Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 261 I'm here to do the task

   On the fourth floor of the Dimensional Culture Co., Ltd., Tokuda Hidetori was sitting in Masui Takahiro's office with a worried expression.

   "President, in the future, are we really going to accept the command of any young man who hasn't graduated yet?"

   Masui Takahiro is no longer smiling: "I said it, you can't call me the president again! Tokutian-kun, let's go and get ready first. The president will come after the meeting on the 12th floor."

   "I don't know the future direction. What can I prepare? That Ueno-kun doesn't even have a clear logic in his speech..." Tokuda Hidetori muttered.

   Masui Takahiro frowned and said, "At least for the previous work of our STAR magazine, your duty, you have to sort it out?"

   "...I understand." Tokuda Hidetori nodded, but he didn't leave, and then asked, "So... Ah, Masui-san, what do you think about the Peach Fortune Gold that the president mentioned?"

   "What a mess." Masui Takashi sighed, "It seems that if you don't participate, you are not loyal enough. Any investment is risky, and it should be voluntary, right?"

   "That's the truth!" Tokuda Hidetori expressed his approval, "Then Masui-san is not going to participate?"

   "Because I just purchased real estate, there is no cash left." Masui Takahiro smiled, his eyes narrowed.

  The two were still chatting when Kazuo Yamamoto came over and knocked on the door: "Masui-kun, Tokuda-kun, the president will be here soon. The president invites you two to the conference room."

   Masui Takahiro and Tokuda Hidetori immediately returned: "Yes! Yamamoto-san!"

  The two looked at each other, and Tokuda Hidetori also returned to his office and began to pack up his notebook and pen, thinking about what to say later.

   As for the president Yosuke Ueno, they are not too cold. But for the president, Tao Dalang, the two of them had a 12-point spirit in their hearts.

   That is a young man who can deal with consortia like Sumitomo and Mitsui. At yesterday's meeting and during the dinner party at night, his bearing and conversation shocked them both.

   And it is self-evident that he will focus more on dimensional culture in the future: the dimensional culture of the publishing division of the software club and STAR magazine has just been acquired, and the internal forces need to be integrated.

   President Ueno obviously does not have this energy at the moment, so he will take care of himself.

   Masui Takahiro and Tokuda Hidetori were a little worried, those who were acquired and merged into the dimensional culture were of course the targets of suppression.

In the    conference room, Yosuke Ueno, Kazuo Yamamoto, and Kyousuke Naoe were already sitting inside.

   "President!" Masui Takahiro and Tokuda Hidetori went in and bowed first.

   Yosuke Ueno has been working hard to adapt to his role, and now he nodded calmly.

   Dalang told him that he has shares and that he is the president, so there is only one thing to consider: how to use these people well to achieve the goals of the club.

   Therefore, he himself is the actual superior, he can be humble, but not weak.

   Yosuke Ueno thinks this is a difficult measure, but fortunately he has his father's guidance and the advice of Kazuo Yamamoto, the former store manager.

   But when Tao Zhiming's voice sounded outside, he felt more at ease.

   "Yuyi-chan, are you still used to working here?"

   "...Hey, thank you for your concern, Mr. President..."

   Tokuda Hidetori's heart moved again, it seems that the president does have a good impression of Makino Yui.

   All five stood up, and after Tao Zhiming came in, they all bent down.

  The corporate culture and etiquette habits of Neon Club are so rigorous.

   "Relax a little." Tao Zhiming said, and sat next to Ueno Yosuke, "Everyone, let's start."

   Ueno Yosuke pondered for a while, and said, "Then, let's sort out the current situation of our club now."

   As Ueno Yosuke started to report on his homework, Tao Zhiming was also thinking about the status quo of dimensional culture.

After the    Iwasaki Kuranosuke Incident, the biggest gain is naturally the 15% stake in Sanyou Investment Bank, and the investment is 15 billion yen paid by the Iwasaki family.

