The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

Chapter 181 Poaching people (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

"Young Master Huan, I beat five of them one at a time, and I didn't suffer at all. Is it considered to be honoring the country?"

After clarifying the matter, Qin Peng licked his face and said to Chu Huanxian: "If Kui Zai didn't hold back, I could have beaten two more. It's a pity that the people from the police station have come."

Chu Huan glanced at Qin Peng, and said calmly: "If you can sleep five of you, then you will really win glory for the country!"

Qin Peng was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Maybe it's okay to work hard, but I'm worried that all the water will come out from behind!"

Chu Huan glanced at Qin Peng speechlessly: "Why do I feel that after this fight, you seem to have opened up your second branch of Ren Du?"

Qin Peng laughed and said, "I don't know why, anyway, it just feels good to beat up those little Japanese."

Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Okay, you've won glory for the country, let's go back and give you three a good celebration!"

Seeing that Chu Huan was not angry because of this incident, Bao Tianming, Liu Pingkui, and Qin Peng were quietly relieved.

Several people returned to the hotel together.

In the next few days, Chu Huan’s life in Japan will become much more boring. In the morning, Chu Huan will go out to find various comic book stores, pack and buy all the comics that can be seen in the Japanese market now, and then Sent back to Xiangjiang.

In the afternoon, we will go to insect production, and get familiar with the creative process of insect production.

Chu Huan soon discovered that the people here looked listless, as if they were ready to pack up and leave at any time. After being told by the translator beside him, Chu Huan knew why these people were like this.

Just as Chu Huan already knew the news, the entire staff of Chong Production basically knew the current situation of Chong Production. They were heavily in debt and unable to repay the bank loan.

In other words, the date when their company's bank loan expires is when the worm production goes bankrupt.

That's why these people are so listless, but Chu Huan also found that there were a few people who were in a different state from them. After inquiring, they learned that these people had either already found their next home, or were planning to start their own businesses.

Osamu Tezuka's influence in the Japanese animation industry is unparalleled, and these people can be regarded as his apprentices. Even if the insect production goes bankrupt, as long as these people are willing to put down their dignity and go out to find a job, they will not starve to death in the animation industry.

In fact, this is also the case. After Worm Production went bankrupt next year, these people did not leave the animation industry. Some started their own businesses, some drew their own comics, and finally became famous people.

It can be seen that although Bug Production is not well managed, it is indeed the HP military academy in the Japanese animation industry.

In addition, Chu Huan is familiar with the creative process of insect production. The main writer is naturally Osamu Tezuka, but in many cases Osamu Tezuka is only responsible for the beginning part, and then distributes the outline of the story, and then Akio Sugino and others are responsible for the completion.

Unless those special comics were written by Osamu Tezuka himself, the others were completed by these people.

"This is a bit like the creation process of North American comics!"

After Chu Huan discovered this, he also noticed the difference between Chongzuo and other comics in Japan.

In Japan, a manga is basically completed independently by an original author, at most accompanied by an editor like a butler.

Just like Akira Toriyama later, he created "Arale" and "Dragon Ball" from the story to the painting by himself.

In this way, there is the rumor, why Akira Toriyama must write Sharu to death, because the character of Sharu is too difficult to draw.

After learning about this, Chu Huan went to "Weekly Shonen Jump", a manga magazine founded in 1968, and "Weekly Shonen Magazine" and "Weekly Shonen Sunday" are also known as Japan's three major comics weekly.

Among them, "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "Captain Tsubasa", "One Piece" and "Naruto", which are familiar to young people in China, basically come from this comic magazine.

However, in the past, "Weekly Shonen Jump" was not as smooth as the production of the insect removal. The other party is now a big business, and doesn't care about Chu Huan's identity at all.

As for Chu Huan's proposed visit, he was even rejected on the spot.

Chu Huan turned and left without saying anything.

Power is the last word.

So when he left "Weekly Shonen Jump", Chu Huan decided that he would be able to find the cartoonist who wrote "Weekly Shonen Jump" in the future.

After getting acquainted with the people who made the insects, Chu Huan began to play his friendly character, and began to invite them to eat and drink, and within two times, Chu Huan became acquainted with these people.

And this also allowed Chu Huan to understand the personalities of these people, who was more likely to be poached by him and go to Xiangjiang.

