Chapter 632 Go International
Reach out and don't hit the smiling face.
Fukuyama has already done this, so there is no need for Wu Tao to be aggressive again.
Besides, after such a long time, he really couldn't get angry. It is better to raise your hand generously and calmly and say: "Ms. Shinohara, as long as you come here with the sincerity of cooperation, I believe that the two major magazines will join forces to make the comic industry go further on the road of internationalization." Far."
As soon as the words fell, Zhizi Xiaoyuan couldn't help clapping her hands.
Together with the surrounding people excitedly puffed up.
But Wu Tao also noticed that Fukuyama Oka and Shinohara Eko had lost their status. Eko Shinohara, who used to be an assistant, has now transformed into a talker.
Facing Wu Tao's hesitation, Wang Yongsheng stepped forward and explained: "Master Xiaoyuan is very sincere this time, and today we are reaching an agreement on some cooperation details."
"Very good, then you can continue talking." Wu Tao waved his hand and signaled, without any intention of interfering.
Afterwards, Wang Yongsheng and Xiao Yuan Zhizi returned to the editor-in-chief's office, and Zhao Li followed.
When Mr. Wang left, Wu Tao took a look and saw that the crowd around him hadn't decreased at all. Not only familiar people like Wenhui, Jiang Ran, Assistant Liao, and Xiaowei surrounded him enthusiastically, but even those employees who were not familiar with him also circled around him.
Separated him from An Rong, and made him feel less used to it.
"Okay, everyone go back to work, it's time to get off work later, be careful of being left behind to work overtime!" Wu Tao waved his hand, smiling with a kind threat.
Unexpectedly, someone in the crowd booed: "As long as the boss is here, we are willing to work overtime."
Wu Tao scolded with a smile: "This must be a lie, how can any employee yearn to work overtime?"
In the end, it was Wenhui who clapped her hands and dispersed the crowd, leaving only Xiaowei to accompany her.
Xiaowei's full name is Liu Wei, and now she is no longer a pretty receptionist, but a pretty supervisor. Of course, he is in charge of administration and human resources.
Wu Tao originally wanted to just sit around and wait for classmate Lili to finish, and then go home and cook together.
It's just that An Rong kept clamoring to visit, so Wu Tao had no choice but to accompany her.
As the leading comic book agency in China, the comic book industry is struggling to survive in the cracks. The industry space is small and the policy pressure is high, but there is still room for flexibility and escape within the magazine.
There are all kinds of pleasing posters posted everywhere, some are extremely large, some are small and cute.
Qin Yu in the star soul, holding a forty-meter broadsword, is like a god of heaven, and he is among them. In contrast, Luffy in Pirates, wearing a straw hat, is very close to the people.
No wonder An Rong wanted to visit.
As a result, it doesn't matter if you don't visit, but you will be shocked when you visit.
"When did the magazine expand to such a large scale?" It is now a four-story office building, which is far double the two-story office building that Wu Tao saw last time.
Liu Wei squeezed out a little resentment and teased: "It's not that the boss cares too little for us, otherwise why would you be surprised?"
On the contrary, Wenhui pushed her glasses, and explained calmly: "I remember when you came over last time, boss, the editor-in-chief had already planned to set up an overseas department. Now the overseas department is in charge of Jiang Ran, and the scale is not small. It mainly involves With the cooperation of the agency, it has been distributed and promoted in Southeast Asia.”
"...In addition, there is also the film and television department, which is promoting the production of the Star Soul movie and the TV drama of One Piece."
"...The Game Publishing Department was initially established, responsible for connecting with Tianxing Game Company, and jointly developing the field of domestic video games."
"...In addition, there is also the content review department. With the emergence of more and more comic works, the number of people in this department is also growing rapidly..."
Wu Tao nodded. The expansion and development planning around this comic was done very well.
Wen Hui said with a sigh of relief after talking about it: "It can be said that even if there is a sudden change in policy to attack the comics industry, our magazine is not afraid anymore. However, Mr. Wang still sent a joint working group to accompany The central competent departments work together to formulate norms, intending to guide the healthy development of this industry."
An Rong was so surprised that her small mouth opened into a big O shape.
She really didn't expect that a small comic agency could grow to such a scale that spans multiple industries.
This is really beyond imagination.
At least not what a high school student who has been studying hard all day can imagine.
Wu Tao sighed: "This joint work is very necessary. It seems that Jiang is still hot. Wang Lao can come up with this trick, which also saved the entire industry."
Speaking of this, Wen Hui almost wet his eyes.
In fact, in the past few years, as practitioners in the comics industry, everyone has walked on thin ice.
So the tone is also full of affection: "Not only that, over the past year, our agency has donated 36 Hope Primary Schools in the west, and an average of three Hope Primary Schools are established every month."
Liu Wei followed suit and nodded, "It's really not easy for us to leave, but the influence of the boss is also inseparable here."
These words immediately made people play a little bit.
Wu Tao couldn't help laughing and said: "Xiaowei, I don't have any bonus for you to flatter me like this."
"I mean it." Liu Wei tried her best to explain, but Wen Hui nodded in agreement and said, "Boss, she is right."
Wu Tao waved his hand, "I don't dare to take credit for this. I have seen all of your efforts."
An Rong interrupted and asked, "How's the sales volume of the magazine now? I haven't bought any issues for quite a while."
"The current circulation of each issue has exceeded 2 million copies, and the number of contracted cartoonists has reached about 500."
Wu Tao was also very proud when he heard this.
At least the national comic industry, which was hit to wither in the previous life, survived and developed under his own hands.
This can be regarded as benefiting the young people in the country.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Liu Wei couldn't help asking: "Boss, it's rare for you to come to inspect it. Do you have any guidelines or opinions on the development of our magazine?"
At the mention of this, Lian Wenhui looked over, as if listening attentively.
An Rong suddenly understood Wu Tao a little bit.
Being a boss is really not that easy. At least it would take a lot of brainpower to face the various problems of the employees under him.
Wu Tao paused, raised two fingers and said, "I think it should be done in two steps. The first step is to establish a firm foothold in the Asian market. At least in terms of the content forms of Japanese and Chinese comics, there is no way to distribute and promote them in Asia." problematic; as for the second step, it is to continue to expand its influence and go to the world."
"...At this time, the current form and content of comics will have limitations, and they may not be accepted by the West. Therefore, from now on, we must pay attention to supporting Western fantasy and fantasy works, such as Harry Potter. Kind of magical works..."
"Oh my god, boss, you actually know Harry Potter?" Wenhui was startled. Harry Potter has only been out for half a year now, and there is no Chinese translation yet. Let’s get in touch with a businessman for translation and Chinese manga adaptation..."
"You can have this!" Wu Tao immediately agreed, "Making money comes second. As long as it can inject new elements into Guoman and bring new inspiration, it will be worth it."
