Chapter 55: Buying the Publishing House You Work For
Ayase Tosaka doesn't look very old and well-dressed, so she should still be in her student stage.
However, such a girl who is not as tall as Ide Miyu, when she sits opposite her, she can make Ide Miwa feel a lot of pressure.
Especially when I heard Ayase Tosaka mention "Silk Girl".
Is it another person who has a relationship with Igarashi Sensei? I just don't know if the arrival of Ayase Tosaka is a good thing or a bad thing for Yoichi Igarashi's novel.
"Yes, do you have any advice from Ms. Tosaka?" Miwa Ide asked cautiously. Before I knew the purpose of Ayase Tosaka's visit, I couldn't tell too much news without handling it.
"Show me your plans for the book." Said to Miwa Ide in a commanding tone.
After listening to this request from Ayase Tosaka, Miwa Ide was stunned for a moment.
You know, even insiders of the Immortal River Bookstore have a hard time seeing the publicity plan for a certain book. Of course, a person in charge like Miyu Imate can see it, but Miyu Imate doesn't want to show Ayase Tosaka like this now.
Even in the face of the daughter of the Tosaka Foundation, Miyu Ide, a rookie editor, still has her professional ethics.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't provide Ms. Tosaka with your reasons and obligations regarding the promotion plan of "Silk Girl". Miwa Ide directly rejected the Immortal River Bookstore.
A new editor at a publishing house actually refused her request, which only surprised Ayase Tosaka a little and did not get angry.
"If, I say, if I buy the publishing house where you work, will I be able to get the publicity plan for 'Silk Lady'?" Tosaka Ayase asks Miwa Ide.
Although it was only said in Tosaka Ayase's mouth, Miwa Iate gasped because she fully believed that the other party had the strength to do so.
Moreover, if Ayase Tosaka really bought the Immortal River Bookstore, then her need was really nothing.
"Yes!" Miyu Iate said very unwillingly, now she already thinks that Tosaka Ayase came to the Immortal River Bookstore to target Yoichi Igarashi, otherwise how could she say that she would buy the publishing house.
"But you're doing it for no benefit other than satisfying your desires and ruining the future of a light fiction writer. Besides, I'll leave here after you do that, and I won't be in the company of people like you. Miwa Ide said the words that were holding back in her heart.
After listening to Miyu Ide's words, Ayase Tosaka laughed, making Miyu Iate suddenly unable to feel the tense atmosphere before.
"You're a good editor, but it's too easy to judge yourself. I just said that if you don't show it to me now, I'm ready to buy the publishing house where you work, but I didn't say that I want to destroy the author of "The Silk Lady". ”
"What?" Miyu Iate was a little stunned, and asked in surprise: "Did you say that you were going to buy the publishing house, did you really just want to see the publicity plan of "Silk Girl"?" ”
"Yes, I came to your publishing house today for one purpose." Ayase Tosaka explained once again the purpose of her visit, and this time it was much easier for Miwa Ide to accept.
It's just that, even so, Miwa Iride still has the idea that he can't come up with a publicity plan to show Ayase Tosaka.
"Tosaka-san, I'm sorry. Although I know that you have no ill will towards Mr. Xia Ye this time, the publicity plan of the novel is a confidential existence for us, and it cannot be shown to anyone other than the person in charge, so you may be disappointed this time. Miwa Imate rejected Tosaka Ayase again.
"Actually, I don't need you to show me, I can guess that part of your plan is to place advertisements on the TV stations you are familiar with and launch pre-sale activities on novel websites?"
"Then why?" Although Ayase Tosaka didn't say it all, he also said the usual propaganda methods of their publishing house.
"There's too little publicity, I'm not satisfied!"
"What?"
"I said that I am not satisfied with your publishing house's planned publicity plan for "Silk Niang", and the reason why I want to see your publicity plan is that I want to increase the publicity on your basis."
"Increased publicity? Why? Miwa Iate asked reflexively.
"Because I'm optimistic about this novel, I think he's going to spark a sales miracle in Neon, so now Iate Editor your choice is?"
At this moment, Miyu Ide was silent, and did not agree or refuse at the first time, because this was no longer a problem that she could solve alone.
"Can you let me go back and talk to my boss?"
"Yes, but my time is also limited, and if I don't have a satisfactory answer, I will have to buy the publishing house where you work to achieve my goal."
This is another illegitimate meal for Mr. Summer Night, and it's an illegitimate meal that is even more troublesome than Saki Mizushima?
"I'll do it as soon as possible, Miss Tosaka, please wait a minute." After leaving Ayase Tosaka in the reception room, Miwa Iride went to her boss's work area.
……
The communication with the top boss of the Immortal River Bookstore was very pleasant, and after explaining the intention of Ayase Tosaka, the head Sima Shang contacted the president of the publishing house.
The president finally agreed to let Miu Iride show the publicity plan to Ayase Tosaka, if it weren't for the president's feelings for the company he founded and the industry, maybe he would have agreed to Ayase Tosaka to buy the publishing house, and then he would have retired.
"But for this matter, I have to contact Huaguo's company to explain that we are going to change the publicity plan, and if we can, we can contact Mr. Xia Ye to tell him the news." The president of the publishing house said to Miwa Ide.
At the beginning, when I heard that Miwa Iate gave Igarashi a day's remuneration and sharing agreement, the president was a little dissatisfied. Because at that time, Igarashi Yoichi did not have anything else to support him to reach the peak of neon light novels except for the well-written novels and the background of the Chinese country.
However, this is no longer the case.
With a fan like Ayase Tosaka who did not hesitate to buy their publishing house to promote his novels, the situation was very different.
"Okay, I'll contact Huaguo's company now." Miyu Ide left the conference room after finishing speaking, because the time given by Ayase Tosaka was not long, and if it was delayed for a long time, something would go wrong.
When the time comes, the problems that arise will not be solved by Miwa Ide herself.
