"President Tanita, why are you here!" That night, the editor-in-chief and others were getting ready to get off work when they suddenly found Naoyoshi Tanita arriving at the magazine office of "Weekly Shōnen Jump".

"Chief Editor Goto, come with me!" Tanida Naoyoshi said calmly. Goto Hiruki's heart tightened and he didn't know what happened. At the same time, Tanida Naoyoshi shouted to all the editors who were still in the company.

"Everyone stays here and continues to work. No one is allowed to leave work without my order."

With just this sentence, all the editors had to stay and work overtime.

"Did a comic called Yu-Gi-Oh! come over this afternoon? There is also a Chinese named Jia Yapeng who asked to serialize this comic!" Tanida Naoyoshi asked.

"You already know!" Goto Hiroki was shocked, and then said, "But please don't worry, president, I have kicked out that guy who doesn't know the heights of the world."

"Yes, you did drive him out and drove him into my office!" Tanida Naoyi snorted coldly, then threw the manga manuscript in his hand in front of Goto Hiroki and said, "Nothing.

Needless to say, let’s make arrangements and serialize this comic next time and treat it as a normal new serialized comic!”

"President, how could you agree to such a thing? This will ruin the reputation of our magazine!!!" Goto Hiruki was taken aback and said with a face full of shock.

"This is an order, Editor-in-Chief Goto! If you are unwilling to execute it, I will find someone else to execute it for you!" Naoyoshi Tanita did not give him any chance to explain. "The company hopes to see this comic serialized, and the company also

A net profit of 40 million yen is needed, and shareholders also need this profit, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Goto Hiroki looked sad and angry, but he still had to agree. Even if he is the editor-in-chief, he is just a wage earner.

"Can it be serialized in the next issue?"

"no problem!"

"Yoshi!" Tanada Shangyi nodded with satisfaction, "Please notify all editors of this news, I'm leaving!"

Tanida Naoyoshi came and went in a hurry. In less than 5 minutes, Tanida Naoyoshi left with satisfaction, while Goto Hiroki with a gloomy face appeared in the editing hall and called all the editors to the meeting.

Inside the room.

"Everyone, let's discuss, among all the current comics, which one should be cut in half?" Goto Hiruki said calmly.

"What? Cut the comics in half?" The editors were all shocked. One editor couldn't help but asked, "Chief Editor, didn't we decide at the last meeting? This issue of the magazine will not cut any comics in half, but still give them a chance. You

Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"This is not a question you should ask. Just tell me which of the current 18 comics should be cut in half!" Hiruki Goto looked unkind, and the editors looked at each other in confusion.

These comics are in their own hands, and they will never be willing to propose cutting off the comics they are responsible for. This is irresponsible to the cartoonists.

"Takahashi, in the last batch of survey letters, which manga was ranked last?" Since no one was willing to say it, Goto Hiroki had to follow the rules.

"The last one is the comic "The Magician of the Sky" (this is a fictional comic by the author)!" Toshicho Takahashi said bravely, because he is responsible for this comic.

"Very good, just cut him in half!" Goto Hiroshi said.

"But editor-in-chief, I have promised the author that I will give him three more issues before he can finish it. Just let him give readers an ending!" Takahashi Toshicho said excitedly.

"Okay..." Goto Hiroki probably felt guilty, he hesitated, and then said, "But it can't be serialized in this article. Let's transfer it to the supplement "Jump Giga" for serialization. Anyway, all the people who have been cut in half are

That’s where comics are supposed to go!”

"Jump Giga" is a supplement specially published by "Weekly Shonen Jump". It has only one purpose, which is generally used to test the popularity of new comics, or as a magazine platform for completing comics that are about to be cut in half.

"Okay!" Takahashi Toshichang nodded helplessly.

"Then, let's review this comic and prepare to start serializing it in the next issue!" After Goto Hiruki finished speaking, he threw another comic on the table.

At this time, all the editors realized that the reason why Goto Hiruki was anxious to cut off a manga in half was to make room for this new manga.

""Yu-Gi-Oh!"!" Seeing this dazzling name, Takahashi Toshimasa stood up suddenly, stared at Goto Hiroki and said, "Chief Editor, what's going on? Have you forgotten the promise we made?

?”

"This is the president's order. I have no room to refuse!" Goto Hiruki laughed at himself, "The president has already offered me 40 million yen. What can I do?"

