"President Tanida, why are you here!" That night, the editor-in-chief and others who were about to leave work suddenly found that Naoyoshi Tanida had arrived at the magazine office of "Weekly Shonen Jump".

"Editor-in-chief Goto, come with me!" Tanida Naoyoshi said lightly, Goto Hiroki's heart tightened, he didn't know what was going on, and at the same time Tanida Naoyoshi shouted to all the editors who were still in the company, "Everyone stays here and continues to work, and you are not allowed to leave work without my order." ”

With just one sentence, all the editors had to stay and work overtime.

"Is there a comic called Yu-Gi-Oh found me this afternoon, and there is a Chinese man named Jia Yapeng, asking for this comic!" Tanida asked.

"You already know!" Goto Hiroki was taken aback, and then said, "But please rest assured, the president, that guy who doesn't know the height of the sky has been kicked out by me." ”

"Yes, you did kick him out and put him in my office!" Tanida Shangyi snorted coldly, and then threw the comic manuscript in his hand in front of Goto Hiroki and said, "Don't say anything, arrange it, next time I will serialize this comic, and treat it as a normal new serialized comic!" ”

"President, how can you agree to such a thing, which will ruin the reputation of our magazine!!" Goto Hiroki was taken aback and said with a shocked face.

"This is an order, Editor-in-Chief Goto! If you don't want to do it, I'll find someone else to do it for you! "Naoyoshi Tanida doesn't give him any chance to explain" The company wants to see this manga serialized, and the company also needs a net profit of 40 million yen, and the shareholders also need this profit, do you understand? ”

"I see!" Although Goto Hiroki looked sad and indignant, he still had to agree, even if he was the editor-in-chief, he was just a working boy.

"Can we serialize it in the next issue?"

"No problem!"

"Yo Xi!" Tanida Shangyi nodded with satisfaction, "You can inform all the editors of this news, I'm leaving!" ”

Tanida Naoyoshi came and went in a hurry, and in less than 5 minutes, Tanida Naoyoshi left satisfied, and Goto Hiroki, who had a gloomy face, appeared in the editorial hall and called all the editors to the conference room.

"Everyone, let's discuss, which one of all the comics should be cut in half?" Goto Hiroki said lightly.

"What? Waist slash comics? The editors were shocked, and one editor couldn't help but ask, "Editor-in-chief, didn't we decide when we had a meeting last time?" This issue of the magazine doesn't cut any comics, but still gives them a chance, why did you suddenly change your mind? ”

"That's not a question you should ask, just tell me, among the 18 comics now, which comic should be cut in half!" Hiroki Goto's face was not good, and the editors looked at each other.

These cartoons are in charge of their hands, and they will never be willing to propose to cut off the cartoons they are responsible for, which is irresponsible to the cartoonists.

"Takahashi, in the last batch of investigation letters, which manga was ranked last?" Since everyone is reluctant to say it, Goto Hiroki can only do it according to the rules.

"The last one is the manga "Sky Magician" (this is a fictional manga by the author)!" Takahashi Toshimasa said stubbornly, because he was responsible for this manga.

"Very good, let's cut him in half!" Hiroki Goto said.

"But the editor-in-chief, I have already promised the author that if he is given three more issues, he will be finished, and you will let him give the readers an ending!" Takahashi Toshimasa said with some excitement.

"It's okay to ......" Goto Hiroki was also about guilty, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But I can't serialize it in this article.,Transfer it to the supplement "Jump Giga" and serialize.,Anyway, all the manga that was cut in half is going there!" ”

"Jump Giga" is a supplement issued by "Weekly Shonen Jump", which has only one purpose, that is, it is generally used to test the popularity of new comics, or to give a magazine platform for the manga to be cut in half.

"Okay!" Takahashi nodded helplessly.

"So, let's review this manga and prepare to start serializing it in the next issue!" After Hiroki Goto finished speaking, he threw another manga on the table.

At this time, all the editors realized that the reason why Goto Hiroki was in a hurry to cut a manga in half was to make room for this new manga.

"Yu-Gi-Oh!" Seeing this dazzling name, Takahashi Toshimasa stood up abruptly, stared at Goto Hiroki and said, "Editor-in-chief, what's going on, have you forgotten the promise we once made?" ”

"This is the president's order, and I have no room to refuse!" Hiroki Goto smiled self-deprecatingly, "The price of 40 million yen has already been offered by the president, what can I do?" ”

"40 million !!" Takahashi Toshimasa sat down with a butt, this is really a price that capitalists can't refuse, in fact, even he, a literati, can't refuse such a temptation.

