Started as a comics editor

Chapter 9 Starting a Business…?

finally.

Most of the lunch box in Li Xue's hand was eaten by Tang Yao.

no way.

She was confused by the feeding from the mature older sister.

"Are you really full?"

Tang Yao ate the last small piece of bread, then turned to look at Li Xue, who was packing her lunch box next to her and said, "Give it all to me, okay?"

"I'm full. Actually, there's always leftovers. It's just right for you to help me out."

Li Xue shook her head, covered the lunch box, and replied, "Besides, I want to lose weight."

"Why are you losing weight with this figure?"

Tang Yao looked up and down at the tall and striking lady in her professional suit: "You're just creating anxiety for yourself... Here, water."

As she spoke, she handed over one of the bottles of green tea.

"By your standards, it does create anxiety."

Li Xue looked at the girl next to her who looked very youthful and had a curvy figure that seemed to have no flaws at all. Then she looked down at her chest, her waist, and her arms, then she sighed.

In fact, she is not fat at all, but her opponent is too outrageous.

"..."

the other side.

Tang Yao ignored her. What did a good figure have to do with her? It wasn't like she wanted it to be that long.

She also thought it was too much trouble, okay? Her shoulders were sore after running all day...

"I heard you and your editor-in-chief had another argument?"

Li Xue was also used to Tang Yao's secretive attitude about her figure, so she unscrewed the bottle cap, drank a sip of green tea, and changed the subject.

Tang Yao nodded and asked puzzledly, "Well, but it clearly happened this morning, how did you know so quickly?"

“Because everyone is paying attention to you.”

Li Xue looked at the fair profile of the girl beside her and explained, "After all, topics related to beautiful women are always popular. Also, the news that a troublemaker has arrived in the Big Comic editorial department and is constantly arguing with the editor-in-chief is also very popular."

"So free?"

Tang Yao sighed, then said helplessly, "But to be honest, I really can't stand that Editor-in-Chief Ding. He has no idea what's going on. Sales, sales, sales. Improving the quality of comics will increase sales. Doesn't he understand such a simple principle?

I asked him to contact Mr. Ou, and he told me what impact a one-week suspension would have.

No, if you value the other person so much, why do you need an editor? Just put a piece of wood on my workstation.

And the following remarks were even more outrageous. He asked me to drink with him? If I hadn't considered the impact, I really wanted to punch him. "

Speaking of which.

Tang Yao frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with her boss.

"I've always said that people like that will turn into demons when they encounter something that directly affects them. After all, you can't get a position in a big company like this just by flattering others. You either have to rely on nepotism or be able to bring real benefits to the company.

Your editor-in-chief Ding falls into the latter category. Although I personally dislike his methods and his approach is no longer applicable, people tend to be path-dependent, and he has indeed been successful.

Li Xue shook her head slightly. "It's too difficult to change someone who still holds on to old-fashioned ideas. So, I say it again. Xiaoyao... come to my department."

Tang Yao didn't answer, but asked with interest, "You mean, when Ding Yilong was the editor, there was a cartoonist who achieved great success when he completely let him do what he wanted?"

"Yes, that's the Rumi-sensei who's currently serialized in YOUNG comic."

"……No wonder."

Even though Tang Yao had only been in this world for a short time, she had heard of this name.

Because this teacher Rumi can be regarded as the Eiichiro Oda of a parallel world.

Li Xue asked again, "So, you really don't want to consider transferring to my department? Even if you just want to get by, it's easier to get by here. After all, I'm the deputy editor-in-chief."

"Ms. Li, I really don't understand shojo manga... If I'm just trying to get by, I'd look down on myself, not to mention you." Tang Yao thought for a moment and said seriously, "Besides, it would be unfair to you. After all, it's hard to make friends, and I don't want to give you the impression that I'm just living a lazy life."

"..."

Li Xue opened her red lips slightly, wanting to say something, but the words couldn't come out because she suddenly realized that she seemed to like this about Tang Yao.

If she really becomes like someone waiting to be fed... well, that seems not bad... No, that's not good.

Tang Yao continued, "Also, I want to move up the time of my resignation."

When Li Xue heard this, she immediately pulled herself out of her daily fantasy of feeding Tang Yao: "Is it because of the comic award?"

"No, I've already resolved that matter. The main reason is that I'm so disappointed with Editor-in-Chief Ding. He probably won't even read the manuscript. He's so arrogant that it's disgusting. If I work under such a person, the conflicts will definitely escalate.

Besides, I discovered a talent and something very important.”

"Ah? Solve it?"

Li Xue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Yao in confusion: "Talent? Have you found a replacement cartoonist?"

"No, I'm talking about a man who nearly landed himself in jail for running a gaming platform."

Tang Yao thought of the young and bald Kang Ming. "And surprisingly, there's now a cloud server rental service. Although the cloud is likely to have a lot of bugs at this point, it will definitely get better in the end. Maybe it can actually be used for gaming."

Tang Yao remembered that in her previous life, the servers for all of MiHoYo's games were on Alibaba Cloud.

"???"

Li Xue didn't understand.

Weren't we talking about comics? Why did we end up talking about cloud computing and games?

What else does it mean that the battle platform almost put itself in jail?

"to be honest."

Seeing Li Xue's expression, Tang Yao blushed and said, "Ms. Li, I want to start a business."

"Ah? So sudden..."

Li Xue widened her beautiful eyes slightly, somewhat unable to follow Tang Yao's train of thought.

"The main thing is that this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Tang Yao gently fiddled with the green tea on the table and explained softly, "Especially mobile games. I feel that if they are done well, they can instantly complete the original accumulation of capital and quickly dispel my sister's doubts."

"Mobile games, you mean those crude, obscure little games? They probably won't make a lot of money. There are only a few that really stand out. One seems to be a parkour game, and the other is called something like Little Bird Fly."

Li Xue carefully observed Tang Yao's expression and found that she seemed serious. Her expression gradually became serious and she advised, "This isn't a field where you can easily make money. On the contrary, I heard that online games are very popular. Recently, the boss of a company became the richest man. But that is already a completely red ocean."

"I know.."

Tang Yao was not surprised by Li Xue's reaction.

Because at present, it is really hard to believe that mobile games can make money.

Don't look at Tang Yao like this, she has actually investigated this world.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a big shock.

Although the domestic territory has expanded greatly compared to the previous life, the development path is indeed somewhat similar, except that there are some industries that were not so popular in the previous life, such as the comics that Tang Yao is doing now.

The current time point in this world is a bit like the time when traditional Internet and mobile Internet were switching in Tang Yao's previous life.

4G has been launched, and smartphones have quietly begun to occupy the market, but major Internet companies still habitually turn their attention to the networking of existing industries, such as housing, restaurant ratings, etc., and of course, there are also the online PC games that are making huge profits and making people jealous. As for stand-alone games... well.

As for the mobile side, it is still in the upright era, which is the era when games like Fruit Ninja were popular in the past. The games that Miss Li Xue just mentioned are similar mini-games.

In fact, at this stage, I guess some people should have noticed the upcoming trend of mobile Internet.

But at least so far, there has been no decent product.

So, isn't this a gold mine?
Although there is a probability of failure, Tang Yao really feels that she can make money in this business... at least there will be no problem in completing the initial primitive accumulation.

This is also the most reliable and fastest way she can think of to make her first pot of gold.