On the other side, Osamu Tezuka also gradually understood Chu Huan's routine, but he didn't say anything about Chu Huan's behavior.

Seeing that Chong Production was about to close down, even if Chu Huan didn't show up, these people must have found another job.

Now that Chu Huan shows up, it's better to form a relationship and see if there is any chance for the two parties to cooperate in the future!

Today is Chu Huan's fifth day at Worm Production, and after get off work tonight, Chu Huan invited a painter named Yasuo Kamakura to have dinner alone.

This person is not the most famous person in insect production, and compared with Akio Sugino and others, his ability is even worse. However, after observing these few days, Chu Huan discovered an interesting thing.

This person is basically a jack-of-all-trades talent in insect production, and he can be seen in any department, which shows that this person is familiar with the entire creation process of insect production.

This is what Chu Huan needs. People who are too shrewd, such as Akio Sugino, are very difficult to control. Moreover, Chu Huan also found out that Akio Sugino and Tomo Yamazaki already have financial backers, and they are going to help them establish their own of the studio.

Chu Huan doesn't need such a talent, his heart is too wild!

In addition, Yasuo Kamakura has a weakness that can be exploited by Chu Huan

In the izakaya, Chu Huan and Yasuo Kamakura were sitting at the bar.

"Mr. Chu, I'm really surprised. There are so many people in the company. I didn't expect you to choose me in the end!"

Yasuo Kamakura seemed to know why Chu Huan was looking for him.

Chu Huan smiled: "It seems that the people who made the worm already know what I think."

Yasuo Shencang said: "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart."

The Japanese are obsessed with "Three Kingdoms", and people all over the country know it.

Chu Huan said openly and honestly: "Since you already know, then I won't go around the circle. I will return to Xiangjiang with you. I will give your mother the money for medical treatment!"

This is Yasuo Kamakura's weakness. Through observation these days, Chu Huan knows that this person is a very filial person. Overtime is normal in Japan, but it is even more exaggerated in Insect Production. Overtime is as normal as breathing.

But even so, Yasuo Kamakura is still the one who came first and the one who left last.

All this is in the hope of getting more overtime pay and treating my mother's illness.

Sure enough, after Chu Huan said this, Kamakura Yasuo immediately showed a trace of excitement, "Mr. Chu, are you telling the truth?"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "Of course, I never joke about this kind of thing. If you don't believe me, we can go to the hospital tomorrow morning and pay all the expenses for your mother's treatment!"

If Yasuo Kamakura uses it properly, Chu Huan is going to spend at least ten years on him, using this amount of medical expenses that in Yasuo Kamakura's view is astronomical, but in Chu Huan's view, it is just a few more times Tian Ni's fee, using this money to win over a person's heart, is simply too lucrative.

Yasuo Kamakura stood up excitedly on the chair, bowed deeply to Chu Huan, and said, "Thank you Mr. Chu, I will definitely not let you down!"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "I'm waiting for your words."

Excited, Kamakura Yasuo began to explain to Chu Huan in detail the creative process of worm production, when he talked about the animation production section.

Chu Huan interrupted him: "I don't have an idea to do animation yet. I will focus on manga first, and then I will think about animation after the manga is ready."

Although Chu Huan wants to set up his own animation company, Xiangjiang is different from Japan. Xiangjiang's TV stations are basically self-produced and sold.

Play the programs and TV dramas I made, and don't buy them outside at all. Even if Chu Huan has made animations, TVB, and Li's TV may not necessarily buy them.

Even if they would buy it, they would keep the price very low. For Chu Huan, the gain outweighs the loss.

Instead, it's better to concentrate on comics, and then study the TV station after the comic magazine is launched.

Hearing what Chu Huan said, Yasuo Kamakura did not insist, but started another suggestion very kindly.

"There is one more thing, that is the problem of the painters. There are more than 50 painters in Chong Production, which is still not enough. If Mr. Chu wants to set up a comic magazine in Xiangjiang, then he needs to bring some Japanese painters there, but If this is the case, it must be more than Japan in terms of remuneration."

This is a difficult problem, Chu Huan thought for a while, and said: "You first contact the painters you are familiar with, not girly styles, as many as you can contact, after I arrive in Xiangjiang, I will recruit some painters in Xiangjiang , but the level of these painters should not be as high as yours, and you will need to train them when the time comes."

