After a short rest, it was almost time, so Chen Fang went to the kaiseki restaurant that Jin Tian and Shiro had agreed to meet.

Jin Tianxia had been waiting for a long time, and now a man and a woman had appeared beside him.

The woman, Chen Fang, looked very familiar, but I couldn't quite remember her name. The man was refined and wore glasses, looking like a social elite.

"Shen Sang, this is Hideo Hatta, the general manager of the Kyoto Group, and this is Yui Aragaki. I am very grateful for your hospitality in Beijing, and I will certainly not disappoint you this time."

Shen Fang raised an eyebrow. "Yui Aragaki, wow, the national goddess, she looks so young now."

Yui Aragaki also looked at Chen Fang with great curiosity, a hint of surprise showing in her empty eyes. So, the handsome guy she was going to be drinking with tonight was quite something?

Although Yui Aragaki has been in the industry for several years, celebrities in Japan don't have the same power as those in China. To the chaebols, they're just playthings; there's a clear class system, and they don't earn much money. Despite being a popular star, it's useless. If Shigeji Shinta, the chairman of the corporation, dares to refuse her request, she can forget about working in Japan forever.

Shen Fang smiled and said, "President Jin Tian is too kind. And you are Hachiten Yoko?"

Hachiten Hideo smiled and said, "He is my father."

Shen Fang nodded. The Crown Prince of Kyoto, tsk tsk.

Kyoto Animation is Japan's largest animation company, also known as KyoAni. It is arguably one of the most famous animation production companies in Japan. Its founder, Yoko Hatta, was once an assistant to Osamu Tezuka, the "God of Manga".

Founded in 1981, Kyoto Animation Studios is the predecessor of Kyoto Animation. Renowned for its delicate, refined, and transparent art style, its works have a wide fan base, enjoyed by people of all ages and genders!

Since its inception, it has produced many excellent animation works.

Like Crayon Shin-chan, Cardcaptor Sakura, Death Note, Chihayafuru

Parasyte, One-Punch Man, Kakegurui, and Demon Slayer are all produced by this company. Shen Fang watched a lot of their anime in his previous life.

Kaiseki cuisine, a Michelin three-star restaurant, can easily cost around 5000 RMB per person for a casual meal.

Since Chen Fang was an honored guest, he naturally received the best hospitality.

As everyone ate and chatted, Yui Aragaki sat down in front of Shen Fang and poured him wine. To be honest, Yui Aragaki is a beauty with a refined air. She may not be particularly stunning at first glance, but like fine wine, she becomes more and more flavorful with each sip.

Shen Fang caught a whiff of osmanthus fragrance, glanced at Yui Aragaki, and smiled slightly. Yui Aragaki was momentarily stunned by his gaze.

"Chen Sang, the reason I invited you here today is to discuss how to introduce our excellent Japanese comics and anime to the Chinese market."

Shen Fang took a sip of wine.

They look like Jin Tian Shigeji and Yata Hideo.

"Of course it's a collaboration. I'm a very reasonable person. You'll be responsible for distribution, and I'll be responsible for importing the works. We'll split the profits 50/50, establish a personal publishing company, and build an online animation video streaming platform to import the works. I'll cover the copyright fees."

Jin Tianxia frowned upon hearing this: "Chen Sang, isn't this going too far?"

"We provide the money and the effort, and you just act as a go-between and want a 55% cut?" Hachiten Hideo looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Shen Fang shook his head: "President Jin Tian, ​​Manager Ba Tian, ​​you need to know one thing. China is a vast country with abundant resources and a population of 1.3 billion. What kind of market is this? The animation industry is a cultural industry. Without my help, even if China and Japan are in a honeymoon period, cultural exports are strongly resisted in any country. If you are not allowed in, you will not earn a single penny."

"I guess you've tried everything, but nothing works. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me, President Jintian. You know my network of connections; it goes directly to the top. No one but me can help you enter the Chinese market. The cultural industry is a very sensitive industry chain. Without connections, it's impossible to enter another country's market."

“But, Chen Sang, you’re asking for too much.”

Shen Fang waved his hand, revealing his bright white teeth: "1.3 billion people, if you earn 10 yuan from each person, that's 13 billion RMB. What kind of market is that? Your Japanese anime has always been very popular in our country, and there are also pirates who make profits from it. I'm helping you. We're cooperating. Whether it works or not doesn't matter. To be honest, I could do this business or not. I only reluctantly agreed because President Jintian wanted to teach my friend. You should know about the enmity between China and Japan. Doing this kind of business is very sensitive."

Jintian Shigeji and Hachiten Hideo exchanged a glance.

"Chen Sang, do you absolutely need half the profit?"

Shen Fang shrugged: "Absolutely. I'll donate most of the money I earn to help children in impoverished mountain areas."

Making this money is genuinely risky for Shen Fang. Doing business with these low-level people could easily earn him a reputation as a traitor and a collaborator with Japan. Frankly, this money is too hot to handle; he'd rather spend it on reputation and donate all his earnings. What he values ​​most are the copyrights to Japanese anime. With these valuable assets, Bilibili can be launched sooner. That's where the real money is!

"Donate it?" Hachiten Hideo didn't understand.

Shen Fang looked helplessly at Jin Tianxia: "President Jin Tian, ​​you should understand, right?"

Jin Tianxia smiled and said, "Chen Sang, you're truly a clever person. Alright, I agree to this cooperation!!!"
