Section 96 Unstoppable Funding(1/2)
After listening to Tanaka Rui’s report on the phone, Ai Fei pondered for a moment: “Tanaka, you are here to Dream Song Company now. No, you go back to the company first, we will meet in the company office later.”
After apologizing to the people of Dream Song Company, Ai Fei drove back to the company and rushed up the stairs all the way. Even the employees who bowed to him ignored him. When he walked into the office, Ayumi was pouring water for Tanaka Rui. When he heard the door ringing, both of them stood up: "Mr. President?"
Ai Fei took the water cup from Yugong Jingzi's hand, and didn't care about etiquette. He drank it first and then took off the suit on his body: "How about it, let me know more about it?"
"Hi Yi!" Tanaka Rui repeated the conversation with Iris last night from beginning to end, and finally said: "Iris's emotions may have been affected by this incident. Last night, I didn't even ask the familiar Miss Shoko to accompany her. She went back very early after dinner."
Ai Fei snorted: "For him, it's not Joeko's pregnancy, but the question of the candidate for the second officer."
“Eh?”
"Ah, nothing, you keep talking."
"There is nothing else, it's just how things happened."
Ai Fei habitually crossed his hands and paddled them. On his chin, everyone who knew him knew what important decision this young president had to make: "Hey, do you have any cigarettes? Give me one."
"Ah, hey!" Tanaka Rui took out a cigarette and lit it for him. Yumiya Iko probably knew that he was doing important thoughts, and there were few who didn't bother him because of smoking: "Call Fujikun and Nishiokun, and Yumiya, please keep it too."
A few minutes later, everyone arrived, Ai Fei and Tanaka Rui repeated the situation he had given birth last night again. After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Fuji Takeuchi: "Fuji, what do you think?"
Like him, Fuji Takeuchi lit a cigarette, and his voice drifted out of the light blue smoke: "I think that the main purpose of Mr. Iris' request is to increase his weight in the election of the second-official in the province through our help!"
"It's totally correct!" Ai Fei slapped the table and scared everyone. He jumped: "We don't need to consider the authenticity of Yuezi's affairs. He said there was, and he said there was no. However, the matter of the secondary official election must be implemented. Does he really get the identity of the secondary official from the mouth of a drunk senior who missed it? It must be implemented. In addition to him, what candidates are there, the identity and qualifications of the candidate, strengths and weaknesses in this election, and how many votes Iris can get in this election. If he really has the potential to become a candidate for the secondary official, we might as well make this shop!"
After a series of words, Ai Fei looked at Yugong Jingzi: "Yugong, how much money can be moved on the company's books now?"
"There are still 405.7 million yen in liquidity."
"It's very good! I just said that the biggest advantage of using women as the leader is that it can save money to a greater extent." This sentence made Fuji Takeuchi and others laugh.
"Okay, no joke. Tanaka kun...you can contact the relationship as much as possible and find out the details of this matter. Just collect more information about this matter as I just told you."
"Hi!"
"Mr. President..."
"Hmm? Does Nishio-kun have anything to say?"
"You... are you so eager to ask about Mr. Iris' future career direction...but are there any other actions?"
"Haha..." Ai Fei smiled softly: "Niyao, I once told you that in the future, the construction of infrastructure and livelihood equipment venues in some countries will become the top priority of the government! If we can seize such an opportunity..."
"Mr. President, I'm sorry! I don't think that a pure publishing company can participate in the field of municipal construction with "Jump School Children's Animation Club". Maybe he was afraid that the words of the young President would convince him. Yuyu Nishio rarely ignored etiquette and interrupted him before he finished speaking.
"Actually, this is not only a problem for Nishio Jun. I think it is also a problem for many colleagues in the company, right?" Ai Fei said without anger: "In fact, I don't want to risk the scorching heat to go to the construction site to eat dust! What I want is just getting the construction rights for the project. For the specific work, I and "Jump School Children's Animation Club" will not participate in it!"
