Chapter 34: You're Always Too Soft-Hearted (Part II)

On Saturday, negotiations between the Hibiscus Society and Shueisha on the copyright issue of the girls' high school resumed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day, Miyahara gave up the rare time that could be spent all day drawing manga, and waited for the results of the negotiations between the two sides at the Hibiscus Society with a sense of worry and anxiety.

If he could, he hoped that the negotiations would lead to a satisfactory outcome.

It's not that he doesn't want to negotiate with Yoshishi Kubo and his sister, it's that it's not necessary. Because of his age, he will not be taken seriously by the other party when he participates in negotiations, and he believes that he cannot play a positive role in negotiations.

The negotiations are still dominated by Yoshishi Kubo, and besides, Yoshishi Kubo has already brought a high school student, Jun Miyahara, and if he brings Shizu Miyahara again, then the impression that Hibiscus Society gives to Shueisha will be too frivolous.

And it seems that the negotiations between the two sides did not seem to go well, Miyahara waited until four o'clock in the afternoon, and none of the participants in the negotiations on the Hibiscus Society side had not returned.

Just as he was anxiously pacing back and forth, Yoshishi Kubo returned to the Hibiscus Society with Jun Miyahara and several others.

"How did it turn out?" When Shizune Miyahara saw Yoshishi Kubo, she immediately asked.

"Jingjun, fortunately, 119.8 million, Shueisha signed a copyright transfer contract with us!" After seeing Miyahara Shizune, although Yoshishi Kubo didn't laugh out loud, the corners of his mouth were almost pulled to his ears.

He first handed the contract to Miyahara Shizune, then carefully picked up his briefcase and took out a check from it.

Miyahara glanced at the contract, put it aside, and then took the cheque with the same denomination of 119.8 million yen.

But......

"119.8 million?" Miyahara was a little curious about this number, how did the negotiations come up with such a number.

"Today's negotiations didn't go very well, and they were terminated for a while, but thanks to Junjun, we were able to get so much money, and in the final stage, she and Shueisha were fighting for every 100,000 yen, which is really thrilling." Yoshishi Kubo said.

Although Kubo said it very easily, Miyahara Jing could understand the hardships in the negotiation process, and he said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work, Kubo editor-in-chief, and thank you for your hard work, Sister Jun." ”

Unexpectedly, Jun Miyahara actually played an important role in today's negotiations, which really lived up to Miyahara's expectations.

However, even if Jun Miyahara is very capable of negotiation, in terms of the process, he seems to be a little bit of a money fan and a petty family, and he is bleeding for hundreds of thousands of yen...... But it doesn't matter, the Hibiscus Society was originally a small family, isn't 100,000 yen money? Shizune Miyahara is very supportive of her sister's approach.

As for being able to get the funds quickly after signing the agreement, firstly, because Miyahara Jing had made such a request, and secondly, Shueisha's side also wanted to pay the money as soon as possible and end the annoying negotiations with Hibiscus as soon as possible, and the two sides coincided.

Jun Miyahara just nodded, and Yoshishi Kubo said: "It's hard to talk about, it's my business, but the matter of the two or three things in the girls' high school has finally come to an end, and the copyright belongs to Shueisha, and no matter how good this manga is in the future, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Kubo already knew that Yuichi Miyahara had decided not to relinquish from the council, and Hibiscus Social gave Miyahara Shizune full responsibility, so his attitude changed slightly.

"Who said it had nothing to do with us?" Unexpectedly, Miyahara Jing said so.

Yoshishi Kubo was dumbfounded: "The copyright is gone, what does it have to do with us?" ”

Miyahara Shizune flicked the copyright transfer contract on the table with her fingers, and then said: "Two or three things about the girls' high school are Shueisha's, and that's true, but its author is still ours, isn't it?" ”

"Author? You mean Koyama Takama? Jingjun, are you kidding, Koyama has already gone to Shueisha. ”

Miyahara Shizune shook her head, then stretched out a finger and said, "Editor-in-Chief Kubo, there are three things for you to do now, first, cash this check and deposit it into our company account. ”

Yoshishi Kubo nodded, what a problem.

Immediately afterwards, Miyahara Jing raised a second finger and said, "Second, file the copyright transfer contract for two or three things in the girls' high school." ”

It's simpler.

"Third ......"

Shizune Miyahara held out a third finger, and at this time Yoshishi Kubo felt that he was smiling extraordinarily brightly.

"Third, send a lawyer's letter to Koyama immediately, but don't send it to him directly, and forward it to him through Shueisha."

"Send a lawyer's letter? Is there anything wrong with the contract for the girls' high school? ”

"There's nothing wrong with girls' high school, it's Koyama Takama who has a problem, and as I said, Koyama Takama is our person." With that, Miyahara walked around to the back of her desk and pulled out another contract from a drawer.

"This is Koyama Takashin's comic exclusivity agreement, and the contract period is ten years, which means that before this contract is terminated, Koyama is our person, and he is not qualified to publish his works in other manga magazines, otherwise it will be a breach of contract."

