In the box, even in the steaming hot pot, it can't melt, and the cold air between Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yasuya Akimoto can't be melted.

After Kiyoshi Sakamoto said his list, he was silent, even though Yasushi Akimoto's mocking words had penetrated his body.

The silence lasted almost five minutes.

"Akimoto-san, this is all the company's idea, and I also know that this requirement is very difficult. ”

"But!"

"I was entrusted by the company to be fully responsible for this negotiation, so if there is anything wrong with the negotiation, you can talk slowly, don't you say?"

After speaking, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also showed a warm smile at the right time.

Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's smiling face, Yasu Akimoto couldn't help but recall that three years ago, he had the first meeting with the young man in front of him.

The first time the two met was in the president's room of Naoki Kitagawa.

At that time, although Yasuya Akimoto didn't say much to him, it could be seen that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was just an immature newcomer.

Simple, no castle, is Akimoto Yasu's first impression of Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

However, now, the young man sitting in front of him is so comfortable and well-behaved when negotiating with himself.

Even at such an age, he was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by Sony.

It is conceivable that in the past three years, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's status and influence, as well as his own ability, have grown to a great extent.

So that Qiu Yuanyasu had to sigh, "Young and promising!"

However, no matter how much Yasuya Akimoto admires Sakamoto Kiyoshi, it is impossible to sign the five people in Sakamoto Kiyoshi to Sony.

Because, among these five people, they are all AKB talents in the eyes of Yasushi Akimoto.

Let's not talk about Atsuko Maeda, AKB who was set by him does not move ACE.

Yuko Oshima, this is the girl with the highest degree of completion in AKB.

Unlike other members who were ordinary girls before joining the group, Yuko Oshima was born as a child star, served as a child service actress, and even appeared in the Moon Nine drama, compared to other members, she knows these things in the entertainment industry better, and understands the curves and rules better.

This is a very smart, and very good, full of brilliance.

However, she is not so glorious after being cultivated, but she is born so brilliant.

This is not in line with the original intention of AKB established by Yasushi Akimoto.

Even so, Akimoto Yasu was still unwilling to give up on her.

And Yona Kojima is one of the core members of AKB, and she is also the face of AKB, and she is also one of the unshakable aces of AKB.

As for Mayu Watanabe, Yasu Akimoto cultivated her as the future ACE of the next era, and it is conceivable that he has expectations and attaches importance to Mayouyou.

There is also a graduate student named Rino Hara.,Although Akimoto Yasuya feels that she still has a lot of potential.,Yet,It's just potential.。。。

Therefore, if you want to rank these five people on a list in Yasushi Akimoto's mind, the first place is undoubtedly A-chan, Atsuko Maeda.

The second is Kojima Yona.

The third is Yuko Oshima, and the fourth is Mayu Watanabe.

Finally, it refers to Hara Rina.

。。。

"If five people are unlikely, what about the three people?" At this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi made a move.

Negotiations and negotiations, of course, must be negotiated before they can continue.

And Sakamoto thought early in the morning that it was impossible for Yasusu Akimoto to sign the core members in his hands to Sony so simply.

Therefore, he didn't say directly at the beginning, only three people, but first opened his mouth and said the names of five people, confusing the public, making the negotiation have the possibility of price reduction, and also making Akimoto Yasusu unclear which members Sony wanted, which ones they were.

"Oh, three of them?" Akimoto Yasushi was also a little surprised that Kiyoshi Sakamoto lowered the conditions so quickly.

However, compared to five people, the quota of three people made Akimoto Yasu reluctantly acceptable.

"That's right, Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, and Yona Kojima, how about it?"

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words once again left Akimoto speechless.

Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, Yona Kojima?

You might as well grab it!

"Impossible!"

"That... Kiyoshi Sakamoto continued to confuse the public, "Yuko Oshima, Mayu Watanabe, Yona Kojima?"

"Hmm. Still won't work. ”

In the end, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that it was almost confusing, he named the three people he originally saw.

"Akimoto-san, you are like this, it is difficult for me to explain to the company, otherwise, we will have an Atsuko Maeda, plus two times, so that your vitality will not be greatly damaged, and I can also have an explanation in front of President Kitagawa, how about it?"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi seemed to be reminding Akimoto Yasushi that everyone had worked together before, and the business was no longer in love, and he should not continue to worry about it.

"Hmmm... ”

After pondering for a while, Akimoto Yasu also felt that such a result might be the best result.

Although I am very reluctant to A-chan, if Atsuko Maeda can sign with Sony, it will definitely be more beneficial to her personal development, and such a benefit will still be fed back to AKB, which is also a good destination.

