Reborn Tycoon Rise

Xu Zhidao: "I guess it will be ready in another month. By the way, how is the application for our new weekly?"

In Japan, applying for the publication of a weekly magazine requires a lot of government procedures, and Ichiro Takizawa is responsible for all of this.

Takizawa Ichiro replied: "The procedures have been completed, but the name of this weekly magazine needs to be chosen by the chairman himself?"

"Name?" Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Then let's call him Weekly Shonen Magic!"

"Weekly Shonen Magic, okay, then I will apply for this name." Ichiro Takizawa nodded and said. In Japan, the names of comic weekly magazines all start with the three characters "Weekly Shonen". For example, Weekly Shonen Sunday is the number one in Shogakukan. Weekly Comics and Weekly Shonen Jump are comics published by Shueisha, currently ranked number one in Japan.

Before, he was most worried that the chairman would give him a Chinese name, which would easily arouse the rejection of many Japanese teenagers.

Xu Zhi continued: "Since the weekly magazine will be approved soon, next week, I will arrange for my colleagues in Xiangjiang to bring you the characters in these comics. You must be prepared for early publicity.

In terms of funds, I will allocate another 5 billion yen to you. Part of it will be used to continue to open branches, and the other part will be used to promote bookstores and comic weekly magazines. This first comic weekly magazine must be an instant hit. "

"Thank you, Chairman. I will not disappoint you." Ichiro Takizawa quickly bowed and thanked, 5 billion yen, which is nothing in front of some large companies in Japan, but in the bookstore and comic industry, it is already a very large sum. A large sum of money.

With such a large amount of capital, the company will surely be able to expand more quickly.

"As long as you do things well, I won't treat you badly in the future." Xu Zhi smiled and drew a big pie. 5 billion yen is only 20 million US dollars. This kind of investment is actually a drop in the bucket compared to the income that can be obtained from future comics. , not to mention that many of them will invest in physical properties. Even if the comics are not completed, these stores can make several times the profit by the late 1980s.

"Thank you, Chairman." Takizawa Ichiro bowed again and asked: "Chairman, I wonder if the Japanese branch is responsible for the weekly printing business?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "This area will be taken care of by the Xiangjiang headquarters in the future. We will build a large printing factory in Xiangjiang, and this factory will be responsible for all publishing and printing business.

However, in the early stages of comic release, the printing house in Japan still needs to be responsible, and you are also responsible for this. "

As early as the middle of last year, after acquiring Weicheng Company and acquiring the land in Tin Shui Wai, Xu Zhi began to arrange for several of his companies with higher profit margins to build factories in Tin Shui Wai, thereby stimulating the local economy and making preparations for the construction of new towns. Be prepared.

Comics are one of them. In the middle of last year, the printing plant was put into construction and the equipment was purchased from Germany. The factory has been built and the equipment is being debugged. However, full production still needs a buffer period.

"Okay, I understand." Takizawa Ichiro was quite disappointed. Many Japanese comic weekly magazines are published in Japan. In a capitalist society, the more people can be controlled in their employment, the greater their influence will be. Big, as an ambitious person, he naturally hopes that the scale of his company will be as large as possible.

Xu Zhi continued: "Is there another thing you need to do?"

"Chairman, please speak." Takizawa Ichiro said.

Xu Zhi said: “Although I have my own comics team in Xiangjiang, I hope that Kadokawa Shoten will also have its own independent comics force.

Japan has a large number of comic talents. You can open a separate comic studio under Kadokawa Shoten to attract Japanese talents in this area, or directly acquire other studios. After forming this team, you can also cooperate with the employees at the Xiangjiang headquarters Learning from each other. "

"No problem, I will definitely do my best to complete this matter." Takizawa Ichiro promised.

"Okay, let's do this for now. I have an important guest to meet this afternoon. You can go with me." Xu Zhi nodded and said.

Takizawa Ichiro nodded and said: "Yes, Chairman."

…

Tokyo Imperial Hotel.

Xu Zhi and Takizawa Ichiro were led by the waiter into a private room on the top floor.

As soon as he entered the room, Ichiro Takizawa saw the guests sitting across the wine table and suddenly exclaimed: "Mr. Matsushita!"

"Hello, Mr. Matsushita." Xu Zhi smiled and walked over, shaking hands and greeting. The person who made the appointment was none other than Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of the Panasonic Group and the god of Japanese management.

"Hello, Mr. Matsushita." Takizawa Ichiro said with a slightly excited bow.

"You two, please take a seat." Konosuke Matsushita greeted with a smile: "The steak here is very famous. If you are interested, you can try it. I highly recommend it."

"Okay, let's have a steak, medium rare, with black pepper sauce." Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Konosuke Matsushita's hair was all gray, but he still looked energetic. He poured Xu Zhi a cup of tea himself and said with a smile: "When I was young, I liked to come here and order a steak alone and watch the singers dance. It’s a pity that I’m old now and can’t eat much steak, otherwise my stomach won’t be able to bear it.”

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Mr. Matsushita, you are still going strong. I admire you very much for still working for the company. If it were me, I would have retired and enjoyed a happy life."

Konosuke Matsushita is 87 years old this year. He resigned from the position of chairman of the company ten years ago. However, this only jumped from the stage to behind the scenes. He is still the controller of the largest electronics empire of the Matsushita Group. At most, due to his health Because of this, he will not participate in too many details of the company's development, but the strategic planning is still decided by him.

Panasonic Group and Midea Electronics did not have much overlap in terms of business. Xu Zhi came to Tokyo this time just to deal with the Kadokawa Bookstore matter, but he unexpectedly received an invitation from Matsushita Konosuke.

Konosuke Matsushita shook his head and said with a smile: "I have worked hard all my life to achieve this achievement. I admire Mr. Xu very much for seizing the opportunity of the development of the times and being able to develop to this point with just one game. In my past It was unimaginable at that time.”

"Every era has different opportunities. With the development of science and technology and economic globalization, maybe people in the future can create a group larger than Panasonic and Midea as long as they seize an opportunity." Xu Zhi smiled and said.

"That's right. Apple, for example, started in a garage and has grown to be worth billions of dollars in just a few years. This makes me, an old man, completely baffled. I understand the prospects of the personal computer market, but I don't understand why Apple can We have achieved such results now!" Matsushita Konosuke laughed.

"The current capital market is not based on the company's profit, but on the company's future. Many companies are losing money every year, but their stocks can keep rising. This is the reason." Xu Zhi replied with a smile, although it has not yet arrived In the Internet era, venture capital in this era has already taken shape. This is actually one of the important reasons why Silicon Valley in the United States has been able to develop.

Matsushita Konosuke nodded and said: "I actually know this, I just think it's incredible."

Xu Zhidao: "Then I wonder what Mr. Matsushita's advice would be if he invited me here today?"

Konosuke Matsushita said: "I heard that Mr. Xu has some misunderstandings with Sony?"

"Mr. Panasonic is not here to mediate, is he?" Xu Zhi said with a smile. The conflict between Midea and Sony is now known to the entire global electronics industry. Sony has invested huge sums of money to enter the gaming field, and competes with Midea and Atari. Competition in the market is in full swing, and Midea's profits in the gaming field have also dropped a lot.

Konosuke Matsushita smiled and said: "Of course not, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I hope Panasonic and Midea can cooperate and develop together in many aspects!"
