I run a bank in Tokyo

Chapter 160

"Jin Sang, please keep up your efforts!"

"Don't worry, I still have a lot of stories to draw."

Yuichi Nakayama is inviting Seijuro to dinner to celebrate the sales of "Naruto" booklet breaking 10 in the first week.

In this era, and "Naruto" has not yet been animated, and he is only a rookie who has just debuted for 2 months, the sales volume of 10 in the first week is already a very remarkable figure!
The price of the single book is 450 yen, and the royalties are 10%. Note that it is turnover rather than profit, that is, he can get 45 yen for every copy sold, and 10 copies are 450 million yen!

Moreover, this is a steady stream of wealth and the main source of income for many well-known cartoonists.

In addition, the animation adaptation rights of the first volume of "Naruto Ninja" have also been sold, with a copyright fee of 10 yen per episode.

Another considerable income.

The important thing is that after the animation is broadcast, it can greatly promote the sales of comics.Generally speaking, it is normal for a newcomer like him to sell several times more.

"Death Note" also transferred to the weekly magazine.

Yu Konishi still underestimated readers' love for "Death Note". The phrase "I will become the god of the new world" is simply Chuunibyou's favorite!
It even made it to the Internet hot search list!
For Shueisha, readers' feedback and sales mean everything!
"Weekly Shonen Jump", which had been in a very obvious decline, gradually sprouted a burst of vitality. The editors knew exactly where the root cause was, and this time they unanimously approved the transfer of "Death Note" to the weekly magazine.

The signing event held by Jin Qingjuro was also very successful.

The authors of the two most popular comics at the moment are also newcomers. They are tall and handsome, so there is no reason not to be popular.

However, after he became popular, the editorial department began to worry that he was intoxicated by false popularity and was abducted to become a star, so it was Zhongshan Yuyi's turn to appear on the stage.

In name it was to congratulate him, but actually it was a tactful reminder to him not to forget his duty.

In fact, Shueisha's worries are completely unnecessary. Although Shinseijuro already has a new way of earning money, he is reluctant to give up this income.

After all, this is a long-term meal ticket!
With his "talent", it is not difficult to earn tens of billions of dollars in the future, how can he be willing?

I have no interest at all in becoming a star.

During this period of time, many companies and agents approached him, and without exception, he rejected them all.Although celebrities can make money quickly, they have to be top-notch, and at the cost of freedom, which is not what he wants.Moreover, after the animation versions of "Naruto" and "Death Note" come out, his performance will explode, and his popularity will inevitably exceed most stars.

In addition, Zhongshan Yuichi also worried about him. He obviously ate barbecue, but the two big men drank drinks because he said "I don't usually drink much".

I repeatedly told him to take public transportation as much as possible when going out, and Shueisha would reimburse him for the transportation expenses every month!

There has never been a precedent.

It's not that there are no one better than him, but how can a cartoonist like him have time to drive out?At most, it's just going out by bicycle for a circle, and then going home immediately.

Being a cartoonist is a very energy-consuming job. After a long time, you will definitely suffer from mental fatigue and eye fatigue. If you are in this state for a long time, it is not suitable for driving.

In addition, he was also told to have regular physical examinations, and not to ignore minor ailments, etc., just like a nagging old woman.

He will be the pillar of Shueisha for the next 10 years!
Considering his age, it is likely to be more than 20 years in the future!

It is not difficult to understand the importance Shueisha attaches to him.

"Thank you for your hospitality." After eating, Shin Seijuro thanked Nakayama Yuichi who was the first to pay the bill.

Finally finished eating!
Leaving aside my own feelings, it is strange enough for two big men to eat barbecue and drink drinks at the same time. One of them is still nagging, and the other is constantly responding. It's strange, okay?

The guests at the next table occasionally peeked at them with strange eyes!
"Jin Sang..." Zhongshan Yuyi seemed to have more to say.

"Editor Zhongshan, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first!" Jin Qingjuro interrupted him hastily.It has been discovered that he is not only nagging like this out of editorial responsibilities and tasks entrusted by the company, but also has a latent nagging attribute in himself!
Moreover, the two of them are already preparing to leave. If he pulls them back and warns them again, people around them may misunderstand their relationship!
Just thinking about it makes me shiver.

Only then did Zhongshan Yuyi stop.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jin Qingjuro left in a hurry.

Drive to the coast of Minato.

The shop that I entrusted Tomoko Suzuki to find is there.

It was an out-and-out murderous place, a murder case occurred more than ten years ago, and two people died.

Later, about 50 people died one after another.

Basically, a few die every year!
Three years ago, a trading company bought this place and entrusted a Shinto priest to perform exorcism, and wanted to build a building here as an office.

It is close to Tokyo Bay and only a few hundred meters away from Takeshiba Pier. It will be very convenient if you have business dealings in this area.

Jin Qingjuro also liked that it is very close to Tokyo Bay, which is convenient for tossing.

Unexpectedly, only 5 floors of the planned 3-story building had to be stopped because of the death.

Although the roof was forcibly capped and changed to a 3-story building, no one dared to go there.

Over the past two years, the building has basically been abandoned.

After more than ten years, this place has already become famous far and wide, and even if you want to sell it, you can’t sell it!

I have tried renting out, and many people are more afraid of poverty than ghosts and gods. It is close to Tokyo Bay, less than 1000 meters away from Shiba Park and Tokyo Tower, and only a few minutes away from Hamamatsucho Station. stay home.

As a result, another tenant died and got into trouble.

give up completely.

But you have to pay taxes every year.

Fortunately, the government also knew that this place was a murderous place, so they did not pursue other responsibilities and let it fall into disrepair.

In addition, every time the company name is introduced, the people who hear it will say "Oh—" meaningfully, causing the company's own people to try not to mention the company name outside.

I heard that someone wants to buy this place, but the trading company is almost half selling and half giving away!
Tomoko Suzuki bought it under the name of Suzuki Shipbuilding, and then sold it to Shin Seijuro at a 5% discount.

I want to give it to him, but I'm afraid he won't.

A total of 1.5 million yen was spent.

The land area is 475 square meters, and there is a 2-story building that is more than 3 years old. This comparison is simply the price of cabbage!

However, it has been abandoned for nearly 2 years and must be renovated.

Tomoko Suzuki hired a decoration company at three times the market price. It took more than half a month and the project was completed today.

This is his second time going.

During the first inspection, no abnormalities were found.

This time I am going to sit in town for one night.

After arriving in Hamamatsucho, find an empty corner and start shaving.

Disappear.
