Chapter 529: Friend Tokuma is happy

After lunch, Deng Lijun continued to go to Polygram's office to discuss publicity matters, while Yin Jun took a car with the bodyguards to the port area. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A few bodyguards followed Yin Jun last night.

The teenager spent the night at Teresa Teng's house, and they also waited downstairs, and they also followed to Polygram's office downstairs this morning.

Yin Jun was a little curious, how did they, who didn't know much Japanese, be able to keep up with themselves in a metropolis as big as Tokyo.

He went to Minato, not to have fun, but to make an appointment.

This person is Tokuma Yasukuai who has been working with Yin Jun for a long time, but has not yet met.

Speaking of Tokuma Yasukuai, for the Japanese, this is a person who can reach the level of Japanese rape, but for the Chinese, he is a very good friend.

Not only because Tokuma Yasukuai is a Japanese xx party, but also because he is atoning for Japan's heinous crimes decades ago with practical actions, and it comes from the heart.

Of course, Yin Jun respects such a person very much, not only to cooperate with him, but also to pay attention to helping him treat his illness, so that he will not only live to be 78 years old.

Yasukushi Tokuma, who came out of the Yomiuri Shimbun, did not start a company at first, but cleaned up the mess of a newspaper for a former colleague, and after a few years, when he took care of the newspaper properly, he started his own publishing and selling book business, so he changed the name of the company to Tokuma Shoten.

Starting with Tokuma Shoten, Tokuma Yasukuai made a series of acquisitions, such as the acquisition of Tokuma Music Industry, which was renamed after the acquisition, then the acquisition of the bankrupt Daiei Film Company, and then the acquisition of other newspapers, and the creation of his own monthly manga magazine.

In a few years, Tokuma Shoten will also propose a team from its own animation production team to set up an animation studio.

Its name

Called

Ghibli.

That is, the Ghibli of Hayao Miyazaki, the god of animation in the new era.

This has also become one of the most profitable subsidiaries of Tokuma Bookstore.

But Tokuma Yasukushi is also very interesting, he made a lot of money in Ghibli, but he didn't take much out of it, but continued to support the creation of Ghibli and Miyazaki, otherwise according to their work efficiency, I don't know when it would be over.

But from another point of view, Tokuma Yasukuai is also a very gentle and generous boss, which is no wonder why Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki, and Toshio Suzuki respect him so much.

Tokuma is not only generous to the people in his company, but also very positive and enthusiastic about the TV and film industry in China.

In the 80s, the TV series "Blood Suspicion" and "Pursuit", which fascinated Chinese people unwanted, were introduced by Tokuma Yasukuai.

As a result, the Chinese people have been fascinated by Yamaguchi Momoe and Ken Takakura for 20 years.

Zhang Yamou's several movies are also funded by Tokuma Yasukuai, and they are very sufficient funds, so that Zhang Yamou can polish his films.

Later, in order to reminisce about Tokuma Yasukuai, Zhang Yamou specially invited Ken Takakura to make a movie called "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone".

It's a pity that in the 90s, the Tokuma Group, which was reorganized by Tokuma Bookstore, couldn't take care of it as Japan's bubble economy fell into trouble, so there was no way to pay more attention to the film and television industry in China, and the Tokuma family gradually faded out of China's film industry.

However, Tokuma Yasukuai still helped Chinese films as much as he could, and the Tokyo International Film Festival, where he was the chairman, often invited many Chinese directors to go, and Zhang Yamou was one of the frequent guests.

It is precisely because he saw the various supports that Tokuma Kangkuai has not changed for decades that Yin Jun gave such two pieces of fat meat exclusive to "Kirin Weekly" and the single book to Tokuma Kangkuai.

Tokuma Yasukuai didn't care much at first, thinking that this was an opportunity for him to help the Chinese people, and he could help if he could.

But from the second issue onwards, Kirin Weekly exploded with unparalleled power, defeating all the manga weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly magazines in Japan.

The 4 million Kirin Weekly sold per issue, with an average of hundreds of thousands of copies per book, and a gross profit of 500 million yen a month, almost immediately increased the Tokuma Group's profit by 40%. ——Don't look at the stall of the Tokuma Group as big, but in fact, there is not so much money, and many places still need to post money to do it.

With such a large amount of profit income, Tokuma Kangkuai can do more things he wants to do, and the company's operation will be smoother, how can he not be grateful to Yin Jun?

As for why Yin Jun would find himself to be the agent of the sale, Tokuma Yasuai knows a lot about it, because the one who came to him was Chang Yuxi, an excellent artist he had seen in the Huhai Art Film Studio.

This shows that Yin Jun is thinking of asking himself for help because he is friendly to China, otherwise there are so many distribution channels in Japan, including the Asahi News Group, which cooperates with Yin Jun, where will it be his turn?

