After a round of fierce arguments, Kanna Sakai successfully changed the term of Araki Haku's contract to 1 year, and a year later, Araki Haku had the right to renegotiate the contract with G Company.

And the rest of the place has not changed much, after all, the contract fee of 15 million a year is already very high for a newcomer like Araki Haku, as for royalties and the like, when Araki Haku's works become famous, they can continue to negotiate in the second year.

After leaving G Society, Araki Bai sincerely thanked Kanna Sakai.

"Sakai-san, thanks to your help this time."

Kanna Sakai smiled and said, "Mr. Araki doesn't have to be polite, I'm just doing my part." ”

At this moment, Araki Haku's cell phone suddenly rang, and he made an apologetic gesture to Kanna Sakai and picked up the phone.

It turned out that the call was from Yuko Araki.

Yuko Araki hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother, the Black Spring Society said that I wanted to go to their side to sign a contract, can you accompany me?" ”

Araki Bai glanced at Kanna Sakai beside him, and suddenly smiled: "Miss Sakai, can I trouble you again?" ”

Kanna Sakai blinked in confusion.

The Black Spring Society is a publishing house that has only been established in recent years, focusing on youth literature.

In the past, the Black Spring Club only accepted manuscripts, but with the rapid development of the Internet, the Black Spring Club also opened an online submission.

The light novel contest that Yuko Araki participated in was held on the Internet.

Online submissions are indeed much more convenient than traditional submissions, and authors from all over the country can write novels as long as they have access to the Internet.

But it also poses a problem, because you don't know if it's a human or a dog writing a novel on the other side of the network.

Just like the author of "Original Sin の Girl" who was selected for this light novel contest, although editor Hideya Shimamura saw that the other party's writing was a little immature, but he definitely didn't expect that the other party was still a 13-year-old junior high school student.

So after learning about Yuko Araki's situation, Shimamura specially contacted her and solemnly explained the issue of signing a contract for the sale of light novels.

Normally, minors can't publish novels, but Shimamura tells Yuko Araki that she can publish them in her parents' name, and that she still has her own pen name anyway, and there is nothing to lose.

And listening to what Yuko Araki meant, she seems to be reluctant to let her parents out. asked Shimamura if she could sign the contract directly in her mother's name.

It is important to know that if the signature on the contract is not signed by the signatory, then such an agreement will not have legal effect.

So Shimamura can only regret that if Yuko Araki wants to publish her light novel, she can only sign a contract with her parents. Because she is not even 14 years old, she can only be regarded as an underage girl in law, and she cannot bear any legal responsibility or obligation at all.

Yuko Araki was helpless and could only turn to Araki Bai for help in the end.

While there was still time today, Araki Haku found a car, took Kanna Sakai, and went home to pick up Yuko Araki, so she went to the Black Spring Society together.

Compared to the office building of G Society, the Black Spring Society is obviously much inferior. However, although the place is small, at least the magazine office looks quite neat, and most of the members are young people, with a kind of youthful vitality.

Yuko Araki first checked in at the front desk, and then the front desk made a call to Hidehide Shimamura.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked out, he looked thin and small, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he looked a little meticulous.

"I'm Shimamura from the editorial department of the Black Spring Society." He looked at Yuko Araki and asked, "Presumably this is Miss Yuko?" ”

Yuko Araki's pen name is very strange, so she is called Miss Yuko.

Yuko Araki said a little stiffly, "Hello...... I'm Yuko Araki, this is my brother Haku Araki, and this is Miss Sakai, a lawyer. ”

Shimamura pushed his glasses and looked at the three people in front of him with some curiosity.

"Is Yuko-sama ready to sign a contract? And a lawyer? ”

Kanna Sakai said, "Since Miss Yuko is not yet 14 years old, she needs to be accompanied by a guardian to sign the contract, and Mr. Araki Haku is currently Yuko's guardian. And I just accompanied to see the signing agreement. ”

Shimamura nodded and said, "Since Miss Sakai and Mr. Araki are present to verify the signing, then there is no problem, please come with me." ”

A few people found a conference room to negotiate the conditions for signing the contract, in fact, the signing conditions of the Black Spring Club are very relaxed, and the author only needs to sign the work, not the person, which is very different from the contract of the G Society.

For example, if it is less than 100,000, the royalty is 8%, and between 100,000 and 300,000, the royalty is 10%. There is an ascending arc.

Kanna Sakai carefully scanned the agreement and found that there were no pitfalls, so he said, "The agreement is very fair, and it seems that everything that can be considered for the author has been considered." ”

Shimamura smiled and said, "It's not that I'm boasting, our magazine has always given priority to authors, which is why it has grown into the largest light novel publishing house in China in just a few years." ”

Kanna Sakai nodded and handed the agreement to Araki Haku's hand.

Araki Haku wrote her name in the guardian column, and Yuko Araki also wrote her name in the author column.

"Can you print a copy of this agreement to me?" I want to make a backup in my law firm. Kanna Sakai said.

"No problem."

Shimamura led the three of them to a printer, copied a copy of the agreement and handed it to Kanna Sakai.

"Congratulations, Yuko-sama, your work will soon be available in bookstores across the country." Shimamura said to Yuko Araki with a smile.

In fact, what he said is a bit exaggerated, although the Black Spring Club claims to be the country's No. 1 light novel base, but it can only cover the surrounding areas of Tokyo and some big cities.

But no matter how much area it can cover, Yuko Araki will obviously be happy. Not only because her novels can be read by others, but also because she can finally make money on her own.

The three of them said goodbye to Shimamura and left the Black Spring Society.

When saying goodbye to Kanna Sakai, Araki Bai took out three 10,000 yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to her.

Kanna Sakai hurriedly excused herself, "I don't need so much, Mr. Araki." ”

Araki Bai insisted: "This is what you deserve, I can't thank you for letting you run so far with me today." ”

Kanna Sakai took the money and smiled, and said, "Then I'm welcome." Thank you, Mr. Araki, and I hope to have the opportunity to work together. ”

Araki Shiro stretched out his hand and shook her hand, and said, "If you have a chance in the future, don't forget that I already have Miss Sakai's phone." ”

Kanna Sakai's face turned slightly red and said, "Goodbye then, Mr. Araki." ”

Araki Bai and his sister waved goodbye to her.
