Chapter 527 Friend Tokuma Rehabilitation

After lunch, Teresa Teng continued to go to PolyGram's office to discuss promotional matters, while Yin Jun went to the port area by car with the bodyguards.

Several bodyguards followed Yin Jun last night.

The teenager stayed overnight at Teresa Teng's house, and they also waited downstairs. This morning they also followed Polygram's office downstairs.

Yin Jun was a little curious, how they, who don't know much Japanese, can keep up with themselves in such a big metropolis as Tokyo.

He went to the port area, but not for fun, but to make an appointment with someone.

This person is Tokuma Yasukai who has been working with Yin Jun for a long time, but has not met yet.

Speaking of Tokuma Yasukai, to the Japanese, this is a person who can reach the level of Japanese rape, but to the Chinese, he is a very good friend.

Not only because Yasukai Tokuma is a member of the Communist Party of Japan, but also because he used practical actions to atone for Japan's heinous crimes decades ago, and it was from the heart.

For such a person, Yin Jun certainly respects him very much. Not only will he cooperate with him, but he will also pay attention to helping him treat his illness so that he will not only live to be 78 years old.

Yasukai Tokuma, who came out of the "Yomiuri Shimbun", did not start a company first, but cleaned up the mess of a newspaper office for a former colleague. After a few years, when he took care of the newspaper office properly, He started his own publishing and book selling business, so he changed the name of the company to Tokuma Bookstore.

Starting from Tokuma Bookstore, Tokuma Yasukai carried out a series of acquisitions, such as Tokuma Music Industry, which was renamed after the acquisition, then acquired the collapsed Daiei Film Company, and then acquired other newspapers to create a monthly manga magazine.

In a few years, Tokuma Shoten will propose a team from its own animation production team to establish an animation studio.

its name

called

Ghibli.

That is, the Ghibli of Hayao Miyazaki, the god of animation in the new era.

This has also become the most profitable subsidiary of Tokuma Bookstore.

But Tokuma Yasukai is also very interesting. He made a lot of money in Ghibli, but he didn’t spend much of it. Instead, he continued to support the creations of Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki. I don't know when it will be over.

But from another perspective, Tokuma Yasukai is also a very gentle and generous boss, which is no wonder why Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki, and Toshio Suzuki respect him so much.

Tokuma Kangkai is not only generous to the people in his own company, he is also very active, enthusiastic and generous to the TV and film industry in mainland China.

In the 1980s, the TV series "Blood Suspicion" and "Hunt" that fascinated Chinese people so much were imported by Tokuma Yasukai.

As a result, Chinese people have been fascinated by Momoe Yamaguchi and Ken Takakura for 20 years.

Several of Zhang Yaomou's films were also funded by Tokuma Yasuo, and the funds were very sufficient, allowing Zhang Yaomou to polish his own films.

Later, in order to reminisce about Tokuma, Zhang Yanmou specially invited Gao Cangjian to make a movie called "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles".

It's a pity that in the 1990s, the Tokuma Group, which was reorganized from the Tokuma Bookstore, was in trouble as Japan's bubble economy fell into trouble. Pay attention, the Tokuma series gradually faded out of Huaguo's film industry.

But Yasukai Tokuma still helps Huaguo films as much as he can. The Tokyo International Film Festival, where he is the chairman, often invites many directors from Huaguo, and Zhang Yumou is a frequent visitor.

It was precisely because of seeing Tokuma Yasukai's constant support for decades that Yin Jun gave Tokuma Yasukai the two pieces of fat exclusively sold by "Kirin Weekly" and the booklet.

Tokuma Yasukuai didn't care much at first, thinking that this was an opportunity for him to help the people of Huaguo, and he helped as much as he could.

But since the second issue, "Kirin Weekly" has exploded with unparalleled strength, defeating all the weekly, semi-monthly and monthly manga magazines in Japan.

The sales volume of each issue of "Kirin Weekly" is 4 million, with an average sales volume of hundreds of thousands of volumes per book. The monthly gross profit is 500 million yen, which almost immediately increased the profit of Tokuma Group by 40%. ——Although Tokuma Group’s stall is so big, in fact, it doesn’t make that much money, and many places still need to subsidize money to do it.

With such a large profit income, Tokuma Kangkuai can do more things he wants to do, and the company's operation will be smoother. Why don't you think he is not grateful to Yin Jun?

Yasuo Tokuma knew very well why Yin Jun asked him to act as an agent for sales, because the one who came to him was Chang Guangxi, an excellent artist he had met at the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

This shows that Yin Jun wanted to ask him for help because he was friendly to China. Otherwise, there are so many distribution channels in Japan, including the Asahi Shimbun Group that cooperates with Yin Jun. How could it be his turn?

