"That person's name is Ryota Kishida..." Hiroto Akihara briefly talked about the situation of the other party. After Fujioka Yasuki knew about it, he immediately expressed his understanding and arranged for him to come to audition.

The two briefly talked about the schedule and then hung up the phone.

Akihara Yuto took out the phone card, and then walked towards the direction of Ajiu Bookstore. After walking for more than 10 minutes, he arrived at the second floor of Ajiu Bookstore, and saw Akutsu Goichi who hadn't seen him for a long time.

The purpose of his visit today is to settle the payment for last year's book release.

"President Yasuku, I have troubled you recently." Akihara Yuto sat on the sofa in the office on the second floor, took the tea from Satake Maki, and said with a smile.

An Jiujin just waved his hand, "Where is it? If it weren't for Mr. Qiuyuan, our business might still be greatly troubled."

"To each other, I hope we can continue to cooperate well this year."

Hiroto Akihara said politely that now the cooperation between him and Anjiu Bookstore is on the right track, and continuing to cooperate is the best choice.

An Jiujin just said a few more polite words, and then issued a ledger.

"Mr. Qiuyuan, here are the net profit details of the booklets you issued between November and December last year. Please take a look at them."

Hiroto Akihara took the ledger and flipped through it.

During the two months of last year, due to the turmoil between him and Mandansha, his three works "Suspect X", "Death by Negligence", and "Death of a Reasoner" were big sellers, with a total of 2 sold book.

After deducting channel fees, advertising fees, plate-making and printing fees and commissions delivered to Anjiu Bookstore, the profit margin of this batch of books still exceeded 50%, and the amount reached 7.5 million yen.

But he looked at it and found that something was wrong. After the money arrived, there were only 4.8 million left.

He directly raised doubts, pointed to the figure of 2.7 million yen, and asked, "President Anjiu, what is going on with the 2.7 million yen?"

Ajiujin Goichi seemed to have already prepared, put down the teacup in his hand, and replied seriously: "Mr. Akihara, this amount is a tax paid to the government. Because the amount is huge, we hired a special accounting firm to audit it."

In his description, Akihara Hiroto became more understanding.

根据霓虹政府的现行规定，霓虹居民需要根据超额累进税率缴纳税款——“不越过330万日元的部分10；超过330万日元至900万日元的部分20；超过900万日元至1800万日元的部分30；超过1800万日元的部分37。”

It is for this reason that only 7.5 million yen remained from the 4.8 million yen.

After knowing this, Akihara Yuto remembered a rumor in his previous life - because Haruki Murakami was living abroad at that time, there has always been a folk saying that he was doing it to avoid taxes.

Although I don't know whether it is true or not, but if there is such a rumor, tax avoidance is very feasible.

To be honest, Hiroto Akihara would rather donate more than half of his money to poor areas in the country than give one third to the Neon government.

But these words are not good to say to An Jiujin just once, let Asano Aiko contact the relevant professionals in private later, and see if it can be done in this way.

Having said that, will these add to Asano Aiko's work burden?

Thinking of this, he suddenly had another thought and asked, "President An Jiu, can I make a request?"

An Jiujin was a little puzzled, but he still said: "Mr. Qiuyuan, please tell me. If it can be done, I will definitely do it."

"Well, since Ms. Asano's current workload is a bit heavy, I hope I can arrange an assistant for her."

Hiroto Akihara raised his head, glanced at Maki Satake, who was sitting at the desk next to him, and continued, "Ms. Asano said before that Ms. Satake's work ability is very good."

After a pause, he continued: "So I hope you can give up your love."

As soon as An Jiujin was surprised, he didn't expect Akihara Yuto to make this request, so he subconsciously looked at Satake Maki who was sitting next to him, but Satake Maki also raised his head at the same time with a surprised expression on his face.

After seeing Satake Maki's performance, An Jiujin Gangyi immediately realized that she didn't know.

Could it be that Mr. Akihara has other ideas about Satake?

An Jiujin had just pondered for two seconds before making a decision immediately.

For Anjiu Bookstore, Akihara Yuto is a big customer, while Satake Maki is just a small employee, it is clear at a glance which is more important.

He asked politely: "Satake, what do you think? If possible, I can arrange personnel to go through the formalities immediately."

Satake Maki just wanted to express his opinion, but he didn't expect that the president of his family decided to sell himself so quickly, and he couldn't speak for a while.

However, Akihara-sensei, what exactly does he mean, is he ready to respond to my request?

She glanced at Yuuto Akihara, and found that the other person's eyes were serious, so she concealed her shyness and said, "If Mr. Akihara needs help, I will do my best here."

Thinking of this, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart.

Akihara Hiroto didn't know what Satake Maki's little girl was thinking, so he just nodded.But he was still thinking about the tax in his heart, and when he thought of paying 2.7 million yen, he felt distressed!

No, even if most of this money is donated to the country, it is better than giving it to neon bureaucrats and corrupt officials for nothing!

[210.2 Chapter Nine Chapter Fund, audition, broadcasting]

Akihara Yuto made a decision, and immediately asked Asano Aiko and the new assistant Maki Satake to find the contact information of some financial institutions.

After multiple screenings, he chose an international accounting firm with asset management business, and made a door-to-door visit.

During the communication, a senior manager of the other party put forward a suggestion - to set up a private charity foundation company overseas, and bring all the copyrights and royalties of the books under the foundation's banner.

In addition, large-scale charitable activities are also required to donate 30% of the income to areas in need, so as to achieve the purpose of reasonable tax avoidance.

However, when formulating the donation plan, Akihara Hiroto donated most of the money to the country, and a small part was donated to various associations and institutions in Japan (children, women, disabled people), including the orphanage where the original body was born. .

Although the proportion is only a small part, as Akihara Hiroto's fame increases and his works gradually increase, the amount of this money is also very objective.

After receiving donations, these associations and the political groups behind the institutions are bound to support Hiroto Akihara more and bring him a good reputation in society.

……

While Hiroto Akihara and Asano were dealing with various procedures together, the crew of "Furuhata" on Fuji TV was busy with auditions, or auditions.

Audition usually refers to the way of shooting a film to decide whether someone is suitable to be an actor, or whether an actor is suitable to perform a certain role in a film.

In layman's terms, it is to see if these actors will have big faces when they are on camera.

Therefore, what happened in the crew should be called audition, that is, the actors are arranged to perform impromptu performances on the spot to decide whether to hire them.

In a brightly lit conference room, producer Fujioka Yasuki and director Wakayama Tomoki sat in the judging seat, and together with others began to audition the actors—Akihara Hiroto would have also Here, but he voluntarily gave up for the sake of avoiding suspicion.

"Next," a worker in a black uniform shouted, and then a middle-aged man in a gray coat walked in.

"Let's start the show." Wakayama Tomoki carefully pondered the image of this man for a while before speaking.

Hearing the request, the middle-aged man began to perform.

When he left after the performance, Tomoki Wakayama took a pen and wrote a few words in the notebook, recording his thoughts, while Yasuki Fujioka asked, "What do you think of this Shimamura-san?"

Wakayama Tomoki touched his forehead, and replied hesitantly: "The acting skills are very solid, and the image is also very stable, but I always feel that it is more suitable without Takeuchi Maki."

Hearing these words, Fujioka Yasuki also frowned and thought.
