"I understand!" Ai Fei nodded and looked down on his face: "Jiang Shangjun..."

"Hi!"

"Is your publishing house called merit?"

"Hi Yi!" Eshang looked like a business-related style: "This time I came to Tokyo. I originally wanted to visit my comrades who were once in the army, but I didn't want to find a new comic work worthy of excavation at my comrades' house. After asking, I found out that it was Ai Jun's work. Therefore, I hope I can get Ai Jun's permission to introduce your work to readers in Osaka, and also increase Ai Jun's reputation nationwide. I hope you can agree."

"..." Ai Fei hesitated for a moment, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Ai Shizuko who was standing aside. The latter was looking at his son with a little nervousness. As soon as the eyes of the two of them touched, Ai Shizuko immediately turned her head.

"Introduced to readers in Osaka?" Ai Fei picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip: "I wonder what kind of cooperation it is?"

"If possible, I want to get Ai Jun's consent and take the publishing and distribution of your works in the Osaka area into your hands... As for..."

Before he could finish his words, Ai Fei had already stopped him: "Please wait!"

“…………”

"If you can get all the publications and distributions to Osaka, you can certainly save a lot of costs, but there are many problems here. First of all, can the albums published in Osaka guarantee the quality? If there are errors and omissions during printing, how to remedy them? Second, my manuscripts are always handed over to the printing factory under a very confidential situation. Even inside the printing factory, there will not be many people who can really see the manuscript. If you need to take the manuscripts of the album to Osaka for operation, will there be problems?"

"This... I think this is unlikely to happen."

Ai Fei smiled: "The Americans always think that the Japanese will not be able to provoke a war first. What is the final result? Didn't they suffer all the hardships at Pearl Harbor?"

Jiang Shanglu smiled: "So, what about Ai Jun's opinion?"

"It can only be printed in Tokyo, but the issuance rights can be handed over to you. In other words, there is only one issuance company in Kanto. When you have more advanced delivery tools in the future, you will hand over the specific printing rights to you."

Jiang Shang scratched his head bitterly: "This was the only way that could work at present, but our company would never agree to be your agent in Kanto! What we need is to be independent and operate according to our own requirements and wishes."

"That's a pity. Under the current state, it's hard for me to agree to your conditions."

"If, if our company is financially..."

"Sorry, money is important, but for me now, maintaining a consistently high-level publishing work is the most important thing. You should know that it is difficult to create a brand, and it is too easy to destroy it."

"But... Ai Jun, the Merit Publishing House where I am is also a very famous publishing company in Japan. I think there should be no problem with us being responsible for publishing matters in Osaka area, right?"

"Well, as you said, if I personally find some problems in the manuscript after you took the manuscript and I want to modify it, what should I do? Your company is located in Osaka, which is too far from Tokyo. Even if you contact it by phone, it is impossible to do it in the current state, so..."

Jiang Shang scratched his head helplessly: "I understand! If you say this, if our company wants to get Ai Jun's permission, it can only be in terms of issuance?"

"Sorry, please forgive my willfulness. There is nothing more feasible about this matter yet."

"Yes, I understand Ai Jun's difficulties. So, if our company wants to get the right to publish your work in the Osaka area, do you personally think there is anything necessary?"

Ai Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief and frivolously crossed his legs: "So, I wonder what conditions can Mr. Jiang Shang give to my animation studio on behalf of your publishing house?"

"Uh, the exact reply should require me to make a decision after returning to Osaka, but I can now agree to you in addition to more economic terms to agree to Ai Feijun's conditions..."

"After returning to Osaka? How can this work?" Ai Fei's eyebrows frowned: "From here to Osaka and then back, do you think you can still catch up with the first issue of "jump" weekly?"

"Hey? Why isn't it "Crayon Shin-chan"?"

Ai Fei scratched his head with a wry smile. Only then did he remember that the magazine "jump" had not appeared on the market yet. Of course, Jiang Shang came here for the matter of "Crayon Shin-hshin"!

After talking for a long time, I thought he was for the publication and distribution of a new magazine! Hey? What if I just hand over the copyright of "Crayon Shin-chan" to them and use this work to test the other party's strength?

"…Ai Jun, what's wrong with you?"

Ai Fei raised his head, his eyes bright: "Mr. Esaka, I'm sorry, I'm wrong about this! If your publishing house is willing to introduce my works to readers in Kanto such as Osaka, I'm very willing to work with you!"

"Eh?" Both of the people in the room were stunned. They said it was impossible just now, why is it okay to have the skills at this moment?

He saw the doubts of several people and smiled slightly: "Mr. Jiang Shang, this is the case. I originally thought you came here to discuss the matter of "jump" magazine with me..."

“…………”

"As you know, the story of "Crayon Shin-chief Shin-chief" is just the beginning, and the publication and distribution of "jump" represents the official entry of my works into the market and facing the test of readers! Of course, this magazine has not appeared yet and will be officially launched next month. Well, that's the case."

He couldn't explain it clearly, but Jiang Shang understood it: "That is to say, do you think the publication and distribution of "Crayon Shin-chief" has entered a normal track, and the problems you mentioned just now will no longer appear?"

"At least, there is no need to suddenly request a return of the manuscript from me, the author; and for you and the publisher you are in, I think there will be no low-level loopholes that occur during the printing process, right?"

"Of course not!" Jiang Shang almost subconsciously replied: "My company... Haha, Ai Jun is really a master of negotiation!"

"Where?" Ai Fei shook his head sincerely: "This is also the enlightenment obtained from several jokes and unsuccessful negotiations! So, if I hand over the distribution rights of "Crayon Shin-chief" to you, what conditions will you give me?"

“We will consider using a one-time payment…”

"Mr. Ei Shang..." Ai Fei did not care about the normal Japanese conversation etiquette and did not allow the other party to interrupt him after he said: "First of all, I want to tell you that I will never hand over the copyright of my work to others! We can only have a cooperative relationship, let me simplify the problem, I will hand over the publishing and distribution rights to you, and you will give me the corresponding commission according to the sales figures. I think you have already seen the albums issued in Tokyo. The market retail price is 109 yen, and the fee deserved by Yuwu Printing Factory is 59.6 yen, and the same commission for all the sales points I give is 15 yen, which is equivalent to the cost of a picture album being 74.6 yen, and the income I can get is about 34 yen..."

He talked endlessly for a long time, and Jiang Shang kept listening, and finally couldn't help it: "Ai Jun, our company cannot meet your requirements with such a price and cost."

"I know, so I didn't think about getting such benefits from your company. Moreover, I have no idea about the sales volume of your company, so I thought of his compromise: your company sells 150,000 copies every month, and each copy is 26 yuan to allocate funds according to the designated account."

"150,000 copies? Ai Jun, you..."
