Chapter fifty-six determination
"Have you reached this level?"
On the way to Hayami study, Nanami asked again, and her eyes looked at Shimizu Tetsuki with concern.
"yes."
Thinking back to the outline of the new book, Shimizu paused before continuing to speak.
"Just Kishida Sang said, since he has taken action, Kotanshe will never let it go. The only way is to publish a book that can be sold as soon as possible, and prove to the writers that Hayami Study still has the ability to publish and can make the books sell well. In this way, Hayami Study can barely get through it."
"How can it be considered a big seller?"
"You have to sell 100,000 copies. It will only cause some topics to be discussed at this level. Some people have also discussed it online and on TV. Maybe there will be film and television adaptations or something."
"Hundreds of thousands of books..."
Nanami was covering her mouth and exclaimed a little.
Kimizu Choi smiled and took advantage of the distraction to catch her hand. Looking at the instant blush on her face, her tone became relaxed.
"It's really difficult, right?"
“…Ah, that’s not what I mean.”
"It's nothing. Actually, I understand that the literary market has shrunk to the present, and many veteran writers may not even be able to sell 10,000 books. Writers whose sales are stable at tens of thousands of books are already at the top level. Going up... As a newcomer, I am indeed a bit whimsical..."
"and you…"
"Although it's good to just switch to other publishing houses like this, Kishida Sang and the others won't have any objections... But, I'd better want to do something..."
After a few seconds of silence, Shimizu Chok suddenly laughed and met her puzzled eyes.
"In this way, even if you fail in the end, you will feel more at ease when you switch to another publishing house... After all, it's just for yourself."
Is it really just for yourself?
Seeing Nanami disagreed, he just nodded slightly and said, "Anyway, I have always believed in you."
"Thank you," Kiyoshi Shimizu smiled calmly, noticing that Hayami Study was right in front of him, "Then go up."
"good."
Stepping up the stairs next to the building, you can still hear the phone ringing rings one after another through the office door. Without stopping on the second floor, Shimizu Tetsu took Nanami Nanami straight to the warehouse on the third floor.
Pushing open the door, Kishida Masaaki was already waiting there.
He was a little tired than when he met last time, and his eyes were even red and swollen. Seeing Shimizuki, he quickly came up with a movement that was inconsistent with his appearance.
"Qimizu, ah, Miss Qishi."
"Kishida Sang". Nanami bowed slightly and quietly pulled out the hand she was being held.
After saying hello, Kishida Masaaki couldn't wait to turn to Shimizu Toru: "Have you decided?"
"Anyway, I have to try it?"
"Why do you have to go to this muddy water? If you don't want to go to Huandong Club, I can also contact you with other publishing houses."
Shimizu Tetsu still looked relaxed.
"Kisha Sang, I never said I could write a big-selling work, I just try it."
"Don't talk about these with me. I know the outline, I have read the first chapter, I know more about the effort you put into this book than you. I definitely have great potential and hope to win awards. How can I use it to fill our hole?"
"Is Kishida Sangyan serious?"
"Yan Chong? You will regret it if you can't sell it at that time!"
"Then you have to wait until you write it out."
Speaking of this level, Kishida was helpless and sighed: "If you want to write, write it. In the end, I will always find a publishing house to publish it for you."
"Then thank you Kishidasan."
"If you don't cause me trouble, I should thank you," sighed again, Kishida pointed to a corner surrounded by bookshelf, "The printer and table you want are ready, you can bring the computer yourself?"
"Take it." Shimizu Tetsu patted his backpack.
"There are folding beds and microwaves next to you. I heard about this for you. What else do you need besides this?"
“That’s enough.”
"Okay, then I'll go down first, let's talk about what you want."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shimizu Tetsu nodded Kishida again.
"Kishada Sang, I want to confirm that this trick of publishing a book can really make Hayami study room pass by?"
"I have considered this too," Kishida stopped, "it should be possible, mainly because Kotanshe broke the rules this time."
Shimizuchi nodded slowly.
He also knew about the "rules" that Kishida mentioned before. The publisher handed over books to intermediaries, and the intermediaries provided books to bookstores across the country. This rule has been successfully operated for decades. It is precisely through this set of rules that the publishing industry has developed to this day.
However, the most direct consequence of Kotanshe using intermediaries to attack Hayami Study Room this time is to destroy the trust relationship between intermediaries and publishers for decades. Even if large publishers can remain indifferent, the large number of small publishers will always feel sad.
Kishida continued to explain there.
"After the accident, the president asked someone to inquire. In order to appease other publishing houses, Kotanshe took action this time under the name of liquidating the remnants of the family.
"Remnant?" Shimizu Tsuki was only confused.
"You don't know yet. This internal purge of Kotanshe has gone crazy. As long as you have something to do with the family faction, you will be demoted and transferred. Hayami President Hayami has always had a good relationship with the people of Kotanshe family faction. You have also taken the family faction's path when you went to internship. In addition, I, a person who resigned from Kotanshe..."
Shimizu Tetsuki added: "Then there is someone who takes revenge on his own."
"That's right."
"Does the new president of Kotanshe know about this?"
Kishida touched his beard that had not been shaved for a long time and shook his head slowly: "It shouldn't be known. However, everyone knows his disgust towards the family faction, which leaves room for the people below to figure out and play. I think the director of the Shanaka, who took advantage of this banner and his "father" in the influence of the board of directors, managed to deal with the middlemen and printing factories, and at the same time revealed the news."
"In other words, this time it is actually what the person in the mountains means?"
"There may be the tacit consent of the above, but a director can only do this at most. If we can survive, Kotanshe will either break up and become enemies of the entire publishing industry, or they will have to admit it."
"I understand," Shimizu Tsuki nodded, "Since Kotanshe's methods have been used up, we have to see what Zaijian Study has to deal with it next."
"That's right."
"Since that's the case," Kishimizu Tsuki smiled, "Kishada, don't let Hayami study go bankrupt so soon."
"You kid, how could you last until you finished writing that day."
Kishida smiled and cursed, then curled his smile and patted his shoulder: "Write it well, I'll go down first."
When he left, Shimizu Tsuki sighed and turned to Nanami Nami next to him.
"Then let's start."