“Eh?”
"There is a method of borrowing chickens to lay eggs called subcontracting. Have you heard of it?" Ai Fei sneered: "The so-called subcontracting means that after we obtain the project construction rights, we find a qualified construction company, and they can complete the corresponding infrastructure construction. The fees allocated by the state for the project are divided by us and this company! Don't you think this is a good way to save labor and make money?"
"Mr. President...will it be illegal to do this?"
"Illegal? As long as the national law does not state it, it means it is legal! Believe me, there is no problem with this matter." He dispelled the staff's concerns lightly, and he looked at Yumiya Iko again: "Ayumiya, immediately put in a cash check of 30,000 yuan, and Tanaka handed it to Iris, which is a response to his lover's pregnancy! Whether what he said is true or not, we must have an attitude so that future cooperation can be carried out better."
Yumiya Jingzi was full of dislike accepting such an order, and had no choice but to nod, and agreed in a muffled voice: "Hi! I understand."
"Oh, there is one more thing..." Tanaka Rui winked at Arimiya Iko, who walked away: "Mr. President, the candidate for the new secretary has been selected. Which one do you think is suitable to become your secretary... Ms. Arimiya has their information and resume here, please check it out."
Ai Fei raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was too late to rush back to Dream Song, so he had to nod: "Okay, let me see."
This time, there were much more people who submitted their resumes than when Yumiya Jingzi came to apply for the first time. After reading about it, there were less than 30 people! Drinking the steaming afternoon tea and looking around the resume absent-mindedly, Ai Fei had no idea where he had gone.
"Mr. President? Mr. President?"
"Hmm? Ah? What?"
"Have you found a suitable secretary?"
Ai Fei blushed, lowered his head again, and began to read it carefully. After only reading a few pictures, he screamed in surprise: "Why did she submit her resume as well?"
Yumiya Jingzi looked at it, and a smile floated on the corner of her mouth: "Hi! Miss Renzi specially sent her resume to my hands."
Ai Fei looked up at her in disbelief: "Does he know about this?"
"Hi! Actually, Kato-kun sent her upstairs!"
It turned out that what I was holding in Ai Fei's hand was the resume of Kato Makichi, the editor-in-chief of "Jump School Children's Anime Club", and Reiko Kato! Ai Fei couldn't believe it. How could Kato Makichi, who always regarded himself as an old-fashioned Japanese, agree to his daughter to work in the company? Moreover, he was still a secretary for himself? For a moment, he almost thought that Kato Makichi was sending his daughter to be a spy!
Turning his head and looking, "You...you all know about this?"
"Yes, Mr. President." Fuji Takeuchi also smiled bitterly: "In fact, this is also Kato's choice after he had no choice. According to himself, once at home, he accidentally mentioned that you wanted to choose a new secretary. Miss Renzi asked her father to help her to become your secretary. Kato's wife was reluctant at first, but Miss Renzi cried and went on a hunger strike again. In the end, there was no way, so she had to agree."
Ai Fei smacked his lips helplessly: "This is not possible! A beautiful girl like Miss Lianzi... Even her father can't do anything to her. How can I manage it? No. I have to find Kato Kwan once!" Looking back at everyone: "Let's do it, follow our plan just now, and do it as soon as possible."
"Hi!"
He took Miss Reiko's resume and went to the editorial department downstairs. He hadn't been here for a long time. The editors either sat behind the desk and chatted with their neighboring colleagues, such as Sakai Nanma and Takagi Kyuki; or lowered their heads to do their own creations, such as Momoto Tetsuo; or carefully reviewed manuscripts, such as Toshima Ankang and two or three young people he didn't know, maybe they were new editors who joined?
Hearing the door ringing, everyone looked up and stood up one after another: "Mr. President, good afternoon."
"Good afternoon! Thank you for your hard work!" Ai Fei nodded and pointed to the nearby editor-in-chief's office: "Are Kato kun?"
