"Is this person crazy?!" When everyone present heard Boss Jia's final remuneration, they all looked at Boss Jia with a dumbfounded expression.
"Who are you trying to fool? One billion USD in half a year? Why don't you say you're the richest man in Fusang? "The pretty girl couldn't help but complain.
"I'm sorry, it seems that I need to introduce myself!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "I'm the chairman of the Daqian Group. I'm not sure if I'm the richest man in Fusang, but I did make at least one billion USD in half a year. If you don't believe me, you can ask a judge or a law firm to investigate. You're welcome to collect evidence! "
"Daqian Group … That name sounds familiar!" The pretty girl pondered, but everyone couldn't figure out where the Daqian Group came from. The first person to react was Shoji Yoshida. He exclaimed, "Daqian Group is the parent company of Dynasty Animation. You're the boss of Dynasty Animation!!!"
The first thing the people in the comics circle thought of was naturally the Dynasty Group that had conquered a large territory in Fusang and forced the people of Fusang to have no choice but to rise up and resist.
"Yes!" Boss Jia nodded. Kazuki Takahashi stood up and said, "Everyone, I'm the author of Yu-Gi-Oh, Kazuki Takahashi. This is indeed the chairman of the Daqian Group and also the chairman of Dynasty Donghuang. He's Jia Yapeng from Hua Xia. I can testify for him!"
Because Kazuki Takahashi had a common face and Kazuki Takahashi wasn't familiar with this group of people, no one recognized Kazuki Takahashi at first. But as Takahashi and Hope announced their identities, many people immediately reacted, with horrified expressions on their faces.
If Kazuki Takahashi's identity was real, then Jia Yapeng's identity was real too. This was simply …
For the first time, everyone felt that life was so wonderful and full of all kinds of opportunities.
"Mr. Jia, you know we can't afford it!" At this time, Hideaki Anno had recovered from his shock. He knew that he had gotten himself into big trouble. He could only brace himself and tell Boss Jia.
Who would have thought that the chairman of the Daqian Group, a billionaire with an annual income of one billion US dollars, would actually be a top-notch original artist? He would even come to a place like the Comicmarket to draw. No normal person would have thought that such a thing could happen in this world.
Hideaki Anano felt melancholy!
"It's fine if you can't pay me back!" Boss Jia laughed. "I won't keep you in suspense. You're very talented, and your New Age Evangelion footwork is excellent. I admire it very much, so I'm willing to invest in your animation. How about it? It'll be easy to earn my money!"
"I have a question. I wonder if Boss Jia is willing to answer?" Anno Hideaki asked.
"Of course!" Boss Jia Yapeng nodded.
"Mr. Jia, since you admire my animation so much, do you think that my New Age Evangelion could possibly challenge your Dynasty Animation, or even surpass all of your works?" Hideaki Anno looked at Boss Jia and asked with bright eyes.
"To be honest, I think it's possible!" Boss Jia nodded sincerely.
"Alright then, Mr. Jia, forgive my rudeness, but I definitely won't agree to your suggestion. The reason why I decided to make this animation is to boost the confidence of Fusang Animation and make a work that's better than your Dynasty Animation. If I accept your investment, my work will become Dynasty Animation's work. That's not something I want to see, so I'm sorry!"
"If that's the case, Mr. Anno, are you planning to pay me the five hundred and fifty million?" Boss Jia's eyes narrowed into a straight line as he stared at Hideaki Anno.
"I won't pay this amount of money because we don't have the money!" Hideaki Anno was straightforward.
"That's why you can sue us in court. We're willing to accept the court's decision. Before that, we have nothing to talk about!" Hideaki Anno said.
"Then what about the two characters I drew for you?"
"These two people are very good, so I'll use them as well."
"But they're mine!"
"These are the characters you drew according to the contract between us. Therefore, according to the contract, they belong to our company and enjoy copyright protection. Between us, it's just a contract. The dispute about the remuneration has nothing to do with the ownership of the copyright! "Hideaki Anno said calmly.
"You …" Boss Jia was a little angry. He didn't expect Hideaki Anno to be so straightforward and helpless. He felt like he couldn't do anything about it. Was this the legendary hooligan?
"Alright, but it's more interesting this way!" After a moment of anger, Boss Jia quickly adjusted his state of mind and left with his people after saying that.
"Brother, it seems like this Boss Jia is planning to take revenge on us!" After Boss Jia left, the beautiful girl looked at her brother and said worriedly.
"It's okay. This is Fusang. It's not a place where a Hua Xia like him can behave atrociously. As long as we do everything according to the law, he can't do anything to us!" Hideaki Anno raised his head and said.
This guy is already so old, but it seems like he still hasn't been beaten up by society.

"Boss, I know Hideaki Anno. He's used to being overbearing. When he was at Studio Ghibli, he wasn't liked by the old man. He was obviously kicked out, but he told the public that he resigned voluntarily. If it wasn't for Studio Ghibli being magnanimous and being too lazy to care about these things, he would have been exposed long ago!" Sitting in Boss Jia's luxurious Mercedes-Benz business car, Kazuki Takahashi comforted Boss Jia.
"Why don't I contact some people and let them expose some dirt on Hideaki Anno? I guarantee that he'll leave in a sorry state!" Kazuki Takahashi suggested. It was probably because of the feeling of using scandals to create Weekly Youngermen Jump.
"No, this is the most boring player, and it's meaningless!" Boss Jia shook his head. Hideaki Anno had shares in Gainax. Through this method, at most, his reputation would be tarnished, but it wouldn't affect anything else.
Moreover, Boss Jia didn't need a tarnished Hideaki Anno. This would negatively affect the huge IP of "New Age Evangelion".
"This is the first person in so many years who rejected me so decisively!" Boss Jia said calmly. At the same time, a flame began to burn in his heart.
Interesting. Boss Jia hadn't been this interested in a long time. It seemed like he needed to let Hideaki Anno know what it meant to be beaten up by capitalism.
"Xiao Chen, I'll give you an hour. Within an hour, I want to know the composition of Gainax's shares!" Boss Jia narrowed his eyes and said. Since words couldn't get through, he would use money to get through!
