The fifth floor of the School Children's Club, which was originally used to store expired magazines and books, was recently vacated and renovated. As Ai Fei's new office - the original one was still given to Kato Maeichi as his editor-in-chief office.

The warehouse is very large. In order to effectively utilize this large space, the room was installed into several small offices, one used as the president's office, which is the most important department, and the other ones have a rest room that provides a place for his daily rest, a bathroom, and the largest area left, which is used as a conference room for the school children's club - separated from his office by a wall.

There was a telephone and a pot of daisies on the desk, which exuded a faint fragrance in the September sunshine. This was Ai Fei's favorite flower species, which always made him feel refreshed: "In other words, the latest issue of "jump" will print 150,000 copies?"

"Hi Yi!" Opposite his desk was Yuwu's Kojima Ryo. The latter raised his legs and looked at the boy bathed in the sun with a smile: "What, do you think Ai Feijun is dissatisfied with this number?"

"You can't say you're not satisfied. You know that the school children's club has no new works yet, and of course there is no income from advertising fees. It's all up to my work to be rich after it is published - well, it's almost like I'm paying to support these people myself!"

Kojima made a laugh: "Isn't this the responsibility you should bear as the president of your husband? Or are you forced to spend 14.5 million yen to buy this company?"

Ai Fei also smiled: "Where is "Crayon Shin-chief"? How about the numbers?"

"Tokyo still maintains 400,000 copies, but I just received a call from Osaka recently. Merit wants to increase the printing number on their side to 300,000 copies. This is equivalent to the total sales of "Crayon Shin-chief Shin-chi" nationwide that has reached 700,000 copies! This has greatly exceeded the results of Osamu Tezuka back then!" Kojima retracted his smile: "It took only 5 months, Ai Jun, you have indeed done it!"

Ai Fei was not as surprised as the latter imagined: "Is there only 700,000 copies? It's less than I expected! Perhaps, more magazines should be sold through the sales outlets of the school children's club."

"Isn't this what Ai Jun planned before buying the school club?"

"There is another thing..." Ai Fei waved his hand: "It is about the printing of works by the School Children's Club. Fujikun and Katokun asked that the original printer of the School Children's Club was a printing factory in Meguro District, and it has a long cooperative relationship with the School Children's Club. I am going to take back the printing business handed over to them or leave it to Yuwu. Can you bear it?"

Kojima Rang was very happy: "Hi Yi! Yuwu Company has very complete personnel and technical strength, and even if it adds hundreds of thousands of prints, there is absolutely no problem."

Ai Fei nodded: "About the cost and benefits, I think it will be based on the contract we signed at the beginning. As for the quality of the printed products, you can discuss it with Kato Kwan in detail. In a word, I will definitely not allow any quality problems, otherwise, I will immediately stop the contract with your company, and I don't care even if I pay the penalty for it."

"Hi Yi! I understand. Please don't worry, Ai Feijun, I will definitely be in charge of the quality of the works and will not allow any quality problems."

"Okay." Ai Fei grabbed the phone and dialed a few numbers: "Hey, Kato Kun? I am Ai Fei. Yu Wu's Kojima is here. I think you can officially start negotiations with him on the quality of the work. OK, I'll let him go."

Kojima asked to stand up on his own initiative: "So, please allow me to say goodbye."

After seeing off Kojima Yen, Ai Fei dialed the number again: "Hey, is Fuji-kun? I'm Ai Fei. Come up."

Soon, Fuji Takeuchi walked into his office: "I'm disturbing! Mr. President, are you looking for me?"

Ai Fei took out the island and handed over the check he had just sent: "This is the check that Yu Wu brought, you can take it over."

"Hi Yi!" Fuji Takeuchi took the check with both hands and glanced down. There were so many zeros? At this time, there was no time to count them carefully, and put them respectfully in his pocket: "Sir, do you have any instructions?"

"How is the advertising going?"

Fuji shook her head bitterly: "There is still no new changes."

Ai Fei was stunned for a moment: "Asakhi Shimbun has published an interview on the new reform of the school-child club, but is there still no new changes?"

"Hi Yi! This is my dereliction of duty as the head of the advertising department...!"

"These are two things!" Ai Fei's eyes shining in the morning light: "I see the recent work of the people in the advertising department. Not only me, but also colleagues from the school club are watching. I think this situation is nothing more than that our new issue of magazines has not been launched yet, and readers and customers still have no confidence in us. Well, Fuji-kun, what do you think would happen if we change the monthly magazines we are implementing now to weekly magazines? Will there be a lot of pressure on the works?"

