Meng Huo only stayed in Tokyo for a long time. After assigning the work of establishing a new editorial department, he was about to leave.

However, Meng Huo had just walked out of Sakura Animation Company, and a scene that surprised him appeared. Twenty or thirty cartoonists stood at the door of Sakura Company. They looked excited and everyone had a happy face. After seeing Meng Huo come out, these cartoonists came over. They excitedly expressed their gratitude to Meng Huo, and several female cartoonists almost cried.

"Teacher He Xi, thank you for giving us a chance!"

"Teacher He Xi, your decision was too timely!"

Meng Huo was a little surprised. When he learned the specific reason, sweat broke out behind him.

He didn't care much about the comics before. He didn't expect that the competition for comics by Phoenix Company had become so terrible that he almost drove away these newly joined comics. This made Meng Huo a little scared, but at the same time he felt glad that fortunately, it took time to expand the magazine, otherwise Phoenix Company would have suffered a huge loss.

He comforted the cartoonists and then returned to Ninghai.

After returning to Ninghai, the senior executives of Phoenix Company continued to discuss the details of the magazine, but encountered great differences in specific classification standards. Finally, at the suggestion of Meng Huo and Xu Jing, everyone reached a result that was not very satisfactory but qualified, and the new magazine was successfully handed over to the government for review.

Let me tell you the final result here - because Ninghai City Press and Editorial Department tried its best to retain it, the editorial department of "Weekly Boy" continued to stay in Ninghai. The positioning of this magazine has been clear. In the future, it mainly includes kingly passionate boy comics such as "fantasy", "fighting", "friendship", and "victory", which is also the best-selling comic type. "One Piece" and "Dream Eater" continue to be serialized on it.

The editorial department of "Weekly Girl" has been moved to Su Hua. It focuses on the kingly elements of girl comics such as "love", "idol", and "romance". Comics such as "Sakura University Male Public Relations Department Live Version" continue to be serialized on "Weekly Girl".

There are two new magazines, which use a unified name - "Weekly Gemini". "Weekly Gemini" is divided into male version and female version. In order to facilitate work and sales statistics, the serialization time of these two magazines is set on Monday and Tuesday. The male version of "Weekly Gemini" is led by Su Hua's new company, and the female version is left to Sakura Company. Takako Takashima, the vice president of Sakura Company, is currently the editor-in-chief of the female version of "Weekly Gemini".

"Weekly Gemini" has a different positioning from the previous two magazines. It absorbs a wider theme. Any subject will be accepted and tends to explore the charm of niche themes. "Detective Conan" is a popular detective comic, and was moved to the male version of "Weekly Gemini". Phoenix Company hopes that this work can open up the market for "Weekly Gemini".

"One Piece" and "Detective Conan" stay in the same magazine, and it is not cost-effective to compete with each other. This time, the separate serialization is also conducive to long-term stability.

The final decision was made, and although there were still many problems, it was generally stable. The editorial departments of the four magazines were in different regions, but they were very closely connected with each other. In addition to the different publishing locations, the sales channels were unified. Moreover, the editorial departments in the three regions all had a very important responsibility - to pass on manuscripts.

Transmission of manuscripts is the main reason why Meng Huo wanted to distribute the editorial department. Cartoonists in each region can contribute articles nearby no matter what type of comics it is, and the editorial department needs to pass these manuscripts to the corresponding editorial department to form a system of mutual cooperation. In order to reduce the friction between these editorial departments, Meng Huo also specially asked the affairs department to strengthen the personnel flow of several editorial departments.

Subsequently, Phoenix officially announced the addition of a new magazine.

As soon as the news came out, the entire comics industry was scared, and even people who were not in the comics industry were shocked by the news.

"Phoenix Company launches two new magazines at once, and this step is too big!" Li Ming, editor-in-chief of Longteng Novels, was one of them. He jumped up as soon as he got the news. Then, Li Ming sent a congratulatory letter to Meng Huo, and then invited Ye Xiong, editor-in-chief of comics of Phoenix Company, to dinner.

“Who made this decision?”

