Chapter 72: Obon (3)
ps: The students said that they had read enough of this paragraph, and to be honest, I wrote this paragraph sour enough, and after two or three chapters, it will end immediately. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the beginning of August, when Hibiscus Society got the final sales of Sealell's current issue, everyone, including Miyahara Shizune, breathed a sigh of relief, the sales results were not as good as they imagined, after all, it was not the ideal result that could be sold out as expected, of course, it was not as bad as imagined, judging by the margin of Killire's sales, the supplement was undoubtedly a success.
Were there any factors contributing to this result: the statements of Takama Koyama and those manga artists? Or is that the sales potential of Simimare? It is impossible to make a judgment, and Hibiscus does not have the energy to conduct statistical research on the purchasing psychology of readers.
After entering August, basically all the students in school have entered the summer vacation, and Miyahara Jing has become more busy because of her new plan, instead of enjoying the leisure and rest of the holiday.
Because it was still during the registration period, the application of the Hibiscus Club to participate in this year's winter icmarket was easily approved.
What Miyahara Shizune didn't know was that in the original time and space where he was, CM allowed official participation after C50 in 96, and only fandom associations and individuals were allowed to participate in the previous exhibition, but now it is after the broadcast of Sailor Moon in 92, and official participation is allowed. (Here, I would like to thank the book friend Yzylion for his information and tips, and I handled it as the will of the universe.) )
This is expected, not good news, the real good news is brought by Kyosuke Fujiwara.
He and his efficient manner helped the company secure a bank loan for more than Miyahara had estimated, and Fuji Bank made a one-time loan of 1.2 billion yen to the company, with no restrictions on its use, and a repayment period of eight years.
Not to mention anything else, the most important one is that there is no restriction on the use of funds Fujiwara Kyosuke has done it, and the amount of the loan is a full 50% more than the minimum limit of 800 million yen given by Miyahara Jing at the beginning, and he has to sigh that Fujiwara Kyosuke is a talent.
Sure enough, professional things should be done by professional people, if Miyahara Jing is allowed to be busy with the loan by himself, he may not be able to get a bank loan next year, and even if he can get a loan, it will definitely not be possible to get as much as 1.2 billion.
Of course, the result of using specialized personnel was that they were expensive, and according to the prior agreement, Hibiscus paid Fujiwara Kyosuke as much as 60 million yen. At this speed of making money, Miyahara Jing is convinced, but it is still the same sentence, Fujiwara Kyosuke's ability is worth this price, and he does not feel that he is at a loss.
With this money, Hibiscus will not be bothered by money in the short term, and the matter of supplementing editors, recruiting new cartoonists, and preparing for the resumption of shonen manga can really be put on the agenda.
Miyahara Jing's spending plan is extravagant, which makes Kubo Yoshishi very worried, this money is the sale money of the Hibiscus Society, according to Miyahara Jing's plan, he is very worried that the Hibiscus Society is hopeless in this life.
In this regard, Miyahara Jing's answer was "big husband, cute big", and then insisted on going his own way.
Another important thing is that after the diagnosis of Showa University Hospital, Yuichi Miyahara's body has finally stabilized, and there is no risk in long-distance flights in theory, and his trip to the United States for medical treatment has also been put on the agenda.
However, he insisted on leaving after Obon.
Unlike China, Japan's Obon festival is celebrated on August 13 of the Gregorian calendar, and probably because of Japan's unique mythological system of "eight million gods" and the concept of ghosts and gods such as becoming a Buddha after death, Obon, a festival that originated in Buddhism and was introduced from China, is extremely popular in both history and contemporary Japan, and is second only to the New Year.
In Japan, Obon is a festival to honor ancestors, and on August 13th, every household greets the spirits of their ancestors, and after the 4th, they send their souls back to the underworld in the form of a soul fire. So usually at this time, everyone has to go back to their hometown, but now because of the situation of the Hibiscus Society and Yuichi Miyahara's own physical condition, the Miyahara family is naturally unable to return to Okinawa.
