168, History academic columnist (seeking full order)
Royalties and everything else are novels, and having Hakugui work for Asahisha as a columnist is what Ryuhei Murayama wants to achieve.
"Columnist?"
Bai Gui frowned, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Tempting!
He is tempted!
Asahisha is a plutocratic force. After he cut off Yagyu's one-handedness, he was in a crisis-ridden situation. The reason for a smooth transition was that the protection of the Asahisha banner was indispensable...
At that time, he was only a temporary editorial commentator for Asahi News.
Of course, with his current status, if he serves as a columnist for Asahi News, Asahi News will benefit more. And he..., whether he goes to Mainichi Shimbun or Yomiuri Shimbun, these two can communicate with Asahi News
Newspapers that compete with each other will also be extremely welcoming, and it is impossible not to give up the benefits that come to your door for free...
But as Murayama Ryuhei said, since we have already cooperated so much, it would be better to work as a columnist for Asahi News.
Seeing that Bai Gui had not yet agreed, Murayama Ryuhei said again: "We at Asahisha want to open a new historical academic science popularization column, collecting submissions from scholars, students, and writers from all walks of life, and Bai Jun is responsible for this column, and the specific affairs will be
It is managed by a dedicated editorial department. Bai Jun only needs to write a short science popularization story once a month. We will pay Bai Jun a salary of 250 yen a month... and if a work comes out, we will also pay a certain amount of writing materials.
…”
He was prepared to strike while the iron was hot and let Asahisha take the opportunity to enter the academic publishing industry. Of course, Yufeika might not be able to compete with him in academic publishing, but Hakui was undoubtedly an opportunity.
Similarly, opening a historical and academic popular science column in a news newspaper is a good move to improve the quality of your own newspaper. Maybe the sales of Asahi Shimbun newspapers will increase significantly in the future...
"Two hundred and fifty yen a month..."
Even though Bai Guijian had a lot of money, he was still shocked by the high salary offered by Asahisha.
This is different from writing. Writing is a best-selling book, and the money you earn is definitely more than the dead salary of the position. But the problem is that there are really not many people who write best-selling books.
There are not many writers with stable output.
Based on the current common wages in Japan, a female textile worker is 1.7 yen a month, an ordinary soldier is 1.2 yen a month, a naval soldier is 2.1 yen a month, a colonel is 103 yen, and a navy captain is 208 yen...
, the current monthly salary of the chief minister of the cabinet is only 800 yen...
"In terms of annual salary, this is the same as senior Xia Mian."
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows, thought of something quickly, and smiled.
In the industry, it is well known that the annual salary offered by Asahisha to Natsume Soseki is 3,000 yen, and his monthly salary is 250 yen. Calculated, it is the same as Natsume Soseki’s annual salary. It is also considered a clever act by Asahisha. Who knows?
Don't want to offend.
Although the book Guns and Pao is not as popular as Natsume's "I Am a Cat" and is not as popular as Natsume's "I Am a Cat", Guns and Paos is a historical and academic work. Even though he is a junior in the literary world, his status is almost the same as Natsume's.
…
In the eyes of some people, his status is even higher!
Even if you are a rising star!
"Bai Jun's eyes are as bright as a torch..."
Murayama Ryuhei's "expression" was slightly embarrassed, but he held the porcelain cup with his hands together and relied on the temperature of the cup body to keep warm.
"Your company is thoughtful and considerate of this. It's a big deal."
Bai Gui looked indifferent and stretched out his hand.
Hearing this, Ryuhei Murayama thought it was irony, saying that they stole the chicken but lost the rice, but seeing that Bai Gui's face didn't look like he was being hypocritical, he extended his hand again, ready to shake hands.
It suddenly dawned on him that Bai Gui had agreed to this matter.
"I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with your company."
Bai Guidao.
Since he has chosen to "let bygones be bygones" before, it will inevitably appear that he is petty in fussing over certain salaries this time. However, under the conditions of the same salary, Bai Gui, as a successor, can make the decision. It depends on whether Natsume Soseki can sit still...
Being able to sit still is all that matters.
Anyway, he is still young and there is a good chance that his salary will be higher than Natsume Soseki's.
If you can't sit still...
That means Natsume Soseki's reputation has been damaged.
…
Bai Gui kept busy for several days and finally translated the Chinese version of the book Guns and Pao.
He came to the embassy.
"Meihe, you are really famous in Japan now and your reputation spreads far and wide."
"Many celebrities living in Japan have written to me, saying they want to get to know you, a famous celebrity..."
Minister Wu joked.
"It's just a false name."
"There's no need to meet any celebrities in Japan. I'd better study in peace..."
"Put academics first."
Bai Gui laughed a few times and quickly declined.
Last time at the embassy dance, I met quite a few celebrities in Japan. We also exchanged business cards with each other. However, at that time, he was still serializing the first volume of the Qin Empire and was not well-known. We just met and said hello.
Nowadays, if these celebrities want to see him again or keep in touch, there is not much need. Although it is good to make more friends, so many people will inevitably distract them, and it will be useless to have closer relationships.
waste time!
As long as his reputation remains intact and he pays attention to his sense of propriety, he can get away with it wherever he goes.
There is no need to run up and curry favor.
In addition, Bai Gui also plans to avoid the limelight recently.
He has been in the limelight too much, and any show in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
During this time..., I still study hard, practice martial arts and cultivate myself.
Besides, the country is not stable recently, so it is better to have less contact with these celebrities in Japan...
"You might as well refuse..."
Minister Wu nodded and said nothing more.
Socializing like banquets is indeed a troublesome thing, especially socializing with so many unfamiliar people.
He changed the topic and asked: "You came here to send a letter again?"
After saying these words, he couldn't help but sigh. No matter how wealthy his family was, ordinary students studying in Japan would not come here every two days to send letters, but Bai Gui only came here every once in a while.
"Yes, this time I am sending a letter to Mr. Zhu. It is the Chinese translation of "Guns, Germs, and Steel". I plan to mail it to Mr. Zhu."
Bai Gui nodded.
"Why don't you give it to the Commercial Press? They recently learned that you wrote a masterpiece, and they are urging you to purchase the copyright for printing. You translated it yourself, so it's just right..."
Minister Wu suggested.
After the Commercial Press came into contact with Bai Gui, it has also been paying attention to Bai Gui's movements. Similarly, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is not far from Japan, and it does not take much time for any news to reach the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Once this Chinese translation is mailed to Mr. Zhu, it is inevitable that he will have to spend time to get another Chinese translation.
"Let the students do the translation..."
"The meaning of their translation is not much different from what I translated. It just took some effort, more than 300,000 words, and it would take up to ten days at most."
