Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Betting!

Ignoring Furukawa Shinsuna who was eating candy, Nanahara Yuu returned his attention to the conference room.

Just then, the president slammed the table and said with a cold face:

"Let's not talk about the number of seats on the board of directors, why do we have to reduce the number of Akita Shoin's publication number next year?"

Nanahara Yuu was stunned. He glanced at the heads of other publishing houses. Many of them were either laughing or mocking.

Obviously, this was deliberately targeting Akita Shoin.

Was it because of himself?

Through the answer he got from Shijo Tei just now, he couldn't help but think of this reason.

The next moment——

Everyone looked at Kadokawa Masanobu, the head of Kadokawa Publishing in front of them.

Kadokawa Masanobu, the person in charge of the board of directors, stood up, looked in the direction of the president, and said calmly: "Akita, I admit that the development of your Akita Academy in the first half of this year is very good."

"But don't forget, it's only half a year."

"Look at the several board members present, whose development has not been stable for several years."

"In fact, I am very optimistic about your publishing house."

"But your publishing house is still too young, and it still needs practice. Young people must learn to endure more hardships."

Nanara Yu: "..."

Fuck, young people must endure more hardships, can such nonsense come from people's mouths?

Kadokawa Masanobu's mouth corners slightly raised, and continued:

"As for the reduction of the number of editions."

"This is the arrangement of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and our association can't do anything about it."

"Of course, if you have objections to the distribution, you can bet with our Kadokawa according to the association's regulations, and we don't have any objections."

Betting?

He heard a word that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

Nanahara Yu frowned, looked at Furukawa Shin and asked: "Sister Suna, what does betting mean?"

Furukawa Shin Suna held fructose in her mouth and explained to Nanahara Yu: "This is a catfish treaty set up at the beginning of the establishment of the Publishing Association. It is basically a bet condition set up by both parties of the association. The winning party can take all, and the formal bet agreement between publishers must be recognized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and have legal effect."

Nanahara Yu narrowed her eyes.

An officially certified resource gamble, the Publishing Association actually has this kind of game.

If they refuse, Akita Shoin will suffer a great loss.

But agreeing.

It also forces Akita Shoin into a dead end.

No wonder the president has been pursuing a seat on the board of directors, otherwise he can only be a toy in the hands of others.

Nanahara Yu already has an idea in his mind.

Kadokawa Masanobu looked at Akita and said calmly, "If we bet, we can promise Kadokawa Publishing 20% ​​of its current resources, including the edition number and comic adaptation, and a candidate position on the board of directors."

"Of course, we have only one condition, that is, the copyright of the work signed by Kanhara Yushin and Akita Shoin. What do you think?"

The president's face suddenly darkened when he heard this.

This dog thing finally showed his fangs. I didn't expect the target to be Nanahara.

If you don't agree to the bet.

Akita Shoin is basically a slow death.

The conditions given by Kadokawa are very good, but the size of Akita Shoin is several times smaller than that of Kadokawa Publishing.

Chijumura Masaru will also publish a book in the near future.

And it is the sequel to "Fantasy Demon Sword Legend", which has been adapted into anime several times, and its popularity cannot be underestimated.

What's more, Kadokawa has other famous light novelists of the same period.

In this case, Akita Shoin is isolated and helpless with only Nanahara. How can it win?

Kadokawa just wants to do things to the extreme.

The president stared at Kadokawa Masanobu, but Kadokawa Masanobu said indifferently: "You can also refuse to agree. What our association emphasizes is fairness and justice."

This made the Akita president's face turn pale.

What a fair and just one.

He turned around and glanced at Nanahara Yuu. After all, he was the pillar-level light novelist of Akita Shoin and one of the largest shareholders of Akita Shoin.

It was reasonable for the president to ask for his opinion.

At this time.

Nanahara Yuu looked at the president and smiled: "We can agree!"

Agree?

The eyes of everyone in the venue also fell on Nanahara Yuu, and they were a little stunned.

This pure straight hook, how can it still bite upwards!

Nanahara Yuu looked at Kadokawa Masanobu and said coldly: "But I also have a condition!"

"What condition."

"Since you want Kanhara Yuxin, we also want the copyright of the works signed by Senjumura Zheng and Kadokawa!"

There was an uproar in the venue.

Senjumura Zheng also looked at the boy, a little surprised.

But she didn't care.

She doesn't care what publisher prints and publishes the work.

Kadokawa Masanobu paused as he was about to drink water. He looked up at Nanahara Yu and said with a smile:

"Boy, do you know what you are talking about?"

"If Akita Shoin loses, it will have to hold shares with our subsidiary. If you can agree, I can agree to it."

When the news came out, everyone's scalp numbed.

This is definitely the biggest gamble since the establishment of the Publishing Association.

There are restrictions on the gambling rules.

Not all conditions can be reviewed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Direct share transfers, capital transfers and many other conditions that directly affect the company structure cannot be reviewed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

So holding shares is already the upper limit.

But it is already terrifying!

At this point, it is obvious that failure has become a very unacceptable outcome for both parties.

They all looked at the young man.

The direction of the situation now depends on him.

Nanahara Yuu took a look and continued to nod: "Okay!"

Very decisive, without hesitation.

Everyone in the field looked at Nanahara Yuu in astonishment and disbelief.

But who else is there in Akita Academy besides Kanhara Yushin... They are all rotten fish and shrimps.

How can Akita Academy win this! ?

Kadokawa Masanobu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Although Nanahara Yuu's calm expression made him feel a little uneasy behind his back.

But it disappeared in just a moment.

Because no matter how you look at it, Akita Academy has no chance of winning against Kadokawa!

Not even other people.

Even if Nanahara Yuu can compete with Senjumura Masayuki.

Then how should Akita Academy deal with other light novelists of Kadokawa?

They can lose by riding a dragon on the face?

He smiled confidently, "Okay, since both parties have agreed, I will draw up an agreement soon. Then I will trouble President Akita to help us with the Ministry of Education."

...

Everyone looked at the people in Akita Academy. Although they were smiling, they were a little regretful and sighing.

Because of this bet, Akita Academy can't win at all.

That's where Kadokawa's size is.

Whether it's the reserve of authors or the production capacity of the publishing house.

The two sides are completely unequal.

How can Akita Academy play this?

They even dared to agree to the condition of holding shares in each other.

It is very likely that after this bet, Akita Academy will become the shape of Kadokawa.

...

After the meeting.

The president's face was serious and heavy.

Nanahara Yuya folded his arms with a blank expression, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Only Furukawa Shinsuna, who was under the least pressure, ate fructose heartlessly.

At this time--

"Nanahara." A girl's voice attracted their attention.

They all turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

Where.

Senjumura stared at Nanahara Yuu with a very serious look.

Her facial features were originally very regular, and she looked full of special courage.

Senjumura said coldly: "I can breach the contract and cancel the publication, as long as you use up the opportunity of our last bet."

"Don't worry, I will bear the breach of contract fee myself."

"This way, your publishing house can win in the bet."

"......"
