$199, A Sexy Pen Name (Please Order the Full Version)

"With your guarantee, Brother Meihe, we can rest assured."

Liu Mingda breathed a sigh of relief and said.

He still trusts Bai Gui, and as long as the marriage is not too bad, he can accept it. Before coming, he was still worried about whether Bai Gui would agree, because Bai Gui's status now is completely different from before he stayed in Japan...

I never thought that Bai Gui would agree so happily.

Sure enough, he was right!

Brother Meihe is still the same brother Meihe as before.

The sukiyaki is paired with sake, and it bottoms out quickly.

"Before Brother Meihe leaves, there must be a lot of family matters, so it will be inconvenient for the two of us to disturb him..."

After almost eating, the two said goodbye.

Walk out the door.

The cool evening breeze blew against my face, and the barking of dogs became lower and lower.

Bai Gui had sobered up a bit after drinking. He looked at the backs of Liu Mingda and Wu Huaixian as they walked away. Mixed with the night, they could not see clearly. They fell into the corner of the alley and could no longer be seen.

The next day, early in the morning.

Another person came to visit, President Jiang Cao of Youfei Pavilion.

"Youfei Pavilion took advantage of Lord Bai's departure to disturb you rashly. Please don't blame Lord Bai..."

"The masterpiece "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" written by Mr. Bai has been widely circulated among the liberal arts professors at Tokyo University, so I came here specially to sign a contract with Mr. Bai and finalize the book "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword". The copyright of…”

After President Jiangcao politely apologized, he got straight to the point.

Although Asahisha is better than Yuhikaku in terms of scale and ability to attract money, Yuhikaku is an academic publishing house and has extensive connections with prestigious universities such as Tokyo University, so Yuhikaku can often grasp the latest news. , rushed to Bai's private residence first and requested to sign the copyright issue of Chrysanthemum and Knife...

Otherwise, if Asahisha knew that Bai Gui had written the book The Chrysanthemum and the Sword, they would not let Bai Gui leave easily.

"This is the graduation thesis that Mitsuko Yamada and I wrote together..."

"President Jiangcao only came to see me, it would be inappropriate."

Bai Gui took a sip of tea and smiled.

"Mr. Bai is joking, Miss Guangzi's strength... I still know something about it. This work must have been written by you personally, Mr. Bai, and Miss Guangzi and you have a close relationship. If Mr. Bai agrees, Miss Mitsuko will definitely agree..."

President Jiangcao replied.

The Chrysanthemum and the Knife is a masterpiece that mixes history and anthropology. It is basically the same as Guns and Guns, except that it focuses more on the study of Japanese culture. In his eyes, or in the eyes of most people, it is reasonable that Bai Gui, who wrote the book Guns and Guns, went on to write the masterpiece Chrysanthemum and the Sword.

Although Mitsuko Yamada also graduated from a prestigious school, he is just a newcomer in the industry and has not had any major hits before. Obviously, this time he took advantage of Bai Gui and became the second editor-in-chief.

"President Jiang Cao was joking..."

"This is the graduation thesis of Mitsuko Yamada and I. I only mentioned a few things about Mitsuko, but most of it was done by Mitsuko himself."

Bai Gui replied calmly.

He could also guess why President Egusa came to him in the first place instead of Mitsuko Yamada. The reason is simple. He has dealt with Youfei Pavilion. He is an old man in the industry and is easy to talk to.

Even though Mitsuko Yamada is a newcomer, her background is there. President Jiang Cao will inevitably take action, but whether he can control the price is secondary. Mainly because businessmen are naturally inferior to officials...

Negotiate a contract with Bai Gui and decide on whatever price you should pay.

But it is more difficult to deal with Mitsuko Yamada, a newcomer and powerful person who is new to the publishing industry.

"Yes, yes! Bai Jun is right, look at my memory..."

"Talk nonsense."

President Jiang Cao quickly denied it.

This is a graduation thesis!

If he said that Yamada Mitsuko's graduation thesis was written by Bai Gui, it would involve falsification of the paper, and the consequences would be unimaginable. So even if you know that this is most likely written by Bai Gui himself, you still have to understand the rules. Some of the pages were written by Yamada Mitsuko himself. At most, he received some guidance from Bai Gui.

Although everyone knows what is going on, if you tell them, it will have an impact on the name of the Yamada family...

And this is exactly Bai Gui's purpose.

There are dangers in writing about The Chrysanthemum and the Sword, but if some space is entrusted to the name of Mitsuko Yamada, everything will be easily solved.

Sometimes, the "danger" of a work depends on who wrote it!

"I am about to leave Japan. I will temporarily entrust the copyright of Chrysanthemum and Sword to Miss Mitsuko. If President Jiangcao wants to sign a contract, he can ask Miss Mitsuko..."

"Well, President Jiangcao, don't worry. I will finalize some contract issues with you first. After finalizing, I will write to Miss Mitsuko..."

Bai Gui said.

When acting, you have to do the whole thing.

Now that he has signed a contract to write down his name, even though Mitsuko Yamada will not object, if someone uses this book to make trouble in the future, he will inevitably get into some trouble.

If you want to avoid trouble, it's very simple, wear a vest!

For example, if you change your pen name, Brother Xun has 156 known pen names alone. According to statistics, Master Hongyi Li Shutong has 106 pen names. This kind of thing is just limited to changing pen names. Some Writers are more playful, and their pen names are directly "An Neng can tell whether I am male or female." For example, Mr. Mao Dun once used the pen names of "Sizhen" and "Dong Fen", and Mr. Liu Bannong used the pen name of "Ms. Fan Nudong"...

However, compared to changing his pen name, Bai Gui played a more advanced role. He directly played the trick of swindling the company...

"Since Mr. Bai said so, I will go to visit Miss Guangzi."

President Jiang Cao nodded.

If it was an ordinary writer, he would have given enough face by coming here in person to discuss the contract. He would have been displeased with such evasion. But famous writers always make people more patient. Besides, Bai Gui will write to Mitsuko Yamada next, so it's just one more trip, so he won't be too angry...

The two began to finalize the contract.

"Well..., Yuhikaku is very sincere, I also saw it, I will write to Miss Guangzi later."

"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation..."

Bai Gui took a few glances at the contract drafted by Yuhikaku. The first issue was given 20% of the royalties, and the print run was not small, 3,000 copies, the same as the first issue of Guns and Cannons last time. In addition, the maximum concession was made in the resources of some publishing houses.

He estimated that this was because Yuhikaku was concerned about Mitsuko Yamada, so he increased the bargaining chips.

Generally, when a powerful family publishes a book, no matter what the quality is, the corresponding publishing house will support it. However, The Chrysanthemum and the Sword has already been praised by the Tokyo University Department of Literature. It is a mutually beneficial thing without any cost, and Yuhikaku still knows how to do it.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai."

President Jiangcao smiled.

The book The Chrysanthemum and the Sword can not only make money for Yuhikaku and increase his fame, but also serve as an opportunity for him to make friends with the Yamada family. Such a good thing is not too much trouble.
