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

Chapter 139: Can you tolerate Oda Shingo’s bad temper?
As a veteran who had worked in the workplace for a long time in his previous life, Oda Shingo naturally understood the old president's conspiracy.

Most of the people present looked at the old president with an understanding look worthy of an old man.

Not letting young cartoonists leave is like forcing them to take sides.

The young man will understand that the old president recommended him to be published in the regular journal, and he will remember it if the others are meaningful.

The first person who needs to express his objection should naturally be the vice president.

"Cough." Vice President Xiaoshan coughed lightly but did not speak.

Logically, his direct general, Hayato Hyakki, had been suspended because of a conflict with Oda Shingo, so he must stand up for his subordinates and express his disagreement.

But this directly pushed Oda Nobuo to the other side, and almost cut off the path of reconciliation.

"Let me tell you something." A director understood Xiaoshan's hint. The vice president was not in a position to speak directly so that the matter could be mediated.

The director glanced at Oda Shingo, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "The main issue of Jump has always been aimed at people of all ages. If Parasyte begins serialization, I'm afraid it will lead to criticism from the Education Committee and the Parent-Teacher Association."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Many people nodded.

Oda Shingo watched quietly, knowing in his heart that the old president's position was truly miserable.

A similar situation had also occurred in another world. In a well-known comics company, due to personnel changes and equity changes in the head office foundation, the original president was sidelined.

This situation has happened more than once, and it happened to two of the three giants in the comics industry! Although the president of one of the companies used his means to suppress it in time, capital games are indeed not uncommon.

Now there are similar signs in Qun Ying Society.

Changes in capital have always been the most direct cause of changes in power at the top of large companies. The party that controls the equity will naturally be unwilling to let the actual management rights remain in the hands of the original equity forces.

I happened to catch up with this period of change and became the focus of contention between the two sides.

Shingo Oda even imagined that if the main publication department had accepted the manuscript of "One Punch Man", he might have stood on the side of Hayato Hyakki.

This matter has nothing to do with justice, but only with interests. Those who say that only good people can be partners are just childish.

"I think Parasyte is a very excellent work, which can be seen from the online performance of the web department." Saburo Mikami talked about the number of collections and completion data.

The astonishing numbers make it clear to everyone that this is definitely a hit comic.

San Shang Saburo struck while the iron was hot: "Our Qunyingsha hasn't produced a hit comic for more than a year. Are you guys willing to..."

"Oh hey! What do you mean? Are you implying that our other departments are not working hard?" The director of the operations department suddenly interrupted.

Immediately, Saburo Mikami was besieged with words.

The parties started arguing.

Although the old president and Saburo Mikami were at a disadvantage, it was difficult to draw a conclusion at the moment.

But the old president suddenly said something, and the scene immediately quieted down.

“Vice President Koyama, if Parasyte might have the suspicion of crossing the line in its description, then if there is someone trustworthy who can take control…”

Benefit exchange!

The smart people present immediately understood what the old president meant!
The person who can be trusted is naturally the suspended head of the main magazine department, Hayato Hyakki.

What the old president meant was that he wanted to allow Hayato Hyakki to return to his post on the condition that "Parasyte" was serialized!

Many people nodded slightly, thinking that this might be a win-win operation.

In fact, it is not unacceptable to serialize "Parasyte" in this magazine. As long as it can exchange for enough benefits, such as the handling of the Hyakki Hayato incident is over and he can return to his position. Even Vice President Koyama's eyes lit up when he heard it and looked at the old president.

Their eyes met, and neither spoke for a long time.

Vice President Xiaoshan said a few words meaningfully: "President Fukada is very far-sighted."

Obviously, Vice President Koyama was very excited.

Once a Japanese company suspends someone, it is very difficult to reinstate him, especially when such a shady situation occurs.

Although it is unlikely that the old president would directly fire Hayato Hyakki, it is completely logical to transfer him to another department.

Even if Vice President Koyama made many efforts, it would take at least half a year for Hayato Hyakki to be reinstated. This is also the routine for handling shady public opinion incidents in Japan.

Several directors even exchanged

The old president proposed this condition for exchanging interests, and even Saburo Mikami agreed with it. He even nodded vigorously to Oda Shingo excitedly.

acceptable!

However, Oda Shingo narrowed his eyes.

transaction?

Using my work as a bargaining chip to exchange interests between both parties?
He glanced around the room.

The expressions of these middle and senior managers all relaxed, without any trace of the red faces and thick necks they had just had when arguing.

Everyone was very happy and it seemed that a deal that satisfied both parties was about to be reached!
A transaction that puts the hard work of comic writers on the scale of capital!
He didn't even ask the comic author whether he agreed or not!

Oda Shingo could even imagine:

Afterwards, the old president would say to himself earnestly: “This is a compromise that cannot be avoided. The game of capital is all about the trade-offs and exchanges of interests.”
Mikami Saburo would say to himself excitedly: [This is a precious serialization opportunity that the old president helped you get! Come on, you must cherish this opportunity!]
In Oda Shingo's mind, he even imagined Namikaze Yukaku writing at her desk and Fujido Kaoru working hard at her computer.

How many cartoonists are being used as bargaining chips in the exchange of interests between the top management of the cartoon company, and are even being manipulated by others? !
Cartoonists are workers and have the least say in front of capital?

Is this an acceptable trade?

They didn't even ask me, the person most directly involved? The person who worked so hard to draw the comics?

"Please wait a moment!" Oda Nobuo suddenly shouted.

The powerful words interrupted the trend where everyone was about to nod in agreement.

Everyone looked at Oda Shingo in surprise.

"I'm sorry, I want to ask you a question." Oda Shingo did not bow, but just nodded slightly.

"You guys have been discussing the serialization of Parasyte in this magazine, and at first everyone was arguing about their own opinions..."

"Then there was a constructive proposal, and everyone felt that it seemed to be in line with the exchange of interests between the two sides..."

"I'm afraid that in a few seconds, we will shake hands and happily reach an agreement..."

Seeing Oda Shingo talking non-stop like a machine gun, Sankami Saburo felt bad. He knew Oda Shingo's bad temper, so he quickly winked at him.

But Oda Shingo pretended not to see it, and asked slowly but forcefully:
"You guys are talking so excitedly, why...didn't anyone ask me if I agree?!"
