Chapter 47: Endless Meetings (1)

Ai Fei took the documents handed over by Xiwei and looked at them: "Do you think the total amount of houses worth 50,000 is something we should not bear?"

"Sorry, Mr. President, I don't think your decision is wrong, but until now, there is no approval for any project to be expanded or renovated near Ueno Station. Even after contacting Tanaka-kun and asking him to ask Mr. Iris for information, he did not receive any positive answers. Therefore, I think it should be time for the purchase of residential houses near Ueno Station to stop temporarily!"

"Very insightful!" Ai Fei was not angry at the other party's negative opinion: "It was the same as when I asked Tanaka Jun. However, Nishio Jun, have you ever thought that if there were houses near Ueno Station that were to be renovated or expanded, the action would be very, very fast! Even if a company like us could take action, others would buy all the land? At that time, all the money we invested in the early stage would be gone like a bubble!"

"Xiao Ai Jun..." Aizhu Taro, who had just become the deputy director of the Finance Department but was responsible for the specific operation in his daily work, spoke timidly. God knows that this is the first time he has seen his son speak at a regular meeting in the company! He is so imposing! So many people - and they are all older than him. In front of his son, he didn't mention what he was thinking, but just seeing their pens sitting straight, he was already surprised by his father!

"Uh, yes. Is there anything you have to do?" As for my father, although he is his subordinate at work, he still needs to be polite at least.

"I have roughly looked at the company's investment in housing and corresponding real estate. I think the number of remaining houses in the Ueno District area we now own is already a lot. Even if there are the sudden large-scale operations you mentioned, it should be able to recover the cost of our early investment, right?"

"The cost can of course be recovered. However, if our goal is limited to recovering costs, it is just like the school children's club that year only limited its attention to selling 400,000 copies of the works of Osamu Tezuka!" He was also a little anxious, and after saying that, he scratched his head awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm not intentionally offending everyone. What I mean is that for a small company like us, only by seizing this country and getting as much resources as possible before the big explosion development can we not be left behind by the times in the challenge of the official arrival!"

He picked up the coffee and took a sip: "I went abroad for about 6 months. The changes in Tokyo City seem to be not very fast, and it is not surprising. But in my opinion, it can be described as a thousand miles a day! There are more cars in the city, the expressions on the faces of pedestrians are also happy, and the construction of the city itself has also improved rapidly. I think I don't know what the city outside of Tokyo is like if I can't use it. But Tokyo City will definitely become the most advanced, most developed, and most populous in Japan. Of course, relative, the city with the highest land price in the city!"

"Everyone, the 50,000 yen I invested now may become 500 million, 50 billion, 50 billion in the future. This appreciation space can be increased by geometric numbers!"

"…………” The crowd was silent, as if his speech was not effective.

"Yugong, you are the head of the Finance Department. What do you think?"

Although Yumiya Iko still has the title of the head of the finance department, the specific work has been handed over to Taro Aizhu. She usually sits beside Ai Fei during meetings. She moved her body twisted when hearing this: "Mr. President, you know that I have always been... willing to execute your orders, but can we temporarily carry out the investment this time?"

This is almost equivalent to expressing his objection. Ai Fei took a breath: "Since even Yugong speaks like this, it can prove that my opinion cannot be approved?"

"Mr. President, I agree with Miss Aimiya's opinion..." This is the voice of Vice President Fuji Takeuchi: "This time the investment is the largest in the company in recent years, so I also hope that the purchase of houses in Ueno District... can be carried out through multiple different extensions."

If this was a motion before Ai Fei left Japan, he could have forced himself to pass it by relying on his identity as the president, but now it is not possible: the efforts made by the company's employees for the company, even as the highest decision-maker, cannot be insulted. After thinking about it for a while, he finally made a decision: "Okay, I agree with everyone. Since you think this is not a very safe investment, I will invest in this matter with my own investment."

"Mr. President..."

Ai Fei was really reluctant: "What? Can I use my own money, either?"

"It's not this problem, but you have to use a lot of cash when you go to the United States. Such an investment will delay your cash flow in the United States!"