Eating is just an excuse, and Li Ming cares more about the details behind the scenes: "Suddenly two new magazines were added. This time you stood opposite Longteng Company. This is not like Chairman Xu's courage!"

The significance of adding two new magazines by Phoenix Company is extraordinary. Magazine is the cornerstone of all business of comic companies. Expanding the two magazines, the number of cartoonists represented by Phoenix Company is close to Zhongxia Company. The number of cartoonists is the driving force for the cartoon companies to move forward. With a sufficient number of cartoonists, Phoenix Company posed a threat to Zhongxia Company in the true sense.

With a huge reserve of cartoonists, plus He Xi, if two new magazines of Phoenix Company develop, it will be difficult to be knocked down again. But this step is also a very dangerous step. The risk of expanding new magazines is quite high. Not only Zhongxia Company, but many other comic companies will have a sense of fear, which is likely to trigger collective confrontation.

"You are asking questions knowingly." Ye Xiong smiled and said, "The only one who can make this decision is Mr. He Xi?"

“…”

Li Ming was a little surprised. This answer was not difficult to guess, and it could even be said to be easy.

There were rumors that He Xi would control Phoenix Company, but the subtext of that news was somewhat different from now. Although everyone said that He Xi was the new owner of Phoenix Company, there would not be too many people who actually believed it. Or in other words, everyone believed that although He Xi controlled two branches at this stage, the person in charge of Phoenix Company would still be Xu Jing within a few years.

However, as soon as this incident happened, people's thoughts were shocked. Phoenix Company had not officially started working in Su Hua, and the decision to add a new magazine was decided in Ninghai. Logically speaking, the person who decided on this magazine should be Xu Jingcai. Ye Xiong told the truth, and Li Ming was surprised. He Xi took power earlier than he and everyone imagined.

"Teacher He Xi is really getting further and further..." Li Ming said with regret while drinking tea. He was originally looking forward to let He Xi write a novel again, but this time he completely gave up. As the controller of a comic company, the young man could no longer switch to another company.

"Are he not afraid of Zhongxia's suppression?"

He couldn't help asking, and then he felt that his question was stupid: "Forget it, when I didn't ask, Teacher He Xi was not afraid of Zhongxia before, and now there is no reason to be afraid of them."

Ye Xiong nodded.

"Zhongxia Company has obtained the copyright of Teacher He Xi's "Clannad" animation. They want to make peace with our company." He paused and continued: "I think they can't come out to make trouble at this time. If they do this, they will break up with Teacher He Xi. Teacher He Xi will definitely be very angry."

He saw through Zhongxia's idea that he was unwilling to offend He Xi. In fact, from the moment he bought "Clannad", Zhongxia never had the opportunity to confront Meng Huo in tit.

At Zhongxia Company, Ding Yanghua could only break his teeth and swallow it after hearing the news. He drank cold water in the office, paced left and right, and kept comforting himself: "It doesn't matter, it's just two new magazines, nothing big happens... I can't get angry, I can't turn against He Xi at such a critical moment!"

After finally making up, even if Phoenix Company launches two new magazines, Zhongxia Company has to resist the panic. They can no longer lose both sides with He Xi. The following years will be the golden years of the comics industry. If you miss this era of rapid development, you will not have another chance in the next hundred years.

"Genius, after all, is still a problem with comic genius!"

Ding Yanghua calmed down and there was a He Xi in the comics world, and there was a possibility that a second one would appear. Zhongxia only needed to wait, and then discover a cartoonist with talent like He Xi within a few years. Relying on their huge financial resources and perfect packaging, that cartoonist would definitely be more popular than He Xi, and Zhongxia still has great hope.

"I have to persuade the second young master, what kind of animated movies he is playing there, how can the achievements of that line be comparable to those of comics..."

This thought flashed through Ding Yanghua's mind.

Afterwards, two more days passed. On February 13, Phoenix Company officially opened. On the 14th, "Shana with the Eyes" was released. At noon on the same day, Meng Huo and Alice and their party boarded the high-speed train to Suhua.
Chapter completed!