Kamakura Yasuo hesitated and said: "There is no problem with this, but even if their technology is sufficient, what really supports a manga is the story, if there is no good story?"

"You don't have to worry about this!" Chu Huan already had his own ideas about the development of comic magazines in the early stage, and asked directly: "Have you read Xiangjiang Jinyong's martial arts novels?"

Yasuo Kamakura nodded and said, "Mr. Jin Yong's works are also very popular in Japan!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "That's good. In the initial stage of our comic magazine, we will use Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels and other martial arts novelists as blueprints to adapt the comics. Of course, if in the process, there are Any artist who has his own story can also try to create it, and if it passes the company's internal review, their comics can also be published."

Later generations have the impression of Xiangjiang's comics because of the comics of the same name of the movie "Young and Dangerous", as well as "Fengyun", "Chinese Heroes", "Dragon Tiger Gate" and other comics.

But in fact, for a period of time, comics adapted from Jin Yong's novels had a very good market in Xiangjiang and even the entire Southeast Asia.

At this time, the comic market in Xiangjiang cannot be said to have just emerged. After all, in 1959, Xiangjiang published the semi-monthly "Manga World", but Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao, who really brought Xiangjiang's comics to the commercial market, also It's just getting started.

Huang Yulang is serializing his "Little Rascal", which was later renamed "Dragon Tiger Gate".

But at this time, Huang Yulang has not established his own Yulang International, and Shangguan Xiaobao is also a miserable worker!

As for Jin Yong's novels, they are still very resistant in the hearts of Xiangjiang people. If a manga adapted from Jin Yong's novels is released at this time, for those fans of Jin Yong's novels, it will definitely be full of feelings and expectations.

Especially when TV dramas have not yet risen.

Chu Huan believes that the release of comics based on Jin Yong's novels at this time should be very marketable.

In addition, Chu Huan was still in Taiwan Island, co-founded a martial arts magazine with Shangguan Yu and Gu Long. At that time, Chu Huan told the two of them that they would release fan comics of the novels published in the martial arts magazine in the future.

This can be regarded as paving the way for this matter in advance.

Hearing what Chu Huan said, Yasuo Kamakura showed a disappointed expression. As an artist working in the insect production company founded by Osamu Tezuka, Yasuo Kamakura naturally hoped that one day he would be able to create his own original manga.

But now Chu Huan obviously has no idea about this.

Seeing Yasuo Kamakura's expression, Chu Huan understood Yasuo Kamakura's thoughts. Now that he is going to bring Yasuo Kamakura back to Xiangjiang to take charge of his own comic business, Chu Huan still has to draw some necessary pies.

"Don't worry, as long as you come back to Xiangjiang with me and smooth out the company's affairs, you can create the comics you want to create, and there will always be a place for your comics in the company's magazine!"

Sure enough, after hearing what Chu Huan said, the disappointment in Yasuo Kamakura's eyes dissipated a little, but only a little.

After all, compared to Japan, Xiangjiang belongs to the desert of comics. Even if it has its own original comics, how much attention can it attract?

As for this point, Chu Huan didn't plan to solve Yasuo Kamakura anymore, because even if he drew this pie by himself, the other party might not believe it.

"Mr. Chu, please don't worry, I will definitely complete my work well!" Yasuo Kamakura also knows that you can't have both, and because of his mother's illness, he can only accept Chu Huan's suggestion. .

Finally, Chu Huan made the last request, "One more thing, you need to help me find an artist in Japan who is good at drawing fighting, blood, and funny. This artist will be in charge of a brand new manga independently, and this Comics will also become the main comics in our comic magazine."

If it was just to adapt Jin Yong's novel, then Chu Huan had no need to find so many painters in Japan.

Let's put it this way, the comics adapted from Jin Yong's martial arts novels are just to ensure the basic market of his comic magazine in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, and Chu Huan specially prepared the comic, which is the enemy of the comic magazine's expansion.

Chu Huan can provide comic stories and character images, but the only thing he can't provide is drawing skills, so this matter is the most important thing for Chu Huan.

Yasuo Kamakura thought for a while, and said, "There is a candidate, but I have no way to be sure if the other party will go to Xiangjiang with me."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No, I must have such a person. If you can't even complete this task, our cooperation can only be temporarily suspended."

