"Look at him, pretending to be busy, it's all on purpose."

Xiao Ling looked at Kuroki Castle, who was on the phone over there, and continued to say to Honami.

"I'm going to see someone in a moment." Kuroki said.

"It's okay, we can just go shopping." Honami said.

Kuroki Castle made an appointment with the guy named Kitano.

Kitano learned that he was eating at the mall and was rushing here.

At that time, he was amazed that the other party, as the president, could be so humble.

He thought that the status of traditional writers in the 11th arrondissement was very high.

There is a plot in a drama that destroys three views of Japan that I have seen, which is about a publishing house in order to get a manuscript from a well-known old writer, and the president even did not hesitate to accompany his daughter.

The TV series has an element of exaggeration, but it also says something.

Kuroki Castle was thinking, I don't know if this Kitano has a daughter.

Half an hour later, the three of them finished their meal and came outside the mall.

"Thank you for your hospitality today."

Xiao Ling, who did not have a high opinion of Blackwood City in private, was the first to speak.

"Then we'll see you tomorrow." Kuroki looked at Honami.

"Okay."

Honami hesitated for a while and agreed, but Xiaoling next to her was surprised and embarrassed to persuade her in front of Kuroki Castle.

What a silly girl, do you think you'll be the lucky one?

Xiao Ling thought about it like this, so she simply stopped persuading.

Suddenly, Xiao Ling noticed that there was a person nearby and hurriedly went over.

"President Kitano, why are you here?"

Xiaoling said enthusiastically.

The president in her mouth was a middle-aged man, of medium stature, slightly fat, looking around, and saw Xiaoling's brows furrowed.

Xiao Ling saw that he didn't remember, and she was not depressed, so she hurriedly introduced herself.

She is a contract model of the magazine department.

President Kitano was not impressed, and did not want to say anything more to her, so he continued to look around.

"President Kitano?"

Kuroki happened to hear the conversation between the two people, and when he saw each other like this, he knew that he was looking for him.

"You are?"

President Kitano was a little confused.

Xiao Ling was a little surprised, could it be that Kuroki City also knew President Kitano?

Think about it, you should be an insider, otherwise you wouldn't be so skilled at deceiving others.

"I was on the phone just now, I'm Kuroki."

Kuroki said.

As soon as he heard this, President Kitano was so excited that he took Kuroki Castle's outstretched hand with both hands and held it tightly.

"Hello, hello, Hello Kuroki-sensei."

He is even a little incoherent, like fans seeing idols.

"Let's find a place to talk." Kuroki said.

"Okay, okay."

Kuroki looked at Xiao Ling, who was stunned, and then waved to Honami over there.

"This?!"

Xiao Ling looked at the backs of the two people, Blackwood City was neither humble nor humble, and walked steadily.

On the contrary, President Kitano walked sideways, constantly talking to Kuroki Castle, which turned out to be flattering.

"Is it true?"

She looked at Honami, who was also surprised over there, and couldn't believe it.

Kuroki Castle and President Kitano come to a clear bar.

President Kitano's meaning is also very simple, he wants Kuroki Castle to agree to let them publish "The Tale of Genji".

The question of Blackwood City is very simple, how much money can the other party give.

"Our publishing house is not as well-known as some traditional publishing houses, but we can give you 15% stamp duty."

Upon hearing this, Kuroki knew that the other party was very sincere.

There are two main forms of writers' contributions.

How much is each piece of manuscript paper, and the number of words on a piece of manuscript paper is 400.

Generally, the author is 5,000 yen per piece of manuscript paper.

The average serialization of a fixed column in newspapers and magazines is four sheets of paper, and one author receives a column and earns 20,000 yen a day.

600,000 yen a month, which is the monthly rent and living expenses of Blackwood City.

This is still the most ordinary writer.

Akiho signed Kuroki Aki and published in the newspaper that she was a young writer who won the Akutagawa Prize, and she could get 20,000 yen per manuscript.

In addition to that, it is now called stamp duty.

A novel is priced at 2,000 yen, and the author gets 200 yen with a 10% stamp duty.

Stamp duty is divided into three, six and nine grades, and 15% is the highest standard.

The number of publications by well-known authors is between 100 and 2 million!

Blackwood City sighed, and said that there was a reason why District 11 had a strong cultural output.

However, all major cultural exporting countries pay attention to copyright awareness.

On the other hand......

"The number of our first issue of publishing will be 500,000!"

Seeing Kuroki City pondering, Kitano thought he was not satisfied, and hurriedly threw out another hole card.

Blackwood City didn't expect that desertion could have such a gain.

"President Kitano's condition is really impossible to refuse, but please forgive me for not being able to give you an answer now."

He plans to ask Mr. Eguchi when he goes back and get a feel for the foundation of this publishing house.

Kitano was a little disappointed, but didn't dare to show it.

After the bar came out, Kitano tried to ask, "Now that the weather is getting cooler, is Mr. Kuroki interested in going to the bubble bath?" ”

"Sss

Kuroki's eyes lit up, and although he now had a girlfriend, he hadn't started a happy life yet.

But he thought to himself, and the names of many infectious diseases floated in front of him.

"Please don't say that a second time, you are insulting the soul of an upright man."

Kuroki Castle refused.

"I'm sorry!!"

Kitano was half frightened to death, and quickly bent down to apologize.

As a result, as soon as the waist was bent, a wig fell to the ground, revealing the bare top of his head.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Kitano hurriedly picked up the wig.

……

The next day, Kuroki Castle waited for Honami on Asatsuki TV.

Unexpectedly, that Xiaoling was also there yesterday.

Honami apologized to him with her eyes, Xiaoling insisted on coming along, and he couldn't help it.

The purpose of Xiaoling's visit today is not to help Honami.

"Mr. Kuroki."

She was glad that she hadn't shown a bad side in front of Blackwood City yesterday, and now she greeted it with a smile on her face.

Deliberately wearing a pair of shorts, it is rare in this cool autumn, as a model, she is indeed tall.

Deliberately standing very close to Kuroki City, even if Kuroki City distanced himself, he didn't care.

The two girls followed Kuroki City into the TV station.

"Mr. Kuroki."

The young lady at the front desk greeted them warmly, and the doorman did not stop them, allowing Kuroki City to take them to the elevator room.

"Mr. Kuroki."

There were a few people from the production department in the elevator, and when they saw Blackwood City coming in, they were very knowledgeable and let go of the middle of the elevator.

Xiao Ling and Honami, who were following behind, stuck out their tongues.

Kuroki Castle has a higher status in the TV station than expected.

Xiao Ling secretly made up her mind that such an excellent man could not be missed.

She is very confident in herself.

But that confidence soon evaporated, as she saw a woman in high heels.

This woman's temperament was the best she had ever seen.

A perfect body and a beautiful face can be said to be a devil and an angel.

Standing with Kuroki City, she understands what it means to be a talented man and a woman.
