"You're wrong. I, Ichiro Honda, haven't fallen down yet. I haven't been defeated by you. I just fell down temporarily because I'm not feeling well!" Drunk, Ichiro Honda yelled, which attracted the attention of the people around him.
"It's up to you!" Boss Jia didn't want to argue with a drunkard.
"According to what you said, as long as I slow down, I can defeat you!" Ichiro Honda said unwillingly.
"No, you'll just die a little later if you slow down!" Boss Jia chuckled. "Even if you have integrated your business well, even if you don't have so much extra cost, when your business expands to such a large scale, many things will no longer be up to you to decide."
"Nonsense!" Ichiro Honda glared at Jia Yapeng, "As long as I integrate my subordinates well, you'll never be my opponent."
"Ah, it seems that you still don't understand!" Jia Yapeng sighed.
"Mr. Jia, we'll meet again someday!" Ichiro Honda snorted coldly, then left the izakaya directly without looking back.
"Ah, why didn't you finish my words for me?" Boss Jia looked at the empty seat where Ichiro Honda had just sat. He smiled and said slowly, "Do you know why your cost is so much higher than mine?"
"Of course, it's because my subordinates are too greedy. After I educate all of them, they'll understand what capitalism is!" Ichiro Honda said viciously.
"No, it has nothing to do with greed. After all, it's just a question of who they work for!" Boss Jia said, "Your employees will always work for you. So even if they're not greedy, as long as they're instinctively lazy, you'll definitely lose!"
"When they're tired, they can slow down the speed of making milk tea. When they're thirsty, they can drink your milk tea directly. When they're in a bad mood, they can give a dirty look to many customers! Everything in your shop belongs to you. None of it belongs to them. They don't care about you. They only care about their own interests! "
"But I'm different. I don't have direct employees. Everyone under me is a franchisee. Their profits are their own. Every cup of milk tea they make is their own money."
"That's why you'll never be able to compete with me in terms of cost!" Boss Jia finished the sake in one gulp. Fusangpeople's sake is also called wine? It was just like mouthwash.
"Hey, you're Mr. CEO!" Just like how Ichiro Honda met Jia Yapeng in this izakaya by chance, Boss Jia also met a person by chance after drinking a few mouthfuls of wine.
"You and … Kazuki Takahashi -sensei!" Boss Jia squinted for a while and finally recognized the other person's identity. It turned out to be the original author of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga, Kazuki Takahashi.
Seeing Kazuki Takahashi, Boss Jia couldn't help but recall the scene two years ago when he first came to Fusang and visited Kazuki Takahashi.
Time really flies like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, more than two years had passed just like that.
"Actually, I've always wanted to visit Mr. CEO to express my gratitude, but I was too embarrassed to do so. I didn't expect to meet you here. This is really God's will!" Kazuki Takahashi said excitedly. It was obvious that he was very grateful to Boss Jia.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're welcome to visit me at any time!" Boss Jia laughed and said, "Mr. Takahashi, how's your life now? How are you doing? "
"Of course, thanks to you, I'm doing very well now!" Kazuki Takahashi said with satisfaction.
Of course, he was satisfied. Although the copyright of Yu-Gi-Oh was now in Boss Jia's hands, Boss Jia promised Kazuki Takahashi that he would give him 10% of the income related to the Yu-Gi-Oh manga as a reward. At the same time, he would also give Kazuki Takahashi a 1% share of the profits from the Yu-Gi-Oh manga.
Don't underestimate this 10% and 1%. After all, the Yu-Gi-Oh manga had now been published in 12 volumes and the total sales had reached an astonishing level of 40 million copies. According to the calculation that the profit per volume was 150 yen, Kazuki Takahashi would be able to get 15 yen as a reward. The total sales of 40 million copies would be as high as 600 million yen.
In addition, the various peripheral and copyright licensed products of Yu-Gi-Oh were also selling very well. The 1% share brought Kazuki Takahashi more than 1 billion yen in income.
According to the laws and regulations of the service providers, the number of tax paid by the taxpayers could be found through legal means. Therefore, in the 1993 tax paid list of manga artists published by the Fusang media, Kazuki Takahashi was ranked third on the tax paid list with a total tax of 250 million yen.
All the taxes paid by manga artists were directly collected at 20% of the individual income tax. This meant that in 1993, Takahashi Kexi's personal income was as high as 1.25 billion yen.
Now, Kazuki Takahashi had bought his own apartment on the busiest street in Tokyo. In addition, he had also bought a large house of more than 600 square meters in Gunma Prefecture near Tokyo. How could Kazuki Takahashi's life not be good?
"That's good. Let's have a drink!" Boss Jia took the initiative to raise his glass. The two of them drank happily. Then, Kazuki Takahashi's expression became a little hesitant and hesitant.
Boss Jia saw that Kazuki Takahashi had something to say, so he asked with a smile, "Ask me directly if you want to ask me anything. Don't hesitate like a girl!"
"Well, I just want to ask, will Yu-Gi-Oh be finished after I finish the Qin Emperor chapter?" After Kazuki Takahashi asked, he looked nervously at Boss Jia.
Kazuki Takahashi's life was indeed very good now, so Yu-Gi-Oh had become his most important asset. Kazuki Takahashi naturally hoped that Yu-Gi-Oh could continue to draw so that his income would continue.
In August 1993, Kazuki Takahashi received the script for the Qin Emperor chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh. However, in nearly a year, Kazuki Takahashi had not received a new script for Yu-Gi-Oh.
Soon, the Qin Emperor chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh would be finished. If there was no new script, it meant that Yu-Gi-Oh was going to be finished. How could Kazuki Takahashi not be anxious?
"That's right!" Boss Jia nodded.
The Qin Emperor chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh actually corresponded to the Egypt chapter of the original manga. Muto Games and Dark Games returned to the Qin Dynasty of Hua Xia together and began to uncover the secrets of the Great Qin Dynasty, as well as the mysteries of the Emperor's Luban Lock.
The story in the original manga was very interesting and left a deep impression on Boss Jia. Therefore, Boss Jia did not make many changes. After changing some of the plot and settings according to the historical background, he gave the Qin Emperor chapter to Kazuki Takahashi.
In the original world's history, the Egypt chapter was the climax of Yu-Gi-Oh. Originally, it was the best ending.
However, because Yu-Gi-Oh was too popular, Kazuki Takahashi continued to draw it. As a result, the later plot felt like a continuation of a dog's tail. Boss Jia was too lazy to continue reading.
Therefore, Boss Jia decided that the ending of Yu-Gi-Oh in this life was just right after the Qin Emperor chapter. There was no need to continue.
"Well, ending it here is indeed the best time!" Hearing Boss Jia's answer, Kazuki Takahashi nodded although he was a little reluctant.
"Hahaha, Takahashi-sensei, you don't have to worry. With the foundation of Yu-Gi-Oh, you can start a new manga. By then, this manga will completely belong to you. You don't have to share the copyright with me, Daqian. All the profits will be yours alone! "Boss Jia laughed.
"But …" Hearing Boss Jia's words, Kazuki Takahashi was even more depressed.
"But what?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"But Shonen Jump has already decided that it won't publish any of my manga anymore. Once my Yu-Gi-Oh is over, I won't be able to see my work in Shonen Jump anymore!" Takahashi Kazuki said sadly.
