Cartoonist's Dream
Chapter 177: The Shangguo Incident
The staff resignation of Shangguo Publishing House and the company's great development are both going on quietly. Only those who follow the small circle of comics and magazines know about this news, and it cannot be published as news in major newspapers.
Not long after the summer vacation started, Li Mu received an inexplicable phone call.But Li Xiuli was the first to answer the call——
"Hello, is this Teacher Pear Wood?"
"Limu, he's at a classmate's house now."
"Is it convenient to contact him now?" [
"Well, it shouldn't be a problem, just call 4835..."
The phone number was from Lu's house, and Li Mu was not at home at this time.
The school is on summer vacation, as long as Lu Hui stays at home, he will visit Lu's house no matter when he is painting or free time.
The roof of Lu's house has become more lively than last year.Lu Hui, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Wei, the youngest daughter of the Lu family, Yisha, Limu's full-time bodyguard, Mo Xin, who just came back from abroad, Mo Xin's full-time bodyguard Bot...
Instead, the central figure who brought them together ran down to answer the phone.
"Hi, I'm Limu."
"Hello, Mr. Riki, I'm the president of Sunrose Company, Takashi Yoshii."
——It's not Ryoko!Not Anya!Not Wang Bingyu!
Hearing his mother-in-law Li Shushu calling from downstairs, "I have a call for Mr. Li Mu", I thought it was Ryoko's call.Li Mu was originally full of joy, but now it was all in vain.
"Hello, Mr. President, what can I do for you?"
——Fortunately, he didn't use a too blunt attitude.
The next moment when Li Mu was in a bad mood——suddenly realized who it was that called him.
——sunrose!President Sunrise?The president of this big company called me?
Everyone knows that Sunrose is a big company, but how big it is...Li Mu himself doesn't know.But I know that it not only participates in the publishing of manga, but also produces animation at the same time.Familiar aired
"How much do they give?"
"25%..."
Limu deliberately exaggerated the 5% share on the original basis, which is three times higher than the proportion of the top painter's single-line profit.
"We give you 30%, manga and animation are 30%."
The treatment given by sunrose is so generous that Limu can talk about it, and the implication is that he promises to animate his comics?One-stop service from a first-class company... But.
"I signed an author's contract with Shangguo Publishing House, so"
Li Mu found another excuse.It's a pity that the other party was already prepared.
"Mr. Limu, please don't worry about this, sunrose will pay the liquidated damages for you."
He is already ready.
Pear wood realized.After all, he was the head of a company who made the phone call himself, so it was unreasonable not to have prepared in advance.He is the president of tens of thousands of dollars per minute, even if it costs 1 yuan to buy a material, it is worthwhile.
Even with such extensive preparations, Li Mu could still hear him feeling a little uneasy, as if he was waiting for a reply from the other end of the phone...
I really have a lot of sincerity, if I switch to Sunrose, I will definitely get preferential treatment.
"I'm sorry, if your agency could have called two years earlier, I would have served your agency without saying a word. But now I have established a relationship with Shangguo agency."
Riki, who received such generous treatment two years ago, will definitely seek refuge in Japan.Japan has a good manga soil, industrial chain, buyers, and cultural background, and Li Mu’s ideal is to become a great manga artist, so he doesn’t need to bother to improve the domestic manga environment as he is doing now.
To put it simply, if Ma Cuiteng’s penguin comics department and Japan’s Shueisha found Li Mu to sign at the same time, he would definitely choose the latter.If it is not recognized by the Japanese, it is a big deal to change to a Japanese nationality!
For the sake of ideals, he can really change his nationality!
But things are different now.As time went on, he found that the "Ultimate Painter" system was very powerful.
When he first submitted the manuscript, he only upgraded to "Seiko Secret Work lv1", and he could only draw 2-4 pages a day. This weak number did not change anything for him. It would take 6 or 7 years at the earliest to complete a full-length comic; now In the state of balance of gold coins, even with the strategy of drawing for two days with skills and two days without skills, the average manga manuscript drawn every day is at least 30 pages or more.
In the future, the speed of drawing can be even faster!If you can have the speed of the printer 1\100.
At that time, not to mention improving the domestic comic environment, even if it is to lead Chinese comics to the international frontier - he has at least [-]% confidence! ...Li Mu really didn't dare to guarantee [-]% of the money by relying on his own strength. [
Now that we can realize our ideals at home, why bother to invest in another country?