Thinking that I was just trying to help the Chinese people with the mentality of atonement, I didn't expect to have good fortune so soon, what a good deed is rewarded!

Therefore, when Yin Jun called him before coming to Japan and said that he was going to visit, Tokuma Yasukuai attached great importance to it and made a lot of preparations.

For example, now that Yin Jun arrived at the headquarters of the Tokuma Group, he saw more than 20 people standing at the door waiting.

At this appointed time, I saw a teenager and a few people who were obviously bodyguards getting out of the car, and Tokuma Yasukuai, who was standing at the front, walked over in great strides.

Tokuma Yasuai warmly took Yin Jun's hand and said loudly: "Mr. Yin, I am Tokuma Yasukuai, welcome to Japan! Welcome to Tokuma Group!"

Tokuma is relatively short and slightly fat, but his voice is loud and full of qi, and he still speaks standard Chinese.

He is almost 60 years old, full of energy, and does not show a trace of old age.

Yin Jun said very politely: "Mr. Tokuma, you are too polite, I am a junior, you shouldn't come out, this is too polite!"

The teenager spoke English.

People from two different countries have very strict language etiquette when they talk.

Just like now, it's not that Tokuma Yasui can speak Chinese, Yin Jun will follow and speak Chinese - people respect you, polite, this is the language of your country, if you directly use your own country's language, this is very inappropriate in business communication, it seems impolite.

Therefore, Yin Jun, who does not speak Japanese, can only speak English, which shows a kind of self-humility and respect.

"Hehe, my Chinese is good, you can speak Chinese." Tokuma smiled when he heard this, "My English is actually not good, and I am still used to speaking Chinese." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tokuma. Yin Jun then returned to Chinese.

Yin Jun has no doubt about Tokuma Kangkuai's Chinese level, this Japanese businessman who has been received by President Zhou, his Chinese is already good, and for so many years, he has to go to China from time to time, of course, he speaks better.

"Let's go, let's go in. Tokuma Yasushi quickly pulled Yin Jun and walked towards the people at the door, "Let me introduce you to the top management of our company first." ”

Standing outside to greet Yin Jun, it is natural that they are not nobodies of the Tokuma Group, but the directors of various branches of the group company.

Among these people, to be honest, most of them are unknowns, and only one of the second-generation eyes of Animage Manga Monthly, Toshio Suzuki, is quite eye-catching.

Toshio Suzuki didn't have much success in the manga industry, but he was a producer at Ghibli, specializing in all kinds of chores for Miyazaki, and he was one of Ghibli's famous iron triangles.

The Ghibli Triumvirate, Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki, and Toshio Suzuki, are all indispensable, and it is they who create the myth of Hayao Miyazaki and make these cartoons move people's hearts.

It's just that the current Takahata and Miyazaki are still working as their animation supervisors, and Miyazaki's "Valley of the Wind" manga serialization has not yet been submitted to Animage manga monthly, so he has not known Toshio Suzuki.

The headquarters of the Tokuma Group is just a small six-story building in the Minato-ku office area of Tokyo, and it is not very spacious.

In the past, they were not very good at bookstore chains and publishing industries, but now they have become so famous in Japan that some people have even estimated that if the Tokuma Group continues to develop like this, they will become the most powerful publishing group in Japan in ten years at most.

For such a killing, Tokuma Yasukai doesn't care too much.

Supergiants such as Shogakukan and Shueisha have a strong foundation in Japan, plus some news media groups, and his Tokuma group wants to become the number one in Japan, unless it is a great luck and chance, it is not engaged.

Kotokuma Kangkuai is not a person who has no pursuits at all.

Especially when Yin Jun's "Kirin Weekly" was so popular in Japan, Tokuma Yasukuai was even more ambitious.

He doesn't want to be the first in Japan, but he can still look forward to the top three in Japan and continue to be glorious for a hundred years.

This is also the most important reason why Tokuma Yasukuai came to welcome Yin Jun so solemnly.

At the same time, Tokuma was still a little worried.

Because Kirin Culture's manga weekly and single book did not sign a formal cooperation contract with Tokuma Bookstore, they only signed a contract for consignment sales, and there was no period for exclusive sales.

In other words, in the past, the Kirin culture had no roots in Japan, so I asked Tokuma Yasukuai for help, and the conditions given were unusually rich.

Now it's different, "Kirin Weekly" and its single book are completely two golden hens, which Japanese news and publishing company doesn't eyed it and wants to get a piece of the pie?

According to Tokuma Yasukuai, last year alone, more than 20 publishing houses and news media groups in Japan went to Xiangjiang to visit Yin Jun, hoping to steal food from Tokuma Bookstore.

Although Yin Jun has never agreed, Tokuma Kangkuai's heart is not very stable!
