipyard at a reasonable price.

The equipment doesn't matter, what matters is the people.

People are more valuable than equipment. Equipment can be bought, but people are hard to buy.

Ji Chang spent a lot of time and effort to convince them to go to Hokkaido.

Gutan Village has built a shipyard, but has been unable to recruit staff.

This time, Ji Chang acquired this shipyard because he was attracted by these personnel.

In the village of Gutan in Ishikari, the new shipyard was soon put into operation, and the workers and their families started a new life here.

Ji Chang not only provides them with stable jobs, but also provides necessary support for their families, including housing and employment opportunities.

These measures have greatly improved employee loyalty and work enthusiasm, and also laid a solid foundation for the rapid development of the shipyard.

The successful operation of the shipyard added new vitality to Ji Chang's fishing empire.

He began designing and building more advanced fishing boats to improve fishing efficiency and safety.

At the same time, he is also considering how to expand the shipbuilding business to broader areas, such as yacht manufacturing, maritime tourism, etc.
