The doorbell rang for "Ding Dong", and the instinctive first reaction was to take the initiative to stand up Kako Kitagawa said goodbye to everyone for the time being, and walked out of the living room with small steps, passed through a small part of the aisle, and came to the entrance to hit the main entrance. When I opened the door, I saw that it was none other than Jun Oda and Sakura Hanano, who was holding a fruit basket in both hands. On the one hand, she let them enter the door, and on the other hand, she knew that the two of them were afraid that they would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so she gently closed the door.

Kako Kitagawa walked into the living room together as they took off their shoes. Before she could open her mouth to introduce Chie Sakai to the two of them, she was Jun Oda, who came with a clear purpose and went directly to Takeshita Kusake, and opened her mouth first: "He Xi Takeshita-sensei's "Rashomon" won this year's Akutagawa Award. ”

Immediately, Sakura Hanano, who was carrying a fruit basket in both hands, also quickly stood on the right side of her fiancé and presented it out. Takeshita Kusaoke, who had to nod in response to this situation, had to politely take the fruit basket with both hands, and then handed it over to Kitagawa Kako, who was standing not far away.

Takeshita Kusaoke, who has only one side with them, knows that the purpose of Junsuo Oda, who is the editor of a small publishing house, is probably not simply to congratulate himself on winning the award, but to get the physical book distribution rights of his short and medium stories.

"Takeshita-sensei, can we borrow a place to talk?" Jun Oda, who wanted to talk to him alone, thought about the nobility of the literati, and in front of so many people, it was really not related to the naked word "money". What's more, before he came, he got a special explanation from the editor-in-chief.

"They are the people closest to me. Say whatever you want, nothing inconvenient. "I'm sitting on the couch with Takeshita Kusaokei, but I think it's not bad to listen to what kind of price the other party can finally offer in front of Sakai Chie, so as to urge her to be more attentive and active in maximizing her own interests.

"I know that Mr. Takeshita doesn't talk about work on holidays. However, I have an uninvited invitation here, and I hope you can listen to me about Sakura and Kako's friendship with classmates and neighbors for more than ten or twenty years. I saw that he was very resolute in his attitude, for fear that he would reject him like the last time he met at Disney, and then sat on the couch with him, and after the greetings of retreat, he didn't say too much politeness, and went straight to the point: "I came here, in addition to congratulating Mr. Takeshita on winning the Akutagawa Award, the highest award for pure literature in Japan, I hope that you can hand over the physical book distribution copyright of the published short and medium stories to our company to publish your first novel collection." ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he took a look at Chie Sakai's reaction, touched his chin with his right hand, and said with a thoughtful expression: "According to what you mean, do you want all of my published novels, or some of them?" ”

"It would be best if Mr. Takeshita could give me the copyright of all the physical books of the novel. If you still have unpublished novels, you can also be edited into a book by our company and sold together. The royalty to be given to teachers by our social award is 12%, and the one-time printing is 50,000 copies. Jun Oda, who took the entrustment of the editor-in-chief, also knew that this time he had made a lot of money to release the first book of Takeshita Kusaokei firmly in the hands of their club.

In my heart, I was able to get a royalty of 2,000 yen from this little-known small publishing house for 2,000*12%*5 equal to 12 million yen. It is impossible for him not to be moved by such generous conditions at all, and the reason why he agreed to publish the book is not just to make money. As for whether the book can be sold or not, it is absolutely impossible not to care at all. While making money by yourself, you can make more readers like your works, so as to maximize your popularity in this professional field.

"Miss Chie, what do you think?" Takeshita Kusaoke, who moved his body sideways, looked at Sakai Chie Dao, who was kneeling on the ground on one side, with a smile on his face.

When Jun Oda, who heard the word "Qianhui", suddenly remembered the beautiful editor Kitagawa Kako who had told Sakura about working in the Spring and Autumn of Literature and Art. He originally thought that he was one step ahead, but he really didn't expect that his peers were faster than him, and he was one step ahead.

"Could it be that you're Miss Chie Sakai? Editor of the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House? Jun Oda, who was not very sure, and directly pierced the window paper, seemed to see that Takeshita Kusaoji was intended to make the two of them compete for bids, and he would sell the physical book rights of those novels with the attitude of the highest bidder.

"Well, that's right, I'm Sakai Chie of the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House." It's really a little unclear what medicine is sold in Takeshita grass mustard belly, and Sakai Chie's vigilance has naturally increased a lot. After all, so far, he has not officially talked to him about the terms and conditions of the copyright of the physical book of the novel, but only mentioned it at the dinner table last night. She is well aware that as long as the parties do not formally enter into a formal contract that is protected by law, then there will be variables. Strictly speaking, there is no question of who is dishonest and who is not trustworthy, after all, the current Japan still uses the spirit of the contract as an important criterion to judge whether a person or company is honest.

"I have admired the name for a long time, and today I have the fate to meet you here with Xiangzi, which is really a blessing for three lives. I also hope that my peers will raise their noble hands so that our kind of small society can survive. Jun Oda, who knew that there was no father and son in front of his interests, felt the unprecedented pressure firsthand, and at the same time, he had to say the high-sounding words again.

Chie Sakai, who has not yet communicated with the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief of her publishing house in a timely manner, is not in charge of matters that are not within her authority, so it is not easy to make decisions directly. She was not too anxious, but she still more or less firmly believed that Takeshita Kusaoji would not easily agree to the price offered by the other party. In my own opinion, a small publishing house is a small publishing house, and I am afraid that this time it is a desperate gamble, after all, the disadvantage of the other party is also very obvious.

"Mr. Takeshita, if you give all the copyrights of the physical book to our publishing house, then the royalty will be increased to 15% for you." revealed that Xiao Chun, who was unable to hold his breath and was in a hurry, threw the final price code given to him by the editor-in-chief directly.
