Bao Jiyi thought about it repeatedly and agreed with the conditions proposed by Shen Xin.

He knew that in the face of other high-level executives, he would have to break his tongue,—— since the inception of "Comic Future", no one had ever obtained a contract that could be serialized in different magazines at the same time, and Shen Xin was the first.

On the other hand, he was also dissatisfied with the current situation of Yishu culture.

Even if Comic Future is the first publication in China, so what?

In the face of an author of Shen Xin's level, "Comic Future" is helpless.

This negotiation with Shen Xin also woke up Bao Jiyi.

Why is the influence of "Comic Future" in the domestic comic industry higher than that of other comic platforms, and Shen Xin can still be so fearless?

There is only one reason, "Comic Future" has not opened the gap with other comic platforms.

The conditions that "Comic Future" can provide are available to other magazines, and after the gradual Internetization of comics and the D-version networking, paper magazines and single books have been seriously impacted, and "Comic Future" has little advantage.

First of all, there is a cost to a single line, and comics that can't be sold are negative equity. Secondly, even if some readers want to read genuine comics, paper magazines and single books, the access channels are too cumbersome compared to webtoons.

Most authors are still trying to make money, and if the income gap between authors is not widened, then it is possible for authors to choose any platform, which means that Comic Future is no longer as attractive to cartoonists as it used to be.

Then again, the author's income comes from the readers, and the readers are not stupid, and if you want the readers to buy it, you must have good works.

So, it becomes a cycle, and if it can't be broken, Comic Future will continue to decline, and eventually, it's no different from other magazines.

Why is Shen Xin's confidence so hard? After all, isn't it that other cartoonists can't reach his level?

Bao Jiyi must do everything possible to reverse the current situation and increase the company's revenue, and then find more excellent cartoonists, preferably one or two who can reach the level of Shen Xin.

But he also knows that cartoonists of this level are also very rare in District 11, and there are only a handful of cartoonists who can open the Huaxia, District 11 and Omi markets, and this kind of thing is not urgent.

The most urgent thing to do now is to solve the embarrassing situation of Comic Future and open up the gap between it and other magazines.

Bao Jiyi stayed up all night, and the next afternoon, he held an internal meeting of Yishu Culture and issued a series of appointments that shocked many people.

"Comic Future" magazine merged with the "Comic Future" app, Shang Haozhi was promoted to the head of the two departments, with Yu Chen, the editor-in-chief of "Young Future", as the editor-in-chief of "Comic Future", and Zeng Yue still the head of the app.

At the same time, Bao Jiyi also set a goal for the app, and in three years, the annual revenue of the app will reach 70% of that of "Comic Future".

After a series of personnel appointments, there have been great changes to "Comic Future", and Bao Jiyi's purpose is also obvious, that is, to find new revenue growth points, and their eyes are fixed on the app.

At the same time, Bao Jiyi also explained the next cooperation between the magazine and Shen Xin at the meeting. When they learned of Bao Jiyi's decision, the participants were indignant one by one and asked why they did this?

Teacher Shen gave two choices, first, to agree to his request; Second, he jumped to other magazines. What other conditions are discussed? There is no option to 'negotiate conditions'. Come, if any of you can make Mr. Shen give in, I will give him a triple salary. ”

There was silence in the meeting room, looking at each other in silence.

Shen Xin didn't even give Bao Jiyi face, and these people went for nothing.

Bao Jiyi saw the silent venue, and his eyes fell on Shang Haozhi again, "Lao Shang, hurry up and finalize Mr. Shen's contract, although we agreed, but there is no guarantee that there will be any blind magazine that contacts Mr. Shen, and when the time comes, if you lose the overseas copyright, you will lose a lot of money." ”

No one dares to guarantee the authenticity of Shen Xin's words yesterday, in case something happens, it will really be a big loss.

"Okay." Shang Haozhi responded.

“…… There are also electronic contracts for "Steel Forge" and "Chess Soul", which can be completed quickly. Now there are comics of "Steel" on the Internet, which has had an impact on the single book. Therefore, it is pointless for us to think about it, taking advantage of the popularity of "Steel" to see if we can bring some popularity to the app. You ask Mr. Shen for his opinion and see his opinion. Bao Jiyi glanced at the notepad in his hand and said the last item.

Duoman.com re-serialized "Y's", in the final analysis, it is also to rub the popularity of "Steel Forge".

Since they have the copyright of "Steel" in their hands, why don't they make good use of it?

However, once "Steel Refining" is serialized on the APP, the income of the single book will definitely be affected, so it is necessary to take into account Shen Xin's attitude.

"No problem." Shang Haozhi responded and wrote down the incident on a notepad.

"I'll give you the new contract later. In the last few days, you'll be busy, worry more about snacks. Bao Jiyi said meaningfully.

After the meeting, Shang Haozhi led Yu Chen to the editorial office and briefly introduced Yu Chen to all editors.

The merger of magazines and apps is not something that can be explained in one or two sentences, and there will be a series of operations in the follow-up, so he just mentioned it.

The editors looked confused, how to hold a meeting, and the editor-in-chief was replaced.

But now that the decision has been made at the top, they can only adapt.

As soon as he finished the introduction, Shang Haozhi's mailbox received three documents, which were the electronic contracts for the two comics "Steel Steel" and "Chess Soul", as well as the relevant agreements for the next work.

Shang Haozhi printed out the document, put it in the document bag, and glanced at Yu Chen, "Why don't you go to Teacher Shen's office with me later?" In the future, you will probably deal with him a lot. ”

"Teacher Shen? Ahem...... Okay, too. Yu Chen coughed, and asked Shang Haozhi in a low voice, "Is Teacher Shen easy to speak?" ”

"It's ok. Although Mr. Shen is sometimes more stubborn, he also has principles in doing things. ”

"Huh?"

"Teacher Shen will say anything in advance. As for whether to cooperate or not, both sides have the opportunity to choose. Just like this time, if Mr. Shen quietly chooses other magazines, wouldn't we lose even more? Shang Haozhi asked rhetorically.

"That's just as well." Yu Chen nodded, and had a good impression of Shen Xin in his heart.

He had met Shen Xin before, but he had no contact, and this was the first time the two had officially met.

Shen Xin is already standing at the top of domestic cartoonists, and Yu Chen is still under pressure to meet him.

Seeing that Shang Haozhi and Yu Chen were about to leave, Yan Fei was also struggling with whether she would follow her.

"By the way, Xiao Yan, don't go this time." Shang Haozhi turned his head to look at Yan Fei.

"Huh?"

Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, and before her brain turned around, she heard Shang Haozhi continue: "You contact "Young Leap", "Steel Refining" will resume next week, let them vacate the publication space, and send the translated original manuscript of "Steel Refining" to the other party. ”

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Yan Fei was overjoyed that "Steel Forged" could finally be re-serialized.
