"Bang! Bang! "
Close to the mountain wall, Akabane could hear the sound of hammering iron through the stone.
Not long after, a man hurried over. He was the factory director here, and also the general manager of this factory. He recognized Tsunade, but he was a little wary.
Obviously, Tsunade had a great reputation here, and most of it was negative.
Akabane took a step forward, took out the token and handed it to him, and said: "Hello, my name is Kurama Akabane, Tsunade is just helping me to lead the way."
"Saddle horse?"
He froze for a moment, reached out to take the token and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he solemnly returned it to Akabane, and then introduced himself, "My name is Yamano Izumi, the factory director here."
"Mr. Yamano, I came to you to ask you to help print a book."
Akabane took out the first volume of Naruto manga and handed it to Yamano Izumi.
Drawing?
Yamano Izumi was suspicious and took a look at the comic book.
Different from the previous rough hand-drawn version, the cover of the real first volume is very exquisite, which can be said to be Akabane's current highest level.
At first glance, he felt very surprised.
"This … What is this?"
He thought it was incredible, different from ordinary novels, but it was also a very interesting story – no, it was better than a novel!
"Hey, uncle Yamano, this is called manga."
Tsunade poked his head out and said.
"Manga?"
Yamano Izumi turned a page, and then looked at the second page …
After a long time, he excitedly and regretfully closed the comic book.
He was just an ordinary professional who was proficient in blacksmithing and casting. The world of Ninja was very far away for him, but he could feel the magnificence of the world of Ninja just by reading two sentences.
"Ninja … Alas, if it weren't for my lack of aptitude, maybe I would be a Ninja now."
Yamano Izumi looked bleak and sighed.
Akabane smiled and calmly called out the system interface.
It increased by 1 point!
"That is to say, ordinary people will get points if they read it!"
Akabane thought excitedly.
Although Yamano Izumi only gave 1 point after reading two sentences, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Moreover, ordinary people are the largest population. If the quality is not enough, then the quantity is enough. Even Hokage can't compete with the vast sea of people in terms of contribution points.
"I was just lamenting. Sorry. So, Pomma classmate, is this the manga you want to print? "
Yamano Izumi asked.
"No, it's not just this one. There will be more comics in the future, so I don't want Mr. Yamano to help me print it for free, but I plan to reach an agreement with Mr. Yamano to cooperate with him."
Akabane said seriously.
He knows that his image is just a child, and it is inevitable that he is not persuasive in this respect. He can only try to persuade Yamano Izumi with his expressions and works.
If Yamano Izumi hadn't read the manga, maybe he would have scoffed, but now he had to think deeply about the cooperation mentioned by Akabane.
Would this kind of comic be profitable?
He didn't know!
Yamano Izumi was very clear that the market for new things was very vague. Those benefits could not be seen at all. But after reading the manga, he felt that this thing had a very terrifying attraction. People could not help but want to read it.
Perhaps this thing could really become popular.
He thought carefully for a moment, and then asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"
"I know that the factory is not Mr. Yamano's alone, so I have two plans here. One is that I will give you a fixed remuneration, and you will be responsible for printing it for me. The other is that I will give you 10% of the income of the manga as remuneration."
Akabane gave two plans and let Yamano Izumi choose.
"This … I need to discuss it with someone else."
Yamano Izumi hesitated. He became the factory director because of his excellent blacksmithing skills and a little bit of intelligence, but this kind of business problem is beyond the scope of his knowledge.
"I understand very well. Please help yourself. If you need, you can take this manga with you, but the premise is that you can't damage it."
Akabane smiled kindly.
Yamano Izumi nodded and carefully put away the manga book.
This book is related to the printing workshop, so he mainly asked for the opinion of the person in charge of the printing workshop.
Tsunade watched and did not express her opinion.
When Yamano Izumi left, she asked, "Why don't you just use the remuneration method?"
"Of course, a fixed remuneration will let me take advantage of it, but what if my manga becomes popular in the future?"
Akabane asked lightly.
He didn't finish his words, but he believed that Tsunade could understand his meaning.
Sure enough, Tsunade pondered for a few seconds and quickly said, "I understand. Human nature is greedy, but this is really your style …"
What is Akabane's style?
Simply put, one word — lazy!
He was too lazy to deal with these people making trouble in the future, so he put out the two plans at the beginning and let these people fully understand the value of the manga before making a decision. Otherwise, he could get the cooperation agreement recognized by Yamano Izumi at a low price and with a favor.
Now that all these are put out, even if the printing workers make trouble in the future, it will be their person in charge who comes to Akabane, not a group of people.
Moreover, money is really not so important to Akabane.
After a while, Yamano Izumi came back, followed by a lot of people, who seemed to be the person in charge of the printing workshop and the workers.
"Mr. Yamano, you are …"
Akabane had a bit of a headache. He was too lazy to deal with too many people, so he made the conditions clear at the beginning, but there were still so many people.
Yamano Izumi looked behind him with some embarrassment, then pointed to the people around him and said, "They are usually in charge of printing in the factory, and he is the person in charge, called Noda Ichiro."
"Hello, Mr. Kurama, I … I am very grateful to you for giving us this opportunity. We can't choose between your two plans, can we neutralize them?"
Noda Ichiro was a little worried and cautious.
Obviously, he had read the manga and knew what was drawn on it. He knew the value of the manga, otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited. And the workers behind him should also understand.
Very good, this time it is clear, and there will be less trouble in the future.
Akabane secretly thought.
As for Noda Ichiro's meaning, Akabane was very clear. It was nothing more than wanting both the salary and the share, which was simple …
"In this way, I can only give you a 5% share, and at the same time give you a part of the remuneration. The specific amount can be discussed later."
"Great, thank you for your magnanimity."
Noda Ichiro constantly bowed and thanked, looking very excited.
At the same time, the crowd suddenly became noisy.
"Great, we actually have a business to do."
"I don't know how much we can earn, but it is better than nothing …"
"Thank you, Mr. Kurama, thank you, Mr. Kurama!"
Although Akabane was very young, no one dared to look down on Akabane. They all called him Mr., and their tone was very respectful.
Because his surname was Kurama, because he drew such a manga, and because he showed a lot of extraordinary things in his words, he was also very respectful to ordinary people like them.
Akabane was satisfied, but at the same time, he was also a little surprised.
From the reaction of these people, his manga was considered a big order, and it could be seen that the profit of the printing industry in this world was not high.
It was very promising!
