Chapter 300 Reasoning!
"Since we have finished looking at the bookstore here, Kamishiro-kun, let's go back to the coffee shop with you to get the manuscript."
Igarashi Chinatsu suggested.
Kamishiro Hakufu nodded and said:
"Well, let's go."
On the way back to the coffee shop.
Kamishiro Hakufu asked:
"By the way, why did you suddenly come here today?"
"And from your tone, it seems that something happened?"
Igarashi Chinatsu got angry when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth in anger, and immediately wanted to explain to Kamishiro Hakufu.
However, after thinking about it, she felt that she was an adult.
And Kamishiro Hakufu was only a high school student, and it seemed that there was no need for her to pass on this negative emotion to others.
Because now others are happy because of the good sales of the novel.
Wouldn't it ruin other people's mood if she told others?
Thinking of this, Igarashi Chinatsu shook her head and said:
"No, it's not a big deal."
"Kamiyo-kun, you don't have to worry about it."
Kamiyo Hakufeng said softly:
"It's good that you're fine."
Igarashi Chinatsu suddenly thought of something and asked:
"By the way, regarding the royalties, the royalties for the previous month are fixed on the 10th of every month."
"So, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get the royalties for this novel so quickly this month."
"Do you know about this?"
Kamiyo Hakufeng had seen this clause in the contract before, and he didn't care:
"I know."
Igarashi Chinatsu nodded and said:
" Just so you know. "
"But I still want to remind you that our company does not help you file taxes for your royalties."
"So you need to pay the taxes yourself."
"But remember not to evade taxes and pay on time, otherwise it will be very, very troublesome."
"Once the tax bureau finds out that you have evaded taxes in large amounts, they will really detain and fine you without hesitation."
"In addition, more importantly, it will affect your personal reputation."
"If you need any advice, you can contact our company and we will help you give advice."
Kamiyo Hakufeng also knows this.
The Japanese tax system requires individuals to declare and pay income tax on their own.
Although the company will withhold and pay part of the tax, the final tax return still needs to be completed by the individual.
This design helps ensure the fairness and transparency of taxation and reduce possible tax violations by the company.
In Japan, every taxpayer has the responsibility to ensure that their tax affairs are properly handled.
This includes understanding and complying with relevant tax laws and regulations, and declaring and paying taxes on time.
Although the company can provide certain support and guidance, it cannot replace the individual to complete these obligations.
Moreover, personal income and tax status are sensitive information, and self-declaration by individuals helps protect their privacy.
If the company declares taxes uniformly, the risk of personal information leakage may increase.
Self-declaration by individuals also provides greater flexibility, and you can choose the appropriate tax declaration method and time according to your actual situation to maximize your tax benefits.
After all, every country is very concerned about taxation.
Once tax evasion is discovered, it will be dealt with very severely.
According to Kamishiro Hakufeng, in addition to some actresses, there are still many authors and cartoonists who evade taxes, resulting in arrests and fines.
Because of this, the future of these people is basically ruined.
After all, if the Japanese network knows that such high-income people do not pay taxes, they will not hesitate to attack and strongly boycott the works of such people.
In order to avoid this problem, many high-income people only dare to find legal channels to avoid taxes, but they dare not evade taxes.
Kamishiro Hakufeng is just an ordinary person, and he currently has no intention of challenging any laws and regulations.
He nodded and said:
"Well, if there is anything I don't understand, I will contact you."
As the two chatted, they almost arrived at the entrance of the coffee shop.
When seeing the long line at the entrance of the coffee shop, Igarashi Chinatsu was shocked again:
"Kamiyo-kun, your coffee shop is really popular."
"This is the first time I have seen so many people queuing in front of a coffee shop."
Kamiyo Hakufeng smiled slightly and said nothing.
His eyes were not focused on the line, but on the store next to the coffee shop. He realized that this store had actually been decorated for a while.
But it is still not open?
There is not even a plaque on it?
This is a bit strange.
Kamiyo Hakufeng turned his head and looked at other stores on the street.
He found that those stores were not even decorated inside, but plaques were already installed at the door.
In this comparison, he felt that the owner of this store, who had never appeared so far, was getting more and more strange.
But after thinking about it, Kamiyo Hakufeng did not delve into it.
He just felt that others might have their own plans.
Then.
He brought Igarashi Chinatsu back to the coffee shop.
After returning.
Mizuno Maki and Shiina Shoko, who were busy opening the shop, looked up at the time at the same time.
They found that only a few minutes had passed since they returned.
Seeing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought that they really just chatted for a while.
"Then I will take you up to get the manuscript now." Jindai Bai Feng said.
Igarashi Chinatsu smiled and said:
"Um."
With that said, the two walked up to the attic.
In the attic.
Kamishiro Erina, Maeshima Rika, Watanabe Hina, Chitanda Mirai, and Urahara Junko were all reading novels on it.
After discovering that Kamidai Bai Feng had returned so soon, several people also let go of their worries.
However, a few people were very confused about why Chinatsu Igarashi came over.
