The ironware I made shines

Chapter 245 Whitebeard's Knife
The cooperation between Ge Xiaohua and Shueisha is probably facilitated by the Asian Forging Association. Some details need to be asked about Yamamoto Yuji. He has a social account of Yamamoto Yuji, and he contacted Yamamoto Yuji on the Internet and established contact through voice.

"Yamamoto-kun, Shueisha really wants to cooperate with me? Aren't there more members in the Asian Forging Association who are ranked higher than me?" Ge Xiaohua's current ranking is only around 20. Because of a tie with Yamamoto Masaosu, the points have not changed, but Compared with the Yamamoto brothers, the ranking is still a bit short, although Ge Xiaohua has won the two brothers.

"Shueisha appointed to cooperate with you, because there is a customer who intends to let you participate in the design and creation of a single figure of One Piece."

"A customer from China?"

"Correct!"

"Create a figure of what kind of character is One Piece?"

"Looks like a white beard..."

Ge Xiaohua communicated with Yamamoto Yuji on social software, and learned the meaning of Shueisha and the type of hand-made figure. It turned out to be one of the Four Emperors nicknamed Whitebeard by Edward Newgate of One Piece.

Although Whitebeard died in the battle on the top, his spirit and the title of strongest are still loved by fans.

Therefore, the derived figure is also rich and diverse. It is not surprising that someone specially customizes the figure of White Beard, but it is strange that the pomp is so big, and Ge Xiaohua is also planned to participate?
"China's richest man? It should be from the younger generation. I guess the value is still very high, otherwise the Jiying society pays so much attention to it?" Ge Xiaohua thought to himself, since he knew that it was customized by a big Chinese customer, if Ge Xiaohua participated, the customer might be more interested Satisfied, so Shueisha has something to ask of him, so knowing this, Ge Xiaohua will take the initiative and try to strive for the greatest benefit when discussing cooperation.

Japanese Shuei society guest room.

Ge Xiaohua brought a Chinese-born lawyer in Japan to Shueisha. A lawyer who is proficient in Chinese can work for Ge Xiaohua better, as a translator and review contract, and the price is one, instead of two.

Horiuchi Marue is the president of Shueisha, a Japanese man in his 40s. As one of the largest publishing houses in Japan, he has many high-quality comic copyrights. The status of Shueisha in Japan can be imagined, and Horiuchi Marue Meeting Ge Xiaohua in person shows the importance he attaches to him.

"Hello, Mr. Horiuchi Marue." Ge Xiaohua said in Chinese, and the lawyer standing next to him translated simultaneously. As the lawyer invited to accompany him, he also acted as an interpreter, and the price was very reasonable. Ge Xiaohua felt that it was still very useful to bring a lawyer necessary.

Ge Xiaohua and Horiuchi Marue exchanged polite words, drank some tea, and began to get to the point.

"Ge Jun, according to the regulations of our Shueisha, designers can only get a certain commission every year, and then draw about [-]% of the cost of designing figures."

Ge Xiaohua is actually not interested in these remunerations. What he wants is authorization. With the authorization of Shueisha, Ge Xiaohua can create extended hand-made works of "One Piece", "Naruto" and "Saint Seiya" in a fair manner, so even if this time He also wanted to buy a license if the cooperation to jointly create figures was unsuccessful.

"Mr. Horiuchi Marue, forgive me for not agreeing. The conditions you offer cannot meet my psychological requirements, and I don't have time to go to Japan to communicate with the designers in your agency. Language is one aspect, and there is also aesthetic aspect, so ..."

"Ge Jun, the conditions are negotiable, and I can increase the commission!" Horiuchi Marue didn't want to lose the opportunity to cooperate with Ge Xiaohua, because the Chinese customers who came to customize the figure are very powerful, he can't offend, and the price is very generous.

"I think Mr. Yuji Yamamoto is very suitable for this kind of cooperation with your Shueisha." Ge Xiaohua pushed Yamamoto Yuji out. In fact, Shueisha is also considering Yamamoto Yuji, but there is a big client who is looking for Ge Xiaohua, so he thinks that if there is a Chinese design division, it will be easier to open up the Chinese market.

Ge Xiaohua just wants to authorize, and then make figures by himself. He is not worried about the market, but he just doesn’t want to be controlled by Shueisha. Once he becomes an employee of Shueisha, there will be a lot of troubles. This is different from Marvel, because he has become a figure of Shueisha The designer can't bring him fame. After all, those comics have already come out. If it's just a hand-made carrier, there is no need to cooperate with Shueisha, but authorization is the purpose of this trip.

"Mr. Horiuchi Marue, don't be disappointed. There are many designers like me in the Asian forging society. You can find a replacement. Even so, I think there is still a chance for us to cooperate."

"What kind of cooperation?" Horiuchi Marue seemed very interested. He knew that Ge Xiaohua was not only well-known in China, but also seemed to have achieved quite a lot in the United States. Although this kind of forging master seems to have no intersection with Shueisha Publishing House, but through the hands-on We got in touch again.

"I plan to buy the license to make hand-made figures for the extension of your three animations, "Naruto", "Saint Seiya", and "One Piece."

"Ge Jun really has a vision, this walking animation is well-known in the world, so naturally..."

"I know, the price must be high, but it's just an authorization to make figures..." Ge Xiaohua didn't know the price in this regard, but he didn't want to be cheated. After some bargaining, Ge Xiaohua got the production of three animation figures Authorization, and the price is still very expensive, but for Ge Xiaohua, the money will be earned back sooner or later.

The authorization of three animations in three years is only 300 million soft sister coins. I don’t do anything, just write a piece of paper, stamp it, and sign it. It costs 300 million, and it’s limited to three years...

Ge Xiaohua has to feel that once animation, movies, and novels become famous, with the increase of fame, the extended copyright value is beyond imagination.

"In the beginning, I paid 1000 million for the armor, but I got it down to 300 million, which is still reasonable. With the authorization of these three figures, as long as you find an order, the 300 million can be earned back! It's a pity that you can't get permanent permission."

This is also normal, the price of permanent permission is higher, and it is not cost-effective, it is better to get a three-year one first, and because of the additional attributes of anime figures, this will be several times higher than simply buying cold weapons, and Also easy to sell.

Ge Xiaohua completed the authorization in Japan and obtained the three-year authority to produce figures of "Naruto", "Saint Seiya" and "One Piece". Therefore, all the figures he produced belong to genuine figures, and he will not be held accountable for selling them. , and buyers and sellers will feel much more at ease, but only spent 300 million copyright fees, Ge Xiaohua thinks that Horiuchi Marue is still looking at the face of the Asian Forging Association, otherwise it is estimated that it will not be able to get it without tens of millions.

"Whitebeard's figure, he is holding a sword like Guandao in his hand. The blade of the naginata is not so wide, and it is a bit borrowed from the meaning of Guandao. No wonder Chinese customers want me to make Whitebeard's sword. Consideration? One-to-one comparison of huge figures?"