"Not yet." Ai Fei calculated roughly. 50 million yen is about 130,000 yen. Although it cannot be considered a lot, it is still a bit difficult to get such a large amount of cash at one time. However, at this time, I can't let myself go: "I will find a way to solve the problem of money. But, Nishio-kun?"

"Hi!"

"This time the investment was made in my personal capacity. When signing a contract with local residents, remember to indicate this."

"Hi Yi! Please rest assured, I will handle this matter properly!"

"About the work, especially the launch of new works, Kato-kun, do you have anything to say?"

"Hi Yi!" Listening to this kind of investment conversation, the editors were as depressed as if they had become addicted to smoking, but when they talked about the work, he immediately felt refreshed: "After a period of preparation, some brand new works have appeared. Some of them even used the inspiration of the president, and of course, they were still processed."

"Oh? Is there anything that is particularly worth mentioning?"

Kato Qianchi smiled: "If you want to report this matter to you?"

"Niyujun?"

"Hi Yi!" Toyu seemed to find it a bit funny when talking about this question, and his mouth twitched: "In fact, since the president left, I have started to deliver some pictures or stories in the information to different authors as you told me. For some people, the information you left in your spare time is just a very scattered fragment to appreciate, but there are also several people who have found some inspiration for creation. For example, Ichiojun of Coetus discovered a new source of story from your work, and processed it from it, creating his own work: "Farewell World", a story with a slightly dark style. According to him, it was inspired by a certain battle scene in some materials you gave. There is also an author named Kaohsiung Kaohsiung, whose "Big Beast" also received great praise after its release."

Ai Fei laughed loudly: "Why do you call such a strange name?"

"Yes," Ninyu didn't laugh: "This is a comic about baseball. The protagonist is a very stupid but hard-working young man..."

"It's OK." Ai Fei stopped him and took a magazine on the table and looked through it for a while: "I'm not interested in the story itself. How is the sales situation?"

"Very good!" Speaking of this question, the one who has the most say is Fuji Takeuchi: "The sales in May have reached 2.4 million copies, which is 6 times the result of "Shin Treasure Island"!"

Ai Fei kept lowering his head and flipping the magazine in his hand: "…………”

Everyone didn't know what he was thinking, and Fuji Takeuchi's words gradually became deeper.

"Oh, you keep talking, I'm listening."

"Hi Yi! The huge increase in magazine sales has also increased the advertising revenue of our magazine. The ads for the film have been filled in the second half of this year until October. There are even new requests from advertisers who have made new requests. We can only say sorry to them. Haha..."

"Now magazines..." He slowly closed the magazine aside: "I just looked at it, and it has increased to about 120 pages. One quarter of them are advertisements. That's right? Do you think many readers are willing to see so many advertisements in our magazines? I think if I am a reader, I would even be interested in taking a look! Whenever I see such content, I will just turn it over. The result is that advertisers invest a lot of advertising funds but cannot get the final desired effect. In the long run, I am afraid that our advertising revenue will gradually decline. How do you plan to solve such problems?"

None of the people sitting there are proficient in advertising. They can do it and can do it, but they just use the advertiser's money and publish it. As for whether the results can be obtained in the later stage, no one asked: "Mr. President, we publish comic magazines. Can such advertisers get the goals they expected? Can we pay attention to it?"

"Think about it from another perspective, if our magazines also need to advertise in other places, such as Asahi and Yomiuri Shimbun, but when the money is spent and there is no effect, will you consider not investing in advertising? Similarly, other advertisers also have requirements for this! If the effect is not so good, they will immediately give up investing in advertising in magazines. So, what I just said is definitely not an unfair thing."

"…………” The crowd was silent, only the sound of breath echoed in the conference room.

"So, Xiao Aijun, do you think there should be any solution?"

"It's better to leave this matter to everyone who is sitting here to find a solution," Ai Fei smiled slightly: "Father, although I am the president of the company, it's impossible for me to solve everything, right? I'll spend money to invite everyone to work, not to ask questions, but to solve the problem."

“…………”

Ai Fei pushed the table and said: "This matter is not just about the advertising department. All departments must come up with solutions they think are feasible! In three days, I will see written materials for the solutions to this problem on my desk. Today's meeting ends here, and the meeting will be dispersed."