With a 15% stake in Sanyou Investment Bank and the current relationship with Sumitomo during the honeymoon period, Tao Zhiming was able to use the shell of Sanyou Bank to try to enter the core media resource circle as the core club of the Neon Consortium. :Tokyo Television Station.

   This is an important step.

   If this step can be done, then the dimensional culture must also have enough strength.

   Another big gain in the Iwasaki Kuranosuke incident is: SoftBank's publishing division and Sumitomo's STAR magazine.

   Because Morijiro was directly killed by Iwasaki Kuranosuke, the Mori family stood on his side again, and the Mori family directly withdrew from SoftWing. This time, Sun Zhengyi just took advantage of the victory and pursued it. Although the battle is not over yet, the overall situation has been determined. With this power, Tao Zhiming also brought the resources of Sumitomo's NEC to Sun Zhengyi. Sun Zhengyi has been persuaded by him to cut off the publishing business and specially cooperate with NEC, which is vigorously developing personal computers. The reason for persuasion is very hard-core. NEC captures the entire Neon PC hardware market, and SoftBank can capture the entire software market and obtain the next round of financing from Sanyou Investment Bank, with the goal of going public.

   STAR Magazine is a kind of reward from Sumitomo for Tao Zhiming's great role in this incident. Tao Zhiming didn't expect that, he inadvertently joked that STAR magazine broke the news about himself and Tomizawa Risa, which made his classmates secretly discuss him for many days. Beichuan Atsushi directly said that since he wanted to open a bookstore and enter the publishing field, he simply sold give him.

  The price is touching, Tao Zhiming does not want it for nothing.

   Therefore, the current dimensional culture is no longer a small society.

  Although there is only one floor, it is the largest and most complete company in the company controlled by Tao Zhiming.

   I became a fat man after eating in one go, but the current dimensional culture has not been effectively integrated. After all, Yosuke Ueno's ability still needs to be trained, and Tao Zhiming told him to wait for him to return from Hokkaido.

   After listening to Yosuke Ueno, Tao Zhiming said: "In addition to what Yosuke said, I also recruited 30 new members in Hokkaido, and I will report to the club the day after tomorrow."

   This is sudden news, and the five people have different expressions for a while.

   "Yosuke has already told everyone about the future strategy of Dimensional Culture? Naoe-kun, please tell me your understanding first?" Tao Zhiming said quietly.

  Ueno Yosuke silently studied his method. He looked at Masui Takahiro and Tokuda Hideno, and saw that both of them had serious expressions, and they did not show any abnormality.

  In the new management, didn't Dalang let Naoe Kyousuke speak first because of his inner emotions?

"Yes." Naoe Kyousuke nodded, thought for a moment and said, "According to President Ueno's description, Dimensional Culture will be divided into Bookstore Retail Division, Publishing Division, Magazine Division, and Strategic Cooperation Department. Among them, Dimensional Bookstore's The goal is to become a leading chain bookstore in Neon, the publishing division will focus on the publication of novels and libraries, and the strategic cooperation division will focus on external resources for copyright operation and development. Finally, the reorganization of the magazine division, our Computer and software magazines were merged into "Game Dimension", "STAR Weekly" was renamed "Music Dimension", and a comic weekly "Comics Dimension" was added."

Tao Zhiming nodded: "Very accurate. Masui-kun, Detian-kun, the content editing direction of "STAR Weekly" is still entertainment, but it will focus more on the field of music, and it will not pay more attention to artists as in the past It's been rumored. This is out of the need for the development of the club."

   "Of course!" Masui Takahiro nodded and said yes.

"Dimensional culture is aimed at the youth and the future!" Tao Zhiming unified everyone's thoughts, "We are a new army in this field, and we don't need to compete with those long-established competitors in the strong field. Generations have a generation. Favorites, a bookstore with dimension culture, with the younger generation as its main customers, has its own environmental characteristics and product types. The magazine business department focuses on the three industries that young people love: games, music, and comics. ”

"Then comes the publishing business department. We want to create our own brand of novel library, and it is a novel type for young readers. NEWERA, let's create this light novel library first! Then, in the strategic cooperation department, we will discuss our novels, With the help of the cooperation and development of comics in the direction of animation, film and television, and games, Dimension Culture has become a new club that young people like most!"