The other editors, who didn't know what was going on, looked at the two of them blankly.

"Well, here's the way it is!" Hiroki Goto briefly introduced the ins and outs of the matter, and all the editors were silent, and they felt that something was beginning to crumble.

"It's all spirited.,Let's take a good look at this comic.,See if it can meet the standards of serialized comics!" Goto Hiroki said helplessly.

"Do you need to ask? It must be impossible to meet the serialization standard, so this kind of indiscriminate means will be used! One editor said angrily.

"Editor-in-chief, if we don't meet the standards for serialization, or even if the quality is seriously failing, then will we still serialize?" Another editor asked.

"If it's not up to par, change it!" Hiroki Goto smiled bitterly, then added, "Let's change it for him!" ”

"......" all the editors are really speechless this time, to be able to make "Weekly Shonen Jump" to such a point, the power of money is really irresistible!

But soon, to the surprise of all the editors, when these editors seriously read the whole comic, they were surprised to find that except for the art style, which is still a little immature, all the other content is surprisingly good, and can even be described as perfect.

Even Hiroki Goto, the editor-in-chief, couldn't help but widen his eyes after reading the entire manga seriously for the first time, and his expression was very complicated.

"Everyone, please give your opinion!" Hiroki Goto put down the manga in his hand, looked at all the editors in front of the table and said, "If you have any comments to revise, please mention them."

As a result, the entire conference room was silent, and not a single editor spoke.

It's not that they don't dare to speak, but they can't find anything to modify except for the painting style.

"Ahem, then now, please all of us according to the strictest review standards of the serial meeting, without any prejudice, to review this comic, if you think this comic is eligible for a new serialization, please raise your hand!!" After Hiroki Goto finished speaking, he looked at everyone in the conference room.

Toshimasa Takahashi was the first to raise his hand, he was the first person to read this manga, and after repeatedly recalling the plot of the manga, as a professional editor, his intuition told him that this manga would definitely be popular.

Gradually, many editors raised their hands one after another, and finally all eight editors in the entire conference room, including Hiroki Goto himself, raised their hands.

"Yu-Gi-Oh", a manga that cost 40 million yen to buy for serialization qualifications, actually passed the review meeting smoothly, and it was also a serial review meeting that was unanimously approved.

Seventy or eighty percent of the comics that were able to achieve this kind of achievement in the future will become the backbone of "Weekly Shonen Jump", and the manga can be completed normally!

"Whew, it seems that we don't have to act with a clear conscience!!" Goto Hiroki suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

I can't imagine that the quality of this comic is surprisingly good, although some of it is not in the right way, but it will not hurt the reputation of "Weekly Shonen Jump", and maybe it will even become popular in the future, becoming one of the pillars of the stage, how can there be such a magical plot and things in the world!

And more importantly, in this way, you don't have to act with a conscience, everyone's personality and position as an editor are still there, and everyone is still a qualified cartoonist!!

Goto Hiroki began to express sincere joy, and even had a little love for this "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga for some reason.

"However, since the quality of this manga is already qualified, why does the other party have to pay 40 million yen? Isn't this a clear waste of money? An editor said puzzled, he couldn't understand, obviously it is an excellent quality comic, why do you have to take such a crooked path, is it really just to serialize a few weeks in advance?

"It's copyright, it's all for copyright!" Takahashi Toshimasa said lightly, "I've seen the guy who paid the money, it was a guy with shrewdness in his eyes, he couldn't spend this money in vain!" ”

"His purpose is very simple, he just wants to get all the copyrights of "Yu-Gi-Oh", if you go through the normal serialization procedure, then all the copyrights of this comic will be in our hands, and if he wants to get all the copyrights in the future, I'm afraid it will take hundreds of millions of yen to buy."

But he didn't want to lose our manga platform "Weekly Shonen Jump", which has the most readers in Fuso, so even if he spent 40 million yen in advance to buy all the rights to a manga released on "Weekly Shonen Jump", it was actually not a loss-making deal. Add to that the outstanding quality of the manga "Yu-Gi-Oh", and it might be a lucrative deal! Takahashi Toshimasa said expressionlessly.

In fact, at this moment, a lot of things in Takahashi Toshimasa's heart collapsed, and he found that everything else, whether it was persistence or integrity, was fake, and only interests were things that people couldn't refuse!

"Remember, you know what happened today, and you are not allowed to leak it to anyone, otherwise everyone will not want their reputation!" Goto Hiroki finally added that this is the most critical sentence