It can be said that Yasuo Kamakura and this artist are equally important to Chu Huan's comic magazine. Although it is impossible for Chu Huan to not cooperate with Yasuo Kamakura because he can't find such a person, but what should be given There is still pressure to give.

Yasuo Kamakura also understands that Chu Huan's temporary suspension is probably because he can't get financial support from Chu Huan, so his mother's illness can't be cured.

Thinking of this, Kamakura Yasuo immediately said: "Mr. Chu, don't worry, I will definitely be able to bring this person there!"

Only then did Chu Huan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Very good, it is good to have this confidence."

Yasuo Kamakura expressed his thanks to Chu Huan again.

The two agreed on a time and place to meet tomorrow, and Chu Huan left the izakaya with his translator, while Yasuo Kamakura wiped his face hard after he walked out of the izakaya.

It was only at this time that he realized that he was actually going to Xiangjiang in the future to be the editor-in-chief of a comic magazine?

He didn't know whether his behavior was a success or a failure, but he knew that he had no way out!

Yasuo Kamakura is reluctant to take a taxi on weekdays, but today he really wants to bring this news home quickly so that his family can share the joy with him.

This is the most common house in Japan, but when Yasuo Kamakura saw that the lights in the house were still on, his heart felt warm for no reason.

Then he walked a few steps back home.

After opening the door, a girl in her mid-twenties who was a few years younger than Yasuo Kamakura opened the door.

After seeing Yasuo Kamakura, the girl said worriedly: "Brother, why are you coming back later than usual today?"

This girl is called Kamakura Mikoto, and she is Kamakura Yasuo's younger sister. She works in a trading company and her work is also very hard.

Kamakura Yasuo happily asked, "Is Mommy asleep?"

Yasuo Kamakura's father died of illness when he was a teenager, leaving only their mother and son. Yasuo Kamakura and Mikoto Kamakura were brought up by their own mother.

"Baby is back?"

Yasuo Kamakura's mother opened the door, her face was pale, and she walked out with faltering steps. She smelled the alcohol on Yasuo Kamakura's body and smiled on her face. She always believed that her illness was a drag on her son and daughter. In order to treat themselves, the two of them worked desperately every day, and in order to save money, they never participated in the company's dinner party.

Naturally, there is no intersection.

But today, she smelled the alcohol on her son, which made her feel that his son might have his own friends.

Yasuo Kamakura excitedly said to his sister: "Hurry up and pack up your mother's clothes, tomorrow we will go to the hospital for surgery on my mother!"

Kamakura Mikoto and their mother were stunned. Didn't expect that the first thing Kamakura Yasuo said when he came back was this matter?

"Brother, what's going on?" Kamakura Mikoto asked excitedly.

Their mother asked worriedly, "Baofu, did you do something bad?"

Kamakura Yasuo hurriedly said: "It's not what you think, it's like this"

Afterwards, Yasuo Kamikura told the two of them about the agreement between himself and Chu Huan.

After the two listened, they were both a little overwhelmed. It happened so suddenly.

In the end, Kamakura Mikoto asked, "Brother, you mean, you promised that Xiangjiang person to go to Xiangjiang to help him manage the manga magazine, and then he would pay for my mother's treatment?"

Yasuo Kamakura nodded happily, and said, "That's right, he has promised me that he will come over and join us tomorrow to send mom to the hospital!"

Yasuo Kamakura's mother had other worries: "But you went so far away from Xiangjiang?"

Yasuo Kamakura comforted: "Mom, you know that I have always wanted to create a manga of my own. In Japan, I never had such an opportunity. Now, Mr. Chu is willing to give me this opportunity and let me help him to create a manga." Manga magazines, and help you cure diseases, I really want to try it!"

Seeing Yasuo Kamakura saying this, his mother still said worriedly: "But where have you been, you are not familiar with the place, what if something happens again?"

Yasuo Kamakura could only continue to appease, and after more than ten minutes, he finally let his mother accept this matter.

Then Yasuo Kamakura said to his sister: "Little sister, I may stay in Xiangjiang for a longer time in the future, and I will leave the mother's affairs to you at home, but don't worry, I have already made an agreement with Mr. Chu Yes, I will wait for my mother to leave the hospital before going to Xiangjiang."

