I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

He found the section with the person in charge's phone number, opened it, and dialed the number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Eguchi who is in charge of the festival?" Saito Hiko confirmed the other party's identity after answering the phone.

"Whose child are you? Why are you the one making the call? Where are your parents?"

After Jiangkou received the call, he heard that it was a call from a child and did not take it seriously. As he said, he put his hand next to the phone and waited. If Saito Hiko did not give the answer he wanted, he planned to end the call.

Saito Hiko didn't get the message from the other party's tone that he wanted to end the call.

So he immediately said to Arakawa: "It's like this... My company launched an idol group called B Komachi..."

However, before he could finish, the other party interrupted him and said directly: "Don't make random phone calls, kid. Besides, I already have arrangements for the band, and I don't need your company's idol."

"If you let my company's idol perform on stage, not only will you not have to pay the performance fee, I will pay you out of my own pocket as your remuneration..." Saito Hiko felt that he was about to hang up the phone, so he quickly brought out his trump card.

"You're just a kid, how can you give me money?" The person in charge on the other end of the phone was tempted, but the child's voice in his ears made him feel that this was unreliable.

Chapter 101 He Really Gave Too Much...

"You are just a kid, how can you be the boss of a company? Stop making fun of me." The person in charge on the other end of the phone did not believe what Saito Hiko said.

"I'm not kidding you, it's just that my voice is a little childish." Saitohiko lowered his voice and said seriously, "I am sincerely negotiating cooperation with you on behalf of Ichiban Productuon. I am now at the venue where the Spring Festival was held in previous years. You can come and discuss cooperation with me in person. Even if the negotiation is unsuccessful, I will give you 10,000 yen as a reward for your hard work."

When Hoshino Ai heard that Saito Hiko was going to give money to the other party unconditionally, she had something to say, but she felt that interrupting the negotiation was very rude, so she planned to wait until Saito Hiko finished the call before telling him.

"Maybe 10,000 yen isn't a lot, but it's just a small token of my appreciation. If we can work together successfully, I will personally give you 100,000 yen." Saito Hiko used the krypton gold tactic on the person in charge.

The person in charge was a little tempted when he heard Saito Hiko say that he could get 10,000 yen just for a meeting. He lived in the commercial street, and it was only a few minutes' walk from the place Saito Hiko mentioned.

"Since you are so sincere, let's meet." The person in charge didn't think for long before agreeing to negotiate with Saito Ma.

After getting the reply, Saitohiko felt that it was not appropriate to discuss things in an open space, so he wanted to find a suitable place.

After thinking about it, he remembered that he had just glanced at a coffee shop at the entrance of the shopping street, so he said, "Let's meet at the coffee shop at the entrance of the shopping street."

"OK, I'll be there soon." The person in charge responded.

Saito Hiko also responded and hung up the phone.

Hoshino Ai waited obediently until Saito Hiko ended the call, and then she said what she wanted to ask just now: "You gave the other party money at the beginning, it feels like a waste... and how can you be so sure that the other party will agree?"

She didn't understand why Saitohiko was so confident.

"It's hard for Fukuzawa Yukichi to fail if he gets things done."

Saitohiko was worried that Hoshino Ai wouldn't understand what he really meant, so he added, "I gave you a budget of 5 million yen at the beginning, and the current advance expenditure is only 110,000. Since this is a festival, we definitely don't need to spend extra money on the stage, and we don't need to pay other staff members. So next time we meet, I will throw money at him until he agrees."

Hoshino Ai only remembered this matter when she heard Saito Hiko's words.

But she still has some concerns, “What if the other party takes the money but doesn’t do the job, or runs away?”

"The 10,000 yen is just to give him a chance to meet, and the 100,000 yen is not all given to him right away. The money will be transferred after the matter is completed. As the person in charge of the festival, he will not ruin his reputation for such a small amount of money."

Saitohiko thought for a moment and said, "Although the president seems unreliable, he was able to discover you from a vast crowd of people, and he has a strong eye for people.

Besides, if the president didn’t know the other party, he would definitely not give me the phone number of the person in charge and let me negotiate with the other party, so the other party is probably not that kind of irresponsible bastard. "

Saito Hiko praised both the president and Hoshino Ai, but he didn't say too much, as it would be too embarrassing if he was slapped in the face.

"Is that so..." Hoshino Ai understood a little after the explanation, but she was still a little worried, "Are there any other preparations besides this?"

When Saito Hiko heard Hoshino Ai's question, he took out a pen from his trouser pocket and asked Hoshino Ai: "Guess what this is?"

Hoshino Ai stared at the pen in Saitohiko's hand for a while, but didn't find anything wrong with it, so she replied, "Isn't this just an ordinary pen?"

"This is a voice recorder. Although this method is not good, it is very practical. Besides, if we can reach a cooperation, I plan to let him sign a contract." Saito Hiko was pleased to see that Hoshino Ai was so cautious, so he told her about his preparations.

"So you are so well prepared..." Hoshino Ai sighed when she heard that Saito Hiko had prepared at least two ways of dealing with the situation.

