The editors of Urajima Publishing House were completely stunned.

It's indeed completely confused.

The three comic publishers have now become two, and the strength gap is huge, Urashima Publishing House cannot beat the merged Iwakao Publishing House and Mozu Bookstore.

"No wonder internal emergency news was suddenly held." Hosokawa Koharu said to himself.

The merger of Iwakao Publishing House and Mozu Bookstore can be said to be a major earthquake in the publishing house.

At least Urajima Publishing House was shocked.

Because Iwakao Publishing House and Mochi Bookstore have always been competitors of Urashima Publishing House.

Over the years, although Urashima Publishing House has been weaker than the other two, it has remained basically the same, and many authors have also considered their publishing house.

After all, the three companies are old publishing houses and have balanced strength.

But now that Iwakaku and Mozu are merged, the authors who chose Urashima Publishing House may also choose the promotion channel, financial and material resources of Iwakaku and Mozu Publishing House, which has stronger promotion channels and financial resources.

The competitive pressure is not only greater, but twice as high.

Not just editors from the literature department.

The same is true for the comics and magazine department.

Iwakao and Mozu two leading publishing houses that originally belong to comic magazines.

Urashima Publishing House relied on the pillar author Higashinoji to barely tie the opponent with a tie.

But now

The author of the pillars of two major publishing houses, Iwakao and Mozu, was also serialized in a comic magazine.

This competition will inevitably squeeze the living space of Urajima Publishing House's "Aversion to Chill".

Hosokawa Koharu subconsciously glanced at the "Hanzawa Naoki" in his hand.

The merger of the two major publishing houses is bound to meet Urashima Publishing House.

Although Hosokawa Koharu is not sure about the situation in the literary editorial department, she thinks that she cannot beat the two major publishing houses after the merger.

The comic magazine department probably has the same situation. In terms of the average quality of comics, it will definitely not beat Iwakao and Mozu Publishing House.

but

"And Teacher Higashino."

Yes.

Although the average quality of comics at Urashima Publishing House is not as good as the two major publishing houses after the merger.

But there is still a "nuclear weapon" Higashinoji hidden in Urashima Publishing House.

As one of the current ceilings of Japanese comics, Higashinoji's works are definitely at the top level and will never lose to Iwakatsu and Mochi Publishing House

That's what it means.

But the other party came in a fierce manner this time, and maybe they hid other "knifes" to stab Urashima Publishing House.

"This is here to be prepared." Hosokawa Koharu thought today would be a very peaceful day, so the editors looked at "Hansawa Naoki" and passed.

But now it seems

It is estimated that their group of editors will have to work overtime until midnight before they can finish their work.

Hosokawa Koharu helplessly pinched the "Hansawa Naoki" in his hand, thinking to himself.

"Although the merger of the two major publishing houses is a change for Urashima Publishing House, it is another opportunity for Higashino."

If the two major publishing houses merge and attack, Higashinoji can still break through the siege and get good results.

Then his status in the industry may have jumped from the level of "comic artist" to the level of "comic master".

But this is too difficult

Moreover, all the comics in "Aversion to Chill" cannot help. To be precise, they are not enough for each other to fight.

Only Higashinoji, as the top combat power here, can compete with the opponent.

Koharu Hosokawa, who figured out this relationship, couldn't help but rub his temples.

This is indeed a very difficult situation.

All the hopes of "Qi" magazine can only be placed on Higashinoji

Hosokawa Koharu can only remain silent like other editors.

Now, they are waiting for the top level of Urajima Publishing House to make what decisions they can make.

But before that

But Koharu Hosokawa received an unexpected call.

"Did President Ozawa call?"

Hosokawa Koharu was stunned.

Isn’t the above discussion of an internal emergency meeting?

Why does Ozawa Heji still have time to call her?

She stayed for a few seconds and answered the phone.

"Hey? President Osawa?"

"Well, it's me, the leader of Hosokawa. Actually, I just received the news. Iwakatsu Publishing House seems to be interested in contacting Teacher Higashino. As the editor of Teacher Higashino, can you go to Teacher Higashino to see the situation now?"

"What?"

Hosokawa Koharu was still thinking about the plot of Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki", but unexpectedly, Iwakatsu Publishing House had already made a secret move.

The so-called "intentional contact" is actually another saying of poaching.

Hosokawa Koharu suddenly figured it out.

I guess I plan to directly release new publications.

And it just happened that the ceiling comic "Unnatural Death" had just finished.

Higashinoji is currently in a window period where there are no other comic serials except for the serialization of "The Lonely Foodie".

Iwakatsu Publishing House aims at this window period and merges with Mochi Bookstore to find Higashinoji

The other party is too accurate.

Just stuck at this point in time

"I understand, I'll call Teacher Higashino now."

Hosokawa Koharu's heart thrilled, and after saying this, he hung up the phone directly.

Her behavior can be said to be very rude. After all, President Osawa over there is her immediate boss. She hung up before she even answered the phone.

But she believed that Ozawa Hokiki over there would understand her.

After all, the sign of Higashinoji was stolen.