In her previous life, Miyahara Shizune knew something about Obon in Japan, because it was a festival often shown in anime works, and the typical representative was the frequent Bon Odori, and the more famous Kyoto Omonja, which is often regarded as the peak event of Obon, and those mountain fires are actually soul-sending fires to send off ancestors.
After living in this world for more than a decade, Miyahara has become fully accustomed to the festival and the way the Japanese pray and celebrate, and during these days, he often reminisces about his loved ones from his past life.
People are always social creatures, and the so-called following the local customs is like this.
This is true even for Shizune Miyahara, not to mention Yuichi Miyahara, who grew up in Japan and can be considered a traditional Japanese, insisting on not going to the United States after August 13.
On Aug. 12, Yuichi Miyahara returned home from the hospital for the first time since he was admitted to the hospital for the first time two months ago.
After that, he personally presided over the sacrifice of his ancestors and relatives.
However, considering that the sooner the surgery was performed, he had to spend the first two days of Obon in Tokyo, or the afternoon of the next day, to catch a flight to the West Coast of the United States.
Shizune Miyahara's Obon ended early.
He was followed to the United States by two professional and English-speaking nurses, and Jun Miyahara, who insisted on walking with him despite Yuichi Miyahara's objections.
Taking into account the entire cost of surgery, hospital admission, and recovery treatment in the United States, this is actually a large expense, but the Miyahara family is a wealthy class after all, and Yuichi Miyahara has been running the Hibiscus Society for 20 years, and he still has personal savings, so there is not much pressure on money.
On August 14, Miyahara's family went to Tokyo International Airport to bid farewell to Yuichi Miyahara.
Miyahara Shizu, Miyahara Ruri, and Miyahara Shinji were all present.
"Sister Chun, my father will hand it over to you." Before leaving, Miyahara Jing also didn't know what to say, although the operation can basically guarantee success, but after all, no one will be 100% sure that there is a craniotomy.
Jun Miyahara just nodded and didn't speak, but Yuichi Miyahara said with a smile, "I don't have anything to do, but it's the Hibiscus Society's ......."
Miyahara Jing hurriedly asked him to stop, and at this time he said something about the Hibiscus Society, "Father of the company, please rest assured, when you come back, you will definitely be able to see a brand new Hibiscus Society." ”
This is a work-crazy man.
Yuichi Miyahara smiled helplessly, he also knew that he shouldn't the extra heart, and the Hibiscus Society would let Miyahara Jing toss.
At this time, the boarding prompt sounded, and it was time for Yuyu Miyahara and the others to get on the plane.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of Dad."
When passing by Miyahara Jing's side, Miyahara Jun said in a low voice.
Miyahara nodded, but suddenly opened her arms and gently hugged Miyahara Jun.
"Please, Sister Chun."
It's been n years, maybe it's n+1 years, and Miyahara Jing has never shown any closeness to Jun Miyahara, who is her sister.
So Jun Miyahara was embarrassed and overwhelmed by his sudden "attack", even a little annoyed, or maybe a little happy.
Anyway, she was stunned.
Then, the Miyahara family, who knew exactly what the relationship between the twin siblings was, burst into laughter together.
Yuichi Miyahara, who was walking in front, heard everyone's laughter and turned back a little inexplicably.
"Chunjun, what's the hair? It's time for us to go. ”
He didn't see the very friendly scene just now.
Her father's voice brought Jun Miyahara back to her senses, she glared at Miyahara Jing with some lack of confidence, and then hurriedly followed Yuichi Miyahara, never daring to look back at this side.
She hurriedly pretended to be calm again, which made Shinji and the others laugh louder.
In fact, in addition to Jun Miyahara and two specialized nurses, there is also a special person who went to the United States with Yuichi Miyahara, that is, Kyosuke Fujiwara, who can't be beaten by eight poles.
The loan made Miyahara realize that he was a capable person, so he had a new task.
However, he didn't bother the Miyahara family very interestingly, just nodded at Miyahara Jing, and then plunged into the crowd of people boarding the plane.
