Chapter 499
Chapter 493 Foreshadowing
BJ City, Lotte Headquarters, inside the editor’s office!
Looking at the report in front of him, Shi Jie couldn’t believe what had happened. He thought the “Hunter of the End”, which he thought would win this time, actually lost to Chen Ze in the end.
No matter how hot the early stage of “Hunter of the End” was, no matter how much resources I gave it, or even used factors outside of the comics, but in the end, it was defeated without any suspense.
This Chen Ze, is it possible that he is really a fairy, and he can actually come out of the scenes in the early stage of “Hunter of the End”!
Although it was not the first time, Shi Jieren felt a violent sense of powerlessness. As early as Chen Ze’s “Slam Dunk” began, he began to deal with Chen Ze, and every time he seemed to have driven Chen Ze to a dead end.
But every time, in the end, he was overturned by Chen Ze. This was the case before, but it is even more so this time. Especially this time, with “Dragon Ball”, Chen Ze increased the first day sales of “Manke Weekly” to more than 2.5 million.
This is the first day’s sales of 2.5 million. In the entire history of China’s comics, no one except Li Mingyang has reached this point. Now, Chen Ze has also achieved this step.
Shi Jieren looked back at the behavior he had done, everything was so ridiculous, so many resources were used, so many methods were used, and finally he was defeated by Chen Ze without any suspense.
Suddenly, Shi Jieren suddenly lost the motivation and confidence to continue to deal with Chen Ze. I have already done this, and even invited Wu Jiahao, the second person in a golden age, but was defeated by Chen Ze.
If you want to defeat him, it seems that unless you ask Li Ming. However, Shi Jieren really didn’t know how to invite him to such a legendary Chinese comic book whose pen was sealed, and who was destined to be the first person in the history of Chinese comics.
As early as when Chen Ze defeated Asakura Kyoka’s “Ninja City” with “Naruto”. Shi Jieren thought about asking Li Mingyang, let Li Mingyang overwhelm Chen Ze with a thunderous momentum, and revive the momentum of Lotte Society, but he was still rejected by Li Mingyang, who had already sealed his pen.
At that time he refused his invitation. How can I accept it now.
Thinking of this, Shi Jieren shook his head.
Squeak!
At this moment, the door of Shi Jieren’s room was pushed open. Shi Jie always pays great attention to the relationship between superiors and superiors, and has repeatedly said that when entering his room, he must knock on the door.
But now some people dare to come in without knocking on the door, thinking that they have failed in this matter of Wu Jiahao. Is there no prestige in the company?
Shi Jieren was a little annoyed, he was about to open his mouth to scold someone. After seeing his looks, he swallowed the words again.
The person here is a man with a little gray hair, but still very vigorous, especially his eyes. It seems to be able to see through the old man’s mind. This old man is about sixty years old. He is the legend of Huaxia Comics Magazine. Together with Li Mingyang, he created Zhao Chu, the chairman of the Lotte Group, who belonged to the Lotte Society era.
“Chairman, why are you here?”
Shi Jie stood up quickly, and in his heart, there were two people most admired. One is Li Mingyang, a legend in the comics industry, and the other is his chairman Zhao Chu.
Zhao Chu’s legend in the business world. Not in the same way as Li Ming. He was originally an employee of a state-owned enterprise, but when he was in his thirties, he gave up everything about the stability of a state-owned enterprise, went to the sea to start a business, and founded this Lotte magazine.
Back then, the post-season agency dominated the world, and the newly created small magazine had no way to survive at all. But in this case, Zhao Chu dug into Li Mingyang wisely, not only signed a contract with him, but also tilted all the resources of the magazine to his head like a gambling.
It was such a big bet that allowed his magazine to truly rise. Li Mingyang is under his support. With a talent that no one had thought of, Lottesha became famous with the huge sales of comics one after another.