"Koyama Takashi went to Shueisha is already a de facto breach of contract, we are victims, in order to protect our legitimate rights and interests, of course we have to resort to the law, you know, RB is a country with a legal system." Miyahara said with a smile.

Yoshishi Kubo opened his mouth wide, that's right, what Miyahara Shizune said makes too much sense!

In the process of negotiation, both sides stared at the copyright of the girls' high school for two or three things, completely ignoring the problem of Koyama Takama himself, not only of Hibiscus Society, but also of Shueisha!

Maybe Shueisha didn't know that Koyama Takama himself had a problem at the beginning, or maybe Koyama Takama thought the problem too simply, thinking that he would not be held legally responsible if he went to Shueisha's Hibiscus Society.

"Indeed...... Indeed it is. ”

"So Kubo editor-in-chief, how much is the liquidated damages for Koyama Takama?"

"In the first year, Koyama Takazan's annual signing fee for the exclusive agreement was only 500,000 yen, but this year, after the two or three incidents at the girls' high school, we revised his signing fee and increased it to 5 million yen, the contract period was 10 years, and the liquidated damages were twice the signing fee."

"Is it only twice as much? It's too little, so it's enough for Koyama to compensate us with 100 million yen? Tell Shueisha that if you don't want your manga artist to be riddled with scandals, let Koyama Takama honestly pay liquidated damages, then we will return the contract to him directly, instead of going through the court. ”

Yoshishi Kubo swallowed and spitted, what does it mean that it is only 100 million yen, has Koyama Takama earned a total of 100 million in Hibiscus Society in more than a year?

"But, can Xiaoshan pay off the 100 million?"

"Editor-in-chief Kubo, don't be so soft-hearted, Koyama Takama is a young manga artist after all, and he will earn more in the future, even if he can't come up with it now, he can repay it slowly in installments, and the interest will be at the bank's general loan interest rate. Besides, isn't there still Shueisha, if Shueisha doesn't want to spend more than 100 million yen just now, then it will have to help Koyama Takama pay another 100 million. Miyahara said with a smile.

That's right, he just wants Koyama Takama to get something from the Hibiscus Society, and now he wants to spit it all out.

"But then we won't be pressured by Shueisha?" Kubo asked.

"That's true, but Shueisha's first angry target is definitely not us, but Koyama Takamasa, it was his failure to deal with the Hibiscus Society's side that caused such a problem, Shueisha can't do anything to us, but will be angry with Koyama Takama."

"Don't worry, RB Law has our back."

Shizune Miyahara said as if she believed in the laws of RB, and the contrived look was simply unsightly.

Yoshishi Kubo suddenly realized that now Koyama Takashin's contract is in the hands of Hibiscus Society, and the comic copyright of the girls' high school is in the hands of Shueisha, and the two aspects have been completely divided, and now Koyama Takashi can't come back if he wants to go back to Hibiscus Society, because returning to Hibiscus means that he will lose his best-selling manga, and he can't stay in Shueisha if he wants to, because his exclusivity agreement is in the hands of Hibiscus.

Therefore, he can only choose to pay the liquidated damages honestly.

Yoshishi Kubo's eyes were full of strangeness when he looked at Miyahara Shizune, didn't this young man think about doing this from the beginning?

is so black-hearted at a young age, Miyahara Jing is really suitable to be the president.

"Is there anything strange on my face?" Miyahara asked, pretending not to understand anything.

"No, it's nothing, I'll do these things as you ask me right away."

"Black Heart." Jun Miyahara spat out these two words to his brother after Yoshishi Kubo left.

"How can this be said to be a black heart, I am completely acting according to the law, no matter what aspect it is, we are all victims of this matter." Miyahara said with a very innocent expression.

"You were going to do that in the first place?" Jun Miyahara still knows a little about her brother, and she doesn't believe the innocence that is obviously pretended.

"It's not just Koyama Takamasa, although I don't think there's anything wrong with those cartoonists who left, but from a standpoint, of course, they must be held accountable, and I emphasize again that this is a legitimate demand, isn't it." Miyahara Shizu's tone was very flat, but in Miyahara's ears, no matter how you listen to it, there is a sense of revenge.

But this retaliation is legitimate......

So Jun Miyahara added, "Black heart, but I like it." ”

Of course, she knew what caused her father to fall ill, wasn't it because of the collective defection of these cartoonists? If Miyahara Jing did everything, it would disappoint her. At this time, she realized that although her younger brother's external personality has always been very mellow, he is a very "fair" person like her Miyahara Jun in his bones.

What is justice? It's very simple, it is to repay virtue with virtue, repay grievances with straightforwardness, return an eye for an eye, and return a tooth for a tooth.

The first target is Koyama Takamasa, then there are other cartoonists who have defected, and finally the publishing house that took in these cartoonists, which is the mastermind behind the crisis of the Hibiscus Society, and none of these people can get rid of it.