"Well, well. After saying this, Akimoto Yasushi involuntarily closed his eyes.

He knew that today was the first time to "sell" the members of the AKB.

But, definitely not the last!

He knew that once the opening was opened, he couldn't stop.

Today it's Atsuko Maeda, tomorrow it may be Yuko Oshima and others, today it's Sony, tomorrow it may be Ota, Ogi...

However, before accepting Kumiko Isono's transfer plan, Yasu Akimoto was mentally prepared for AKB to be divided among major firms.

Therefore, he only sighed inwardly and opened his eyes again.

"I'll send someone to take the contract to Sony.,Since they become Sony's artists in the future.,So,I'm going to bother Sakamoto-kun.,You take care of it a lot.。。。 ”

"Of course, I promise you, I won't let them be bullied!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto patted his chest and agreed earnestly.

。。。。。。

The next day, Atsuko Maeda, Mayu Watanabe, and Rino Fingerhara, the three of them were called into the office by Yasushi Akimoto.

Just when the three of them looked at Qiu Yuankang with puzzled expressions, Qiu Yuanyasu's words made the three of them stunned.

"From now on, you will be Sony Music's artists. ”

"Mr. Akimoto, this... What does this mean?!" Among the three, the person who dared to ask such a question for the first time was only a first-term student, Atsuko Maeda.

I saw A-chan's eyes red, as if she was holding back tears,

With a crying voice, she asked Akimoto Yasu, "Akimoto-sensei, don't you want us?"

Looking at A-chan's appearance of holding back tears, Akimoto Yasushi also felt uncomfortable in his heart.

However, this decision is an important step to save AKB, if the huge financial pressure cannot be relieved as soon as possible, AKB may not wait, he found a new investor, and disbanded...

Therefore, even if it was a difficult decision, Yasu Akimoto had to continue.

On the side, Rino Zhihara also pursed her lips, her face was obviously stubborn, and it could be seen that she was not at peace in her heart at this time.

You know, she is a fan of the Good Morning Girl Group, and in order to become an idol, she has participated in many Good Morning auditions, but she has been unsuccessful.

It wasn't until AKB accepted her that she truly realized her idol dream.

Today, the AKB is in a huge crisis, but it itself cannot get through it with the AKB, but is it "abandoned"?

This made her heart stronger, and she could hardly hold back the sadness in her heart.

Even if I don't quite understand what Akimoto Yasu's words mean, however, seeing that Atsuko Maeda and Rino Fingerhara's two sisters are excited and sad, Mayu Watanabe, who is cute on the side, is also nervously rubbing the corners of his skirt with his fingers, looking helpless, like a frightened rabbit.

"Don't get me wrong!"

At this time, Akimoto Yasushi spoke again.

"It's not abandoning, it's not about not wanting you anymore, it's a move to save AKB. ”

The third daughter also quietly listened to Akimotoyasu's explanation.

"Signing your personal brokerage contract to Sony Music is to alleviate AKB's financial pressure today, and on the other hand, to make your development more targeted and conducive to your personal activities, so you are still a member of AKB. ”

Now, it is impossible to hide it.

After all, the girls of AKB are not stupid.

The overwhelming news and various magazines that sang about AKB and Yasu Akimoto made the members of AKB feel a strong sense of crisis.

"Countdown to AKB's disbandment", "AKS is in financial crisis", "Is the myth of Yasu Akimoto coming to an end?"...

All kinds of appalling headlines make them uneasy all day long.

It was only in the theater that filled the theater every day that they regained some sense of security.

However, Yasu Akimoto suddenly "sold" himself, which undoubtedly scared Atsuko Maeda, who was ACE.

This is also the reason why Atsuko Maeda will question it in the first place.

Even at the age of 17, she knows that AKB's current situation is very bad.

And in order to appease the three of them, Yasuya Akimoto specially explained.

Hearing "I still belong to AKB", the three girls couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

For the trio, AKB is like their home, the place where dreams begin, and the place they never want to leave if they can.

。。。。。。

A few days later.

SMA, in a conference room.

Atsuko Maeda, Rino Tsuhara, and Mayu Watanabe, who came with their guardians, all sat in their chairs nervously and waited for Sony's signing ceremony to begin.

Smack!

The door to the conference room was pushed open.

I saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto walking in behind SMA president Tsuyoshi Sato.

After a period of greetings, the signing ceremony officially began.

Of course, the three little girls who have not yet reached adulthood are all signed by their respective guardians.

On the side, Kiyoshi Sakamoto pulled the three little girls to his side, smiled and stretched out his hand to them, and said.

"From now on, I will be your senior. ”

"Please advise!"