Kamishiro Erina said curiously:
"Miss Igarashi, are you here to read Onii-chan's manuscript?"
Chinatsu Igarashi thought that she could finally read the second half of the novel "White Night Journey" written by Kamishiro Shiro Kaede. She nodded very happily and said:
"Well, yes."
"I came here this time to review the second half of the plot, and by the way, I also brought the manuscript over to show it to the people in the company."
After Chitanda Mirai heard this, he put his index finger on his chin and fell into deep thought.
It turns out that Kamishiro-kun hasn’t handed this manuscript to Miss Igarashi yet?
She remembered that the novel Jindai Bai Feng had been finished many days ago.
Even during this period, I was already writing other novels.
But Kamishiro-kun just now handed over the novel "White Night Journey" he wrote to Chinatsu Igarashi?
Something's wrong with this
It's so well written, why can't it be handed over to the editor right away?
Kamishiro-kun himself is not a fool, how could he not know that his novel is very good.
Even if he himself really doesn't know, he will still know based on the feedback from people like them.
Since he knew about it but did not submit the manuscript to the editor immediately, it is not difficult to see what Kamishiro-kun had planned.
Chitanda Mirai thought carefully.
She remembered that the novel by Kamidai Bai Feng was only on the shelves today.
However, Kamishiro-kun chose to hand over another manuscript to Chinatsu Igarashi today?
That may be because he chose to do this after seeing the sales of his novel after it was put on the shelves.
Although it is not clear what the purpose of Kamidai Haku maple is, as long as he continues to deduce his behavior this time, he may be able to guess Kamidai Haku maple's purpose.
Now there are two results.
One is that the release performance of Kamidai Haku maple is very poor.
According to Jindai-kun, he has said before that if this book fails to be put on the shelves, he will give up without hesitation and choose the next one.
Now it seems that this situation is also consistent.
As for the second result.
That’s why the novels written by Kamishiro-kun are on the shelves very well.
Therefore, he plans to continue his efforts and submit the second book together, so that while his own work is still famous, there can be a linkage between the two works.
Let those who like his novels read another one after reading this one.
Analyzing these two results, the similarities can be attributed to income issues.
Therefore, Chitanda Mirai feels that his conclusion is correct.
Since there is a question about income, and combined with Kamidai Juncai's actions now to contribute, his real purpose becomes obvious.
That is because Kamishiro-kun wants to use the second submitted book to negotiate a share with the editorial department based on the market feedback after it is released.
If you think about it that way, it all makes sense.
Chitanda Mirai himself has submitted manuscripts, and has also learned about the publishing company’s share of revenue and contract issues.
She knew that it was indeed possible to negotiate with the publisher in terms of sharing.
Especially good authors with achievements.
That goes without saying.
After all, once a successful author wants to publish a new book, no matter which publisher will rush to read the manuscript first, once they find that the manuscript is acceptable, they will immediately discuss the issue of profit sharing and contract signing.
In fact, this is basically a well-known thing in the industry.
But only authors who have achieved results will receive this kind of treatment.
For ordinary authors without any achievements, it is basically impossible to negotiate a share.
Even Chitanda Mirai himself is like this.
If you think about it this way, it all makes perfect sense.
Chitanda Mirai felt that the book "White Night Journey" written by Kamishiro Shirokaed was really popular, so he asked for a higher share, which was very reasonable.
Otherwise, Chinatsu Igarashi wouldn't have read the first half of "White Night Journey" and immediately came over to read the manuscript as soon as Kamishiro Hakuedu said that there was a plot for the second half.
That means Chinatsu Igarashi also sees the explosive potential of "White Night Walk".
If we reason based on this level, it seems that Kamishiro-kun's listing performance must be very good.
Otherwise, why would he not ask the clerk about the book sales situation in person after going to the bookstore.
Even after just looking at the place where new books are on the shelf, I basically look at my phone as if searching, typing, and chatting with someone.
Also because Kamishiro-kun rarely plays with his mobile phone, he rarely takes the initiative to turn on his mobile phone to chat with other people.
Since he took the initiative to turn on his mobile phone at that time, it means that he most likely wanted to chat with someone about the novel to inquire about the situation.
That person is most likely Chinatsu Igarashi, or some other related person.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
But if he just wants to ask about the sales situation, then there is no need to contact others to ask, he can just ask the store clerk in person.
Since he hadn't asked, he probably knew the result at the first glance at the bookshelf.
And there was only one book that could directly see the result at that time.
That was the completely sold-out "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas"!
In this case.
The general process of the incident was that after Kamishiro-kun went there, he saw that his books were selling very well, and then he stood aside to search and inquire about the future sales trend of the books.
Finally, through the inquiry on the phone, he confirmed that he could negotiate a good price, so he told Igarashi Chinatsu who had just arrived that the book had been written, asked her to come over to read the manuscript, and handed it to the publisher for cross-examination.
However, after that, he would definitely not sign the contract immediately, and would probably wait a few days after the publisher contacted him before discussing the profit sharing issue.
Because this is how business is done. Since he has good products here, it is not him who is anxious, but other people who have demand for his goods.