"With all due respect, recently I heard that the Shangguo Club has undergone a major change. The club is no longer the previous Shangguo Club. If you find it unfamiliar, please give me a call. My sunrose club will bring you a sense of home. "President Yoshii's exhaustion so far means that the conversation is coming to an end.
"Unfortunately, my direct editor is Chief Editor Lu. As long as she doesn't leave, I won't feel unfamiliar with Shangguoshe." Li Mu vowed.
******
Tokyo, the headquarters of the Japan Manga Association, a person is sitting in front of a large screen suspended from the ceiling.
He was alone in the empty office.With your elbows on the table and your chin on the back of your hands, you are facing the big screen for video conferencing.It is Mr. KW, the president of the Japanese Manga Association.
"Yoshii, how are you going?"
"We were two years late and he was very loyal to the company."
If I could hear such an evaluation, Li Mu would probably laugh.However, Yoshii and the president of the Manga Association use a remote conference system, which has much better security performance than the remote video of later generations, and it is not easy to eavesdrop on the content.
Remote video conferencing is still using the client with the \s conceptual architecture, and even a technologically advanced country like Japan needs several million to buy a set. The rise of jv programming has competed for the programming market, and the b\s concept will become popular only after programming becomes simpler, but such a system requires at least hundreds of thousands of architectures.
Mr. kw's use of such a system to chat one-on-one is really a bit extravagant and wasteful.
Hearing the news of the failure of the "headhunting" mission, Mr. KW closed his eyes resolutely.If the authors of "Steel Refining" and "Qin Shi" can be hunted down, Shangguo Publishing House will basically lose a limb.
And it was the right hand that was abolished!
"I'm very ashamed, both Anshan-kun and Nuochuan-kun have done a good job, but on my side..." Yoshii took the responsibility on himself with a straight face.
Anshan from enx company, and Bu Chuan from sp company.The former of the two sent commercial spies to Shangguo Company as early as a year ago, and the latter came from behind and successfully separated the four founders of Shangguo Company.
"President Yoshii needs to blame himself, have you threatened him with 'conviction'?"
"no next time……"
"No need, I'll ask An Shan to threaten." Mr. KW smiled, "Lest they realize that we are jointly suppressing."
If the president of Shangguo realizes it, he will have a sense of resistance. At least the spies inserted into Shangguo by the Manga Association will have to be careful from now on.The task of the spies is to find out the identities of other authors, and the task of the association is to pluck out the hairs of Shangguo Publishing House. A thwarted commercial espionage investigation is tantamount to a thwarted plan.
Theoretically, Yoshii should not know that "conviction" and "Ali" are the same person, so Yoshii's threat may arouse the little boy's vigilance.
...It is not an exaggeration to look at the little boy with his performance in the global mathematics competition.
"Yes, I will be careful." Yoshii nodded affirmatively without moving his eyebrows.
"You call that child once a month. You don't need the help of other agencies. It's just you and An Shan. You don't need to pretend to be too attentive."
"Yes."
……
If Limu heard these words, he would be shocked, it turned out that the conflict between the four daughters of Shangguo was caused by someone sowing discord!
It is true that Lu Lingling's tightrope walking skills are superb, but when she walked in the middle, she was kicked.At this time, the troublemaker has already succeeded in his first step, the original team of Shangguo Publishing House is split, the shrewd and capable president is alone, and spies are hidden among the newly recruited employees.And their next step is to pry into the corner of the National Society...
It's a pity that they never thought that due to "some reasons", Li Mu and Lu Lingling had actually entered the first-level alert state.
The real identities of Future, June, Ali, Daoren, and Rose are highly confidential in the company, even for the key employee Lu Lingling.Not only is Lu Lingling trying to protect the author's true identity, but Limu also deliberately filled in the sending address when sending the mail!
What he handles are still confidential letters, even if someone with a heart finds the envelope in the trash can, it will help, and others can't even determine which province in China it is sent from.Of course, Limu's imaginary enemy is passerby A, who is worried that passerby A accidentally discovers the secret and discloses it to the news company.
Lu Lingling was in her position to plan her affairs, and her imaginary enemy was naturally a hostile company, located in Mantianxia Publishing House not far from Shangguo Company.
For the sake of confidentiality, after she received the manuscript envelope, she took out the manuscript and immediately burned the envelope...
