"I've informed our legal counsel about this, and he'll be coming over shortly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Miyahara Shizune saw the worried look on Yoshishi Kubo's face, so he comforted and said: "Regarding this matter, the editor-in-chief of Kubo don't worry too much, Tokyo Metropolitan Culture Daily, I haven't heard much of this newspaper, just look at the name and you can guess that its circulation is not large, maybe it's just a local tabloid, our readers probably see such a newspaper, and it won't form any negative public opinion pressure, it's not that we are self-deprecating, but fundamentally a small publishing house of the size of Hibiscus Society can't attract much attention at all, When we can get the Asahi Shimbun or the Yomiuri Shimbun, you can be anxious again. ”

"Jingjun, this joke is not funny at all, no matter whether it is good news or bad news, as long as we can get on a newspaper like the Asahi Shimbun, then Hibiscus Society will really become the focus of public opinion." Yoshishi Kubo said with a bitter face.

The Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri Shimbun are definitely the kind of newspapers that fall into the apex of all print media on the planet, or rather, they are the most NB newspapers, both in terms of circulation size and social impact.

Let's put it this way, after the boom of the Internet and the decline of print media in 2010, both of these newspapers were able to maintain a daily circulation of 14 million copies, and almost every RB household will subscribe to these two newspapers, and you can imagine their influence, basically if there is any news reported on it, it means that the whole RB will know about it.

That's why Yoshishi Kubo said that Miyahara Shizune was joking, even if Hibiscus went bankrupt eighty times, there was no way to make it to the Asahi Shimbun.

"There is no need to worry about public opinion, no matter how those runaway cartoonists make speeches, there is no way to knock down the Hibiscus Society with their mouths, if you want to talk about the effect of the strategy, it is obvious that the last time they quietly poached a large number of people, it was more deadly......

But it's a pity that that strategy can't be repeated.,After all, the Hibiscus Society has already taken precautions.,They can't do things quietly anymore.,And since the defection.,The Hibiscus Society and the cartoonists have re-signed exclusive contracts.,The new contract may be more economically advantageous.,But the restrictions on the freedom of the cartoonists are more stringent.。

Eating a trench grows a wisdom, it is impossible for the Hibiscus Society not to remember.

"Now that the person behind the defection has finally jumped out on his own, what is the situation of this ladlily, and which publishing house does it belong to?" Miyahara asked, "I have to say that the other party is very smart, what they did last time was really deadly, taking advantage of the departure of Sealyl's highest-grossing cartoonist, they quickly poached nearly half of the cartoonists and editors from us, this ladlily is the new shoujo manga, so the cartoonists and editors they poached from us can just become the backbone and cornerstone of this magazine......"

"At the same time, they can also take the opportunity to destroy the desperate Hibiscus Society, easily solve the future shoujo comic competitors, and then unceremoniously squeeze our original living space."

"Maybe they still have the idea that after Simiel ceased publication, they could use the fame of the manga artists to whom we belonged, and their new issue of shoujo manga would be able to quickly gain a foothold."

"It's really beautiful, it's killing two birds with one stone."

Miyahara Jing really admires the other party's approach, you have to admit that the other party's level of digging corners is really high, they found so many cartoonists and editors in Simiel, and they didn't leak any news before the incident, which is really strange.

The other party's plan was perfect, but it's just a pity that they had one only miscalculation, that is, no one thought that Hibiscus Society had such a bug as Miyahara Jing as an energy-producing comic.

"The name of the publisher behind Ladlily's magazine is Miura Shosho, and their previous business scope does not conflict with ours at all, so we don't know much about them here, but we only know that their headquarters are located in Edogawa Ward, and there is a monthly manga serialized magazine, called ' Heartbeat, a monthly magazine, focuses on mystery and suspense that has nothing to do with shoujo manga, and the publisher's style is very stable, and the quality of the manga is also very good, so their magazine circulation has been stable, and it has maintained a monthly circulation of 450,000 copies in recent years. ”

"To be able to dig into the corners of your peers so blatantly, and then want to force us to death without any hesitation, is not a steady behavior." "However, judging by the sales of their monthly manga alone, their profitability is at least twice that of Hibiscus Society, and they can also open two manga serialized magazines at the same time, and the scale of operation is much stronger than that of Hibiscus Society...... Do they have a book department other than comics? ”

"It's not clear."

Miyahara was silent, even after being stabbed severely, the Hibiscus Society still didn't know much about the enemy's situation, or other than the general situation, the Hibiscus Society didn't know anything about the Miura Shosha.

Before Miyahara could ask again, there was a knock on the door of Yoshishi Kubo's office.

"Here comes our legal advisor." Yoshishi Kubo said as he walked over and opened the door.

"Jing-kun, this is our legal advisor Etsuzaburo Miyamoto."

"Miyamoto-san, this is the son of President Miyahara, and now the acting president and actual head of the Hibiscus Society, Shizu Miyahara." Yoshishi Kubo introduced the two to each other.

There are two legal counsels at Hibiscus, one who is responsible for day-to-day legal matters, such as drafting and reviewing general contracts, and the other is this Miyamoto Etsuzaburo, who is mainly responsible for major legal issues.

This was the first time Miyahara and Miyamoto Etsuzaburo had met, and the other looked to be in their thirties, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and dressed very smartly.

But judging from the appearance, this person belongs to the type of lawyer whose ability is trustworthy.

Miyamoto knew that the situation of the Hibiscus Society was urgent at this time, so he didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly to Miyahara Jing and Kubo Yoshishi: "Acting President Miyahara, Vice President Kubo, I have already learned about the situation of the Hibiscus Society before, and if I sue those manga artists who have left the company, I can guarantee that I will win the lawsuit and compensate." ”

"No, Miyamoto-san, it's more than that", Miyahara Jing wants more than just this thing, if you sue according to the contract signed between those cartoonists and Hibiscus Society, a lawyer can win the case, because it is clearly written in black and white, they breach the contract is a breach of contract, where is the need for Miyamoto Etsuzaburo.

Hibiscus pays Miyamoto so much legal fees every year, but it's not for him to do this.

"If one cartoonist leaves suddenly, of course, it's just a breach of contract, but isn't it a malicious business practice for seven or eight cartoonists to do it at the same time? What I would like to know is, are there any offences such as business sabotage or intentional commercial sabotage in the RB Law? ”