   Masui Takahiro and Tokuda Hidetori feel unstoppable.

   With Shueisha in the past, the competition in the comics industry is already so fierce, is there still room for new ones?

   But Tao Zhiming has already started to assign tasks.

   "The bookstore retail business department is headed by Yamamoto-kun." Tao Zhiming smiled at Kazuo Yamamoto, "Yamamoto-kun, please."

   "I will try my best!"

"There are two bookstores now." Tao Zhiming said, "In addition to the Dimensional Bookstore, which has been renovated, Yamamoto-kun's original bookstore has also begun to be remodeled. First, use these two bookstores to make the Dimensional Bookstore a different place from other bookstores. !"

   Kazuo Yamamoto nodded vigorously. In short, he now has such a small stake in the dimensional culture, and he also serves as a minister. Looking at the president's idea is quite grand, the key is that he has the ability to do it.

   Besides, publicity seems to be his forte, so he won't be small, right?

  Tao Zhiming said to Naoie Kyousuke again: "The magazine business department, with Naoe-kun as the head, and also as the editor-in-chief of "Game Dimension"."

   Then, he looked at Masui Takahiro and Tokuda Hidetori, who were a little grim.

   Tao Zhiming knew what they were thinking.

   The most directly related to the two of them is the magazine business department.

   Now, the minister has been designated as Naoe Kyousuke, what about the two of them? There is only one "Music" magazine in total.

   Just listen to Tao Zhiming say: "Tokutian-kun, you used to be the editor-in-chief of "STAR" Weekly, and the editor-in-chief of "Music Dimension", you should be the editor-in-chief."

   "...Yes!" Tokuda Hidetori nodded, but out of the corner of his eye he didn't dare to glance at Masui Takahiro beside him.

   "President...manga or something, I don't understand..." Masui Takahiro took the initiative to speak.

   "I know." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "Msui-kun was the president before, so he is not suitable to be the editor-in-chief. In fact, the strategic cooperation department is more suitable for Masui-kun."

   "Strategic Cooperation Department?" Masui Takahiro was a little confused, "But... anime, film and television, games, etc. I also..."

   "So what do Masui-kun think about his position?" Tao Zhiming asked with a smile.

   Masui Takahiro sighed in his heart: "No... Please make arrangements with the president!"

  Tao Zhiming nodded: "The strategic cooperation department is very important. Now, the strategic cooperation department has just started, and there is one thing that needs to be done by experienced people."

   Masui Takahiro listened, but his heart was very uneasy.

"The second and third floors of this building have been opened up as a space for free creation of dimension culture. This free space for creation is prepared for the writers of our library and the cartoonists of the manga magazine." Tao Zhiming looked at Masui Takashi Kuan said, "We provide a free workplace, and some creators who are not yet famous may also need a place to live. Whether this free creative space can become a favorite home for these creators, I have to ask Masui-kun. "

   Masui Takahiro felt a chill in his heart, did he make himself a nanny and housekeeper?

   Is the drop too big?

Tao Zhiming then said indifferently: "On the board of directors of Sanyou Investment Bank just now, I have been elected as the president. At the meeting, the direction in which Sanyou Investment Bank can invest in TV Tokyo was preliminarily determined. The future of the Strategic Cooperation Department is very promising. Broad, we will have enough power to allow creators to not only get the income of the royalties. Authorize the production of animation, film and television, games, peripheral derivatives, these are the work of the strategic cooperation department. Because it is very important, I will first As the director of the strategic cooperation department, Masui-kun should be the vice-minister first.”

   Masui Takahiro felt even colder, even a little aggrieved.

  I won’t say anything from the president to the vice president. The point is, do I need to be suppressed so much? You actually came to train me yourself?

   However, when the president said this, he also implied a layer of meaning: if he performed well and was loyal, it would be possible for him to be responsible for this position that will control many external resources in the future with his qualifications as president.