In addition, Kamishiro-kun's "White Night Walk" is so well written, and "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" is also selling well. It is likely that his novel will be signed immediately wherever it is placed!
So Kamishiro-kun probably saw this point clearly, so he planned to submit the manuscript today, and then he was ready to see if Futaba Publishing House would give him a reasonable contract share.
Although Chitanda Mirai did not dare to guarantee that her reasoning was completely correct, Kamishiro-kun's behavior logic should be almost correct.
As for the confirmation channel, it is also very simple. Just guide Ms. Igarashi later, or take a look at the book "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" in person and you will know.
Every author has idiomatic words when writing novels.
It is basically the kind that can be seen as long as you observe carefully.
But if this is true, it would be interesting.
After all, everyone speculated that Kamishiro Hakufeng would never write a love novel.
But he really wrote it?
No wonder he was reluctant to show them his first novel during this period.
It is probably because he felt a little shy after hearing what they said, and didn't want to say it.
Really cute, Kamishiro-kun.
Chitanda Mirai looked at Kamishiro Hakufeng and smiled slightly with her hands covering her mouth.
"The manuscript is here. Miss Igarashi, do you want to finish reading it here or take it back directly?" Kamishiro Hakufeng asked.
Igarashi Chinatsu smiled and said:
"Just read it here."
"Since I'm here, I also want to try Kamishiro-kun's coffee and food again."
Urahara Junko raised her hand and said heavily:
"Junko, I want to eat too!"
Kamishiro Erina and others did the same, saying that they all wanted to eat what he made himself.
Kamishiro Hakufeng smiled and said:
"Of course."
"After you order what you want to eat, just let Erina send me a message."
With that, Kamishiro Hakufeng left the attic and went downstairs to prepare to open the store.
After he left, Chitanda Mirai was temporarily not in the mood to read the literary books on the small table.
Because when she was flipping through them before, she noticed that the writing styles of these authors were very different from Kamishiro Hakufeng's.
At first, she thought Kamishiro-kun had changed his writing style, but now it seems that she was overthinking.
In order to confirm whether her previous reasoning was correct.
Chitanda Mirai looked at Igarashi Chinatsu in front of her and asked with a smile:
"Ms. Igarashi, did you know that we have a little game with Kamishiro-kun?"
Igarashi Chinatsu blinked and nodded with a smile:
"Yes, I know."
"He just told me that you guess which book published by Futaba Publishing House today is Kamishiro-kun's, right?"
Chitanda Mirai nodded with a smile:
"Yes."
"Since Miss Igarashi knows, then..."
Igarashi Chinatsu remembered what Kamishiro Hakufu had said before, and quickly suggested:
"First of all, I won't tell you which book he wrote."
Maejima Rika said angrily:
"Why is that?"
"I can't tell at all Which one is written by Kamishiro-kun?"
"I wanted Miss Igarashi to give the answer directly."
Erina Kamishiro coughed and said:
"Let me explain first, I am the same."
"I didn't want to ask Miss Igarashi what the answer was."
"I actually already know which novel written by Onii-chan is here now."
Hina Watanabe smiled proudly:
"It's okay, even if Miss Igarashi doesn't say it, I can tell which one is written by Kamishiro-kun."
Junko Urahara scratched her head:
"Junko, I don't understand, but I want to eat the meal customized by Kamishiro-kun. Can you guess the answer? "
Chitanda Mirai was silent for a while, and didn't know how to complain about them.
After hearing what they said, Chinatsu Igarashi laughed even more brilliantly.
Because she knew that none of the books present were the ones written by Kamishiro Hakufeng.
So no matter how they guessed, the result was wrong!
"Then try your best to guess, maybe you can really guess it."
Chitanda Mirai smiled and guided:
"Ms. Igarashi, I remember when we went there this time, there was a book that we couldn't buy because it sold so well."
"Is that also from Futaba Publishing?"
Erina Kamishiro suddenly realized:
"Oh, it's the one I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, right?"
"I heard from my classmates in other schools that this novel seems to be very good."
Maejima Rika said regretfully:
"It's a pity that this book sold so well that we couldn't buy it."
"But, it doesn't look like Kamishiro-kun is someone who would write this kind of love novel."
Igarashi Chinatsu was actually a little surprised when she heard everyone talking about this book, but after hearing what Maejima Rika said, she immediately laughed very happily:
"Hehe, it's indeed from our publishing house."
"But if everyone wants to read it, I can bring a copy back for you to read."
"In this way, you will really have collected all the books of this issue of our Futaba Publishing House, which is fair enough."
"After the books are collected, remember to read them carefully, the answer is in these books."
Chitanda Mirai smiled slightly, and she had already seen the result from Igarashi Chinatsu's expression and words.
As for the rest, it's time to read Kamishiro-kun's novel.
She was very curious about what the love novel written by Kamishiro-kun would be like.
It is said that people will write the type of girls they like in the novels they write.
This case can be seen from the novels written by Watanabe-senpai and Maejima Rika.
In this case, maybe we can guess what type of girls he is interested in now through the characteristics of the heroine.
