The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Royalties and everything else are trivial matters. Letting Shirogui work as a columnist for Asahisha News is what Murayama Ryuhei wants to achieve.

"Columnist?"

Bai Gui frowned, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Tempted!

He is tempted!

Asahisha is a plutocratic force. After he cut off Yagyu's one-handed wrist, he was in a crisis-ridden situation. The reason for a smooth transition was that the protection of the banner of Asahisha 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 Asahisha, Asahisha will benefit more. And he..., whether he goes to the Mainichi Shimbun or the Yomiuri Shimbun, these two newspapers that can compete with the Asahi News will be extremely welcoming. It is impossible not to give up the free benefits...

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 popularization column to collect submissions from scholars, students, and writers from all walks of life, and Bai Jun is responsible for this column. The specific affairs will be It is run 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 allow Asahisha to take the opportunity to enter the academic publishing industry. Of course, Yufei Pavilion may not be able to compete in academic publishing, but Bai Gui is 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 Asahi Shimbun newspaper will also see a huge increase in sales 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, which is a best-seller, and the money you make will definitely be more than the dead salary in the position. But the problem is, not many people write bestsellers.

There are not many writers with stable output.

Taking the current common wages in Japan, a female textile worker earns 7 yen a month, an ordinary soldier earns 2 yen a month, a naval soldier earns 1 yen a month, a colonel level earns 103 yen, and a naval captain earns 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 can also be regarded as a clever trick by Asahisha. Who knows? Don't want to offend.

Although the book Guns and Paos is not as popular as Natsume's "I Am a Cat" and has sold more copies, 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, and he put his hands together and unconsciously held the wine glass.

"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 could only steal the chicken but lose the rice. However, Bai Gui's face didn't look like he was being hypocritical, and he extended his hand in preparation for a handshake.

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, he will inevitably appear to be petty by fussing over certain salaries this time. However, under the conditions of the same salary, whether Bai Gui can sit still as a newcomer 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.

…

For several days, Bai Gui was not idle, 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 person..."

Minister Wu joked.

"It's just a false name."

"There's no need to meet 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 saw quite a few celebrities in Japan. They also exchanged business cards with each other, but at that time he was still serializing the first volume of the Qin Empire and was not well-known. He just met and said hello.

Nowadays, if these celebrities want to see him again or contact him, there is not much need. Although it is good to make more friends, so many people will inevitably distract you from your skills, and it will be of no use to have closer relationships.

waste time!

As long as his reputation remains intact and he pays attention to his sense of propriety, he can take advantage of everything 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 and practice martial arts.

Besides, the country is not stable recently, so it’s 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 his subject and asked, "You came here to send a letter again?"

After saying these words, he couldn't help but sigh. Ordinary students studying in Japan, no matter how wealthy their families were, would not come here every three 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 buy 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 been paying attention to Bai Gui's movements. Similarly, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is not far from Japan. It doesn't take long 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 and more than 300,000 words. It would take up to ten days to complete the translation."

Bai Gui replied.