   So he showed a look of joy on his face: "I understand! I'm very happy to have the opportunity to learn from the president!"

   "TV TOKYO?" Naoe Kyousuke and Yamamoto Kazuo couldn't help but be shocked.

   In any case, it is also one of the five private stations. Doesn't this mean that Dimensional Culture will have a very powerful external media resource?

   "That's right." Tao Zhiming said with certainty, "So, if our "Music" dimension is very good, we can't promote cooperation with TV Tokyo to launch music variety shows in the future. Understand? Tokutian-kun."

   Tokutian Hidetori's eyes were frighteningly bright: "Understood!"

Tao Zhiming nodded with a smile, and finally said to Yosuke Ueno: "The library of the publishing division is also very important. It involves finding creators, editorial management, publishing and printing affairs, and channel sales. Yosuke, you should take part in the publishing business first. The head of the department and the editor-in-chief of "Comics Dimension", please contact Naoe-kun, Yamamoto-kun, Masui-kun, and Tokuda-kun, and let's do it well. Among them, you are the youngest and the one who understands young people best. Likes. Remember, our library, the direction is the light novels that young people like to read."

   Ueno Yosuke nodded heavily: "I know!"

Tao Zhiming finally said: "Dimensional culture is a very important part of my strategy, gentlemen, let's work together. Then in addition to the bookstore and the two magazines that already have editing experience, in the matter of the library and the comic magazine, Strike first and capture the hearts of the creators. In this year, for the comics signed for publication and serialization, the signing bonus for each copy is 200,000 yen. This is the usual practice in the future. You must have your own standards. In addition, at the end of the year, the Dimensional Annual Awards will be held, with 5 light novels and 5 comics, each with a prize of 2 million yen!"

He looked at Yosuke Ueno and Takahiro Masui: "The 20 million yen prize of this Dimension Award is sponsored by my WanderDance. How can I use my contribution to make Dimension Culture quickly attractive to creators, it's you work."

"Yes!"

  …

   "Where's Dalang? Didn't you say take him home?"

   Ueda Xana looked blankly at his father who came home.

Ueda Masahiro was very distressed: "After the board meeting, the guy said that the work of dimensional culture needs to be carefully arranged. Isn't the president of the dimensional culture also your classmate? I am worried that his ability is not enough to control the current situation. . For good reason, so…”

   "...I see." Ueda Xana nodded, "I see."

Ueda Masahiro saw that she was just a little disappointed and returned to normal, sighed and said, "He is powerful enough, but after all, he has developed too fast, and there are several clubs that need to be managed, and there is indeed a lack of effective helpers. This is necessary. Time."

   "I understand." Ueda Xana showed a bright smile, "Then I'll go to the book first."

   She went back to her room, and Ueda Masahiro sat quietly in the living room.

   Seeing that Haruko Ueda brought tea for him, Ueda Masahiro suddenly sighed: "Unfortunately, I haven't tried to run any business since then, and I don't have any capable subordinates that he can trust with confidence."

   "Husband..." Ueda Haruko took his hand, "The Kenta thing is over, now...you can try it. Now that you are willing to teach others swordsmanship, do you want to...reopen the dojo?"

   Ueda Masahiro was stunned for a moment: "Dojo?"

   Ueda Haruko nodded earnestly: "From kendo, you can better see a person's character, right? Maybe you can cultivate very good talents?"

   This suggestion made Ueda Masahiro a little moved.

   But somehow, he wanted to hear Tao Zhiming's advice.

  Before you ask him, think about it for yourself, otherwise you will appear too incompetent.

   Ueda Masahiro thought of it late at night.

   When he heard the bell of the courtyard door, and saw Ueda Haruko welcoming Tao Zhiming in, Ueda Masahiro looked at him a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

   Tao Zhiming saw Ueda Haruko go to call Xana, and whispered to him with a smile: "Didn't you call me to do the task?"

   Ueda Masahiro suddenly broke the defense.

  I called you to prepare to cut you!
