Chapter 322 Boss-level treatment
Shingo Oda distributed gifts in the headquarters building of Spring Bookstore with an almost Santa Claus feeling.
It would be a bit rash for an ordinary cartoonist to do this.
But this is Oda Shingo, and no one feels there is anything inappropriate. Instead, they feel that even though he has become rich, he can still be close to the bottom, and he is a strong man who can maintain a peaceful heart.
As long as you are strong enough, whatever you do is right. This is an inertia of thinking that goes deep into the bones of the Japanese people.
What's more, ordinary cartoonists, even if they have achievements such as the release of a single volume, would never think of sending some gifts to express their condolences.
In the eyes of most people, cartoonists are paranoid liver kings who are out of touch with society and do not understand the world.
That is to say, only those lunatics would choose a line where the success rate is less than 0.1% and the work is so hard that they may die suddenly at any time.
Many people in the Spring Bookstore came out to see Mr. Oda. After all, he is a celebrity in the comics industry who is known as the Great Demon King on the Internet.
"He's very handsome."
"He is really a good young man who thinks of giving gifts after he gets rich."
Many editors commented very objectively.
However, many editors took the initiative to establish good relations with them.
"We all heard that GANTZ is getting a live-action movie!"
"Congratulations Oda-sensei!"
"Si Guoyi!" As soon as he heard this voice, he knew it was a young female editor.
That voice is quite waxy, and I can't wait to bring out the charm of women to the extreme.
The female editor who had already been there immediately rushed to the bathroom, put on her makeup and then came over to approach Oda Shingo.
There was even a young female administrator who took advantage of her good looks and secretly unbuttoned two buttons on her collar, tightened the hidden belt around her waist until she could hardly breathe, and then came over to ogle Oda Shingo.
It's just that Oda Shingo is surrounded by Todo Kojo and Namikaze Yukuru, and the young female editors and female administrators are somewhat dwarfed by them. Most of them take the initiative to defeat without speaking.
"Teacher Oda, I am your loyal fan! I have read every manga several times!" However, there are still some who are ignorant and insist on talking to Oda Shingo.
Oda Shingo responded with a standard smile.
However, after Toudo Xiangcheng glanced at it, he picked up Yuko Mikami behind him.
"Who does she look like?" Todo Xiangcheng said jokingly.
Mikami Yuko was quite embarrassed.
Could it be...
Many editors vaguely guessed it. Because everyone has long paid attention to Oda Shingo Studio and knew that a female cosplayer has joined.
The brother of this female cosplayer is said to be Saburo Mikami, the current head of the magazine department of Spring Bookstore.
Finally, one or two female administrators resigned unwillingly and stopped chatting and harassing them.
"You're pretty good at it." Namikaze Yukaku whispered to Toudo Kaori.
Todo Xiangcheng expressed that it was easy to handle, flipped up his hair and snorted: "A weapon can be defeated without a loss of blood."
"Ah! Shingo! Why are you here?" Before they could reach the elevator door, Saburo Mikami and Assistant Okita had already come down.
Soon, almost everyone in the building came out.
Oda Shingo really became the role of Santa Claus and started giving small gifts to everyone.
Of course, it is also divided into levels. Generally, those who are not familiar with it are only given ordinary color box gifts. Mikami Saburo's was of a higher grade, and someone like Assistant Okita, an acquaintance who had served as a driver several times, was also of a lower grade.
Oda Shingo had something to discuss, and after expressing his attitude a little, he asked Todo Kojo and Namikaze Yukaku to directly hand over small gifts to various departments for distribution.
Saburo Mikami took them to the conference room on the top floor.
In the elevator, Oda Shingo asked: "Is the president here?"
"It's a pity that she's not here. Can I help you date her?"
"It's okay, I'm mainly here for a walk." Oda Shingo just expressed his thoughts to Mikami Saburo.
Some ideas are more appropriate to be conveyed to others. For example, this time he wanted to increase the number of pages. If he asked the president directly, if Sadako Haruta didn't want to agree, it would be difficult to refuse in person.
Therefore, by using Saburo Mikami as the successor, there is a buffer.
Oda Shingo suddenly remembered and joked: "Hey? How is the development between you and Minister Takano, Saburo? Will you pass on the share I gave her?" "Okay." Saburo Mikami accepted two copies without any courtesy. .
"How far is it going? How many bases? Is there a home run?"
"Ahem, what are you talking about?" Saburo Mikami coughed lightly.
My sister is behind you and you are asking this to my face.
Oda Shingo smiled.
Toudo Xiangcheng quietly glared at Oda Shingo.
You loser, you still have the nerve to ask others?
In the conference room, Oda Shingo and Mikami Saburo chatted for a long time and made an agreement on how to carry out peripheral licensing, share the spoils, and share the proceeds.
Oda Shingo is too lazy to take care of too much. For physical peripheral authorization, it is better to use Spring Bookstore as an agent.
Then the focus was on increasing the number of pages in each issue.
Mikami Saburo expressed that he was very happy, but just reminded him not to tire himself out, especially not to tire his sister...
"By the way, you only have three assistants, is that enough? I happen to have some new assistants here, you can choose from them."
Mikami Saburo asked the editor-in-chief to send him a stack of resumes.
Listing means leaving your resume with editors, chief editors, etc. It is the professional resume of a part-time cartoonist's assistant. It is similar to submitting a resume. Many cartoon clubs also have the function of introducing assistants to their cartoonists.
Since the comic book club cannot have professional marketing functions, the cartoonist's assistant cannot pay agency fees after joining the company.
But according to industry rules, cartoonist assistants will buy some gifts to give back to the cartoon club staff. The price is usually two days' assistant's salary, which is about 20,000 yen.
Some made it clear that they were willing to work for free in order to be able to draw under well-known cartoonists so that they could improve their skills and develop independently. Even send a gift to the editor in advance in hopes of receiving special recommendations.
After all, this is an era of exchange of interests, so there is no shame in it.
There are also some assistants who really don't understand this rule. They don't give back gifts after being hired, so they don't get good jobs all year round, and they can't even tell where their practice schedule is.
Oda Shingo picked up the new watch and took a look at it.
Namikaze Youkaku and other women's expressions were solemn.
He looked at one of the watches in surprise: "Minamoto Reiko? She is no longer in Goda Studio?"
It was Reiko, the female assistant under Takeda Takeda, who had borrowed money from Oda Shingo before.
Saburo Mikami recalled: "Takeda Takeda has been out of print for too long. He should have dismissed his assistants."
Oda Shingo put down his resume: "My studio is not big, and I like to be quiet. Even if I am recruiting female assistants, I am not ready to recruit female assistants into the studio. Can you help me arrange an agency job here? room?"
"oh?"
Shingo Oda introduced the concept of the Agent Assistant Studio on Earth.
Some cartoonists are not used to having assistants around them, so someone has set up an agency assistant studio to provide remote assistant services for big-shot cartoonists.
"There was a similar prototype of this." Saburo Mikami was somewhat interested.
This is similar to labor dispatch, which also controls some assistants and only charges some management fees.
Capital, nothing to be ashamed of.
Oda Shingo came up again and took some details before saying goodbye and leaving.
Mikami Saburo personally sent him out.
When he went downstairs, almost everyone from various departments came out to see him off.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you Oda-sensei for the gift."
"Congratulations Oda-sensei, thank you very much."
There were people greeting me at almost every door I passed by.
Even Oda Shingo, who had been a boss in his previous life, was a little flattered.
Carrying Spring Bookstore into the top three positions, single volumes sold out, various adaptations of works authorized, especially with the support of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, this has made Oda Shingo an industry leader that everyone looks up to.