"Hey? Change it to a weekly magazine? Is this too... frequent? I'm worried that the number of works and content will not be provided at such a busy pace."

"So, what about the bimonthly? Would it be better?"

"Please forgive me for this...I have never thought about this problem."

"You go down and think about it. It's best to have a conversation with Kato Jun to see if it's feasible. If possible, start."

"Hi! I understand."

"There is also the issue of advertising fees, which makes everyone in the advertising department move and attract advertisers as much as possible. Even if the advertising fees of hundreds of thousands of yuan are not allowed, we cannot let go. For some small companies, even if they do not have the desire and expense of advertising in magazines, we can temporarily slow down and even consider advertising for them first."

This is another new suggestion beyond Fuji's thinking. It seems that this young boss has reached the point of being infatuated in order to win advertising fees! How can he publish advertisements for others without spending money? He hesitated for a moment: "Sir, this matter is afraid that more customers will default on our advertising fees and..."

"Just state it in the contract. Don't worry about someone deliberately owing advertising fees, even if there is. If this happens, it may not be a bad thing for us."

“Eh?”

Ai Fei smiled: "Believe me, you will understand when this happens."

"Hi!"

"There is another thing..." Ai Fei scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Fuji-kun, there seems to be no female staff in the original school children's club, right?"

"Eh?" Fuji was stunned and quickly replied: "No! When the original president Kohoshikawa Kwan was in office, there were always female staff members who served as his secretary. Later, due to the war, many people chose to leave. Later, Kohoshikawa Kwan no longer served in the school club, and female staff did not have any formal role in the comic club, so they stopped entering."

"This matter...becomes moving." Ai Fei finally made up his mind: "No female employee in a company... seems too rigid, right?"

"If the President does intend to recruit a female employee in the company, of course it is OK, but, in terms of conditions, do you know if there are any special requirements?"

"No. As long as you know how to work and be willing to work, I just need a female secretary who can help me pour water, pour coffee, and greet guests. As for the others, there is no special request."

"Hi! I understand, then, please allow me to say goodbye."

Ai Fei picked up the phone for the third time: "Hey, Nishio Jun? Come to me. Forget it, I'll go to your place."

Walking out of the office and coming to the room of the anime studio downstairs, Nishio was lying on the drawing board next to the desk, busy and nervously. Ai Fei walked behind him and took a look. The latter was doing the design of the character modeling of "Naughter", with a few sheets of painting papers next to it. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Orochimaru and others had already appeared on the drawing paper, which was similar to the request he had made to him, and it was similar to the content of the cartoons he had watched in later generations. It seemed that Nishio had really worked hard!

Hearing the sound of the paper being turned, Nishio put down his brush: "Are you here?"

"Ah, thank you for your hard work." Ai Fei nodded, walked to him, took the brush that was put on the side, and added a big gourd to Gaara who was creating on the drawing paper: "This is Gaara's most important weapon - this gourd."

"Hi!"

Ai Fei's hand paused on the drawing paper: "You have learned a lot about the story of Naruto, right?"

Sakai smiled: "Hi Yi! After discussion and talks with Momoto Tetsuo-kun, we both have roughly understood the structure of the story. It's just... Mr. President, are you sure you want to use Naruto as the latest creative text of the schoolchildren club?"

"Hmm? Is there any problem?"

"What I care about is the issue of "jump". Ai Jun, you won't give up on "jump" because of the business of the school club, right? You must know that there is your real effort! Of course, it is also my hard work!"

Ai Fei moved a chair in front of his desk and sat down: "Saki, I am very grateful for your enthusiasm for "jump", but please don't forget that we are working together with our colleagues in the school club to launch the new magazine market, and everything must be operated around this center. As for the subsequent development of "jump", I can also tell you that it is not because of your enthusiasm and concern for "jump", nor because you are the earliest employee of the animation studio, but because of the process we both have walked together."

"Hi Yi! Thank you very much for your attention from the President. I..."

Ai Fei did not give him the opportunity to continue to show his loyalty: "About "jump", when the sales and operation of the school children's club enter a new era, I will merge the school children's club and the studio. As for the others, you should also know that now, whether it is "jump" or the school children's club, they are exploring a brand new business method. No matter which of them is proven to be feasible and can be verified in the market, the merged publishing company will operate in this way."
