Reborn Tycoon Rise

"Then I'll make arrangements now." Wang Liming agreed with a smile.

Xu Zhi said: "Go to Ma Shimin to discuss and ask him to decide the location of the Tin Shui Wai Pier as soon as possible. Once determined, we can prepare to build the first phase of the Pier. At the same time, I will also prepare to build internal roads using the Pier as a fulcrum."

"Okay, I understand." Wang Liming nodded in agreement.

…

The Tian Shui Wai incident is over. Because of the impending real estate crisis, several major companies in Xiangjiang have begun to withdraw from various projects and withdraw funds. Overseas, the Japanese market has given back better news.

The time has arrived, Sunday, April 4th.

In the 1980s, Japanese schools implemented a six-day class system, and most students only had Sunday off.

Many people will sleep in at home for a while, but some people will come out earlier and go to the entrance of major bookstores to wait for the latest issue of the weekly comic book.

Japanese comics are mostly weekly, bi-weekly and monthly. However, because the group is mostly young people who go to school or work, in order to cater to customers' time, many weekly magazines are first published on Sundays.

In front of a Kadokawa bookstore in the suburbs of Yokohama, a group of young people with unbearable itch are queuing up and waiting for the bookstore to open. They are all loyal fans of the bookstore's new book "Weekly Shōnen Magic". Outside of Yokohama, countless Japanese The same thing is happening in the city.

"Weekly Shōnen Magic" is the name chosen by Kadokawa Shoten for the new comic weekly. It is in line with the naming culture of Japanese local brands. The Japanese worship the strong, while in Western countries, some English-speaking countries are generally very powerful.

However, due to the nature of the Japanese language itself, Japanese people will encounter severe "native language influence" when learning English, and it is also difficult to learn English. Therefore, most Japanese people admire people who speak English smoothly, and many Japanese companies and In order to cater to the market, brands also play this kind of name game.

The same is true for the comics industry. For example, the giants that have dominated the Japanese comics industry for decades have their most famous comics: "Zhou Shaojun Jump", "Zhou Shaojun Champion", and "Zhou Shaojun Sunday". The same is true for Kadokawa Shoten's "Zhou Shonen Magic".

When the time reached 8 o'clock, the door of the bookstore opened, and a group of young people crowded in. They rushed directly to the innermost bookshelf and took away the "Zhou Shaojun Magic" on it.

"It's 300 yen per copy. Everyone lines up to pay." The bookstore owner Kato Takashi shouted loudly. This price is already expensive among comics, but it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of countless comic puzzles to buy.

The original Kadokawa Shoten did not have its own comic weekly. For more than ten years, its main products have been magazines from various other comic companies. When business was not good, it often sold some ordinary student books or stationery.

But a few months ago, the entire Kadokawa Bookstore was acquired. After learning the news, Kato Taka was very anxious, fearing that something would go wrong with his work.

However, after waiting for a few weeks, news came from above that all branches need to operate as before, and there will be no personnel changes. The only thing is that the company is about to launch its own comic weekly.

Kato Takashi was relieved. This kind of thing is actually not a big deal. The requirements for entering the comic production industry are not high. If you have some spare money and a few people who can draw, you can draw some stories.

It just depends on the level of quality and sales. With the system of Kadokawa Bookstore, it is considered a medium-sized bookstore chain in Japan. Since it has been acquired, there is no shortage of funds, and it is normal to enter the comics industry.

But to his surprise at the bookstore, this comic weekly called "Zhou Shaojun Magic" actually became popular!

The magic series has a total of 4 stories. The first one is "Crayon Shin-chan", which has been broadcast repeatedly on major Japanese TV stations recently. This comic was originally sold by Akita Bookstore, but I don't know what methods the people above used , actually able to poach the opponent's corner.

The second part is called "Transformers". The main story background is not on the earth, but on a planet called "Cybertron" in the distant universe. The life on it is not carbon-based creatures like humans, but... Silicon-based life forms, including one kind of metal life form, gave birth to civilization. After countless years of evolution, they formed the righteous Autobots and the evil Decepticons.

Japan has long had a manga based on robots, "Mobile Suit Gundam", so Japanese manga fans are no stranger to mechas, but "Transformers" introduces the origin of "robots" in detail, plus The huge cosmic background, dreamlike transformations, and ostentatious attack methods attracted countless comic mysteries in the early stages.

The third story is called "Dragon Ball". When I saw the name, I didn't know the specific content. However, after carefully reading the first issue of the weekly magazine, I saw the familiar name "Sun Wukong" in it. Everyone understood that this was the same as Journey to the West. related.

Japan's ancestral culture comes from its Western neighbors. China's Four Great Classics have had a great influence on the entire Japanese culture, especially the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is said that during World War II, many Japanese army officers had the mandatory task of familiarizing themselves with the art of war.

Journey to the West is a mythical story, and its influence in Japanese culture was originally not very great. However, two years ago, Japan International Screening Production Company started filming the magically modified version of "Journey to the West", which has achieved great success in the entire Japanese market. Even after the TV series was spread to the United Kingdom and Australia, it gained many Western fans.

Many young people in Japan yearn for superpowers and mythical abilities. Naturally, they yearn for the world of Journey to the West where they can become immortals and Buddhas. When I saw the comics with the background of Journey to the West, I naturally started to pay attention to them.

Of course, because the background of Dragon Ball is modern, it has also been dissatisfied by many "black fans", but in an era without the Internet, these people have no choice but to express themselves.

The last one is a comic called "Pokémon". From this comic, people learned for the first time that in a "imaginary" world, there is a kind of creature called Pokémon. Different, each has its own super power, such as electric discharge, water spitting, fire breathing, attack bonus, special physical attack, etc.

Many people are attracted by the plot when they encounter this kind of story for the first time, especially some children. Everyone hopes that they can go to that magical world and have their own Pokémon.

Judging from Kato Taka's experience as a comic book store owner for more than ten years, these stories are very attractive, but in the past few weeks, the number of people coming to buy comics has increased exponentially, which still surprises him. unexpected.
