Chapter 45
Looking at Muneki Yamada who bowed to him at ninety degrees, Akino Saienji quickly helped him up.

"That's my plan, so you don't have to... But if we want to talk about things, let's change places?"

From just now, the eyes of the surrounding guests and maids have been focusing on them, and it's hard not to be embarrassed.

"What you said is that it should not be too late, let's go directly to the company's headquarters!"

"I'm going too. What I wanted last time was the book, did you get it for me? It must be the one with the author's signature?" Fukuzawa Makoto patted his knee and said.

"Teacher Fuze, don't worry, I can forget anyone's request, but you alone, I will never forget!"

Fukuzawa Makoto nodded proudly, "That's right, if I find good seedlings in the future, I will tell you, but you must not treat them badly, especially the one around me."

"He is a direct descendant of my club, so we must give him the best price and treatment, you know?"

"No problem! I must do what you say!" Yamada Muneki, as a middle-aged man who has been in and out of society for more than ten years and struggled for so long, bowed his knees in front of Fukuzawa Makoto, wishing to kneel down and express flattery .

This is the first time Xiyuanji Akino has seen such an editor and author situation...

Moreover, it seems that these two people are still very used to it, and this weirdness is even more amplified.

Makoto Fukuzawa noticed the look in Akino's eyes in Xiyuanji, she paused, and after leaving the maid shop, she said, "Yamada, I want to eat some salt ice cream, you can buy it for me."

After being summoned, Yamada Muneki replied happily: "No problem! Please wait a moment, I'll be right back. By the way, Mr. Xiyuanji, what do you need?"

Xiyuanji Akino shook his head with a smile.

After Yamada Muneki walked away, Makoto Fukuzawa looked up at Akino of Saiyuanji, and asked, "Do you think I've gone too far? It's not polite to dictate to my partner?"

Akino of Saiyuanji was stunned.

"Actually, I don't want to do this either, but I have to do this to make them realize that this is a transaction that cannot be mixed with any emotions."

"If emotions are mixed, and you give more and he gives less, then this partnership will gradually be distorted, and finally it will become irrelevant."

"At that time, as an author, you will have less and less right to speak, so that in the end you become a writer who is enslaved by the publishing house, rather than an author who can create freely."

"Maybe it's a little hard to understand? But I have encountered this situation with several author friends before. They became friends with the editors, and they are usually very gentle. The quality of the work itself is lowered, and a compromise is made for speed."

"The result is that their works are not selling well enough, not only are they discarded by the publishing house, but they are also sued in turn."

"Being prosecuted instead?" Xiyuanji Akino frowned.

Fukuzawa Makoto smiled, "That's right, because of the loss of profits, I want to make up for it, and then I will naturally choose to bully those kind people."

"Mr. Xiyuanji, although I really don't want to give you... the changes you have made so far, but... in my personal opinion, you'd better have a good temper."

"So, why I treat him with that attitude is because I have to draw a clear line. I can meet his needs in terms of commercial value, so no matter how much he pays for it, he will obviously feel it is worth it. Running errands, Laughing a few more times is as simple as eating and drinking for a person like him who has been tempered by society for a long time."

"Only if the contribution is proportional to the return, each takes what he needs, and the business cooperation without emotion can last long." Fukuzawa Makoto said this, and suddenly sighed.

"Suddenly feel a little guilty... It seems that I shouldn't say this to you, it always feels like I'm going to pollute you..."

Xiyuanji Akino heard the words and said with a smile: "It won't pollute me. Fukuzawa-san, what you said is very reasonable. I will pay more attention to this aspect in the future."

"However, I don't think all these things may be as indifferent as you said. It still depends on the specific people and things."

Makoto Fukuzawa looked into Akino's clear eyes in Xiyuan Temple, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am thinking too much, after all, you are an idiot, or in other words, the wish you want to realize is far more exaggerated than I thought, no Be realistic."

"But...I won't laugh at you, please come on."

"Thank you."

-

After taking a taxi with a high starting price, after a 10-minute drive, the three arrived at the office building of Asahi Publishing House.

The reception hall on the first floor is very spacious and comfortable, the decoration style tends to be European style, and there are floor-to-ceiling windows in all directions, and the lighting and ventilation are also very good.

After Yamada Muneki invited Akino Saienji and Makoto Fukuzawa to the VIP reception room on the first floor, he hurried upstairs and started looking for someone to prepare the contract.

Not long after Fukuzawa Makoto and Xiyuanji Akino sat down, a beautiful young lady brought them tea, biscuits and snacks. In short, the service was very good.

Xiyuanji Akino was a little restrained at first, but people have a strong ability to adapt, and he quickly accepted all this, and told himself in his heart.

In the future, with your own growth and development, you will only encounter more and more similar scenes, you have to get used to it, and you have to pay more attention to your own decency.

Tokyo handsome guys can't show timidity in any situation, they must remain indifferent, calm and confident.

Fukuzawa Makoto was eating biscuits while looking at the books sent by the young lady, as before, as before.

Ten minutes later, Muneki Yamada came down with a contract and a lawyer, and began to explain in detail to Akino Saienji the form of cooperation in the next submission, as well as the share of the manuscript fee, and the optional buyout price.

"If you want to buy out, then we can offer a price of 2000 million yen. We believe that your work can become a big hit."

Xiyuanji Akino heard these numbers without much hesitation, "Let's share it."

Yamada Muneki nodded, and put the contract in front of Akino of Xiyuanji, "You can take a look at it now, and if there is anything in it that you feel is unclear or vague, you can raise it on the spot. The Matsuura lawyer next to me I'll explain it all to you."

"If you think the price is unreasonable, we can also conduct a second negotiation. Of course, if you feel that you can't make a decision for a while, we fully support you to think slowly, but we assure you that we, Asahi Publishing, will come up with the best sincerity, and always look forward to cooperating with you.”

After listening to it with a smile, Xiyuanji Akino began to read the contract seriously, during which he did ask the lawyer several questions.

The other party was also quite patient, especially the editor-in-chief Muneki Yamada, who sat upright all the time, as long as Akino Saienji looked at him, he would immediately respond with a smile, and his attitude was sincere, which was very good.

After three hours.

Saiyuanji Akino decided to sign the contract.

He has his own bank card, so as long as he signs the contract, he can immediately get an advance fee of 500 million yen.

After checking all the information, he signed his name, and after signing, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Muneki Yamada.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Happy cooperation!" Yamada Muneki also happily replied.

This handshake etiquette was something he had never encountered before, but during the handshake process, he could feel the respect that this young boy had for him.

It's not that Fukuzawa Makoto is as arrogant and individualistic, let alone young and frivolous, but calm and calm, neither humble nor overbearing.

Yamada Muneki had a hunch that this might be his happiest cooperation ever.

After shaking hands with Soki Yamada, Akino Saigenji also politely expressed his gratitude to the lawyer who answered his questions just now.

The overall negotiation atmosphere is very friendly and harmonious.

Fukuzawa Makoto, who watched this scene, was thoughtful.

Although she didn't think what she just said was wrong, but seeing Xiyuanji Akino's behavior in the world, she still had a very... dreamlike feeling.

He seems to have a special magical power, which can make people around him be influenced by his charm, and finally it will be like this, everyone can smile.

Fukuzawa Makoto pouted.

Always feel like I'm losing.