Kamakura Mikoto nodded seriously and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Mom!"

the next day!

Chu Huan arrived at Yasuo Kamakura's house as scheduled. At this time, Yasuo Kamakura had prepared everything. After seeing Yasuo Kamakura, Yasuo's mother thanked Chu Huan again and again, and Chu Huan had no choice but to deal with it.

Afterwards, everyone drove Yasuo Kamakura's mother to the hospital. Seeing that Chu Huan had paid all the hospital expenses, surgery fees, etc., Yasuo Kamakura finally let go of the last trace of worry in his heart.

"Mr. Chu, thank you so much, don't worry, I will help you find the painter you are looking for."

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Okay, now you can accompany your mother in the hospital. In October, I will wait for you in Xiangjiang!"

Yasuo Kamakura has decided to set off for Xiangjiang in October, and his mother should already have a certain ability to act independently at that time.

After leaving the hospital, Chu Huan spent another two days visiting the theaters in Tokyo. Finally, Chu Huan asked the translator he had hired to find a private detective.

In Japan, this kind of profession exists legally, so it will appear in many Japanese comics, TV, and movies.

Among them, the most familiar to domestic audiences is "City Hunter"!

But this kind of profession is not protected by law in China. The only person responsible for investigating cases is the police, not even consultants. This is why the popular "White Night Chasing Murder" has no sequel. The sequel It is true that the filming is finished, but there is definitely no way to release it.

Unless domestic policy changes.

So those viewers who are still waiting, can give up this idea.

After finding a private detective, Chu Huan gave a few names. This is a long-term task. If you find one, you will be paid once. These names are not unfamiliar to everyone. For example, Takehiko Inoue is one of them.

There is no way around this. Chu Huan only knows what kind of cartoons these people drew, but he doesn't know their personal situation. What if there are Xiaodouding's among them?

Then there is no way to draw comics at all, and reading comics is almost the same.

So look for it first, if you find it, if you are in the comics industry, then find a way to get it to Xiangjiang, if you are not there, then slowly observe.

In the end, if you can't get to Xiangjiang, it doesn't matter, at worst, take out their comics in advance, even if you don't remember the story, you can do a magic change, at worst, don't play it!

This is Chu Huan's idea. If I can't get it, no one else can get it.

After doing all this, Chu Huan finally decided to return to Xiangjiang.

However, before leaving Tokyo, Chu Huan met Osamu Tezuka alone.

"Yakuo Kamakura has already handed in his resignation letter. I didn't expect Mr. Chu to fall in love with him in the end!" Osamu Tezuka spoke to Chu Huan bluntly.

Chu Huan said indifferently: "I can't help it. The people under Mr. Tezuka are very famous in the Japanese animation industry. I want them to follow me to Xiangjiang and they are not willing!"

Osamu Tezuka nodded. As I said before, he didn't care about Chu Huan's poaching. After all, most of the people who worked on Chu Huan had already been booked by other studios.

Now there is just one more Yasuo Kamakura.

Moreover, Yasuo Kamakura went to Xiangjiang, and in Tezuka Osamu's view, it was even more impossible to pose a threat to himself.

"Actually, the level of animation in your country is very high. Why doesn't Mr. Chu look for it in your country?" Osamu Tezuka asked with some doubts.

This is not Osamu Tezuka saying polite words, but really thinking so. In a few years, when the domestic situation stabilizes, Osamu Tezuka will go on a pilgrimage to the country.

Chu Huan did not give a real explanation, but just found a reason and said: "My magazine is a start-up, and I pay more attention to the commercial market."

Osamu Tezuka didn't doubt Chu Huan's answer either. After all, Japan and North America are the most successful companies in the animation industry.

After a brief exchange, the two got up and said goodbye.

In the end, Chu Huan went to the hospital again, visited Yasuo Kamikura's mother, and decided to return to Xiangjiang.

When Chu Huan returned to Xiangjiang, it was already the end of August. This trip to Japan went smoothly, which made Chu Huan a little unbelievable, but at the same time, it also made Chu Huan a little confused.

Obviously, he had asked Fang Jianhui to disclose his coming to Japan, so why didn't Chu Tianxiao take any action?

Not today, thank you~