Thinking that I was just helping the people of Huaguo with the mentality of redemption, I didn't expect that I would be rewarded so soon. It is true that doing good deeds will be rewarded!

Therefore, before Yin Jun came to Japan, when he called him to say that he would come to visit, Tokuma Yasukai paid great attention and made a lot of preparations.

For example, when Yin Jun arrived at the headquarters of Tokuma Group, he saw more than 20 people waiting at the door.

At the appointed time, I saw a young man and several people who were obviously bodyguards get out of the car. Yasukai Tokuma, who was standing in the front, strode over.

Tokuma Yasukai enthusiastically took Yin Jun's hand, and said loudly: "Mr. Yin, I am Tokuma Yasukai, welcome to Japan! Welcome to Tokuma Group!"

Tokuma Kokuai is short and slightly fat, but his voice is loud and full of energy, and he still speaks standard Chinese.

He is almost 60 years old, full of energy, without showing a trace of aging.

Yin Jun said very politely: "Mr. Tokuma, you are too polite, I am a junior, you should not come out, this kind of etiquette is too much!"

The boy speaks English.

When people from two different countries talk, they have very strict language etiquette.

Just like now, it’s not that Yasushi Tokuma can speak Chinese, and Yin Jun will follow suit. People respect you and be polite, so they speak your country’s language. If you directly use your own country’s language, it’s in It is very inappropriate and impolite in business communication.

Therefore, Yin Jun, who can't speak Japanese, can only speak English, expressing a kind of humility and respect.

"Hehe, my Chinese is pretty good. You can speak Chinese." Yasushi Tokuma just smiled when he heard that. "My English is actually not good. I'm still getting used to you speaking Chinese."

"Thank you, Mr. Tokuma." Yin Jun then spoke back to Chinese.

Yin Jun has no doubts about Tokuma Yasukai's Chinese level. This Japanese businessman who has been interviewed by Mr. Zhou has a good Chinese. Over the years, he has to go to Huaguo from time to time. Put it better.

"Let's go, let's go in." Tokuma Yasushi quickly pulled Yin Jun and walked towards the people at the door, "Let me introduce you to the senior management of our company."

Those who stood outside to greet Yin Jun were naturally not unknown members of the Tokuma Group, but all the branch managers of the group company.

Among these people, to be honest, most of them are unknown people, and there is only one Suzuki Toshio Yin Jun, the second generation of Animage monthly comics, who can be regarded as attractive.

Toshio Suzuki has not achieved much in the comics industry, but he is the producer of the Ghibli company, specializing in all kinds of chores for Hayao Miyazaki, and is one of the famous Iron Triangle of Ghibli.

The three giants of Ghibli, Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki, and Toshio Suzuki, are indispensable. It is they who created the myth of Hayao Miyazaki and made these cartoons move people's hearts.

It’s just that Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki are still working as their animation supervisors, and Hayao Miyazaki’s "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" comic series has not yet been submitted to the monthly Animage comics, and he has not known Toshio Suzuki.

The headquarters of the Tokuma Group is just an ordinary six-story building in the office area of ​​Minato-ku, Tokyo, and it is not very spacious.

In the past, they were not very top-notch in the chain bookstores and publishing industry, but now their reputation in Japan has increased greatly. Some people have even estimated that if the Tokuma Group continues to develop like this, they will become the most popular in Japan in at most ten years. Powerful publishing group.

Yasukai Tokuma didn't care too much about this kind of flattery.

Super giants such as Shogakukan and Shueisha have a solid foundation in Japan, plus some news media groups, his Tokuma Group wants to become the number one in Japan, unless it is luck and opportunity, it will not do it. .

Ke Dejian Kang Kuai is not a person who has no pursuit at all.

Especially when Yin Jun's "Kirin Weekly" was very popular in Japan, Yasukai Tokuma became more ambitious.

He doesn't want to be the number one in Japan, but he can still look forward to being the top three in Japan and continuing its glory for a hundred years.

This is also the most important reason why Tokuma Yasukai welcomed Yin Jun so solemnly.

At the same time, Tokuma Yasukai was still a little worried.

Because Qilin Culture's weekly comics and booklets did not sign a formal cooperation contract with Tokuma Bookstore, what was signed was only a contract for entrusted sales, and there was no deadline for exclusive sales.

In other words, in the past, Kirin culture had no foundation in Japan, so Tokuma Yasukai was asked for help, and the conditions given were also extremely generous.

It's different now. "Kirin Weekly" and its booklets are completely two golden hens. Which Japanese news publishing company doesn't want to get a share of it?

According to Tokuma Yasukai's knowledge, just last year, more than 20 publishing houses and news media groups in Japan went to Xiangjiang to visit Yin Jun, intending to seize food from Tokuma Bookstore.

Although Yin Jun has never agreed, Tokuma Kangkuai's heart is not safe!
