Chapter 392. Heji Osawa is not a prophet (4000 words)(2/2)
Nakano Yusaki said this with reasonable grounding.
It made Higashinoji laugh for a long time before wavering his hand, asking her to continue to cheer.
Since Arisaki Nakano wants to continue learning comics, he must respect the other party's opinions.
Learning oil painting is just a whim of Higashinoji.
Compared to this, Higashinoji felt that it was almost time for him to set out to talk to President Osawa Hoyoshi of Toshima Publishing House about cooperation.
After all, if Higashino Studio's online comic platform wants to rise rapidly, it still needs the cooperation from Toshima Publishing House.
Higashinoji had made an agreement with the other party before, and now it is almost time for the other party to fulfill the agreement.
By the way, Higashinoji also brought a lawyer responsible for the legal issues of Higashino Studio.
The lawyer is named Ken Yukihei, and he has been working with Higashinoji for a long time.
The two discussed and then went to Toshima Publishing House.
......
The distance from Higashino Studio to Toshima Publishing House is actually not far.
It only took more than half an hour to go from Higashinoji notifying Ozawa Hokichi to others to the fact that he had arrived at Toshima Publishing House.
"Teacher Higashino, we're meeting again."
As soon as he met Higashinoji in the reception room, Osawa Hoshi walked up enthusiastically and shook hands with Higashinoji.
"Hello, President Ozawa."
Higashinoji nodded with a smile.
But despite laughing, Higashinoji was not completely relieved.
From the last time Ozawa Hokishi took the initiative to jointly operate with Fuji Publishing House, Higashinoji knew that Ozawa Hokishi was not simple.
Anyway, Daze Heji is definitely not a good person.
After all, the two publishing houses jointly operate such a thing, and he can convince Fuji Publishing House...
To deal with such a human spirit, even Higashinoji needs to be motivated.
Higashinoji and Osawa Yoshi smiled and greeted each other for several words, and then the few people were officially taken.
"President Ozawa, this time I came here mainly to talk about my Higashino Studio web comic platform last time."
Higashinoji took the initiative to raise this topic.
What online comics platforms need most are comic works, and Toshima Publishing House owns two very popular comic magazines, "Anoying the Cold" and "Hashi". There are no shortage of excellent comic works.
In other words, Toshima Publishing House has the resources needed by Higashino Studio.
"I understand what Mr. Dongye came here this time... We have already drafted the specific contract here."
As Ozawa said, Hokishi Osawa took out the contract printed out by the legal department of Tokushima Publishing House.
But he was not in a hurry to Higashinoji, but asked curiously: "But before handing over the contract to Higashino... I actually have a question to ask Higashino."
Yes.
Of course, Ozawa Hiroki knew that Hitomi came here to make their Toshima Publishing House comics on the web comic platform created by Hitomi.
But equally, Ozawa Heji was also a little confused.
Why did Higashinoji spend so much effort to invest so much resources in online media?
Does he think that online comics platforms can threaten the realistic paper platform?
This is unlikely to think about it.
It’s not that Ozawa Hokishi had thought of letting Toshima Publishing House enter the online platform.
But if you want to create an online reading platform... the energy and money spent on it is really too much.
According to statistics from Ozawa Hoji, their two comic magazines, "Hashi" and "Aversion to Cold", are still in an upward period, and their sales are still rising.
If we only look at sales, the two comic magazines of Toshima Publishing House may be able to reach historical highs - there is no need to invest in risky online platforms.
In addition, Toshima Publishing House is still in the running-in period after joint venture, so it is not advisable to take such a large investment action...
For various reasons, Toshima Publishing House's move to the Internet, an emerging media, has also been put on hold.
But Ozawa Heji was a little confused.
Why did Higashinoji also think about adding a kick to it...
If this investment ultimately fails, wouldn’t it also be a heavy blow to Higashino Studio?
Is he so sure?
After all, it is always risky to enter unknown fields...
Higashinoji naturally didn't know what Ozawa thought.
But if he knew, he would probably have passed in just a few vague sentences.
Because the Internet is not a strange thing to Higashinoji.
After 2020, this thing will have a much greater impact on traditional TV, magazines, etc.
Most people rely on the Internet to obtain information.
With the rise of smartphones and the Internet, online comic reading has also impacted traditional comic magazines.
This includes Higashinoji's previous life's "Weekly Young JUMP", which also saw a sharp drop in sales, from more than 6 million copies in 1995 to one or two million copies.
It can be imagined that the impact of the Internet platform on it.
As for the current sales of "Aversion to Chill" and "Harmony" have increased...
To be honest, Higashinoji actually thinks this is a rebirth of a paper magazine.
It is estimated that it will take not long before major magazine publishing houses will find that the sales of magazines are gradually declining, and the public's attention is gradually shifting to the online platforms they once looked down upon.
But Higashinoji, who knew this, naturally could not tell Osawa Hokishi the truth.
After all, Higashino Studio's online comic reading platform may be their enemy in the future - he doesn't want to add a few powerful opponents.
So Higashinoji just smiled and said:
"I'm just very interested in online platforms. Didn't Higashino Studio's Pixiv website also emerge some time ago? This time I'm actually a hot iron."
"Yeah?"
Listening to Higashiji's words, Ozawa Hiroki couldn't help but nod.
Of course he knew the rise of P station.
If Higashino Studio saw that the P station was operating well... and wanted to strike while the iron was hot... this would be reasonable.
Ozawa Hokishi didn't doubt it too much, just nodded and handed over the contract in his hand to Higashinoji.
Although he is a successful entrepreneur, he is not a prophet.
