Come 2000, Shang Yan Publishing was designated the official licensee, publishing the Old Master Q Compendium, which now sells around 20,000 copies per issue amid intense competition from the Japanese manga market, to the envy of other Taiwanese publishers.
一直到 2000 年，由上硯出版社獲得正式授權，發行百集《老夫子全集》，在日本動漫的強力壓境下，每期還可以售出 2 萬本，令出版同業稱羨不已。
