The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 142 Mitsuko Yamada
What's it like to have a rich female reader?
What is it like to have a rich and powerful female reader?
How does it feel to have a rich and powerful female reader who still likes your novels?
Bai Gui felt it now.

"You mean, you asked your father to recommend this book to those professors?"

He sucked in a breath of cold air.

He is also well-connected in Tokyo Metropolis, and has a lot of contacts, but it is still impossible to know so many colleges and university professors and ask them to recommend a novel...

The students who bought novels just now, he can also know some school badges, at least a dozen schools, which means that at least a dozen professors have been hired, and maybe even more.

The network is too broad, right? !
"Yes."

Mitsuko Yamada nodded.

"Thank you so much, what is your name?"

Bai Gui raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was a little short, which was related to her age.She looks pure and lovely, wearing a kimono with wide sleeves and slanted breasts, although the raised head is slightly out of character with her attire.

But at this moment, the somewhat delicate and lovely slightly rounded chin was exposed.

It's a little baby fat.

"Photon?"

"Mitsuko Yamada?"

"how do you know?"

"I have a photographic memory, and the names of every reader who replied are clearly recorded in my head."

Bai Gui helped Mitsuko Yamada sign three books, pointed to his head and said.

Photon is also a popular name, and so is Yamada, who is the No.11 surname in Japan.However, the only person he wrote back recently was Mitsuko Yamada, so it's not difficult to remember.In addition, Photon's accent is also a Kyoto dialect, which is somewhat different from Tokyo's Kanto dialect, which can be heard by listening carefully.

Kyoto is in Kansai.

Not to mention his abnormal memory now.

"That's right."

Mitsuko Yamada was a little disappointed.

She was still ready to say her name, but she never thought that she would be guessed.

"Why did you come to Tokyo?"

"Isn't your home in Kyoto?"

Bai Gui was a little surprised.

Mitsuko Yamada: "..."

"Mr. Bai!"

"You wrote back asking me to buy a copy of your novel, but the novel is not sold in Kyoto, so I can only take the train to Tokyo. You wrote me back!"

She gritted her teeth, said every word, quite angrily.

Mitsuko Yamada thought that Bai Gui was writing her a serious reply, which seemed to be a plea, and this was the first time she had received such a reply from a writer.Thinking that Tokyo is not too far away, you can get there in one day, so I deliberately came here on Saturday (Saturday), but unexpectedly, he remembered the name, but he forgot all the credible content.

"This……"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Bai Gui's face, he replied to every reader in the same way, at most he added a sentence or two to Mitsuko Yamada's reply.

Be sure to buy, some people really take it seriously!
It's his no.

"I'll treat you to dinner."

"Thank you."

Bai Gui's embarrassment disappeared in a flash, he closed the pen cap, then got up and pushed away the signing table, and said, "You came from Kyoto Women's High School and did me such a big favor. I need to thank you very much."

Although Tokyo is not far from Kyoto, it is not close either.It's been a long time, so I have to thank you.

Anyway, the [-] books at the signing event have already been sold out, so it's over.

Probably no one will come here again.

For some specific things, it is easy to ask them later during the meal.

Mitsuko Yamada glared at Bai Gui, nodded his head in agreement.

"Nakajima, come with me too."

Bai Gui said to Nobuo Nakajima who was waiting on the side.

Nobuo Nakajima helped him a lot this time. Although he is the editor-in-chief, this is something outside of his duties and needs to be thanked.As for Liu Mingda and other classmates, don't worry, they are already familiar with them, and I will thank them separately when I return to the first high school.

"I still don't need it..."

Nobuo Nakajima hesitated and refused.

"go together!"

Bai Gui took a deep breath and looked at Nobuo Nakajima.

He has never encountered such a thing as a female reader suddenly coming to the door and doing a big favor. It is inevitable that it will be a little embarrassing. Let Nobuo Nakajima go with him, and the embarrassment and pressure he will suffer will be less...

"OK then."

Nobuo Nakajima could only nod.Bai Gui treated him well, and he didn't have much work in the newspaper office, and he helped proofread Bai Gui's novel manuscripts.

Not far away, Yoshida restaurant.

I ordered some food at random, which is considered to be relatively expensive in restaurants.

It's too late to go to a better restaurant at this time, and Bai Gui's stomach is a bit empty after a day of autograph signing.This restaurant looks good, and it's not a disgrace.

The staple food is tonkatsu rice, and there are several small snacks.

During the dinner, we chatted a few words.

Bai Gui didn't ask in depth what is the background of Mitsuko Yamada. After getting along with him for a long time, he will definitely know after getting acquainted. There is no need to be so anxious. It seems that he has other plans.

After dinner, Nobuo Nakajima bid farewell and went home.

Out of the restaurant.

"Your family is in Kyoto. Do you have relatives in Tokyo? If not... I can recommend some good hotels."

Bai Gui thought for a while and said.

Although Mitsuko Yamada has a background and connections that he doesn't know, it's obvious that he sneaked out.

"No, my family also has a private house in Tokyo."

"It's just that I don't come here often."

Yamada Mitsuko said.

The two are separate.

……

The next day, with the help of Mitsuko Yamada, the professors of literature and history at various schools recommended buying the Daqin Empire. In addition to the excellent quality, the followers bought more and more, sold out in Tokyo, and the surrounding counties were also on the verge of being sold out.

"Asahisha intends to print another [-] copies of the second issue and distribute it to prosperous places such as Kyoto and Osaka."

"The royalties are set at 15.00%..."

In the afternoon, members of the Asahi Club met Bai Gui and said.

Asahisha is one of the three major newspapers in Japan, with rich sources of information.It was also the reason why the sales of the Great Qin Empire were so hot early in the morning.However, this is not the same as brushing sales. Many colleges and university professors unanimously recommended it, thus achieving a sharp increase in sales... Not only did the staff not think this was a bad thing, but it was a good thing. The second issue has a bright future.

To put it simply, these professors have the right to speak in the cultural world. They believe that good works and good quality will become best-selling books, which is equivalent to official endorsement.

"15.00%, I can accept it."

Bai Gui nodded.

The reason why the copyright tax of the first publication is important is that the copyright tax of the re-publication cannot be lower than that of the first publication according to the usual practice.So Asahisha gave him a [-]% increase for the first time, and the favor they sold was not the [-] yen for the [-]% increase in the first issue, but the thousands of yen for the reissue.

Of course, this requires him to have the strength to republish, otherwise it will stop here.

An Asahisha member handed over an envelope.

"This is 5000 yen. Please ask Bai Jun to order a little more. The extra is Bai Jun's salary as a social commentator, so a whole number has been rounded up in the agency."

he laughed.

"5000 yen?"

Bai Gui couldn't help but gasped, a little shocked by the generosity.

Although he had known for a long time that there would be a lot of money after the second and third issues, it was one thing to know it, but another thing to really see it.

At the same time, he thought to himself, no wonder writers such as Mori Ogai, Natsume Soseki, Tanabe Ryuko, etc. are a bit "speechless". In fact, once they become famous writers, they can really eat as much as they want.

　Mitsuko Yamada's father is the Minister of Education in Jing Wu Heroes, but there is no Ministry of Education in Japan, it should be a translation error, the highest educational institution is the Ministry of Education.
