My daily life with the Shiina sisters

Listening to her continuous narration, although Imagawa Kaede did not quite understand the specific operations of this type of cultural publishing company, he had a general understanding of the current situation of Fujimi Shobo. Generally speaking, there were some problems but they were not big, and the performance was much better than last year.

Through the intensive study during this period, Imagawa Kaede has learned a lot about the development models of such companies, which are actually similar to celebrity agencies or internet celebrity incubations.

The only difference is that the stars or internet celebrities here are replaced by authors and works, and the editor is like an agent and talent teacher, helping you revise your text, promote it, and strive for resources.

The emergence of a hit work means that the editor has been successful. Imagawa Kaede's "Magic Index" and "Yu-Gi-Oh" have both been performing quite well recently, so Fujimi Shobo's performance will naturally be better.

This is just like when Ken-On first started, it had few people under its command, but with the presence of Nakabuka Akina, it made a lot of money. (Of course, Ken-On also has a corresponding consortium behind it to provide resources, after all, it is an island country.)

Of course, if Yan Yin hadn’t been exploited by that scumbag, she would have earned even more.

Although Imagawa Kaede learned a lot of knowledge, he still insisted on the approach of "governing a big country like cooking a small fish".

These are also the reasons why Imagawa Kaede chose to start with light novels and comics. To put it bluntly, as long as he has works, he can make his company develop rapidly.

He actually doesn't have much knowledge. The only thing he is familiar with is design-related knowledge. But this was okay in his original company. Here, there will be people who know more about design than him, not less.

What's more, if he wants to take over the Imagawa family in the future, it would be better for him to learn some management knowledge and become familiar with the ways of playing and rules in different circles than to do anything else.

As for the idea of ​​having a Nobel Prize in traditional literature, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, but the problem is that he himself is not suitable for being in the spotlight. Moreover, for a playboy, especially a young playboy, to be in the traditional literary world with Edogawa Ranpo's mystery today, Nebula's science fiction tomorrow, the Naoki Prize the day after tomorrow, and the Akutagawa Prize the day after tomorrow, do you think it is credible?

Instead of letting others smile on the surface and talk about the Imagawa family putting on a show and deifying themselves behind their backs, it is better to choose something that is more profitable and can drive the development of an industry.

Traditional literature is noble and elegant, just like when you compare acting in a play or making a movie or TV series, who makes more money and whose industry is bigger?

For most people, it is rare to watch two plays a year, but what about movies and TV series? In other words, apart from the traditional literature that must be read for study, how many traditional literature books have most people read? Or how many people would talk about other works in Lu Xun's "New Stories" besides "Li Shui", "Mending the Sky" and "Mei Jian Chi" that have been tested? Who would talk about Haruki Murakami's debut work "Hear the Wind Sing"?

Most people just usually praise "Norwegian Wood". If they get a little deeper, they may even confuse Kafka, the author of "Kafka on the Shore" and "The Metamorphosis". Ah, The Metamorphosis, isn't "The Metamorphosis" a really good show?

If Imagawa Kaede were an ordinary person, he would start in fourth gear without saying anything and would be willing to win a Nobel Prize. After all, he has a high status and can become famous and gain social status. But in reality, he cannot show his face in public and others will not believe him. As for social status, although it sounds a bit materialistic, his social status is really very high.

If he looks at other industries, he doesn’t understand them either. If there is an “oil tyrant” in the system similar to the one in Lost in Thailand, he will start working on chemistry right from today. There is no other way. If there is such a thing, it will be a historic breakthrough in the energy industry, and he will definitely make a lot of money.

After all, he didn't quite understand the main industry of the Imagawa family. It was enough for him to be able to manage it, and leave the rest to his subordinates.

If they wanted to do something outstanding in a short period of time, they would either have to go into finance or develop an industry that the Imagawa family did not pay much attention to.

As for finance, he could lose money even when buying funds in his previous life, so how could you let him work in finance? Moreover, the world has changed. Although he remembered a few good opportunities to make money, it is still unknown whether they are applicable here. Besides, if you want to invest, the Imagawa family has to give him money.

Ask yourself, if a playboy asked you one day to give him money directly so that he could engage in financial investment, would you pay attention to him?

What’s the difference between this and when you were in high school and you held your guitar and told your dad, “I don’t want to go to school anymore, I want to play rock music.”

But buying a small company is a little different. Similarly, you ask your dad for a few hundred dollars during the summer vacation to batch some popsicles and sell them at the nearby basketball court.

Your dad will probably agree to it, after all, it is reasonable and has some benefits, and even if you don't sell it, you can just keep it in your refrigerator or give some to your neighbors. Besides, a few hundred yuan for a workout is not a lot of money, so your dad will probably agree. (The premise is that you don't spend the few hundred yuan.)

As a thoughtful and relatively mature adult, Imagawa Kaede would naturally think of these things. He cannot make a splash on his own, especially in an island country where classes are very rigid. If he were an ordinary person and failed to catch up with the trend of the times, he would naturally be laid low. Otherwise, if he develops a company, it will most likely be swallowed up by some large companies in the end.

Besides, comic-adapted movies are already common in places like the island country. In the future, Imagawa Kaede can also make further in-depth layout of the entire island country's entertainment industry through animation and comic-adapted movies.

