After the dinner, two groups of people took the car they took when they came at the hotel.
Cui Xingzhong sat in the driver's seat, "Rongcheng, how are you thinking about it? Do you want to join Mr. Fang's company?"
Ma Rongcheng put on his seat belt, "What do you think?"
"Whether in terms of treatment or position, Mr. Fang obviously valued us very much, and he definitely came with sincerity!"
Cui Xingzhong said seriously in a tone.
"I can see this too, otherwise I wouldn't have talked to Mr. Fang for so long."
Ma Rongcheng smiled, "Even in front of Mr. Huang, I have never been so honest."
"Even if he is honest with Mr. Huang, he will never give such generous conditions as Mr. Fang."
Cui Xingzhong carefully compared the contract renewal issued by Huang Yulang and the contract terms mentioned in the dialect.
"The most important thing is the system. Mr. Fang's company draws on the management model of Japanese comic giants like Shueisha. I like this very much. I have had enough of the producers in the company. They often interfere in our creations and are always wary of whether we will change jobs."
Ma Rongcheng curled his lips.
"Indeed, I think Mr. Fang's publishing company will be more promising in the future than our current company."
Cui Xingzhong drove and said, "Especially Mr. Fang took charge of the command, and the theme of 'fantasy cultivation' he mentioned."
"I can feel that the theme of 'Fantasy Cultivation' is very marketable from the words of Mr. Fang and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Pan."
Ma Rongcheng said: "Even if we don't join Mr. Fang's company, Mr. Fang will definitely make a big contribution in the comics field!"
Cui Xingzhong agreed very much. Compared with Yulang International, which saw a sharp drop in stock prices and internal chaos, the dialect publishing company is like a rising star in the Hong Kong comics market, but after all, he is just Ma Rongcheng's assistant and broker. Whether to join or not will be decided by Ma Rongcheng.
"If Mr. Fang hadn't made this happen, I originally planned to talk to Mr. Huang again."
Ma Rongcheng sighed.
"I thought you would say you were alone."
Cui Xingzhong said half-jokingly.
"I have thought about starting a business and working alone, but just like what I said to Mr. Fang, I am a person with ability and experience in painting, but in publishing and distribution, I am just an inexperienced novices. Without the guidance of my peers, I will easily fall."
Ma Rongcheng said: "Mr. Fang and others are the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of Sanlian Bookstore, and have rich connections and publishing experience."
Cui Xingzhong thought carefully, "What you said is not unreasonable."
"Besides, after getting along for so many years, no matter what, we still have some feelings between Mr. Huang."
Ma Rongcheng recalled the ridiculous things Huang Yulang did after the company went public, and his face was very helpless.
Cui Xingzhong said worriedly: "What if Mr. Huang re-introduces old things next and asks you to renew your visa?"
"It depends on whether Mr. Huang is willing to make changes."
Ma Rongcheng's eyes gradually became firmer, "As the saying goes, people's hearts are changed. Mr. Fang respects me so much, and I cannot let him down."
…………………
The next day, Yulang International Company.
As if Ma Rongcheng had never seen a dialect last night, he went to work at the Harbour Center building where the company was located as usual.
However, before he arrived at the office, he was stopped by Huang Yulang's secretary and informed him that Huang Yulang hoped to see him immediately.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong."
Hearing the knock on the door, Huang Yulang shouted "Please come in" and continued to call.
Ma Rongcheng has long been accustomed to it. Since Huang Yulang became a sensational figure in the Xiangjiang comics industry, he has been plagued by scandals. Recently, he was exposed by gossip media and was dating "Li Zi", a female artist in her 20s, who is almost in her 20s. She is simply an old cow who eats young grass.
Sitting quietly on the sofa, patiently waiting for Huang Yulang and Li Zi to finish the phone call.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Huang Yulang blurted out, "Rongcheng, how are you thinking?"
Ma Rongcheng pretended to be confused and said, "What are you considering?" "Of course it's a contract."
Huang Yulang said dissatisfiedly: "I sent someone to find you twice, but they were all blocked by your assistant."
"Mr. Huang, there is more than a year before my contract expires. There is no need to start discussing renewal so early, right?"
Ma Rongcheng frowned.
"It won't work sooner, you know that the company's operations are in crisis now, and many shareholders ask me questions at the board of directors."
Huang Yulang said in a miserable manner: "I promise them that they will find ways to find good news during this period to boost stock prices and morale."
Ma Rongcheng said without changing his face: "So that's the case, but my contract renewal should not be considered good news, right?"
"But it's not bad news!"
Huang Yulang raised his voice, "We have been working together for a long time, so we will not hide it."
While speaking, he took out a contract that had been prepared from the drawer, "Rongcheng, you have been reluctant to renew the contract. Is it because you are not satisfied with this agreement? If you are not satisfied, you should directly ask. If you are not satisfied with the place, you should sit down and have a good talk."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"I'm really not satisfied with it."
Ma Rongcheng said with a serious face.
"Is it salary?"
Huang Yulang said that the company is currently facing a dual crisis of stock price and operation, so the annual salary he can only be given to increase to HK$6.25 million at most.
Ma Rongcheng did not argue, but instead focused on the harsh conditions involving annual salary:
"The contract says that I want to draw a comic that is not inferior to "Heroes of China". If the sales volume does not meet the standards, I will not be able to get the full amount of HK$6.25 million. And it will also deduct a part of it from my annual salary depending on the amount of sales reduced!"
"Rongcheng, I hope you can understand the difficulties of my company..."
Huang Yulang looked earnest.
"Then let's not mention this for now. Let's talk about the company's production process."
Ma Rongcheng said that whether the main writer accepts the producer and others participate in his work should depend on the main writer's wishes.
Listening to his dissatisfaction with the supervision system, Huang Yulang forced a smile:
"Since you are so disgusted, why not do this? How about adjusting it when I discuss a more appropriate plan with the management?"
"In other words, this kind of supervision system will only change after I renew my contract, right?"
Ma Rongcheng said straightforwardly.
Huang Yulang's mouth twitched, and after all, he persuaded the company's stock price to still be on the decline. The most important thing now is stability. Any institutional change can easily cause panic among investors and investors, thereby triggering a sell-off and putting the company in a precarious situation.
Ma Rongcheng refused, "If this is the case, then I'd better wait until the day of change before discussing the contract renewal with Mr. Huang."
"Rongcheng, I don't know why you resist the production supervision so much?"
Huang Yulang spread his hands.
"Because they interfered in my creation!"
Ma Rongcheng didn't even think about it, "I hope that my comics can also have other aspects of value in addition to commercial value."
"What value? Could it be artistic value?"
Huang Yulang looked down on her, "I have told you many times that comics are a light commercial product. Don't pursue that illusory art. The reason I want to set up a supervisor in the comic team is because painters may have oversupply themselves, which is contrary to the market."
Ma Rongcheng did not deny it, but said that he had made enough money now, and he wanted to make more contributions to Hong Kong comic innovation.
Just like Akira Toriyama, he provides new directions and references to Japanese comics in comic storytelling skills and fighting comic narratives.
"Nothing!"
Huang Yulang had no smile on his face and slapped the table unbearable. (This chapter ends)