A few people knew what he was going to come after guessing, and even Touyu Ankara smiled at it: "Hi! Not only Kato Kan is here, but Miss Reiko is here too."
"Ah?" Ai Fei hesitated. It seemed like a very rude thing to go in and refuse others in front of Miss Lianzi? Should I wait? I found a seat in the editorial department and sat down: "Thank you for a while!"
Seeing the President's seat, Niaoyu Ankang walked out from behind and replied on behalf of everyone: "I thank you for your blessing. The work is going smoothly and the workload is not as large as before."
"Um?"
"It's like this. Many manuscripts that have been used have been approved and reviewed, and of course, they have also been recognized by readers. Therefore, the editing work is only maintained in accordance with the original process."
"I understand, then, has the big picture come out this time?"
"Yes. Takagi-kun?"
"Hi Yi!" Takagi Xun took a thick notebook on the table and walked over: "Mr. President, this is the latest publication sample sent by Yuwu. Please review it!"
After taking the sample, Ai Fei did not open it immediately: "I sent it to Yuwu? Do you have to send it from there like this every month? Would it be troublesome?"
"No. After nearly a year of cooperation, Yuwu has already had good cooperation experience with us. Moreover, because of the increasing familiarity and tacit understanding of work, the chance of errors in the sample is getting smaller and smaller. Even if there is an occasional problem, it can be solved by phone, and we don't even need to go to the site for guidance again, which will not be very troublesome."
Ai Fei nodded silently and opened the sample in his hand. The content published on the sample is almost exactly the same as that of the officially published magazines, except that it is black and white. The work of red color and other colors will not start until the official printing is officially released. As for the content published, it is still the same number of books: Naruto, Dragon Ball, Crayon Shin-chi, Doctor Cat, and Tetsuo Morito, but at the end there seems to be a new work, called "Dirty Moon", and the author is a guy named Haya Saito.
It's fine for several other works, but this is the only one that is new, which aroused his interest. After reading it carefully for a while, the story tells the story of Prince Dracula, a bloodsucking king of the dark world, Prince Dracula, who sent his eight subordinates to the world to promote his beliefs - to attract more believers and lay the foundation for the prince's comeback. Xiao Ai, a boy in the world, is a cowardly guy. He was bullied by his sister who was 4 years younger than him at home, and was bullied by his seniors and juniors at school. In short, he was a guy who accomplished nothing. But this kind of child actually possessed the bloodline of the light system. He became the only savior to resist the attacks of the dark system.
Due to the length of the article, the story of "Dirty Moon" only tells a very short content at the beginning. Although the content is very short, the character's personality and main storyline are presented to the readers in the shortest time. It seems that Torii Ankang's vision is as harsh as ever! It is not a work that reaches a certain level, not to mention Kato Maiichi, it is difficult to pass even with him, right?
Close the sample, Ai Fei raised his head, faced everyone's expectant eyes, and smiled slightly: "Why, why are you looking at me?"
"Mr. President... Do you think you are satisfied with the manuscript published this time?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied. Thank you all for your hard work!"
Takagi Jun breathed a long sigh and a smile appeared on his face: "Where is this, this is all for you."
Ai Fei laughed at him: "Thank you for my blessing? Haha... Takagi Jun still won't joke as before! This is the credit of the staff of the editorial headquarters. What does it have to do with me, the president? Hahaha!"
After laughing and making a fuss, Ai Fei returned the sample to Takagi Xun: "Niyujun..."
"Yes?"
"I have considered what you said recently that although the principles of selecting and publishing works are somewhat different from my original intention, we still have to follow what you said and ensure reader satisfaction! After all, readers' preferences and willingness to spend money to buy are our ultimate goals, right?"
"Hi! I have always thought so."