By then, it will not be the small-scale operations it is now. It will be like Mr. Wang of BYD. He originally came from a technical background, but he also has management skills. But how deeply do you think he will be involved in the specific research and development now?

The same goes for Imagawa Kaede. Entertainment is just a stepping stone for him. He will naturally let it go and hand it over to the people below him in the future. After all, there are such a large number of failed authors, so there will always be a few top authors, right?

At that time, we can directly obtain the copyright and then use a set of industrial processes to squeeze out all the value of the work. As for who will get the lion's share of the profits, there should be no need to say more, right?

"Mr. Special Manager?"

Just when Imagawa Kaede was thinking about which X that only appears once in a thousand years he would like to dive into in the future..., Machida Yuanko beside him gently pushed him.

"Oh, I was just thinking about how many different poses I was going to put Miss Editor in Chief in tonight, and I got distracted accidentally. I'm so sorry."

"Hehe, maybe you're thinking about some pretty young girl again? Unlike an old woman like me, I'll be distracted if I sit next to you."

"You should go to sleep first. I will try to take care of the rest by myself. I'll be able to do it in the evening when you've rested well."

Machida Sonoko was already used to his jokes, but she smiled with some annoyance and said:

"Forget it. There's another author coming over later. We've already made an appointment."

Upon hearing this, Imagawa Kaede waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, I'll call you when the time comes. If someone else comes, I'll say I asked you to go out and do something. Why are you so dedicated, you stinky worker?"

"Isn't that making money for the Chief Secretary? Only when the Chief Secretary has money can he support me."

"Goodbye, your executive manager has nothing but money besides his looks and talent. He can support a thousand or eight hundred of you. If you have any sisters or something like that, you can introduce them to us."

"My younger sister doesn't have one, but my older sister does have one. She's been married for three years and is a married woman."

"Look at her, she got married three years ago, and then look at you."

"Aren't you waiting for the chief steward? Hehe, you can eat tender grass and don't have to serve you food and drink every day. How nice it is."

"Then I will go to your house every day and ask you to cook for me, and even wash my stinky socks."

"It's a promise that you can't ask for more."

Hearing this, Imagawa Kaede rubbed his eyebrows and said as he looked at the data on the A4 paper:

"Okay, you have enough time to chat with me here. It's enough for you to take a nap. Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Machida Yuanzi quickly said, "Okay." She turned around and went into the small bedroom next to her. However, within five minutes, the door was pushed open again, and a head popped out from behind the door and said:

"If you are tired, you can come in. I sleep naked." Seeing that Imagawa Kaede looked a little strange, he quickly changed the topic:

"By the way, the author we booked before is a beautiful lady. If possible, Mr. Bai Zhou, you can help give her some guidance."

As she said this, she threw a coquettish glance, as if she was expecting Imagawa Kaede to come in.

PS: It is true that you can try making popsicles and things like that, and summer jobs are also very good, but be careful not to be cheated. If you are not short of money and have other opportunities, try not to go to the assembly line jobs. Try to work in jobs that allow you to interact with others. After all, schools nowadays are basically closed. Some more experience in interpersonal communication will be of help to you in college and even in future work.

Jun also worked as a summer intern a long time ago. At that time, even if there was no work, the manager would not let you sit idle. When it came time to settle your salary, he would insist on deducting the 50 yuan. If you didn't say anything, he would keep it for himself. When you said something, he initially said that he didn't have any, but in the end he gave it to you after some negotiation.

Of course, some bosses are good and some are bad, it all depends on luck.

Summer jobs for students are really too cheap, especially serving dishes in restaurants. I think it is better to start a small business so that you can practice talking to others. And most people play basketball in the evening when it is cool, so they can sleep in in the morning.

Basically, it is easy to find a good place to earn a hundred yuan a day, and the people who come to play basketball are all students, they are nice and don't haggle, and they will come back the next day if you give them a few. Students are really nice people.

But for some courts that have people in charge, you need to communicate with them first. Don't be silly and just buy a pack of cigarettes. Say something nice, pass two popsicles, give a bottle of water, etc. The men will basically turn a blind eye. Don't think that "being good at dealing with things" means smoking and drinking.

The middle part about industry is because many people are tired of the light novels and comics that directly show off their power in front of people. It is also my fault that I did not make it clear at the beginning. But it is a bit strange that the young master suddenly started to engage in industry. In short, readers are right, I did not control the details well.

Some people think that Imagawa Kaede's head is full of pornographic garbage. In fact, this is also my idea. After all, Imagawa Kaede is relatively young now, with hormones and so on. In addition, most people think about women at the beginning, then make money, and then fame, power, status and so on.

Anyway, Imagawa Kaede will change in the future. I want to try my best to write about the life of an ordinary person after traveling through time. Just like when ordinary people become rich, most of them want to keep their wealth to themselves or enjoy themselves in various ways.

Imagawa Kaede is currently in the stage of gradually adapting to his identity as a young master.

But I am not a wealthy man, so Imagawa Kaede may not be living a realistic life of a rich young master. His thinking is also very ordinary and he can't do anything fancy. As for his lust and moral level, maybe I put too much effort into it and wrote it a little low, but I have also made up for it. He is not a good person.

Finally, good night everyone, there is really not a drop left.
