Chapter 116: Signing Meeting (Medium)
Sitting on the couch at home, Takeshita Kusaoke, is not thinking about his own signing meeting, but at the same time conducting the entrance examination for his daughter's selection at Waseda Elementary School. Although he didn't personally accompany Miyuki, that heart went with her.
"Takeshita-kun, regarding today's signing meeting, have you decided to reschedule it, or will it go ahead as usual? As far as my personal advice to you is concerned, I still hope that you will make a rescheduling. Sakai Chie, who hung up the phone of the head manager of Koizumi, did not directly quarrel with the other party, but left a lot of room to say that she would ask Takeshita Kusaoji himself again. He verbally said that he was helping the general manager of Koizumi to say more good things, so that Takeshita Kusaokei could come as planned. In fact, she still wants to reschedule, after all, there are too many people.
Takeshita Kusaoke, who didn't answer immediately, took out the old mobile phone and dialed the phone directly to Kako Kitagawa and asked, "Are you still going well on the road?" Did you go to Waseda Elementary School? Has Miyuki already entered the exam room? ”
Kako Kitagawa, who had been waiting outside the gate of Waseda Elementary School with many parents for a long time, stood on tiptoe and looked at the empty school gate with her eyes in anticipation, while holding a mobile phone in her right hand and answering: "The road is very smooth, and there is no accident." Not only did I arrive at Waseda Elementary School, but the exam started five minutes earlier. What will happen to your signing? ”
"My business is a small thing, and my daughter's business is a big thing. Miyuki finished her exam and called me. I want to listen to her tell herself, how did you do in the exam? It's all Takeshita Kusaoke, who is a father who cares about his daughter's future and fate, but he knows very well what this exam means to Miyuki, after all, it carries all the ardent expectations of Kitagawa Kako.
Kako Kitagawa has a very serious school complex. Although he strongly opposes this kind of exam-oriented education in his heart, he alone cannot shake the current educational selection model in Japan. He understands that he can't change it, so he can only follow the historical trend of this educational mechanism.
After learning about his daughter's situation, Takeshita Kusaoji hung up the phone with a little peace of mind. He raised his head unhurriedly, looked at Sakai Chie who was standing near him, and made a self-made decision: "The signing will continue as usual." I can't just reschedule because of the number of people and my own safety reasons, so that everyone waits and returns disappointed. ”
Feeling that he was right and firm in his attitude, Chie Sakai did not persuade him more, but once again dialed the phone number of the general manager of Koizumi, and turned their decision to come as promised. When he heard this good news, he was not only relieved, but also very grateful to the other party.
Sakai Chie, who picked him up for no reason, understands in his heart that he will be able to use it in the future, after all, a large national chain bookstore like this one is the best terminal for promoting and selling books. Even if she promotes the mediocre works of unknown writers in the future, she can get a good spot in the bookstore.
At this moment, Sakai Chie already had the idea of quitting her job and starting a business in her mind. As for the industry I entered, I was naturally relatively familiar with the publishing industry and had several years of real work experience. There is no shortage of funds, and she is a partner with one heart and one mind, and the target object is to lock in Takeshita grass mustard early.
Once he cooperates with him, it means that the newly founded publishing house will have a high starting point from the beginning, and it will not be obscure and overcome obstacles all the way, but will be a blockbuster and attract the attention of peers. After all, Takeshita not only has a great potential for writing and talent, is famous, but also prolific, and has a large following behind him. Therefore, with a certain influence, he will inevitably attract more readers and other writers.
"Since you've decided, then I'll let my butler personally drive the two of us to the scene." Sakai Chie, who was sitting next to him, first dialed the phone of his housekeeper and gave instructions, and then said lightly, seemingly unintentionally: "Haven't you thought about joining the National PEN Club or taking a stake in a publishing house?" ”
"If you have anything to say, just say it, you don't need to beat around the bush." Takeshita Kusaoke, who heard her words, said calmly while waiting for the housekeeper to prepare the car.
"I want to start a publishing house and need your help. You are not only the chief writer of the publishing house, but also a shareholder. As for the shares of the publishing house, we have one and a half. Your half does not need any capital injection, but you are the shareholder. If you think the proportion of shares is small, you can also have four for me, six for you, or three for me and seven for you. However, there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, the daily operation of the publishing house is all in charge of me, and you must not interfere arbitrarily. I have all the names of the publishing houses in mind. You can take one word from your name and one word from my name. "Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chie Sakai, who has revealed the grass creation plan, is bound to pull him into the gang.
"If you say that, then I'll have to sell myself all to you. It seems that you have been planning for a long time, and you almost got me on this thief ship with you. "Takeshita Kusasa, who understands that personal is a kind of intellectual property investment, does not question her personal ability. I was not too surprised by her idea, but I had expected it a long time ago. It's just a distinction between morning and evening.
"Just give me a good word, do it or not?" Reverted to talking to him straightforwardly, Sakai Chie didn't get a clear statement from him, and the certainty of pulling him into the gang was also open. I know Takeshita Kusaoke, and I know very well that he extremely dislikes being controlled by others, and he wants a free way of writing, and such a publishing house with a large number of shares in him is too convenient; On the other hand, even if he refuses himself, it is reasonable, after all, there is a lot of risk, and he really can't afford to make such a bet with his personal fame and real gains.
"I can't give you a direct answer if you want to be there, let me think about it for a while." Takeshita Kussake, who did not refuse a mouthful, did not have such an idea, but he was also well aware of the risks and instability involved. As the head of the family, he has to consider not only himself, but also Beichuan mother and daughter. Whether it is at present or in the future, there are many places to use money, so that you can't just do it with a hot head.