"40 million!!!" Takahashi Toshicho sat down immediately. This was really a price that capitalists could not refuse. In fact, even he, a literary man, could not refuse such a temptation.

The other editors, who didn't know what was going on, looked at the two of them blankly.

"Okay, here's what happened!" Goto Hiroki briefly introduced the ins and outs of the matter, and all the editors fell silent. They felt that something was starting to collapse.

"Everyone, please be energetic. Let's review this comic carefully and see if it can meet the standards of serialized comics!" Goto Hiruki said helplessly.

"Do you even need to ask? It must be that it cannot meet the standards for serialization, so it uses such despicable methods!" an editor said angrily.

"Chief Editor, if it doesn't meet the serialization standards or even seriously fails in quality, will we still serialize it?" asked another editor.

"If it's not up to standard, then change it!" Goto Hiroyuki smiled bitterly, and then added, "We'll change it for him!"

"..." All the editors were really speechless this time. The power of money to make "Weekly Shonen Jump" reach this point is really irresistible!

But soon, something happened that shocked all the editors. When these editors carefully read the entire comic, they were surprised to find that except for the painting style, which was a bit immature, all other contents were

It's surprisingly good, and can even be described as perfect.

Even Hiroyuki Goto, the editor-in-chief, couldn't help but widen his eyes after carefully reading the entire comic for the first time, with a very complicated expression.

"Everyone, please express your opinions!" Goto Hiroyuki put down the comics in his hands, looked at all the editors in front of the table and said, "If you have any suggestions for revision, please mention them."

As a result, the entire conference room fell silent, and no editor spoke.

It's not that they don't dare to speak, it's that they can't find anything to modify except the painting style.

"Ahem, now, please review this comic according to the strictest serialization meeting review standards without any bias. If you think this comic is eligible for a new serialization, please raise your hands!!"

After Fujihiroki finished speaking, he looked at everyone in the conference room.

Takahashi Toshicho was the first to raise his hand. He was the first person to read this comic. After repeatedly recalling the plot of the comic, as a professional editor, his intuition told him that this comic would definitely become popular.

Gradually, many editors raised their hands one after another, and finally all 8 editors in the entire conference room, including Hiruki Goto himself, raised their hands.

"Yu-Gi-Oh!", a comic that was purchased for 40 million yen and qualified for serialization, actually successfully passed the review meeting, and it was unanimously approved by the serialization review meeting.

Seventy or eighty percent of the comics that have achieved such results in the past will become the backbone of "Weekly Shonen Jump" in the future, comics that can be completed normally!

"Huh, it seems we don't have to act unconscionably anymore!!" Goto Hiroyuki suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, with a joyful smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, the quality of this comic is surprisingly good. Although it has some shady origins, it will not damage the reputation of "Weekly Shonen Jump". It may even become popular in the future and become one of the main pillars. How in the world?

There will be such magical plots and things happening!

And more importantly, this way you don’t have to act unconscionably, your personality and stance as an editor are still there, and you are still a qualified cartoonist!!

Goto Hiroki began to feel sincerely happy, and even developed some inexplicable love for this "Yu-Gi-Oh!" comic.

"But, since the quality of this comic is already up to standard, why does the other party still have to pay 40 million yen? Isn't this a clear waste of money?" One editor said in confusion. He couldn't understand. The quality was obviously excellent.

Why do you have to take such a crooked approach to the comics? Is it really just to serialize them a few weeks in advance?

"It's copyright, everything is for copyright!" Takahashi Toshicho said calmly, "I have seen the guy who paid for it. He was a shrewd guy with eyes. There is no way he would spend the money in vain!"

"His purpose is very simple. He just wants to get all the copyrights of "Yu-Gi-Oh!". If we follow the normal serialization process, then all the copyrights of this comic will be in our hands. If he still wants to get all the copyrights in the future,

The copyright may cost hundreds of millions of yen to purchase.”

"But he doesn't want to lose our "Weekly Shonen Jump", the comic platform with the most readers in Fuso. Even if he spent 40 million yen in advance to buy the entire copyright of a comic published on "Weekly Shonen Jump", this

In fact, it’s not a money-losing business. Add in the outstanding comic quality of “Yu-Gi-Oh!”, this might actually be a hugely profitable business!” Takahashi Toshimasa said expressionlessly.

In fact, at this moment, many things in Takahashi Toshichang's heart collapsed. He discovered that other persistence and integrity were all fake. Only benefits were something that people could not refuse!
