Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 322: Big Boss Level Treatment

Shingo Oda was handing out gifts in the Spring Bookstore's headquarters building, almost like Santa Claus.

If an ordinary cartoonist did this, it would be a bit rash.

But this is Oda Shingo, and no one thinks there is anything inappropriate about him. Instead, they feel that even after becoming rich, he is still able to be friendly to the lower classes, and is a strong man who can maintain a peaceful mind.

As long as you are strong enough, everything you do is right. This is the inertia of thinking that is deeply rooted in the bones of the Japanese.

What's more, most cartoonists, even if they have achieved success such as publishing a single volume, would never think of sending gifts as a token of consolation.

In the eyes of most people, cartoonists are paranoid and out of touch with society and do not understand the ways of the world.

In other words, only crazy people would choose a job where the chance of success is less than 0.1% and where the work is so hard that one could die suddenly at any time.

Many people from Spring Bookstore came out to see Oda-sensei, after all, he is a famous figure in the comics world known as the Big Devil on the Internet.

"He's very handsome."

"He is such a good guy that he thought of giving me gifts after he got rich."

Many editors gave very objective comments.

However, many editors took the initiative to build good relationships.

“We’ve all heard that GANTZ is going to be adapted into a live-action movie!”

"Congratulations, Mr. Oda!"

"Si Guoyi!" As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was the young female editor.

The voice was quite soft, as if she wanted to bring out the charm of a woman to the extreme.

A female editor immediately ran to the bathroom and put on her makeup before approaching Oda Shingo.

There was even a young female administrator who was so proud of her good looks that she quietly unbuttoned two buttons on her collar and tightened the hidden belt around her waist so tightly that she was almost suffocating, before coming over to flirt with Oda Nobuo.

It's just that Oda Shingo was surrounded by Fujido Kaoru and Namikaze Yuzuru, so the young female editors and female administrators pale in comparison, and most of them gave in without saying a word.

"Mr. Oda, I am your loyal fan! I have read every comic several times!" However, there are still some people who are not tactful and insist on coming over to talk more with Oda Shingo.

Oda Shingo responded with a very standard smile.

However, after taking a glance, Fujido Kaoru picked up Yuko Mikami who was behind her.

"Who do you think she looks like?" Fujido Kaoru asked jokingly.

Yuko Mikami was quite embarrassed.

Could it be...

Many editors had vaguely guessed it, because everyone had long been paying attention to Oda Shingo Studio and knew that a female cosplayer had joined.

The brother of this female cosplayer is said to be Saburo Mikami, the current head of the main publication department of Spring Bookstore.

Finally, one or two female administrators reluctantly gave up and stopped harassing him.

"You're quite resourceful." Namikaze Youzuru whispered to Fujido Kaoru.

Fujido Kaoru said that it was easy to handle, she flicked her hair and snorted, "It was a bloodless battle."

"Ah! Shingo! Why are you here?" Before they reached the elevator door, Saburo Mikami and Assistant Okita had already come down.

Soon, almost everyone in the building came out.

Oda Shingo really became the role of Santa Claus and started giving small gifts to everyone.

Of course, there are different levels. Generally, people who are not familiar with them only give ordinary gift boxes. But Sansaburo Mikami gives higher-end gifts. Assistant Okita, who is an acquaintance and has served as a driver several times, is also of high quality.

Oda Shingo had something to discuss, and after making his attitude clear, he asked Fujido Kaoru and Namikaze Yuzuru to directly hand over the small gifts to various departments for distribution.

Saburo Mikami took them to the top floor conference room.

In the elevator, Oda Shingo asked, "Is the president here?"

"Unfortunately she's not here. Can I help you make an appointment with her?"

"It's okay, I just came here for a walk." Oda Shingo just expressed his thoughts to Mikami Saburo.

Some ideas are better conveyed by someone else. For example, if he wants to increase the number of pages, if he asks the president directly, it would be difficult for Haruta Sadako to refuse in person if she doesn't want to agree.

Therefore, having Saburo Mikami take over the position provides some room for buffer.

Oda Shingo suddenly remembered and teased, "Hey? Saburo, how are things going between you and Minister Kono? Can you forward this one for her?" "Sure." Saburo Mikami took the two copies without hesitation.

"How far has it progressed? How many bases have you hit? Have you hit any home runs?"

"Cough, what nonsense are you talking about." Saburo Mikami coughed lightly.

My sister is behind you and you are asking me this to my face.

Oda Shingo smiled.

However, Fujido Kaoshige quietly glared at Oda Shingo.

You are a piece of shit, and you still have the nerve to ask others?

In the conference room, Oda Shingo and Mikami Saburo talked for a long time and reached an agreement on how to divide the spoils and profits on how to carry out peripheral licensing.

Shingo Oda was too lazy to care too much. As for the authorization of physical peripheral products, it would be better to go through the agency of Spring Bookstore Co., Ltd.

Then the focus was on increasing the page numbers for each issue.

San Shang Saburo expressed his great happiness, but just reminded him not to tire himself out, especially not to tire his sister out...

"By the way, you only have three assistants. Is that enough? I happen to have some new assistants here. You can choose from them."

Saburo Mikami went to the editor-in-chief and sent a stack of resumes.

Listing means leaving your resume with the editor, chief editor, etc. It is the professional resume of a part-time cartoonist assistant, similar to submitting a resume. Many cartoon companies also have the function of introducing assistants to their cartoonists.

Since comics companies cannot have a professional marketing function, cartoonist assistants cannot be paid agency fees after they are hired.

But according to industry practice, cartoonist assistants will buy some gifts to give back to the cartoon club staff. The price is usually two days' assistant salary, about 20,000 yen.

Some people express their willingness to work for free in order to draw for famous cartoonists so that they can improve their skills and develop independently in the future. Some even send gifts to editors in advance in the hope of receiving special recommendations.

After all, this is an era of interest exchange, so it’s not shameful.

There are also some assistants who really don't understand this rule. After being hired once, they don't give any return gifts, so they often don't get good jobs for years, and they can't even tell where their practice form is.

Oda Shingo picked up the new entry form and took a look at it.

The women including Namikaze Youhe looked solemn.

He looked at one of the watches in surprise: "Genreiko? She's not in Gouda Studio anymore?"

She was Reiko, the female assistant under Takeshi Gouda, who had previously lent money to Shingo Oda.

Mikami Saburo recalled: "Goda Takeshi has been on hiatus for too long, and his assistants should have been dismissed."

Oda Shingo put down his resume and said, "My studio is not big, and I like quietness. Even if I am looking for a female assistant, I am not going to call her into the studio. Can you help me arrange an agent for the studio?"

"Oh?"

Shingo Oda introduced the concept of the Earth Agent Assistant Studio.

It’s just that some cartoonists are not used to having assistants around them, so some people set up agent assistant studios to provide remote assistant services for big-name cartoonists.

"This did have a similar prototype." Saburo Mikami was somewhat interested.

This is similar to labor dispatch, where some assistants are also under control, but some management fees are charged.

It's capital, nothing to be ashamed of.

Oda Shingo came up again and took some details before saying goodbye and leaving.

Saburo Mikami personally saw him out the door.

When I went downstairs, almost everyone from every department came out to see me off.

"You have worked hard."

"Thank you for the gift, Mr. Oda."

"Congratulations, Mr. Oda. Thank you so much."

There were people seeing us off at almost every door we passed.

Even Oda Shingo, who had been a big boss in his previous life, was a little flattered.

With Spring Bookstore ranking among the top three, his single books sold out, his works authorized for various adaptations, and especially with the support of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Oda Shingo has become an industry tycoon that everyone looks up to.
