Kitaoka Yuki took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Second, if I can find a guarantor, I can issue a corresponding legal certificate to convince that President Yasuhiro of your repayment ability; But if you have a guarantor, I suggest that you go directly to the bank for a loan of 600 million yen."

Hearing this suggestion, Akihara Hiroto thought for a while.As for the guarantors, the only ones who have a good relationship with him are Yuto Imamura, Tamae Seto, and Aiko Asano.

But Seto Yuji owed a lot of favors to her, so it would not be good to bother her again; Asano Aiko's words, she can't be contacted now, and this matter will make her worry; Imamura Yuto's words, but You can try it.

And if it's only 600 million yen, maybe you can borrow it directly from him.

He thought for a while, said "sorry" to Kitaoka Yuki, and then borrowed the office phone to call him.

The phone was connected quickly, and Hiroto Akihara spoke directly: "Imamura, I'm Akihara."

"Qiu Yuan, what's the matter?" A familiar voice quickly came from the microphone.

When Akihara Hiroto was about to entrust him as a guarantor, Imamura Yuto continued: "By the way, let me tell you something, I am getting married!"

Hearing this news, Hiroto Akihara was surprised. He remembered that Yuuto Imamura had always been a prodigal son in love, and he liked to go to nightclubs and other places the most. He didn't expect that he would get married quietly.

Just when he wanted to ask, Imamura Yuto continued: "Akihara, you also know my fiancée, she is Miyu-chan."

Akihara Yuto was stunned, and then remembered that this name seemed to be the female publicist she met at the club last time... I didn't expect the two of them to...

However, this seems to be normal in Neon. Kawamoto Akari in "The Lion in March" is a part-time female publicist. Because of her kindness, she is pursued by shogi players and high school teachers, and hopes to marry her.

However, compared with the fictional works, the female publicist in reality must be a bit like that... Akihara Yuto opened his mouth, but he still didn't say any words of persuasion.

Everyone is an adult, Imamura Yuuto has his own reasons for making this choice.

Akihara Hiroto thought for a while, and then said, "Imamura, congratulations!"

"Hey, it's not all happy things. Recently, I have prepared dowry money and changed houses. Miyu-chan also said that she wants a big wedding, which is really a headache!"

Hearing this, Hiroto Akihara fell silent. When Imamura himself had to spend a lot of money to prepare for the marriage, it would be a bit unreasonable for him to ask him to act as a guarantor.

It seems, or another way.

He sighed in his heart, then said a few words of congratulations to him, and promised to attend on the wedding day, before hanging up the phone.

On the other side, seeing him finish the phone call, Kitaoka Yuki put down a document he was looking at, and said with a smile, "Akihara-san, are you done?"

Hiroto Akihara shook his head, and then said politely: "Ms. Kitaoka, besides these two methods, is there any other method to act as a legal guarantee?"

Kitaoka Yuki was not surprised either, as a property lawyer, she had seen this kind of situation a lot.She nodded and continued.

"If there is no guarantor, I suggest providing a guarantee in the form of things, such as the "ZOO" series written by you Akihara-san. But there are some problems in it, and I need to clarify it with you first."

"please."

"According to what you said, because the contract stipulates that the copyright of "ZOO" belongs to Mantansha, so within three years Mantansha can only publish the relevant booklets. However, the valuation of this copyright after three years remains to be discussed. "

Hiroto Akihara nodded, thinking about it.

What the other party said makes sense, although according to the feedback from readers of "New Novel", the "ZOO" series has accumulated a lot of fans. In other words, more than half of the 10,000+ readers who bought "New Novel" are for this. series of works.

But when it is released three years later, it is also a question of how many readers will continue to recognize and buy it.

After all, there are endless works on the market, and readers' tastes will not remain the same.

Kitaoka Yuki took another sip of tea, and then continued to preach: "Also, the publishing house run by President Yasuhisa is not large. Simply put, the current economic downturn, such small and medium-sized publishing houses The operating environment is relatively harsh, and the interests that can be realized directly may be more valued than the situation after three years."

"So, Akihara-san, I think even if you use the copyright of that "ZOO" as collateral, there is a high probability that you will be rejected."

After listening to these words, Akihara Yuto weighed it, and found that what the other party said was indeed reasonable. For companies with average or even bad operating conditions, they paid more attention to the benefits that can be directly realized.

So, how do you convince the other party?

Akihara Hiroto raised his head, fixed his eyes on Kitaoka Yuki, and continued to ask: "Ms. Kitaoka, is there any other way to guarantee it?"

In Akihara Hiroto's disappointed eyes, Kitaoka Yuki shook his head and said, "Unless..."

"unless?"

"Unless Akihara-san has other works that can make the president Anjiu think they are valuable enough and are willing to accept credit."

After saying this, she paused for a moment, ready to wait for the disappointed expression on Yuuto Akihara's face.In her opinion, the client should understand her situation after talking about it.

But to her surprise, Akihara Hiroto did not show a depressed expression, but his eyes brightened instead.

Akihara Hiroto suddenly remembered something.

Isn't the work that I entrusted to President Anjiu for distribution to be of sufficient value and without any disputes over property rights?

All that remains is to convince the other party of the value of this work and accept my request!

[90.Chapter 90 Reasonable Crime]

After paying the consulting fees, Hiroto Akihara left the law firm and went to a large library in Chiyoda Ward instead.

After arriving at the library, Hiroto Akihara submitted a piece of paper that said "Anjiu Bookstore" to the staff in charge. After the latter entered the keywords into the computer's index system, he quickly printed out an index of the book list .

According to the directory of this book list, Akihara Hiroto went to find a related magazine in the publishing industry - there is a statistical table of the number of related books published in recent years.

Through this statistical table, he can get the number of publications published by Anjiu Bookstore in recent years, and use this to analyze the operating status of this publishing house.

This is essential in order to convince that President Yasuhisa.

After all, if the operating conditions of the other publishing house are very bad, then he can only give up his plan to use the copyright of "Suspect X's Devotion" as collateral to delay payment, and find other ways to publish this book.

However, the only way he can think of is to ask Mr. Seto for a loan, or hand over "The Devotion of Suspect X" to other major publishing houses, and publish it in the form of royalty cooperation.

But these conflicted with his current plan.

Hiroto Akihara found a table and sat down, took out a pen and paper, and began to write, thinking while writing.

From the perspective of publication types, it can be found that before the economic crisis, Anjiu Bookstore published books mainly for housewives and business people, including "Ceramic Production", "Red Wine Tasting", "How to Dress Exquisitely" , "Travel Etiquette for Business People", "Sincere Bow" and many other works.

However, most of these works sold only 2 to 3 copies, and only two books, "Red Wine Tasting" and "How to Dress Exquisitely", sold 10 copies.

This proves that the operating conditions of Anjiu Bookstore can only be regarded as mediocre: most of the books with a sales volume of less than 2 copies can only be guaranteed or made a small profit. Not a lot of profit.

However, the sales of these two books have also encountered a decline after the economic downturn. After all, everyone has no money in their trouser pockets, so naturally they will not spend extra money to buy books.

Therefore, in the past year, the works published by Anjiu Bookstore have become a large number of "XX Autobiography" and "Learning XX with XXX".These works are self-published at a glance, after all, sales are not even counted.

All in all, the other party can only be said to be the kind of small and medium-sized publishing house that barely survives.

Akihara Hiroto sighed, a little suspicious of his plan.

Forget it, or prepare the relevant legal documents.Then tell the president Anjiu of your request and let him decide by himself.