"Anyway, let's hurry to that coffee shop. If we're late, the other party might just turn around and leave, thinking I'm making fun of him." Saito Hiko quickly grabbed Hoshino Ai's hand and ran into the coffee shop on the shopping street.

Saito Hiko entered the coffee shop and noticed that they were the only ones there at the moment.

It was so deserted that Saito Hiko couldn't help but doubt the president's estimate of the crowd flow.

"Welcome, would you like something to drink?"

The person who spoke was a gray-haired old man in his fifties or sixties standing behind the counter.

"Do you need hand-brewed coffee? I'm quite confident about hand-brewed coffee." The old man began to introduce it to himself.

Saito Hiko didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Hoshino Ai beside him before looking at the menu.

After thinking about it, I didn't feel like drinking anything, so I chose a latte.

Hoshino Ai also frowned and thought for a while, she hesitated and chose a cup of vanilla coffee.

The store manager was stunned for a moment after the two people placed their orders, and asked again: "Do you want latte art?"

"No need." Saito Hiko replied.

"Rabbit~" Hoshino Ai thought for a moment and said, "Add more milk or sugar to the coffee. I don't like bitter things."

The smile on the store manager's face gradually faded, but he still forced himself to keep it on.

If you can’t drink coffee, just order something else. Adding too much sugar or milk will destroy the original aroma of the cocoa beans!

The store manager was roaring in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and said to the two in a gentle tone: "Please sit down for a while, it will be ready soon."

After he told me this, he turned around and started making coffee.

Saito Hiko and Hoshino Ai found a seat for four in the store and sat down.

He asked Hoshino Ai to sit in the same row with him, and reserved the seat for the person in charge.

Not long after, Saito Hiko saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking in.

The man talked to the store manager for a few words and looked around as if he was looking for something.

When he saw Saito Hiko and Hoshino Ai, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

The voice that just spoke was about the same age as the boy in front of him.

"You are Arakawa, right?" Saito Hiko tried to greet the other party.

It's the voice on the phone.

The man was stunned for a moment when he heard Saito Hiko's voice, but soon came to his senses and walked in front of Saito Hiko.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Saito Hiko take out a 10,000 yen bill with Fukuzawa Yukichi printed on it from his wallet.

"This is your hard work fee."

Saitohiko took out the money and handed it to the man, then made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please take a seat."

The man took the big bill and checked it again and again to make sure it was not a counterfeit.

Only then did he sit down opposite Saito Hiko.

After sitting down, he thought for a while before speaking: "Although I personally want to get compensation from you, the performance arrangements at the Spring Festival are already confirmed, and it is difficult for me to change them."

When Saito Hiko heard this line, he knew that the deal was done and the person in charge in front of him said this just to raise the price.

Chapter 102 If things can’t be done, it’s probably because you didn’t give enough

There is still one month left until the Kasuga Festival. Even if the performances for the Kasuga Festival have been decided, some time will still be reserved in the performance arrangements.

"Two hundred thousand yen." Saito Hiko didn't waste any words and started raising the price directly.

"I can help you submit the application." The person in charge thought for a moment and said, "But I can't guarantee you success."

It seems it's still not enough.

After hearing this answer, Saitohiko could only raise the price: "400,000 yen."

"It's really not about the money, but I will try my best to help you get the qualification to perform at the Spring Festival, and try to convince the other members."

The person in charge felt that it was about right, so he made a promise to Saito Hiko.

It’s reached the critical point, but it still feels not enough.

Do you mean you want to divert other people's funds?

Saitohiko thought about what the person in charge said, "One million yen! I can pay you 100,000 yen first."

The person in charge's eyes lit up, and he also thought that this might be the highest price the other party offered, so he replied: "I hope you can perform well at the Spring Festival."

The person in charge stared at Saito Hiko after he finished speaking.

Saito Hiko saw what the other party meant, took out ten ten thousand yuan bills from his wallet, took them out and placed them on the table.

"But we have to sign a contract," Saito Hiko made a request.

"The contract..." The person in charge hesitated and did not agree.

If this is signed, it might become a handle for him.

"This is just normal sponsorship, not some kind of relationship-building..." Saito Hiko said cryptically.

Remind the other party that this is a legal thing to do.

Hoshino Ai still felt a little unhappy when she saw Saito Hiko handing the money to the person in charge.

"Okay then." The person in charge felt that what Saito Hiko said was right and agreed directly.

Saitohiko said, and took out three folded white papers from his pocket.

He opened the paper, revealing the words inside.

This was a contract he had prepared long ago. He only needed to fill in numbers, responsibilities and obligations, and then sign it.

"It seems that you are well prepared." The person in charge praised and took the contract from Saito Hiko.

After carefully reading the text above and confirming it, I saw that it actually had the location of the 'stall' for the Spring Festival written on it, but the cost would also be paid by Saito Hiko's side, and it just required qualifications.

When the person in charge saw that Saito Hiko was generous and had no other tricks, he readily stamped and signed.

At this time, Saitohiko adjusted his collar so that the buttons on his chest were facing the person in charge's face.

Record the other person's appearance and signature.

"Give."

After the other party signed and stamped the bill readily, Saito Hiko handed the remaining 90,000 yen to him.
