The First Thousand Two Hundred and Forty-Two Chapters Grew Up

Oda Yusuke said: "Father, my suggestion is actually just a suggestion. From my personal point of view, of course, I hope that Uncle Hashimoto can finally win this competition. After all, he is also half of my teacher. I hope he can win, too. But you can see it! Now the situation seems to be getting out of hand, and neither you nor I can guarantee that Uncle Hashimoto will win."

"But if Uncle Hashimoto really loses, let alone the board meeting to decide his stay, I'm afraid that the company's stock price will plummet immediately from the moment the results of the game come out. At that time, this kind of pressure It's not just for our family, I'm afraid every shareholder in the board of directors will have a hard time. And our approach! It's just a self-help response when the company has a major crisis. Do you think those who love money like their lives Shareholders, can they be content to watch the stock price plummet without reacting?"

Yasuo Oda nodded and said, "Although what you said is reasonable! But if the stock price decline is due to the major bad news caused by this incident, then even if we remove Ryuji Hashimoto from the board of directors, it will not offset the bad news. Falling reaction. On the contrary, we may draw a line with Hashimoto Ryuji, causing the stock price to fall further. After all, Hashimoto Ryuji is one of the representatives of the golden generation of Japanese comics. Ryuji Hashimoto is also somewhat helpful in stabilizing the company's stock price in the later stage."

"Father! Although I say this, it may be a little inappropriate. But there is an old Chinese saying: the sunset is infinitely better, but it is only near dusk. The end of an old era often represents the beginning of another new era. If Uncle Hashimoto The failure of the company may bring huge disadvantages to the company's stock price, so wouldn't the joining of a rising star in the comics industry also bring huge benefits to the company's stock price?"

When Oda Kangping heard this, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Did you mean..."

"Yes! If Zhang Yu really wins the game against Uncle Hashimoto this time, then Uncle Hashimoto will be a stepping stone to Zhang Yu's success. Then Zhang Yu will become the new king of the comics industry, then he can give The greater interests of the company! We should not let this talent go.”

"But he is Chinese! Don't you think that inviting a Chinese to join will arouse the disgust of domestic readers? Our Japanese animation market has been dominated by Japanese painters for so many years. If we bring in one The Chinese, I am afraid that it will make readers unhappy, and it will backfire in the end.”

"Father! For a comic, the most important thing that affects its sales is the quality of the work, not the nationality. American animation products are also imported! But now, with their technological advantages, they have already carried out research on the domestic market. Substantially eroded. Now our Japanese comics market is gradually shrinking, in fact, the main reason is that the quality of the works is declining too fast, without the stimulation of high-quality works, it is difficult for the market to revive new vitality.”

"And even if we don't woo Zhang Yu to join us! Do you think other companies will miss this rare opportunity? I also looked at the comments on Zhang Yu's comics by readers on Japanese platforms. Most of them are positive! Bad reviews are only a small part of it. If we give up such a talented author just because of the clamor of some nationalists, it won't take too long, just the day this book goes on sale in Japan, we will regret it."

When Oda Kangping heard this, he nodded and said, "You are right! Maybe my idea is indeed a bit too outdated. But even if we can throw an olive branch, will Zhang Yu come over? I remember you. Didn't I say last time, Zhang Yu seems to be a little disgusted with the Japanese! You must know that although we in Japan have no shortage of angry youths, China has no shortage of them, even more than Japan. You want to win him over! Not necessarily so. Simple."

"Disgust is disgust! Money is money! In my opinion, there is no direct relationship between the two. Everyone is just using each other in business, and it is not meant to be brothers.

Although Japan's comics market has been sluggish in recent years, in terms of market size, it is still the largest in the world. Although China is big, the animation industry has just started, and it still has a long way to go to catch up with Japan in terms of market size. "

"And comic works have a golden period. If Zhang Yu doesn't take advantage of the most influential time now, to extract the most value, after a period of time, his attention will drop, and the value of his works will drop sharply. To put it bluntly, this It's just throwing money out there!"

"Even if Zhang Yu resents Japan again, he can't watch so much money evaporate out of thin air! As long as we can prepare early and let the other party feel our sincerity, I think there is no problem in buying out the distribution rights of Zhang Yu's works in Japan. Yes. And we do this, the starting point is just to save the company's stock price, as long as the stock price can be stabilized and has no greater impact on the company's later development, then the future can be discussed later. "

"Yeah! You're right. Then you can plan first... But you have to remember! The things you said are only things we will consider if Zhang Yu wins. If Hashimoto Ryuji wins, Don't say this. After all, the copyright of Hashimoto's works is very important to our company! If it is not necessary, we cannot force him to turn against the company."

"I see! That's right, father! Could you lend me some money?"

Oda Kangping was taken aback and said, "Are you short of money? What do you want to do?"

Oda Yusuke smiled and said, "I want to use it to buy our company's stock! You also know that if Uncle Hashimoto wins, our company's stock price will definitely rise slightly, and I will make a small profit by then. "

Oda Kangping smiled and said: "You think too much! However, what if Hashimoto loses? Don't you accompany the stock price to fall? I think you are still working hard, and the company will be yours sooner or later. ."

Oda Yousuke smiled and said, "Father! In fact, it would be better if Uncle Hashimoto lost! Then I will make a fortune. At that time, I can take the opportunity to short our company's stock, and when it falls to a certain extent, I will release Zhang Yuhui to join. Our company is bullish. The stock will definitely rebound sharply at that time! Maybe we will make money from buying out the distribution rights of Zhang Yu’s works in Japan at once!”

Oda Kangping was taken aback! He shook his head with a wry smile... It seems that his son has really grown up, and he is not far from the time when he can truly retire and enjoy happiness.
