Chapter 56 Sales Channels

"The 7% royalty can be agreed, but as long as your company can agree to my personal request, you can sign the contract directly today!"

The amount of royalties is not what Zhao Chen values ​​the most. For him, this time, Shuyingshe is just a gift for money. As for how much he can earn, it is an unexpected surprise.

The expression on Aida Makino's face immediately turned serious. He didn't know Zhao Chen's purpose, but he still asked in a little embarrassing manner: "Why don't Mr. Zhao have any conditions?"

"Mr. Aita doesn't know. I founded a comic company in Xiangjiang some time ago, but you should also know that the market limitations of Xiangjiang are too small, so I plan to start a branch in your country in the future. But you should also know that if a newly opened comic company does not have an inherent sales channel, it is basically impossible to survive! So, if I start a comic company in your country in the future, I hope to borrow your company's sales channel as a helper, what does Mr. Aita think?"

Following Lin Feng's narration, the two island people looked at each other speechlessly. They really didn't expect that the young man in front of them had founded a comic company at a young age and even made up his mind to Shueisha.

"This...is really a big deal. To be honest, I don't have this right. I need to discuss it with the headquarters!"

Aida Makino showed a embarrassed expression on his face. He had never heard a cartoonist in his life put forward such conditions. It was really unexpected. He really couldn't understand the boy in front of him, but he would not regard it as a threat.

It is indeed easier to create a comic company in the island country, but even if you have a sales channel, you still need a certain number of comics. After all, comic magazines in the island country basically have two or three hundred pages, which is completely different from Xiangjiang. You should know that Xiangjiang's comic magazines can count them with one hand, but these comic magazines have relatively few pages, and basically, as long as two or three cartoonists maintain it, they can reach the number of pages of the magazine.

This is true for "Question Magazine". In addition to Zhao Chen, there were two local cartoonists in Xiangjiang who would publish comics together. However, due to Zhao Chen's personal requirements, the original weekly magazine became a three-day magazine, which forced "Question Magazine" to add two cartoonists again to barely maintain enough page count.

This is the huge difference in the number of pages of the two magazines. If you want to start a comic magazine in an island country, you need almost ten cartoonists to barely maintain it, otherwise you may not even be able to reach the number of basic pages.

In Aida Makino's view, Zhao Chen was undoubtedly blinded by his temporary success and believed that success was very simple. It was precisely because of this that he took it for granted that the comic company Zhao Chen founded in the future would not pose a threat to Shueisha. Only the primary school hall and Baiquanshe could pose a threat to Shueisha.

Makina Aida figured out these things, and then borrowed a phone number from Shangguan Xiaobao to contact each other across the country.

The distance between Xiangjiang and the island country is not too far, and it is just a treasure island in the middle. The cost of cross-border telephones is actually not too expensive, especially for a company.

During a busy tone, the phone finally rang. Aida Masaki called the headquarters, and the conversation finally ended.

"Huh!" Aida Makino let out a light breath, then said to Zhao Chen with a smile: "I have let you wait for a long time. Mr. Zhao's request is fully authorized to agree on behalf of Shueisha! If there are no other questions, you can sign a contract!"

In previous conversations with the headquarters, Aida Makini believed that the comic company Zhao Chen founded in the future would not pose any threat to Shueisha, which led him to indirectly convince the senior leaders of Shueisha. After all, for Aida Makini, as long as "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" succeeded in the island country, most of the credit would be his.

"No more, Mr. Aita, you can fit the contract!"

Zhao Chen showed an extremely bright smile on his face. Although he only borrowed Shueisha's sales channels once, as long as his comics and magazines are of sufficient quality at that time, he can expand his own sales channels, and at least save a lot of time and energy.

When Zhao Chen signed the contract, it was already evening. Zhao Chen didn't fully recognize the Japanese language on the contract. He was afraid that there would be loopholes, so he found an interpreter and a lawyer. It was not until he was completely sure that there were no loopholes in the contract that he finally signed the name of both parties.

"Mr. Zhao, happy cooperation! If Mr. Zhao has other works in the future, you can come to me at any time!"

Before leaving, Aida Masaki said a polite word. His preconceived concept made him think that Zhao Chen would keep serializing "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

In fact, Masaki Aida's point of view is not wrong. It is true that the situation of Hong Kong comics is in this situation. If they achieve good sales, they will continue to be serialized. Unless the sales drop to a certain level, they will be truly completed. Whether it is "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Bruce Lee", "Old Master", or later generations of "Chinese Heroes" and "Storm and Clouds".

It is precisely because of this that Makina Aida believes that as long as the quality of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is maintained, the serialization time may be more than ten years.

After Aida Makino and Mahiro Mahaba left, Shangguan Xiaobao asked worriedly: "Zhao Chen, you don't really want to start a comic company in the island country, right!"

"Yes! When the comic company here develops to a certain extent, I will go to the island country!"

"But have you ever thought about it? Even with Shueisha's help, you will basically not be able to succeed. Not to mention the differences in the style and cultural differences between the two places, just because you are not familiar with it at all, how can you act!"

"Uncle Shangguan, I'm just planning ahead. I'll talk about this when the comic company I just founded develops! But I still want to ask Uncle Shangguan to ask Uncle Shangguan to help me with two assistants!" Zhao Chen knew that this kind of thing was not clear at all, and it was likely to be exposed, so he used this excuse to make excuses. As for why he wanted to recruit two assistants, one of them was naturally to help Zhou Huimin complete the work of "Football Young Player" together, and the other was mainly used to draw the background of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

After Zhao Chen talked about the conditions of the two assistants, he left the Holy Fire Publishing House.

After Zhao Chen left the office, Shangguan Xiaobao sighed for some reason, and the room began to fall into a terrible silence, as if something was brewing.

On the road in Chaiwan, a car was moving forward quickly, and two islanders were sitting in the back seat of the car, and their destination was Xiangjiang International Airport.

"Manager, didn't the editor-in-chief say that he wanted to win over that young cartoonist! Why don't you try it? After all, he is no worse than those genius cartoonists!" Zhen Guangbaichi, who had not spoken before, seemed to remember something, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"He is indeed not worse than other geniuses, but he is too ambitious! He now has his own comic company, so there will be no chance to win him over at this time! He will wait until he suffers. When that time, I think he will join Shueisha obediently!"