The cooperation of the two people finally shook the status of the post-season agency of China’s No. 1 Comic Magazine at the time. The impact of the post-season agency on Lotte Club, coupled with its own management problems, collapsed. Lotte Club replaced it as the largest Chinese comics club, and it continues to this day.
Outsiders believe that without Li Ming, Lotte Club would never achieve its status today. But those who really understand the inside know that without Zhao Chu, Li Ming might not be able to achieve today’s status.
However, Zhao Chu is more than sixty years old, and has released the rights of the magazine as early as a few years ago, and concentrated on going home for the elderly. Therefore, Shi Jie never expected that he would actually see him in the company now.
“Why did I come here? Don’t you know what you did yourself? I came to wipe your ass.” Zhao Chu said, although the words are not heavy, they allow Shi Jieren to hear what is contained in his words. Down the anger.
“I gave you the magazine to socialize at the beginning, not to make you make the magazine so that a cartoonist can bully it.” Zhao Chu said while looking at Shi Jieren.
At that time, before he retired, he selected capable and loyal people from the company to take his class. He inspected for a long time and finally identified Shi Jie.
I thought that the magazine was already on the right track. Under Shi Jieren’s leadership, even if there was something wrong, with Lotte’s status, he would be able to tide over the difficulties smoothly.
Who could have imagined that a huge magazine would have repeatedly lost to a cartoonist, and even after the news of another failure came out, even Lotte’s stock price had been volatile and fell a lot.
In fact, the share price loss is nothing to Zhao Chu. It’s just that Zhao Chu saw a similarity in Chen Ze’s deeds.
It’s so alike, it’s so alike. This Chen Ze is so similar to Li Ming. It’s just that the role has changed. Chen Ze played the role of Li Mingyang back then, and his Lotte Club was the same as that of the post-season club.
The post-season agency of that year, after Li Mingyang appeared and repeatedly defeated the rivals of the post-season agency with his powerful comics, it eventually collapsed and his hegemony was transferred to his own Lotte agency.
The current situation is so similar. After Chen Ze appeared, he continued to defeat the cartoonists on his side with his manga talent. Moreover, the strength he showed was far surpassing that of Li Ming.
According to this situation, I am afraid that if I don’t intervene anymore, my Lotte Club will embark on the same path as the post-season club.
After considering these circumstances, Zhao Chu couldn’t help it anymore and came to the company.
“Chairman, let me explain. I didn’t do a good job about Chen Ze. But I promise that I will be able to solve this problem perfectly.” Shi Jie knew that Zhao Chu was because of Chen Ze. When the matter came, he said quickly.
“Next? Huh, will you continue to be slapped in the face by Chen Ze next?” Zhao Chu said, “Well, through so many things, I can also see that you are not suitable for us at the helm of Lotte Society, so you should go back and think about it. What else can I do by myself.”
As soon as Zhao Chu said this, Shi Jieren’s entire face turned pale. The thing he was most worried about all the time, finally happened. He was finally fired by Zhao Chu because of Chen Ze’s affairs.
“Listen to my explanation, Chairman, I have already figured out a way to deal with Chen Ze. I promise that this time will be successful Shi Jieren finally wanted to defend something, but Zhao Chu did not listen to him at all. The explanation, he commanded the security guard and pulled Shi Jie out.
At this point, the era of Shijieren of Lotte Club has come to an end!
“Lao Li, I need your help. The Lotte Club was brought together from the thorns and thorns to the point where we are today. Would you bear to watch it go the same way as the post-season club?”
After solving Shi Jieren’s affairs, Zhao Chu immediately made a call. This call leads to a villa on the outskirts of BJ.
“I didn’t expect that you would come to me and talk about this. I had promised me that you would never disturb me after I sealed the pen.” There was such a voice on the other end of the phone after a period of silence.
“I know that this time, even as a friend of more than 20 years, I made a request to you. I hope you can agree to this request,” Zhao Chu said.
“Well, that’s okay! This is also the last thing I did for Lotte Club after sealing the pen.” (To be continued.