"However, it seems that it is not fair to have some new works that never get the opportunity to appear in front of readers. Let's give you some compromises. Do you think you can publish a special topic page in a magazine, which is called new and new works? It is specially given to some potential and promising authors to play. For example, there is a place for works like "Dirty Moon" to meet readers. After gaining the recognition of readers, they will be arranged to enter the ranks of formal publications. In this way, we can cultivate readers with different flavors for our magazine, and also allow the authors to earn some income?"
Niaoyu thought for a while: "Of course, it's OK, but in terms of layout arrangement, doing so may squeeze the already limited layout space?"
"Can you find a way to publish a special magazine? It is specially used for these authors? It may be simpler in form or even bundled. That is to say, every time you buy a "jump School Children's Animation Club" magazine, you bundled a experimental magazine, which is much cheaper than buying it alone, mainly to open up the market and make readers agree that making money is not the first priority."
"For such a thing... can you discuss it with Fujikun and Ms. Arimiya from the Advertising Department? After all, if we operate this way, our production costs will increase again! The profit margin will also be reduced a lot."
"This is almost certain." He stood up and was about to explain to his subordinates about his decision when he heard the door behind him ringing, followed by a female voice with a crying voice: "...Hate! Dad hates it the most, I want... eh?"
Ai Fei looked back and couldn't help but whistle in his heart! I haven't seen it for half a year, right? Kato Reiko has become a big girl! Her graceful figure and delicate body, and a pair of plump clothes on her chest; her youthful face is full of healthy luster. The only regret is that the girl may have just cried. Her big eyes, which should have been clearly black and white, are a little red, reminding people of some kind of vegetarian animal.
Seeing Ai Fei staring at him without turning his eyes, Miss Lianzi tilted her head slightly like the first time when the two of them met. She was embarrassed to tick it: "Ai Feijun...? Good afternoon."
"Ah, Miss Renzi, good afternoon." Looking past Miss Renzi, Kato Masaki looked very ugly. Obviously, there was no way to deal with this spoiled daughter since childhood. As soon as he contacted his eyes, the old man smiled bitterly.
Reiko Kato met him and no longer had the arrogance of being with her father. On the contrary, her hands unconsciously twisted into a ball behind her: "Ai Fei... Jun, are you reluctant to let me be your... secretary?" After saying a simple sentence, the girl's forehead was clearly seen sweat.
Such a question made Ai Fei a little difficult to answer. It seemed too rude to refuse directly. It seemed too rude. I agreed, but it was different from my own thoughts. In the end, I had to smile bitterly and look at the girl who was looking forward to his answer: "Miss Lianzi, I am very grateful for your attention to me..., but it is really a very hard thing to be my secretary... I know that since you made such a decision, you have already prepared accordingly, but really, appointing a lady as young as you to become my secretary is really not something I can accept! So, I can only say thank you for your kindness."
Reiko Kato's eyes suddenly turned red: "If you say this, is it a rejection?"
Ai Fei hardened his heart: "Yes. That's what it means."
Reiko Kato's cute mouth flattened: "Really?"
"Really, I can't agree to you as my secretary!"
The girl looked at him with tears in her eyes for a while, and finally ran out with a cry.
Kato Maiyi was both upset and thankfully bowed in front of Ai Fei: "My little girl's affairs... have caused you trouble!" After saying that, he quickly chased his daughter and ran out.
Ai Fei shook his head helplessly: "Maybe, it is a good choice to let Yumiya Iko serve as a member of the secretary!"
"Even if I traveled all over the beautiful palace and enjoyed all my wealth and glory, no matter where I am, I miss my home... I can never see the flowers in front of the door again," the music stopped abruptly, and Ai Fei stood up from the stool: "Very good, gentlemen, very good! Working with you reminded me of the scene when I was singing with my seniors when I was in school!"
Youshe Peng, who was in charge of the clarinet, smiled: "In fact, the cooperation with Ai Feijun is just to find the feelings of the juniors who were 'taken' at the beginning!"
To be continued...
