"Does President Miyahara mean that someone is behind this mass resignation?" Echizaburo Miyamoto asked tentatively. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't choose to answer Miyahara's question right away.

"What does Miyamoto-san think?" Miyahara asked rhetorically.

What did this Miyamoto lawyer mean by the question just now? Isn't this an obvious thing, if it wasn't organized and manipulated, why would so many manga artists leave the Hibiscus Society without warning, along with their editors?

Miyahara began to realize that there might be something wrong with Etsuzaburo Miyamoto.

"We've found out that there was a shadow of a publishing company called Miura Books behind the departure, and the manga artists and editors who left us went to that publishing house." Yoshishi Kubo said for Shizune Miyahara.

"This ......"

Hearing Yoshishi Kubo say this, Echizaburo Miyamoto was silent, and the entire office fell silent for a while.

When it comes to the issue of Miura Shosha, why did Echizaburo Miyamoto stop speaking? He's the legal counsel of the Hibiscus Society.

Miyahara was increasingly unhappy with the legal consultant's performance.

"President Miyahara, let me make it clear, if Hibiscus wants to claim back the liquidated damages of those manga artists, there is no problem at all, and it can be resolved through negotiation without even going through the court procedure, but if you want to pursue malicious commercial infringement and other things, then it is likely to involve Miura Shosha, and in that case I am not sure of winning the lawsuit."

"Is there any problem with the Miura book society?" Miyahara asked with a frown, he wanted to hear what he Miyamoto wanted to say.

"President Miyahara may not know that my law firm's main service target is copyright companies, and we specialize in handling copyright industry disputes...... Let me put it bluntly, just like Hibiscus Society, Miura Shosha is also our customer, and we will pass on the message to you that if you only want liquidated damages from the manga artist here, there is no problem at all in paying compensation there, but if Hibiscus Society wants more, it will inevitably have to go through legal procedures......"

"As the legal counsel of the Hibiscus Society, I will definitely handle this matter as you ask, but there is a high probability that I will be pressured by the firm, so I cannot guarantee victory."

Miyahara understood where Miyamoto's hesitation was coming from.

Miura Shosha and Hibiscus have in-house counsel from the same law firm, but for this firm, the former is undoubtedly a "big client", so when there is a conflict of interest between the two, they will of course prioritize the protection of the big client.

What Etsuzaburo Miyamoto said just now meant was that if the Hibiscus Society really had to sue together with the Miura Shosho, then it was very likely that he would not be able to contribute to the court.

Although Miyahara Shizune originally had no intention of suing Miura Books, he no longer had the slightest trust in Miyamoto Etsuzaburo at this time!

What kind of legal consultant is he, he is clearly a big commercial spy, and he did not shy away from coming to the stage! Maybe before the resignation incident, he had already begun to reveal the situation of the Hibiscus Society to the Miura Shosha!

So Miyahara Jing no longer has a trace of patience for Miyamoto Etsuzaburo.

"Miyamoto-san, I understand your situation very well, and I also understand that it is difficult for you to get out of your office, so this matter has nothing to do with you."

"President Miyahara, what do you mean by that?" Etsuzaburo Miyamoto's task is to get the Hibiscus Society to honestly accept the liquidated damages of those manga artists, but listening to the meaning of Miyahara's words, things are not the same as they expected.

Shizune Miyahara ignored Miyamoto, and then asked Yoshishi Kubo, "Editor-in-Chief Kubo, how many years do we sign a legal entrustment contract?" ”

"Once a year."

In the case of the Hibiscus Society, they cannot afford to hire a well-known lawyer and do not need a well-known lawyer, and although their legal advisers do not change frequently, they will not sign a contract for too long because of the economic situation.

Yoshishi Kubo also roughly understood what Miyahara wanted to do, in fact, he was much angrier than Miyahara at this time!

Although the business situation of the Hibiscus Society is not very good, will it be worse than this legal fee?!

Those cartoonists and editors who defected from the Hibiscus Society are like the descendants of the old king next door who were raised by their own hands, and now the other party wants to silently pay some alimony, how can there be such a good thing?

Miyahara Jing nodded at Yoshishi Kubo, and then said to Miyamoto Etsuzaburo: "Miyamoto-san, I understand your difficulties, so please understand us as well, and the legal entrustment contract between us will be terminated from today." ”

In a very official way, Miyahara was very suspicious of the professional ethics of Etsuzaburo Miyamoto and the firm behind him, so there was no need to continue the legal entrustment contract.

That's right, at this time, of course, it is necessary to accuse them of not having a work ethic, isn't this word born to accuse others.

Hearing Miyahara Shizune say this, Miyamoto Etsuzaburo's face suddenly became gloomy, but he was still trying his best to maintain the appearance of the social elite.

"President Miyahara, of course it is your freedom to terminate the entrustment contract with us, but you have to think clearly, at this time, only I know the situation of the Hibiscus Society best, and I am the best helper for the Hibiscus Society, but once I leave the Hibiscus Society, maybe the situation on your side will be known to Miura for some reason!"

The threat in this sentence is really low-level, and Miyahara wonders how this guy who dresses up like a dog has been in the legal profession for so many years? Can't you be a little more aggressive and talk a little deeper?

The Hibiscus Society is really choking, and it picks and chooses such a guy as a legal affairs consultant, no wonder his own people can be poached by others silently.

However, Miyahara Jing didn't care about Miyamoto's threat, as if the other party didn't know the details of the Hibiscus Society now, and he seriously suspected that the inside story of the Hibiscus Society had been sold by this guy at this time.

So he doesn't care, he doesn't care, he won't loosen his mouth a little.

"It's strange, isn't there a confidentiality treaty in the legal entrustment contract we signed? As our in-house counsel, after being dismissed, we immediately sold our company completely, if you really dare to do this, do you think there will be any company that will dare to use you in the future? You wouldn't be such an idiot, would you? Now, please leave the Hibiscus Society, we have no recourse to the lawyer's fees paid to you every year, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous! ”

"You ......" Miyamoto Etsuzaburo is indeed subject to the restrictions of the confidentiality treaty, he has no way to blatantly provide the materials of the Hibiscus Society to Miura, Miyahara Jing said it makes sense, as long as he still wants to mix in this industry, he can't let customers think that he has no sense of confidentiality, otherwise he will not have customers in the future.

Of course, this is only on the surface, and secretly he will always have a way to operate.
