Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?

As a veteran who spent the New Year in the workplace in his previous life, Oda Shingo naturally understood the conspiracy of the old president.

Most of the people present looked at the old president with understanding expressions worthy of an old guy.

Not letting the young cartoonist leave would be pulling him into line.

Young people will understand that if the old president recommends him to be included in the official magazine, he will keep it in mind if other people are meaningful.

Naturally, the first person to express dissent should be the vice president.

"Cough." Vice President Xiaoshan coughed slightly, but did not speak.

Logically speaking, his direct general Hyakki Hayato has been suspended due to conflicts with Oda Shingo. Then he must stand up for his subordinates and should express opinions that he disagrees with.

But this directly pushed Oda Shingo to the other party, and the path to reconciliation was almost cut off from now on.

"Let me tell you something." A director understood Xiaoshan's hint. It was not convenient for the vice president to speak directly so that the matter could be mediated.

The director glanced at Oda Shingo, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "The official issue of "Jump" has always been for all ages. If "Parasite" starts to be serialized, I am afraid it will cause the Education Committee and the Criticism from the Parent-Teacher Association.”

"Yeah, that makes sense." Many people nodded.

Oda Shingo watched quietly, knowing in his heart that the old president's status was really miserable.

A similar situation happened in another world. In a well-known comic book club, due to personnel changes and changes in equity of the headquarters consortium, the original president was replaced.

This situation even happened more than once, and it happened to two of the three giants in the comic industry! Although the president of one of the companies used good means to suppress it in time, capital games are indeed common.

Now there are similar signs in Qunyingshe.

Changes in capital have always been the most direct reason for the change of power at the top of large corporations. The party that controls the equity naturally does not want the actual management rights to remain in the hands of the original equity forces.

He happened to catch up with this period of change, and became the main point of contention between the two sides.

Oda Shingo even imagined that if the manuscript of "One Punch Man" had been accepted by this magazine, he might have been on Hyakki Hayato's side.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with justice, but only with interests. Those who claim that only good people can be partners are the thoughts of children.

"I think "Parasite" is a very good work, which can be seen in the online results of the web department." Saburo Mikami talked about the number of collections and completion data.

The astonishing digital performance makes it clear to everyone that this is definitely a hit comic.

Saburo Mikami struck while the iron was hot: "Our group, Qunyingsha, has not published a hit comic for more than a year. Are you just willing to..."

"Oh! What do you mean? Is this implying that our other departments are not working hard?" The director of the operations department suddenly interrupted.

Immediately, Mikami Saburo was besieged with words.

The parties argued.

Although the old president and Mikami Saburo were at a disadvantage, it was difficult to draw a conclusion at the moment.

But the old president suddenly said something, which immediately silenced the scene.

"Vice President Koyama, if "Parasite" may be suspected of crossing the line, then if there is someone you can trust to control it..."

Benefit exchange!

The smart people present immediately understood what the old president meant!

The person he can trust is, of course, the suspended head of the magazine's department, Hayato Hyakki.

The meaning of the old president's words was to allow Hayaki Hayato to resume his post on the condition that "Parasite Beast" be serialized!

Many people nodded slightly, thinking that this might not be a win-win operation.

In fact, it is not unacceptable for "Parasite Beast" to be serialized in this magazine. As long as he can get enough benefits, such as the conclusion of the Hyakki Hayato incident, he can return to his position.

Even Vice President Xiaoshan's eyes lit up after hearing this and he looked at the old president.

The eyes of the two parties met, and they didn't speak to each other for a long time.

Vice President Koyama said a few words meaningfully: "President Fukada is far-sighted."

Obviously, Vice President Xiaoshan was very moved.

It is very difficult for Nippon Co., Ltd. to reinstate someone after suspending them, especially in such a shady situation.

Although it is unlikely that the old president will fire Hyakki Hayato directly, it is completely logical to transfer him to another department.

Even with Vice President Koyama's many activities, Hyakuki Hayabusa's reinstatement will only take half a year at the earliest. This is also the routine for handling shady public opinion incidents in Japan.

Several directors even exchanged

The old president proposed this condition for exchange of benefits, and even Saburo Mikami greatly agreed. He even nodded vigorously to Oda Shingo excitedly.

Acceptable!

But Oda Shingo narrowed his eyes.

trade?

Use my work as a weight in exchange for the interests of both parties?

His eyes scanned the whole place.

The expressions of these middle and high-level officials all softened, and they no longer looked like they were blushing and thick-necked just now.

Everyone is happy and it seems like a mutually satisfactory deal is about to be reached!

A transaction that puts the efforts of comic writers on the scale of capital!

I didn’t even ask the comic author whether he would answer or not!

Oda Shingo can even imagine:

The old president would say to himself sincerely afterwards: "This is a compromise of last resort." The game of capital lies in the trade-off and exchange of interests. ]

Saburo Mikami would say to himself very excitedly: [This is a precious serialization opportunity that the old president helped you get! Come on, you must cherish this opportunity! ]

In Oda Shingo's mind, even the image of Namikaze Yukaku writing at the desk and Fujido Kaoru working hard in front of the computer emerged.

How many cartoonists are used as bargaining chips in this kind of interest exchange between the middle and high-level of the comics company, and are arranged and even slaughtered by others? !

Cartoonists are workers, and they have the least say in front of capital?

Is this an acceptable deal?

They didn't even ask me, the most direct party? The party who worked hard to draw comics?

"Please wait a moment!" Oda Shingo suddenly said loudly.

The powerful words interrupted the development trend that everyone was about to nod and express their opinions.

Everyone looked at Oda Shingo in surprise.

"I'm sorry, I want to ask a question." Oda Shingo did not bow, but just nodded slightly.

"You have been discussing the serialization of Parasyte in this magazine. At first, everyone held their own opinions and argued non-stop..."

"Then there was a constructive proposal, and everyone felt that it seemed to be in line with the exchange of interests between the two sides..."

"I am afraid that in a few seconds, we will shake hands and reach an agreement happily..."

Seeing Oda Shingo talking non-stop like a machine gun, Mikami Saburo felt bad in his heart. He knew Oda Shingo's temper and quickly winked at him.

But Oda Shingo seemed to have seen nothing, and asked slowly but forcefully:

"You are talking so excitedly, why... No one asked me if I agree?!"
